EJTERAL HALL.—Among recent publications is a -ilnme of letters of Qneen Margaret of Anjou and Beckum and others, written in the reign of ?rv V. and Henry VI. from a M.S., found at Emeral, ?hire. The scarcity of the letters of Queen Mar- "t and the consequent value of the volume, may be r:r 'edfrom the fact that in 1461 of half-a-dozen noble- ?n tad gentlemen arrested on the bare suspicion of re- —?ng letters from her, all but one were executed. This enroe of letters were written between the years 1445 Inp 1455, and transcribed in the same century, as is sup- ?<1 by John Edwards, of Chirkland, a daughter of ?e family married into th&t of the Puleston's, of fmcral, at the mansion of which place it was discovered fo: years ago. The volume is edited by Mr Cecil Morris, and is published by the Camden Society. JGE NEW CAM STAND.—It will be seen by our report of the proceedings of the Local Board that the cab stand, fcr which they granted permission at their previous meeting is likely to grow. Mr Reed will have the hon- ,,ar of being the first to place a vehicle on the stand, in fact he originated the thing, but it appears he is not long ac'" 0 (j have a monopoly of it. Mr Hideout was an applicant ¡ilr!\ similar license on Tuesday last to the one granted j t 0 Mr Reed, and it is rumoured that there is a third one fpoken of as likely to make an application at the next meeting of the Board. The two who have obtained licenses seem to give the preference to four wheelers," we trust, therefore, that the next will put a hansom on the stand. FOOTBALL On Saturday last a foot ball match was iilgvi'd on the ground at the Turf Tavern, between ten of the l'rinee of Wales Fire Brigade and ten of the club, which resulted in an easy victory for the fire brigade, i thev winning the two first goals out of three. The fol- lowing were the players. Mr Kershaw's side-C. E. Kershaw, J. Tayler, T. Hanmer, E. Knibbs, T. Broster, G. R. Johnson, T. Sykes, Jos. Roberts, Sergt. Heath, Sergt. Tootell. The llrigade-Lieut. Lewis, Sergt. Hees. See. T. R. Heywood, S. C. Jones, Thos. Price, W. if. Pritchard, Munday, Ed. Evans, W. E. Wil- liams. L W. R Th' CORRT LEEK, WRExn.? REnis.—This curious piece (,f antiquity connected with Wrexham Regis, was held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday last. The court met in Town Hall in the morning, and despatched the business in a few minutes. In the evening a more influential l«)rtion of the business was transacted at the Wynnstay \nns, in the shape of doing justice to a good dinner, which Mr Murless sparing no pains in' preparing and serving up. The chair was occupied by Mr Heywood, and lifter discussing the feast, the company proceeded to discuss the local politics and the relative prospects of "rells" and whites," the latter being decidedly the favourites. WINTTN COURSE OF LECTURES AND MUSICAL Ex- TKET.UNMKNTK.—The second entertainment of the above coarse came off on Wednesday evening last, and con- sisted of a number of dramatic recitals by Mr W. Mont- gmery, a new name to us in connection with our winter coarse of lectures and entertainments, and certainly a valuable accession to the list. With a commanding presence, a voice of great compass, over which he has the most perfect control, Mr Montgomery comes be- fore his audience as a master of his art. Every recital that he went through on Wednesday was above the average. The piece on the bells was enchanting, and elicited rounds of applause. The pieces selected from Shakespeare were spoken with great taste, grace, and effect. The Bloomsbury Christening" from Sketches by Buz" was selected as the closing scene, a piece that it is impossible for an ordinary mortal to read without being in danger of splitting his sides with laughter, but in the hands, or rather in the mouth of Mr Montgomery, it caused the walls of the old Town Hall to resound again with laughter. The audience was large and re- sectable.
