(Applause.) TI; Vicar, liev. H. Ellis, th-n addre^ed in a \i/orous speech, in which he said that the meeting w is called together to test the temperance work done the Society was first inaugurated under such aiispicous circumstances and with such enthusiasm t eo years ago, and to take stock of their then position -,vitil a vit,w if possible to infuse new vigour and enthusiasm and "go" into their proceedings. There "n' I\OW on the books the names of 04 abstainers, Of! non-abstainers, and 67 juveniles, a number which he < onsidered to he wholly inadequate as far as results v as concerned to the promising circumstances in v. hicti tht-v started, and though they had then all ag"reed to (i., their best in the cause, that they had not tht-ir ht-.t and indeed very little for the further- ance of the temperance principles. The Society was not a nariow one, being glad of the co-operation o. the abstainer on one hand and oi the i "ii-abstainer on the nthel, suen as his frien.ls Mr Bankcs and the chairman, men, w ho. though they might not be professed abstainers, wt-iv nearly good, and saw with grief n.ischivf that was i- "e by the lamentable ii ,1n1;cc in intoxicating drinks which characterised j the people of thi < country.

Who were they who wished it open, the working men? No, they had petitioned and voted for their closing. The Ptiblic.in.s? The great majority even of them petitioned for closing the houses. I wished ta speak with' | respect of the publicans. S.vr. of them were among his best friends, and many of them ha l, even before the Bili was a<ked for, closed their houses on the Sunday. So that they closed their houses not in con- .-eq-c-nce of the law compelling them to do so, but hecaus! from a pure desire to keep the Sunday holy and a wish that their families should enjoy the ptivacWs of home for one day in seven at lea t. Who was it then that wanted to keep the houses open ? It was not the working men, nor the majority oi the publicans, but th3 loafers who were sat-n about the directs, and whose drinking habits hall, bec..me a something morbid. He must say they ought to be thankful for trie bill to Mr John Roberts —('pplau-e)—who, perhaps, lie could not agree with in all things, and probably on ecclesiastical questions, th -y would nut lie found on the same platform, but he v, >\s of those who t'-anked him heartily for his i ox-iLi.ms in favor of making holy the seventh day- i (applause)—and he thought they ought as citizens of Flint, be proud of a loan who had the moral courage to put himself in the front with regard to the ques tie'—(h-.ar, hear.)—and who had nimseif built miles of strceCr, in Liverpool in which there was not a single pub lie house. (Applause.) The Vicitr then dwelt on the neer-,sity for supplying counter enjoyments and attractions, asking what had become of Mr Ellis Eyton's gift, and the Eisteddvod surplus, declaring amid loud applause, that it was time something should be Jone with the money. The meeting was subsequently addressed by ?»Iessrs M. Knowles, J. Scoit Bankcs, parry Lloyd, and terminated in the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. BUCK LEI. TI:AI»E.—We understand that one of the works belonging to Messrs Davison and Co., of this place, has been standing since Saturday owing to a dispute having arisen between masters and men. We hope it will soon he satisfactorily settled. THF. INSTITUTE AND READING Room.-A irost sue- cessful miscellaneous meeting connected with this in- stitute was held in the Lane End School on Thursday evening week. The proceedings included music and ad.ire..ses. The meeting throughout was a most en- joyable one. i it-INGIIEGATIOiAL BAND Of HOPE.—Another of these interesting entertainments was given on Tues- day evening in the Schoolroom attached to the chapel, and consisted of songs, readings, recitations, &c. Mr Charles Gori-ard presided, and also gave an address. The attendance was very good. PENTROBIN METHODIST NEW CONNEXION CHAPEL. —Two sermons were preached in the above chapel in aid of the Foreign and Colonial Missions, that j in the morning by the Rev. A. C. Bevington, and in the evening by Airs Bevington. The attendance was j good, particularly that in the evening, the chapel being tightly packed. Collections were made in aid of the mission fund. Revival services were also held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings, and were conducted by the circuit pastor, Mr A. C. Bevington. EISTRE AIETHODIST NEW CONNEXION CHAPEL.—A very successful entertainment in aid of the chapel funds took place in the schoolroom adjoining the chapel on Monday evening. The chair was occupied by Mr John Newton, Buckley, who opened the meet- ing with a very humorous address. The programme, although a long one, was gone through in creditable manner, the principal feature of the evening being a string band, consisting of Mr James Humphries (violin), Mr Tho. Lamb (bass violin), Mr John Da vies (English concertina), and Master Noah Humphries (triangle). The performance of these gentlemen was much appreciated and very loudly applauded on each occasion. The usual vote of thanks to the chairman and performers was proposed by Mr T. Williams and I cardell with acclamation. } THE CESTRIAN MINSTREL-- —This excellent troupe gave one of their evening performances on Thursday week at the National schoolroom, Penymynydii. Th various items in the programme were much appreciated. The bones were in the hands of an able player, Mr F. Williams, and the tambourine by Mr A. William*. The morceaux provided by the above corner men, excited hearty laughter, and the funny man'euvres of these gentlemen evidently pleased the | audience very much. The duet, solo, and imitation of bells on the English concertina, by Brothers Wil- liams, was rendered in a very creditable manner, and loudly and deservedly encored. Profe3sor Clements performed some wonderful feats of leJgerde- main, each of his tricks being very loudly applauded. The singing of the National AtlthelJl terminated the proceedings. BOAUlJ SCHOOLS.—A grand and very successful concert on Tuesday even- ing week, the proceeds being devoted to the Bistre Trust. Mr G. l. Gregory, manager of Hawar.len Collieries, presided. A good programme of glees, songs, &c., were gone through in a very enjoyable manner, the comic element being well sustained by Mr F. Coleclough. Mr J. Pinnington gave the Tar's Farewell" and" Three Jolly Sailor Boys" with good effect Miss Lewis, Mynyddisa, who possesses a rich mellow voice and bears evidence of careful train- ing, rang, and her efforts were enthusiastically re- ceived, being- repeatedly encored the solos performed by Air J. Humphrey on the pianoforte were real musical treats. The rest of the songs contributed by Airs Lamb and Messrs. T. Jones and W. Hopwood elicited loud applause, their bongs being exceedingly well rendered. Air T. Snaitu also save selections on tile piccolo in good style. The glees by the Buckley United Choral Society, under the able leadership of Air Thomas .Tones, B..ar.l Schools, were very effi- ciently rendered, the accompanist being Mr .Joh1) Williams, Buckley. At the close of the programme a vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman and per- formers for their kind servicf-s on that occa-ion by Mr Williams, .seconded by Waitiwright, and was carried with acclamation. AIr Gregory, in respond- ing, said that it gave him very much pleasure in pre- siding over that meeting, and that he was only too happy to do anything thai lay in his power for so good a cause as e National Anthem then brought a .iccessful conc- rt to a close. COEDPOETH AND MINE CIA. HARVEST THANKSGIVING AT COEDPOETH. On Tuesday ni?ht, the Rev. Mr Williams, vicar oÏ Lhu- dyrnog, preached in Wel-h in the Iron Church, C")ed- pObth.

ACCIDENT AT PENYGELLI STOXE QUARRY—On Sat- urday, the 13oh of An?ust, an accident took \J1ae at Mr WiUi?m-.on't StonR (?ntrry, severely injuring an old man named Edward Edwards, who was taken home, but lingered in b,d until November 4th, when he died. On Saturday an inqiu-st was held at the Red Lion, Coedpoeth, before Mr Henry If ihreys, Deputy Coroner, Air Heth Jones being for.< of the jury. John Griffiths was first called and said he was an engineer, and drove a steam cane at Mr Willia a- son's s túne quarry, Penygelli. He was at work there on th e morning of the 13th of Aiisriist, and at the time was making the crane travel round, when the hook, in its passage, caught some rough stones. He could not stop the engine in titue, but shouted to the de- ceased to get out of the way. The block and hook*, weighing about half a cwt, struck him on the head and kuocKed hill! down.—Edward Jones, next called, said he v.orked in thc??Hte quarry as deceased, and  | about 0.40 a.m. was about five yard; from him. He s.?v the chain corning towards him and to'd him to shift hi- place, lie moved about a yard, but too late, for the chain caught some stones and in .swin?h:? from them struck Edwards ju-t over his left eye, "knocking I him down. Several of tho men went to him and lifted him up. He was quite insensible and bleeding profusely from the wound over ids left eye. He was carried to the cabin and Air Gibbon • sent for, who attended to him. He soon recovered his speech and !<aH "Leave me alone, I KhaH soon be alright." Wit- ness did not think there was any blame to be attach"d to anybody. After P.C. Wynne had proved the tl J .t "tJ 1 the identity of the body the jury, aTler a ion? consult- ation, re-turned a vei-.Uc? of "diè,l f?, ;] oIJ age," ac- ( eel-rated by the injuries r-jeiv?d Oil th ?:;?: 01  FATAL ACCTDEST .T THE COEDPOETH COLLIERV.— I On Wednesday evt?iin? week, an accident, caused bv the falling of t.he roof, occurred at the above colliery, causing the instant death of a widower, named Samuel Rogers, about -18 year. of ago. On Friday week an inquest was held at the Prince of Wales, Coedpoeth, before the Deputy Coroner, -md a jn1y, of which Mr T. H. Michell w?s foreman. Mr Hedley, G 'vern- ment Inspector, was also present. The body having been identified the enquiry was adjourned until Wednesday, when it was resumed, Mr Hedlev' Government Inspector, being again present. Mr Jones, certificated manager, was first called, and pro- duced the plan of the works. He said he had not been at the place where the accident took place that day, but the fireman and underlooker had been there. The place was in the brassey coal, Vron level. As far act he could see, and he had visited the place several times since, the deceased was interfering with a prop, and went the easiest way but most dangerous aid,. In the place where he was he ought to have taken extra precautions, as the roof might be dangerous. By the Inspector The deceased went under the roof, the easiest instead of the safest way, and tried to get the prop down by striking it with a hammer instead of using a jack and chain, which were ready when wanted. The deceased went down the pit about 3.30 p.m., and the accident took place at about G p.m.—Enoch Rogers said he was a collier, and worked at the Coedpoeth Colliery. He knew the j deceased, and went down with him at 3.30 p.m on the 2nd inst. He was working on the top side, while I Rogers was. a little lower, about four or five yards off. Witness heard him knocking at the top of the prop, and then heard a fall of stuff. Went round and found lie was buried under a large fall. Geo ve Jviwards and son soon came with others, and the body was got oat in about half an h air. He Was quite dead, and hi; face very ba lb bruls a!. By the Inspector There plen-y of pro, about, and if he had used j, li-. >.ry precaution I: • might have b-en alive, Wi:n •- did not kr. >w v. hy he did 1i, f'i > jack and chain as he c.nild have don-' so, an 1 would then I hr. ,:e been about 3i yard* of the fab, and so have been life.

Wynn in the chair. There were also present Mr J. O. Pngh (treasurer), Rev. H. C, William- (secretary), Air T. R. Wynne, Air O. Lloyd, and Air J. Hughes. From the report presented by the secre- tary, and the balance sheet by the treasurer, it was found that the institution was not in a flourishing condition, and it was decided to close it at the end of the year,—and steps were directed to he taken in order to carry that resolution into effect. It has been now carried on for five yo £ U' but the number of members has become lesby degrees—and beauniully small. Great praise is due, however, to those members of the committee who have stuck to it to the last. CENSUS OF RELIGIOUS ATTTENDANCE.—Following the example of the Dccil/f Pust in Liverpool, and of many others in different place, the publisher of the !*<' Wi'thnos caused an enumeration to be made of the attendance in all the places of worship at Corwen, on Sunday evening with the following result Calvinistic Methodists 246 Baptists 133 National tichool 11S Parish Church. ril Welsh flldc})8JJdent:s 6J English ditto .I. 5J Thus we find that out of a population amounting to 1300, 787 ware present at a religious service, or nearly two-thirds of the whole population. Again we find that 590 attended Non-conformist places 0 of worship, against 197 attending Church of England service. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, FRIDAY WEEK.—Pre- sent—Rev. D. Evans (chairman), Mr G. Parry (vice-chairman), Capt. Taylor, J.P., Messrs T. Ll. Murray Browne, J. White, J. Hughes, J. Edwards, E. Hughes, R. Jones, E. Williams, W. E. Wil- liams, H. Davies, E. Roberts, J. Roberts, M. Roberts, and E. Jones (clerk). Vagrants.—A very interesting item presented in the report of the master showed that only 53 vagrants had visited the house, compared with 115 in the cor- responding period of last year. The state of the weather may partly account for this, but some other cause must also have been at work. Reliyious Privileges. The inspector enquired what religious accommodation and privilege were provided for the inmates. After a long discussion on the sub- ject, the master was called and questioned. From his reply it appears that there is no lack of such pro- visions, and the following have been visiting the in- mates, with that object, viz. :—Revds. J. Puzh Evans, rector of Llangar; J. Prichard (1.). H. C. Williams (B.\ W. Pugh, and D. Hughes (C.M.). Th* Sanitary Board.-Captain Taylor called atten- tion to the condition of some of the parish church yards within the province of the Union. He believed that they were too full and ought to be closed. It was decided to call the attention of the medical authorities to the subject. The report of Air J. Wil- liams, the inspector of nuisances, was adopted. I DENBIGH. CHURCH SCHOOL CONCERT.-The annual concert in aid of the funds of the Denbigh Church Sunday Schools, took place in the Assembly Rooms on Friday, and was tolerably well attended. FALL OF A WALL.—On Wednesday week, a large piece ot wall which surrounds Dr. Pierce's stackyard at the bottom of Vale-street, fell into the road, carry- ing with it a quantity of hay. Fortunately no one was hurt. THE CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE.—A meeting of this Chamber was held on Wednesday week, our re- port of which meeting was crowded out last week. The business transacted was the election of several new members and listening to a speech by Captain Pennant upon local taxation. THE ELECTION.—Very little stir was apparent on Monday at the bye-eltction for the seat vacated by the I ex-AIavor on being made an alderman. Mr Lloyd had engaged not only his own house but the Cross Key, which is usually a Liberal committee room, so that the latter had to go across the square to the Crown Hotel. Quiet but effective work was done all day. Mr Thomas employed no vehicles but a few private traps were hired. The day was remarkable for the conspicuous absence of the gieat leader of the Conservative party, and had Air Lloyd succeeded it would bring the parties even in the council. The counting of votes commenced at half-past four and the result was declared at 535 by the Mayor, Mr J. Harrison Jones as follows :— ?Yan ThO!]i¡S. J, ID-* John Ll,,yl, li .it;(? i l\Ia.joriL;ï 89 Mr Evan Thomas who lost on the 1st by only four votes was now elected by 8!) having received 52 more votes than on that occasion, while Mr John Llnyrl received 28 less votes. The result was received with tremendous cheering and Mr Thomas was escorted home hy an enthusiastic crowd. Mr Thomas then addressed the crowd from the window. Mr John Lioyd did likewise, but he chose to say that the elector4 had "murdered themsel ves by electing the wrong man, and proceeded in a strain most unexpected and which the crowd resented by various signs of dis- pleasure. POLICB COURf, WEDNESDAY WEEK. Before Captain Wynne Griffith, Colonel Huuiberstone, P. II. Chanibres, Esq., and Major Alesham. -Rcilijits.-rstite Roberts and David Hughes, of Henllan-street, appeared to answer a charge of being in pursuit of conies on the Garn estate, on the 31st of October. They were each fined 10-i and costs or a term of imprisonment.—The defendant Isaac Roberts and David Roberts were subsequently brought, up be- fore the Mayor (Alderman E. T. Jones) and Mr Morris for a, similar offence at Gwaeiiynog. Tne ca :e aainst Dayid Roberts c )utd not be proved, but Is??c Robert.; was nned 10? and costs, and he an.l David Hughes in the previous case went to gaol.—At the close of the proceedings, the Mayor thanked Mr Parry J ones, the magistrates' clerk, for his kindness and the valuable assistance he had rendered to him during his two years of office. He also thanked Mr Superinten- dent Vaughan and the police constables for their readiness to assist him whenever he required their help. Mr Parry Jones and Mr Supt. Vaughan suit- ably replied to the Mayor's kind remarks. POLICE COURT, FRIDAY WEFI, Before the Mayor (Councillor J. Harrison Jones), the Ex- Mayor (Alderman E. T. Jones), Mr Thomas Evans, and Mr W.

Alderman Jones moved Hut it be allowed on payment f"r fire and gas. Alder- man WiMi?nt-! seconded the motion which w?- carried. :'n?? a re.?ohttion of January, 1875, was suspended during the Eisteddvod year, and that any damage be made good. New Standing Orders for the conduct of the business of the Couiicil, were red hy the Tow:, Clerk and adopted, and ordered to be printed, are! circulated among the members. The Medical O.i;¡,;I')' of Health reported that oaiy -t deaths and 7 births had taker, place during the month of Oct; this gave a death rate of 7.32 per 1000, and 7.82 birth rate. The u wi! Monthly a.id Qnurtci hj Meetings of the Council for the i-nsumg year were then fixed on the usual days. The Assembly lloma.—On the motion of Alderman .Tones, seconded by Councillor Wynne Edwards, it was agreed that candidates for seats at the Town Council should have the use of the Assembly Room if not previously engaged, free of cost except for gas and fire. The Boroujrh Surveyor reported that the work of widening Trosyparc road had proceeded satisfactorily and was now completed. The committee arranged to vie iv the work. He also reported upon the supply of water to Henllan, which occasioned a long discussijn, in the end of which Mr Copner Edwards proposed that a committee of five be formed to make the neces- sary enquiries as to the source of supply for Henllan, Mr R. H. Roberts seconded and carried. The Alayor, the Ex-Mayor, Mr Clough, Mr Roberts, Mr Foulkes, and Mr C'opner Edward were the committee. The surveyor also reported that he had flushed the drains from the lufirmary downwards with very great suc- cess, about two loads of gravel had come out of them and they had worked well since.—Upon this Air Caithness remarked that the great mistake was in l-g the surface water in at all.—It was ag"reed to ive the drains flushed once a month at a cost of about 8s per month. Some other matters of little interest came up, nc1 the Council rose early.

ELECTION MEETING. AIR. GEE AND THE REPORTER. MH. (mE AX]) THE JŒPOnTER A public meeting AT Evan Thomas's candidature was held in the assembly room on Satire- day right.

T. GEE. To that letter I received a reply from Air Winter, in which he states that he received the information from a reliable source, and that he had seen Air Wynne Edwards, jun., who had informed him that the in- formation was correct. I wrote also to Air Copner Wynne Edwards' son as follows i;EAR SIR.—I find a very mi-ISaduig par in the A orth WaleS Chronicle of this date and I wisli to inform you that I shall attend the meeting which is to be held this evening at the Assembly Room, and will explain what, took peice- between us on Wednesday night last, but I do net to refer even to this part of the question without giving you notice of my intention to do so. The general question be- tween your father and myself it is not my intention to ileal with, as it is far too important a matter f r a municipal election meeting. Besides, he has undeltaken to hold a meeting for the discussion of the question, and I hope it will he convenient for him to do so during next week. I am, &c., ?o?. T. ?. (Loud applause.) I am glad to see that both Mr Wynne Edwards, jun. and Mr Winter are here pre- sent. The general question which Mr Copner Ed- wards referred to at a meeting held in this room nine or ten days ago, when I was distinctly charged by him with doing what would be a disgrace to any mLLn, I will not refer to at present. I will leave that matter for another meeting, when Mr Copner Edwards will be present, and when I hope I shall be able to prove myself perfectly innocent of the base charges which have been made against me. (Applause,) I wiii now explain what this paragraph refers to. On Wednesday night last Mr Wynne Edwards, jun., and Air Lloyd, saddler, came to my house between nine and ten o'clock. They came together, and it appeared from the first blush of the conversation that it was a matter as to who had the right of this room to-night, whether our party or .theirs. Air Thomas Wynne Ed .vards said that he claimed the room, that Dr. Roberts had engaged it, and that he (Mr Edwards) had engaged the room also. And as Dr. Roberts had retired from the contest, he maintained his rights to the roo ii. Aly answer was that L had nothing whatever to do with the room, that I did not understand what he wanted with me about it, and advised him to go and settle that question with the person who had engaged it. During that conversation, however, he asked me whether I would like to settle the question in differ- ence between his father and myself that night (meaning to-night.) I replied that it was far too im- portant a matter to be discussed at a municipal election meeting, and that I expected his father would call a public meeting to discuss it, as he had promised to do, when we both would have plenty of time to enter into all the details. (Hear, hear.) Just before they went out, Mr Lloyd made this remark, Then you won't say anything about Air Copner Edwards at the meetin?" I said I would not, for the reason stated. Neither did I intend to do so, as I wante d a meeting for Air Copner Edwards and myself exclusively—(Cheers)—and this meeting I hope we shail have (cheers)—and I expect Air Wynne Edwards will tell us to-rdght when that meeting is to be. (Clieers.) If I am alive, Air Copner Wynne Edwards will find me here to defend myself, and in defending myself I hope to defend the Town Council, and prove we are all innocent of the very serious charges which he has laid against us. (Cheers.) The following morning I had some misgivings as to the in- tentions of the persons named, as I could not exactly understand why two should come to me about this room, and inadvertently allude to the question in dispute between the father of one of them and myself. It appeared to me, upon a re-consideration of the cir- cumstances that very probably some use would he made of the conversation to mislead the public. (Hear.) I went over to Air Lliyd's shop on the Thursday morning, but he was not in. I called a second time, when I found him at home, and asked him what object they had in coming to me the previous night. (Hear.) His reply was that they had heard that I was going to enter upon the question already referred to at this meeting, but, as I informed them I had no intention of the kind, they were satis- I fied. I then informed Mr Lloyd that I had come there to tell him that I hoped no improper use would be made d th'? conversation, by informing the public that I refund to meet Mr Copner Wynne Edwards. I also informed bi n that if I intended to deal with the question I would have written to inform Mr Ed>vards of my intention, so that he may be present. (Hear, ilia(le my state- ment, giving you all the important facts. If it is incorrect m any particular, as Mr Wynne Ed.vards, Air Lloyd, and Air Winter are her, they are at perfect liberty to statè- if I am wrong. (Ciners.) Air Wynne Edwards, jun., ascende i the plattorm and said: Air Chairman,—As far as I am aware Mr Gee has told you substantially what took place that night. (Hear, hear.) There was only Mr Lloyd and myself present. If I am responsible for this paragraph I am quite willing to bear the blame of being so, but what I maintain is that is a very fair epitome of what he has told you to-night. My father is now laid up with a very severe attack of the gout, but he wished me to tell ',tr Gee publicly to-night that as suo a as lie recovers he is ready to meet him. (Hear, hear.) Mr Gee then read the paragraph again and com- mented upon it. He maintained it was a paragraph written with an evi-lent intention to mislead the public, as i r. contained only a part of the truth. (Hear, hear.) Any person who read this paragraph would at once conclude that Mr Copner Wynne Edwards had informed him (Mr Gee) that he was prepared to meet him to-night but that he had refused. That would he the impression this paragraph appears intended to convey to any persois who reads it. (Hear, hear.) But Air Copner Wynne E Iwards had never written a line to him from the day he made the statement to this. (Hear, hear.) Air Conner E. I wards had never spoken one word to him from that day to tlii-iieitiier had he sent a message j by any one offering to discuss the drainage question <0 with him 1 Air Gaej to-mgiit; ana every man wHn; reads the paragraph in question in the North TVales Chronicle will believe a lie if he believes it in that | sense. (Tremendous cheering.) The question between Mr Copner Edwards and myself is one of cli ir-ic'er- his statement is a reflection upon my character, and an untruthful on ?. (He?' l?Lir.) Gentlemen, I h?v? lived in Denbigh before Mr Copner Edwards ever came here, and I have been connected with every movement of any importance which has taken place in the tow-n and I maintain that I deserve better treatm-nt at the hands of a reporter, or of that p r- -on, whoever he was, who gave him this information. (Cheers,) If he (Mr Winter) had the particulars I have given you to-niglit he ought to have reported it fnlly- (cheers)—bat if all the facts had not been stated plainly and faithfully to him, the person who gav« him the information is responsible. But whoever was the author he was guilty of doing me an injustice. (Applause.) Mr Gee hoped the promised meeting would be soon, and he trusted he would be able to s how the ratepayers generally that what Air Copn >r Edwards had stated respecting him was not true, (Cheers.) There was to he no parleying with this ques- i tior.—it mu be f< mght publicly before the electors of this borough who had a right to know how far the statements alluded to are correct. (Cheers.) Air G-. e then, in Welsh, commented seriously upon Air John Lloyd's conduct in promising to withdraw if thei'L- should be no other candidate in the ficLl beside Air Thomas, as he was fifth, on the poll Oil the 1st. Such being the case in consequence of Dr. Roberts' i withdrawal. Air Gee hoped Air Lhyd would commtl- nicfite the fact of his retirement to that meeting, as it would be far more creditable to him to do so than to proceed with the election. He then said politics ] were imported by the other party into their municipal contests. He was sorry for it, as politics had really nothing whatever to do with the government of the bo!ough. (Hear, hear.) But as the Conservative j party wer* working nam these lines, and had dons „,> during th- la-t few year' and evidently intended to do so, he would not complain, as these municipal con- j tests afforded excellent opportunities for the political enlightenment of the electors. (Hear, hear.) And as the Liberal party had nothing t) fear from the di. semination and ventilation of their principles, the re- suit would of necessity lie favorable at parliamentary elections. (Cheers.) The Tory party, if they tinned to fight their municipal contests upon political grounds, would find the Liberal paity prepared to meet them, and he ventured to hope that the result would be that the Tory party would very soon find out their mistake, and their repentance would come too late. (Cheers.) Mr Winter then ascended the platform and said I feel that Mr Gee has been rather hard upon me. I have been in Denbigh four years, and have en- deavoured at all times to give correct and faithful reports of all things, and in this case I stated all the facts with which I was made acquainted and I will insert in the papers next week what Air Gee says to- night. Allow me just to add that Mr Gee has compli- mented me several times upon the faithfulness of my reports, and when this public discussion takes place j I shall endeavour to report Mr Gee's remarks as- faith- fully as those of Air Copner Edwards. (Hear, hear.) A motion in favor of Mr Evan Thomas was then put and carried, and the meeting separated with thanks t" the cliairintii. HOPE AND CAERGWRLE. THE 'VOUK:\fES' HAT.L.A steady progress is j being made at this place, the number of members now amounting to nearly fifty, including the honorary members. Air J. 11.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.—On Tuesday week, the Hope Branch of the Church of England Temperance Society held its first winter meeting at the National School-room, Bridge End. There was a ],,trge at- tendance. The following ladies anu gentlemen con- tributed songs to a most enjoyable evening's entertain- ment The Alisses Swire, of Hope Alessrs. Shingler, Burston, and Probert, of Kinncrton; and Mr R. Ludlow, late Christy Minstrel of St. James Hall, London. An excellent address was afterwards given by Mr J. H. Spencer, hon. sec. of the Christ Church Branch Chester. HOLT AXD FAR N' DON. PRESENTATION OF A COMMUNION SERVICE.—I ne interior of the Presbyterian Church having lately un- dergone thorough renovadon, there was still one ad- ditional improvement felt necessary in order to com- plete the whole. The old communion service was thought by some unworthy the place and the solemn occasion for which it was required. However, Airs Towndrow, Dee Side, who is always ready with heart and hand to assist in every good work, was on the point of purchasing and presenting such a. service to the church, when it came to the knowledge of Mr Joseph A Layer F.S.A., Bebington, who, unsolicited, generously offered to make the presentation of a beau- tiful silver-plated service, designed by liimself, which of course was gratefully accepted. It consists of a. fhgon, chalice and (date, with suitable inscription en- graved on each, together with a maple case to keep the same. Mr Mayer is well-known to a large circle in and around Liverpool, Bebington, and the sur- rounding districts, as an eminent antiquarian, and a most generous gentleman. It was he who presented to Bebington a park, and a library consisting of some thousands of volumes, and Liverpool also with a museum and free library. The church at Holt feels grateful to him for his generous and timely gift. 1- HAWARDEN. THE PREMIER'S RETURN TO HAWARDEN.—lhe Premier and Airs Glad-tone arrived at Chester general station on Alonday evening from Downing-street, at 7.20. A large crowd cheered the Premier as he drove through Chester to Hawarden. Mr Gladstone was fol- lowed across the country in a hansom by Deputy Chief- Constable Adams, of the Flintshire constabulary, and a police-constable. LOCAL COUNTY COURT ACTION.—At the last Chester County Court an action was brought by Air Crawford, painter, of Bridge-street, to recover the sum of £1 from Mr Wm. Piercy, of Hawarden, money which had been placed in defendant's hands as a stake. Air Brassy appeared for plaintiff. The facts of the case were rather singular, and were briefly as follows. At a previous sitting of the Court a case Dutton v. Bernhardt was heard. Before that case came on for hearing a bet of 21 a side was made by Mr Crawford and Mr Bernhardt as to the result of the case, and the 22 was deposited with the present defendant, who was to hold the money and wait the issue of the case. Before the case was heard, however, Mr Crawford went to the defendant and asked his stake to be returned. Defendant was examined, and admitted that some time he was in the company of Mr Bernhardt and Mr Crawford, and heard the bet made. The terms were reduced to writing, and he (Piercy) was stakeholder, and before the bet was decided Ci-awford came and asked him to return his stake.— His Honor held that defendant ought to have paid back the. money when it was called for, and gave a verdict for plaintiff for El without costs. NORTHOP. CONCERT.—A concert was held at the Northop Penfcremoch Board Schools on Saturday, in aid of the funds of the Northop Hall Reading Room, which was very successful. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.—The following is the result of the School Board election Mr Jo:¡athm Astbury, :Nnrt'lop UJ- Mr Charles Davis n, Farfield Hall, Connih's Qua. 598 Mr Daniel Hughes, Rhoiesinor 5HS Mr James IJeney, Connah's Qua 5fI Mr Thos.

Webster, Esq Catherine Price, of Pentrebois, Minera, was brought up in custody of Acting-Sergeant Burton, charged with stealing several articles of wear- ills apparel, the property of Aliss 1\1. Jones, house- keeper to Mr Richard Mathews, Cloy, farmer, in the parish of Overton. Aliss Jones stated that oil the 7ch November she miised from her box the articles pro- duced, and gave information to the police. Prisoner had been in her employ a; general servant, and left on the 23th October last. Acting-Sergt. Burton said he proc?ed.?d to Pentrebois, saw prisoner at her fat er's home, charged prisoner with the offence, and recovered part of the property, viz., o?e lioen collar, one black lustre dNSS body, one c?Unr?-tto, a piec of crap, and three yards of ca)ico, which were identified by the prosecutrix. Witness apprehended prisoner, and brought her to Overton lock-up. She admitted the offence, and also two previous convictions for larceny. Committed to take her trial at the next Flint Quarter Sessions. RHOSLLA.NE?OHRU'30?. "RONf  BETHLEHEM INDEPENDENT CHAPEL. On Tuesday night, a literary meeting in connection with the Sunday School was held at the above P'ace of wor- ship. Th, Rev. R. Roberts presided, and a very ex- cellent programme was provided.

Tnt) president proved himself to be the right man in the right place." The success of the meeting speaks of the need of such gatherings in thi-J populous neighbourhood, aid we understand that the meetings will be held annually in future. RUTHIN. J D^ATH OF RRV. JAES JONES.—We have to record the death of the Rev. James Jones, rector of Llan- fwrog, which took place on Friday night, at an advanced age. Mr Jones had held this living, which is worth about £ 500, and is i:i the gift of the Lord Chancellor, since 1851. Wor-. lp the THE MAYOR AT CHURCH.—His Worship the Alayor (Air Edward Roberts), invited the Corporation to meet him at the Town Hall and go to church 0.1 Stiti- day last according to custom. Trie old corporation plate was brought out and the loving cup, cake, &c., handed round and the procession was formed as follows The Town Police, The Fire Birgade, The Council Ofifcers. The Alayor and ex-Mayor, The Aldermen, The Town Councillors, The Public, They thus proceeded to church, where they were received by the Verger an shown into the u-iliai seats Tile service was full choral with an anthem Blessed is the man," Mr it. Lloyd, choirmaster, taking the alto soli), Air Ala 11 ix the tenor, and Mr B dton the bass. A suitable sermon was preached by the Rn\ Daniel Hughes from th j words "He beareth not the rod in vain." After service the procession returned to the Town Hall, and after thanks from the May -r, dispersed. Air Roberts is the GOOth Ma .or ;,f this ancient borough which was chartered ill 1282 in the year 1638 tne present corporation plate, consisting of loving cups, claret cups, w is presented to the borough by Bishop Goodman, of (jriouce-^er.

Sarchaeje.—In reference to the auditor's surcharge of two sums for expenses of the Chairman and Mr Brooke Cunliffe tn a poor law conference in London, the Local Government Board wrote saving that as the conference was not an authorised "body the auditor did quitrt light, bnt that in the exercise of that "equitable jurisdiction conferred upon them by the 11 and 12 Vic., chap. 91, sec. 4." they wouiil under 1 the circumstances remit the surcharge, and they e;ic'o --ed a cei-tiiicatc to that effect, in accordance! with :2' ami 30 Vie., chap. 113, stc. 5." The Plans fur Vagrants.—On this subject th?ra was a very long c immunicatien from the architect of the Local Government Board shovvin ? faults in the pro- pos-d work an requiring that there should be hot Witter pipes and many other improvements, until the Board thought that if they were carried our, the vagrant cells would ba much more comfortable than any voov man's coit.a- and tag little work done would never pay for one accommodation aff >rdsd. The Guaivians, therefore, by common con-e.it. laid their plans aside and abandoned tiie project.

THE reports of the inspecting officers for the present year s how a decided improvement in the attendance at the annual training of the Veomaurv Cavalry, and in most cases a marked improvement in the drill, especially in shooting. The strength of the thirty- nine regiments of Yeomanry is 14,458 of all ranks. The Northern district supplies seventeen, of which the Cheshire stands first. The Denbighshire Hussars the Ciiesliire stan l s first. ?" come next, and here, again, there is evidence of healthy condition, Lieut.-Col. Leyland's four-troop regiment being as well off for ofifcers as it apparently is for men. The Alontgomeryshire regiment (Lieut.- Col. Sir W. G. Williams) is not well off for officers, there being vacancies on the establishment for one captain and five lieutenants. The Shropshire, six troops (Lieut.-Col. R Lloyd), has its full comple- ment.
