G. Office, Liver- pool, 17th October, 1872. Sir,—I have the honour to acquaint ycu that with reference to my lat-i inspection of No. 2 and 4 companies of the battalion under your com- mand, the former presented a good appearance on parade and drilled fairly. Tin latter, although a frood body of men, being mosllv recruits, were not very efficient. I re- gret that so few members now belong to the corps, and that the volunteer movement is so badly supported in Montgomeryshire.—I have the honour to be, sir. your most obedient servant (signed), J. C. JONES', Colonel A. A. G. lf-t Sub-district. Major Harrison Commanding Montgomery Rifle Volunteers, Welshpool." MATTERS MUNICIPAL.—IJp to Tuesday, October 20th, no fresh addressts had been issued, and Mr E. M. Jones having retitej, the contest for the four seats at the Couucil will be fought out between the Mayor, Mr G. W. Evans, and Mr John Morris, the retiring councillors, and Mr John Hickman, Mr Ellis Jones, Mr B. Lay, and Mr William Thomas. Mr John Morris has seceded from the coalition, and presents himself as an independent candidate, and Mr William Thomas announces himself as the working man's candidate. Politics have apparently no share in the contest, for it appea's to have become a mere p r- sonal matter. A vigorous canvass- has been. prosecuted 011 all sides, and the friends and supporters of the re- spective candidates are putting forth every eff,)rt to ensure the success of their man. The Mayor being one of the candidates, Mr Alderman Hovveil will act as returning officer. The Town Hall will be the only polling place, the voters for the Upper and Lower Division of Pool polling in the Grand jury room the middle division in the assize court; and thoi,, from Guilsfield, Hope, Castle-Caereinion, Trewern, Cle"terwood. and Biithdir, in the Council Chamber. The election of Mayor will, of course, depend in a great degree upon the result of the contest, but rumour is busy with the names of Mr W. T. Parker, Mr D. P. Owen, Mr Rowland, Mr Mytton, and Alderman E. T. D Harrison, ail persons likely to fill the chair to be vacated by Mr Thos. Morris, who has ably discharged the duties of office for two years. Mr W. T. Parker, who gracefully gave- way last year to Mr Morris, is entitled to the honour. TOWN COUNCIL, TCESDAY, OCT. 29tH.—Present: Thomas Morris, Esq., Mayor, Aldermen \V. Withv, E. T. D. Harrison Councillors J. Morris, D. P. Owen, E. Jehu. W. T. Parker, W. E. Rider, W. Rogers, J. Jones; Mr E. Jones, Town Clerk; Mr Clayton, Inspector. The Filter Beds —The Town Clerk stated that he had received a letter from Mr Dymond saying he would come over in the course of the week, and inspect the filter beds pii r to their being accepted by the Board.

Owen, the Town Clerk said there was still a balance of about £ 100 due to Mr Fisher for the works at the Black Pool. EXPLAINING THE VOTE BY BALLOT.. Welshpool is known to be a lively place when a municipal contest is pending, and this year is no exception to the gener vl rule. The mysteries of the ballot have been too much for some of the inhabitants, and, after a good deal of hesitation, the Mayor, Mr Thomas Morris, complied with a requisition to allow the use of the Town Hall, on Friday, October 25th, for the purpose of showing and explaining the mode of voting by ballot," and to give the ratepayers an opportunity of expressing their opinions." The hour fixed fo.' the "showing and explaining" was seven o'clock, and a screen, a table, and a ballot box were all in readiness, so that the process of secret voting could be gone through on the shortest notice, in the most public manner possible. The public scented a good joke, and mustered in large force, but the gentlemen who were anxious to instruct the "ignorant working man" were deeply in earnest, and added considerably to the fun by the serious way in which they looked at each other. At seven o'clock the Mayor, who presided, said, "Pull the bell, Joe," and Joe pulled the bell accordingly. When Mr B. Lay, who is a can- didate, entered the room, h3 was greeted with a round of cheers and peals of hearty laughter, in which the aspirant for municipal honours benignly joined. The Towx -CiaRK. read the following r(quisit-oii :— To the- Worshipful the Mayor of We!shpooL We, the -andergigne-e, ratepayers of the Borough of Welshpool,. respectively request your worship to-call a public meeting in the Town Hal!, on Friday evening next, October 25th, 18T2, for the -purpose of showing and ex- plaining the mode of voting by ballot at the ensuing election, and to give the ratepayers an opportunity of ex-, pressing their opinions.

"In accordance with the above requisition, I call a general public meeting of the ratepayers of th's borough, on Friday evening next, at seven o clocV, to taike .place in the Assize Court, at the Town Hall- (Signed) THOMAS MOBBIS, May-or. Weishpool, October 22nd, 1872." The MADB. said he had been asked t) allow the use. of the Town Hall for the purpose of having the mode of voting by ballot explained. No resolution hall been plaaed in his hands, and he was quite in the dark as to what was going to be done, and who was going to io it. All he could do was to call upon Mr Ellis Jones, who would per- haps enlighten the meeting. Mr ELLIS- JOSHS said he believed the ITown Clerk was the gentleman who would have to do something a'jv the election,, and perhaps he would explain, the Act. (4lh plauser), The MAYOR suid it was very wroDg to think that Any, lawyer waj going to come there and giva them ia#r«Jor noUÜng. (Laughter.) He (the Mayok), had askad the, Town Clerk to come to the meeting to. read thesequisi- tion; and haviing done that, he had performed the only duty, that devolved upon him on that ocaasion. (Applause.) At the proper time the requisite information would be given as to. the working of the ballot, aud that information would, be- given ia the most public way. Mr Abraham Howell was. the returning officer, who had everything to do with, the election, and he (the Mayor) could assure that meeting that it was quite impossible to do. anything that was not quite straightforward under the Ballot Act. (Loud applause.) Mr ELLIS JONES said the Ballot Act was perfectly new, and be would have no objection to. showing those assem- bled how to vote. (Loud laughter.) Be lw1 a screen and a desk and a ballot box near at, hand, so. that he could show the working men in a few minutes how to vote. (Roars- of laughter.) The MAYOR said if they thought Mr Ellis. Jones was.the right man to work the ballot, he had nothing to say but for his (the Mayor's) part, he did not thir-k.,tbat Mr Ellia Jones was the right man to do. anything of the soite tAp- plaiue.) A VOICE-You want to work it yourself. (Uproar.) Mr JOHN JONES—Mr Mayor, I hope I am never can- tank-er-ous. [This remark threw the meeting into eonvul- sions, and Mr John Jones-and the May of, earned,on an excited conversation for some time.] You oughi k:tokeep order, Mr Mayor. It i& an, .insult ta you, Ms Mayor, and The MAYOR—I don't feel insulted. I simply feel dis- gusted that this meeting has been called. VWi),, have all been made fools of, and we shall be iA Punph next week. (Loud laughter.) „ Mr JONES—Well, Mr Mayor, we might he m.^ 'w^rse place than Punch, (daughter.) It will not be the first time that Mr PuweA haa had his. hands upon u^. Mr Mayor. (Renewed laughter.) The. corporation of this town is notorious, I believe, and has been for years. (Cheers.) A VOICE-What ish Mushter Shpnesshaying dLDIwn there. (Peals of laughtej.) Mr JONES—Mr Mayor, I— A VOICE— What has become of the CoBgpratio» property J (Applause.) The MAYOR, said he thought the Attorney-Gteneral would have been brought down fsom Londoa. to explain the Act, have been brought down from Londoa. to explain the Act, or, at least the Returning Officer from Preston, but he was disgusted to find that that meeting had ever been called. Mr ELLIS JONES—Shall I explain the Act. 1 have a screen ar.dr-(The rest was lost in, the. laughter of the large audience, the room being quite full.) A conversation here ensued,, carried on from different parts cf the room-t)ie Mayor's, voice being heard above the rest, giving expression to his infinite disgust at the whole transaction, and recterating his belief that they would be the laughing stock of the country, and would most certainly figare. in Punch next week. A VoicE-Mr Mayor- Mr JOHN JONES—Is there nobody here to keep order ? The Voice -Mr Mayor— The MAYOR then put it to the meeting whether Mr lalis Jones should go through a. performance with his screen and table and ballot box, and eleven hands were held up in favour nf it and a large number against the exhibition. Mr WHITEHALL, (in a comparative lull) sa'd tb%t that meeting reminded him Of whistling jigs to milestones, and they don't dance." (Laughter.) He would ask the Mayor if there would not be proper accommodation for the carrying out of the ballot. The MAYOR said there would, of course, be every accom- modation. He was extremely sorry that that meeting had bJoen held, but Mr Ellis Jones had asked him for the Town JJall, and at first be had hesitated unti he bad conferred with other". Ultimately he thought it would be better to let them have the hall, for there was no knowing what would have been Baid if it had bjea, refused. Nobody tad come f v trard to explain the Ballot Act, and, he tAo meeting to be broken tik (Roars q^ qh<?$i £ °) The company then retired iota the streets, and stood in knoti discussing the proceedings, and strangely enotigh, not a few of the men seemed to think that they WotM1 have learnt something if Mr Ellis Jones had been allowed by the meeting to go through a mock ballot.

Dnmville Lees, and "Sticcfos to the Tanat side harriers," a toas which evoked crtiisid'er- able enthusiasm. Mr Richard B.iugh, in proposing it, paid he hoped the agriculturists of the district would do their best to support Mr Lee^ib his efforts to show sport. When it was remembered that he hunted the country entirely at his own expense, it was not too much to rspect in return that a few hare? should be kept for hilYJ. (Applause.)

LLANIDLOES. THE FAIR.—At the fair on Saturday, Oct. 26th, there was a good att-n' ance of buyers, but much lower prices weie taken f.)r sheep, p*rs, and horses. Cattle sold well. SALB; OF Misixo PittIPEIITY.-It is announced that the Brynpostig mine, which i situated within a few mil s of Llanidloes, will be sold in London in 2fovember next, '1 he mine has not been worked for srime time on accounL. of 'he great, influx of water but it is said to be a valuable pro- perty. TUB Municipal ELECTION.—There 13 every appearance of a contest in this election. The funr councillors who retire, and are eligible for re-election, are Messts J. Brown, li. Mills, \V, Thomas, and E. Davies. The follavv- 1Il four new candidates are also in the field -1VIsrs G. R. Greenhow, E Rees, E. BoweD, and S, Iiirgs. Of lit-er Mr Kees ha3 before sat in the council; the rest have not.

Mr Greenliow is the proprietor of the chief hole] in the town. TIm FLANNEL, TRADE.—Thi-; trade is reported to be in a very depressed s.ate at present, more so than has been experienced for ne.irlv half a c-:iittiry. Orders are few, and warehouses which should be empty arc full. Large nimb- rs of lands have been dismissed, and in S')In' factories they are working five 1.,tyi, incl the masters in- tend to reduce them to four. Fortunately the Van and •other smaller mines are looking well, or it would be a serious time at Llanidloes. As it is, hundreds of miners and others have emigrated to South Wales.

TliEGYN ON. SCHOOL EX AMIXATIOST.—This school was examined on Friday, Oct. 25th, by the Rev. R. Temple, with a favour- able result.

NEWTOWN. FLANNEL MARKET.—There was rather more business done at this market on Thursday, Oc..24th. MONTHLY FAIR.—At the fair on Monday, O fr. 21st, there were large nnmbers of sheep and pigs, but very few buyers and scarcely any demand. MR TltACY AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—In comjl'iiace with the request of the ratepayers, made at a public meet- ing on Monday evening, October 21st, the Hon. Cha-rles Hanbury Tracy has signified his intention1 of addressing his constituent's at the Public Rooms, Newtown, on Thurs- day, November 21st, at six p.m. ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE LOCAL BOARD. — A meeting of the Board was held on Friday night, for the purpose of considering the report of the committee JI pointed to consider the advisability of altering the monthly fairs of Newtown, in order to avoid their clashing with other fairs in the neighbourhood. The following persona were present: —Messrs C. Morgan, R. Lloyd, jun., E. Morgan, R. Goodwin, J. Hall, E. Powell, T. Rowlands Mr W. Cook-, Clerk. The committee recommended that :h," fairs be altered from the last Monday and Tuesday to the first Monday and Tuesday in each month. A long discussion followed the reading of the report. Several members were against any alteration, and after various opinions had been expressed, the matter ended in the com- mittee withdrawing their report, a proceeding, however, which Mr John Hall expressed his disapproval of. NEWTOWN AM) LLANIDLOES BOARD OF GUARDIANS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEB 23RD.—Present The Rev. J. Evans, Chairman Messrs C Morgan, Vice- Chairman T. W. Hare, J. P. Davief, the Hon. C. H. Tracy, M P., Captain O. M. Crewe-Read, R.N., ex- oftieio. Messrs R. Lloyd, sen., T. Benbow, the Rev. J. B. Price, R. Lloyd, jun., W. Fortune, R. Morgan, T. Pryce, E. Edwards, L). ffaraer, T. Evans, the Rev. E. Jones, E. Jones, J. B. Owen, jun., R. Edwards Mr Smith. Clerk. The Use of Australian Meat.—The Clerk having read the minute of the last Board with respect to the use of Australian beef by the paupers, Mr Richard Morgan enquired if the original minute with reference to the use of this food had been entered on the minute book.—Mr Smith said that it had, and referred to the minute in question.—Mr Richard Lloyd wished to know was it competent for four or five Guardians to undo, without notice, what had been done by a meeting at which twenty-five were present. The Chair- man s ii,l that notice should have been given, but under the circumstances he was of the opinion that it was irregular from the first, but thought it would be better to overlook a point of order.—Mr Richard Morgan sai,l that the reason why he asked the question was, he had been informed that the master had'purchased a week's supply, and that the pallners refused to eat it.—Mr Breese, the master, was called in, and said that he had bought a week's supply—twenty-four canisters—and hul tried it. Some of the inmates objected to it, because it did not agree with them. He had tried it cold and warm, and in the ahapp. of soup. The quantity bought was beef and mutton, half and half.-Th", Chairman said that the notice that Anstralian beef would be introduced should have been introduced in the advertisement but under the circumstances he thought that it v.oa'd be better to acquiesce in the arrangement entered into with the butcher, and take tho proper method for the future.— This course was agreed to.- A letter was read from Mr Mynard. Governor of the County Gaol, Montgomery, re- porting most favourably on the results which had attended the use of the tin meat in the prison, where they had used no fresh meat for the last twelve months. Industrial Training.-The Vice-Chairman enquired of the master as to what was-the course of indtwtrial training of the children in the Workhouse.-In, answer, the mast r said that the boys were five hours a day in school, and when required to dig they were taken out for the purpose, but that there was no regular system- When they were taken out they were under the control of the labour-master and the schoolmaster. The-girls, in addition to schooling, were taught sewing and knittinsr but the latter were taught in the school hours.—The Vice-Chairman said this was°a mest important subject, and proposed that a com- mittee ba appointed for the purpose of considering and de- vising a system of industrial' training for the children brought up in the workhouse, and that the committee con- sist of Mesers J- Pryce Davies, T. W. Hare, R. Llovd, and Richard Morgan. —The Chairman said it wa3 usual to appoint five on all such committees, and suggested that the name of the Vice-Chairman should be added.—Mr J. P. Davies seconded the motion, which was carried nem. con.

Verv few foreign beasts have been on sa. and the- quality beimr indifferent, they kave cnangea imuus "regular nuotations. From ow own grazing districts, # however, a fair number ha^-qome to hand, and the quality has been tolerably good. The depression in the dead meat market and the unfavourable weather for killiag have combined to produce heaviness* and business in consequent has been much restricted, but prices have beeii,.without change, the best Scots atid crosses making 5s 6<J to 5s 8d per 8 lbs. [From Leicestershire, we have receSyad1 about 1,200; fiotn Norfolk 3&$Lincolnshire, 69; from,other, parts of England, about 500 > from Scotland, 24 and from Ireland, 400 cows and 138 fat stock. There has been only a moderate supply of sheep in, the pens; nevertheless. the demand has been inactive at Monday's decline. For the- best Downs and half-brads 6s 6d to 63 8d per 8 lbs has. been paid. Calv^i have changed hands quietly at about late rates. Pigs have been unaltered. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—There was an increa33 in the number of beasts on ofier over last Tuesday; the gen- eral condition useful. The beef trade was steady, at about late quotations. Sheep were a fair time-of-year supply; trade for choice qualities fair. Inferior heavy sheep-, were neglected; late rates realked. Fat pigs a fair supptv; about 1,100 fresh up; trade, steady.—Quotations: iteef, 7d to 81d per lb mutton, 7d to 10|d per lb bacon plg 9s W to 10s Od per soore y porket ditto, 10s Od to 108 6d per score. SALFORD TUE.SDAY. --There was a VÛlIY large show of beasts at masket to-day, with a steady. demand, at little if any change from last week. No foreign blasts on offer. The nuia-ber of sheep was considerably less than last week, but more than sufficient for the \vaats of butchers, and a languid tone prevailed. Late prices were demanded for choice wethers, but inferior descriptions, which formed the bulk in the market, had a drooping tendency. Veal calves were scarce, and there was a brisk trade, though no ouotable change in price. -Quotations Beasts, 6d to Sid per lb; sheep, 71<1 to 9Jd; calves, Sid to lOcI per lb. MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland ware 3,041 firkins butter and 3, £ 78 bales bacon, and from foreign ports 22,018 packages butter and 1,245 bales haon. The Irish butter market ruled very slow, influenced by thp mtid wet weather, and prices generally were lftwer. Dutoh declined 4s tp Qd, and Jerseys 6a to 8a pet cwt. Baoon was a IDOW trade, apd W^tei^ojd ^eclifled 2a, ^iipfric^ 4a; RBd Hamburg 3p. Jfpc <y^ LIVERPOOL PROVISION, WFDN — BeWf ifi slow of sale, at 3Jj to 112s Gel per tierce^ being la!sfr week's quotations. Pork is quiet, and without change in price: Bacon moves firmly, at 32s to 42s per cyrt. Hams are dull, and can be bought for rather less money, to day's rates being 44s to 50s per cwt. Fine butter is 2s 6d lower; and sells slowly. Cheesre is fiat, at oOa to 64s per cwt. LONDON POTATO, MOUDAT.—The trade in the best" English potatoes is less active, the high prices demanded checking opt rations. Other descriptions, however, ar^ purchased steadily, while foreign, the arrival of which was large, sold rather freely at fully previous quotations. WORCESTER HOP, SATUIVDAT.—Messrs Piercy, Longbo-ttom, and Faram's circular says—" At our market to-day the attendance was not large, and as planters are cleared out, buyers have to rely enrelJ On the small stocks held by merchants. All classes of the growth are mj £ ctive demand, and prices continue to be in sellers' favorr'' 172 P0CL, P^ssd the acale3 thi3 week, making up the total to 8,273 poc3#ets." LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—An active demand con- tinues to charact-erise onr market, and lasge qusK>titie3 of hops have changed hands at extremely fir1 rates, the finer and choicer sort5 a.t more money. Buyers are now begin- ning to recognise </hat stocks are shrinking iilto a much smaller compass, a^d' that the largest quantity of best hops has been secured consequently the demaad' has been j extremely active for this description, and fancy rates have been paid for choice parcels; the brown and msdium sorts have also passed off in large quantities, and the tone of the rwarket is altogether very tic in.

Scarcely half work is being done at the mills and forger, and the production at the blast furnaces is in extess of tfee requireme-nts of the trade hence-a considerable reduction in the out-put is in eontem- p,lktion. This state of things is-entirely due to the prices that tle-ireemaste-rs ace-now demanding. They decline to give way in any considerable degree; and the consumers "re equally resolved to hold back their orders till they can 'get good, finished iron at quite. £ 2 nnrJe? present quotations.. ',How Ion- will be the/time tiSit will elapse before sucfe a reduction is brought about remains to be seen. The mas- itent say they cannot make saoh a chancre whilst the wages are as now. If this beso, then, there will be no alteration .till Christmas; but oonsutmeis point out that the second and third-class meD. have to pay the same scale of wages, and yet they have brought down their prices in a larger {proportion than have the first-class producers. Anyhow, jtho present wages scale is Based at the mills and forges till :the- close of this year. A very important phase future scale of wages was 'dtasussed on 'Change this afternoon. It was remarked tfliat at the meeting of the ironworkers at Wednesbupy, on I M'onda.y, the men were led to believe that after Christmas, ana throughout the first sis. months of next year, pudcllers" wages would be 2f. a ton more than now, and millmen's vowes 20 per cent-higher than at present, notwithstanding that at this date wages were never at any fornmer period S3 high. The iron nr alters explain that the arrangement now existing applies only, to* the end of this year, and that at that time the experiment now being made may altogether cease, and a. Rewbasis of agreement become to. They explain that-, with a falling market before them, it would be utterly impossible for the works to. be carried: on, and any such wages be paid ta the men at that; meeting were. led to expect. The masters are anxious, that this should at once be understood by,. the men, that they may, not be deluded by prespects that-. are unreal; further, that all past arguments have. been made upon the long-weight basis, and that if short weight is henceforth to be tile- rule, then that, whatever may be the scale of wages adopted, one-fourteenth reduction willJ have to take place in the remuneration. The masters deny that the men are being defrauded of the difference between long and short weight any more than pig-makers are being- defrauded, who. sell by long weight. Whenever pigs. aM bought short weight, then the same rule prevails as to the money paid fer the. iron, in comparison with the money paid for the long-weight iron, as must, they say, prevail, in weight °f WageS" if the meD insisfc uPcn beiBg paid, short
