TRADE INTELLIGENCE. WOLVERHAMPTON IRON TRADE.-WEDM^I. There was a dull market, with an apprehensive feeling about the threatened advance in coal. Quotations were strong for all but Cleveland pig. Coal and best sheet-iron are in diminished supply through the floods. Ironworkers and colliers are still working irregularly. Puddlers thrown out in the North are arriving here, but will not settle down. Certain light cast-iron goods have been reduced 6d to 2s per cwt. Furnace coals are strong at 11a per ton, being 7s 6d under the maximum in 1872. THE CROPS AYD THE CORN TRADE. The Mark-Lane Express says :-It seems very probable that ne shall be driven to the necessity of freely using the qualities of spring growth, from the present unfitness of the land. Nothing could have been worse for the condition of samples, and the abundance of old foreign wheat seems our chief security for wholesome bread. The more we kuow of this year's crop the less satisfaction does it give, and a general advance of Is has been common. Imports are, indeed, likely to abate, unless we make better prices, and the approach of winter will reduce those from northern ports. Should, however, monetary pressure tell at Odessa, we may get more than we expected, as the Principalities are well off for wheat and maize. Londoa as yet gets a small share of home growth, which needs help from foreign stores. The last weekly sales were 53,551 quarters wheat, against 56,118 in 1874, and both dealers and factors com- plain of the lightness of supplies. In New York fluctua- tions occur, but the yield is 21 per cent below an average. The probability is that as we dip into the season we shall get dearer.

FLINTSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These sessions were held in tha county hall, Mold, on Tuesday, October 19, Mr J. Scott Bankcs presiding. Th e other magistrates present were Colonel Cooke, Captain Pennant, Captain Griffith-Boscawen, Messrs T. G. Dixon, W.H. Buddic -,mb, M. Frost, R. Frost,Chester, and E. Bate. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a county rate of 12-81 in the pound to produce £1,684 18s 3d, and a police rate of i.-1, to produce J3505 9s 3d, were resolved upon. On the motion of Captain PESNANT, it was resolved that in future the court would not publish nor vote the sum it was prepared to expend on a building until the tenders had been received, as it had been found that the contractor invariably sent in a tender which was higher than the sum fixed.-The Chairman objected to the resolu- tion, but withdrew his opposition, as the feeling was against him. The Chief Constable reported that a decrease of indict- able crimes had taken pace-37 offences having been re- ported during the year as against 4G in 1874, and 27 per- sons had been committed as against 31 in 1874. There was an increase in cases disposed of summarily, 2,028 persons having been proceeded against,as against 1,918 in 1874; the convictions had been 1,264 as against 1,481, and the drunken cases 856 as against 802.. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court to the escape of Joseph Ellis and John Brown—the latter a private of the22nd foot—from the county gaol on the 18th instant. The escape was effected in a most clever manner, and two of the visiting justices had declared their opinion that no blame was attached to the governor and officials. The Chairman was sorry to differ from that opinion, for, contrary to the rules of the prison, the prisoners had been allowed to communicate with each other. At the same time he was sorry to arrive at that conclusion, as the governor was a valuable and energetic servant of the county. He suggested that the Gaol Committee should be empowered to order the necessary repairs for making the prison safer, which was agreed to. The trial of prisoners was held on Wednesday, when Messrs J. Scott Bankes, P. P. Pennant, C. B. Clough, W. Johnson, Capt. Philips, W. H. Buddicom, and E. Pember- ton, were present. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the grand jury, was glad to say that, notwithstanding the increase of crime, there was no increase of county rates, but rather the contrary, for the burden of the rates lay easier now on the general body of the ratepayers, because of the increase in the value of rate- able property consequent on the the rating of mines, woods, and game. He hoped that ere long gentlemen of the class of the grand jury would be appointed to assist the magistrates in the management of the finances of the county. The greater part of the day was occupied in the trial of a young lad, aged 18, named Richard Marriott, indicted for detaining a quantity of letters during the months of June and July. There were 76 in all found then, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The defence appeared to be partly that the letters had been repeatedly givbn to the prisoner to deliver, and that he could not find the parties. On the other hand, letters wert. upon him addressed to Superinten- dent Hughes, police office, Holywell, and others equally well known. The jury found prisoner guilty, but with a recommendation to mercy. He was sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Sarah Jones, aged 20, pleaded guilty to jthe exposing of her newly born infant in an ash pit at Worthenbury on the 24th June last, through which the infant died. The pri- soner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. John Edwards, for stealing a quantity of clothing at Greenfield, Holywell, was sentenced to niae months' im- prisonment. Abraham Jones was convicted for stealing pikels, &c., from Plas Yw, on the 15th July last. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty and the prisoner was discharged.

A DARING ROBBERY AT WREXHAM. Harriet Powell and John Foulkes were brought up on remand at the Wrexham petty sessions on Monday, charged with stealing a watch. Mr Bury appeared for the proseeution,and Mr Sherratt for Foulkes.- "homis Cafferty said that on Thursday night at nine o'clock he saw the two prisoners near Kean's pawn shop. Mr Keaa was lying down on the ground in front of the nawn shop. He was drunk. Saw the prisoner Foulkes take a key out of Mr Kean's pocket. He then opened the door of the house, lifted Mr Kean up and pushed him in. He then put his hand upon Harriet Powell's shoulder, and she went in after Mr Kean. He then pulled the door to, and walked up and down the Vicarage Hill till Harriet Powell came out. She was in about a quarter of an hour. While she was in he (witness) heard some money rattling. Sombody came to the door, and the prisoner Foulkes said to him (witness) if he did not go away he would kick his guts out. Witness said he was waiting there to see Mr Kean's niece. Foulkes then said Do you know what I want here ?" Witness said he did not. Foulkes then said I want two bundles out of pawn." This took place by the house door the pawn shop door is higher up the hill. Witness said that the pawn shop had been closed since seven o'clock. Foulkes then again threatened to kick his guts out if he were not off. Witness went to look for Miss Kean, Mr Kean's niece. Met her by the Horns Inn. She came with him, and tried to get into her uncle's house, but the door was fast. She then went through the next house to get at the back door of her uncle's house. —Rosannah ikean said that on Thursday night she met Thomas Cafferty, and in consequence of something he told her she ran home. She could not open the dnor, nor get anyone to hear her. It fastened by a snap latch, and bar uncle had the key. She saw the key with him at three o clock that afternoon. She thee went through the next house to the back, and got into the house through the window. Found the female prisoner there standing by a table. Asked her wh-it she wanted ? She said nothing. She said she could not get out. Openedthe front door to loose her out, and she went. Someone tried to stop her in the lobbv. Mrs Hickey tried to stop her. She fought her way out, and'she called "Jack," when she got outside the door. The male prisoner then came up, and threatened anyone who should interfere with the female prisoner. Went to give information to the police, and found a police officer at the door. Went into the kitchen and found her uncle sitting in a chair, and his pockets turned inside out, Ilis watch had gone, and the chain was hanging down. Saw her uncle last before that about 4 o ciock that afternoon He left the shop at that hour with £ 10 in gold in his pocket. He had no money in his pocket .when she found him. Found the keys of the safe in another pocket.—Ann Hiekey, charwoman, said: As soon a, the door was opened she rushed ;n and the prisoner Harriet Powel, caught her by tko hair. Tried to keep her in the house, and the prisoner hit her on the head with a key that she had in her hand. The prisoner called for Johnny, and then the male prisoner rushed up, and there was another man outside who came up and help3d to get the female prisoner away. A police officer then came up.-Elizabcth Cook said she was in the Mitre public house on Thursday night. The female prisoner came in and pushed a key along the counter towards her (witness; and said, "Keep this key till morning anJ I will come for it." she refused to take the key whereupon the pri- soner took it up again. A police officer then came in.- P.C. Griffith Jones found the pi isoners by the Mitre door. He told them they must come with him to the police station, and Foulkes said, •' All right, my lad, I'll come." lie then kd to be allowed to go down the Mitre yard for a certain purpose. Like a young officer, he allowed him to go, and he saw him go by the closet where there was a midden. He caine back, and both prisoners came with him to the police station.—Sergeant Lindsay said that he was present at the police station when the prisoners were brought there. They were searched, but nothing was found upon them. He then went in company with Inspector Wilde and 1' Hugu tones to the Mitre. Got lights and weut to a privy in the yard, and in tho ashpit they found t'ie watch, which ho proiluced. it was wrapped up in some snenr. hops.— Edward Evans produced a key, which he found in Vicarage Ilill on Friday morning.James Kean was next called. He said he had occasion to go out last Thursday afternoon. Took with him the key now produced, and he had his watch with him, and something over £ 10 in gold. Ulifortnnately he felt very poorly ard wont and got some whiskey. Had no recollection at all of what he spent. Kemembered nothing till he found himself next. mon ing in bed. The watch produced was hij, which he had with him when he set out that afternoon. His money was all gone.-Tlie prisoners were committed to take their trials at the next quarter sessions.

f UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES. JElns CBESCEXT.— On last Sunday evening a collection was made at Je.vin Crescent Chapel. London, in aid of the Temporary Sustentation Fund of this College, when !he sum of 28 17s was contributed. THE SCIENCE CHAIR.—The sum of money given towards the endowment of the natural science chair, for which Lord Aberdare, Mr Henry Pamali, Mr D. Davies, M.P., and Mr Stephen Evans were appointed trustees &t cne recent meeting of the Council, was X2,500, and not £2,000 as stated in our last issue. The generous donar was already a large contributor to the funds of the College. LIVERPOOL.—Great interest is now taken in this valuable institution. A special appeal has been made to Welshmen throughout the world to give it their support, and we are glad to find that Liverpool will not be behind hand. A national concert, under the patronage of the Duke of Westminster, Viscount Sandon, M.P., Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, M.P., William liathbone, Esq., M.P., John Torr, E-q., M.P., and others, is to be given in St. George's Hall on the 10th November in aid of the University College of Wales. We understand that tickets have already been secured by some of the most influential gentlemen in town. The concert is likely to prove very successful, and no doubt the great Welsh soprano, Miss Edith Wynn, will have a grand re- ception on her last appearance before her marriage. -Liver- pool Mercurh. MR S. EVANS ON THE OCTOBER COLLECTIONS. On Monday evening, October 24, the Welsh Baptists of Lon- don held a tea and public meeting at their chapel in Moor- fields, the event partaking of a valedictory character on account of the approaching departure of the Rev. H. Harris, the pastor. In the unavoidable absence of Mr Hugh Owen the chair was occupied by Mr Stephen Evans. The pro- gramme included songs by Miss Lizzie Williams, Miss Harris, and Miss Roberts, in addition to which addresses were delivered by the Rev. Evan Jones, incumbent of the Welsh church, Rev. Owen Thomas, Liverpool, Rtv. R. Williams (Hwfa Mon), Rev. Thomas, Rev. D. C. Davies, the Chairman, Gohebydd, and Mr Simner. The Chairman, after alluding to the loss which they would sus- tain by the departure of Mr Harris, said he could not refrain from reminding them of the special interest which attached to the week upon which they had just entered. Almost every neighbourhood in the Principality would be making collections in aid of the University College of Wales, and it was a noble sight indeed to see the people themselves coming forward in the cause of higher education. He had always been proud of his country and his countrymen, but he would be prouder than ever of them when he found them devoting their earnings to further a cause so sacred as that of education. He had been told the other day that one of the greatest statesmen England had ever seen, spoke in terms of admiration of the scholarships which had been formed at this College by the spontaneous liberality of work- ing quarrymen of North Wales. It was equally touching to sss the miners of Merthyr and Aberdare at the present period of distress, before they had recovered from the dis- astrous lockout, forming themselves into committees to carry on this national movement. He hoped that the dis- interested and patriotic exertions of the workmen would induce the masters also to come forward in support of a College which, with a few noble exceptions, had not hitheito banefitted from their immense wealth. (Hear, hear.) It was gratifying to find that satisfactory reports reached the office in Queen Victoria street daily from nearly all the districts. They were already beginning to reap the fruits of their labours, and at Bala last week Mr H. Robertson, M.P., promised to contribute £ 100 a year as long as was required to the sustentatioR fund of the College (Loud Cheers.) This was not all; at the meeting of the Council last week trustees were appointed for the sum of k2,500 which a Welshman resident in London had just handed over towards the endowment of the chair of natural science at the College. (Re- newed cheering.) Even more than these noble Pncl princely gifts, the popularity of the College was proved by the universality of the collections, which were an irresis- tible proof of the hold it had on the nation as an institution which rose above sect and party. Several men of great in- fluence, who had hitherto held aloof, were beginning to identify themselves with the movement, which had already asssumed such proportions that no public man dared to oppose it. He was, therefore, every day more sangiiine that the Government could not refuse the grant which they asked towards the maintenance of the College.-Mr Abel Simner referred in feeling terms to the lamented death of Mr R. G. Williams, Q.C., and dwelt on the lessons which his short but brilliant career afforded to young men. He alluded to the academical distinction which he had attained in spite of difficulties, and said that the young men of Wales had now an efficient College at their doors, so that they had no excuse any longer for any want of intelligence or cultivation.

BALA. An enthusiastic public meeting in support of this Institution and of the extra effort being made this week in aid of the sustentation fund was held at the County Hall, Bala, on Friday, October 22nd, Mr Henry Robertson, M.P., in the chair. Among those present were the Revs. L. Edwards, D. D., R. Thomas, (ap Fychau), J. Peter, Ellis Edwards, M. A., Mr Hugh Owen, London, Dr Hughes, Dr Jones, Messrs G. Jones, banker, J. R. Jones, solicitor, D. Rowlands, Inland Reve- nue, D. Evans, Post Office, S. J. Davies, Llanuwchllyn, R. Jones, Plasyracre, Jacob Jones, E. Jones, Mount Place, R. Roberts, Clothier, D. Morgan, currier, &c., &c. The chairman said—Ladies and Gentlemen, when asked by the committee to preside at this meeting, it was a source of great pleasure to me to arrange to be present with you to join in your efforts to bring a higher class education within the reach of the youth of North and South Wales. I am glad to see such a meeting as I witness before me, which represents the intelligence and influence of the town and neighbourhood of Bala, and I feel sure that your con- tributions will also be forthcoming to the good cause we are assembled to promote. Everyone who has given any degree of attention to the subject, must have noticed the great progress which has been made of late years in bring- ing education within the reach of all classes of the com- munity. We have seen that voluntary exertions supple- mented by aid from the state have accomplished a great deal for the country. By the Elementary Education Act of 1870 a vast stride has been made in the cause of public instruction. By the operation of that Act, elementary or pri- mary education has been brought within the reach of all the children of the country but the great work effected by the Government in this di- rection only makes it appear more clear, how much remains to be done to bring a higher and superior education more within the reach of our young people. It is quite clear that such institutions as the University College of Wales are now wanted, which at a moderate cost to the students would make higher education accessible to the middle classes of this country, and would bridge over the gulf which lies between them and the great Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Tho Universities are noble insti- tutions of the highest rank in learning and science, but too expensive to be available for tl: e great majority of the youth of England and Wales. It is said that God helps those who help themselves, and we must first help ourselves, and show the Government of the country that we are in earnest, ana tDat we nave done all which this good cause demands from us, and not only that we deserve, but that our efforts claim the support of the Government, and I hope in due time the Government and Parliament will not withhold their aid.(Cheers.) For educat:oaal purposes the total annual grant of public money is about 22,500,000. Of this about £ 2,000,000 goes for elementary education in Great Britain and Ireland, and the amount is increasing annually. This expenditure is chiefly for the benefit of the humbler classes of society, and I rejoice that so much is being spent for the purpose of elementary public instruction but surely the middle classes have a claim in all fairness that some corres- ponding aid should be given to the cause of higher educa- tion. There is moreover an ample precedent for giving aid to a College in Wales, when we see the grants which are made to Colleges in England, Scotland, and Ireland, amounting to upwards of 230,000 a year. As to the object of the present movement, I cannot do better than read five shoit paragraphs from this circular, which show very clearly what is intended to be done, and how it is to be carried out. [Mr Robertson here read from the University College of Wales Circular, which is familiar to most of our readers.] It is our privilege to join with the masses of the people ot Wales, not only to endeavour to carry out this plan and support this institution, but to do it, to have a sufficient temporary sustentation fund, which until good men provide a permanent Endowment Fund, will carry on the College successfully until the Government of the country comes to help us, and I hope that day will not be long distant. (Ap- plause.) [The Chairman was interrupted by Mr Hugh Owen to name the sum which he, the Chairman, was going to contribute and then continued.] Well, I may as well state myself what I intend doing. I intend to give 2100 a year for three or five years to the Sustentation Fund. (Great applause.) I know the value of education, and am entitled to use the letters M.A. after my name as graduate of a Scottish Univerity. I owe to educational advantages in Scotland that I was able to take my place in my profession and struggle for the position which I have attained, and if I can in any way help the young men of Wales, and of Eng- land, to be better prepared for the duties of life by attaining a higher education it will be my greatest pleasure. I ad- mire an institution that admits of free thought and study, with no other test than good conduct and attention to duty. Such a University will do for Wales what similar institu- tions have done for Scotland. I am glad this is a national movement into which one can cordially enter. There are movements of nationality which tend to perpetuate preju- dices and ignorance, with which I have no sympathy but when the feeling of Nationality is invoked for purposes of this kind, so good and so great as to give education of a superior class to the community, nothing more noble can be conceived, or more directly tending to the progress of a nation. We all know there is no better gift a parent can give to his boys and girls than education, and the State is but an aggregate of families, and if education la good for the family it is equally so for the aggregate, and this is what is intenaea lor Wales by means of this noble institution. I must admit that I was doubtful of this movement at first, and kept aloof from it on that account, but now I have changed my mind and am satisfied that I was in error before, and that this institution deserves the support of every man who wishes well to his country. The Chairman concluded with an earnest appeal for the hearty co-operation of all present, and was warmly cheered.—The Rev. Dr Edwards moved the following reso- lution-" That this meeting considering that Scotland has four universities, and that Ireland has three Queen's colleges, and two universities, Cannot but feel that it is the duty of the Government to endow a similar institution for the Princi- pality and trans!ated into Welsh some of the remarks made by the chairman, adding that the Welsh nation should bestirred up to make a powerful appeal through its Parlia- mentary representatives to the Government for aid to the University College of Wales. But few comparatively of the young men of Wales had the means of supporting them- selves at Oxford or Cambridge, or obtaining a scholarship at either university but by the means of the University College of Wales both difficulties vanished-higher class education was 1 ought within the reach of the young men ] in Wales. Mathew Ai.Tiold had said it was not enough to build schools, but educativ. n must be brought within reach I of the people The meetings held on behalf of this institu- tion in the country tended to cultivate a taste and extend j a yearning for superior t-ducation among the young men of Wales. Thd reverend speaker asked if the time had not arrived for the various reli- gious denominations in Wales to consider whether they oa/at not in the first instance to send all their students for the ministry to the University College of Wales at Aber- ystwyth? After a training there, they would be better pre- pared to study ecclesiastical history, theology, Biblical criticism, &c., in the denominational colleges. (Cheers ) He was not quite sure whether the inhabitants of Aberyst- wyth were sufficiently enthusiastic for the University of Wales, but if they did not prove themselves worthy at the present crisis, and the Bala people did, he was inclined to suggest that the building at Aberystwyth be sold, and the college removed to Bala. (Cheers and laughter.)—The Rev. J. Peter said: Mr Chairman, the proposition which I beg to second refers to the difference between our country and the other parts of the United Kingdom in respect to the state of, and provisions for the higher branches of educa- tion. I wish to say a few words as to the cause of that difference. It is not entirely the fault of our nation, for the people have no power of establishing a university in the proper sense of the word. It must be chartered by Govern- ment, and incorporated by an Act of Parliament. I grant, however that the people have their duties, and their share in the matter; but they have not been so negligent of their duty as some seem to imagine. The idea of a University for Wales is not a new one. It has been now and then fostered by our great men ever since the time that one of their own blood ascended the British throne some four cen- turies ago, as is proved by the following extracts from ancient documents, which I beg leave to read :— ?

Therefore the movement which has brought us together this evening is not a new one but it was never before in such a realized and practical form before the country. The work has been begun, the people are alive to their educa- tional wants, they are ready to act their part, and the only thing wanting is the sanction and help of Government. It is evident also that the energetic promoters of this move- ment are determined that they will be heard in Parliament, and I earnestly hope that our voters will have something to say out of ParJiaIrent to those who profess to represent us in that learned assembly. I beg therefore to second the resolution already read. (Applause.) Mr Hugh Owen, of London, in an exhaustive and in- teresting speech, gave a detailed account of the institution, its progress, and the liberal contributions promised, the high opinion entertained of the institution which he had heard while traversing the country in establishing com- mittees, and the readiness with which the work of arranging for the canvass and collections was taken up. He con- cluded by supporting the resolution, which was put to the meeting and carried unanimously.—The Rev. R. Thom is (Ap Fychan) moved That we highly approve of the efforts now being made to establish a University College for Wales on broad and unsectarian principles, and that we pledge ourselves to aid these efforts by our contributions." He spoke in Welsh to the effect that although he had not received the advantages of university education, but simply elementary education, which was much valued in Penllyn many years ago, he felt it was of much value to encourage higher and superior education, and the Government did not deal fairly with the Welsh compared with England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Welsh people were generous, and contributed much towards English institutions, and it would have been an honour if they were able to support the University College of Wales by voluntary contributions; still this did not justify the Government in withholding its aid.—The Rev. Ellis Edwards, M.A., seconded the resolution, and said there was no doubt that arts and science were best taught where they were taught together. The greater the number of teachers, the greater the intellectual quicken- ing, the greater the security against one-sidedness, and the keener the generous rivalry. Students, too, of all classes and denominations might meet together at a University College with the inestimable advantage of knowing one another, and of giving up prejudices which .had arisen from ignorance. Truth would be all the more firmly held the more we understood from contact with others what was essence and what was accident. Special views would be all the more clearly maintained, and the more powerfully uiged, the more sharply they were defined for us by intercourse with opponents, whose excellence we had learned to recog- nize. On the one hand denominational colleges were abso- lutely necessary, and on the other nothing could make up for a competition which should include all comers, and for that intercourse with men which brought a clear and charit- able estimate of their differences, and a zeal which was joined to a respect for their excellencies. Aberystwyth was not in competition with English Universities, but the standard of the men who entered them from Wales might be vastly affected by it, and already its stimulus was felt throughout thelcountry. (Cheers.) The notion of a house to house appeal was one which we should feel proud of. All the institutions in the world had had their difficulties. Had any nation within historical memory been trusted to respond to such an appeal before ? We must be firm with the Government. Every ministry expected that the people would kneck at its door if they wanted anything from it. But we must go with money in our hands, that our blows might be heavier and more unmistakably heard. (Cheers.) —M.r G. Jones, banker, supported the resolution, which was carried unanimously.—Upon the motion of Dr Hughes, seconded by Mr L. J. Davies, Llanuwchllyn, a vote of thanks was accorced to the following ladies for soliciting subscriptions -—Miss Morgan, currier, Mil3 Parry, Miss Thomas, chemist,.Miss Jones, Plasyracre. Upon the motion of Mr J. R. Jones, solicitor, seconded by MrW. T. Phillips, Grammar School, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman. THE OCTOBER COLLECTIONS.

SIR HEXRY JAMES ON THE SLAVE CIRCULAR. Sir Henry Jaine3 addressed his constituents at Taunton on Tuesday night. He observed that the House of Com- mons led Mr Disraeli instead of Mr Disraeli leading the House. He then referred to the Admiralty Slave Circular, and laid stress on the fact that the "astounding production" had only been suspended, not withdrawn, and on. the RECENT declaration of Lord Derby, that tbe circular was issued on the responsibility of the highest lrgfil authority, Sir Henry denounced the circular as contrary to the law of nations, and to the municipal law of Knplaud, nnd declared that the captain who put it in force would render himself liable not only to civil, but to criminal proceedings at the suit of tlio surrendered slave. The Government by the circular had surrendered several great principles which Englishmen held dear, and although he did not wish to make thi unfortu- nate business a party question, he well knew how the Tories would have treated a similar blunder on the part of the Liberals. There would have been an universal Tory shrink all over the country on behalf of the poor slave. The late Government had often bet-u accused oi lowering the flag to I preserve peace, but they n?vfc." stained :t by surrenderirg the aLtve. SJr Henry c died upon GON e -n me- t to eit"), r withdraw the circular, and express r.rl t at its issue, or else to stand by it.

■ LLANYBYTHER. LLANI'ITTTHER FAIRS. A correspondent writes It wouid be advisable for the "Llantbyther Improvement Committee to publish in stiuie of the London and Local papers a list of all the subscribe?;, with their subscriptions, lest the public should think that an enormous sum of money for establishing new fairs at Llaaybvther ias been fwliected for nothing, as theie was no- i thing to be seen at Llanvbyther mora than ordinary on the day I of the Pencarreg &ir, being the day on which the first new fair I at r.ianyDycaer W to De held. it never came to mv Knowledge who were the committee, but if the whole affair is entrusted to Mr Davies, I, for one, am satisfied that everything is honestly carried on. Some say that Mr Davies is the secretarj-, treasurer, and the committee; whether this is true or not, I can assure the committee that nothing but a true statement of accounts will give silence to town and country.-CRTTO.

LAMPETER COUNTY COURT, FRIDAY, OCT, 22.-Before T. H, Terrell, Esg, judge. There were 169 new plaiiits entered foT hearing at this Conrt, and one jadgnient summons. The majority of the cases were heard before D. Long Price, Esc., the registrar. Roos v. Evans.—Wm. Roos, Swansea, sued Colonel H. Evans, of Highmead, for ZCIO alleged to be due for work done. Mr Grif- fith Jones, solicitor, AberystwytS, appeared for plaintiff, and Mr David Lloyd for defendant. The case was adjourned on the ap- plication of defendant's solicitor. Evans v. Hnryxng.—The plaintiff, who lives at Gwarfelin, Llan- geitho, sued Diivid Morgans.Cwmtrawsn >nt, Llanrhystyd, for S5 10s for goods sold. Mr J. W. Thomas, Aberystwyth, appeared for defendant. Plaintiff did not uppear, the case was struck out, and defendant's costs allowed on the application of his soli- citor. Morgans v. Lloyd.— John Morgans, TroedrhiwgscafJLlanfair. sued John Lloyd, Brjnmare, for the recovery of X2 7s 4.1 balance of amount for goods sold. Mr Griffith Jones appeared for plain- tiff Mr David Lloyd for defendant. The plaintiff said the claim was for corn sold to the defendant. The particulars produced were made from an entry in a book written at the time the debt was incurred.—Cross-examined: In January, 1S63, he had a settlement with defendant's wife. He received 10s, and agreed that the balance due was £1 Ss 4d. He thought she had a bushel of birley afterwards, and again on other occasions, two and five bushels of barley for which he had not been paid.—Elizabeth Lloyd, defendant's wife, recollected having five bushels of barley from the plaintiff, for which she paid in about two months after- wards. She also had one tushel of dry barley, and paid for it bv knitting seven pairs of stockings. On several other occasions she had knitted stockings for plaintiff an 1 his wife, and had never been asked for the sum claimed on those occasions. Cross- examined: She did not remember striking the balance when she paid 10s, and found that the sum owed was £1 3; 4d,-John Lloyd, the defendant, denied having any transaction with the plaintiff, and said h:3 had made hi:n no payment. The demand forpaymentjof the sum now claimed was made about a week before the proceedings were taken in the County Court, -Plaintiff said he had, on several occasions, applied for payment, and had been promise 1 a settlement of the account.—Defendant contradicted this statement.—His Honour, however, said he believed plaintiff's testimony, and gave judgment accordingly. A Curious Claim.-Eliuor Jones, Ffosffin, Llanddewi-brefi, v. Elinor .Jones, Pant teg, Llanddewi-brefi. The claim was 7s, and was alleged to be due for attending the Tregaron Petty Sessions, and givi:g evidence on defendant's behalf iu an affiliation case. —Mr Davi I Llevd defended plaintiff was not represented.— Judgment was given for 4s, tha sum allowed according to scale for attending sessions as a witness, and costs in the present action. An Ejectment Action—This' was a case in which the Rev Richd Richards,tPantrhosIligwy,brought an action against David Davies, to recover possession of Giynissa Farm. Mr David Lloyd appeared for plaintiff, and Mr J. J. Atwool for the defen- dant. It appeared that there had been no notice to quit given, the plaintiff who was t1;e landlord, relying on an agreement made on the 3rd of August, by which defendant agreed to give up the farm last Michaelmas. Mr Atwood contended that the tenancy could only be terminated by a deed of surrender. The Judge held Mr Atwood's objection to be valid, and gave judgment against plaintiff. Claim for Damnge ly Assault.—Joseph Henry Blakewell, Derry Ormond, gamekeeper, summoned Thomas Griffiths, Goitre, farmer, to recover.915. the alleged extent of damages sustained in an assault by defendant. Mr J. J. Atwood appeared for plain- tiff; and Mr Jones, Llandovery, was retained for the defence. Mr Jones being unable to attend, the :case was adjourned, and the jury were dismissed. BOARD OF GUARDIAXS, SATURDAY, OCT. 23.—Present Mr William Jones, Lhvynygroc3, chairman, the Very Rev. Dr Llewelyn Lewellin, Mr William Jones, Glandennis, and Mr T. H. R. Hughes, Neuaddfawr, ex-officio; Messrs W. E. Jones, Garth, James Edwards and Joseph Morgan, Lampeter, David E-rans and Daniel Evans, Lanwenog. Lewis Davies and John Evans, L'anybyther, Evan Jones, Llanfair Clydogau, David Rees, Pencarreg, D. Lloyd, clerk, Abel Evans and Herbert Davies, medical officers. The Cast of Ellen Price.-Ir William Jones, of Glandennis, handed in an agreement between himself find Ellen Price, by whi.-b she consented to give up possession of the house she held under him. The Chairman-Well, what is the application ? Mr Jonec-She wants a house. The Re;ievinu Officer-I saw the woman the other day, and she told me that she wanted Mr Jones to allow her to remain in the house until she could find another. Dr Lewellin-Is that not what Mr Jones has offered her? Mr Jones-Yes. but she did not take it. I offered her what was in my power to give her, and now she consents to give up possession of the house. Mr Morgan-What she wants is a pretty good house in this town. Dr Lewdlin—Wh<n is the workhouse to be ready-that is the point ? Mr Jones—What am I to do with her ? The Chairman-I think your way to treat her is very simple. The petty sessions will be held this day week, and then you can summon her before the magistrates and obtain a warrant to evict her. Mr Jones-Yes; I can turn her out by this agreement to give up possession. I can put a constable of police in. The Chairman-Yes that is the way. Mr Jones- But I don't want to be so cruel as to turn a woman and five children into the streets. The Chairm-n—But you want the Board to be cruel. Mr Jones—No. I don't; but I want you to find her a house before I turn her out. The Chairman—Well, then, make a motion, Ir Jones, and the Guardians can decide upon it. Mr Jones-Very well; I do not think it right that a pauper should occupy a honse of £ 15 rent. I therefore propose that Parry, the relieving officer, should be authorized t finri her another house at a lower rent. The Chairman—Mr Pariy has no right to do that. Mr Jones-If I were to turn her out you would be bound to provide her with a dwelling. The Chairman -I have no doubt Mr Lloyd will inform us whether it is a part of Mr Parry's duty to find this woman a house ? Mr LJoyà- Yes, when a woman becomes destitute, and without any home. ;\fr Jones-She is destitute. Dr Lewellin-r don't understand the ca-e at all. It seems to nae very reasonable that a house should be fonnd for her. The Chairman-But she has a house, Mr Dean. Mr Joiaes-No, she has no h-iuse, for I h-ive the power to turn her out at any moment. The Chairr-,an-But she is not out of the house yet. Parry -nows his duty very well, and will do it when the woman becomes homeless. Mr Jon..e- Very well, if you decide against me I must submit to it. The Chairman-What do you say, Mr Dean ? Dr Lewellin-I think it is very reasonable that we should find a house for the woman. Whether we can or not legally I do not profess to know. Mr Dl. Jones-I am against the resolution, for if thb relieving officer hs to find houses under such circumstances as the present, he will have enough to do. Mr Edwaids-I think Mr Jones is unjustly treated. It is a pity a pauper should live in a house of 912 rent. The Guardiats were then asked their opinions on the question, after which the Chairman said there were six in favour of the motion and seven against it. Mr Jones—Then I must bow to the decision. I am sorry for it, but it cannot be helped. The Chairman—It is the ordinary way of doing business. Mr Jones-Yes, it is vety fair. Anti-vaccina ors.— Mr John Jones, the vaccination offioer, re- ported that there were only two persons in his district in de- fault with vaccination, and they resided in the parish of Llanfi- hangcl-rhos-y-corn. The Chairman-Have they any reason to give to show why they are in default? The Officer-They say thev do not like to alter the work of the Creator. The Chairman —Whose work is it to summon them ? The Clerk—The Vaccina- tion Officer's. The Chairman-We will give them another notice, and if they do not obey it the officer must get a summons against them. Referring to the circular sent by the Keighley Guardi- ans, asking the Lampeter Guardians to join in protesting against the tyranny of the Vaccination Acts, the Chairman remarked that the Merthyr Guardians had returned an answer that the Keighley Guardians ought to be confined in a lunatic asylum. Another Board had also returned a similar re; ly, but with this addition, that the Keipblay Guardians should pay for their own keep in the asylum. (Laughter.) Probably some old fellow had taken the idea into his head, and works at it. Dr Lewellin remarked that his father's argument was a good one. When he was a young man, he said, he used to see nearly every one who came to the fair marked with small pox, but after vaccination had been used for some time it was a rare thing to see a person marked.

Holloway s medicine acts on tbe organs of digestion, and mauces complete regularity in the stomach, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. This treatment" is both safe and certain in result, and is thoroughly consis- tent with observation, experience, u.nd common sense. The purilication of the blood, the reiu of elll noxious matter from the secretions, and the exe.lemer.i of gentle action in the bowls, ase the sources of the captive powers of Hollo- way's Pills.
