Chester, at T o'clock the room bein* fiU«d with ladies and gantlemen of the neighbourhood. Tho governors present U M«sn J. Wi»ia«s, R. Hughe<S Morgan, and T. Joees. In opening the proceedings, the CHIIKMIN said- It gires me great pleasure to preside on auch an occasion, and I sma pleased that so many ladies and gentlemen testify by theii pteeence the iatreet they Uke w edgcafaon. In my Mea Bala Grammar School fills up the gap which often exists in weighbonrhoods of this kind. It is a school where middle da88 parents can obtain for their sons a sound education, enitable for either commercial or professional pursuits. To my mind there are three classes to be educated-the children of the working class those of the middle class; and the sons of the squire. The first are amply provided for inonr National, British, and Board Schools; the sqcire sends his son to one of the great public schools, but there was a went of good middle class schools, and I am very pleased to support Bala Grammar School, because it'supplies this want. I am a great admirer of Germ* n Schools, because of the variety of the subj«ets learnt, and the thoroughness with which they are taught. I believe their snceees to a great extent to be due to that excellent habit of early rising; they commence school at seven o'clock in the vorntng and finish their work by mid day. I should like to see the same system prevail in this conntry. au will be pleased to hear that the scholar- ship movement has 8aceeecied to a certain extent; six pupils, who are likely to prove a credit to the school, are now enjoying the benefits of such an education an they old not otherwise have obtained. Funds are now wanted to earry on these scholarship* fer the future, and above all £ think that an effort ought to be made to supply what I consider the great want ef the school, via, accom- modation for boarders; and I am glad to hear that the matter has already been under the consideration of the Governors. I will not detain you any longer, but will can npon the boys to commence the parts assigned to them m the programme. Dl88ltJUftOtf fSHH) -july 25TS, 1816. Programme — (ilea.

To the Governors -of the Bala Grammar Schoed. ,Gentionse.-4 hare mach pleesnre in submitting to you my ropert of the examination of yomr school, which I have held during the last week. The smmber of boys presented was thirty-eight. the subjects of examination consisting ol Scrip- ture, English (grammar, geography, history, dictation), Writlog and Penmanship, Mapping, Drawing, Mathematics ^(arithmetic, algebra, and Baclid), Latin {Virgil's iSaaid, bk. xL, grammar and accidence), French {tamartlne's Life of Coinmtms, gram- mar and aocidcace), Scieacea (chemistry, physics, physicAl g-oo- graphy). The ouastlons answered by the boys on the aburo suHects were generally exceedingly well done, the average being decidedly a high one. showing a full knowledge and mastery of sahjects, displaying care, thought, and diligence on the part of the boys, the evident result of great painstaking and efficient teaching on the part of the head matter. I consider the disci- pline of the school ti be anexceptionably excellent themetaooa used being not ody conducive to efflotency, but the least pro- ductive of noise; a most pleasing and hsalthy contrast to school life generally. I was also pleasantly surprised with the know- ledge shewn by the boys ia English generally, and this, con- lideriag the iaattM discultion they labour unckw In tht" sub- ject, I consider highly commendable. Perhaps one of the most interesting features connected with your school is the general proficiency (in every satgeet in whioh he compete*!) shown by Jones, sec., a blind boy. who has not only gained the French prize, but also a high position in mathematics. The latter es- pecially reAeota to his credit, having achievod so honourable a position by sheer brain work, without the apparatus usaally: given to the blind. The fact that suoh an excellent education has been obtained in your school by a blind boy under the head master is an all-convincing proof of the kindness, care, and excellent teaching displayed here. The scripture paper was well answered throughout the school, Owen sec. standing first, closely followed by Jones, max. In the English subjects the first position was gained by Jones, max., Owen, aeeM making an excellent second, with a difference only of 10 marks. In the thommaied Patters I was axtresaely pleased with the neatness and accaracy shown, Owen, ter., taking the first position, ably followed by Jones, max., and Jones. sac-, of the first class, while Roberts, sec,, ataDd. first ia the second low. followed by Roberts, 4u«^ and Taylor. The first position in the Latin Paper was gained by Jones, max., though most bravely con- tested by Owen Sas, with a difference ot three marks only, while in the second class Roberts, sec., stands first, followed by Lewis, na, aa a second. The Beading priae of first class was gained by Owen, max.. Jones, max. and Thompson, each with a difference of one mark only, taking capital places. In the second class Taylor gained the first place, Roberts, sec., and Roberts, 4111., makln^good seconds; while in the third elass_Phillig[|g|ga the order as herein piaeed. The aoatness aa 1 extreme legibility of the writing throughout the school afforded me another proof of pains and diUgence taken both by teachers and scholars. Thompson -fully deserves the first prize, his writing throughout Iris papers being remarkably good. DMiee, mi. of the third class obtained the tret poaition for the same subject, followed by a good second in Bolloin. The Arithmetic prize of third class was won by BoUom, Davies, mi, and Owen, each with only a difference of two marks, following as seconds. The general prize of third class was won by Phillips, whose position was closely contested by Davies, ml,, as a good seeond. The French prize was taken by Jones, sec., followed closely by Owen, ter., and Jones, aaax. I am pleased to state that the Mapping struck me as remarkably good, some of the specimens being among the be*t I have ever seen. The map of motto Rajah was the best, Hercules wfcing a really good second. The specimens of drawing show great taste and considerable training of both eye and hand. The first position in this subject was most stoutly contested between Owen, max., and Jones, max., the former taking the first position, and Jones, max., a splendid second.—I have the honour, gentlemen, to remain, yours obediently, THKOS. HEMMINGS, Head Master, Middle Class School, Stoke on Trent. The head master, Mr W. T. PBILYPS, explained how the examination had been conducted, and alluded to the great pains that the examiner had taken in all tbe subjects named, it was most gratifying, both to the parents and himself, to hear such a favourable report. It well repaid both the boys and master for their efforts, and he hoped it would prove an incentive for even harder work for the future. He was thankful to the Governors for their constant support and for the liberal sum they allowed for prizee. He hoped the boj s who had not gained prizes would not be disspirited, but would determine to try harder for tbe future, and he also hoped that the parents would assist him by insuring the punctual and regular attendance of their sons. He was quite proud of the promising boys who had been drawn to the school by means of the scholarships, and two of them, viz. Davies min, and Bollom, had gained prizes. The scholarships and subscriptions already promised were— Mr H. Robertson, M.P., Pal4 Hall, three scholarships, tenable at the school for four years, of the annual value of 25, and 23 respectively; Mr E. G. Jones, Frondderw, one of 1:5 per annum Mr R. Hughes, one of S5; Mr Ed- ward Evans-Lloyd, one of 25 per annum, all tenable for the same number of years Miss Edwards, a subscription of k5, and a similar sum from Mr T. Jones on behalf of him. self and brother, Their sports and breaking up party would take place the next day, and he was exceedingly grateful to those ladies ana gentlemen who had assisted him by their subscriptions in aid of the same. Votes of thanks to the chairman and head masters and cheers for the ladies, the examiner, and the head master brought a very pleasant evtning to a conclusion. LldT OF SUCCESSFUL PUPILS.

DOLGELLEY. WELCOME TO THE REv. HUGH ROBERTS.-On Thurs- day evening, July 2i tb, a public meeting was held in the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, to give a public reception to the Rev. Hugh Roberts, missionary in Cassia, on his re- turn. Mr Roberts being a nsitive of the town it was ar- ranged that his fir!-t appearance in public should be in tbe old chapel in which he was brought up. The chair was taken by the Rv. R. Kobeits, and congratulatory addresses were delivered by the Kev. Josiah Thomas, M.A., secre- tary of the Foreign Missionary Society, Mr Richard Morris, tanner. Mr Roberts a old teacher in the Sunday School, Mr G. Davies, the senior deacon, and several other Iriends. Mr H. Roberts also addressed the meeting at some length. COUNTY COURT, THURSDAY, JULY 27TH.-Before Mr Serjeant Atkinson, Judge. There had been fifty-three original plaints, two adjourned summonses, six judgment summonses, and one application for a new trial, entered for adjudication. The following only came before the judge: Ann Jones, of Dynybuaith, Dyffiyn, v. Robert Owen, of Clossygraig, Four Crosses, Featiniog.-Clairn of £ 1 5s, for five weeks'attendance on the defendant's wife during ber confinement, at 5s per week. It appeared that the summons had been sent to the Portmadoc County Court for service and a duplicate had been ieturned, endorsed witL a statement to the effect that the defendant was dead, but thatthesummons had been served upon his widow. Accord- ingly a notiee to that effect bad been sent to the plaintiff, who, in consequence did not attend the Court. The defen- dant, however, appeared, in company with his solicitor, Mr G. H. Ellis, of Four Crossess, and from the explana- tion that ensued it appeared that the defendant had sepa- rated frombia wife, and then reeided in lodgings at Festiniog, The sommme had been delivered to hie landlady, whfcm the plaintiff appears to have mistaken for his widow. The defendant alleged that his wife hai separated from bim without any cause, and then resided at Dyffryn. The Judge expressed an opinion that mere care should have been taken in serving the summons, but, of oourse, under the circumstances the case could not be gone into. I Application for New Ti-W.-Mr Howell, of Welshpool, applied on behalf of John Lleyd. and Sarah, his wife, fruiterers, of Berriew, against whom a judgment for = and coot-,smottitting together to upwards of £ 50, bad been given at the last court for daaaaje said to have been caused to premises at Barmouth. Mr G. H. Ellis, of Feetiniog, Ope posed the application on behalf of the plaintiff, Griffith Edwards, master mariner, of Tanycoed, Barmouth* The applieation was adjourned t. the next court, for the adjudi- cation of the Judge by whoa the first judgment was given. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, SATURDAY, JULY 29th.— Present: Mr John Vaughan, Mr Charles Jones, ex- officio, Mr Hugh Roberts, Mr B. Breese, Mr B. Giiffith, Mr D. Williams, Mr R. Evane, Mr H. Evans, Mr John Jones, and the Key. W. Hughes; Mr Joseph Roberts, clerk. The Finance CFonnitim.-The Finanee Committee met before the Board meeting, and went through the accounts. Everything was found to be in regular order. The com- mittee will do good work, and it is to be hoped that at further meetings the Rev. W. Hughes and Mr Edward Griffiths will not be the only members present. &atistics. -Mr Morris Jones reported that the number of paupers relieved daring the put fortnight in the Taly- llyn district was 132, the amount expended in out-relief was £61124 2d Mr John Jons-, relieving officer announced that the number of paupers in the Barmouth district wat 478, and the amount of out-relief waa £101 16a 2d. The Master of the Workhouse reported that the number of paupers in the werkbouse was 20 against 36 in the corres- ponding period of last year. Tbe number ef vagrants re- lieved during the past fortnight was 8, against 7 in the cor-1 responding poriodof leet year. Belief Casm-Several relief cases were discussed very fully, especially where there were relatives able to main- tain the paupers. Some rules, we believe, have been adopted at Dolgelley, but the Guardians do not seem h be aware of their existence. The Gisborac Caa&-Mr Griffith Jones Williams, the solicitor engaged on behalf of the Guardians to conduct tbe litigation with Mr Gisborne appeared at the Board, aDd said he had just received an intimation that Mr Gisborne was making an application to refer the matter in dispute between himself and the Board to arbitration. A summons returnable on Monday had been taken out.—Mr C. Jones said it seemed to him there was nothing in the world to arbitrate on.—MrG. J. Williams said he had gone through the case, and it was a question of law and not of fact. The only matter was as to whether the contract had been car- ried out. (Mr Williams then read tbe affidavits made on behalf of Me Giaborne's new movement) The summons would be beard on Monday, and of course there was no time whatever to prepare counter affidavit?.—The Chair- man said be thought the Board ought to stick to their resolution.—Mr C. Jones said the Board had engaged a person to do a certain work, and he had not done it. Oa applying for payment, tbe Board refused to pay bim. He could not Fee what there was to arbitrate about in thai— The Rev. W. Hughes said the course to pursue at that tiaa* was to get the hearing of the summons Postponed.- Mr C. Jones said there would be no difficulty in getting that done. He never heard ef such a thing as to take a summons out and have it heard in a way that would pre- vent their being present. Law was supposed to be the essence of common sense, but there was no oommon sense in that. Somebody would have to appear for the Board on Monday, and get the matter adj,. Qrsed.-MV G. J. Wil- liams said it was clear that Mr Gisborne had been haggling for an arbitration from the first.—Mr C. Jones said they were certainly in for a nice little game, but unfortunately he did not see how they could help themselves. If they agreed to an arbitration it would seem as if they agreed that to some extent they were in the wrong, which, of course, they did not think they were. An arbitration was as expensive as a trial, if not more so. They had engaged a man to do certain work and he had not done it. They consequently refused to pay him. Their solicitor, he supposed, would see that the necessary steps were taken, and they would, as resolved, leave the whole affair in his hands.-The matter then dropped. SANITARY MEETING, SATDBDAT, JULY 29xB.- Present: The Rev. W. Hughes in the chair, Mr D. Williams, Mr R. Evans, Mr E. Griffiths, and Mr Joseph Roberts, Clerk. Inspector's Report.-The following extracts from the report are of publie intered Gentlemen,—I beg to lay before you my books and papers for the quarter ending this day, and to report aa follows on the state of mortality, &c., within the union. I he number of deaths from all causes during the quarter was 90, being an increase of 11 on the last quarter, and a decrease of 5 on the correspond- ing quarter of last year. Of this number 31 were adults above 60 years of age, and 21 were children under 12 months. It is to be observed that the deaths for the quarter were at the rate of 25.2 per 1,000 per annum, though the union on the whole has been more free than usual from any zymotic diseases. There has been an (uni- form type of chest or lung affections through the union, and in large numbers of cases proving fatal, the cause of which I am inclined to believe was more attributable to poison in the air and cold weather than to any sanitary defects—only two cases were owfn* to fever, one to measles, and three to accidents. The total number o( births for the same quarter was 109, or an increase on the aeatiu A 19, ( l'bese figures include the urban sanitary authorities of Dinas and Barmouth.)-Acue of scarlet fever broke out a few days ago on the borders of the Dolgelley Local Board, and the patientwasremovedthr-oughtbecentre of the town (where no cases to my knowledge exist) with- out consulting the proper authority, or even obtaining permission. I believe it is high time that the public should be given to understand some way or other that they are not at liberty to do this sort of thing without being liable to severe punishment. In this case the Earties deny all knowledge of the existence of any such iws.It waa stated that a servant of Mr Baker's was brought through the town whilst she was suffering from scarlet fever.—The Chairman suggested that bills should be issued cautioning the people against spreading disease in this way. It was remarked that the people did not care much about the matter. The High Death Rate.-The Chairman called attention to the high death rate, 25.2. The Inspector said the Rural Sanitary District suffered very much from the un- healthy condition of the town. People were taken ill in the town and then removed to places in the Rural Sani- tary District. A resolution was passed to call the atten- tion of the Dolgelley Local Board to the high death rate, and to ask them to do something with a view of re- ducing it. There was no other business.

PORTMADOC WORTHY CONDUCT OF THE VOLUNTZZRS. -At a meeting of the Volunteer Company held in the new Itrill shed on Monday, July 24tb, all the officers and the greater num- ber of the men being present, Dr Roberts presiding, a reso- lution was passed condoling with the widow and relatives of the late Private John Roberts, accidentally shot on the Rifle Range on Wednesday, July 19, and it was further resolved that subscriptions be solicited from the members of the company, the volunteers of the kingdom, and the public generally, in the neighbourhood, with the view of providing for the widow and children of the deceased, and a committee was appointed, with Lientp. Casson and Hughes as secretaries, and Sergeant Strawger as treasurer, to carry out these objectf. A large sum was subscribed by those present, and we understand that since the meeting it has been considerably increased. We may add that the expense of the funeral. at the request of the members, was defrayed by the company, A YOUTH DBOWNED.—Two boya named Humphrey Humphreys and John Jones were out mackerel fishing on Monday, July 24th, when the latter was drowned. They went outside the bar in a sailing boat named the Petrel, belonging to J. Williams, and Humphreys says Jones got into a small boat they had in tow. While he was in the bows of this boat, she was swamped by a wave and Jones was thrown into the water. He struck out and swam after the Petrel for nearly half an hour, but Humphreys could not stop that boat and the unfortunate fellow at length sank from exhaustion. He was only sixteen years of age, and lived at Morfa Bychan. Humphreys is abjut twenty. PETTY SESSIONS, JULY 28th.-Before Messra Owen Griffith. J. W. Greaves, G. H. Owen, and Major Mathew. Claimfor Wage,&George Cameron v. J. Macdonald. captain of the Jessie Hoyt. In this case complainant sued defendant for wages due to him, and stated he had been discharged from the vessel. He said that the first mate of the vessel told him to pack up his things aad go ashore. He thereupon went to the captain and asked for his wages, and the captain retorted by saying, Go to h-, out of this," which complainant understood to imply a confirma- tion of the mate's order. The captain refused to pay him his wages: hence the summons. Complainant called Martin Sanderson, sailor on the same vessel, who said he saw defe-adant go to the captain, and heard him ask for his wages on the previous Tuesday. He als.i heard de. fendant say, Go to h-, out of this," by which he also understood the captain to tell the man to leave. Corn. plainant then went to the Forecastle and took away his clothes.—By defendant: Heard the mate tell complainant to pack his clothes re?dy to go ashore he also saw the second mate taking defendant's c1,thes and putting them aft in the cabin. Complainant used no violent language. Did not hear defendant tell complainant to go to his work, but heard him say to complainant that if he went ashore he would have him locked up.—The defendant said that the complainant signed articles with him in America for the voyage out and back again; aad that he did not tell him to leave.—The complainant re-called, said that he went and asked the Captain for nis wages, because he had pre- viously been ordered ashore by the first mate.—William Thomas Carter, second mate of the vessel, said he did not tell George Cameron to go ashore, nor did he receive orders from the Captain to do so, but he heard the first mate tell him to go if he wanted to. Did not hear the Captain u-)e abusive language.—This concluded the evidence, and the Bench ordered the defendant to pay complainant seven days' wages, and pay the costs.—Defendant said, "Very well; I shall not pay it."—The Bench said he bad better be taken to the cells then.—Defendant: "Very well; I will go anywhere rather than pay."—He then proceeded to give his money and the charge of the vessel into the hands of Mr William Prichard, broker, adding That he would make the gentlemen on the Bench pay well for committing him under the circumstances. "Ultimately defendant was allowed to go, the Bench ordering a distress warrant on the vessel to cover the payment. Drunkenness.-A.S. Owen Price v. Richard Roborts.- Complainant said, that hearing a noise in Madoc-street, he went there and found defendant, who was a master mariner, opposite the Prince of Wales Inn, very drunk, and swear- ing. He ultimately went home with a friend. Defendant WM fined la, and 10s costs.-David Daviea and John Jenkins wen lummoaed by A.S. Owen Price for being drank and riatolit. Complainant said that he was passing through Madoe-atreet, and saw people fanning past him, aad caJling out that a fight was going on. When he reached there be found defendants, two foundry men, fighting and bleeding. They had now left the neighbourhood. They were fined Is, and 9s costs, each. Licences Trtm,ferred. The licence of the Queen's Hotel, Pertmadoo, was transferred from Mr Edward Pryoe to Mr Mitton; and that of tha Royal Madocks Aims Hotel, Tremadec, from Mrs Jane 'Williams to Captain William Griffith.

ABERYSTWYTH CoNCBRT.—To-night Mr Sauvage's benefit concert will be given in, the Temperance Hall. Notwithstanding the number of entertainments in the town it is to be hoped Mr Sauvage will have a good house, and that hie benefit will not result in his making a loss. A QUKXB PLACBVOB AN EBL.—The other day Mr Garner. confectioner, Terrace-road, found that water would not flow from the Up. He sent for a workeaao, and an eel, several inches long, was found in the pipe, PBTTf SSSSIONS.—On Wednesday there was only one oase. Alderman Watkins, Mayor, and J. W. Szlumper, Esq., were on the Bench. John Thomas, Northgate Court, was summoned for his child not attending school. Fined 5e nniees the child attended mere regularly. After the caN was over, Mr Szlumper asked why the clerk was not present, and said he should be glad to wait upon him. MONDAY'S EXCURSIONS.—On Mondiy last an unusually large number of excursionists were brought into Aberyst- wyth from inland towns, and from the coast, by the Cam brian Railway Company. It is computed that about 2,500 people were brought by the different trains. Unfortunately the day was wet, and long before the time arrived for the remissal of the excursion trains, the station was crowded by the wet and weary pleasure seekers. The ordinary passengers by the mail at six o'clock found themselves ] jammed in a crowd so tightly packed that it was impossible I to get through it. After a great deal of unavoidable crush. ling, and not a little anger by a few consequential passengers, J the trains were got away. The strain put upon the em- ployes on a day like Monday last is very great, and well- dressed people, who ought to know better, materially in- erea-je their difficulties.

Medical Qfwer.-It was resolved to advertise for a medi- cal officer In the place of Mr Jacob Roberts, who is deter- mined not to hold his office after the 29th of next September Proposed Culvert.-The Chairman said that with regard to the proposed culvert and boundary wall there was an estimate prepared by Mr Rees Jones. The sost of the work would be 1,88 93 3d. If the cost of the proposed work would amount to that large sum it was his opinion that the advantage to be gained was not worth the money it would cost.—Mr John James, Aberystwyth, said that the culvert might be made, and instead of tne wall they might have a wire fence and aqniekset hedge.— ift John Jones (Tre'rddol) moved, and Mr Rees seconded, that the work should not be done.—Mr John James (Aberystwyth) moved, and Mr Jas. James seconded, an amendment that the culvert should be made, and that the wall should be left.—After some conver- sation, in which the opinion was expressed that if the cul- vert were made the wall would ultimately follow, the motion not to do the work was carried. TOWN COUNCIL, TUBSDAY, AUGUST IST.-Present: Alderman Watkins (Mayor), Alderman Williams, Alder. man Thomas Jones, Messrs John Rees, John Jones, Bridge-end, T. H. Jones, Peter Jones, J. P. Jones, George Green, John James, John Jones, Great Darkgate-street, J. R. Jones, Thomas Davies, Thomas Griffiths. Mr W. H. Thomas, town clerk Mr Reea Jones, town surveyor, Mr DavidVFones, borough accountant, Mr J. J. Atwood, corporation solicitor. COS TRACTS. Mr DAVID LLOYD (while reading the minutes) said that the Council had not decided how the contracts for coal and printing were to be obtained. The Town Clerk had not been instructed how to get the contracts. It was agreed that the arrangements for the contracts should he referred to the Public Works Committee. Mr J. P. JONES said he hoped the contracts would soon be procured, as he was told the engine house had been twioe filled by members of the Town Council. MORS ABOCT TUB LATB SURVEYOR. Mr JOHN JAMES, referring to a bill for sleepers, said that a tender for those sleepers was asked for, and two were sent io, one by Mr Thomas Hughes, and one by Mr Morgan. Mr Hnghea's tender was lower than Morgan's, but Morgan he found got the orders. Mr Zophar Hum- phreys had given the orders to Morgan, but had kept promising Hughes that he should supply some of the sleepers. Mr PHILIP WrtxSSM.S asked hew long they were to hear of Zophar Humphreys /in connection with one thing and another. Was there 90 end to it* It was observed that at last Mr Zephar Humpreys was turning out to be a very useful man. TUB URBAN MEDICAL OFFICES. Mr PETBB JONES (on the medical officer's salary coming up) said that in his opinion the town was entitled to a re- port now and then for the handsome salary they paid their medical officer. He also thought that if the medical officer's report book was produced the Council would have an op- portunity of judging what work was done for the money paid. The MAYOR said he had only seen the medical officer present once for a long time. Mr JOHN JONES, Bridge-end, said the medical officer was present at the meeting a fortnight ago. Mr PETEB JONES said he thought the medical officer's re- port book certainly ought to be produced, so that they could see what was done for the salary paid. THE LATB CLERK TO THE HARBOUR TRUSTEES. Mr Geo. M. rice, the late clerk to the Harbour Trustees, Was present. The MAYOR (to Mr Morice)—Well, what have you to say ? Mr Monies (to the Mayor)—Nay. What have you to say. I have had a letter from Mr Atwood, and here I am. (A pause.) There is one thing I can never make out. You say I have resigned my office as clerk to the Harbour Trustees, but I never resigned. I never resigned in my life. y Mr THOMAS JONas said—I saw Mr George Morice in North Parade one day, and Mr Morice asked me to carry bis resignation to the Harbour Triyrceeg. At first Irefustd and urged him to attend the meettfg himself, but he refused to do so, and said he wjould neve^attend one of their meet* ings,again. The TOWN CLBRK-Tbere has been a great deal of un. pleasantness with you (Mr Morice). You refused to give information required by the trustees and withheld certain documents until a requisition was signed by several gen- tlemen. You have resigned, and yoar holding the office of clerk is incompatible with the Corporation holding the harbour. I Mr Monics-I claim my salary in full for two years. The TOWN CLICRK-There wa3 more trouble with you over the harbour than over all the other people who had to do with it put together. Mr MOBICE-I did not know before that I was so dangerous. Mr JOHN JAMES—What is it you claim Mr Morice ? Mr MORICE—I want my full salary up to this very day. (Laughter). I also want to see the bank book, on which there are some private memoranda which I can read, but which woukLnot be understood by others. The TOWN CLERK—It seems to me that Mr Morice has given up all his private memoranda and kept all the pub- lic documents. (Laughter.) There was some further conversation as to what amount Mr Morice claimed, and as to whether the documents and plans in his possession were worth anything to the town. Nothing was resolved upon, but it was understood that Mr Morice will take the initiative in legal proceedings to settle the matter in dispute. THE HARBOUR TRUCKS. Mr JOHN JONES (Bridge End) asked if the trucks had been paid for, which had been lent to the Mostyn Coal and Iron Company. The Borough Accountant said he had never heard of the matter before. Mr JONES said there would be B30 or S40 due to the town on that account, and it was understood that the borough accountant would inquire into the matter. FURTHER LOAN. The TOWN CLERK said that in view of the town requir- ing the sum of 21,000 which they had still power to borrow; he had written to his agents to ask whether their clients who'had lent the previous sums would advance the further sum. He had received an answer to the effect that they would lend the additional money. The TowN CLERK was instructed to obtain the £ 1,000. THE YSTRAD MEURIG QUARRY AWARD. The award in the Ystrad Meurig Quarry arbitration was handed to the Mayor, who read the following items. To owner of quarry, £1,126 5s. Mr Szlumper's costs, E52 10s; Mr F. R. Roberts, 226 12s 6d; the umpire's costs, E56 7a 6d; the umpire's solicitor, 213 13s Id; total, 21,275 t's Id. Mr T. GRIFFITHS said they had been told in that room the quarry would not cost more than 000 or £400. The TOWN CLERK said they had also been told in that room that the quarry would cost more than £ 1,000. Mr T. --Can we borrow any more money for the harbour ? The TOWN CLERK—Y s, if you have a great storm which destrovs a portion of the pier. Yo i had better raise the wind at once Mr Griffiths. (Laughter.) Mr G. GREE said he would be glad if he could be told how the Corporation had fallen into that deplorable mess. Mr ATWOOD said one thing which had weighed very considerably with the umpire was that some of the stones from the quarry had been used for curbs and other pur- poses. There were some of the stones to be seen, and very well they looked. The TOWN CLERK said that orders had been given time after time, that the stones from the quarry were not to be used for any other than harbour purpost-0. Mr JAMES paid he had been told that the Corporation would not even, now they had purchased the quarry, be able to age fctones for curbs and other purposes. The TOWN Cunil said the CorpoCatio said that was not a question they need discuss, bat their was no doubt as to the power of ths Corporation over ths quarry. Mr GREEN said be thought some uXplacation should be given how the town had been brought into that mess. He did not think that if the quarry was offered for was that day anybody would offer £50 for it. He did not think the quarry was worth anything for the harbour. Mr PETER .Tons said he thought a resolution passed by the Council answered Mr Green's question. [Mr Jones then read a resolution passed by the Council to enter into treaty to purchase the quarry under the powers granted by the Act.] Mr THOMAS GRIFFITHS said that some of the members of the Council went to look at the quarry, and said it would only cost about £300. Mr GREEN asked why the quarry had not been bought by private treaty. Mr JOHN JAMES said that Mr Green was in favour of purchasing the quarry. Mr GREEN said Mr James was in the habit of saddling him with what did not belong* to him. He had always been in favour of taking the harbour, but not the quarry. Mr PETBR JONES said the matter of psToharing the quarry had gone on regularly from meeting to meeting. If Mr Green would look through the newspapers he would be able to see bow the matter had progressed from stage to .tae. Mr JOHK JONES {Bridge End) did not see why the ques- tion should be discussed, The quarry had been purchased, and everything had been done for the best. Mr ATWOOD said there was one thing he might point out to them in the Act. If they purchased the quarry they were bound to do so within five years. They might have bought it two years too soon, but that was alL Mr T. GRIFFITHS said that the Council had been de- ceived by Mr Atyood and the Town Clerk ia the matter of the quarry. Mr ATWOOD said it was ridiculous to say he had misled the Council. He had never said anything about the quarry until it came before him as an arbitrator. How he had misled the Council was more than he eould see. The TOWN CLERK also repudiated having misled the Council. He had been times without number to Mr F. R. Roberts respecting the sale of the quarry. At last Mr Roberts taid it would be beat to serve the quarry owner with notice, and that was done. Mr PXTSB JONES said the way the quarry had been pur- chased was as fair as eould be. An arbitrator was ap- pointed on each side, and there was iva umpire. What more could be desired he did not know. Mr ATWOOD said that Mr Szlumper insisted that the quarry was worth 210,000 or 212,000. Mr J. P. JONES observed that Mr Szlumper was very kind to the town. Mr PETSB JONES said he supposed Mr Szlumper had to do the best he could for his client. The subject then dropped. QUEEN'S BOAD SHWEK. Mr THOMAS JONBS asked if nothing oould be done to flash the drain ia Queea'8-rosd. There was a depth of eight inches of matter in the drain. It having been suggested that the water from the reser- voir should be brought through the drain, ths SURVEYOB stated that that could not be done easily, as the drain on the Terrace was lower than tha one in Queen's-road. After some further conservation, Mr PETER Jomns pro- posed, and it was seconded and carried, that the matter of the drains should be referred to the Public Works Com- mittee, and that the committee should be empowered to do all that was necessary, BOROUGH suRvzyoVa REPORT. The Surveyor read the following report Gentl«m«n,—I have the honour to report that the whole of the drainage works hitherto ordered to be executed have now been satisfactorily completed, the branch drain through a portion of Chalybeate-terrace, for which directions wera given at your last meeting having been finished on the 23rd inst., I am glad to stale that the houses referred to in my last report have been oonnected with the above mentioned branch drain. The wall which was built on an encroach- ment at the back of the house recently built, and owned by Mrs Margaret Jones, on Victoria-terrace has, conformably with your order, been palled down and rebuilt in its proper place, the admeasurement of the ground to be included in her lease, being new about 95 instead of 109 feet. The proposed road at the back for the use of carriers from the Quarry will in a few days be put in a passable condition. I am given to understand that a certain owner and occu- pier of premises at Trefeohan has not long ago encroached on the harbour property by erecting a wall and enclosing a portion of the ground which adjoins that in his occupa- tion. I shall therefore ask you to refer the subject to the Harbour Committee, before whom full particulars will be laid. Perhaps you will not consider me exceeding my duty when I tell you that the lessees of the corn market in Market-street are demanding and receiving tolls on market days from persons using the footpath abutting the market for the sale of goods, &e. I wish to know whether the lessees are in future to be permitted to continue such obstructions and to derive a source of profit from the use of the footpath which has been made by the Council for quite a diffrrent purpose." Mr JOHN JONES, Bridge*end, moved, and it was carried, that the recommendation respecting the encroachment should be adopted. STBBBT OBSTRUCTIONS. The HuoR said that he had been with Mr Superintend- ent Lloyd to the man who sold crockery on the footpath near the Corn Market. The man said he paid a fee of 5s per week to the Market Hall Company, who claimed the site as belonging to the Market Ball Company, Mr GRIFFITHS said that ground was the property of the Market Hall Company. They had it in their lease. The land belonged to Nanteos. Mr ATWOOD said that putting land In a lease did not make it the property of the persons who held the lease. Whatever rights Nanteos had formerly possessed over the land they had been lost yean aad yesrs ago. The TOWN CLERK said the only way the right could have been preserved would have been for the owner* to have put up posts and rails. Mr ATWOOD said that Mr Thomas Griffiths would soon be claiming the portion of the street on which he placed bis boxes. Mr GRIFFITHS said he did not put any boxes out. Mr ATWOOD said that Mr Griffiths was the most notorious obstructor in the town. Mr GRIFFITHS said that the obstruction caused by the man who sold crockery on Mondays was only for a short time. They would fight the town on the question it he was interfered with. Mr PHILIP WILLIAMS said they ought to give the country people as much power to do business as they could. Until the town had a market he did not see how they could clear the streets. Mr J OHN JAMES said it was very unfair to the tradesmen in the town to allow a man like the one who sold crockery to injure the tradesmen who paid rates and taxes. Mr Jones, North-parade, and Mr Morris were fined for ob. structing the streets, but all Bridge-street was obstructed with carts. The question was whether it was right to summon people for leaving carriages out and then to allow others to block up the streets. It had been agreed at one time that empty carts should be put in High-street. It seemed to him that the question was one for the magistrates and the police. Mr ATWOOD said that there was one good reason why the footpath in Market-street should be cleared. If they did not clear the path they might ultimately give a right. Mr GRIFFITHS said that was the reason they stuck to it. The TOWN CLERK was of opinion that if the thing was done for a hundred years it would not give anyone a private right in a public thoroughfare. Mr J. R. JvNES said nobody complained of the obstruc- tion. It affecttd him as much as anyone and he was quite willing to put up with it. It was proposed and seconded that the street should be cleared. Mr THOMAS GRIFFITHS then moved, and Mr J. R. JONES seconded that the town should not interfere with the way business was done. For the amendment there voted MrT. Griffiths, Mr J. R Jones, Mr P. Williams. Mr John Jones, shoemaker, Mr John Rees, and Mr T. H. Jones. For the resolution there voted Mr J. Jones, Bridge end, Mr John James, Mr Peter Jones, Mr Green and Mr Thofl. Davies. The amendment was carried. The MAYOR—It is clear the police and magistrates must interfere. Mr T. GRIFFITHS—We will fight you to the teeth on this question. Mr PETER JONES (to Mr Griffiths)-I suppose you are now speaking as a joint lessee of the market. (Laughter.) Mr GRIFFITHS-Ye, Talk about obstructions, look at the town allowing Cheap John out there. SEVERAL VOICEs-He is not allowed by the town, but is on Mr Thomas Davies's ground. (Laughter, amid which Mr Griffiths sat down.) ARE MARIONETTES IMMORAL? The proprietor of a marionette show appeared and asked if he might have the honour of announcing a night under the patronage of the Mayor and Corporation. Mr PHILIP WILLIAMS asked what it was good for-was it good for morals. The Proprietor was asked if his marionettes were im- moral, and, somewhat perplexed, said they were waxwork Mr PETER JONES said he was astonished that Mr Philip Williams as a Good Templar and one who desired to take men from public houses should object to sirrple entertain- ments which were greatly needed in the town. He moved that the request made should be granted. The MAYOR said deacons from a chapel had been there. One of the testimonials was from a vicar. Mr PHILIP WILLIAMS loudly protested against the re- solution, but, in the confusion at the time, it was im- possible to say whether he moved an amendment. The resolution was carried, and it was understood that the aldermen would be left out, the show being under the patronage of the Mayor and Councilmen. PROSPECT OF MORE LITIGATION. A. notice was received from Mr Griffith Jones, solicitor, stating th1. he ilit-rided to serve notices upon the Corpor- ation respecting some of the men who had contracted for Fevers, Th,: TOWN CLERK, MR ATWOOD, aiul others, expressed that the contracts were clear, and that the contractors had no chance. Mr PKTER .TONK^ s<»irt th »t in Mr Morris's cise the same degree ofoir^iuty waa I'X.mi-scd. lie moved that the matter should be referred t) the Public Works Com. mitter, and that the contractors and tha late surveyor, should meet the committee, who would report upon the whole proceedings at the next meeting of the Council. Mr 1. P. JONES seconded the motion, which was carried, an amendment, moved by Mr GREEN, that the proceedings should be al10\ved to goo on, not hfins; s. c >rided. PERAMBULATION OF THE BOUNDARIES. The TOWN CLERK said, ai they knew, the perambulation of the boundaries was fixed for Friday week, the 11th, He had writien to Mr Parry and Mr G. T. Smith. Mr Parry said be was too weak to go round. It was stated that Mr G. T. Smith fcadtakm and accurate noUa of ihe last perambnlatioa, »nd a no* wa? expressed tbailif>might find them and be there.. go The hour agreed upon was ten o'clock in the naon,II>B' Craiglais point. A dinner was talked about, bat w" decidcd. The MAYOR said there was a good deal of gruB* about the bill for the last dinner, and if there WMO 000 time, he would pay for his own. THB WATBB 8UPPI1Y. Mr GBBRH esked Mr John Jones, Bridge-end, #9 the CW» vener of the Public Works Committee whether t going to do anything about the water works, or it wm tu be left to any individual- mynliw of Mr JOHK JONIS said he was not aware that any committees originated movements, or took the wot kg. If anything was referred to them by the Coancw then they did their bast, and wported upon it. The MAYOB said He waa told there was an ampte snpF' of water now near Yatrad Meurig. > Mr GRBEN was understood to say that there W enough there.

J Mrs Herbert, Mill-street, and Mrs Pfcosbe Thooofts» I fectioner, North Parade, pleaded poverty, and asked to excused from the payment of rates due. The stun due WrJ the parties was aboat £ 5 in one case, and about other. Mr ATWOOB said there was no power to excuse the in the case of an owner of property. The only way be to subset ibe the money out of their own pockets. « It was understood that distress warrants would ha* take their case, but a strong feeling was expressed ill&y allowing people of this class to get so deeply into arrest»
