Pierce (L.), and John Davies (L.) have been re- turned unopposed to fill the vacancies on tbe Council caused bv the elevation cf Council- lors E. Hughes (L.) and J. P. Gregory (C.) to the aldermanic bench. During the early part of last week it looked as though a fierce contest would take place in the Western Ward, Messrs Pierce, J. Pritchard (C.), and M.T. Morris being nominated. On Thurs- day, however, the last two withdrew, and allowed Mr Pierce a walk over. Mr Pierce was before a member of the Council, and the duties, therefore, will not be new to him. In the Eastern Ward no one was nominated in opposition to Mr John Davies, though it was rumoured that Mr J. Issard Davies would be the probable Conservative candi- date. On Thursday, the day fixed for the nomination in the Eastern Ward, Mr Davies was busily canvassing the town liberties, and was not aware that there was no opposi- tion to his candidature until some time after five o'clock. The same day Mr J. R. Hughes cendered his resignation, and paid the fine of £ 1.

Deputations were appointed to wait upon the several gen- tlemen named, and the result of their inter- views was communicated to an adjourned meeting held on Wednesday night. Messrs T. Hughes (Barranoo) and Henry Thomas (architect) expressed their willingness to contest the seat, but Mr D. T. Edwards de- clined to have his name put forward. A bal- lot upon the first two resulted in the selec- tion of Mr Hughes by a majority of three.

Proposed Light Railway for Deiniolen. I A proposal which has excited considerable interest in the district has been mooted to construct a light railway to the populous district f Ebenezer. In order to discuss. the preliminaries of the scheme a public meet- ing was held on Friday evening, at Deiniol- en Schoolroom, under the presicfency of the Rev James Silt, vicar of Llandlnorwic. Amongst those present was a deputation from the Bangor City Council,, composed of the Mayor (Mr J. E. Roberts), Alderman Savage, and Councillor Dyi'd Owen. Al- derman Grey Edwards had been appointed member of the deputation, but he could not attendv Mr Ellis Roberts was also present to represent Portdinorwic.. The Chairman having briefly explained the purpose of the meeting, Mr Owen Pierce proposed a resolution favouring the movement, and expressing; every readiness to support the same. This was seconded by Mr- J. Jones, Fron- deg, and carried unanimously. Mr E. R. Davies, solicitor, and town clerk of Pwllheli, then addressed the meet- ing, and explained the chief provisions of the Light Railway Act, showing how to proceed in the matter, &c. After Mr Henry Parry, JJP., had made a few remarks, The Mayor of Bangor addressed the meet- ing. He said that he was in that room about twelve years ago, when there was a movement on foot to secure a "broad gauge railway" for the district However, that I movement fell through, as did another which was started about four years ago. Now, it being their third attempt, it might possibly turn out a success. Since the time he referred to, Parish and Districts Councils had come into existence, and the people had more opportunities to express their opinion on public matters. They would Succeed to secure a light railway if they could make out a strong case in its favour. One reason why the movement was brought forward was the great cost of conveying goods to the district at the pre- sent time; it ought also be kept in mind that the district was increasing in its popubv- tion. The deputation from Bangor had not come there for any selfish motive to recom- mend them to run the proposed railway to that city. They appealed to the inhabit- ants of the district to consider and discuss the advantages of various places that had been named, viz., Carnarvon, Portdinorwic, and Bangor. His advice to them was rot to be too hasty with the matter. He sup- ported the claims of Bangor on account of its being a rapidly increasing town, afford- ing exceptional educational facilities, and advantages for the transport of merchan- dise, &c., through its situation on the Chester and Holyhead Railway. Mr Ellis Roberts, Portdinorwic, also ad- vocated the claims of the latter place, on the ground of the facilities afforded for the cheap transit of goods by sea,. Mr David Owen, Bangor, in the course of his remarks said that they should try to bring about the railway in the cheapest way, and at the same time in the most advan- tageous way to their district. He dealt upon the claims of Bangor, and those of other places, and said that if they should decide to run the train to Bangor, he could assure them that the Bangor City Council would do its utmost to support them. Alderman Savage thpn addressed the meeting, and endorsed Mr Owen's remarks with regard to the statement that the Ban- gor City Council would give them every support if they were to connect the line with that place. The Rev D. H. Williams proposed a vote of thanks to Mr E. R. Davies, the deputa- tion from Bangor, and Mr Ellis Roberta for their presence at the meeting. Mr Henry Parry seconded, and it vas carried unanimously. On the motion of the Rev D. H. Wil- liams it was decided to ask the local repre- sentatives on the Parish, District, and County Councils to meet in order to appoint a representative committee, and that a fund should be opened to meet the expendi- ture in connection with making a survey of the proposed route.
