It said much for his filial piety and tenderness of heart that all pres- ent at the funcnil of Albert the Good were deeply I inored by tho in con sola bie s>.rrcw of his sons. The Pr!v of Wales, of course, was the chief mourner in St. G«orge't Uhapel, Windsor, two days before Christinas in the year 1861. At> he stcou nt the grave-side," wrote an t-ye-witepse. looking down with hands clasped, ail his fortitude deserted him, 84)4 he burst into a flood of tears, covering up hie face," until he was led away by the Lord Chamber- lain. Of THE EAST, Shortly before the Prince Consort had fallen ill, he had written to his friend Stockmar that, after the Prince of Wales's time was up at Cambridge, which it would be at Christmas, it was his desire to travel, "and we have gladly assented to his proposal to visit the Holy Land." The word propowd "is interesting as showing that the initiative to this tour in the East came from the youthful Prince him- Belf, who was now twenty and he had now an ad- ditional reason for carrying out his seheme of travel, seeing that his mind and heart required distraction from the filial sorrow to which they h' become a prey. Accordingly, in the early spring In 1862, the Prince, accompanied by General Bruce, Major Tees- dale, Captain Keppel, and a small suite started for Alexandria where he was joined by Dr. (afterwards Dean) Stanley, who had already been to Jerusalem, and was to act as archaeological guide and lecturer to his Royal Highness. The Prince," wrote General Bruce, takes great delight in the new world on which he has entered, and Dr. Stanley is a great acquisition." On the other hand, Dr. Stanley wrote, it is im- possible not to like him, and to be constantly with I him brings out his astonishing memory of names and persons. I am more and more struck by the amiable and endearing qualities of the Prince. H.R.H. has laid himself down a rule that there was to be no shooting to-day (Sunday), and though he was sorely tempted, as we passed flocks of cranes and geese seated on the bank in the most inviting crowds, he rigidly conformed to it a crocodile was allowed to be a legitimate exception, but none appeared. He sat alone on the deck with me, talking in the frankest manner for an hour in the afternoon, and made the most reasonable and proper remarks on the due ob- servance of Sunday in England." This was on the Prince's progress up the Nile to Cairo, where he was received with royal state by the Viceroy, Nubar Pasha, after which he proceeded to Thebes, Memphis, Karnak, and the Pyramids-the greatest of which he ascended—much to the amaze- ment of the Bedouins, who asked sceptically," Is that the Governor ? If so, why does he go alone P" The royal party went up the Nile as far as the first cataract viewing the temple at Esneh by torchlight, and exr ling all the antiquities at Assouan, and wit- nessing a tournament between some Arnauts and Arab et- it Is. At the end of March the travellers reached Pales- tine and proceeded to Jerusalem, this being the first time that the Holy City had been visited by the heir to the English throne since the days of Edward I. and Richard Lion-Heart, in whose footsteps the Prince of Wales, escorted by a picturesque troop of Turkish Cavalry,' now advanced to view the scenes which had been consecrated by the presence and the sufferings of the Saviour of men. H.R.H., who had pitched his tent on the northern side of the city near the Damascus Gate, was deegly interested and moved by all he saw and all he heard from the lips of Dr. Stanley and with him for a companion he visited all the sacred places, even those which had re- mained closed to Christians for several hundred years: the Mosque of Hebron, for example, of which the Turkish Guardian said that for no one, but the eldest son of the Queen of England, would he have allowed the gate to be opened indeed the Princes of any other nation would have had to pass over his body before doing so. With that thoughtful con- sideration for others which has ever distinguished him, the Prince had stipulated that his learned com- panion should have the same privilege as himself and on thanking H.R.H. for having procured him this great opportunity, the latter replied, High station, you see, sir, has after all some merits, some advantages." Yes, sir," replied the Doctor, and I hope you will always make a good use of it." The royal party returned home by way of Damas- cus, Beyrout, Tyre and Sidon, Tripoli, Pataioe, Eph^sus, Smyrna, Constantinople, Athens, and Malta, and the torn; ended at Marseilles, whence the Prinee paid a visit to the French Emperor at Fon- tainebleau, and then repaired to Windsor to give his royal mother an account of his travels. The Prince had returned home greatly improved both in body and mind, and lie was now on the threshold of a vigorous and promising manhood. By this time the White Lodge in Richmond had been exchanged as his residence for Marlborough House in Pall Mall while out of the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, which his father had so carefully hus- banded for him during his minority, he had, for the sum of X220,000, purchased the fine estate of Sand- ringham in Norfolk. But what was the use of these two splendid palaces—one a town, the other a coun- try houee-without a wife to share his felicity in then f

I Bangor and Bsanmaris Guardians. The fortnightly mating was held on I hriclay, Mr Hugh Thomas (chairman) pre- siding. FINANCIAL. The Clerk (Mr R. B. Evans) reported that the amount due that day to the Union was R163 16s Id.—A quar- terly bill amounting to JE350, in respect of tfyj Denbigh Asylum, was ordered to be paid. LLANGRISTIOLUS AND ITS LATE RATE COLLECTOR.—The Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board, stating that the assistant district auditor, Mr Pugh Jones, had certified that £ 72 8s Od was due from Hugh Griffith, late assistant overseer for the parish of Llangristiolus, and the Department desired the observations of the Guardians upon the report of the district auditor on the subject, especially with regard to the bond.. The district auditor (Mr William Griffith, Colwyn Bay) had reported' that he under- stood, after making inquiries, that the Guardians did not propose to take any action with the view of enforcing the bond. He further reported that Hugh Griffith had been committed to gaol for three months. The recently appointed col- lector had experienced difficulty in collect- ing tM rates, because the ratepayers thought that the deficiency in Hugh Grif- fith's accounts was included in the rate.— The Chairman declared that the auditor was certainly wrong in some remarks, and why he should have gone out of his way to point them out to the Local Government Board he did not know. Perhaps these defalcations would not have occurred had the accounts of Hugh Griffith been officially examined. As regarded the allegation that the present collector experienced diffi- culty in obtaining the rates, he (the Chairman) did not think such was the case, neither were the ratepayers under the impression that Hugh Griffith's de- ficiency was included in the present rate. That deficiency had been collected a long time ago, and it was at the expressed wish of the parishioners of Llangristiolus that the Guardians did not proceed against the existing securities.—Mr Hughie Jones, as the Guardian for the parish, stated that at a recent meeting he had informed the Board that the parishioners were willing to allow the matter to remain unaltered, but he could answer for no person other than himself. It appeared by this time that the opinion of the parishioners had changed, and certain ratepayers, very im- portant and influential persons, were of opinion that the securities should be pro- ceeded against.—Mr Robert Hughes (Llaji- fairfechan) asked if the bonds had been enforced.—The Chairman No, and I think that some of the heaviest ratepayers do not wish to enforce them, because the per- sons who acted as securities might he ruined.—Dr Roberts considered that the Board should receive an authorised version of the feelings of the parish. He thought the securities should be proceeded against, otherwise what were they good for (hear, hear). The Chairman said that many parties in the parish were willing to go into their own pockets to avoid action being taken against the securities. Mr D. G. Davies thought the Board was bound to proceed against the sureties. The Clerk: I don't think you are bound. In the case of the Bangor rate-collector's de- falcations many years ago, you did not do it. Mr Harry Clegg: What is the use of having securities if we do not take proceed- ings where defalcations have taken place ? I think we should proceed unless there is substantial ground to act otherwise. Mr Thomas Edwards was of opinion that the views of the whole of the ratepayers should be ascertained. Mr Hughie Jones did not favour the adoption of strict measures. — Dr Roberts pointed out that no man should become a surety unless he was able to fulfil the obligations (hear, hear). The Rev W. Morgan, St. Ann's, expressed the opinion that people signed documents to become sureties in a friendly sort of way, without attaching the least importance to what they had done. There was a good deal in what the chairman had said, and there might be a disposition in the parish not to press hardly upon the sureties, who might be ruined. Mr Hughie Jones said that if action were taken the two sureties would be ruined. Mr Robert Hughes moved that the matter be deferred for a fortnight, in order that the view of the Parish Council might be ascertained. As an amendment, Mr Harry Olegg pro- posed that the Board make application to

_=-F- Bangor County Court. MONDAY.—Before His Honour Judge Sir tio Lloyd. A RUNNING DOWN CASE. T. I) a vies, car proprietor,Kyffin»Seuare,uei: I'u-.varu Llojd, a. coachman in the employ of Lord Penrhyn, for tl. Mr S. R. Dew, ior the plaintiff, stated that on November 11th, last year, two boys were proceeding up High street in charge of a small car, and close to Messrs Vallance's establish- ment there was a cart standing on the op- posit-e side of the road, which at that part was very narrow. The defendant was driv- ing a pair vr horses, to which was attached a brake, and they were proceeding in the direction of the railway station. Instead ot stopping to wait until the plaintiff's car had passed the other vehicle, standing on thef opposite side, the defendant tried to force his way through, the consequencc be- ing that he ran into the plaintiff's car, wliicli was forced on the pavement, and the shafts were broken. The defendant must have seen the position of the matters, as he was driving in the direction of the plain- tiffs car, so he could sec what was before him. This version was corroborated by a number of witnesses, and, it was also stated that the defendant did not take any notice of the; accident.—The defendant said that he was at the time of the alleged accident driving at a "steady London pace"—about seven miles an hour, and the street at that part was quite wide enough for three carriages. About ten yards in. front of him he saw a little bov who was with the car, and he called out to his brother, who, thereupon, turned round, and the wheel of the car struck against the side of the pave- ment. What happened afterwards he did not know. Julian Chandler, stud groom, Penrhyn Castle, gave testimony to the effect that the boy pulled up, and the wheels of the car struck the kerbstone. The wart of the sand in the cart broke the shaft. He was certain that the brake never touched the plaintiff's car.—In entering judgment for the plaintiff with costs, his Honour ex- pressed the wish that all collision cases might be as simple as this one. SEQUEL TO AN ALLEGED FORGERY. Mr Dew referred to a case in which the plaintiffs were William Owen and Richard Hughes, two working men. These men were employed by a. man named Davies, who was a plasterer, and this person was employed as a sub-contractor to Mr Erasmus Jones, who was building houses at Bethesda. The two plaintiffs brought an action against Da- vies to recover the money due to them from the plaintiff, and they obtained judgment on November 19th last. In the meantime, they discovered that there was money due by Mr Erasmus Jones to Davies for work that he had done under the sub-contract, and the amount of the money due from him was JE17. As a matter of fact, Mr Erasmus Jones had given a cheque to Davies for JL17, but though the cheque was payable to Davies there was an agreement by which the cheques payable to him were given to Mr T. J. Williams, and he could not obtain the money unless Mr T. J. Williams en- dorsed the cheque. In respect of the £ 17 cheque which "was handed to Davies, drawn in the name of Mr T. J. Williams, it was alleged that Davies had forged the en- casement of Mr Williams. Prima facie, it was a debt due by Mr Erasmus Jones for woirk done by Davies, who was entitled to the money.—Upon his Honour's suggestion, the case was adjourned for a month, until the charge of Xirgery against Davies had t!1 been decided. A TRADESMAN AND HIS APPRENTICE An action was heard in which David Pritchard, barber, Dean street, claimed £ 5 from David Edwards, Druid Inn, Dean st. -Mr S. R. Dew, for the plaintiff, stated that the defendant was the guardian cf a boy named Lemuel Templeton, who was ap- prenticed to his client. He, however, broke hiS indenture. The plaintiff stated that he warned the boy not to interfere with a hone, which he valued at 15s, but he broke it, and he was told to inform, his mother of the occurrence. Some time afterwards, Mrs Edwards advised witness, in order that he might be paid for, to deduct its value frcti the boy's wages, which at the tim< were Is 6d weekly.—In answer to Mr Thorn- ton Jones, who appeared for the defend- ant, who counterclaimed for 12s wages due, the plaintiff said that a solicitor's clerk named Williams drew up the agreement. Why was this hedge lawyer asked to do this r-Witn088: To save expenses which the defendant vould have to pay. He had

Are Otsters Refreshments? AMUSING CASE. On Monday, at the Carnarvon Police Court, before the Mayor Mr W. J. Wil- liams). Mr Edward Hughes, and Dr Parry, the police summoned N. Samuels, an oyster saloon keeper, for opening his premises for the sale of refreshments after eleven o'clock on the night of the 2nd instant. Two police constables having given eviderce to support the charge, the defendant provoked some amusement by reading over to the Court more than once the contents of the sum- mons, concluding with the contention tha.t oysters were not refreshments, but a tonic recommended by the medical faculty for weak people (laughter).—Dr Parry (a magis- trate) Then you say that the premises were open not for the sale of refreshment", but of medicine?—Defendant: Yes, sir; first cf all, is oyster refreshments? (laughter). He went on to say that he had ilived in the town foi seventeen years, and had never serr-sd oysters after hours. On the night in ques- tion he was merely sending out oysters for some sick people. He gave the Bench to understand that if he was fined it would be a reflection on all the refreshment houses in the town (laughter).—Dan Kelly, a hair- dresser, d that he called upon the (I T»sidant at 11.10 on the night in qtuition I business, and remained for twenty miri-nto?.
