NOTES BY THE MAN ABOUT TOWN." I am glad to hear that Rhyl has not had such a had season after all. Not so bad compared with many other places, and to my astonishment I find two of the nobility have been or are on the parade. The man about Town greets the knight and the earl. No doubt they have rpad the Notes with great pleasure and profit. If he could give each of them a lock of his hair he would do so but so many people are waiting for the same favour, he must deny himself the pleasure of offering the same to the aforesaid earl and knight. Historical names have they both long may they live and prosper, and come again to Rhyl, and may I be there to see them and dine with them if the heavens so order. Somebody told me the other day there was an opening in Rhyl for a good doctor if only he were a Dissenter. It seems almost all the doctors here go to Church because it is respectable, and some of the lawyers and bankers do the same. Now being a Churchman myself I would advise a first rate doctor of medicine to come here and not come to Church as a speculation, but first try the old fashioned practice of sticking to his principles and see if it would not pay ever so well, in the long run. A new minister has come among us from Llandudno. He preached last Sunday and preached well. The man about Town" will have a word of advice to give him some of these days. Somebody told me he is an out and out thorough going preacher, who sticks to his principles through thick and thin, not a mealy mouthed philanthropist like some people I could name. Welcome to Rhyl. Bicycles beware! The other night I was Walking along the street in profound thought on the subject of matrimony, for being a bachelor, I am taking obser- vations walking along, slowly and silently picturing to myself the bliss of a nice little wife and a cottage near a wood; the joy of having someone to speak with about all our troubles; the joy of going out arm in arm, and so being doubly armed against all trials thinking as I walked about how I could pay rent and taxes and butchers and bakers and tailors and church collections all out of my meagre income, when, hark! what is that ?-a young fellow comes suddenly on my heels with his wheels, and almost peels my aforesaid heels. He pulled up all of a sudden and pulled down more of a sudden. It was almost a catastrophe on both sides. So my young friends, take care, or you may one day run over The Man About Town," and squelch him, and what a calamity that would be for us all. The town would go into mourning for a feW hours at least. I am sorry to find two drapers are leaving town, one for Mold, another for Chester. The man about Town knows them well and they known him and he is right sorry to lose such fine young men from among us. The towns they go to will be all the better for them and we all the worse. That's how it is all the plucky young fellows go off and leave us Blow coaches in the mud. I was glad to know that the Rev. Aaron Francis is preaching again with vigour and much acceptance. I wish the grand old veteralt preacher and letter in our battles for freedom a lengthened and happy life. „ Strange spectacle. Whom should I see the other day walking along moodily but three black crows of the Stupid Party. Noted blusterers they squirted out renom against progress. But now creditors have come down upon them and the world has dealt hardly with them. Alas poor Yorick, is that the end of all human greatness. The ass once upon a time found a lion skin and went forth bravely, &c., &c. Here endeth the second lesson. Wonder of wonders. Last Saturday, your Tory contemporary had a letter pitching into Mr Raikes speech. So it seems even his own party is disgusted with the silly old man or does it mean that the Tory paper is again turning its sails for Liberal favours.' It won't do my changeable friend. Keep among your own people. The tide is turning fast H gainst you and as you have made your bed you must lie on it.

RHYL COUNTY COURT. YESTERDAY, (Friday).—Before Horatio Lloyd, Esq., judge. The number of plaints entered was 199, and there 20 other cases set down for hearing. Most of the cases were settled before the Registrars Messrs. R. F. Sisson & Oliver George,tor before they were called on. REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE REGISTRAR'S DECISION. Mr Riley, from St. Hellens, applied to his honour to grant him immediate judgement in a case against a man named Evans, who was a farmer. The amount was 210 11s. and the registrar, (Mr Sisson) had ordered it to be paid in two monthly instalments. Evans had offered to pay so often that the plaintiff refused to accept such a mode of payment.—His honour: Have you reason to suppose defendant would leave the country, or that you won't get your money. Mr Riley-Well your honour he has promised to pay so often that I think he ought now to be made to pay at once.—His honour If the registrar has made the order to pay in two months,I will not alter it,unless you see cause to suspect he is going to do something that will deprive you of the money.—Mr Riley I have, and very strong reason to believe that there will be something done before then, and I will not get anything.—His honour: Then you must make an affidavit to that effect.—Mr Riley: Will you make the order to pay in a month ?-His honour: Certainly not I w 11 not interfere with the decision of the regis- trar. JUDGMENT SUMMONSES. u Keneth M'Ewen v. William Evans, quarry- man, Llanddulas. Ordered to pay in two months, or 14 days imprisonment. Messrs Sisson and George v. Urias Jones, Vale Road. This was a case in which the above firm of Solicitors sued for the hearing fees in an interpleader case tried last May. Judgment went against the defendant (who was the exec- uting breditor) and he was ordered to pay the crsts of the action. He had been written to several times, but he said he would not pay, and he disputed his liability. Defendant was not in court. After hearing the evidence of Mr. Owen, clerk in the employ of Messrs. Sisson and George, His Honour directed payment at the rate of 10s. a month. APPLICATION FOR THE REPAYMENT OF FEES. Mr. Miles R. Partington, Secretary to the Rhyl Gas Company, applied for the remission of the hearing fees in the case of the Company v. Abel Jones. The case was entered for the last court, but was adjourned, and since then the debtor has filed his petition to liquidate his affairs by arrangement. Mr Partington respect- fully applied to the court for the return hearing fees. His Honour said he could not do so, as it would establish a disagreeable precedent. CLAIM FOR RENT. The Manchester and Southport Building So. ciety sued Reuben Jackson fer 1;1 15s rent of a cottage situate in Newtown, Vale Road. Mr. Webb appeared for the plaintiffs, who were re- presented by Mr A. W. Dew, their agent. De- fendant disputed the ownership of the property, and said that he had already paid the rent to another party. Mr Webb said that the plain- tiffs w,ere the mortgagees to the property, and under the deed of mortgage they had taken « possession of the property on account of the f1?fiira^0r man named Thomas Aston) not filling tbe terms of the mortgage. Notice was served ou defendant in December last to pay the rent to the plaintiffs, but as the mort- gager had paid up the arrears, the notice was withdrawn. Aston a second time fell into arrears, and in March last notice was again served on the tenants to pay their rent to the Society. Jackson had refused to pay, hence these proceedings. Mr Dew called and proved serving the notice at defendant's residence. Mr Herbert Higson, Secretary to the Society, pro- duced the deeds of the property. He said that Messrs Heather and Co were appointed agents to collect the rents, but they had failed and Heather had absconded, and the Society could not get any satisfactory explanation as to what rent was paid to that firm. The Society now sued for rent from the 15th June last, and would willingly give that up if Jackson would promise to leave the house. His Honour put to Jackson whether he would accept those con. ditions, but he declined. Jackson produced a receipt for rent and said that there was none due when the summons was taken out. He had paid the rent to a Miss Froggatt, who had a second charge on the property. His Honour said that the plaintiffs were clearly entitled to the rents of the property, and gave a verdict accordingly. The defendant had paid the rent to another person in the teeth of a notice from the mort- gagee, and it would be for him to get his money back from the people he had paid it to. ANOTHER CLAIM FOR RENT. In this case, Charles Keith, proprietor of a circus, was summoned by the Rhyl Winter Gar. den Company for rent of field. Mr Devine, the Secretary, appeared for the Company, and Mr John Keith (brother to the defendant) appeared for the defence. The claim was for rent of a field near the Gardens, which was taken by de. fendant in August last, and for which an agree- ment had been signed. The defence was that the field was totally unfit to erect a circus on, and that as it was not in good condition the de. fendant was not liable for the rent. Mr Devine said he had no notice whatever from the defen- dant that the field was not wanted. It was in good order and with the exception of one part of it, fairly dry. His Honour held as there was no condition about the state of the field in the agreement, a verdict must be given for plaintiffs. Mr Devine did ask for costs. A "SHARP" DEFENDANT, Mr R H Jones summoned John Ellis for £4 due to him as trustee to the estate of Isaac Roberts, butcher, Queen-street, Rhyl. Mr W Davies appeared for plaintiff. Mr Davies said that Isaac Roberts bad filed his petition in liquidation and the collection of his debts had become the duty of the trustee.—Isaac Roberts swore the money was due. It was for the loan of a pony to defendant. Defendant agreed to pay 30s a week for the loan of a pony, and he had it twelve weeks. He had k8 on account.— Defendant said he had been wrongly summoned. He handed the particulars up to His Honour, and they stated it was for butcher's meat. The defendant-I ask you to dismiss the case. I ha,ve been wrongly summoned. I vi ant the case dis- missed. (Laughter, in which his honour joined.) The Judge—We will amend the summons. The Defendant—Then I am not prepared to defend the case. His Honour said that plaintiff knew what he was sued for. On its being put to the defendant whether he whuld have the case heard now, be declined to proceed with it. His Honour adjourned the case till the next court, so that the summons might be amended by both parties, as the plaintiff had sued for i:6 too little. SMITH V. CONWAY. This was an action brought by Mr G. T Smith, for whom Mr E. Roberts appeared, as trustee in the liquidation of Robert Conway, a cousin of defendant. Mr Armor, auctioneer, Denbigh, sold the defendant at the sale of Robert Conway effects two fields of hay for £5 10s. and t2 10s. respectively. The conditions were that all the lots sold would be at the risk of the buyer. Mr E. Roberts appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Webb for defendant. After hearing the evi- dence on both sides, His Honour adjourned the case to the next court, in order that Mr Armor might be consulted in the matter. ev LARGE V. SOUTH. Mr Thomas Large sued Mrs Georgina South- for the sum of 2,5 6s for work done in decorat ing her house. After plaintiff had done his work, he at her request putt in a stronger glass in the windowb. Mr Vaughan, builder, was with plaintiff when he agreed for prices. Mr R. E. Hughes said he could get a part of the money if pi an tiff allowed him something.—Mr Webb appeared for plaintiff.—Mr Edward Roberts nspeared for dcfcllclalJt, and contended that the cheque was stopped payment in consequence of the misrepresentation made by the plaintiff. In answer to Mr Roberts, plaintiff said he did not agree to put in plate-glass. Mr Vaughan (the contractor) Was supeoned,but he did not appear. -Mr R. E. Hughes, surveyor, said he let the contract for building of the property to Mr E. Vaughan, including everything save the paper- ing and the tiles. He advised Mrs South to have plate glass in the windows, that she might have them insured. The plaintiff had put in 32 ounce crown glass, consequently it could not be insured. A letter was read in which Mr Hughes remarked that the claim ought to be paid, and that Mrs South had better sue the contractor. Judgment for plaintiff. DAVIES V. PIERCE. Mr G. T. Smith, (who is the trustee for the estate of William Davies, butcher), sued Robert Pierce for £1, for rent. Defendant as a set off argued that the house was not fit to live in. —Case non-suited. JONES V. YOUNG. David Jones, Kinmel, claimed from George Young, the sum of 16s. for grass for his pony. Judgment for 12s. WILLIAMS V. ROBERTS Richard Williams, grocer, Wellington-road, claimed from Jane Roberts, Back Royal Oak the sum of 23 2s for groceries. Defendant appeared and said she could not pay, and that plaintiff ought to have given her a book but plaintiff said that she never asked for one. —His honour: You will have to pay. Judg- gmene for plaintiff. CLAIM FOR A SUIT OF CLOTHES. John Lewis, tailor, Abergele, sued Joseph Hughes, Llandudno, for £ 414s balance of an old account and claim for a suit of clothes.—His honour gave judgment for plaintiff.

FLINTSHIRE LIBERALS AT LLAN- DUDNO. MR. JOHN ROBERTS, M.P., ON LIBERAL PROSPECTS IN NORTH WALES. Following an example now so commonly set by political organisations, of both colours, the members of the Holywell and Greenfield Liberal Association on Monday last took train for the pleasant water- ing place of Llandudno, where business and pleasure were happily combined in connection with the excur- sion arrangments. The vitality of the young association, which has only been about a year in existence, was shown by the fact that upwards of 800 members and female friends started about eight o'clock from the Holywell station for the scene of the day's out." The party was accompanied by the Bagillt Industrial Brass Band, which greatly enlivened the day's proceedings by a choice selection of music. At two o'clock a public meeting of the members of the association (who also invited the presence of Llan- dudno Liberals) was held in St. George's Hall Mostyn street, which was crowded by a most enthusiastic audience. Mr Adam Eyton presided. Mr S. Roberts, in the absence of Dr. Thomas, chair- man of the Llandudno Liberal Association, having congratulated the Holywell Liberals upon the recent victory in the county of Flint, and welcomed them to the beautiful watering place, briefly adverted to the very promising prospects of the Liberals of Car- narvonshire in view of the coming general election. The Rev. Lloyd Jones, also welcomed the associa- tion to Llandudno, and remarked that the object of the Conservative Government was to make enemies and murderous quarrels. The hope of Liberalism was in the working man, who he hoped would be true to the interest of social and-religious eqnality. (Hear.) IHe hoped Denbighshire and Carnarvonshire would follow the example of the Flintshire boroughs and send to Parliament not a milk and water Liberal, but one who was true to the core. (Applause.) Mr John Roberts, M.P., who was received with loud cheers, said that he was very glad of the oppor- tunity of meeting so many of his constituents under such pleasant circumstances. He had been asked by the committee to deliver an address, and, although he was most happy to fall in with such a request, he felt that it would be absolutely cruel were he to detain them by a speech, when they were met to spend a pleasant and enjoyable day in this the queen of Welsh watering places. In meeting the Holywell and Greenfield Liberal Association at Llandudno he was reminded of a somewhat similar excursion which took place that day fortnight, when the Conservative men, women, and children of Chestei-- (laughter) flocked to Rhyl to listen to the eloquence of their favour ite Conservative member, Mr Raikes. Now, the long and rather plaintive speech delivered by Mr Raikes at Chester had alread been so strongly animadverted upon, and so pitilessly ridiculed by the public press, that he felt that in answering it he might be likened to killing the slain. (Hear, hear.) Mr Raikes spoke in very "high fault terms when he said that it was his duty, as chairman of committees in the House of Commons, to stem the tide of anarchy and disorder in the house, for, although he had proved himself a very able and fair chairman, and had in that capacity won the respect and earned the support of the mem- bers of the house, it was for the eletors of Chester to decide if they were to sacrifice their political convictions to fihd an efficient Conservative chairman of committees for the House of Commons, remmber- ing the fact that Chester already sent to Parlia- ment one gentleman who had efficiently served that position before and was able and .'willing to do so again if not called to fill a still higher office. (Hear, hear.) Although he would not dwell at length upon the random and incoherent assertions made by Mr Raikes in his violent attack upon Mr Gladstone, whom he had accused of almost every kind of political iniquity, and of using1 disloyal language to the Queen, yet, as some of those present would know, he (Mr Roberts) was at the meeting at which Mr Gladstone spoke, and he could not recollect anything of the kind bein"- said, nor was it borne out by the reported versions of the speech. (Hear, hear.) Mr Raikes described Mr Gladstone as the man who in that very building did not shrink from imputing disloyal conduct to her Majesty the Queen—and remember that this was an excess of p.iWlic language such as I think has never been paralleled by any public and responsible man in our century-he is the man who comes and talks to you about unconstitutional conduct on the part of the present Government." Now, speaking of our grac- ious Sovereign and the undue responsibility to be cast on her by the present Ministry, Mr Gladstone said that the tendency of the proceedings of the present Government had been to bring the Sovereign of this country into a position of personal responsibilty -(bear, hear) over and above, and distinct from, that of her Min- isters. That is the capital and central point. That is the citadel of the constitution. (Hear, hear.) If you allow that citadel to be touched, your liberties are gone. (Cheers.) That is the restoration of the government which prevailed before the house of Brunswick, which prevailed before the Revolution, which prevailed before the war of Charles I. (Cheers). Now, the glory of the House of Bruns- wick and of the Revolution of 1688 has always been this, and they wedded and welded together the prerogative of the crown by the undivided responsi. bility of the ministers. The undivided responsibility of the ministers was the bulwark of the liberty of the subject. (Applause.) Therefore, ever since that epoch the best champions of public liberty have never felt themselves driven to impair the dignity of the Crown. (Applause.) The two causes are one cause, and the man who is the foe of liberty under our happy constitution is likewise the foe of loyalty. He concluded his speech by saying that the Liberal party, which is awakening—and rapidly awakening —to a sense; of its duty throughout the country" when it comes to take part in the proceedings of the next election, will be the champion not only of the franchise secured to every class of the people by the laws and the constitution of the country, but will above all be the championj of its ancient monarchy against those who, though they may cover it with flatteiy and adulation, are adopting measures but too likely to sap its foundations. He (the spaker) asked by what perverse ingenuity the words of Mr Glad- stone at Rhyl could be distorted into disloyalty, and that by an excess of language which had not been exceeded in the present century. (Hear, hear.) Mr Raikes, no doubt, was annoyed in finding on foot what was certainly a successful movement to oust him from the representation of Chester, but the words he (Mr Roberts) had quoted showed how far party prejudices led Conservation to malign the greatest and noblest of English statesmen. (Hear, hear.) He rejoiced to learn from their secretary that the Holywell and Greenfield Liberal Association were making progress day by day, that unity and enthu- siasm pervaded all their actions, that their numbers were increasing daily, and included many of those who were on the opposite side at the last elction. (Applause). He urged upon them not to leave a single stone unturned, to lose no chance, but to put forth every effort to strengthen their position until the battle was over, and the election, whenever it came, was won. They must not be lulled into false security, by the rumours so industriously circulated by their opponents that there ,would be no contested election, or that there were divisions and defects in their own ranks. The general election might be upon them sooner than they expected; it was Lord Beacon. field's privilege to choose the moment for dissolving Parliament, but it was the duty of constituencies to be ready at any moment and at every moment for such an event. (Hear, hear.) For his own part, it was his desire and his duty to try to serve to the best of his ability the interest of all his constituents— (hear, hear)—and whenever a dessolution of Parlia- ment did come it would be his duty again to fight the Liberal battle in the Flintshire Boroughs. (Ap- plause.) And in doing battle on their behalf he would himself strain every nerve, and he looked to the Liberal electors of Flintshire to do the same. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that he was not speaking in a boastful manner in saying that-looking at the improved state of the register, the better organisa. tion of their forces, the old traditions of Flintshire and the feeling of the working men towards the present Admiuistration-he anticipated with calm confidence a successful as well as a decisive victory. (Hear, hear.) At the same time the electors must make every effort so that the next fight would be the last for which there would be any necessity for them to go through for many years to come. (Hoar, hear). He hoped and believed that their effoi-ts-as they justly deserved to be—would be attended with success. (Applause ) They won the seat in 1868, after it had been a Tory stronghold for a great number of years, but in 1874 it was lost to them through apathy and wa4it of organisation. (Cheers.) He could not too strongly impress upon them that it was their duty to urge upon every voter the knowledge, that the safety of the country depended upon their securing a Liberal majority in the next Parliament. The folly of the nation dismissed the Liberals from power in 1871. It was then said that the people were tired of Liberal legislation,and that they wanted rest. But had they enjoyed restf (No) Ko; they had only experienced that languid repuse arising from bad trade and bad times; from. series of most dis- agreeable sensations and unpleasant surprises, in the form of false alarms, squandered millions, great deficits, and unjust wars, culmimating in the misfor- tune which had befallen at Cabul, which, he feared, would lead to a long and certainly a profitless war. (Hear, hear.) He looked forward, for his own part, with confidence to the coming election, confident that the men of Flintshire, county and boroughs, would speak out with no uncertain sound and he asked the electors of Carnarvonshire and other costituencies in North Wales to follow their example by return- ing as their members none but Liberals. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. D Oliver, who spoke in Welsh, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr John Roberts for his atten- dance and speech. Mr Joseph Gardner seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr Urias Bromley, of Chester, who,in the course of a vigorous speech, said he was really disgusted with the loss of prestige which was attached to Mr Raikes' conduct, who, bat in hand, went about begging support from the people of Chester. (Hear, hear.) The time was coming when even this would not succeed, but when he would have to go elsewhere for a constituency which would return him. He (Mr Raikes) ought to know that the electors of Chester did not now wear petticoats, and he hoped that the intelligent electors of the ancient city of Chester, one of the leading constituencies in the kindom, would not be bought by beer and red herrings. (Loud laughter.) Mr Bromley concluded by addressing a few sentences in Welsh to the audience, who received this section of his speech with loud cheers. The resolution was put and carried by acclama- tion. Mr J. Roberts, M.P., in proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman forpresiding,said the Liberals of Holy- well and Greenfield were proud to be led that day by their friend Mr Adam Eyton. (Hear, hear.) The name of Eyton was a good one to fight with, and he was a good man who bore it that day. (Cheers). Mr William Hunter, of Wakefield, in seconding the resolution, said thay were fortunate in being so worthily represented in Patliament as they were by Mr John Roberts. He hoped the Liberals of Carnar- vonshire would whipe out the stain of the last election,and thatjthey would at the next election return Mr Joues Parry as their representative in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman acknowledged the compliment, and in doing so said he had not the slightest doubt that when the election fight came on they would again return Mr Roberts. (Loud applause.)

A BOY DROWNED AT RHYL.-THE IN- QUEST. « On Tuesday morning last, an inquest was held at the Prince of Wales' Hotel, before W. Davies, Esq., the coroner for the county, on the body of Robert Jones, eight years of age, the son of Robert Jones, labourer, Morfa Bach, Vale-road. From the evidence it appears that deceased, with some other boys, was playing in the vicinity of Tarlton's Pool, Vale-road, and while washing his hands be fell in the pool and was not seen to rise afterwards. This is the third case of drowning in the same pool within a short period. The following gentlemen were sworn on the jury -Mr J. Griffiths, Albert villa, foreman; Messrs. W. Evans, Crescent road J. Hughes, Elwy house; Jos. Parry, Vale road; R. Evans, Victoria Inn J. Jones, (Eos Bradwen) D. Jones, Sisson-street; J. Jones, Sisson-street; W. Thomas, Bedford-street; John Williams, Sisson-street; James Hughes, Colo- mendy; T. Morgan, Colomendy; W. Jones, Bryn Hyfryd; Hugh Hughes; P. H. Piercy, Plough; Reuben Jackson, Sisson-street. The jury having viewed the body, the coroner called the first witness, John Sullivan, alias Wheelan, a boy of about 7 years of age, who said—I know the deceased Robert Jones. I was playing with him on Saturday last at Tarltons' pool. Deceased was washing his hands, and had a hook in his sleeve to catch fish, and while trying to fish he in fell on his facc, and I could not see him afterwards. I then ran and told his father that Robert was drowned. He came with another man, who got the body out of the water. The foreman said that the witness appeared to be sharp, but he ought to be looked after better. The The foreman said that the witness appeared to be sharp, but he ought to be looked after better. The Coroner also gave the little boy some good advice, and recommended that the school attendance officer should see that he attended school. William Edwards, labourer, Gladstone's Terrace, deposed—At 12.30 on Saturday last I saw some folks running towards Tarlton's pool, near to the Brick wdrks. I saw some boys near the pool, and some people who were shouting that a boy was drowned. I saw a man with a rake trying to drag the pool. I then went into the water while a man fetched a pipe, to which I fastened a hook. I dragged the pool, and in a little time brought up the body, and gave it iu jeharge of Police-constable Thomas. Robert Jones, (the father) said- I am a labourer, and reside at Morfa Bach, Vale-road. The deceased is my boy, and is eight years of age. 1 was present when he WIS taken out of the water by William Edwards. The pool is a little over a quarter of a mile from my house, and is known by the name of Tarlton's pool. By the foreman.—I am a workman to the Rhyl Commissioners. I have been carting rubbish to the pool at all times of the night. There is no gate on the field, and no protection at all around the pool. It is very deep. The Coroner then summed up, and remarked that there was sufficient evidence to find out how deceased met his death. It was quite evident from the first witness that there was some boys playing together at the edge of the water, and in so doing the deceased fell in, and actually went out of sight and did not rise again and no doubt that was owing perhaps to him being caught in something at the bottom. He (the Coroner) could see no other verdict that could be brought in than accidentally drowned," at the same time the jury could if they thought proper, append some recommendation to the verdict. After a little consulation, the jury returned a verdict that deceased was Accidently drowned," the foreman remarking that at the same time the jury recommended the matter of fencing the field be brought before the Commis- sioners, so as to make the opening into the field perfectly safe, by fixing a gate with a lock, and that care should be taken to lock after every load deposited in the pool and further, that the members of the various Sunday Schools should caution the children not to go near that pool. The Coroner thought the first recommendation of the jury very legitimate, but with reference to something being said in the chapels he could hot recommened that to be attached to the verdict. That could be done without being in any way connected with the verdict. He now thanked them for their attendance, and was glad to compliment a Rhyl jury on being able to write their names, as in many parts of the Principality most of the jurymen were not able to do so. On Tuesday afternoon the remains of the deceased were deposited in their last resting place. The children of the Welsh Wesleyan Sunday School (of which deceased was a member) formed into proces- sion, under the superintendence of Mr Richard Edwards, Plastiiion Ten-ace, and took part in the mournful cortege.

THE WELSH WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. RHYL CIRCUIT. Many of the numerous readers of the Advertiser will remember that this movement was commenccd last April, when the first committee was held at Bruns- wick Chapel school-room, Brighton road, Rhyl. There were delegates present from every Sundav school in the circuit, and the late Rev. Evan Pugh presided. All the delegates having previously consulted the teachers of the various schools, reported at that meeting that the matter was taken up very warmly by all the schools except Brunswick (the head school of the circuit). Mr James Davies represented the last-mentioned school and said that a large majority of the teachers were opposed to the movement, as on an average a dozen teachers absented themselves from their duties on a Sunday. Up to the present time they still continue to hold aloof from the union sim- ply because they cannot spare two teachers on one Sunday in six weeks to visit, with the executive com- mitte, the schools of the union, whilst the weakest school in the circuit experience no difficulty in this particular. Six weeks last Sunday the first and very successful meeting of the union was held at Prestatyn and last Sunday the second meeting was hied at Meli- den, which was quite a success. The union schools com- prise those of Meliden, Prestatyn, Dyserth, Rhuddlan, and Zoar, Vale road, Rhyl. The following were the representatives: Mr T. Hushes, and Mr T. Ellis. Meliden Mr Joseph Hughes, and Mr John Hughes, Prestatyn; Mr T. Williams and Mr John Thomas, Dyserth Mr Thomas Roberts and Mr Charles Wynne, Rhuddlan, and Mr J. Jones, Zoar, Rhyl. Mr James Williams, of Meliden, very ably presi- ded at the afternoon meeting on Sunday last, and the scholars were examined in the following subjects- the section on the "Word of God," from John Wil- liams' catechism the chapter on "Keeping Holy the Sabbath Day," from Richard Prichard's catechism and also the Burial of the Lord Jesus Christ," was dealt with. At five p.m., the delegates met at the schoolroom adjoining the chapel, Mr R. Jones, Pres- tatyn, presiding, and the representatives gave in their reports, which stated that there were 101 teachers with other officers, and 909 children in the Union. During the three months ending September 14th, the members of the schools had commited to memory 224 chapters from the Bible, and 8486 verses, besides several chapters from the various catechisms used in Wesleyan Sunday schools. This being the first re- port its impossible to make any comparison in figures with former periods. The committee passed a number of resolutions for the better working of the union, and it was resolved to hold the next meeting at Dyserth early in Novem- ber next, and the subject for study is The miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mr Jones, Prestatyn, conducted the evening meet- ing, and the children were catechised on the resur- rection of Christ. The answers so readily given to Mr Jones' questions shewed that great labour and time had been devoted to the subject. Addresses were also devlivered by Mr John Hughes, Prestatyn; Mr Charles Wynne, Rhuddlan Mr John Jones, Dyserth; and Mr John Jones, Rhyl. The meetings throughout were of the most earnest character, and the religious zeal of all connected with the gathering was quickened and strengthened. JOHN JONES, Secretary.

RHUDDLAN GARDEN SOCIETY. The annual exhibition of the above society was held within the grounds of the ancient castle of Rhuddlan on Thursday last. The society was estab- lished in 1852 for encouraging and promoting the cultivation of vegetables, fruits, &c., in cottage gar- dens within a radius of five miles. Since its form- ation the society has done much to encourage the cot- tage gardener to cultivate the ground in the most ap- proved manner, and by its efforts we are given to understand a great improvement has taken place in the gardens of the more humbler class in the neigh- bourhood of Rhuddlan. The society, which was under the partronage of Capt. and Mrs Conwy, is supported by yearly sub- scriptions, and gives annually £ 30 in prizes. The Show this year was one of the best held, the fruits and vegetables being good and lieathly, and flowers some of the choicest exhibited. Considering the state of the weather and the late season this was not to be expected, but speaks volumes for the indus- try and diligence of the exhibitors in bringing their garden produce to such a state of perfection. A great number of people attended in the afternoon,and at 2.30 the hon. member for the Flintshire boroughs, Mr John Roberts, and family drove up to the castle. By the thoughtfulness and liberality of Capt. Conwy the inmates ot the St. Asaph workhouse were treated to the show. There was also a large attendance of the gentrv of the destrict. Capt. (5onwy exhibited some fine specimens of hot house plants, as also did R. J. Sisson, Esq., St. Asaph, Miss Roberts, Pen y fordd, T. Sleight, Esq., Dyserth, &c. Mr J. Clift, of the Rhyl Market, ha.1 a stand with a first-class collection of English and foreign fruit, vegetables, &e.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE AT BASLE. This Association, which held its Seventh General Confer- ence in September at Basle, was numerously attended by Christian ministers and laymen from France, Germany, Switzerland, America, and other countries, besides England. The following Resolution,proposed by the Rev. Dr. Christlieb, of Bonn, and passed unanimously, carries with it the weight of the general opinion of Protestant Christendom" That this Conference, prompted by the reports laid before it as to be present state of Evangelical Missions in China and India, expresses its full sympathy with the efforts for the suppression of the Opium Traffic which have been made during many years past, and desires to support the protests against this Trade which from time to time have been raised by various Evangelical and Missionary Churches, and by many distinguished friends of Christian Missions. The Conference unites with their English brethwn in Aeclaring'this long- established trade to be crying injustice against China, a cause of offence which deeply, injuries the honour of the Christian and heathen countries, and especially, an immense obstacle to the spread of Christan Missionary work. The Conference feels coustained to place on record its conviction that a change in the policy of England as regards this Traffic is urgently necessary, 'and it instructs its President to bring this Resolution to the knowledge of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for India.

HOLLO WAY'S PILLS.-The Great Need.—The blood is the life, and on its purity depends our health, if not our existence. These Pills thoroughly cleanse this vital fluid fiom all contaminations, and by that power strengthen and invigorate the whole system, healthily stimulate sluggish organs, repress over- excited action, and establish order of circulation and secretion throughout every part of the body. The balsamic nature of Holioway's Pills commends them to the favour of debilitated and nervous constitutions which they soon resuscitate. They dislodge all obstructions, both in the bowels and elsewhere, and are, on that account, much sought after for promoting regularity of action in young females and delicate persons who are naturally weak, or who from soma use have become w.

Stirring times are near at hand. Those men who aspire to be our leaders had better bethink themselves lest if they prove worthless in our day of sore trial, we make their name into a hissing and a byeword. Again and again we have counselled local Liberals to bestir them- selves. Let them get together and look facts in the face. Unity and discipline will make us victors. Whereas if we are scattered and disorganized, who knows what havoc the enemy may make in the ranks. A word to the wise,
