THE TREMEIRCHION VESTRY ON THE NANT-Y-FAENOL ROAD. WIIEX the three tailors of Toeley-street drew up their famous petition they little thought to what a height of notoriety it would raise them nor did the nine farmers, who with one exception, constituted the famous Vestry at Tremeirchion on November 3rd, ever dream of the ridicule with which their famous reso- lution would invest them. Ignorance and presumption, which have ever been yoke com- panions, were the undoubted prompters of a petition in the case of the Tooley-street tailors, and to some extent of a resolution in that of the farmers of Tremeirchion. The three tailors commenced their petition to the House of Commons with a display of self-assurance and of egotism, which has rarely been equal- led, when they wrote "We the people of England." The nine farmers arrogated to themselves an amount of influence and im- portance which the whole parish has no right to claim. But it would be better to refer our readers to a letter in our last issue, headed 11 A High- way League at Tremeirchion," and signed "A Ratepayer," and also to a communicated re- port in our Tory contemporary and which was headed 11 Tremeirchion Parish and Nant-y- Faenol Road." The letter states that this vestry was called at the iustance of a Mr W. JONES, of Nantgwilym, who is a tenant of Mr P. P. PENNANT, and with the object of passing a resolntiou to bo forwarded to the Magistrates sitting in Petty Sessions at St. Asaph on the 6th. These statements in the letter are cor- roborated by the communicated report, and may therefore be taken as statements of facts. The report supplies the additional information bhat the Vestry was convened To give the "ratepayers an opportunity of stating their views on the question, when such wanton waste of money was condemued." The words, too, of the resolution are given, and are as follows:—" That this Vestry have heard with surprise and alarm that there is an intention to increase the Highway Rate by spending money in repairing Nant-y- Faenol road, a farm occupation road at pre- sent in sufficient repair for the purposes for which it is required, being of no use to gen- eral public." Whoever was the communi- cator of the report, and whoever drew up the resolution, ought certainly in both cases to go to schojl again, for they are ungrammatical, illogical, and obscure pieces of composition, and the latter affords ample proof of the amount of knowledge possessed by those who composed the vestry, DWIN MORGAN, ESQ., J.P., was in the chair, and certainly he ought 0 not to have been a paity to au attempt avow- edly made and explicitly stated to bias his fellow justices. Surely it must be considered a grave offence not only against conventional morals, but also against the pure administra- tion of justice, to formulate a threat with the intention of hurling it at a Bench of Magis- C, trates, and yet Mr MORGAN, J.P., did all this in his capacity of chairman. We gather from our correspondent's letter that the resolution wns not received by the Magistrates when sitting at St. Asaph. Hall that been the case there can be no doubt that an order would j have been given to their Clerk to forward it to the LORD-CIIANCELLOll, who in all probability would have deemed it his duty to issue a new Commission of the peace which would have contained fewer names than it docs at present, and the county would be the gainer by the reduction. We turn now to some of the statements contained in the resolution. Surprise and alarm" have been felt that there was an in- tention to i-crease the Highway Rate by RT spending money in repairing Nant-y-Faenol ">oad." WHY should the nine have felt any surprise when the widely-spread feeling and wish to repair the road has been publicly manifested for the last two years'? And what alarm could they have felt at the small amount of increase in the rates which a re- pairing of the road would have "caused P Let us see what portion of the £20 which was asked for to repair the road would have to be paid by the parish of Tremeirchion. The rateable value of the entire Highway district is a little over £50,000, that of Tremeirchion is under and of St. Asaph a little ovor Taking these numbers as the basis of our calculations it is found that of the £20, the parish of St. Asaph would pay £7 9s., and that of Tremeirchion the large sum The contemplated increase of JE1 17s. in the rates of the parish of Tremeirchion filled its ratepayers with surprise and alarm." Did it forsooth ? Where is the fool who believes it ? In the name of all that is honest and true, why should men who profess and call themselves Christians stoop to such subter- fuges and act so meanly ? But there is another feature in the matter to which we would call the attention of our readers ? The cost of maintaining the roads of the parish of Tremeirchion, is about Is. in the pound on its rateable value, but it only pays 8d. in the pound to the Highway fund. St. Asaph costs about 4d. in the pound for the main. taining of its roads, and yet it pays 8d. in the pound also. St. Asaph, therefore, with its large rateable value, pays no inconsider- able portion of the Highway Rates of the parish Tremeirchion, and yet these nine of its ratepayers felt surprise and alarm that a further charge of £1 17s. was likely to be made upon the extensive parish of Tre- meirchion. We find ourselves on the horns of a dilemma, for wo are logically compelled to make one of two statements respecting them, but courtesy forbids us making the one, and a profound respect for the very name of honesty debars us from making the other and so we leave it to the imagination of our readers to supply the suppressed sentence. The story of the Nant-y-Faenol road has spread far and wide, and we know that thou- sands are waiting anxiously, and watching carefully, for a settlement of this vexed and often discussed question. Everyone, however. knows that the BARONET of Bodelwyddan is most anxious to have this road closed. It is not so widely known, but it is well known, that all the ex-officio members, with one or two noble exceptions, of the Board sympathize with the BARONET, and are active in their ex- ertions to assist him in his attempt. This they have done in various ways, and on several occasions. But the farce enacted un- der the solemn form of Vestry, at Tremeirch- ion on November the 3rd, is a new feature in the proceedings; but it is one,which if rightly read, indicates that the ez-officios are being driven into a corner. Our correspondent in- fers that Mr P. P. PENNANT was the wire- puller, but that he kept behind the scenes. If such be the case then we have two of them at active work to circumvent the action of their brother magistrates. Such work, however, is in strict keeping with the antecedents of the "Stupid Party," to which they are proud to belong. Intelligence is the direct opposite to stupidity, and its most powerful adversary, and so the result of the conflict may safely be predicted, when stupidity takes up its weapons and enters into a conflict with in- telligence and reason.

IfaUs anh Summarn, The Mysterious rate question it appears is still in abeyance. A correspondent writes that the money paid by a few persons in respect of this rate is in the safe keeping of Mr JAMES DAVIES, the collector, who awaits the written instructions of the Rhuddlan Marsh Embankment Trust to refund the money. ♦

The funeral of the late Mr OWEN THOMAS, postmaster, took place on Monday, and the procession was one of the largest ever wit- nessed in the town. That the departed was a man of worth and universally respected was attested to by the large number who gathered together to pay him their last tribute of respect. 4

In another column we publish a letter received by a Rhyl gentleman from Mr. ED- WARD EVANS, a native of Rhuddlan, and who is now in Cairo, Mr EYANS is in close com- munication with ARABI PASHA, and the letter was written on the rebel's table in prison. The Graphic for last Saturday contained a picture of Mr EVANS.

♦ At Dublin on Wednesday the trial of PATRIC JOYCE, Shanvallycahill, for the Maamtrasua murders, was brought to a con- clusion. Mr. Justice BARRY summed up the case to the jury; and &t two minutes past twelve they retired. At twelve minutes past twelve they returned with a yerdict of guilty. Mr. Justice BARRY, who displayed consider- able emotion, then sentenced the prisoner to be hanged. ♦

The Oswestry Advertiser says It is now generally understood that Mr HOLLAND will retire from the representation of Merio- nethshire at the dissolution of the present Parliament, and the Liberals of that county are eagerly discussing the choice of his suc- cessor. Mr JOHN ROBERTS, M.P., is a favo- rite with many, but there is no apparent rea- son why Mr ROBERTS should desert the Flint Boroughs, and in many respects a resident in Merionethshire would make a better candidate. The name of a resident has already been mentioned and favourably raceived, but the ultimate decision will not be made known for some time. The Conservatives have been so badly beaten at every recent election that it is scarcely likely they will enter the field against a strong candidate."

— ♦ Reforms one after another are adopted by the St Asaph Board of Guardians in the conduct of their business. On Thursday last Mr SISSON proposed that at its next meeting the Board shall resolve itself into com- mittee to consider th3 question of com- mencing the general busniness of the Board at a stated hour. Those who attend the meeting of Guardians are aware that now the reliof list is revised, and other matters are transacted, in which a large num- ber of the members are not engaged but as the general business is proceeded with as soon as these matters are disposed or, and as the members do not know when that will be, they are compelled to wait for an hour or an hour and a half doing nothing. If a stated time was agreed upon everybody would know when to attend.. No doubt Mr SISSON'S proposition will be favourably received. I •

FUNERAL OF MR. OWEN THOMAS, POSTMASTER. The mortal remains of the above estimable gentleman were interred on Monday last at the Rhyl Cemetery. At 2 o'clock a vast concourse assembled in Clwyd street chapel, where several addresses were delivered. The Rev. R. Hughes having offered prayer, read a portion of Scripture, after which a few remarks were delivered by the Rev. D. C. Evans, pastor of Bethel chapel, who said that that congregation had been brought to- gether under circumstances that caused sorrowful feelings to all of them. They had lost a faithful friend. Through the death of Mr Thomas he had lost one of the most retiring men he knew in the cause of Christ he was a man that worked quietly and steadily, and never pushed himself to the front, but the work of Christ drew him to the front. He was one of the most faithful men in Rhyl in the cause of Jesus Christ, and in the midst of all worldly labours, everything had to give way to that cause. He had no doubt that by then Mr Thomas had gained a station vastly superior to theirs. He (the speaker) had been on terms of intimate friendship with the deceased for a period of ten years, and during that time two days never passed without them seeing one another but now Sir Thomas had entered into the erjoyment of the riches of his Father. As a man, a Christian, and a friend, Mr Thomas was faithful and devoted. The Rev. J. Jones, Penmachno, said his feelings rendered it a difficult matter for him to speak. In the present case the words "My thoughts are not as your thoughts," &c., were explained to him. The thoughts of the Heavenly King were to stand. They thought that Mr Thomas had many years before him, and work to do—ho possessed talent to work and his heart and spirit was in the work. He was satis-fied that Mr Thomas' religion was real and earnest, and that in the fullness of his heart he worked. The Lord did not leave him here to work, but took him home to rest, and that at a time they expected it not. But their loss was his gain—he entered the joys of his Lord. They were paying Mr Thomas the last tribute that day, but it was not so with Jesus Christ. He will pay it on the last day. In conclusion Mr Jones hoped the mournful event would have the effect it should on the minds of the congregation and the people generally. Rev. J. Ogwen Jones,B.A.,said that they had met for more than one purpose—one was to glorify God in the removal of Mr Thomas he believed that Mr Thomas had been glorified by God, and had gone to the everlasting kingdom of Jesus Chiist. Another thing they ought to do was to take the event seriously into their own considerations—to remind themselves that they were mortal—that they could be called away suddenly. A "h01 t time ago Mr Thomas was among he is no more. It was their duty to stand and listen to the example set by this event—"Be ye, therefore, ready." Mr Jones impressed upon his hearers to take up some- thing from Mr Thomas' character that might be beneficial to them. Mr Thomas' character was a brilliant one. He was always attentive in his capacity of deacon and Christian. It was their duty to think of their deacons. His death was a serious loss to the church in Vale road, but he trusted there were others who would fill the gap: to think otherwise would be an insult to the memory of Mr Thomas—that he had not done his best to rear and develope worthy people to carry on the work of his God. Rev. D. C. Davies, Nantglyn, was the next speaker. He observed that he was preaching at Vale road chapel on the Sunday previous to Mr Thomas' death. The day was a stormy one—so stormy that Mr Thomas failed to attend the morning service, but managed to be present in the evening. He looked very unwell—a strange look in his face. He said but little about his illness—the cause of Christ in Vale road was the chief subject on his mind—he was deeply concerned in the cause of his Master everywhere, but more especially so in Vale road. His removal caused a wide gap in the Vale road church, but he believed they had the material to fill it up. Mr Thomas had gone home to heaven when a soldier fell in the ranks his comrades closed to each other. The news of his death had flashed like electricity through the entire circuit of the monthly meeting. Mr Thomas had made a place for himself in the Vale of Clwyd monthly meeting, and he fulfilled his duties in a manner next to per. fection. He was noted for his fidelity and regularity. When absent he (the speaker) felt that the deceased was missed, but that it was not so with eveiybody. He (Mr Davies) trusted the event would inspire them to diligence while they were spared. Mr Blethyn Lloyd, Dolyddelen, brought the meeting to a close by prayer, and the congregation proceeded from the chapel to the Post Office and the funeral procession was formed in High street. Here a portion of Scripture was read by the Rev. D. C. Evans, and prayer was offered in English by the Rev. J. C. Jones, a young man lately passed for the ministry, and who for some time had been a clerk in the Rhyl Post Office under Mr Thomas. The procession moved off in the following order A detachment of Police (under Inspector McLaren). Coast Guards (under Capt. John). Medical Gentlemen (Drs. Girdlestonc, Carstairs, and Wolstenholme). Improvement Commissioners. Ministers and Deacons of various denominations. Members of the Ancient Order of Forestors. Post Office Employees. Bearers. HEARSE. Bearers. Relatives. Bethel Sunday School. General Public. In the procession we noticed the following- :— The Revs. J. Jones, Penmachno; R. Hughes, Dy- serth; Lewis Ellis, Rhuddlan D. C. Davies, Nantglyn; J. Jones, Towvn; J. Elias Hughes, M.A., St. Asaph J. C. Jones, Bootle T. Hughes, Llanddulas J. H. Griffiths, Colwyn Bay J. Roberts, Llandegla; B. Hughes, St. Asaph; R. Griffiths, Rhuddlan; G. A. Butterton, D.D., E. Tudor Owen, M.A., D. Charles Evans, J. Ogwen Jones, B.A., J. Jenkins, M.A J. Williams, Evan Lloyd, D. Roberts (C), R. Thomas (C), Rhyl; and we understand a letter was received from the Rev. T. Richardson, M.A., vicar, stating that he was unavoidably absent through illness. All the places of business along the route were closed while the mournful cortege passed. At the cenutery the Rev. B. Ilughes read, and the Rev. John Williams, Ehvy Villa, addressed the assemblage, after which the Rev. D. Charles Evans offered a short prayer. After singing a hymn the large gathering dispersed. On the coffin were fourteen wreaths, kindly sent by the following :—John Churton, Esq J.P., and Mrs Churton; Mrs and the Misses Wynne Edwards Rev. John Williams and family, Elwy Villa Miss Jones, Sunnyside; Mr and Mrs Foulkes, draper Miss Morris, Dyserth Mrs Evans, Market street Mr and Mrs J. Jones, 14, Elwy street; Mr John Jones, Warren street; the letter-carriers Mr R. T. Williams, letter-carrier; the English Presbyterians Mrs Jones (butcher), Sisson street: and Mr Hill, Talacre. The undertaker was Mr J. Frimston, High-street, who discharged his duties with entire satisfaction. On Sunday evening, in St Thomas' Church, the Rev T. Richardson, M.A., made some touching allusions to the death of Mr Thomas, in a sermon based upon Matt. xxiv. 44—" Be ye also ready, for in such an hour 1S ye think not, the Son of Man cometh." Mr Richardson said — There is always a certain amount of interest attaching to the call and the deposits of the letter- carrier. The tidings he brings, joyous, indifferent, or grievous, are looked forward to with an eagerness approaching to anxiety and this is more especially the case when some dear relative or friend at a distance is known to be in a critical state of health —a valued and a valuable life perhaps trembling in the balance. Each letter is then carefully scanned, anxiously opened and breathlessly examined; and if one or more come draped in black borders our worst fears seem to be at once realized. Sometimes, too, the startling telegram summons us to the bed- side or the open grave of one whom we had fondly hoped to meet again, as of yore, in health and strength. But in a moment, quite unexpectedly, as we are wont to say, all such hopes arc dashed and disappointed. These are not uncommon occurrences in our daily life. From nearer home, hcwever, aud at our very doors, in the course of this last week, the postman on his daily round, was himself the sorrowing herald of painful intelligence, and told us, along with his daily packet, of the strikingly— awfully sudden removal of one who, as our respec- ted postmaster was, officially connected with us all —of one fully occupied in the midst of his many labours, and I may almost say snatched away from that very ofticc, which, under his auspices, was a model of order and propriety—where all the subor- dinates, copying the meek, quiet, and Christian spirit of their superior, in no common degree com- bined tlCt in the despatch of business with courteous attention to the wants of tbo public. Thence, this good man, without a moment's warning, was called away, as we trust, to recelve lns reward, to "enter into the joy of bis Lord. Irom that silent cham- ber iu the Post Office, liowevsr, he being dead yet speaketh and there comes to each of us now, as though from the other world, our departed brother's voice repeating, ia earnest and imploring accents, those solemn words dour blessed Lord—" Be ye also ready for-in such au hour as ye think not the Son of Man coireth." Many a time ere now have these words claimed our earnest consideration t )- day, they come enforced by an example in illustra- tion, and they tell us in language not to be mistaken that as it was with our friend so it may be with us also. The cry—" Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet Him may reach us when flll of life and its busy scenes, and in the lieydey of prosperity. Inhere is almost but a thin veil which separates us from itio throne of judgment and the world of spirits.—In the rest of the sermon, the un- (-ert!l; ly of life, the call to be ready, the folly and danger of delay, and the way to escape, were the subjects eloquently, impressively, and prominently insisted on. At the English Baptist Chapel the Rev Mr Foote made mention of the sad event in his prayers, and at the conclusion of the morning service Mr D. Trehearn played the Dead March" on the organ. jD-

THE PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OF FREEMASONS. On Monday a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Freemasons, couveued by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., M.P., R.W.P.G.M., was held at the Lion Hoiel, Shrewsbury. There was a N,(,i-y: good attendance, the number present, in- cluding officers and brethren, exceeding a hundred. The business included the installation by the Prov- incial Grand Master of his deputy, Sir Offley Wakeman, Baronet; the appointment of a Com- mittee to consider the revised Book of Constitutions, one of the features of which is that Masonic funerals are not to be permitted, the presentation of one or two petitions which, as they were informal, were referred to the next meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge and the reading of a letter from Messrs. Briusmead, thanking Sir Watkin Wil- liams Wynn for his patronage as P.G.M. of a con- cert to be held on November 27 at Shrewsbury in aid of the Royal College of Music, at which, it was hoped, that as large a number of Masons as possible would attend. The Lodge then adjourned, and subsequently a banquet was held of which the following was "YE LYSTE OF TOASTES." Sir Watkin Williams Wynn-" Ye Queene and ye Crafte. 'Whom God long preserve.' Sir Watkin Williams Wynn-" Ye Prynce of Wales, yoM.W.G.M. 'This is my daily prayer: Thus do I cry, Long live the Queene and Prynce, and let all traitors die." Sir Watkin Williams Wynn—"Ye Earle of Caernarvon, ye Pro. G.M. ye Earle of Lathome, ye D.G.M., and ye Officers of ye Grande Lodge presente and past. 'Let men of state for state affaires contend Sir Ofiley Wakeman, Bart.—" Ye Watcyn Wil. liams Wynn, Baronet, M.P., ye R.W.P.G.M. 'A Worshippefulle Gentleman.' Sir Watkin responded. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn—" Ye Offley Wake- man, Baronet, ye D.P.G.M., and ye Officers of ye Provinciale Grande Lodge presente and past. 'There bee many doors which open to preferments, but the Prynce keeps the key of them all.' Sir Offley and Bro. J. P. White, P.S.S.W., re- sponded. Bro. the Rev. C.R. Gordon, D.D.—"Ye Wor- shippefulle Maisters of ye provynce. How happy wert't if all these would agree For Peace, good neigbourhood and iiiiity, to which Bro. Andrew responded. Bro. the Rev. Hugh Thomas—"Ye Masonic Charyties. Downe with your fat Beeves and Sheepe to relieve and welcome your poore nighbours.' "Ye Toaste of ye Tyler. 'Now let me speake, although I come behind. The quaint old English character of the toast list was much admired. The following members of the Caradoc lodge were present at the Grand Lodge —W. H. Foulkes, P.M, P.G.D.G., E. W. Keatinge, W.M., H. J. B. Lawrence, Sec., H. A. Steer, J. W., A. L. Clews, 1. G., Harry Mudd, H. Little.

A RHUDDLANITE WITH ARABI PASHA We have great pleasure in publishing the following letter written by Mr Edward Evans, a native of Rhuddlan, from Cairo, to Mr Robt. Jones, shipbuilder, Voryd. As a rule letters written by private persons from Egypt during the war lost their interest through the delay in transit, and subsequent events being known in England before their arrival, but the fol- lowing is prevaded with an air of freshness, which cannot fail to be interesting to our readers in general, and to those who have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mr Evans in particular. This Mr Evans is the same gentleman as was reported to be mur- dered at Alexandria before the bombardment. With respect to the picture referred to as being in the Graphic," we may state that it appeared in that publication for last Satur- day's date -I- Cairo, Egypt, Oct. 30th, 1883. My DEAR ROBERT,—I am v riting you these few lines on Arabi's table in prison, he himself is occupied in writing out his accounts of the rebellion, and consults me occasionally about dates, &c. I must say that I am much impressed with his story of the attempt he made to liberate Egypt. Its a great pity the massacres took place, otherwise he would have been in a very different position. I came here with the army and I was in the front during the whole of the campaign, from Kussassin, also at the action of Tel-el-kcbir The other day I made a great haul in getting possession of Arabi's papers, and some of them are very important. If you look in the" Graphic" next week or the week after you will see a picture of Mr E. B. Evans, Rhuddlan, Flintshire, &c. I daresay you know the gentleman. I am at work night and day in this matter until I am almost completely done. Yet I get up fresh in the morning after only a couple of hours sleep. What a pleasant quiet life you fellows have at home compared with the active and excited times that have always fell to my lot. I had so often promised to write to you that I thought this a capital opportunity and before I close it I'll ask Arabi to put his hand on it which will enable you to tell your friends that it has been in his hands. How are things in Rhyl P I suppose they are pretty much the same. I should like to go there next summer very much, but I am afraid I cannot as there is a talk of sending me a long distance into the upper country, where a rebel is adnmcing: on Egypt with a large army. Kind remembrance to those whom you know to be good old friends both to yourseif and me.- Believe me, yours very truly, TED EVANS. P.S.—Y mac Arabi wedi rhoi cusan i'r llythvr yma. I told him it was for a very old friend, and he at once touched it with his lips.
