BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY.—Before the Mayor, the ex-Mayor, Dr Eyton-Jones, T. C. Jones, Esq., E. Tench, Esq., and E. Vlilliams, Esq. AN UNGENTLEMANLY ACT. Edwin Owen was charged with assaulting William Warburton on the previous Wednesday. The defendant admitted kicking the complainant on the hind quarters, but said he was annoyed. However he did not wish to go lengthily into the case. William Williams then stated that during the evening he was going to his house when he met the defendant, who said he wanted to speak to him. He was told that he (Warbuiton) did not wish to have anything to say to him, and defendant then ran at him and kicked him in the hip. In con- sequence he had felt the effects severely for some time. This was considered sufficient evidence, and the bench inflicted a fine of 20s and costs, 7s. A NUISANCE STOPPED. William Marsden, a boy, was charged with being one among a crowd of boys, creating a disturbance, in Fairfield. P.C. Deakin stated that on the 12th inst. there was considerable shouting in the vicinity of Fair- field, so much so that it could be heard in the Ruabon-road. It was caused by a number of boys who were an interminable nuisance at the latter end of every year. He succeeded in catching the defendant, who was nasty" when caught. One of the magistrates then said that there were fifteen boys racing in front of his house on Sunday evening. Mr Bradley, of the Advertiser, said he had also witnessed some of their goings on. As an example to others, the lad was fined Is and costs, 7s. DRUNK AGAIN. Luke HefEeran was charged with being drunk near the Wynnstay Arms, on Saturday. He pleaded guilty. P.C. Williams stated that the defendant was drunk, but not helplessly so. He was pretending to be worse than he was, and as he was exposing his person, he was brought to the police station. The Chairman asked defendant if he had not seen him there before, and he replied co Yes." Fined 10s 6d and 4s costs or seven days. Allowed 24 hours for payment. A RUNAWAY CAUGHT. Julia O'Neale was charged with attempting a rescue from custody on the 14th March last. P.C. Davies stated that on that date he was called into a public-house to a row, and he had to take a man into custody. There were a large num- ber of people by, and this woman endeavoured to effect a rescue. In doing so she tore a policeman's cape into shreds. She had a summons taken out against her but she decamped, and had only just been taken into custody. P.C. Wynne stated that the prisoner was drunk, and in the melee he lost his hat. A young man picked it up, when prisoner knocked it out of his hand, and it was subsequently found in a chimney in an adjacent building. She was sent to gaol for a month, as she had been fined once before on a similar count. AN OLD GAOL BIRD CAGED AGAIN. Mrs Riley, wife of William Riley, who keeps a stall in the market, was charged with drunken- ness. The defendant had been convicted no less than 25 times before this case, and been fined or im- prisoned each time. P.C. Wynne stated that on the 12th inst. the defendant's husband called him to turn her out of his stall. She was drunk, and when she was got outside the stall, she picked up a flat fish and smacked him in the face. She used bad language, and was a terror to publicans. Defendant cried bitterly and begged that a fine cnly should be inflicted, but the bench turned a deaf ear to her and sent her to gaol for one month, without the option of a fine. TUESDAY.—Before the Mayor and Chas. Hughes, Esq. DRUNKENNESS. Patrick Mahon was charged with being drunk and disorderly in High-street on Monday afternoon. He pleaded that he did not know what he was doing. Sergeant Dutton proved that the defendant was drunk at about half-past two, and came up High- street knocking up against the passengers on the footpath. He also put his arms round a young woman near the Town Hall. As this was the first offence, the bench only fined him 2s 6d and costs, altogether amounting to 6s, but cautioned him against appearing again. The money was immediately paid. WEDNESDAY.—Before T. C. Jones, Esq. (chairman) and Dr Davies. FRAUDULENT ENLISTMENT. A man passing under the aliaseof John Jenkins, and who wore the uniform of the 23rd Regiment stationed at Wrexham, was brought up in custody charged with making a false statement when enlisted. It appears that the man is married, and he must have said he was not, to be enrolled. Lieutenant Williams appeared to support the case, but as sundry papers relative to his past life have to be obtained from Ireland, the prisoner was formally remanded till Monday, at the Petty Ses- sions. MORE DRINK. Phillip O'Neile was brought up in the custody of P.C. Owen, under warrant, charged with drunken- ness on the 24th July last. He pleaded that he was drunk. P.C. Owen proved the case. At the time a sum- mons was taken out against the defendant, but he evaded it, and it was not till a day or two ago secured. As the prisoner had been convicted no less than ten times previously, the magistrates fined him 10s and costs. No time was allowed for payment, and the prisoner had not the money so he was sent to do" seven days. Ann Davis was charged with the same offence on Tuesday, at mid-day. She pleaded guilty. P.C. Williams proved this case, and said the defendant was coming up High-street drunk. He ordered her to be quiet, but she was the more abusive. She had only just come out of gaol, hav- ing been there for a similar offence at Llangollen. She had also been there two or three times pre- viously to that. The* magistrates retired for some mintes to con- sider this case, and on returning into court ordered the defendant to go to gael for a month with hard labour. The defendant received the sentence with a smile.

PRIZE SHOOTING OF THE 1ST D.R.V. On Saturday and Tuesday last a number of prizes given by the gentry and tradesmen of Wrexham and neighbourhood were shot for by the First Denbigh Riflo Volunteer Corps at the Erddig range. The presents were divided into a large number of small prizes of the value of from £5 to 5s. The day was all that could be desired, there was little or no wind, and the sky was bright. A tent for the sale of refreshments was erected on the ground. Captain Yorke was the umpire, but there were no important challenges for discision to be settled. Sergeant-Instructor Jones was present the whole day, and under his able and pleasant direction, every- thing passed off with due satisfaction to himself, the prixegivers and the men under him. All the prizes were shot for firing in any position, except No. 5, which was from the shoulder, standing, with fixed bayonets. The proceedings commenced at nine o'clock in the morn- ing and the firisg was kept up till quite dusk in the evening, with very little intermission. During the day a good many people visited the ground to see how things were progressing, and altogether the meeting proved of considerable interest. All the competitors appeared in uniform, and all tie,- were shot off for at the longest range (GOO yards). The minimum pull of the trigger was 61b. The prizes competed for on Saturday were the band prizes. The first competition was for participation in the sum of £ 5, given by the gentleman and tradesmen of Wrexham. Bandsmen only to contest.

The next prize was the gift of Lieut.-Colonel Sir W. W. Wynn, value .£5, divided into five sums ranging from 30s to 5s.

Jones made two outers each, and in the third tie Doherty a bull's eye, and F. Jones an outer. After this, the programme announced that .£1 was to be awarded to the man who attained the highest aggregate at class firing. Of course, this was shot for previous to the competition, and at the commencement of each season every man has to go through the first, second, and third class. The money was won by Private F. Jones scoring 134. Prize No. 3 was presented by Captain Yorke, open to all but recruits. Ranges, 200, 500, and 600 yards. Seven shots at each range.

The scor- ing was undoubtedly bad, although, of course, the men had not had much experience. But, notwith- standing, it is but just to say that it was so dark that the bull's-eye could not be distinctly seen. The firing was at 200 yards, any position, and the follow- ing is the list:— Pts. £ s. d. Private W. Trainer 8 1 0 0 Private J. Hughes. 8 0 15 0 Private A. Phillips. 2 0 12 6 Private W.

DENBIGH. QUOITING.—We find that Steward the champion play e of England is to play Moses Parry and J. Davies, of Denbigh, on Monday for £40, a game of 61 up. TEA PARTY.—On Thursday, the children belonging to the Plymouth Brethren Sunday School had their annual tea [pariy in the chapel, having previously enjoyed various amusements on the Castle Green. After tea a religious meeting was held. EXCURsION-On Thursday, the scholars of the English Wesley an Sunday School at Rhyl visited Denbigh and were entertained by Dr Evan Pierce all heartily enjoying their visit. TRACTION ENGINE.—Some interest was excited amongst the townspeople by the passing of a large Traction Steam Engine from Mold, attached to which were trucks being taken up into the mountains for slates. Its progress up the hill in Vale-street was very slow.

RUTHIN. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF A POSTMAN.—Richard Jones, the Rural postman between Ruthin and Llanelidan, was attacked on the road, on Thursday evening, by a man who endeavoured to take the bags. Jones, after a severe struggle, overpowered his adversary, who escaped on the Corwen-road. Colonel Leyland's private bag and another were dragged from the postman, but they were all recovered.

THE WAR. REPORTED RUSSIAN LOSS OF 30,000 MEN. The Daily Telegraph correspondent at Shipka Las sent a despatch stating that on jvionday last the Turkish attacking column took from the Russians such strong positions that had the left and right wings acted in concert, according to Suleiman Pasha's order, the Russians would have had no alternative but to lay down their arms. These orders not having been properly carried out, the enemy had time to bring up strong reinforce- ments and the Ottomans were forced to retire. The Russian losses are estimated at 1,800, and the Turks 700 or 800. The darkness of the night accounts for the loss of the latter being comparatively small. The Ottoman advance guard fought hard for the possesssion of the heights, but the other corps were not able to come to their support. Another tele- gram gives the Turkish loss at 2,00} killed, and the Russian 500. The Times says the Russian campaign does not I now require Suleiman Pasha to be checked in the Shipka Pass. The decisive blow must be struck on the Jantra or the Via. If the Cesarewitch ia defeated by Mehemet Ali, the occupation of the Shipka Pass will be a source of danger instead of an advantage, as the 8th Arujy Corps, which is committed there, may very probably be cut off from all possibility of retreat to the Danube. The returns of the state of the muster rolls of the Russian force before Plevna furnish a ghastly. commentary on the accounts of 'the fighting on the 11th and 12th of this month. The 4th Army: Corps, commanded by General Zotoff, suffered so severely that its battalions, which should number < 1,000 bayonets, are now reduced to a strength of only 300 men. The losses among the troops with which General Skobelef captured the redoubts near the Sofia road on th 11th, and endeavoured to retain them on the 12th, amounted in these two days to GO per cent of the total force. The whole Russian Army which stood on parade 80,000 strong when reviewed by Prince Charles on tbe day be- fore the bombardment commenced, now numbers under 30,000. These figures do not represent the whole loss of the force besieging Plevna. The soldiers slain on the 11th and 12th still lie un- buried between the Russian lines and the Turkish intrenchments, as the Ottoman General has de- clined to grant an armistice to bury the dead. The expected cattle between Mehemet Ali and tbe Cesarewitch is still deferred. The hesitation of the Commander of the Army of Stiumla cannot be explained. It is to him that Osman Pasha must mainly look for relief, for much reliance cannot be placed on the 30,000 Irregulars who are said to be moving towards Plevna from Orchanie. These might be useful to hold a defensive position behind earthworks, but it is more than doub ful whether they can already possess sufficient tactical mobility to carry out the delicate operation of re- lieving a besieged fortress. While Mehemet Aii delays, the Russian reinforcements are arriving in Bulgaria, and are already present in some force. The Rifle Brigade of the Guard has already been reviewed by the Emperor at Gorny Studen, pre vious to taking its place in the line of battle. The 1 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Guards, which 1 number 8,000 men, are expected to arrive on Sun- day, and a portion of the 3rd and 11th Divisions have already occupied posts behind the shelter trenches which the Russian pioneers have thrown UP. to guard their lines against sorties by the garrison of Plevna. While his enemy daily gains strength, the Commander of the Eastern Ottoman Army halts inactive on the Banicka bom, although in sight of the Russian camps under the Jantra. Histardy advaace has already allowed the Cesare- witch to choose a position at his leisure, and to hedge it in within two lines of intrenchments. Unless within a space of time which may be reckoned in hours he strikes a hardy blow, the garrisons of these works may have become so strong that it will be hopeless to attack them.

THE GRAND NATIONAL SHEEP DOG TRIALS at Bala, which were at first arranged for the 11th of October, are now fixed for the following day, Octo- ber 12th, in consequence of a neighbouring agricul- tural meeting on the former date. THE CORNISH HALL ESTATE.—We understand that the Cornish Hail Farm which was recently offered for sale by Messrs Churton, Elphick, & Co., at the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester, has been sold by private treaty, so that the whole of the Cornish Hall Estate is now sold. TnE CHESHIRE FREEMASONS.—The annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cheshire, which was at- tended by upwards of 400 Freemasons, was held on Thursday, at Liseard, under the presidency of Lord de Tabley, R.W.P.G.M, who referred with satisfaction to the present prosperous position ot the order in bis own and other provinces. Bro. the Hon. Wilbraham Egerton, M.P., was appointed deputy P.G.M. of the province. The sum cf .£100 was voted towards the Indian famine relief fund.

HOLYWELL. SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION.—On Tuesday last a pleasant Excursion was arranged for the members of the senior classes and teachers in the English Congregational Sunday School. The weather was delightfully fine, and the party which numbered about thirty, proceeded by train to the ancient city of Chester, and thence by barge to Eaton Hall the princely seat of the Duke of estminster. In the afternoon tea was provided the party in Queen- street Chapel, and the remainder of the time was spent in viewing the various places of interest which the city affords. The arrangements were carried out by the Rev J. D. Riley, the pastor.

NORTHOP. CRICKET.—An interesting match was played at Northop, on Saturday, between Messrs Williams, the Vicarage, and others, and the members of the Northop Cricket Clul). Messrs Williams' team scored 57 in two innings, and the Northop club 59, with 10 wickets standing in the second innings, thus secur- ing an easy victory. RE-OPENING OF THE CHURCH.—The ancient parish church of Northop will be re-opened on Tuesday next, after undergoing thorough restoration, the cost of which has been mainly borne by the vicar 6f the parish, the R v Thomas Williams, M.A. There will be special English services in the morning and evening, the preachers being the Rev Eldon S. Bankes, M.A., and the Rev Edward Smart, M.A., rector of Denbigh. BURIED IN A SANDPIT.— An inquest was held before Mr Peter Parry, coroner for Flintshire, on Thursday, at Cefnerghan, Northop, on the body of John Williams, aged 77. It seems be had gone at three o'clock on the previous day into a sand-hole, in a field in the holding of Mr Davies, for the pur- pose of getting a load of sand. Not returning in reasonable time, a search was made for him by several of the neighbours, and he was found aA 11 o'clock at night, buried in the sand-hole, quite dea.d, and must have been dead several hours. He was only married about two months a.go to his third wife. He has left a wife and two sons. The jury returned a verdict of ° Accidental death."

HOLT. PRESENTATION TO MRS COXHEAD. The testimonial to Mrs Coxhead, upon her retirement J from the Vicamge in consequence of the death of the late vica.r, which has been subscribed for by about 200 of the inhabitants of Holt, including a few friends from Farndon, Chester, and Wrexham, was presented to that lady by the Mayor of Holt on behalf of the subscribers, on Tuesday, the 11th inst, at the Town Hall, Holt, it having been on view there during the day. The testi- monial exists of a drawing-room clock, with va es to match, of the Louis Quatorze period, richly gilt and inlaid with Serves China, beautifully painted from de- signs after Wa'teau. Also a portrait in oil of the Rev. John R. Edwards, late vicar of Holt, and of Miss Fanny Coxhead, daughter of Mrs Coxhead, with an elegantly- bound volume in crimson Morroco, containing the names of the committee and subscribers to the fund, the writing of which is a masterpiece of penmanship, and is the work of Dr. Armstrong, of Farndon. On the pedestal of the clock, upon a gold plate, is the following inscrip- tion :—"This clock, with other articles, was presented to Mrs Coxhead by the inhabitants of Holt and neighbour- hood, in testimony of the grateful affection they enter- tain for her, and as a memento of her bountiful disposi- tion to the poor of Holt and neighbourhood, and to all classes seeking her sympathy and bonevolence." Long before the appointed time every available part of the building was crowded by rich and poor of both sexes. Amongst others we neticed the following:—Mr S. Dale (Mayor), Mrs Dale, Miss Dale, Mrs Towndrow, Mr Tomlinson and Miss Tom.inson, Mr Rymer, Mr and Mrs Carrette, Dr. Armstrong, Mr Baker, Mrs Ejwards, Mrs Thomas, Miss Jackson, Mr Harrison (Farndon), the Revs. W. Williams, curate, and R. Leigh Roose, &c. Within a few minutes of four Mr and Mrs Coxhead entered the ball, and were heartily welcomed by all. With that smiling face, so natural to both, they held a brief conversation with some and shook hands with many. The Mayor having announced that the time for present- ing the testimonial had arrived all was hushed. Mr T. Rymer, solicitor, who presided, rose to address the meeting. He said they had met there on an occa- sion which had a twofold character, viz., to sympathise with her in the loss she had sustained through the re- moval by death of the late vicar; and they did really sympathise with her, but if it were possible he sym- pathised more with the poor people, who had sustained so great a loss through her removal from them into another sphere. The other was the pleasing duty they had to perform in presenting to her a slight testimony of the high esteem which the people of Holt entertained for her. He, Mr Carrette, aud others, consulted to- gether and formed a committee, and the result was the testimonial now about to be presented. There were no less than 182 names of subscribers inserted in the book. This would show that though the testimonial was not so costly as they could have wished, yet all contributed so t far as their means would allow, and he was glad to say the articles which had been selected were to the satisfac- tion of Mrs Coxhead and Mr Coxhead. He then called upon Mr S. Dale (Mayor) to present the testimonial, and in doing so he spoke to this effee-He was sure they were all very much pleased to meet there on such an in- teresting occasion. He felt extremely obliged to the committee for conferring upon him such an honour. They all knew how kind and liberal Mrs Coxhead was to all who needed her sympathy. It was more valued because she made no party distinction (applause). She contributed liberally towards relieving the wants of all indiscriminately. They were deeply indebted to her for her liberality on all occasions and for many years. He felt proud to think their town had shown that they could value such kindness. They were always pleased to meet Mrs Coxhead. Her beautful face, radiant with good nature and kindness, aud beaming with benevolence, presented a cheerful object to everybody who saw it (ap- plause). And though she had left Holt she had not for- gotten it; she still comforted those who were in distress. He had known her from childhood, and always found her ready to assist in every good work. And now," he said, Mrs Coxhead, it gives me very great pleasure to present to you these articles on behalf of the numerous friends who have subscribed. The portrait is a pleasing con- trast of youth and old age. We present them as a small memento of the esteem in which we hold you. Wherever divine Providence may lead you in the future Jvu iviil look upon these as an expression of good feeling of the people of Holt. I hope you will be pleased to accept them." Mrs Coxhead, in a very natural and graceful manner, expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the handsome testi- monial with which she was presented, and said she cuuld not find words that would adequately eouvey her grate- ful feelings. She stfould always remember them, and look upon it as an expression of their kindness. Mr Coxhead next spoke. He said his position was a rather false one. He had been but a short time amongst them. He was glad to state that he had no enemies in the town he was always on friendly terms with all. That expression of their kindness to his wife would serre as a mark to his child what course to pursue. The ex- ample set her by her mother should be unto her as a land- mark. He was sure, whenever she looked at that picture, she wouldinot forget Him who was the benefactor of her mother and her lather. He thanked all for the hand- some present, and especially Mr Rymer and Mr Carrette, for their individual exertions in getting up the spiendid testimonial. Mr Rymer spoke on behalf of Mf Carrette, who, on account of being a Frenchman, could not feel confident enough to address them in English. He said whatever trouble they both had taken in getting up a testi- monial was a labour of love. They were proud their names had been associated with ir. The Mayor moved a vote of thanks to Dr. Armstrong (Farndon) for having so beautifully written the names of the subscribers in the album, which was passed unani- mously. Dr. Armstrong, in rising to acknowledge it, said he thanked them all for the kind manner in which they had received his name. He had known Mrs Coxhead from her earliest infancy, and coulj testify to the genial feeling displayed by her and her parents. kinder-hearted Christian and better woman never existed. The sentiments of every one were that her loss would be deeply deplored. He said, from his heart, may God bless her. Mr Dolson called for three cheers, which were heartily given. Mrs Coxhead is leaving to-day for Rhyl, where she and her husband have been spending the last three months, and where they are likely to remain for some time yet. She leaves with the good wishes of all classes.

For years he was registration agent to the Conservative party for whem, in days when Conservatism was less prosperous than it is now, be rendered most valuable services. He had been in the service of the late Sir Watkin, and for 45 years in the service of the present baronet, by whom, we have no hesitation in saying, be was much respected In his dealings with his fellow men he was kind, gentle, and straightforward, and we have no doubt the public funeral which is to take place to day at two o'clock will testify to the high respect in which he was held by all who knew him.
