RiiUDDLAN. IMPORTANT SALE OF PURE BRED SHORTHORNS.— On Thursday, Mr John Thornton, tho well-known auctioneer, attended-Bodrhyddyn, the seat of Major Rowley Conwy, for the purpose of disposing of his old established herd of pure bred shorthorns. There was a large and influential gathering of noted cattle breeders and owners from various parts of Englandand the Principality. Thefollowing brief de- scription may be given of the herd:—It numbered about 75 head, and was started in 1856 by purchases from Mr Ellison, of Sizergh; Lord Penrhyn, the Hon. H. Noel HiD, Mr Bate, of Kelsterton; Mr E. W. S my the Owen, and other breeders. Some old and much-esteemed families are numerously repre- sented Bate's bulla have been used, and Lord Skel- mersdale's Edward Waterloo, 38,246, is now in service and for sale. The herd, noted for its dairy properties, has been successfully exhibited at the Denbighshire, Fiintshire, and other shows since 1858, and annual sales have dispersed the young animals, effecting great improvement in the general stock of the district and the adjoining counties. The sale generally was regarded with considerable interest; the day was fine, and everything aided the talent of the auctioneer in disposing of the lots in the most advantageous manner. The average price was 33 guineas; the highest price realised for any one animal was 125 guineas for the bull Edward Waterloo, No. 38,2-iG, which was bought by Major Platt. An heifer calved March 30th, 1877, was bought for 75 guineas by Mr Hyfhdd. There was no reserve, every animal being sold, and the total amount realised was 2,600 guineas.

CARNARVONSHIRE: ARTILT^RY VOLUNTEER CosirETi- Tios.—Too annual carbine competition of thy Carnarvon and Bangor batteries of artillery volunteers took phce on Waune:d.iy afternoon, at the range of the latter corps, at Beaumaris. Carnarvon won by six points. At the close of the competition, the batteries, with the members of the Naval Artillery Volunteers, were entertained by Oapt. Savage at dinner, at the Railway Hotel, Bangor. PRESENTATION TO G. WILKINSON-, ESQ.— handsome testimonial has just been presented to the above gentle- man by a large number of his friends in Aberdare. It consists of a drawing room clock, candelabia, and vases, also a chronometer watch and chain, the whole manu- factured by J. W. Benson, of Ludgate-hill and Old Bund- street, London. The clock is in ormulu and very beautifully decorated with cupids an3 floral designs. The wa'ch is a gold dumi-hunter full chronometer in which a new invention of Mr B:nson's has been intro- duced it is as follows:—The watch being a keyless stem winder it is fitted with an up and downdiul shew- ing exactly the condition of the winding, but when the front case is closed the winding is thrown out of gear which nullifies the effect of any accidental twisting of the stem when in the pocket; when the case is open the winding is effective and every change is registered on the indicator. The whole are engraved as follows Presented to G. Wilkinson, Esq., by the officials and employes of the Powell Duffryn Colliery Company, the Cwmaman and Sletty Shenkin Colliery Companies, also the tradesmen of Aberdare and neighbourhood and numerous other friends, as a token of respect and esteem." The cost, we believe, is close on £200.. STRANGE FULFILMENT OF A DREAM-ln connection with the City of Glasgow Bank failure we have heard of a somewhat peculiar instance of the literal fulfilment of a dream. On the day preceding tho announcement of tho stoppage of the bank, a Dundee commission agent Called at a grocery shop in Overrate for payment of an account. The shopkeeper produced his chequebook, wrote out an crder for the sum due, and then handed it. to the agent. At this timo the wife of the shopkeeper entered, and pointing to the chequebook lying on the counter, said it brought to her recollection a dream she had during the night to the effect that the bauk had fuiied and that all their money was lost. Though the dream had escaped her memory up till that time, it possessed so strong a hold of her mind that she suggested to her husband the propriety of an immediate withdrawal of his money. The shopkeeper's faith in the stability of the bank was not to be shaken, however, by what he character,sed as an idle dream, and accordingly he rejected what proved to be the prudent counsel of his wife. Of course the next morning, when he fcund his money locked up," it was mortifying for him ,refl-.ct that he would have had the cash in his own possession if he had followed his wife's prophetic warning. The commission agent, we may add, had not the slightest suspicion that the bank was in difficulties, but the relation of the strange story deeply impressed him, aud acting on the impulse of the moment, ho went at ouce to the bank and cashed the cheque.—Dundee Advertiser. THE LIVERPOOL WATER SCHEME.—Shrewsbury Town Councillors arc divided in opinion ou the ques- tion of Liverpool going to the Vyrnwy for a water supply. At Monday's meeting of the Shrewsbury Council several members spoke adversely to the scheme and in favour of supporting Worcester and other towns in opposing it, whilst others thought that Liverpool had taken a right course in going to the mountain districts for a water supply. Ultimately the matter was referred to the water committee to watch over and report upon if necessary. THE DRAINAGE OF WINDSOR.—The Windsor Drainage Works were formally put into operation on Monday, in the presence of the mayor and several members of the corporation, and now the sewage of the town is no longer discharged into the Thames. The works are situate at the Ham at Old Windsor, near the Windsor Castle Sewage Farm. The corporation have adopted Hille's system of precipitation, and it is intended to discharge the effluent water into the Thames, it being alleged that it will be sufficiently pure to meet the requirements of the Thames Conservators* The corporation are under agreement to purchax 13 acres o latid adjoining tho work. a.nd upon obiiu.mi- possession of it tney wiil use it for the purpose 0 i filtra- tion, wnich will add another degree of purity to the water and reduce the expenditure for chemicals. The buildings are of a handsome character, being constructed of red brick with stone dressings, and having high- pitched roofs with gable ends, the interior of the roofs being of white varnished pine. The engine and boilers are in duplicate and of great power, all the arrange- ments being of a most complete kind. The tanks are on elevated ground, the surface being three feet above the level of the highest of the floods which occasionally submerge the surrounding country. The works, which have been carried out under the direction of Mr Hawkesley, C.E., have cost about .CM.OOO. the money having been borrowed from the Public Works Loan Commissioners, repayable in 30 years. The principal and interest, it is calculated, will amount to a rate of about lOd in the pound. The result of the experiment is being watched with some interest, as the corporation have had considerable difficulties to contend with in devising a scheme to carry out the requirements of the Thames Conservancy Aot. THE PRISONS ACT—Mr Sclater Booth, president of the Local Government Board, at the Hampshire Quarter Sessions, on Monday, submitted the report of the financial committee, and said their experience of the Prisons Act. as far as it had gone, showed a saving to the county equal to about a halfpenny rate. The payments for the maintenance of children in industrial schools and at reformatories, which were heretofore made by the visiting justices, came under the cognisance of the finance committee. There had been a conflict of opinion in some counties whether these charges should not now be borne by the Home Secretary, the Government having taken charge of the prisons; and as an industrial school was a charitable institution, whilst a reformatory was of the nature of a prison, probably the subject, at least so far as reforma- tories were concerned, would come under the notice of the Home Secretary, with a view to legislation. TBBRIBLE SUFFERINGS AT SBA—P*riica!ars of the stranding and losj of the Liverpool vessel Buaamanoir, and the sufferings endured by the crew, five of whom were drowned, have been received at Liverpool. The Beaumanoir, a brigantino of 270 tons, originally left Liverpool on a voyage to Havana, with a cargo of eoals, and a crew of ten hands, all told. Havana was safely reaehed, and her cargo discharged. After taking ou board a consigoment of sugar, she left Havana for New York. Severe weather was encountered shortly after- wards, and on the 6th ult. it was blowing with hurricane force, while there was a strong current running with a very heavy sea. Tho weather was hazv and the lights on the coast obscured. The vessel was driven ashore on the Florida Reefs, and became a complete loss All the boats were gone, and the crew constructed a raft of tbe wreckage, and they were soon taken away from the acane of the disaster by the strong current. Tremendous seas swept over the raft.to which the poor fellows clung with desperate tenacity. This state of affairs las'.ed for some time, until five of them, bocomiag exhausted and help- less, were washed off the raft and drowned. The re- mainder, by the most vigorous exertions, were enabled to keep on the tiny structure; but, although their lives were so far spared, they were doomed to frightful suffer- ing. The disaster to the vessel was so sudden and so complete that no time was allowed them to get provi- sions or water, and for five days they neither ate nor drank anything. Tho captain was included in the sur- vivors, and he and the other four were almost maddened by excessive hunger and thirst. Fortunately, when matteis had almost assumed their worst aspect, tha barque Åstera hove in sight, aud teok the me i (n boa 1. As already announced, the men war3 by the barque at Qucenstown. Tne Birmingham Conservatives propose to contest all the wards on the 1st of November. LOCAL COMMISSIONS.—YEOMAKET CAVALRY.— Montgomeryshire: Mr R. M. P. Low, M.D., to be surgeon, vice M. L. Jones, resigned.

PANIC IN A LIVERPOOL THEATRE. THIiiTY-SEVEN LIVES LOST. A terrible disaster occurred on Fiiday night at the Colosseum The&ire, Liverpool, a place of emcitaiument where the audience ia siid to cnnslst ehiefly cf the poorer classes. About halt-past eight o'clock; when there were between 5,000 mid (j,UOO persons in the theatre, and a comic vocalist was singing tiie last verse of a song, a fight took place in the pit, which caused some disturbance. Some one at the back of the pit ra..sed a cry of Fire which appears to have been entirely unfounded, and a panic aL once took place. The peisons in the pit and upper circle rose fruui their seats and trade a rush to the main entrance, where the doors wore speedily blocked by the surging mass. Oilers, at the peril of their lives, swarmed dowu the pillars frum tho g;i!lieiies to the pit below. The result was a shocking and deadly crush. The people fell headlong down the stairs, until they lay in a pile five and six deep, and thirty-scveii persons were crushed to death or suffocated, aDd many more injured. All the thirty-seven bo-iies have b-en identified. The coroner's inquest was formally opened cu Saturday for evidence of identification, and then adjourned t ill Friday (yesterdayJ. Tao theatre was re-o-;ened on Monday night, The mayor has decided not to make any public appeal on behalf of tho thirty pertons rendered destitute by the disaster, be being of opinion that a suiffcient sum be forchejtaing sroru private sources to meet the n°c< e-ities of the case.

AGRICULTURE IN NORTH WALES [WRITTEN SPECIALLY FaR THE Guardian.J The a^vi ?ulturat returns for the past year afford gome :nfcr; ^ing particulars of the progress of the different c 'p.rtment«s of agriculture. The exten- sicn in the e kivation of certain kinds of corn and roots to the depr^.ci >tioa of others is strikingly g]ir-c--i w^ile the increase in the acreage under -ueiit paacura^e iauicites that tho conversion, ^rtich has been gcin^- ca of late years, is stili in operation. Denbighshire alone shows an increase of permanent pasture of over two thousand acres, and Flintshire of fourteen h n adred. There can be no doubt with-the con ion that exists for the growth of orn, the I" "ding of cattle is more profi:able, and the recent legislature enactments stooging as they do the facilities of the importation of live cattle, will tend to make this still more so. Considering this, it is surprising that the breeding Of clttle in the district has not extended more than it has. in Denbighshire, the total number of oatiio instead of increasing has decreased over a thousand head. In Flintshire, however, it has increased Deaily eight hundred. The breeding of sheep has, however, considerably increased in both counties, more especially in Denbighshire, the number this year compared with the previous year is nearly 20,000. Agricultural horses, too, have increased in the two counties. The increase, however, has been in unbroken horses fciid brood mares, the horses kept for agricultural proposes having decreased instead of increased. The returns are collected on the 4th of June to .-11(n the year dates. They are obtained from occupiers of not less than a quarter of an acre of land, and also from owners of live stock who do not occupy land, but cottagers' pigs are excluded, as well as pigs kept in towns. The following are the returns relating to Denbighshire and Flintshire :— The total area of Denbighshire is ;-92,005 acres. Of these 258,181 were under crops, bare fallow and grass last year biH this year, has extended to 160.462 acres. Oats is the most favoured corD, but its trrowth has slightly fallen off. In 1877 it was 25,945 acres, this year it is 25,894. Barley or bere comes next, but here again there is a considerable falUnc off in its cultivation. In 1877 18,592 acres were cultivated, but this year it only amounts to 18.j:). Wheat has iccrea^ed 129 acres-in 18/7 it was 13,692, this year it is 13,821. In beans, •however there is a f\;1i1"g off of nearly 350 créS- in ha Peas likewise hart decreased nearly 100 acres—111 1877 there were 453 seres this year there is only 356. Rye has increased just one acre—last year there were 229 this year there is 230. The total of corn crops in 1877 amounted to 59,977 acres, this year it has fallen decrease of 643 acres. There has, however, been a less desire to cultivate crreen crops than corn crops, they having decreased no less than 908 acres. In 1877 14,410 acres were laid out in green crops this year there as only "13,502. Turnips and swedes in 1877 monopolized 8,775 acres, this year farmers have been content with 8,266acres. "Potatoes were grown last year in 4,090 acres this year in only 3,772. Vetches and other green crops, except clover and grass, have decreased from 814 acres in 1877 to 711 this year. Mangold has slightly decreased—in 1877 it was 606 acres, this year it was 530. Cabbage kohl-rabi and rape are the only green crops that have increased, and this increase is marked—in 1877 it was only 67 acres, this year it is 114. Carrots have decreased from 58 acres in 1877 to 49 in 1878. In the land under cultivation for clover, sanfoin and grasses under rotation there is an increase this year of 1,237 acres, the amount being last year 39,099, and this year 40,336. This increase is occasioned by the extension of ground laid down for hay, there being a decrease in land under cultivation for clover, &c., tot for hay of 539 acres. The figures are—for hay (187:) 24,275, (1878) 26,051; not for hay (1877) 14,824, (1878; 14,285. The great increase, how- ever, is in the extension of permanent pasture or grass not broken up in rotation (exclusive of heath or mountain land), which has increased from 142723 acres in 1877 to 144,919 in 1878. The amount brought into use for hay was, in 1877, 29,667, in 1878,31,000 acres. That used not for hay was, last year, 113,056. this year, 113,917 acres. In 1877 three acres were used for the cuttivation of £ ax. Since thee, however, this has been used for other purposes, and flax has not been cultivated in the county. The extent of bare fallow or nn- cropped arable land increased from 1,969 acres in 1877 to 2,371 this year. Coming to the live stock, for the same county we find that the total number of horses (incmdwg ponies) as returned by occupiers of land, numbered in 1877, 11,919, and in 1878, 12,491. Of these, -6.298 were used in the fir,4 year solely for purposes of agriculture, &c., and in the latter year 6,110. Unbroken horses and mares, kept solely for breed- ing, numbered in 1877 5,61.1, while this yem they fcave increased to 6,381. The total number of cattle has decreased nearly a thousand. In 1877 it was 54786, but this year it only amounted to 53,895. 4 The nnmber of cows and heifers in milk or in calf in 1877 was 22,820, and this year 22 689. In 1877 there were 9,519 two years of age and above (not classed above), and last year 8,497. Under two years qf age in 1877, 22,447; 1878. 22.709. The number of sheep kept has extended during the year nearly 20,000. In 1877 they numbered 261,804, and this year 280,785. There were 175.399 one year old and above in 1877, and this year 188,468. Under one year 9ld (1877) 86,405, this year 92 317. Pigs have likewise increased, but only to a slight extent. In 1877 there were 45,495, and this year 25,682. Flintshire has an area of 169,162 acres, of which 126,274 was under crops, bare fallow, and grass in 1877, and 128,326 this year. The largest corn crop ia oata. In 1877 there were 11,616 acres, and this year 11,479. Wheat comes next with 11,055 last year, which this year is increased to 11,803. Barley follows with 7,279 acres in 1877 and 11,479 this year. Beans are about the same as last year-when there were 1,286 acres against 1,277. The growth of peas hasbeen considerably decreased. In 1877 there wcie 443 acres cultivated and this year there is only 270. Rye has buj- sljgb-jy altered—decreasing from 61 acres in 1877 tn 59 year. The total number of acrea in the county under corn crops in 1877 was 31,740, and this year there are 31, 679, The cultivation of potatoes has decreased from 2,549 acres in 1877 to 2,487 in the present year. Turnips and swedes have also de- creased, for in 1877 there were 4,314 acres, and this year there is only 4.18Q. Vetches and other green crops, except. clover grass, have also slightly de. creased—in 1877 there were 798 acres cultivated, and this year there are only 606. Mangolds have slightly increased, from 573 acres in 1877 to 582 this year. Cabbage, kohl-rabi, and rape have in- creased two acres in extent, being 67 in 1877 and 69 thia year. Carrots, however, have decreased from 14 in 1877 to 11 in 1878. The total extent of green crops in 1877 was 8,315 acres, and in 1878 7,935. The extent of land under cultivation for clover, sanfoin, and grasses under rotation has increased over a thousand acres. In 1877 it amounted to 16,809, and this year there are no less than 17,988 acres, of which 13,344 is laid down for hay compared with 12,152 acres last year. In 1877 there were 4,657 acrea not for hay, and this year there are 4,644. The permanent pistuie or grass not broken up in rotation (ex- -elusive of heath or mountain land) has also con- siderably increased—from 66,509 acres in 18/7 to 67.944 this year. Of this 14,321 acres were used for hay last year against 14,8E8 this year. That not used for day 1877 amounted to 52,188 acres against. 53,106 this year. The cultivation of flax has decreased an acre—in 1877 there were 2 acres and this year there is only one. Bare fallow or un- crepped arable land has decreased mere than a 100 acres-in 1877 it was 2,899 acres, this year there are only 2,779. # Turning to the live stock in the county we have Bome interesting particulars. Horses, including ponies (as returned by occupiers of land), have increased from 5,591, last year, to 5,750 this year. Of these 3,474 were used for purposes of agriculture lar.t year, whereas this year there are 3,368. The unbroken horses and mares, kept solely for breeding in 1877, numbered 2,117, compared with 2,382 this year. Cattle have decreased. In 1877 there were 26,773, whereas there are now only 26,006. Of these 13.122 in 1877 were cows and heifers in milk or in calf, and this year there are only 13,090. Those, two years of age and above, numbered in 1877 to 3,790, and this year 3,338; those under two years of age 1 at year were 9,861, and this year 9,588 Sheep, however, have considerably increased —in 1877 there were 63,750, while this year they number 67,952. They are divided—one year old and above, 1877, 39,872, this year 39,606; undtr old, 1877. 25,878, this year 28,246. Pigs, to. have increased, althoGhly slightly. In 1877 number, d 14,862. while this year they have inc. eased to 14,9.t3, In our n> xc we shall refer to the other Wales counties, and in addition give some interesting 'particulars relative to the general growth of crops, &c., in North Wales.

REGISTRATION COURTS. 1 TUESDAY.—THE COUNTY LISTS. Mr A. Coxon sat at the Town Hall on Tuesday, for the purpose of revising the lis of voters of the vurious I townships within the polling district of Wrexham. The Conservatives were reprssented by Mr E an Morris, Mr J. A. Hughes, Mr T. Bury, Mr Povser, and Mr J. Devereux-Pugh; and the Liberals by Mr John Jones, Mr Henry Humphreys, Mr Aahtou Bradley, and Mr Owen G, Jones. The following were the only contested claims of any interest•— Robert A. Rasbothem (C), of Gians Alyns, "resford, claimed on the ground of being occupier of a house exceeding the value of £50 per annum. On be:, g sworn he stated that he had been occupier of the house in question about 21- years, and the rent was £100 per annum.—On examination by Mr Jones, ho said his father lived with him and he with his father (laughter). There was a considerable establishment in connection with the house, but portion of the horses and furniture was his property.—Mr Hughes said Mr Rasbothem, senr., was a widower, and often away from home for months together. The claimant was a guard;an of the poor, &c. —The Revisor said he couH understand that a man who took no interest in public affiirs should give up matters to his son.—Mr Jones supposed the claim would not be allowed in such an equivocal case.—The Revisor confessed that upon consideration he did not think the matter was such an unreasonable one. and that he was justified in believing what Mr Rasbothem said. You have been in occupation for sometime, Mr Rasbothem ? —Answer: Yes. sir, 2-1 years.—Mr Hughes: If they were both tenants we should bo entitled to two votes.— The Revisor said the Liberals hid objected to the wrong man. Nest time they should object to both. He did not thicK himself justified in disbelieving what Mr Rasbothem had said, therefore the claim would be allowed. Mr Williams (C), of Llanypwll, claimed as being occupier of house and lands with a rental exceeding £50. He rented a farm at £54 per year. Had rented it for 20 years.—Mr Jones Have you not had your rent reduced lately?—Answer: No; not this 15 years.— Question: And are you paying over £50 a year now ?— Answer: Yes; and here is my rent book.—The Revisor: Don't get excited, my man. —Mr Williams I can't help it, sir.—The claim was allowed with 5s costs against the Liberals. In til* case of Charles Rocke, of the firm of Joues and Rocke, who claimed fcr successive occupation, seme h muse merit was caused. It appeared that a part of the yyar Mr Rocke was rosining in Aclon, another part in (rrcsiord, and wben the came on he Wtss residing it; Wrexham. Thi :caujed soma difficulty in tracing his qualification, bu eventually his vote was allowed, the Revising Barrister remarking that he was not very much like a rock (laughter). WEDNESDAY—THE BOROUGH LISTS The Revising Barrister opened the borough revision by a few remarks on the new Registration Act. He said under it the overseers would have very different work to what they had been accustomed to, and perhaps they would like to think about their new work. For the future the lists would not be made alphabetically. They would be made oui from the rate bock, and the new rate books would have to bo made out according to streets, so that the claimants and voters would be brought near together. He supposed that in most parishes the rate book was made out pretty much ac- cording to streets, but at Ruthin it was made out any- way. No doubt it would simplify matters very much if the rate book were made out somewhat in accordance with locality. In respect to objections and new claims, there was nothing said about, them in the act but they ought to be out in the same way, so that the objections should take their place with the list of voters. At present they did, as the lists were made out alphabetically, but as this ceased the other must also, and the list of claimants made out on the same principle as the rate book. A claimant should be put on the list in the same place as be would if he was a voter, because the revising Barrister would in future have tø write in the claims in their proper place, and not simply sign the list. As the lists were made out at present there would not be room for him to write in fresh names, and therefore they should be made out in the shape of books. Overseers in boroughs would also have to make Out three lists 1st, those who were entitled to be on the parliamentary and borough lisrs; 2nd, those who were entitled to be on the par- liamentary list and 3rd, those who were entitled to be on the borough list, and the revising barrister would have to revise them all. He then read a portion of the act respecting the arrangement of names according to srreets. &n., and said that it did not appear that the rate book must be made out according to streets but it followed that it should be. Then as to the publishing of the list. In every parliamentary and municipal borough where the area is co-extensive it was directed that the lut be published in the manner directed by the act. They must be fixed in some public and conspicuous position in or near the post office, or telegraph office, and near the parochial or municipal offices. Of course it was difficult for an overseer to carry these instructions in his head uutil next year, so he would advise the overseers to buy a copy of the set and study it, otherwise vlso there may be a great deal of trouble to them and to whoever may have to revise the lists, and perhaps he may be allowed to recommend them to buy a copy of the act rather thaa any of those little books in reference to the act which probably were in the press. He found that acts of parliament were really more clear and easily understood than many of these little books which were published to make it clear. The act would only apply to boroughs and under it they would have to state the grounds of their objection to persons—the schedule respecting which he then read. Mr Junes said they gave the grounds of objection now in the county but not in the boroagh. The Revising Barrister said giving grounds of objections would not refer to new claims because they would not know about these until they came mto court. They would also fiud the form of the objeetiou in one of the schedulos. Mr Jones There will be three lists for W rexham ? Toe Revising Barrister so it will be at Denbigh and Ruthin. Mr Jones here took exception to notices of objection? given by the Conservatives, and said he would ask the opinion of the revising barrister upon the point. The notices were signed by George Bevan, described as of 2, Heap Terrace, Erddig Road Mr Jones 'objection was that Mr Bevau's uame wa only OIl the register then in force f r ;he borough not on the hstot voters which the barrister was revising, and contended that the n'me of an objector should be on the list of voters before the barrister. The point was ably argued at great length by Mr Jones and Mr Morris, the latter saying that section 17 of the Registration Act, 1843, provided that t objector mast be on the list of voters," and arguing that the only list of voters in force was Of the register of voters," and that the list of names published by the overseer was not a list of voters until it had been revised and published; also that section 7 of the same Act should be read in conjunction with section 17.— Mr Jones said Mr Morris argued that any person on the current register bad power to object to persons on the list of voters. That would apply to the county but not to the borough. The Barrister was of opinion I-that the liit referred to in the section meant the list which ha hid to revise and not the register, and he decided accordingly, but granted a case, which was taken. On taking the Wrexham Regis lists, the Conservatives objected to Alfred O. Biugh, of Temple-row, on the grounds that there was not sufficient qualification and that there was no qualification described.—The revisor said he had power to amsiid.—On examination, Mr Baugh stated that he paid jE15 a year for two rooms over the County Court.—In answer to Mr Bury, Mr Baugh said ns held these rooms last year in connection with his partner, Mr Shone, but hisj/partner was never there.—Tbe Revisor: Bat then the rent comes out of a common fuud.—The claim was disallowed. Captain Seagram claimed for occupation of honsa in Grove Park. The L berals objecteJ, and an interesting point arose as to whether the term twelve months pre- vious to the 31st July included the last day of the preceding July cr commenced from the 1st day of August. Captain Seagram had some goods in the pre- mises previous to the 1st August, but he was not really in possession until that day.—The Revisor said he generally favoured the claimant, and therefore he should do so in this case, and allowed the vote. He, however, offered a case to the objectors. John Dale claimed for No. 1, Mount Pleasant. The Couseivativas objected, Mr Bury arguing that the shop in connscfion with the house was occupied by someone ehe.-—DaIo said he had a private and separate entraisce to the house, which was distinct from the shop.—The Revisor altered qualification to house," and allowed the claim. W:liiam Divies, for house adjoining the Catholx Cnapel, was objected to by the L¡berBl,}1r Jones: Are yoa not the chapel keeper?—Davis: No; and don't want to be. Wouldn't have anything to do with them. —Question Is not this place part of the chapel ?— Answer No, it is not.—Question Is it under the same No. it is not.—Question: Have you a door separate from the chapel ?—Answer Yes, I have, tw0 The Revisor said Mr Jones seemed to be beaten on ,ll1 points, and after further conversation awarded olnimiat 2 s 61 fevs.—Mr Da vies That won't pay me my day's wages. He then took bis hat, and indignantly wakked down the hall. Eventually, however, he returned amid much laughter claimed the 2s 61. John Powell wai obje cted to by the Radicals, but Mr Jones refused to examine bim.—The Barrister said he boQlJ award 5i expenses.—Mr Jones said he had good rca-oa fei-forbearing—Mr Powell: Make him explain himself, sir.—The Revisor 5s.—Mr Powell: I will take the crowa of you, John Jones (lond laughter). After Powell had left the court Mr Jones explamed that the man was not compos mentis, and If he had examined him he thould have driven him mad.—Mr Bury said the man was not so foolish as to refuse the 5s, and Mr Morris remarked tbat he was wiser than some who had gone before, and refused 2s 6d. William H. Tileton, the Liberal agent and objector, was objected to by the Conservatives.—Mr Morris said the sLuot was bad on the face if it. Part of No. 3, High-street, was not a good qualification, and was also incorrecf.—Mr Tilston said he had a distinct entrance.— Mr Morris Have you a key which admits through Mr EJisbury's shop in High-street ?—Mr Tilston No.— ` s Qaeslion: Now, is not tile sign of your office in Hope- stroet ?-Answer: Yes.—Mr Morris Tivn that is not in High-street, at ail. You h-ivj ni srrevit. and your offices are roaiir m ttr The part for whicn he q iaV-fu.-d, 3, High-streer, he has no control of whatever.—Tho Revhor thought it a mis- description, and one which he had no power to amend.— Mr Jone3 said in sense of tho wo.-d the office was in High-street, but U¡èi'e was a back eniranee in Hope- street.—Mr Tilston fully explained the position of the premises, and said all his letters were headed 3, High-street, and there was an entrance in if;gh-street.-The Revisor ruled that the description should have been in accord- ance with the entrance to the premise-1, and he must I therefore disallow the vote, but offered a case.—Mr Morris then submitted tha1; Mr Tilsion's raine having been erased from the lis: of voters, published by the overseers, was not, at the date of the re';ision, on any list of votera, and, therefore, as lie had signed all noticcs of objection, thcie notices were bad.—After some argument the revising barrister granted a case on the point. R. C. Fearnley claimed for occupation of offices in Temple-row. Tho Liberals objected, and it baing elicited that the effic3S were jointly occupied by Mr Fearnley and Mr Bratten the claim was refused. T. Heywood claimod for house in Hirder, and was objected to by tho Liberals, who alleged that the rent was paid by his father. The claim was allowed with 10s expenses. The Revising Barrister held an evening sitting, for the convenience of working-men and others. The court .opened at 6.30, and was continued until near minnight. Thomas Sjrcotnbo wns objected to by the Liberals, on the grounds that the houso for which he claimed was situated in a yard, rented by his brother, who paid the rate.The Revisor said he understood that in this case the house was sub-let, and he had decided over and over again, both in favour of Mr Janes and against him, that a claim could be made good under such circumstances, under the 19th section of the Act of 1869. He refused, however, to allow costs. Arthur Cogan claimed for premises, 3, High-street. Mr Morris objected on the same grounds as mentioned in the case of Mr Tilston, and the claim was disallowed, but a case granted to be coupled with Mr Tilston's. James Griffith, Bjast Market, claimed in succession, but was objected to ny the Liberals, who alleged thaL be had been in lodgings with a man named Levi. His examination was carried on by several gentlemen, and trot) answers of the claimant were very contradictory.— Mr Morris: Do you live in i'%Iarkel,-etre-.t ?-Ati,,wer: Left there weeks ago (laughter).—Mr Bradley Now, have you been in lodgiugs?—Answer: Never in. ^dgings.—Did you ever live with Levi?—Answer: Mo.—Mr Joaes Do you know Levi ?—Answer I know you.—The Revisor Did you ever live with Levi?— Answer; Not this two years.—Mr Jones said he would send for Lavi, if the revisor would take another case in th-j meantime.-Griffith to Mr Jones: I'll have you up (laughter).—Levi having arrived he stated that Griffith was turned out of his house, and he having nowhere to go he took him into his house. This was about twelve months ago, last June or Augub-t.-The Revisor: Which month was it, Levi ?- Answer: Well, say August then (daughter).—Mc Bradley Which house was he turned out of ?-Answer: No. 19.-Grifflth No; I was turned out of none.—Mr Bradley Was that before he lived in Market-street ?—Answer Yes, he went to live there when he left me.—Mr Morris You say Griffith came with you ?—Answer Yes.—Question You say in June ?—Answer Ir might have been, I don't take much notice.-Griffith (interrupting) said he left in June twelve months.—Mr Bradley Let us see that rent book. -Griffith You are very clever, you are (laughter).— Examined by the Revisor Levi said Griffith was turned out of 20, Beast Market. He had a few things belonging to him, which he took iato hi$hoass.—The Revisor How long did Griffith stay in your house ?—Levi: Till he left, sir (loud laughter).—The Revisor: Well, yes, but how many days was it?—Answer: Closo upon twelve months.—The Revisor proceeded to say that the case was in much doubt, when Griffith in a thick voice commenced a story, which could not be heard for laughter. The Revisor hereupon asked if a pohceman waa in the hall.—Mr Tilston asked if he should send for ono.-The Revisor Yes, yes; I am entitled to have one.—Mr Morns again proceeded to examine the claimant, but his answers were very contradictory, and the Revisor said it was a waste of time to examine him. His claim was not made out. R. H. V. Kyrke claimed for offices in Westminster Buildings, Hope-street, and the Liberals objected, arguing that the case was similar to Mr Tilston's. The eutaance they said was from an Arcade, which in reality was a part of Argyle-street; whilst the Conservatives argued that the Arcade was a portion of Westminster Buildings. The matter having been argued at some length, the Revisor said he thought in this case the question was more in reference to the control claimant had over the otfices.-lu answer to qacstiojis Mr Kyrke said he had not a key in his absolute possession, because he was promised that the (;ffices should always bo accessible when he wanted them.—The Ravisor pointed out that there must be an abiolute physical control over the entrance, which trjç claimant did not appear to have. He did not consider the claim to be made out. Thomas Henry Bancroft, who claimed its a lodger, was objected to by the Liberals, who alleged that the rental was not sufficient, but the claim was sustained. Mr Eagene Mullins, Mr George Pilling, and others were also objected to by the Liberals, but were successful in obtaining votes. Towards the close of the night's proceedings a little enthusiasm wes shown, hear, hear, and applause being often heard. Eventually Mr Jones complained of this, and the Revising Barrister said he certainly should not allow it but there was so much noise going on that he had not distinguished it. He then gave instruction to the police officer to eject any person who should appldud. It may be mentioned that eight of the Conservative objections sustained are subject to a case, Mr Bevan being objected to a. the "objector," but a case was also granted against Mr W. H. Tilston, the Liberal objector, which, if sustained, will add two votes to the Conscrva- tive gain. The Revising Barrister made anothor evening sitting on Thursday, when he completed the lists for the borough. No case of particular interest arose, and the interest of the public seemed to have somewhat subsided. Several claims were objected to by ttie Liberals, who eventually admitted that they had been misinformed in respect to the claimants, and the barrister of course, allowed the claims with 5; expenses. In one instance a little amusement was created by the L'beral agent asking one of the claimants to wait a few minutes for his 5s whilst he sent for more change. The result, of the revision for the parliamentary borough of Wrexham is supplied to us by Messrs Acton and Bury, who are prepared to vouch for:,t accuracy. It is as follows:— Con. Lib. Objections sustained. 13 27 New claims 86 47 Lodger claims 13 2 Total 112 76 Couservative gain 86 HOLT. The Revising Barrister held a court for the revision of the list of voters for the Holt district for the county and a'so the borough on Thursday, the 17th inst. Mr Evan Morrij, Wrexham, appeared for the Conservatives, and Mr Humphries, and Mr Tilston, Wrexham, for the Liberals. The proceedings, as usual, were rather amusing, as on the names of the persons objected to or who claimed being called, about half-a-dozen in the body of the hall spoke at once for or agaicst the voter. There were no cases involving any point of public interest, but it may be remarked that an auusual number of claims and objections were made. On the borough list there was a substantial gain to the Conservatives. RUABON. The Revising Barrister (Mr A. Coxon) held a court here on Monday last, to revise the lists of county voters for the polling districts of Ruabon and Rhosymedre. Tile Conservatives were represented by Mr Evan Morris and Mr Thomas Bury, and the Liberals !by Mr John Jones and Mr W. H. Tilston. There were a considerable number of claimants on both sides, most of whom attended to prove their quali- fications. In nearly every instance it appears that the property claimed for was heavily mortgaged and many claims were disallowed for this reason, the requisite 40s interest in the property not being shewn. The Liberals objected to four votes on the old list in respect of free- hold rent charges ar'sing out of the Wynnstay estate. The deeds creating the rent charges were produced to- gether with receipts for the last annual payments, but as the deeds did not shew any valuable consideration for the charges, and in the absence of proof of regular pay- ment of the annual sums, the barrister stated that be must decide in favour of the objections. Mr Christmas Jones, of London Rouse, Cefn, claimed in respect of freehold property at Well-street, Cefn Mawr. It appeared, however, that a deposit only had been paid on the contract in October last, the purchased not having been completed until seven months since. The barrister held that the claimaint's interest in the contract was not sufficient to entitle him to vote and the fact of the property not being conveyed before the 31st January last was fatal to the claim. Richard Morris, of Cefn Bychan, claimed a vote in respect of freehold property at Queun-square, Rhosy- medre, but as tho claimant is a member of the p >lice force the barrister stated that he had no power to place him on the list although the property qualification was quite sufficient. The result of the revision will probably shew a slight gain to the Liberals. LLANSILIN. The Revising Barrister's cour was held here yesterday (Friday), and was the last for the circuit. Mr Evan Morris, Wrexham, and Mr Rich ird~, Juur., Llangollen, appeared for the Conservat res, and Mr Tilston, Wrex- ham for the Liberals. The I osness of the court passed off without any occurrence of public impacton. At the closo of the b-siness, Mr Evan Morris took the op- ) portunity to thank the revising barrister for the courtesy and con-ideration which he had shown to ail the agents. 1 He especially referred to Wrexham, where t h barrister t had, at much personal inconvcnionce, sac two successive J ni -hts u>;r>l a late hour. 1

No motion was made Oll tiw subject. QUAY LOCKUP. The sum of £ 1,250 was voted to provido lockup and police station at Conuah's Quay. THE NEW HIGHWAY ACT. With reference to the Highway Act passed during last session, the Chairmun remarked that when the Act was passed enabling the formation of higilway boards some years ngo, it was not adopted by that court. Now the condition of things WhS very different, as they knew, many of their prin- cipal roads had been disturnpiked, aud the management of them fell into the lands of persolls who were not coguisallt with the making of road, 80 that tile repair was inetfideutly done, and the roads became into 30 serious condition. They now pmposed tp go under the Act of 18/)2, fiud apply Jor a provisioual urder, by which the highway distriet will be made conterminous with the fanitary districts, By the Act. half of the expelle8 illcurreJ in maintaining the disturn- piked road will fall ou the couut1 rate; und it was necess a-y that they should appoint SOllleOne to ce that these roads were mailltulued ill It state of dïiciency such aô would satisfy thut court, Imet he suggested they should advertise ill the public papers for a person of the kind, whv should report to them upon the roads so disturnpiked. He ubo :,u:e,reoÍ that t11c magistrates should tign a requisition to the Cierk of the Peace, asking him to call a meeting of the court to adopt tile ACl. The quedion coald then be formally discussed at their next oourt. Capt. Pennant explained that in future the disturnpikod roads w j'u:d I.Jc Cùl1cd main roùds, half of the C03t of main- tèJlanCe of which would be provided out of the CJUary rclte3, but they could only flay ihe money to tile surveyors or waywarcteuô u1 the several to\VJ.1hip" on the certificate or thair otvu surveyor tli.it "UCh roads wer iu proper repair.

Mr Kyrke asked 1f thore was any reasan why they should appoint the surveyor before the 26til uf Maretl ? The Chairman answered It was desiraoie that the surveyor should know Imd report upon the prüseut state of the ruads 150 they could judge what expenditure would be necessary. He must also bee that the money should lie judiciously expended. 1\11' Kyrke doubted whetuer the Act would boar the construction put upon it by tile chairman. The HOll. G. T. Kenyonsaid tiiat lr Puleston and him elf wished that tile Court would exclude th", Overcoa end of the couu..)" from auy prol)o3C:,1 arrangement for the present, S0 that they migut see ho .v they stood with reference to the sanitary districts, inasmuch Wi that outlying portion of th" county was in some three sanitary districts. The Cbairmau "aill he upprettendea there would be no objec1ion to that arrangement, anù suggested tue llames 01 himself, Mr Pennant, Mr St. John Cl1arfton, Mr tl.¡;ham, )11' Walter H. Buddicom, ana Colonel Cooke as the committee. Mr Pennuut could not agree with the Chairman, as he deemed it important that they shuuld have but oue standarù to go by, tilerefore the question should be referred to one competent person who should advise the Court of Quarter Sessions what to do. '11Lre was a. long conversati m, which ended in Mr K -nyon seconùiug tho motion of the Chairman, while Mr, Pennant found no t-upporter. Tha Chairman's su¡,;ge8tion was then carried. Tile Chairman then moved they should allverthe for a Surveyor, whose appointmeut should bd until the euà of Apr.], "t a sajary of £ ifs U. week, which was agreed to. The committee 1:iu,,);steu by the Chairman was then formally appointed to mate arrangements about the management of the roads, the width of whecla,8.nd the wenr of lueoUlotivtj engme¡¡, &c. THE GAOL. The Chainnan said they had only the other day obbinod an answer from tile War Ot1ice, ùeclilliüg to take over tile gaol either Il."i a miiitia barra.kt3 or military prison. It was offered to the county for (1. sum ul £3,7j Ss, or ií tile Home Department could sell it 1 r RUY sum Ll excess of that amount, the excess would Iw piaced to tbe credit of tile county. He thought that under the circumstances it would be better j;) let the Hallie Office make tiw bsst vI it, us such a building would be of 1.:0 use ill their hands, and it would not be wisc to spend £ 3,278 more upou it, on the hope of gettiug more than that sum for i.

The Chairman desired tojknow what the Court would do "ith this Act. It would be imperative upon 1 hem to appoint oue veterinary surgeon at a retaining fee, and they might ap- point two or even three.t WA3 agreed to appoint 141' Williums, ot Caerwys, and ::111' Koberts, \Yrre.tu.mi.

Colonel Wills asked that some very necessary repairs 5hould ue dune at tue Militia UarritOKS. Mr Banks explained that that raied 0. very large question. It was believed that when the military depu: were provided, the barracks which they ha l built would bet tbeir propnrcy. It was deciùed that a lener be writ [en to tbe War Office reminding it of ihe letter of ,1 uue 8th, nd asking if tho Government inteuded to buy the Bllrra¡;k. or Lake them 011 THE CHIEF CONSTABLE'S BEPOBT.

Tbe Chairman, in his address, was sorry he could not Con- £ ratul-tte them on that occasion on thi prosperity of tlw country. No doubt:\ long nml calamitous war had beeu averted, and he thonght that in the opinion of the majority of th sensi- ble people of this country, an affectual peace h td been secured, while tlw honoul and diglJity of this country,had been maln- talned untarnished. At the same time a cloud was no arising on the hofizon, oue that might break out. into u. long aad costly war.

He also added a few wov la aneut the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, asking them to comply with the spirit and letter of the law.
