BETHESDA. LOCAL EISTEDDFOD. This annual gathering was held in this town, as usual, on St. David's Day. The proceedings of the Eisteddfod were commenced on Tuesday night by a concert at the Market Hall, which was presided over by the Rev. John Evans, M.A., Maesygroes, the Rev. E. Stephens being the conductor. The following artistes took part in the proceedings, viz., Llew Llwyfo, Miss Kate Wynne, Miss M. Owen, Shiloh, Cyndeyrn, Garmonydd, and Eos Ogwen, who were ably accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. R. p". berts, Training College, Carnarvou,-Harp, Mr. John E. Davies, Bethesda. The Pennillion singers were Hedydd Trefriw and Eos Mai. The Penrhyn Roy.Ll Brass Band also enlivened the audience with their heart-stirring me- lodies. Garmonydd was encored each time he sang Miss Kate Wynne was also exceedingly well received in all her songs, and her Peidiwch a dweyd wrth fy Nghariad," in Welsh costume, and her bobbing curtsies, created quite a furore. Miss Wynne also sang" Gelert's Grave" with much taste and precision; her intonation being distinct and marked with a sympathetic expres- sion. The Solo on the pianoforte, by Mr. Roberts, was .capitally rendered. Llew Llwyfo, though affected with cold, did not fail to make an impression upon the au- dience, who, as usual, loudly applauded him through- out. The cone art, in more senses than one, was a perfect success—the receipts at the door, this evening alone, be- .ing upwards of £ 60. At one o'clock on St. David's Day a procession of Bards, Ovates, Minstrels, &c., was formed at Ty'ntwr Schoolroom, and proceeded through the town, and into the Market Hall, headed by the Brass Band.

DENBIGH. I THE FREE READINQ KOOM,—Mr. Simpson, manager of the lihyl and Liverpool steamers, kindly gave a popu- lar entertainment, entitled Old Songs and New," at, the Town Hall, on Tuesday evening last, in aid of the Free Reading Room Fund. A. E. Tumour, Esq., M.D pre- sided. there were also present Mr. and Mrs. Mainwar- ing, Galltfaenan Mrs. Mostyn, Segrwyd Mr. and Mrs. Gold Edwards; Mr. and Irs. Smith, V.C.R. and other respectable of the town and neighbourhood. A goodly number of songs were most ably sung, interspersed with anecdotes of a very amusing and instructing character. In fact, the entertainment altogether was heartily en- joyed and deservedly appreciated. Should Mr. Simpson make a second appearance in Denbigh, in the same ca- pacity as on Tuesday evening, we can safely predict that he will obtain an over-crowded audience. VALE OF CLWYD RAILWAY. The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the Vale of Clwyd Railway Company was held at the Denbigh Station on Monday last. Present Bancroft, Esq., Chairman Capt. Thomas, Vice-Chairman H. Crosfield, Esq., Liverpool; T. Mainwaring, Esq., M.P. J. Spier Hughes, Esq, Llamwst; W. Parry, Esq., Denbigh; M. Smith, Esq., Secresary and Manager H. Lee, Esq., Bangor, Engineer R. Williams, Esq., Denbigh, Local Secretary T. Kyffin Roberts, Esq., Auditor; Dr. Roberts, St. Asaph, &c. REPORT or THE DIRECTORS. The accounts having been made up and audited ex hibit the following results £ s. d. Income from all sources, including the receipt under tho Agreement with the. T,on don and North Western Railway <■   6,105 13 11 Company 13 11 Expenditure "? 1/ £ 2,847 13 2 The surplus balance on 30th June was 9 15 7 12,857 8 9 Out of which the charges for Interest and Preferential Dividend amount to 1,338 14 6 Leaving an available balance of iel,518 14 4 The Directors recommend a dividend of 95 per cent per annum on the ordinary share capital, to be paid on the 1st. proximo, leaving a balance of £18 14s. 4d. to be carried forward to the credit of ttie current half year. The Directors regret that the Foryd Extension is not yet so far completed as to enable them to obtain the Certificate of the Board of Trade for its openiug. This is owing to the fact of some of the questions connected with the works having been left to arbitration, which has led to considerable delay. Every effort is being made to bring the matter to a close. The Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway Company have a Bill in Parliament for extensions to Denbigh and Trefnant, in substitution of their present authorized Lines, effecting junctions with this Company's Line near Trefnant. And the Denbigh, Ruthin, and Corwen Company have a Bill for extension at Corwen, and for Running Powers over this Company's Line to Foryd, and thence over the London and North Western to Rhyl. These bills will require and receive the attention of the Board. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the above report, regretted that owing to the present state of farm- ing in this district and the difficulty experienced in ob- taining coals during the last half year, the receipts had not progressed so satisfactorily as tha Directors could wish, but still they had kept up. He hoped that there would be improvement in these matters and that the next half-year's accounts would be of a more satisfactory character. The shareholders would see that two bill* were before Parliament which affected the Vale of Clwyd Railway Company, and it was important that these bills should be watched. He proposed that the necessary steps should be taken. (Hear, hear.) The Directors' report, (with a statement of account appended) was unanimously agreed to and a vote of thanks having been accorded to the Chairman, the meet- ing closed.

AMLWCH. We are glad to find by the advertisement in our paper of this date, that an influential public meeting was held At the Dinorben Arms Hotel, on the 21st ult., and that the gehtlemen present formed themselves into a Provi- sional Direotorate of an intended Limited liability Com- pany, whose purpose will be to provide that which has so long been felt to be a great want in that thriving .town, i.e., a convenient covered market with a public room, Ac. It may well be imagined that a population of 6000 inhabitants having an important harbour, flourishing and extensive smelting works and copper mines within the parish must necessarily be at great in- convenience without such accommodation this incon- venience will be still further felt, as the town grows larger on the completion of the Central Anglesey Kail- way. Thus these gentlemen have determined not only to afford their neighbours so important a boon for the present, but with commendable foresight are making provision for the future; all we now add is that we wish them every success in this praiseworthy effort. We also are informed that a new Cemetry is secured for the parish, and that Messrs. Kennedy and Itogere, of Bangor and Albion Chambers, 11, Adam Street, Adelphi, Lon- don, have beon instructed to lay out the grounds and design the necessary buildings. FIRE, It is with much regret we report a fire which occured at Mrs. Jaue Owens, draper and publican on February 22nd, fortunately it was discovered in time ,or otherwise it might have proved a fearful calamity. The origin of the fire is unknown. It appears a man was passing about 4 a.m., and observing a light in the shop at that unusual hour roused the inmates. The fire was principally confined to the shop which was com- pletely gutted and the whole of the stock destroyed. The stock wasinsured, the building was not unfortunate- ly, belonging, as it does, to an orphan (Mr. Herbert Jones, Plas Llanfechell). Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the inhabitants for their prompt and effective services. After much risk and exertion they managed to extinguish the fire in about two hours. This is the second fire that has occured within a short period of each other. I hope the people of Amlwch and neigh- bourhood will see the urgent necessity of immediately providing a fire engine for the locality and not procras- tinate until half the town is rased to the ground (which may happen any day) and a number of valuable lives sacrificed. We believe there is no fire engine nearer than Beaumaris. The various fire insurance companies always alive to their own interests would doubtless lend a helping hand. The motto is where there is a will there is a way.

Charles Williams, Penygroes, was charged by P.C. J. Edwards with being drunk and riotous.—Fined Is. and 12s. costs. Dd. Jones, Talysarn, was fined 30s. and 12s. costs for the same offence. P.C. J. Edwards proved the case, and said the prisoner had on three or four occasions be- fore given him a great deal of trouble. In this instance he wanted to tight with a man named Rogers who he had had a dispute with. Evan Williams, charged by P.S. Edwards for riding on his cart at Llaullyfni, was fined 10s. and 12s. costs. Robert Griffith, charged for allowing four swine to stray on the turnpike road, was dismissed on payment of costs, with a caution. GOILDHALL, Monday, Feb. 27.—Before the Mayor, Ll. Turner, T. Turner, and Owen Jones, Esqrs. Jane Smith and Catherine Ryan, two prostitutes, were sent to gaol for 7 days. Benjamin Owen, for being drunk and riotous, was or- dered to pay 10s. and costs. Win. Hughes aud Joseph Radford, an adjourned case for being wandering about, &c., was dismissed. The witness who in the first instance gave the police the in- formation now refused to identify them. Joseph Radford was afterwards charged with stealing a piece of timber from Griffith Roberts, and was sen- tenced to 3 months' hard labour. Edward Lloyd was charged with stealing a piece of rope and was sent to gaol for 14 days. He said he never went to gaol before for selling his own property, and that he would never sell his own property again as long as he lived. He is an old offender, though young in years, having been more than half his time in gaol for the last 6 or 7 years. PLOUGHING MATCH AT PARCIAU. This match,. which was advertised to take place on the 21st ult., and was postponed owing to the state of the weather, came off on Tuesday last, in a field at Parkiau, belonging to Mr. Edward Humphreys, Royal Hotel, Carnarvon. The ground having been previously staked out, 17 teams were entered for competition, one of which was, however, withdrawn, as shall be presently explained. The ground, though pretty sharp, presented no special difficulties, and the weather, with the excep- tion of some heavy showers of rain towards the close, interfered but little with the day's proceedings. The "commander-in-chief" (Mr. E. Humphreys) was actively engaged for about an hour in completing the necessary arrangements preparatory to the commencement of operations. Shortly after ten o'clock the order to "start" was given, and the whole of the teams were seen in full motion, and closely criticised by a large concourse of spectators, from this and the aJjoiuing county. Mr. Howard, of Bedford, had on the ground one of his champion wheel ploughs, but as the person entrusted with this implement had to leave by an early train, he was allowed to go through the process of showing his improved method of ploughing before the others com- menced. The following teams were in the field and entered for I competition NO. OWNERS. PLOUGHMAN. 1 E. Humphreys, Parkiau .Rowld. Owen 2 W. Thomas, Pengelli W. Thomas 3 Evan Evans, Bryn Howel .E.

Luncheon was liberally provided at the farm-house, which was visited by a large number ol people in the course of the day.

HOLYHEAD. At the half-yearly meeting of the Shareholders of the London and North Western Railway, held last Friday week, the chairman (Ir. Moon) said in reply to Mr. Beloe's query With respect to Mr. Beloe's question regarding the Irish Mail Service, there were three par- ties to the "greemeut-the Postmaster-General, the City of Dublin Company, and the London and North-Western Company and the agreement had three parts relating to the land service, the pier service, and the performance of the sea service. It was rather a sore subject, for the Government had not fulfilled what they undertook to do in their works at Holyhead, but the railway company had performed what they undertook, though it had been at great cost, and a strain on the whole system. They therefore thought they had been hardly used, as they thought the complaints were not pertinent to them. They had nothing to do with the performance of the sea service, which belonged entirely to the City of Dublin Company." I SFRIOL-S ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday last, Henry Evans, eighteen years old, a stoker on railway engines, had the forepart of his foot cut off, by the wheel of an engine runnin" over it. Just above the fore-wheel of these engines there is a box holding sand, which runs through a tube on the rail below to prevent the slipping of the wheel. It being the duty of the stoker on these engines to take charge of the said sand tube, H. Evans finding that the saud had so clustered at the mouth of the pipe, that it hail stopped running, attempted to help it by reaching his foot to the mouth of the tube. While do- ing so, the wheel caught his foot, went over it, and cut it so that it must, in all probability, be amputated at a part higher up. On the same day, Richard Williams, 21 years old, a breaksman on an engine working 111 the Old Harbour Works, as he attempted to disjoin an empty waggon from others in the train, accidentally fell between the two last, and was very seriously injured in the head, the back and the limbs, by the wheel running over ILim. He is now lying up at the Hospital, where, undoubtedly, he will receive every attention from the medical officer of the Works. On Wednesday, a eon of John Hughes, Caemorgan, a lad of 11 to 15 years old, fell from the top of the sea wall now being constructed in the Old Harbour. The inj ury he sustained by the fall of so many yards, was not ascertained before the post left town.

DOLGELLEY. TlIlt FIRST WHISTLE or THE IRON HORSE.-Old Father Time unerringly brings every event—auspicious or pernicious, good or evil-to pass. An enterprising Company have been long formed to construct a railway, fraught with unparalleled and in the opinion of many unsurmountable difficulties, connecting North and South Wales. Ingenious engineers and surveyors toiled pa- tiently to have the line pricked-the adventurous con- tractor bravely undertook its completion. Sub-con- tractors and gangers, and after them the sturdy, stal- wart navvy laboured long to see the first locoaiotive in the wilds of Merionethshire. At last the" J/eirion" puffed along the Vale of Dysynne, as if nodding eigni- fi..tly t7 the old stage coaches that they were ere long to give place to their betters. It came to Llwyngwril, and was regularly opened; last year, operations were most spiritedly carried on to have the branch to Dol- gelley completed, and Saturday evening, the 18th ult. -a day that will be perpetually chronicled in the annals of this town as forming a new epoch in its history—the "Cardigan" triumphantly steamed up through the dan. gerous cutting of Alltffyuonrydd, along the rocky and sterile bank of the winding Mawddach to Penmaenpool, Mr. Savin, the contractor, being with it. The Volun- teer band was in attendance, and the Cardigan" was iiahere(I in amidst the deafening cheers of a numerous crowd who had assembled to witness its arrival. Nearly all the .spectators, including several of the leading gentry, among whom were W. Williams, Esq., surgeon, G. Williams, Esq., R. N. Williams, Esq., Lewis Wil- liams, Esq., Bryntirion, Mr. J. Chidlaw Roberts, and Mr. E. Jones, Ship Hotel, and who accompanied Mr. Savin on the engine, were taken up to within a mile to the town, the baud playing some of their best selection in honour of the occasion. Attached to the engine was a truck full of Ruabon coals for Mr. Jones, Ship Hotel, who thus clearly possesses the honour of reaping the first beufit of a railway among the people of this town. We must still give vent to our feelings by stating that we very much regret the unpleasant dispute which has stopped us to witness the Cardigan," not where we did on Saturday evening week, but at the town. This is the alloy. Before long, however, in the face of all difficulties, the line will be completed to the town. The people of Dolgelley are loud in their praises of the Com- panyand Mr. Savin, as they have always been, and it is only proper but they should. There is also a great stir just now about the Dolgelley and Hala Railway. It is said that the line is to be commenced at once. AN INQUEST ON A CHILD FOUND DEAD IN BED. On Friday, the 17th ult., the adjourned inquest upon the body of the illegitimate child found dead in bed with its mother at Brynrodyn, near this town, on Tuesday, the 24th of January, WaS resumed before G. J. Williams, Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, when the following evidence was given and a verdict in ac- cordance thereto returned Catherine Jones, being sworn, said-I live at Twlly- hwbach and knaw Mary Pugh. She was in service at Brynrodyu. I was sent for by Mrs. Roberts, Brynrodyn, on a Tuesday morning some time ago. Went upstairs where Mary Pugh was in bed, but did not see her child. I told her she had given birth to a child, which she did not deny. I was in the room for a few minutes and was very much frightened. Went then again and told her I should send for her sister or fatlur. Went there first between 9 and 10 a.m. I did net see the child at all Dr. Edward Jones, Dolgelley, being sworn, said-I was called to Brynrodyn last Tuesday three weeks. Went there about 10 a.m., or a little alter. I went to Mary Pugh, the servant, who I found in bed. She had given birth to a child. I saw the child, and it was the child viewed by the jury. She told me t was her child. It was a female. Am not aware that she is married, but believe she is not. I examined tilt child, who was in bed with her. It was folded up in an old dress at the head of the bed on the pillow, aud he had not hid it. I examined the child carefully, anl made a post mortem examination on the following day. Saw no marks of violence, and saw nothing h the internal organs to account for its death. The ord was not se- parated Am of opinion that the childwas born alive. I applied the hydrostatic test. Kveryportion of the lungs were crepitating and perfectly disemled with air, which is a strong presumption that thechild was born alive. The florid colour of the skin alsi assisted me in the conclusion that the child was born alive. During life in the womb there is a communicaton existing be- tween the superior cavities of the hear, after respira- tion takes place this communication lecomes closed. The partial closure of that eommunicatiai proved to me that the child had breathed. The roon was covered with blood. I am of opinion that the mither gave birth to the child out of bed. She told me so I believe, that being in a weak state after the birth of the child, she could not have saved it by herself. I lave no reason to believe that the deceased was suffocatfli. There was nothing more than a little redness on tie nose, which may be accounted for by the child Miig on that part during its birth. The mother told me she had not touched the child, meaning that she had done no harm to it. She could not tell me the time she gave birth to the child. She appeared very weak and ill, and re- mained in bed about nine or ten days. I believe the child died from exposure to the cold and want of atten- tion. The room was a very cold one, and it was also a most unusually cold night. The jury returned a verdict actordingly.

FESTINIOG. I AMATEUR CO-TCERT.-On Tuesday night, the 23th ult., the Festiniog Brass Bind and Choir gave a concert in the Market Hall of the village. The band was led by Mr. Dickson, band-master, and the choir by Mr. Robert Jones. It is barely six months since the band was form- ed, and the progress they have made in that time is most creditable to them and to their excellent instruc- tor, Mr. Dickson, who has been most indefatigable in his exertions to train them. It is but right to state that all the members are working. men-not one of them having had the advantage of a musical education. We have no doubt, if they persevere, that they will be, in time, second to none in the Principality. The programme for the eveuing was selected with much care and taste, and it is gratifying to state that the playiug and singing gave thorough satisfaction to all present. The following pieces were loudly encored—" Cynwyd" (Band); Lime- rick Races" (ditto); 11 Harlecti March and Harlech Hur- rah" (Choir); "Boillondeb" (ditto). The entertainment was altogether one of the most interesting we have had the pleasure of attending for a very long time. The Hall was crowded almost to suffoqation. There was a large number of the gentry of the neighbourhood present. I Amolg others we were glad to see the Rev. D. Edwards, Rector of the parish; George Casson, Esq., Blaeuyddol. The latter gentleman kindly consented to preside over the meeting. The Band felt highly pleased to see these two gentlemen present, both of whom complimented them in the most flattering terms for the progress they had made, and encouraged them to go on with renewed vigour and we hope the warm reception they had on their first appearance before the public will stimulate them to follow up this advice. The proceedings of the evening were greatly enlivened by Owain Glyndwr, who amused the audience with his usual witty and telling expressions. The proceeds were to be applied to defray the expenses incurred by the Band in the purchase of instruments, and in payment for instruction. The move- ment has cost them, we understand, about £100 since it was started. The gentry of the district have contri- buted—some of them very liberally—in support of it, and it would be a matter of deep regret if it failed even- tually for want of assistance -pecuniary or otherwise. The movement is certainly one deserving of every en- couragement. I

PENMORFA. I ST. DAVID'S DAY—ANNIVERSARY DlNNRR I OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROSECUTION I OF FELONS. The anniversary dinner of this society took place on Wednesday last, the 1st of March, at the Bwlch-y- fedwen Inn, Penmorfa. There was but a comparatively small attendance of members, but the proceedings, gene- rally, were of a very spirited character. Mr. and Miss Thomas provided a most sumptuous and excellent dinner -the best we have ever sat down to at any previous meeting of the society—and this was ac- knowledged by all. The chairman was Mr. Richard Lloyd Jones, Madock Arms Hotel, Tremadoc and Mr. R. 1. Jones, Tremad- oc, acted as vice, in the room of Mr. E. A. Owen, Parkia, who was not present. Amongst those present we noticed Messrs. R. Ll. Jones, Tremadoc; R. I. Jones, do.; O. Griffith, Esq., Cefn Coch; Messrs. Davies, Commercial Hotel, Pllrt. madoc; E. Roberts, Pensyflog; John Parry, tanner, Tremadoc; Robert Owen, do.; R. Ellis, Golden Fleece Inu, do.; Chenery, Wern Edward Humphreys, Ynyswen; Cadwaladr Jones, Braich-y-saint; Lewis, agent, Moelfre Quarry W. Williams, Llan, Llanfroth- eti; Edward Jones, New Shop, Portmadoc R. Jones, Gwydr W. E. Morris, secretary to the Association Henry Llewelyn, Garrig felen Morris Griffith, Llwyu- y-mafon; John Thomas, Portmadoc; John Jones, Glandwyfach; Hughes, Wernlos deg, Beddgelert; J. Pritchard, Bwlchgwyn; H. R. Thomas, Bwlch-y- fedwen, Ac. Grace was said by Mr. Edward Humphreys, Ynys- wen. After the cloth was removed, The Chairman gave in succession the healths of the "Queen," the "Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," which were diank with much loyal enthusiasm. The treasurer, Mr. O. Griffith, then read over the society's report, from which it appeared that there was balance in hand of JCIO 17s. 3d. Fifty members had paid in their subscri ptions, and the expenses for the past year amounted to X7 15s. The report was unanimously approved ufo After some remarks by the treasurer, Mr. R. r. Jonefi rose and said—I beg to second the proposition made by our worthy treasurer, that the so- ciety be carried on as heretofore. It has now existed for 47 years and I hold that it has done much good- not indeed by punishments and prosecutions, but in her preventive capacity, and that, too, at a very trifling cost to the members, and they have also had a 'good dinner 'every year in the bargain. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding that some persons out of doors have doomed the society to its grave, still I think there are no positive signs of its decease, though the number of members present to- day has a somewhat gloomy look about it. Is this any reason why we should give it up in despair ? It is not when the plant flowers that its roots are the deepest; and the society must have had a good and sound root, or it would not have floursliid for 47 years. (Cheers.) The national feeling of the Cymro demands it to be held up in order to commemorate our Patron Saint, whose memory has been held sacred for the last 880 years for certain, for he lived some 1344 year? ago. This day— St. David's Day—is at this very time being held in great respect by thousands of Welshmen and English- men and is it for a handful of Eifionyddites, like us, to put it down ? (Applause.) We all know very well that social society meetings are very scarce in this loca- lity and I think, therefore, we ought to foster this association because it gives its an occasion to meet together in a social and friendly way. (Loud cheers) For myself, I have great faith in this society, and I be. lieve it will last another 47 years and that it will al- ways continue to be a terror and an awe to evil doers and vicious characters. Moreover, I will maintain this, that if it will be the better means of preventing one per- son from committing a bad act, it will answer its object and do more good than a hundred punishments. (Loud cheering.) Mr. Jones then proposed, in very compli- mentary terms, the health of the Treasurer. Mr. O. Griffith returned thanks, and observed that the practical character of the association, which was proposed at some former meetings, was not now neces- sary, inasmuch as an agricultural society had been esta- blished for Lleyn and Eifionydd, the annual meetings of which would be held alternately in Pwllheli and Tre- madoc. The secretary, Mr. Morns, then read over the sub- scription list, many of whom did not answer to their names; but a good many sent in their subscription. Mr. It. 1. Jones then rose, and proposed the health of the respected treasurer, O. Griffith, Esq., and remarked that one great reason that ',he society had existed so long was that they had so efficient and worthy officers, and particularly an efficient treasurer; for he believed that a more worthy officer no society ever possessed; as he was a gentleman they all may be proud for, and he was respected by all classes of society. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Jones then recited the following impromptu verse, which was much applauded. I'n tra siriol arysorydd-eiii henwog A'n hanwyl 0. Griffith; Tra golcho'r don Eifionydd, Ei enw a'i barch yn fawr bydd. ALLTUD EIFION. Mr. Griffith, in resnondine, said that he had been a member of the society for 47 years, and its treasurer for 35, and he, in fact, was the only member living who was present at its first formation, and for himself he should always support it. (Applause.) Mr. John Parry, in a brief complimentary speech, proposed the health of the Chairman, Mr. R. Lloyd Jones. Mr. R. 1. Jones again recited the following impromptu verse- In llvwydd difyr llawen-y dylem Roi'n diolch mewn crechwen; Rhodder, a nerth yr heidden, Lwnc iechyd tra bywyd i'w ben. ALLTUD EIFION. Mr. R. Lloyd Jones returned thanks in a neat but brief speech. Mr. John Thbmas then proposed, as a toast, the health of Mr. and Miss Thomas, and thanks to them for their very excellent dinner. (Cheers.) Mr. Thomas returned thanks, and said it always gave him great pleasure, and likewise his sister, to do all in their power to accommodate their friends to the best of their ability, and they sluiild always continue to do so. It was a source of much pleasure to him to know that they bad given the company satisfaction. (Applause.) Mr. John Thomas next nroposed the good health of the secretary, Mr. W. E. Morris, who had always proved himself to be a most efficient officer. (Cheers.) Mr. Morris returned thanks, and said lie felt it a great pleasure at all times to do what he possibly could to promote the interests of the society. (Applause.) Mr. 0. Griffith next gave, as a toast, Mr. E. Anwyl Owen, who would be their president next year, but who, he was sorry to say, was not present on that occasion. This toast was duly honoured. The good health of Mr. It. I. Jones was then pro- posed by Mr. John Parry, and was duly drank and res- ponded to. The absent members was then proposed by M, r. E. Roberts, Pensyflog, which was responded to by Mr. W. R. Morris, who particularly apologised for the absence of Mr. J. H. Jones and Mr. E. Breese, as those gentle- men were busily engaged in preparing for the Merioneth- shire Assizes. Mr. John Parry also apologised on behalf of Captain G. Owen, who was employed in making preparations for an event quite as interesting as the Assizes. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. R. 1. Jones then proposed the Farmers of EiQon- ydd, and with the 'oast coupled the names of Mr. Jones, Gwyndy, Mr. M. Griffith, Llwynymafon, and Mr. E. Roberts, Pensyf Mr. R"berts returned thanks, and rewarked that the farmers in these districts were never better off than they were at present, because they principally reared cattle, and cattle never sold better than they did now. He would advise them, however, to import grain to feed their cattle so as to ensure still greater profit. (Loud cheers.) Mr. John Thomas then proposed the health of Mr. Davies, Commercial Hotel, Portmadoc, who was a new member, and who, he was sure, they were all veryglad to see at their meeting. (Cheers.) Mr. Davies returned thanks in a brief speech. A Welsh song by Mr. K. L. J ones- The Barley- corn." Mr. W. E. Morris next proposed the Press, and with it the representative of the "North Wales Chronicle." Our reporter returned thanks. Mr. John Parry was next proposed by Mr. R. I. Jones, who briefly responded. Mr. Owen Griffith, in a very warm and complimentary manner, proposed the health of Mr. Mathew, Wern, whom he eulogised as a good magistrate, a good country gentleman, and who was always ready to assist in everything which tended to promote the good and the happiness of his neighbours. Drunk with much cheering. Mr. Chenery returued thanks on behalf of Mr. Mathew. The meeting then terminated.

PENMORFA. TEA. PARTY.-On Tuesday last, Mr. Humphrey Lloyd, merchant, kindly gave a splendid tea to 96 chil- dren of the district, at his house in this village, to com- memorate the opening of his fine new shop, which he has recently built. The children, boys and girls, were invited from all parts, as far as Pencaenewydd, and the little people seemed to enjoy themselves very much in- deed. There was an abundance of bara brith" and other similar adjuncts, and as it was Shrove Tuesday, Mrs. Williams, Tymawr Inn, kindly sent in quite a heap of nice pancakes, which created quite a sensation." The following ladies officiated at the tables, and were most assiduous in their attention to the j uvenile party- Mrs. and Mist H. Lloyd, Miss Williams, Tymawr, and Miss Hughes, Bwlchyfedwen Inn, Miss Griffith, Allt- wen Cottage, and Miss Roberts, schoolmistress. Cap- tain Mathews' schoolchildren were all present. The above, we believe, is quite a new feature as it regards the occasion of tea parties."

RUTllIN. I COUNTY COURT. I The bi-monthly County Court fur this district was I held on Friday week, 21tli ult., in the County Hall, be- fore R. Vaughau Williams, Esq., Judge. SHEEP TRESPASS. I David Roberts, v. Cadwaladr Jones.— A n action claim- ing X2 for damages done by about 100 sheep to three loads of turnips. Mr. Adams appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Louis for defendant. The parties are neighbouring farmers in the parish of Gyffylliog. In December last, defendant's sheep enter- ed plaintiff's turnip field and were seen there, it was al. leged by the plaintiff, for three successive days, during which time they so damaged three out of five loads of turnips that they were unfit for further use—nothing but the peelings being left. The trespass was admitted, 15s. on that account having been paid into Court, but Mr. Louis contended that defendants' sheep were pastur- ing in common with other people's sheep on an adjoining mountain, which were also in the habit of entering plaintiffs' turnip field-therefore, he thought it unfair that his client should sutler all the burden of the loss sustained. His HONOUR observed that the owners of the sheep would perhaps volunteer to assist the defendant to pay the damages. The witnesses for the plaintiff, however, had sworn that defendant's were the only sheep seen in the field on the days the turnips were destroyed. Mr. Louis in advocating for a reduction of the claim, said that plaintiff was a litigious person, whereupon His HONOUR pertinently remarked— Y ou don't com- plain of that, do you 1 (A laugh.) Mr. Louis (jocosely)—I do, sir, in all sober serious- ness. His HONouR-On public grounds ? Mr. LOUIS-No, sir; on private grounds-my time to-day is being wasted. Judgment for plaintiff for one guinea, in addition to the 153. paid into Court. CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP. Thos. Jones, butcher, v. James Phoenix.—This action created a little merriment in Court. His HONOUR (to the Defendant)-Do you owe this money, X3 4s. Od. for meat ? DEPENDANT—(Coolly) I suppose I do. His HONOUR —How can you pay ? DEFENDANT—Two shillings a week. His HONOUR (to plaintift)-Will that satisfy you PLAINTIFF-fle can pay at once he's got plenty of money. His HONOUR—Then, he is better off than I am; very few persona have plenty of money. DEFENDANT (angrily—How can you prove it, Thomas Jones ? His HONOUR—What is the defendant ? Plaintiff-A driver, sir, at the White Lion. His HONOUR—This is not good time, you know, for a driver. Two shillings a week, I think is a fair offer. I will make an order for 2s. a week for the first three months, and 3s. a week afterwards. DEPENDENT—I offered him 10s. this morning, and he would not take it. His HONOUR—How much? DEPENDANT (greatly elated)—Ten shillings, sir His HONOUlt --Very well-[ Nvill add to the order- to pay 10s. forthwith." (Laughter.) DEPENDANT retired with a long and gloomy face.

^Uu'hcts ami$ur.i REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN" TRADE DURING THK PASF WEEK. The first half of the past week being perfect winter, and the second very rough and wet, though mild in temperature, nothing could be done of material service in the fields. The wheat plant yet appears not to have suffered by the extraordinary chn- ges; but as it-viil soon he time for a renewed growth our pro, pects of sueees. nay be diminished. We shall saofl want drvin* winds for spring panting, though a few days may bring about beneficial alteration nd set everything to rights. Ofuhe Con* tinent there have beeu still greater extremes of temperature: but a return to mildness -ing generally noted, we may shortly have a re-opening of the Bh&ic and the principal sources of sut ply. Foreign imports have down insignificance yet been affected, the week's reports presenting little difference in the value of wheat. In France, kwever, an upward movement is making way. which the nearer C() tries will be sure to follow if continued, though the ports yet reining closed have betn dull for want of trade. It is to be that the sharp and frequent frosts will have killed much veriMfli which up to Christ- mMUvedwithimpuntty: while the gent, penetration of t? melted snow, into the substratum after a 1ry ,ummer aS"' autumn will supply the needed lack of moistu^ ? a ,?m.?, growth, and enable us the better to endure the prevalent of east winds in spring.

IIoi.loway's OINTMENT A sd PJLLR-Premature Decline.— The unwary an,1 thoughtless may save themselves a sea of future troubles by an early recourse to these excellent curatives.. All blotches from whatever cause arising, all enlargements of the glands wherever situated, irritating sores and debilitating dis- charges, may be safely and certainly cured by employing Hollo- way s Ointment and Pills, in accordance with the instructions wrapped round each pot and box. No timidity need deter the weakest from applying to these restoratives, which exert the threefold qualities of purifying, regulating, and repairing with- out disturbing the stomach, annoying the nervous system, or rendering confinement to the house necessary. Holloway'a medicaments will stem the source of many maladies, which, when neglected, perpetuate misery. In the portion of our journal devoted to the reception of pub lie announcements, our readers will find a notice referring to lir. White's Moc-Main Patent Lever Truss, amply meriting their best and closest attention. Fully aware of the clumsy and awk- ward machinery forming the old and ordinary Steel Sp: it'r Truss, lir. White has wisely and wholy forbid their introduction into his instrument; consequently, aided by a highlv elastic Pad of Ini ia. Rubber, stn £ ed with Moc-Main, with a small Lever Spring ncte t upon by a sill en bandage. he has succeded in producing at once a perfect am* most comfortable Truss, and that too. at so moderate a price a,? to defy, even on that sèore anything like competition, it is highly praised by the great body of i>ri)^* sionals; and by its auftering wearers, is regarded as a vcruabw Godsend.
