DIOCESAN INSPECTION. I To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir, Magister" appears on the field only when he finLh that" A Late Inspector" has retired. This ac- counts for his having the idea of bolstering up so ready at hand. He feels he is doing a little in that line him- self, and, like a guilty schoolboy, seeks to divert atten- tion from himself by accusing another. The question of having the programme earlier is not one affecting the pockets or the rights of Magister" and A Late Inspec- tor." Why, then, are they so sore about it ? There must be some cause for their wriggling. What is it! I won- der whether it is because, by attending the meetings of the Board of Education, they get to know early what the subjects of the ensuing examination are to be—com- municate them to the teachers in their schools—and thus gain on advantage over others, which they are loath to part with. There is one point in "Magistds" letter worthy of special notice, as it lets out the cause of the programme being so long delayed, and leads us to suppose that summer and autumn have exchanged places He says —" From enquiries I made, I learn that it is not un- usual to request the Inspector to defer his examination to such a time and day that the school can muster the strongest. And if the Inspector is kept until the middle of autumn before lie can examiue the schools in his dis- trict, how can he tender in his report much earlier than September ?" The Tabulated Report shows that the latest inspection last year took place on the 29th oj July. His idea as to what time of the year is autumn shows that while I and my friend, "Somebody-or-other," are im- proving our dictiou, he may be advantageously increasing his stock of general information. It seems that the rea- son of the delay is the lateness of the sendin f in of the reports by the Inspectors. The subjoined table exhibits the number of schools examined by each Inspector, and the time of the exami- uatiou; and is interesting, as it shows that the reports might be sent in early in August, and that many schools have the advantage of having six weeks or two months more time to prepare for the examination than others.

He made his notes on each school at the time of the exami- nation, so that all he had to do after July 14th was to make a copy of them, and send it to the Secretary of the Board. This might be done comfortably in the course of one evening. His report, therefore, might have been easily sent in by August 1st. allowiug him ample time to get breath after the arduous task of in- specting eighteen schools in two months If he could do it by that time, the others could, as they had not so I many schools to inspect. Twenty-one out of the twenty- two schools in the deanery of Arlleeliwedd were exa- mined in May; considering the time the programme was issued, had not the 48 schools examined in July an unfair advantage over them ? It may be some satisfaction to A Late Inspector" aud Magister" to bo told plainly that I did get a good report, aud that I fully expect getting a good one this year; and yet I could do my work better if I had re- ceived the programme last October. I have seen many persons just arriving in time for a train after a bursting run, but I never heard one of them prefer such a run to a steady walk. We shall have a run to catcb the Diocesan Inspection train this year, and many of us may be successful; but are we to blame in asking time enough to walk the dis- tance ? Is it a proof, because we object to such hard running, that we can neither walk nor run ? I am, Sir, yours trulv, A STUBBORN FACT. March 15tb, 1865.

I BRIEF HISTORICAL NOTICES IN REFERENCE TO ANGLESEY. TENTH NOTICE. A.D. 1170.- -Prince Owen Gwynedd was no sooner laid in the grave than a great commotion took place as to who should succeed him. His eldest son, lorwerth Drwyndwn, was incapacitated from ascending the throne by a personal blemish his younger bi others every one began to aspire to the dignity, and while disagreeing among themselves, Howel, who was of all the eldest, but base born, stepped in himself and took upon him the government. David ap Owen could not brook the idea that a bastard, whose mother was an Irishwoman, should ascend his father's throne. He therefore marched against him. Howel was resolved to maintain his ground, but was slain, and David was proclaimed Prince of North Wales. A.D. 1173.—Maelgwyn, David's brother, had posses- sion of Anglesey; but David, Prince of North Wa'.as, bringing an army over the Menai into Anglesey, routed him, and he was forced to make his escape to Ireland. A.D. 1174.—Maelgwyn returned from Ireland, and landing in Anglesey, was discovered, and by his brother's orders committed to close prison. David having brought the Isle of Anglesey to its pristine state of subjection, and to prevent future annoyance, he banished all his brethren and cousins out of his territories. A. D. 1175.—Roderic, who had been bound with fetters and cast into prison by his brother David, be- cause he had demanded the share of his father's lands, made his escape, and tleeing to Anglesey, was acknow- ledged by all the people for their prince. This they did, for they conceived an utter abhorence of Prince David, who contrary to all rules of equity, had disin- herited all his brethren. A.D. 1188.—Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, ac- companied by Giraldus Cambrensis, Archdeacon of Bre- con, visited the Isle of Anglesey for the purpose of ob- taining contributions to carry on the crusade against the infidels. The Archbishop took his stand in an open place in the parish of Llandisilio, called Cerrig y- Borth. Alexander, Archdeacon of Bangor, interpreted to the people. Roderic, Prince of North Wales, was present. The inhabitants, in grateful remembrance, and to perpetuate the hotiotir of that memorable day, called the stone where the Archdeacon stood, Carreg-yr-Arch- ddiacon (the Archdeacon's stone), and where Prince Roderic stood Maen Roderic (Roderic's stone). and where his grace stood, which should have been called Cadair-yr-Archesgob (Chair of the Archbishop), but his business being to beg their alms, they upon that ac- count called the place Kil-beg-le (the place of beg- giilg.) A.D. 1193.- Roderie, availing himself of the aid of the King of Man, made an effort to get the Principality of North Wales, and to entirely eject his brother David. He entered Anglesey and reduced the whole island to his subjection but before the year terminated the sons of his brother Conan came with an army against him, and forced him together with the King of Man to leave the island, they taking possession of it themselves. A.D. 1195-A new revolution happened in Ncrth Wales. Prince Davfd had held the sceptre of North Wales for twenty-four years; but it must now change hands. Llewelyn, the son of Iorwerth Drwyndwu, who was the eldest son of Owen Gwynedd, Prince of North Wales, marched against David with a powerful army, overcame him, and was declared the true heir to the Principality.

BAD AIR AND GUX COTTON. At the request of the Royal Commission which has recently reported on the condition of the Cornish and other metalliferous mines, Dr. Angus Smith examined the quality of the air which the miners have to breathe, to the impurity of which is chiefly attributable the early break down in their strength. A healthy atmos- phere may be taken to be one with 20 9 per cent of oxygen, and 0-1)4 per cent. of carbonic acid gas. Late in the evening in the pit of London minor theatres as much as 0-252 and 0-320 percent, of carbonic acid has been found; but the average of above 300 samples of air taken from these milles had 0 785. Two thirds of the samples presented an atmosphere exceedingly bad, and the worst parts of the mines had only about 18-69 per cent. of oxygen, and as much as 1-8 or more of car- bonic acid, in one instance 2-26 per cent. In order to test the effects of such bad air Dr. Angus Smith caused to be constructed a small close chamber of lead, with windows sufficiently large that they might in any emergency be broken through for a way of escape. The explosion of gunpowder produce sulphide of potassium, the effect of which is probably like that of sulphide of hydrogeu, but from its acting more slowly there is dis- tributed over a long period that death which might ensne instantly, and so, in chymical phrase, the effect is dissolved in health, and becomes disease. Gun cotton seems to promise to perform the work of blasting with less injurious influence upon the air. Mr. Hadow, F.C.S., in his chemical Report slates I have care- fully examined the sample of Gun-cotton rope, and am able to report favourably upon it. Gun-cotton proves on analysis to be the highest and most powerful explosive of the series of substitution compounds formed by ihe ndon of nitric acid on cotton. The fact of its containing the maximum amount of peroxide of nitrogen was proved by submitting a portion, carefully dried in vacuo, to the reducing action of an alcoholic solution of the double sulphide of potassium and hydrogen, when it ga.'e an amount of cotton almost exactly corresponding to that which calculation requires (100 parts gave 54'80, cal- culation requires 64.51 of cotton); and secondly, by treating another portion, likewiie weighed after drying in vacuo, with a mixture of the strongest nitric and Bulphuric acids for three hours, when the presence of any of the lower substitution compounds would have been detected by an increase of weight after washing and drying (the next lower substitution compound gaining ,)'3, and the next lower 11'3 per cent, by such treatment.) The sample, however, gained nothing in weight by the immersion; on the contrary, as experience has proved to be the case with Gun-cotton that has reached the highest stage of substitution, a loss was sustained of O',) per cent., which corresponds very closely with what experiment shews to be the loss sus- tained always through solution, by immersion of the strongest Gun-cotton for three hours in the mixed acids, "Your Gun-cotton possesses a high degree of stability, and of all the samples I have examined it is the least likely to change during prolonged storing. "The sample was found perfectly free from all un- combined: acids,—it had in fact a vcry feeblo alkaline reaction (due to silicate of Ðodl), only discoverable by testiug with care. In the preceding statement as to the amount of cotton obtainable from the Oun-cotton, and as to the weight after immersion in acids, the amount of ash and soluble matter was ascertained both before and after treatmeutj aud waa deducted iu the calculations."

PETERS, "Grugall Arms," Groeslon, near Carnarvon. PLAIN reasons for preferring the "British _L Economical" before all other artificial Manures because- I.-One and a half cwt. of this has been found equal in productive power to three cwt. of the best Peruvian Guano, thus effecting a saving of half and sustaining its claim to the title of "Economical." 2.—Being patented and prepared under the sole orders of one person only, its uniform excellence is thereby guaranteed. 3.-It has been used several years in all parts of Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as well as in Conti- nental countries, with marvellous success 4.-This Manure is a chemical compound, made design- edly in a highly concentrated state, is a powerful deodor- izer, and was discovered by one of the cleverest practical agricultural chemists in Europe. 5.—It is strongly recommended after severe testing by the unprecedented number of 3.000 testimonials, among which are those of noblemen and landed proprietors, as well as farmers. 6.—It may be used for top dressing with great advantage, as it does not like other artificial and farm yard manures, lose its fertilizing properties by evapora- tion. 7.—It is adapted for all kinds of crops, soils and seasons (see reports), and besides greatly increasing the produce, it has saved the potatoe by warding off the disease," and the turnip by destroying the "fly." 8.-Its effects on the manure heap, when applied in a liquid state, are most advantageous. It decomposes lapidly all sorts of vegetable matter, peat included, great- ly increasing the value of the farm yard manure, and the quantity to be obtained on the farm, and in fermentation it destroys the noxious seed. 9.—Its effects on the poorest and lightest lands, impoverished by successive heavy crops, and the absence of manure prove that it provides the plants with all the fertilizing salts needful to their growth and vigour. But it is needless to enlarge upon its qualities, as the above is vouched, for in about ",Oou reports from disin- terested parties, which are printed and can be had free and the word of a buyer is always more worthy of belief than that of a dealer anxious to get rid of his goods. Plain directions for its use will be found in the book of testimonials, or will be supplied on application, aud atten- tion is particularly requested to them. B.

For Restoring and Clearing the Voice, removing Hoarseness, dbc. THIS wonderful New Discovery was fit introduced amongst the Italian Vocalists, and is used with remarkable benefit in Germany, and other parts on the Continent. The secret was obtained, with some difficulty, by the proprietor, aud the demand for them since he has introduced them in this country is most astoundind. These Globules are a combination of the most simple and Balsamic Vegetables, acting as a soothing and Tonic Renovator to the Vocal and Respiratory Orgons. They will remove, in a few hours, the most troublesome Hoarse- ness that can take place afte Singing, Public Speaking, &c.; and by using them three or four times a day for a short time, they will not fail to restore and clear the voice, making it most refined and by using the same oc- casionally they will give a Tone and fineness to the most rough and broken voice, protecting the throat from re- laxed Hoarseness and Cold. They clear the accumlated Phlegm that coagulated in the bronchial Tubes, to the great inconvenience of Singers and Public Speakers; and are good to those who have lost their Voice; also have been found effectual in cases of Spitting Blood. Old Coughs, and Palpitation. Their titste is good, and impart an. agreeable odour to the breath. Prepared only (by Appointment) by R. I. Jones, Cambrian Pill Depot, Tremadoc, In Boxes, Is. ljd„ and 2s. 9d. each. Sold by all the Wholesale and Retail Druggists, and may be had direct, per return of Post, from Tiemadoc' on receipt of Is. 2(L, or 3s.. in Stamps. Testimonials of their wonderful effect come to hand daily. A Clergyman of 30 years standing in the Church has tried my Voice Globules after suffering more or less from an elfection of the throat, attended frequently with hoarseness, for 20 years, and has found them wonderfully efficacious in removing all hoarseness andin strengthening the Voice. And if any one doubts this, I am at liberty to give his name in private to any brother clergyman who wishes to have it. Read the following from L W. LEWIS, Esq., (Llcw Llwyfo Denbigh, August 7, 1&), Sir,-You have desired me to make a trial of your Voice Globules. I did so. The result ia this—I never had anything before to have an immediate, decided, and agreeable effect upon mv Voice as these, although I spent much in Lozenges, Wafers. Now I get an immediate relief from Hoarseness when I am attacked I find the Globules an eteclit(tt p"reventive from Hoarseness a most valuable discovery worthy of trial.

THE MOUNTAIN SIIEEP. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,I must ask you to allow me to say a tew more words on this subject. Although my former letter was translated by some friend, and inserted in the Herald Cymraeg," there have been no replies to it either in that paper, or yours, except the two letters signed Humani- ty," and "Path-fiuder." The inference to be drawn from the absence of any attempt to vindicate the piac- tice which prevails with regard to Mountain Sheep is, I conclude, that it is impossible to justify it. Universal silence in both languages in its defence must undoubted- ly be construed into the plea of "Guilty." From a little inoident which has happened since my former letter ap- peared, I think we have a very good inte.-pretation of the Welsh country people. Seeing six sheep on the Turnpike Road, and which I had noticed about the roads for many days, I enquired of the first person at hand who was likely to know, whose sheep they were and his reply was il they belong to ow Parish. This, from the manner in which it was said, was evidently considered by my informant as a very satisfactory answer. So I concluded that the whole Parish, Fields, Orchards, Fruit Gardens, Pleasure Guavdens, Young Plantations, &c., &c., are treated by the Wehh country people as one great common in the winter season. A very kind and neigh- bourly thought no doubt, but which the increasing cul- tivation of the country must shortly put an end to. But then, the misfortune is that it is a very one-sided chari- ty. One of my neighbours, (a Scotchman), I was told, said, that my letter was a very childish one, as it was a give and take business but the misfortune again is, that with myself it is all giving and uo taking. I, like your correspondent Humauitas," have had shrubs of considerable value, either quite destroyed, or grievously injured, and who is there that will and can compensate me! But I can assure you, Sir, that by private letter, and personal communication I have received the greatest encouragement to persevere in my endeavours to remedy this curse of North Wales, and I can assure you that in my own Parish and elsewhere, so far as I am able, if my life is spared, I will never relax in my exertions, un- til this great evil is remedied. I shall never let an acre of my land again without a special written agreement that the occupier, if he keeps sheep, shall shepherd them diligently, and feed them, and keep them from wander- ing, or immediately bring them back if they should wan- der; and I shall compel the performance of such agree- ment by every means in my powar. As to other peo- ple's sheep which are allowed to wander, I shall (after hav- ing had printed notices posted in and about the village) visit the owners with every punishment that the law will give them. Your's respectfully. RICHARD LUCK.

COLLEGIATE AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION I Foit WALES. To the Editor of the Xorth Wales Chronicle.. oir,—As some of our friends have been partly led into supposing that the new charter recently obtained for St. David's College, Lampeter, will interfere with the movement which has long been on foot for establish- ing uusectarian Colleges and University privileges in ales, will you permit ine just to say that in so suppos- ing they labour under a great misapprehension. Lam- peter College is, aud will continue to be, a purely Church of England College We have from the begin- ning proposed and worked for a comprehensive unseeta- run Institution for the whole of the people of Wales aud on a cale far surpassing what Lampeter College in ts proposed extended state is likely to be, or, as a pro- per Church Seminary, possibly can be. We continue, aud hall continue, to labour for the same object until it is secured and the only elfect the obtaining of a charter for a College belonging to one ecclesiastical body to confer one degree in Arts will have upon our move- ment will be to add greatly to the reasons already exist- ing for obtaining for the while of the Principality, in- cluding all sections of the Church, an Institution worthy of the status of a University, whose charter will autho- rize the creation of the highest, degrees in the diffei-ent tieultie,, and degrees which shall command respect among educate,i men. Our Committee deeply regret that the friends of Lam- peter College should steiii so inadequately to estimate the true honour and influence of the Church 1:1 Wales, and of the Welsh people generally, as to be satisfied with, seeking academic distinctions which Oxford, Cam- bridge, aud Loudon are not likely to recognize, and to decline uuiting with us in obtaining a truly Catholio and powerful University which shall be a perpetual source of benefit aud honour to all ranks of the people. If they throw open the advantages of St David's ('ollege, such as they are, on perfectly equal terms to all denomina- tions, even though still retaining the government, as they are bound to do, in their own hands, they must be allowed to be deserving of the gratitude of the public and our Committee will rejoice at the result, as seeing in some small degree their own cherished object accom- plished but if it is supposed that such a concession, with its necessary restrictions, will satisfy the Dissenters and the liberal Church laity of Wales, and induce them to send their sons to Lampeter, I fear the consequence will only prove a sad disappointment. Lampeter has yet to earn its character as a high school of learning. Besides, public enlightenment has already too far ad- vanced to he longer satisfied with narrow exclusiveness in educational privileges. A country, three-fourths of whose population are Nonconformists, deserves a system of education which shall be uusectarian in government, and fair and impartial in the bestowment of distinc- tions. The friends of Lampeter College-we say it with re- gret-have put it beyond their own power, for the pre- sent at least, to contend for such a system. By prefel, ring a charter granting the inferior degree only, without even the shadow of the name of a University," with a government purely sectarian; instead of a complete charter, and a government in harmony with the spirit of modern times and the ecclesiastical condition of Wales, they have let slip one of the grandest opportunities the Established Church ever enjoyed of maintaining her dig- nity and her character for disinterestedness in promoting high-class education among the people. Our movement is firmly based as i Cithohc unsecta- rian movement, consulting the interests of no Church except as it consults the enlightenment of a whole peo- ple and If it should now, in the estimation of soma, assume the appearance of being more mnoonformist than heretofore, the responsibility must lie xx,it??t the too zealous sectarianism of the Lampeter Com- mittee. It is pleasing to IilHl that large-minded and educated laymen of the Church sympathize more than ever in the scheme which our Committee have from the outset ad- vocated, and which they now feel more bound and re solved than ever to see carried out to completion. A sectional College conferring interior degrees involves a greater indignity to the cause of education in our coun- try than no apology for a University at all, and consti- tutes what fairly admits of being considered an implied disrespect to the outstanding majority of the Welsh people, which they cannot be expected uncomplainingly to endure. I am, yours trnly, THOMAS NICHOLAS, Secretary. Office, 7, Delahay-street, London, S. W., Secretar y March 18th, 1865.
