BETHESDA. Lut MMagy-1 )0iug Easter Monday—was observed j_ neighl)oui nood as a general holiday. Large numbers availed < hemaelvee of the new omnibus just started tere and it Bangor,to visit the latter place. The 0umibus ia .>n cannot fail to prove of immeDse _<lDioM" tø.the inhabitants of Bethesda and Bangor; to Messrs. H ughes and Littler, the enterprising proprietors, too a ueh praise cannot be given for thus catering for tlie.« icominodatiwa of the public. It is to be 1I"1><!1i and ear !cted they will teceive at the hands of the latter that en couragement which they deserve. As .1.1 be expected, the cab proprietors of Bethesda finding tkzt 11 0 titellos e- 'eupation is gone," are not particularly deKghted by the aight of the new omnibus, and some of them have been heard to hold forth agaiqgt it in not very conioliule" ry tei-iiia. --It seeiusthat the Bethesda- fee* are now-a-da ,'s inspired with the desire of inaugura- ting several oth< r improvements. The possibility and „ aim probability of having a new Town Hall erected Cor the use of ft e place are now fairly canvassed among the ighabitaiita. Two public meeting. in furtherance of tHe ;movelaw t have already beeu held at the Glan- orwea S-atioiud Schools. Both meetings were presided aer by the JEfe v. J. Morgan, Glanogwen, who dwelt upon the gruwi ti); want experienced in Bethesda for a Town Hall, at t ell as for a new Market Hall. The rev. gentleman oleo ve(I that Bethesda can boast of most of tke essential J of a complete town. It has already a Board of Corn iiissioners and Gas-works, what is now vuiteJ. is <>d Town Hall. At the second public meeting, Mr. lorgan mentioned three different plans through whicl the object in question might be coin- nailed- Ist, 'iy voluntary contributions. 2nd, By (urcaing a kim I of joint stock company. 3rd, By con- ■efltine the hi 11 with the Board of Commissioners, and thus throwing the expense upon the ratepayers. The • 4rå plan ?? lot deemed by the rev. gentleman feasible, the third ha considered would be universally con- deauted by tl e ratepayers consequently there was no Lltalw-ive let but to endiavour to erect a new Town Hall upon the joint stock principle. After several per- sons htd expr essed themselves in favour of the seeond plan, it was f 'oposed by the Hev. R. Hoberts, Carneddi, 2MA seeond'd by Mr. W. J. Pany-" That this meeting being convie !ed of the great want experienced in Be- for a Town Hall, pledges itself, in support of whatever im :cticable means may he adopted towards aeeting one upon the principle off Joint -Stoek Com- puriea." A working committee consisting of a number of ib", tr)Kt« men, and some of the mo"t influential in- habitants of the place, was appointed to take under con- j ^deration If le most effectual means towards securing1 the object i ) view. It ought to be stated that several ] ot the spa kers expressed it as their opinion that coonuodii'tti Market Hall in connection with the Town JUI was a sine qua non of the movement. A vote of. ALkLakii to the rev. chairman having been moved and: jeeoaieil, II Je meeting dispersed.-The latest American bi,,4 < created quite a sensation in this neighbour- s Th 0 iuajuiity of the Belhesda quarrymen having' from the, cmuneiicement of this fratricidal struggle .jy*ipatlii» ,d with the Federal cause, the news of the, iiB of Pto ;ersburg and the evacuation of Richmoud oc-1 c jaaderable satisfaction and rejoicing. I must itl) yrai, Mir. Editor, that these quarrymen are not, aman ,HIli!. icians-far from it. I believe I can venture ta Affirm A ^y Are far more conversant in politics than amy class of working men in the Principality. This is in a great degree owing to the practice which prevails, axiong them,-of emphying B good fmrt of their leisuie titM in AiActisAng political topics. It is not at all a rare: zW3ctacle to behald a group of sturdy quarrymen seated dtring their (firmer hour round one of their number, nuvt, the latter reads some newspaper article, the -maing"being not (infrequently interrupted by remarts; M9 comments offered by one of the interested auditory. Bethesda being, as is well-known, famous for the Haaical proclivities of its inhabitants, it may be sup- pGled that the rumour which has been in circulation mrd reference to the probable conferring of Knighthood vpnn a certain celebrity has afforded considerable gra- tification to the musical amateurs of the place. Here- I cannot refrain from expressing my disgnst-equally felt bv manv others—at the letters u hi mode de Bil- higik;tte that have appeared upon the subject in a con- tenparary of yours. It is such pretentious and iuter- BMddliug would-be literati as the writer of the blatant ad frothy letters in question that succeed best in ex- fneiag Wales and its people to the ridicule of the stranger. If Mr. Brinley Richards ever perused this bombastic tautology penned with the ostensible object of defending him (as if Mr. Richards needed su-ch a defence by stick a defender) agaiust his assailauts in the Orctalru, I cane-asily believe he cxclaimed- 0 save me from my friends." May the gods save us from such literary bores as this ■•egotistical twaddler, who li;w taken such "painful pains" aid "laborious labour" (favourite expressions of our jMithoi) in rendering himseli the laughing stock of all aenstltie readers at his unmeaning verbiage.—Corres-' fondetA.

DENBIGH. I SHOCKING ACCIDENT-THREE LIVES LOST, I This town was shocked ea" on Tuesday morning last with the tidings of a fearful accident which occurred. at the reservoir of the Denbigh Water Works, at Llewes- og, and by which three human lives were lost. The circumstances of the calamity are thus told :-It appeals that a leakage had been discovered in the reservoir, awf to remedy the same a deep trench was directed to be cut for the purpose of being puddled. The trench wm made through a natural embankment rising gradually from the reservoir, extending in a direct line for about 30 yards, and afterwards turning almost at right angles to a length of about 20 yards. It measured something like 17 yards deep, 2k yards wide at the top, and seemed rather narrower at the bottom. It was propped br planks laid horizontally along the sides supported by others across the trench. The formation of the place consists of clay, gravel, and quicksand. The men had' been engaged at the work for many months, and liadi nearly finished puddling to the turning point of the trench, when the accident took place. At six o'clock on Tuesday morning, five men were employed as usual in excavating,—the deceased men were inside digging,, and the two others conveying the material out by means- of wheelbarrows. Just at seven o'clock, as one of the two was returning into the trench with his wheelbarrow,. he observed the sides falling in with a heavy pressure from above, and he had scarcely given the alarm before the trench was totally closed, himself narrowly escaping from sharing in the sad fate of the three poor fellown who were at the furthest extremity buried alive. The sides gave way, it* is supposed, as the men were remov. ing some of the props. Information of the catastrophe soon reached Denbigh, (a distance of two miles), and in a very short time scores of people had arrived on the scene of the accident., all overwhelmed with anxiety to extricate the bodies with- out delay. The directors of the Water Company, viz: the Mayor, Dr. Tumour, Mr. Martin Smith, V.C.R., Mr. J. C. W. Edwards, Mr. (I. Williams, Vale-street, and Mr. Gold Edwards, promptly appeared on the spot, in a distressed state of mind, aud they exerted them- selves in every possible way with a view of finding the unfortunate men. Mr. Duncan, of Liverpool, the en- gineer of the works, was telegraphed for, and that gen- tleman was at Lleweso before six in the evening, and rendered valuable service. About, 30 or 40 men were -employed by the Company at once to dig for the bodies, and they were kept, at work alternately with others with increasing activity, day and night, but up to the time of going to press, we had not heard of their suc- ceeding in finding them The names of the deceased men are—John Evans, of Denbigh, aged 35, unmarried Jabez Roberta, of Den- bigh, aged 38, left a widow and three children and Edward Roberts, of Rhewl. Prion, aged 48, left a widow and two children. We are glad to find that subscriptions have been started in aid of the bereaved families, and all sums will be gratefully received by Mr. E. George, County Court Office, Denbigh. The Denbigh String Ban(I g-tve a concert last night (Friday) for the same object. It was originally intended for the benefit of the Band.

I FESTINIOG. CONCERT.—On Thursday evening, the 13th, inst., the Village Brass Baud, assisted by a choir of vocalists, un- der the leadership of Mr. Robert Jones, gave a Concert at the New M arket Hall, Blaeuau, in aid of the funds of the former. The Band was led by Mr. Dickson, its instructor. The greatest interest was taken in the meet- ing by the inhabitants of Blaenau, who were most anxious to hear how the Village Band would acquit themselves as compared with the Quarries' Brass Band, which was started about the same time as the other, and we are glad to say that the performance looked upon, comparitively as well as absolutely, gave the greatest satisfaction. This sort of healthy rivalry will tend to stimulate both bands to more vigorous exertions to excel one another, than which nothing can be more laudable. The hall was densely crowded. Mr. Davies, of Cae'r- blaidd, kindly consented to preside over the meeting, which he did in his usual interesting style. The short and pithy addresses, replete with humour and wit, which he delivered at intervals in the course of the pro- ceedings, greatly amused the audience. The programme was in two parts, with an interval of ten minutes be- tween them, and consisted of polkas, dances, Welsh airs, and glees, the latter being given by the choir. The first part closed with God bless the Prince of Wales, and the second part, as usual, with the National Anthem. During the ten minutes' interval we had some capital songs from Messrs. Biloy, Pring, and Roberts. Mr. Bilby gave the comic song, The Lazy Society," amidst roars of laughter. llr. Roberts sang a Welsh senti- meatal song with pleasing effect, and Mr. Pring followed with the favourite Welsh air, Glan medd'dod mwyn," which was well received by the audience. We thought we never heard the old song going better; though so much hackneyed, it had quite the charm of novelty about it. If we we were allowed to make one or two remarks by way of criticising, we would say in the first place that the programme was, in our opinion, much too long. It is no easy matter, under the most favour- able circumstances, tu keep the attention of an audience from flagging for such a length of time as it would have taken this programme to be gone through. The other suggestion we wished to make was this. In an enter- tainment of a mixed character—vocal and instrumental -such as this was, we think it would improve the effect of the performance greatly if the choir struck up their pieces as soon as the band had finished theirs, and vice versa. Coming thus at once, the contrast would bo more striking. We thought also the playing ought to have been more subdued but wo have no doubt that by degrees, as they get more experienced, this defect will be removed. We mention these things as being, in our opinion, points desirable to be attended to. Taking the, performance as a whole, it was a highly creditable one to all the parties who took part in it. The progress the band has made in so short a time, and in the face of so many disadvantages, is tiuly wmdorful. They were fortunate at first ia getting tha services of susli an able instructor as Mr. Dickson, who has been Most assiduous in his nttention to train them, and the result of this their second public entertainment prove him to be also a successful teacher The chairman in his con- cluding remarks heartily congratulated the band and choir, stating that they had far okeeeded his expecta- tions and added that the two bands we have now among us were an honour to the neighbourhood. He hoped that, as the movement had been warmly sup- ported by the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, some of them being magistrates, the members would be careful at all times to conduct themselves with propriety. We hope this advice will not be lost upon them. The even- ing being brilliantly fine the band played several pieces along the way in going and returning. LECTURE —On Monday, the 10th inst., Mr. Robert Parry (Robyn Ddu Eryri) delivered a lecture on the. "Advancement of the Working Mao," at the new Market Hall, Rev. Ll. Jones, Bethania, in the chair. Considering the object of the lecture and the celebrity of the lecturer, we were rather surprised to see such a small audience. The lecture was based upon the open- ing sentence, viz.,—That the Almighty had inseparably connected the happiness of man with the performance of bis duty. The proceeds were to be devoted in aid of the funds towards the support of the wiclew of the late Huw Tegai. Mr. Parry gore another lecture the following night on Sings of genius," at the Rkwbryf dir Independent chapel.

MACHYNLLETH. I THE PATENT LIFE PRESERVING APPARATUS Great disippointtneiif-was experienced1 by the inhabi- tants of Abcrdovey, the-other day. owing to the non- appearance at the enterpnsing navigator,, who purposed making an arpatic excursion of several1 miles in a newly- patented apparatus intended for saving-life during ship- wrecks and other casualities to whicfciso- large a number of our sea-giat islanders are exported. Our readers at Aberdovey, and other plices on the- intended route of the enterprising patentee will have tbotr disappointment m-xlified when they are informed thafeif the- experiment was not a perfect success it was by mo-means a perfect failure; and we hive reason to belitve- that the good folks who were disappointed, will shortly have another opportunity of' witnessing the compete success of the experiment, which all pbilanthropiste; informed of its object.s, will anticipate with interest, and accent to the ingeuious contriver their hearty sympathies and earnest wishes for success. THe mechanician,. who has essayed a task. so difficult, is Mr. John Rèes, watmmaker, Machynlleth; and he has like many other sanguine and spirited experimen- talist?,devoted1 atarge-proportion of his- leisone time in devising, improving, and endeavouring to perfect an ap- paratus, which-if successfully complied, moot. be con- sidered a desideratum of no ordinary diameter among the sloilful and multifarious: contrivances which moderrningeniiay has suggested,.in orcler to save life and mitigate physical sufferings.. The apparatus referred to, without attempting to-give a. full technical explanation of it, msy be described as-consisting of a, water proof covering forthe body, t!io elasticity of which is materially enhanced by air tubes,- which cap be in- inflated at the, weazefs pleasure. It is, light, 60 as to render it essy of transifc'j: and it can be compressed into a sniall compass so -as to facilitate that 'object. It caii,be rmdily a(ijiistecl;and is so buoyant that the wearer fibats in a semi-reenmbent position, par- tially on his back, at ease upon tha-watery pillow upon which he reclines his head, if wearied by aiJong voyage. Beneath the back, ia an inflated aimpsuch, which is, we presume the chief cause of the buoyancy- of the dress. It may be compared in appearance, to the illustration in Pilgrim's Progress, of Christian, with his iunrden on his shoulders: only-it is one lighter to be borne. It is provided with- propellors, to saeure rapid locomotion through the water, when the wc-arer is disposed to make progress his.speed being regelated by his own exer- tioils. Mr. Rees foJt so satisfied with, the- result of his la- hour, and that it was adapted ffir the purposes intended, that he determined boldly to exhibit its. merits and de- fects to the public, and that imbroad daylight, on their own favourite water. He publicly announced his no- vel experiment by means of placards throughout the district. The peculiarity and! importance of the experi- ment of our determined fellow-townsman, induced a number of spectators to post themsetres on various po. sitions aloflg the banks of the river from Machynlleth to Aberdovey. Lady Vane, Lady Edwards, and a number of the principal inhabitants of the district were present on the occasion, as they felt much,intorested in the result. Mr. RefS, having equipped himself in his ingenious ha- biliments, launched himself boldly on the clear waters of the Dovey, which ran, at that time pretty rapidly. He floated along in good style,, apparently with facility and comfort, and proceeded) for some short distance with ap- parent confidence in his handiwork, as well as in his safety. He was loudly cheered and applauded by the spectators; but unhappily he appeared to have lost his self-possession, which was probably caused by his anxiety, and his fimTuig hiinselt in an element to which he is by no means, accustomed, being an indifferent swimmer. He accordingly altered his plan to proceed' to Aberdovey, andi lbuded. for the purpose of transferring his apparatus to an adept, who. was more accustomed to. the treacherous element. An amphibious animal—a. fisherman in tha- neighbourhood, named David Ellis, next donned the magic garment, plunged in, and pro. ceeded along at a glorious rate, paddling away like some sea monster of uuknown genus, and no doubt strik- ing the fish with consternation at such a bold invasion of their element. The fisherman continued his eourse gaily for about a, mile, when, by some means, he turned on his faoo, instead of maiutaining the luxuriant semi- recumbent position, and at this juncture, some-defect was evidently apparent in the apparatus. He, however, regained the shore, without evincing much, incon- venienee so that our readers at Aberdovey and else- where, have now a full explanation, and we trust a satis- factory one, too, of the reasons why they were unable to satisfy their curiosity in viewing the advent of the bold navigator, who fully proposes to pay them an early vi- sit when be has modified his complicated contrivance. We understand that a portion of the waterproof fabric was manufactured at Manchester, from designs prepared by Mr. Reas, who has expended much time and money in ùringiug his patent to its present state of perfection. The price of the dress, when manufactured, will be about £10 or 9 15. Earl Vane and several gentleman in the neighbourhood, have consented to purchase a suit each, if it should prove the tiling it is intended to be, namely, an effective life preserver. Mr Rees informs us of an ingenious magistrate, in the county of Glamorgan, who was most passionately ad- dicted to the gentle piscatorial craft, and who found in his rambles that rivers barred his progress. To remedy this evil, he devoted his constructive faculties to supply a convenience when placed iu such predicaments. His persevering labours resulted in the production of an In- dia-rubber paletot or light cloak, which in rough weather protected him from wind and i-ain, and which oould be slmi" over his shoulder by a strap in fine weather. When inflated, this paletot was distended into a boat, which he used in crossing rivers, paddling himself with his hands. We oan hope with the author of John Gilpin, under other novel cirouwstance, that whoa Mr. Rees doaa next ride that way (Dovey) may wa be there to m.

I LLANFECHELL. MOUNTAIN INOLOSCRE —On the 13th inst., a large as- semblage--chiefly the inhabitants being residents on the common called Mynydd Mecbell, situate in this parish, met at the Crown Inn. At the concourse of persons were so great the meeting was adjourned and proposed to be held at the National Schoolroom for the purpose of examining their claims to the Common. R. Walleford Attree. Esq., London, the valuer, was the examiner, whose services were much appreciated by all assembled. It appears Mr. Attree's mission is to ascertain all those who have been twenty years in pos- session of their allotments. It is understood that all property occupied under that term will be confiscated, and it will be dealt with according to the powers stated in the Inclosure Commissioners' under the Act of Parliament, and that all other portions of the Common above twenty years, the Crown will claim. I'he only landowner that was observed present whose land approxi- mates the Common was W. BUlkeley Hughes, Esq., of Has Coch.

I ST. ASAPH. THE MAJORITY OF WILLIAM GRENVIIXE IWILKLAMS, FSQ. A public meeting wwheld on Thursday evening, the 29th instant, in the Vestry-room, St. Asaph, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best mode of celebrating the coming-oftage of William Grenville Wil- liams, Esq eldest son of Sir Hugh Williams, Bart., Bndelwyddan, which takes,plwe on the 30th of next, month.

Letters were read from Mr. Wyatt, and Mr. Roberts, of IILae Hill, apologising for non-attendance, and ex- pressing their utmost willingness to co-operate in the festivities. The-meeting was convened by-circulars, issued by Mr. Edward- Roberts, and The Chairman said the inhabitants of St. Asaph were indebtedi to Mr. Roberts for initiatitig this movement. (Hear, hear.) Sir Hugh Williams,-he added, was a large landowner,—he was, so to speak, the magnet of the neighborhood—and it was a great thing that they should sympathize with him on jouevent of such impor- tance and interest to himself aud family, namely—the cotning-efcage of his eldest son, Wcw Grenville Williams, Esq., who would then attain the age of manhood, when he should be in a position to enjoy all the privileges of a citizen-.of England. He felt favourable to some pub- lic demonstration on the joyous event, because it evinced a genial, neighbourly, and Christian spirit, and would be the meana-of binding all classes heartily together. (Ap- plause.)' After a-deal of conversation, the following resolutions were unanimously passed:— 1. That, subscriptions be raised foe-celebrating the ma- jority of Wm. Grenville Williams, Esq. The money to be spent iu entertaining and regaling the poor people and children of the parish of St. Asaph; also for carrying on a few rixal aud aituletic sports. 2.

PENtREYOELAS. CCRCERT BY THE FFIHURCH CHOIR.—On Monday even- last, the members of the Church Choir, assistedibyother-i from the neighbourhood, gave an entertainment in .the National School, the proceeds of which were to-be given to the wfdow of the late Mr. Hugh Charles, who had been a member of the above choir for upwards-of forty years. The Rev. O. Jbues and M rs. Jones alternately presidedlat the harmonium. The programme consisted of well-selected pieces, and at the close of each the per- formers were loudly cheered. As to the execution of the pieces, and the composition of the Choir, we may state that the general effect was excellent, though;, per- haps, the tenor and alto parts were scarcely strong enough. The Rev. T. Williams' (Llanrvvst) rendbrmg o? Gwenith-Gwyu" evidenced a pleasant and useful- v.)ice and much good taste. He was obliged to sing itragain. The rendering of t. Clychwt Lfanfyllin," by Mr. Hugh Roberts, received a most enthusiastic encore, who' sang instead Gwendolen Pugfu" which was loudly cheered. Beautiful Star," sang by the Revds. 0. Jones and J. Pritchard, Mr. E. Thomasy Mrs. Pritchard, and' Miss A. Roberts, was certainly the best sling, and was deserv- edly encored but they diit not repeat it. Mr. GHffiih Owen, in his song, The Four Bachelors," was loudly encored, but as it was getting late, he declined singing it again. Everyone seemed delighted with the enter- tainment, audithe concert,-taken as a whole, was aigreat success (without reference to-the object for whichjit-was Iiven-in itself a worthy one¡, and the pieces suugr gave < considerable amount of satisfaction.

PORTMADOC. REGATTA.-OII ,Easter Monday, a regatta for small croft was appointed to take place in Portmadoe, and a good deal of preparation had: been made for the event. The. d-,ty, however,.was very, unpropitious, as there-was not. a capful of air, and the regatta was in consequence postponed until Monday next. THE TRADE 07 THE Pom-:—The slate trade, aac m, ual, continues to be 7ery brisk, the only difficulty being to supply orders. The railw.-iys, in every direction, are progressing very rapidly, and they employ a great num- ber-of men 'but the building trade, we are sorry to say, remains at a complete staud-still, for reasons we have before stated. EASTER Nfo-qi)AY.-E%ster- Monday is always grand holiday in the Port, and this-year it was kept up" in very grand style. Aregattaiwas to have taken place, and boat races clubs walked in procession and a lite- rary meeting was held in the Independent (new) Chapel, which was very numerously attended. In fact, the town was crowded during the whole-of the day, aud though the stops were empty, the- public-houses were quite full. Good Friday-is not much regarded—Easter Mon- day is. TBB .GLASLYN RIVER.—We are glad to say that good Bport iis to be obtained in this river in the present sea- son, and good fish-are-very abundant, owing, no doubt, to the care with -which it is-preserved by the conserva- tors. A.few days.ago, the-Ite-v. T. LI. Kyffin succeeded in hooking and landing a fine salmon, weighing H lbs. and on Tuesday last,. Colour-sergeant Thos. Jones Wil- liams caught a trout;.weighing 4 lbs., in capital condi- tion. This is good news for our piscators, and our tour- ist friends shouldi make a note of it. LITERARY MEETit;o-Tlbe ai)niial literary -meeting was held in Salem (Independent) Chapel on Mbnday last, which was well attended by persons from alL parts of the district.. There were, m fact, three meetings—in the morning, afteruoonj.aud evening; Mr. J. Phillips (Te- gidou) presiding in the morning, the lliJv. William Jones in the afternoon, and the Hev. W: Ambrose in the evening. The-morniug meeting was commenced at 10 a.mi, by a solo-011 the harmonium, after which the Chairman delivered! an address. Then followed recita- tions, dnett and other singing, and poetiosleompositions, some of which were of considerable merit, for each of which.there were-prizes awarded. Admission was by ticket,,to defray expenses. The following englyn on The Cradle," which won the prizev was the produc- tion of.Mr. W.

The m eeting., throughout was a great sitecess in every respect.. THE NEW VOLUNTEER SHOOTING RANGE.—Some time ago, we intimated that the railway across Traath M awr necessitated the making of at new range for the Volunteer shooting, as the line crosses the present ground at the farther end, which, would scarcely do. A. new range on the splendid level ground of the Tmeth had consequently to be marked out, and as there is a aertain amount of responsibility; attached to it, Captain Slbthew deemed it only prudent to ask the War Office to despatch an Inspector to attend and approve of the ground., On Tuesday last, Captain Nares, of Carnarvon, attended by the Adjutant, Captain Peel, Mr. E. Breese (as the representative of D. Williams, Esq., Dendraeth Castle), and Captain Mather inspected the new shooting range, and the Inspector expressed himself highly de- lighted with it, as it is even, superior to the old range, which was admitted to be the very best in Wales. All that is required now, therefore, is a warrant of approval from the War Office, and that is expected to-arrive in a day or two. On Saturday evening last the Company was inspected by Captain Peel, and the men were put through marching drill. This was performed so satis- factorily that the Adjutant highly complimented the Company, and remarked that he did not think the marching could be surpassed by a regimsnt of the line, and that it was most creditable to all concerned—officers and men. We are. likewise much pleased to have to state that the Band is progressing in a wonderful man- ner, and that, too,, without their having any paid master to teach them. TESTIMONIAL, TO SIR EDWARD POORE.For some three or four years past, the Hentireddu Slate Quarry, near Brynkir, has been under the management of Sir Edward Poore, who is now leaving the quarry and the neighbourhood, as many of our readers doubtless may know. Sir Edward, by his uniform kindness and up- right conduct secured the warm attachment of all the workmen, who, when they learnt that lie was about to leave them, expressed their sorrow and regret in no measured terms-one of the workmen exclaiming (in Welsh) that though a strict" master, he had always proved himself to be a very upright" one. As a small token of their respect and regard, the workmen of the quarry, of their own free will, and without the know- ledge of Sir Edward, made a subscription amongst them- selves, and purchased a massive gold telescope pencil and pen case. On Tuesday morning last, they sent a message to him, requesting his attendance at the quar- ry and when lie went there, much to his astoiiialimetit, he found that he was to be presented with a testimonial by the men. The presentation was made, Oil behalf of the workmen, by Mr. W. Williams, superintendent of the quarry, who expressed the great sorrow which they all felt at his leaving them; and their deep appreciation of his past kindness, and also of that of Lady Poore, and especially to the pony men who had met with accidents in the quarry—kindness which the workmen would never forget. He had been an upright master, and on a who always kept hb word, though a. strict oix% and they fe? ?y deep r.? at his leaving th? Sir Edward, who <?.d quit? overwhelmed at thM??ne proof rtTflxr high' est{m?4on in which he  workmen, b*Jy expr^ his thanks, and s^that, coming fronfMch a ao?ee, and under '-hec'rcum?eM he prized the HMe pr?t more than he should if it were worth a th??ct g.??, and given to himbyl^s disinterested p?rt?

I eitthin. COUNTY COURT.-Thtl bi-monthly County Court for this district was held in the County Hall, on Monday last, before R. V. William., E?J?dga. About 30 small cases were disposed of.  plairskff sued th-a defendant for 11 2s. 6d., balance of wages alleged to be due for J¡jJJing rabbits. for Mr. Pr-t,)n, and 8"S?«3tfl that the c?e should be referred to the Re&t-r, it be- ing merely a matter of accounts. His Ho?UR thought it was too trivkl to be to the Itegistmr, and having questioned both parties as to the dates and figures of their respective books, he gave iudffnaent for defendant. Edward Williams v. M. Anne Williams, Penycoed, Another action for balance of wages (t I 4k\ due for la- bour done on defendant's farm. Mr. Lonis appeared for the defence.

In October h? be became quite unmaiiagmble, dis obeyed her orders, and one day he eyenstrucfc her wilh his fist on the b?t. She then paid him t3-M6., and sent him off the prevoises.

TilE Vfsrr OF THE KING or THE BELGIANS TO ENG- LAN-D-The continental journals continue to speculate as to the cause ofthe visit which the King of the Belgians is now-making; to the English Court. Some even state that France proposes to incorporate a portion of Belgium with- in a short time-; others, again, wildly 11RSCrt that there is a project of an alliance between France-and Prussia at the; cost of the Bfclgic nation, and that his Majesty has jour- neyed to Eivgjaud with no other viewthan that of avert, irg the tlneatened danger but a Vienna correspondent claims to Imve discovered the grand secret-that the visit is simply relating to the projected marriage of the Princess Helena of England to the Hereditary Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover.

t ami £,tt'$. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH COITNT TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. With another week's continuance of fine weather beyond the calculation of any of the prophets, the effect upon vegetation since April opened upon us has been immense, as well as nearly instantaneous. Spring, so long in earning, appears to have been distanced by summer, and all nature seems to have clapped her hands. The fears of the alarmists have partially subsided. Holders of light lands, who had fared the worst, had no doubt reason for being loud in their complaints, but the drill may fill up gaps in time for a crop; though mixed samples are not the best, and there is plenty of time for tillering where the plants have been thinned, while the complete pulverization of the soil by repeated frosts, will transcend in its effects the most diligeat application of the harrow or the hoe. As respects legitimate wheat soils, we mean the clays and heavy loams, the proapects are now reported to be as good as usual. and even the fens are very promising. As April, however, ought to bEl tjhowery, we may yet verge upon drought; but tlkta would ollly seriously tell upon apring earn, tha moUtore ot tht 4ribaoU of EngUwd being ?eneMi)'" sufthtent for whe?t In the driest seMon. 140wever m hive no reason to su$Pad the gmdness of frovMence<w))tt? be our deserts; and, as the Lent a" his been bitbert<1,, e.er in, let M hope that farmers will h»f» plentiful Stthetf? i<>t all kinds of grain. The like tMeHtf htVe generally ext?ow all parts of Europe, ød the period of apprehensions for the jne. sent seems passing OWSY, But what of prices amidst tkf, change? We oan only say, the late slight advance has been about lost: but with our scale of imports so rednce4 as of late and stocks going quietly off, and the pressnt enormous consutnp. tion, there is nothing to encourage Importers to increase the pre. sent ratio, though the Baltic is now open and America In II. other month will have her inland navigation free. By Ne" York reports we have indeed been calling markets lower with every mail; but so far as this country is concerned I low0c with Irish decline, rates not having kept pace with the reJuetlon in gold.

And thus it id with Mr. Whites Moc- Main Patent Lever Truss: it has received high praise from our eminent Medical men. along with the grateful and voluntary te • timony of the thousands of sufferers who have worn it. as to the case and comfort it imparts. In a w-drd, it is an Instrument sO skilfully constructed, that it possesses all the security of the fttee Spring, with the facile and readily-yieldinK support of "era bandage; whilst it is so simple in Its arrangement that it can be immediaielyaccommodated to the comfort and security Ofth' wearer the' .ever being capable of graduation to any require pressure.
