THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE CARNAUNON RAILW %T. It is with much regret we have to record the death of the young man, Edward Jones, who met with such a serious accident on the above line of railway some three weeks ago, by a train passing over his left arm. The limb had to he amputated but mortification superven- ed, and the poor young man died on Saturday night last to the great sorrow of all who knew him, as he was a remarkably kind, intelligent and sober pe-, soil. Byhis death the Railway Company have lost a most promising and steady servant.. NORTH WALES TRAINING COLLEGE.—A special meet- ing for the election of a Principal for this Institution, in the room of the Rev. Rees Williams, M.A., resigned, took place on the 21st inst., at the Palace, Bangor. Present- The Lord Bishop of Bangor in the chair the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph; Very Reverend the Deans of Bangor and St. Asaph Venerable Archdea- cons Wickham, Wynne Jones, and Foulkes; Canon Henry Glyniie Chancellor James Williams; Sir Ste- phen Glynne, Bart. Townshend Mainwaring, Esq., l'd. P., W. Bulkeley Hughes, Esq., M.P.; H. it. Sand bach, Esq.; Revds. liogh Morgan J. C. Vincent; E. Pugbe, Hon. Sec. H. P. Wanley, Esq., Hon. Sec. The successful candidate was the Rev. J. Sidney Boucher, M.A., formerly Scholar and Prizeman of St. John's Col- lege, Cambridge, now Principal of Holybank School, Birkenhead, and author of several works, and also of a book on Mensuration, approved by the Committee of Council on Education, and by several public schools. Upwards of 50 candidates had applied for the post, which number was by a sub-committee reduced to four. The contest was severe between Mr. Boucher and the remain- ing three, who were gentlemen of considerable practical experience, occupying high and responsible positions, one being 12th Wrangler, another 38th Wrangler, and the third Senior Op. and F.G.R.S. and F.A.R.S. The majority for Mr. Boucher was two. APPOINTMENT OF AN ASSISTANT ORGANIST TO BANGOR CATHEDRAL.—It is with much pleasure that we have to announce that Mr. R. Roberts, of the Training College, Carnarvon, and the composer of the Siege of Harlech,, Cantah, has been appointed Assistant Organist to Bangor Cathedral-an appointment we believe which will be hailed with the liveliest feelings of gratification, not only by the personal friends of idr Roberts, but by the whole of the inhabitants of Bangor. Sometime ago it was decid- ed by the Chapter of the Cathedral to appoint an Assist- ant Organist to Mr. Pring, who, for many years has ful- filled the duties with credit to himself and satisfaction to every one, and applications were received from about 30 persons, some of them being noted in the musical world. The choice ultimately fell upon Mr. Roberts, and we beg to congratulate both the talented gentleman, and also the Chapter and the members of the Church upon the selection, as we feel sure it was the best which could have been made. It is quite unnecessary for us to en- large upon the musical talents of Mr. Roberts, iuasmuch as they are well known in North Wales, and by those who are as fully qualified to judge of them as we can possibly be. In addition to his being one of the very best players on the pianoforte which Wales can boast, he has a sound knowledge of the theory of music, as proved by the Cantata; and altogether we regard his appoint- ment with unmixed pleasure and gratification. FIRE AT THE SHOP OF MR WILLIAMS, CHEMIST.-Be- tween six and seven o'clock on Monday evening last, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. Williams, chemist, High-street, opposite to the Castle, which, though PtAy subdued, may have been attended with the most serious results. It appears that the apprentice boy had lit a piece of paper with which he was looking for something under the counter, when some paper which was stowed there got ignited. The boy at first tried to put out the fire himself, but finding it impossible to do so, he at once gave the alarm, and in a few moments crowds of people—neighbours and others-rushed to the spot. At one time the fire had a most alarming appearance and the destruction of the whole premises seemed inevitable; but the people worked with a right good will; for although they could not get water out of 'I to.. the town pipes, buckets. evj, were maae use oi, ana a good supply of water was obtained from the Castle Ho- tel, the Albion and other houses close by; and after the most intense excitement, the fire was got under and the premises were saved. How the shop escaped entire de- struction appears to us to be alnikst miraculous. The whole range of drawers under the counter, with their oontents-cases of cigars, snuff, patent medicines, &c.,— were consumed; and the heat was so great that it blis- tered the drawers upon the wall-shelves, and burst seve. ral bottles which contained inflammable substances; and yet the top of the counter escaped with a good scorching. Had the tire but once got the upper hand, the loss of property must have been immense; but this was pre- vented by the promptness and energy displayed by the neighbours, as Mr. Williams himself, we believe, was from home at the time. The water hoae belonging to the Local Government Board was brought to the spot under the superintendence of Mr. Hardie, the Surveyor; but fortunately, its services were not required. The t;ted loss (for we are told that quite as much pro- ,er? damaged by the water as by the fire) is from Ltween £ 70 and ?80-n mere bagatelle when such va- Lble moperty was placed in such imminent jeop,,tr(ly, aud we congratulate Mr. Williams Ul:o Ius good for- tune We are informed that Mr. W. L insured in the We?of EnK]andFire and Llf In?ra?e theB?r A?ut tr?ch rentable uiBcei. Mr. JohnPntch- Met, Auctioneer. We are requested to state that although the shop was crowded by all kinds of people, and it was filled for some time with thick gaseous vapour, Mr. Williams has not missed a single article but what was destroyed by the fire. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.-We understand that a num- ber of gentlemen met by invitation from Townsend Maimvaring, Esq., at Galltfaenan, on Thursday last, for the purpose of discussing the subject of the Cattle Plague," and for taking steps to prevent its spreading in the Principality. A series of resolutions were, we be. lieve, entered into; but as the meeting was of private character, they have not been made known. It was decided, however, to memorialize Sir Pyeis Mostyn, as President of the Flintshire and Denbighshire Agricul- tural Society, to call an early public meeting. Mr. W. Clarke recommended the formation of a local insurance soctefy, and it was suggested that he and Mr. Churton should prepare a code of rules to be submitted at the forthcoming meeting. The party were most hospitably treated by Mr. Mainwaring PRESENTATION TO Mil. H. HULSE, PROFESSOR OF MU- sic.-Oik Thursday evening last, the members of the Bangor Orchestral 1LTiiiou presented their leader and con- ductor, Mr. 11. Hulse, with a beautiful Signet Ring, as some recognition of his untiring exertions to bring the choir to a state of musical efficiency. For this purpose they invited him to a dinuer at the Prince of Wales Inn, near to the Railway Station, where a capital spread was provided by Mr. and Mrs. Williams, assisted by Miss Boston. The whole of the members were present on the occasion,—the chair being taken by T. Hathaway, Esq., Garth, and the vice-chair by Mr. R. Roberts, postmas- ter. After the dinner was over, the Chairman presented the Riug to Mr. Hulse, on behalf of the members, and read the following address We, the members of the Bangor Orchestral Union, beg to avail ourselves of this opportunity to testify to you our appreciation of the ac- tive and valuable services you have rendered—often, we are aware, at considerable inconvenience to yourself—in the establishing and conducting of this Society, and for the direction of our efforts in the cultivation of instru- mental music. As a token thereof—though inadequate as a recognition of your merits, or as a manifestation of our esteem—we beg your acceptance of the accompany- ing Gold Signet Ring; and with it our most cordial good wishes and unanimous hope that you may enjoy a long and prosperous life." Mr. Hulse then made an appropriate response. The Ring is a very neat one (made of IS carat gold), and cost, we believe, 5 guineas. On the seal is a lyre, nicely lithographed and on the inside of the ring is the following inscription :—" B.O.U. To II. Hulse, Esq., 1865." The dinner took place a little after 7 o'clock in the evening, and a very pleasant and social evening was spent by the little company.

CAPTAIN HAMPTON LEWIS'S HARRIERS. I Can you afford a brief space in your valuable paper to the doings of this pack, which has now for several seasons afforded excellent sport to the gentlemen and ladies of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire ? Tuesday, the 7th, was the first day of the Anglesey Hunt Meeting, which has been auuually. held at Beaumaris for upwards of a century; and on this occasion the meet, which was at Pentraeth, was more numerously attended than ordinarily, there being present in the field many ladies, among whom we noticed the lady patroness of the huut balls, the daughter of the gallant Master, and others and also many strangers, of whom were several cavalry officers, attracted from the Sister Isle by the festivities of Beaumaris. A few minutes after twelve the hounds were thrown off in the grass lands adjoining Pentraeth, where a hare was quickly found, and as quickly run into. A second showed somewhat better sport, and after a ring of some 20 minutes met with the same fate. There was no lack of hares, and a third proved one of the right sort, and tested the merits of the hounds and the skill of their huntsman. The sceut at first was cold, and after some slew hunting for some 15 minutes, the hounds were brought to a check, which afforded the Master an opportunity of displaying his wonted skill and experience. By a judicious cast the hounds were soon brought on terms with Puss, and after an excellent run of 2.5 miuutes she was gallantly pulled down in the open. The country in Anglesey is stiffly enclosed, some ef the banks proving obstacles not to be despised, and though on this occasion most of the fields were not far off at the finish, yet some deep ground, and difficult at the commencement, sorely puzzled a large part of the field. On the 9th the hounds met again at Braiut, where some excellent sport was again afforded to a numerous field. These hounds have now been kept and hunted by Cilpt. Hampton Lewis for up- wards of 25 years, the first half of the period being spent in Yorkshire, and the latter in Anglesey. During the whole of this period Captain Hampton Lewis has paid the most unremitting attention to the breeding and selection of these hounds, the blood, we believe, being derived chiefly from the. kennels of the Earl of Sutton, and the pack formerly hunted in Anglesey by Mr. Fuller Meyrick. For speed they are sufficiently fast to try the best men and the stoutest horses over the big banks and small enclosures of Anglesey and for true hunting qualities we do not think they could easily be surpassed, In hunting the hounds the motto of the gallant Master is, Let well alone," and the hounds having learned to depend more on their own noses than on being lifted, and on view halloos. rarely fail to afford good sport, and very seldom suffer a hare to escape them. There are no foxes in Anglesey, but the hares are stout, scent excellent, and the country on the whole not bad- ly adapted for hunting, and those sportsmen who pre- fer staying at home to going abroad for fox hunting, find a very good substitute in Capt. Hampton Lewis's Harriers.—" Mouensis "—Bells Life.

BANGOH AND BEAUMARIS UNION. I The ordinary meeting of the Uuardiaus of this Union was held on Wednesday last. Prelent-Hr. Bicknell (Chait man), Messrs. W. T. Rogers (Vice-chairman), W. Pritchard, Rowland Parry, E. P. Evans, Roger Evans, IV. Griffith, John Roberts, George James, W. Thomas, Richard Evans, and the Kev. T. J. Williams. Death of ilfi- W Gi-iffith, Relieving Officer.-The Chair- man announced to the Board the sudden demise of Mr. W. Griffith, Relieving Officer for No. 2 Anglesey Dis- trict of the Union. He was spoken of by the Chairman and other Guardians, as a well-meaning officer, who ac- cording to his abilities, invariably studied the interests of poor people. The district being considered of too large an area, it was suggested to equalize the two Anglesey districts, and to appoint each officer registrar of births and deaths in their respective parishes. The Clerk was instructed to communicate with the Registrar General the views of the Guardians upon the subiect; and it was resolved that the Board do at its rising stand adjourned to Friday morning, the 24th inst." Mr. G. W. Prees (late Relieving Officer for Bangor), most kindly undertook to discharge the duties of the late ofifcer, till his sucoessor was appointed in his place. The Chairman, on behalf of the Guardians, thanked Mr. Prees for his readiness at all times to assist the Board. THE MENAI BRIDGE NUISANCES. Mr. Edward Edwards, Inspector of Nuisances for the parish of Llaudysilio, reported to the Board as fol- lows; Gentlemen,—The sanitary state of Msnai Bridge does not improve upon further inspection, and no amount of surface cleaning by the removal of accumula- tion will be of any avail until a proper system of drain- age be adopted, and the owners be compelled to con- struct proper conveniences for the use of their tenants. I Premises that were cleaned a fortnight back, are now becoming as bad as ever, for it is quite impossible that poor people can keep their places clean with things as they are. Under these circumstances I must request the Board to give me positive authority to adopt the 22nd Section of the Nuisance Removal Act of 1855, and have the main sewer (already constructed) examined and made available. When this is done, the owners, by the 13th section, can be compelled to drain their premises into it. I strongly recommend this, but in doing so it would be a source of great satisfaction to me, if the Board would appoint one or two disinterested persons to inspect the place with me, on an early day, for a few few hours only. In consequence of the stopping up of the sewer, un- der the Holyhead Board (at the west end of the village) from the adjoining bog, I thought it my duty to write the following letter to the Surveyor 1 gjr I have to call your attention to the large ac- cumulation of water en the bog adjoining the village of Menai Bridge, caused by the closing of the sewer under the embankment of the Holyhead road. Previous to this, this bog was considered to be a nuisance injurious to the public health; it will now become much more so, if means be not immediately taken to drain it. remain, Si1- Your obedient servant, ED. EDWARDS. To Jam. Haywood, Esq.' In reply, I was informed that the work was in course of being let to a contractor, and that no unnecessary delay aliouid tllre place. "The complaint of a nuisance existing in iMr essrs. —IM- vies's timber pool having been delivered to me in writ- ing, I called upon Mr. Davies, at Bodlondeb-stated the complaint, viz., that the spring tides overflowing the causeway into the pool, brought with it all manner of refuse, which lodged among the timber, and caused the nuisance. I prepared M a remedy that a gap be ade in the causeway, and a clear channel for the tide kep^ open through the middle of the pool. Mr Davies object- ed to this plan. but proposed to raise the causeway above high water spring tide, and so check the tide altogether. which of these two plans will be the best will have to be examined by the Board as the Local Authority for the place, or leave the question to be decided by the ma- gistrates in Petty Sessions. In justice to the working or lower classes of the vil- lage and Ileiglibourliood, I must say that under all their disadvantages and want of proper conveniences, they keep the interior of their houses as clean as circumstances will let them it is quite an exception to meet with a dirty kept house. I remain, gentlemen, Yours obediently, "ED. EDWARDS." Mr. Edwards also enclosed letters from Captain Clegg, Craig Wen, and Messrs. Owen, shipbuilders, complaining of the nuisance, Mr. Pritchard (of the firm of Messrs. Dttvies) said the alleged nuisance was caused by the people of Menai Bridge themselves, who placed the obnoxious matter upon the beach.; by the'action of the tide the same matter was taken back and the effluvium spoken of en- gendered. Because people chose to throw dead animals upon the beach at Hirael, were the vessels there anchor- ed to he removed ? He thought not; however, he would see personally on an early day what could be done to re' move any nuisance which might be found to exist in con- sequence of their timber being placed on the beach.

T. Rogers, vice- chairmen Messrs. Win. Griffith, John Roberts, Evan Pugh Evans, George James, William Thomas, Richard Hughes, Bobert Evans, John Owen, Owen Owens, Hugh Roberts, Rd. Evans, and Wm. Williams. The Guardians, at their meeting held on Wednesday last, having instructed the Clerk to inquire of the Re- gistrar-Geueral, if the Registrar District, lately held by the late Mr. Wm Griffith, could be divided: The following letter was received in reply, viz. "General Register Office, 23 Nov. 1805. am directed by the Registrar-General to acknow- ledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, reporting the death of Mr. Griffith, Registrar of births and deaths for the Beaumaris Sub-district. With reference to the proposal of the Guardians to divide the district, I am to request that you will state to the Board that, however desirable such a change may be, it cannot be effected in the present state of the law, there being no statutory power given to the Registrar General, or to any other authority, under which an alteration in the Sub-districts, as at present constitut- ed, can be made. Forms are herewith enclosed for the appointment of a succes- sor to the late Mr. Griffith, and the Registrar General will urge upon the new Registrar the importance of a diligent attention to his duties to remove, as far as possible, the inconvenience of which you complain. "I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, K. EDWARDS, Secretary. "John Thomas, Esq., Clerk to tho Guardians, Bangor." As the district for registi-ittioij could not be divided, it appeared to the Guardians that, for the purpose of equalizing the salaries for the two Anglesey relieving districts, it was desirable that Mr. Daniel Jones, the re- lieving officer of the Anglesey district, No. 2, should be appointed Registrar of Births and Deaths, and three of the parishes of the other district added to his relief district; and on the motion of Mr. Simpson, seconded by Mr. W. T. Rogers, Mr. Jones was appointod accord- ingly, and the three parishes of Llanfairpwligwyngyll, Penmynydd, and Llanffinan were added. Instructions were given for advertising for applications to fill up the vacancy of the office of Relieving Officer of Anglesey District No. 1, as re-arranged, the election to take place on the 6th of December next. see advertise- ment in another column.

BAXGOR PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Tuesday last, before the Rev. T. N. Williams, aud Major Williams. Captain Ellis, Chief Constable, was likewise present. A Batch of Bacchanalians.—Edward Meshach, quarryman, was charged by P.S. Griffith Jones, with being drunk and disorderly, in High-street, Bethesda, on Sunday morning, the 12th iiist.the day following the pay day at Bethesda. The mother of the defendant appeared for him, and paid the fine-Is., and 9s. costs. Win. Griffith, of the parish of Llaullechid, was sum- moned for a similar offence, by P.S. Griffith Jones, for being drunk on the night of the 11th iust., at Bethesda. It appears that the accused, who is a young man, was found in the house of Mr. Griffith Jones, shop, in Bi- thesda—he evidently having obtained an entrance through a trap door; and when interrogated on the sub- ject, and as to what he wauted there 'he replied that he eatae to cara tipyn bach. He wait marched off to the lock-up; but on his being recegnised there, he was re- leased. He was both drunk and riotous. Fined for be- ing drunk Is., and the costs 9s. John Carlton, who said he was a cerdwainer, living in Bangor, w^s auminoned by P.C. Rd. Jones, (23), with being drunk at Bethesda, at a little after 11 o'clock, on the night of the 11th iust. The poliee officer said ke found him lying upon the street quite incapable of taking care of himself. Tne omnibus was going up the street at the time, and if he had not run to him and re- moved him, it must have gone over him. The defendant said he was not lying down as described by the policeman, but he fell down, as he admitted he was drunk. The fact was, he had gone from Bangor to Bethesda on business, and he had two or three glasses of ale, which turned in him What the policeman had said was quite true but as it was the first time he was ever in a court of justice, he hoped they would see it over with him. Major Williams-What are you, and where do you come from ? Defendant-I am a cordwainer (shoemiker), your Honour, and live in Bangor. I lived as a servant with your Honour for seven years. Major Williams-Lived with me for seven years ? Defendant- Yea, your Honour, for several years-five or six, in Bangor; and as I never was in a court of jus- tice before, I hope your Worships will look over it this time. Let off on paying the costs, 4s. fid. A man, who sports the name of William Meshach Jones, was summoned for being drunk in a public- house in Bethesda, at between 11 and 12 o'clock on the forenoon of Sunday, the 12th instant. The charge was proved by P.S. Griffith Jone3. The wife, who appeared in the place of the defendant, said that her husband followed her in the morning to the door of the chapel, and then he turned back. As this notable fact went but a little way to prove his sobriety, he was fiaed 5s. and the costs, 9s. David Jones was charged with a similar offence, com- mitted on the 12th inst., at Bethesda. P. C. Rd. Jones said the defendant was drunk, and was swearing and shouting about the street. Defendant's mother-in-law appeared,but said she Had nothing to say in his defence. Fined Is. and the costs, 9s. Another drunken fellow named Thomas Jones, was summoned by P.S. Griffith Jones for being drunk, and also with challenging to fight in High-yitreet, Bethesda, at half-past twelve o'clock on Sunday, the 5th inst. He was challenging a man to fight, who had to run away from him. They had to take him to his house by main force. Fined Is., and 9s. costs On the evidence of P.S. Davies, Hugh Williams was fined Is. and 9s. costs, for being drunk and disorderly in Bangor, on the 4th instant. He was in High-street making a great noise, and had stripped off his coat to fight. Neglecting to Maintain a Family. —Rd. Hughes, Well- street, Baujgpr, was in custody charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and three children, who had in consequence become chargeable to the Bangor and Beaumaris Union. Mr. Lewis Edwards, relieving-offlcer, stated that the wife and three children of the defendant had been 24 days in the Union Workhouse, they having entered the house on the 29th of October. The wife called upon him (the relieviug-officer), and stated that he had abused her, and he then gave her a ticket for the house. Mr. R. Owen, Master of the Workhouse, said that the defendant's .wife and three children had been in the House far 24 days-the average cost per diem of each being 41d., which, altogether, amounted to the sum of £ 1 18s. The Defendant said he was quite prepared to keep his wife and family. He did not send his wife from home, and when she left of her own accord, there was plenty of everything in the house for them and for him- self. He did not shut the door against her, and she could have returned home whenever she liked. The wife was then examined, and stated that her husband had abused her, and turned her out of the house, so that she had nowhere else to go to but to the Workhouse. The defendant was then told that he would have to pay £ 1 18s., and maintain his wife and family for the future. The Defendant-I am quite willing to maintain my wife if she behaved herself, which she doesn't. Major Williams-Hut you will have to maintain her whether she behaves herself or not. Case adjourned for a fortnight. Infringement of the Beer-house Act.—Mr. John Da- vies, who keeps the G lanrafon beer-house, Bethesda, was summoned by P.S. Griffith Jones with permitting drunkeuness in his house on the morning of Sunday, the 12th instant. He (the officer) visited the said beerhouse between 11 and 12 o'clock, when he found a man in the house drunk. When he asked the defendant why he allowed a drunken man to be in his house, he replied that he had had notl ing to driuk. He did not see any ale be- fore him. The man, who was drunk, was W. Meshach Jones, who had been fined that day for drunken- nuss. P.C. R. Jones heard defendant's wife telling him that Meshach had no ale in their house, but that she had given aglass of ale each to two men outsidethedoor. On theeon- trary, Meshach had told him, the police-officer, that all the ale he had had on that day was at the Glanrafon beerhouse. Case dismissed. Cruelty to Aiiirtals.-A- man named John Parry, of Bangor, was summoned by P.C. John Roberts (35) with cruelly ill-treating his horse, on the 14th instant, near to the Menai Bridge. This case adjourned, as Mr. Bulkeley Hughes had sent word to say that he wished to be present when the charge was heard. Charge of Assault in Bun!fOl')l:r William Williams and Mr. Hugh Williams, pigdsalers, Bangor, were sum- moned by Mr. John William Evans, a lessee of the Mar- ket Hall, for committing assault upon him in the said hall, on the 17th instant-it being the Bangor market day. Mr. W. Jones, Menai Bridge, appeared for the com- plainant, and Mr. J. T. Wiliiams, Carnarvon, for the defendants. Mr. W. Jones said that the defendants had three pens adjoining a yard in which the complainant was in the habit of weighing fat pigs, and the defendants bad been in the habit of annoying Mr. Evans by throwing the pigs over the railings of T.he pens into the yard, and in other ways acting as if they wished to be considered the masters of the hall. His client had given permission to the defendants to erect these pens, but only until the place was wanted, and he bad given notice to them to have them removed some time ago. On the day in question, Mr. Hughes, pork-dealer, Bangor, bad two fat pigs to be weighed in defendants' yard, when, as usual, they threw some pigs over the railing into the yard, when they had no right to the yard at all, nor yet to the pens. On Mr. Evans leaving, he went at once towards the yard, but was met by the defendant, William Williams, who hit him, and pushed him against a wall; and then the defendant Hugh Williams came up and almost throttled him. The complainant had not brought the case before the Beuch from vindictive motives, but to show them that they could not be masters of the Mar- ket Hall. Mr. Jones then went on to say that the de- fendants could have been proceeded against under the 19th section of the Bye-laws of the Market Hall (said section read), but he had not been consulted until Saturday, and they were only charged with an assault. The complainant, Mr. Evans. then gave his evidence, and corroborated, in detail, the statements made by Mr. Jones. In cross-examination by Mr. J. T. Williams, Mr. Evans admitted that when he was going into the weigh- ing place he found it was likely, Mr. W. Williams thought, he was going to turn his pigs out. He also said there were rails to prevent the store pigs going in amongst the fat pigs. Mr. Williams tried to stop him going into his own place, and met him with his fist." Oil Mr. Williams asking the witness how lie "metbim," the latter said, How did he act ? Perhaps you will not like me to show you how he acted He did not, he continued, know what might have happened if Mr. H ughos had not been present. Mr. Wm. Hughes detailed the assault, saying that Wm. Williams shoved the complainant against the wall, and then Hugh Williams scuffled with him and took hold of him by the neckerchiej. Mr. J. T. Williams, for the defence (neither of the defendants appeared in court personally), submitted that no assault had beeu proved against the defendant Wm. Williams, and only a very simple one against Hugh Wil- iams, although from the opening address of his friend Mr. Jones, he thought that a very serious assault had been committed. The fact was, the complainant had taken down three pens which had been put up by his elients, as the former hadadmitted he took the last piece of them away ht week. Mr. Evans said the pens were only put up for a tem- porary purpose, and until the place was wanted for some- thing, and he had given them notice, some time ago, to remove them. The Bench considered the charge as proved, and fined the defendants, each, 5s., the united costs being 15s. 6d. Stealing Flttnnel-Ba)-efaced Pobbery.-A seedy-look- ing Patlander, who gave his name all John Sparkes, but who doubtless can boast of a number of aliases, was brought up, on remand, charged with stealing a roll of flannel from the shop front of Mr. Thomas, London House, High-street, Bangor. The first witness called was Mary Abraham, who lives in Well-street, who deposed as follows :—1 remember Friday, the 10th inst. When I was coming from mar- ket, between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning, when, as I was by the corner of Well-street, I saw the prisoner on the other side of the street, opposite London H*use. He then walked across the street and took a piece of flannel that was in front of the shop, put it un- der his arm, and then run away as fast as he could. I scarcely knew what to do for a moment; but I went to the sop door and told them that a man had run away with some flannel, and then went after him to the churchyard. He took the flannel oft' the rails in front of tile all:)P-olit.Si(le. The prisoner said—I do not know the woman; she never never saw me at all-at all. P.C. Daniel Turrell (3) said- About 20 minutes to 11 o'clock, on Friday, the 10th inst., I was on duty in High- street, when I heard some boys calling out "catch thief! catch thief." I saw the accused running towards the Cathedral, with a roll of flannel under his arm, when I apprehended him, but said nothing to him. P.C. John Jones, keeper of the Lock-up.—I took the flannel from the prisoner, and have kept it in the lock-up ever since. I had received information from Mr. John Prichard, who is employed in Mr. Thomas's shop, that they had lost a roll of flannel from the front of the shop, and also that the prisoner had gone down with it towards the Penrhyn Hall. I then went towards there as fast as I could. "I iliet the prisoner in charge of police-officer Turrell. The roll produced is the same as I took from the accused. Mr. John Thomas deposed as follows :—I am a draper and keep a shop in Bangor. The flannel produced by the last witness is my property. I can swear to it by the ticket which is attached to it. It was not marked with my private mark because it had only arrived from London the night previously. The cost value of it in the invoice, exclusive of carriage, &c., is £3 3s. 3d. By the Prisoner—No, I did not see you taking it. If I had, you would not have gone quite so far.- (Laughter.) The Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and said he would swear he knew nothing at all about it, and did not take nor steal it. Committed to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions. Another Vharge against the same Prisoner.-The pri- soner was then charged with stealing a roll of winsey from the same shop on the evening of the 9th inst.,— the prisoner, having, it would seem, turned informer against himself! The first witness called was, P.C. John Jones, who said:—I took the prisoner Sparkes into custody on the 10th inst., on a charge of stealing a roll of flannel. About 6 o'clock in the evening of the same day I was removing him from one cell to another, when he voluntarily made a statement that he had stolen a piece of cloth from the same shop on the previous night. He told me he had hidden it by a wall which was being pulled down at the entrance to the new Church (St. Mary's) and that some stones were placed over it. I then went down there in company with Mr. Thomas's assistant, and we found it in the spot so ex- actly described by the accused. It was not cloth but a piece of winsey. The Bench—Winsey ? Linsey you must mean. Mr. Thomas—No, your Worships, it is called winsey, and it is made into ladies' dresses. P.C. Jones continued—I took it to Mr. Thomas's shop to be measured, and it is 14t yards. The Prisoner—I know nothing at all about it! (Much laughter.) Mr. Thomas then identified it as being his property, and it was worth Is. 6d. per yard. He knew it by a pri- vate mark. He did not miss it at all; but he remembered that on the evening named (that is the 9th inst.) they were carrying some things into the shop, and the piece of winsey may have been left at the door. It was not put out in front of the shop as was the flannel. The prisoner was then committed on this charge likewise.

REJOICINGS ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE I EARL OF DUDLEY TO MISS MONCRIEFFE. On the 21 st inst., the people of Llandrillo and Llan- dderfel gave themselves up to rejoicings in honour of the above event, which took place on the above day, at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, London. The young bride is the daughter of Sir Robert Moncrieffe, and sister to the Duchess of Athole. A committee was formed to carry out the day's rejoicings, consisting of Henry Ro- bertson, Esq., chairman; Rev. John Williams, treasurer; Mr. John Jones, liecretary; and Messrs Roberts, Branas; Wynne, Dudley Arms; Parry, Crogen; Boden, Dolgad- fa; Jones, Garthiaen; Jarrett, Plasvnfaerdref; Pritch- ard, Plasyndinam; Jones, Brynmelyn. There was a double collection made on the oceasion. Upwards of £65 were subscribed in connection with his Lordship's English tenants, towards presenting the Countess with portrait of her noble husband; and about t22 were collected towards carrying on the day's festivity. The children of the parish and neighbourhood formed toge- ther, marched through the street, headed by the Corwen brass band, who played excellent tunes. Several flags were hoisted in various parts of the village. There was no lack in earring on the rejoicings here, tea and coals were distributed among the poor, under the management of the Hev. Jno. Jones, Rectory, Messrs. J. Jones, Penybont, H. Thomas, draper, Jno. Jones, draper, and Jno. Jones, factory. The ladies who assisted at the tea were-Alisses Williams, FronheLilog, AIN. and Miss Jones, Rectory, Miss Heid, Pale, &c. The school children and others, at Llandrillo walked in procession, headed by the betore named band to the Vicarage and retame& to the Union School, where they partook of tea and buns, about 3U0 in number, under the superintendance of Mrs. Jones, Branas, and Mrs. Williams, Tvnycoed, assisted by Misses hvans. Hendwr, Miss Roberts,Branas, Miss White, Rhydyglaves, Miss Jones, Cilan, Miss Boden, Dolgadfa; Mi" Hughes, Tynewydd Miss Owens, Crosn Foxes Miss Jones, Poqt-office, &e. kt the same time- tea, in iii). packets, was distributed to the poor, under the management of Mrs. Kobevts, nranas, and Mrø. Jones, Garthiaen, to 91 families; in itdllitioll to which •r) tons of coal was atso divided into 2 ewta each to a number of the poorest of the above. After the School- room was cleared, dancing commenced, which was kept up in good style until a late hour. A first«cla«s dinner, to which about 84 gentlemen sat down, took pheeatthe Dudley Arms., After the cloth was removed, Henry Robertson, E'I]" took the chair, and Mr. Thomas Jones, Hrynmelyn, the vice-chair. The room was beautifully decorated, expressive of good wishes to the House of Dudley. The Chairman, after proposing the usual loyal and other toasts, gave the health of the Karl and Countess of Dudley," which was vociferously responded t.n. Mr. White proposed, The Tenants of the Earl of Dudley," coupled with the name of the oldest tenant, Mr P. Wynne. Mr. Wynne most feelingly and jocuously returned thanks. The Rev. John Wynne proposed "the worthy Chair- man's health." Mr. Robertson stood up, and in a fluent manner re- turned thanks. Di. Robertson proposed "Success to Agriculture," coupled with the name of Mr. Jones, Brynmelyn, which Mr. J ones acknowledged. Song, by Mr. W. T. Evans, specially composed for the occasion. By the Vice-" The Railway interest." Mr. Reid Pale returned thanks. Then followed 11 Friends and Visitors," coupled with the name of Mr. R .bet,ts, Severn Hall; The Ladies," coupled with the name of Mr. Roberts, Tyfos; and "All friends around Berwyn." The company then retired, highly pleased at the fes- tivities. Three large bonfires were lit on the hills, one by Cro- gen, one by Llandrillo, the other on Caderfronwen, which might be from most counties of North Wales, Salop, an.-l Worcestershire. The village was illuminated; alJvil cannon echoing, and the bells chiming. A grand display of fireworks ended the day, under the manage- ment of Mr. E. Jarrett.

LLANGEFNI. THE CONTEMPLATED NEW CEMETERY OR BURIAL GROUND. We feel happy to state that, at last, an effectual mea- ure has been adoptcd in furtherance of the above move- ment, and that the Warlll and earnest feelings shewn in favour of the said object augurs well that this desidera- tum, which, for many years past, has been deeply felt by the parishioners, will be speedily supplied. On Friday, the 17th instant, a kind of preliminary vestry was convened, in order to give the ratepayers an opportunity of expressing their opinions on the subject. The vestry was very numerously and respectedly atten- ded, and was presided over by the Rev. Henry Owen, ,the esteemed rector. Mr. Owen, in his opening address, remarked that he had a subject of some importance to bring before the vestry, as, under the most favourable circumstances, considerable expense must be entailed upon the parish— he alluded to the necessity for an additional burial ground. There were three ways in which this want ■ might be supplied; first, by securing a piece of ground so near to the present churchyard that the existing church would be available; secondly, by the formation of a cemetery iu connection with the church; and thirdly, by means of a kind of double cemetery—one portion being consecrated according to the rites of the Church of Eugladd, and the other unconsecrated for the use of the dissenting parishioners. The first plan, would, of course, involve but little comparative expense;. the second would require the erection of a chapel on the ground; and the third a chapel on each portion-one for Churchmen and the other for Dissenters. Had the first been practicable, he (Mr. Owen), thought there might have been an unanimous vote in its favour, as he was sure the iJissenters bad no reason to complain, as they were always treated with the same consideration and fair play as the Church people. But as there ap- peared to be no land available for this, the vestry must choose between the two other plans. The rev. gentle- man here at some length explained the Act of Parlia- ment on the subject, and further remarked that a burial board of not less than three or more than nine would have to be appointed by the vestry. This board would have to appoint a salaried clerk, and other officers, to provide the ground and prepare the cemetery, and to arrange the ditferent fees. He also explained that there was a provision for borrowing the money, to be paid off by instalments in twenty years. The Rev. James Donue next addressed the meeting, at some length, and remerked that he and the denomi- nation (Calvinistic) he was connected with were decided- ly in favour of the double cemetery;" and concluded by expressing his sincerest thanks to Mr. Owen for the kind, clear, and temperate manner he introduced the subject before them. (Cheers.) Mr. Dew then addressed the meeting, and said that the present movement had much, if not more, to do. with the future generation as it has with the present. The great kindness, consideration, and courtesy the Dis- senters on all occasions received from Mr. Owen and his currtes were, perhaps, to be attributed to the njeek and Christian disposition of those respected gentlemen,. than to the power vested iu them to conduct themselves towards Dissenters in a different and contraiy manner if so disposed; and the courtesy always shewn by those gentlemen yvas no guarantee that our successors would be so treated by their successors. Consequently, with due respect, he would remind the vestry that in further- ing and discussing the present movement they should bear in mind that they had more to deal with systems aud principles than with men and women; and he must say he was in favovr of the joint cemetry. Mr. Dew concluded by briefly complimenting Mr. Owen upon the clear and temperate manner he treated the subject and hoped that the good feelings now existing would always pervade their meetings. Mr. Edward Thomas stated that he and the generali- ty of the denomination (Wesleyan) was in favour of the joint cemeteiy. The Chairman regretted there was no one present to represent the Baptist and Independent denomina- tions. Some members objected to this as involving unnecessary expence; bu t as t he chairman did not encourage this opposi- tion an unanimous vote was eventually given in favour ef a L joint cemetry, and a resolution unanimously passed that the Chairman should respectfully solicit Sir Richard Bulke ley, with his usual generosity and liberality, to accom- modate the parish with a piece of land suitable for the purpose. We heartily wish the movement success, and hope that the first grave dug in the ground of the joint cemetry will be for the green monster of religious ran- cour, and that he will receive the rites of a Saducitical burial!

The Times publishes the memorial addressed to the British Government by London merchants in relation to the proceedings of the Spanish Admiral at Valpa- raiso. The death is announced of Lieutenant-Colonel Glen- cairn Burns, the youngest son of the poet, which took place at Cheltenham, on Saturday, from the results of an accident. Colonel Burns, was in his seventy-second year. The Bishop of Manchester has licensed the Rev. Henry Wescoe, licentiate in theology of the University of Dur- ham, formerly curate of St. Paul's, Huddersfield, to the incumbency of the new church of St. Thomas, Black- burn, on the nomination of the Rev. Dr. Rushton, vicar of Blackburn. HOMOEOPATHY AND THD CATTLE DISEASE.-A number of gentlemen, among whom are Mr. James Gaird, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Bury, Lord Eleho, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Richmond, and others, have formed an association for the trial and pre- ventive treatment of the cattle plague by the homoeopa- thic method. ANOTHER HUMAN SACRIFICE TO CRINOLINE.-Miss. Cheesewright, residing with her mother at Hackney- wick, and who was about to be married, passed near the fireplace on Tuesday evening, and her crinoline caught fire. In an instant she was enveloped in flames, and in spite of the exertions of her betrothed and her mother, t was some time before her blazing garments could be ixtinguished. Her injuries were so severe as to cause her death after dreadful sufferings.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. I The Queen still remains very quiet at Windsor Calltle, where she held a Privy Council on Monday last. Thursday was the birtli-day of the Princess Royal who, with her liusbaud, the Crown Prince of Prussia, is on a visit at the Castle. The occa- sion was commemorated by feasting and dissolving- views entertainments, and there was a large party at the Castle in the evening. Matters do not go on smoothly for Spain, in the matter of Chili. America is said to be indignant at the aggression, and ships of war are being des- patched to the Pacific, in addition to the respect- able force already there. On Friday, the mer- chants of Liverpool met to protest against the blockade, and to petition our Government to in- terfere and on Saturday morning a deputation waited upon Lord Clarendon, the result being quite satisfactory to the "merchant Princes "of Li- verpool. On the same day, Lord Clarendon des- patched a special messenger to Madrid and the London correspondent of the Independance Beige is of opinion that Lord Clarendon has expressed himself very strongly with regard to the Spa- nish outrage, and that he has warned Spain that the weak will not remain without assistance from countries as strong and even stronger than Spain, if she does not at once raise the blockade, and act with more moderation towards Chili. The same authority believes that the French Government have sent, or will send an equally urgent note to Madrid and likewise that the United States will send a strong naval force to Valparaiso. This is as it should be for it is now uite clear, that, coward as Spain is in Europe, she wishes to play the braggart with the small States of South America, by which she thinks she can gratify her pride and fill her purse at the BMue time. The excitement caused in Dublin by the garri- soning of Pigeon Fort has been very great, and we do not wonder at it. The fort is not much in itself, but it commands the Bay of Dublin, and that makes it of importance. A hundred men and officers were sent to the work on Saturday, and more troops were despatched thither on Mon- day, whilst all civilians who have not an official pass, are rigidly excluded. The five Bishops of New Zealand have sent a memorial to the Queen, in which they complain of the unsatisfactory condition they have been placed by the decision on the Colenso case. They state the circumstances which led to the forma- tion of the different bishoprics, and maintain that as they were founded by private efforts and en- dowed by private chanty, the right of ap irit- ment is not a part of the prerogative of the Crown. They pray that all doubt may be re- moved as to their ecclesiastical status by the ac- ceptance of the surrender of their letters patent, which by the Colenso judgment were made null and void by declaring the royal mandate which ordered their consecration to have no further ef- fect and by recognising the right of the Bishops of New Zealand to fill up vacancies in their own order. In short, the Bishops of New Zealand ask for a total separation from the State, and for a self-elected Episcopacy, and we fancy they will not succeed in obtaining either. The Government has appointed Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Secretary for Ireland, in the room of Sir Robert Peel, and the change has been receiv- ed with much satisfaction in England, and posi- tive enthusiasm in Ireland, as Mr. Fortescue is an Irishman, and personally is very popular. Mr. Goschea, the member for London, and who is a rapidly-rising politician of moderate Liberal views, has replaced Mr. Hutt, as Vice-Pesident of the Board of Trade, and it is believed he will be a useful and valuable acquisition to the Ministry. The Times, for a wonder, highly approves of these changes. There is likely to be further minor changes in the constitution of the Government. The death of Vice-Admiral Sir Horatio Austin advances Rear-Admiral Sir Sydney Dacres, Commander of the Channel Fleet, to the list of Vice-Admirals his command will then be vacated, and will be conferred upon Rear-Admiral Drummond, one of the Lords of the Admiralty. This change will cause a vacancy at Whitehall. It is stated that a new encyclical letter is ex- pected to appear next month, convoking at Rome in the year 1866, all the Roman Catholic Bishops in the world, to celebrate the eighteenth century of the death of St. Peter. Is St. Paul alto- gether tabooed at the Vatican ?—The Czar has just carried out an important reform, *by the reconstruction of the Courts of Justice, and the appointment of trial by jury. This is one of the most satisfactory of Alexander's reforms; and it is even thought by some that he will, ere long grant a constitution and representative insti- tutions. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has just ap- pointed a Commission to consider the subject of the Cattle Plague. Amongst the commissioners selected is the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who is a candidate for an aldermanship that has become vacant, and the question is raised if his lordship should be defeated, will he still be eligible to serve as Mayor and on the Commission. The Shenandoah left the Mersey on Tuesday last, for America, so we presume we shall not be troubled with her again.-Advices from New York report that Captain Wirtz has been hanged; and the President has formally announced that the passage of the constitutional amendment is necessary for the full restoration of the Southern States to the Union. The reconstruction stilJ; continues in the usual manner. —All parties in the States appear to have been offended with England! by reason of our policy during the late civil war j —North and South alike. It is a pity we did not join France in raising the blockade and in recog- nising the South. We should then have divided into two or three parts this wasp's lie-it.-Tii(, present troubled state of Europe has evidently frightened Russia for, according to the Pall Ma'l Gazette the greatest activity is observable ill all the naval and military departments. The im- perial Princes have been travelling al over the empire, reviewing troops, examining fortifications, &c., and the army is put in constant motion at an enormous cost. These movements and prepara- tions must mean something, but what, is a mys- tery.— Victor Emmanuel created a great sensation the other day at Naples. In reply to an address to the working men, he is reported to have said, My friends, I accept your good wishes. As to the national work, I will finish it myself, or will lose my good name. We are on the road to Rome. As for Venice, we must have money and blood. You, as well as I, know how to give both 1" What will Austria and France think of this bit of plucky fanfaronade I Fenianism is said to be now dying out in Ame- rica. According to the "Centres" there, the battle is to be fought in Ireland and not in Cana- da. Who knows but that a detachment lias been already despatched to attack Dublin, and liberate the imprisoned Fenians. It is certain our Go- vernment entertains some notion of the kind or the aai-risoiiing of Pigeon Fort is a piece of arrant folly. Time will will show. Rumours are still floating about, in political circles, as to the Ministerial appointments. Fri- day's (yesterday's) papers state that the post of Un- der Secretary for the Colonies, vacant by the ap- pointment of Mr. Fortesque, has been offered and accepted by Mr. Foster, one of the leading men of the Radicals, and second only to Mr. Bright. It is rumoured that Lord Clarence Paget will retire from the Secretaryship to the Admiralty, and that he will take a command instead. If Mr. Foster has really accepted office, it demonstrates that the ministry have decided to bring in a measure of Reform, and probably a comprehen- sive one. "Reform" meetings are now being held in several parts of the country, and on Wed- nesday evening last there was one at Bradford.

CORRESPONDENCE. ONE WHO KNOWS." -We insert the following note from this correspondent, and we hope then we shall havp settled this knotty" matter:- A mistake has oc- curred in your notice respecting the ownership of Plas Llauidan. It should not have stated the" late" Lord Boston but the then" Lord. It was during the life- time of the great-grandfather and grandfather of the present Lord that Mr. Thomas Williams resided there."

Edwards, B. Littler, Wm. Parry, Thos. Pierce, and Wm. Morris. The proceed- ings were void of interest to our readers. The Medical iLgi8itf Committee sat at 12 o'clock, and after some con- sideration, they notified that they should submit to the next Board a few amendments concerning the mode and place of disposing with tke medicines for the use of the poor.
