SELLING BREAD BY WEIGHT. Sir,-From your report of our Comuussioneis meet- ing, I think the ratepayers, especially large consumers of bread, have greatly to thank you and TA". Chapmau for briuging the question of selling the staft of life" by weight, before the public. It is a pity thread Act was not incorporated with the Llandudno Act ot 185,1. By the 6th and 7 th William IV, chap, 37, it is enacted that bakers or sellers of bread, selling bread in any other manuer than by weight, a penalty, not exceeding forty shillings or, using auy other than avordupois weight, and the several gradations thereof-a penaitv not ex- ceeding five pounds, nor less than forty shillings (sec. ó); or neglecting to fix in some conspicuous part of his shop. on or near the counter, a beam and scales, with proper weights, or other sufficient bala: ce; or to provide and keep for use proper beam and scales, aud proper weights or balances, in order that all bread there sold may be weighed in the presence of the purchaser or having or using any incorrect or false beam or scales or balance, or any false weight—a penalty not exceeding five pounds or for refusing to weigh, subject to the like, pe- Dalty," "?w, Sir, with sue? an Act as this in existence, and being in operation in most towns in Kngutul, I alll surprised it has not been enforced before. I am gLd to find that magistrates, in Petty Sessions, have ordered .the police to carry out the Act, and I hope the bakers of Llaududuo, who are au enterprising and respectable class of men, will, with a good grace, adopt the Aa and QAt an cYamtilft to this locality.

WANTED—A FIRE ENGINE FOR BANGOR. Sir, Kor a town "f its bizo and antiquity, iScingjr, certainly can boast of a great number of wants; but pwhaps the most pressing of them all, and the effect of which may be experienced any day by an enormous too of property, is that of a Fire Engine. Self-preservation is said to be the firat law of nature, but in this niarter we, in B»ngor. appear to hold quite It contrary opinion-that is collectively, and not as in- dividual townsmen. It is not that we do not see our danger, or that we undervalue it, in theory but some- how from an absence of combination, no practical re- sult is ever arrived at. Speak to any one individual, and he will at once candidly And freely admit that a* Fire Engine is imperatively required; tht a tire is as likely to break out in Bangor as iu any other place, and that one fire may cause more damage than the money- value of half a dozen engines. He would, too, very likely remark on the possession of such a useful piece of ma- chinery by such towns as Carnarvon, Beaumaris, Rhyl. Denbigh, &c whilst the Cathedral city is content to trust its property to the protection of a paltry kose kept at the office IIi the Local Government Bofl-d; whilst the key of the Water Works, which alone could Tender the said hoae available when required, is kept at the office of the Water Woiks Company. All this would be admittted aud deplored, but there the matter would be allowed to drop. Were the Cathedral to be burst down, or the Palace, or half High-street, probably a Fire Engine may be then within the range (of poimibil- ities. Until then we seem contented to depend upon the generosity of Col. Pennant, who has procured one for his own use at Peitrhyn Castle, and who very kindly allows us to borrow it iu cases of emergency. One would think that this was a matter which fell witkin the province of the Local Beard of Health, and which Board is stated to possess within itself all the talents of the towu but I suppose it it not so, or otherwise we surely should have had an engine some years ago. The Press, in former times, did its duty by talling attention to the matter, and the subject has been evon broached in the sanctum sanctorum of our Local Parliament itself, but nothing has come of it. We still remain without a Fire Engine, and are content with out solitary hose, and to depend upon Col. Pennant, tke chapter of accidents, or anything, or anybody,rather tk,%u purchase i lie. Yet we Baugoriaus, are not a little proud in our own way, and can look down from our Cathedral height upon othir towns not so "bleMed as ourselves. We are even making all effort to obtain a railway all to our- selves, which I presume will have a station of iti own. Pity that we do not provide means to extinguish a tire at such Station, should one ever be built, aud prevent it sharing the sad fate of that at Llanfair, the other day. A fire (ii I break out on Monday last, in » tradesman s shop in High-street; luckily it was subdued before any great amount of mischief was done, as fortunately it was instautlv discovered. Had this not been the case, it is probable that seme four or five adjoining shops would have been gutted and destroyed, which would have been a calamity too serious for even solemn joking, ft is satisfactory to know that the lic)se" was promptly on the spot, rjadv to combat the destructive element, and to throw All the cold water in its power on its lien- ditary and fiery opponent. I am penning this lettei-, Mr. Editor, simply for my own auitlfttlle ut, and to while away a dull ualt-houi during these foggy November evenings, and not with the rem teat anticipation that it will induce the Local Board, or any other public body-it' such there be-to move in this matter. I know the world and mankind too well for that. Representative men can afford to sneer at the effusions of those low and anllllYlllonii scribblers in news|«apers," and they may probably ex- press some astonishment at i/otir giving insertion to such vulgar rubbish." Be it so—the inhabitants of Ban- gor must decide for themselves but in my opinion they could not do bettrrthan to provide effectual means to check, when the emergency aiises, the spread of the most uncontrollable, terrible, and destructive of all na- tural elematitc. —Yours, &c. < BANU01UAN.

ADEn: FIDELIS. gjr I ani <rry to filld that my letter respecting the translation of Adeste Fiflelei, iu the Bangor Hymn Book, has thrown N,otil, cur, B."inlo a temper •which ill becomes one w ho writes on the subject of hymns used in the services of our Church. If he had not lost his teii)l)ei, ht, ,ul,l iiut P(ls,-ibly have fotiti,l ii, my letter au attack," merited or uniiierit-d," upon the book in question. I Illa(le no attack upon it. I simply complained of the translation of one of its hymns, as being so "stiff and faulty in accent that it was almost impossible for country congregations to sing it; and, whibt wumittiug some alterat.o? ill the \'ersioll, ugge"ted that our Welsh bards should favour us with a ntto metrical translation which could be bring bv (,ltl- country congregations. I am glad to find that B." ill fria letter lias confirmed all I said about the iiangor H ymll Book translation, by telling us that it is not the bar, and that in singing the veiv.es, it 1* lic- r"e to report to such contrivances as adding a note"in some lines," phthllg a nllgle U'Jtp in others lurrins" two or more notes 111 others, &c., &c., and ,??.r correspondent adds"and these variations arc ,?,.<'f? /.eaM</« (!) by < ??? Upmnutoghtie" ■' This is rather new. Perhap it is thebpnnologistic notion of Young Wales" mentioned by your correspondent. What will country choirs and country congregations, and the clergy who strive so hard to have congregational singing in their churches, think of all these variations and contrivances, so highly approved of by one who probably was a member of the Committee who compiled the Bangor Hyurn Book? Where is the country con- gregation that can sing the hymn in question with all the adding" ,tii(I splitting" -,ilid "slurring" of notes, as explained by B." not to say anything of varied accent ?" Let us now examine vour correspondent's cri.ti.ci.sms. He finds fault with the line, Oil yn orfoleddus, m my version, because the word "oil" is not in the original. I appeal to your impartial readers whether my ver- sion does not represent the Latiu words in accent and spirit. Lteti triuinphantes. Oil yn orfoleddus. lIfy opponent's criticism on the line, "Llewyrch pur o Lewvreh," is puerile, and shows that he is determined to find fault with every word that is not to be found in his favourite version which he seems to consider so per- fect that it cannot be improved. So one, I believe, except your learned correspondent B." would ever have thought that Llewyrch pur o Lewyrch" implied that "the son was pure Light and the Father Light less pure." With as much reason might lie say that in the English version which he sent you, the words Light of Light eternal," implied that the Father was Light but ti. t the son was Light not eternal. Will any one who understands music and versification say that the words Llewyrch I)i,r o Lewyrch" do not suit the metre ? Let Welsh grammarians also say whether the line clod a gogoniant," is not right as I have writ- ten it. Like the corresponding line in the Baugor Hymn Book, it is a quotation which our critic has failed to per- ceive, because the inverted commas, I presume, were not added, forgetting that in the Bangor and other Hymn Books, most of the Scripture quotations are without these cotiimaf. If" B," is right in his criticism, the liue "Gogoniant i Dduw" in the Bangor Hymn Book is wrolJg-it ought to have L)eeii og,)iii 'Illt"' tc. Hut I believe all who have studied Welsh will agree that both lines are correct as they are, i.e. as far as the first letter in each word is coneerljed-clod, not glod gogoniant, not ogoniant. It is, however, almost impossible to sing the line as it is in the Bangor Hymn Book 011 account of the wrong accent. The words" Barch am byth," 3vliieb B." attributes to me, are not in my version. Where did he get them ? As he does say what fault he finds with the line" Duw yn y cUilwd yw," I have oulv to add that it suits the metre. At the beginning of his letter, B." presumes to give advice to all your correspondents, for which, perhaps, they will consider there was no necessity, and I hope he will not take offence if I venture to return the compli- ment by advising him to study the last edition of that excellent book, Rowlands's Welsh Grammar, and to II make himself tolerably acquainted with the pros and cons of the subjects on which he writes before be rashly condemns what, it may be presumed, he does not fully understand." Before I conclude, allow me agaiu to express a hope that Xioander or some other "Welsh bard will publish a new metrical version of the hymu in question. CERDDOR. P.S.—I have omitted noticing two things in B 's letter. What is wrong in the line, "Mab y Bendigedig," he does not venture to say. I will, therefore proceed to the word, Haleliwii," which, he intimates, ought to have been Haleliwiah," i. e., with the letter H" at the end. He asks, Has your correspondent read of Him whose name is Jah '?" Yes; and I find it neces. sary to enlighten "B" with regard to the word Jah." According to Gesenius, it is an abbreviation of the word Jehovah," and I must tell your correspondent that this latter word in many Latiu traiislation8 is Jova," Jehova," or "Jehovah." I have now two Latin ver- sions of the Old Testament before me. One version has Se(I ubi vitlit Jova eum," &c., in Ex. 3.4., and in ver. 7, Jova sic loquitur." The other version has, Et vidit Jehova quod diverteret," &c., and (ver. 7) e( dixit Jehovah." Jah is often found in conjunction with Hallelu," forming the word Hallelujah," which, in the Greek Testament, Rev. 19. 1, 8, 4, 6, is "Attetoula." The Ant/link Testament has "Alleluia, and the Welsh Testament, "Aleliuia," in these places In many Welsh hymn and other books, wefind "Haleluiah," "Haleliwiah," Haleliwia," "Aleluiab," "Aleluia," Ac. There is no uniformity with regard to this word, even in the Bangor Hymn Book. In one place it is Haleluiah," in ano- ther, "Aleluia." The latter is not according to the Greek iu llev. 19. 1, &c. It is now quite clear that our learned critic stands greatly in need of the advice which he givos to your correspondents.—C.

SIR RICHARD BULKELEY AT THE BEAUMA- RIS TOWN COUNCIL. Sir,—The scurrilous observations which appeared in the columns of your last impression, bearing the fictitious name of a "A Looker-On," and relating to a late meet- ing of the Beaumaris Town Council which was faithfully reported in the NORTH WALES CHHOKICLE, ought not to be allowed to pass by unnoticed. I am at a loss to know what phrenological developemeut reigned supreme in your correspondent's miud, when he undertook the un- enviable task of writing such an ill-disposed and errone- ous letter. It seems as if his passionate malignity to- wards Sir Richard Bulkeley and the cause lie espouses, had entered into competition within the region of his frantic brain with the low buffoonery he so lavishly indulges in. I beg to state at the commencement of this communi- cation that I do not aspire to the honour of appearing as an apologist for the hou. bart.,—he needs not my humble defence. But as an inhabitant of the town of Beaumaris, and being in a measure interested in the venomous insinuations made by your correspondent, I feel compelled to make the following remarks. I fully concur with what Sir ltichard said concerning the oath 'imposed upon our Municipal Corporation, who are one and all members of the Church of England. These religious tests are gradually becoming obsolete in the great councils of the nation, and it remains only a question of time with regard to the removal of all such obnoxious and meaningless subscriptions. They are a few of the remaining relics of an age gone by, and similar to their authors they must also ere long vanish away. What does your correspondent mean when he says, that there are members of the 13eaumaris Town Council who, if they are members of the Church of England, are also, members of other denominations supporting very con- trary opinions to those maintained by the Church of England." This sentence appears to me to be so devoid ofauy logical meaning as doesthemunicipal oath which he attempts to defend. What ? Members of the Church of England and members of other denominations" at the same time ? Surely that cannot be. Has your cor- respondent ever read and inwardly digested that passage of Holy Writ where it is said Ye cannot serve God and Mammon ?" What? Upholding the Church of England and subverting it by the same acts ? What sheer tioi)setj.,e! And your correspondent has the effron- tery to add, that it is a well known fact to the inhabit- ants of Beaumaris" that there are persons of this descrip- tion members of the Town Council. I happen to know each member of the Council, and can positively avow that your correspondent's statement is an entire fabrica- tion invented for some sinister purpose better lnovi n to himself. What must the upright and honest members of our Town Council think of such a person, who, under the cover of a fictitious name appears before the public to question their integrity Your correspondent thinks very higliln. the declara- tory clause in the municipal oath, which li the mem- bers of the Council to do nothing to sui > t the Esta- blished Church." Now, I should like t, .,now what power can be invested iu the Beaumaris Town Council as « corporate body either to uphold or subvert the Esta- blished Church ? Can they forcibly close the Church doore ? Have they power to deprive the worthy Rector of his stipend ? Can they order and regulate the ser- vices of the Church ? I answer, No. And on the other hand can they suppress dissenting place of worship? Or compel non-conformists to attend the services of the C ilttt-cli ? Or burn heretical dissenters on Beaumaris Cross No, they can do neither. Yet, ill their indi- vidual capacities they may be intlueiitial in doing much in the way of upholding the one, and suppressing the other. Consequently, in our t imes the absurdity of this declaratory clause appears plain, and especially so where the Council is constituted of members of the Establish- ment. And In fact were they all infidels in heart, they durst not meddle authoritatively with any religious com- munity as such. Towards the close of his letter, your correspondent arrives at the point which it is obvious lie has in view throughout his communication, \ithe present flourish- ing Parochial School at Beaumaris. Here he is in search of poison to apply to the dart which he covertly aims at Sir Richard Bulkeley. He says, in 1815, commodious Xatioual School-rooms were erected in that beautiful little town, which, for .15 years was vigorously con- ducted by Air. Holmes." But Jiere Sir, hes the sting, at the end of this time, however, )1r Hoiines, on ac- count of old age, resigned when the inhabitants were suddenly alarmed with the intelligence, that a local gen- tleman had determined to convert, the National Schools to one conducted under the parochial system. The 45 years referred to by your correspondent was the duration of the rci[ln of terror at the scholastic institute in Steeple Lime, Beaumaris.. The period will not soon be erased from the memory of those who from time to time were educated there. High-churchism was in the ascendancy in those days with regard to the tuition, and discipline of the school. The Church Catechism aii(I otlier for mulas of the Church were thrust involuntarily down the throats of the hapless youths who were educated there, and many a child of dissenting parents was un- mercifully flogged on a Monday morning for no other cause than that of attending a dissenting place of wor- ship with his parents the previous Sabbath evening Your correspondent adds, that a local gentleman had determined to convert the National Schools to one con- ducted under the parochial system." Now, this "local gentleman" I presume was Sir Richard Bulkeley, the owner of the said properly, and who had the power of appropriating the building to what purposes he pleased. And Sir Richard, over true to the liberal principles, which have characterised his private and public life, transferred the Schools to the care and management of-a Select Committee of the Beaumaris Town Council, to be conducted in future on the principle of a free school, in- dependently of any religious creed whatsoever. But your correspondent wishes to construe this noble and ge- nerous act, as an attempt to subvert the Church of En- gland What next ?  It seems that A Looker-Ou" has been displeased aith some observations which fell from the lion. bart. at a late Council meeting, and he attributes to him an expression which was not made at the time Sir Richard, it ap- peals wished that the Town Hall should be kept more select as to the meetings held in it, and referred to flower shows" as damaging to the property. And your correspondent says that the hon. bart must have meant by flowei shows" the tea meetings held by the Church School, and that he further said that those meetings were held for the purpose of enticing or proselyting children." Now, according to the report in the NORTH WALES CHRONICLE, and the testimony of others who were present, the hon. bart. never made use of such an ex- pression! Certainly yonr correspondent's animus against Sir Rietiard must be deeply-rooted indeed, when he is obliged to resort to such a subterfuge. Had the hon. bart. made use of the expression he would not have erred much. I publicly declare to your correspondent, that circumstances have occurred in connection with the Establishment of the Church Sabbath School in Beau- maris, and subsequently, which will bear out such an expression. Is your correspondent aware of the origin of the above-mentioned School, and does he know any- thing of the uupleasantness that has been more than once caused by the sayings of indiscreet pereohs at the Sabbath School gatherings in the Town Hall ? If he does not he should have refrained from writing on the subject; and if he does, I am not at all astonished that he writes under a fictitious name. Verb. sap. Should A Looker-On" be disposed to offer any re- marks upon these strictures of mine, I shall feel obliged ii he will do so in his proper name, and I shall be happy to append my address. Put, in the meantime, I beg to subscnbemyself, ANOTHER LOOKER-ON. [* We think the suggestion a most judicious one, under the circumstances, and shall decline any further cor- respondence until it is complied with.-Ed. N.W.C.]

BANGOR, IN WINTER. Sir,-It would be difficult to find a more beautiful or more agreeable town to reside in than is Bangor, for about two-thirds of the year-that is, from the begin- ning of April to the latter end of October. There is scarcely any conceivable kind of scenery, and land and sea views, that is not to be found within a radius of five miles, and of a character which can hardly be surpassed. Land and sea, mountain and valley, crag and woodland, castle and cottage, wooden mountain-stream bridges, and structures which are amoagst the acknowledged wonders of the world, are all to be found in Bangor and its im- mediate neighbourhood, and their united beauties at tract visitors from all parts of the civilized world, and this can be said without the slightest exaggeration. In fact, a more beautiful or healthier spot than Bangor does not exist in the British Islands. Then, again, as it relates to amusements and means of innocent recreation, during the summer and part of the autumn, there is nothing whatevel to complain of. We have concerts ad libitum, and entertainments, until we become almost tired of them, for Bangor seems to be singled out as a place of special attraction for all classes of musical and other artists. We are visited by stars of all degrees of magnitude, and from all the signs of the musical and literary zodiac; but the worst of it is, these stars" only shine upon us during the summer sunshine, and when their absence would scarcely be missed. The above is the summer picture of Bangor-the sun- shiny side, as it may be termed but how about its wintry side-how then ?—wintry and desolate, bleak and bare in the extreme. We have nothing whatever to enliven the dull monotony of the long winter nights -nothing to cheer and amuse us. In most of the larger towns in North Wales, and in some villages also, there are Penny Readings;" in Bangor we are only made acquainted with the very name by means of the news- paptrs. Very few towns of the size and population of Bangor but what can boast of a Mechanics' Institute or a Literary Society—Institutions which have done so much good for the working classes »f thiscouutq, and which promise to accomplish still more; in Bangor they are quite unknown. Although we have pretty well of music of a certain class, there is not a brass band belonging to the town, and when we require the services of one, we have te send elsewhere for it; and even Lectures we have not the opportunity afforded us of attending. In our first enthusiasm we managed to get up a Volunteer Compa- ny, but that soon dwindled away, from sheer apathetic indifference on the part of those whose duty it surely was, as patriots, to have kept the spirit of the corps alive. Now, these are facts which cannot be denied and the result is that, during the winter months, Ban- gor is fully as dull as the smallest village in the coun- try. Now, somebody must be to blame for this state of things, and the question is—who ? In other towns, the clergy, the resident gentry, and the dissenting ministers, all join together, or work singly, to adopt some means for the purpose of improving, amusing, or elevating the masses in Bangor the masses are left to find amusement and to gain instruction for themselves. In summer time, when nature calls the tired artizan and wearied tradesman, after his day's toil, into the green fields and shady lanes, he is wooed likewise to the Pen- rhyn Hall to listen to a concert or entertainmentof some kind; in the winter, when out-door recreation and en- joyment are out of all question, the Penrhyn Hall is, as it were, hermetically sealed. Is it safe or desirable that matters should be permitted to remain as they exist at nresent ? -u- BN?UIHEH. I 1 Bangor, Nov. 22I1d,' .EISQUUŒl{' I

TO THE INHABITANTS OF MENAI BRIDGE. I Friends and Neighbours,—Allow me to call your at- tention to a few facts concerning your welfare and hap- piness, as inhabitants of the above-named village. You are all aware that your village is in the parish of Llandysilio a small parish containing about 700 acres of arable land. In the year 1811, about one-half of this parish was unenclosed common land, called Cerig y Borth;" and the population was only 300. Now, by an Act of Parliament passed in 1807, called Llandysilio and Llaneilian Inclosure Act," the whole of the land is enclosed, with the exception of 5 acres reserved to hold the fairs upon as usual," according to the Award under the said Act of Parliament. Now, mark the difference in the condition and popu- tion of the parish since 1811. The whole population then was only 300; in tke year 1861 it was 1348 and now it must be upwards of 1,400. Only. 300. souls, scattered over 1400 acres of land, including the com- mon land, did not want scarcely any supervision as to drainage and sanitary provision but when 1100 is added to the population, and all this additional number are huddled together in a small corner of the parish, it is quite a different thing altogether. You are well aware how land is let or sold to build upon at Menai Bridge if you can strike a bargain with an owner of land, you can rear an edifice so ugly as to cause pain to every looker-on for generations you can build an hovel for £25, and let it to a tenant for £5 a year,—without going to any expense to provide a privy ,,ea sort of drain whatever You know well the coiMequence; I need not Injure your feelings by abo- minable details, Read the report of your late appointed Inspector of Nuisances, published in the NOUTH WALKS CHKONICLK Look at this and at that," and inwardly digest the facts. How are you about water supply ? There is no village in Wales worse off in this respect, and no one where a remedy is easier. Nature has been prolific in bestowing her bounties on your place. The strong tides of the Menai Straits scour your fore-shores, where you may empty your sewers, if properly made. Your beautiful building land is on a declivity facing this Herculean scavenger. Well may Nature ask, What more would you have me to do ? There is a most plenteous spring of pure water close by; why net make a reservoir and lay down pipes ?" Besides you cannot blame the Legislature. When, 50 years ago, it passed an Act to inclose Cerig y ,Bortli," it gave you land towards supporting your poor; you sold this lately for f 300, and this sum is laid to your credit in the Government funds. It also gave you land to get materials to repair the highways this, also, was sold by you, a few months ago, for nearly £100; and this sum, I presume, lies somewhere to your credit: you have money enough and to spare, it seeing. As I alluded before, the Legislature has awarded you 5 acres of the Common land to hold the fairs upon. But, remark; of this land there is only a few square yards used to hold the fair., upon and this, small as it i8, only twice in a year. what becomes of the remaining upwards of 4 acres ? Well, a small part of it wastaken by the Government to build the Bridge upon, without ever paying a farthing for it. The.same may be said of other parties; but there still remains of this property, after all the cabbaging and picking, £1000 worth, if sold for building purposes Before completing the Menai Bridge, the Government bought the Ferry, with all its appurtenances and ap- proaches but it never took possession of the buildings belonging thereto why not give these in exchange for part of the land reserved for the fairs, it took possession of to build the Bridge upon ? Now, Inhabitants of Menai Bridge, lot me implore you to tnake a pull, a strong pull, and pull altogether, to get an Act of Parliament, a Menai Bridge Improvement Act," to appoint Improvement Commissioners, or Local Board, with authority to sell all the superfluous land, and. apply the produce to improve the sanitary condi- tion of the village, getting a plenteous supply of pure water, &c. Draw a case, stating all particulars, for the opinion of an eminent Counsel, feel your way thoroughly, and pro- ceed cautiously, and I have not the least doubt that you will succeed, and confer a lasting benefit on those t?b;"t do at present, and shall hereafter, live at Menai Bridge. « J.

MR. W. T. ROGERS AND "ESCULAPIUS." SrR.-Will you kindly allow me space in the CHMKICLE to state that I have carefully read over the erroneous epistle written by your coreespondent, Escu- lapius, in which lie makes some remarks upon my poor self. Mine will not be a lengthy letter in reply to his "no—Dinner" one but I sincerely regret that he was not invited, as, in that case, the Town Council and the Mayor would have been saved a sotemn lecture, and I should have had a chance, at least, of being returned as a member of the Corporation. He does not seem to relish my allusion to the gallery;" but does lie really know what is meant by it ? If he ever was in the House of Commons, and got a peep at the reporters there, he would have some notion of the meaning; but as it is, he must rest satisfied with this hint. He then comes out with a terrible threat, viz., That the Gallery will take care of itself at the proper time, and will be most happy to respond to his urgent wishes by paying proper and due attention to his respectful wants, as he so much desired." Well, may I beg of Mr. Escu- lapius to come out in his own name, instead of that of an old Greek doctor, so that I may be enabled to mea- sure hir, influence upon the loyal burgesses of Beaumaris by the time my respectful wants be so much desired." It is a serious case with me, I find, in this mysterious gallery business; and if Eculapius should succeed in ousting me out of the Town Council, by aid of the said gallery, I trust he will treat me mercifully, and not ban- ish me out of the county as well, nor deprive me of my rights, and freedom of opinion.

AMLWCH. On Tuesday evening last, the first of a series of popu- lar Readings was held at the Literary and Scientific In- stitution, under the patronage of the Right Honble Lady Dinorben and the Honble.

Before the evening's proceedings were entered upon, the Chairman (Mr. Williams, Tregwyn) made a few observations to the effeat that the success of these Readings would entirely depend upon the cordiality and unanimity with which the audience and other friends in town and neighbour- hood should choose to support them, by taking an active part in the entertainments on future occasions; and should there be anything to blame in the arrangements for the present evening, he hoped all criticism would be friendly, and that those ladies and gentlemen who had kindly volunteered to come forward this evening for the purpose of singing, reading, &c., would, knowing that they were in the midst of friends and well-wishers, ac- quit themselves without the fear of harsh comments. He then begged to call upon Miss Hughes, Tyddyn Dai, to preside at the pianoforte, who then rendered a charm- ing piece of music in her usual accomplished style. The Rev. J. Richards read a memoir of Shakespeare after which Miss Trevor sang Katty's Letter." A recitation from Shakespeare followed, by Messrs. R. R. Storey, J. H. Jones, J. Morcom, and James Treweek. A selection from Flatow's Opera of Martha," upon the pianoforte, by Miss Mary Catherine Jones, was succeeded by a reading from the amusing adventures of ArtemusWard, read by Mr. Thomas F. Evans Next, a comic song, The Organ Grinder," by Mr. Storey. Mr. H. Jones, British School, read an original composition upon the Times"—Past, Present, and Future, in which allusion was made lo the probable end of the temporal reign of the Pope in 1866, a liksly sequence of the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome; and, if so, it will be a wonderful instance of the fulfilment of prophecy, the year 1866 having been defined by some of our greatest writers as an explanation of the time fixed for the down- fal of the Beast of the Revelations of St. John. Miss Hughes again favoured the audience with a select piece of music upon the pianoforte, and afterwards Miss Tre- vor sang with great eUl pressement The Lady of the Lea." The Queen of the May" (Tennyson) was read by Mr. Moulsdale and a comic song followed, The Horrible Tale," by Mr. Wm. Henry Hughes. A vote of thanks to the lady performers, proposed by Mr. Moulsdale, and seconded by Mr. Charles Hills, was car- ried unanimously. The thanks of the meeting were then presented to tha Chairman, after which the enter- tainment was brought to a close by all present rising to sing God save the Queen." Notwithstanding the se- verity of the weather, the hall was crowded with lis- teners. The next Reading is fixed for Friday, the 1st proximo. NEW COACH FROM LLA-.IGEFNr.-IVe are glad to find that a new four-horse coach, the proprietor of which is Mr. H. Humphreys, Uulkeley Arms, Menai Bridge, com- menced running between Llangefni and Amlwch on Monday morning last. The coach starts from Llangefui after the arrival of the first railway train and returns from Amlwch to Llangefni in the evening, in time for the last up traiu. As there is a good deal of travelling between the two towns, this coach will be a great ac- commodation to the public until the completion of the railway, and Mr. Hitinphreys-aiid his coach were greeted with a hearty welcome all along the route and from al- most every cottage, and, of course, particularly so at Amlwch.

BEAUMARIS. I TOWN COONCIL.—On the 21st inst. William Henry Weldon, Elq., of Trosyrafon, was elected Councillor of the Borough of Beaumaris, in the room of Llewelyn Jones, Esq elected Alderman on the 9th inst., and to go out of office when the said Llewelyn Jones, Esq., would go out by rotation. There was no other burgess nominated.-On the 20th instant, George Higgins, Esq., of Red Hill, was elected Alderman for this Borough, in the room of the late P. B. Edwards, Esq and to go out of office when the said deceased gentleman would go out by rotation. There was only one other gentle- man proposed.

BARMOUTH. I ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, the 16th inst., a carpenter, named Thomas Davies, met with a sad accident whilst working on the pile bridge, which runs in front of the town and quay. It appears he was working with the adze on the top of the bridge, when he overbalanced himself and fell a depth of about 25 feet. The man was immediately taken to Dr. Parry Davies's surgery, when it was found he had received several serious bruises about the head and body, but no bones were broken. Fortunately the man fell upon sand had he fallen upon some of the beams below, in all probability he would have been killed upon the spot. Under the treatment of the above-named gentleman, we are happy to say the poor fellow is progressing favourably. Citops.-The root crops in this locality are certainly good this year, and over the average. The potatoe dis- ease has not shown itself to any great extent, and pota- toes are now sold for four and sixpence to five shillings per sack. Amongst the mangel wurtzel and Swede crops, we cannot refrain from noticing particularly those of Mr. J. R. Davies, Hotel. They are the best we have seen in this part of the county; are a credit and recom- pense to Mr. Davies for the great care he took in clean- sing and preparing the land for the crops he intended growing; and we trust some of his brother farmers will take a peep over the walls of his farm, at the crops, and derive some little benefit by the same.

CARNARVON. I GUILDHALL, Monday, Nov. 20th-Before LI. Turner, Esq., Mayor, and Thomas Turner, Esq. James Langham, an old man, was charged with beg- ging. The police officer said he saw him in a shop in Salem-street, begging. He was drnnk and abusive as well. The prisoner said he was an Irishman, but had been in Wales 48 years.. In consideration of his havlng been locked up since the previous Tuesday, the prisoner was discharged with a caution. Catherine Roberts, an old offender, was charged with being drunk and incapable, m Eastgate-street, on Friday night, and was obliged to be conveyed to the station on a stretcher. The Mayor said she had been over and over ain in custody, and was an incorrigible drunkard. Prisoner was fined 6s. and. costs, or seven days' impri- somiaut. Owen Ellis and Daniel Lloyd, two boys under ten years of age respectively, were charged with stealing Ileads from the shop of Jo-eph Blackburn, Pool-street. It appeared the young urchins stole the beads through a broken window, and that Mr. Blackburn caught them ill the act. They were dismissed, on account of their youth, with a caution to their parents. THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— r.dward Jones, the stoker on the Carnarvon and Bangor Railway, died on Sunday last from the injuries he had received by falling off the tender some few days since, while the train was in motion. Although the injured arm was amputated, and hopes entertained of his recovery, the shock was se great that the poor fellow succumbed to it. '1 he Government Iuspector of Gaols visited the county gaol last week, and very strongly condemned its insecure state, and was not surprised at prisoners making their escape from it. As the new Act of Parliament for re- gulating Prisons comes into force next Fehruary, "e suppose something will be done to forward the erection of a secure aud well-apportioned prisou for a county whose population is now so fast increasing. Tiir LATE STORM.—On TuesdAy and Wednesday last this Port was visited with a severe gale. On Tuesday night it blew from the south-west, and on Wednesday it veered to the north-east. Although up to Wednesday evening we have heard of no disasters, still it is next to impossible that we shall not hear of frightful losses, the wind having been so changeable.

DENBIGH. I GAME FREAKS.-About three week ago we recorded an extraordinary appearance and capture of a covey of partridges in Hall-square; eubsequently, a woodcock visited the back premises of Mr. Parry Jones; and, still more curious, another covey of partridges dashed in broad daylight, on Friday week, against the window of Dr. Pierce's consulting-room, smashing the glass, and falling backwards, were momentarily numbed, on the grass pad- dock in front of the house. They quickly recovered, and flew into the stable yard. Meauwhile the Doctor resort- ed to his gun, but ere he could place himself in a tiring position, the birds had escaped.

FLINT. I THE WESTMINSTER TESTIMONIAL. On Tuesday last, a public meeting was held at the Town Hall, Flint, convened by the Mayor (It. Muspratt, Esq.) to give the tenants and other admirers in Flint- shire of the Marquess of Westminster an opportunity of subscribing to the fund that is being provided for the purpose of raising a testimonial to his lordship, for his value both as a public man and private nobleman. The mo- ney subscribed will go to augment the fund raised in this city. E. Bate, Esq., took the chair; and there were also present T. T. Kelly, Esq. (solicitor, Mold), P. Ellis Eyton, Esq. (town clerk of Flint), Hev. E. Jenkins (vicar of Flint), Mr. K. Huntley, Mr. C. Davison, Mr. J. Davison, Mr. Isaac Taylor, and Mr. John Williams, &c. The Chairman said that he was very sorry that the Mayor of the town was absent, although the undertaking had his hearty concurrence. (Hear, hear.) They would all have heard, through the medium of the press and other sources, that a movemeut had originated in Ches- ter, a short time ago-the object being to show the high esteem and regard in which the Marquess of West- minister was held by the city and county of Chester. His lorship was also admired and respected in as great a degree in Flintshire, therefore the Mayor (whose absence was much regretted, although unavoidable) had called a meeting in order to give the inhabitants au opportunity of subscribing towards a fund which would go to the augmentation of the general fund at Chester, (Hear, hear.) He would not dilate on the Marquess's high qualities and virtues, as they were so well known, admired, and aT)i)reciated-(hear, hear)—and he felt s'lre that the in- habitants of Flintshire would feel proud in having an opportunity of showing their esteem for the Marquess in a tangible form. (Applaue.) His Lordship had been a sort of a guiding star of the county, and it would be a small token of their admiration of his goodness to con- tribute towards an object, according to their means, which would perpetuate the memory of so worthy an individual. (Applause.) They must have all perceived the benefit of his greatness and goodness, both publicly and privately, in his works, acts, and deeds; many towns, places, and cities had likewise felt the benefit of his liberality, and he (the chairman) was convinced that those present would contribute in a liberal manner to the object in view, the amount subscribed to he for- warded to the general fund at Chester. There was no man more worthy of a lasting testimonial to his memory than the Marquess of Westminster. (Loud applause.) Mr. Huntley endorsed the whole of the remarks of the chairman, and proposed the resolution that will be found in our advertising columns Mr. C. Davison briefly seconded it. Carried unani- mously. Mr. James Davison proposed the second resolution, appointing a committee to carry out the object of the meeting (for which see advertisement), and expressed himself greatly in favour of the object of the meeting. He had known the Marquess for many years, and had watched the way in which he had promoted every ob- ject for the benefit of others; and he came there to bear testimony, not only to his private worth, but to his general character. He was glad to have the privilege of proposing the resolution. (Applause.) Mr. T. T. Kelly seconded the resolution. He sug- gested that the amount received from the counties from the counties of Flint and Denbigh, when appearing in the general account, be placed under separate heads, in order to show what each county contributed. lie would support the object heartily; it had his warmest and most cordial appreciation. (Applause.) Mr. Ellis Eyton expressed himself in terms of praise on behalf of the project, and approved of the suggestion thrown out by Mr. Kelly. On the motion of Mr. Huntley, seconded by Mr. P. E. Eyton, a cordial vote of thanks was given to the chair- man, who acknowledged the compliment. The meeting then broke up. Upwards of jC60 was subscribed in the room. Mr. P. E. Eyton was appointed honorary secretary to the Flintshire Testimonial Fund.

REVIE i\ OF THE BRITISH CORN THADE DUUING THE PAST WEEK. The late heavy raiiu having given place to open weather for a fortnight or se, the henvy lands have at last coma in for the benefit, and a large breadth of wheat has now being buccesfully planted. The double summer "e have had, and the dry subsoil with its extra warmth, will doubtless produce a speedy germill. atlon of the seed, and there are prospects of many good plants before Christmas. The importance of a favourable seed-time, after so many failures both in this and otW parts of the world, can hardly be over estimated, and let us hops that the gather, eriag will be equally propi, ious but the agency of man, how. ever necessary, gives no security to the issue. As to prices this week, a slight reaction has appeared, A rise of fully 10s fron, the lowest point, when money was dear and rents coming due, would naturally lead to a fair exhibition of samples; and as some growers this season, on certain strong soils, have found a fair yield, such could have well ailord to sell at the advance but it, nevertheless, does not pay those that have gone short but there are not a few in this condition. The market advicej of this week show, in many places. a decline of about Is per qr but others were not disposed to accept lower rates, viewing the decline as temporary. On the Continent there has been but little alteration. Paris has been dull and rather cheaper for wheat, though little difference is yet noted in the country., Belgium and Holland have kept firm, as well as the markets of the Baltic and Northern Germauy while Danzig, which has yielded Is per quarter ou the best samples, has recovered the decline. The stagnation of trade at Venice has ceased, prices having brought liberal foreign orders, till over 20,000 qrs. wheat, have been placed at full prices. Montreal shows less activity, being influenced by New York and the markets of the United States, which for the past week have been less buoyant, though rates have very little altered. The late rise in this county ha, not therefore placed us in snabl a position as to secure a»ple supplies either from America or Europe and. as winter sets in the prospects will be less encouraging.

LIVERPOOL CORN NfilIKET.-TUESDAr. I The change of wind has brought a large number of vessels into our Fort during the last week, and onr arrivals of wheat chieft. Europeau,, flour (all French: and Indian corn European as well as American,, are each on a liberal scale, with also a fair qllaa. tity of French beaus and Canadian pease. The receipts front Ireland are rather on the iuciease. Exports lighter both Cosst- wise sad to Ireland, Our last adrices from New York report more liberal receipts at the seaboard, but the news of our advance here had the effect of sending prices much above shipping range, and very little could be obtained on English account, except Indian corn which was offered more freely than any other article. The Autumn sowing. may now be considered completed, and the weather is certainly all that could be desired for the ger. mination of the grain. The advance recently established in the value of wheat may be roughly stated at 10s per quarter, but during the last few days a slight reaction has taken place, and a portion of this, sty Is per quaiteJ, has been lost, which may be attributed to the near approach of rent day bnngiog more selier; into the country markets. We have had a dull week here, and all articles are the turn lower. The English wheat offered at Mark Lane yes. terday was In poor condition and very unsaleable but flue dry samples and old foreign brought last week's prices in retail. With few buyers at our corn Exchange to-day. we hare had only a small demand for wheat, at a reduction of Id per cental on American and 2d on French. French flour is 6d to li per sack lower and difficult to move. Indian corn is in less favtur than of late and we quote best qualities 6d per quarter and secondary Is cheaper than on this day week. Oats hare not given way more that 111 per bushel, but oatmeal we are buying at 2s per load less money. Pease have fallen 6d, and beans and barley Is per quarter. Market closes without animation, but at the same time without pressure to sell. IRELAND & THORNLEY, BROKERS.
