MR DISRAELI IN SCOTLAND. I On Tuesday evening, a grand banquet was given in the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh, in honour of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, by the Conservatives of Scotland. The Corn Exchange was brilliantly decorated for the occasion, the upper wall being blazoned with the arms of Scotland wreathed, with side wreaths exhibiting the armorial beatings of Lord Derby and Mr Disraeli, with the words above, Welcome to the Chancellor of the Exchequer," and below, Success to Lord Derby's Ministry." Around the hall were the blazons of the different members of the Cabinet, and various other de- corations were introduced. Nearly 1,300 gentlemen sat down to dinner; and in a gallery constructed for the occasion, about 120 ladies (including Mrs Disraeli) were seated. The chair was occupied by Sir William, Stirling Maxwel), M.P. and the Earl of Strathraore, Sir James Campbell, Mr Dutulas, of Arnistou; Lord Garlies, Major Cumming ttruce, N].P. -laud Mr Lawson, ex, Lord Provost, officiated as croupiers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was, on entering, received with loud and pro- longed cheers. The preliminary toasts having been dis- posed of, the Chairman gave the toast of the evening, which was received with long-continued cheering. TV Chancellor of the Exchequer, in responding to the toast, proceeded at once to refer to the part he had taken iu passing the Reform Bill. II e Raid he wa" glad that the cou luct of the Government had not been mis- understood by the people of Scotland, and that there was a real disposition to give them credit for sinceiity in their wish to settle tue questiou. in ttw hrst place lie argued that the Tory party had a right to deal with the question of Parliamentary Reform secondly, that, hav- ing that light, they were bound to use it; and, thirdly, he tried to show that in dealing with the question they had dealt with it in the best menuer. 'I hen he answered objections, and finally discoursed upon one or two mat- ters naturally growing out of his main topic. In deny- ing that the Whigs ouly had a right to deal with lie. from, Mr Disraeli said that historically the question be- longed to the Tories. It was the Tories of the last cen- tury who first mooted it, in opposition to the oligarchy by which the country was at that time governed. I J Pitt, aud the men who thought and acted with him, advocated a century beforehand principles which would have given us all the advantages of free trade, now so much vaunted, principles of religious tolerence and Parlia- mentary Reform. Mr Disraeli did not blame Earl Grey for taking up Reform, but was more doubtful of Sir It. Peel's undertaking, on the part of the Conservatives, not to disturb the settlement which that noble earl's bill effected. However, right or wrong, the Tories faith- fully observed their compact. When Lord Russell gave up the doctrine of finality and himself attempted to in- terfere with the settlement of 1832, the Conservatives wore released from their engagement, and they then came to an understanding as to the principles which should guide their conduct in the matter iu future. They came to a definite and determined resolution that under no circumstances whatever was the Tory party ever to be induced to oppose a new Reform Hill that they would always assist its introduction, and then attempt to mould it into that form which they believed would be most advantageous to the country, and to that resolution, passed nearly twenty years ago, they had invariably and religiously adhered. Mr Disraeli defended the con- duct of Lord Derby's ugoverti nietitl in dealing with Re- form on the ground that it had been constantly recom- mended in the Royal Speeches, and yet one Government after another had failed in their attempts to settle the question. He did not believe that Lord Palmerston regarded the matter with levity, as some supposed. Oil the contary, he told Lord Derby when he gave up office that he thought it of the greatest importance that this question should be settled; that it embarrassed the Crown, embarrassed Parliament, might be the source and cause of disaster to the state, and if a moderate and well-considered measure were introduced he wonld give it a very candid and fair consideration. Mr Disraeli was willing to believe that Lord Palmerston did not wish the question to be dealt with by his own pavty. The right hon. gentbman went on to assert that, despite appearances to the contrary, the Tory party had, from the time they determined to deal with Reform, had a definite creed on the subject. That creed embraced five points The first was that we should listen to noth- ing that was not a complete and comprehensive mea. sure, that all the points of the subject of Parliamentary Reform should be treated together, because we knew that upon our treating them depended the political equilibrium which has hitherto prevailed in this country. That is the first priuciple. What is the seoond ? During these seven years I bad to vindicate the principles on ¡ which disfranchisement and enfrauchisetueut should take place, I said, We cannot listen for a moment to the reasons assigned for grouping boroughs. We cannot sav that the renresentation of anv place should, be en- tirely abrogated.' We insisted in our bill that no centre of representation should be abolished, and we said, For the increased representation you want ill Eugbud you must look to a certain class of boroughs, no doubt, to give up a portion of their claim.' And what was the third question ? It was whether any Parliamentary Re- form could be satisfactory, unless you had a real and bona fide Boundary Commission. What was the fourth point ? That justice should be done to the representation of the majority of the English nation who live in comi- ties, and that it should be done not merely by giving representation to the great towns which have sprung into importance since Lord Grey's Act of 1832, but by adding a considerable number directly to their represen- tatives. What was the fifth point ? We insisted upon, and supported by our vote, that the borough franchise should be established on the principle of rating. These are the hve points which, for seven weary and toilsome years, 1 have, with the entire concurrence and at the instigation of those who share your confidence, endea- voured in the House of Commons to impress upon the conscience and conviction of Parliament." And had not all these points (Mr Disraeli asked triumphantly) been embodied in the measure which had just become law ? Lord Derby (he remarked in the course of his argu- ment I had always believed that there was no resting-place short of household suffrage if the borough franchise were ouce lowered, and therefore, in the bill of 1859, he did not propose to lower it. A measure of household suf- frage then would never have been carried. But in the seven years which lay between that date and 1867, Mr Disraeli had, he said, "educated" his party. "It is a large party, and requires its attention to be called to questions of this kind with some pressure. I had to pre- pare the miud of Parliament and the country on this question of Reform." The objectors to the Bill Mr Disraeli divided into two classes—those who think that by establishing household sum-age it has democratised the constituencies, and those who hold with the writer of "The Conservative Surrender" in the Quarterly Review, that it has demoralised the Conservative party. Mr Disraeli would not admit that household suffrage was necessarily democratic in its tendency, but it was unnecessary to argue the point, because the Government had not established household suffrage. There were in round numbers some 4,000,000 householders in the country. About 1,000,000 had the suffrage before the bill, and about half a million would be enfranchised by the bill; and was it really to be argued that such an addition would revolutionise the country ? The writer in the Quarterly was, Mr Disraeli said, a very clever man, who had made a great mistake. He reminded him of those patients whom one meets sometimes in lunatic asylums, whose madness takes the form of a belief that they are the only sane people in the world, and that all the rest of mankind are mad. Really," said the right hon. gentleman, these Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews, although no man more admires them than myself, 1 admire as I do first-class, first-rate posting horses, which in old days, for half a century or so, to use a Manchester phrase, carried on a roaring trade.' Soon there come some revolutions or progress which no person ever contemplated. Thej find things so altered that they do not understand them, and instead of that intense competition aud mutual viudic- tiveuess which before distinguished them, they suddenly quite agree—the boots' of the Blue Boar and the cham- bermaid of the Red Lion embrace, and they are quite in accord in this-in denouncing the infamy of railroads." Coming to the future, Mr Disraeli went on to tell his auditory what he means to do for Scotland. In the lirllt place, he will give Scotland the same extended franchise as England enjoys, and then he will give her more representatives. But how is this latter purpose to be effected'! "After having given the most deliber- ate consideration to the subject, my opinion is that you cannot increase the representation of Scotland unless you increase the number of representatives of the House of Commons. I do not express the opinion as a ineru abstract opinion formed by reflection upon certain cir- cumstances. I say, as one wh > is and has been a le ider of the House of Commons, and who knows something of the character, disposition, and mind of members of the House of Commons—and I am as certain as that I am speaking now —that there is no other mode by which the representation of Scotland can be increased. You will have fifty other modes before you, and some of them proposed, I am sorry to say, by members for Scotland. N othiug is more easy than to point out a class of English boroughs, for example, with a small population, and contrast their circumstances, social, commercial, and political, with some nomnihing places in Scotland, I and form an argument for the enfranchisement of the places in Scotland; but the people of England know that thev are renresented at present by 500 members, that their membcis have already diminished to increase the representation of Scotland, and that they do not believe—various as their opinions may be as to the dis- position of liower- but that they can completely dispose of them for their owu use, and will not Jet Scotland have one, and I do not blame them. If any members for Scotland join in taking means to disfranchise boroughs in England, with the idea that they are obtain- ing them for group boroughs' or divided counties in Scotland, they will find that in the last scene of the pantomime all changes in the disfranchised boroughs are apportioned from the small English city to the small English city therefore it will be necessary for the people of Scotland to make up their minds on this subject, It i,4 said, if you increase the number you will have every twopenny-half-penny borough that rises like a fungus in the night, and gets a population God knows how, where they come from or where they go to-for they often as soon disappear— clattering at the door of the House of Commons. My answer to that is, the good sense of the House of Com- mons would immediately put an end to such an appeal; but when it comes to the question whether your ancient nation, which joined us on equal terms, from its altered circumstances, should receive increased representation, I believe the good sense of tha House of Commons will fairly consider that question, and they will say there is no cabalistic charm in the number 668." Mr Disraeli coinplimeuted the Scottish people on their national edu- cation, and adverted to education iu general. Upon this he said, "I think myself that the issue that has been raised is in a certain sense a false issue; but as it touches very great principles and the eharictfr of the nation, I would say myself that I do not believe that in this United Kingdom any form of education founded upon a com- pulsory principle, and forcing every part of the country to adopt the same system, could be successful. I am not prepared at this moment to believe that the same sys- tem ought to be extended to every part of her Majesty's dominions, and 1 am not prepared to admit that the British nation generally is an uneducated nation." Mr Disraeli, in conclusion, drew a contrast between the state of the country now and that in which it was at the passing of the first Heforni Bill. You passed a Reform Bill then," he ,aid, "and everybody was frightened; they were so frightened that they collected together and believed that the only security against further danger was the associating together to prevent further change. Now we feel what an error was that. It is as fallacious an opinion in politics as in science to suppose that you can establish a party upon resistance to change; and for this reason, that change is inevitable in a progressive country. Change is constant; and the great question is, not whether you will resist change which is inevitable, but whether that change shall be carried out in deference to the manners, the customs, the laws, and the traditions of a people, or whether it shall be carried out in deference to the abstract prin- ciples and arbitrary and general doctrines. One is a national system; the other, to give it the worse epithet which it may deserve, is a philosophic system. But, although they both have very great advantages, this must be remembered. The national system is supported, no doubt, with the fervour of patriotism the philoso- phic has a singular exemption from the force of preju- dice, but the national system, although it may occu. sionally represent the prejudices of a natioi, never in- juries the national character; while the philosophic system, although it may occasionally improve by its advanced views the condition of a country, precipitates progress, and may oceasion revolution, and destroy States." Mr Disraeli has always considered the Tory party the national party. Whenever the Tory party degenerates into oligilrchy it becomes unpopular; when- ever the national institutions do not fulfil their original intentions the Tory party lecomes odious but when the people are led by their natural leaders, and when, by their united influence, the national institutions fulfil their original intentions, when the Tory party is triumphant., and then, under Providence, it will secure the prosperity and happiness of the country." Looking at the present aspect of affairs, the right hon. gentle- man ..aid Events may now be occurring which may influence the condition of Europe and affect the position of this country. For my own part, I should not be doing my duty if I did not express my conviction that it is not only the interest but the intention of the great Powers of Europe to favour, and to favour permanently, the cause of peace. But no doubt, whatever Ministry may have to regulate the fortunes of this country, what- ever may be their abilities, whatever may be the favourable circumstances they can command, they are nothing without the confidence of the great mass of the nation, and without the encouragement which assemblies like these must give to all." The remaining toasts included" Her Majesty's Minis- ters," for whom Lord John Manners replied; The I loiises of Pailialneiit," to which the Duke of Montrose and Sir Graham Montgomery responded The city of Edinburgh," &c On Wednesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer was presented in the Music Hall with the freedom of the citv and at half-past three o'clock the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by the University in the hall of the University Library. At eight o'clock in the evening he attended a working man's meeting in order to receive a complimentary address, to which he replied at length.

AMLWCH. DEATH OF Mn, ROBEnT LEWIS DEW.-In oily obituary of this week we have the melancholy duty of recording the death of Mr 1{. L, Dew, who died at Amlwch, ori Saturday last, after a protracted and painful illness of several months, at the comparatively early age of forty years. Mr Dew was well known in Anglesey and other parts of Wales, and was much esteemed and respected for his gentlemanly, kind, and genial manners, and his loss will be severely felt as a public man in Amlwch and the immediate neighbourhood, as he was the very first to promote any good work which had for its object the benefit and prosperity of the town and district. Al- though only forty, he had been conuected with the National Provincial Bank for no less a period than twenty-seven years, and of which bank he had been the efficient manager for fifteen years. On his business talents it would be superfluous for us to dilate, as they are well-known and appreciated by the public generally. As a public man. he was one of the most active and enterprising of the inhabitants of Amlwch. He was mainly instrumental in obtaining gas for the town, and the same praise can be awarded to him in reference to the public Cemetery. He was one of the most zealous promoters of the Anglesey Central line of railway, and he lived long enough to see his favourite idea in that respect realized, and to witness the opening of the rail- way from Gaerwen to Amlwch. When the dreaded cholera visited the town in the autumn of last year, and when there was no suitable accommodation for patients nor any organized body of men to act together to stem the progress of the plague as much as possible, the de- ceased was one of those who established the Local Cholera Board, and which did incalculable service to the town, and who, no doubt, were the means of saving many valuable lives. His last attempt to benefit the town in which he lived, was to take steps to have a new Market Hall erected, but this work, alas he has not lived long enough to see accomplished, and we fear that his loss in this matter will prove to be a very serious drawback. Such was Mr It. L. Dew, who has just gone from amongst us—a gentleman who tried to do all which was in his power for the good of others, and not living, as many do, for himself alone. He was a true friend and a kind and obliging neighbour, and we believe he has gone down to the grave mourned and lamented by all, and without leaving a single enemy behind him, for he never made one. Hut he is gone and let us say in the words of the poet,— No longer seek his merits to disclose, Nor draw his frailties from their last abode, There they alike in trembling hope repose, The bosom of his Father and his God. A correspondent adds:—The remains of this much lamented and highly respected gentleman were interred at Llangefni, on Wednesday last. The relatives of the deceased gentleman, from Bangor, Llangefni, Chester, Machynlleth, and other parts arrived here by the 10-30 train, and were met at the Bank by those of the bereaved lady, where the necessary arrangements were made for the funeral cortege, which proceeded to the station of the Anglesey Central Railway in the following order; Thomas Hughes, Esq, M.D. Mr Sellers. Mr R. Williams, jun., (Undertaker), of the firm of R. Williams and Sons. THE COFFIN, Borno by six renpc clablo townsmen. MoIfl(NfltH Mr 14, I)iiw. Mr Win. Hew. Mr ft. M, Griffith Mr C. i'ierei-.

Throughout, the whole of the route from the Bank to itritt the blinded windows could not fail lo impn-tm on all who witnessed the pro- cession, that tin-, ile., inwil ranked high iu the esteem of his IVIloW townHinen and neighbours. At Llangefni, the funeral Willi met by the rector, the Rev. H. Owen, who went through the solemn and beautiful service of the < hurch of England in his usual impres- sive mauner. It must not be omitted in this place to state, that at Llangefni, the native place of the deceased, every possible mark of respect was shown by the inhabi- tants, either by partly or wholly closing their establish- ments. After the interment, the relatives and friends of the deceased, repaired to the Fron, the residence of S. Dew, Esq., where they found everything provided that hospitality could suggest to administer to their comfort, on such a mournful occasion. It seldom falls to our lot to witness such a respectable and nicely ar. ranged funeral ceremonial, and great praise is slue to Mr K. Williams, jun., for the able manner in which the details were carried out.

ANOTHER FENIAN OUTRAGE.—About one o'clock on Thursday morning a most daring attempt to assassinate two policemen was made in Eustace-street, Dublin. It appears that a small man, wearing a moustache, and carrying a bundle, was challenged by Constable Kenna, whereon the man discharged a pistol, wounding the constable in the pit of the stomach. The man then proceeded up the street towards Dame street, where he was challenged by Sergeant Kelly, at whom he fired, and wounded him also in the stomach.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK ON THE I COAbT OF ANGLESEY. EIGHTEEN LIVES LOST. THE INQUEST. On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held on the bodies of Captain W. B. Nancollis, his wife and twelve unknown persons who perished with the Earl of Chester which left Liverpool on Friday last, and foundered at Rhosneigr, r.ine miles from Holyhead, at about half-past seven o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, eighteen souls being then aboard. The bodies, fourteen in num- ber, were lying in the National school-room, of Llan- faelog, where also the inquest was held. There were present—Mr William T'rowse, part proprietor of the Earl of Chester Captain Chrisholme, of the Under- writers' Association, Liverpool; Mr W. B. Taylor, Liverpool, (son-in-law of the captain); Mr Hall, North Richmond-street, Dublin, (the mate's father); and several persons locally connected. A jury of twelve was empanelled the Rev. R. Wil- liams, rector of Llanfaelog (the parish in which the ship- wreck took place) being foreman. The first witness called was John Williams, Cefndu, Llaubeuno, who said-I live on the beach at Rhosneigr. Last Sunday morning about 6 o'clock, I saw a ship opposite the spot where I live. At the time it was rather dark. She struck about 8 a m. on a rock, and became a total wreck in half an hour. My house is about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the wreck. There were several people on the beach between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning. The sea, and the breakers were so terrible they prevented any assistance. No signal of distress was given. No gun was fired from the ship. The nearest life-boat association is that of Rhoscolyn. By the Coroner-Why did you not send to Rhoscolyn for the life boat < Witness-I cannot say, indeed. It would be of no use sending tc Rhoscolyn, as no boat could survive in such a sea. That is the opinion of the most experienced sailors on the coast. By Rev. R. Williams, (foreman of the jury)—It was your duty to send to Rhoscolyn even if that was the case. The responsibility of a failure would not have rested with you had the life-boat proved unsuccessful. By Coroner—Did anyone go there ? Witness-I do not think anyone went to Rhoscolyn. Police-officer No. 18-1 examined the pockets of Capt. Nancollis, at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon when the bod" was found. I found on the body a certificate as well as the sum of £1 18s 9d in a pocket-book. By the Foreman—A doubt has been raised whether a gold watch was on the Captain's body when first found. To have the question put to the witness would answer a good purpose. The Coroner—I am also anxious that the question be put. Who were present when the body was found ? Witness—When the body was found I was on the beach, about thirty yards from the body when it was discovered. It was impossible that the watch could have been extracted from the body during the time it was removed without my knowledge. I had my eye continually on the body, that nothing could be taken from him. The body had no waistcoat on when found, Mr Edward Williams, Llaiifaelog --I informed the Captain's son-in-law on the authority of a boy, that the Captain had a watch on when found. The boy on being called to prove this assertion, said that he had been told on the beach that a boy from Llangwyfan had had a gold watch. On this a police- officer was sent for the boy. Stephen Mummery, police-officer, said that he had found certain papers on the person of a man having moustachoes but no whiskers. He had also found a set of gold studs on the same person. He was described in the certificate found on his person as William Fore- man, born at Boston in 1841. He was supposed to be the cook and was a black wan. He had also five pawn- tickets on his person. Richard Roberts, Tyn-y-Ilan, (churchwarden of the parish), certified that he had received two rings, which had been taken from the fingers of the Captain's wife. When discovered, she was in a nude state, with the excep- tion of a chemise, a pair of stockings, and one boat, A police-officer had found the supposed possessor of the Captain's gold watch who was brought forth. He was Owen Jones, Llangwyfan, who said he was 14 years of age. He then gave an account of himself. I was last Suaday afternoon on the sea beach near the scene of the wreck. There were other boys with me. I was told that some one had had a gold watch in the Captain's pocket, but I was not previously aware of this. No watch of any kind has been in my hand for mouths. I cannot account forthe propagation of such a story. The learned Coroner, (William Jones, Esq., Menai Bridge, the county Coroner), then summed up the evidence in a very lucid and able manner. He raised no objection as to the cause of death. In respect to the conduct of the Rhosneigr men not applying for the aid of the Rhoscolyn life-boat, he censured their neglect. He said that he had occasion before in the case of an inquest on the bodies of a whole crew drowned at Llan- badrig some years ago, where no one survived to relate the tale. The foreman of the Jury (Rev. R. Williams, rector), returned the verdict of the Jury Accidental Death by Drowning." The inquest being over, the Rev. Robert Williams, M.A., Rector of the parish, invited all strangers to the rectory for luncheon, and our correspondent has been requested by the friends and relations of the deceased to tender publicly their thanks to the rev. gentleman for his very great kindness, assistance, and sympathy to- wards strangers. Ever since the first intelligence of the disaster, he has not spared any pains to render every aid in his power, and this is really valuable in such wild parts of the country as this, where houses are so distant, and public-houses unknown. The following is a list of the persons on board on leav- ing Liverpool, last Friday:—Captain W. B. Nancollis and Mrs Nancollis; Henry William Hall, mate, aged 26, Dublin (son of Mr Samuel Hall, North Richmond- street, Dublin); Malcolm Service, second mate, (who was engaged at the last moment before sailing instead of Thomas Harvey, who was prevented by illness to go out with the Earl of Chester); Henrich Mathies, car- penter, 2", Hanover; William Henry Fooman, steward, 24, Boston, America, and James Cross, Cork—both these men being black; John Thompson, 29, Holland; James Macdonald, 25, Edinburgh; John Johnson, 23, Finland; John Dean, 20, Chester; George Bowen, 33, Guernsey; John Campbell, 22, and John Macgravy, 19 —both belonging to Belfast. There were four appren- tices— John Berry, 15; Robert Fields, 16; J. Pringle, 14 and Henry Brocket, 15 ;-all of Liverpool. There were therefore eighteen persons drowned. It was the captain's intention to retire from the sea after this voyage. James Pringle had only sailed to sea last Friday on his first voyage. A piece of chest, with te letters J. McDonald," painted thereon, was picked up on Tuesday. This be- longed, it is supposed, to James McDonald, Edinburgh, 25 years of age. The bodies of Captain Nancollis, and that of his wife, were taken, yesterday (Wednesday) to Birkenhead, where they will be interred. The remaining bodies- twelve-already found (up to 11 p.m., Tuesday) will be buried at Llanfaelog churchyard, the rector of the parish, Rev. R. Williams, officiating. The National Schoolroom of Llanfaelog preseuted an extraordinary appearance on Tuesday. In one end of it fourteen bodies were lying side by side—all bearing evident signs of distress and misfortune. In the other end of the school- room were as many coffins waiting being made use of. Between sat a jury to cousider the cause of death. It was a sight without a parallel within the memory of the oldest inhabitant" living on this rock-bound coast, saving that ever-memorable inquest at Llanallgo, respect- ing the Royal Charter, when the same coroner had to hold an inquest on the bodies of 160 persons. Apropos of the Royal Charter, that as well as the Earl of Ches- ter, were stranded in October, and each on the night of the 26tli. Mr Hall, of Dublin, the mate's father, having come over to seek his son's body, failed to identify it in any of the dead. It must, therefore, be one of the four remaining ones not found. Duriiig a strolling ramble ho made along the beach in search of his son, he came across a coat of his son's. With what haste he examined each pocket and the lining of the garment, I need not tell the reader. He was not, however, rewarded with the object of his search, and had with a gloomy heart to return to Holyhead, to wait the dawn of Wednesday to renew his search. Within a stone's throw of the scene of the wreck of the Earl of Chester, Hugh Hughes, an old man, 79 years of age, a hardy fisherman, and father of the life- saving Evan Hughes, Cwmerran, informed our corres- pondent that he remembers other fearful shipwrecks on or close to this same spot. The Oakland foundered here 13 years ago, and many lives were lost. The schooner, Sea King, foundered, and lost four lives. Thirty-one years ago The Sarah became a complete wreck, but had all lives saved; while in the case of Jane, of Liverpool, the result was a parallel to that of the Earl of Chester- all the crew perished. The burial of the twelve bodies not yet (Wednesday) claimed, will take place this afternoon at Llanfaelog. There remains a duty. Mrs Capt. Jones, Hibernia Terrace, should be acknowledged for the sisterly kind- ness she bestowed this week as on similar occasions, to shipwrecked sailors and their captains. Mrs Penny lent a shelter for the coastguard at the scene of the wreck, and our correspondent desires us to return our best thanks to the coast guard, particularly NI artin, Lyons, and Sweeney, for the assistance they had given in arriving at correct information respecting the wreck, and likewise to Mr T. Owen, Customs-officer, for much valuable aid rendered daily throughout the week in obtaining a synopsis of news. Mr Owen, being the only Customs-officer continually on the spot, the so, briety of the hundreds that were daily near the wreck is a proof that the Customs and Underwriters had able, vii^ilaut and faithful servants. In respect to the Coast-guard force, it was ridiculously small. Only three men to take charge of wreckage, strewn thickly over a mile and a half coast, open to wreckers (if there still be any at Crigyll). Surely the Coast Guard Station at Holyhead ought to be augmented in number, and in this instance the force was divided, with fifteen miles distance, guarding two valuable wrecks on two opposite shores. LLANPAILOO, 6 A.M., FRIDAY. The awful shipwreck of the Earl of Chester on Craig y Defaid, near RhoBneigr, with its attendant still more awful and melancholy accident of the "death by suffo- cation and drowning," last Sunday morning, was follow- ed ere nightfall of the same sacred day by another at Trevadra, in the bay of Holyhead, though, happily, the twelve men composing the crew on the vessel had a very narrow escape. Ere the din of woe and distress has closed on our ears, we are called upon to record a third wreck within a quarter of a mile of the scene of the Earl of Chester. In this instance, the vessel was a brig homeward bound from Newfoundland and as if hastened by a favourable wind to be stranded, after a quick pas- sage of fourteen days only. She bore the ill-assorted name of Mountaineer," but in spite of her towering name the rocks of Crigill, and the suction of that fatal bay were too strong for her and at lOp 00, on Wed- nesday, the coastguards in charge of the wreck of the Earl of Chester, white parading along the beach, heard the quick succession of sound in a musical bell at sea, At first they were under the impression that the sound proceeded from a steamer, either passing by or in dis- tress. At the time the sea ran high. The curling waves of Rliosneigr notoriety rail with awfut sound on the beautiful beach rain, fog, and an angry wind-all united to make the prospect of the brig doubtful. Eleven men manned the ship, and the bell continued to quicken in its sound, warning those on the shore of the peril of the crew. This was not the momeut to doubt or to rest. Coastguard Sweeney, a daring and noble man belonging to the Holyhead Coastguard Station, sounded the alarm, and quicker than it rakes to write this, he manned an amateur lifeboat, which contained the fine son of the sea, Evan Hnghes, of Cwinerrau (whose exer- tions in saving life have commanded more than one leading article in leading London daily papers), W. Ro- berts, J. Roberts, D. Hughes, and Richard Jones, sons of honest Crigill families. Up on the curling waves, down in the depths below them,—this in quick succes- sion, the strong arms driving the small boat towards the vessel, they managed to go within speaking distance of ths ship. But owing to fears, the crew declined at first to attempt to land by this means, and back the brave crew went. Long shall the tale be told, How they rowed onward." While this was being done, Lyons, another active and intelligent member of the Holyhead Coastguard, had started for that town in case all means of landing by boat should prove unsuccessful, and duty lending speed, he reached the Coastguard Station at Holyhead by one o'clock in the morning; and by three o'clock, the rocket (life-saving) apparatus had reached the spot with Mr Rowe, the chief officer. Being under the impression that the crew was still aboard, bang went the gun, and off went the rocket, with the rope attached to it, which reached the vessel, and would have been successful in saving the crew, if necessary. During a lull the crew had, however, managed to come ashore in their own boats, and there ends the .tale relating to the living freight. Seal-skins, cod-liver and other oil formed the chief part of the cargo and at the time of writing this, it is doubtful whether the vessel can be made, after discharg- ing, to float away or not. Respecting the Earl of Chester, fifteen bodies have been found, leaving three still missing. Two were again buried yesterday at Llanfaelog, being J. Macdonald and James Henry Berry. The Rev. R. Williams, rector, officiated on both occasions. The Triumph is being discharged, and the goods conveyed across the bay to Holyhead, and there shipped for Liverpool. The cargo of the Earl of Chester is being conveyed per rail forTycroes Station to Liverpool, where it will be offered on sale by auction.

THE FENIAN ASSIZE. MANCHESTER, Monday. The twenty-six prisoners charged with the murder of Police Sergeant Brett on the 18th September were brought from the New Bailey Jail to the Assize Court at eight o'clock this morning under a strong escort of the 18th Hussars and the 72nd Highlanders, who re- mained on the building, though not in the Court, until the close of the proceedings. The arrangements for the maintenance of order were very complete, although no recourse was had to limiting the admission by the issue of tickets, Precisely at ten o'clock Justices Biackl urn and Mellor took their seats, and the usual formality of swearing in of the grand jury, &c., was gone through. Mr Justice Blackburn, in charging the Grand Jury, said the special cornmiesiou only iliifyrerl from an prili nary one in that it was confined to such crimes as arose out of, or related solely to, the outrage perpetrated in that county. Having described the attack on the police van, his Lorrlship said the Grand Jury would see that a variety of crimes had been committed besides the I assaulting of the police when in the execution of their duty. There were shots fired, which, although most of them did net take fatal effect, was in itself a great crime; but the chief crime was the causing the death of the policeman Charles Brett, and it was this crime which the Grand Jury would have specially to consider. He need hardly say that each of these different crimes implicated the whole of the persons charged—that the persons guilty of the crime of murder would be guilty of the other crimes yet each crime would be brought forward separately, and bills must be found in accordance with the evidence bearing on each case. But, he would re- peat, the main point was the murder of Brett. There was but one shot that was fatal, yet every one who aided in the attack was equally guilty of the crime of murder with the person who fired the shot. It was not for the Grand Jury to direct their attention to the con- sideration of which individual prisoner was guilty of that act, but whether they were convinced from the evi- dence that the prisoners were aiding in the act which resulted in the murder of Prett, although they did not individually fire the fatal shot. He must explain that it was not necessary, in order to constitute the crime of murder, that the main object should be to kill a particu- lar individual. Murder was killing by malice afore- thought," as it was called, but it was not essential that there should be the intention to kill a particular man. The law had always been so laid down, and common sense said that it must be so. When men associated for the perpetration of an unlawful act involving violence which it must be known would be dangerous to human life, if death ensued from that violence, that was the crime of murder, although there might not be the wish to kill the particular man who was slain. In the pre- sent case, the Grand Jury could not doubt that every man concerned in the act, whether in shielding those who made the attack, or actually breaking open the van, or in the act of stopping the van, was a party to the un- lawful design of rescuing those prisoners. Then the fact of the death of Brett showed that there was the in- tention to use violence. It was scarcely possible that any man could have joined in the attack in doubt as to whether resistance would be made on the part of the police. Further than that, when it was found that these parties were armed with firearms, the evidence was addi- tionally strong against them. A man did not commonly use a pistol merely to ward off a blow from himself. Its possession could therefore have only been with the intention of doing injury to others. Again, there was the fact that after the discharge of the firearms, the prisoners still continued their attack upon the police. He did not mention this as a matter of law, but as a matter of practical common sense. There were a considerable number of prisoners who were not taken on the spot, but taken at different periods afterwards. In those cases there was the possibility, of course, that the witnesses might be mistaken as to their identity; but the Grand Jury had only to consider whether the men should be put upon their trial. If they thought the evidence against any one of the prisoners was too slight, or if they were not satisfied that there was reasonable ground for putting him on his trial-then, so far as re- garded that individual, they wouid nut find a bill. It was of great importance to the prisoners, and it was also a point of great importance to the public interests, that the evidence should be dispassionately considered in each case, without either weakness in favour of the prisoners or any feeling of passion against them. The Grand Jury retired for upwards of an hour, and, on their return into Court, it appeared that they found a true bill against William O'Meara Allen, Mitchell Arkin, William Gould, Thomas M'Guire, and Edward Shore, for murder. The prisoners were then brought into the dock, and severally pleaded not guilty. They were not hand- cuffed. Upon the application of Mr Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr Serjeant O'Brien, the leading counsel for the defence, the Judges consented to a postponement of the case until next morning, in order to allow the learned counsel a little more time for consultation. Tile Grand Jury afterwards took into their considera- tion the cases of the other prisoners. On Tuesday the trial of five prisoners charged with the murder of Sergeant Brett was proceeded with. After the opening of the case for the prosecution by the Attorney-General, the examination of witnesses was commenced. In the course of the day the grand jury found true bills for murder against the remainder of the prisoners, who are divided into batches. Alternative charges of felony and of misdemeanour are preferred against all the prisoners, and the grand jury on Tuesday found true bills against all the prisoners on these charges also.—The trials are still proceeding and will last for more than a week to come,

ABERDOVEY. -I I W HECK.—The smack Favourite, of tbii port, ,ttei3, fotzn(lerz k" i ll Jenkins, bound to Greenock with slates, founder^w # | the Irish coast on the night of Saturday last, andbeoamJ| a total wreck. All hands saved. HIGH Tii)F.-On Sunday morning it was the highest tide this year. The wind blew a strong gale from the West, and brought the sea over the quay into the road. Several trucks that were on the siding which runs down to the sea were upset by the force of the waved dashing against them. The damage austailied was not very great.

ABERCORRIS. BRAss BAND.—This thriving village can boast of a very splendid brass band, chiefly composed of men who are engaged at the different slate and slab q urrries in the vicinity. They number eighteen in all, and although having only commenced training about eleven months ago, they [thy most creditably. The instruments were purchased by the men themselves, and their dresses, which are uniform, arc made of grey cloth, turned up with yellow. They paid Towyn a visit the other day by rail, and marched through the town playing lively airs, to the great delight of the inhabitants. After din- ner, they played in front of the Corbet Arms Hotel, until the time drew nigh for their departure.

LIANFAIRFECHAN. GREAT FIRE.—On Wednesday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, the inmates of the Washington Hotel, LIanfairfecinn, were startled by observing dense smoke in the house. Upon making a search it was found that a fire had broken out in the linen room on the third floor in the left wing. How the fire originated is a mys- tery. Directly the flames seized the staircase, and swept through the whole house. Au alarm was quickly given, and dozens of ardent volunteers hurried to the scene, The supply of water was deplorably small, in fact una- vailable in the absence of a fire-engine, which was not to be had at a nearer distance than seven miles. A mes- senger was at once despatched for Lord Penrhyn's engine 1 from Penrhyn Castle, and the engine arived on the spot by four o clock a.m., but by then its services were use- less. The Hotel is, or rather was, an unattached house, so that fortunately the flames were limited to their first victim, which they failed not to thoroughly gut. The inmates having had timely warning, all managed to leave the house uninjured. Praiseworthy efforts were made to save as much as possible of the etfects and stock under the superintendence of Dr. Robinson, and Ser- geant David Davies, of the Carnarvonshire police force. Mr Thomas Smith, the late landlord of the Hotel, is issured, but not fully, and his loss must be heavy, the house being the finest place of public resort in the village. Of the commodious hotel there stands nothing but the bare walls, every foot of timber having r,¡, consumed. At noon on Thursday the rubbish ww* m.. smouldering. We may also state that Mr Sui^nV<rr.d--nt Jones, and three police officers from Bangor, went .ttl the fire-engine, and did good service.

EVENING SCHOOL.IVe should be glad to see our evening classes revived for boys and young men for their mental improvement during the forthcoming winter months. INLAND RKVESCE PROMOTION-.—Mr Walter John Hunt, eldest son of Mr Adam Hunt, of this town, has been promoted from 2nd Class Assistant, Sheffield, to I st Class Assistant on Distillery, at Campbleton, Scot- land. FURTHCOMING MARKIAGE REJOICINGS.—The marriage of J. H. McConueil, Esq., of Towyn and Manchester, to Miss Tombs, of Druitwich, is to take place on the 20th November, at the latter town. The connection Mr McCoutieU has in this locality with the slate quarries at Bryneglwys, and the vast amount of money expanded by the Company to develop the resources, and the mak- ing of the TalyUyn railway, calls for some kind of re- joicings from the inhabitants on the happy event. A committee of management has been formed, and a large sum is anticipated. Besides treating all the children of the school to tea, a bountiful supply of meat, bread, aud tea will be distributed to the poor. A band of music will be in attendance, and a public dinner will take place at the Town-hall. The M.P. for the county will preside, and other manifestations of joy will bke place. THANKSGIVING SERVICES.—On Monday evening and all day on Tuesday, services were held in St. Cadvan's church. Sermons were preached and the attendances tolerably good. The church had no decorations on this occasion. IIEAV* FALL ur IWn. During S.ihmlay night there was a very heavy fall of raiu. The drains in several places got choked up, and the shop of Mr Evan Newell, at the eud of College Terrace, was inundated, there being upwards of a foot of water in the shop. Men were actively employed baling the water out on Sunday morning. The damage done is not so great as was at first anticipated.

REVIEW   -rrISII COR TRADE I BBVIB LKH&Ti|H CORNJ BADB J The weather during the past week wa. rather wet but quite f warm for several days, so as almost to diAP&rage hor.se-labour and increase the slugs; while the grass has renewed its btreoght with a piospect of a bite up to Christmas. Wheat-sowing has been proceeding, and a quick growth may be expected to ful- low the eariyptanted pieces. Farmers continuing to thrash more freely, and importations being fair, with the prospect of an open winter in the Baltic, the reaction downwards on wheat has gone further to about ;is. per qr down. With a mild season, there may still be some temporary decline but a return to cold would be calculated to stop the movement, and bring about another advance, as the week closed rather dearer for foriesrn. The want of old Engl:sh wheat continues to be felt, and this must lead to lIuJF;e I\nd rapid commmpti'ln of the late imports, and we be- lieve every sack that can be spared from the Continent wili be wanted. America can do little this year; the Battic has been do- ing its best for some time without sending enough and it is only to Russia that we can look for any amount, wh')e ports in the mildest season are fast closed in winter. Some of oar con- temporaries have anticipated an early deluge of grain on our shores others scarcely believe it is wanted; but, with all the fluc- tuations that may obtain between now and harvest, we think great efforts will have to he made towards the close of the season to meet the present enormous consumption, an I that go,t prices must be paid. Ryc on the continent has been much higher than wheat was last year, and the effects of a scarcity of this grain on the population of Germany is yet to be seen. With all the changes, no fine wheat has been procurable from Dantzic under 8A., cost and freight included, and freights have so risen at New York in consequence of orders from England, th 1t only about 40,000 qrs. wheat have been shipped, and prices finally favoured buvers. Such a supply from such a port can be considered only as trifling; and, as Paris at the week's close was recovering from the late decline, we may expect that London will soon revive, and rates be very likely to rule as high as before.
