WREXHAM. WREXHAM AND THE ATTEMPT ON THE LUB OF PRIKCE ALFRED.—At a public meeting held at the Music Hall, Wrexham, on Monday night, to consider the Irish Church question, the following resolution was, at the commencement of the proceedings, carried by acclamation That this meeting having heard with regret of the dastardly attempt to assassinate the Duke of Edinburgh, takes this opportunity to express its ab- horrence of the murderous practices of the people called Fenians, and offers its condolence to her Majesty and renews its expressions of loyalty to her person, her crown and dignity." THE IRIsn CHCRCH—A crowded and enthusiastic meeting on the Irish Church question was held at Wrexham on Monday night; Mr Charles Hughes, one of the borough magistrates, in the chair, at which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted—Pro- posed by Mr Alderman Jones and seconded by Mr R. C. Rawlins, That in the opinion of this meeting the maintenance of the Irish Church as an Establishment is unjust to the Irish people, a source of disaffection and an obstacle to the advancement of the Protestant reli- gion." Proposed by the Rev. F. Payne and seconded by Mr W. H. Darby, That this meeting expresses its em- phatic condemnation of any proposal to rectify the existing evil by the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church, and the granting of a Charter to a Roman Catholic University." Proposed by the Rev. F. B. Browne, and seconded by Mr T. E. Minshall, That the Resolutions proposed by Mr Gladstone for the disestab. lishment of the Irish Church present the only satisfac- factory solution of the question, and so far from bting unfriendly to religion would conduce-if carried out- to a further development of its life and power." Pro- posed by Mr J. H. Rawlins and seconded by Mr W. La sell, "That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to Mr Gladstone, accompanied by an expres- sion of the continued and inereasing confidence of the Liberals of Wrexham in his principles and leadership; and that a petition in accordance with the sentiments of the meeting be signed by the chairman in it s behalf, and forwarded to Colonel R. Myddelton Biddulph, M.P., for presentation." A hearty vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. We should state that before the business of the meeting commen- ced, a special resolution expressing congratulation at the escape of Prince of Prince Alfred, abhorrence of Fenian- ism, and attachment to the Queen and Royal Family, was passed amidst loud plaudits.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.-Chest Preservatives. -At all seasons of the year the rate of mortality from disease of the lungs is very great. Holloway's Ointment well nibbed upon the chest, aided by his Pills, arrests all mischief. These cleansing medicaments exercise the most salutary and restorative influence over the entire con- tents of the pectoral cavity. Air-tubes, nerves, bloc d. vessels, and all other tissues feel their wholesomely potent power, more particularly in their thoroughly purifying both venous and arterial blood, by promoting tl.e free circulation of air. Neither Ointment nor Pills contain any noxious ingredient whatever, but their bal- samic nature nourishes rather than irritates the system and kindly subdue untoward symptoms till all is well once more.

FIRES. -The Secretary of the Sun Fire Insurance Office stated to the Commons' SelcetConimitto of last sessions on fires "that carelessness in usinglucifer match- e, causes to that office a loss of 110 000 a year." Surely statements of this kind should induce the Fire Office and the public to do everything m their power to en- courage the use of Bryant and May a Patent Safety makhcs which LIGHT ONLY ON THE BOX.
I BANGOR LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
I BANGOR LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. The ordinary fortnightly meeting of this board was held on Thursday last, the 30th ultimo, when the fol- lowing members were present—Mr George Simpson, in the chair; Messrs. Thomas Lewis, Morgan Richards, and John Roberts. Mr Hardie, clerk, was also present. The Chairman read over the minutes of the previous meeting. Mr Jones's Cottages in Lotipopty.-The Clerk re- ported that Mr John Jones, who wished to build seven small cottages in Lonpobty, had sent in au altered plan of them, but there was no improvement—upon the last one. The ground at the back for a yard he could not now have, as the party had refused, he said, to bell it to him. He proposed to build four houses with two rooms each up Btairs; and three others, with only one sleeping room. Mr Morgan Richards strongly objected to the build- ing of any house whatsoever that had only one room for a sleeping apartment, as it admitted of no separation of the sexes whatever. He thought the board should throw all the obstruction in their power to prevent such houses being built. Mr Lewis and Mr Roberts fully agreed with Mr Richards on the point, but expressed themselves sorry for Mr Jones, who they were afraid had made a bad bargain; and Mr Lewis suggested that perhaps Mr Jones could reduce the number of the cottages, say from seven to five, and then he could comply with the board's require- ments. If he built larger houses he would have a better class of tenants and more rent. After a long conversation, it was unanimously agreed not to approve of the plans, as the board were deter- mined not to sanction the building of houses which had not at least two bedrooms in them. Victoria-street. -The Clerk produced a rough sketch of a plan, as a preliminary one, from Mr John Williams, Victoria-street, Upper Bangor, who asked the board to permit him to extend the front of a house which he is about to build some three feet or thereabouts. As this would be substantially no infringement upon the street, but would rather make it more straight, and uniform, Mr Williams's request was agreed to, The Beach Road. The Clerk reported that the Beach-road was nearly completed, and with the excep- tion of the slate palings on a portion of it. He said it would cost a little more than the estimate, as Mr Richards had said he thought it would. This led to a conversation respecting the men employ- ed by the board in the town. Mr Richards thought that too many men were employed for the work actu- ally done, and that the ratepayers paid far more than they received. It was necessary to curtail the ordinary expenses of the board in some way, for every job some- how always costs more than the estimate, and the conse- quence was that they were always deficient at the end of the year,—and at the last audit they were X300 be- hind, and this would continue unless they checked and reduced their expenditure. He did not see why the number of men should not be reduced during the sum- mer months, because the ordinary work consisted of cleaning the streets, and in this season of the year, and during dry .weather, two men could do as much work as six or seven in the winter. He did not believe the men did as much work as they ought to do, and he had taken particular notice of them during the past month. The Clerk replied that the men had been reduced to four, and, if the board wished it, they could be still fur- ther reduced, but they should require three men to attend to the lighting of the lamps. Mr Lewis and Mr Roberts were much of the opinion of Mr Richards; but the matter was adjourned to the next meeting, as by that time the Beach-road will be finished, and Mr Hardie could then state better and more positively the lowest number of men which he can manage with. The Gas.—Mr D. White applied personally for a cheque for the last account due from the board to the gas company, and wished to know whether there were any objections to the bill ? The Clerk replied there were not any but the pay- ment had been deferred because the account was only due ou the 31st of March, and the board was not very flush of money. The Chairman intimated that the matter would be attended to by the board. Mr White then introduced the subject of the gas burners, and complained that Mr Hardie had made a statement which had gone to the public that the new regulators would only consume 4.38 inches per hour, whereas he was certain they would burn five inches. He thought it very strange for the Clerk to have made such a statement. They should remember that the amount of gas burned in a given time depended in some measure upon the specific gravity of the gas supplied, and it was different in towns. The Clerk replied that he had not personally tested the burners; but he had gleaned the information from a printed book published by the maker of the burneis. It was agreed, at last, that Mr White and Mr Hardie should meet and test the burners, and Mr White was allowed to take one home with him to test at his leisure. The Clerk reported that the whole of the gas burners, 120 in number, had arrived; but they would not be used during the ensuing summer, as they would not be required. the Recreation Grounds.—A conversation of some length then took place in reference to the Bangor Recreation Grounds, and the works which were being carried out on the side of the mountain. It was stated that the matter had been entirely taken out of the hands of the board, and that they did not know what plan Mr W. Pritchard had decided upon, nor whether Mr Boston, whom he employed, was working upon a plan or without one; that as the board was responsible for the grounds to Lord Penrhyn as the owner of them, and to the townspeople whom they represented, they ought to be acquainted with the plan, and more parti- cularly Lord Penrhyn, their chairman, who besides being the owner of the mountain and the chairman of the board, had subscribed ze50 towards carrying out the necessary works. After a good deal of talk on this subject, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously passed—That the Clerk be directed to write to Mr W. Pritchard, and to respect- fully ask him to submit his plans of laying out the Recreation Grounds, that such plans may be forwarded by the board to Lord Penrhyn, their chairman also to ask Mr Pritchard whether it be his intention to relieve the board from every responsibility, as to the expenses of laying out the same. The board then broke up.
MR. GLADSTONE AND THE RITUALISTS.…
MR. GLADSTONE AND THE RITUALISTS. I The following is a copy of a letter which Mr Glad- I stone has sent to the papers SIR,—Though reluctant to attempt any encroachment I on your space with reference to personal matters, I feel that I have no alternative at a time when personal charges, however irrelevant, are employed as the means of injuring or impeding a great cause. Within the last fortnight, or thereabouts, the follow- ing statements, purporting to be of fact, have been assiduously circulated respecting me in different parts of the countrv:- 1. That when in Rome I made arrangements with the Pope to destroy the Church Establishment in Ire- land, with some other like matters, being myself a Roman Catholic at heart. 2. That during and since the Government of Sir Robert Peel I have resisted and (till now) prevented the preferment of Dr Wynter. 3. That I have publicly condemned all support to the clergy of the three kingdoms from church or public funds. 4. That when at Balmoral I refused to attend her Majesty at Crathie church. 5. That I have received the thanks of the Pope for my proceedings respecting the Irish Church. 6. That I am a member of a High Church Ritualist congregation. Aware how in times of public excitement rumour grows and gathers, through the combined action of eagerness, credulity, and levity, I will not bestow a single harsh word upon any of these statements. Neither will I advert to the cause to which some of them may be due, for I arp determined to avoid, as long as it may be possible, envenoming a great political con- troversy, and what I think a noble cause, with the ele- ments of religious bigotry and hatred. But I will in the first place, declare that these statements, one and all, are untrue, in letter and in spirit, from the beginning to the end. And since it is impossible for me to continue en- tangled as I have recently been in the searches and cor- respondences which such fictions entail, I venture to re- quest all persons whatsoever that may be interested in the matter, if any like statements should hereafter come under their view, in the interest of truth to withhold their belief. To more vague and general charges this is not the place to refer I have the honour to be, sir, Your faithful servant, W. E. GLADSTONE. 11, Carlton House-terrace, April 24.)

Ex-Governor Eyre, in opposition to the statement of Sir R. Collier, who conducted the recent proceedings against him at Bow-street, writes to say that he had never at- tempted to conceal his address. The excuse which Sir K. Collier made for delaying the prosecution so long was that Mr Eyre could never be got within jurisdiction but the Ex-Governor gives a detailed history of his movements since his return from Jamaica, and shows that immediately on arriving in England he was a whole month in London, that he was again in the metropolis in II May and June of last year, and that his address in the country has been always well known. He admits that he declined to come up to London this time last year in order to meet the views of the Jamaica Committee.
I CARNARVON. I
I CARNARVON. I The Royal Visit has evidently waked up the good old town of Carnarvon to "new life," and the whole of the present week has been virtually devoted to festive proceedings," with the exception of Monday, which was a quiet day." The old Castle with its pavilion, and the Princess s Drawing Room" has been visited by thousands from all parts of the country aud even the Fountain-the triumph of Mr Davids and Mr Bugbird —has been an object of special attraction since it became known that his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, playfully squirted cold water" upon the enthusiastic and loyal subjects of her Majesty present at the open- ing, and which caused the Princess and everyone else who was not personally treated to the unexpected shower-bath, to laugh consumedly." Carnarvon has always had its ancient fame-henceforth it will possess aj modern history. There is a bright lining to every cloud however sombre and dark, and we are glad that the full sunshine at last has burst upon this famous old town. TUESDAY. Our notice of the week's proceedings must be brief, as the space to be devoted to one town is but limited. In order to commemorate the Royal Visit, and also, as stated by the Mayor, to celebrate the successful termi- nation of the war in Abyssinia, a popular entertainment was given within the Castle, in the Royal Banquet Hall, arrangements having been made with the con- tractors by the committee for the use of the pavilion for a series of entertainments during the week. The chair was taken by the Rev. J. C. Vincent, who delivered an eloquent and interesting address, in which he congratulated the town on the great success which attended the reception given by the inhabitants of Wales to their Royal Visitors. The hall, we are glad to say, was well attended, as there were above 6e0 persons present. The idea of giving a popular entertainment" was not broached until late on Monday, when Mr Llewelyn Rees, oue of the local secretaries, took the matter up so warmly and energetically that he succeeded in making all the ar- rangements early on the same evening, and on Tuesday morning the programme was printed and circulated in the town. Mr Davids and others, likewise took an active part in this matter. The entertainment was in every respect most credit- able and successful, and did honour to the literary and musical talent of the town. We cannot give details, but the following ladies and gentlemen kindly gave their services on the occasion Mr C A Jones, Mr Thomas Turner, Miss F E Rees, Dr Kirk, Messrs. J T Williams, Vaughan, Jones, and Hayden, Rev. J S Boucher, Mr C Hayden, Mr Llewelyn Turner (mayor), the Misses Green and Margaret Jones, Mr R J Davids, Mrs J T Williams, Mr It C Williams (London), Rev. E Evans, Sergeant Major Harwood, Miss Hughes (Pwllheli), and Captain G T Picton Jones. The baud of the Carnarvonshire Rifle Volunteers were also in attendance, and played magnifi- cently. The above well-known names are in themselves a guarantee of the high character of the treat. In the evening, the front of the Castle was bril- liantly illuminated, and hundreds of persons visited the square to witness it. WEDNESDAY. On this day, the Local (or rather an independent) Committee treated all the children of the schools in the town, including that of the workhouse, and all the old and poor men and women to a nice tea in the Royal BaiiquettiDgIROOM, the number being upwards of 1,500. Plum-cake was in abundance; and each child on leaving the Castle was presented with an orange, as a parting present. We may also state that the remains" of the tea were given to the poor people at the Castle gate, by Mr G. Thomas, flour dear, Castle Square, who deserves special praise for the kind energy he showed on the occasion. On the evening of this day, the Fountain in the Square was illuminated with coloured lights, under the superintendence of Mr Davids aud Mr Bugbird, and the effect was beautiful beyond description. There was a stitf gale blowing at the time, which scattered the spray in all directions, and to a distance beyond the top of Bridge-street. The light upon the globulous particles of mist was extraordinarily fine, and showed all the colours of the rainbow, and elicited immense cheering. The Prin- cess herself would have been delighted had she been pre- sent to witness the brilliant effect. THURSDAY. I On this day the Gala Week" in Carnarvon was celebrated by two distinct entertainments, namely, aquatic sports, and a miscellaneous concert, and both were decidedly successful affairs. Mr R. Rowlands, wine merchant, was appointed by the managing committee as the steward of the aquatic sports, and by his tact and energy he fully justified the confidence and trust reposed in him. In fact the sports" were a regatta upon a small scale, and the promenade pier was crowded almost as much as at the annual regatta. The following is a brief account of the results :— Amateurs' Four-oared Race. Lily of the Vale, Coxswain Buckingham 1 Pride of the Menai, Coxswain Williams 2 Only these two competed. The distance was over two miles and after a good race the Lily came in a winner by about five boats lengths. Prize for Boats. Hebeiddysgwyl, Girffiths I Pioneer, Lloyd 2 In, Lloyd. 3 Heats. Won easily by the Unexpected." Scullers Match. Henry Pai-ry I Henry Morris 2 This was a capital and well contested race throughout, and caused a good deal of excitement. Finally Parry came in the winner by about twenty yards. Prize for Sailing Buats. First prize, 15s; second, 10s; third, os. Seagull came in the winner, having beaten two com- petitors after a first-class race. Tivo-oareti Match, with Coxswains. Alexandra, Buckingham 1 Helen, Philip Davies 2 This race was also a well-contested one. A Duck Hunt terminated the sports. The band of the Carnarvonshire Volunteers attended, and played a number of airs during the day, in their usual excellent style. The concert took place in the Royal Banquetting Hall, and was commenced a little after eight o'clock in the evening. The large hall was filled to overflowing, and the entertainments were of a character to delight every one who was present. The first part consisted of an independent concert given by the members of the Carnarvon Philharmonic Society, under the leadership of Mr W. Hayden, and they acquitted themselves admirably throughout. Mr C. Jones particularly, was in good voice, and Mr Hayden accompanied with great taste and judgment. Miss M. A. Uwen, as the prima," also sang with much precision and skill, two songs. The following was the pro- gramme :— Duett—' The Gipsey Countess'—Mi»i M. A. Owen, and Mr C. Jones. Glee-' Come let us all a Maying go'—Philharmonic Society. Song—' The Stirrup Cup'—Mr C. Jones. Giee— From Oberon in Fatry Land'—Philharmonic Society. Song—' The Arab's Farewell to his Steed'—Miss M. A. Owen. Glee-' Rule Britannia- Philhannonic Society. The second part consisted of an entertainment given by the Carnarvon Ethiopian Minstrels, and we must say they never acquitted themselves better. The cast' was more effective than at Bangor; and the acting, sing- ing, and joking, were of a character, and in astyle which we have but seldom seen surpassed by the best troupe of professionals. The singing of Mr C. A. Jones, and Mr J. L. Williams was good, and elicited well-deserved ap- plause. The local and other original jokes caused im- mense laughter. The following was the role:- Overture—Company. Song-' Taploca'- Mr J. G. Roberts, Song-' Break it gently to my mother'—Mr A. Sloan. Song—'Julietta Bell'-lIIr R. L. Jones. Song-' Dandy Jim'—Mr J. C. Roberts. Song-' Lilly of the Vale'—Mr J. L. Williams. Song-' Kiss but never tell'—Mr C. A Jones. Clog Dance—Mr A Sloan. Song—' Railway Explosion'—Company. "God Save the Queen." FRIDAY. I Yesterday (Friday) the "week" was kept up by Athletic Sports within the old Castle, which was crowd- ed by persons from the town and neighbourhood—the sports taking place under the patronage of the Royal Reception Committee. The stewards were—M r T. P. Williams Ellis, Mr W. Hayward, and Mr C. Pearson, Mr R. J. Davids acting as judge. The following races came off during the day :—loO yards race; quarter-mile race steeple race walking match (four times round the hill); race for boys under the age of fifteen; throwing a 321b shot, three throws; pole leaping; long jump; high jump; horizontal bar exercise; aud parallel bar exercise. The majority of these prizes were well contested, and the sports altogether were good. On Saturday (this day) the week's festivities will be concluded by a popular entertainment at a trifling charge for entrance. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The first meeting of the guardians for this year was he]d at the Workhouse on Saturday last. Guardians present— Richard Hughes, Esq., in the chair; and Messrs Ellis Griffith William Jones, Clynnog J. W. Stephens; Griffith Parry Thomas Richardson Richd. Griffiths, Llanfaglen; Robert Jones, Hafodycoed; Hugh Hughes; Owen Jones; Evan Evans; William Jones, Llanllyfni; Hugh Jones; John Griffith; William Hum- phreys William Owen Robert Jones, Tyddynbadin Samuel Jones, Glandinorwig William Hughes; David Jones Hugh Thomas; Robert Roberts, Llangaffo; aud Robert Lewis. The Clerk having read the return of guardians duly elected, and informed the guardians that their first duty would be to elect a chairman for the ensuing year, Mr Samuel Jones, Glandinorwig, rose and said, that it behoved them to have for chairman a gentleman who had experience in the work, and whose assistance would be valuable to them; moved by these considerations he proposed for their acceptance in that capacity Mr Richard Hughes, of Bodowyr (the principal vice-chair- man for last year.) Mr Griffith Parry having seconded the proposition, it was unanimously affirmed. Mr Hughes acknowledged the honour they paid him, and eulogized the conduct of Mr Robert Jones, Hafod- ycoed, whom he thought for many reasons they should have appointed as chairman of the board. On the motion of Mr Richardson, seconded by Mr Hugh Thomas, Mr Jones, Hafodycoed, was appointed vice-chairman. And on the motion of Mr John Griffith, seconded by Mr Robert Jones, Tyddynbadin, Mr Samuel Jones, Glandinorwig, was appointed the other vice-chairman. The precedence as vice chairman was accorded to Mr Robert Jones. Miss Hughes, the schoolmistress, who has not fully recovered her health, was allowed a further fortnight's leave of absence. The Poor-Law Board having required the usual minute to be entered on the record of the proceedings of the guardians, stating why they re appointed Dr Foster to his district, he not residing in it, instructions were given to the clerk to comply with their request, the reasons being the same as actuated the guardians in first ap- pointing him. Orders were given to inform the valuer of the Llan- beris Railway Company that the Guardians were nut deposed to take less for the portion of the workhouse land which the company required, than the sum origin- ally proposed. The Assessment Committee for the year was appoint- ed, and a small amount of other business gone through, when the meeting dissolved, and the guardians hastened to witness the reception given to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. I COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS. These weekly sessions were held on Saturday last, April the 25th, before the following magistrates :— Canon Wynne Williams, J. C.

These sessions for the town of Carnarvon was held on Monday last, the 27th ultimo, before the following ma- gistrates :—His Worship the Mayor, and Owen Jones, Esq. A Batch of Pickpockets.—Six men and two women, from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, known to the police of those towns as professional thieves, and who had attended Carnarvon on Saturday to do a little "busiuess," were brought up before the bench, they having been put in the lock-up on Saturday last, as a preventive measure. As, however, there was nothing new to be laid to their charge, they were all discharged on their promising to leave the town immediately. They were recognised in Carnarvon by detectives from the towns enumerated above as members of the pickpoc- ketting fraternity generally follow in the wake of the Prince of Wales. There was no other case for hearing and the Mayor congratulated the town on the absence of drunkenness during the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, which he said was a very creditable thing.
DENBIGH.
DENBIGH. THE IRISH CIIORCH.—It is rumoured that a private meeting of liberals was held last week in some nook in Denbigh, to discuss the Irish Church question, and it was unanimously resolved to "get up steam" for a public meeting in support of Mr Gladstone's resolutions. Tpis project, however, broke down, through want of courage, or want of strength but the private agents canvassed the town for signatures to a petition in favour of separating the Church and State in Ireland. The parish clerk was amongst the supporters of the petition, having, it is said, been duped by an assurance that its object was to give a death-blow to Roman Catholicism. THE IMILITIA.-The Denbighshire Militia assembled in this town on Monday last, for 27 days' training. The regiment is 460 Strang, and appears in excellent con- dition. The officers in command are,—Major Sir Robert Cualiffe, (the High Sheriff of Denbighshire) Capt. Hughes. Capt. Birch, Capt. Williams, Capt. Bar- ker, Capt. M'Coy, and Surgeon Heaton. The Colonel (R. Myddleton Biddulph, Esq., M.P.), we regret to state is prevented by indisposition to appear at his post, but it is confidently expected that he will be able to arrive here shortly.
IDOLGELLEY. I
DOLGELLEY. A FATAL ACCIDENT.—A young man of the name of Pemberton, whose father is a ganger on the Bala and Dolgelley Railway, was killed on Thursday morning last, near Ithydymain, while at work on the above rail- way. He was accidentally struck on his head by a windlass, and killed on the spot. PETTY SESSIONS, Tuesday, April 21st, before L. Wil- liams, Esq., and Col. Bunbury, C.B. Larceny.-Edward Edwards, a labourer, a native of this neighbourhood, was charged by P.S. Jones with -rty of Mr William stealing one sack of oats, the property of Mr William Jones, corn merchant, Dolgelley, on the 16th inst. Mr William Jones said he had received home twenty- four sacks of oats, and all but three, which were sold, were taken into his warehouse. They were all safe there late in the afternoon of Thursday last. On Friday merning, from some information he had received, he went there and found that one of the number was missing. He could not swear that he had locked the door and taken the key home with him on Thursday. He believed he had. The key was found in the door of the warehouse on Friday morning. It might have been left in the door by him, or it might have been taken from its accustomed place in his shop, where it was kept, by some one else. The prisoner was in the habit of attending on him occasionally. He made enquiries after the missing sack, and found that Robert Lloyd, smith, had bought a sack of oats on the previous evening from the prisoner, and from the marks on the sack he believed it was the one he had lost. Edward Roberts said that he was standing about eight o'clock on Thursday evening last in Street Fach, and saw the prisoner coming from the direction of Penucha'rdre, where William Jones's warehouse is, with a sack on his back. He went in the direction of Bontfawr. Robert Lloyd said that prisoner brought a sack of oats to his house on Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, asking him to buy it. He said he was selling it for some one from Llanegryn, who wanted to dispose of it that night. He asked 15s for it, and would take part of the money that night and the remainder on the following day before the man went home. He bought the sack from him, and paid him 10s as part payment, according to the agreement. John Davies said he lived at Eglwysfach, Cardigan- shire. He had sold twenty-four sacks of oats a short time ago to Mr William Jones. He did not sell any oata to any one else nearer Dolgelley than Corris. He could easily identify the sack produced, and had no hesitation to say that it was his property. He be- lieved it was one of the lot he had sold to Mr William Jones. Prisoner was committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions,
I _BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Thursday, April 30th-The following guardians were present:-L Willianisi, Esq., ex-oflicio, presiding chairman; Col. Bunbury, C.B.; Rev. John Jones, and M T Pughe, Esq., M-officios; Messrs D Jones, W Jones, H Roberts and Rev. E Lewis, Dolgelley Robt. Williams and Richard Williams, Llanaber; Richard Jones, Llanddwyeuwcb; John Edwards, Llanegryn; Owen Owens, Llanfihangel; D E Kirkhy, Llangelynin; W Jones Llanymawddwy; Robert Jones, and John Breese, Mallwyd; John Jones, Talyllyn; and W M Williams, Llanenddwyn. Medical Officer of Workhouse.—Several of the guar- dians called attention to the fact that the Medical-officer did not appear at the last board in compliance with the request of the guardians, to answer to an alleged neglect in attending some sick paupers. Tn answer to a question, the Master said that the pauper who charged him with neglect had left the house in a few days afterwards, and that she was not very sick at the time. Several of the guardians expressed their dissatisfaction with the officer's conduct in not attending the board to offer some ex- planation. Although the neghct alleged might be trill. iug, still, he did not show proper respect to the guardians as their officer, aud they wished to have his attention called to the matter. Maintenance of Parents.—X letter was read from Mr Ellis Roberts, stating that his circumstances at present were very bad owing to the state of business in the country, and requesting to be excused from contributing towards the maintenance of his mother until some more favourable opportunity. The guardians thought as he had for many years legularly contributed, that he should not be called upon to pay anything for the next six months. The case of Jane Owen, a widow, was mentioned, who had been receiving relief for many years. It was men. tioned that her eldest son had now come to live to Glan. llwyuyforwyn, in this Union, and that he was the owner of it. It was decided that he should be at once called upon to contribute. Collector of Lhcyngwril.—X letter was read from this collector informing the board that Mr John Williams, of Tynewydd, late of Cefnfeusydd, had signified his wil- lingness to become his surety in connection with Mr David Jones, instead of the late Mr Thomas Owen, Borthwen. The board at once accepted him. Collector of Ilanaber.-A letter had been received from the Poor Law Board, calling attention to the fact that no collector of rates lwas to have in bayid a larger balance monthly than X5.

ILLANDUDNO. I
LLANDUDNO. I ROYAL VISIT TO CARNARVON.—A special meeting of the Llandudno Improvement Commissioners was held at the board room, on Friday, the 24th ult., to appoint a member of the board to accompany the chairman to truarvon, on Saturday, to join in the procession, a? .ired by the Carnarvon Reception Committee. Present —Messrs R Hughes, T Parry, W Pritchard, W Wil Iiams, and R Price Mr Parry iu the chair. The Clerk laid before the meeting a telegram from Carnarvon, and a letter which had been received by W F Chapman, Esq, from the Reception Committee at Carnarvon, asking for a copy of the Commissioners' seal to affix to the national address which was to be presented to their royal highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also requesting to know the name of a member of the board to accompany the chairman in the procession. On the motion of Mr Pritchard, seconded by Mr Hughes, Mr Parry was appointed, his assent being given to the appointment. MARKET HALL.—The directors of the Market-hill Company having advertised for tenders from persons desirous of renting the market-hall for one year, from May 1st, 1868, met on Monday, April 27, to receive and open the tenders, and to accept the one approved of by them. The following tenders were sent in :—Llandudno Improvement Commissioners, X281 Mr John Husted, Bangor Market, £ 291; Mr John Jones, Llandudno £ 292. The latter tender, being the highest, was accep- ted. The market-hall has now for several years been rented by Mr John Jones, and during that period the greatest satisfaction has been given, not only to the tenants of the stalls in the market, but also to the in- habitants and visitors who have bad occasion to attend at the market; and the town is to be congratulated that the old and tried lessee, Mr Jones, is again the tenant of the market-hall, as he will afford another opportunity of proving that order, cleanliness, and strict attention to the wants of those who frequent the place cannot but secure that support which has hitherto been so liberally accorded to the stall holders. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE DUKE Of EDINBURGH.— The news of the dastardly attempt to asansaintite his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was received with feelings of horror and indignation in the town on Monday last. The enormity of the crime was aggravated by the universal estimation in which he was held by all classes of her Majesty's subjects on account of his per- sonal virtues, and great sympathy was felt for his Royal mother, who must have suffered since the in. telligence of the atrocious crime, and for the maternal anxiety which she must feel until his arrival in his native land assured her and her loving subjects that all danger was past. A requisition was immediately signed by five of the Commissioners authorizing a meeting of the board to be called to agree upon an address of con- dolence to her most gracious Majesty the Queen on the dastardly attempt made on the life of his Royal High- ness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, in Australia. There were present at the meeting the following mem- bers—Messrs J B Evans, L Parry, A Price, Thos. Jones, and Geo. Brooks. A letter was read from Mr Chapman, stating his regret that his indisposition prevented him from being present, and most cordially concurring in the objects of the meeting, and it was impossible (he wrote) for any Briton to read the news without a feeling ef horror and detestation at such a dastardly act. Mr Thos. Jones was then appointed to the chair, and on the motion of Mr Evans, seconded by Mr Brooks, the following address prepared by the Clerk was unanimously approved of and adopted. To Her most Gracious Majesty the Queen. "May it please your Majesty—We, the Improvement Commissioners of the town of Llandudno, in the county of Carnarvon, beg leave most humbly to approach in terms of fervent loyalty your Majesty and the throne. We have with great horror and regret and indigna- tion read the account of the gross and wicked attempt at assassination on your Majesty's royrfl son, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, in Australia. While we deprecate this cowardly and dastardly attack on His Royal Highness, we beg to offer to your Majesty our most profound and united sympathy, and condolence under the trying circumstances and to ex- press a hope that it may please Almighty God to pre- serve your Majesty and every member of the Royal Family with a long and happy life. Given under our seal at a special meeting of the board, held on the first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight."

LLANSAINTFFRAID-GLYN-DYFRDWY. RESTORATION OF THE CIIURCii.-Througli the muni- fioence of Mrs Lloyd, of Rhaggat, the old church at Llansaintffraid has been thoroughly renovated and made one of the handsomest and most comfortable country churches in the Principality. A beautiful new chancel has been added, and the old gallery at the west eud taken down. The east window is of chaste stained glass, and the north and south chancel windows of best cathedral glass. The chancel stalls, roof, and commu- nion table of English oak, are erected in correspondence with the old building—the early Euglish erected in 1465. The flooring of the chancel and nave is very tastefully laid with Goodwin's and Broseley tiles. The expense of the whole of the alterations, amounting to some XI,100, is the munificent gift of Mrs Lloyd, of Rhaggat, one of the chancel windows bearing the fol. I lowing inscription To the glory of God and in I memory of John Lloyd, Rhat-gat, who died May 22nd, f 1K65, this chancel was erected by his widow." About twelve months ago the same lady, at her own expense, erected a commodious school at Llawr-y bettws, uear Llansaintffraid.
ILLANEGRYN.
LLANEGRYN. In our obituary of this week is recorded the demise of two who have for many years been connected with the parish church—Mr Lewis Hartley, paiish clerk, and Mr R. H. Owen, assistant master at the free school. Mr Hartley's funeral took place on Saturday, and was followed by a large number of relatives and friends to his last resting place. That of Mr Owen took place on Tuesday, and although the rain came down in torrents, ithad not the least effect in deterring any to show their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The service at both funerals was full choral, conducted by the Rev. G. Arthur Jones, M.A., incumbent.

Stealing Railway licktts.-A young man named P. L. Owens was brought rip on remand, charged with stealing a number of old railway tickets from the book- ing-office at the'Rhyl station. Fred. Ashton, ticket collector, stated that the prisoner had entered the booking-office as his friend, and soon after his departure he found the tickets missing. Wit- ness traced the prisoner to Trefuant, where he was apprehended and the tickets redeemed. Mr Thomas, the postmaster, gave the prisoner a good character. The prisoner oonfessed to the offence, but added that he was labouring at the time under the influence of intoxicating drink. He elected to be summarily tried, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Mr Dixon expressed his regret at the prisoner's posi- tion, and said he would communicate with the governor of the gaol, to request that he should be kept aloof from the ordinary class of criminals, to avoid the contamina- tion of their company.

The lady accompanists, who performed their part in the most tasteful and accomplished manner, were Mrs Sturkey, Mrs Arden, and Mias Mann. Although the whole programme was delightfully executed we were particularly pleased with Miss Dorah Townshend's chaste style of singing and her brilliant and beautiful soprano voice, with Mrs Dickenson's full and powerful contralto, and with the easy graceful singing of Miss Keid, and Miss Mann, in their duett. Mrs Arden's voice was also very effective in the two trios. The charming and ela- borate performances of Mrs P. Browne and Mrs Preston on the pianoforte, were most warmly applauded. Much praise is also due to the conductor, Eos Bradwen, for the precision and the strict observance of the "lights and shades in the choruses and part songs. The res- pected President, the Rev. Mr Hicks Owen, M.A., who is a thorough lover of good music, and most zealous in the interests of the society, gave out in his usual clear manner, the different pieces as they occurred on the pro- gramme which added much to the completeness of the performance. Before singing the finale, the President made a short but most telling speech regarding the Prince of Wales's visit to Carnarvon Castle, which we are sorry our space will not admit of being fully reported, and concluded with a recital of some beautiful lines written on the birth of the first Prince of Wales, in 1284. R. Vaughan Williams, Esq., proposed a vote of thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of the society which brought this most agreeable entertainment to a close. Among those who patronised the concert, were the Lord Bishop, Lady Williams and party, Mrs Mostyn and party, R. Vaughan Williams, Mrs Williams and party, R. J. Jasson and Mrs Sisson, Rev. J.

PRINCELY GIFT.—Wo have much pleasure in stating that after the magnificent reception given to the Prince and Princess of Wales in Carnarvon on Saturday last, Lord Peurhyn sent a cheque to Mr R. J. Davids, the secretary of the General Committee, for X200, as a per- sonal mark of his appreciation of the successful efforts of the local and general committees on the auspicious occasion. VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO CARNARVON.—On the occasion of the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Carnarvon, Mr John Meyrick Jones, Welsh tweed cloth, and Welsh linsey manufac- turer, Dolgelley, had the honour, through the kind services of the Mayor of Carnarvon, of presenting to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, a most handsome baud loom real Welsh linsey poplin dress, of Mr Meyrick Jones's own manufacture. The Priucess seemed to ap- preciate the appropriate gift, and will, no doubt, after the fatigue of the journey, sit down to examine the splendid specimen of Welsh manufacture. This will, we are sure, give an impulse to the trade in Wales, and Wales has to thank Mr Meyrick Jones for his consider- ation. MALICIOUSLY POISONED, on Monday last, Don, a painter dog, belonging to Vernon Darbishire, Esq., of Glanycoed, Conway, winner of the 1st prize at Birming- ham, 1803; Champion ditto, ditto, 1864; 1st ditto, Dublin, IStil; 4th ditto Agricultural Hall, London, 1864; Champion Medium Prize, Birmingham, 1865. CONCERT Dr THE BANGOR CHORAL SOCIETY.—The concluding concert for the season came off with great eclat in the Penrhyn Hall, Bangor, on Thursday even- ing last. The singing and playing, we are happy to state, did full justice to the energy and instruction of their talented conductor, Mr Landergan. The reserved Beats were quite full, and not a place was to be had in them; but we are sorry to say that the second seats were nearly empty—owing, no doubt, in great measure to the unfavourable state of the weather. The day which was line in the morning turned out wet in the evening. The concert opened with a spirited perform- ance on the piano by Miss Dew, accompanied by Mr Landergan on the harmonium. A chorus entitled Lift up yum- heads" was then sung by the choir. A solo by Misa Hopson But the Lord is mindful of his Own," was next sung in a pretty manner, eliciting quite a storm of applause from the audience, who were not content till an encore was performed. How lovely are the messengers" was next sung by the choir in a most effective manner; the solo part being taken by Miss Hopson. The Rev. Lewis Jones then favoured the audience with a solo If with all your hearts," which did him great credit. The solo and chorus entitled The marvellous work" by Haydn, was rendered very nicely indeed by the choir, the solo being taken by Miss Ingram, who was greeted with a hearty encore by the audience. An interval of ten iiiiutite.; having elap- sed, the second part commenced with the overture 1, Zivapa", which was very well played indeed by Miss Dew, accompanied by Mr Landergan as before after which fallowed a Welsh melody by Mr John Richards. The Curfew" glee was then sung by the Misses Hopson and Mr Richards; after which Mr John Hughes sang the Battle of the Baltic," in first-rate style. lie was loudly encored, and then gave the audience the remaining verses of the piece. "1 he Slave's dream" was omitted owing to the absence of one of, the members who was to have sung it. The Rev. Lewis Jones, on being asked, kindly consented to sing Llwyn Onu" as a substitute, which he did in a highly creditable manner; and at the con- clusion was loudly encored. A duett by the Misses Ingram then followed after which Miss Roberts sang Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" in Welsh, in beautiful style. She was loudly c,iicoi-(I, and then sang the same song in English. This youllg lady has a splendid voice and with careful training would make a first-class singer. The last piece and chorns entitled The Cavnovale was magnificently rendered by the cnoir, ana elicited great applause; and nothing would satisfy the aud- ience, but that it should be sung over again. We must say, in conclusion, that all who did not attend lost an opportunity of spending a ddighful eveuing in innocent pleasure. Again we must reiterate that the concert and the manner in which the pieces were sung does infinite credit to their conductor, Mr Landergan under whose auspices the society was first formed last November. So great a measure of success having attended the soci- ety, we hope Mr Landergan will be induced to continue it during the summer; in order that the public may have an opportunity of spending a few agreeable even- ings, such ao the one on Thursday night last. REPORT OF THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS.—The re- port of the Boundary Commissioners has just been published for the Carnarvon district, which consists of the contributary boroughs of Carnarvon, Bangor, Criccieth, Conway, Nevin and Pwllheli. The population in 1861 was 2,9U7. The number of eloctors in 1861 after deducting double entries was 1,070. In 1866, the total number of male occupiers was 4,109, of whom 3,031 were at a rental of below JJIO. The Commissioners do not recommend any exteusion of the existing boundary in Carnarvon. In reference to Bangor, they recommend that Upper Bangor, and the hamlets of Glan Adda and Penchwintan be added to the borough. They do not recommend any extension of the existing boundary of Conway but tlu y suggest that a number of houses (indicated) be added to Criccieth. X evin not to be ex- tended, and as it regards Pwllheli, the Commissioners observe that the additions made to the borough in 1832 still allow sullicient room for any probable extension of the town, and they do not in consequence recommend anyextension of the present boundary. The only alterations therefore of any moment are to be to the Borough of Bangor. THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS COMPANY.—The report of the directors of the Cambrian Railways Company pre- pared for presentation to the shareholders at the half- yearly meeting to be held to-day, states that in accord- ance with the understanding come to at the last half- yearly meeting, the board tiled a scheme in Chancery, under the provisions of the railway companies act, 1S67, for the purpose of effecting an arrangement between the company and their creditors, and to adjust the affairs of the company generally. The scheme has so far succeed- ed as to prevent the serious consequences which vv?ul? have resulted from a large number of suits and actions brought against the company at the instance of landown- ers and others, principally on the coast section. It was necessary, however, in the interests of the company, to apply to the court for authority to raise the sums of A:ioo,ooo and £ 47,300 as a first charge upon the profits of the company, to discharge the claims of landowners and other creditors, and to provide for the replacement of funds diverted from revenue, and the completion of woi-ks on the line. CARNARVONSHIRE RAILWAY.—We beg to call the at tention of our readers to the Carnarvonshire Railway Time Table in our Railway Guide for May, which we were compelled to print before the official time table of the company came to hand. We find that several alter- ations have been made in the running of the trains, and therefore, some of the columns in the Guide are incor- rect. The following are the alterationsThe third up" train leaves Carnarvon at 3 10 p.m., instead of 1 25 Llanwuda, 3 15 Groeslon, 3 20 l'enygroes, 3 25* Brynkir, 3 37 Chwilog, 3 46; Afonwen, 3 55; Pwllheli, 4 49 Criccieth, 4 5; Portmadoc, 4 18; Pen-I rhyndeudraeth, 4 27 Barmouth Junction, 5 14 Mach- ynlleth, 6 30 arriving at Aberystwyth, 5 55. Also, the third down" train runs as followsAberystwyth, 1 0 p.m.; Machynlleth, 2 5 Barmouth Junction, 3 6; Penrhyndeudraeth, 41; Portmadoc, 4 18; Criccieth, 4 81; Afonwen, 4 39; Pwllheli, 3 45 Afonwen, dep., 4 42 Chwilog, 4 47; Brynkir, 5 2 Penygroes, 5 17; Groeslon, 5 2J Llanwnda, 5 30; arriving in Carnarvon at 5 35. The S 0 a.m. Aberystwyth train departs from Penrhyndeudraeth at 10 55, and arrives in Carnarvon at 10 35 p.m. We trust that the company, for the sake of the public generally, will issue their tables in future a few day, prior to their coming into operation, as is always done by the other railway company. This would save a great deal of irritation, and would be of material benefit to both parties. The following are amongst the latest arrivals at the Marine Hotel, Holyhead :-John G.
