In your last iuipreoaiori A Voter' and W in. Johnson, 31. A." disemburden themselves of grievauces hardly surpassed by those of the defeated candidates for Car- narvonshire and its boroughs. The worshipful dean as retuiniug oiffcer, and yourself a" reporter of the pro- ceedings, have behaved quite unwarrantably in not giviug the exact number polled by each candidate, at this all-iuip irtant contest. This omission is, however, supplied by the inj ured Voter," and his statement is videutly intcnded as a soothing draught for his co- voters and their rejected man. Your paper may hence- forth rank with the Guardian, the Standard, the Record Church Times and other newspapers. Wm. Johnston, M.Acaves as is the wont of de. feated candidates—he lust by "a very small majority," and would have been returned at the head of the pull, but for the misfortune that he was the last candidate in the field." He feels, however, "gratitied at the great confidence so many of his revereud brethren dis- played towards him." He, too, haa a crow to pluck with his worship the dean, and has called for an explanation of that functionary's conduct in checking his proposer from appending Bishop's Chaplain" to the titles and qualifications which, as rector of Llaniestyu, he had to recommend him to a seat in the lower house of convo- cation. But the dean rules that the title is contrary to the constitution of that house, and "was not fair towards the other candidates." Even thio explanation is deemed to be loose and unsatisfactory." Of the first part of it I know nothing, but am ready to accept the dean's dictum. As to the second, I am only surprised that Wm. Johnson, M. A could lIot himself have discerned that by being proposed as Bishop's Chaplain*' he was com- ing forward under formidable, if not iutimidating, colours Expectaat clergy would prefer not to vote against the bishop's candidate, just as the holder of a iCI2 tenement would scruple to vote against. the wished of his landlord or the ageut." But why publish these petty personalities ? It is generally agreed that the greatest danger to the Church is frum her own internal digsenrtioQB, and the captious, vaiu, aud pretentious spirit of a large portion of her clergy. Non-conformists of every name have their elections and their difference on various subjects, but they have the good of their cause too near at heart to make their squabbles and persoual slights known to the outside public. That the clergy of the Established Church should imitate them in this respect and keep their bother to themselves, is the opinion of yours, &c., A CHUKCHMAN. I

THE CARNARVONSHIRE ELECTION—LLAN- I FAIHEECHAN LIBERALISM. Sll,-A letter having appeared in the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald, of the 5th instant, in which my name has been brought before the public without either authority or provocation on my part, I beg you will allow a corner of the Chronicle for the insertion of the same, and I may also crave the indulgence of the readers for a few explanatory comments thereon. TtM letter is as follows:— SIR,—I send you an extract from a letter received from one of our zealous friends at Llanfairfechan, which will still further show how intense is the feeling, even in that quiet locality, in favour of Liberal principles, and on the great success they have obtained at the recent election in the person of our friend, and now M.P., Mr J ones-Party. (think we have seen the end of Tory domination in our county. All ARDENT LIBSBAL. 3rd December. There was never so much feeling shewn in this vil- lage a* on the evening of the polling day. I should think that very nearly the whole of the inhabitants came down towards the station to meet the 7'31 train. There were several hundreds of them. The young meu and boys took great care of some of our opponents, espe- cially 0. J. Uwen, Corner Shop (one of the most promi- nent Tories in the place). He was not allowed to go home only as the crowd wished. They weut with him, ahouted I Parry' and screw,' &c., &c. A great many were promenading backwards and forwards along the principal road* of the village until morning, shoutiug I screw' opposite every Tory rcsideuce. They took a walk rouud Mr Luck's house, and I was told that Mrs Luck was very much frightened." Several of the Tories cannot bear mentioning it. To every sensible reader the purp rt of An Ardent Liberal" iu publishing the nonsensical extract is a myth. But should we take for granted that he means to reflect credit upon the Liberals of Llaufairfechau, again we would have every sensible reader denouucing such pro- ceedings as those described in his friend's letter, as most abominable and utterly disgraceful to any party whatever To prevent anyone from going home unmo- lested, to deny him the privileges of the highway, and the freedom of the land which we live in, and to attempt a violation of the English law, by ignoring that every man's house is his own castle." All this is very credit- able to the Liberal party Yea, it is now perfectly plain that such barbaric demonstrations so pleases them that they deem it an act of propriety to tell it in Oath and publish it in the streets of Askelon!" This is uot all. The crowd at last resorted to throwing missiles, stones, &c., and the use of sticks. The morning after the polling day we were told that certain parties who are neigh bout's and fellow-tradesmen supported the crowd, and Ovell desired them to carry the proceedings to such extremes. At that time we expressed our disbelief in such statement, but now we heartily believe they were the original lustlgators, and my friend incognito from Llanfairfechan was one of them. However, he has some excellent Liberal sentiments in his letter, to wit," He (0. J. Owen, Corner Shop) was not allowed to go home only as the crowd wished." No. he was not but he was assailed from every side, and thanks to a silk hat he had on, his head was rescued from a blow which would have inflicted serious injury and after the compulsory escort home, his residence was besieged by au unruly mob about half-past eleven at night, who, being of opinion that shouting was not sufficient, hurled large stoues against the door. Again, my friend says, that the crowd pro- meuaded the principal roads until tnoruiu^ The Lihe. raU, it seems, do not keep very good hours. Without taking any further notice of his letter, we ask and appeal to the guod sense of your readers, are such proceedings a proper theme for exultation Does this afford any justification of the Liberal cause Of course, the reply of every sensible man will be vice versa. Again, since the appellation of "screw" has been given to us let us enquirf into the truth of the accusa- tion; and whether it has been applied to the proper persons. As one of the canvassers for Mr Pennant, we can, without the shadow of hesitation, deny in toto having used any means whatever but what can bear the minutest scrutiny as being perfectly fair, btraiglitfor. ward, and upright. We can say even more than this. We defy, we challenge, the Liberal party and the mem- ber himself, as well as his agent in this locality, to point out oue single instance, or one voter who had not perfect liberty to exercise his own judgment. Previous to this, when the Liberal meeting took place at Penmaenmawr, and when Mr Johnson Koberts stated "that some who Toted in his neighbourhood said they were obliged to do so, we challeuged him in the hearing of Mr Jouea- Parry to prove his statement, and also told him we should make a public notice of his words; but thinkiag that the old gentleman was excited under the influence of something, --maybe his hot-headed zeal fur the Liberal cause,-we treated the matter with silent contempt. In addition to this we append a few facts which may prove, no duuht, not over-pleasing to the accusers, but still, let it be remembered that they are facts; and facts which we are at any momeut ready to prove. One voter was threatened by one of the Liberal canvassers, in words similar to these; "If you will vote for Mr Pennant it will be worse for you." Language of such threatening character we can vouch was never used by auy of our party. Our canvass was carried on on sound, honourable, and upright principles. Another proof of the liberty afforded by Radicalism will be found in the an. swer we got from one of their wives, viz.: He dare not vote for Mr Pennant." And also in the information giveu us unsolicited by one of the leading Liberals: that if the voter from Liverpool had voted for Mr Pennant he wou d have been excommunicated from the Welsh Reform Association, which excommunication he ought, iu our humble opinion, to be as proud of as if he had received it direct from the Pope. So much for their Liberalism in Llanfairfechan. And now let us sua what other manoeuvres we had to contend with, and iu spite of which we had the majority of intelligent, well read men, as well as in numbers. First of all, we had the present M. P. here, and may we not say that bringing a Calvinistic minister with him is not a sort of a II screw:" It certainly smells strong of religious in. lfuence. Was not his ageut, along with the auxiliary canvassers, quite (inough ? After this, we had the meet. ing at which the herll presented himself, along with a selection of his aides-de camp. We had a very plausible opening speech by Mr Johnston Roberts, who most em- phatically denounced the c. neutral" as a creature who was unworthy of existence, and strongly counselled the voters uot to be allured iuto the snare, adding its a rea- son that he never saw a neutral Tory: that they acted independentlyl Good, Mr Roberts, and we beg to inform you that we prefer belonging to those parties who can act independently. The next speech treated about every tliilig, -if not everybody,—but politics. Suoceeding the littb man we had the "lion" (I suppose) of the evening,—Mr David Roberts of Carnarvon,—for we heard it very adroitly remarked by one of his listeners, and a Liberal too, that he was driving his grand ideas into the people's heads with his fists It was perfectly natural to think so, as his political sermon was delivered in a-what shall we term it ?—pugilistic style. At the meeting during his speech, Mr R. made several false assertions, and we then, publicly, by our dissentient voice, disapproved of them. No doubt in the enthusiasm and hot-headed zeal which he displayed a little falsehood, now and then, was not at all unac- ceptable, since bare facts would not be so convenient and would not prove so enticing. Without reiterating his words, we will simply state one instance of what Mr R.'s powers are in that line. With all the emphasis and mode of action that his oratorical and pugilistic power could afford, he asked, "Had the Irish Church increased one in the number of her members since she was established ? Not oue. Had she decreased the members in the Roman Catholic community by one! No uot one." We intended to call his attention publicly to this and other misstatements, but, on in- forming a friend of our intention, he immediately said that two letters had been sent from the Liberal friends at Llanfairfechan to Mr H. informing him of my inten- tion, and for him not to take any notice of me. To what extent have these ministers of the gospel (?) the liceuse to utter thorough falsehoods before hundreds of people who are so utterly under their influence and ever so ready to give credence to their spoutitiget, we know not; but it seems to me only a trait in their character akiu to that which extorts from the young and thought- less, who mostly compose their "seiucfau," what they terui *p!ofiad The poor culprits, on the approach of a ministerial enquiry into their spiritual state are thrust into a dilemma, to be extricated from which genuine- ness and truthfulness are trawpled under foot and hypo- crisy comes to the rescue. But to refer to the untrue statements of Mr K. let me beg the reader to mark particularly the following fact, which proves that they themselves were fully conscious of the erroneous nature of their assertions. The speech of Mr R., as reported iu the Carna, von and Denbigh Herald, was entirely dif- ferent from what was uttered at Llaufairfechau. The wurds *• Not one," in the instance quoted, was omitted and these words inserted instead, u Alas, the tale had better not been told." Besides this proof of their du- plicity in allowing what they well knew to be an un- truth, to go abroad without being corrected, because it answered their purpose,—1 add a challenge to Mr D. Roberts myself to prove what he uttered with reference to many other topics which he touched in his speech. Again, I say, I defy him to substantiate one of them. Has he ever read Milton ? let him digest the fol lowing :— Then shall they seek to avail themselves of names, l'laces and titles, and with these to juin Bectilar pow'r, though feigning still to act by spiritual, to themselves appropriating The Spirit of God, promised aiike aud given To all believei s and from that pretence, Spiritual laws by carnal power shall force On every conscience Who all the sacied mysteries of heaveti To their own vile advantages shall turn Of lucre ambition, and the truth ith superstitions and traditions taint." The iron hand of spiritual despotism during the last election has been so prominent that to talk more about Roman Catholic priestcraft is mere nonsense. Next on the programme, it appeard, must have been the hero hiaiself, or, as Mr Koberts scripturally termed him, Cyrus," our liberator from the seveuty-one years of captivity. His speech, in brokeu Welsh, may well receive the same notice as what the Saturday Review stigmatized the "stumping" of Mr Gladstone in Lan- cashire, viz. He has told us what he told us before, and left untold what he left untold before." Whoever was a reader of the w elsh Herald, in which reports of his speeches appeared week after week, will at once per- ceive how applicable the above words are, as they are all in the same strain, with the slightest possible altera- tion in the words. However, we were relieved from the dull monotonous sameness of his speech by the startling discoveries of his secretary. These were presented to the audience with all the importance possible, as if they ware unparalleled siuce the days of Columbus. He and a friend of his had found out that out of 4,850 voters in the county, only 300 were Tories How clever he is, to be sure. Was he or his friend in every nook, corner. or cottage through the county to acquire this important fact ? Seeing this meeting of no avail to swell their list of voters they resorted at last to the bringing of their great gun, with his Titanic figure from Bangor; and it seems from the information of a friend of mine of what the chairman said at this meeting, that it was their intention to carry me, the disturber" of the former meeting out, if I attempted to correct or open the eyes of the people to the truth. Notwithstanding all these various manoeuvres, the steady manner in which our canvass was made-under 'I l' T _1- -J the discreet and wise guidance oi jur Ljuc&aecuru%L uj a majority in this parish. Let tue, in concisision, assure the" Ardent Liberal" and my friend from Llaufairfechau that Mr Luck and myself are not at all ready to depart from the principles on which we conducted the canvass, aud that we are quite confident we shall in the next battle drive the Liberals into a tighter corner 6till.-I remain, dear Sir, yours truly.

THE ANGLESEY BOROUGHS ELECTION, SIR,-It appears to me that a serious misunderstand- ing prevails as to the above contest. It is contended on the part of Mr Stanley's supporters that Mr Morgan Lloyd was not invited to come forward for the bo- roughs, and insinuating that he came here as an impos- tor aud adventurer, to disturb the peace of these other- wise quiet towns. I atu in a position to affirm that Mr Morgan Lloyd was neither the one nor the other of th >se characters, but that he, as a patriotic Welshman, came forward in obedience to a call from several in- fluebtial geotteuiou in the island. He answered the call, and fought a gallant fight, not only against legiti- mate odds, but against all kind. of hypocrisy and unfair influences that could be brought against him. He fought bravely, and would certainly have had the vic- tory had convictiun obtained fair play. If ever there was screw seiat," it was unmercifully employed against Mr Morgan Lloyd. The editor of "Drysorfa" for this month, admits in plain, unmis- takeable language, that Mr Lloyd could not possibly be a fit representative of the Anglesey boroughs, because he did uot remain with the Corph." Here you find a solution to the question-why did the preachers oppose him ? The" opposed him because they were inconsistent with themselves. The preachers do not depend so much upon the welfare of others they generally obtain their payment in full, trade good or bad, and therefore they could not possibly feel for their fellow-creatures sufferers from Mr Stanley's opposition to the docks, and success of Holyhead and Anglesey in geueral. I cannot possibly conciliate the great difference o opinion entertained in these boroughs and the result of our last election. Of course Mr Stanley is a learned man, and an old tactician in electioneering matters, and he at once measured the depth of our ministers' know- ledge and conviction, and worked upon them with immense success. The majority of the electors this very moment are sorry of Mr Lloyd's defeat, but he lost through treachery. 'I'ho Aiigletiey boroughs have declined to accept of the best man, (as they happen to be Radicals,) and have chosen a man who has no sympathy at all with them, either politically or sociilly. I regret their selection, and—Beg to remain, yours truly, A BRITON.

THE REV. RICHARD JONES, HOLYHEAD, AND HIS MISTAKES. SIR,—I mentioned in your last impression that the above gentlemau seems to labour under a kind of infatu- ation, which leads him to continual mistakes. As I only referred to one of his mistakes, it may be supposed that I have exaggerated his crimes; and in order to place myself right with you and your readers on the matter, I intend to comment upon other blunders committed by the Holyhead divine" during the recent contest. The greatest and fundamental blunder of all, was his appearance in public to advocate the cause of Mr Stan- ley. He has been the means, among others, of creating the prej udice which exists in this town against the honourable member; and it is a well-known fact, that had Mr Morgan Lloyd found the "eminent divine," previous to the visitation of Mr Stanley. and his game, the valuable (?) patronage of Plashyfryd would have been generously extended to him. Is it true that Mr Jones' presence was despised by Mr Stanley's commit- tee and that his wild harangues at the Market Hall caused Mr Stanley himself to blush ? I only ask the question, and pause for a reply. 1 he next blunder ne commits is the first speech at Mr Stanley's meeting. This famous oration may be characterized as a series of blunders, delivered in a vehement and barbarous style. He expected that reversing Mr Lloyd's name, by calling him Lloyd Morgan" would have the effect of disgra- cing that esteemed gentleman but it appeate that the effect was quite different—the miserable attempt only served to make the great orator more ridiculous. He then proceeds to dilate upon the high qualities possessed by the old member-he endeavoured to paint him as a specimen of perfection; and as all his remarks in this direction were in contradiction to his previous conduct towards Mr Stanley, the audience, of course, were suf- fering from a feverish desire to favour him with an igno- minious expulsion from the platform, which he so much disgraced. The best supporters -honest and consistent souls—were really disgusted with him. Another blun- der which I shall notice is the silly remarks he made re- specting the boxes of gold that were expected at Holy- head, for the construction of docks and warehouses. 41 They were at it counting them iu London that very moment." This was six weeks ago, and they have not arrived He must have been a great simpleton to offer such a foolish hoax, or he must have considered his hearers as mere children, who could be convinced with any braggadocio he pleased to advance in favor of his arguments. The hoax has proved successful and bad its desired effect upon the people of Holyhead but I must denounce the whole affair as a blunder after all. I am rather afraid that your space will not allow me to notice all his blunders, because they are nigh innu- merable. He has been at great pains in endeavouring to persuade the people that he was accused by Mr Lloyd of inviting him to come forward for these boroughs. Mr Lloyd never said so, nor did any of his supporters but it was said several times that Mr Hichard Jones had been using all means in his power in a futile attempt to get a Conservative opponent to Mr Stanley. I believe that documents were in hand to prove the assertion. Mr Jones wanted to wield that damnable accusation from his character, and therefore endeavoured to send us all on a wrong scent." He hag challenged" \Ir Lloyd to prove that he ever invited him here but Mr Lloyd never said a word to that effect, and would have been sorry had he ever responded to a call from him. The last blunder I shall notice, but not the last com- mitted by our esteemed friend, is the venomous refer- ence he made to Dr Edwards, and which has been proved to be false, and without foundation. If he has any deli- cacy about him, which is extremely doubtful, he ought to make au ample apology to Dr Edwards and Mr Lloyd; because he has libelled the character of both these emi- nent men. I he correspondence now raging between him and Mr John Roberts, Taihen, will serve one pur- pose at least-it will show the low mental status of our spiritual leaders in Anglesey. It does not appear to give any light whatever on the important question which I they tmuuie to discuss, Let them revel in their mire, and your humble servant will complaceutly witness the I interesting scene, and smile at their fully.-Yours, Ac., Holyhead.

THE CARNARVONSHIRE BAPTISTS AND THE I LATE ELECTIONS. At a Quarterly Meeting of the Ministers and repre- sentatives of the churches, held at Bangor on the 21st and 22nd inst., the following resolution was adopted:— Inasmuch as the Conservative press and several of the Conservative gentlemen in this part of the country, have accused the Nonconformists of unduly and oppres- sively influencing their members during the late elections, we think it but fair that we also should state our view of the case. We, the Baptist Community, ever since we have had an existence, have been hearty supporters of perfect civil and religious liberty, and have maintained a position, in all ages, of conscientious opposition to every kind of op- pression and persecution, and though we reasonably ex- pect every man to vote consistently with the principles he professes, we understand 'perfect liberty' too well to presume to interfere with the rights of our brethren, and our conception of the Gospel is too high to allow us to substitute political opinions as the condition of church fellowship for our faith in Christ. We maintain that voting at an election is a personal matter, and that the Government has given that privilege to men personally that landlords have no more right to interfere with the votes of their tenants and workmen than with their families and that they are guilty of a violation of social rights by so doing, for they stand be- tween the country and the Government and arrogate to themselves more authority than the constitution allows them. At an election lord and labourer are on an equal footiug-each has his vote, and the master's vote is not more important in the right of the Government than the labourer's vote, and so according to the Constitution of Great Britain we are at liberty to vote as we choose. I I If it belaid that we teach the people to disobey their employers, we answer that we will never do anything of the kind unless the employers stand between them and the Queen. 4 Let me know your personal opinion' is the Queen's command; adopt my opinion,' says the tyrant; 4 honour the Queen standjup for your rights like men,' is our advice. We therefore axe the loyal subject, and our calumniators are the disloyal. 44 The charge brought against us of unduly influencing our members is too puerile to need to be disproved. The fact that so mauy of our members in different parts of the country voted for the Tories, either from complusion or conviction, without incurring a rebuke or a frown, is a sufficient answer to the slanderous and unwarrantable accusation. 44 Our Ministers are blamed for taking a part in political matters, 'preaching politics,' &c. We have not so far forgotten the solemn duties of our calling as to preach politics instead of the word of life but as we would not on any account assume a superiority over other men, nor be treated as less than men, we are compelled to take part a$men in everything that concerns us as citizens. Our ambition is to be faithful to our consciences, faithful to our country, faithful to our Queen, and faithful to the King of Heaven. <4 It ELLIS (Cynddelw), Chairman, I 44 G. ROBERTS, Secretary."

A remarkable case of determined suicide has occurred in London. The friends of a man named Bouchier gave him into custody for making an ineffectual attempt on his life, but on his way to the statiou-house, whilst in the street, he broke away from the constable, and before he could be overtaken inflicted, with a knife which he drew, a mortal cut on his throat, dying almost instantly. THE VIRTUE OF ORDINATION.—The Pall Mall Gazette says that Dr. Payne Smith, the Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, has lately stated explicitly that the clergy of the Church of England are not priests in the sacerdotal sense of the term, and that no mystical virtue is communicated by ordination. This has led to a movement with the object of inducing the bishops not to require of Oxford candidates for orders any certifi- cate of attendance on Dr. Payne Smith's lectures. A I similar course was adopted towards the late Dr. Hampdeu. Although the present age teems with inventions of the highest character and value, few amongst them if indeed any one, can compete, either in skillful originality and ingenuity of design, or simplicity in construction—in a word, iu absolute utility, with Mr White's Moc-Main Patent Lever Tiuss. Thousands already acknowledge with unmistakeable sincerity, their gratitude for the relief thev have experienced by its adoption, whilst the great bulk of the Surgical profession have pronounced in its favour. Freedom from all clumsy and elaborate ap- pendages, the bestowal of comfort in its wear, and' ex- traordinary cheapness, are the characteristics of this Truss-—Can we marvel therefore at its popularity ?

I CARNARVON. RAILWAY FARES The idea now being put forward of uniform and cheap fares for railway passengers throughout the United Kingdom, on the principle of the penny post, &c., was originated by the Rev. T. Casson Smith, M.A., eldest son of Benjamin Smith, Esq., of Carnarvon. Mr Smith published two letters on the subject, which appeared in the Liverpool Daiyl Courier, the one in February, 1865, and the other in the following month—nearly four years ago. BOARD or GUARDIANS. The usual fortnightly meeting of this board was held on Saturday last, the 19th iust. Present—Mr Richard Hughes, Liauidan, chairman Mr Robert Joues, Llan. dwrog, and Mr Sauiuul Jones, Llanddeitiiolen, vice- chairmen Rev. J. C. Vincent; Messrs.

Th", Appointment of Schoolmiltreu.-The Clerk stated that according to notice the guardians were to proceed at this meeting to the election of schoolmistress tor the workhouse. Several guardians bad been in the school that morning, and had examined the children in different subjects. The Kev. J. C. Vincent, as one of the guardians ho had exauiiued the children, recommended that the ap- pointuieat be adjourned. The children were rather backward in some subjects, such as Scriptural know- ledge and arithmetic. Mr Thos. liichardson corroborated Mr Vincent, and said that the children were not what might have been expected. The blame, however, could not perhaps be laid altogether at the door of the schoolmistress, as she had laboured under great disadvantages, and if some time be given to her again, some improvement would no doubt take place. He was therefore in favour of post- poning the appointment for some time. Mr Samuel Jones, another of the visitors, said that he found the children well up in reading and writing; in fact, they were all that could be desired in those branches, aud they could not be expected to be any better. Workhouse children were different to other children, and the same progress could not be expected of them. A letter was then read from Mrs Davies, the school- mistress of the Ebenezer British Schools, bearing testi- mony to Miss Roberts' capabilities for the office of schoolmistress. She had been pupil teacher at that school for many years, and had shown that she was possessed of excellent abilities to teach the young. That was also the opinion of Mr Scoltock, H. M. Inspector, at her examination. 011 the motion of the Rev. Mr Vincent, seconded by Mr Richardson, Miss Roberts was appointed to take charge of the school for six months on trial- Pauper Education.-A letter was read from the Ban- gor Union, to the effect that the guardians of that union had adopted the resolution of the Carnarvon Union in reference to the education of pauper children. The Clerk added that the resolutions had been very cordially received by the guardians of the Bangor union. The late He-appointment of Medical Officer.—A letter was read from [Jr. It. Richards, Carnarvon, asking the guardians upon what grounds they informed the Poor Law Board that they had no confidence in him as medi- cal officer, as was reported in the public papers. The guardians were of opinion that they were not responsible fur what appeared in the papers, as their letter to the Poor Law Hoard was a privileged commu- nication, and the reporters were never requested to pub- lish it. Dr. Richards was then admitted to the board, and re- iterated his complaint, adding that he was surprised the guardians should send such a reply to the Poor Law Board, as the observations contained in it were a reflec- tion upon his character. The Chairman said that the guardians would have nothing further to do with Dr. Hichards, as they had ample reasons for re-appointing Dr. Jones, and they only did their duty in furnishing the Poor Law Board with those reasons. Dr. Richards, after repeating that the guardians had no right to utter reflections upon his character, with- drew, evidently dissatisfied with the result of his inter- view with the board of guardians. Master's Report.-Number of paupers in the house, 94; vagrants relieved during the past fortnight, 16. The board then rose.

CONWAY. A YOUNG V ÁGRANT.-A youth, doubtless a profes- sional member of the fraternity of tramps and vagrauts, made his appearance last week at the Police Station Hotel, Conway, and applied for free quarters and free board for the night. Host Evans, however, quickly marched him to the workhouse, where he had his sup- per, being the rations usually allowed to such charac- ters, viz., 4 ozs. bread and half-a-pint of gruel. He was then placed on a wooden board, which answered for a bed, was covered with a solitary bed cover, and safely locked up for the night. In the morning, the warder upon entering the room, found that the young urchin had torn his clothes into rags, which lay in a heap in the corner, and on his being asked why he had been guilty of this wilful destruction, he denied having done anything to his clothes, nor could he give information as to how they were in their then condition. This, of course, was a palpable falsehood he was however taken before the guardians when they assembled, aa they did at 10 o'clock the same morning, who determined to send him before the magistrates, but as he could not be sent in a nude state, they put their ingenuity to work and improvised a suit, or rather a coveriug, by pro- curing a sack and making a hole at the bottom suffi- ciently large to allow the lad's head to pass through, and in this guise he was taken before the magistrates at the police station by a police officer. Justice was then dealt out to the young miscreant, who will doubtless have an opportunity at Dixon'sjiotel," Carnarvon, of determining in his retirement on his next stroke of policy, as his betters have done. He had fully calcu- lated on the result of his last move, as he stated that he expected a month at Carnarvon; but he would secure a new suit of clothes to go to his next scene of operations. This compensation for the loss of liberty seemed to afford him ample consolation during this to him pleasure trip, which although in one sense was by compulsion, had the merit of being paid for by other parties.

DENBIGH. BOROUGH SSSSIONS.—Friday, December 18th, before the Mayor, Dr Pierce, in the chair, Lloyd Williams,! Esq., and Dr Tumour. Clough v. Lydia Rughei.-A letter in reference to this case was read from Mr Adams, the solicitor for de- fendant, asking the magistrates to adjourn the case.—Mr Beecham, on behalf of Mr Clough, opposed the adjourn- ment as he had all his witnesses here, who, of course, would want to be paid for their day's work. There were three or four witnesses present, and the case had been adjourned before.— Mr Adams' letter stated that the cause of the adjournment was that one of his im- portant witnesses was not iu a fit state to give evidence. The Mayor state! that the man referred to would not be iu a fit state to give evidence for a couple of months hence, if he lived, which was at present very doubtful. —Mr Beecham afvid he would prove that the witness's evidence referred to by Mr Adams could not affect the case at all.—After considerable discussion the case was adjourned for one month, and that it must be under- stood that the case must then be proceeded with.—At the request of Mr Beecham a note was made that he had four witnesses in attendance. Furious Driring.- Robert Hooks, butcher, Llan- nefydd, was summoned at the instigation of the police, charged with furiously driving so as to endauger the lives of the passers by.—Mr Lloyd Williams, being a witness in this case, retired from the bench.—Thomas Williams said that about six o'clock on the previous Wednesday evening, he was going past the Plough Inn, when he observed the defendant-as he afterwards proved to be-coming down the hill atafasttiot. He appeared to be checking the reins as much as he could, but the pony seemed to have the mastery over him.— Mr Lloyd Williams gave simiiar evidence, and said that it was the third time that day that Mr Chambres, with whom he was riding, had nearly been run into. He would not press for a heavy penalty. -The magistrates fined the defendant in the nominal sum of Is and costs. Unlawfully Assaulting the Police in the Execution of their Duty.-A Modern Jack oSheppard-Joeeph Jones a strongly built looking man, following the trade of a butcher at St. Asaph, was summoned by Superintend- ent Pughe, charged with the above offence.—Super- intendent Pnghe said he was on duty, in uniform, on Saturday last, about one o'clock in the afternoon. When standing in Vale-street he saw a crowd. On asking what was the matter, they told him that some boys had I been teszing the defendant. He asked defendant what was the wtter. Defendant was quite mad with drink. The children ran away when witness went up to him. When he spoke to him he said 61 Is it you, you old d-I I I will fight the best man in Denbighshire and Flint- shire." He stripped his coat and waistcoast on the street; parties picked them up, and told defendant that he would take them away with him, tbioking by that to eutice him to the station. Defendant ran up to him and attempted to strike witness several times. P.C. Wilde, at this juncture, came up to assist him to take him to the station. His conduct whilst at the station became so bad that witness was obliged to take him to the station house in Love-lane for the preservation of the peace. He became so bad and so violent whilst there that witness was obliged to put the handcuffs on him.— P.C. Wilde corroborated the above statement.— P.C. Davies also put in a bill for damages done whilst in the lock-up. The magistrates fined the defeuilant, who was very penitent, including costs, £1 5s. P.C. Davies, inspector of nuisances, summoned Mr William Booth, Hhyl, for exposing a quantity of tisli for sile in the Market-place, Denbigh, which was unfit fur food.—Mr Booth said that as the summons had only been served on the Wednesday previous, he must apply for an adjournment in order that he might obtain the presence of two witnesses.-Case adjourned until next week. Assaulting the Police.-John Evans was summoned for assaulting P.C. Wilde on the 30th of November last. Fined 12o 6d and costa. Firing of Pistols on the Election Day.-Two youths were summoned for firing off pistols within thirty feet of a public thoroughfare in Denbigh. They were fined Od and costs each. The young men applied for their pistols, which were ordered to be given back. No other cases of interest were heard.

DOLGELLEY. I LECTORS.—A lecture was delivered at Salem Chapel, in this town, on Monday evening, the 14th inst, by the I Rev. John Ogwen Jones, B.A., of Oswestry, on the "Songs of Solomon," the chair was taken by W. WiI. liams, Esq., of Ivy House. The attendance, considering the exceedingly rough weather, was very large, and the lecture exceedingly interesting. A collection was made at the close towards defraying the debt of the English Presbyterian chapel at Oawestry, of which the rev. gentle- man is the pastor. PETTY SESSIONS, Tuesday, December 15th, before L. Williams, Esq., and Col. liunbury, C.B. A Lunacy (jam.-A person named John Connolly, an inmate of Denbigh asyluin, having been sent there from the county gaol; an order was required so that the cost of his maintenance there should be paid from the county rate. Mr Owen Thomas said-I am governor of Dolgelley county gaol. A person named John Connolly was com- mitted to the goal sometime in July last, in default of his finding sureties to keep the peace. He was taken from the goal to Denbigh Lunatic Asylum because he was insane, under a warrant from the Secretary of State. I am not aware that he had gained a settlement in any part of England or Wales. I believe he was an American, at least he told 'me so. An order was signed for his maintenance by the county. A Case of Perjury.—Owen Griffith, a labourer, was charged for committing perjury at the Petty Sessions held on the 8th inst. Mr D. Pugh, for the prosecution called Mr Griffith Jones Williams, who said—1 am clerk to the Justice for the division of Talybont, in this county. I produce an application made by Margaret Owen for an order of affiliation, dated December 1st, 1868. It is signed by Margaret Owen, and countersigned by L. Williams, Esq., one of the magistrates acting in this division. The de- fendant appeared in answer to a summons granted in in consequence of that application on the.Sch iastant. The magistrates present at the Petty Sessions that day were L. Williams, Esq., and Col. Bunbury. On the hearing of the application, the defendant tendered him- self as a witness at the req uest of his own attorney. The oath was administered to him before he gave his evidence in the presence of the magistrates named. I took his evidence down. It is as follows :—" I know Margaret Owen, I have known her for some time. I have been married for six months. I never kept company with Margaret Owen. On my oath, I never had any con. nection with Margaret Owen. I never was in bed with her. I never was in the house with her. I never had any connection with her outside the house nor any. where eLse." Under cross-examination he said, "I have been in this room and I have heard Margaret Owen give her evidence, and also Catherine Roberts. I see this book before me on the table. It is the Testament. I have kissed the book, and I say on my oath that these two witnesses have been telling an untruth." The magistrates after hearing the evidence made the usual order upon Owen Griffith for the maintenance of the child. Margaret Owen said—I reside at Dolgelley. I lately gave birth to a cbild. Owen Griffith is the father of the child. He has been keeping company with me for two years and more. He used to walk out with me at night. I first went to service at Mr Chalton's two years last All Saints. He lived at Glanaran, Dolgelley. I have left there last May. During the time I was there, Owen Griffith used to come there to me. He used to come at night, and loave in the morning. Catherine Roberts used to come there to work. Catherine Roberts said—I know the defendant by sight, I saw him at Mr Chalton's house at night. I have left him there. He was there with Margaret Owen. I saw him there with her, and it was with her that I left him. I saw him coming from there between five and six in the morning. I remember one particular occasion —it was on Monday night before Shrove Tuesday fair. I had gone there on an errand about ten o'clock, and I saw him in the house. I went there the following morning between fire and six and I saw him there then. He was in the back kitchen with Margaret Owen. Ellen Owen said—I live at Hafodlas with my father, and I am a sister to Margaret Owen. I know Owen Griffith, the defendant. I have often seen my sister and defendant together. I have seen them near the house at Glanaran talking together at night. I once saw him in the garden. He had thrown stones on the roof. I was there then instead of my sister who was ill. Rebecca Thomas said-I am acquainted with Margaret Owen and Owen Griffith. I never saw them together, nor did I see him in the house I often saw him in the morning passing my house as if coming from there. Mr Pugh said he would leave the case as it was in the hands of the magistrates, as he did not think he could carry it any further, although there was no doubt that the defendant had committed a most wilful perjury. Perhaps the evidence was hardly strong enough to convict, and that the ends of justice might be served by exposing the defendant as he had, which might serve as a warning to others. Col. Bunbury, addressing the defendant, said—We are sorry that we shall have to dismiss the case. We are of opinior. that you have wilfully and deliberately perjured yourself, and we are only sorry that the corroborative evi- deuce is not strong enough to couvict you if it had been a little stronger we should certainly have com- mitted you for trial. Take better care of yourself in future.

DINNER TO WM. TREVOR PARKINS, ESQ. On Wednesday evening week, th" tenantry on the Trevalyn estate invited Mr William r, %r Parkins, one of the owners of the estate, to a <111 her at the Trevor Arms Inn, Marforo, in WII:(lm,' {ji Li", (tJlI:'¡.r t,) reside in that neighbourhood. As .ioon i.cc iie known that Mr Parkins was comiug'to live a: i,g,t his own people, a committee was formed, of which Mr Lewis, Rossett Mill, was chairman, for devising the best means of doing honour to a good landlord, and giving him ft hearty welcome. It was agreed that Mr Pat kins, if willing, bhould partake of the hospitality of his own tenantry, aud exchange congratulations in the true English style of dining together. The t.if catering was entrusted to Mr Thomas, who nni.iitted himself to the oitisfaction of all pil-ties. ThL- dii,i,er wa,; excellent in every respect. Mr John Boydell, of Rosset Hall, occupied the chair; and Mr Mauley, R I \iill. and Mr Mo.ris, Ultiley Wood, the vioech.ii: ■ i < .uaongst those present were-Itev. Sydney Dirvell, Rev. '1'. V. Wickham. Mr O. Buydell, Capt. F. H. Barker, Mr Chas. Barker, Mr G. H. Bramali, Mr Riehd. Hoydell, 4c. I here were about sixty present. Tho usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been honoured, The Chairman then proceeded to propose the toast of the evening. He said-Gentlelnen, I rise to address you, not with quite the light heart I could have wished, on the occasion of proposing the next toast on your list; and I mu t beg at you to let me state my reason for that fact before enteriug upon it. I do not feel my- self to be the right mau in the right place this eveoing, and had it not been for the sudden domestic affliction of our respected neighbour, the chairman of your com- mittee (Mr Lewis), he would more fittingly have filled the chair. It is known to most, if not to all of you, that the mortal remains of his second daughter, the last of two fair and, as I believe, most exemplary young women—exemplary in manner, exemplary in address, exemplary in goodness-have to-day been buried. I cannot therefore refrain, even on an occasion like this, from asking you, his brother tenants, and all of us, brothers in a higher sense, to show our sympathy with the distressed parents. (Hear, hear.) The children are, we may sincerely hope, through Christ our Re- deemer, for ever blessed and let us trust that this feeling may be so felt by their parents and their brothers that they may so soon realise it as that it shall assuage their sorrow and help them to look for succour where, in so trying an event, succour is only to he found. (Hear, hear) I now pass with the greatest pleasure to the subject of the toast of the evening. The task I have to perform is rendered comparatively easy by the fact that I have to propose the health of one who is so highly respected amongst you, the gentleman whom you have honoured by making him your guest this evening. (Loud cheers.) It is not at any time an easy task to state what it is that really constitutes a good landlord. But I verily believe if I had the power this moment of engraving and transferring to paper the countenance of this company, I could point to the pio- ture and say, here is a tenantry whose condition shows that they are quite content and quite satisfied with the treatment they receive at the hands of their landlord. (Loud cheers.) I trust this feeling may long continue. (Renewed cheers.) It is a sight worthy the best feelings of our nature to see friends met together to shew their sense of kindness received, and I cannot but view the relationship of landlords and tenants in the light of friendship. Far and distant be the day when any of you cannot meet your landlords with this feeling. Gentlemen, it would be strange on this estate to see a man turn his back on his landlord. Good landlords make good tenants, and we may say good tenants make good landlords. About sixty years ago the Trevor es- tate, which comprised Trevalyn and Plas Teg, was divided between the Boscawen and Dacre families. My friend M r Parkins is one of the representatives of the Boscawen half. He has been—I will not say a rover- but he has been an absentee; but now he has returned to his estate, the place of his birth, the cherished spot of all the earth in his heart, and I think this meeting testifies the esteem and afiection in which he is held,and how he is looked upon in the character of a landlord. (Cheers.) I trust this affection aud regard may never cease, but on the contrary, that it may increase more and more all long as he lives. (Renewed cheers.) He does not come here among us as a stranger. lie is a man who has lived among us before, and can be judged by the ordeal of his acts. He has long been one of the owners of this estate. I have on my right hand and my left (Mr W. r. Parkins and the Rev. J. Sydney Dar- veli) the mainsprings in the management of this pro- perty—gentlemen whose advice and assi-tauce I am always glad to receive. Mr Parkins is well known to many of you, and shortly will be better known to all of you. His character has honour stamped ou it good- will to all men pervades it especial cire and pride in his tenants and all those immediately connected with him enshrouds it. I trust his son may at some distant day inherit not his estate only, but his character and his merits. (Loud cheers.) I have known him, as some of you have, since he was a child. I have watched his career, and I think I dare say that if sterling worth is deserving of doing honour to, he is deserving of the grateful return you are making him this day. (Cheers.) He is not a man who will be turned from the strict duties of his station by any pride of life, or by any in- fliieuce8 that might be brought to bear upon him. I feel sure he will hand down his character—that character you have met to;honour to-day-undirnmed to his son. (Great cheering.) I hope you will all charge your glasses and drink Health, long life, and pros- perity to William Trevor Parkins, Esq." (Drunk with enthusiasm.) Mr Trevor Parkins rose to respond, and was received with loud cheers. He said—Mr Boydell, Mr Manley, Mr Morris, and gentlemen I find it difficult to acknow- ledge the honour you have done me. I feel that I can- not sufficiently thank you for this kind reception, and for the great compliment which you have paid me by iuviting me as one of the owners of the Trevalyn estate to dine with you to-day. It is now about one hundred and forty years since the last of the Trevors died, and since that time this estate has been more or less divided, and the owners of it, with some few exceptions, have resided elsewhere. But though not resident them. sel ves, they had been extremely fortunate in entrusting the management of their affairs to such good hands as those of Mr Boydell, and the other members of his family who have preceded him in the position which he has so long occupied. (Cheers.) I think he is the fourth geutleman of his name who has had the manage- ment of this property, and I remember some lines which my grandfather, who was a poet, wrote upon the grandfather of my friend, which I will repeat to you, as they are equally applicable to himself- For absent lords he ruled a fair domain, Though zealous, gentle, steadfast, yet humane, Gave to their temper'd rights the just increase, Yet bade the industrious peasant smile in peace.* It is my belief that the former owners of the Trevalyn estate have been good landlords, anxious to promote the welfare of those who lived under them, and I am certain that my relations who, with myself, have succeeded to their interests, are influenced by the same feelings of kindness and good-will, and equally desire the happiness and prosperity of their tenants. Gentlemen, speaking of myself, though I have been absent, as has been already stated, for some years, I wished to have been more among you, and among you I hope to spend the re- mainder of my days. (Cheers.) Many of you are old friends of mine I hope to make the acquaintance and friendship of the rest; and I trust you will all find me, to the very utmost of my means and power, always ready to promote your interests. I have been unable to express myself as I could have wished, or to thank you sufficiently. But I am truly sensible of your goodness to me, and the committee have increased my obligation by inviting those kind friends around me, some of them amongst my oldest ones, who have come to meet me here this evening. Before sitting down, Sir, allow me to propose a toast. I beg to give you the health of my hosts, The Tenants of the Trevalyn estate," whom I wish again to thank for the great kindness they have shown to me, and I would especially thank the com- mittee for the part they have taken in arranging this handsome entertainment. I will couple with the toast which I propose the name of Mr Woolrich, as one of the oldest tenants of the estate. (Great cheering.) The health of our other landlords" was then pro- posed by Mr Morris, and responded to by Mr Darvell, who proposed the health of "The Chairman," the health of Mr Trevor Parkins and family," and several other toasts followed. These lines occur in an epitaph on Mr Thos. Boydell, written by Mr Boscawen, the translator of Horace, who was Mr Trevor Parkins' grandfather.
