GRAND CONSERVATIVE BANQUET AT CARNARVON. The banquet in honour of the two candidates who contested the represmtation of the county and united boroughs of Cat ii,ii,v.)ij-tite Hon. G. l), Pennant, and the Hon. T. J. Wyun— took place in the splendid room of the Sportsman Hotel, Carnarvon, on Weduesday evening, upon a very grand scale. The room, spacious as it is, was insufficient to accommodate the number who applied for tickets, notwithstanding the high price of the tickets (one guinea), and though 240 sat down to dinner, 511 others hed reluctautly to be refused. A wore uUlllerous and inlllleutÎal gathering, political or otherwise, has never before assembled ititheMunty towu and the remembrance of the iteal and enthusiasm which was displayed in the good old cause of Conser- vatism, will not easily be effaced from the memory of those who witnessed it. The room wore a very brilliant appearance, beiug very beautifully and tastily decorated. A t the top of the room amid the draping of flagB was the Crown of England anchored to "Conservatism autl "GwladgarwcU" upon an illumiuated scroll. On the wall. oi the room were a number of the polished slate table tops (mostly representing, loeal scenes) of Messrs. Humphreys. These Wè!e eucireled with ever- greens, aud had a very charming and pleasing effect. The dinner was adiiiirbtl-ly served by the host, Mr More- ton.

Lord Wiliou^bby de Eresby presented a very hand- some buck, and Uaudsome proseutd of game were re- ceived also from Lord Peurliyn, and Capt. Duff. The pleasure of the evening was greatly enhanced by the exquisite singiug ut Messrs Cuzuer, Or ale and Halli- dav, of the Chester Cathedral choir, who were accom- panied upon the pianoforte by Mr Hayden, organist of Carnarvon. Giitce before meat was said by the Very Rev. the Dean of Uaugor; after meat, by the lluv. J. C. Vincent, vicar of Carnarvon. The Chairman propose(I the Queen," beloved by her subjects for her many noble qualities. Long may she reijiu over a happy and prosperous people. (Cheers.) The National Anthem. The Cli,kirLuaii-I have the honour to propose the health of the Prince and Princess of Wale.-i," who have wou, by their attachment to our institutions, the devo- tion of the country. (Cheers.) Ciod iiless the Priuce of Wales." The Chairman—I give you "the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," whom we are so glad to see represented here to-ui;;ht by the Dtau of baugor, and by so many other clergymen. The Dean of IJangor, in returning thanks, said-The toast which has been so kindly proposed is very gratify- iug to those included in these terms; but although not exclusively a laudator tcmporis acti, I prefer the old terms in which this toast used to be conveyed, namely -Church aud Queen—(hear, hear)-because in the first term the clergy and laity were spuken vi as one body—(hear, hear)-and in the second the loyalty of all towards the temporal head of the Christian Cliureh in this realm was ex iressed. (Cheers.) As tiie Bishop is first named, I ought, as it has fallen to my lot to return thanks, to say a few words, although not commissioned to do so, as to the not improbable cau-e of his absence. In the fit, I am sure no one sympathises more than he does in the object of this gittliei-iiig-(chvers)-- namely, to manifest our atlectiouate respect to those honourable and high-principled geutlemen, who have come forward oil a late occasion to assert the rights of real constitutional liberty (lond cheers) -notwith- standing the well organised schemes of what has been cunningly and speciously denominated political and re- ligious hbeuition, than which I am compelled most un- willingly to believe, a more perfected system of mental tyranny could not have been invented or put in force 1_- ¡ L than has been exercised by certain individuals iu ims country. (fie.ir, hear.) The Hish p of the Diocese lliay have abstained from being present to-day possibly because he is a iiit-mber of the house of peers as may also be the case with others—(hear, hear) but, 1 believe myself (although 1 have no authority for the assumption) that his chief reason was, because he is bishop of the whole diocese, and desires to be the faith- ful pastor of the whole—(cheers) -because, I believe, he affectionately loves t boss who come to him, and from his heart wi-hes well to all. (Hear, hear.) The clergy too, I am confident, partake of the same Christian feel- ing as I myself most sincerely do-(cheers) but 1 do not thiuk this precludes us from our privileges as citizens, (so long as we do not prostitute our profession (cheers)—to political ambition), or from showing honour, as on this occasion, to those to whom honour is most truly due. (Cheers.) I need not say that I mean the late honourable candidates for the county and boroughs of Carnaivonshire. In the uanJe of tÍie bishop and eiergy I return their and my own best thanks. (Cheers) Glee. The Chairman—"The Army, Navy, Militia and Vo- lunteers." With the army 1 wish to name Colonel Sandys, who, in the East, has done good service to his country with the militia aud volunteers, Major Wil. liam aud Major Mathew. (Cheers.) Utee. Colonel Sandys, in responding for the army, said-I rise with considerable embarrassment to acknowledge this toast, never bavins.' had the honour before of ad- dressing so large an assembly. All that I can say is, that 1 am a verv old soldier as far as service goes, having received ,my ensign's commission ill 1S05. (i heeriug.) 1 have i.t'rU engaged iu four or five wars in India, and though I have not gained any considerable distinction as an otiioei", I have done my duty wherever I have been. e Cbk:, is.) 1 am pj'"ud t'> U'loug to the Bvitisii army, fur in whatever qu icter of the globe it has been engaged it has always teen followed by a long train of vic- tories. (Cheers) A Wiiii,tllll, returning thanks for the miliUa, said —You have done the militia the honour of associating it on this occasiou with the name of the British army, and I am sure I am expressing the feeling of every mem- ber oi tbat service when I say how highly we appre- ciate that honour. With respect to the great question which has been the mealJsof aSHembJillg us here this even ing, I hope I may be allowed to take this opportunity of expressing the great pleasura it gives rile iudi- vidually to take any share in doing honour to the two gentlemen who have so nobly come forward to fight the | great battle of the constitution—(cheers)—and likewise of my grief at the circumstances under which we are assembled. (Hear, hear.) I think I may safely say that this is the most important and influential demon- stration of this kind that has taken place in this county, .-(Ci) eers)-anl I trust 1 may be allowed to express a hope that the enthusiasm that has brought it together may not pass away with the fumes of port and cham- pitgne- (laughter and hear, hear)--but that it may be the inauguration of some permanent organization for stcuring the interests of the great constitutional party. (Cheers.) I trust that before we separate the im por- tance of this will be impressed upon all here present by more influential lips than mine. Our enemies are active, methodical, and assiduous, and if we do but take example of them, we may be assured that our next meeting in this room will be under very different cir- cumstances from the present. It will be one, not of sympathy with one another on a disastrous defeat, but one of mutual congratulation on the triumph of a great cause. ( Loud cheers.) Major Mathew, in acknowledging the toast for the volunteers said-I feel quite sure that thecitizen army if called upon to defend her glerioua Majesty will do so to a man, but I hope that the time when they may be called upon to exercise their power may be far off, whatever our enemies may be. Hear, hear.) At the same time I do not like to hear of the volunteer force relaxing their energies, because we do not know how soon they may be called upon to do their duty. (Cheers.) It has been hinted to you that those who have recently de. feated us are striving to hold the ground they have got. No doubt that is so; but that fact ought to impress upon us that the Conservative force of this county must to a ina/i put their shoulders to the wheel, and more than that, keep that wheel going. (Cheers.) I remember that there is a very old sentiment, May the kings of liberty never lose a feather." Well, we have lost a feather, but let use every exertion to regain it. I no doubt feel somewhat strong upon the subject, but I look upon it that we should take a leaf out of the enemy's buok--take the whole book in fact, if we can from them (latigbter) -aD(I place in the shoes of the present representatives, the two honourable gentlemen who are our guests this evening. (Cheers.) So far as I am con- cerned, the next time that we have a fight for this county, I promise you that I will do all in my power for the Conservative cause, and for those honourable gentlemen who have this time been dff?ated. (Cheers.) The Chairman -Before proceeding with the next toast I wish to state that I have received letters of apology from Air Kichard Lloyd Edwards, Nanhoron, who is unable to attend as he very much regrets in consequence of suffering from indisposition; from Mr E.lis Nanney, who is not at present in Wales, or he would be here and from Col. Peers Williams. I have now to propose the toast of the evening, the health of the two gentlemen who came forward so nobly to fight our battle at the last election-(loud cheers)—and whom we should have received this evening, not only as our guests, but as our representatives in the House of Commons had not some of the Dissenting minis- ters unduly influenced their congregations. (Cheers.) I say some" because there were exceptions- men that would not allow their chapels, built for the teaching of the gospel, to be used for poli- tical purposes, (Cheers.) No doubt at the last election you remarked that one or two of the lladical candidates stated that if returned they would bring forward an act to oblige proprietors to dispose of their land for building chapels and schools similar to the act now in force as regards railwaysar.d public companies. ("Oh," and laugh- ter.) What would be the result if such an act was pissed ? (A voice "The Workhouse," and laughter.) Well, I don't know quite that, but first they would have to prove that the additional accommodation was required, and they would then have to pay the full value of the land in place of obtaining it as they now do by merely payiug a nominal rent. (Cheers) The election is over, aud we have been beaten, mainly through the cause to which I have alluded, but Parliaments do not last for ever—(hear, hear) -and I have no doubt that when the first opportunity offers the Conservatives of Carnarvon with resume the position they so long held. (Loud cheers.) Let us drink with all the honours the health of the Hon. Mr Pennant, and the Hon. Mr Wynn. (The toast was drunk with musical and other honours, and amid much cheering.) Song—" There's a good time coming." The [Ion. G. Douglas Pennant was received with tremendous applause by the company, who rose and enthusiastically cheered him for some minutes. H" said Air Chairman and geutlemen, on rising to return thanks for the enthusiastic and flattering manner in which you have received the mention of my name, I do so feeling that this is an occasion of no ordinary impor- tance. I cannot help feeling deeply sensible of the honour of meeting so large an assembly this evening, and I trust that I am putting the right construction on the motiveswhich prompted the giving of the banquet- (clicerB)-wheulsaythatllo(,k upouitnot only intheiight of a personal compliment to my honourable friend and myself, but as a special mark of the attachment which it felt towards the Conservative cause, of which I lately had the honour of being your representative. (Loud cheers.) Although this is a season of general festivity throughout the country, I do not suppose that any other persons in the position of candidates who have been defeated in the contest for parliamentary honours have met with such a reception as has been accorded to us this evening. (Cheers.) This reception, in my opinion, aligurswell for the future of the Conservative cause in this neighbourhood. (Cheers.) Although we have sustained a defeat, our arms, in my opinion, are in noway tarnished -(cheers) t,y the result of the day having been in this case proclaimed adverse to our hopes. Our arms, I say, are in no way tarnished for we fought a good tight our enemies, I trust, will never again have the opportunity of taking us at such a disadvantage as they did at the recent election. (Hear, hear.) For the last twenty-five years they have been skilfully and assidu- ously recruiting their forces and organising their strength, and they have come down upou us this time in a manner we were not prepared to withstand. They had secretly preparedamine charged with fanaticism and pre- judice. (Cheers,and a voice screw seiat.") They have by these means overwhelmed us and temporarily destroyed most of the good work that has been done in this county. (Hear, hear.) In justice to the people of this county I must say that I do not believe they would have resorted to this system of warfare if they had not received instructions from without—(hear, hear) -and in order to trace the source whence these instructions emanated we need only revert to a meeting held in Liverpool early in June last. (Hear, hear.) That was a meeting held for the purpose of organising opposition to the return of Conservative members for Wales to that meeting Mr Bright was invited, and we have only to look at the report of that gentleman's speech to see that he has been the mainspring of this movement. (Cheers and hisses.) He artislically dangled a bait be- fore the eyes of the nonconformist bodies in this coun- try, which they could not resist. Under the carefully veiled pretext of general disestablishment he persuaded them to give him their support: they seized the bait with avidity, and by so doing bound themselves to that party which is pledged to support the Roman Catholics, who have ever been their greatest enemies. (Cheers) In order that there should be no misconception of his words, I will quote them from Mr Bright's speech at Liverpool. inli Bright said, speaking of State Church Establishment in Knglaiul that circumstances are now wholly changed. The Christian Church in the United Kingdom is composed cf many churches, and clearly the establishment of any one of them must be in some degree au offence to the others." It is quite clear that these sentiments will not go down with the general Christian public in England that there is a very strong Protestant feeling in the country which will not tolerate them, is clear from the result of the elections in Lanca- shire, and the disaster which befel Air Gladstone, which I hope has made him a wiser, if not a better man. (Cheers.) A circular which I have lately received from the Calvauistic Methodist body in this county prompts me to call your attention to it for a few moments. From that circular it appears that for reasons best known to themselves, theCalvinistic Methodists have thought fit to assume that everything which has been saidin the late election (with reference to undue influence on the part of the chapel people) applies to them. (A Voice: "The cap fits them," and cheers). This circular expresses a regret that a gulf should exist between the aristocracy of our land and their Nonconformist neighbours. (Laughter.) Fur myself, I deny that any such gulf does exist—(hear, hear)-aud I deeply deplore that the idea of there being any such gulf should exist in the minds of our Nonconformist neighbours. (Hear, hear.) The circular states also that the honourable candidates for the counties and boroughs in this part of the world have made use of expressions that are unbecoming to gentlemen in their position. Now I, as one of the recent candidates, take this opportunity of denying that I have ever made use of any contemptu- ous expressions towards any gentleman who is worthy of my respect. (Cheers) Towards the end of this document I see an apology for a certain number of their chnpt-ls having been used for holding public meetings in connection with the elections, and they say that this was contrary to au express lesolution, which, however, from the reports we have seen in the newspapers of the various meetings throughout the county, seems to have been systematic illy violated, and treated with deiiauce. (Hear, hear, and a voice, It was. ') Going to the con. cluding words of this document, I seeit stated that nothing wasdoue to justify the unfounded charges brought against them. ("Oh," aud laughter.) With reference to that, perhaps I may L-c allowed to give as an instance the an- swer 1 myself received from a Nonconformist elector on asking hitn for his vote. He replied, "I am certainly iuchned to give you arj vote, but I am placed in a somewhat difficult position: the minister, in whose word I have been brought to lieliove, tells me that if I do so the gates of heaven will be closed against me." (Hear, "Shame!" and "Screw seiat." If,this is, to quote the woids of this document, merely exhorting the people to act conscientiously, then I think there is every ground for the charge of undue influence. (Cheers,) With regard to the future prospects of the Conservative party in this county, it is quite evident from the statistics shewn at the close of tne recent election and from what we have seen this evening that there is no lack of zeal and en- thusiasm to carry us on to victory-(cheers) -always pro- vided that that zeal and enthusiasm be directed into tho proper and legal channels. (Cheers.) It may not be known to all in this room that there has been for many years a Conservative association in tuis county, krlear, hear.) That Conservative association, I regret to say has more or less fallen into oblivion but it now becomes our duty to put that association upon a different footing altogether-(loud clicers)--ati(i I feel convinced from what I now know of the feelingof the cotinty,that if the registration from this time forth be only properly attended to--(bear,hear)-we shallfind that theConservative cause is established on a surer foundation,and on a firmer basis than hitherto, and so established that it -can withstand the rudest attacks of our enemies. (Cheers.) I beg in conclusion to thank each, all, and every one of you gentlemen, and the electors who came forward an 1 gave me their support at the recent election,and I assure them that they will always find me willing, heart and soul, to co-operate with them in the cause of the constitutional party. (Loud cheers.) The Hon. T. J. Wynn (who met with a similar hearty reception) said—Mr Chairman and gentlemen-My honourable friend has 30 taken the wind out of my sails -has so exhausted that which I intended to say with reference to the Conservative cause that there is noth- ing left for me but to return you my most grateful and sincere tbarikii-to the Chairman "or the manner in which he proposed it, and to you for the manner in which you have responded to it. All I can say is thatf" any feeling of despondency, pique, or irritation which might have generated from having been a defeated candi- date has been quite obliterated as regards myself and I think I may say the same for my honourable frielld- (cheers) -by the very magnificent way in which you have met to do us honour, ('heers.) It is a very old saying that it is useless crying over spilt milk." Well our milk has been spilt—(laughter)—we have been de- feated, and we know that our cause has lust all we can do is to look forward. (Cheers.) It is my opinion —whatever that opinion may be worth—that we shall not have to wait a very long time before we have an. other general election—(cheers)—and I will content my- self with saying that when that general election does arrive we may find ourselves to all intents and purposes propel ly prepared. (Hear, hear.) It matters not who our candidates may be I trust that when the time does come we shall find a candidate—(A Voice Your- self," aud cheers)—a gentleman ready and willing to oppose the enemy, whether his denomination be Capt. Jones Parry, or Mr Bulkeley Hughes. (Laughter and cheers) I am quite certain you will also agree with me that whether we have been defeated or victorious, we could never have offered ourselves to a more free and enlightened constituency than that of Carnarvon--( cheers aiill laughter)-to a constituency less likely to be biased by either public or private opinion. (Laughter.) As I said before it is no use recriminating—to do so would be useless and absurd, and probably if I attempted it I should talk an immense deal of nonsense. (Laugh- ter.) We might, it is true, speculate a little ou the future, but that you can do yourself. All that remains for me is to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year; and very many of them. Before sitting down I should be very glad to propose the toast of The Conservative Cause." (Loud cheers.) Mr Puwell- Will you allow me, sir, to say a few words upon the subject of the toast which has just been responded to, and to take this opportunity of doing what is highly necessary in correcting an impression that is sought to be maile with respect t. us. We, the Tories, are denounced as people whose olily object is to oppress the middle and more especially the lower classes. Instead of that being the case, the very term Conseiva- tive, implies that all we ask is to preserve things as they are. (Hear, hear.) The reason why I, as a humble individual, would wish to preserve the present state of things is, that I, in my sphere, enjoy an amount of liberty sufficient for any being to enjoy we do not deny the same to all,-all that we ask is that the insti- tutions which have made England what it is should he continued to us and to our posterity. (Cheers.) Unfor- t matoly we have been represented at the recent elections through the length and hreadth uf the land as people wil- ling to fatten on the sufferings of the lower classes. I ask, in the presence of this large assembly well acquainted with the county, who have been, when religious mat- ters have not been imported, more respected and looked up to than the aristocracy of Wales? (Cheers.) Refer- ence has been made to a meeting held in Liverpool early last June, and it was then stated that landlords had op pressed their tenants for the votes they hadgiven,and noble- men and gentlemen in the principality were denounced as the most oppressive of maukind. It was stated, too, that ejectments had been served upon tenants iu the most cruel manner possible. I now am speaking aiter an experience of forty years in connection with proceed- ings of the kind referred to, after thirty years repre- sentation of some of the largest estates in this county, and I can scarcely call to my recollection an instance in which, upon any grouud, it has been my unpleasant duty to force an ejectment upon anyone. (Cheers.) Well do we know—and I make no distinction of party in saying it,—that in the Counties of Carnarvonshire and Anglesey a tenancy under a leading proprietor is paramount to a lease-an interest, in fact, descending from father to son, and from generation to generation. (Hear, hear, and cheers) I should be glad, indeed, if I would be made instrumental in disabusing the minds of my poorer fellow-countrymen of the ideit that the kinduess shown them by the wealthier class from time time is exhibited for personal purposes, and not for the benefit of the county at large. (Hear, hear) I am not ashamed to confess myself more than a Conservative- I am a Tory—(hear, hear)-ati(I the older I grow the greater Tory I becomo When I look around me far and near- -whether to America or other parts of the globe, I see nothing like Knglish liberty. (Hear, hear.) I see nothing to induce me to leave my own countiy or to adopt the institutions of others. (Hear, hear.) I would ask my Dissenting brethren, and in no ungene- rous spirit, in the name of common sense, are there no witues,es to the liberality of the country gentlemen to them in former years. (Cheers) Where, I ask, but for the liberality of the landed proprietors of this county, would have been those fine buildings we see about the country—four or five, even twelve, in one parish? (Cheers.) Dissent is a necessary and inevitable incident to the imperfection of things here below but the clergy and the Dissenters have hitherto continued to live in peace and harmouy, each doing his best in his vocation and station to promote the interests and well-being of all classes of the commu- nity. (Hear, hear.) I am old enough to remember with reference to Dissent, Mr John Klias and others, and I venture to assert my belief that if that venerable indi- vidual were still liviutr, he would have set bis face against the step which has recently been taken in this country by the Dissenters. (Cheers.) I ask the Dis- seuters of Wales to believe that the upper classes in the country are their best friends, and that they would do nothing prejudicial to there but, on the other hand, would promote the beat interests of them and ttieir fellow-countrymen. (Cheers) I will not be so intole- rant as to say that everyone who professes what are called Liberal opinions are Revolutionists—far be it from me to say anything of the kind, though it is true, and it is possible the measures they advocate may ulti- mately tend in that direction. (Hear, hear.) I liave trespassed at great length. upon the patience of this meeting, but I trust you will permit me a minute more to advert to an observation made by the honourable gentleman who recently contested the county. Mr Pennant hit upon the most essential point with refer- ence to elections when he said that it was necessary to attend to the Registration. (Hear, hear.) That cannot be doubted-we have not only the honourable gentle- man's authority, but the authority of that great states- man, Sir Robert Peel, that that was where the battle was to be fought. I trust, as the hon. gentleman has suggested, that mere attention will be paid to the Re. gistration of this county. Matters may be in a tetter state when we next encounter the enemy, and I trust overcome him but I would impress upon you all that if the Registration is to be conducted properly, it must not be left to two or three individuals, either with re- gard to their purse or otherwise. Each individual must put his hand into his pocket, and not only that, Out he must render assistance. (Cheeri ) That, I say, has hitherto not been the case. Individual gentlemen, it is true, have been liberal in the matter, but the mass of the constituency have taken no interest whatever in it, and the number of subscribers to the association has been comparatively small. (Hear, hear.) Allow me to say in conclusion, that I hope Conservatism will prevail, not only as long as I live, but as long as this kingdom continues. (Cheers.) The Chairman-I call upon you to fill a bumper to to the health of the Lord-Lieutenant—(loud cheers)— who has never failed to advance the local intare-ts of the county as much as Jay in his power. (Hear, hear.) Lord Penrhyn represents what a true Englishman ought to be, not only as a landlord, but in every position in which he has been placed. (Loud and long continued cheering.) Song—"The fine old English gentleman." The Hon. Mr Pennant-Oeutlemen, in the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant I feel that the duty of returning thanks 0n his behalf devolves upon me. No one regrets more si.icerely than I do that lie is not present, not only to hear The fine old Knglish gentleman so admirab y sung in his honour (lelieei,i,)-Utit also to have been con- vinced by the acclamations with which his name has been received, that his conduct in this part of the world has been appreciated, not "nly in the light of The fine old English gentleman, but al.o as a country gentleman, who ha, felt. it bis duty to do as much goo<l as possible for the people among whom he lives. (Loud clwerR) His motto has ever been" Deeds, not words." (Cheers ) I only wish that more would follow his example. (Hear, heir.) I regret deeply to state that during the progress of this election persons have been found unscrupulous eLough wantonly to asi.,iil-(" shame ")—and they have taken the opportunity of doing so knowing that he in his position as a peer could not come forward to defend himself. (Hear, hear, and "shame.) They have said that this county for 25 years has been misrepresented by him. ("No no. ) That has been stated frequently through the medium of the Radical press. (•' Shame.") To you who know him so well, it is needless for me to say a single syllable in his behalf. To the charge that his voice was not sufficiently heard in the House of Parliament in their behalf, all I would say is that though his voice was not heard in that peculiar style of declamation in favour of some of the measures they de- sired, his voice was heard, and his advice was felt in the councils of the nation to which you returned him as yonr representative. ( l,oiid cheers.) I have now the pleasurable duty of proposing to you the health of a gen- tleman who gave me his very hearty support during the past election—a gentleman who has for many years been identified with one of the largest properties, not only in this Deighbourhood, but the ramifications of which ex- tend throughout the county. Wherever his influence extends, we find advantageous improvements to property effected, and whatever good can be done is done by him in a hearty and sincere manner. (Cheers.) I cannot help thinking, as I stand here, of the feeling of pride that the original founder of this room would have expe- rienced could he have seen this splendid assembly gathered here this evening. (Cheers.) We should not have the opportunity of doing so had it not been for the house of Vaynol. (Cheers.) This room was originally built in order to promote social gatherings, and if I am not mistaken that feeling has made itself manifest this evening. This is the first occasion that I have ever seen it filled, and I don't think we shall ever see it filled again in a better way than that of doing honour to Conservatism and of promoting its advancement. ( I I ear, bear.) I beg to propose you the health of our Chairman, Mr Duff. (Loud cheers.) Althongh he has been suffering from severe indisposition he has come here to-night at the risk of his health to preside over ns. (Cheers) He has done ns the honour of personally attending here, but I think I can take.upon myself to say that had he been prevented doing so his son was ready and willing to come forward in his place. (Loud cheers.) I bore you will join me in drinking, with three times three, Prosperity to the house of Vaynol. with the health of Mr Duff and Mr Assheton Smith. (Much cheering.) G\ee-" Life's a, humper." The Chairman—I thauk Mr Pennant for the way i-n which he has proposed my health, and I thank you most, cordially for the manner in which you have responded to it. At one time I was afraid it would be impossible for me to take this chair because of illness I should much have regretted if that had been the case, for I fed sensibly the honour of presiding over so large and influential a meeting. (Cheers.) Mr Assheton Smith (who was greeted with extraordi- nary enthusiasmi said: Mr Chairman and gentlemen, I beg to return thanks for the manner in which you have received the mention of my name, I am very glad to be here this evening, 0, cause of certain reports that have been circulated about during the past election. One of these was, some day or other I intended to come forward as a Liberal. (" Oh," and laughter.) Now, such an idea has never entered my mind, aud I wish emphatically to deny it. (Loud cheers.) The best possible proof I can, I think, give of that is my presence here this evening. (Great cheering.) The Hon. Mr Wynn briefly proposed the health of the Vice-chairmen, Messrs Whitehead, and Turner and Dr Clias. Millar. (Cheers.) Song-" I'd rather be au Englishman." Mr Whitehead responded at some length, but his ob. servations were very imperfectly heard at the upper end of the rootu. He was understood to say that since he came into the room, he had heard of a gentleman who was asked if he had been invited to the funeral." He would appeal to them whether this assembly looked like a funeral. (Laughter.) Neither would the glorious cause of Conservatism in Carnarvonshire or elsewhere resemble a funeral if tie Conservatives only bestirred themselves. ( H ear, hear.) The next time they met them he fondly hoped it would not be to celebrate a de- feat, but the Victory of one, if not of both, of the two gentlemen who honoured them that eveniug with their presence. (Cheers.) The question at issue was whether Knglaud was to be the seat of Romanism—whether the Protestantismwhichhad made usglorious, wastogiveway to the dominion of the Pope. (Cheers, and" never.") He was very glarl several previous speakers bad attended to the necessity of the organization of a Conservative association because it relieved him from saying that whicb otherwise he had iutended. lie could not sup- pose that the object of this large gathering was simply that they should enjoy themselves; he apprehended that they intended to lay the foundation stone of future pros- perity, and to establish an association embracing not only the class of men present to-night, but all classes— (cheers)—working men, as well its the rich, and he had on good authority that a large number of the working men were Conservative to the back bone. (Loud cheers.) As had been well said they must not allow their en- thusiam to escape with the fumes of the champagne- a solid and real organization must be formed, and in this be woold copy their opponents (Hear, bear.) He echoed the suggestion of Mr Powell that they must put their hands into their pockets in order to provide funds for carrying out the registration, and he asked them to do this with no niggardly hand; money was the sinew of war in this country, and in order to ensure success they must have funds at their disposal. So far as he himself was concerned he said he had previously put his name down for £10, but if that was not considered enough he should be happy to increase it to £20, (Loud cheers.) Mr Whitehead concluded his remarks by urging upon Conservatives to support a press that would dis- semminate their principles and combat the assertions of their opponents. MrTu i ner and Dr Millar returned thanks. Thelattersiid — Mr President andUeutlenien,—It was not my intention to address you this evening, butasyou, Mr President, have so kindly intimated to me that I may propose a toast, I cannot resist the temptation of saying how proud I feel at the honour of being present, and contributing in any way to this magnificent Conservative banquet; and I trust that at no distant, day I may again be present when our honourable guests are the victors instead of the vanquished. (Cheers.) I may say that I took a keen in- terest iu the late strllggle,-for I have the Conservative cause deeply rooted in me,—and I can assure you that it was with no small feeling of anxiety that I met llJiluyeqllally anxious gentlemen every Friday, (whose faces I see now scattered around these tables) and com- pared notes of the past week, we" by week, to meet with a great number of broken promises, absenteeism, and a grim column of names who were neither cold nor hot, and fit only for rejection; but, more than all, we had a well organized host opposed tons. (i lear, hear.) It has been well said by Mr Whitehead, that we must now at- tend to the registration-we must make ourselves ac- quainted with every elector throughout the length and breadth of the county. (tlear, near.; i reel greatly cheered at this evening's meeting, and feel persuaded that we have a very promising rising generation amongst liS; that, in fact, we have a better time coming." (Cheers.) There is not, I am sure, an educated man in this room who has not heard and does not know That there is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads ou to fortune;" and let us he prepared when the next day of battle arrives, to embark when the tide serves, and we shall then escape those shoal sand quicksands into which we drifted on the late occasion. And now, Mr President, let me thank you for the privilege you have granted me of proposing a toast, and it is the health of a gentleman whose absence I much regret but as his letter stated, it was from unavoidable causes, and I am sure his heart is in the right place. I will give you the health of One of the grand Conservative pillars of the county, Mr Lloyd Edwards." (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Richard Priestley responded on behalf of his uncle, to whom he said it was extreme sorrow and regret that he was unable to be present. The Dean cf Bangor proposed the health The Hon- orary Secretaries," Messrs Haywood and Jones. No men could have been more active and energetic in the duties they had had to peiform, aud though of course as inhabitants of Bangor they had predilection for that town as the scene of this banquet they gave up their own feelings in favour of Carnarvon. (Cheers.) Glee-" The Witches," Mr Haywood, in responding, acknowledged on behalf of his brother secretary and himself, the very kind assistance they had received from the members of the Rub cotiit-uittee. If he said they had by their exertions been enabled to make the banquet a success they were more than repaid, when they looked around the room and saw so large an assemblage numbering amongst it the most influential men of the county. (flear, hear,) Availing himself of the privilege of making a speech, or telling a story, he said he would with their permission relate to theui a short tale he heard on the occasion of the declaration of the county poll, and which with a slight alteration might be made applicable to this case. Four gentlemen sat down to a rubber of whist, two of them (who were partners) with very (lirty hands. A di.sciis,i,!ii ensued, aiid one player said to these two "If dirt be trumps what a hand you will hold." (Laughter.) Now a similar rubber had receutly been played iu which the h< nouiable gucKtfi i,f thrt ever.itjg lad been con- fronted with (apt. JoiKslarry and Mr Bulkeley j Hughes. (Renewed laughter ai d cheers.) '1 he rubber was over. and their i pponei ts had won the game by "Odd tiieks only—(laughtei )—and not with the cleanest of hanos. (Cheers.) Mr Charles Bulkeley proposed Ti e Conservative Press," with the health of Mr Douglas, of the North ll'a/ca Chronicle. The Hon. Mr l'ennant, gave Our absent frieBds, and the company then separated.

BANGOR LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. An ordinary meeting of this board was held on Thursday last, the 24th inst. 1resent--Tlie Iliglit Hon, Lorel Penrllyn, chair. man Messrs Charles Bfcknell, (;eorge Simpson, John Roberts, Morgan Iiichanls, and Mcshach Koberts. The (iarth Foreshore.—The Clerk reported that he had made an application to the lord Bishop roneemlng the foreshore be- low (jlandwr Terrace, and had received an answer to the effect that the land was leased to Lord Penrhyn. He had also made a tracing for Captain Iremonger, who said that the land belonged to the Lord Bishop. It was stated that the trustees of the late Mr Gregory had given their consent to cart the rubbish to the shore. His Lordship said he dM not know of any objection at pre- sent, but if the Clerk would just make a note of it, be would make enquiries, llo held the ground under lease, and the question was, whether he had a right to grant permission with- out consulting the oa iier. However, he would make enquiries, as he had purchased a part of the shore some years ago from the CoiiiiialisioLers. The Recreation Ground.—At the last meeting of the board the Clerk applied for permission to make a croquet ground and bowling green on the mountain but the matter was deferred, In order to obtain the opinion of Lord Penrhyn. His Lordship asked the Clprk on what part of the mountain he proposed laying out the grounds. The Clerk said he proposed laying them out on the top of the mountain, but he was afraid it was rather late in the feftson now. Mr Bicknell was of opii ion that there was ro room for a bowl- ing green a croquet ground might be easily formed. The Clerk said there was plenty of room for both a croquet ground and bow,ing green. Mr Bicknell said there was no doubt there were two or three spots that might be converted into croquet grounds, and now was the time to uo it. The Chairman said he supposed there could be no objection to the Clerk's proposal; at least, he had none whatever. Now was the time to do the work. The Penrallt Road.—Mr Bicknell reported that In company with the surveyor (Mr Edwards, he had examined the Penrallt Road last Saturday, and his opinion was, that the road ought to be taken over by the board of lieallh. The road was a short cut to Upper liangor by Tanrallt and Penrallt, and it was much nearer to that part 'If Upper Bang, r than any other way, In going up the road he found that there was a well there, which had been there from time immemorial, he supposed, and no one ever heard of its beingdry. It was now and had been filled up by a quantity of rubbish, but there was an immense flow of water even now. There was B great portion of the land on the left hand aide and above the well without any kind of protecting wall, so that the earth fell down and filled the well, and the owners of that land should be called upon to erett a wall. A drain als > might easily he taken up there, The owner ought to be called upon to continue the Mall down to where the well stood. The expense of making the rnad would be but trifling, as there was plenty of material to be had there. If these improve- ments were done, there was a lady in the neighboui hood who would cover the well, lay a pipe to it, and bring the fonntain to the t-orner of the Toad. Some years ago, Mr Hugh Roberts, who was the owner of the land above, wanted to take this well into his fields. And he promised to keep the supply of water open to the public, but there was a strong opposition raised by the inhabitaLts of the town, and the matter diopped, If the road was handed over to the board, then th-y could place two lamps there, which would light the road well eneugh. The ( liairiiiati asked if Mr Roberts claiuiedthe road? Mr Simpson said he did not. The Chairman -Could we get that in writing from him? Mr Bicknell said the well was in the road. The Clnirman Then there is no question as to right ? Air Bickiiell- Vojic at all. The Chairman asked who repaired the road, was it ever re- paired by the Board of Health ? Mr Bicknell said they had discussed that question at the last meeting, and it appeared that no one had replied it. The Chairman said he believed there used to be a gate at one end of the road. It might perhaps be an occupation road only,, but the fact that the public were allowed to use it did not make it a public road, because if there had been a gate ser, as, that proved that it was a private road. If the owners of the pro- perty adjoining would let it be a public roa t, it would no doubt be a great convenience. Mr Cicknell said it would only take three days to put it all right. Several members sugcsted that the owners he requested to repair the road, and then transfer it to the Hoard of Health. The Chairman did not think it very fair to ask the owners to put it in repair and then hand it over to the board, especially when they were asked to give it up for the sake of the parish- ioners. In that case it would be hardly fair to as'< them to give the road up after repairing it. On the other hand if they were asked to give it up for their own convenience it would then be perfi-ctly fair to ask them to put it in good condition. Mr Morgan Richards said that the expense would be very trifling. Mr Siiiipson--Not worth talking about. Mr gickncll s tid th,'re wis a wall in one part, and there was a depth of s x or seven feet The only expense of any conse- quence would be to build a protecting wall. Mr Ricii-ar(is-I think it would be best to do merely what they ask now —just put onH lamp there. The Chairman asked who, besides himself, were the owners of property the-e ? Mr Bicknell named the Lord Bishop and Mr HJlgh Roberts. Mr J olin Roberts said that some of the land on the upper road had been rec ntty sold to different parties, and they were desirous of hand ng the road over to the board. TIle Chairman said that the question with regard to Mr Hugh Roberts wft", whether they had a right to compel him to put up a wall l he: e. The Clerk said he had no doubt Mr Roberts would build a wall there if he was only a-hed, The Chairman said he did not object now, but he would like to have time to ascertain from this to the next board whether there was anything in the way. One thing, there was a tenant th,re I and he thought that tenant ought to be consulted. With that reservation, he had no objection at all. The Clerk had better write to Mr Hugh Robe'ts to ask if he had any objection, and also to the Lorti i isliop. The road appeared to have been used the some as a public road, and it was certainly a great con- venience to the Upper Baogor people. The question was would the ratepayers of Lower Bangor object, as it was a greater benett to Upper ttangor. Mr Bicknell thought the Lower Bangor people would be bene- fited as well- in fact, it would be a couvonience to the whole town, because it was very difficult for aged and infirm people to go round the o'her way to Upper Bangor. After some further conversation, the Clerk was requested to write to Mr Hugh Roberts, to ask if he had any claim to the road as a private road. The question of a lamp being placed there was deferred. Anothir Gift by Lord Pepirhyn.-Tliere being an item in the legal expenses of the past quarter of J,12 12s 4d, for the deed of conveyance for the Bangor Recreation Ground, the Chairman said he would pay the amount, so that the board might not go to any exper.se in the matter. His Lordship, turning to Mr John Roberts, humorously added-" Whenever you hold a public meeting on the top of the mountain there to denounce me you will not be able to say that you have paid anything for giving the place over to you. (l aughter.) Mr Roberts—It will be a long time before that takes place, my lord. The Chairman—I don't know indeed. (Laugl '.er.) However, I will sign this cheque for you. Cfnitnfor Compensation. —Mr Griffith, Albert Hotel, attended the board to claim compensation for injuries sustair cd by his mare on Saturday morning last, the 19th inst. He complained that the cutting in the street by MrG David's chop had not been properly filled up, and its the mail cart was going over about four o'clock on Saturday morning, the m ire fell down and in- jured her knee. This. he alleged, would not have takc-n place bad the str<-et been raised to its proer level. The Clerk denied that there was any neglect in the filling up, and said if he had to do the work over again he would not do it differently. The danger could not have been averted, except by keeping a man on the spot all night. The hollow complained of was not at all dc, p, there being only a depression of two feet in an area of four feet six inches. lie would invite the board to examine the spot, as it was close by- He had advised Mr Grif. fttli to lay his complaint before the board. The Chairman said Mr Griffith had brought his complaint to the wrong quarter, as the Inspector of Highways was responsi- ble for the proper condition of the street, and Ilr Griffith should in the first instance have gone to him. The Board of Health and Gas Company were to repair the streets to the satis- faction of Mr naywood. The Clerk, after s »me conversation had taken place, asked if he would get the permission of the board to hang a lamp in future at places where the streets were cut up 1 Permission was allowed. The Chairman said the board would accompany Mr Griffith after the meeting was over to examine the spot where the acci- dent took plce, Mr Griffith thanked his lordship, and withdrew. A number of cheques having bt-en sianed, the board rose, and proceeded to examiue the street near Mr Griffith Davies's shop.

THE LATE ELECTION FOR THE COUNTY OF DENBIGH. A circular having been issued by Mr Osborne Morgan's Committee, and to the supporters of Colonel Myddelton Bid- dulph with a view to explain the charges brought against Mr Morgan, and to exculpate them from the imputation of having CI mmitted a breach of faith at the last election for Denbigh- shire,— We, the undersigned, having assembled this 22nd of Decem- ber, 18C8, to consider the same, do hereby record our views on the matter Firstly,—We are satisfied that a preconcerted arrangement was made to bring up and plump for Mr Osborne Morgan a large number of voters, and most strenuous tfforts were made to carry it out. Secondly,—We hold this to be a breach of faith with colonel Myddelton Bidduiph, and we say that it was the duty of a gen- tleman who had previously disavowed all intention to oppose the old Liberal member, however gre:it the disappointment, and self-denial on his part, to have told his committee as a point of honour that he would retire unless they kept faith with Colonel Bidduiph and we state that Colonel Hiddulph's seconder did not 1,Iump for him until he saw the plumping going on in favour of Mr Morgan.

A protest was read, signed by Mis Williams, Castellior, and Mr John Hughes, Marian, against the award to Mr Robert Owen, Nant, for his sheep in class .J,-as the parties -igning the protest did not come forward to sup- port it, the committee did not entertain it. And we Way add that strong expressions of diss itisf ictiou were made against persons entering protests interfering with the award >i I iz,,s by the judges, and who do not afterwards came forward to substantiate their objections. The pre- mium, class 3, for the best colt calculated for harness was discontinued, and one for hunters substituted—as the latter are to .cap the hurdles it will be an addi- tional attraction to the show. The premiums for the mountain s heep were also discontinued-and there is to be a proviso in clas-es 2-1, 25 and, 27. that the ewes couipiting shall havij reared lawbs (ILiiiiig tlio seasou. The rule as regards sheep was also altered, namely, sheep having obtained a prize will not he allowed to compete for more tluin two consecutive years.
