LLANGEFNI SCHOOL BOARD.—A meeting, numer- ously and influentially attended, was held at the Town Hall, Llangefni, last Thursday week, with a view of arranging for the election of a new Board so as to avoid the nuisance and expense of a con- test. The rector being voted to the chair, Richard Jones, butcher, proposed that, as the rector pre- sided always, Mr Jenkins should take the chair. But Mr R. Jones's proposal found BO seconder. A resolution was proposed by Mr Thomas, postmaster. and duly seconded, that one member should be nominated for each denomination and the Estab- lished Church, which was carried unanimously with one exception. Afterwards the following dialogue took place :-Mr Richard Jones: I think one might be appointed as an independent member.-Mr Thomas: That would require a nominator and seconder, and I doubt if two foolish enough for tne purpose can be found in Llangefni.—Mr R. Jones: I think I can' find two to do that.—Mr Thomas: Possibly they might be got for a pint of beer. General cheering, amid which the meeting ) pleasantly terminated. It is to be hoped that none of the parishioners will be found foolish enough to abet certain people to throw an additional burden upon a parish already very heavily taxed.

L. He also in a few words touched on the falsity of the ory of "coercion" put forward by the Radioals, when they very well knew that the Crimes Bill was intended, and its sole effect would be, to restore liberty to the unfor. tunate Irish people, who were ground down by a oruel tyranny, only to be equftHdd by that of the French Convention in 1792. He also announced that two of the wardens, Mrs Partridge and Miss Yaughan, of Nannau, would be decorated with the order of merit with the approbation of the meeting, and the ratification of the grand couucil, and also Mr Richardson, the seorstary.
