THE DEVELOPMENT or HOLTUEAD HARBOUR. -I un. derstand (writes a London correspondent) that the Board of Trade officials have reported in favour of a scheme for strengthening the gigantic breakwater at Holyhead so as to minimise the danger to which is is subjected at every heavy storm, suoh as the one which has reoently swept over our coasts, by the erection of a "backing" upon the seaward side of tha WIIJI. It is also proposed to remove sdveral B'inken rocks that present considerable difficulties to ships entering the harbour, and detract largely from its utility, bat the soheme is not likely to be oarried out in its entirety, as the cost of theoomplete undertaking would be enormous. If, however, t it* Chancellor of the Exohequer is prepared to disburse the necessary funds, Holyhead will prove a danger- or-a rival to Milford for the Transatlantic traffio, iu.iamuch as its access to the great industrial oen- ties of the country is infinitely superior to that of the southern port. A BANGOR STUDENT IN AUSTRALIA.—Oar readers will be glad to hear that Mr Samuel Hughes, B.So., lite of Bangor (son of Mr Robert Hughes, printer, Well-street), has just bean appointed to a master- ship in the Scotch College, Melbourne.

This and a further exhibition from the same associa- tion enabled him to enter Friars Grammar School, Bangor. After finishing his school course he obtained after competition a special scholarship in chemistry at the University College cf North Wales, Bangor, which he held for three years. Mr Hughes was the first student to avail himself of the arrange- ment whereby stndeuts of the University College of North Wales may take two of the three years of the curriculum of the Edinburgh science degrees at Bangor. After one year's residence at Edinburgh Mr Hagnes successfully passed the examinations for the B.So. degree of Edinburgh University. OWEN MINFFORDD'S LATEST ACHIEVEMENT.—At Carnarvon, on Wednesday, Owen Williams, batter known IS" Owen Minffordd," a labourer at Bangor, was charged with escaping from custody. The prisoner, against whom there were a large number of previous conviotions, was being taken to Carnarvon prison, after committal at the Bangor Sessions, on a oharge of drunkenness. Whilst in the railway carriage lie managed to slip bis handcuffs, and on arrival at Carnarvon Station he bolted, leaving the officer hampered with the custody of another prisoner. He made his way by the sea-shore as far as Griffith's Crossing, and then worked his way across the mountains to Bangor, where he joined the woman with whom he was cohabiting. The pair tramped as far all Aberystwyth, and whilst aleeping under a haystack they were disturbed by a policeman. The prisoner ran away, and the woman, exasperated at being left in the lurch, split upon him. He was traced to a common lodging-house, and on the arrival of the police he escaped through the window, and getting on the roof of an adjoin- ing house kept them at bay for some time. Hs was sent for trial at the assises. A VALUABLE CLYDESDALE FOAL INJURED.—A oor- respondent wiites to us from Holyhead An acoi- dent which ia likely to result in the loss of a very valuable foal happened on Cloiflog Fawr Farm, tenanted by Mr R. Gardner, Valley, on Monday last. The previous week four foals were weaned from their mothers, and put into a small well- enclosed field behind the Valley Church. On Monday morning the sporting tenant, Mr Wrigley, Bodior, with his friends and keepers,went into this field in quest of sport. Finding some game, they fired four or five shots in quiok suooession, and the foals galloped round and round the field, making several attempts to leap the fences. The sportsmen then went over to tns next ifeld and, before getting eat tf it, fired again, which canssd the foals to gallop straight across the tIeld. The Clydesdale oolt foal made a leap at the stone wall, and got its fore legs over, and for some time was struggling with its fore legs on one side and its Lind leg. on the other, the sharp edges of the stones ontting it severely. An alarm was raised by a man who was digging potatoes near, and the farm bailiff was sent for, who, with the asalstanoe of the neighbours, liberated it, but not before the injary done was Dore. as eatim 'ted bv practioal farmers, than the landlord Sir R'11.
