PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Next week Parliament, assemble*, and not even during tie horrors of a Crimean winter of 1854-5, did the two houses meet under snch gloomy auspices. Then we had a brave army suffering under priva- (ions, which an administration moderatelv ac- j 0 quainted with its duties would have prevented but those privations were capable of being removed and there was nothing in the commercial or social posi- tion of the country to excite alarm. Is that the case now? We fear not. The immediate cause of the two houses being called together before the usual period of assembling, is that commercial crisis, which obliged Govern- ment to suspend the Bank Charter Act, to prevent a general crash. That crisis,—precipitated at the pre- lent moment hy the inability of the merchants and otlu-rs in the United States t to pay their debts, -would have come sooner 01' later, and therefore, perhaps, it is best as it is, for its basis !ies in the sys- tem of"unlilHited competition," introduced into our commei-cial fili(I trading tntnsactions-in the over- trading to which that system has given i?i?e an ii in the extension of credit. Fir beyond all reasonable limits, which bos recently taken place Bills,-in timits? which hasrecei)t)ytak)'npL<ce B.)s,-in of competent value, hut in a great many, only just worth the p??p,, they were written on, have usurped the p)acenfcash?and when that is the case, things may go on for a time. but a crisis must come, it can- not be prevented. That crisis we have now to meet; and how can the Legislature afford -,i i-eiiie(ly? may be asked. We do not believe that the Legis'ature flow has it in its power to cure the evils which its measures have mainly caused. If our commercial and trading legislation for the last thirty or forty years had tended to guard against instead of promoting speculation —bad it checked instead of creating compe!i.ion-had it strove to make the people of England and of the colonies dependent only on themselves, and not upon others, for the necessaries, and comforts and luxuries of life, and the raw material for our manufactures then, if we could not have avoided those mischances whitfh the variations of seasons and Providential visitations might occasion -I"e 'sllOlIld have had no such wide- spread distress to grapple with as we have at the present; when lie Gizette' eieb week presents its frightful list of bankrupts and insolvencies; and the stoppage of some large industrial estahlishments, and the putting of many others on short time, have thrown so many hands out of employ. According to tl,e Morning Post,' the Legislature is summoned now, merely oil account of the com- mercial pressure; and the only business which will be brought before it, will be connected with the Rank Charter. But we think the social position of thc, I country must be adverted tr) ttid not merely that, of its merchants. It is to be apprehended that there will be more persons unemployed this winter, than has been the case for some years. How are they to • be provided for! We think that the Poor Law re- quires sujp?nsion as well as the Bank Cliirter At —or rather, the principle of that !aw requires super- i vision, with a view to an essential change in the 1,, (, tice of Boards of Guardians. Some months ago, owing to the sudden suspension of building opera- tions in the metropolis, several thousand hands were thrown out of employ, and deprived of the means of subsistence Onapp?yin?forreUet.theywpretotd. to go to the wor k house or if out-d oor relief was afforded to them, itwa'.soseant.t?at it eareely suf. ficed to kep them from starvation, Now, we hold, j that in such cases, all honest and industrious labour- era,- and a man's character in th",e respects is well known to his neighbours and employers, -should be entitled to adequate relief at his own house. To in- aist upon his il) his establishment,and going into the poor-bouse, isfrequently tantamount to mak- ing him and his family paupers for life yet this is the principle of the poor-law, which, as a rule, prohibits relief out of the workhouse. If the Bank Charter Act is to be relaxed in favour of the merchants and traders, surely the poor- law ought not to be carried out in its rigour, at the expense of the comfort and independence of the working classes. We hear a good deal of the improvidence of those classes aii(i the I)aily News of Nlotida, preached a homily against those who purchased strawberries, spring chickens, and peaa,-who were represented at ,desening of little consideration. They do not deserve so much consideration, we are quite ready to admit, as those who are economical, and thoughtful, and saving, as well as industrious. But it is very few of the labouring poor who can buy spring chickens, even if they do spend every sixpence they can earn. Wages as a rule, except in some of the superior classes of mechanics and artizans, — will scarcely find a family necessaries,—certainly they will not admit of any saving that can furnish subsistence for any, but a very short period after work stops. In auch cases,—when a man wants relief, we repeat, he ought not to be compelled to go into the workhouse but should, at all events, have sufficient allowed him to support life at his own fire-side. The Nloi-ningr Post.' and the I Nlorning Post's' patrons cannot confine the discussions in the Legis- tature to domestic affairs,-even if no others are mentioned in the Queen's Speech on opening the Season. But, as there will scarcely be a second formal opeiiiiig,-ai) adjournment, and not a proro- gation, taking place in the Christmas week,-tbe policy of the Government must be developed some weeks sooner, than a fortnight back, ministers in- tended it should be. We shall hear what is contem- "later1 with respect to Itidia,-somctliiiim perhaps of Cltina; and a little about the Principalities, and other foreign matters. Of these subjects,—though the Chinese question was that which entirely influ- enced the elections, eight months igo,-Itidia is now the cnly one that the public take an interest in. With respect to that tainly truii on its side, when it says. that in regard to every point, the advice tendered by the Conserva- tive Leaders has been conspicuous for its sagacity, from first to last." They certainly recommended measures which would have made the glory acquired something more than an empty name,—as it would he-were the curtain «ow to drop upon the struggle, leaving each party in the position it occupies. Gra- dually the ministers are adopting those measures, but why were they not taken up at first? Now —if not too late," to prevent the re-establishment of English supremacy on an improved system, which we do not believe they are,-they are "too late to pre- vent the loss of many lives, and the expenditure of much money, that might have been saved. There are many rumours current as to Lord Palmerston's intentions concerning India. Some say, tl^at he in- tends to remove all the machinery of Government from Leadenhall,street to Cannon-row others, that he contemplate^settling affairs by a coup de theatre, -by proclaiming the Queen Empress of Hindostan and by making great changes in the internal ad- ministration of affairs. But if legislation is proceeded with in the present state of our information, we an- ticipate nothing hut disappointment. We have always maintained that a Commission should be sent out to India, to make enquiries on the spot; and that measures should be founded on their report.- The Daily News,' and other journals, now take this view; and we earnestly hope it will be acted upon, or a satisfactory result cannot be anticipated. In the mean time, we hope, that before we go to press, the bi-monthly mail will bring us intelligence of the further successes of our troops, and of the further discomfiture of the rebels. As to foreign matters, it will be very difficult to fix the attention of either Parliament or the public j upon them. But the. e is one spot-at some distance -to which that attentJolt "l1¡.(ht to be directed VJZ" Brazil. England was, with Brazil, the favoured na- tion but the conduct of Lord Palmerston and Lord Clarendon has alienate (I both Government and people. The United States,—whose Government has long been desirous of forming a closer con- nexion between that country and Brazil,— has just despatched an ambassador to Rio de Janeiro, with more pomp th,111 attends their embassies to Europe, atd armed with great powers,—to conclude a treaty with the Emperor,—ostensibly for the promotion of commercial intercourse, but really to form a politi- cal alliance, which will give the United States the suppoit of Brazil, in case they should be involved in II. quarrel with England, that might end in war. In uch a case, the Privilege of sending their privateers lato Brazilian ports, would be most injurious to English commerce, and of great value to the United States. Something of this sort is what President Bu- channan aims at. Will the English ministers be I adroit enough to prevent any tieaty being signed which will be inimical to our interests ? We fear not. I

INDIA. I Late on Wednesday, telegrams were received at the Foreign Office, and at the India House,-gi"?i,g the substance of the intelli¡!:ence brought by the In- dian Mail, which left Calcutta on the 2211d of Octo- her, and arrived at Suez on the 17th November. Five ships, with troops, had arrived at Calcutta; three at Madras; and seven at Galle. Havelock was still in the residency of Lucknow, with 1,500 men 1.000 more, with sick and wounded, were at Alam- bar, three miles off; the communication between the two was difficult, and the rebels were said to be in great force. Colonel Greathed, who left Delhi about the 28th of September, was on the way (o relieve Havel ock. It will be seen, from the telegram, else. where published, that he had encountered and de- feated the rebels, on several occasions, with great loss of men, cannon, and treasurebut the state- ment, in a supplemental telegram, that the 53rd and 93rd regiments reached Lucknow, about the 24th of October, must be considered as only what was ex- pected, not what had absolutely taken place, —as the dates from Calcutta are only to the 22nd. But that the gallant officer, his equally gallant troops, and the helpless women, children, and wounded, who are with them, will be saved from tlenlthless destroyer, we have full confidence,—so near was the succour approaching. The effect of the fall of Delhi has been beneficial in some districts for we are told, that, from Meerut and its vicinity, where the rebellion broke out, re- venue was brought in daily, and loyalty was the or- der of the day. But, strangely, as it would seem, —Maun Singh, an Oude Hajah, heretofore our friend, turned against us, when Delhi was stormed there had been a mutiny at Deesa; it was reported, that Scindia was murdered by his own people; and reports were rife of threatening disturbances at Hy- derabad;—the Nizam's capital, we presume, and not Hyderabad, in Scinde; as the steamer Caledonian had been ordered from Calcutta to :\Iasulipatum, i the nearest port to the former place, and that was nearly 2UO miles distant. We feel no alarm, however, at these tnuior deve- lopemeuts of a rebellious spirit. England has held her own with the small number of European troops which were in India when the revolt broke cut, and the few who were sent to China, and were arrested on their way; and we have no fear of her triumphant success, nor that her excellent soldiers must be reaching the scene of disturbance in thousands every week. The great evil to overcome is want of trans- port. This was so much felt that two large ships in tow of steamers, had been sent to Rangoon for elephants. We must refer our readers to the telegrams given in another part of our paper for lurther details;- and we hope that the fuller accounts which will be soon received, will shew that we have not taken too favourable a view of that with which the telegrams have furnished us.

PARLIAMENT, Which will meet on the 3rd of next month, will have, says Lord Palmerston in a circular to bis supporters, requesting their attendance, "most important busi- ness" immediately laid before it. The Morning Post,' his Lordship's morning organ, of Tuesday, tells us, that It is most manifest to every body, with a grain of sense, that nothing definite on tfie India question can be foreshadowed, still less can anything detinite be done, by Parliament, before January or Feb lulir And tfit? Globe,' the Pre- micr's evening 'i declares, "that there is no Authority whatever, for the statement, that we are to have a llefcrm Bill next session." The" important business," which will, therefore, be brought before Parliament, on Thursday next, will, no doubt, be financial. It will relate to the Bank Charter, and to a loan to the East India Company. It is surmised, that there will be some difficulty in obtaining the latter in the City; that, without the guarantee of Government, it will be impossible to effect it and that the Government in giving the guarantee, and asking Parliament to sanction the loan, will propose some change, in the Indian administration.—One report savs, — that Lord Palmerston means to make the Queen of Great Britain, Empress of Hindostan also. [We announced this several weeks ago.] An Appendix to the Report of the Select Commit- tee of the HOllse of Commons on the Bank Act, was published on Saturday. It contains the evidence of the bank directors, and their opinions of the Act of 184-1. Many of them wish for changes in that Act, -chiefly with a view of giving the Bank more lati- tude in time of pressure but only one, Mr. Palmer, is opposed to the Act in toto That gentleman thinks the much-lauded Act, encourages over-issues in pros- perous times, when bullion is plentiful, and interest low and that, in times of pressure, it renders the Bank powerless for good. We are inclined to think he is right. One of the directors, Mr Dobree, wishes to liberate the Bank from its obligation to buy all gold that may be bmught to it, at t3 17s. Gd. per oz. He thinks, if this obligation were removed, that the precious metal would find its market value or would be taken to the mint to be coined, and then any extra currency would be formed of sovereigns instead of bank notes. We shall have all these opinions ably supported, no doubt, in the Legis- lature. The monetary pressure has very much subsided in London; but many large houses have fallen and others are tottering. Distress and destitution are increasing. We have elsewhere adverted to the manner in which, we think, they ought to be treated; and we are very thankful, that as yet, our unemploy- ed workmen have not, and we trust they will not,- conduct themselves as the same class have done in New York. The fallacy of supposing that universal suffrage is a cure for all ills; and that the absence of an aristocracy must produce comfort and content amongst the masses,—is abundantly proved, at the present moment, by the condition of the labouring poor in all the large cities of the United States. Thousands are out of employ, and in the greatest distress; in New York, they have congregated in masses, having banners inscribed with the words, Work or Death" carried before them; and they have threatened such acts of violence, and assumed so menacing an appearance, that the Mayor felt him self obliged to send to Washington for military aid, to protect the public treasury, and other property. It is difficult to tell what will be the result. At the last accounts, the mob had contented themselves with violent speeches and threats; but the I New York Herald told us a week or two ago, that they would have work or war; —war somewhere. They were ready to go to Cuba or anywhere where any leader would take them. Now as they cannot get to Cuba, the fear is, that, if they cannot be set to work, they may make war at home. If they should, terrible indeed will be the result. We earnestly hope that the danger will pass ovei- and are hear- tily "thankful that no such danger threatens us.— From "rowdies," "fillibusters," and" socialists," thank God we have nothing to apprehend.

LLANBEDR.—An inquest was held at this place by E. G. Powell, Esq. coroner for the county, on the boilv of a little boy 18 months old, who, it appeared, had met his death by accidentally falling into some boiling water. GAIINAKVON.—SLATE TitADP.-There has been a considerable shipment and delivery per Railway of Slates, during t.he past week, from this port. This branch of trade appea.. to have been less effected by the late money panic than almost any other. HAF" D Y WERN SLATE QUAHIU-, NEAR BETTWS- GAKMON.—On Thursday last, all the effects on this Quarry, consisting of the stock of manufactured slates and materials, were sold by auction, under an execution from the Sheriff. A company was formed two or three years since to work this property, and it was repre- sented that they had great prospects of realizing largely in their enterprize. THE LATE ARTHUR HI!.L HOLME.- Death has taken prematurely flom his family,friends,and the public Ir, A:thur Holme, brother of his U'orship the Mayor of Liverpool. Being recently oppressed with business, he permitted a culd to linger about him, and even ago gravated it by making a tedious survpy in the country, The result was illness, and on Sunday last that illness proved fatal. Mr. Arthur Holme has left b hind him the memory of qualities which endeared him to his family and frind*, and a professional reputation which looks br.uht and distinct in the numerous buildings he designed. LL.VNDILO.—On the 12th inst., a married woman, -■ « siding at Gutter-rawr, started from home with the in- tention of depositing £ 2n in the Savings Bank. Before leaving home she took the precaution of sewing the purse and money inside her dress. On anivii:g in town, and when near the bank, she borrowed a knife from a man who was standing in a stall, loosened the purse and money, put it in her outside pocket, and went to the batik. On putting her hand into her pocket to pull out her treasure, she was thunderstruck on find- ing that it had disappeared. Information was at once given to the police, but neither palla nor money have eince been heard of. FLINT.—Sir Francis Knowles, Bart., has taken the Forge in this town for a steel works, and is now mak- ing every preparation to start it with spirit. LLANRWST,—The Llanrwst County Court was held on the 20th inst., before A. J. Jolines, Esq., Judge. There were ten petty-debt plaints, neither of which presented any features of interest. The business of the Court oc- cupied about an hour. HOLYWELL IMPROVEMENTS.—The inhabitants of Greenfield ha"e refused to co-operate with those of Ho- lywell, in erecting a Market Ha! though Lord Field- ing had given equivalent to £1000, and the Marquis of Westminster, and others, liberally supported the pro- posal. MOLD CHURCH.—A collection was made on Sunday, the 15-li inst., at the parish Church, MolIl, for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses of insuring the church fabric against fire. It is a wise precaution, and sug- gested probably by the lamentable conflagration at Ha- warden Church. DEKBIOII.—VALE OF CLWYD RAILWAY.— The works on this line are proceeding with great rapidity, and it is hoped, should the winter prove open, the line will be compi led for truffle early next summer. It is also in contemplation to form a company to supply the town with water. GREENFIELD.—FIUE.-— On Tuesday night last, Mr. Edward Hughes, Basingwork How. and his family, were alarmed by discovering that their shop was on fire. Several of the men from the Paper Mill were im- mediately on the spot, and, after about an hour's exer- tion, succeeded in extinguishing the flames. Mr. Hughes was insured in the Provincial. RHYL NEW Cifulteu.-A meeting of the inhabi- tants of Rhyl, was held on Saturday last, at the Na- tional School — the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph in the chair-to lake into conHideration the best site for erect- ing the sacred edifice. Four different sites were men. tioned, and it was ultimately decided that the architect should name the spot most eligible. ISCENDIAHISM. —PuLFonn, CHESHIRE.-On the night of the 13th insr., the stack yard of Mr. Edward Nail. greave, Moorfieid farm, was discovered to he in flames, and we are sorry to state that notwithstanding the kind and strenuous exertions of the neighbouring inhabitants two stacks of wheat, two of oats, and part of a hay stack were entirely eonsumod, There appears to be no doubt of its bcin the work of an incendiary. DENBIGHSHIRE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—The Hon. W. E. Fitzmauricc, who has accepted the command of the Kinmel troop, is the second son of the late Lord Viscount Kirwall, and only brother of the Earl of Orkney. The distinguished gentleman served for some years in the 9th Lancers, and subsequently in the 2nd Life Guatds, The Earl of Oikney and his brother were born at Lleweny. LLANASAPH.—An inquest was held at this place on 25th inst., on the body of Charles Athertuii, gardener b E. Bales, E^q.,Gyrn Castle, who died awfully suddenly on the previous evening-soon after partaking of some tea, with his family, he fell on the floor and expired without uttering a word. Verdict-" Died by the visit- ation of God." The poor fellow has left a wife and four children to deplore their loss. CHUISTMAB DAY: A THREE DAYS' HOLIDAY.—We have been reminded by a correspondent, who is a repre- sentative of a l trge class of the community, whose hours of business are both early and late, that the day fol lowing Christmas Day, which happens to be Saturday, will be a very uncomfortable day for business; and that, as the day preceding Christmas day is always observed as market day, no inconvenience would result from Saturday being observed as a holiday. LLANRHAIDR-YN-MOCHNANT BAPTIST CONNEXION.— This disspnting body held its annual meeting, on Thurs- day, the 19th inst. Two sermons were delivered on the previous evening, and six on the above day, by the Revels. J. Prichard, Llangollen R. Ellis, Sirhowy, and Evans, Newtown. The day, though wearing its win- terly garb, was most favourable on the whole, and the congregation mustered strong. A handsome collection was mails, towards lessening the debt remaining on the chapel recently erected in this village. THE SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS SOCIETY.—We would refer our readers to a paragraph headed Beaumaris, in proof of the great claims this Society has upon the assistance of a generous public. Moreover we would once again advise every sailor in Britain to belong to it, for not only does it in all cases provide for the shipwrecked, but in the case of members helps to clothe them afresh, and if drowned provides for their widows and fatherless children, a good round sum to start them in the world, and all this for a mere 2,. Gd, or 3s. a year. THE InoN AND COAL WORKS IN RUAEON PARISH. -It is much to be regretted that the consequences of the Bank failures in different parts of the count-y have already began to be felt in this parish among the forge- men, miners and colliers, as sever"lhundreds of those employed at the New British Iron Company's Works, have been put upon half time, and others entirely sug pendedf Plas Issa Blast Furnace is to be blown out, owing to the great loss sustained by its spirited pro. prietor, Mr. Giller, hy Bank failure. And others are very likely to follow the example of those above men- tioned. HOLYWELL.—SERIOUS FIRE. -On the morning of Thursday week, the premises occupied by Mr. Thos. Owens, joiner, Whitford street, were discovered to be on fire. The alarm was first given at about 4 o'clock, at which time one of the joiners' work shops contain- ing a considerable quantity of furniture, &c„ was in flames. Every effort was made to extinguish the de structive, element, and the surrounding neighbours rushed to the scene and afforded the greatest assistance. The loss is estimated atElOO, including upwardsofL4) worth of tools. The origin of the catastrophe is attri- buted to the fire in the grate not being extinguished the night previously. MONUMENT '10 THE 23D WELSH FUSILEEBS.—A monument is to be erected to the memory of the officers and soldiers of the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusileers who fell in the Crimea during the late Russian war. It is to be erected at the expense of Colonel Lysons, 25th Foot, late colonel of the 23rd, and the officers of that gallant regiment, and is to be placed in the Guildhall- square, at Carmarthen. The whole will be 30 feet in height, and formed of Portland stone, the base being 12 feet square. A handsome cast iron railing, in imita- tion of muskets and fixed bayonets, is to surround the. monument, on the shaft and pedestal of which will be inscribed the names of every officer non-commissioned officer and the rank and file who fell during the war, whether on the field or by disease. This appropriate tribute to a brave and gallant regiment, is to be ready for erection early next year. CUltADILITYOF CONSUMPTION.—This insidious disease sometimes, but incorrectly, described as an English malady, produced by the iuclemency or sudden changes of our variable climate, was once considered one of the opprobria medicince, affording little or no hope of relief or cure even in its earliest stage. Now, however, the united opinion of the Faculty, as well as the happy c. petience of many who have beeu fortunate enough to meet with Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver oil, containing some peculiar principle of great healing power which no other Cod Liver Oil possesses, concur in proving that at all.periods, and even in the most un- promising and seemingly desperate cases, the salutary and curative principles of this Oil will arrest the further progress of disease, and revive and restore the sinking patient. Dr. Radclyffe Hall, the eminent Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Torquay, who has used Dr. de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil extensively, both in hospital and private practice, in this celebrated resort of consumptive invalids, bears the following high testi- mony to its excellence;—t( I have no hesitation in saying that I generally prefer your Cod Liver Oil for the following reasons;—I have found it to agree better with the digestive organs, especially in those patients who consider themselves to be bilious; it seldom causes nau- sea or eructation it is more palatable t-i most patients than the other kinds of Cod Liver Oil it is stronger, and consequently a smaller dose is sutficent."

DEATH OF LADY NEWBOROUGH j Breathe all thy minstrelsy, immortat harr- I Breathe nllOlbera warm with love, whi1e J rehearae,- Delighted theme, resembling mo*t the songs Which day al1d night re sung before the Lamb t Thy praiae 0 Charily! thy lahonr most Divine, thy sympa liy with sih and tears And groans; thy great, thy God-like wish, to heal All mhery, all fortunes' wounds, and make The heart or every living thing rejoice. The lamented death of this estimable lady, took place at Torquay, from an attack of dysentery (not collsum tton? as stated in our last), on Wednesday, the 18th inst., where she had gone by the advice of her physicians, for change of air. Her remains were brought to Glynllifon on Friday night. It has thus pleased Ood. in his inscrutable Provi- dence, to cut her off in the midst of her days," leaving a large and youthful family to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate parent, and one who was endeared to them and to a numerous circle of sorrowing friends, by every gentle and Christian quality which could adorn the female character. To the poor, her loss will be a great cilaniity many a deed of unostentatious charity was done by her many a child whom she befriended, will rise up and call her blessed to the sick and needy her as- sistance and sympathy were ever freely given. Her delight was to deliver the poor and needy, and him that had no helper;" they cannot recompense her, but she" shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the Just." Her remains were laid in their long home, on Fri. day (yesterday), in the vault of the Glynllifon family, in the parish church of Llandwrog. The funeral was strictly private. The following was the order of proc". sion The Clergyman. The Physician. Bearers. THE BODY. Bearers. Lord Newborotigh, the Hon. Master Wynn, and other relatives Mr- Robert Thomas and Domestics. Mr. Robert Roberts and Workmen. Mr. Robert Ellis and Gardeners. Mr. Evan Evans and Nurserymen. There were eighty in number, and all wore hat- bands, and walked four abreast. The outer coffin was made of Spanish mahogany, two inches thick, highly polished, and mounted with massive bronze furniture. The undertaker was Mr. Richard Griffith, Turf-square, Carnarvon. NOTE.—There wme some iQaellracie in the notice "'? g:wc of the ,th of Ladv Newborough in our last publication.

j BEAUMARIS, SHIPWRECK —NO fewer than 10 poor shipwrecked seamen, arrived here by the Avon, Capt. Evans, from Quebec, on Tuesday. They belonged to the British barque Bangolore, of Fovvey, wrecked in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, on the 17th of October last, and were picked off the wreck after an anxious sus- pence offlve days, during which time, they were often up to their necks in water,'a terrific sea breaking over the ill-fated ship, the whole lime. OlJeand all seemed truly grateful to Captain Evans, for his great kindness to them during the passage home, as also to Mr. Smith, Collector of li.,M. Customs here, forconducting them to the Honorary Agent of the Shipwrecked Mariner's Society, who forthwith provided them with a good din- ner at the Star Tavern, and afterwards with money for the journey, and a passage by rail all the way to Ply- mouth. But for the help of the Society in question, they might have had to beg their way home hundreds of mile. off, their wives and families starving mean while! Sincerely do we trust a benevolent public will be lead by such acts to appreciate the vallie of the S. ciety more and more, and help to swell its funds a hun- dred fold. THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL, WREXHAM. -The new Chapel was opened for public worship on Thursday. It was built, solely at the expense of R. Thompson, Esq., late of Stansty Hall, near Wrexham, and is a beautiful specimen of church architecture. The Wrexham Telegraph' says, of course, we had "Lord Bi..¡h0P9," ani Very H.everend8," and Canons," and "Doctors," and" Vicars General," in plenty-all fat ponderous, punchy fellows, 1-10 stone avoirdupoise every ounce, with cheeks like cardinals, and shoes like flat bottomed ferry boats. They opened the new Chspel,-C¡¡urch they will call it, and the Bishop of Liverpool," and the Bishop of the Diocese," in cope, mitre, crosior, &c,, figured conspicuously. The Bishop of Liverpool," in the absence of the" Bishop of Nottingham," preached. At the dinner the 4 lord bishops" came out with great effulgence ft and my- lorded" one another with great liberality. The simple laymen, especially persuaded themselves that they had got hold of a real live lord for once, and made much of the occasion, and proved themselves good courtiers. The funniest part of all is that they seem to believe it. —The players are so absorbed in the play, that they imagine it all reality, and not a rnoril earthquake, even, coull disabuse them of the illusion. Well, whilst the mummery does us no harm, they are welcome to play it; it is amusing at any rate it flatters the actors, and affords merriment to the spectators. That it shall not reach a point to do us much harm, we think the Welsh peopfewill take care otherwise, we are not so sure but that the old will to fetter is even now as vigor- ous as ever it was., For instance, at the dinner follow- ing the opening of the chapel, the old Koroish spirit peeped out, apd the health of the Pope was drunk be fore the Qqeen's, on the shallow pretence that the in- terests of the soul shollld have precedence of those of the,bot.ty and in the allusions made to the Church in Wales, it was, arrogantly assumed that no Church but the Honrio Catholic one had ever flourished in Wales: whereas it is notoriously the fact that the Welsh Church most pertinaciously resisted .11 the altempts of St. Augustine and his successors, to Romanise it. THE BLACK BALL FLEET OF AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.— By the arrival of the Australian mail, we have news that will bring joy and gladness to the hearts of hun- dreds of families whose friends have sailed for the Ail.- tipodes in the ships of this line. We have reports of no fewer than nine of the Black Ball" clippers at the colony. These are the Marco Polo, Capt. Clarke Ellen Stewart, Captain Brown Commodore Perry, Capt. Webb; and the Euroclydon, all at Melbourne,; the Monica, Vocalis^ and Brazil, at Sydney the Sir W. F. Williams, at Hobart Town and the Mary Pleasants, at Moreton Bay. The fLet is spoken of in highly com- plimentary terms by the colonial newspapers, and we cannot forbear giving an extract relating to an old fa- vourite-the Marco Polo. The Melborne Age' says; I —This favourite I Black Ball' liner still keeps up her reputation as one of the most regular traders we have to this port. On the present voyage the passage was made from the Cape to this port in 22 days. The pas- sengers, 436 in number, have enjoyed excellent health, and all express themselves highly delighted with the passage, and as always is the case with those who have the pleasurp. of sailing with Capt. Clarke, speak in the highest terms of his unremitting attention towards them.' The excellent qualify and seaworthiness to the ships of this line are to be judged from the manner in which they brave the storm. The I Age says, "The Ellen Stuart left Liverpool on the 14th of June, and crossed the Equator on the twenty-seventh (lay out, afterwards experienced light airs until the ISth and 19th of Aug. in lat. 45 deg S. and long. 63 deg E., when she ex- perienced a very severe gale from the westward, and neavy sea, which filled starboard life-boat, and tore it and all its gear away, and in about half-an-hour was pooped by a tremendous sea, which stove in four of the six stern ports; the force was so great that a ventilator in the middle of the saloon wa* broken on both sides, and the side cabins were likewise filled with water; the ship was then hove to, and the gale lasted fully fifty hours longer." We may opserve that the next ship to be sent out, by Mess". James Baines and Co., to Melbourne, is the 11 Caribou," than which there is not a finer ship in port. She has b<?en very extensively visited during the past week, and the berths on board a ship so capacious, well ventilated, and splendidly fitted could not, of course, fail to command a sale. The Caribou is fast filling up both with cargo and passengers and will no doubt, make a very rapid passage, DIPLOMACY AND GASTRONOMY.—And who can say' after all, that the late destructive war was not partly, or even entirely, caused by a dinner! Did not the French revolution of '48 emanate from a banquet 1 and upon this occasion, 18;)4, six years after, a most unaccountable gastronomic event occured.Lord Stratford de Hedcliffe, on his return to Constantinople as pleni- potentiary, had for the first time his Excellency Prince Mensthikoff to a grand diplomatic dinner, where all the representatives of the then united Courts were to assem- ble. The day was ifxed for the 21 jt the invitations were cordially accepted, most especially by the representative of the Czar, he beillg, no doubt anxious to read upon the brow of the diplomatist the political feeling of his nation. That very day, towards noon, the Sultan's mother died. In the morning she had witten a letter to his Excellency expressive of her full confidence that he would study the future wellfare of her Son in his relations with the British Government. On account of this mournful event, and with a most profound feeling of respect and veneration fur the Im- perial mourner, the dinner was pospone for a week. and while the dark veil was laid over the binquetirig- table and the black seal was st upon the baVxrie de cuisine, and numerous bouchas d few de V Amhassade Bntawnque, his Excellency Prince Menchikoff was on board a Hussian man-of-war anchored at the mouth of i the Black Sea, wating with all the dignity and defiance Imaginable for the determination of peace or war.— The diplomatic banquet never took place the war did. j Culinary Campaign.

"WHAT NEXT?" I To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,—I read in the Carnarvon Heraiu tasi wet uuv one, a most startling proposal, which I should taken as ironical, but I find that it is repeated in that paper, in another shape, this last week. Can you tellme, "is it in jest or in earnest t" Had such a suggestion been made in vour columns, the whole country would have been in a ferment but true it is, that 11 one fpan may steal a horse while apother must not lo(,k over,the hedge." The proposal, and warmly recommended too, is, that the whole of the Cymry, finding their inheri- tance rapidly falling into the handj of the Suxqn,* should, after erecting the intended monument to .the memory of Prince Llewelyn, and all other past, pre- sent, and future Welsh heroes"-absquatulate, with their bards, preachers, farmers, working-people, lan- guage, customs," &c., or, in other words, emigrate to some earthly paradise in South Anietica-ttie Banda Oriental-where people are constantly cutting each other's throats, and where their bards may become ministers of state, and the peasantry landholders, t The exodus is too ridiculous to be seriously contem- plated. None but an enemy could have done this I grant that it would be advisable for many of the bards to mizzle, especially those who act upon a triad not known as having been promulgated by the ancients Never pay your just debts, never be found sober, and never be idle in getting into debt," -but A botit peasantry, their comurv's priile, WheJ! once destroyed can never be supplied."

HOLYHEAD. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. SIR,—Many of your readers, who have a pretty good knowledge of the state of things at Holyhead, have lately been considerably amused by the appearance of two letters in your paper, one signed Beta," and the other Alpha; and though b.ith do not worship and pay obeisance to the same great local benefactor, each in his style has elearly shewn whom he considers to be the Cæsar" of Holyhead, and has accordingly ren- dered a good many honours to him. With your permission, I send a short notice of the inaccuracies, exaggerations, and omissions pointed out to me in both letters. Holyhead Fit present cann it truly be called a ra. pidly increasing and rapidly improving; town "-it is decidedly retiogressive. The working population is less, wages paid not so much, and number of children in each family greater than before. Therefore so much more poverty. There are numbers of uninhabited houses, but houses here are all of the small, poorly built kind. Those who speculated by h<iusc-building, when Holyhead made such increase in population, now find how badly paying is such kind of investment.— ,-The intellectual and literary affairs of the town are invisible. There was once a Mechanics' Institution but from want of public support, and after a lingering existence, at la«t it died. Its rooms are now turned into solicitors' offices. "The gas lighting" of Holy- head-notwithstanding the sensible and stinging re- marks of Punch,' aimed at those who distinguished themselves in thp. rmisq of darkne-;s. and which remarks to them, I fear, were incomprehensible, and therefore useleiS-will never take place, unless a more powerful and very different class of inhabitants come to reside here. I honour" Beta" for his mention of the" gas lighting." But to whom he gracefully alludes —as the vigorous and praiseworthy characters that are now its grace and life, continning to live within its premises," &c.1 have been thinking over for it fortnight, and am unable to discover; neither can any of my friends. The" character" is a myth. I sincerely wish I could take the same sunshiny view of the future of Holyhead as does "Deta," There will be many" ups and downs" in life, and changes in the ministry, before Holyhead becomes the largest town in North Wales. The Leviathan has yet to be launched. Many old inhabitants doubt whether the New Har- bour will do the good to the town which is so ofteu talked about -11 the improvements and changes to be effected by it, may loom in the distance, but the loom- ing is hardly perceptible-master mariners of all countries, who have put into it for shelter and safety, all say Your New Harbour is spoiled in the construc- tion of it; it has a bad entrance, when the wind is blowing Strong from a particular quarter, and the area inside is considerably lessened by the awkward elbow in the north breakwater." This is too true, and the Admiralty get the blame; perhaps, they deserve it. At all events, it cannot be the fault of the contractors. The changes that have taken place in Holyhead of late years, in consequence of the New Harbour, must have chiefly benefitted the owners of the soil and, ac- cording to "Alpha," the contractors of the Works. It is, therefore, a duty incumbent on them, to give largely to the poor of the town, and it must be also an unspeak- able blessing to them to give. the workmen employed at the quarries and New Harbour are remarkably well-conducted; and, I be- lieve, it is true, that the number of cases on the Beau- maris list at the assizes, has been scarcely greater since the Harbour Works commenced, than before. The moral progress of the town has not been on an increa<- ing ratio to its rapidly increasing population though, considering it is a sea-port town, the general morality is very surprising. The causes may be attributed to the large proportion of Welsh in the population, the effects of their Sunday-school system of teaching, especially amongst Dissenters; and their natural inclination to at- tend places of worship. Beta" states, that pauperism is infrequent; filthy diseases do not prevail; drunkenness, lawlessness and crime, are scarcely to be noticed here, when compared with other places of equal population," be goes on to give the credit of these exceptional and enviable circumstances to the wise and able management and constant solicitude and care of the Messrs. Iligby and their co-operators. I cannot agree altogether with him in his views for it is well known to the ratepayers of the parish, that cases of pauperism are exceedingly heavy on the parishioners, must unjustly so and being mainly caused by the Harbour Works, it would be but right that Government assistance should be given to lighten the weight of the burden. How far filthy di?,?,,? prevail I do not know bu one reason for their supposed 'rit, must be the n?ur. he-dthinp s nf healthiness of the !?" its ?"?"o"re than any- thhiinng J T' n Drunkeness ? on tbe increase. Crime, except o'?f ;t. he minor kind, I believe, is infrequent. Mr Kigby is a man of wonderful ability, and he has an able representative in Mr. lleitheimer. The works are on a gigantic scale, and it would have be -n impossible to have had more eminent contractors to construct them. But Beta is wrong in saying "the manner ot tipping the loaded waggons is a most valuable in vention of theirs." It was stated by Mr. Clias. Rigby in his speech on the occasion when a dinner was given by the Messrs. Rigby to the county and borough mem- bers, in the New Market lIull, that the invention was due to Nlr. Dobson, the Bovernment resident engineer of the New Harbour Works. "Beta" has committed another error in stating that "those of the labourers who are unable to work from disease or accident are supphedtw.? a week, or oftener, with meat, wine' and necessaries. 1 his, I am told, may be done twice or tbiee times, and oftener in exceptional cases, but not weekly and it is not to be expected that the Messrs. ltigby would do it. 1\J rs. !• hai name fbeing of being a kind lady, and doing many generous de eTs With the hoaor to be? t The great fault of Beta's" letter is that it Is „„ grand exaggeration" of truth and error, and has the! eeffffeecct t tto do more iharm than good. Ain?ha' ?)?.?a! more to P°'"Sa!ld deseryes perusal. His examina- t?oT of" Bet8 etter is excellent; as he justly ob- serves, the n'T1" °f'ife are nearly doubled since the Harbour Works commenced," and surely this is not advantageous to the inhabitants of Holyhead 1 Tbe CheBter and Hotyh.?d Railway has done more real .? vice to the town than the ew Harbour will do for years to come. The Market Hall, built by the Hon. W. O. I' Stanley, is an useful ornatpent to Holyhead, It is also believed to be a good speculation, and pays the builder well for his outlay. The inhabitants, at the time time, are, and ought to be much obliged to him for erecting it. f There are many charities of others in Holyhead, in addition to those of Mrs. Stanley and Mrs. Rigby, which have not been noticed by either Beta or "Alpha." I am sure the removal from this town of the HeY. Charles Williams, the late much respected In- cumbent, and Captain Skinner, R.N., and his amiable lady,—will be much felt by the poor. 1 he soup kitchen was of the greatest service, and the eubsc.ibers to it were warmly and heartily thanked by the recipients of nutritious food, provided for them the last two winters. I am, sir, yours truly, DELTA. Holyhead, Nor. 26, 1857.

THE BALLor WANTED AT BEAUMARIS. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. SIR,- I remember reading, several months ago, a very elaborate-I may say—a laboured article in the 'Carnarvon Herald,' strongly urging the necessity for the adoption of the ballot g(?ne--Ily but !u?,?7 introducing the remark, that fortunately it was not re- quired in Anglesey, where the tenantry were left to vote as they pleased without any interference front the principal landholder or his agent. Will the worthy Editor and Proprietor of that paper, when again touch- ing upon this topic, make an exception of Beaumaris as a Borough town (not the county town) in the county which they consider so h:gh)yfatoured< Hecent lc"entthere enforce the conviction (hat the ballot (if good for anything) is as much wanted in Beaumaris as in any part of Wales and the chief town in Angle- sey-a liberal town too- being thus infected, there is no knowing how the evil example may spread. I am of opinion that if the Piess will do its duty, and the people will only be true to themselves, whatever diffi- culties hve arisen, even in Beaumaris, may be ?l,?,dily cured, wIthout the baUo\. But if the Press is laggard, the people cowardly, aud there is to be no ballot, it is plain there can be no hope f", lleauniarisian indepen- (knce, and" what can't be cured, rr.ust be endured." Tis true 'tis pity, pity 'tis 'tis true." Yours respectfully, N. 25, 1857. A VOTER. Beaumaris, Nov. 25, 1857. A VOUR.

BEAUMARIS ELECTION. To the. Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sill,—" One story stands good until another is told." This, I imagine will apnlv to certain tales :hat have lately been current in Beaumaris. If the proceedings were lair and above-board at the election for Mayor, they wohld seem to be unquestionable but if they were the result of petty intrigue, personal spite, and dirty duplicity, they are deserving of all censure, and though not, perhaps, sufficient, to justify retaliation, ought commonly to be condemned. It is rumoured hut I vouch not for facts-that no such thing as the election of a tradesman was contempllled-at least no notice was given that there would be a second candidate pro- posed-a few hours before the annual meeting of the Corporation but it was expected that things would go on in their usual hum-drum style. That Mr. Dew's proposer, a short time previously, had some personal difference with the gentleman whose pleasure has for many years been paramount at elections, and seized upon this opportunity to obtain a temporary triumph and satisfaction. That the notes which have been addressed to some members of the trading class in Beaum iris since that event were intended rather as a punishment for deception than for having ho- nourably exercised their undoubted right of franchise. And that the senders of those missives are really not so much to blame as their opponents seem desirous of re- presenting. I knoiv not the truth, but think, if what tells in favour ot one side is to be circulated, so ought any circumstance that tends to the exculpation of the other side. 1 am, sir, yours' See., Beaumaris, Nov. 26, 1857. FAIR PLAY. a-

THE CORPORATION OF BEAUMARIS. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. SIR,—Mr. Dew, having been elected Mayor of Beaumaris, on U:e Lord Mayor's (lay-in your im- pression of the week following, youjmetely mentioned tlwflct. It struck me at the time, you might have gone further, aud congratulated tue public and the independent E actors of Bejumaris, on their having at last adopted if Municipal Reform," which they were entitled to, and might hare enjoyed for so many years; you however were silent on the mbject, and so should 1 have been, bad I not been utterly disgusted by events, which have occurred since. I blush for my countrymen to think they should have carried revenge so far as they have done! I understand a letter has appeared (under what signature I know not, for I never see the paper,) in your Carnarvon contemporary, abusing Mr. Dew, and calling him ungrateful, and in short anything but a faithful dog I praising some of the Mayors who have preceded him and giving them characters which their acts have not merited. Reports very unfavourable to the freedom of the Borough from individual dictation are in circulation. I hope the poor Mayor hus not found himself in a mare's nest," and that he has got over the slight offence to his sacred person on the Sund-j)-, which saw him march to Church deserted by his Aldermen, who should have supported bim in his office! I shall conclude this letter, Mr. Editor, and I am sure you will join me (at least I hope you are not an advocate for the slave trade) by wisliing success to the tradesmen of Beaumaris; and while we have so many and able men among them, may they look more in future to the Town and Trade." Your's. &c.. Beaumaris. I BIRCK.
