MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—THE…
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—THE STATE OF PARTIES. The new Parliament assembled on Tuesday, and tne event, we are told, did not occasion the least ex- citement or curiosity on the part of the public. Pro- bably this arose from the formal nature of the pro- ceedings which, in the Lords, was confined to the administering of the oaths to such of the Peers as attended for that purpose—Lord Derby being one of them; and, in the Commons, to the election of j Speaker. Three or four weeks hack it was posi- tively stated, that Mr. Walpole would be the new Speaker. However, the Conservatives are not de- sirous of bems the first to throw down the ballot contention, so Mr. J. E, Denison was re-elected.-— The right hon. gentleman was proposed by Wilson Patten, and seconded by Sir 1. Baring; and after his election, he wa< complimented hy Air. 1) Is- raeli and Lord Palmerston. Pity these complimen- tary speeches cannot be avoided, or somewhat modi- fied. Of course, as we do not attend the House of Commons, we know nothing, persnally, of the right bon. gentleman's qualifications to discharge the office of Speaker j but we have repeatedly read complaints of his incompetency; and have heard members say, that he was miserably deficient in those qualities which, in Ir, Shaw Lefevre, so completely com- manded the attention of the House whilst he was far from being familiar with the rules of debate.—In all this he may improve; but unless a very great deal of what has been written and said about him is false, he cannot at preseut desene the praise be- stowed upon him by the two leaders of the House of Commons. The present week, an 1 next .Monday, will ne oe- voterl to the administmtioll of oaths. On Tuesday, the Queen's speech will he deli,ered; but it is now very uncertain, whether an amendment will he moved upon the Address. It was determined, as we Stated last week, that a vote of"no confidence" should hemoved;andthepapersintheintnestof Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Russell were sanguine as to its success. But, though the leaders had coalesced, and settled -we learn from the Morning Post' that the rank and file rebelled and very severe is that journal upon the members who dare to think for themsehes, and who will not be placed in the leading strings of the opposition whippers-in." It was stated by the olposil ion paper, that Sir John Ramsden was to second the motion of a want of con- fidence in the Government. But that gentleman, at a dinner given to him and Mr. Frank Crossley, as members for the West-Hiding, on Monday last, at Leeds, s:id, this announcement was made entirely N o -"C h pro'')osa l be without his concurrence. such proposal, he laid, has been made to me. If it were to be made, I should feel it my duty to decline it, and for this reason. I consider that that member of the House of Commons, who takes upon himself to propose to Parliament to dismiss a Ministry, in order to justify such a course, should be able to assure the House of Commons, that he sees his way clear to the forma- tion of a more lasting and stronger Government. Now I assure you, I say it with-the deepest regret, that, in the present divided state of our leadership, I do not see my way to any such result." This state- ment is somewhat contradictor), to the assertion in the Morning Post,' the Observer,' and other Whig journals, of the perfect reconciliation of the two Whig leaders,—an assertion which appears to be Confirmed by the conduct of Lord John Hussell who, on Tuesday, after the election of Speaker, left his seat, and went up to Lord Palmerston. with whom he shook hands. But the united supporters of the two noble lords do not exceed 260,-aiid there are more than 300 Conservatives, who, if they differ on some points, will all vote for retaining the Earl of Derby in power. Of the other 80 or 90 mem- bers—several of them will certainly, like Mr. Hoe- buck, vote for Lord Derby atid the chances of vic- tory are so reduced, that it is very probable, after all that has been said, the Opposition will suffer the Ad- dress to pass, and the husin, 5S of the session to pro- ceed, but keeping a watchful eye upon the proceed- ings, eager to detect, and to make the most of, any mistake that may occur. We hope the Ministers will not make any; and from what has transpired gince we last wrote, we have now sanguine hopes, that they will not only retain their seats at the open- ing, but will be found to hold them at the close of the session.
THE W A R.
THE W A R. There has, s yet, been no reat engagement be- tween the the two hostile armies now contending for iupremacy in Italy; but there have been several minor affjirs, which will have no material effect on either side. The Aus t r, aiis twice repulsed the French and Piedmontese in their attempts to cross the Sesia, the first of which was made to the north of Vercelli; a town about 35 or 40 miles to the north of Alexandria,-and the second at Candia, about 14 miles to the south-east of Vercelli. A third and successful attempt was made on Sunday, at 1 alestro, which lies 5 or 6 miles to the east of Vercelli. The Austrians were entrenched at l'alestro, Casalino, and Vinza-lino,-villages in the vicinity and the 1 led- montese claim the victory. Their bulletins state that they drove the enemy from those places, taking many prisoners, and two pieces of cannon. The Emperor of the French had visited Vercelli, which was illuminated in his honour; and a bulletin of the 30th says that he was about to move his head-quar- ters from Allessandria. All the fighting between the French and PierI- montese and the Austrians has been on the Pied- montese territory. A fortnight ago, Garibaldi,- whose name obtained considerable eminence in the movements of 1848-9, —with a band of Guerillas, es- timated at 5,000 or 6,000 men, entered Lombardy on the north-west. He defeated the Austrians at Varese, and advanced to Como, rather a large town situated on the western arm of the lake of that name, being a bishop's see, with a population of 20,000. It is only 8 or 9 leagues from Milan, and Garibaldi's object was supposed to be to make a dash upon that territory. However, the bulletins say that he was defeated on Sunday, and obliged to cross into Switzerland, where, of course, he would be disarmed, and his career would be, for the pre- sent, at an end. Encouraged hy the incursions of Garibaldi, the mountaineers of altelhna—an Aus- trian province, on the north of Lc)nil)ard),, i-utitiit)g between that country and Switzerland, are said to have broken out in insurrection, which, however, they have no means of sustaining, it they are un- àided. Much has been said, this week, about a proclama- tion, issued, we are told, on the 24th of May, by the Austrian General Zonel, from Mortara. In this pro- clamation, every commune, and every individual, in Lombard)-, are commanded, if any scouts, agents, &c., of the enemy appear, immediately to inform the Aus- trian commandant, or the chief of the nearest military depot. This proclamation sets forth, that, "Every commune within which any detachment, or any single sol.Uer belonging to the Austria., anny, may find any patrol or agent of Ih. etietn)-, will sufter, with- out remission, the severest penallies provided by martu law. In every such case the commune will be sentenced to pay a war contribution, under no less a penalty than being delivered up to pillage towns comprom,8,d will be burnt, and individuals will be shot, without mui.). A proclamation, somewhat similar, but not so mer- cilessly severe, attributed to General Gynlai turns X?e a forgery. We earnestly hope that this do- ?nt is S fictitious. If.'t'sauthe-?c. the at- tempt to give such an atrocious character to tne wa. Will deprive the Austrians of all sympathy and every one must wish for the overthrow of a power w hich can sanction such barbarities. duced to believe that this document is spurious, be- cause it is now ascertained, that the tales of Austnan strocitio, so profusely circulated, after they fil-st crossed the I'icinio and the Po, are mere inventions. We are very glad they are. War, in its best shape il terrible but if accompallied with the horrid ntrO- cities ascribed to the Austrians,—it would indeed be a curse and a desolation on the earth.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr. Hall, a gentleman residing at lilandudiui, on Wednesday morning died suddenly, whilst working in his garden. He had complained of illness so^e days. Dr. Nicol was called in, and did all that human skill could devise, but no restoration could be effected. PORT WINrss--We have noticed, with pleasure, the [ arrival of some choice Port Wines, at the Bonded Stores, Carnarvon, bvthe'- Cintra," direct from Opo?to. )m- ported by our friends, M".srs, Evands and Howlaud., ?ported by our friend! Mt'Mr6.Etand<MdHowl"ud9, CARNARVON.—The yield of copper at the Dr?Meo. mine coctinufsh?e. and another cargo has been ship- ped from their yard on the Quay, on luesday last. HOLYIIEAD.-Otl Sunday and Monday last, we had rather heavy thuiuler-Bhowers here, Ihe quantity of rain that has fallen, will do an immense deal of good to vegetation. Hain was much wanted. The late easterly gale, has completely blighted many fruit trees in this neighbourhood. HOLYHEAD.—Those belonging to the Church of j England residing at this town, will be sorry to hear of the resignation of the Rev. Ir. Griffith, one of our rutich-respecte-d and hard-working curates, on account of ill-health. H" has labored in thi, parish for everal years with great effect, and gained the good-will and esteem of most of the inhabitants. Mr Jones, curate to the rectors of Rhosculyn and Llanflchraeth, is, we learn, appointed successor to Nlr. Griffith. CARNARVON.—THE SEASON.—During the past week or ten days, we have had a smill sprinkling of vi-ftors, Borne of them staying in the town, but the majority hate passed through, either for Llanbei is, or on to Merion- ethshire. The very seasonable showers of rain have made the country most delightful; Ihe rivers, however, are so very short of water, that until a more plentiful supply fills, the in the- vill be greatly inter- fered with the herons, however, are evidently getting a plentiful harvest in them. SCI PORTMADOC.—On Tuesday last, a fine modelled schonner, of 200 tons burihen, was launched from the building yard of Capt. I). Richards. She was named the I Patriot,' and is intended for the coasting und fo. reign trade. She i. to be commanded by Captain D. Richards, jun., late of the schuuner Isabella.' Also, on Wednesday last, another fine modelled schooner was launched from the building yard of Mr. Morgan Jones. She is ubout 1R0 tuns bur\hel1, and is intended for the coasting and foreign trade. MEDICAL GUIDE TO LLANDUDNO.—This place, reputed to be one of the healthiest on H e coast. has drawn to practice there no less a number than three physicians, if not Dr. Dr. C.I,y, and Dr. Wil- liams.— Ooe of these, Dr. Coley, has issued a small pamphlet, in which the fre dom uf this place from ge- neral disease, and its suitability as a place of cure for particular cases described, are largely discussed and ensr- getically urged. We, however, think the Doctor insisis too strongly upon the superiority of the mountain water-wliich is surface rather than spring waler-over that of the wells of the town, which have been greatly purified by the drainage effected at a large expense by the Commissioners. SEA BATHING AT BANGOR.—We have vieited the newly- constructed baths, and though they are not yet quite completed, have been lost in admiration of the beauty and excellence of the site, and the of the ar- rangements over any we have elsewhere seen. Open- air sea bltiiing, shower baths, warm baths, and all other conveniences will be profiied, as well as opportunity for refreshments; and the walks in the umbrageous graves, piotecting bathers from the sight of the public road, are numerous and most exchanting. Seats will be placed in these, which we have no doubt will be frequented by students of both sexes and altogether the preparation. are not only extensive but extraordinary, and will place Bangor at least on a level with any other place for bath- ing accommodation in the neighbourhood. LLANDUDNO.—We hear that it is contemplated to plant trees on each side of the spacious thoroughfares in the town, so as to rival those of Cheltenham and other olaces of fashionable resort. This, we have no doubt, will prove an additional attraction to strangers visiting the neighbourhood. We wish we could prevail upon the owneis of property in Bangor, along the three roads to Gaith, to adopt a similar resolution. Nothing could render our town more beauiifu1, and as a speculation it would necessarily be successful. That and the erection of a founlain or two, and the provision of walks on the mountain, would enable Bangor to eclipse all other places in attraction for strangers, and the erection of a few villas on the heights in the vicinity, would bring ivpri It h to reside here continuously, which would be of great benefit to the neighbourhood, and profusely remu- nerate the .peculators. We have applications for from 6? to 81) Villa Residences every summer, and people acquiring a knowledge of the purity of the atmos- phere, and the excellence of the water, irrespective of our aucient and modern, architectural and scientific wonders, and our beautiful scenery, would be sure to reside here during the winter, to the great good of our tradesmen and the relief of the public burdens. FATAL ACCIDENT AT LLANDUDNO.—The dangerous practice of taking wild birds' eggs at the Llandudno rocks has again proved fatal. On Sunday morning last, William Oner., of Pen-y-ffridd, without the aid of ropes, as is usual (see Gwalchmai's Llandudno Hand- Book," published by Mr. Thomas Williams, druggist, Church -walks), descended the declivity on the north side of Great Orme's Head, from above, in Bearch of razor-bill and guillimots' nests, in order to take the eggs, and fell fiom a height of about eighteen yards. It appeared lh&t he had taken hold of some wild cab- bage, which grows on the slope at the spot, to secure himself, but that these weeds gave way with the grasp (some portion of them was found in the hand). The body was discovered about ten o'clock on the evening of the same day, by Hugh Powell. This is another Harnin" to the inhabitants and others of the caution re- quired 'in this hazardous experiment. In the summer ?.ason?t h ?reisagreat demand for t h ese eggs, which are sold at from three to .¡x-pence each and are re- girded by visitors from different countries as rare curl- osities. CONCERT FOR TIlE BENEFIT OF THE FAMILY OF TUB LATE MR. OWEN WILLIAM3.-The National Sdwoi- room last Tuesday evening, on the occasion of Miss E. L. Williams' (the Welsh Nightingale) concert for the benefit of ihe widow and family of the late Mr. Owen Williams, was crowded to excess, and a handsome sum was realized-all expenses being defrayed by other par- lies Miss Williams exerted herself veiy greatly, and the singing of some of her songs and her accompaniment on tho piano-f"rte were very much admired-especially the Bells of Aberdovey." In others, a portion of the auditory was rather unruly, and she had repeatedlyto call them to order. Some members of the Bangor Choir were advertised to appear, and were rellearsed and in waiting, but Miss Williams declined their assistance, though it would very greatly have relieved her own exer- tions and pleased the auditory. Mr. Mortis also volun- teered his services with the hatp, but the heat of the room was so great the instrument could not be kept in tune, and he performed only once-though with great effect and approbation. The sum of JE24 2s. 3d. was netted for the object in view. A meeting of the promoters of this fund was held at the Chapter Room,.on lhursilay evening, when several gentlemen handed in their sub- scription books, and again received them in expectation of obtaining new subscriptions. The amount paid in, including the above, was upwards of £8fi, which was ordered to be temporarily placed in the National Pro- vincial Bank, in the name of the Dean, as trustee for this fund. It was specially stated that no debts were to be paid from this fund; but two or three gentlemen, at the request of the committee, undertook to investigate the affairs of the deceased, and endeavour to effect a set- tlement of them for the benefit of the widow. It was also mentioned that other books were still to be brought ill; that steps were taking to increase the amount raiied; that the names of all suoscribera above five shillings would be advertised; and tho meeting adjourned for a fo, might. IIOLYHEAD UNION.—The fortnightly meeting of this Board of Guardians took place on Tuesday, the 31st ull. in their room at the Valley Hotel Richard Jones, Esq. ill the chair. Twenty-five Guardians attended. Amount of balance in the Treasurer's hands, £ 657 Gs. 3d. A letter from the poor Law Board, forwarding for the consideration of the Guardians, an extract from a letter addressed to the Board by the Overtieers of Llatidrygarn; on the isubject of making new averages for this Union, hawng been r?ft and considered. It was resolved,- "That the Board is of opinion that the frequent de- claring of a new average on the basis laid down in the Poor Law Amendment Act is unfair, as tending to press unequally upon those parishes, whose pauperism anil out-relief have increased solely from the number of small cottages comprised in them, without reference to any improved value in the rateable property of such pari-hes, whilst it would have the effect of still further relieving landed property in places that have already been materially benefitted by the operation, of the recent statutes tmnsferring the charge of irremoveable paupers to the common fund. The existing basis for declaring new, averages having been made with the view at 8pportlOn¡ng tne saiaues oi omctjra uuu srU'ÇI""I c.itsof the Union establishment only, and for the division of relief to irremovable poor." Cheques granted: —Richard Morris, £ 150; John Prytlierch, f S»0 Robert Parry, £ 80 Police-rate, EGS Is. 6d. Number of oot-door paupeis relieved during the past fortnight, 4,543 number of out-door paupers relieved during the corresponding fortnight of last year, 4,942 amount of relief of past fortnight, L290 Us. Od number of corresponding fortnight of l ist year, £ 333 fis. lid. No other important public business was transacted. TUB CHESTER CORN EXCHANGE.—On Saturday after- noon last Mr. Chivas, who in such spiri'ed style under- took to erect a corn market at his own risk, entertained a party of geittlemen at luncheon in a fine handsome Nom which has been commenced and all but completed in Ih space of two months. The rooin was gaily, dressed with fltgs, and the provision excollent. A most re Ispectable company assembled,

BALA JURY. To the Editor of the North I Vales Chronicle. II .t..& T\ T.1.a..Afilnr Sir,—Having been latelj toiu llHl w L ,M B?, has lately made it known, through the c.tumns of the Herald Cy.m.eg/h.the ?tho ''?? m from Bala" who l?tely informed Mr. Sl,1"bur}' ex M.P. for Chester, respecting the "Iigi." f the rious Bala Jury, will you allow me, through the medium of your Journal, to call upon the learned Doctor to i)ro,e this assertion, viz., that only thiee out of the twelve were Dissenters, and that all the rest were Churchmeu." For the sake of Churchmen and Dissenters, truth and his own reputation, 1 hope and trust that he will let the public knolv what are his premises for soch a conclu- sion. I am, Sir, yours &c., CARWK tYWIRDEB.
LLANDUDNO.
LLANDUDNO. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,-The commencement of another season at this beau- and increasing town has induced me to make a few observations respecting"the vast additional improvements which have taken place since the beginning of last sea- son, of which I name same of the principal,-firsl, the opening of the railway direct to the town, and its con- venient littfe station also-, a magnificent and substantial new landing stage has been-erected, which is of great accommodation to those that travel by water to this (ie- liilhtful spot; wide streets are made,, and in good condi- (ion and to crown this Queen of watering places, the foot-path, six feet wide, previously estending so far as St Tuduo's Church, on the hill, has been continued right round the Great Orme's Head, considered about six miles in length, which will aff .rd the greatest pleasure and recreation to those that travel here. The admirers of the works of nature, as well as invalids and convales- cents, will find no locality more charming, by the ex- tensive sea view and mountain scenery here, the poli- tician, the student, the merchant and the lawyer, like the Roman orators, alter their arduous exertions in the Forum, can find repo, and repair the 1088 of health, occasioned by mental or physical exhaustion; and the naturalist, the botanist, and the antiquarian, can pursue their favourite studies, free from the corroding cares and distractions of civil and officiil life. Yours, A' HESIMHT.
BRIGHTER DAYS FOR THE CHURCH…
BRIGHTER DAYS FOR THE CHURCH IN THE DIOCESE OF BANGOR. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,-T,hough I could haye wished our Bishop had been a right good Welshman, bred and born., yet I am glad to find he not only understands Welsh tho- roughly, but is one of the right sort—a downright hard worker, and a pains-taking zealous divine. From the high eulogiums of him in the Aferthyr and Tydfil Gu&rdian,' the worthy Bishop seem& just the man we have long wanted, and will, I hope, soon put matters to rights amongst us, as h» seems to have so ably done iff his late laborious sphere. He wilt not have to go far outside his Palace gales to seek for work, for both Bangor and Carnarvon are miserably ff, in re- spect to Church accommodation After years and years of empty talkf I hope, ere long, to find two new Churches, built in each of the cities named, one for the Welsh, and another for the English residents. The Cathedral Services, it. is to be hoped, will, for the future, also be in Weltitv, now we have a Welsh-speaking Bishop, and I hope they may serve as patterns for imitation throughout the diocese, aa it was intended they should. Yours truly, A CHURCIIMAV, [IVe differ with ourCorrespondent in reference to his de- sirs that the Cathedral Worship Bhallbein Welsh, un- less indeed it is substituted for the Parochial Welsh Ser- vice now used in the Nave, All the Clergy understand English, and it is for them exclusively the Cathedral is intended, though the Laity, and especially Visitors, are very glad to participate, and attend in great num- bers in the Summer Season. White attending Do the roquirements of the Welsh, we must not forget the wants of the English but this proposed recurrence to ancient practice would be going too far in the direction.J-ED. N. W.C.
THE NEW BISHOP OF BANGOR.
THE NEW BISHOP OF BANGOR. To the Editor of the North Waiev Chronicle. Sir,—There seems to be a spirit in certain quartern to turn everything into an occasion of ahuee and vitnpew- tion. It is, I think, to be regretted, that this- spirit should be manifested as regards the appointment to the See of Bangor. It may be true that Archdeacon Gamp- bell does not speak Wehh like a native, but there can be no reasonable doubt that he knows enough Welsh for all practical purposes. A patriotic Welshman might feel annoyed with Lord Derby for not selecting a 11 real na- tive," but that. is no reason why any one should feel hostility towards.the gentleman who has been appointed. All unite in believing that he is fully qualified-for the important post lie is to occupy. Instead then of oavilling, it would be weU if all who really have the welfare of the Church at heart, were to throw their. influence <>1\ his side, and support all his measures for the moral and spiritual improvement of his large and important charge. Bishops are but mortal,And, partake of all the impelfections of humanity. It i. no reason, because a Bishop may,lack some fancied perfection, why he may not do a great amount of good, if property supported. No per-on. who wears a mitre bthese days. must expect to lie on a bed of roses, and particularly so, if determin- ed to redress abuses and exercise a vigorous administra- tion. It cannot be concealed for a moment that many reforms are needed in the Diocese of Bangor, neither can it be doubted that a great amount of passive if not active resistance will have to be overcome by an energe- tic Bishop. The more need then that all who love the Church of their fathers-wbo wish to see life and vigour infused into every parish -who wish to see Dissent di- minisbing, and the Church increasing—who wish to see piety, and true religion flourish and abound, should rally round the new Bishop, and do whatever may be in their power to support his efforts for gcod in the trying posi- tion in which Providence is placing him as the Bishop.of Bangor. Hoping he may prove what all true friends of the Church expect, and be the means of reviving the smoul- dering life of the Church in many a parish. I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, A CHURCHMAN.
IHOW TO MAKE AN AQU ARtUM.
HOW TO MAKE AN AQU ARtUM. (From the 'Ladies' Treasury:) A glass tank should be made thoroughly, water-tight; and as soon as this is accomplished, it is ready to re- ceive its future residents. Ornamentalltits of rock must be built up inside, partly for effect, and partly for use, as they serve for the growth of sea-weed, and hiding places for the living creatures which are to be intro- duced- The marine plants must next be arranged, and then the tank filled with sea-water. All this is pre- paratory to the living creatures taking possession of their property it is the mere upholstery work of the abode. As soen as the plants begin to grow and flou- rish, the Aquarium may bo completed by the addition of the animals, but not till then. In collecting material for the Aquarium, never tear away the seaweed from the rock, but chip off the por- tion of rock on which it is growing, for the seaweed has no root, and will perish unless this precaution is taken. All coarse specimens, such as the bladder-weed and tan le,shollld be avoided,and exertions made to secure such as the Carrigeen moss, the sea-lettuce, the dulse, and other varieties of a curious character. It is not neces- sary, nor is it advisable, to confine our selections to what, is commonly called ee-i-eed there are so many interesting diversities of algee, or seaweeds, that we cannot do better than obtain as many of them as pos- sible for our aquarium. The brittle-worts, affording protection and food to myriads of microscopic animals, are worthy of our attention. Other species, green in colour, and various in form, produce a good effect, and are exceedingly interesting when examined by the mi- croscope. The rose-tangles are of great importance, including the varieties we have named already, the dulse and Carrigeen moss. Amongst the sea-weed collected on the sea-shcre many marine animals will be discovered. But our re- search must be further extended before our Aquarium can be properly stocked. We must search out ane- mones, sea shails, shrimps, perriwinkles, and perhaps a soldier crab, dropping these into sea water as soon as they are caught, and conveying them to their future home as quickly as possible. It should be remembered, with regard to the Aqua- rium, that in a well-arranged tank there is no necessity rium, that in a we for the admission of freh 1\\1'. nor for 4 change ot water.
I THUNDER STORMS. I
THUNDER STORMS. I IlANGon. During the last week, we nave naa some very rOIf.OU- ing shower- of rain, which have made all nature look gay and beautiful. On Monday and Tuesday night, several claps of thunder were heard, at a distance, and one or two visited the neighbourhood in the day time but we have heard of no accident in the neighbourhood. CIIESTER. On Monday last, at noon, a most violent thunder- storm, accompanied with heavy rain, broke over this city. For an hour previous the atmosphere was re- markably dense, and heavily laden with electricity. At half-past twelve rain fell in torrents, and continued for htilf-Rn-hour; the thunder rolling alarmingly loud and lightnings flashing in rapid succession. The elec- tric fluid passed down the chimney of the residence of Mrj Bage, surgeon, in Watergate-street, knocking down a portion of the brickwork. The fluid passed along the bell wires in the house, loosening them from the walls, but committing no serious damage. A little boy and a female servant of Mr. Roberts, clothier, at the next house, had a very narrow escape, as-ttiey had but a moment before left the spot where the broken chimney fell. The lightning passed also down the chimney at a smsll farm on Sealand. The wife at the time was nursing a chiid by the fire, when the fluid burnt her person severely, and her clothes caught fire. The poor woman was thrown into premature labour, and being very much injured by the electricity, her medical attendant is of opinion that her recovery it doubtful. The lightning also stunned a man and wo- man in Boughton, and made its way down the chim- nies of two houses in Queen'8-pj.rk, but without com- mitting any serious damage. During the storm the Cheshire Yeomanry were at exercise on the Roodee, and the electric fluid, attracted no doubt by the sabres of the cavalry, stunned two or three of the men, but we are glad to say thai no serioos consequences en- sued. At the Two Mitis, near Chester, a bull was killed by the fluid.. During the storm a light bolt struck a large ash tree in a field occupied by Mr. T. Dodd, of Duddon Hall, near Tarvin. The bark was peeled oil o-ie of the top branches, and along the stem of the tree about twenty feet to the ground, tearing the bark on each- side about a foot wide the whole length. Dodd and three of his workmen were passing at the time, on their way home. Fortunately, none of them were Injured. We are fearful that other da- mages have been committed, as W9 never remember a more violent stortn- during the time it lasted. Chester Coufant. LIVERPOOL. During the storm on Monday afternoon last, a sad accident occurred in the iron shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Thotnas Vernon and Son, at the Brunswick Dock,, which was attended with serious if not fatal con- sequences. It appears that a number of boilermakers were taking sheltet- from the rain under the bow of the 'Sea Horse,' when about eleven of them (men and boys) were struck down senseless by a flash ot light- ning. Seven out of the eleven were more or less in- jured about the head by the fall. Nine werj taken to the hospital, but one of them, the most severely in- jured, had to be carried on a bearing barrow. With the exception ot this one, it Is' especieu "UiU i" will be recovered in a day or two. An omnibns took the remainder to the hospital. The I Sea Hor,-e' is a new iron ship, of about IOOlHons burthen, wlueh the Messrs. Vernon are building for the Calcutta trade and the stern post, it is supposed, most have conducted the electric fluid right down upon the men it was, in fact, a lightning conductor for the time; but, instejd of conducting the lightning to the earth, sent it right into the men's heads. RUABONi- I A terrifie thunderstorm ooQugmnmg commeutcu here on Monday night, and again on the following morning aboub 12 o'clock at noon; the roars of thun- der were such that few here have ever experienced the- like before, and by half-past one o'clock a very large stack of wheat belonging to Mr. Roberts, surgeon, was- set on fire by the lightning,—out of which numbers of mice were seen fleeing in all directions. A large oak tree was smashed to atoms in this neighbourhood by the same effect. Seven men were in a. stable at Plas Benion's Works, where also a woman ran for fear of the lightning; diroctly afterwartis a flash of lightning went into the- stable, killed one horse, and another is not likely to survive long, »nd the poor woman who fled to a place of safety, as she thought, was severel5 burnt round her neck, and was struck, it is thought, with something like a paralytic stroke, as all her limbs were quite useless. Medical aid was soon procured, and she is progressing favourably. WHEXHAM. On Mondty-last, the 30th ult., a thundBf-storm broke over this town and neighbourhood. The day was fine, though at intervals the sky appeared somewhat over- cast, indicating the approach of rain. Shortly before one o'clock 2, ohange look place, and- it became evident that a stornl MMS approaching. Several vivid Sashes of lightning broke forth from the south-west, accompanied with peala of thunder. Heavy rain succeeded, which continued seme time. The Lightning at times came in double and treble flashes, and the peals were loud and continuous. The storm appea,ellto be immediately over the tOWIJ. MONTGOMERY, On Monday last, this town and neighbourhood was [ visited with an awful thand,,rstr.. It commenced at three oMoo? in the afternoon, and continued for more than an hour. The peals of thunder were louder than usually heard, and the lightning vivid in the extreme. It was attended with large hajt stones, and excessive rain, caoaing tb«- town to be quite inundated, and doing much damage to the gardens and plantations in the whole leoality. Several bolls fall close to the town, splintering the trees that came in contact near them fortunately we have not heard of any loss of life occur- ring through the whole of the hurricane.
I BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION.…
BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION. The fortnightly meeting of this Board took place on Wednesday last, when the following Guardians at. tended:—Mr. C. Bicknell, Chairman; Rev. E. Lewis, Hev. T. 3. Williams, Messrs. W. J. Rogers, C. Ches. terton, Griffith Davies, G. Simpson, J. Hughes, E. Roberts, Thos. Evans, Hugh Pi-itchard, R. Williams, R; Evans, C. N. Bicknell, Ll. Lowis, E. R. Thomas, 0. Jones, L. Jones, W. Hughes, J. Hughes, and L. Jones; W. B. Hughes, Esq. and the Rev. H. Wynne Jones, ex-officio. The Relieving,officerof Llanllechid parish gave no- tice of the charge ef his residence, which was ap- proved by the Board. An application having been made by a pauper, an inmate of the house, and refused, for new clothes (dif- ferent from other paupers) to appear in Church on Sunday— Mr. Griffith Davies remarked upon the appearance of the school children, and suggested that their dress ought to be modified to the present age. The Chairman thought Mr. Davies, if he had any- thing to say as to the general dress worn by the pau- pers, had better give notice of a motion to that effect. Mr. Davies said he only made a suggestion, seeing the subject brought forward in the application just read. The Chairman reminded the Board that it was ne- cess ny the calls ending 25th September next should forthwith be prepared, and a day of meeting for the Pin nco Committee was appointed for that purpose. The Rev. T. J. Williams addressed the Guardians in Welsh, and contended that the averages upon which the calls were based in the several parishes within this Union were unfair and inconsistent, and referred to two parishes in particular with which he was acquainted. The Chairman said it struck him that Nlr. Williams was diverging from the business of the meeting in then alluding to that subject, and a notice of motion for al. tering the averages ought first to be made, then they would be prepared to discuss the subject. Mr. Bulkeley Hughes said Mr. Williams, having now the calls in prospect, was perfectly justified in making the observations he had just made but if they were to enter fully into the matter, a motion should certainly be made, that it might be regularly brought forward at another meeting. The Chairman agreed that the averages were unfair, and, with a view of remedying that grievance, he had prepared a petition to Parliament, which he read to the Guardians. Rev. E. Lewis thought the average objectionable, but he did not approve of so wide a change as that advo- oaterl in the petition read. He then gave notice that the principle of the above said averages be taken into con- sideration at the next Board. The Guardians then proceeded to the election of a Porter, when the testimonials of 16 candidates were read six were disqualified for non-compliance with the terms of the advertisement, and out ot the ten re- maining four were proposed, viz.. J. Joues, Dwyran E. Jones, Caergroes, Llanllechid W. Owen, Beau- maris; and T. M. Jones, Bethesda the latter of whom was elected by a majority of two over J. Jones, D NY, ran. The Guardians most readily acquiesced in the re- quest made by the late Porter for a testimonial to cha- racter. Out-relief for the past fortnight, E22,1, irremovable poor, CI63 7s. ll £ d.; non-settled poor, £5\ 3s Cheques were signed to the Relieving-officers as fol- ows-.—W. Griffith, f,1442 G. W.

Griffith Roberts, with being drunk and incapable of taking care of him-, self on the 24th ult.—Fined 5, and lis. costs. The application of Elizabeth Jones, for an order in bastardy against Wm. Williams, was refused. The Overseers of Bangor y. Owen Jones, for desert- ing his wife and family, they becoming chargeable upon the parish but upon further inquiry, it turned out that the wife had deserted him, and the case was dismissed. Inspector Jones charged Robt. Jones, and Richard Lloyd, of Bethesda, for leaving their carts, for an un- reasonable time, in the main street of Bangor, on Fri day, the 27th ult., (market day); they were each ordered to pay the costs, but excmpted trom the payment of a fine. Mr. Hardie, Secretary to the Bangor Board of Health, preferred the following charges, under the New Local Government Act: David Jones, Upper Bangor, for obstructing the Highway, by teaving a heap of stones on the road lead- ing from Upper Bangor to Glan'rafon. Owen Hughes, and Wm. Hughes, for carrying of- fensive matter in their carts, on the morning of r riday week last, during prohibited hours of the day. The cases were dismissed with a caution, on payment of costs. John Hughes, and David Lloyd, of Bethesda, were also charged by Mr. Hardie, with neglecting to appro- priate drains on the premises of certain houses belong- ing to them, situate near the Railway Station. The Bench being convinced of an irregularity in the issuing of the notices calling upon the accused to per- form- the work, they were dismissed. Sergeant Owen Jones charged Waltei- Jones, with allowing his cart to remain in the street for an unrea- sonable time he was ordered to pay 7s. Gd. costs. Robert Hughes and Grillith Williams were both charged by Richard George with assaulting him, whilst returning home from Bethesda, on the Kith ult. Dismissed. Robert Hughes, a beerhouse-keeper, of Glasinfryn, was fined 40s., and Its. 6J. costs (this being his third offence), for selling beer at illegal hours, on Sunday week last. \V. Guard, Penrhoagarnedd, was bound cvo. in his own recognizances, and that of another surety, in £ 10 each, to keep- the peace towards his own nother, who appeared in person to substantiae tth- chr.rge, and told a pitiful tale of the miseries she eninred, in conse- quence of her son's unsatiated craving far drink, and his brutal couduct towards her. John Griffith, Richard Thomas, George Davies, and Hugh Hughes, were each fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly,

Morrel, Lsq., atten- ded yesterday at the Garth British School, and con- ducted an examination of Government pupil teachers from Bangor, Carnarvon, Bethesda, Gaerwen, and elsewhere. ACCIDENT. Another aoeident occurred on Thursday last, in the main street of Bangor, to a lad of the name of Richard Hnghes, about five years of age, who was playing at the time along with other children, new the market-place. He got under a cart, and sustained a seiious fracture of the leg, but is now doing well. LLANBBGAI.—This beautiful-little (model) village has had its share of accidents daring the last week. Some children were playing by the slate waggons on the tram- road, near the entrance, when one of them-a little girl -fell and ""veral of the ladenwtggon. passed over her, breaking a leg and doing her other injuries; and a man employed in the forestry department of the Penrhjn- estate, fell from a tree and broke one of his legs. Under the cilre of Mr. Richards, surgeon,, they are both doing well. VAYNOL.-— We understand that the late Mrs. Assheton Smith, prior to her decease, willed the Vaynol estate to Master Duff, a young gcntleman-twehe years of age- the son of a niece of the late I r. Assheton Smith, who was married to n Scotch gentleman of that name; and that she has left the Tedworth estate to Mrs. Sloane Stanley, her own sister. We hear also that she gener. oatly■ bequeathed the sum of RIOOO to the Carnarvon- shire and A-ngtasey Infirmary, and £2000 to the Hev. W. C. Totton, Head-Master of the Bangor Grammar School, who had for some time acted as Chaplain at Vaynol. We believe the deceased lady left a request that Master. Duff, on taking possession, should perman- ently reside at Vaynol, and assume the name of Asshe- ton Smith. J. G. Griffith, of Llanfair Hall, Esq., is one of the Trustees. We may, perhaps, have more to communic»t« in our next. LAUNCH Air BANGOR.— On Thursday morning last, a finely-built brigantine was, launched from the build. ing-yard of Messrs. Roberts and Sons, Hirael, Bangor, (the owners), in the presence of a considerable num- ber ofspEctators, who lined-the shore in anticipation of the interesting, though not altogether now a novel seene, in this, one of the most thriving seiport towns in Wales. The preliminary arrangenents having been completed, the ceremony of naming was properly observed,and she was named Grampus," which was entrusted to Miss Roberts. The vessel then gradually glided down into the watery element, amidst the plau- dits and the hearty good wishes of the assembled mul. titude. The" Grampus" is intended for the foreigrt trade, and juiging from her appearance, and the mate- rials of which she is made, she seems destiaed to prove a profitable sort of investment, and to be in all respects an honour to her native town. Her dimensions are- Length of keel, 80 feet; breadth, 22 j feet; depth of hold, 121 feet, and 208. tons burden.
