MERIONETHSHIRE ELECTION PETITION. The Conservatives in North Wales and elsewhere, will rejoice to learn that this Petition, directed against the return of the Member for the above county, for the hearing of which, the committee of the House of Commons was to have been struck on Tuesday last, has at the last moment been with- drawn. If it had been proceeded with, disclosures of a very damaging character to the so-called "Liberals," would doubtless have been produced in evidence; and our readers are not to attribute the tardy with- drawal of this petition to any latent sense of justice on the part of the Petitioners, but to the certainty that had it been brought before a Committee, it would have been pronounced both" frivolous and vexatious," and therefore all the costs incurred by Mr, Wynne, the sitting Member, would have been thrown upon the two petitioning doctors of Bala. It was therefore withdrawn by Messrs Ri- chards and l'ugh, to avoid this apparently inevitable and costly penalty. This precious Petition, from first to last, was utterly powerless to unseat the Con- I !rvative representative. It relied only on the grounds that the old Town llall at Towyn (in which the poll on this as on every previous occasion was taken) was excluded by the provisions of the 16th and 17th Vic., cap. G8, as being part of an Inn, which everybody knows it is not. The allegations on this subject contained in the Petition, would have been disproved by the clearest evidence. Can it be pos- sible, then, that two medical men of presumed re- spectability, could, with the concurence of other eqeally respectable men of the legal profession, frame a Petition with the intention of putting only to ex- 'I ..L- -<>1,nn h.. ft,a pense ana anxiety Ul re|)ieMrmuuvc \oLIo"" majority of the constituency?

Let them, in the energetic distribution of pills and potions, endeavour to throw oblivion over their defeat. It is to be hoped that the honourable exercise of their profession may, after a time, remune- rate them for the money they have so vindictively and fruitlessly squandered up to the time of the wii?,? drawal of this unworthy and ridiculous petition.

CARNARVON-.—WESLEYAV TEA NIEETING.-An efTort is made by the Wesleyan Methodists of this circuit, to erect & house for the Minister, and with the rentsaved, to extend the work. Contributions towards this object have been obtained from several friends, and nearly C12 were realised by a Tea Meeting in the Town Chapel, on Thursday last. The materials were provided by the liberality of several ladies connected with the society and congregation, and the tea gave great satisfaction to those assembled. After it was over, the meeting was effectively addressed by Evan Evans, Esq., Bangor, who presided; the Revds, L. Jones, R. Bonner, W H. Evans, and Mr. J. Thomas. Several well-selected pieces of music were sung by the choir, under the ahle superintendence of Mr. Humphrey Wiliams. The sum raised in the circuit for this year was about £44, which, with a grant of ZE27 from the connexion, will amount to £71. AN ELOPEMENT IN BETHE6DA.-An event which has caused considerable gossiping in this neighbour. hond, has just occurred in Bethesda. It is said that the wife of a respectable puMican, 29 years of age, recently got enamoured of a young man aged 22, a lodger in the same house, a native of Llanfyllin and a few days ago the landlord very suddenly missed Ids" better-half" as well as the lodger, and soon afterwards found that he was minus of a watch and a large sum of money which he had had in his poese>sior. It wa< reported by a party who had seen them together at Liverpool, that they had embarked for America; but whether so, or not, the deceived husband has not heard a word of them since; but appears resigned to his fate, and as Pope says, "For matrimonial obce dies a martn. It They had been married six years ago,find had one child, but the husband who is 4ti years of age, was of rather imtempeiate habits. The wife is a good looking woman, and was doing a very comfortable business. We hope, however, through her own good sense, or the vigilance of the police, she will be induced to return to her home- allegiance, and restore herself to the confidence of her disconsolate husband, who, we understand, is again ready to receive her, if in her future conduct will be indicated fruits meet for repentance." FKKEMASONRV.—The Provincial Grand Lodge of North Wales and Shropshire for the year, being sum- moned for Thursday last, at Bangor, the Ciaft Lodge, St. David, 540, was opened in the Three Degrees, at the British Hotel, by the W.M. Brother Swansborough, and subsequently the Provincial Grand Lodge was opened bv the R.W.P.G.M. Sir Watkin Williams, Wynn, Bart., M.V., and the business of the Province transacted, a portion of which was the voting of ten pounds to the Benevolent Annuity Fund of the Grand Lodge in London. The following officers were also appointed and invested :-llrors. Brightwell, P.G.S. Warden; Frani, P.G.J. Warden Hentley, P.G. Chaplain Bluck, P.G. Chapltiiii White, P.G. Treasurer; Broug- hall, P.G. Treasurer Wigan, P.G. Secretary Knowles, P.G.S. Deacon; SwanSbQrOUllh, P.G.J. Deacon; Ran- dal, P.G, Superintendent of Works; Barber, P.G. Di- rector of Ceremonies Bulkeley Owen, P.G. Director of Ceremonies; H. A. Jones, P.G. Sword Bearer; Hayden, P.G. Organist; Micholls, P.G. Pursuivaiit.- The following were appointed P.G. Stewards: Brors. Hayley, Webb, Preece, Felton, Thomas, and Wingfield. P. G. Tylers., Brors. Mallard, and Cureton. Auditors, Brors. Bayley and Brightwell The Provincial Grand Lodge and the Craft Lodge being closed in the Third and Second Degrees, the brethren were called from la- bour to refreshment, and at five o'clock' about fifty down to a sumptuous banquet, provided in Mrs. Dew's usually excellent style, with which the company were much pleased, and the wincs end dessert were greatly ?"nirf'd The H.W.P.G.M. presided, having on his left Colonel Br. Bullion, the G.M. of Bengal, and on his right the R.W.D.P.G.M., with the Officers of the P.G. Lodge, &c. &c. The usual loyal and masonic toasts were drank with enthusiasm; and at ten the Lodge w is finally closed by the W.M. The party was greatly enlivened by a corps of excellent vocalists, from Liverpool, conducted on the piano-forte by the V.W.P.G.O. Brother Ilayden. It was remarked, that there were no deputations from the Carnarvon and Ho- lyhead Lodges, and no brethren from Port Madoc, lkddgelert, or Pwllheli, except Capt. T. D. L. Jones- Parry, CilRCH EXTENSION.—The advent of the new U shop has created quite a religious revival in Bangor. Never was an authority so criticised and seldom has the result been so favourable. His Lordship, doubtless, observ- ing the crowded state of the Cathedral on Sunday mornings, listening to the entreaties of worshippers, and prompted by his own inclinations for church ex- tension in his diocese, sanctioned the opening of the National School for divine worship on Sunday even- ings, and consented to preach the first sermon. The commencement was fixed for a quarter past six o'clock, and long before that time-a heavy shower of rain falling-the building became crowded. There were a great number of strangers present, some of our leading families, many members of the various dissenting deno- minations of the neighbourhood, and a considerable portion of that class of people for whom the se,vice was more especially intended —we mean those who cannot get accommodation at the C"thedral, who do not ap- preciate Choral service, and to whom the Cathedral hours are inconvenient. At six, the Rev. D. Evans, one of the Vicars, entered the reading desk—the Bishop taking hi. seat on the left-and read the prayers in a very impressive manner, which were responded to by the congregation with fervour. The Bishop then took the same place, the Vicar retiring to the right, and preached most eloquently and pathetically from Luke vii 14, 15, "And he came and touched (ho bier: and theythatbarehimatoodiitH). And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise, And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother." The discourse was extempore, and seemed to make a deep impression. The Bishop allu ling to the simplicity of the place chosen for worship, intimated that he should preach in a still more simple place on the ensuing Sunday evening, viz., a large tent at Llan, dudno. A small choir, provided from the girl's school, by MI., Foulkes, and under the direction of the Very Hev, the Dean, led the musical portion of the services, in which the congregation heartily joined. Saving that the prevailing fashions prevented the accommodation of so many as might have been desirable, and that the neighbourhood was infested by a lot of noisy ill man- nered children, who disturbed the worshippers, the ex- periment passed off exceedingly well, and, if continued with the same results, will justify the building not only of one or two, but three new churches one for Upper Bangor (English), one for Lower Bangor (English), and one for Lower Bangor ?Vetsh). We have heard Ihnt 1? two latter are .u?ested as Parish Churches, and the former as a Chapel of Ease and are also told that the Cathedral staff will be considerably enlarged, with a view to clerical ailistance being given to the va- rious districte.

ANNUAL CLERGY MEETINGS FORI THE DIOCESE OF BANGOR. The proceedings i. of the committees and annual 1 meetings of the various societies connected with this Diocese were held if Bangor on Tuesday and Wed- nesday last. A special service took place in the Cathedral on Tuesday morning, after which the va- rious committees were formed for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements on behalf of their resnective societies. On Wednesday morning, there was another spe- cial service in the Cathedral, which was attended by the clergy of the diocese, who afterwards met in the the clergy of t l it, Chapter Room, where was held the Annual Meeting of the BANGOR DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDUP SOCIETY The proceedings were opened with prayer, and the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop, who was in the chair, called upon the Rev. Henry Owen to read the following REPORT. "In preparing this their twenty-first annual Report, the first and natural impulse of your Committee is, to record the loss which the Society has sustained in the decease of its President, our late venerable and respected Diocesan. r The last annual Report contained the following paragraph-" The Society was put in motion ill September, 1858, under the immediate auspices, and with the munificent support, of our respected Dio cesan, a support which your Committee with much thankfulness record, has been continued, in no di- minished measure, up to the present time." "It would ill become us to expatiate upon the many Christian virtues and excellent qualities for which our late Bishop was distinguished. We feel that it would be presumptuous in us to attempt to delineate those high moral and men tal qualifications which secured to him the veneration and the affec- tion of all classes within his diocese. "But we also feel, not only that propriety does not forbid, but that gratitude requires us to place on record the untiring interest, an d the munificent sup- n?.whic)), from the first moment fit,, ?titablish- ment to the last of his prolonged existence, our So- ciety experienced at his hands. In addition to an annual subscription of X50, his Lordship, at differ- ent times, contributed two donations of £ 100 each and when it is borne in mind that in almost all indi- vidual cases of building or restoring Churches, his name appeared amongst the most liberal contribu- tors, it will be evident that the aggregate of the contributions bestowed by his Lordship upon the Churches of his diocese would constitute a sum of very large amount. Add to this, that his Lordship gladly availed himself of every opportunity of at- tending both the Committees and the General Moerings oÎ the Society, where his wise counsels, and business like habits, contributed materially to the continuous success which has characterized its operations,- and we cannot fail to recognize abun- dant reasons why we, as members of this Society (to pass over our relation as members or ministers of the Church within his Diocese) should gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity of paying a tribute of affection and gratitude to the memory of our re- vered and munificent Presidcnt. Your Committee have nothing novel to report as regards the operations of the Society during the past year. Indeed the constitution and the object of a Society of this kind, precludes, as a rule, there ever being much to report, beyond supplying a dry statis- tical statement of Churches built or restored, and monies received and expended during the year under review". But this, though a characteristic unfavourable to framing a report with many features of interest, should nevertheless not be regarded as a sign of su- pineness on the part of the Society, or an indication that as there is little to report, but little is being done. Your Committee think they are justified in maintaining that the course of the Society during the twenty-one years of its operations, has been one of unbroken unalloyed success. If it has pursued the even tenor of its way calmly and composedly, without ostentation or excitement, it has by no means been unproductive of important valuable re- sults. Under its auspices, and by its aid, Church building and Church restoring have progressed much more rapidly than the most sanguine of the origina- tors of the Society could have anticipated, and per- haps quite as fast as prudent and judicious Church- men would desire. As a proof of which we may state, that the Society has been instrumental in building 4 new churches, re-building 32, and enlarg- ing, restoring, or otherwise improving too, making a total of 136. In effecting this, your Society has ex- pended a sum of £ 9,401 13s. Cel., and been the means of calling forth an aggregate expenditure of no less than £ 55,951 17s. Od. "The result of this liberal outlay is 11,629 addi- tional sittings; and as a proof of the laudable readi- ness with which individuals relinquish their ap- propriated pews, we may mention that the number by which the free sittings are increased, exceeds the total number of additional sittings by 153. "If your Committee have any thing to lament, it is that the income of the Society is not more com- mensurate with the good it is calculated to achieve. Many of our original and most liberal subscribers having been removed by death, and their places being but inadequately supplied by new members, the funds of the Society have gradually undergone a very material reduction. The necessary conse- quence of which is, of course, that we have been obliged, however reluctantly, to diminish consider- ably, the amount of our different grants. As evi- dence of this, we have to state that the aggregate of the grants which your Committee felt justified in making last year, upon an aggregate estimate ot £ 1,896, did not exceed £ 255. Your Committee would thankfully welcome an accession of sub- scribers from among both the laity and the clergy. Upon this head, however, your Committee have, at this moment, much cause for thankfulness, in being called upon to record a legacy of £ 1,000 bequeathed to the Society, by that benevolent and lamented lady, Mrs. Assheton Smith. This mumh- cent legacy will come in most opportunely in aid of our very humble balance of £121 5s. 2d. this sum representing the real available balance, after de- ducting unpaid grants to the amount of X660, and exclusive of arrears in the subscriptions oflast year, to the amount of £S!J 13s. Gd, and S30 7s. 6d. m former years. ° 0, Our last year's income stands as follows :-Sub- scriptions, C206 14s. 6d.; Donations, £ 25; Interest, £ (i 5s. 8d.— Iotal, £ 2o8 0s. 2d. The £ 25 under the head of donations was a gift to the Society from that zealous and benevolent indi- vidual, Mr. Henry Hoare. « The number of grants made during the year is G. In two of the cases, (Llanarmon and Demo), the churches are being rebuilt. The other grants were made in aid of different improvements in the re- spective Churches, or were additional grants. Ihe number of additional sittings which these grants have been a means of securing, is 321. Referring to the arrears, which amount to no less than C120 Is., your Committee would respectfully impress upon the members, the desirableness ot hav ing the subscriptions paid in at an early period of the financial year, (commencing 1st of August) as, in addition to other inconveniences, irregular and late payments entail upon the Society loss of interest, a consideration, in the present low state of our finances, not to be entirely disregarded. We now retire from our labours and responsi- bilities as your executive Committee, with a deep feeling of thankfulness, that the Society has been enabled to do so much for the glory of God, the good of His Church, and the spiritual edification of her members within the Diocese." For resolutions adopted, see advertisement. The rev. gentlemen then adjourned to the National Schoolroom, at 12 o'cloek, where a numerous body of the clergy assembled together, from nearly every part of the Diocese, amongst whom, we noticed the following:—The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bangor, Very Rev. the Dean, Rev. Chancellor Trevor; Revs. J. V. Vincent, James Williams, D. Williams, Llandwrog; W. Wynne Williams, H. AVynne Jones, H. Owen, D.D., 'rrefdraeth J. Wynne Jones, Heneglwys; M. Morgan, Conway, T.

Richards, Llanystymdwy; and many others whose names we could not ascertain. The meeting, presided over by the Lord Bishop, having been opened with a prayer, his Lordship called upon the Very Rev. the Dean to read over a statement of the affairs of I THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. The Rev. Evan Lewis, then read the report for the Very Rev. Gentleman, which will be published in our next. The Very Rev. the Dean said it would greatly facilitate the business of the Society if all were to furnish him with the information required of each depot by the librarian, and if the payments were made more regular. Several resolutions were then passed relative to reductions in the price of Welsh and English Testa- ments. The Dean, in supporting a resolution, the object of which was to pelition the Parent Society for Pro- moting Christian Knowledge, to restore to their ca- talogue a Welsh Bible, which was now out of print, said, that this copy of the Bible, as containing both the Apocrypha and the Prayer-book, and marginal references, was particularly appreciated by the Welsh readers of every denomination. He added, that it was peculiarly valued by members of the Church of England, and was termed" Y Bibl Eglwysig." or the Church Bible. In reference to this copy, he subjoined the following anecdote, saying:—Very many years since, one Richard Parry, who had been a parishioner of Llanllechid, and was then serving in the army in India, had written to him. requesting him to forward to him a copy of this Bible. The Dean added,by communication with the Commander in Chief, he was enabled to do so that Richard Parry had received the book, and expressed to him the great comfort it afforded him in a foreign land that he had put it in his knapsack, and had borne it on his back through 16 engagements, and had never received a wound. [We understand that R. Parry has returned to his native country, is still alive, and in good health.] The Rev. James Williams proposed that a Com- mittee be appointed, to take into consideration the expediency and best means of having the head depot in Bangor upon a larger scale, and in a more com- modious room than at present. In proposing such a resolution, he did not mean to disassociate the depot from the name of their excellent librarian, Mr. Foulkes, than whom no one could have discharged the duties more satisfaciorily but wished to remove the obstacle which was felt in providing a proper place for the collection of books, which had become now somewhat extensive. This resolution, to which was appended a list of the committee, was seconded by the Rev. D. Wil- liams. and carried unanimously. The Rev. James Williams proposed a vote of thanks to the Very Rev the Dean for his long and unremitting attention to the business of the Society, which owed its success in a great measure to the manner in which the duties of a Secretary had been fulfilled by the Dean for 40 years of his long and useful life. (Applause.) The very rev. gentleman, in returning thanks, said that when he first came into the country in 1810, many of those present were not then in <>rder». In his progress through the churches, and his annual visitation of the schools, he experienced the greatest kindness from them all. By their assistance, the Society had prospered, and he prayed God to be- stow His blessing upon it, so that it might still pros- per more. It was always his desire to do the duties of his office with satisfaction and he assured them that he would die with the harness upon his back, and whilst he received the wages of the Church, he would endeavour to do the work of the Church, and toen lay down his head in peace. (Applause.) BANGOR DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCA- TION. The Rev. J. V. Vincent, the Secretary, read the following Report:- Eleven year. have now elapsed since the first establishment of the Diocesan Board of Education, and another Anniversary having ai-riveti, it has become necessary, according to custom, to make report—this being the tenth-of what has been done in the year now concluded. "During thit lapse of time, however, so many changes have taken place affecting the circumstances and objects to which the attention of the Board has been drawn, that the remarks which the Committee will have to make will be almost, if not quite, as much prospective and suggestive, as retrospective. The principal occurrence which has affected the efforts of the Board has arisen from a diminution of its funds consequent upon the withdrawal by several au- nual supporters of their subscriptions, which have since the establishment of the North Wales Training College, been diverted from the Diocesan Board and placed to the credit of that Institution. Previously, duiingthe period thai there was no Diocesan Training Institution for Schoolmasters available, a considerable portion of the income of the Diocesan Board was expended in aid of students desirous of becoming schoolmasters, but it was not cûn. fined to those educated within the Diocese,—-more especially, the annual grant made by the Welsh Education Committee was expended in training mas- ters and mistresses in well-approved Training Institu- tions out of the Diocese subsequently it was with the full concurrence of the late Venerable Bishop, and also of the Welsh Education Committee, determined that the whole of the sum, viz: £ 100, voted by the W. E. C. should be applied solely to the Training in English Institutions, 01 schoolmistresses intended for Welsh schools,—and this object was so unanimously approved, that it was resolved that a special fund should be raised by subscription for the same purpose. This arrangement continued, ana with muoh ad. vantage, until last year, when, owing to a strong feel- ing expressed by many members of this Board, and also from a proposition from the Educational Committee of St Asaph, it was determined that an Organizing ;sap'h;hldb engaged and employed at ihe joint expense of both dioceses, the National Society liberally assisting by paying halt of the whole cost. "lia,ing entered into this engagement with the dio- caae of St, As iph, the B.D.B.E. is unwilling abruptly to withdraw, although it is the opinion of a large pro- portion of the members, that the small funds at their disposal were more profitably expended wien appro- priated to the training of schoolmistresses. They wuuld, however, venture to suggest, that the present scheme should be carried out, until the Organ- izing Master has visited all those schools which may need and request his good offices. They would, however, strongly call attention to the great diminution in their means,whioh the expense of engaging and paying an Organizing Master has caused, and strongly recommend that vigorous eflorts should be made to increase the fund which has been thus heavily drawn on. » It. has been suggasted that a Training Institution for Schoolmistresses should be established in this diocese, and cogent reasons given for urging on the project. This possibly may become necessary at a future time, but at present it is the opiniou of the Com- mittee that this expedient should not be resorted to, except in case of absolute necessity; first, because of the great expense which would be incurred; and secondly, because the training of young Welsh School- mistresses in well-established and approved Training Colleges in England, would be more advantageous to themselves and the Principality, where it is intended they should become the instructors of their young countrywomen. Betoro concluding, the B.D.B.E., think it only justice to the Organizing Masters who have been em. ployed, to state that their conduct and intelligence have been universally approved and that they do not in any way intend to disparage the value of their services, ai- though under the present circumstances of their tunds, they cannot hope to retain them permanently without the withdrawatottht limited iuome at their disposal, from objects which, in their estimation, even more ur- gently call for attention. "The Committee have only to add that the general progress of education throughout the diocese, is satis- factorily progressillg i and that the balance in the hands ot the Treasurer in favour of the Board, amounts at the present time (Aug. 2nd) to £61 3s. Od." The Lord Bishop said he observed that their late Diocesan had been in the practice of placing at the disposal of the Board, the annual grant of the Welsh Education Committee, amounting to £100. For the last year that grant had not yet been paid, but he had authority to state that this would be done, and the grant continued for the present year The Rev. Jas. Williams, in moving that the report read be printed and circulated, detailed certain items, and the means by which he had been enabled to procure schoolbooks upon very advantageous terms, in connection with the Society. There were 1:60 worth sold last year, and £70 this year, and the sav- ing thus effected to the Schools, by an outlay of about £ 6 for carriage from London and Dublin, was £32 odd. (Cheers) He then proceeded to another subject, to which he wished to call their attention. They were now presided over by a Diocesan able to speak the language of the country. (Cheers.) That being so, he thought it a favourable opportunity to bring before them the means generally adopted throughout the Diocese of imparting religious know- ledge to the children in the schools under their care. It was known to many of those present, by the pub- lic reports that one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Se ,= thought it proper to state, that an acquisition of religious knowledge in the schools of the Princi- pality was very insufficient. That gave rise to a cor- respondence between the Bishop of Llandaff and the Inspector. He did not pay much attention at the time to what was said on both sides, but he well re- membered that his conviction was, that both were right, and the rev. gentleman went on to prove what was apparently so contradictory. He said it arose from a wrong notion of the means to impart religious knowledge to the children of this country, which should be imparted to them in their own mother tongue. He had seen, with much pleasure, a small fiamphlet published, entitled A few Words on be- ,alf of Teaching Welsh Children in their own Lan- guage," &c. It contained a great deal of common sense, and much of a practical character, from which he read them an extract. He knew he would be met by some with objections, such as—that the time of the childret) was so short at school, and the acqui- sition of English so necessary, that they could not spare time to teach in Welsh. Well, his own school, which was in a rural district-and he only referred to schools in country districts, not those in the towns —was always very favourably reported of, and the plan he recommended was there adopted. The chil- dren at his school understood better English than in most others, and he attributed that to the use of Welsh as a medium of communicating knowledge to them, which was most valuable, They might ac- quire ability to repeat a certain number of English phrases and phraseology like a parrot, in the usual way, but, speaking from experience, he was able to state that, by means of the vernacular, the children would be taught to understand and appreciate the real and grammatical use of the language. With some further observation, he concluded by proposing the adoption of the Report, which was seconded by the Rev. Henry Owen, Llangefni. The Itilit Rev. Chairman said with reference to the subject mooted by Canon Williams, in his own late parish there was a considerable mixture of both languages, but by tar the majority of them understood both, and English was the language used in the schools there. However, he was in. clined to believe that most of the parishes in this Diocese were different to what his own was.and that in a great majority of them Welsh was almost the only language spoken. About a month ago, in coming to Bangor, he met a lad, who was a pupil teacher at Ffestiniog National School, and a com- petitor for the Training Institution at Carnarvon, and in answer to a question he put to him, he said that the English was the language used in impart- ing religious knowledge tliere, but that the cLihtren understood very little of it. The difficulty to a great extent might be met by the schoolmasters them- selves, for though the books were in English, they eould be explained to the children in Welsh. (Ap- plause ) The Key. D. Williams proposed, seconded by the Rev. T. 11. Ellis, that the services of the Organising Master be continned. The Rev. James Williams spoke of the benefits which inferior schools derived from the services of the Organizing Masters. the T. Thomas thought the duties of the Organ- ising Master, and those of the Government In- spector, very often interfered with each other, and he objected to a continuance of the for.ner. Rev. Henry Owen believed that his own schools had deri ved great benefit from the services of the Organizing Master, though he legretted that the funds were diverted from other useful purposes. The Rev. Mr. Vincent hoped their connexion with the Organising Master would not be so abruptly broken off this year, and feared such a measure might be considered uncourteous towards the Dio- cese of St. Asaph. Rev. Dr Owen thought the services of the Or- ganising Master 'nost invaluable. Rev. T. Thomas said he felt so strongly upon the matter, that he proposed, as an amendment, that the services of the Organising Master be discon- tinued," which the Rev. T. Davies seconded. Rev. T. Lloyd Owen inquired if they did away with the Organizing Master would the funds be available for bringing up females, which appeared to be so much needed? Rev. Mr. Vincent said he had regretted as much as any one the original diversion of the funds from a purpose which he considered paramount, viz., the training of schoolmistresses, and for a long time op- posed the change; but. several having been strong ad- vocates of the experiment,and amongst them our late Venerable Diocesan, he had yielded his own opinion in deference to their's, but he never considered that it was intended to be continued permanently. Rev. Chancellor Trevor inquired what good the Organising Master had done in this Diocese? lie was certainly a very agreeable man to pass a few hours with but he assured them he did not make his school any better. (Hear, hear.) Rev. D. Williams replied by alluding to the good effected in his school by his visits, and mentioned in particular the way in which regularity and order were established by him. Rev. H. Owen thought, that having applied for the services of the Organising Master, they would be stultifying themselves in his sudden discon- tinuance. Hev. Evan Lewis said the application was only for one jeur, and supported the amendment. Rev. H. Owen remarked that he was not aware of its being limited to any fixed time. Rev. Nlr. Vincent confirmed Nfr Lewis's state. ment, that there was no absolute agreement for more than one vear but said that the late Bishop had sig- nified his desire that the Organizing Master's services should be continued until all such schools as might -a wish to that effect had been finally visited. He trusted for the present year the resolution would be allowed to pass. Rev. M. Williams, said the schools at Amlwch derived considerably more good fiom the Diocesan Inspector, the Rev. James Williams himself, (hear, hear,) than from any organising master. Rev. T. C. Owen fully appreciated the services of the gentlemen spoken of, and would gladly accede to the motion for his continuance for the present year only. The Rev. H. Owen proposed, seconded by the Rev. H. N. Lloyd, "That the Rural Deans be re- quested to furnish a list of the schools in their re- spective Deaneries, requiring the assistance of the Organising Master." This give rise to considerable discussion, but eventually, the amendment" that the services of the Organizing Master be discontinued," was carried by a large majority. All the Committee were re-elected members for the ensuing year, upon the motion of the Rev. Dr. Owen, seconded by the Rev. J ..Owen. Rev. Chancellor Trevor spoke in highly eulogistic terms of the services rendered to the Society by the Secretary, the Rev. J. V. Vincent, to whom he pro- posed a vote of thanks, which was seconded by the Rev. W. Wynne Williams. Rev. Mr. Vincent in returning thanks, spoke of the obligations he was under to his brethren for their unvarying readiness to co-operate and to assist. He had always found them ready to do so, whether at the Board, in Committee, or Íll their several locali- ties. He could only say, that he individually, had much pleasure in attempting to do his duty, and, if permitted would continue to do so as long as he held the otfice entrusted to him. (Applause.) BANGOR DIOCESAN TRACT SOClhl*. The Rev. H. Wynne Jones read the report, from which it appeared that the total available funds of the Society, after paying the Librarian, &c., was 922 16s. 9;d. He invited any suggestion which might be offered to the consideration of the Com- mittee. Rev. J. Owen impressed upon the Committee the desirability of publishing small tracts, instead of the larger ones, to be distributed to parishioners- Rev. T. Thomas said the Society had now been in operation for eleven years, and had yet done but very little good, but might be made very useful by publishing good sound practical tracts, instead of those of a controversial character, which they had hitherto published. A monthly or a bi-month y tract of that description might be issued, and would undoubtedly do much good. In Carnarvon they had a small Tract Society of their own, but it was rather expensive; and if they adopted his suggestion that might merge into their's. Rev. E. Lewis said Mr. Thomas refused to become a member of the Committee. Mr. Thomas said that under those circumstances he did. Rev. E. Lewis could not agree with Mr. Thomas that the Society had done no good. That it had done some good he could himself testify. Such was the character of the tracts, entitled-" Eglwys Loegr ac Eglwys Crist," Arweinydd at yr A1\or," "Dadl fer ar Fedydd Babanod," Cyfaill i'r Claf," &c. Several new names were added on the Committee, I including that of Mr. Thomas; and it was resolved that the tracts published be the productions of other clergymen besides those whose names were on the Committee. CLERGY, WIDOWS, AND ORPHANS CHARITY. The Rev. W. Morgan, the secretary, read an ab- stract of the accounts of this Charity; but the busi- ness transacted in connexion with it was compara tively unimportant to the public.

LL,ANRHAIM>R-YN-MOCHNANT.— Ihe corn harvest is commenced and many a field has been sheafed. The wheat appears, in general, heavy strong and healthy, and bids fair for good yielding; but the late drought greatly impeded the progress of the spring cereals, both barley and oats being abort, and the crops on the aver- age very light.

SHIP LAUNCH IN BANGOR. On Tuesday morning Inst, an unusually large number of spectators assembled together at and around the build- ing yard of Mr. Edward Ellis, Garth, Bangor, to wit- ness the hunch of a beautifully designed and strongly built barque, which was partly rigged, awaiting the final operations that were to enable her to enter the wide briny ocean which she is destined to navigate. The erection of a vessel of such comparatively large dimensions is a rare occnrrence in this pai t of the P, in. i, it)-, and, in fact, this was the first of the kind ever b upi ,iti B angoi,, and we trust for the sake of the towu and natle, it will not be the last. HermodelBnù gene- ral appear.tnce greatly redound to the credit of the designer (Mr. Edward Ellis, jun.,) and the enterprising builder, who hRa thown ouch opirit in the conduct of the exlemire busines8 in which he is engaged. The baique was named the Heatherbell, and measures—length of keel, U2 feet breadth, 24 ft. 10 in., and 15 ft. hold carries 440 ton^custom-house measurement 257 and is .e¿i,tcred A 1, 12 years classification. She is intended for the foreign trade, to be commanded by one of the principal owneis, Captain Thomas, of New Quay, South Wales. About half past twelve on the above day, me usum signal was given, and all hands were in full operation. She tths then christened by Mrs. Thomas (the captain • wHe) when she smoothly and slowly glided down, amidst the loud plnudit. of the people ashore and on board but, unfortunately, to the great disappointment of all, she suddenly came to a stand still at the extreme end of the sidings, and there remained in statu QUO, despite all the efforts made to release her from the un- happy position in whieh she wus in, until the follow- ing morning. In the meantime, the tide having receded, the caUse of the failure was .,eeltained to be that, in consequence of (here not being sufficient water for the stern to float, the balks at the end sustained extra pres- sure of weight, and partly gave way. This the builder immediately set about repairing, and excavated in front. The preparations having been completed by the next tide, which exceeded the previous one of about one fool in height, the Heatherbell "quietly finished her course at one o'clock, and is now moored under Mr. Ellis's yard. Such events are seldom allowed to pass in Wales, without being honoured by free contribution of the Cambrian Awen, and on the forepart of the 11 Heather- bell we noticed the following significant lines:- llwda for ragor 0 ri-i nofio i Yn nnVtus dy weilgi, Kulun 0')" forlan ) w hi, Y wjllt don a hylit dad. About five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the carpen- ters and others employed by the builder, as well as some of the owners and well-wishers of the 11 Heatherbell dined together at the Belle Vue Hotel, Upper Bangor, where a most excellent and bountiful repast was enjoyed, catered in Miss Jones's customary good style. Each having reasonably replenished the "irnvaru man," the cloth was drawn, and the usual loyal toasts given from the chair; after which ,I Success to the "HeatherbeU," was drunk, followed by the health of Captain Thomas, Mr. Edward Ellis, and lis8 Jones, the hostess, and the company sepaiated early.
