FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. You would hardly think we have been near a minis. terial crisis,—yet so it is; and it arose out of the appoint- ments consequent upon the death of the Lord CHAN. CELLOR. There was the old claim made by Lord JOlIN RRSSELI, for the Master of the Rolls, who, I believe, would have made a better Chancellor than Sir RICHARD BETHELL-I beg his pardon, Lord WESTBURy-that is his present title,-because, though not a better lawyer, in all respects, perhaps not so good; he has a better temper. If the hasty petulance-the headstrong self- opinion-of the new Baron does not get the master of him, and imperil his usefulness, as the" head of the law" in England, I shall be much mistaken; and I shall be very glad, indeed. if I am. Lord JOHN put forward the claims of his relatives when Lord CHELMSFORD had to retire. Then Sir R. BETHELL also contended for the prize; it was given, in order to avoid any absolute clashing of interests, to a neutral, as far as personal pre- dilections and connections were concerned,—though he was a strong Whig-to Lord CAMPBELL. Now, Sir RICHARD BETHELL having been before in the field, could not be overlooked; and he was, after some opposition from Lord JOHN, appointed to the Woolsack. Who was to b" hi. ,ON,un,. mnTA difficult Question to decide. The routine of office, scarcely ever disregarded, pointed out the SOLICITOR-GENERAL as the proper successor 'of the Lord CHANCELLOR in the office of Attorney-General. But there was a formidable obstacle—Sir WM. ATHER- TON'S known incompetency. Nor is there any member of the party much better qualified, at the present mo- ment; all the men really conspicuous for talent being found on the opposition benches. "Never were the Whigs so ill-provided with recruits from Westminster Hall," says the Silent Member," in the last number of the London Review. Bethell being gone, there re- mained Atherton, Headlam, Mellor, Collier, on the mi- nisterial side, to pit against Cairns, Fitzroy Kelly, Sel- wvn, Whiteside, (Irish Bar, it is true,) Malins, Rolt, Bo- vill, Walpole. The disparity is preposterous." In this dilemma, the idea of making Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER Attorney-General was started, and after some considera- tion, it was resolved to confer the office on that gentle- man, and to hold out to Sir WM. ATHERTON the pros- pect of being elevated to the Bench, at no very dietant. period,—it being intimated that Mr. JUSTICE HILL might soon be expected to resign. AS iUr. CALMER nas no seat in Pai-liament-ite formerly represented Ply- mouth,—negociations were set on foot to get some one to resign, in order to allow of his becoming a candidate; and the whole thing was confidently supposed, last Fri- day and Saturday, to have been arranged. But "there's many a slip 'tween the cup and the lip." Remonstrances were madfirst gently, then more strongly and it was soon found that if Mr. PALMER was appointed, there would be general revolt in the ministe- rial ranks, and that only Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. GLADSTONE'S friends would rally round them. The Dis- senters were especially irate at the elevation of Mr. PAL- MER, a High Churchman and a supporter of church rates, over Sir WM. ATHERTON, whilst office was withheld in- definitely from some other place hunter. So these re- monstrances assumed such a shape on Saturday that the appointment of Mr. PAUIER asAttorney general was can- ctlled; and the usual course taken. The Globe of Mon- day evening announces the appointment of Sir WILLIAM ATHERTON, who will, I believe, have to fight for his seat at Durham. It was once supposed that one of the medi. ocrts would step into his place; but it appears" com- promise is the order of tho day; and last evening it was announced that Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER was the new solicitor general. As soon as the new officers can take their seats, they will have to consider the new bankruptcy bill, which is not to be gh-en up. The Lord CHANCELLOR once alluded to that bill as amended by the Lords, before he left the Lower House; when he Baid their Lordsdip's amend- ments had deprived it of every valuable feature. Some mercantile men in London connected with the Associated Commercial Societies also met the week before last and passed resolutions, strongly condemning the amendments, and praying that they might nearly all be rejected. The Committee of the Manchester Society for the Protection of Trade has, however, published this week a "minute," in which they state that those resolutions are contrary to others passed at a meeting iu London of the Associated Commercial Societies, the Mercantile Law Amendment Society, and the Manchester Committee; that the amendments of their Lordships are well calculated to carry out the resolutions first passed, and that they hope the til] as amended may paM without delay. A petition to the House of Commons, and a memorial to Lord PAL- MERSTOX in favour of the amended bill, have also been signed by nearly all the leading men connected with the home trade in Manchester. The intelligence from France announces, that the trial of M. MIRES is concluded; but judgment will not be given till to-morrow. The EMPEROR arrived at Paris yesterday, and presided at a council of ministers. To day he goes to Vichy. Count PEBSIGNY has been in London he returned to Paris, yesterday nioriiitig.-It was reported at Turiu, yesterday, that the French had evacuated Civita Vecchia, and were about to evacuate Viterbo. On Tuesday there was a popular tumult at Rome between the population, and the Pontifical gen- darmes one of the latter was killed, and another wounded. A French gendarme, and several other persons were also wounded. There is no further intelligence respectingthe conspiracy against GARIBALDI; and recent rumours spread in Paris of the breaking out of disturbances in Naples, are contradicted in accounts from the latter city.—A telegram from Madrid, dated yesterday, says that the republicans, who were foolish enough to get up an emeute, in Gonada, have been shut up in Loja. They have offered to surrender, if their lives are spared but are told, they must surrender at discretion.-According to a telegram from St. Peters- burg, dated yesterday, a money crisis is becoming imminent in that capital. Gold and silver coin had disappeared from the market; and discount had risen to 9 per cent. -From Vienna, we learn, that a deputa- tion from the upper house of the Hungarian diet was received by the EMPEROR yesterday. The members ex- pressed their approval of the imperial rescript, relative to the address; and the EMPEROR declared his intention of maintaining the policy developed in his speech at the opening of the Reichsratb.-There is intelligence from New York, ',0 the 22nd ult. At that date, Colonel WALLACE and the Indiana regiment were surrounded at Cumberland, Maryland, by the secessionists, and all chance of retreat cut off. A strong force had been seperated from Harrisburg to their relief.-The outposts of the Uunion force at Hampton had been driven in on the 19th, by the secessionists, who were actively ex- tending their lines towards the fortress.—In other quarters, the unionists had obtained advantages; and it is said captured a camp at Baconstown, with a quantity of equipage, provisions, horses, &c.—The secessionists in Virginia, are allowed, however, to be better officered and diciplined than the union men; and it is now said, that the federal government is convinced that an army of 250,000 men will be required to effect the object of the war. More periodicals is the order of the day. The Sixpenny Magazine is a marvel of cheapness. It contains 128 pages of really good readable matter, and about 40 wood cuts. It can never be got up, and published for the money, if anything is paid to the writers.—JOHN CAS- SELL announces another periodical, to be called The Quiver, which will be chiefly devoted to the advance- ment of religion, and appears on the 31st of August.— Dr. MACKAY'S new weekly Robin Goodfellow is to appear on Saturday.—The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge will start a journal, at the com- mencement of the next year,—on the plan of the popular Family Herald, and London Journal,—which will not be inferior to any periodical, high or low priced, either in matter or appearance.—DICKENS'S Great Expectations, and HARRISON AINSWORTII'S Constable of the Tower, will be published very shortly, each in 3 volumes;- Chapman and Hall will speculate with both.—The po- pular novelist, Miss FREDERICA BREMER is in Greece. She goes to make herself well acquainted with the coun- try and its inhabitants, of which she is to write an ac- count. MARY HOWITT will give the work to the public in an English dress.—Count Cavour's Memoirs, from ori- ginal sources, will shortly be published by Mr. Main- waring, King William-street, Strand. It will be a most valuable book, if truthfully written.

APPOINTMENT.—The Rev. John Evan Davies, M.A., of Jesus College, Oxford, has been appointed to the In- eumbcncy of Trevor, near Llangollen. Patron-Mrs. Iremonger. ROYAL CARNARVONSHIRE AND ANGLESEY RIFLES.— Captain Pearse, Adjutant of the Anglesey wing, has re- joined head quarters from school of musketry, Hythe, having obtained a first class certificate from that estab- lishment. SUICIDE IN BANGOR.A man named Wm. Jones, a plasterer, formerly residing at Hen Durnpike, Bangor, on Friday morning, committed suicide by drowning himself in the Menai Straits, a little below Garth Terrace. He had for some time been in a desponding state of mind, and had of late become much addicted to drink. He was a married man, and has left behind a wife and several children. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-The inhabitants of Bangor were somewhat disappointed yesterday morning, in the delay which took place in the delivery of the London letters; which, however, was accounted for later in the day by the report of an accident having ocurred to the mail near Rugby, by the bursting of a boiler, by which the train was thrown off the line, and the engine driver and fire- man were seriously injured. Fortunately all the pas- sengers escaped unhurt. GINNKTT'S CIRCUS gave two performances in Bangor, on Wednesday Last, to numerous and respectable audiences. The procession through the town was not so attractive as usual, but the entertainment itself amply compensated for any falling off iu that respect. The vaulting was remarkably good, and young Lloyd proved himself a daring and clever horseman. The leading clown was very witty and entertaining, and kept the house in continued roars of laughter. The special feature in the present management, consists in the giving away of prizes, after the old Mountemank fashion, to the amount, it is I said, of £20. The prizes included a gold watch, a lady's crinoline, and bustle; the former fell to the lot of a youth named David Jones, and the two latter, amid the roars and j'ers of the house, were consigned to the safe keeping of two unfortunate bachelors. This circus, with an entirely new programme, will again visit Ban- gor ón Tuesday next. COLONEL PENNANT'S SHORTHORNS.—The sale of cows and bull calves at Wiokhan Park, on Thursday, was well attended, and the stock reali??ed good prices. Amongst the purchasers were-Mr. Oliver, Sholebrooke Lodge; Mr. Ellis, of Guildford; Mr. Faulkner, of Rothersthorpe Robinson, of Clifton Pastures; Mr. Horwood, of Stean Park; Mr. Robinson, of Castle Ashby; Mr. Palmer, of Lillingstone; Mr. Handscomb, of Padbury; Mr. Arnatt, of Tingewick Manor House; Mr. Treadwell of Westcott; Mr. Whitton, of Green's Norton; Mr. Markham, of Northampton; Mr. Battams, North Fields; Mr. Bennett, Castle Farm, &c., &0. An excellent luncheon was pre- sided over by Mr. Doig and Mr. Smith, of Penrhyn, and ample justice was done to the Colonel's hospitality. The remarks of the auctioneer—Mr. Harrison, of Buck- ingham-on the Colonel's well known liberality, and especially on the paramount advantage to the agricultural interest of gentlemen giving their time, judgment, and great wealth in the production of high class stock, and then throwing them open to unreserved competition, were well received. Indeed, so determined was the Colonel that no lot should lie bought in that he had a cow and M armaduke calf, which the bailiff had purchased, put up again and resold, and we have no doubt that this determination to sell without reserve will, if the Colonel has annual sales at Wicken, ensure an increasing attend- ance and competition.—Bucks Herald. BANGOn LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.-The usual fort- nightly meeting was held on Thursday last, Mr. W. Pritchard in the chair. The following minutes were agreed to Water agreement to be shewn at next meet. ing. Plan of Caemaeslodwig Estate to be produced at the next meeting of the Board. Plan of intended back kitchen to be erected at Caellepa approved. Tabernacle Chapel schoolroom extension plan not approved, there being no means of ventilation, and height not being ade- quate, and distance from adjoining property not being sufficient. The Clerk reported that no hackney carriage proprietors or drivers had as yet been licensed, they having in a body attended the Board's offices on the day duly appointed for licensing, and retused signing applica- tion for license. Ordered that the law be forthwith fully enforced.—The Surveyor reported that the Dean's wall had been set back in accordance with plan produced at a late meeting, and that the improvements effected was very considerable. The Surveyor also reported that the Glanrafon drainage and water supply was progressing very favourably. Also, that since the last meeting the Bull premises in High-street had been drained, and an efficient supply of water laid on. Also, that the Kyffin Arms drainage and water supply, and Berllan-bach drainage and water supply, were near completion. The Surveyor reported that he had given the plumber orders to lay on a supply of water to each of the urinals in High-street, in accordance with an agreement made with the Water Company for a supply gratis.

Anderson, and Eliza Carroll were brought up on remand charged with rob- bing and being concerned in robbing David Davies, a Welshman, of X245 in gold, a watch, and a quantity of jewellery. Mr. Cobb defended the prisoners. The Prosecutor had for two or three years been seeking his fortune in the auriferious regions of Australia, and returned to this country in the spring of the present year. He arrived in Liverpool on the 19th of April, and took lodgings at 29, Union-street. In the evening of the day of his arrival he sauntered into Vauxhall-road, where he met with some of the femile prisoners, and accom- panied them first to a ginshop, and next to a house of a certain description. He had his watch with gold appen- dages and Uic jvoU"y in his possession at thetime,and was wearing a waistcoat, in tho lining of which 245 sovereigns were sewn up. He partook of some rum with the women, and shortly afterwards became per- fectly oblivious. When he recovered consciousness he found himself minus his hard-earned money, watch and chain into the bargain. The evidence adduced at the hearing yesterday was similar to that given at the for- mer examinations, and showed that the whole of the prisoners were implicated in plundering the unfortunate gold miner, who is now pursuing a less profitable occu- pation in the Welsh mining districts, and they were ac- cordingly committed for trial, Mr. Raffles remarking that he thought the police deserved very great credit for the manner in which they had got up the case, which was a most difficult one.

OPENING OF THE BANGOR SAILORS' CHRIS- TIAN INSTITUTE AND READING ROOM. Our readers will remember that a few weeks ago a public meeting was held at the National School, in this city, under the presidency of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, for the purpose of raising the necessary means to establish a Sailors' Institute, similar to the one at Carnarvon, Aberystwyth, and other places. The move- ment was originated here by Mrs. Holcombe, a benevo- lent lady with ample means at her command, who has for many years past taken a lively interest in everything appertaining to the welfare of sailors. Mrs. Holcombe succeeded, not only in enlisting the sympathies of the dignitaries of the Church, but also of the various dis- senting ministers, and, with one or two trifling exceptions' the most perfect accord reigned as to the desirability of forming the institute. A public meeting was then called, over which the Bishop presided, and resolutions in accordance with the prevailing spirit were carried by loud acclamation. Bub-committees were appointed to canvass the town for subscriptions, while the general committee attended to the organization of the move- ment. In the beginning there was a slight difference in opinion as to the name the institution-should bear, but we are happy in being able to state that no substantial difficulty beset the movement. The public readily gave their money for this very laudable and Christian object, and the committee worked industriously, so that the free- will offerings of the people should not be frittered away in needless expenses. A commodious house in High- street, opposite Friars School, has been rented by the committee; the lower portion and the upper apart- ments have been let to a tradesman, who pays a small rent, with the obligation to keep the large front room, aRd the small room adjoining, on the first floor, in a clean and tenantable state for the use of the institute. These rooms are neatly and suitably fur- nished, and a supply of papers, including the Shipping Gazette, the local papers, &c., together with copies of the scriptures, &c., will daily be found upon the table. All the arrangements necessary for opening the room having been completed, Monday last was fixed for the inauguration, and certainly a splendid demonstration it turned out. Shortly after six o'clock, the members of the committee, and a large number of other gentle- men, met at the Port Entrance to Penrhyn Park, to or- ganize the procession. We should mention that the au- thorities at the Port very kindly allowed the men to leave work an hour earlier, to allow them to take part in the proceedings and the same liberality was shown to their employees by Messrs. Thomas & Co., slate works. The procession, which was headed by the V 0- lunteer Band (who generously gave their services gratui- tously), comprised the members of the Committee, the coast guardsmen, and about 200 sailors; the rear was brought up by a large body of tradesmen &c., and as the procession wended its way through the town, its ranks were swelled by hundreds, if not thousands, of well dressed people, all anxious to evince their ardent sym- pathy with the open-lieai ted brave men who encounter the perils of the mighty deep. Union Jack??,   flags were thick in the procession; and a .talwart fellow carried a large handsome Bethel" flag, which Mrs. Hol- combe has very kindly presented to th'? Institution. All alon"s e the line of procession, the llhablnts displayed flags, and the streets were thickly lined with spectators. The nrocession having reached opposite the institute, halted, and the committee entered the premises and in sjweted the rooms set apai by them for the purposes of spected the rooms se.apait?

I will only say what I have said beforvthat I trust that thi. Institute 4u?ll everything connected with it will go on swimmingly. (Laughter and cheers.) Hcv. S. ROBERTS aid that he was glacl to perceive tho interest which had been evinced by the town generally, as well as .by the sailors themselves, in the formation of a Christian Sailors' Institute for Bangor. It now only rested with the sailora to shew how they appreciated that interest, and added that the feeling so unmistakably shewn Iy the inhabitants in the pro- motion of their comfort, could only be repaid by their making proper use of the means which had been so li- berally placed within reach of all of them. (Cheers.) Mr. J. ROBERTS followed in the same strain, and pointed out the advantages which the institute offered to seamen, the liberality shewn by the townspeople generally in its establishment, and the special allure- ments from which the class it intended to benefit would be protected. (Cheers.) Rev. S. ROBERTS, on behalf of the Committee, thanked the Band for their kind services that evening, and the people dispersed. Thus concluded the ceremony, which was conducted throughout in a manner that spoke well of the future success of the Î11titute. The following and others joined the proceuion Very Rev. thp Dean; Rev.

Jones, of the Museum; also, a splendid chart of Great Britain and Ireland, by the Rev. Jas:- Purvis, Fiiim. This is an ex- cellent beginning, and may others follow their example.

CARNARVON. CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY.—The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bangor preached a Sermon at St. Mary's Church, Carnarvon, on Sunday last, in aid úf the funds of the Church Building Society, which resulted in a li- beral-collection being made. Arrangements are in course of being made for a lec- ture on Geology and Nebular Astronomy, by Mr. Mac- kintosh, at the National School Room, nejet Friday, under the patronage of the Rev. J. C. Vincent and a number of the leading inhabitants of the town. GINNETT'S CIRCUS.—On Thursday last, the town of Carnarvon was enlivened by the performance of the above troupe, and although the weather during the greater part of the day was most unpropitious, the even- ing had become very fine, and while our despatches were being sent off, they were performing to a large audience, and it appeared, from the noise of the juveniles, that the numerous exploits performed were evidently giving that satisfaction they are so richly entitled to from the public. CARNARVON HARBOUR TRUST.—The quarterly meet- ing of this Trust was held on Tuesday last. There were present, Llewelyn Turner, Esq. (Mayor); Messrs. Poole, sen., Thos. Turner, Robt. Williams, jun., S. Hobley, J. Harding, Smith Davids, and Capt. Thomas. The vouch- ers for last month's payments were examined, and the minutes of the last meeting having been read over, a conversation ensued upon the position of the buoys and other matters, which were not of public interest.Mr. Smith Davids complained of the nuisance committed by the sewage from the Training College emptying itself close under the Castle wall. It was agreed that the Col- lege authorities should be spoken to on the subject, that an understanding might be come to to have it removed. Mr. S. Daviila moved, and Mr. Turner seconded, that the shore ground in the upper part of the harbour, near the Gas-works, should be without delay walled in, and Mr. Jackson was requested to give his immediate attention to it.

The Treasurer's Book showed a balance of X1149 3s. lld. in favour of the Union. On the motion of Mr. S. OWEN, seconded by Mr. W. Evans, it was resolved that the Treasurer be requested to receive the calls in full instalments only. On the motion of Mr. R. Jones, Hafod-y-coed, second- ed by Mr. RAWSON, it was resolved that Air. Morris Davies, surgeon, be elected medical officer of the Llan- dwrog district. A letter containing the sanction of the Poor Law Board to the appointment of Mr. W. E. Richardson, as collector of rates for the Parish of Llanbeblig, was read. A letter from the Poor Law Board was also read, rela- tive to Mr. H. Williams, collector of rates, St. Peters, Newborough, stating that as Mr. Williams has named two sureties to the bond which he is required to give for the faithful discharge of his duties, they (the Poor Law Board) think that if the Guardians are satisfied of the sufficiency of the security, the bond should at once be completed, and in the event of any complaints being made against Mr. Williams, as to the manner in which he discharges his duty as collector, the Poor Law Board will be prepared to instruct their Inspector to hold an inquiry into the matter. No complaint at present being made against Mr. Williams, the Clerk was instructed to prepare the bond.

HOLYWELL. RHES Y CAE, NEAR HOLYWELL.—The anniversary of the Independent Dissenters was held in this place on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2nd and 3rd inst. At six o'clock on Tuesday evening, sermons were delivered in the Chapel by I\{essrs. J. Jenkins, of Holywell, and B. Parry, of Llandudno. On Wednesday morning, at ten, Messrs. J.

LLANDUDNO. THE VISTTORS.-The town is crowded with strangers from all parts. There is still room for more, as indi- cates the few cards in the windows, even on the beach. Present prospects promise a very successful season. Notwithstanding the great number of additional houses built this year, the place is, comparatively, as full at the present date, as in former yeans. The fine weather af- fords the visitors the gratification of pleasant bathing, and the machines seem in full play all along the shore from Glanymor Terrace to Mostyn Crescent. The scene on a fine evening, on the explanade, is very lively, as all thoroughfares are crowded in all parte. THE COMET.-The visitors find the summit of the Orme's Head a most advantageous position for viewing this splendid wanderer of the heavens. On Sunday evening last it ushered out to view with majestic gran- deur, and the sky was pretty clear, although a little haze counteracted the brilliancy of the sight. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings it was visible only at inter. vals, between the clouds that over cast the sky. Sketch books and black lead pencils Were observed to be in ac- tive work by amateur artists on all the hills during the time the opening clouds permitted a glance of the inter- esting object. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, Mr. James Davies, brother-in-law to Mr. J. Ellis, Chemist, Church Walks, who was taking charge of the business during Mr. Ellis's absence, had retired to his bed-room for rest, not feeling quite well. Being soon after called upon to attend business but not answering to the call, it was soon suspected that he might have been unwell or that something unusual had befell him. On entering the room, he was found lying on bed in the position of repose, but it was soon found that life was extinct. He had made but little complaint of illness. An inquest of course was held, and the usual verdict in such cases pronounced. FUNERALS.—In connection with the above circum- stance, we are led to make the following suggestion. As the only burying place at the present time belonging to the neighbourhood, is the ground adjacent to the old parish church of St. Tudno, we cannot withhold pro- posing to the consideration of the authorities of the town the propriety of providing a suitable Hearse for the ser- vice of the parish. The steep hill to be ascended, and the circuitous roads over which a corpse must be con- veyed, requires that a light but strong and substantially constructed vehicle should be procured. Should the attention of the public be properly called to the matter, no doubt the proverbial liberality of the place would soon respond, and this long neglected deficiency in the ar- rangement of the locality would not be left without the needed means for its supply. LEVIATHAN EXCURSION TRAINS.—A great number of excursionists are expected to visit this place, according to announcement on Saturday, from Huddersfield,- and other towns on the same line. It is one of the peculiari- ties of this place that it can afford ample room, on the Great Orme's Head, close to the town, in dents and nooks, for the accommodation of hundreds of such par- ties, without the one annoying the other, and without the whole number together, becoming, in any way offen- sive to the visitors, as long as the parties conduct them- selves with becoming decorum. There is from eight hundred to a thousand acres of the most picturesque ground open, with no spring guns or steel traps" to frighten the well-disposed wanderer on the ground. This is a quality with which it would be difficult to meet, to such extent, elsewhere.

PWLLHELI. BAPTIST CHAPEL.—1This chapel with its beautiful little spire is drawing fast towards completion, and will consti- tute quite an ornament to the town, and the spire (100 feet in height) can be seen to a great distance to sea- ward. The spire is capped with a stone globe, and during the week several adventurous townsmen have signalized their hardihood by standing on the top of it on one foot-amongst them being Mr. Evan Jones, Bran- dy Bach, who is 67 years of age. Of course this feat was performed with the assistance of the scaffolding. PWLLHELI BEACH.—Our correspondent writes on this subject as follows:—I believe there is not a finer beach than that at Pwllhelito be found in any part of Wales, and the water is as clear as crystal, with a smooth, even bottom. You cannot imagine a nicer place to bathe in, and a good many ladies and gentlemen are daily taking advantage of it to disport themselves in the" briny flood." There is, however, one serious drawback in the matter, and especially as far as the ladies are concerned -there is not a single bathing machine, nor a hut, nor a shelter of any kind for the convenience of the public. Bathing machines are not very expensive articles, and it is a great pity that the Corporation or some two or three spirited individuals do not take the matter up, and pro- vide machines for the accommodation of the public. I feel certain the" spec" would be a profitable one, and that it would pay well. What if the Corporation were to come forward and provide bathing machines, pending the settlement of the vexed question between them and Mr. Potts. I am sure that by so doing they would be conferring a boon upon the inhabitants, and would ensure to themselves the smiles and gratitude of all the ladies in the town and neighbourhood. Will they do so ?

PENTRAETH. On the evening of the 3rd inst., the singers of Pen- traeth andLlanbedrgoch choirs were regaled with a sump- tuous repast, at Fron goch, by the Rev. James Hughes and his worthy lady. The spread was of an exquisite description. Ample justice being done to the victuals set before them, the singers took a ramble about the grounds. They afterwards assembled and the harmo- nious Old Hundredth" was conjointly sung by the two choirs. The rev. gentleman delivered a telling address. He said that he and Mrs. Hughes were very much pleased to see them at Fron goch; and he begged to thank them for accepting their invitation. He stated that singing had formed a prominent part of public wor- ship since very remote ages further remarking that the first song we read of in the Bible was that which Moses composed after the overwhelming of Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea. He referred to the allusions we have in Sacred Writ to religious melody. He concluded by quoting St. Paul's admonition-" Speaking to your- selves in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs," &c. The choirs sang various. beautiful pieces in rotation. The Pentraeth choir sang several admirable chants, under the management of Mr. John Williams, gardener, and Mr. Henry Parry, schoolmaster. At the conclusion, Mr. Llewelyn Jones, schoolmaster, Llanbedrgoch, stood up, and said that his object in doing so was to return their sincere acknowledgments to Mr. and Mrs. Hughes for inviting them there, and for the excellent entertain- ment which they had had. After some cursory obser- vations in reference to the antiquity of music, he re- marked that Wales had been famous for its music and poetry since very remote ages; and he concluded by wishing success to such like meetings as theirs, and suc- cess to singing in the Principality, which, he observed, was at present very flourishing. The meeting passed off with the greatest harmony, and everybody seemed highly pleased with the proceedings of the evening. The National Anthem crowned the proceedings of the evening.

AN UNCIVIL INNKEEPER. To the- Editor of the North Wala Chronicle. Sir,—May I beg, that, in justice to myself and other- tourists through your beautiful scenery of North Walee,, voti will kindly, through the medium of your widely- circulated journal, state the following facts which oc- curred to me this day. I started with a friend for the purpose of enjoying a day's angling in the" Ogwen River," and being overtaken by heavy rain at the bridge, which crosses the river (three miles from this place,) we took shelter in the way side inn, called the Half-way House," at 12 o'clock at noon, and although my friend and self, not requiring any thing in the shape of stimulants at that hour, we did call for some, i. e., a glass of porter, and a glass of whiskey, hoping that ere long the day would favour us In the same room we found two other gentlemen, on their road to view the" Bethesda Quarries," but like oursel ves, were prisoners by the inclemency of the wea- ther. They called for lunch in the shape of anything the house afforded, which was unceremoniously refused, the parties of the house saying that they would not sup- ply eatables. Three others in an adjoining room on a similar excursion to ourselves, were refused in a like manner, and at once left. But not to occupy any more space in your columns, I come to the climax. At half- past one, p.m., (an hour and a half from the time we en- tercd the room), the landlord most unceremoniously and impertinently entered the room in which we were sit- ting, and told us, in not very polite language, that we must leave the house, as he paid license for selling drink, and we were calling for none, and unless we made our exit at once, we were open to a penalty of some £2 odd. Now, Mr. Editor, may I ask, in ignorance of the customs of North Wales, whether such conduct will be sanctioned by the intelligent and independent of Bangor and its vicinity. I enclose my card. I remain, Sir, yours obediently, AN OLD AND KEEN SPORTSMAN.

LLANDUDNO. METEOROLOGICAL REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, 1801. To the Editor of the Nortlt Wales Chronicle. The mean temperature of the month was 58 V Highest day temperature, on 14th 70°8 Lowest night temperature, on 2nd. 48°7 Range of temperature in the mouth 22°1 Meau daily range of temperature 8°8 Mean temperature of evaporrition 5513 Mean dew point temperature 52°0 Mean degree of humidity (saturation, 100°). 78°3 Highest reading of the Barometer on the 20th, 30.34 in. Lowest reading, on 25th. 29.61 in. Monthly range of Barometer 00.730 in. Quantity of rain in the month 2.4 in. Rain fell during the day time on 9 clays; ana there was more or less sunshine on 28 days. Wind with a Westerly or Southerly point pre- vailed on 18 days, and with a Northerly or Easterly point for the remainder of the month. Though a greater amount of cloud and rain obtained in this than in the preceding month, the weather was not only eminently favourable to vegetation, but like- wise most healthful and agreeable to the sensations. The month began with a mean temperature of about 54°, which gradually increased till the 15th, when it reached 65°—the culminating point-froin thence there was a gradual declination, and the month ended with a temperature only 3° higher than it begun. The mean temperature of the entire month was 58°9, being 6°9 higher than that of May, and 4°5 higher than that of the corresponding month of last year. The range of temperature, diurnal as well as monthly, was very moderate; the former being 8°8, the latter being 22'1 and as this equability of temperature continues through- out the whole year, especially in the autumn and winter, it constitutes one of the most characteristic features of our climate, and therefore one of the most important considerations to the invalid; for, undoubtedly, of aU the external agencies which influence the life and health -s t particularly the of man, that of weather is the greatest, particularly the temperature and humidity of the air, and their various fluctuations. The amount of rain, it will be observed, was somewhat in excess of the mean, yet it so quickly disappeared by absorption, &c., that the quantity was not more than was necessary to keep the atmosphere fresh and cool, and the dust in abeyance. The insen- sible humidity of the atmosphere-which varies very little here from month to month, and is less influenced than one would suppose by the amount of rain-was only 78°3. With the exception of a few bowel affections to- wards the end of the month, the health of the commu- nity never was better. In regard to this class of ail- ments, it is an interesting fact-clearly established by statistics-that in this climate, while other epidemics and ordinary general diseases decrease with an increase of temperature, these bowel affections increase, and this more especially after the mean temperature attains to 60° and upwards. In this country, therefore, it is not heat, but cold, that is the most prejudicial to life; an d health, and it will be found, by examining the reports ot the Registrar General, that, as a rule, the coldest months of the year are the most fatal, and the waimest the most healthy-the only exception to this rule being an increase of the various species of bowel complaint, when the mean temperature keeps at or above 60°, for a con- siderable period. In conclusion, we would apprise all who are not given to star-gazing, that a splendid comet has recently made its appearance in the northern heavens, and may be seen for some hours after 11 o'clock, but most advan- tageously betwcen midnight and one a.m. It was well seen at the above hour this morning, about 15° above the horizon, and almost due north. It has a broad and extended tail, and the nucleus seems quite as large as the memorable comet of 1858, though not so brilliant, nor its outlines so well defined. In past ages epch a phenomenon was wont to be viewed with great reverence and awe, and was sup- posed to prognosticate war and pestilence, &c. In these more enlightened times we do not, of course, entertain such superstitious notions, or believe, like our fore- fathers, that comets disturb the moral atmosphere of the world, but we incline to the opinion, pretty generally credited, that they disturb more or less, the physical atmosphere of our globe, and in this way exert a certain amount of influence upon the weather.

tion and shield of popular right, not only of Italy, but of all Europe." Poor Signor F ARlJOI,-we fear he has been operated upon in some peculiar way, by the French EMPEROR to induce him to hold and express such an opinion. The discussion was continued on Monday. In the course of it, the Baron RICASOLI said, in allusion to rumours of emion-" that he did not know of a foot of Italian soil which was to be ceded; that he should not wish to cede it, and absolutely could not cede it." The loan bill, after the Baron's speech, was passed by 242 to 14. On that day a petition was presented, signed by several thousand persons, calling for the recall of MAZZINI. The Chamber refused to take it into consideration. The rumour at Turin, on Saturday was, that the Government had discovered a plot to awssinate GARIBALDI. They had communicated the information to the chief, and in- formed him that the entrance to Caprera would be watched. Later accounts, speak of an extensive con. spiracy; whilst some atithoritiesve of opinion that it will turn out to be a mere invention. The new Sultan, ABDUL AZIZ, on his accession to the throne, published a hatt,"—as the decrees of his bn. perial Highness are called,—in which he declares that he will follow the foreign policy of the Government, as indicated by the last measures of his brother. He also announces his intention to introduce great domestic re- forms in favour of his subjects, whether Musselmen, Christians, or Jews; and to carry out a system of eco- nomy in the financial department. This is a better beginning than was expected from ABDUL AIIZ, who was thought to resemble his father in character and vigour of will; but to be reactionary in politics, instead of a reformer.-A telegram from Constantinople, dated Sunday, says, tlmtNAMIK PACRA is appointed Minister of War, in the room of RIZA PACHA, "disgraced;" and that 500 palace servants have been dismissed. Other "reforms" were expected. The Sultan had received the Ambassadors in solemn audience. The intelligence this week, from America, is not very important. There had been some more fighting, both to the advantage and disadvantage of the Federals. One action took place on the 17th of June, at Boonville, Missouri, between the troops of that State and a corps of Federals. The former were defeated, with the loss of 300 killed. The Governor of Missouri, a secessionist, is reported to have fled; and the commander of the Federal troops issued a proclamation, declaring his in. tention to put down the rebellion of the State authori- ties.-As a set-off against this success, we learn that Gen. SCIIENR, advancing upon Vienna, in Virginia, with the Federal forces, had been beaten by the Secessionists, and obliged to fall back. His loss was not great.- There appears, notwithstanding all we have heard, to be a superiority of strength on the part of the Secession- ists. The Nev York Herald estimates the number of Federal troops at the seat of war as 97,000, and the Confederate troops at 140,000. The editor urges an increase of the former.
