TO THE M \(;ISTI;.vr::s OF THE corxxiES OF ANGLESEY AND CARNARVONSHIRE. Mv I/>rd* awl gentleman,—I beg most rexpocttully to ci'l vour attention to the grievance occasioned by the in- equalities of the present valuation of parishes to the jviunty rates in the above ojuntiosto a numerousctes of l'atel"Y"I' The .'UIl paUl, thc Ihn.1' and Heaumarb Filion in ),iee and cou))ty rah, lor the la<t three year? averted The declared value of property on which the ahove stun it levied i. in nUllù numbers, 187628. Th?'rc t:)c?'Ii?< and comity rates come to J!d. pee pumd per annum, on the rateable property of the union, Tho eomunn charges in thè said Uubn amounted for the I:i-t L,dv-,l v t,, t6l(.) 1. 'rl?i, .,n will for the future be )e\'Icdua the .?ver?j'?nshescoinpnsMt in the Union, according to their decla"sd valuation to the countv rate. These common charges then amounted la 4 year to Is. 5d. ill the pound on the declared valuation pf property. Taking into consideration that many items for the future are to be included in the common charges, such as the maintenance of lunatics, and the three year. irremovable poor, &c., which were not included in tiie same last year, it is more than likely that they will amount ti 'i. in to Is. Gd. in the pound on the declared value of property, li is very likelv also that the coauty and police rate, es- ivaally ill Carnarvonshire, will amount, for some years to come, to t)d. in the pound. Therefore, 1 may safely that the coram >n charges of a union and the police ;,ud county rates will he a charge of 2s. in the pound oil the present declared value of property in yonr respective it' i, in proportion to other parishes than its real value, it wili have to pay £ 100 annually, less than its just share cowards the comi«on charges and the policc and county rates. if any one would take the trouble to compare the de- clared value of Llandudno (fil-JOO) with its present real value, he would find that this parish alone is undervalued b' v the grand sum ui £ 50illl The same may be said of the parish of Bangor, in con- ijetluence of which this ltlriilh alone pays less than its and tiie police and county rates, while other pairshes that are differently valued pay more than they ought by the said sum. Anglesey has been more rwntly va.ue l than Car- narvonshire, I cannot count the inequality of parishes there by the thousands but it could be easily done by scores if not by hundreds. I know of one parish that evntemplates appealing against its valuation. There is another parish, Llaufaes, a part of it is iu the borough oi Beaumaris, another part ii not, but this part i, iot rated to the county rate as it ought to be. Without instancing more cases it seems clear to nie that a new valuation ought to be made for these counties without any further delay. May I humbly beg your worship to redress these grievances that press so hard on poor ratepayers. I am. &c., your humble Servant, JOUX MORGAN. L':t.,Inaiit, J_Iy_ 14, 1.S,?2. JùilX lOltG.5.

T'IE IIEA. f, illr Editor of the North Wale* Chronicle. t. you iu reference to thø Mummy Pea h,, roused into active life the latent scepticism of one of your correspon- dents, who signs himself, prefixed with numerous initials, Society." I am rather partial to society in general, a-irl I trust this pirticular example will turn out to be a good one. The fact that one individual can forui himself into a Society is about as extraordinary as anything which I or any other man can write or say about a pea Society doubts everything which I wrote on the subject, and virtually insists there must be deception or downright untruths somewhere. ill he have tile good- ness to read over the paragraph again, and note what there iistatod therein I said that i)r. Jones Williams, of Pwllheli, was in Oporto in the year 1854; that he was present an1!lug-st others at the unrolling of a mummy that iu his presence a quantity of pe:18 were found in the stomach that he secured about 12 of them, and packed them lip and J:¡belic3 them on the spot. The little 1"1" ee! was pi iced amongst other ai tides belonging to Dr. Williams, and whe1 he returned to England (tvliich I believe was at the end o< last year, as lie was a resident in Oporto for some year.-) he 11,l!>ted them in his garden ai. Geliiwig, Heal" Pwllheli. Now, uule;, I write with. aiti?-i' v, or if Dr, William" b%?; not wilfully misled me, which I tI, no one who know ? him will think him capable of doing inl' moment, whare can be the el"!icient "link in the chain ot evidence "poken of by this "Society" correspondent uf your si I know the facts in themselves are indeed astonishing and extra-or- dinary but then was not that the preche reason why I toJk the trouble to point them out to the public. With what Nlr. Grimstone may have said or done I have no- thing to do, nor with other charlatan or humbug of the li irnum type; but the facts in this case are as I have stated them-that, Sir, you may depend upon, and it is with facts that the public have to do and not with seep. tical assertions as to what might hare occurred. Peas which were found in the stomach of a mummy opened in Oporto in 1351 are now growing in a gentleman's garden near Pwllheli, and however strong the scepticism ,,1: "Snciety" may lie ho cannot disprove that fact. My personal conclusion drawn from it, of course, is q u'te a different matter, and everyone has a right to j lldgo for himself. I admit lilY error as regards the uniform colour of pea blossoms, awl also thank your correspondent for the cor- rection.

THE STREETS OF BANGOR. To the hdi.'or of the .Xorth, IIVcs Chronicle. I I I ? .1' Sir,I am sorry that 1 snouiu u.»e S'-«« "V "«»«> Mr. Hardie, the trouble to write so long a letterin rep.y to the charge 1 Imde as to the dirty state ol: Bangor streets. He must excuse me for that hofcto lirought iuto th. fid(I arguments ot unnecessary calioie. lfl had urged the pulling down of the houses on one side of tho i.uin artery of the town (wuicj mint time be done) the thoroughfare, there would have been reason in his logic; but to bring such all enormous battery to bear upon the si nail question of keeping the side causeways in a state of proper repair and cleanliness, must, I think, have been considered by your readers out of place, and altogether unnee ssary. Surely the town of Bangor is not so poor, or in such a state of pauperism as to be unable to employ a few it, in (it might be those who depend wholly, or in part, upon the Poor Laws for their support) to break and bring into a fit form some small portion of the splendid stone which stand. so nobly about the town, to repair the old alld worn out side pavements, and one or twice 1\ week to sweep them, and keep them Iean. The ques tion requires no argument, and I will not insult vhc town of Hangur by saying mure oil a subject which is only to) self-evident.

BANG OR FRIARS SCHOOL. To the Editor of the Xorth ll'd'Vs Chronicle. Sir,—1 have waited with some amount of curiosity for the last two weeks to see whether any answer would be vouchsafed by the Trustees or their friends to tile que- ries which I, in a friendly spirit, propounded ill the Chronicle but as yet there has been no corresponding echo. Am 1, and the public, then, to conclude that the amended regulations are simolv and virtually indefensi- ble, and that the Trustees feel that any rational defence of the new scheme is impossible ? If such be the fact, wlnt opinion can any Christian and honest man enter- tain towards them, and the precious scheme itself ? I am not iu the habit of employing strong terms when writing or speaking oi any person; but if this new fchenw be not a <1ireût p¡)liati\J1l of the rights of the Poor, I do not know what woald properly auiou.it to "spoliation." We are told ill the Sacred Writings to defend and protect the rights of the Poor-of the widow and the fatherless, and not to take them away and heavy punishments are denounced against all those who ki-o tu look upon the Bible as a dead letter, or is there a class of Christians privi- leg'ed to practically ignore its teachings ? for it really d*.es seem as if the Trustees and others who are con- nected with this Charity held some such an opinion. The ca38 is a plah as fad awl words can Inake it. Years a"o, a benevolent gentleman left an estate to found a "charity Suh,y¡I in Bang >r,an<2 H11Jd 111uniiicentl,y it. He e^j-'iued in his last wid aud testa- ment" that ten p ><•>■ chii litn should be lodged, fed, and clothed, and taught, amongst father things, the i-iicli- ments of Latin and Greek." To make the meaning of the term" ptwr," as applie-l by him, impomOle to be misunderstood, or jeouiicaily interpreted, he gives strict and definite order. that in ca :e there should be an ex- cess of applications for admittance to the School, that the children of the very poorest should, in all cases, Ileieeiiii to llilve hcen M shrewd upon attempts being made to divert the Charity from the poor;and in spite of the careful wording of the do. cument, and in the face of right. and jiutice, such an attempt has been made, and what is worse still, it has hitherto been successiul. I care not by what s ophistry Mr. Totton, or any one else, defends this scheme, for lie, at all events, is an ill- terested party by his very position as -Master; for I maintain that no man, nor any body vf men, not even the Imperial Legislature, possess the legal or moral right to divert a benevolent donor's will from \viiat it was originally intended. No chicanery, no special plead- ing, no considerations of what is plausibly said to be "expediency," can justify a robbery of the Poor, and cheating thorn of their leg;d and just rights. Weil may the Trustees shirk from the task of defending a scheme which is not only not in acc irdar.ee with the spirit of the Charity, but abrogates and renders null and void the very word. and plain llIéauing of the docuwcut npou which the Charity is based. It's oh 1 to be a slave, Along with the barbarous Turk, Where woman ba. never a soul to Ben-e, If this be Christian work. But I cannot bring myself to conclude that the Trus- tees are only to bl nne in this monstrous act of Charity spallation. The inhabitants of Bangor and the viciuitv must really bear a part of it. Why do not they take a active part iu seeing C iu,?n justice done to the poor of tl?ir o%l.ll city ?-"I,et the the sioners, if neeù be, face to face, and denounce the scheme and their conduct in language at once firm and indig- nant, It is their duty to do so, and if they neglect the Poor in this matter, they surely cannot be doing their duty. Shame will do a great deal sometimes. There are towns in England where this shameful misappropriation of cbaritable funds would not be permitted for a week and where the parties concerned would be met with a crr of execration ",hieh would make their hearts quake and their very ears tinglc again. I can understand the prudent reticence of the Trustees what is past compre- hension is the supineness uf the inllahitants uf Bangor in this very ihioorLntt matter. I am, &c. July 16th, ISô2.

THE FORTIFICATIONS DEBATE. To the Editor of the Xorth Trales Chronicle. Sir,Permit me to correct a wrong impression which yon have taken respecting the effect of the debate on the above subject in the House of Commons. ?-?,;PeLt to the 1),.?,g, of arms between Lonl Palmerston and Mr. Cobden, that the Mouse was evidently with the Premier; and the lion, member for ltochdale must have returned home mortified and de- based." Now, I happencll to be in London that week, and availed myself of the privilege of attending the House on each night of that encounter. That Lord Pal- merston is a bfllliant speaker, with a rich veiu oi hu- mour and sarc, at his command, and that at all times he can get a cheer, not so much from what he says as from the method of telling, is an accomplishment which half a century oi experience cannot fail to have given him. Of all the encounters that he ever had, it is doubt- ful whether any one ha, been half so damaging as this with the hovi. member ior Rochdale. When, on Thurs- day night. Mr. Cobden lose to address the House, the cheersWhich la-tel for "everal minutes rang through the House, aud during the whole of his telling speech, when one thunderbolt was hurled after another, there was a güueraI t¡um throughout tiie Hou?. But when he added o,,otet-i-ible iit the other.auduIdnMteiy roved, beyond the possibility of a donbt, from the Pre- miers own speeches, his inexactness with regard to the cause of the Cbinese war," the cheering wad boisterous almost ill every part of the House, and the immediate followers of Lard Palmerston had not the courage nor the power to give a coltuter cheer, as is always the case when the sympathy of the House ii equally divided. On the otl.er halld, there were some passages ill the 3reece; of the Premier thü were scarcely tolerated. In that part where he said that" the lion, member is in a state of blindness auJ ,lelusiùu;" mhl wheu he was under- stood to sneer at the commercial treaty with Franœ, the highest amount of disapprobation consistent with the usage of the House was manifested. It is equally cor- nct to say, that in some p:.rtions of his speeches he was received well, and elIcit "I hearty cheers; but they were exactly those portions which did not touch the question of inexactness." The moral eiiect of that famous en- counter wa' most damaging to the Premier, ami c)?n- iug -o near the general election, some of his Ba'ing will be remembered alpinst him. 10U tt:o also a little incorrect in stating that Sir John Pakington corrected several errors in the hon. member's speech. Mr. Cobden carried his comparison of the re- lative strength oi the navies of Enghml an.l Fmnce to 1353—the last year to which officially audited and puu. lished accounts were available. What Sir J. Pakington said was, that the lull, member did not say what had been done 'ince then, and declared without adducing any proof tlut the shtelUènt of the Premicr was cr. rect. There is, however, :\1 this a manifest want of sin- cerity on the part of Sir J. Pakington. What possible i'¡dllet:c c0uld the proceedings vi France in 1860-1 ana '82 have on the decision which was taken by the House in I 18.19 The same unfounded cry of invasion, and inferiority ia naval poorer, was made the pretext of that gigantic system <.«' fortification t-> which the House was fright- ened iuto in the tally part of 18C0. It is now half abandoned most reckless advocates of that national monstrocity. Froui your blind admiration of the arguments of the PrcluierJ you seem with hhü desirous of leaving the iill- pression that a comparison betw-een the naval btrength of the two Powers is impossible. Mr. Cobden compared the number of men in the dockyards—the expenditure in the same—the number of seamen iu eachtb.1J num- ber and tonnage of ships,—and s'.iewed beyond all dis- pute that the preponderance was relatively greater in favour of this country now than at any time in the pre- vious history of Fiance. Those are not opinions but facts, aud r. > one can lessen the force of them by auy system of distorted logic. In ta!rn? to great man, aud still greater principles, I trtMtmy'm"L'?'-?

HOLYHEAD UNION.—PARISH LAND. To the Editor of the Xorth Wales Chronicle. Sir, —Those who pcrufe your paper will no doubt re- collect that at a Ytstry held at this place on the 10th day of April last, a resolution, of which the following is a copy, was uuanimously adopted by the ratepayers then present:— That the Board of G uavdiaus be requested to lay the circumstances of the ground .whereon the railway station is built hefore the Poor L, Board, and to report to a future Vestry the result of their communication with the said Poor Law Board." And that at a meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Holyhead Union, held on the Boird of GuarL the 15th dayof April, the following resolution was agreed upon That the Poor Law Board be requested t,) cause the necessary inquiries to be made into the claim of the parish-officers of Holyhead to a certain plot of "round upon which the railway stathn is built in that ?u'id), with a view to recover the rent thereof for the use of the said parish." For the information of the public, the ratepayers in the parish, and others directly concerned in the question at issue, I beg to submit copies of the correspondence, to enable the ratepayers and others to form an opinion as to the ulterior measures to be adopted at a Vestry to be called to receive the report, in accordance with the resolution adverted to. 181,2. My Lords and Gentlcmen,-I am directed by the Board of Guardians of this Union to forward to your honourable Board a copy of a resolution passed by them at their last meeting in reterence to a plot or gromr^ supposed to belong to the parish of Holyhead, for no rent is paid by the Railway Company as tenants. I also beg to transmit the "tatement "uumitted to the Guardians by the mover of the resolution, explanatory of the circumstances under which the ground iu ques- tion is held, for the guidance of the Board. I have the honour to be, "My Lords and Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, THOMAS WILLIAMS. To the Poor Law Board, 11 Whitoliall, London." "No. 12203-ISC,2.

Nfv Lords and Gentlemen,—In answer to your lio- nourable Board's letter of the 9th instant, No. 12203— lSti2, respecting the plot of ground alleged to belong to Holyhead parish, upon which the Railway Station at Holyhead is built, 1 am directed by the Guardians to state that the property is distinct from that sold to the Company in 1854, aud was not comprised in that pnr. chase but I am to observe that portions of the spot now in question were used by the occupiers of the Puor. houses then existing and those sold, as an easement to lav their manure ipon; and a portion was also used as a rope-walk by one of the tenants of the Poor-houses, with the sanction of the parishioners, free of rent.

It appears that Mr. W. 0. Stanley has granted a lease of some land to the Railway Company, for a Sta- tion, and if the Churchwardens and Overseers consider that he was not entitled to grant the lease on the sup- position that the land belonged to the parish, they should address a communication to him, requesting an explana- tion of the transaction. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, C. GILPIN, Secretary. Thomas Williams, Esq., Clerk to the Guardians of the Holyhead Union, Holyhead." Having thus stated the result of the communication of the Board of Guardian. to the Poor Law Board, I leave the matter for the Lmiderntion of the ratepayers of the parish, till a future Vestry to be convened, to de- cide what measures ought to be adopted, (if any be re. quired in addition to that recommended by the Poor Law Board,) at the same time feeling convinced that its recovery by the parishioners, through the Churchwar- dens and Overseers, is both feasible and obligatory.

A MARKET FOR PORTMADOC." To the Editor of the Xorth Wales Chronicle. | Sir,—I find that this subject has been a good aeai am- madverted upon recently by your local correspondent, but hitherto without the desired effect. Either the pub- lie of the Port do not really desire a market, or they are sadly deficient in the pluck or the knowledge how to set vigouronsly about getting one. In my opinion the Local Board is the proper authority to move in this matter, !tndthe(tuc.stionM—witlth.-y?andifnot,whynot? Here is a prosperous town of about 2000 inhabitants, the great majority of whom are tradesmen, mechanics, and well paid labourers; and there is also a Local Board of RCIIth;¡,g a responsible governing body. Call any of your readers point out another town in Wales or else- where similarly cireum-stauced, in which there is not a weekly market ? If they can, would they oblige us with its nallle and whereabouts. Youis truly, July 14, 1862. GO-A-HEAD.

The late Lord Powis had been the chief in- strument in establishing the Welsh Church in London, and the present Earl nobly followed his example by still patronising it. Such u mark of the kindly feeling of his countivmen and countrywomen must 1). very gratifying to Mr. Evans.

I I () lected ill the town, having no doubt received their in- structions from some over officious partizau. (We caii- not suppose that any irceuom-oi-eiecoion uicii.uc. legislature, could have been the mainspring of this. The result, however, was, that after a few votes had been polled, the polling booth waR surrounded by these bulldogs, and not a man was allowed to approach the place without giving his assurance that he WtB going to vote for Tracy. This system of intimidation was carried on throughout the whole day, insomuch that Mr. Wynn polled only 12 votes there, although there were 178 voters within a few yards of the spot i-eadj- to poll for Wynn, but dare not show their noses outside the house, besides others who, after vainly attempting to reach the booth, and thinking discretion the better part of valour, re- treated without recording their votes. The scene is thus described by an impartial an early hour 01 the day, an infuriated, though organised mob, surrounded'the polling-booth, and, with the excep- tion of a dozen who happened to be first at the p )il, not one of )11'. Wynn's supporters were allowd to go near the pollin-buoth ail day. As the day ad vanced, the mob became larger and more excited by drink; and sueha scene as tho streets presented in the aftjrnoon and even- in", I hope never again to witness. Had I not been there, I could li ji have believed that so many people iu this countrl" y could have been found to present the ap- pearance I should have th mght peculiar to drunken savag"js. Gentlemen known to have been supporters of Mr. Wynn, were pelted with miul—had stone, thmwn at iled by hideous yells and of- fensive cpithets-alld, if it happened to be an old gentle- man whom they met, afraid to approach, he was rolled in the mud, awl according to the nature of his assail- ant;, kicked when he was down." At four o'clock Col. Hunter read the Riot Act, and warned the crowd against remaining in the streets; but they were only the more infuriated and abusive. People ho knew the arrant cowardice of these creatures de- :;)tlI\I ;lf.:d:c;e'o:C w;a';(l ei I am told, have been to frighten twice as many hundreds into their wretched hovels; but they were not at hand. At half-past four the most courageous of Mr. Wvli I'S friends made a last effort to get to the poll, but were repulsed with more violence than ever; allà we regret to hear that one gell tleman was rather seriously injured by some dastardly creature, who threw a stone iuto his face. At this time about 120 voters were wait- ing to poll for Mr. Wynn, but as the mob became more riotous every moment, lwmy of them left the town. It is impussible todescribe the felt by these respec- table gentlemen—mmy of whom had travelled loug dis- tances to poll-for the leaders of this swinish multitude, and especially for the returning officer, who, being a strong political partizau, refused to close the poll W11011 naked; and it was not until the very greatest pressure had. been put upon him that Mr. Wiiailey (who rode backwards and forwards amongst his most respectable ï"iiower8) consented to take to the booth a protest against the poll being kept open. Whether (after giving his word and honour) he forgot to take it, or whether the returning oificer refused to act upon it we do not know. The poll, however, was kept open under such circumstances as never was poll continued before. Several telegrams were to the head quarters at Welshpool, stating that such lawless proceedings were going oil, and it was thought necessary to telegraph to Shrewsbury for assistance. About forty of the Shropshire constabulary, uncler the COlllmand of Captain Crampton, chief con- stable, were therefore immediately conveyed by train to Llanidloes. The town, however, when they arrived there, was in a state of cmplete quietude, and being, in- formed by the authorities that their services were uot required they unfortunately left the place, supposing that all had subsided into peace and good order. This movement very shortly proved to be a grievous error, for the mob again sallied forth, and being uncontrolled, committed most fearful outrages, smashing windows most relentlessly and damaging property iu the town, in various ways, not ceasing from their work of havoc IUltil between one and two on Sunday morning. Thus it will be seen that, intoxicated with drink or delight, they be- came insensible to the advice of the leaders of that iiarty work they had been hired to perform, for Mr. Whalley had shortly after the close of the poll harangued them in his own felicitous style, begging of them to go peace- ably home and on no account to set about to break people's windows or to be guilty of any lawless proceed- ings whatever. At Newtown there wa3 considerable in- terruption to the polling of Mr.VVynu's voters, and some of the more timid, objecting to run the gauntlet of a set of hired ruffians, remained at last unpolled. AH. these hwle;5 clfvrt", however, were of useless effect, for the poll terminated according to the official returns in the splendid majority for iMr.Vyun of 310 1 The following were t.lH number :1.t the CLOSE OF THE POLL.

The High Sheriff read the numh8log as follows :— Wynn, 1,26;); Tracy, 9oi). Majority for Wynn, 310. Mr. William Wynn was therefore decbrccl duly mectcll amid enthusiastic cheers. Having been girt with tho sword Mr. WYNN said— For the warmth and kindness of your welcome accept my grateful and 111 >,t heaity thanks. It shews me that I was not mistaken in my anticipations, aud the result of Saturday's poll abundantly proves tlut ill resting my claims to your support on the sorviced of those whi) have gone before nig 1 did not over estimate tlieir value, 01'1011'1' my own position in your eyes (cheers.)

At one polling placie indeed, at Llanidloes, such was the intimidation and violence that my supporters were, almost to a man, were prevented from exercising tlieir franchise; but I do not lay the blame of this o?Mge somneh on the men who were engaged in it as on the aut1lOriLie, who, after due ??"? of its probability, deliberately permitted it.

The Marquis of CLANUI- CAHDK called attention to the inefficiency of the police arrangements in Ireland for the repression of crime, and urged that it was necessary for the present military sys- tem to be entirely re-organised. The noble marquis moved for returns iu reference to the question -Earl Gn ANVILLE assented to the motion, which, after a few words from Lord Donouglimore, was assented to.- The Lunacy (Scotland) Bill wa) read a third time and passed, after an ineffectual opposition raised by the Duke of MONTHOSE, which was rejected on a division by 40 to Bishop of OXFORD moved the second read- ing of the Bishops for Heathen Countries' Bill, the ob. ject of v.'hich was to offer increased facilities for the consecration of Bishops who were intended to officiate in distant parts. The LOUD CHAXCI^LOH opposed the bill Oil the ground that the law as it stood, carried out the whole provisions of the measure. After some dis- cussion, the bill was withdrawn. The Harbour Trans- fer Bill, the- Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Bill, the Smoke Nuisance (Metropolis) Act Amendment Bill, awl the Coal Mines Bill, were read isecond tiiiie- The Niival and Victualling Stores Bill,, the Highways' Bill, and the African Slave Trade Treaty Bill, were read a third tim' and passed. -Their lordships ad. joumed at half-pust eight.

The House then proceeded with the con- sideration of the clauses of the bill, which occupied the whole of the sitting. KVBNINO SITTING. The House resumed at six o'clock. I11 reply to Mr. Heygate, Mr. LAYAHD stated that negotiations were- now in progress for a commercial treaty with Belgium. .-In answer to Lcrd liurghley, Mr. LAYARDdenied the accuracy of the accounts which had been published in reference to the atrocities said to have been perpe- trated upon the Tappings, and saitt the Government had instituted inquiries into the whole matter. -In reply to Mr. Adderley, Mr. C. FOUTKSCI'K stated that a bill had been introduced into the Canadian Legislature, the object of which was to raise the militia from 50U0 to 10,000. Lord PAI.XEHSTON remarked that there was no intention of withdrawing the British troops from Canada. Oil the order of the day for going into com- mittee of supply, Sir G. GREY stated, in reply to Mr- Caird, that the Government were taking active measures for a proper collection, of agricultural statistics. Mr. FUEEI.AND called attention to the state of our relations with Austria, and to the present state of the Venetian provinces as a source of danger to the peace of Europe. The hon. member was proceeding with his speech, when the House was counted out shortly after eight. HOUSE O-F COMMONS—MONDAY. Mr. HIDBERT inquired whether the l'rejd9nt of the Poor Law Board was prepared to bring in a bill to enable Boards of Guardians to borrow money, under certain conditions, for the more effectual relief of the distressed operatives in the cotton nunufaduring districts. Mr. VILLTKHS, in reply said, that although the necessity for such an extreme step did not at present exist, it would probably be necessary to resort before long to extraordi- nary means, as the distress referred to was seriously in- creasing. The protraction of the American war, and the large inroads whieh had been made on the deposits in the savings banks, were the chief causes of the in- crease in the distress. He therefore felt justified in stating that Mr. Hibbert's suggestion might be enter- tained at some future time. He also thought that ge- neral legislation, on the subject would be necessary before the termitation of the session The House afterwards went into cowJnittee on the Fortifications Bill, which, notwithstanding some strong oppositiou, passed through that stage. Mr. FOKTI:SCL'K afterwards moved the second reading of the JamaÏC:1 Loan Settlement Bill, and explained that its object was to remit the balance of a loan of £ 2005000 due from Ja!ll:1ica, on condition that the colony annually contributed £i.i,lI1i towards the ex- panses of its Government. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed tho bill on economical grounds, and proposed that it be read a second time that, day three mouths. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill iv? read a second t i me. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. This day the Parochial Assessments Bill passed through committee. At the evening sitting, Mr. W. E.

In reply to a question, Sir R. 1'EEI. said he was aware that a great demonstration would be made in Dublin on Sunday next, 0:1 the occtt:joll of the laying of a founda- tion stone of a Catholic University. He had communi- cated with the authorities on the subject, and steps had been taken to ensure rlue respect for the law. In the course of a debate which afterwards took pl"ce on Mexi-, can affaire, the House was cauntcd out. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The new for Montgomeryshire. Mr. WYNN, took his seat ill the House. The Night Poaching Prevention Bill was read a second time, although it was strongly opposed by Sir G. Grey. On the motion of Sir J.

DENBIGII. COUNTY COURT, Saturday (adjourned from Thursday) July 12.-Before James Edward Davis, Esq., Deputy Ju(I g e. A Jti%,l Case.-Erans v. Parry.-Plaintiff in this case is an architect, and sued defendant a butcher residing at Denbigh, for £ 21 lis 6d., balance due for work done, by making plans and specifications ot a divelhng-nouse, slaughter-house and stable, and personally superintend- ing the entire work, until its completion, Mr. Loui9 ,for Mr. Adams appeared for plaiutift, aud Mr. I/HUS for dC The action had been brought on by plaintiff before the Court of Queen's Bench, where an order was issued to have it tried at the Denbigh County Court. The evidence of both parties was iu direct contranty to each other. Mr Evans ii,l -I am an architect and builder, resid- ing in Denbigh. Had a conversation with Mr. Moses Parry respecting the building of slaughter-houses and stable. An agreement was made, and the work com- menced in February, 1881. He asked me what my per cellta would be for making the plans, and aupertnt?.nd- i?,a ewor)f. Five per cent," I .aid, '? but I ill charge no extra for superintending, i prepana me plans. I also prepared the estimates. My amount was £û5. The stable aud slaughter-house were built, and I superintended the work. The work was finished in about a month or six weeks. I afterwards prepared plans for the erection of a dwelling-house. I estimated the cost at £ 48i». He said that sum was wore money than he intended to spend, and requested me to reduce toe cost. I accordingly prepared another plan, and the es. timate then was £ 355. That plan was.approved of and the building proceeded with. The work was done un- der my direction and supervision. Mr. Parry required extensions and additions. The estimate I put in for additional work was X25. He had an agreement as to the amount of my charges. If he did not build, I was to have two-and-a-half per centage. I have acted ai Sur- veyor under Government for 1(5 years. My charge has been 5 per cent. I hive been employed extensively in business. ?'M? Parry's version of the case was-I met plaintiff in February, 1801. Told him J was going to build. Ask- ert him what his charges were. He said ^5 per cent., but that he would do the work for me for X2 10s per cent,, a. he was slack at the time, and under that con- dition alone I engaged him. He said he would make the plans, prepare specifications, and everything that was necessary to complete the work, including: superin- A 12 u I.'+ ,J ha "111..t tendence, tor two-ann-a-nau pei finish the work for £ 320 in the ivity I wanted it but it has cost me from £ 500 to £ 000. Mr. Davies, King's Mills, said -.Nlr, Evacs, the plain- tilt; told me that he had been engaged by Moses Parry to erect some buildings for hiin--that he would not charge him 5 per cent, "butverymuehunder." No written agreement having been drawn out, the question to be decided by the jury was From which side was the truth elicited '-Plaintiff had sworn his charge was 5 per cent., and defendant had sworn it was 2 per cent. The evidence of Mr. Davies, as His HO:JOK observed, strongly corroborated the statement ot defendant. A set-off to an amount equal to that which was due according to 2h per cent, was pleaded by de. fendant for meat, &c., "nd that debt plaintiff did not dispute. After a long hearing, the jury found a verdict lor de- fellllant. Thos. Grififths v. John Hughes—The plaintiff in this action sned defendant (both stonemasons) for £5 9s (id. due for work done. I Ir. Louis appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Adams, for defendant. Thos. Griffiths said—In 1859 I met defendant at Den- bigh. He told me that he had some work to do at the College, Trenieirchion. Asked me to take part of the work and 1 consented. I worked there for 24 weeks, at 14s. a week. He complained the jub did not pay him. He raid me t:15 on account. He promised to pay the remainder, and has coutinnued to promise for three years. As the job failed, I offered to take X2 10s., if he would deliver that amount at once. Never threatened not to pay me. He promised to pay we if he could get another job at the College, to draw out a sfficieut sum, clear profit, to pay me. John Hughes said—My contract at St. Beuno's Col- lege was X:;2, and of that contract Griffiths had a con- tract of -CLO. I was the responsible party. I paid £ 15 to Griiffths,, and paid a large sum besides for the work he had undertaken to complete. The job cost me X 10, and I refused, paying Griffiths more than X15 unless the College authorities allowed a higher sum than spe- cified in the contract. Never promised to pay but on that condition. From the evidence of Thomas Parry, a workman in the employ of plamtrfi, it was shown how many weeks were due to plaintiff. His HONOR, in summing up, observed that the clear. est possible evidence had been adtiuced in favour of plaintiff, to whom he would give judgment for £3 V. 6d. Thomas Davies, of Llatisannan, bankrupt, passed his final examination. Mr. Meredith William* appeared on his behalf. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS, Wednesday, July 16.—Be- fore John Price, Esq." Llanrhaiadr Hall,. and Chambres, Esq., Llvsmerchion. Daniel Hughes of Henllan, labourer, was charged with having feloniously stolen, on or about the lltli of Dec., 1801. one horse back-chain and pitchfork, the property of Robert Williams, :of Gwyndv, parish of IJanefydd. The articles was found in the house of David Williams, Fach, where they had been left by the prisoner, he at the time being in the employ of David Williams, who declined to purchase them. Suspicions arose, and infor- mation was given to P.C. Enoch Williams, who after- wards apprehended the pri.3oner. The prisoner's statement was—I found the pitchfork and chain on the road between Tyn-y-ffordd aud Glas- goed, near St. Asaph, and it being dark, about five o'clock in the morning, I hid them in the hedge on the road-side wh, they remained for days before I took them to the Fach. I asked several persons if they had lost a back chain and pitchfork. Davitl Williams swore that he told him that the pitch fork was an old pitchfork belonging to his father, and that only the chain was found on the road. The prisoner was pressed to name any of the persons he had questioned respècting the loss of the articles, and he replied, rather confused,—I forget who they were. I asked a great many of the lads about Cefn, but I can. not name them, as I am a stranger in that part." He wished his case to be decided by the magistrates, and not to be committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions or Assizes. Their Werships were of opinion that the theft was clearly proved, and sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, with hard labuur.
