FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LO-IDOV, THURSDAY EVENING. I cannot yet say that the crowding into London has ceased; for "the cry is still theycoine;" and there is no appearance of the steam stopping. I fear that this influx into the metropolis will affect the lodging houses and hotel-keepers in the country watering-places some- what injuriously; but last year and the present, up to the 1st of May, were so excessively dull to the Lon- doners, that, after all, perhaps, they will get little beyond their due. I believe there never was a better season for the iun-keepers, lodging-house keepers, managers of thea- tres, and proprietors of exhibitions, in the metropolis. People come from all parts in terns of thousands, to see the International Exhibition. Many of them have no friends in London, and their evenings being unemployed, they go to the nearest or most popular places of amuse- ment: and thus the minor attractious share in the pros- perity of the great one. The most remarkable perform- ance, I may state, is at the Haymarket Theatre. Here an American actor, Mr. Sotliero, is so popular in My Lord Dundeary," in a piece called "Our English Cousin," that when his engagement at the above-named theatre terminated, some weeks ago, Mr. Buckstone agreed to give him X 300 per weck-£50 per night,—to prevent him taking a country engagement, which he calculated, upon the terms offered him, would have yielded him X8000 per annum. Buckstone, you see, gives him nearly double: but he is making Buckey's fortune as well as his own so both parties are satisfied. If you want places in the dress circles, or a private box, at the Haymarket, you must give several nights' notice. On Monday night, the "Jubilee Concert" of the Philharmonic Society, took plaee at St. James's Hall. There was a most brilliant and crowded audience, and a better entertainment, perhaps, was never given by the Society. Madame Lind-Goldschmidt had offered to sing on the occasion; Mrs. Anderson, the pianist—the teacher of the Queen and the princesses—made her last appearance in public; and there was a fine new over- ture, composed by the conductor, Professor Sterndale Bennett. The audience appeared to be highly pleased with everything; and well they might, for the perform- ance, intnunentaI and vocal, and the selection of pieces performed, were all of the highest class. The Royal Academy of Music, whose students have often performed at the concerts of the Philarmonic, dur- ing the past 30 years, is, I am sorry to see, likely to lapse, after a few years more, unless some assistance be given to it. A Memorial, signed by about 100 profes- sors of the divine art," has been sent to Mr. Glad- stone, suggesting that Government should grant a build- ing for carrying on the operations of the establishment —a support enjoyed by all the scientific and artistic bo- dies in the metropolis. The Academy has been so emi- nently useful in imparting a sound musical education to a number of students, that the public should come for- ward, and urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to grant the prayer of the memorial. Last night the Pacha of Egypt gave a splendid enter- tainment on board his yacht, lying off Woolwich. It is described as a most magnificent affair. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, Prince William of Denmark, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Earl Granville, the Earl and Countess of Russell, Lord and Lady Palmerston, the Duke and Duchess o; Sutherland, the Duchess of Hamilton, the Duchess of Wellington, the Speaker, and the Lord and Lady Mayoress, were among the guests. Everything passed off admirably.- Last night, a banquet was also given at Willis's Rooms to M. Rouher, the French Minister of Commerce, who is at present in England. Mr. Milner Gibson was in the chair; and Sir G. C. Lewis and Mr. Cobden were among the 150 guests. The speeches of the Chairman and M. Rouher were of the most satisfactory character as relates to the relations between the two countries. This evening the civic international entertainment at the Guild-hall comes off. Between 3,000 and 4,000 guests are invited, including Lord Palmerston and other of Her Majesty's Ministers. The Viceroy of Egypt and Prince Napoleon will also be among the guests. The hall has been richly decorated; the Guild-hall yard transformed into a reception and ball room; and the crypt into a wine cellar and store room. There will be a concert, ball, and a splendid supper. Letters from Cherbourg intimate that the number of troops to be sent to Mexico will be much greater than was at first supposed. Eight squadrons will be attached to Gen. Forey's corps, and the artillery will comprise 8 batteries. Admiral Jurende la Graviere is at the port actively pushing on the preparations for his departure. The Moniteur, of Tuesday, publishes intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 15th, and from Orizaba to the 11th of June. The troops then occupied the same positions as they had done when previous despatches were sent off; their health was good, and they appear to have had a month's supply of provisions at least. On the 15th, the 1\Ioselle sailed from Toulon, with provisions for several months.—The French papers contain accounts from Cochin China, a country respecting which we have heard nothing lately. The dates are to the end of May. At that time the state of the French establishment in the country was satisfactory; and there was every hope that a treaty would soon be signed with the King Tu-dur. There is no fresh intelligence from America; but as the details of the late events become known, even the Star is compelled to admit that tho Federals have aban- doned an aggressive for a defensive attitude.—Prince de Joinville, the Count de Paris, and the Duke de Chartres have left the Federal army, which they never ought to have joined. On Saturday, Prince Louis of Hesse and the Princess Alice made their entry into Darmstadt. The streets and houses were decked with the English and Hessian flags. The royal couple were received at the railway station by the chief magistrate, and proceeded, through a double line of persons, formed of the corpomtion and the pupils of the schools, to the palace of Prince Charles, where the Grand Ducal family had assembled.

-=.- BANGOR BOARD OF HEALTH. The ordinary meeting of the Board was held on Thursday last, when the following members attended Capt. Iremonger, (in the chair) Messrs. W. Pritchard, W. Thomas, M. Roberts, and J. K. Douglas. The minutes of the previous Board having been read and confirmed, The CLERK read a communication from Mr. White, the secretary and manager of the Bangor Water and Gas Company, enclosing a list of 31 small tenements, which the Board of Waterworks were under the neces- sity of cutting off the supply of water from them. It was resolved, that the Clerk be instructed to reply that the Board at present could not interfere in the matter. The SURVEYOR called attention to the state of the urinal opposite the Vaynol Arms, and was empowered to repair the same. He also called the Chairman's at- tention to the desirability of having the footpath leading to the railway station (near Mr. Morris' carriage reposi- tory) paved. To this The CHAIRMAN replied, that he had of late .become rather tired of improvements, as they seemed so little appreciated in Bangor. It had been represented to him lately, that the Board was censured by some ratepayers for saftctioning one of the greatest improve- ments that had taken place for many years in the city, which was to allow the shops now building on the old Albion Hotel site, to occupy one foot instead of all the pathway, and that they had also said the Board would not have allowed the shops to be built, had the property belonged to a leas influential person. This was a most unjust thing to say of persons who, like themselves, gave up much of their time, and put themselves to conside- rable inconvenience (for himself he would say very great inconvenience) for the benefit of the public, and who had always acted with the greatest impartiality. In this matter, the Board had acted entirely for the benefit of the public. The case was simply thisCol. Pennant's house was covering the whole footpath; he proposed in the most liberal manner to make a smaller house than the old one, in order that it might only take one foot of the pavement instead of all, and thereby giving 5 ft. of footway for the public benefit; the Board, of course, wil- lingly closed with so liberal an offer; and had they not done so, the old house must have remained, and the public been deprived of the pavement. He (the Chair- man) thought that if this latter course had been pursued by the Board, the Bangor ratepayers might justly have found fault with them but as it is, it seemed to him the most absurd grounds of complaint possible, and the remark M unjust. If the patepayers thought that Col. Pennant's liberality was after all of no benefit, and that the Board have acted in an unjustifiable manner, it only remained for them to say so, when the land might be en- closed, and the public left again without a pavement. Several cheques having been signed, the business of the Board terminated.

RAILWAY BILL.—The Lords' Committee have passed the London and North-Western Railway Bill, for addi- tional powers, with the exception of that part of the Bill which relates to the making an embankment along and otherwise improving the old harbour of Holyhead, and concerning which the promoters propose to appeal to the Lords of the Admiralty. ENGLISH WESLEYAN CHAPEL, BANGOR.—A tea meet. ing, attended by the friends aud supporters of the Eng- lish cause, in connection with the above denomination, was held on Tuesday last, in St. Paul's school, Bangor, the proceeds to be applied to the augmentation of the trust fund. Tea being over, the company were ably addressed by the Chairman (Mr. E. Evans, Erw ¡ Fair) the Rev. Mr. Lord, Huddersfteld, Rev. E. Crump, and the Hev. J, H, Evans, Bangor, THE LATE DRAW Oil BAN. Dean Cotton," says a writer in the National Society's Monthly Paper, has gone to his rent. Those who knew him, and how much interest he took in everything relating to the Church, and especially to Wales, will miss him, and mourn for him many a day." Never were truer words penned; the whole of his long and useful life was marked by "patient continuance in well-doing;" and such was his kind and courteous bearing that no one ever experienced from that noble-hearted man an unkind action, or an unkind word; all that he did or said proceeded out of the abundance of a heart full of love to God and man--ever planning and carrying into effect some benevolent and useful scheme. He was, at all times, ready to listen to and act upon the Suggestion of others, whenever such suggestions appear- ed to be an improvement upon the original plan; and, whether acted upon or not, they were sure to be received in a kindly spirit. He never sought to lay a burden upon others of which he was unwilling to bear his por- tion. Se keen was his sense of justice that, when a con- siderable defalcation had occurred in a savings bank in which he had recommended the cottagers to deposit their little saving, he not only exerted himself among his more opulent neighbours to mise a sum, if possible, suf- ficient to meet the emergency, but gave several hundreds out of his own pocket, almost impoverishing himself rathar than the poor people should suffer who had acted upon his advice; in fact, by fav the largest contribution came from the Dean's own purse. Truly may it be said of him that he was ever endeavouring to do his Master's work, and in his Master's spirit.

BEAUMARIS. BEAUMARIS.—The Volunteers have, during the past week, been busy in throwing up an earthwork battery for their two guns, on the Point. A very large quantity of material, and a vast amount of willing and vigorous labour has already been expended on the work, which another evening or two will probably see completed. The diiiieiisions-7 feet high, 12 do. thick, and about 6() do. long-give some idea of the work, and of the energy of the corps who, at their own expense, and by their own labour, are constructing it. A good deal of the material, including the sods used for facing the work, has to be carted sume di.<tanee, from the new cemetery now in course of preparation for the parish.

DENBIGH. RETORATTON OF NANTOLYN CHURCH-This pretty little clauch has been restored at an expense of 1:450. li e architectural work was designed by Messrs. Williams and Underwood, the builder being Mr. Thos. Hughes, Denbigh. It was onened for Divine Service on Thursday afternoon last. Although the weather was showery, there was a large concourse of attendants, amongst whom were The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, the Dean of St. Asaph, Rev. Canon Davies, Rev. 3ir, Brown. Rev. Mr. James, Presta- tyn Rev. E. L. Davies, Newmarket Rev. Mr. Williams, antl Rev. Mr. Lewis, Bodelwyddan; Rev. H. Parry, Bylchau Rev. Mr. Griffiths, Llanynys Rev. Mr. Davies, Gyffvlliog; Rev.

"Btak;!Ù,Gy- hyfryd; Price Morris, Esq. and party, Abbey; Mi,, P?rH'* Jones and party, Mr. Francis Wynne and Misaes Wynne, J. Meredith Williams. Esq., Mrs. Williams and Misses Williams, &c„ Ac. The School children formed into a procession, anJ marched t. church. The services were i",p,iely read by the Rev. Mr. Edwards, the Vicar, and the Lord Bishop delivered an excellent dis- course founded on St. John, xiv—2—" In my father's house are many mansions." The choir performed its part most creditably, and Mrs. Edwards presided at the Harmomium in a very able manner. The Rev. Wynne Edward Rhuddlan (who with C. W. W. Edward-, Esq., gratuiously gave the additional required) handed the deed to the Lord Bishop, who proceeded to consecrate the ground, and it was afterwarrls read in church. A col- lection was made at the close of the service, and a large amount realized. A Welsh service was held in the even- ing, which was well attended. The School children and singers were treated to a supper at the vicarage, by the respected Vicar.

I THE VALLEY. PETTY SESSIONS, Monday, July 14th-Befte the Rev. James Williams, Rev. W. J. Poole, and. Captaiu Kigby. ■' Hi:rd Jone3, Llaiugoch, Holyhead, was brnuit up chai-ged with assaulting Elizabeth Thomas, of the same place.—Case dismissed. Ellen Malone, Waterside, Holyhead, was charged with an assault upon one Benjamin Booke, of the samc place. Paid the costs. Rowland Roberts, Pen'rallt, Bodedern, was brought up, charged with drunkenness and riotous conduct.- Paid the costs. John Barkley, Holyhead, was also charged with the same offence. -Paid the costs.

She was bound over in the sum of £ 5 to keep the peace for the term of two years. Catherine Jones, Amlwcb, was brought up charged with stealing 6s. from the house of her master, Griffith Owen, Amlwch Port.—Committed to the county gaol for 2 months. A young boy, named Benjamin Hughes, Tymain, Llanfechell, was charged with stealing two books from the National School, Llanfechell, the property, of Owen Williams, Llanfechell, and Hugh Owen, Ceinaes.-Case dismissed.

TREFDRAETH. LECTURE.—On Tuesday, the 15th inst., a very enter- • taining lecture on National Music was delivered at the National School-room, by Dewi Cadvan Bynner. In the absenoe of the Rev. Dr. Owen, the esteemed Rec- -r tor, the Chair was taken by the Rev. It. Jenkins, the much respected Curate of the Parish, who, in a very appropriate speech introduced the Lecturer. Mr. Byn. ner having made a few preliminary remarks, immediate- ly commenced. He entered fully into the peculiarities of music, and gave a most lively description of its bean- ties aud charms. In the course of his lecture'he also made several very facetious remarks, which, if we may judge from their reception, seemed not a little to exhili- rate the company. Cadvan is thorough master of liiit work, and his popularity and well-known and tried abili- ties perhaps make it superfluous for us to add that the meeting was attended with every success. We heartily wish him all the encouragement he so richly deserves.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. On Monday, Prince Alfred, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, left Osborne, and rejoined his ship at Spithead. On Tuesday next, the Queen leaves Osborne for Windsor, and on the 23rd, her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, proceeds to Balmoral. The Prince will remain, sivs the Court Circular, several weeks in the -Big,ilan,-Is and will, during the shooting season, visit his estate in Norfolk. Friday was a great day at the Internationa Exhibition. It was the day appointed for deliver- ing the awards of the juries; and it was arranged, that the ceremony should take place in the Horti- cultural Gardens, and in the Building. The Royal Commissioners of 1861 and 1862, the repre- sentative of Her Majesty, Her Majesty's Minis- teN, and the representatives of foreign countries, assembled in the Conservatory, on the north side of the gardens; in front of which, on the spot where it is intended to erect a memorial to the late Prince Consort, a dais was erected, on which the nfficialH from the Conservatory took their place a little after one o'clotk the Duke of Cambridge occupying a chair of State, placed under the canopy, which had been erected under the eastern dome, on the opening day. The juries had previ- ously arrived from the building, each jury being preceded by a sapper and miner, bearing a blu banner, inscribed with the number of its class. When the Duke of Cambridge took his seat, the jurors flassed over the dais, ill front of His Royal Highness, and the Ohairmeu delivered to him their awards. The Royal Commissioners, ifcc., then proceeded to the building, where a number of "stations" had been constructed, with banners and seats, for the committees representing the re- spective classes to tke chairmen of whom the awards were delivered. From about 11 o'clock, up to this time, ten military bands had been play- ing in different parts of the building and gardens except when the Royal Commissioners were re- ceiving the awards on the dais, or distributing them in the building. The latter duty performed, the officials returned to the dais, and all the bauds assembled in the garden, and played God Save the Queen." The effect was very fine. The walks and terraces in the extensive gardens were covered with the company collected on the occasion, and the galleries and the nave of the building were crowded. There could not have been less than 80,000 persons present; very few of whom, com- paratively speaking, saw anything of the proceed- ings, but all appeared to enjoy themselves exceed- ingly. Immense damage was done, on Sunday morning, by a fire which broke out in the skittle-ground of a public-house, in the Westminster-road, Lam- beth, and destroyed more property than any that has taken place, since the memorable one in Too- ley-street, on the 21st of June, last year. It entirely destroyed the floor-cloth manufactory of Messrs. Goatley and Chorley, whose carpenters' shop adjoined the skittle-ground did great injury to the large drapery establishment of Messrs. Harvey, called Lambeth-house; damaged several other shops, and a large inn; and rendered nine houses let out in lodgings to poor people, uninha- bitable. The number of premises destroyed or injured, is 33 and the total loss is estimated at near 9200,000 the insurances do not appear to amount to half that sum. Many poor persons have lost their furniture and tools, and are reduced to the greatest distress. A committee is formed for their relief. The Prize Shooting at Wimbledon closed on Friday. On Saturday, about 12,000 volunteers were reviewed by the Duke of Cambridge on the Common, in the presence of the Due d'Aumale, the Due de Magenta, and a number of other offi- cers the movements were all gone through so welJ, as to elicit the warm approbation of His Royal Highness. On Monday, the prizes won in the various matches were distributed to the suc- cessful competitors at the Crystal Palace. There were near 20,000 spectators; and the scene was a verv brilliant one. The civilians present evinced their warm sympathy with the volunteers and few spectacles so gratifying have ever taken place in that beautiful building. The Queen of Great Britain has charged her consul-general S.t Warsaw, to express to the Grand Duke Constantine, the interest her Majesty took in his happy preservation from assassination and his Imperial Highness has also received congratu- lations from the Emperors of Austria and France, the Kings of the Belgians, Saxony, and Hanover. On Sunday, the Grand Duchess Constan^ine was safely delivered of a son, at Warsaw the attempt on the life of the Grand Duke, happily, not having seriously affected her. Accounts from Prussia represent the Second Chamber as deeply engaged with the military bud- get. The Liberals are resolved to carry amend- ments, putting the army upon the footing of 1859 and, if they do, on (lit, that the Chamber will again be dissolved. The Second Chamber of the Kingdom of Hol- land, has been occupied with a bill for emancipa- ting the negroes in the Dutch colonies, which, on the 14th, was passed by a large majority. The period for declaring freedom to the slave," is fixed for the 1st of July, 1863. The bill has now to go before the First Chamber, which cannot amend, but must accept, or reject it: it is fully anticipated, that it will do the former. The Emperor and Empress of the French con- cluded their tour through the south of France, on Friday, by their arrival at Vichy. There the former remains to avail himelf of the benefit of the celebrated springs. The Empress has return- ed to St. Cloud and it is reported at Paris that Her Majesty intend s making another incognito tour to Scotland. The French papers state that a formal treaty of alliance has been concluded be- tween Russsia and France, which powers are en accord with respect to the Eastern, the Italian, and the Danish questions. It is stated that an interview will soon take place between Napoleon, Alexander, and William, at which it is supposed the latter question will be arranged. Several French papers question the policy of this alliance, which they think augurs ill for a continuance of that with England. On the 11th inst., Signor Ratazzi announced to the Chamber of Deputies that the Government of Russia had recognised the independence of Italy, and that the Princess Pia was betrothed to the King of Portugal. He said that it was the Em- peror of the French who had induced the Czar to acknowledge Italy, and concluded his speech as follows :—" Italy takes her place among powers of the first rank in Europe. She will be able to fulfil the expectations universally formed of her, and will be a powerful instrument in extending liberty and civilization." The minister of finance then presented a bill granting the sum of 500,000 lire ( £ 20,000), as a dowry for the Princess, the urgency for the discussion of which was agreed to by the Cliaiuber a committee was also ap- pointed to congratulate the King. It was stated at Turin, on Saturday, that an extraordinary Italian mission was about to set out for St. Peters- burgh, which it was thought would be under the direction of Gen. Cialdini. On the 14th inst., Ratazzi was questioned as to the speech delivered by Garibaldi at Palemio, He denied all knowledge of that chieftain's move- ments, and strongly condemned the manner in which in that speech he had alluded to the Em-^ peror of the French. Garibaldi had returned to Palermo on Saturday, and has been continuing his tour through the island this week. No one seems to know what he is aiming at, but there is a general idea that another "expedition is on foot. The latest telegrams state that the French consul at Palermo had protested against the speech of Garibaldi, and that the newspapers which pub- lished it had been seized. A Vienna paper of the 10th of July asserts that great agitation prevailed in Belgrade, and that an outbreak was apprehended. The Prince was powerless; the minister Garusehanin was believed to be the real head of the movement, which may lead to a change of dynasty. On the 14th, it was stated in La Presse that a Servian Deputy, on a special mission had arrived at Paris. From the Herzegovina and Montenegro, it is stated that on the 6th, the Turks carried the position held by the Montenegrins, south of the village of Plava, and repulsed the attempt of 15,000 Montenegrins to dislodge them. On the 8th, under Abdi Pasha the Turks drove the Montenegrins from the hill of Plava, which is the key to the route of Cettigue. At the same time Derviseli Pasha was advancing Oil Ostrog, from whence he drove the Montene- grins on the 10th and on the 12th a junction was formed between the two armies. This intelli- gence comes from Scutari a telegram from Cet- tigue, dated the lotli, claiiiib, on the contrary, victories by the Montenegrins over the Turks. The intelligence from America this week is highly important. First, with respect to the en- gagement on James Island, before Charlestown, on the 16th of Joue. It is now admitted that the Federals, under Gen. Benliam, were repulsed, after four hours' liard fighting, with the loss of 608 men killed, wounded, and missing they were obliged to retreat under cover of the gun- boats and on the 27th, Gen. Benham and his staff arrived at New York. He is to be tried by Court Martial, for acting in disobedience to or- ders. James Island has been evacuated, and the siege of Charlestown suspended during the sum- mer. With respect to the events before Rich- mond, Gen. M'Clellan, in a despatch dated the 25th ult., says, that at 9 a.m. that day, Gen. Hooker advanced with his division to take up a new position near the city. He met with the most determined resistance, but the Confederates gave way before "the invincible canonage" of their opponents, and although, during the day every- thing indicated a general battle, "the enemy," says M'Clelbn, for some rea.on or other, backed out of it." The loss on the side of the Federals is said to be about 200 killed and woiiiided that of the Confederates was equal to their own. This was the affair briefly alluded to in our last.-The next day, the Confederates reinforced by Gen. Jackson, attacked the Federals, and defeated them, as stated in our last week's paper. At first, Secretary Stanton ordered that no reports of this action should appear. Soon after, long accounts were published in the Baltimore and other papers, which describe the retreat of M'Clellan, conse- quent upon his defeat, as a "strategic move- ment," previously planned, and which he success- fully carried out in the face and in spite of the Confederate force.—A fresh arrival brings intelli- gence to the 5th of July. It appears that the fighting continued 4 days—from the 2bth of June to the 1st of July and the Confederates say that they took 12,000 prisoners, all M'Clellau's siege guns, and stores sufficient to supply their army for three months. M'Clellan denies that lie was beaten, though he has fallen back 17 miles— after claiming an advantage on the 25tli, in tak- ing an advanced position, and admitting that he lost 27 guns on the 27tli ult., says he carried off everything else. We shall learn more by the next mail. The visit of the President and Gen. Pope to Gen. Scott, at the Military Academy, West Point, on the Hudson, mentioned in our last, wM made "privately,the President and General leaving Washington on the 23rd, and returning on the 25th of June. MI". Lincoln was recognised at the railway stations, and had to address the people, to whom he said, his mission was destitute of impor- tance, as he was not going to make or unmake any General. However, on the 27th, he placed the divisions of Banks, Fremont, and M'Dowell, in the Valley of the Shenandoah, under Major-Gen. Pope. Fremont, thinking this arrangement de- graded him, resigned his command in consequence, and was succeeded by General Rufus King. The women of New Orleans have published an ap- peal to their countrymen, in which, alluding to Butler's proclamation, they say, We know these bitter burning wrongs will be avenged." The Governor of Louisiana has also issued an address to the people, called forth by the same proclama- tion, which will never, whatever the issue of the war, be forgotten in the South. Butler is now quarrelling with the foreign consuls, and has drawn up an oath which he insists upon all foreigners taking. The clergy of Nashville have refused to take the oath to the Federal Govern- ment, and many have been sent to the Peniten- tiary. On the 25th ult., the Confederates cap- tured a valuable train and some troops, going to Corinth, from Memphis and Gen. Curtis was said to be in a dangerous position in Arkansas. Vicksburg, reported to have surrendered some- time ago, was still in the hands of the Confeder- ates, Oil the 30th, when it was bombarded, ac- cording to the New York papers, by 20 Federal gun-boats. On the 1st of July, the President, in consequence of a requisition from the Governors of 18 States, issued an order, calling out 300,000 more troops. -There was a very numerous meeting at New York on the 30th, at which a number of resolutions were passed, in support of the Union and the constitution but denouncing abolition, and describing the negroes as an inferior race." According to intelligence from Mexico, publish- ed in the Madrid papers, a provisional government was established at that city, on the 14th ult., com- posed of five leading citizens, who are charged to arrange the general elections, with a view to the establishment of a monarchy, under the protection of Europe. This would be very important news, if true. It has not, however, been confirmed at the same time, it is not positively contradicted.— We learn, from Oran, that 1800 men have left Algeria for Guadaloupe, en route to Mexico none of the other reinforcements have sailed at present. —According to the New York papers, Mr. Lincoln has sent to the Senate, a treaty concluded with Juarez's government, under which a loan is to be made to the latter of 11,000,000 dollars. The Indian mail has arrived this week, with dates from Calcutta to June 9 Hong Kong and Melbourne, to May 26 and Sydney to May 21. It brings little news that of the most interest relates to China. It is stated, that the English and French had retaken Ningpo from the Tae- pings and that the latter were in such force around Shanghae, that it was apprehended the allies would have to act entirely on the defensive, till reinforcements arrived from India. Native troops, to the number of 8,000 or 10,000 were expected. Despatches from Admiral Hope, pub- lished in Tuesday's Gazette, state that the allies took possession of Ningpo, because the rebels fired on French and English ships. —There is no politi- cal news by this mail from Australia; and com- mercial affairs remained nearly in statu quo since the last arrivals.

NATIONAL SCHOOL.—This School was visited by the Rev. W. AVillliiimq, the Diocessan Inspector for St. Asaph, who examined them in the usual subjects of Diocesan enquiry. The children's answers were ready aud exceedingly good. The rev. gentleman expressed himself highly gratified with the result of the examina- tion, awl said that the School had wonderfully improved since his last visit. Notwithstanding the disadvantages that Mr. Richards has to contend with, yet we are con- fident, by his activity and diligence, that this school will soon become one of the most flourishing.

Turner, Esq., mayor, Thamas Turner, Esq. John Roberts and Wm. Roberts, two boys, were charged with wantonly throwing stones in the streets on the 7th inst. The charge being satisfactory proved they were each fined Is., and 7s. costs, Jane Evans was charged by Mary Owens with an assault, and Mary Owens was charged by Mary Robert4 with a?tilting her at the same time and place. A vast amount of evidence was delivered on both side in the cases—the whole however only disclosed the di etails of a disreputable affray in the lowest part of the town and amongt the most immoral of characters. Jane Evans and Mary Owens were each bound over to keep the peace for 6 months. Margaret Williams, a young woman of disreputable character, was committed to take her trial at the next assizes on a charge of stealing from the person of Bobt Thomas, of Rhos, Bethel, XI 7s. 3d., on Saturday mghi last, on the Bangor road, near the Railway StBtlOIL The facts of the case were remarkably clear and mainly as follows ?ober? Thomas, the prosecutor, said he was returning from Carnan-on towards Felinheliwhenh.? jorn? by the defendant, who asked him wh,m he was glil?? Fpon receiving his reply that he was going to Fehnheli she said she would accompany him, as she waA stopping there herself. They walked together for some tune when he felt defendant's hand in his left trousers-pocket. He asked her what she wanted, at the same time potting his own hand in his pocket, and at once discovered that all his money had gone. He accused her of taking it, her answer however was only fight "She was soon overtaken by witness, who brought her to Carnarvon, when in Bangor-street he was met by P.C. Davies, into whose custody he delivered his prisoner. On the.r way to Bangor-street, before they met the constable, defend- ant strongly denied the theft, but gave prosecutor a 6d. and 3d., which she said was all she had. P.C. David Davies said he was on duty in Bangor- street on the night in question, and was requested by prosecutor to take the defendant in charge (on a charge of robbing him), which he did. On their way to the station-house witness observed defendant putting her hand in her pocket, he guessed her intention and caught it as soon as she withdrew it, when he found it contained something, it being however too dark to see, whatever he held her hand closed until he arrived at the statiou when he found it ccmtained a sovereign and six shillings. She admitted that she had robbed the prosecutor, but that she would give witness a pound if he let her escape. The defendant was then cautioned in the usual mau- ner, but said sllf had only to say "that if prosecutor had not shown her his money she would, not have thought anything about it, but that it served him right." She was then told that she was committed to gaol to take her trial at the next assizes, and desired to sit down until her commitment was made out; instead oè doing so however she turned round to within a few steps of where prosecutor was sitting and then made a dash behind the officers, and before they could turn round had planted her Juts in a most vigorous manner, several times, upon the head of the unfortunate prose- cntnr-the whole was only the work of a few *%econ(t?. when the prisoner wu seized by half a ?ozt:u constables and very roughly conveyed below.
