JiMLWCH. I The Great Eagtern e team-ship paased this Bay about i 8 o'clock on Tuesday eoening last. Her moneter form was beautiful in the extreme, all she passed her smaller sisters that happened to be near her course. BALA. On Tuesday evening, the 30th ult., a grand musical entertainment, of the National Melodies of England, Ireland, and Wjiles, was given at the Grammar School- room, Bala, by Mr. J. Owen (Owain Alaw), of booster, assisted by the Band of the Royal Merionethshire Mi, litia, under the superintendence of their able leader, Mr. Dixon. The programme was well selected, beveral glees were sung by Mes,in. Roberts, Uoyd, and .Evans, who acquitted themselves very creditably, considenng the short time they had to prepare. There was a large and respectable audience, amongst. whom we noticed J. Jonos, Esq, and family, Vachddeihog; Isaac Gilbertson, F.I., Errvl Arran; Miss Jones, Bryntegid; Miss Dick- ens, Mrs Lloyd and family, and several others of the elite of the neighbourhood. Mr. Gilbertson, with his lIsualliberality, treated the Church Choir and everyone in his employ; and we only wish that we had similar entertainments oftener in this beautiful and picturesque town of Wales. BETHESDA. I A NARROW ESCAPE.—It appears that on Monday evening last, when the volunteers were returning home from a rifle practice by Pont-y-twr, they met one Hugh Jones, a jailor, and one of them levelled his rifle at his face and discharged the contents. The rifle was loaded .ith blank cartridge, which entered his face anil injured llim. He was taken to Dr. Hughes's surgery, where his wounds were carefully attended to. A quantity of pow- der and paper were extracted, and it was evident, had it not been for the peak of his cap, the injuries would have been so seriuus as to deprive him of his sight. LLANYSTUMDWY. I HE-OPENING OF THE PARISH CHURCH BY THE LORD BISHOP OF BANGOK. The re-opening of the new beautiful little Ch lrch of the rural village of Llanystumdwy, umhv"y between Pwllheli and Portmadoc, took place on Thursday last, by the 1Iml Bishop of Bangor, in the presence of a large number of the clergy and laity of the neighbouring di.,trict. We are sorry to say that in many parishes in this part of Wales the Church edifices, though old and anti- quated, and, therefore, in a way venerable, are neither hiindsome nor commodious. They are poor structures, devoid of beauty and comfort, and in some instances, which we could specify, they are in a most disgraceful state of dilapidation. Happily, however, this state 01 things is gradually being reformed; and hortiand there, at intervals, we have the pleasure of recording not only the erection of entirely new churches, in fresh districts, but the building and re-opening of new parish churches, built on tho sites of the old ones. The old Church of Llanystumdwy was a fair specimen of the ancient type of Churches to be met with even now very frequently in the out-of-the-way and remote parts of Wales. It had a venerable appearance, and was covered with ivy nearly from the foundation to the top of its belfry. Inside, however, it was cheerless, cold, and incommodious; aud the present worthy rector, the Rev. Henry IUchs.rcls, determined, if possible, to erect a new edifice, as a graceful legacy to his successors, and which should do the parish over which he has so consci- entiously presided for so many years, and the Church of England, honour and credit. WA are happy to say that in this object he has been eminently successful, and that he has been favoured with that assistance, support, aud co-operation which his good intentions so richly merited. In short, by his exertions, Llanystumdwy can now boast of one of the neatest, handsomest, and most pleasaut village churches which can bo fouud anywhere in this part of the Princi- pally. Having said this .h, we now, before proceeding to speak of the details connected witn me e-ive a detailed description of the edifice. The Church, which is situated in a delightful spot, surrounded by well-grown trees, is approached from the east over a picturesque bridge, and from the west through a Lich gate; is cruciform in plan, and has been rebuilt on the same site as the former edifice, with the excep- tion of the northern transept, which has now been added. The internal dimensions of the building, as now completed, are :—The nave, 47 feet 6 inches long, up to the steps outside the altar rails, and 31 feet 6 inches wide; the north and south transept, 14 ft. 6 in. by 12 ft.; the chancel, 18 ft. 6 in. longitudinally, from the east wall to the edge of the steps outside the altar rails, by 15 ft. wide. A portion of the length of the chancel ex- tends westwardly beyond the arched recess in which the Lord's table is placed. The general height of the build- ing is 14 ft. 6 in. to the caves, and there are a south porch, a small robijig room on the internal north and west walls within the nave, aud a triple-arched bell tur- ret, which complete the plan. The style adopted in the design for re-building is late decorated or third pointed. Local circumstances made it necessary to construct the nave of the unusually wide span just mentioned, aud the arrangement of the chancel was suggested in conse- quence of the impossibility of carrying the chancel fur- ■tlier to the east without infringing on the tomb stones and graves, which are. much crowded together at this point. The chancel is lighted by an arched-headed win- dow, in three lights, with traceried head, the whole filled in with stained glass, by l\1e.r.i. T. Haillie & Co., 118, Wardour-street, London, and the gift of Mrs. Howel Morgan, of Hengwrt-uoha, as a memorial to her sister, Mrs. Nanney, of Gwynfryu, a full description of this ill' teresting work of art is hereafter given. The nave and robing-room are lighted by ten single lighted, two square- headed double lighted, and one central double lighted arched-headed windows. Thewalla outside are strength- ened by buttresses, in two stages, on the north and south walls, and a bold buttressed projection is carried up at the west gable, crowued by the triple-arched bell turret, fitted with three bells, which are rung from a small recess in the inside of the west wall of the nave. The timbers of the roof are exposed, dressed and stained, having arched principals at the intersection of the cross on the plan. The architects have successfully introduced a series of collars and rafters to meet the peculiarity of the span of the nave. The Church will accommodate about 300 worshippers, The old seats have been stainod and varnished, to match the new seats; and a platform raised at the west end for the singers. The pulpit and reading-desk are placed on the north and south sides of the arch in the chancel, j and the old font re-dressed, lined with lead, and furnish- ed with a plug aud washer, to the water drain. The magnificent cloth for the altar, and other furniture, have been furnished by Mr. Griffith Davies the two elegant chairs, by Mr. Rowlands; and the standard and sconces by Mr. Wm. F. William-i-from their establishments at Bangor. The .post of the whole of these works will, we are in- formed, be between t950 to £ 1,000, a large 1:7rt of which the tiev. Henry Itichards, the Reotor, to whose indefatigable exertions the bringing to a satisfactory conclusion the reinstating of this house of God is due has still t ) realize. The designs for the works were furnished by Messrs. Kennedy and Rogers, of Bangor, and 83, Woburn-square, London, architects, and were carried into execution by Mr. Wm. Thomas, Alenai Bridge, builder. The following is a description of the subjects in the Stained glass of the east window The window is in the decorated style, and is fitted with stained and painted glass, is divided into three lower or principal lights, and eleven richly ornamented com- partments the tracery above is about 124 ft. in height, and 6 ft. 6 in. in width. In the centre principal light is an illustration of our Lord's sermon on the g.unt, so fully described in St. Matthew's Gospel, chap. v. In the dexter or north side is shewn St. Paul preaching at Athens, as given in the fourteenth chapter of the Act of the Apostles. And in the sinister or south side is St. Peter preaching, as described in the second chapter of Acts of the Apostles, wherein is stated that about 3,000 souls are converted. Each of these groups are in an elongated medallion shape, the remainder of the open- ings being occupied with Mosaic design, in rich colours across the lower part of the window, under the groups, is a memorial legend, written in the Welsh language, in Lombardic characters, as follows Er gogoniant i Dduw, ac or coffadwriaeth am Mary Nanney, yr hon a fu farw Gorphenaf 8ed, 1849, yn 29 rnlwydd oed, y cyfodwyd y ffenestr hon gan ei chwaer, Aim Morgan." In the tracery lights are represented the Dove, the Phcan, the Cross, Holy Bible, and Cherubim, together with the text, Cor. xv. 22, written in Welsh. These are shewn on grounds of rich ruby and blue, and carry throughout the upper part the same depth and richness of colour as appears in the lower part. "Oblegid megis yn Adda y mae pawb yn meirw, felly hefyd yng Nghrist y bywheir pawb.1 Corinthians xr. 22. When the date of the re-opening of the Church had beeo decided upon, the leading gentry of the parish, with characteristic liberality, agreed to supply a boun- teous repast to the strangers and others who were ex- pected to be preeent ¡ the result being one of the most splendid sps," -to employ a reporting vulgarism- which it is poiwble to conceive, The luncheon took place in the National Schoolroom, Mr. Joseph Hughes (Rectory), assisted by Mr. Drew, undertaking the entire arrangement of this part of the day's proceedings. The following ladies and gentlemen contributed to supply the sumptuous bill of fare: Major Nanney, Qwynfryn; S. 0. Priestley, Esq., Tre- fan; Rer. H. Richards, Rectory; E. A. Owen, Esq., Parkia V. C. Knight, Esq., Plas Hen John Williams, Esq., Talarvor; Mrs. Jones, Ynysgain; Mr. Nightingale, Criceieth and Miss Jones, Ynysgain-ganol. The orning servi which was in English, took place at 11 o'clock, after which the Lord Bishop preached a powerful seon from Haggai, lstchilpterandeth 8th verse A collection was made after the sermon, in aid of the fund, as there is a balance against the Church of nearly X300. The luncheon took place at a little after one o'clock, and was presided over by the Rev. H. Richards, assisted by the Rev. T. Jones, Llanengan, and E. A. Owen, Esq. Parkia. The following clergymen were present: -Revcls. Canon J ones, Llandwrog G. Phillips, renmorfis; St. Goo. A. Williams, Llangybi; Henry G. Edwards, Llandinorwic; D. Pugh, Abererch T. LI.

ANNUAL MEETING.—On Wednesday evening, and on Thursday last, the annual meeting of the Wesleyan body was held in their new cl?.p?l, in this town, the at-I tendance on each occasion being very large. The fol!ow ing ministers attended and preached powerful and im- pressive sermons Revds. S. Davies, Bangor, J. Jones, (Villon) and the Rev. W. Jones, Carnarvon. ROT ATOIT—On Wedndsday last, several reut audits took place in this town. That of Lord Newborough was held in the Fanner's Inn, the Hon. Col. Pennant's at the Crown Hot-l, and those of Mrs. Lloyd, (Tregaian, Anglesey) and Mr. Liloyd Jones Parry, at the Star Inn, High-street. Dinners were given to the tenants at each of the above-named places. CON t'lr.MATRiN.- -On Tuesday last, the Lord Bishop of the diocese attended at St. Peter's Church, in this town, and held a confirmation service. The litany was read by the Vicar, the Rev. D. Howell, after which his Lordship addressed the candidates (about 100) both in English and Welsh. There was a large attendance, both the clergy and laity being present on the occasion. SHOCKING SUICIDE.—On Wednesday afternoon last, the news was brought to this town that a young lad, 15 years of age, son of a man best known as Ellis Tan y fron, in the parish of Llanengan, Lleyu, had committed suicide by hanging himself with a rope about 6 o'clock on the morning of that day. The lad was in the employ of Mr. Hugh Roberts, farmer, Franan, Llanor, and he left home in order to tie up the cows for milking in the shippon. He not returning soon, Mrs. Roberts went to call him to breakfast, when, on entering the cow-hou33, she saw him suspended by a chain, on seeing which, she fainted. When cut down, life was not quite extinct, but it was nearly so. Up to this time (rhursday morn- ing) nothing has been discovered to account for this rash and terrible act. It is said, however, fhat an uncle of his committed suicide pretty much in the same way. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—1The fortnightly meeting of this Board toox place on Wednesday last, July 1st, when there were present the following Guardians Mr. W. Watkins, presiding chairman; Mr. Rd. Jones, vice- chairman Messrs. Hugh Jones, John Williams, (Llan- bedrog) It. Hughes, John Elias, D. Hughes, Hugh Evans, R. Whittington, G. II amphreys, R. Jones (Llan- degwning), James Parry, Wm. Thomas, Herbert The- mas, T. Priehard, John Williams (Aberdaron), R. Owen, John Williams (Bottwnog), John Griffith, and Griffith Jones (Meiilteyrn). The Treasurer's Account.-From the treasurer's book it appeared that there was 1;148 2s. 10d. in his hands in favour of the Union. Parishes in Arrears.-Itwas ordered that the Clerk be instructed to apply for summonses on Wednesday next, at the Magistrate's meeting, against all the parishes then in arrear with the second instalment. Nevin.—Appointment of Guardians.— The following correspondence was read from the Poor Law Board. Poor Law Board, Whitehall, June 24th, 1863. Sir,—f am directed by the Poor Law Board to trans- mit to you a copy-of a letter which has been addressed to them by the Rev. John Hughes, relative to the failure to elect, at the proper time, guardians for the parish of Nevin, in the,Pwllheli Union. I am directed to request that you will furnish the Board with information as to the circumstances alluded to by the Rev. J. Hughes, and, at the same time, (for- ward for their inspection, a copy of the return form E. in respect of the late election of Guardians for the Union.. I am also to enquire whether guardians were elected for the parish of Nefyn last year, who are qualified and willing to serve for the present year, under the authority of the 5th and 6th Vict. cap. 57, sec. 10. I am, Sir, Your obt. Servant, C. GILPIN, Secretary. To o. Owen. Eso. Pwllheli." 'My Lords,—I have been requested to ask your ad- vice under the following circumstances. I In the month of March, 1863, two persons were no; minated as Guardians for the parish of Nefyn, Pwllheli Union. The nomination paper had been properly filled up at the proper time, but the person to whom it was entrusted neglected delivering it for more than a week after the time appointed, and, therefore, there are no guard- ians, to the great inconvenience and detriment of the parish. I Under the circumstances the parishioners wish to know whether they can proceed to nomiuate f<eah guard- ians for the remainder of the year, and also (if they can do so) how they are to go about it. I remain, my Lords, Your obt. Servant, 'JOHN HUGHES, I Elected Chairman of Vestry. Penymaes, Nefyn, June 20th, 1863.' The. Cheques.—The following cheques were signed on behalf of the relieving officers for the relief of the out- door paupers;—Mr. Rd. Jones, £ 45; Mr. E. T. Griffith, jC65 Mr. Wm. Roberts, £ 45; and Mr. T. Griffith, £ 40. 1he Assessment Committee.—There was a meeting of the A-rsessment Committee held after the Board Meet- ing, Mr. W. Watkiua in the chair; but no business of importance was transacted. PENMACHNO. I FATAL ACCIDBNT.—On Thursday, the 28th ult., while Robert Roberts, Tanlan, in this parish, was at his employment in Graig Ddu Slatequarry, he unfortunately fell seven yards down a rock. His skull was fractured in such a frightful manner that he expired on Wednes- day last, the 1st inst. MACHYNLLETH. AN EXTBKSIVK COINER CAPTURED.—On the fair-day (Friday se'nnight) a respectably-dressed person visited several shops in this town, and purchased a quantity of goods with counterfeit coin. About 8 o'clock in the evening, he called at the Red Lion Inn, kept by Mr. J. Breeze, saddler, called for two penny worth of gin, and tendered half-a-crown in payment. The suspicions of the landlady, who had received one of the customer's kalf-crownb 6arlierin the day, were aroused, and she communicated with her husband, who discovered that the coin was counterfeit. The man was detained whilst the police were sent for, and then taken into custody by P.C. Thomas and P.C.Edwards, who found upon him gil in gold, and £1 in silver, and 3s. 7Jd. in copper, all good money except eight crowns and six half-crowns. The man had also in his possession 30 packets of tobacco from different shops in ounces and half ounces. He goes by several names. He is a Welshman, and speaks the language perfectly. He is supposed to be a native of Flintshire. THE WELSH COAST RAILWAY.—The line from the junction at Machynlleth to Borth, a distance of 20 miles, was opened for public traffic on the 1st inst., having been previously examined with great care by the Govern- ment Inspector, Capt. Rich, on the Friday previously, and pronounced perfectly safe. A great number availed themselves of the Opportunity thus afforded of paying a visit to the sea shore, the weather being exceedingly fa- vourable for the occasion. A goodly number of excur- sionists also visited Machynlleth from Aberystwith,Borth, ind the surrounding neighbourhood, a day's ramble in the interior being equally agreeable to them as to their trieuds at Machynlleth. Much credit is due to Messrs, Savin for the speedy completion of this portion of the important undertaking; aud we doubt not but that the rndertaking will be highly remunerative to the company, when thoroughly accomplished. FLINTSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The general quarter sessions for this coufity were held at the County Hall, Mold, on Wednesday last, when the court sat for the fiscal business of the county. The fol- lowing magistrates were present:—H. Raikes, Esq, (Chairman,) Sir Stephen R. Glynne, Bart.; Sir Pyers Mostyn, Bart.. Capt. Mostyu, J. W. Eyton, J. S. Bankes, Ll. F. Lloyd, T. W. Eyton, E. Pemberton, W. Keates, C. Jones, T. G, Dickson, Nant, W. B. Buddicum, P. P. Pennant, and J. Churton, Esqrs, Capt H. D. Thonim, and Major Wills. Mr. Penson read his report respecting the Saltney lockups. Three sites were named, and the estimate for building was £ 500. Capt. Thomas wished to know how much money had been paid by this county upon lock-houses during the last 3 years as these buildings were substantially built, and wera intended for coming generations, who would also reap the benefit of them, it was his opinion that they should be put on the same footing as the militia barracks, &c., and tha t a loan be made, payable by in- Capt. Mostyn moved, and Mr. Ll. F. Lloyd seconded, —That a return of the number of new lock-houses to be built, and an estimate of the money required, be made by the next quarter sessions, and that a loan be made as suggested by Capt. Thomas. Mr. Penson read his report of Overton lock-ups. The repairs necessary for these lock-ups were-flagging court yard, £20; if paved with pebbles, J:.7 2s.; ditto with Buckley brick, £14; altering privy, tl 10s.; windows, £ 3; new spouts, jCl 913.; total cost, £ 19,19s. Sir Pyers MoBtyn was of opinion that the lock-ups in populous districts should contain 3 cells instead of 2. Mr. Penson then read his report respecting St. Asaph bridge. People have b3en in the habit of taking gravel from the bed of the river, which makes the bridge in- secure, especially at inundations. He had affixed no- tices on the bridge, cautioning the people not to do so. KITUDDLAN BRIDGE. I should recommend that the iron portion of the bridge be painted. The cost will be about £15. It has not been painted for 4 years." Capt. Thomas thought that a very high sum for paint- ing a few rails, but Mr. Penson iuformed him that he did not see above a third of what was required to be painted. Mr Thomas then said he thought it would be much better and cheaper to get the bottom of the bridge coal tarred or painted with liquid varnish. THE QAOIJ ACCOUNT. The report of the Visiting Comittee was read by L1. F. Lloyd, li-sq., by which it appeared there were 23 pri- soners in gaol on Monday last, including 22 males and 1 female; 19 undergoing sentence and 4 awaiting trial. A certificate was read from E. T. Hughes, Eq., M.D., Burgeon, relative to the health of a prisoner named Thos. Crowder, who is in gaol under sentence for larceny, and who appears to be in a very precarious condition. '1 he Visiting Committee recommend that a letter be sent to the Secretary of State, praying for a mitigation of the sentence passed upon the prisoner. RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE GAOL. A letter was then read, received by the visiting com- mittee, from Mr. Priehard, governor of Flint gaol, stat- ing that it was his intention to tender his resighation at the next Michaelmas sessions, and he trusted the magis- trates would kindly grant such superannuation as they might consider his due, after a service of 32 years. L1. F. Lloyd, ESll., paid a very high compliment to Mr. Prichard for the very satisfactory manner in which he had discharged his duties. The resignation of Mr. Pritchard having been accept- ed, the Clerk of the Peace was instructed to take the necessary steps for advertising for successors to Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard,—candidates to send in their testimonials on or before the 1st of September next. A general consultation ensued as to the Welsh langu- age being a qualicatiou for the appointment of gaoler. It was admitted that it would perhaps be more advanta- geous that the governor should understand the language, but it was decided that a knowledge of Welsh should be considered as essentially necessary. Captain Thomas proposed-" That the appointment of turnkeys for Flint Gaol, which has hitherto been in the hands of the joaler, be in future reserved by the Magistrates." The proposition was approved of. Mr. Prichard thanked the Court for their kindness towards him, and expressed his willingness to render every assistance and information to his successor. Captain Mostyn, with reference to his previous motion, made the following addenda-" That the County Sur- veyor make an estimate of the police stations to be erected, and that the following gentlemen compose a committee to consider his report:—LI. F. Lloyd, Esq., W. Keates, Esq., W. B. Buddicum, Esq., J. S. Bankes, Esq., J. Churton, Esq., Major Wills, and Captain Thomas. Ordered—That a County Rate of £ 800 be made, and a Police Rate of "00. THE NEW HIGHWAY ACT. Sir Stephen R. Glynne next addressed the Court on the adoption of the above Act throughout the county, and inasmuch as three half-years must expire before the Act could be put in force even if adopted, he beg- ged to propose that a committee be then formed to take the matter into consideration, and to obtain the neces- sary information for their future guidance. Mr. Ll. F. Lloyd and Mr. J. S. Bankes approved of the motion. Capt. Thomas remarked that while he individually did not oppose the motion, he would suggest that the Lord Lieutenant include only his portion of the county to come under the Act, as he (Capt. Thomas) thought an opposition would be raised in his neighbourhood. Mr. Bankes strongly opposed that any division of the county should take place, for if separate districts were made it would give rise to an increase of surveyors, and as the motion of the Lord Lieutenant would, in his (Mr. Bankes') opinion, benefit the county generally, he thought that the whole county should therefore come under its operation. After some further conversation Sir Stephan proposed that a provisional order to bring this county under the operations of the New Highway Act be made at the next Quarter Sessions. In reply to Mr. Keates it was stated that the Act in question was not compulsory, and it was at the option of a county or any part of a county to adopt it. Mr. Churton stated it was his painful duty to an- nounce the death of their late Chairman, Judge Ri- chards, which took place on Thursday last, and whose remains would be interred that day at Denbigh. The Chairmanship now being vacant he (Mr. Churton) suggested that steps be taken to appoint a successor to Mr. Richards. Capt. Mostyn remarked that he saw no reason why an immediate appointment should be made. They had a Deputy-Chairman who was able to conduct the busi- ness of the Sessions, and as Mr. Richards' successor as County Court Judge would soon be appointed, who probably might reside in the county, in that case he considered that the election of Chairman should be for some time delayed. After some further remarks made by several gen- tlomen, Sir Stephen R. Glynne proposed that the election of Chairman take place at the next Quarter Sessions, which was agreed to. The Chief Constable's report was examined by a com- mittee in another room. Captain Thomas remarked that the sum paid to the assistant Chief Constables on account of the Coed Talon strike was very high. THURSDAY. The trial of prisoners took this day, there being only four cases. John Parry, pleaded guilty,—house breaking. Six months' imprisonment. Charles Holt—house-breaking. Not guilty. John Murphy-larceny. Guilty-eight months' im- prisonment. John Davies-stealing from the person of Mrs. Pryor. Eighteen months' imprisonment.
