A NEW GOLD MINE.—The discovery of a new gold mine is aunouaced, this time on the (iwynon farm, near Tynygroea, in an old working which was tried soma yeaisago. The workers, who are a few persons working ia the immediate locality, describe the "find as of a very superior quality, and meet with the gold in "bunches" as at Yigra and Cluggau. The works at Vigra are going on exceedingly well, and hardly a week passes witbout some remarkable jind being made. THE PIUUSH CHUKCHI.— the improvements and altera- tious iu the palish church are proceeding very satisfac- torily. During the week the old gallery at the west eUlI, which was of no use now that the choir have been removed to tbe chancel, has been pulled down, and the old hand-organ, which has been replaced SGme lnontus past by a harmonium presented by IrIrs Charles Ed- wards, of Dolserau, taken to pieces and removed. The demolition of the old gallery, which was really a great eye sore to the internal appearance of the building, has ciisclose,1 two painted glass windows, of whose existence very few persons were aware, which were presented by Mr J. Chkllaw Roberts, au ex-churchwarden, and are erected to the memory of adeceasedinotherand son. The subjects represented are Christ blessing little children, and the liuptism of our Lord by John the Baptist; and the windows, we understand, were the first memorials of the kind presented to the church, which uow boasts of seve- ral very handsome painted windows. A new and im. proved heating apparatus is being constructed at the wuxt end, by which a current of heated air willllow tliiongh the church, aud the alteration in the chaucel and body of the building will be commenced very shortly. External improvements are also being made. The old porch at the entranctl to the churchyard has been takeu away, and a portion of the wall which sur- rounds the church has beeu re-constructed. THE PROPOSAL) MARKET HALL. An extraurdinary general meetiug of the shareholders of the Uolgeliey Market Hall and Public Rooms Com- pany (limited) was held at the Couuty Hall on the 22nd. L'be attendance, which was uut numerous, include¡lllh Charles Edwards, who presided, llr Lewis Williams, Vrouwnion, Col. Runbury, C.B., Mr John Vaughan, Nannau, Mr tiriffith Williams, Rryntirion, N] r J. Chid- law Roberts, Mr Edward Jones, Ship Hutel, Mr Edward Walker, Brynhyfryd, .Mr William Williams, Ivy House, Mr Juhn Meyrick Jones, Mr David Jones, tanner, Mr Lewin Williams, auctioneer, Mr Edward Griffith, draper, Mr David Griiffth, Angel Hotel, Mr NVilliatn Htigbes, printer, Mr R W. Williams, Mr Griffith Ellis, Mr Owen Rees, Mr Evan Jones, Mr Humphrey Jones, Tanybryn Cottage, &, Mr J oseph Roberts, secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, which was for the purpose of deciding upou a plan for the proposed market hall, '1 he ChÚrmau .aid that the Board of Directors had received a number of plans frum architects iu reply to their advertisement, aud, after having given a most careful consideration to the whole of them, they had determined uuaniuiously upon presenting to the general body of the shareholders for their approval and sanction, the plan which had been sent in by Mr Spaull, of Oswestry, and it would be for the meeting to decide upon accepting that or auy other of the plans lIOIV laid before them. Alter the last meeting of the direetol's, "gelleml opinion had been expressed that it would be much preferable to have a good market hall, which should have every convenience and necessary, and be in all ways adapted to the purposes and require- ments of the town. Mr John Vaughan, and two or three of the promineut shareholders had been speakiog to him upon the subject, and Mr Vaughan had very kindly otiercd to give up to the purposes of the market hall some ground in the front on the same moderate terms as that ground at the back of the building, a piece of grouud abutting on the north side. That agreement gave them the opportunity of having a much larger building, aud thus arose the question as to the addi- tional capital-if such additional capital were desir- able, and if so, how it was to be raised. It did not seem desirable to make further calls, or in- crease the number of shares, and ask the share- holders to take up more than their original allotment, but in order to meet the requirements of the larger building, it was necessary that all additional £1,000 should lie raised in one way or the other. If the build- ing was worth anything, it must return an income, and they could easily raise XI 000 by a lirst preference charge upou the revemies. Air Vaughan said that he had some money lying idle, and bad offered to let them have the XI,000 which was needed upon the first prefer- ence charge. The plaus w hicb they recommended of the increased building would embrace a general entrance, a second entrance, with retiring rooms and necessary offices upon the ground floor, and upstairs a large as. sembly room, which would tie ca: able of seating about 1,000 persons, aud was calculated to comfortably accom- modate about 700, and which could be adapted as a ball or coucert room, and ha,1 a small supper room and con- veniences attached. The directors proposed that the increased capital which was necessary ill order to erect a real, good market hall, should be raised by a first charge of four per cent, upon the reveuues of the mar- ket hall; and one question which would have to be dis- cussed at a future meeting would be if they should keep to their original capital of £ 2,000, or by a first charge of four per cent, raise an additional sum of ;CI,000, making the capital £ 3,000. The plan sent in by Mr Spauil was on the table, and he would be glad to hear any remarks or suggestions upon it from the share- holders. Mr Griffit.h Ellis suggested that the offices on the ground floor should be entirely taken away. They only caused additional expense, and the real necessity of the town was a market hall. After a desultory conversation upon the plan, Mr Williams (Ivy House) asked if the estimate of the proposed building was within £1,500, and whether, if such was Mr Spaull's estimate, it could be done for that sum. His experience with architects had generally shown him that it was necessary to spend some hun- dreds in excess of the estimate which was furnished by the architect. The Chairmau said that in round sums their expendi- ture would be as follows The MtecfMtt 1:900, towards which Mr Lewis Williams had kindly given £ 400; the plan suggested by the directors would be executed within the original estimate for the building, which was between £1,485 and £ 1,500; the fittings of the hall would cost about X150 aud the extra land required would require about £50; which would be a total of about £2,iOO Their original capital was only £2,GOO, and then came the question whether they should make the building smaller, and, consequently, less remunera- tive. If they carried out Mr Spaull's plan they would keep within the estimate, and if they liked they could bring the cost down to £2,000. But if they carried out the amended plan there would have to be an expendi- ture of X2,800; 80 it would be neceisary to raÍ8e addi- tional capital. Mr Lewis Williams then moved, and it was seconded by Air Owen Rees, "Tllat the amended plan, as sent in by Mr Spauil be adopted," and on being put, it was car- ried by thirteen to two. The meeting was then adjourned for a week, in order that Mr Spauil might prepare a suitable estimateand the proceedings terminated wfth the usual compliment to the chairman, which was moved by Mr J. C. Roberta, and seconded by Mr John Vaughan. The accepted design (by Mr Spauil, architect. of Oswestry) contained on the ground lfoor a general market, with II "paee of 2,798 feet; a reading-room, 14ft. by 18 £ t.; a publio entrance, with staircase to assembly room, aud en trance and staircase for reserved tat. a gentlemen's retiring room, 15 feet by 10 feet; and a cooking kitchen, to be used generally as a housekeeper's room. On the lirst floor is an assembly-room, to seat comfortably 660 persons; a ladies' retiring room, a supper room, and two retiring rooms for the performers under the orchestra, also two bedrooms for the house- keeper. The elevation will be a mixed Italian style. Plans were also sent in by Mr Thomas, Menai Bridge, Mr Griffith, Oswestry, Mr Allen, Egremont, Cheshire, aud Messrs Pease and Harris, Cardiff. ST. ASAPH. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the guardians ot this union was held on Thursday last at the board-room. Present (?ut'uu H. L. Th,)mm, chairman; Brownlow W. Wy?e. Esq., G?rth.?iu ltev. Thomas WIli. St. George Hev, Evan Lewis, Llanfair Mr T. G. Lunt, and Mr John Roberts, Denbigh Dr Jones, Abergele Mr H lIgh Parry, St. Asaph Mr E. Powell Jones, Rhyl, Thos, Sleight, Esq., Dyserth; Mr Doyle, Poor Law In- sDector; aud the oiffcers of the board. The master's books and the relieving-ofifcers booils were disposed of in the usual way without anything calling for remark. The Proposed Alterations in the House.-The final consideration of the contemplated alterations in and the additions to the workhouse had been deferred until this day in ordor that Mr Doyle, the Poor Law In- spector, should be present to take his part in the de- liberations. The Chairman said that, Mr Doyle being present, the question of alterations ought to be entered into fully. It appeared to him that it was impossible fOIl the board to keep on with the present system of Dr Llewelyn Lodge's dealing with the children, allowing only one child to sleep in a bed. They could not possibly get enough room at that rate and it appeared to him ab- surd that children who were brought to the house from the sort uf cottage where they were placed to sleep two, three or more together in a bed, should have a bed each, On hoard of ships the biggest man had only for his hammock the space of twenty-eight inches and there was but similar space allowed ia barracks. It was difficult to imagine where the present state of things was working and what would be the end. Vag, rants at the present time had a similar comfortable ae- commodation provided for them in the union work- houses at moderate distances from each other, as tra- vellers eujoyed in the hotels in former times; and after all the aceommudation already provided the gnardiaoB were told that they had no place comfortable enough for thern. (Hear, hear.) It was very hard upon the poor ratepayers, many of whom, because they were indus- trious and honest were worse off than those who were in receipt of relief. (Hear, hear.) Hev, Thoinas Williaws thought the children would be much moie comfortable two in a bed. The Chairman in reply observed that medical excuse for allowing only one to sleep in a bed was the akin diBe,lse, but as there was no complaint of that sort at present, why should they carryon the same plan as when it prevailed Mr Doyle observed that the question was simply a question of space, and they very possibly could arrange without iucurriug great expense. And Mr Lodge per- haps would not object to two children being placed in the same bed while there was no akin disease. Mr Lodge, in reply, said that it was simply a ques- tion of room, and in his opinion there was sufficient room for single beds for all the children if arranged, and it was much safer to have the children in single beds. | Mr Doyle observed there was enough "pace in one room to accomodate twenty children, aud it appeared to him to be more a question of beds than of room. Twenty beds might be placed in the room instead of ten, as the beds which were most ill use at present would not occupy more space than ten of the ordinary beds for two. But it altered the question if more beds were required. Dr, Lodge said the beds iu use at present were single beds about a yard wide. Rev. Mr Lewis thought that two children might very well sleep in a bed of that width. Mr Lodge admitted it, but if one of them was affected with the uktu disease it altered the case. Mr Doyle further said that in case of the skin disease prevailing beyoud theaecommollation the hO\1seat!rded, all the guardians could do would he to refuse to take more in, or to build additional rooms. Hev, T. Williams thought if two childreu might sleep in the sallie bed, except in cases of skin disease, the question might be couriered as settled. The Chairman assured Ùr, Lodge if he was to search St. Asaph he would find no place with children having less than two or three in a bed. After a long conversation, Dr, Lodge referred to a report which had been made some time before, showing the cubic measure of the rooms in which alterations were proposed, in orkler to show that the alterations in question would afford the accommodation wanted with- out providing extra or additional room. Mr Doyle also appeared to concur with the medical officer, and thought he had some recollection that the Board had before decided upon carrying out the suggestion of that repol.. Mr Doyle then accompanied the committee to view the premises where alterations were proposed to be made, and the result was to confian the resolution of the Board which was passed about six weeks ago to pro- ceed with the vagrants' wards at ouce, and leave the other alterations until the summer. Out-door Relief Lists.—A pauper named Robert Roberts, Clwt, Llauaanuan, appeared before the board, and with a cheerful cOllnteJuuce thanked the guardians very much for their past kindness to him, and said that his relief having been discontinued he was not able to go any further without coming to see them again and not knowing whether they were disposed to grant him further out-door relief, he brought a shirt with him to change, in case they thought fit to offer him the house. It appeared that the guardians received a communi- cation to the effect that this old man was the owner of 19 acres of land which entitled him to a vote, and that he had been warned at the late election that if he would not vote in accordance with the views of a certain reli- gious sect, his weekly relief of Is 6d would be disc In: tinned, and the relief had been discontinued a fortuight since, In answer to questions he sai.1 that he holds the Clwt, containing 19 acres of land, uude Dr Rogers, of Londun. He held it in his name but it was managed for his son. The rent was £16 a year, they sublet the half of it for half the original rent. He voted for Col. Biddulph and Sir Watkin at the late election. Robert L'ojd told him that he might vote, that it would do no harlll to him, and he gave his Dame at Denbigh. No one told him that if he would not vote for a certaiu party that he would lose his parish relief. The relieving officer was also, called, and in answer to questions frolD Mr Doyle and others, said, that some- body had told him that the old wan s relief should have been stopped. He had been told so about six weeks ago, iii(I afterwards, but he could not say who had told him that. He believed it was the collector, and that he had been told so the last time by some of the paupers while he was paying them, but could not remember by whom. The officer expressed his own opinion that the applicant should not receive relief, and he expressed himself to that effect when the first application was made, but the applicant's son came beford the Board stating that he was tenaut, and the tioard overruled to give him is 6d per week. Mr John Roberts, Denbigh, remembered the old man's son before the board, and it was evident now that he told an untruth when he stated that he was the tenant, and the disclosure of the fact that the applicant for relief was the tenant of a farm of 19 acres was a suf- ficient reason for discontinuing his relief. Mr Doyle to the oiecer- Why not bring this case for- ward six weeks ago ? The Ollicer-Because the Rev. Mr Pugh told me that the old man was worthy of relief. Mr Doyle-The question is whether influence was carried in any way on account of voting. However there was nothing to show that relief had been discon- tinued in consequence of voting, but the assertion made in the letter to the chairmau. The matter was dropped, and Robert Roberts was told to go without relief. Correspondence.^Communications were received from two places regarding individuals having children in the bouse while they were in a position to maintain them. —The Clerk waa instructed to proceed against them at once. A letter was read from Mr Winston, one of the guar- dians for Rhuddlau, expressing regret that illness pre- vented him from attending.

A mail bag, in consequence of the roughness of the weather on Sunday, fell into the Mersey while being transferred from the Inman steamer City of New York to the tender, for the purpose of being landed. It was picked up shortly afterwards and delivered to the Post- office authorities. EXTRAVAGANCE IN THE THEATRE.—At the opening of the new Gaiety Theatre in the Strand, the ladies in the boxes were supplied gratuitously with scented fans, inscribed with the programme of the eveuing's entei- taiument. This is curiously like to, though at the same time amusingly different from, an arrangement which has long prevailed at a theatre in the plebeian district of Hoxtou. There, each of the audience is regaled with a good hunch of bread and cheese. The competition among theatre lessees is evidently becoming very keen. Before long they will he offering to pay their visitors' cab fares, just as parliamentary candidates pay electors railway fares. Mr Mill has written a letter in reply to one which he has received from Mrs M'Laren, of Edinburgh, thauk- ing him on behalf of the Edinburgh Women's Suffrage Society for his exertions for women's rights, and ex- pressing admiration of his courage in the prosecution of Mr Eyre. Of all my recollections conuected with the House of Commons," says Mr Mill, "that of my hav- ins had the honour of being the fir,! to make th, claim ef women to the suffrage a parliamentaiy question is the moat gratifying, as I tielieve it to have btea the most important public Bervice that circumstances made it in my power to render. This is now a thin accom- plished, and the cause has a sufficient number of sup- porters among the best men in the House of Commons to carry on as much of the contest as can be conducted there. It remains for the intelligent women of the country to give their moral support to the men who are engaged in urging their claims, and to opeu the minds of the less intelligent to the fact that political freedom is the only effectual remedy for the evils which most women are conscious that women suffer. W hatever power I may have to promote this cause outside the House of Commons I shall not fail to exert to the ut- most. Your expressions of sympathy with my feeling., and approbation of my conduct on the subject of the Jamaica atrocities are peculiarly grateful to me, for it has been with especial sorrow that I have seen so many women cold and unmoved at the recital of sufferings which it might have been supposed would at least have aroused some womanly pity and generous indignation against the perpetrators. It is peculiarly among women who are not aware that it is their duty to use their in. telligence on matters of politics that the severest con- demnation of Mr Eyre and his instruments should have been found; for if such women had possessed the warmth of heart which all women ought to have, their feelings would have been revolted at the tortures in- flicted, and they would have considered the reasonings by which these were attempted to be palliated as be. yond their province. As it 10, the conduct of so many among them has afforded one more evidence that the renuueiation of masculine intelligence gives no security for womanly kiudtts^"

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TlAj)¡'; DURING THE PAST WEEK. All the confident predidions of a haril winter as the con- eq'eni?es of an intensly hotsummer have o farh?e, n fslsifl .d by the unusual mildness and heavy ftlods of the present Christmas. It was indeed" great blessing to farmers that they had such fine opportunities this autumn to get on with field work, as they would now have been set fast, especially in low situations, where many milts have been stopped by the riscoft ziestreams. I heyoiing wheat iu places has been washed out of the soil: but the general aspect has continued good through the changes and with a generally even and strong plant, we are shomewhat in danger of a proud growth, and the multiplication of 8lus, while the excessive mildness excites apprehensions for th: early fruit bl()" as the buds in many places are spelling fast. The same fort of weather has ruled in France and the more southerly parts of Europe and Germany, and the once closed ports have in several places been reopened by these vicissitudes. All, however, has been against the condition of newly-thrashed samples, W11jch have frequently been reduced in weight 2 lbs, per bushel by the damp; and yet in spite of this, we h,we had a tinner wheat traie at the last advance, from the conviction that the price was relatively too low as compared with other grain, and that the extra growth would, as 8 consequence, soon be diverted to other uses. If, in fact, in average seisons we only grow about half «.ur immense consumption, should the present yield hava been fifty per cent more, much would still be wanted, not only to meet the usual claims, but to fill up void spring corn, hay, potatoes, and other esculents. In France the decline has also been stayed, and several of the Fronch markets have been rising some parts of Belgium have also shown signs of reaction; while at Hamburg, Danzic, and other Baltic p.,t?, there has been a rise of 2s per qr, and even Hung?ry has hardened, chlefty through her ow rl"11 consumption. New York, althongh rather cheaper in bread- stuffs, has found a fresll, harrier to exports in the rise of freights,, thus more than cancelling the difference.

THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.

The productious, according to the iron master's re- turns, is i,0(>S.o0J tons, showing an increase of 37,0 jJ tons when compared with last year, whilst the utock on hnd, as under- stood, at this date 1.51\8,000 tons aga nst 473,010 tons twelve months ago, thus exhibiting an in< tease of 95,0^ tons, The an. nexed statement shows -.hat there bai been a decrease in th. deliveries for home consumption of 32,000 tons, and for export foreign and coastwise of 03,0J0 tons, making together sb.OOO tong.
