TO CORRESPONDENTS. Friends who have had extra papers will oblige us by remitting the amount in postage stamps, to save the the trouble of book-keeping for such small items, and direct application for payment. We shall hand the postage stamps of "Cymraes" to the Bangor Clothing Club. The Game lists for the six northern counties of Wales have not been sent to us for publication, though our readers are the parties chiefly interested. Correspondents should write legibly, and only on one side of the sheet of paper, with plenty of room between the lines. Iorwerth Glan Aled" will see that we have complied with his request. His plan meets our full approval. Has Mr. O. 0. Roberts no judicious and kind friend to advise him to put a restraint upon his scribbling propensities. The continued indulgence of them may one day or other lead him into error and diffi- culty. We perceive that the Carnarvon Herald people, who we suppose cannot altogether refuse insertion to his diatribes, now stick him in a corner. We hope he will not stick himself in a dilemma. The Poor-Law Commissioners appear to be heartily sick of his communications, and to treat them with the contempt which they deserve. He has been at the morality case again, and they have given him the cut direct, referring him to the resolution of the Guardians—" That the reports in circulation regard- ing the Master of the Workhouse, after a minute investigation before a full Board of Guardians, which was imperatively called for, were proved to have been totally unfounded in which resolution they say that they coincide, and do not consider it necessary to make any further inquiry.

At Mark Lane on Monday, the 30tli ult. English wlient-iiotforeigit wheat mind !-feli two shillings a quarter. On Monday last, at the same market, English wheat fell two shil- lings more The average price of English wheat-foreign wheat is not admitted to the average, a fact that is not generally known- be/ore these tn-o falls took place, was forty-two shillings and a fraction per quarter. This, we contend, is a price at which wheat cannot be grown in this country, provided that landlords exact their rents, overseers their poor rates and other rates, and Government the taxes. Notwithstanding the unremunerative price to which English wheat is falling, and must still further fall, there are men who assert, either from ignorance, or political bias, that the farm- ers are a set of instinctive grumblers, always grumblers, and grumblers without sense or reason. We do not say that all these accusers of the farmers arc destitute of sense or reason, but we contend they are of a class who, if not exactly in the pay of the cotton manufacturers, advocate cheapness from the nioit sordid of human motives, and cherish sympathies in favour of revolution, the abrogation of our nionarchial institutions, and the overthrow of our National Church. The following extract from an article in the Carnarvon Herald we present to our readers as a sample of the ignorance and calumny of one of the class to which we have referred. If the Welsh farmers be what our contemporary says they are, then out- surprise ceases at the support they give him. The farmer who complains without catise-aiid is making money while he pretends lie is losing money—is an impostor and a rogue, and should be punished und despised as a rogue and vagabond. But are the farmers of the Principality, to whom alone his remarks apply, for he has no circulation elsewhere, a confederacy of grumbling rogites ? They must answer the question themselves, if they have any regard for character, any respect for an honourable position in society, any desire to avoid being pointed at in the market place with the finger of scorn and contempt. The extract from the Herald is as follows:- We deny that the faimers are ruined in consequence of free trade, or by the action of free trade. We much question the verity of their being ruined at all, in fact, any more than they have annually, ever since we were born, been in the habit of being ruined. On their own shewing, we never knew a single year in which they were not ruined. High prices ruin them, low prices ruin them. They have been ruined by good harvests, and ruined by bad harvests, and ruined by no harvests at all. Rents have ruined them, and they have been ruined without rents. Fixed scales have ruined them so have sliding scales; and so has a cessation of all scales. Ruin is their staple, their main cable, their anchor, their trust, their hope, and their salvation. They will never do without being ruined and ruinod they wil be to the very end of the chapter." We know not how many years the writer of this pothouse swagger has lived, but we know that lie has not lived long enough to have any reverence for truth. Since the end of the French war in 1815, a period of thirty-five years has elapsed, in which the British farmer has been exposed to perpetual changes of law, never fortified by any self-sustaining confidence that the fiscal regulations affecting his interests when he sowed his corn would be the same when IIt should hare occasion to reap it. It was this craving and unnatural love of change that has for thirty-five years kept the British farmer in a state of anxious insecurity. He toiled on in the hope, the doubtful hope inva- riably, that industry would be its own reward— that honesty would vindicate the justice of its claims. Whether the cultivators of the soil-the most important class, after all, in the United Kingdom—have been honestly dealt with, have been faithfully protected according to the pledges solemnly made in 1841, we need not here say, for our opinions on these unhappy and destruc- tive points are well known. Our arguments are exhausted on this subject, and we dislike repetitions hut with respect to the insolent charges against—and the flippant aspersions cast upon—the farmer, by our contemporary, we cannot use language sufficiently strong- in pro- nouncing them to be a tissue of base and disgraceful misrepresentations. They are not niereIN, vulgar falsehoods, emanating from a simpletons in a state of beer, but offensive lies, used deliberately to mislead and deceive.

We doubt not that the original movers of the Free-trade agitation contemplated and intended the ruin of the Agricultural interest. Neverthe- less, when the injustice and madness of such a sacrifice were generally admitted by the country, the agitators assured both landlords and tenants that the introduction of the proposed policy would not impair, but rather, enhance their interests.— I believe," said Mr. Cobden, in March, 1844, that land would be more valuable in this country, if you had at once an entire abolition of the com laws;" and in May, of the preceding year, the same oracle announced, in the House of Commons, "If we have Free-trade, the landlords will have as good rents as now." Time, that works wonders, seems to have wrought a wondrous change in the opinions of the Manchester patriot, for we find him, in January, 1850, using these words,—" But I do say now that this is simpiy and purely a question of rent, and if the farmers cannot carry on their business, it is because they pay too high a rent in proportion to the amount of their produce." Let the land- lords reduce their rents" was the reply from Manchester. Farm high was the answer from Tamworth, when on the commencement of the great experiment," the farmers described their losses and shewed the danger of their situa- tion and the chorus of Free-traders echoed the responses and said Down with the rents, and trust in scientific farming." The theorists of the party then assured the Agriculturists that they would suffer only temporary inconvenience, such as is inevitably incident to transition but that in the end all would go well with them. The stub- born farmers were not yet convinced, for they thought that the loss of all profit from their indus- try and the gradual decrease of their capital betokened results from the experiment which they could hardly be expected to bear. The organs of the Cosmopolites merely laughed at the tron- bles of the complainants, and facetiously declared that they saw no symptoms of England becoming a desert according to the prophecies of the Pro- tectionists. See a quotation from the Carnarvon Herald in the preceding article. Politicians like the Free-traders, who parade inflexible theories as their guides, and, in practice, test everything by a mere pecuniary standard, could not contemplate the possibility of men being such fools as to stick to the soil where they had been born and bred, and with which all their associations were connected, unless they were pocketing money; and therefore refused to believe that the farmers were submitting to ruinous losses in the hope of better times. Now, however, the relinquishment of holdings, the probability of which was denied, has become, to an alarming extent, necessary, from the completed or imminent ruin of the farmers. We saw a short time since, in an Essex paper, advertisements of no less than 90 farms to let in one district of that county. A few days since, a correspondent of the Morning Herald says, An excellent landlord, not far from Tenbury, has upwards of 2000 acres thrown up and now on his own hands. Another, not far from Winchester, has about 4000 acres untenanted. In Berks, Surrey, Wilts, &c., it is an every day occurrence." The farmers of Shropshire recently presented an address to their landlords, calling upon them to assist in equalizing the sacrifices of the Agricul- tural classes, and to take their proper position in the decisive contest which must soon take place between the Protectionists and the supporters of the existing policy. They then stated that the farmers may be now divided into three classes:- first, those who are farming out of independent capital j second, those who are obliged to make continual encroachments on their working capital; and third, those who being in arrear with their rent and in debt, continue their industry only by the sufferance of their landlords and other creditors. If such be a correct representation of the general condition of the tenant class throughout the coun- try-and we fear that it is but too faithful,- where can this mischief end ? Is it not evident that the farmers must be utterly sacrificed as a class? And what does such a sacrifice import? Besides the degradation, the sufferings, and the despair of a large and important section of the commhnity, which has ever been distinguished for its honesty, its loyalty, its love of order, and its vigorous defence of national institutions—consi- derations which Free-traders might repudiate as verging on sentimental isin-the ruin of the farm- ers of necessity involves the ruin of the labourers, the increase of pauperism, and the diminution of the numbers of those who have to bear the burden. We may judge of what is likely to take place by what has already actually occurred. The same cor- respondent of the Morning Herald to whom we have already alluded, makes the following state- ment in his letter:—"Perhaps it is not generally known that for dozens of parishes together, last winter, the weekly wages were sunk to six shillings to able bodied men, and on one occasion half-a- dozen were brought before me from one parish, to enforce the payment of poor-rates on their wretched cottages and about a quarter of an acre of garden ground at the outside." We cannot but believe that when the actual condition and the prospects of the agricultural classes are fully made known to the public, a general desire and determination will be manifested to do them tardy justice, and to arrest the progress of those evils which now threaten their very ex- istence. We doubt not that The National Association, which has taken upon itself the task of collecting and diffusing information on all topics relating to the great Industrial question, will soon afford the whole community ample and fair means of judging as to the real condition and wants of all the Indus- trial classes, especially the Agriculturists, as affected by the continued development of the pre- sent system of unchecked foreign competition.

We have no objection to societies whose object is to promote agricultural improvement, and teach the farmer how he can combine economy with profit, and increase his produce by the exercise of his skill. On the contrary, this encouragement by teaching, by competition, and by means of prizes, more valuable in a moral than an intrinsic sense, cannot be too highly commended, for it is of the highest order of patriotism. How much more, then, should we be pleased when all this is done by an individual, as in the case of the recent Penrhyn Agricultural meeting? It was quite delightful to witness the interest which the Hon. Colonel Pennant took in his great work on Wednesday, and the cordial assistance which all his officers, from the highest to the lowest, rendered in carrying out his wishes. One of the great evils of Ireland, and which has prostrated her in the dust, was the rapacity, neglect, and reckless imprudence of the land. lords. England may yet be saved by an opposite line of conduct—by the determination of her nobility and aristocracy to make common cause w ith the practical cultivator of the soil- by not only instructing the farmer, but also by helping him ill a generous spirit, in this day of his severe struggle for existence.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL SUMMARY. The steam-ship Asia arrived at Liverpool on Satur- day night with New York advices to the 25th. The bill for the suppression of the slave trade in the dis- trict of Columbia has received the sanction of the Legislature. A bill has also passed, authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to permit vessels from the lltitish North American provinces to load and unload in the ports of the United States, in the event of a similar privilege being extended to vessels of the United States in those provinces. Several attempts have been made to procure an alteration in the tariff; but they have been unsuccessful. The excitement about Jenny Lind still continued, the sixth concert having been attended by between 8,000 and 9,000 persons. The dates from San Francisco are to the 15th of August. The news from the mines was still of the most favourable kind. The miners were beginning to make use of machinery, to facilitate their acquisi tion of the golden treasures of the earth. At Carron's Creek lumps worth 19,000 dollars had been obtained by two men in two and a-half days—one lump weighed eleven pounds, as smooth as glass, and absolutely pure. At Feather River Dam, seven men obtained 12,000 dollars in five days. There has been a serious failure in the city of Sacramento. On the 14th of August, there occurred in the same city a dreadful riot between the squetters and the real estate owners it was it- tended with loss of life. It was said that Sacramento city had been reduced to ashes by fire, and that the squatters were receiving reinforcements from the mines. From the Havannah, we learn that a considerable number of troops had arrived from Spain, and that orders had been issued for the formation of a corps of 18,000 men for the protection of Cuba. The officers of the two vessels in which the invading force of Gen. Lopez went to Cuba have been condemned to eight ,%apr',z' conanemeiit, with hard labour in chains. The Canadian Parliament has been prorogued to the 23rd inst. The potato rot was making destructive progress in Upper Canada and the New England States. The Sandwich Island letters reach to the 13th of July. Everything was going on prosperously, and the ?.ntem p ate([ la?v had been passed to enable fo- reigners to hold land in fee simple. The advices from India state that the rains in some of the presidencies had been excessive, and done con- siderable injury, while in others the deficiency had been so great as to cause much more inconvenience. The Governor-General was in Thibet, beyond the frontier, a mountain district in the territory of tho Rajah of Berchir. Sir Charles Napier was expected to leave the northern provinces in November, and pro- ceed down the Indus, through Sciude, to Bombay.— The decrease in the revenue, with an increase of ex- penditure, was producing a good deal of apprehension. For the first time in the history of our Indian Empire, it is sa ill, the Governor-General had resolved to borrow money for the improvement of the country. The statement by the last mail, that the Nizam had effec- tually put down his refractoay Nawab of Elichporc, was premature; the Nawab was beaten in one battle, but was so little annihilated that he has since been able to give his master's troops a worse beating in a subsequent engagement. On the 9th of August he gained a considerable victory; the people of his dis- trict aided him; and the Nizam's troops are in a state of mutiny. All these things bode a necessity for our miwdv interference. The President of the French Republic held a grand review at St. Mam- on Friday. The troops were drawn up in two columns, one of attack and the other of defence. The President having the linister of War on his left, and General Changarnier on his right, first passed along the front of the division of attack, which was commanded by General Neumayer, having under him Generals Julien, Dulac, and Dangel. The brigade of defence was under the command of' General Courtiges, the Commandent of Vincennes. The manoeuvres commenced ininiediatel)- after the President had passed along the line. A variety of j movements of attack and defence were made with great precision. At noon the President went to the left bank of the Marne, to witness the operation of throwing a pontoon bridge over the ri ver, which was executed in less than ha!f an hour. The filing off afterwards commenced amidst cries of,, Vive le Presi- dent Vive la ltepubliqueAt the conclusion of the filing off, the troops, who were in number about 20,000, marched towards the fort of the Faisanderie, where they partook of refreshments. At half-past five, the President returned to the Elysee. On Satur- day, he attended the annual funeral mass in memory of his mother, Queen Ilortense, which is celebrated at Rueil, here she and the Empress Josephine are buried. The President was everywhere most enthu- siastically received. The French Parliamentary Coni- mia-sion sat on Monday, when nearly 200 representa- tives who had arrived from various parts of the country, assembled in the Salle des Conferences, and held conversation with several members of the Com- mission, 'they expressed much dissatisfaction with the conduct of Louis Napoleon at the late reviews, particularly in distributing wine and cigars to the soldiers. The Minister of War justified the proceed- ings of the President of the Republic, and denied that he had acted from any unworthy motive. The review fixed for the 10th inst., however, would be the las;. General Changarnier has intimated his intention not to allow the regiment which cried Vive l'Empereur at a former review to lie present on the next occasion. -Prosecutions i France against the press are daily increasing, either for seditious libels, or for not affix- ing the signatures of the writers to the several articles published. The Gazette de France announces two prosecutions against itself, the Vatioiial one, the As- semble Nationale one, the Siecle one, and the Erene- mcnt three. The accounts from Cassel state, the ministry still continued to issue fresh decrees, but they were stub- bornly disobeyed by the corporation authorities who pronounced them illegal. Lieutenant General Haynau was said to be determined to enforce obedience at the point of the bayonet, but it was deemed doubtful whether the soldiery could be depended upon for such a service. The Permanent Commission, nothing daun- ted by the repeated threats of the government, had determined to impeach General Haynau for high treason, and had given orders to have the accused arrested. On the 5th, General Haynau had declared the Burgher Guard dissolved, but the latter refused to give up their arms. General Haynau then ordered the troops of the line to disarm them, when the officers refused to obey his orders. He attempted to call a court martial, but was himself accused of exceeding his powers. A deputation was sent to the Elector at Wilhelmsbad representing the facts. The city remains perfectly quiet. Friedrichstadt had not surrendered on the 5th. The Danes continue the defence of the town with a per- tinacity and courage which are surprising. The bom- bardment was continued during the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday without intermission the town was set on fire in several places, another of their outworks taken, and still they held out. The Danes are very cautious and sparing of their ammunition. Not a single shot is thrown away upon chance. The whole of their fortifications have alreadv been destroyed, several of their guns dismounted, and they have only the protection which the high Fyderdyke and a large block-house still afford. The inhabitants of Fried- richstadt had all left the town.

BANGOR AND NORTH WALES BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY.—The first annual meeting of the members of this society was held on Monday evening last, at the Infant School in this citv. It. M. Griffith, Esq., in the chair. From the directors, report and the i statement of the accounts it appears 317 shares have been subscribed for, on whien .£1076 8s. has been paid, £842 5s. IOd, is due from eight of the members on mortgages of their several properties; and the society has a balance in its bankers' haud, of .£2+1 Is, 6d. The profit realised on the year's business appears to be very ample. The retiring directors. Messrs. R. M. Griffith, Hugh Roberts, T. Walding, H. Lloyd Jones, W. Jones, and T. Evans, were re-elected; and Nfr. Thomas Davies added to their number. A vote of thanks was passed to the directors for their services during the past year; and the society proceeded with its general business. We are glad to find this society in so prosperous and flourishing a condition, and that it roll of members consists of so goodly a number as 155. From :nI:\til its directory, and the business like nn in 'iel, it, r, are .Il d ucte d we highly recommend it to our fellow-citizens and the inhabitants of the adjoining county, and more especi- ally to the working classes, for whosc especial benefit it is designed. We consider such societies entitled to all praise, as we know of no other way in which a member of the classcs to which we have alluded to can so easily obtain a dwelling of his own, or so advan- tageously invest his savings as through their agency. We hope shortly to return to the subject at greater length. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.—The revising barrister for the county of Carnarvon, Charles Watkin Williams Wynne, Esq., held a court at the Vavnol Arms, in Bangor, on Wednesday last, for revising the list of "oters.

DENBIGH TOWN COUNCIL. The annual meeting of this body took place in the Council Chamber, on Monday the 7th inst., and at the clock struck twelve, the Chair was taken by the major, Richard Roberts, Esq. The following aldermen and councillors were also present :-Aldermen: R. C'un.ming Esq., )1.1), R. Lloyd Williams, Eaq, NI.D.. Edward Edwards, Esq. J. N. Simon, John Williams, Esq. )1.1).; Richard Williams, Esq. Glyn Ar- thur; John Twiston, Esq., Denbigh; Mamwatin.' Clkgg, Esq., (Jwaenynog; I'. N. Roberts, Esq., surgeon; (ico Griffith, Esq., Garn; Mr. W Parry, glover; )1. Parry drupgUt Nfr. Hugh Roberts, grocer. The business commenced with the Town Clerk pro- ducing and reading the Inspector's report for the jear ending the 23rd day of Sept., 18;)1), which showed that the expenditure of the year had not exceeded the receipts. The Mayor was about stating to the meeting that the next part of the day's business would be to receive ten- ders for lighting the town during the winter season, when Nir. George Griffith, of Cam, entered the room, took his seat at the council table, aud before his worship ha J had time to state fully to the meeting the terms of the tender received from the Denbigh Gas and Coke Company, Mr. Griffith interposed, and addres ed the meeting in a very warm and determined manner against entering into a fresh contract for the lighting of the town under the pro- visions of the same Act of Parliament as the town had been lighted since the establishment of the gas work' in 1«46. To enable onr readers to understand Mr. Griffith's GU- jection, we deem it necessary to state that a Gas and Coke Company was formed ill Denbigh, in UHf), and the Town Council availed themselves of the bstli see. of the Municipal Corporations' Act, whereby they assumed the power of Inspectors under the 3.1 and 4th Win. 4, c. fll¡. for lighting the borough of Denbigh with gas. [r, Gridith complained that the Inspectors ha.1 agreed with the gas proprietois for lighting the borough, which extends two mites east, wet, north, and south, whfreas they ought to have contracted for lighting the town only, and he read the 77th section of the la-t mentioned Act, which gives the construction to be put upon that Act, and which is as follows ;— And be it further enacted, that the powers given to watch and light any parish shall be understood to be given to any wapentake, division, city, borough, liberty, township, market town, franchise, hamlet, tithing, pre- cinct, and chapelry, or parts within the same, aud that where the word parish is used, it shall be understock to extewl to any parts within the same, all,1 that the powers given to a churchwarden shall be understood to be given to any chupelwarden, overseer, or other person usually calling any meeting or parochial business and that the words Justices of the Peace for the county, city, borough, town, division, tithing, shire, liberty, or place in which the parish which may adopt the provisions of this Act shall be situate; and the word ratepayer" to include all persons assessed to and paying rates for the reLef of the poor." After reading the above section, Mr. Griffiths con- tinued his address, in which he accused the Town Coun- cil of having availed themselves of the provisions of the Sth section, with ,t view of serving their own interest, and to wilfully defraud those of the inhabitants of Henllan and Llanhaiadr who resided within the borough, and alledged that they neither required nor derived any benefit from the gas; yet, under the present system, they were compelled to pay the gas-rate, which, he alledgtd, was a gross wrong and an iiiipoiitioii and more particu- larly so when there were only six lamps in those parts of the parishes of Henllan and Llanrhuiadr which were comprised in the borough, for which the two parishes jointly had to pay during the contract th monstrous sum of between £11 and t.I2 per lanip whilst the parish of Denbigh had about fifty lamps, for which was only paid about 1'2 per lamp. Here the speaker made some allu- sions to a conversation he had had with Mr. Parry, the druggist, upon the Nb-. Pari y r "ad begged to be heard for a few moments, and we under- stood him to say, that as Llanrhaiaddr were allowed the privileges of the borough-stich as the use of the light of the gas when they attended the market, and upon all other occasions, when they had business to transact in the tOWII, and more especially when they claimed the right of controlling the business of the town, he could not see that the levying of the rate was so great an in- justice as stated by Mr. Griffiths; yet, if Mr. Griffiths would take the sense of the inhabitants of the town upon the subject, and if a majority appeared in favour of con- fining the late to the parish of Denbigh alone, he for one would rathei pay double the amount he now did of gas-rate than promote further the disagreeable agitation which Mr. Griffiths had created. Mr. Griffith then proceeded further with his al!tlr(", and said, that until he could succeed in his efforts to rid the parishioners of Henllan and I.lanrhaiadr of the in- justice complained of, he would follow up agitating the question, and would continue it as long as he lived, and should he be called away- ere he bad achieved his objeet, he had very serious thoughts of leaving a sum of money for the purpose of following it up, even after his death. To give anything like a verbatim ifport of what rr. Griffith said, is out of our powtr, but we believe the above to be a fair sketch of his argument. Indeed, had it been possible to have noted down the whole of Ir. (iriffith's speech, it would neither be wise nor proper to lay it before the public, for we regret to say that he did not hesitate in appi) iiig strong and abusive terms to the Inspectors geiierally-so much so, that during the great- est part of the meeting, there reigned a warlike f"e!u,¡;, and to illustrate these remarks, we need only saj, that one gentleman who very naturally felt aggrieved at some of Mr. Griffith's personal remarks, threatenell to knock his head off .if they were intended to apply to him, Ir. Gritfith replying that if he did so, he would return tho compliment, (of course forgetting iu. the heat of his rage, that if the first threat had been successfully carried into effect, lie would neither have eyes to see, nor power to make good his words.) The subject is one upon which a strong feeling is en- tertained in the town and neighbourhoool-the inhahitants of the town being decidedly favourable to the adoption of the rate-while the residents in the country hold as decided an opinion against its adoption-the arguments 011 the one side being, that under the Act househohleis pay fourpenee in the pound, while the occupiers of lanol otily one peiiiiy and on the other hand the nOIl- residents aruing that the lighting of the town i, solely beneficial to the parishioners of Denbigh. e hardly think that the course Nir. Griffiths adopts will ultimately end in success, and would suongly recommend the ue of more courteous and- less offensive language, for such epitheths as were applied to so respectable a body as met ill the coullcil all Tuesday last, can only tend to r011'C the strongest opposition to his efforts. We trust we shall 1,4 commended for not publishing the "ariou p(,r5onahit i which were exchanged at this meeting, ami this we d,), iu the hope, that upon reflection, Mr.Griffites will retrain from applying similar term- UpOll au) future occasion. As SOOI1 as peace was restored, DrCnmming rose, and we understood him to say, that his residence, 1J"lhfrj,l, with the lands belonging to i:, was situated p:utI ;;1 Henllan, Denbigh, and Liar-rho iadr, alUlthal he paid a gas rate for each parish aud that cheerfully, and with a strong conviction that the lighting of the town of D"ldih was not onl) a boon, but a source of protection to the rural districts as well as to the inhabitants of the town, inasmuch, that in cases of robbery parties were mere liable to be detected in their wicked practices, when con- veying stolen property into the town, than if it was in utter darkness; and for this and various other reasons, he would propose that the tender of the Denbigh Gas and Coke Company be accepted for the lighting of the town for the eusnillg season. Dr. Cununing's proposithn was seconded h: lit. Edwards, of Hall-square. Mr. Geo. Grilifth then propesed the following amend- ment :—" That the council ceases to be inspectors from this dav. aud that no new contract be enterc.1 illto with the gas proprietors for lighting t'1" borough or town ot I Denbigh, except under the 3rd and 4th William H • cap. I M0, which will enable them to do full justice to the ratc- payers, and to light the town as efficiently as at present. Mr. t'legg seconded the above amendment, and tlw following is Ihe return of the poll — I-'or Dr. Cumming's motion the following gentlemen voted:—Dr.HoydWiUmns; ))t.WiUuins, the Cr?'.c; Edward Edwards, Esq., Richard Williams, Esq., Mi. W. Parry, glover; Mr. Purrr, druggist; and Mr. Hugh Roberts, grocer. For Mr. Griffiths' amendment, ttainw?rin? Cte?g, E,q., John Twiston, E,q., J. ■ Simon, Esq., ..nd Dr. P. X. Roberts. For the original motion, for the amendment, 5; majority, 3. The :\Ialor did not vote. Dr. P. N. Roberts then in./ ed thè following proposi- tioii That no new contract be entered into for a longer period than two months fion, thi. date," which ptoposi- tion was also put to the vote, and was supported and op- posed IJ) the same parties as abore the ayes and the noes being the same. Here the business of the meeting terminated, when i Mr. Edwards, of Hall-square, proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his efficient co¡¡du.:t in the chair. The proposition was seconded by Mr. George Griffith, and carricd. Immediately on the chair being vacated by the Mayor, ;111-. Griffith was assailed in a vciy insulting manner by a pei-son who had been listening to the proceedings, aud | who it is said is connected with one of the Chester papers. We hope this is untrue, as we know the cuntluctùrs of those papers do i.t wish to degrade the profession, but rather have a d sire, like ourscire-, to uphold its re- spectability.
