CORRESPONDENCE. THE DENBIGHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,—In reference to the debate amongst the county magistrates at Ruthin, on Thursday last, upon the subject of the grant for Llangollen New Court House, I think it is due to both Colonel Biddulph and Mr Griffith, that the spirit of their speeches should have been more fully given by your reporter. On the one hand Mr Griffith, in the interest of the public, advo- cited publicity in reply Colonel Biddulph argued that publicity had been obtained by every magistrate having baen written to, and the general public having been informed by advertisement. I do not think the remarks of Mr Griffith merit the character of acrimonious" nor those of Colonel Biddulph "curt"—unless indeed by the latter term your reporter would mean, short and pointeti, in contradistinction to the long speech of Mr Griffith. Yours truly, 12th January, 1864. J. P. [Having submitted the above letter to our reporter, he accepts the explanation given by this writer as more aptly expressing the meaning he intended to convey.— Ed. W.A.] ) r THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY J I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Sir,—I observed in your report of the inquiry before the coroner on the body of Mumford, who was killed on the railway betweon the Rutliin-road and Bersham bridges, that George Jones stated that the company were much to blame for leaving the fence-rail down near the Rut'iin-road bridge. Now there can be no doubt in the world that it was through the gap that the poor man wandered on to the line, and if this fact can only be proved to the satisfaction of a jUlY, the railwcy company would be liable to damages. Notwithstanding this, the gap is there still, and there it will remain, I suppose, until there is another man killed. This is too bad. Yours, &e., A WunKi?G MAN, ————————————————— THE LATE ACCIDENT AT THE GREEN PIT. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Sir,—Permit me through your valuable journal to say a word in favour of our worthy manager, W. Evans, Esq. A more generous and sympathising gentleman we would not wish to have. He has been amongst us nearly 16 mouths, and he is highly beloved by all his workmen, particularly for his kind and sympathising efforts towards the sufferers at the late sad explosion. Considering the awful condition these works were in when he commenced his management, he has done wonders. We have been given to understand that a new mineral agent has been appointed, a man of ability and thorough knowledge, in which we all rejoice. We called upon our worthy manager on Monday, for the purpose of considering the course he intends to adopt to secure an increase of wages and lie discussed the subject with us like a gentleman. The deputation snanimously resolved to return to their work, they were uo pleased with the interview.—I remain, yours, &c., ItouEiiT RICH uws, Collier. BEWARE OF THE URINALS! I To tlte E(litor of tlte lyi-exlbaiib Acivei*tisci I Sir,-I have just witnessed the first of these unsight- ly and unseemly commodities ? which is situate Hope- road dear the old Barn. Allow me through your columns to enter my protest against so atrocious an encroachment 11^011 public decency and public safety. As an encroachment upon pablic decency, I count it qnite out of character to place so delicate a speciable opposite a class of villas which as Iret have not been surpassed in unique beauty as Bryedwyn, together with the Bryn- y-ffynon Chapel, which is attended by a large povtioa of the respectable :inliabitanls lofhis town. Besides it is qvite unsafe. Any one leaving bus;ness at a late hour, or meeting, or go-ng to meet the last train may b3 easily pounced upon out of this den or hiding place of the misceean-it, and be robbed ere he is aware of his danger. There can be no necessity ifor such an erection as this urinal; because the distance between :any of the hotels and the railway station is not that length to call for such au ontrag: upon public decency. A urinal opposite to a public house would be a nuisance-let it be near to one. But to place one on a road traversed by the most numer- ous ratepayers of the town ought not to be allowed; and I for one should be uiest happ to move for its removal.— I am Sir, yours truly, Thurday Evening, Jaa. 14. A HEAVY RATRPAYER LETTER FROM "AMELIA." I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Dear Mr. Editor,—I often have to apologise for not writing to you regularly, but I have lately had the Tic- dolerux so badly that I have been quite unable to do anything, I suppose it is the weather. There has been a deal of weather about lately. Its Vad enough to have the Ticdolerux, but to have a family squabble going on when you are in pain its more than flesh can bear. Uncle ha.s lately taken to Homcepathy, and when- ever any little thing is the matter with him he goes over to Chester to some homcepathic doctor. Grandmother thinks lie is daft, and she quarrels with him every meal we sit down to, especially as uncle is always teazing me to go to Chester to the liomccpathic doctor, who, he says, could cure the ticdolerux in no time. Grandmother only believes in one doctor, and if he was to die, I think she would die too. I like the youngdoctors myself. If there is anything new I think they must know it, but somehow they dont appear to be able to cure the tic- dolerux. Some say that old women are the best for something that way. I have a strong leaning towards the youag doctors myself—I think they must know. I don't see how the homcepathist medicine can cure you- the doses are so small. What uncle takes are like pins heads. Such things a3 these can't cure anybody. Mary says she never troubles any doctor. When she is out of sorts she takes a little treacle and buttermilk, and she is all right again immediately. Oh this pain is coming on again. And what makes it worse is the incessant tolling of THE NEW BELL AT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. I I dare say it is a very beautiful bell as you say in your paper. But the tolling of a bell like that always makes me melancholy- I wonder why they toll it so much. I suppose its like a child with a new toy, they cannot have enough of it. Grandmother says they are not al- lowed to have bells anywhere only at the Church of England, and she feels sure the vicar will make them take it down again. I wonder whether the Mayor likes it or not. He is a great favourite with the Roman Catholics. I started with a friend on the Sunday after Christmas-day to see the dressing of the new chmrch but on the way she said-" Let's go to the Roman Catho- lic Church, its all the same." So we went. The sing- ing was beautiful. But there were a many things that we could not understand. There The bell is tolling now while I am writing. One thing is certain—it throws the bell at the new church in the shade. Our front door bell is almost as large as the bell at the new church. Grandmother says the new church will never do, because they have no church rates to support it. The voluntary principle will never do for churches she says. It will only do for chapels. Do you think, she says, we should ever have had such a fine set of bells at the old church, if they had depended on the voluntary principle ? Never, she says. The church will come to nothing if they don't keep up church rates. There was a church somewhere in England that tumbled to pieces for want of a church rate. Wrexham parish church is not kept in repair as it ought to be, there has been so much squabbling about church rates, owing to the Dissenters being so stupid. Grandmother says she cannot understand the Dissenters refusing. The church is always open to them. They make use of the chimes to go to chapel by, and they use the church clock to tell the time by. Grandmother is very pa-ticular to have our house clock set by the church clock. She had it stopped once because Mary had set it by the Town Hall clock. YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE. I We were at a friend's house in the country on Sun- day last and they toltl us that some gentleman" had been there canvassing for a newspaper that was to be published in Flintshire and Denbighshire. The old man that was canvassed by the gentleman (he is a dist- ant relation of ours the old man is) said he did not care about a paper that was published so far off-he took the Wrexham paper in. The gentleman" who was canvas- sing then took a pistol out of his pocket, and said he would make him take the paper. The old man was so fr;glitened that lie told him to put his name down. The Ii crentleman" then left the house and discharged his pistol at a. policeman, because he said something against his paper. This is the way they do in America, I believe. But I am sorry to see such a pract ce introduced here. THE WALK ACROSS MR. FITZHUGH'S PARK ±ias caused a good deal of talk at our tea table for the last month. Grandmother thinks every gentleman ought to have his park to himself, or else how can you call it his park if everyone has a right to go in it. Uncle, who mostly sticks up for the gentry, says the rights of the public are quite as sacred as the rights of individuals, and often a deal more ancient. If the colliers who go across the park daily would put their best clothes on per- haps there would not be so much objection to them. But then there are the besom stail cutters, the rabbit catch- ers and the pheasaiat shooters that go prowling about, making the footpath the excuse for being there. The bost plan would be for Mr Fitzbugh to provide a large van to carry all these people across the park, and have it shut up like a prison van, so that the people in the van could not see the park, the besom stails, nor the game. Or, perhaps a tunnel would, be better. The peo- ple who an doing the Wrexham drainage would Boon make a tunnel under the park. THE NEW ALDERMAN I Hai surprised everybody. Uncle was always a "red" man, but he tamed quite white when he heard of the appointment of the new alderman. Grandmother used to love the Mayor, but she is quite iadignant at him lifting a stranger over the heads of such men as Mr Edgworth, Mr Painter, Mr T. E. Jones, Mr Overton, Mr Daniel Jones, Mr Davenport, Mr Meredith Jones, Mr Thomas Jones, Mr Rocke, senr., Mr Michael Gum- mow, Mr Stalker, Mr Edgerley, Mr Wm. Bayley, Mr Edward Rogers, Mr James Jaekson, Mr D. Edwards, Mr Catherall, Mr Charles Griffiths, Mr A. W. Edwards, Mr Joseph Jackson, Mr T. D. Samuels, Mr R. Rogers, and a host of others, outside the council, if the new alderman must come from outside the council. The II reds" will never get nncle's vote again if it would sive their lives. He always used to give a. pound to- wards the election. And when the present Mayor was elected a member of the council he gave two pounds, but he says he shall stitch his pockets for the future if that i 4 the way they are going to put a new man in one of the big j{ b\ ofifces of the old town. I never knew grandmot'n* II and uncle to agree so well before. Both denosnce this | appointment of alderman with all their might. Grand- mother says uncle ought to have been Alderman. And uncle says grandmother ought to have been one. They jetty beautiful about it. Mary says her father has paid taxes for fifty years, and she thinks he ought to have been made Alderman before Mr Walker, who has not been in Wrexham fifty months. Yours, &c., AMELIA. AN EISTEDDFOD FOR THE ENGLISH. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,—Some time back, I asked the question through your columns, why the English were not able to get up a literary meeting something similar to the Cambrian Eisteddfod ? At the time no notice was taken of the query I proposed, and I should have let the matter rest had I not heard the other day, that it is the intention of certain individuals in the country to try if they cannot be the means of introducing, among the English, Eisteddfodan or Sessions of a literary character on the model of the Welsh Eisteddfod. Can you see, Mr. Editor, any reason why such an undertaking should not be a great success, and what is more, a great boon to the would-be literati among us poor Anglo-Saxons. There is little wonder that our Welsh brethren should be so far a-head of us in the art of composition, for I have been told that even the babies in arms are among the competitors at a Welsh Eisteddfod. Seriously speaking though, it is high time we had something of the sort to encourage literary tastes among our young men it is all very well to say to a fellow. improve yourself without the hope of a reward or prize," but you'll And very few who care about doing so. Besides, we are very far behind other towns in this respect. You can hardly go into any town, the same size as ours, without meeting with a debating class, young men's Christian association, or something of the kind—some institution or other to draw forth any latent talent which a man may possess. Here we have nothing of the sort, the year through. If a young man write an essay, or any other species of composition, lie is doomed neither to know its faults nor its excellencies, as it is never brought to the searching test of a competitive examination. The Welsh Eisteddfod, I take to be more intended as a means of fostering and encouraging a literary taste among the people, than to preserve the language from the encroachments of the English. So would an Eng- lish Eisteddfod (or whatever you may like to call them) improve the taste and heighten the moral tone of many who, as yet, have never turned their attention to any- thing in the literary line. There would be no difficulty in either finding noble- hearted individuals who would subscribe towards such an object, or in having candi iates to compete for prizes when offered-I have yet to learn that an Englishman is less fond of money, or public display of his talents than a Welshman so that I have no doubt there would be no lack of competitors. Should I be rightly informed that it is the intention to get up an Eisteddfod in the neighbourhood, the prin- cipal element in which is to be English, I sincerely hope their efforts will be crowned with success, and that the young men of Wrexham will not hold back but try their hand at competing with their country brethren, and should we in the town follow their example and attempt a similar thing, we should only be too glad of their help and co-operation. Hoping some one will take up the matter of a grand English Eisteddfod in Wrexham, I am, yours January 12th, 1864. ANGLO-SAXON. I

THE IRON TRADE. WOLVEBHAMTON, Thursday.—There has been a very numerous attendance in Birmingham to-day of both buyers and sellers, for it has been quarter day. Repre. eentatives from Manchester, Liverpool, and London, were present in force desirous of placing orders on terms for forward delivery, encouraging to all but the experienced members of the trade; but as there are now on the list of ironmasters in South Staffordshire and East Worcester- shire very few names of men who are not of practical abi- lity in their profession, and who, moreover, have not had experience enough to make them very cautious in their current transactions, very little business was done which was not of the safest description; and as valuable orders came to hand immediately after the circulars of makers were sent out, announcing the prices of the preliminary meeting, makers are now undisposed to take orders at less than 5s a ton rise upon all denominations but bars, which may still be bought at £9 10s. As a rule custom- ers who want the iron for bona fide use were ready to give the extra 5s; but this price is not sufficient for several makers who have seent out a second batch of air- culars declaring a rise on hoops, sheets, and plates, tll 10s. This course has somewhat checked orders; but other orders must soon arrive, for the other districts are even fuller of orders than this one. A northern house has plate orders enough to occupy them a year, and the Mid- dlesboro' men have made their plates -tl2. In South Wales, bars are being sold at < he works at £ 8 10s, Pigs are very firm, but the prices to which they have been put up preclude purchases. Much iron was, however, bought before the last rise. Millmen have to-day issued a no- tice that they shall cease to work for, and will demand arrears from all employers who do not once give a rise of ten per centwage8. IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINO.—The quarterly meeting of ironmasters, merchants, &c., took place at the Town Hall, Birmingham, on Thursday. There was a large attendance, nearly all the first-class and other firms of South Staffordshire, East Worcestershire, and the neighbouring districts, being represented. Al- though the transaction were not upon a very extensive scale, owing to the well-sustained demand which has lasted for some months past, there was a good deal of business done. The recent advances in the price of iron formed one of the leading topics for conversation-the opinion being that, notwithstanding the present great demand on account of the home and foreign markets the activity will continue for some time to come. It was stated that the inquiries for best brands of finished iron were remarkably numerous that the principal houses had large orders; and that many firms were not disposed to accept fresh contracts just now. The scar- city of coal is much felt in this district. Old pits have been re-opened, and the colliers, in many cases in- duced to make full time; but still the supply is not by any means adequate to the demand. Large quantities have of late been brought from other quarters, and yet there is not sufficient for existing requirements. With pig iron there was a fair business done at good prices. The representatives of North Staffordshire houses spoke in favourable terms of the animation now characterising operations in that part of the country, and the Shrop- shire masters appeared equally satisfied with the state of trade in their locality. With Spain and Portugal there is a large trade doing; the gradual development* of the railway system in those countries having given in- creased vitality to the iron trade of this and other dis- tricts.

LONDON SAYINGS AND DOINGS. I (From our own Correspondent.) -3 -Ti a __1_- '1_11_ THE great event of the week, IN Wiiicii IIOLOIIU UWEIITRS in London, but every person in the kingdom, feels the largest amount of interest, is the accouchmeut of the Princess of Wales. Nothing (scarcely even the birth of the Prince of Wales himself) has ever created a more cordial feeling of satisfaction than the announcement which reached the daily newspaper offices here shortly before midnight, that an infant Prince had been born to gladden the hearts of his youthful parents. And when, in the morning, the rumour was confirmed by the papers, who printed the statement in their largest type, there was not only much pleasure expressed, but in numer- ous instances downright enthusiasm shown, and that by starch, money-getting, matter-of-fact City men. The copy of Sir George Grey's letter to the Lord Mayor, announcing the fact, which was posted early on the Charlotte-row side of the Mansion House, was eagerly read by crowds during the day; and when the members of the Stock Exchange met, they prefaced their midas- like proceedings by not only singing the National Anthem, but in giving a haarty ringing cheer for the Royal Family and the little stranger." This was a somewhat curious incident, and took large numbers of persons passing along completely by surprise. But if there was surprise felt on the Stock Exchange by those not aware of what was about to take place, what must be the consternation at Frogmore Lodge on Friday evening, when, after the return ef the Princess from en- joying herself upon the ice at Virginia water-and upon which occasion, I am told, she looked pale but buoyant in spirits—the fact was officially announced, that she would very shortly become a mother It may be im- agined, but cannot well be described. No preparation seemed to have been made, though we have it upon authority that the Countess of Macclesfield, the lady-in- waiting, extemporised various necessary articles of clothing with much readiness and tact. There was no nurse provided, only one of the great officers of State present (and he by a mere accident), nor were the chief medical attendants of the Princess there, and the Queen was at Osborne. The telegraph was set actively to work, but before those personages usually present could possibly arrive her Royal Highness had made her Royal Husband a glad and happy father. Fallowing up the announcement in the papers, the park guus boomed forth the intelligence, and the church bells lent their aid to the joy; and it is gratifying to know that the Princess and the infant are progressing rapidly in health and strength. This is the more gratifying, as the birth was premature, and it was a seven months child. Some of the newspapers, with a niinutie which smacks much of downright vulgarity, pretend to give the weight of the infant prince, as well as other particulars which the usuages of good society usually passes over in silence. Congratulatory addresses to the Prince and Princess will shortly pour in from all parts of the kingdom, and I shall be surprised if Wrexham is among the last thus to show its loyalty. Much to the disappointment of many thousands, and to tiie delight of even a much larger number, a thaw set in on Saturday morning last, and so rapid was its operations that by mid-day the ice in the park was mostly covered with w.tter. This, however, did not seem to damp the ardour of the young, who stuck to their sliding and skating long after the pastime had become dangerous to indulge in. Lrge as were the crowds which thronged the ice in Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Regent's Park, and ether places, on week davs, they would have been trebled had the frost continued over Sunday, for it is on that day only that large bodies of young men and women have any time which they can call their o vn, hence the temptation. A few more days of severe weather would have added great misery among our poorer working population, who arc pro- verbially improvident, and to change whom it would re- quire even greater eloquence and more persuasive powers than those which the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer professes, although he were to enforce thrift- ness with even tenfold more weight than he did the other day before the working-men in your own neigh- bourhood. We were just beginning to realise the fact that large numbers of men had no employment, by gangs of them perambulating the streets, drawling out some dismal ditty respecting their having no work to do. With the thaw these have disappeared, let one hope, for more suitable employment. The Sunday evening services at St. Paul's have com- menced, and visitors to town should not neglect to form part of the congregation, for the scene is one of the i most striking that can well be conceived. Beneath the vast dome, a densely packed body of people are assem- bled long before the hour appointed for divine service, and it will be in vain to endeavour to obtain a seat within hearing of the preacher even at half-past six. But it is evident that the congregation is far from being composed of working men, in the ordinary sense of the term, though these services are expressly intended for them. Many no doubt go there from mere curiosity, and to listen to the exquisite singing of the choir, which numbers between four and five hundred voices; and it would be impossible to conceive anything more im- pressive than the singing of the Old Huiiilreili- Psalm or the Evening Hymn, in which the vast con- gregation joins. One great topic of conversation during the past week has been in reference being made to obtain a reprieve for the convict Wright, under sentence of death for the murder of Maria Green. One general feeling of sympathy for the poor fellow was predominant, especially as Townley had been reprieved. Untiring efforts were made, depu- tation after deputation waited upon Sir George Grey, and one gentleman went even so far as to proceed to Frogmore to present a petition to the Queen, but all were unavailing, and the law was allowed to take its course, which it did on Tuesday morning last, at Horse- monger-lane Gaol, over the water," in the presence of a great crowd, who were aot to be persuaded from feasting their eyes upon the horrible spectacle, by the very free distribution of requests, couched in strong and stirring language, not to take part in the legal murder of Wright. To make the matter worse, Calcraft bungled; and there are signs of nervousness, which, in a person having to perform such peculiar duties as he has, is a very considerable detriment. Although the railway across the Thames to Charing Cross is opened, and trains cross and re-cross at short intervals. At present the ofifces are only temporary, the great station and adjoining hotel being far from complete. The latter will present a fine facade to the Strand, although it will be somewhat heavy. From all appearances there will be plenty of passengers between Charing Cross and London Bridge Stations, and the thoroughfare at these places will be even more difficult to traverse than they are now. I mentioned some weeks since, the prospective publi- cation of the "Railway News," and predicted it would speedily take first rank among newspapers specially de- voted to railways. Two numbers of it have now been issued, and the general opinion among railway and newspapers now is, that the News" is very decidedly in advance of its special contemporaries, and that deal- ing soley with railways, the information is conveyed in an attractive form, and therefore acceptable to the general readers. London, Thursday.

I THE PARIS CONSPIRACY. [The following letter has appeared in most of the daily papers.] Sir,—Accusations of every description have been since the arrest of four Italians at Paris charged with an attempt against Louis Napoleon, heaped on me by the organs of the French Government and repeated by the English press. It has always been my known habit not to discuss accusations put forth against me by avowed enemies, and I feel a special dislike to do so when the accusations come from the agents of a man who, as far as in him lies, is, by mere brotal force, depriving my country of the unity which she claims, and making of Rome the basis of operations of the brigandage infest- ing tho South of Italy. Yielding, however, to solicita- tions of dear English friends, I do declare: That I never did give to any man bombs, air-guns, revolvers, or daggers for that purpose that Trabucco, Imperatori, and Saglio are entirely unknown to me that, therefore, the meeting summoned at Lugano, the absurd place of under-lieutenant given to Imperatori in a brigade of four men, and the giving the photographs to the men, are absolutely false that my photographs, with my au- tograph at the bottom, are sold for the Venice Emanci- pation Fund at the office of the Snita Italiana" at Milan, and elsewhere; that no letter, with or without money, has been addressed by me to Greco in Paris. Greco I know. Hundreds, I might say thousands, of young men belonging to our National Party of Action are known to me. Greco is an enthusiastic patriot, who took an active part in the enterprises of 1860 and 1861 in the south of Italy and he has had such contact with me. Any note of mine in his possession, if there be any, must, however, belong to at least nine or ten months ago. Enough in reply to accusations hitherto mer(?l?s grounded on French police reports.—I am, Sir, yours. œ.c:.  I I Jan. 14. J°SEFH Mazzini- j Jan. 14. I
