I have the honor to bc, I Gent!< .-on, io-ir obedient servant, B. PIKUCV. The Chairman said he had very few remarks to »make, and very littl" information to ?Yc them (XCCpt?'h.lt! was embodied in the report. Of com'sc he could not but congratulate them upon tlw successful result of thi!¡l' I efforts to obtain the bill for the line and for the exten- sion to Whitchurch. They had had to ti?ht against fearful odds. They had the t-V.o great giant companies for their opponents, and these companies had ahnost a I iii,)iiol)olvtof le-,Lriie(I counsel to oppose theiA. Fortuna- tely they (the promoters of the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway) had Mr Dcunison on tl: dr sille, and ultimately they were1 able to carry their 1 ill. In doing so they had material aid from Lord lvenyon, Mr Howard, the pcople of Wrexham and bthers, wuieu they must not forget to ae-raowledge. The report showed that they were endeavouring to IJllke what progress they could with the \voA:s, and he would only make one remark in conclusion, wllieli. WIIS that lIe hoped in the course of the next. fourteen 'or lifteen months to see a locomotive travelling the whole length of the line from Wrexham to Connah's Quay. One great cause of re- joit^ng to them was the carrying through of the ton Junction, without which they would have been like a head without a tail. There would be now a great out- let for the minerals of this important mineral district into Staffordshire. transit of minerals as had been shown in evidence would be six pence'pel' ton cheaper1 than now. In conclusion he moved that the report be adopted., printed, and circulated among tiie shareholders. (Cheers.) I Mr. Charles Hughes said he had groat pleasure in se- conding tilt motion of the chairman, awl in doing so, he felt sutb tlAt the public 6f Wrexham and those who wore interested 'in the wealth and prosperity of the neigh- I)ijurliood,' w(iulil ] cjuicf to hear that in the cpurs.e of twelve or fourteen months there would he a railway from Wrexham to Connah's Quay en the one side and*"Staf- fordshire toi; the other, one ?rcut advantage of which wimH be the shortening of the distance between Wrex- ham and London hy thirty miles, which would pmba- hiy result in the Holyhead mails being brought through Wrexham. He trusted that wdien the line was opei-ied, their expectations with regard to its effect upon the .1e- velopment of the wealth of the district would be more than realised. (Cheers.)

DISTRICT NEWS- I ¡ OSWESTRY. I FALL OF I'.U:T OV A HOUSE.—No little commotion was caused near the Beatrice-street turnpike-gate, on Thursday afternoon by the Jfall of one'end of a dwelling house, reeently erected. The house had been built for a Mr l?isbop, by Mr Lloyd, builder. Soon after it was finished and Mr Bishop had entered into occupation el it, an excavation was made on one side for another house, which had also been erected..Within the past fortnight another excavation hul been made between Mr Bishop's house and the road i'or a malthousc for Mr Ben- nion, the contractor being Mr Rees. It is alleged that this excavation has been carried too close to a wall which bounds a passage by the side of Mr Bishop's house, over which passage the upper rooms extended. Be this as it may, it is certain that while the excavation was still, being continued despite warnings of danger yesterday afternoon, the passage wan came oouiiy (town,- and was followed by the side wall o the upper rooms and part of the roof, partly burying two of the seven excavators. The two men were got out with prompt exertion, and one of thc-m named Howells. was fnuIHI to he severely crushed about the chest and Lacii. He was removed to his lodging at Mr Morris's, Bee-hive, and it is hoped that he will in time recover from the effects of the injuries he has sustained. None of the other men are much hurt. As soon as the wall gave way, LMrs Bishop rushed out crying frantically that her child was unstairs in a cradle. Thereupon, Mr Roberts, vcterinary surgeon, ascended to the now rather rickety room, and brought the child down in safety, It seems likely that another instalment of the building will speedily fall, and most likely the house will have to be in great part re- built before it will be habitable. POSTAL AI:I;ANOEMI:NTS.—.Numerous complaints have reached us recently as to the incompleteness of the arrangement connected with the mail that leaves Oswes- try in the forenoon. It appears that a letter posted in time for this mail will not reach Wrexham, Rtiabon. Chirk, or Cefn tuitil the next morning. The evil com- plained of might be remedied in this way. Letters for second delivery from Chester reach Wrexham about rex l l,,in 17j()ut fotir o'clock in the afternoon, and of course leave Ches- ter long after the arrival of the Oswestrv letters in that city. By a very slight alteration, therefore, in the sort- ing arrangements at Chester, letters pes el i i Oswe^ry in the forenoon might reach Wrexham, Ruabon, Cefn, and Chirk the same afternoon. COUNTY COURT. Tins Court was held on Saturday last, before J. W. Harden, ES'h but no business of pub- lic importance was transacted. In one case Eliza Morris v. Thomas Oliver, c.jn'-iderahle amusement was caused by the evidence of the parties, between whom, it appeared, various love-passages had taken nlaee. The action u as brought to recover the value of articles sun- phed to defendant. The judge told them to go.and make it up, upon which the ipiondam lovers retired to the gland jui\ loom, and were there e ?cd in s1 ~^tlint°,r tli in t i t:li D th m l 'd' fll r: ?.nf-!n.?., of t]„. C 'urt? In l-cph- tlJ the ji.dge they then said they had arranged matters, liii in answer to lÜ hcnoijvs enquiry as to when the banns were to be published defendant indignantly denied the soft impeachment. In another case Mr Hilditch sued Mr Wilde, formerly a butcher at Knockiu, for balance alleged to be due for a cow and some sheep. Judgment was given for plaintiff.

DRY MB Si I'L'EN" D.C.VTH.—An Inrpiest was held on W cdr.es- day last, before B.

The deceased, we arc informed, had been verger of Brvmbo Church from its lirst opening, and was much respected by all who knew him. I RUAIJOX. j CON(;J:<;ATIONAI. CHAPEL.—On Eriday night week, at the above chnpd, It lecture was delivered by the Rev. 1 A. J. Parry,"X'efn Mawr, on the Elements of Success. The things which he had selected as been the elements of success were ambition, industry, perseverance, obser- I vation, economy, time, and religiousness. The lecture t 0 "1 1 throughout was very good, and had the tendency to stimulate young men to pull off their coats and work un- eeasingly and with great determination. We regret that, the attendance was small, but hope that Ruabon will, before long, be aroused out of its slumber,"so as to be able to appreciate and relish what is substantial food for the mind..

Mr Jones spoke oi the dangerous position of those persons who call themselves moderate drinkers. with hij usual activity and cheerfulness, but really with much greater zeal and more solemnity (as we supposed) than we ever heard him before, spoleof the necessity, yea, the obligation which rests on all profes- sing christians to become total abstainers.

INSPECTION O. ;rIlE PLI nrSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. It is always pfeasing to us when we have to record anything connected with the volunteer movement,'and upon no occasion do we feel more gratified with the • task than this time, when on Monday last, the line bat- %ttilion of t'leilintshire Rifle Volunteers met at Green- tititi Hall, J^ywell, the residence of W. Keates, Egil to be inspected by Colonel Manners, Her Majesty s In- sperlor of Volunteers. Shoffty "after three o'clock the corps marched on the ground; and were put through a series of movements in marching 1):,st, ke., under the command of the gallant major of the battalion, the Hon. Viscount Fielding, and the adjutant, Captain Wrench after which they were wheeled into line to receive the reviewing officer, which was done with a general salute, the line band of the Royal Flintshire Militia playing the National Anthem. The battalion then formed a column and marched in doi-,])Io. time; after which the skirmishing companies were thrown out and kept up a rattling lira the rest of the companies formed squares to receive cavalry, which concluded the programme of field move- ments. Colorel Manners then addressed the volunteers, and said that lie was very much pleased with the excellent manner in which all the movements were performed, specially as he had been told that some of the companies were nearly all recruits, but he was glad to tell them that they had acquitted themselves more lilic old soldiers, being steady and well-conducted in the ranks. The liring. he said, was an exception in their favour being excellently done. He also complimented the major and other officers of the battalion for the marked iinpi-ovenieiit ivliieli had taken place since his last in- spection, and should report well of them to the proper quarter. At the conclusion of the gallant colonel's ad- dress he was londlv cheered. iMajor the lion. Viscount Fielding in his address said he was very proud at the-manner in which all had per- formed their duties, and thanked them for their attend- ance that day. He then called for' three cheers to the Queen which was heartily responded to by the vol un- teers and spectators. The corps piled arms to partake of refreshment, the officers being entertained by W. Keates, Esq., at the Hall, and by nine o'clock the volunteers had left the tield homeward bound."

BALA. Coinvr; OF AGE OF J.H0MAS LLOYD AXWYL, ESQ., or Fia XPPEP.W.—On Friday last, the 26th nit., great rejoicings took place in this town, in licnour of the above joyous event. The day was kept by all classes as a general holiday, and the greatest hilarity prevailed throughout. At niue o'clock, a.m., about two hundred blankets were distributed among the most necessitous poor of the parish of Llanycil. At ten o'clock a grand procession was formed at the Red Lion Inn, headed by the band of the Merioneth Militia in a waggon, followed Ly another waggon drawn by six horses, and gaily deco- rated, containing the boat which' was presented to the young gentleman. The procession proceeded through Plasey-street, down Mount-street, and up High-street, and thence to Eryl Aran, the residence of Mr. Anwyl, and from thence to the lake side, where the presentation amI hnmchino- of t1 b e sIde, where the presentation and launching of the boat took place. The boat as christened the Kearsage, the ceremony of bieakmg  11' A the bottle being done by Miss Augusta Jones, of Fach- d?'ihog. The next thing was a boat-race. Four boats entered vi, 19 was a oat-race. Four boats entered v i z., Brynbgul, Rhiwlas, Ghmllyn, and Eryl .Aran boats. The Brynlcgid boat won by a few Yard s, the Rhiwias boat 1.Yl1 c.gu oat won hy a few yards, was ll.ll\\ !as hoa conl1ng In second. At four o'clock tea sons, and a variety of amusements wene c ^tii sons, Rntl a vanet;r of amusements were carried on With great spirit in a field near the Red Lion Inn.

We are glad to testify that everything throughout the day passed off very peace- fully, and that every class and litrtv co-operated toge- ther to their utmost power to show their respect to the young gentleman'whose majority they were that day celebrating. RUTHIN". I A MISSIONARY rnoH Dii.iii.-Tile Rev. T. Evans, I Baptist missionary from Delhi, delivered a very impres- sive lecture in the Baptist Chapel oe Wednesday evening on the missionary cause in India. During the discourse we were introduced to several Hindoo idols, and Mr ilivans gave some interesting details concerning their re- puted virtues. Referring to the musical tastes and feel- ings of the people amongst whom he laboured, lie men- tioned that it was with difficulty he could get them to take hut little intere st in the music of this country. He had, however, managed to teach them one Welsh tune nnnn-d Capel y ddol, and they seemed to lie pleased and delighted with it. We are glad to understand that this same old tune is composed by our town-man and eminent musician, Mr J. I). Jones. Mr Evans also gave siime account of the awfully oppressive heat of the country, aitd the many dangers a missionary's life is subject to). *k very numerous and respectable audience assembled to hetrtjthe lecture, and all appeared highly pleased and gratified with Mr Evans's very interesting address. The Rev. Mr Davies, Independent m'nister, occupied the chair. Ax Exci- io-Tlie second cheap excursion of the season left here for Rhyl on Thursday morning. During the night and the early part of thc morning several showers of rain came do vn. but not sufficient to cool the ardour of the holiday seekers. An immense number of all classes took advantage of the reduced fares to have a run down to Rhyl to inhale the sea breeze. Soon after the train started the weather cleared-up—old Sol smiled as radient as ever, and in the midst of sUIlJtucr we could not have hoped for a more delightful day foivi'lie occasion, neither too hot nor too cold, it was a happy medium. Tiie cheap trip 'was in connncction with the ni-t excursion train from Corweif to Rhyl, which also called at Hathin. The facination of the sea and the still greater fascination of cheap fare, tempted a large number (ahúnt ¡,jlll) we are told) of the Corwenites to avail themselves of this opportunity of enabling themselves to have a "dip" in the sea, or a ride on those most useful and often most ill-used animals facetiously called Jerusalem ponies." and we have no doubt they were highly di lighted with their day's pleasure.

I FmcUHTL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning last, I after the receding of the tide at Borth, a gentleman, on walking along the sea side under the rocks, a bout two miles towards Aberystwitli, was horror-struck by dis covering the body of a man lying dead, having his skull fractured in a frightful manner and his brains scattered about, he evidently having fallen down the rocks the preceding evening, the rocks at this place being about 100 feet high. On raising an alarm and getting assist- ance from Borth, it was discovered to be the body of a man named David Jones, a carpenter, of Llanbadaru- fllwr, near Aberystwitli. and formerly, and for many years a policeman in the Cardigan police force. It is supposed he had been endeavouring to get home from Borth by way of the shore under the rocks, but being | caught by the tide (which was up about seven p.m.) lie made an endeavour to climb up the rocks, and, falling down, was killed on the spot. He leaves a widow and four children, who were depending on his labours, to mourn his loss. I NORTHOP. [ PETTY SESSIONS, Aug. 25.—Present: LI. F. Lloyd, I lL Wells, and C. B. Clough, Esors.

I 13TIf SHROPSHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.— On Saturday I last the challenge cup, given by P, K. Mainwaring, Esq., was shot for at the butts, at Colemere woods.

i ABERYSrWiTH AND WELSH COAST R 'J LWAY, The half-yearly meeting of this eo.npa.ny was held at the olilces, Rridgo-sireet, Westminster, »n Monday; Mr H. Gartsiue in the chair. The report stated that the disagreement anil dissatisfaction that ,t ,11 among the directors-at the last meeting had subsided, and had been succeeded by perfect harmony and unify of ac.n'on. The results of the past Session of Parliament as regarded the interests of t he c m; any had been sr.t'sfact >ry and suc- cessful. The whole line from MaehynlLth. lo Abeiysl- with had been opened, and the traliic was very success- ful. The directors propose to re-introduce in the next- Session of Parliament tin: Biil for cslabii-.hing steamboat commuie'c ition between North Wales and Ireland. About half the land required for the line between llavmouth and Portmadoc had been purchased, and on the remain- illg land being acquired the works would be commenced. Application would be made 'o Parliament next Session to abandon the proposed bridge and embankment across the liver Dov-. y, :?i I to substitute a railway <?t the north s-du of the liver, so as to connect Aberdovcy and Aber- 'HwÜh by a better Ih?c, 13!'l (Iil:cct communication with the Cambrian r:uhv<?. Thc balance-sheet showed a total receipt of .tul7,4?i, and a balance ot.-t.?,S<?. The Chairman in moving the ioloption of the report, eon- gratula ed the shareholders on the improved earnings of the line, which, without those derived from minerals, amounted to £ lis Pis. per mile per wee' After some conversation, in which Mr Penson, Mr Pier.-y, Mr Ranks, ai.d others took part, the report was adopted, and a dividend of 5 per cent, declared on the preference shares.

.I'I "H ]" IL"' I WELSH RAILWAYS. The working of these several Comnanies, under management, an I one Board of Directors, is a manifest advantage in every way, for while the expanses are ma- terially lessened, community of interest is maintained, which in several companies was oftxei out of the ques- tion. The directors chosen at the iivst meeting of the Cambrian Company gives good cviduicc of a detei'illl- nation that the Company shall be under the manage- ment of a body of gentlemen whose character, nosltiou, and business habits, peculiarly fit them for their duties: while the selection of Mr George Lewis, (for a consider- able time past secretary of three out of tlie four amal- gamated companies), as the Somdaiy of the Cambrian Company, is another proof of t'c desire on the part of Directors and Sharenolders that the Company shall be under the control cf a thoroughly eilicient officer. The system of Welsh railways is developing itself I in a remarkable degree. Tiie traffic returns of the Camorian are in the highest degree satisfactory, I and even with the addition of the Oswestry and l Whitchurch section, only just opened, show a good mileage return; while the Aberystwitli and Welsh Coast line is even doing better than that. According to Mr Gartside, who presided at the half-yearly meeting of the latter eompany land it report of which we publish in our columns to-day ) the earnings per mile per week, amount to no less than £IS lOs, Considering the disadvantages under which the line is worked, and that it is only opened, as it were at one end, the remits are far in advance of what might be reasonably expect- ed. Besides, a large number of passengers, when they arrive at Machynlleth, are carried to Dolgelley, Ear- mouth, and other places by coaches, which appear to do a thriving business.

Here is a considerable population whom you must influence through their language,-if you would ibiihtence tliein at all. You can get at them no other way.
