ON SATURDAY NIGHT last a man was killed I while riding from Wrexham to Brymbo w 7 ..u l..Hl ■ w i dt one stage carts, that ply between this towr* i and that district. Great fears have been enter- tarned on the part of the public for some time, that the mode of driving pursued by the pro- prietors of these carts must eventually lead to some fatality. There are various rumours as to the cause of this melancholy accident, but while the inquiry that was opened at Brymbo, on Tuesday last, is pending, we refrain from giving- further currency to any of them. There is one thing, however, to which we deem it our duty to call attention, and ask that it should be remedied at once, namely, the danger of running these carts at night without lights along roads so narrow in some parts that two vehicles can scarcely pass each other. There is no doubt these conveyances are found to be a great convenience, and will continue to be an absolute necessity till we have passenger trains put on the Wrexham and Brymbo railway. 1 Every preparation, including the erection of. stations, has long ago been made for carrying I passengers on this line. Why the Great West- ern Company don't commence doing so, is "one of those things that no fellow can understand."

— THE LOCAL BOAED of Llangollen have placed an order on their Minutes that no reporter be admitted to hear their deliberations. Of the wisdom of this policy perhaps the members of the Board are the best judges, but we question the wisdom of the decision, and do so in the interests of the Board and those of the commu- nity it represents. The discussions of a repre- sentative assembly are always of interest to its constituents, and generally the deliberations are influenced beneficially by the publicity given them by the press. This influence is recog- nized by most of our local governing bodies, and we think that in no case has the power of these institutions been lessened, or the public interests suffered therefrom. Sittings with closed doors often excite suspicion and want of confidence, and we think that the Ratepayers of Llangollen have a just cause of complaint against their Local Board, for refusing to give them the opportunity of reading deliberations in which they all must necessarily take an interest. If the Board desires to retain the confidence of the ratepayers, the sooner the better they re- scind this standing order, and throw open their doors to the press and the public.

THE IMMORAL TENDENCIES of the age are becoming too palpable to be disregarded by the moralist or left unclironicled by the press. Sins of ingratitude and infidelity are becoming wonderfully common, and may be found else- where than in sensational novels, police courts, or under the wings of Baron Wilde. Even our own local circle, narrow though it be, is not free from instances of infidelity to pledges and principles, and ingratitude for favors conferred, of so-well we will not say gi-o--s a character, but nevertheless, some of those with whom we come in contact think that the proper term to describe the evil, and do not withhold speech of the indignant remonstrance style when speak- ing thereof. NVe, however, wiih it to be dis- tinctly understood that this article is reflective of things as they are canvassed in "Echoes from the Clbs and neither "indignantly remonstra- the Club s," mildly suggest i ve. But sa y some tive" or "mildly E:uggestlve,. u say ome of our readers—where are your facts ? Facts, Sir, is the ready response, only look at the Church and the Theatre coquetting with each other in a most indelicate manner. Phew! enough of that, 270 is not to be sneezed at for the restoration of that glorious old pile!" (How many times shall we hear this quota- tion ?). While upon this restoration business we hear of another instance of ingratitude, and this time we oj, e "wounded in the house of our friends." Sir Watkin is, it appears, lay rector- whatever that may mean-of the parish of Wrexham, and of course is greatly interested in the restoration now going on, to which he has handsomely contributed, but at the recent bazaar Lady Williams Wynn had no stall. The prestige attending her ladyship's name and presence would no doubt have been worth a couple of hundreds at the bazaar, but it is withheld and, worse than all, bestowed upon the town of Oswestry, where, in conjunction with that of Mrs J. R. Ormsby Gore, it realized a handsome sum. As journalists we are compelled to sit in judgment upon so flagrant a violation of moral law, and we admit that the witnesses for the prosecution make out a strong case. They say-we are Conservatives and Churchmen, as you are, Sir Watkin-We have the interests of this grand old pile" (again) at heart, and the British constitution too. We always have returned you to parlia. ment, and always will, and really now, Sir Watkin, it is too bad for you and Lady Williams Wynn to go and confer all your favors on Oswestry. If we are not quite as aristocratic as Oswestry we are as enterprising, and, more- I over, have you not sanctioned the flesh and blood argument that we are all equal, by your uni- versal suffrage reform bill ? Now, Sir Watkin plead guilty and behave better in future. No sooner have we uttered these words than one of these Conservatives retaliates by saying that Col. Biddulph is no better, for he presided at an Oswestry dinner, and who ever heard of him presiding at one in Wrexham. Now what can we say after this ? We return these gentle- men to represent us at St. Stephens and instead of them visiting their constituents and acting the parG of virtue and consistency they make a cara 8po8a of this uau? Oswestry while Wrexham, their lawful ?o?vJ is treated as a 5? ?, How are we to get over this manifest slight, and calm down poor, injured, neglected Wrexham? We feel inclined to throw oil on the troubled waters rather than recommend a divorce on the X of incompatibility. If our members. rreeaal?ly do not like our company they ought to make a virtue of necessity and treat us with the regard which is due to the connection exis- tin between us and not excite all the jealous feelings of our poor frail nature by lavisW thelr favors on a neIghbouring town. There should be a reciprocity of attectloa between representatives and constituents, and when either party oversteps the bounds of courteky we must learn to bear and forbear." UNPLEASANT VIBRATIONS reach us from thof Bourse at Paris-a kind of rumbling whrch often precedes an earthquake. We in En-htnd know what it is to have a panic, and have often endured distress and ruin from dabbling too much in the Stock Exchange. But our experience bears no comparison with the money fever now afflicting the French, nor did our monetary barometer ever threaten so much disorder and stormy weather. Doubtless pol- itics have a great deal to do with it, and the unsettled state of Italy is one of the cb' causes of disturbance. At the same t;- "?. exceedingly sensitive is the Bour? that._301 must look to something mor?  that. we T ? 0 ?t???t f?T???-? \J.LJ i.U.1.bu.. complications tor the alarn? ? AULU16LL. been exhibited.

Already that gigantic institution the Credit Mobilier," which may be compared to an image of iron with legs of clay, is crying Peecavi, and no one j can say how soon other bubbles of a kindred nature might burst. The Mobilier may be said literally to have had a princely career. Mires and Pereire were its sponsors, and noble, if not imperial influences have been exerted to sustain its grand inflation. To it is chiefly owing the embellishment of Paris, as well as the aflfuence of those scheming and audacious citizens of whom the celebrated De Veron was a conspicioias example. An institution so high- ly patronized was sure to attract the money- lenders of Paris and of France and mixed up as it has been with transactions of a gambling character, it presented opportunities for the indulgence of a passion too common with the modern Frenchman. No wonder that rumours are fabricated—no wonder that these rumours exert so thrilling an influence amongst the daily frequenters of the Bourse. Nothing in modern times, it is said. has equalled the almost mad enthusiasm which prevails in the Rue Vivienne. Men rushing hither and thither, frantic with fear, or furious from the news which ever and anon falls like a thunder-bolt upon the excited scene. Our South Sea Bub- ble was not more provocative of madness than is the will-o'-the-wisp at present bewildering the Parisians. And remembering wlio has pat- ronized the Mobilier, what are we to think of the morality of modern French finance P What would be said in this country if men lofty in station and eminent in politics were to play for high stakes with funds which might be termed the hard-earned savings of the nation ? But how true it is that evil cannot escape the consequences of its own creation. Rash spec- ulation prospers but for a time, and is pretty sure to be followed by a rainy day. Nor is the reaction the less severe because the gambling we speak of has been winked at by the State. The ouvriers have had a glorious time of it-for the last ten years work has been abundant, and good wages always forthcoming. In addition to this the Parisians have had the satisfaction of seeing their city remodelled, and their own convenience studied, as far as house accommod- ation is concerned, in every possible degree. Such a state of things in England, or in most other countries, would have been an unqualified boon, and at the same time a proof of great national prosperity. But when it is con- sidered that the money which has been paid for all this has been raised by an artificial system of creating wealth, as exhibited by the Credit Mobilier, and that honest industry will, have to suffer for the deception, we may well question the good that has been so loudly talked of. Fortunate will our neighbouis be if the storms which assuredly await them do not produce violent commotions such as in former times have followed upon scarcity of labour. Certain it is, that if money fails, work will fail also, and of all disorders this is the very worst that France can suffer. At present the sunshine has scarcely departed. Men hope that the evil day may still be afar off, and hiico, the idea to their bosoms that something extra- ordinary will happen to avert the catastrophe. We can only hope that it may be so, though to expect it is to look for something contrary to the laws of nature. If, moreover, political troubles should accompany or succeed commer- cial reaction, matters cannot fail to be a great deal worse. The latter state of things is, in- deed, far too possible. The rumours we have heard of late, though devoid of truth, are really the things that may happen. Disputes with Italy-the Emperor's illness-an alliance be- tween the Italians and Prussians-are the very events which seem to loom in the distance, and respecting which most men are continually in doubt. And, with these dark clouds menacing her, France has just lost the enly pilot gener- ally deemed capable of carrying the State barque through a great financial storm. M. Fould is no more—the man who had once set the financial house of France in order, but whose wise schemes were overthrown, and his resignation of office occasioned, by the expen- sive army reorganization scheme. Where the Emperor will now look for advice and help it is difficult to foresee for it must be a bold man who will face the coming financial storm, and an able one indeed that pilots his way safely through it.
