English wheat extremely dull, at Monday's reduction, foreign can be purchased for less money. I1 lour, town, unaltered; country markets no cheaper. Low American trifle easier. Barley, malting, rather weaker; fine grinding, trifle dearer. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET. m* ine marKec wass very thinly attended, and business in wheat was very slow—millers offering prices which few holders would accept. To effect sales, a reduction of 2d. per cental since Tuesday was found necessary; but the transactions were on a very limitpd scale. Flour was very slow, and nominally Is. per pack lower. Indian corn met with more attention; but the small quantity on offer hindered business:, and prices are 3d. to 6d. higher. Other articles without any new feature.

THE CLERK OF THE LLANGOLLEN LOCAL BOARD on Thursday Jast, produced a bill of expenses incurred by him at the last Local Board Election, which he strongly pressed to have paid. The members thought it but right that it should be investigated by the Finance Committee, as was the rule with other bills, but the Clerk very pharply said he would not submit to the Committee. By this expression he set the whole Board at defiance, and we should fancy that Mr Thomas was only uttering the sentiments of that body when he said that they could not be dictated to by Mr Richards, he was only their Clerk, and consequently their servant." Mr Thomas and the other members who stood by him deserve the thanks of the ratepayers of Llangollen for the bold stand they made against this strange proceeding on the part of the Clerk. +

WE WOULD call the attention of our Magistrates to the letter of Mr H. Crompton, on the costs of Assize Prosecutions, in another column. It reviews the circumstances attending several cases tried at Ruthin Spring Assizes, in 1869, in which Mr Law, the Treasury official, disallowed various charges. It certainly appears, if the ingenious way in which Mr Law finds objections is to be the rule, that it will tax the ingenuity of the cleverest lawyer to keep in compliance with Treasury law, and secure expenses. Coats were disallowed in one instance because the case was not a commitment by the magistrates, but by the County Court Judge. In another, the expenses incurred before the Magi- strates are refused on the ground that there was a committal at the Coroner's inquest, and the ex- penses of the Inquest disallowed because of the proceedings before the Magistrates! and the Justices' Clerk is mulcted of the expenses incurred in taking the depositions of a dying man, because the "tables make no provisions for them," although the Clerk was bound to supply the work. We think that credit is due to Mr Crompton for the stand he has taken, and the publicity he is giving to the circum- stances.

AT THE COUNTY MAGISTRATES COURT on Monday last, two men who have hitherto borne an irre- proachable character were brought before the Bench on a charge of stealing a sheep skin. The evidence of the prosecutor was simply this that the owner of the property had placed it in a certain unpro- tected position on a certain evening, and that on the following morning it was missed. The skin was sold the same day at Messrs. Jones & Rocke's establishment by the prisoners, one giving his proper name when asked. The two men occupy a most suspiscous situation until their version of how they became possessors of the property is given. The defence was that upon going to their work on the morning after the skin was deposited safely outside the prosecutor's slaughter house, the prisoners found it lying on the turnpike road, about sixty yards distant. One of the men took it to his house, and afterwards proceeded to his work. Their supposition was that the skin had been dragged to the place where they picked it up by some dog, and they allege that its dirty appear- ance would justify such a thought. They informed their fellow workmen and employers of having found the skin, and made no secret of the matter. Supposing their own story to be true, we cannot justify their conduct beyond this point, for instead of disposing of the skin, they ought to have in- formed the police of the matter, and endeavoured to find its owner. But, we ask, is it probable that two men holding respectable if not important posi- tions, and having the characters they were shown to have, would go and commit a robbery of such a nature, and make themselves amenable to the penalties of the law. We think not but, at any- rate, we believe that the evidence brought forward for tlve defence was suihciently weighty to have raised such a doubt in the minds of unprejudiced holders of the scales of justice as would have justified them in giving the prisoners the benefit of it and I dismissing them. If this course had been taken, I the Bench would have secured greater public confi- dence, and would not have raised a feeling which is prevalent that the men Miles and Evans have |{ -Ailes an d Evans htive not had justice doue them. WE ARE GLAD TO REPORT that the Strike a.t Vron Colliery has terminated, and the men have re-com- menced work. This agreeable termination of a disagreeable dispute between master and men was brought about by Mr Low and Mr Halliday, who met a number of the men, and talked over the points on which a difference of opinion existed between them. The result of this conference was that the men agreed to return to their work on the same terms as previously—the present position of the trade in this district not justifying an advance. I We trust that any ill feeling which may have arisen I in connection with the Strike will soon cease, and that all parties will work harmoniously together, as has been the case generally at the Vron Colliery. While however, we wish to inculcate a spirit of conciliation, we would also utter a word of caution. Let the workmen be warned by the termination of this miserable Strike, that they cannot dictate the price and conditions of labor, anymore than the masters. The law of supply and demand will assert its supremacy. In the present case we have a number of men declining to work at their regular employment for some six weeks, in order to change the conditions of working, and increase their re- numeration. This is done at immense loss to the general trade of the district, and after all it is without result. We hope that in future disputes the workmen of this district will take care that their case has a fair and reasonable foundation ere they risk so many important interests by taking a similar course.

MR OSBORNE MORGAN'S BILL for the acquisition of sites for Schools and Places of Worship, came on for a second reading on Wednesday. The diffi- culty the Bill is intended to meet is one that many of our readers are pretty well acquainted with. We all know that very often the most eligible sites cannot be obtained for the purposes above men- J tioned lor any price; not because ot their commer- cial value or importance, but because of the objects contemplated. In small towns and country places these reason are more frequently in operation, and landlords either positively refuse to grant a site, or grant one most inconvenient or inaccessible. The Bill proposes to remedy this state of things by providing that in all such cases compulsory powers of purchase shall be given under certain restrictions, and with certain guarantees for their bona fide exercise. Mr Morgan moved the second reading in an able speech, which we fully report. An unsuccessful attempt was made to get rid of the measure by Mr Gregory moving that it be read that day six months, which was seconded by Mr New- degate. The Bill was effectively supported by Mr H. Richard, his line of argument invoking a protest from Sir John Hanmer in defence of Welsh land- lords in general, and Flintshire landlords in par- ticular. After an animated debate in which a number of speakers joined, including Mr Hardy, Mr Bruce, Mr Horsman, and Mr Beresford Hope, the amendment was withdrawn, and the Bill read a second time, the Committee being fixed for the 15th of June. Our County Member appears to be passing his omnibuses through Temple Bar very nearly as quick as the Government.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE is one of those peculiar crotchets which only philosophers and sentimental politicians can find time to interest themselves about. The agitation for the redress of this fancied grievance is therefore at present mildly carried on, and Parliament is not likely for some time to come to be troubled with debates on the very interesting topic. We say interesting, because, if it ever should come on for discussion, an entirely new set of ideas will have to come into play. Fancy the nice philosophical conceptions, the fine-drawn arguments which the discussion would necessitate! What amusing passages of arms, too, would occur, and what a tournament of valiant thrust and fence How eagerly would the division-lists be scanned by fair eyes the next day How effectually would the gallant be distinguished from the un- gallant! The thing is so unlikely to happen that our minds are satisfied at once as to the senti- mentality of the grievance. It is difficult to believe that Parliament will ever be free enough from hard work to engage in a discussion as to whether there is any necessity for bringing woman into the pale of politics. Where is the hardship to the excluded, and the necessity for bringing them in ? Is the balance of power between Whig and Tory in danger? Are the people of the United Kingdom becoming so Gladstonian that a new field of voters is needed for the leader of the Opposition? When Mr Disraeli declared himself to be on the side of the angels," did h> mean the ladies ? And is it to be supposed for a moment, that if woman suffrage were adopted, that gentle- man would have at his back a whole army of amazons ? It is one of the misfortunes of the grievance that this question cannot be answered. We must confess ourselves unable from personal experience to say on which side the feminine political opinion would preponderate. Before we give in our adhesion either one way or the other, we should like to see a test ballot instituted. Liberalism or Conservatism, Gladstone or Disraeli ? It would be a simple issue, and would afford a pretty good idea of women's political views. Secret voting, of course, would be preferable to the open system. How else would undue influence on the part of the other sex be guarded against ? We must own thus far to have romanced a little. Seriously, is there any need of woman's help in political affairs? Ungallant as the confession may be, we must assert that in our opinion the ladies had better "mind their own business." Like the opposite sex, they have at present a kingdom of their own, which no one desires to invade, and which it were well to keep involiate. That sacred sway which hitherto has been so beneficiently exercised is an influence the world cannot afford to see lessened but it would be lessened if the relationship now existing were in the slightest degree interfered with. Nature has established a clear line of demarcation-" Man for the head, and woman for the heart." Man for the hard struggles of life, woman for the tender offices of home. The objections we have urged may be trite ones, yet they are difficult to explain away. Woman's mission is well defined now, but what would it be were she permitted to meddle with politics? Where should her "rights" stop *? If she vote, why may she not become a Member of Parliament? If the latter, why not a public official ? The advocates of woman's right will no doubt exclaim, Why not ? We would answer, because there is no need of it. If it could be proved that woman were suffering any grievous wrongs which only their own sex could redress—if, for instance, the lords of the creation had formed a compact to retain them in a sphere which did not suit them, there would be some show of reason for unfurling the banner of emancipation and freedom. But if wrongs do exist they are either too minute to be detected, or too insignificant to excite much sympathy. While we do not see the great wrong of excluding women from active political life, we do perceive the likelihood of incalculable mischief in withdrawing them from their present sphere of occupation. If it were more frequently borne in mind how deeply civilization is indebted to the distinctions nature and custom have marked out between the duties of man and those of woman, we should have little of woman's wrongs, or of the hopeless efforts to redress them.

After nine defeats in as many years, in which the Cam- bridge crew has been beaten by distances varying from one to six boats' lengths, victory has once more fallen to the representatives of the Light Blue. When Wednes- day morning broke, a thick yellow fog hung heavily over both town and river, but it cleared away as the day ad- vanced, and in the afternoon there was a cloudless sky, with a light southern breeze. The race was rowed shortly after five o'clock, Oxford, as usual, winning the toss, but choosing, on this occasion, the Surrey side of the water. The careful training of the Cai.tabs was made manifest from the beginning of the struggle, and although the champions of the Dark Blue desperately strove to retain I he Vonour which has so often fell to their lot, their op- ponents won by a length. The crowd was encrmous. The people lined the banks of the rii-er by hundreds of thousands; they were densely packed upon the bridges, and watched the spectacle from the trees and the tops of the houses. At Mortlake the throng was immense, and the tremendous enthusiasm with which the intelligence of the result was received testified to the popnlar sympathy with the courage and the fortitude which have again brought Cambridge to the front after such a long run of disappointment and defeat. The sLarp encounter over Mr Disraeli's amendment to the Irish Land Bill oa Monday evening has been the first parliamentary scene which in any way recalled the famous displays of last session. There was no ltck of personalty exchanged on both sides-that indispensable ingredient in making a debate exciting. Mr Disraeli's speech had the noticeable effect of Dringing Mr Lowe to the front, whose sarcasms completely demolished the absurd rumours which have been living about hinting at the intended re- signation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer because he was not at one with his colleagues in the matter of Irish land. Little could the writer of the canard in question have known of the temper of Mr Lowe, for a moment to imagine that before gathering in the laurels to be expected from the Budgst of 1870 such an idea as resignation of offi<;e could be sustained by the right hon. gentleman. The rumour, too, that Mr Bright will not return to the Board of Trade is based upon no better authority than the fertile imagination of a well-known cabinet-secret-monger, who for the nonce seems to be first favourite" on the staff of one of our daily papers. The probable retirement of the Speaker of the House of Commons is a rumour from a more reliable quarter. Mr Ddnison does not enjoy very good health, and-an un- deniable fact-is not so young as he was. It is likely enough that at the end of the present session he may re- tire with a peerage. In that case Mr Cardwell might be put forward for the position. He ceit-iinly is rather out of his element as Secretary for War. The universal belief that Sir Roundell Palmer would have occupied the woolsack at the formation of the Glad- stone ministry but for his conscientious objections to the destruction of the Established Church in Ireland gave an air of probability to the report which appeared in the Church Herald, that Lord Hatherley would shortly retire, and the memter for Richmond take his place with the title of Lord Selbourne. This, is however, now authora- tive'y contradicted. It is said that Colonel Henry Ponsonby, now in the Grenadiers, will have the appointment of Private Secretary to the Queen. He would in that case, of course, retire. The duties are of a confidential and important character. What the remuneration may be is never stated, it being a matter of private arrangement, and being paid out of the Quten's privy purse. Probably no living man could wholly compensate her Majesty for the heavy loss she sustains in the death of General Grey, but Colonel Ponsonby would no doubt use his utmost efforts to mitigate the loss as far as possible. At intervals of a few weeks, as near as I can judge without going very accurately into the matter the London daily papers record that The royal commissioners ap- pointed to inquire into the standard weights and measures met yesterday," &c., and we are further informed that such and such persons were present, and that Mr Chaney, the secretary attended. And there the matter ends. How many years ago this commission was appointed, I cannot say, but it seems a very long time. These gentlemen are evidently spinning out their work, and perhaps will give us their report when the Greek Kalends arrive. The Select Committee on Mr Osborne Morgan's Bill have commenced work, but the proceedings are held in pr.vate. The following gentlemen form the committee —Mr Secretary Bruce, Mr Collins, Mr Cross, Mr Cubitt, Mr Hardcastle, Mr Beresford Hope, Mr Miall, Mr O. Morgan, Mr S. Morley, Mr Mowbray, Earl Piercy, Mr Richard, Sir J. Simeon, Mr Stone, Mr John Talbot. When Mr Denison moves for a select committee to en- quire into the operation of the law in relation to lailway compensation—which he intends to do, I believe, immedi- ately after the Easter recess—he will not want for extra- ordinary facts. He will be able to show how companies are imposed npon that people who were never in fuch and such a train at all have recovered damages for inj uries never received therein; that ethers have grossly exagger- ated their injuries, magnified their social position, and over-stated their expenses. And there will be plenty of cases where persons who have been injured have sub- sequently enjoyed themselves immensely so far as good living could enable them to do so. A case of the latter kind-where the plaintiff was undoubtedly injured in a railway accident—has just been tried at Leeds. The counsel for the company showed that during fifteen months wine for thA patient had cost f,140, which it was reckoned would be a bottle and a fifth a day for an ex- cursion of six days, E20 was charged and for twenty-six days at Scarborough, £ 60. And then the medical man charged 13:1 for each visit-a charge which counsel re- peated would never have been made but that the company would have to pay. The plaintiff claimed E3,000, and got f,1,000-probably a very fair arrangement. The time indeed, seems to have gone by for juries giving enormous damages but still there is required some systematization, and if we have have a select committee on the subject, we may hope that they will make their report in time for an amendment of the law next session. It is now too late to expect it this year. When one makes a blunder, it is consolatory to find oneself sinning not alone but in good company. All the Loudon morning papers of Monday, except the Standard, are in this position. They announced that a meeting of clergy took place on Saturday, at the residence of the Bishop of London, in reference to proceedings which it is understood his lordship intends to institute respecting ritualistic excesses in his diocese. The fact, however, was that no such meeting took place. It bad been in- tended that it should be held, but the bishop was too ill to preside and as the clergy arrived they received apologies and returned whence they came. The meeting, however, is only postponed on account of the health of his lordship. When it does take place, it will probably be the commence- ment of an exciting conflict between episcopal authority and clerical practice. His lordship, it is fully under- stood, is determined to enforce certain regulations affecting ritual; and some of the clergy, it is said, are equally determined not to yield. This clerical conference, therefore, may well be looked forward to with eager in- terest. Easter being later, and experience from repeated failures not being altogether lost sight of, I venture to predict, after reading the letter of an enthusiastic member of a rifle corps, that the volunteer review on the breezy Brighton downs on Monday will prove a far greater success than usually attends these citizen-soldier de- monstrations. rhe railway company, however, are taking unusual precautions to perfect their airangements and those of your readers who desire to know what these arrangements are may get particulars by addressing in- quiries to the Railway Inquiry Office, 7, Pavilion Build- ings, Brighton, which has been opened for the purpose of supplying information. The Brighton people are making frantic efforts to provide entertainments for the week, and on Sunday a church parade will be called at head- quaitersof each regiment. The service is to be cele- brated at the Pavilion Dome Assembly Room, which alone can be made to accommodate 4,000 volunteers. Nothing seems too extravagant or too stupid for the American papers. A recent one contains this advertise- ment :—" All persons are hereby not only warned, but absolutely forbidden, to give me credit on any pretence whatever, as from this day forward I shall not pay any debt contracted by myself." A very droll announcement that; it may be intensely funny, if we could only see it. But really there might be some sound common sense in such an advertisement, rather differently worded, being issued at home. It is well known that many people who have the means and the will to pay ready money find a greit difficulty in being allowed to do so. A university student, for example, may desire and even strive to pay ready money-the case is comparatively rare perbllps- but the tradesmen won't let him. And the lady who strives to pay for everything as it is brought to the home, often finds it equally difficult. We are always hearing from tradesmen of the evils of credit and the losses from bad debts but all the fault is not one side. Many tradesmen will give credit, somehow or other, whether you like or not. London, Thursday.

Mr Charles Dickens presided, on Tuesday eveting, at the annual festival in aid of the funds of the Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution. The chairman made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the objects of the institu- tion, and in illustration of the peculiar experiences of the newsvendor, he related an anecdote to this effect :-Some yfars ago, on a stormy night, he was kindly escorted from a bleak railway station to the little out-of-the-way town it represented by a sprightly and vivacious newsman, to whom he propounded this question—What was the all-absorbing passion of the human soul ? To this he replied, without the slightest hesitation, that it certainly was the passion of getting a newspaper in advance of one's fellow creatures • also, if one only hired it, to get it delivered at one's own door at exactly the same moment as another man who had hired the same copy four miles off; and, finally, the invincible determination on the part of both men not to believe that the time was up when the boy called for it.

G Tippinge, on Thursday last, for neglecting to comply with a magistrate's order for the maintenance of an illegitimate child. He was committed to Ruthin gaol for one month with hard labour. SALE OF HUNTERS.—Four hunters belonging to Lord Hill Trevor were put up for sale by Messrs. Gnifitbs and Roberts at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham, on Thursday last. Mr Griffiths sold them, and they were knocked down as follows :—Fir^t, 100 guineas second, 50 guineas third, 40 guineas fourth, 30 guineas. RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FAIR.—Excursion (rains will run from Ruabon on Monday for the fair. Oa the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Rai.wav, cheap excursions will run from Mold and Buckley and inter- mediate stations to Wrexham, and on Tuesdav, Wednes- day, and Thursday, an extra train will leave Wrexham at 8.15 p.m. MEETING OF THE SANITARY AND BUILDINGS' COM- MITTEE.—A meeting of this committee was held on Friday week, when there were j resent:—Mr T. E vton Jones in r the chair; Mr Alderman Bury, and Mr William Thomas. It was decided that Messrs. Buiitih and Jones be employed to let by auction the whole of the arable land at Hafody- wtrn farm not at present under cultivation, containing about seven acres, and that the Town Clerk be ins ruct-d to advertise such letting for Thursday (last) at the Wynn- stay Arms Hotel. ST. MARK'S CHURCH.—During Lent the Gregorian and Parisian tones have taken ttie place of Anglican chants. The psalms have been monotoned and a hymn sung instead of the anthem. On Easter Day there will be full Cathedral service, the service for the Te Deum and Jubilate being by Dykes, the anihem "0 give thanks" Goss (composed specially for St. Paul's Cathedral Choir). The evening service will be Ebdon in C, and the authem Chriht is risen," Dr. Elwy. Sunday evening services are shortly to be held in the church in place of the afternoon services. ACCIDENT TO MR RASBOTHAM IN THE HUNTING FIELD. -On Monday last, the day on which the last meet but one of Sir W. W. Wynn's hounds took place, a serious accident occurred to Mr Doming Rasbotham, of Gresford, while following them. He was taking a low hedge from an old road below Brvnvgrog into a field, when the horse fell, and he had his thigh broken in two places. Dr. Manesty happened to be with the hounds at the time, aud attended to Mr Rasbotliam. He was taken home in a carriage, and from inquiries made on Thursday evening he was progressing very favourably. EASTER HOLIDAYS.—The Gieat Western Rtilway intend catering largely in excursions for the Easter holidays. They announce cheap excursions on Thursday next for Wolver- hampton and all intermediate stations ta London to Shrewsbury and stations beyond to Worcester, Malvern, Bath, Bristol; and to Corwen, Bain, Dolgeilev, and Barmouth, returning on the following Tuesday. Also on Good Friday, excursions will run to Corwen, Bala, and Dolgelley Shrewsbury and intermediate stations as far as Wolverhampton and also to Birkenhead and Liver- pool. The Wrexham, Moll, and Connah's Quay Railway also announce special trains tMold, Denbigh, and Rhyl. The fineness ol the weather, no doubt, will attract a large number of excursionists. HIGHWAYS' C«MMITTEE.—A meeting of the members of this committee was held yesterday (Friday) afternoon, when there were present—Mr Alderman Jones (in the chair), Mr Alderman Bury, Mr Low, Mr T. Williams, Mr Hugh Davies, and Mr John Davies. A person named John Cartwright applied for leave to erect a wooden work- shop on the site of the old pinfold in the Beast Miirket, but it was declined. Ms Hugh Davies moved and Mr Alderman Bury seconded that the stocks in the Beast Market, about which some humorous remarks were made, be removed, and the motion was carried by a majority, Mr Williams contending that they ought to remain as a relic of antiquity.—The committee agreed to allow half the expense in flagging in front of Mr McDermott's pro- pelty in Yorke-street, and to repair the flagging in front of the Lion Hot 1. NARROW ESCAPES.-On Monday last, some mischievous urchins collected some loose straw from around a stack of barley belonging to Mr Alfred T. Jones, at Cae Shack. and set it on fire. A young man from the Swan Inn, having noticed the smoke, went and put out the flame, the stack itself being in great danger of taking fire. The services of the engine, which was called out, were not required.- Yesterday (Friday) morning a fire occurred at the shop in Church-street from which Mr Roadnight is removing. A lot of soot collected in a chimney, in which there was wood, had taken fire, which was in danger of extending to the shop until it was extinguished by a few buckets of water, without the hand engine in attendance being used. In consequence of his removing to Hope- street, Mr Roadnight had allowed his fire policy to lapse. Too LENIENT.—From the accounts of the police the light-fingered gentry" who have paid a visit to the fair are neither few nor far between. On Thursday last, a fight took place between two butchers at Messrs. Griffiths and Roberta's Auction Mart., during which Mr Roberts, of Higher Berse, fastened hold of a man who had his hand in a pocket containing E200. Instead of detaining him until the police came up, he let the man go. Mr Davies, fishmonger, of Beast Market, and another man seized the thief, but Mr Roberts refused to give him into custody, remarking that as his money was safe ha did not mind. The thief was doubtless thaukful to him for his false clemency, and took to his heels over the fields, and a person, coolly smoking a cigar, who was ap- parently his companion, also thought it prudent to make himself scarca before the arrival of the police, who had been sent for to the row. THE COMIXO-OF-AGE OF PHILIP YORKE, ESQ.-A meeting of the committee was held at the Wynnstay Arm- Hotel on Thursday last, when there were present:—The Vicar, Mr James (hon. sec.), Mr Webster, Mr William Thomas, Mr Humphreys (Hafodybwch), Mr T. E. Min- shall, Mr Wilcock, Mr Edward Smith, jun. After a dis- cussion, it was moved by Mr Webster, and seconded by Mr James, that E10 be allowed for carrying on rejoicings at Ruabon, and an amendment was moved by Mr Smith, seconded by Mr Minshall, that JB8 be allowed. The amendment was carried by the casting vote of the chair- man.—Mr Tench's name was added to the ball and ban- quet committee. It was decided that the ball tickets should be reduced to 6s and 5s, and it is hoped that there will be a very large attendance. The dinner tickets will be 6s. A meeting of the teachers took place in the Savings' Bank yesterday, to arrange respecting the re- joicings. THE GAS QUESTION.—We have received the following letter too late for insertion in the usual columns SIR, I should not trouble you with a letter this week were it not that I apprehend a misconstruction might be put upon my silence. I have now merely to say that Mr Alderman Bury's letter of last week contains no argument, which was not anticipated by my letter of the previous week. When Mr Bury brings forward any fresh argument on his side dealing with the merits of the question, I shall be most happy to meet or reply to him. But I entirely decline to be betrayed into an exchange of personalities, which are undignified and worse thaw useless. I sieze this opportunity to thank Mr Overton for his candid assumption that the tone of my previous letter may be regarded as a fresh instance of the spirit of forbearance, which the opposition are at all times said to have exhibited.—I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. B. MURLESS." SANITARY AND BUILDINGS' COMMITTEE A meeting of this committee was held yesterday (Friday), when there were present—Mr Alderman Bury (in the chair), Mr Alderman Jones, Mr Hugh Davies, and Mr E. Lloyd. Letters from Mr T. Eyton Jones and Dr. Browne drew attention to a nuisance at the back of the new Catholic schools and the Borough Surveyor said Mr Eyton had pioinised to remedy the matter.—The Chairman aid there were six cases of typhus fever in a house in Abbot-street, two having died and the surveyor's attention was drawn to the matter, and directed to use disinfectants.—The Surveyor reported that fourteen acres of arable land at Hafodywern Farm had been let, namely lot 1, 8) acres, to Mr James, for fl9 5s. lot 2, 5a. Ir. 31p., te the same per- son, for jE14 5s.-The Surveyor stated the sewage had been turned upon the meadows at the farm.—The follow- ing plans were passed :—Alterations at the Nelson's Arms, Hope-street; two villas, to be built by Mr S. Jones, in Grosvenor road; additions to Mr G. Bradley's house in Grove Park fourteen cottages, to be erected by Mr M. Evans, of Marchwiel, in Hightown, subject to certain conditions; alterations of plans of four houses, to be erected in Farndon-etreet, by Mrs Daviee, of Whitchurch.
