This company is formed for the purpose of raising brine from the great salt deposits on the estate of A. H. Smith- Barry, Esq., of Marhnrv. Cheshire, conveying it in iron pipes to the port of Runcorn on the Mersey, and erecting there extensive works capable of ultimately producing 21X1,000 tons of salt per annum, by which means it can be manufactured at a ci st considerably less than at existing works in the stilt ilistricts, and also generally for the pur- poses specified in the memorandum of association. The arrangements %N ill include the supply of brine in its natural state to the chcmicul manufacturers uf Runcorn, and a subsequent extension to Widnes and St Helens is also con- templated. With these objects in view, the company acquires the transfer of a very valuable agreement from Mr Smith- Barry for lease for a term of 99 years, at royalties under 2d per ton of salt, the rates ordinarily p-Aid in the district being about till per ton. Important wayleaves over all the intervening estates, enabling the brine to be conveyed from Northwich to liuncoru, a distance of 13 miles have also been arranged, and an admirable site has been arranged for the works at the latter town, in close proximity to the ¡ dock and basin of the Bridgewater navigation, and includ- ing siding communication with the London and North- Western Railway. By virtue of these leases and wayleaves the company will possess special, if not absolutely exclusive, advantages for the supply i?f brine to the great consuming centres. The Sa!t trade, with the exception of coal and iron, is the most important mineral industry in the kingdom. The Cheshire salt district yields four-tifths of the total supply, furnishing 1,000 0" tons per annum for export from Liverpool, a' d epwards of -luO,nOO to the chemical works of Widnes and the neighbouring town". The existing salt works in the Cheshire district, though carrying on a prosperous trade, are subject to heavy clifirgi 8 in respect of duos, flights, <tc., on salt shipped via the River Weaver to Runcorn and Liverpool, the rates charged to the trade being 2s (Id and 3s (id per ton respectively the cost of common salt at Isorthui. h being about 5s per ton. If destined for export from Runcorn, salt under the present system requires transhipment from theba ges into seagoing vtssels. These heavy chatges will be avoided, and this company will lie in a position to command the bulk of the coasting and foreign trade from Runcrm, averaging at present 20(1.000 tons per annum, .ind also largely supply the Liverpool market. Coal or 81 ck. which is largely consumed in the manufac- ture of salt, is cheaper at Runcorn than at Nortlnvich. By acquiring the various concessions above detailed, this company will effect a saving equivalent to 2t1 per cent < n all salt manufactured at the Runcorn Works, and this in addition to the saving in the eg-st of coal, while the excep- tionally favorable rates on which the royalties aie based will enable the brine to he delivered at Runcorn at lower charges than are generally paid by the salt manufacturers at Nortliwieh. After the most careful calculations, indllrling Hie ccst of wear and tear, Ac., it is anticipated that the profit on the manufacture of salt alone at Rnnmro will enable the company to pay dividends of at least SO per cent on the capital subscribed. A further source of eventual profit isantieipated from the supply of hrilie in its natural state to the chemical manu- facturers of Widnes, Ht. Helens, and Runcorn, for utilisa- tion in various b anches of their trade, If satisfactory arrangements can be made with the authorities and manu- facturers, the directors will be willing to supply Widnes with brine by means of lighters, as sotin as possible after the completion of the line of ripes from Nortliwieh to IJnncorn. The salt works in th-, NoTthwich district, in consequence of the continual extraction of brine, are subject to such occasional subsidences as occurred in December last, when six works were disabled. The works of the company at Runcorn will not be subject to such contingency they will be built upon solid ground nearly 13 miles distant from the salt districts. Particular attention is called to tne :mnexen report ot .1. F. Bateman, Esq, O.K., F the company's engineer, in which the w. rks f r raising the brine and conveying it to Runcorn are described as of a very simple character. Mr Bateman estimates their cost, exclusive of that of the evaporating works. at A'lOii.OOO. Contracts have been entered into with Messrs. Smith, Finlayson, and Co., of Westminster, for the execution of the general works, and with Messrs. James Watt and Co., of Solio, Birmingham, for the machinery, at prices within the above estimates. The varions agreements for leases and wayleaves have been grai.ted to Mr Thomas Coglan Horsiall, but only as agent for Mr Godfrey Joachim Aman. who is the promoter of tho company, and who joins Mr Horsfall in the assign- ment of these agreements. The price agreed to be paid to Mr Aman for the transfer of these very valuable agreements is the sum of £ 27,500 in cash, together with 1,250 fully paid-up shares in the com- pany of £10 each. Mr Aman will pay a sum of ;CtO,O!iO t,) the trustees, in order to provide interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the cumpany during the period of construction up to the delivery of the brine at Runcorn. He also be..rs and will indemnify the company against all expenses incidental to its formation, with the exception of the charges of its own solicitors, and a sum equivalent to li per cent. on the amount of the pre- sent issue to pay for brokerage, Ac. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for an official quotation of the shares of the company The contracts which have been entered into are the fol- lowing, and may be s en at the Officer, of the Solicitors to the Company, Messrs Baxters and Co., 5 and ti, Victoria- street, Westminster: One dated the 29th day of March, made between Thomas Coglan Horsfall of the first part, Godfrey Joachim Aman of the second part, and Thomas John Woods, a trustee for the company, of the third part, heins the agree- ment for purchase hy which the company will acquire the agreements for leases therein set forth, subject to the per- formance of the obligations by such leasts and agreements foi leases impo-edupon the lessee.

The Company is laying down plant capable of pro- ducing three thousand dozen hottles of their various beverages per day. But calculating only two thousand dozen bottles per day at the very moderate rate of profit of 6tl per dozen nett on all productions will show a total profit of £15000 per annum, which upon a paid-up Capital of £ 50,000. is equal to 30 per cent. The Directors of this Com- pany, therefore have every confidence in recommending the undertaking to their friends and the public as a good. sound, and safe investment, and with a Beverage that has secured a Prize Medal f..r its excellence, in addition to their other productions, they believe that their anticipa- tions will be fully justified by the results.

-j'J' .I,J' "0.1 Two GREAT SPEECHES IN ONE WEEK, besides public business of all kinds to attend to. This is what Mr Gladstone has laid himself out for next week. A Budget speech on Monday and an exposition of the Land Bill on Thursday not a bad spell for a septuagenarian. Mr Glad- I stone is, we are glad to say, quite himself again, and the odds are that he will perform his extraordinary teat without turning a hair. Of the two the Budget speech will be the least exhausting. It is always inspiriting to speak to a Prosperity Budget, and Mr Gladstone will have that magic of assured success which is alone the secret of success. It is over the Land speech that we wish him safe and happy despatch.

j AN ATTACK OF BKONCHIAL ASTHMA with j symptoms of flying gout is always serioup, and in an octogenarian may mean mischief to the heart. Hence, when we read that Lord Beaeoiisfield is seriously unwell, we can see that it means a good deal. Still, the Press says little 11pnn it, and it is needless to remark the country would scarcely understand the anxiety j which would have been felt if only two years ago we had had reports like those which now appear, though, even now, there is a vast amount; of anxiety not only among tIw raLks of the nobis Farl's own party, but on all sides in both House's of Parliament, and throughout the country. A country cannot afford to lose its! greatest men, and we all feel that Lord Beacons- I field is in the front rank of our statesmen. We are sure we are expressing the hope of the nation when we pray for his speedy recovery. THE Mersey Salt and Brine Company (Limited) offer for subscription 20,000 shares of zElO each, part of a total capital of £ 250,000. The Company is formed for the purpose of rais- ing brine from the salt deposits on the estate of Mr Smith-Barry, of Marbury, Cheshire, and conveying it in iron pipes to Runcorn, for man- ufacture in extensive works to be erected for the purpose. The full prospectus will be found in our advertising columns.

We ARE GLAD TO STATE that the orders in Council restricting the removal of live stock under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act expired on Thursday, and so far as Wales is concerned have not been renewed. A s there is every probability that circumstances no longer require a continuance of these harassing restric- tions, those interested in our markets and fairs, more especially the farmers, will be able to enjoy their privileges of buying and selling live stock, and removing in what direction they require, without let or hindrance. This applies to Wales, but we cannot speak positively with regard to the adjoining English counties.

THE UNION OF ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES in North Wales has become a fact of considerable importance to that denomination. The meeting held last week at Newtown is the fourth Annual Assembly, and it was the largest and most important yet held. From the report we gather that a healthy activity exists through- out the churches, and that both numerically and financially progress is being made. Among the subjects discussed, was a motion by Mr Haffer in favor of a denominational organ at a cheaper rate than the hukpendent, The resolution was passed after considerable debate. It was de- cided to hold next year's meeting at Wrexham.

THE ARMY DISCIPLINE AND REGULATION BILL for the year was read a second time without a division on Monday. The measure is in the hands of the Judge Advocate General, Mr Os- borne Morgan, who moved the second reading in a speech of studied moderation and conspicu- ous ability. The principal point in the speech was no doubt the defence of the radical change contemplated by the measure, viz., the abolition of flogging in the Army. This change was in- evitable after the discussions of last year. Then the Cat was scotched—now it is killed. We give a full report of the right hon. gentleman's speech in another column. It is amusing to read the London Correspondent of the Liverpool Courier, who appears to be imperatively bound to run down Welsh Liberal members, when he says that Mr Osborne Morgan sat down with- out a single cheer," and then turn to the Par- liamentary report of the same paper on the same day, and see appended "loud cheers?"

THE WREXHAM TOWN COUNCIL, by an unani- mous vote of all the members, passed a resolu- tion memorialising the Charity Commissioners to issue a scheme for the resuscitation of the Grammar School in the existing premises. Mr Jno. Jones moved the resolution in an able speech, in which he reviewed the history of the school, and the efforts recently made for its rehabilitation. As the effort made by the trustees, with the consent of the Charity Com- missioners, to sell the present school premises failed for want of purchasers, it certainly appears the best course to utilize them as formerly. If a scheme were drafted, approved, and executed, with an efficient body of managers as contemplated by the Council when Mr Durn- ford held the enquiry, no doubt an efficient master could be secured, who would give vitality to the school. This would secure some degree of prosperity, and in a few years probably it would be possible to secure better premises, and a better market for the present place. We shall be glad to see the result contemplated by the resolution carried out by those in authority.

LAST WEEK SIR ROBERT CUNLIFFE presented a memorial to Mr Gladstone from Wrexham in support of the Government in their pacific policy in the Transvaal and congratulations on its success, which has since been acknowledged by Mr Gladstone's private secretary. We understand that something like three hundred memorials of a similar purport have been sent to the Premier during the last few days from all: parts of the country. The basis of peace ac- cepted by both sides is probably the best pos- sible under the circumstances, and we are con- fident that it has the approbation of the country generally, though, no doubt, the few survivors of Jingoism here and there think it very lament- able. The high and impartial opinion of the American Minister, Mr Lowell, expressed a few days since, that History will say that it was the first time that under similar circumstances a great and Christian country acted as such," will, no doubt, moderate the feeling of some of those enthusiasts who place national glorifica- tion above Christianity or it-s first principles. It is all very well to be able to shout nod is on our side, but before we can do this with effect we should show by our actions that we are on God's side.

—v— THE ALLIANCE ASSURANCE COMPANY held its annual meeting at the London offices on Wednesday, Sir N. Rothschild presiding. From the Directors' report, which was read by the Secretary, Mr Lewis, it appears that the prosperity which has been referred to by us during the past two or three years, still con-I tinues to attend it. The fire insurance fund ha been increased during the year from E528,112 to £ 552,090. This is nearly as much as double the annual lire income. The directors have prudently resolved to divide only 15 per cent. on the share capital for the year 1881, and all surplus is carried to the fire reserves. The amount of money which the Alliance has now available for the purpose of meeting fire losses is, paid-up capital, 1:550,000, fire insurance fund, £ 552,000 together, £ 1,102,000. At the back of this is a subscribed capital of something like 94,500)000 sterling. The life insurance fund amounts to 21,137,836. The total assets of the office, therefore, now amount to £ 2,239,937. In the life department 398 new policies were issued, covering the sum of R340,140, of which E43,500 was given off. The net life premium income now amounts to £ 101,980. The report was unanimously adopted. It is a satisfaction to us locally that this prosperous company has one of its most important branches in Wrexham, and that it's able and energetic secretary, Mr R. Lewis, commenced his career in this town, and is a native of the neighbourhood.

Local News. -w -i J' 23KD REGIMENT.—Under recent changes ap- proved of by the Queen, the establishment of the 1st Battalion 23rd R.W.F., or now the North Wales Regiment, will be increased from 884 to 916. The difference in the establishment of the infantry is a reduction from 118,621 of all rarks, to 115,833. CONFIRMATION AT GWERSYLLT.—The Lord Bishop of the Diocese will old a Confirmation in the Parish Church on Friday morning next, at 11 o'clock. The number of candidates to be presented from Gwersyllt this year is very large. 119 being now in course of preparation. There will be several adult baptisms next Wednesday evening in the Parish Church. During his stay at Gwersyllt, the Bishop will be the guest of Mrs Irven, Oak Alyn. YOUXG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.— The discussion class of this association had under con- sideration on Tuesday night, the question "Is Cremation a better method of disposing of the dead than by Interment." Mr Seymour Jones read a paper advocating cremation principally on sanitary grounds. Diagrams of several crematoiiums were also displayed and lucidly explained by the essayist. Mr Samuel Lee led off on the opposite side pointing out several defects in the arguments of Mr Jones, and defending interment. The dis- cussion was well-sustained, Mr J. C. Gittins, in an able speech, supporting cremation. Mr Chadwick who presided, having spoken, the votes were taken, and cremation was accorded the best method for disposing of the dead by a substantial majority. On Tuesday next the question Is Capital Pnn?hmeBt ever justifiable" will be answered. i FREE LIBRARY. Attendance this week :— Thursday, 165; Friday, 198 Saturday, 205; Monday, 201; Tuesday, 155; Wednesday, 200. SIR ROBERT CUNLIFFE, the member for the Denbigh Boroughs, is at present engaged on an important Parliamentary Committee on railways. MEETING OF DRAPERS.—A meeting of drapers was held on Friday morning, when it was resolved to close the shops on all Fridays throughout April at six o'clock, and at the end of that time to call a meeting of till town tradesmen to see if the closing at six o'clock on Fridays could not be continued as a general rule. THE WREXHAM HORTICULTURAL FLORAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY through its energetic Hon. Secretary and Treasurer (Mr J. B. Shirley), has sent out a circular to the surrounding gentry asking for additional patrons, patronesses, and subscrip- tions. The circular closes by pointing out that as the committee wish to publish their schedule as soon as possible an early answer is desirable. We hope that the efforts of the committee will be heartily responded to by our townsfolk and country neigh bours. WREXHAM BICYCLE CLUB.—The first run of the above club takes place this (Saturday) afternoon to Llangollen, starting from the Club-rooms. Y.M. C. A., Argyle-street, at three p.m. The Captain (Mr Groom) has generously promised to defray the en- tire expense of tea at the Royal Hotel, and, if the weather is favorable, a pleasant run is anticipated. Bicyclists desirous of joining the Club as members are desired to communicate with the hon. sec- retary, 9, Hope-street, Wrexham. FIRE.-On Sunday night about half-past nine o'clock an alarm was given at the fire engine station Chester-street that a fire had broken out at Pickliill Hall, the residence of Mr Harold Lees. After some little delay the brigade proceeded to the spot but they were met by another messeiver on King's Mills hill who said that their services were not required for the fire had been put out. The engine therefore returned. We arc informed that the 0 fire occurred in the gas house and damage to the amount of flOO was caused. The loss is not cjver- ed by insurance. THE TENOR COMPETITION IN THE rOBLIC HALL. —Eos Meirion wou the first prize, and Mr J. Parry, Wrexham, came in for the second prize. Mr Simon Davies stood only one vote below the winner of the second prize. We arc requested to state that Eos Brymbo and Alaw Christionydd were not present at the above competition, but Mr John Hughes, of Rhos, represented" Eos." We omitted from the list of competitors the name of Mr J. Parry, Wrex. ham, who, it will be seen, was the winner of the second prize. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—On Sunday, the annual sermons were preached and collections made in the various churches iu the town on be- half of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, to which the Church people of Wrexham are more deeply indebted than to any other, the Society contribut- ing LISO a year towards the stipends of the as- sistant clergy of the parish, and without it the ser- vices at Rhosddu and Hightown cculd not be maintained, with the following results, viz.: Parish Church, JE29 12s St. James', Rhosddu, JE14 Ss 6d; St. Mark's, £ 3 2s ûd; St. John's, Hightown, £1 2s. WKEXIIAM AND DISTRICT TEACHERS' ASSOCIA- TION.—The quarterly meeting of this association is convened for Saturday next, 0th April, at Ruabon, at two p.m., when a paper will be read by Mr J. Haughton, N. S., Wrexham, on Penmanship, and also one by Mr J. Clarke, B. S., Llangollen, on The bright side of the profession." Considering that this is the first meeting after the annual meet- ing a more than ordinary attendance of teachers is anticipated. All teachers in the district are most cordially invited, as the agenda for the Eastern Conference of the N. U. E. T. in London will be brought under the consideration of the meeting. SEASONABLE AND EXEMPLARY BENEVOLENCE.— During the continuous hard weather that has prevailed throughout the past winter, and the con- sequent scarcity of employment, many of the poorer classes found it a difficult task to supply their families with the common necessaries of life. Under these circumstances the duty of sending their children to school became with many parents almost a dead letter. It therefore gives us great pleasure to record that the children connected with several poor families had their school fees paid by Mr Peter Walker during the period to which we refer, whereby a benefit has been conferred on the children which may permanently profit them through life, a benefit in which the schools will be joint participators. THE PANTOMIME.—On Tuesday and Wednesday the Royal Comedy-Drama Company, now on their second year's tonr, paid visits to Wrexham, and produced a grand Spectacnbr, Comical, Ol'igin:\l, II Christmas Comic Pantomime, entitled Dick Whit- tington and his Cat." The pantomime was a very fair one, considering the many difficulties attending the production of a pantomime in a provincial hall; but the audiences which assembled to witness the performances were but meagre. The character of Dick Wliittington was ably represented by Miss Maggie Gardiner, and Master Harry Rogerson was highly amusing as Dick s Cat. Mr Tom Lacey, as Sarah, created constant laughter, the other charac- ters sustaining their allotted parts With SUCCCSS. The scenery and appointments were good, and it is a great pity the Company were not better sup- ported. WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOLS.—On Wednesday night a special service was held in the Wesleyan Chapel, at which a collection was made in aid of the local Sunday schools. Bills had been in circulation stating that the Rev. Charles Garratt, of Liverpool, would preach, and a large congrega- tion assembled for the purpose of hearing this able minister. The Rev. Ebenezer Evans, however, occupied the pulpit, and read a telegram from Mr Garratt, in which it was stated that lie was suffering from a severe cold, and his medical adviser pro- hibited his leaving his room. Mr Emails took the place of Mr Garratt, and preached a very able sermon from Phillipians ii, 12 and 13,—" Where- fore, my beloved, as ye have always obevcd, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will, and to do of his good pleasure." THE LATE LECTURE ON CARLYLE.—We are re- quested to correct several errors which inadver- tently crept into our summarised report of the recent lecture on the late Thomas Caviyle by the Rev. J. Bentley. Referring to Luther, the lec- turer said he was "great, not as a polished statue, but as an Alpine mountain." Mr Bcntley also said that Frederick the Great" wits a work of ten volumes, and that Carlyle devoted thirteen years to its preparation and the words A perfect woman, m.-iily plnnn<-<l To warn, to comfort, to commumt, thoroughly domesticated, and deeply !JÍ< a noble wife, and a true mother," were used in reference to Ctrl?,les mother, not his wife. The lecturer likewise remarked that in Sartor Re.ai-ttis we read" truth is our Divinity," not that they were the opening wirds" of that work, as erroneously reported.

THE CATHOLIC E.XTFRTAIN.ItE-,T.-We are pleased to state that the net profit realised by the recent entertainment given in aid of St. Mary's Catholic Schools amounted to about £ 1(5. THE IN-SANTE and Non-alcoholic Beverage ,N t)ll-;t l co i i(o l ic l i evera,(,Ie Company, Limited, share list, in consequence of the great demand for shares, will be CIUSLd for London next Thursday, and for the country next Friday. TEMPERANCK HALL.—Wc would draw the atten- tion of our readers to the temperance meeting on Monday next, when the Rev. Mr Barker, one of her Majesty's chaplains is announced to speak. (See advertisement.) TEMPERANCE TREAT.—The Haste to the Rescue Lodge held an open session on Thursday evening when an excellent entertainment was provided. The hall was tolerably well filled. Mi Councillor J. M. Jones, J.P., presided. SCHOOL BOARDS.—During the week there were meetings of the Brymbo, Broughton, and Stansty School Boards. The business at each was purely formal. All the Boards adopted a petition in favour of Sunday closing for Wales. WREXHAM PROVIDENT DISPENSARY.—We under- stand that a meeting of all the medical men in Wrexham was neld in Mr J. Oswell Bury's officee, during the week, with reference to the medical at- tendance at the proposed Provident Dispensary. A resolution was passed to the effect that one hon. consulting physician, one hon. consulting surgPOD, and six medical officers shouid form the working staff. There will be a meeting of the committee held next week to confirm the arrangements and to decide upon commencing operations on the 1st of July. HOPE SCHOOL BOARD.—A meeting of this Board was held on Thursday, when there were present the Rev. J. Rowland in the chair, Revs. T. R. Lloyd, R. C. Jones. and Mr FrlJt. A circular letter was read from the Dean of B.mjror and the Principal of the Normal College. Bangor, asking the Board to petition Parliament in favor of the Sunday Closing (Wales) Bill. The Rev. T. R. Lloyd proposed, and the Chairman seconded, that the petition be not adopted. This was carricd on the ground that the deprecated ?e,Pirate legislation for Wales, out they exitressed them- selves in favor of a bill for Sunday Closing for England and Wales. The resignation of Miss Sutton, Penyllordil Schooi. was accepted. The reports of the attendance officers were read, and the Board determined to act m ire stringently with irregular attendera in view of the improved weather. This concluded the business. THE MILITIA.—The recruits of the Royal Den- bigh and Merioneth Militia assembled at the head- fpiarters on Mouday to undergo their annual 35 days' preliminary drill, prior to the assembling of the main body of the regiment on the 2nd May. The officers present are Captain and Adjutant W. F. J. Cowan, Lieutenant Lane, and Quartermaster Kenny, and the recruits, who appear to be a lot of smart, able-bodied young fellows, are already making satisfactory progress in their drill under the able tuition of Sergt.-Major Pho-nix and the members of the Permanent Staff, no effort beint* spared to promote the efficiency of the regiment. The numbers are—133 recruits, '2 sergeants, 5 corporals, and :o old hands, there being 21 recruits absent. The total strength of the regiment is 903 —23 officers and 880 rank and file. We understand the conduct of the recruits so far has been in all rcapects exemplary, and they will no doubt do credit to their preliminary training by the date of the general muster. TEA PAHTY AND CONCERT.—On Monday, a tea party and concert were held in the Temperance Hall by a number of friends who are anxious to build a new Welsh Baptist Chapel in Wrexham. The tea was laid in the hall very tastefully, and the following ladies presided at the tea table, viz., Mrs Simon Jones, Hope-street Mrs Bavley, King- street Mrs Jenkins, Cunliffc-street; Mrs Faeirs, Osborne-terrace Mrs Jones, Chester-street Miss E. Jones, Rose Villa; Miss S. Jones. Crosvenor- road Miss M. Roberts, King-street Mrs T. Jones, Queen-street Miss J. E. Jones, Miss M. Evans, Mrs Jones, Madeira Hid Miss Mary Humphreys, Hope-street; and Miss Ann Davies, High street. Later in the evening a very successful concert was held, under the presidency of the Mayor (Mr G. Bradley). The principal artiste was Miss Jennie Owen, Holywell, who sang several songs in a de- lightful manner. The Hirdir Glee Party, under the leadership of Mr T. Davies, sang well and a novelty to Wrexham, an instrumental quartette, sustained their parts satisfactorily. The attendance was large, and we believe a good sum has been ob- tained for the worthy object in view. ABENBCKY SCHOOL BOARD.—A meeting of this Board was held on Thursday, when there were present. Mr T. P. Jonos-Parry in the chair, Capt. Godfrey, Messrs. Ellis, Davies, and Daulby. A petition in favor of Sunday Closing in Wales was adopted, and signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Board, and ordered to be forwarded to ir W. W. Wynn. Some of the mem bers of the Boaid were opposed to the petition because they objected to separate legislation for Wales on the matter, but they withdrew their objection without dividing. The triennial election of seven members to form this board will take place on the 11th inst. Thurs- day was the last day for receiving nomination?. The following are nominated Mr T. P. Jono Parry, Llwynonn Hall; Mr R. Ellis, Tynycoed Mr D. Daulby. Plas Issa Mr Jno. Burroughs, Rhosnessney and Mr Edward Davies, 5, Erddig- road, Wrexham. It will be seen that there are only five nominations for seven seats. There will therefore be no contest, and the remaining two members will be elected by the above live. BERSHAM SCHOOL BOAIID.—At an ordinary meet- ing of the Board held at the Clerk's offices, 021 Thursday, there were present Mr S. T. Baugh (chairman), Mr R. Phennah, Mr Barratt, Mr Seth Jones, Mr Joseph Jones. Mr T. Roberts, and Mr Isaac Jones Mr T. Bury, clerk.—For the situation of School Board oflicer thirteen applications were sent in, and testimonials were read. Mr T. Roberts (who was formerly attendance officer), being a candidate for the office, and intending to resign as a member of the Board if elected, left the room. The Clerk advised that a member of the Board was not eligible, but could give a month's notice of resignation and could then be appointed. Six members thus being left the following three candidates were proposed and seconded :—Evan Evans, Loft Wen William Davies, Coedpoeth and Albert Edwards, Bersham. On going to the vote, there was an equal number for each candidate, when after considerable discus- sion the Chairman gave his casting vote in favor of Mr Albert Ed wards, who was appointed for three months on triaL-The Chairman's motion for in- creasing the salaries of the teachers at Penygclli Boys' School hy£JO per annum ca<:h was carried with one dissentient, Mr Heth Jones.—M iS8 Dall, head mistress, Penygclli Girls' School, tendered her resignation, which was accepted with regret, the Clerk being instructed to ad vertise foL' a successor at £80 per annum.—Applications for an iucrtase of salary by the assistant teachers of the School, Penygelli, were d--ferred for one month.—A me- morial in favor of the Sunday Closing of Public- houses in Wales was laid before the Board, and unanimously adopted on the motion of the Chair- man, seconded by Mr Heth Jones. A CONGREGATIONAL NEWSPAPER.—1The christian World, in its Notes by the Way," has the follow- ing upon the Rev. H. J. Hatter's motion at the Newtown Association, as reported in another column :—At a Welsh Congregational Association meeting the other day, a provincial brother, evidently having no knowledge of the subject of his motion, proposed a resolution in favor of start- ing a cheap denominational paper wherein it should not be allowed to be known to its young readers that there is any other sect in England at this day save and except Independents. The representative character of the 2^oncoiiforfn.ixt ttiul Indej)eiukn' seems to have been freely allowed, so far as one can judge by the brief reports in the local paper but besides the objection as to its high price, it was urged against that able journal that other orthodox denominations got their news into its columns What the Independents wanted, according to this gentleman, was something exclusive—a paper all to themselves. Our own opinion is that that is just what the Independents do not want. They are not such narrow souls as some would make them out to be and the complaint is con- stantly heard at the Congregational Union meet- ings, and elsewhere, that their purely denomi- national literature is largely neglected by the body, and is, consequently, unprofitable to the publishers. Mr S. Morley, M.P., and the Rev. A. Hannay, who were present, did not give much practical encouragement to the project, and well they might not, with the so recent disastrous failure of the misleading Si;/nal before their eye, which, it may be remarked, has left some of its shareholders almost in beggary. It is to be hoped, for their own sake. that the next denominational adventurers in this costly and difficult business will have some fair knowledge of it, and count well the cost before embarking in it. If simple folks in the country are asked to take shares, they should think twice before doing so, and consult their more experienced friends."
