STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. j VVTAT;I8M is a deadly and benumbing creed. t is as immovable as a rock and as blighting as tie East wind. Nations which have been in- sulated with it, Pttch as China and Turkey, -over have nor can they progress, for it is something worse than conservative in its ri-n(lencies. It raises an impenetrable barrier nirainst all improvement, and makes men care- less, improvident, and idle. What is to be, is to be, say its deluded believers, and there is an end of it. If a man is born to be drowned irowned he will be, and it is useless for him to 1 'ike any precautions to prevent it. There is a lime appointed for all men to die, so what flifference can it make whether the event be the result of a fever brought on by miasmata which might have been removed, or of old age, ince the time" cannot be accelerated or i npeded? Cholera, therefore, is deemed a "visitation," and deaths caused by the most wilful negligence, a "Providence." Toargne with tlliq elis-, of persons is a useless waste of t'me, for they are impervious to reason as lit! blind man is to deductions based upon the Ti"rception of material objects. The class may die out, but it never c:m be reclaimed. Fatalism is after all more a disease than a Knna fide creed, and although its development, may be more complete in one climate than nnother, its root9 are to he found in all. In Turkey it is found to exist in the palace and the mountain mud-hut alike, being indorsed by the Koran; but in this country, which boasts so much of its advanced civilization, its effects are to be too clearly detected. It is not, itS a rule, believed in as a matter of faith, but men act up to its principles, nevertheless. It has been proved to a demonstration that the dkease denominated Cholera is dependent on certain states of the atmosphere produced by electricity, ronjointly with local causes arising from im- pure sewerage, exposed animal secretions, and other decayed and decaying substances. When these are found, there is the great focuslof this t errible scourge of the human race. and when it is not, its visitations are only fitful or excep- tional. Yet with this plain fact before us, we act precisely as it were an inevitable evil which n) eirort on our parts could mitigate or pre- vent. This fact is proved by the Registrar General's Returns. This matter of fact au- thority has also established several other things which it would be well if they were more widely known and acted upon. This mercileaa op- ponent- of practical fatalism, and old wive. fables" has proved, that, in relation to farm houses and country cottages, cattle perish by pleuro-pnenmonias, children by scarlatinal itc., wires by low fevers, and the farmer himself at a comparatively early age. of some acute or chronic disease, not by reason of any especial 41 visitation," but from the fact that houses are built in a too dangerous proximity to the midden pond, or to dank and pegtiferous cesspools. he states that 6426 English farmers die in a year, and of them many are young-2605 being under 65 years of age; whilst if their houst* were built at a distance from the farm yard and on elevations where there would be a natural drainage and consequently a pure at- mosphere, they would be beyond all questions I the halest people in the world. All men are doomed to die, but that is no reason why we should not take steps to prolorg our lives to the greatest possible period. Quarterly Returns of Marriages, Births, and Deaths just published by the authority of the Registrar General for the Quarter ending in September of this year is exceedingly inter- j esting as indicating the improved health of the country. By reason of the sanitory measures which have already been carried out. and the absence of any virulent epidemic, only 91,330 deaths took place in the months of July, August, and September, reducing the death- rate from 2 199 per cent, per aunum to 1.899 per cent. in the latter as compared with thi corre ponding quarter of last year :-thatis m persons died in the whole population instead of seven. The mortality secius to be in a direct ratio with the density of populatiou-a fact worthy to be noted by our sanatory reformers -for whilst the annual rate of mortality in the districts comprising the chiet towns is 2.671, that in those comprising the small towns and country districts is only 1.814. To demonstrate this important fact the Report proceeds to give details shewing that in the group of town districts the average summer mortality is at the annual rate of 26.71 in 1000 liting, whereas in the small towns and country districts it is only 18.14. Fifteen deaths in 1000 took place iu districts where the population was 9 to the 100 acres, whilst where the population was from 279 to 693 to the 100 acres, it ranged from 28 to 36! These persons may have been all specially "vi.,ited" we know but we for our own part think they would 'have had a better chance of prolonging their lives, if there bad been a little less atmospheric impurities and somewhat more ronm. I The lesson taught us by these returns should lead us to make those improvements which the state of our towns and even country villages, and our high dtata of civilization imperatively demand. Cleanliness is the mother of health, and the latter cannot bo maintained in such a dense population as that of England if the former be not strictly provided for, and estab- lished. What we want" says the Registrar General are pure air and pure water about our dwellings, and the refuse, which infects the air and makes man poison man, to be restored directly to the soil." Surely this is not an impossible task; and of this we may be sure that in proportion as it is carried out, thoso epidemical diseases which at present make such frightful ravages in all parts of the country will be to a great extent checked if not entirely removed-thuki saving thousands of lives an- ij nually. This duty man owes to society as well as to himself and family, and it is only igno- rance or selfishness which prevents it. I

THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPII AND I THE WREXHAM UOARO OF ) GUARDIANS. i 0 uu readers will remember that some tune ago that Reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of Bangor, threatened to put a foolscap on the Lead of, and to apply the birch rod to the breech of a clergyman of his diocese for the unpardon- able offence of differing from him in matter. tlppertAining to Bome local ecclesiastical reform -which was thought to benecowarj to the eiffcencr of the Church Establishment in that portion of her Majesty's dominions; and also that the eaid Bishop by reason of his intolerable arrogant* and infalliable assumptions became the laugh- iner stock of the whole kingdom from Portland BiU to John O'Groats, to the scandal of the church and the disgrace of the clerical charac- ter. It appears now that another dignitary of the Church in North Wales, Dr. Vowler bhort, Bishop of St. Asaph, is anxious to bolder up lor himself a little of this questionable notoriety, and from his debut there is every indication of his being successful. That our readers may clearly uaderstaud the case, we shall relate it as perspicuously as possible. I The Rev. Mr. Davies, of Brvmbo has re- ccntiv been preferred to a more vaJu?bIe living' which no doubt his talents and worth justly entitle him to. Mr. Davies, was RIBO eiiiiplaiu to the Wrexham Workhouse, as well a* In- ouinbent of Brymbo, an 1 in consequence of | .1" rvvi becarji- vacant- i-he Vicar of Wrexhnm, named Mr. Lewis, a curate at present officiating at Birkenhead, to the vacant incumbency; but Dr. Vowler Short, as Bishop, refused to sanction the appointment* which was therefore rendered null and void. What his reason,; were for this refusal has not yet trans- pired that we are aware of, but to say the least of it, the act was anything but respectful to our worthy Vicar, who we believe is quite as good a iu(Irre of character and the qualifications re- quired in a Minister of the Gospel as the Bishop himself. The*appointment of Chaplain to the Workhouse, however, is a somewhat more com- plicate matter, as he, in the first instance, is to be chosen, by a majority of the Guardians, sub- ject, it appears, to the approval of the Bishop first and the Poor Law Board afterwards-the latter, of course, being dependent on the form- er. This Election, as our readers are aware, took place on Thursday, the 6th inst, at the weekly meeting of the Guardians, when thei Rev. T. R. Llovd,* Incumbent of Llanfynydd, was elected by a Itirge majority, 30 voting in his favour, and 11 for the Rev. G. Edwards, Incumbent of Minera. Mr. Lloyd, was thus chosen bv more than one half of the number of Guardians for the Wrexham Union—com- posing pa it does, about 40,000 inliabitants-tlnd it onlv remained for the Bishop and the Poor Law Board to formally approve of the election for Mr. Lloyd to be installed into the office. In Sursurmce of his usual duty, the clerk forwar- ded a letter to the Bishop, apprising him of the decision of the Board and soliciting his -anction. I An answer was duly received from the U Palace" Tefnsing to do st), conched in the following pithy and laconic terms, as befitting the dignity of the exalted personage from whom it emanated Palace, St. Asaph, Nov. 8. 1856. Sir I am sorry that I cannot give my consent te the election or appointment ofthe Rev. T. R. Lloyd, as Chaplain of the Wrexham Union, which the Poor Law Board requires. I have the bononi-to be, Your humble servant, THOS. TOWT,]Ktt, ST. ASAPH, To tha Clerk of the Wrexham Union. Had Thos. Vowler, St Asaph, signed himself I your high and mighty and imperious master, he would have had the merit at least of writing the truth, startling as the revelation must have been to the individual members of the discom- fited and snubbed Board. But waving mere verbal errors, we shall now address ourselves to the main question as between the Board and the Bishop. The law gives Boards of Guardians the right, primarily, of choosing their own chap- lain, and the question is, are they to be de- frauded of that right by a Bishop who does not even condescend to inform them on what grounds he objects to their choice? If so, the sooner the fact, be advertised in the newspapers and the public be made acquainted with it I' the more satisfactory for all parties. It must be remembered that the Guardians are representatives of the whole ratepayers of the Union, and also that Mr. Lloyd, was not elected by a narrow majority, but by a very lar7e and decided one. Mr. Lloyd, is personally known to the Guardians, having sat at the Board himself as a Guardian for some time, and they are, therefore, in a position to judge of his cha- racter as a man, even better than the Bishop can possibly be. Whether ha hold High Church or Low Church principles, or whether he be heterodox or otbodox Puseyite, or Evan- gelical, the majority of them, we (laresa- y, know not; but what they do know is that he is a beneficed Clergyman of the Church of Engiand —that he iø, in fact, Incumbent of Llanfynydd, and a eure of souls of a portion of the flock which the Bishop has under especial protection, I and whose evident duty it must be to aee that wolves and hirelings do not break into the fold. I Had, indeed, the Guar.Uans strayed, aay as far I as Birkenhead, in search of a chaplain, and dis- carded the diocese of this immaculate Bishop altoe?ther, in that CMC the ground of hie re- fusal to approve their choice would by them have been understood and appreciated but as it is-as they have not wandered in queøtf of distant treasures," they have very sound rea- sons for being astonished. For, being plain and practical men, they cannot, understand contradictions, which the conduct of the Bishop certainly involves. If Mr. Lloyd be a proper person to administer religious consolation to the inhabitants of Llanfynydd, surely he must he equally in to the poor of Wrexham Workhouse and if be be not a At person to be appointed chplan to the Union, he cannot be & proper pastor to <pIritUiJise the Llanfynydll population. The Guardians relying on the discretion of the Bishop in the appoint- ment of his clerical subordinates, almost unani- mously elected a gentleman from amongst those who form his spiritual staff, and he proves the unsoundnee,3 of that reliance by wirtuallv ignor- ing him as a religious teacher. Can any con- duct, even in the vulgar laity, be more incon- sistent than this f And is it not stretching the prerogative of the hierarchy somewhat too far ? One would Buppose that the representatives of 40.000 ratepayers in their corporate capacity m;ht be deemed equal in importance to one mitred priest, but apparently it is not so. It Is well that men be occasionally taught their true position in the community, once and away.¡ just to act as social or political land marks. The Wrexham Guardians, have now been taught theirs, for Dr. Vowler Short, Bishop of St. Asaph, has virtually pronounced them— ciphers. Is this to be permitted ? and if so, why, and for how long. wb ?ibat his objections to Mr. Lloyd, are, we are not in a position to say. They may be per- sonal, political, or 'polemical, or something of them all separatively and collectively, or they may have no particular and especial foundation for their basis. Dr. Vowler Short. is known to carry it with a high hand sometimes towards curates and the inferior clergy and he has 1 ere now been somewhat roughly accused of exercising gross partiality, and even rancourous hatred towards them. It is certain that he has not been painted, in those matters in the best of colours by the Rev. Mr. Davies, of Tregynon, Montgomeryshire, some time a curate of his own, who draws a rather sombre picture of this 11 reverend father." With this, however, we have nothing to do, nor neither have the Wrex- I ham Board of Guardians. These gentlemen are naturally desirous of being informed why it is that their election is to be made nullity by the Bishop, and as he has not had the courtesy to acquaint them with his reasons, of his own ac- cord, they have very wisely appointed a com- mittee just to know the reason why." In the meantime they will appoint a religious instruc- tor to the poor. to suit themselves, and of their own choice, whilst waiting his further pleasure. If matters are not speedily and amicably accom- modated, Thos. Vowler, St. Asaph, must not be astonished if the office of Chaplain to the Wrexham Union, be voted permanently void, and Nonconformingministers be permitted to oc cupy the pulpit.

THE BRYNMALLY ACCIDENT. I VERDICT OF THE JURY. I AFTER a prolonged investigation of the causes which led to the terrible catastrophe of the 30th of September, by which thirteen poor men lost their lives in the Brynmully Colliery from a sudden influx of a large quantity of water from the old workings in an aajoining pit, the Jury, on Thursday, returned a verdict of" accidental death, thereby exonerating the proprietors, and the other servants of the company from, all blame, direct and indirect. After carefully 1 considering the whole of the evidence, it was impossible perhap fr the Jury justly to come to any other conclusion under all the circum- stances of the case. That Mr. Clayton, is morally blameless, no one who reads the whole of the evidence can for a moment disbelieve, but that he is strictly, legally so, will be with many as it Í8 with ourselves a matter of doubt. Mr. Clayton professes himself to be the principal and consequently the responsible manager of the Brynmally Colliery. The workings on the north side are unusually wet-that is on the side next to where it Is known there are work- iHgø containing large quantities of water in the Yordpit. This pit had not been worked For some 60 years, and therefore. as in those days underground plans were not much m vogue and certainly but very little to be depended upon it would seem but reasonable to exercise an unusual amount of caution in mtlk' tng the approaches where the boundary existed or sup- poswi to (E^xiifc. LNe-ithes Mr. C-Iiiytou, goT hi I tinderlookers and c'halter masters, however, 1 deemed such caution necessary. Between the two estates it was supposed (for Its existence was not proved) that there was a fault 14 yards in width, and it was also supposed that it re- mained entire, that is, it had not been broken through, and upon the strength of these two suppositions Mr. Clayton. was satisfied that there was no cause for apprehension, the ulti- mate result of thi" blind confidence being—the j death of IS individuals, and the loss of an im- I mense amount of property! It is true that plans were produced, on which was marked a D. fault said to be 14 yards throw, and intima- ting that it was whole, thee plans being the production of an old man named John Peters, a mining agent connected with the district. But, the question is, was Peters ever in a position to know the exact width and course of a fault which he never could have seen, as the work- ings had ceased before he was a youth ? flis son, at the inquest, said that he might have re ceived his information from some of the old colliers who had been working In the mine. It is true that he might, and it is also true that he might not; but be it as it may, if Mr. Clayton had made enquiries on the subject he must hava discovered that as it regards the lupposcd I) fault, Peters must have trusted a good deal, or entirely, to analogical deductions and hear- say. Was this a plan of a character to justify Mr. Clayton in not carrying out the govern- ment regulations for the proper working of the mine, and also to make him disregard the gen • j eral symptoms of water which were shown in all parts of the north workings ? It will be said, and was said in evidence at the inquest, that the government regulations were carried out, by Mr. Clayton and others. We will put the public in a position to judge this matter for themselves. The waggon road was driven so close to the fault, that it was a question whether if borings had been made some 6 or 8 yards in advance it would or would not have tapped the lodgement of water in the old workings. Mr. Holcroft. in describing the conversation which he had with Mr. Seth Roberts, on the,Saturday previous to the accident, gave his evidence as follows, in relation to this "when he told me that Ishmaal Griffiths was making more wqter in the wagon road, I said we must be getting near to the fault, and I added that as dialling day would be on the Tuesday or Wednesday I (following), we should then see where the fault was, and if we were near it we would bore at once, as I did not intend to strip the fault."— They somewhere in the neighbourhood then according to Mr llolcroft'n own state- inent, although he could not say precisely what ditan(e within a few yards. As for the fault, he seems to have had his doubts about it, (and very properly so too) for he intimated his intcn- tion not to bare it. Mr. Clayton asserts that he has carried out the government rules most atrictly-well, let us see what the 38th rule says In approaching a place likely to contain a dangerons quantity of water, or where a dan- gerous accumulation of Gas is known to exist, tilt? Underlooker or Fireman shall see that borings be kept in adance and on both sides euJKctenty t far to discover, its existence before the barrier of coal has been so weakened as to render a dangerous influx possible." These are a portion of the government rules, and will Mr. Clayton, persist in stating that they were attempted to be carried out ? The water was known to exist," and that too but a few yards a head of the workings, and yet borings were not "kept in advance—how then could it be said truthfully that the rules had been com- plied with? We believe, with Mr. Olayton, that borings would not have been effectual in this case, or that the men's lives would thereby have been saved, as the water, it seems, was above and not horizontally in advance of the level; still, this by chance good-forture cannot exonerate Mr. Clayton, from all blame, much less does it prove that the rules were strictly enforced. It would appear from Mr. Clayton's evidence, that the Brynmally pits are surround- ed on all sides by old workings of other com- panies, and that, in some instances, he does not know the exact position of them and yet no j borings at all have yet been resorted to. If this course be persisted in, other accidents are not at all impossible, despite any imaginary fault* which may be supposed to exist as suffi- cient barriers. We have stated above that we acquit Mr. Clavtoa of all moral blame, but we have shewn, we think, that to a certain extent lie was le- gally guilty of not taking precautions to bore when prudence, to aay nothing of rules, should have induced him to do so. Juries are right in making allowances for errors of conduct, based upon, and arising from, ignorance such as he seems to have laboured under; but their natu- ral indulgence and moderation cannot make that right which in itself was wrong, much less does it justify a person, so situated, in defending his fault," as he did,

WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THUXSDAT, Nov. 13th, 1856. Present-k. Joze, Esq., (Chairman,) Messrs. D. Jones, Athertoo. Kyrke, C. Wright Barton, Povier, Roberts, (Erbi«tock), Chaloner, Roberts, (Borrps- Hovah,) Hughes, Lewis, Dashwood Parry, and the Rev. J. H. M. Lnxmoore. THE CHAPLAINCY. The Clerk informed the board that he had duly re- ported the election of Mr. Lloyd by the guardians to the offic-e of Chaplain of the Union to thj Bishop of St. Asaph, and he had also received a letter from the bithop refusing to sanction the appointment. I Mr. Joze Have you got a copy of the letter which you se-at, if you have, I should like to have it read to the board. I The Clerk said he certainly had a copy of the let ter, and he would read it if the board itquirsd it, al- though it was not customary. The letter having been read, several of the v;uar- dianii observed that it was a proper oue, and that it was "all right." Mr. Joze did not consider it was all right. The clerk had said that he had written it by command" of the Poorlaw Board, which was not the case. The clerk said, it had been written in accordance with the orders" of the board, which he would soon piove. Several of the guardians exclaiming it was quite unnecessary, the clerk said he should do so, as some suspicians had been expressed, and forthwith read from the rules all order rendering it imperative on Uuion clerks to write t8 the bishop, in order to have his approval. This matter having been I hiis settlel, the clerk read the following letter in reply to the one forwarded bv kill) Palnrr, St. Asaph, NOT. 8, 1856. Sir,—I am sorry that I cannot give my consent to the election or appointment of the Rev. Thomas R Lioyd as chaplain to the Wrexham Uuion, which the Poorlaw Board requires. I have the honour to be, Your humble servant, T. Vowmt, St. Asaph. To the Clerk of ths Wrexham Uuiou." Mr Roberts (Borras Hovah): Theu I suppose the eleetioa is to go for nothing, and the guardians are to be accounted ciphers. Mr Chaloner said he rose to propose a motion on the subject, aud he must say that he felt so much indignation that he could scareely permit himself to express his feelings which such cond uet on the part of the Bishop excited—making the Board a mere cipher, as Mr Roberts had properly described it. As the Bishop had assigned no rea- sons whatever for his refusal, he should move— That in consequence of the refusal ot the Bishop of St Asaph to confirm the appointment of the liev T. Llovd, as chaplain, a committee be appoint. ed, to consist of the undermentioned guardians, for the purpose of taking such stepu as may be ne- ce".iry for providing religious consolat ion and in- sfruction for the inmates of the workhouse, and that they be empowered to investigate the matter by f-ommnnicatiug with the Bishol) -Nlestra Whaley, Juze, Manley, Brough, Wright, Pickering, Poyser, and Chaloner." I Mr Hughes seconded the motion. Mr E. Lewis moved as an amendment that a com- I mittee be formed to consist of an squal number of the friends of the two candidates, as those named were I all on one side. Mr Kyrkc said he wished to move that the motion be rejected altogether, as he did not see the necessity of it. and even questioned its legality. I The Jerk observed that b. certainly saw nothing I illegal in the motion. Mr Chaloner intimated that if they rejected his motion, he should at a future board move that the Union do without a chaplain altogether. Ultimately Mr Chaloncr's motion was aarried by a majority of 1-7 voting for it, and 8 against, The committer was therefore appoiuted. I MAITCHWLIX, PARISH.

STXAT.IXG A WATCH.—Thomas Povah and hie wife, of the Beast-market, Wrexham, were brought up charged with stealing a t^old watch and chaiu, from the person of fr. Evan Morris, a simmer, in this town. The prosecutor was going down Charles Street, en Friday lait, about half-past seven o'clock at night, when the female prisoner was seen I)y a girl named Berkeley to go up to him, and whilst doing so she (prisoner) bad hold of him by the collar. The girl Berkeley shouted to Mr. Morris and said that she woald tell Jane, mcnniiig a niece of his. Mr. Morris then got away from the female prisoner and went a few yards lower down the street, when the prisoner again went up to him and pushed him against the wall and slipped something over his head, bnt np on ileeing the girl Berkeley watching her prisoner threatened to knock herd sad if she did not go away. Prisoner then walked fast away in the direction of her home. Mr. Morris it wnnid appear then went home, and upon the watch being missed by his friends, it was proclaimed that night by the town crier, and a reward of f2 offered to any perssn finding and bring- ing the same to Mr. Heywood, watchmaker. A lad named Eddowee, whea going down the lane below the Cock public-house the neit morning saw something hansfinj down the hedge bank, aid fonud it to contain a gold watch. Thf lad took it homo to his mother, who took it to Mr. Heywood, who identified the watch. Prisoner denied placing it ia the hedge, and said some one elaa must have done it, for she put it under a gtons under her own kitchen window. The uitile prisoner was discharged, but his wife was committed to take her trial at the next -sessions. She was admitted to bail. STEALING FLOCX AT BBXSIIAM.—William Coles, | »f Bersham appeared upon remand at the Wrexham Petty Sessions, on Monday lr.st. The case was heard in the Magistrate's Private Room, for reasons best known to themselves. Prisoner was. in the employ of Mr. Greville, in the paper mills at Bersham, where thrv arc in the habit of manu- facturing flock. On the 2Sih of October, 1853, a bag of flock was missed from th" drying room of the mill, where seven boys had been placed the day before. The prisoner was working in the mill, slone that night and the next day. Henry Wingett, the manager of the mill, asked him if e knew anything of the missingfiook; he denied all knowledge of it. About fortnight ago, during a conservation between WinJett and Henry Dufter, another workman in the mill, the latter said he had brought some flock from the prisoner, and produced his bill for the same. Wingett then went. to Duftei's house and there found about 501bs of flock, which he identified as flock from the will, the property of Mr. Greville. A search warrant was then obtained, i and Win;ett accompanied by polics constable Thom- as went to prisoner's he use, allll upoa search two flock beds were found ia the bed-roo n. Upon being opened the flock in one of the bcda was at once identi- f G "j P. fi d as the property of illr. Greville. Prisoner then said he brought them from a man in Devonshire whom he could produce; but afterwards said h. coukl not as he iyas dead. Wingett fcaew the flock from its having a peculiar colour and mike. At the time prisoner sold Dafter the flock, he said that he i had bought them from Wingett, but this Wingstt denies. Mr. Wyatt anpssred on behalf of the pro- secution and Air. 13tiokton appeared for the prisonr, who, as far as we can learn, produced witueases ts prove that Wingett had promised to give prisoner some flock plirt payment for over work done by Coles, which was a fcencral rule, and that flock was taken from the mill by Mrs. Baker, a workwoman in the mill to the prisoner's house, which was sold to Dufter, and that the flock found in the bed was brought bv the prisoner- from Devonshire, when h, came to live to Bsrsham. Th 1 8anoh thought it a case that ought to be decided by a jury, and com- mitted the prisoner to the lkession4 for trial. He was admitted to bilil, himself E40 and two sureties in 220 each.

Ruthin. BOROUGH.— Ou the 10th inst., Joseph Peers, Esq., was unauimously elected mayor for the ensuing year. This being liii sixth election for this borough. Coun- i eiller Thos. C.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE INDUPUNNEIFT CHAPEL. -Tbtl subscriptions for building a new independent chapel at Ruabon arc progressing most favourably, upwards of f,500 having beeu already subscribed.

Wynn not only purchased the old ch :pel for £ 140, but also, with his uccustom- ed liberality has given a must eligible lite near to the railway station for the proposed neW building. On the 20th ultimo tl6 were obtained as the proceeds of the choral meetiag which was held for that purpose. Rhosymedre- A missionary meeting coanected with the Primitive Methodists took place in their chapel at Rhosyaiedre, ou Tuesday evening last. Mr. W. Puleston most ably presided in the place of G. H. Whalley, Esq., who had promised to attend, but who was unavoidably absent. The meeting was well attended, and several interesting and eloquent addresses were delivered by the friends of foreign missions. The Primit've Methodists are rapidly increaiiog in numbers in this d:atrict, and pro,iiise to become a useful and flourish- ing body of christian dissenters. Space forbids ns I giving the addresses in detail. I Oswestry. I WESLEYAN MISSIONS. On Sunday last two excellent sermons were preach- ed bv the Rev S. Hooley, ot Wrexham, in the Wes- leyau chapel, Oswestrv. on behalf of the Wesleyan 1issioury Society, and the foi)om)n?event!'cspub* lie meeting was held for the same object. After sing- ing and prayer, Mr T. C. Jones, of Wrexham, was called to the chair. After a few remarks, he called upon- The Rev Ishmael Jones, of the same place, who read extracts from the report of the parent society, from which it appeared that the income of the society. for the past year, was, notwithstanding the drain up- on the nation for the late war, an improvement upon any preceding year, of J6873 10s rid, aud amounted to no less a sum than 9119,122 is 9-1. Towards this arviouikt the Oswestry district contributed 912 14s 8d, and the Wrexham L13 Is 7d, making a total of 125 6s 3d It was also stated that the society had 425 circuits; 5,321 chapels and other preaching places; 588 ministers and assistant missionaries 900 cate- chists, day-school teachers, &c 9,639 unpaid agents, as Sabbath-school teachers, &e. 113,895 members in church fellowship 5,871 on trial for membership 92,349 scholars attending day and Sabbath-schools; and 8 printing tstabliihuients. The Rev D. Crumpton then addressed the meeting, and inoed the following resolution the sue- cess which God has graciously given to the efforts of Christian missionaries, should eicits our gratitude and euconrage us to increased exaitions in the great work of evangelising the world. After givins a hearty welcome to the ministers recently come into I the circuit, he expressed the great pleasure he felt in moving the resetution, as it so properly and truth- fully recognised the success atterdant upon missions i —the hand of God in that jincoes&and the inCaence I it should produce. He approved it also because of its catholic and nasectarian character; it said Chris* tian missions. not Wesleyan missions, and it was pleasing to remark how the Divine blessing had been given to the mission effort. of all sections Jof the Christian church. He then very forcibly urged to increased efforts in the work, as much, very much, had yet to be done; aad observed that the certainty of success was insured by Divine promise. The Rev Ishmasl Jones seconded the resolution' He observed that after the very able speech they hap- beard, it was unnecessary for him to say much. He felt satisfied that they were fully prepared to support the mission. It was no uncertain work iu which they were engaged, and though there were many dif- ficulties the issue could be anticipated. The church of Christ was the hope of the wo* Id. In vain would it look to any but Christians, and to them had their Divine matter committed the great work. Lstthera therefore be active and faithful, and God would give the blessing- The Rev H. Smith said he folt. great pleasure in being present on the occasion, as he considered the cause of misiious had a teudeucy to do away with a sectarian spirit, and to promote union among Chris- tians. He concluded his affectionate address by mov- ing thu following resolution That the present state of the world, the wide extent uf heathen wretch- edness, with the multiplied facilities providentially afforded us of conveying the Goapel to destitute na- tions, render it eminently desirable that the Wesley- au Missionary Society shou'd be furnished with the means of sustaining and extending its benevolent work." The Rev S. Hooley seconded the resolution, but said that as he felt anxious to afford the greatest pos- sible time to the next speaker, he shouid at once sit down. The Rev J. Jones, of Birkenhead, then rose to sup- port the resolution, which he did in a speech of very great power. He took a glance at the efforts and success of missions in distant lands, and noted the great good which had already been effected; hut ob- erved that as there was but about, one missionary to every million heathen, the necessity for increased ex- ertion and liberality was self evident. He concluded a very able speech by forcibly appealing to the audi- ence for liberal contributions His appeal was not in vain ;-the united contribu- tions exceeding those of last year by 10s, amounting i the whole to C8 5s. After the singing of the doxology, the Rev. S. Hoo- ley concluded the meeting with prayer. The atten dauce was numerous and respectable. NEWSROOM FOR WORKING MEN.—WS are glad to find that at last a step has been taken in the right direction, in reference to the working men of Oswee- try. No town can neglect its working men with im- punity. Sooner or later retribution will come. If no measures be taken for their improvement and e levation, their elevation and improvement cannot be expected; and though we are far from thiuking that individually they have no means of improvement, yet believing that collretirely they have greater, we I are pleased to report that a public meeting WQ!I held ¡ last Monday evening in the Guildhall, Oswestry, which resulted in the opening of a newsroom for the I working men of that town, and we sincerely hape that the laudable efforts of those who took part in the proceedings will be duly appreciated and supported by the persons it is designed to benefit. The hearty co- operation of the working men should be immediately given. Let tkem not wait to sfo how the thing will work, but let them come ferward and work it. The benefit will be their own. The resolutions adopted are evidently designed to place the entire concern under the supervision and controul of the working class, and at once to prevent tha injurious, though often well-meant interference, of other c'asses. This is as it should be; and we trust the working men of Oswestry will ehow that they have the will, as they now certainly have the means, for improvement. When it is considered that for the low charge of la per month, the members of the society will be at li- berty to call the very best from 10, 12, or more, of well-selected journals, and several able periodicals,- and in addition will have the free and fnll use cf an extensive and excellent library, it is only reasonable to suppois that the opportunity will be gladly em- braced, and the room thronged with laer attendants If it it not so, the workiug men of Oswestry will have themselves alone to blame, as tha resolutions adopted at tke meeting will show. VAta OF CLWfD RAILWAY.—It affrda us much pleasure to be able to announce that the pros pects of this company are daily becoming bright- er, and there is now no doubt that the works will be very shortly commenced. We are informed that shares to a considerable amount have been sub. scribed for during the past weel, -slnd that the di- rectors are making arrangements for commencing the works early next spring. The line will not nnly be of the utmost benefit te the agricultural and commercial interests of the important district through which it will pass, but it is confidently as- serted that it will prove a profitable investment to the shareholders.

-'r -r. "W'T.r. THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AND LADY FRANKLIN. —The name of Lady Franklin (says the Post) often appears in connectian with the noble and energetit- attempts she ma le for the rescue of her husband. Not the least interestiusi document in relation to thes-1 exertions of Lady Franklin is a letter which the Em- press Eugenie shortly after her marriage addressed to her, and which is now published for the first time. Indeed, we believe this is the first private ietter of the Empress that has ever seen the light. The fol- lowing is a passage which M. de la Roquette has heen permitted to quote :—" It is. above all, as a woman and a wife, that I should with pleasure see France associated with England in those generous expeditions, the first object of which is to rtscue a man whose pri- vate virtues are surely equal to his talent and his courage, since he has inspired in you such an admi. rable devotion. Ultimately I hope that Heaven will grant you the success that your conjugal affection merits; and then, madam, there will be a person who will most sincerely participate in the joy of the wife of Captain Franklin-the wife of th Emperor Na- poleon." The amiable and womanly simplicity of these words will prove very acceptable to all who admire the goodness of the Empress, and wbo cherish the memory of Franklin. That, indeed, will sver be engraven in tho hearts of his countrymen as long as naval daring, scientific enterprise, and love of dutv are the honoured virtues of the British sailor. v

I aL. -I- I There is a deep interest ln wwmag 1;[1" -asi-Ly struggles of a cause, struggling with difficulties, and triumphant in other lands yet destined to be successful in our own, that of universal and na- tioaal education. For ten years past that causo has been slowly making its way in England. Neglected by apathy, thwarted by bigotry, and battling with prejudice in the name of religious liberty it has progressed nevertheless at a slow but oure pace. The second report ef the Model Sscular School in Manchester, founded by lay- men moved by a noble pity, and by religious minis- ters of many creeds, is under these circuncstances a document of peculiar interest and appeals to the sympathies of every true lover of his country and every christian man. We venture under these cir- cumstances to lay some portions of the document before our readers, with th'j view of encouraging the labours of those lovers of thir fellow at!a who see the educational fields of North Wales even now white to the harvest, and who are not lung sup- plying the resources which are to send forth tho reapers. If it is a common thing te ask, whin speaking of a man in a land of many seots, what church does he go to ?" it may be considered as fair a ques tion to ask of any social or educational plan, what company does it keep? A school without a bible ? what coaipany does it kcai); Only that of f.) ur ministers, one being an episcopalian and another an inlopanlsn1", eminent for his love of religious aud civil liberty. A school in which the teachers are forbidden to read or expound the scriptures, what sort of pupils does it hold ? It has, good reader, about 300 pupils, and 250 out of these, or 8-16 per cent attend regularly the following Sunday schools, not to toil painfully over the Bible there, scarcely able to read tho sli)rte.t words, but to be I taught in real esraest the creed of their fathers. Church of England Sunday School 90 Society of Friends 43 Roman Catholic 30 Swedenhorgian 23 Scottish Presbyterian 27 Unitarian 66 14 Independent 14 Baptist Calviniat 3 250 The school is freo. its wine, milk, and honey are without money and without price." Its teachers are a head mi*t;r, Mr. Templar, trained to his Weric in the Borough Road, aud fmr teachers with monitors. Agiinwe hear ths dl and hack- neyed cry that what is not paid for is net valued -Tiowever good, a fallacy which the report of the Model Secular School boldly disposes of by the fact that ita regular constant ittendance is 95.1 per cent of its no-,Linal list of pupils. The applic-ilions for admittance in its walls are numerous, so numerous that the most careful selection has to be made of th*se hungering and thirsting after knowledge, to ascertain that they are to their being so pressed down by the iron arm of poverty, as to be unable to pay even school pence. Alas, there are many sue]& i Circumstances have brought them down, and there their innocent children niust li:for they are doomed to intellectual starvation, and poverty follows that, as harvest fallows seed time. The school is physically and morally' a shining light in a dark place. In the very centre of the smoke-hun>» city, arnong the dwellings of poverty and crime, rise its walls. Its interior is well warm- ed, ventilated, and furnished with the best appli- ances for instruction. It aims at no high flights of learning little beyond reading, writing, and arith- metic. But the reading is varied, interesting, and extensive and comprises geography, history, and general knowledge. If no religious creed is taught, the laws of kindness, charity, and brotherly love, are inculcated, and those laws the observance of which their Maker has made the conditions of a happy physical and moral life, are taught in every jot and tittle. The pupils go back to their crowd- ed homes with the les on that dirt is the cause of disease, and foul air a poison; that the world is beautiful, though ignorant man has marred ita beauty. Hear the evidence recently given on these points by the Rev Dr. M'Kerrow: — March 3rd, 1856. Every visit which I have made to the Model Se. cular Free School haa deepened my conviction of the excellence of the principles on which it is based, the efficiency of its teachers and assistants, and the importance of the work which it is carrying on in the loeality in which it is situated It must bit pleasing to every benevolent mind to see more than 300 poor children, the great majority of whom, if not left entirely under the influence of ignorance and vice, would in all probability have been most imperfectly educated, receiving not only secular instruction of a very varied and important kind, but also tho3e moral lessons which may be termed the practical part of religion. The progress of the scholars in useful knowledge, order, obedience, re gularity, and courtesy to one another, has appeared to me to be very marked while their interest in the things which they are taught, and the appreci- ation which their parents evince of the benefits con. ferred on their children, are strikingly displayed by the unusual largeness of attendance which the schord uniformly receives. It has been said that gratuitous education is not valued by the poor, and that if dectrinal religion be not furnished in day- schools, it will not be obtained any where else. But the former assertion is contradicted by the eager- ness with which admission to the Secular School is sought; and the latter, by the fact that its scholars, with but few exceptions, attend some Sunday school also. It has been very gratifying to me, moreover, to see how satisfactorily the children of persons belonging to almost every variety of reli- gious sect can be educated together no offence to conscience or prejudice being given and none ta- ken while teaching and training of the moet va- luable nature are shared by all without the least denominational or invidious distinction. The religious difficulty which has hitherto hin- dered the introduction "f a system of national edu- cation has been practically solved by the Modpl Secular Free School, and happy would it be for the country if bigotry would open its eye,; and see how all sects may unite in educating the children of the needy, and how little reason there is to fear that Scriptural truth will be neglected because creeds and forms of worship are not blended with the teaching of common things. It would not be easy to collect a number of chil- dren whose parents might be more deserving of en. couragement and less able to pay for the education of their families and of this I am sure, that as an ex- periment of benevolence in helping the struggles of I poverty, and in showing how this can be done with out sectarian distrust or disagree iieiit, the school has L I been emment l y successful. Deeply interested as I am in this ?penment, and having canre hn<h ill the soundness of the principles on which it h? b< c? eon- I ducted, I hope the friends of education will contiuue to carry it on as a blessiug to the poor and an exam- ple to the country, (Signed) W. Mc. KEKROW, D.D. JOINT TESTIMONIAL. We, the undersigned, having visited the Model Se- cular School, sit uated iu Jackson's Row, Deansgate, Manchester, having learnt, by personal inspection the character of the instruction and training commu- nicated to the children attending the same, and hav- ing ascertained the circumstances p-euerally of the ia- unites to which the children belong, have much plea- sure in bearing testimony to the important and valu- able character of the institution. The building used for the school is commodious aud admirably adapted for the purpose to which it is applied. The part of the city in which it is situated is densely populated, and is inhabited chiefly by per- sons who are very poor. Tke children collected in the school are of that class which, by poverty and other causes, is debarred from the inestimable advan- tages of efficient and systematic day-school instrtic- tion and training. This school supports the opinion which some en. ?rtam, that children of large towns possess uaturf? Bcute mental aHd moral prceptjon8. It is a deplora- ble fact that these susceptibilities are often perverted by advene circumlitances, to the unhappiuess andT gradation of the childre? themisives. and to the de- triment of society at IRrge. About hundred and sixty boys are receiving instruetion in the scbool. which i9 cOlldl1ted bv a head master, well qaalified for bis dllties, assisted by four efficient paid teachers, and nveril -monitorg.  parents of the children belon to various re Iigious denominations; but the instruction aud train- ing given in 5 i1™1- r far as our observation en- ligiorn dSSiw. °nly w^at l'er9ooa of all r«- ligious denominations may conscientiously approve, to the exCIUSIOTl Of everythlD of a sectarIan cha- racter, which they m'ght mPec^«df y sectanan eha- JectIonable. ? °"  ? ?'P?hv.Iy regard a. ob- ality aud ^e^ulaHtyf the &S regards Punctu" ahty and regnlarIty, appears to be mo:;t antisfactory :zjd, their cleanliness, orderly deineanour, and atten- ion whle in 8co.ol, cannot fail to make a Lnd ""ir 'mpreMion on ",ntorl. f&vour.b l e The course of instruction innrra^nf e^ ~nf,\<,i er ?f# great practical importance as it does, in addition to the ordinary benchZesTl f J£ l"'? £ TV* cation, the exhibition ? the uses  ''°° matter,-of the omenic la\vs   ?, fT- plea which create, preserve, and affect health and wealth, and which vitally influence individual and so. cial well-being. Such instruction, in conjunction with the habitual moral training to whieh the chil- dren are subjected, cannot fail, we believe, to prove of great value to them iu after life, for their guidance in the discharge of their individual and relative du. ties. Such instruction must also be a great beaefil to the general community, inasmuch as careers of stolid incapability, or vice, may be averted, and inas- much as every well-instructed and well-traiued hu. man being may be expected to act as a centre from which beneficial influei-ce will radiate. The methods of instruction pursued and the disci- pline observed in the school excite our admiration. The best evidence of the excellency of the methods is given in the degree and character of the knowledga which is being Tapidly and thoroughly assimilated by the children. The orderly and attentive conduct of the children. conclusively proves that a good system of discipline is practised, and that the children, though not of the most hopeful class, are docile and amenable to d:scipline. We unhesitatingly and earnestlv commend this school to the favourable regard and support of all friends to the improvement of the condition of the poor, and of education generally, on the grounds, on the one hand, that it affords the means of meetiog the urgent claims of a neglected class of children and, on the other, as furnishing a practical solution of the great problem of National Education on a wide and comprehensive basis.

We deep- ly regret it, as there is most touching evidence given in the report of the incalculable good doing among the poor scholars by the school, and of the spirit it quickens and develops. In the grateful letters of the parents, with all their blunders in spelling and grammar, we hear the cry of the chil- dren—the cry of intellectual hunger which risea to the stars, but which men do not bear.-One writes- Sir,-I ham very sorey to inform who have been so shout worke that I could not buy him a pair of shoes on Saturday night I expect to be able to get him a pair egainst to morrow you must please to excuse me on that account I am veray 8omy that I have to keep him at home on that count.

A parent of a higher intellectual grade, but struggling with poverty, writes-- Sir.—I am sorry that the necessities of my fa- mily render it necessary for me to keep my son at home for the future, and I thank you for what in- struction he has received." Time and space will not allow us to give further notice of the report, which we earnestly recommend to the perasal of our readers. A nobler deed of charity could never be done than that of contribut- ing to the support of such a school, and showing to the world that a secular plan of education, ig- noring all creeds, i. not only iiuccess-ful in the com- munication of general knowledge, but leada direct- ly to religious knowledge, and is the only one that can be permanently adopted in a free Protestant country. Let all good men give it their counten- ance and help.
