Jones stated that on the 20th Fenruary he found the de- fendant drunk in the Crtuid Sta?d Inn, Buckley. The landlord of the house had been lined at th? last Hawarden Sessions.—A nne of 5s and costs was im- posed. Assaillt.-PLol)ert Hughes, collier, Altami, was charged with .assaulting Joseph Davison, on the 17th April.—Complainant said he was standing watching two men fighting on the afternoon of that date and when one of them fell lie went to pick him up but was struck by the defendant.—The offence was not denied and the Magistrates fined Hughes os and costs. Out on Election Dan..—Horatio Jones, living with his f;1th2r at Hawarden, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly on the 14th inst.—Sergeant Lock wood preferred the charge.—Defendant said it was Lection day but he had had but one pint.—Fined "is and costs u:Jon which he said to the clerk put the tine down to my father's account.

Edward Davies, stated that on the 13th of March, about a quarter-past ten o'clock, he saw three men go to the defendant's house, and on following them he found they had been served with drink, one with whiskey and another with gin. He asked the landlady how it had occureJ and s he begged that lie would not report her.—Miss Gregory denied that it had turned ten o'clock, and called James Broadhead who said he had treated the two ferrymen, but when he went to the defendant's house it had not turned ten o'clock.—The Magistrates lined her os and costs. CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE. MISSING FROM HmIE. III allother column will be found an advertisement announcing that Mr John Jones, of the Postoffice, has been missing from his home since the loth inst. Mr Jones had been in low spirits for some time past, indeed ever since the sud- den (lettli of Mr Brown of Trevor, which took place at Trevor Station, and imme(liately after they had been conversing on business matters together. His family still cling to the hope that lie is alive, and will be recovered. DENBIGH. EARLY CLOSING.—The drapers of the town have all but unanimously agreed to the request of their em- ployes for a half-holiday during the summer months. This will be a great boon, and we hope the young people will use it well. HIGH VISITOR.—The G.W.O. Templar of the Welsh Grand Lodge is announced to visit Denbigh next week when. no doubt, he will be well received on account of his own personal worth, no less than for his ofhcial position. THE SEWAGE.—The contractor has this week begun in Chapel-street at the end next to Vale-street-. I n- fortunately the first day an explosion of dynamite in the rock threw up a piece which went through a pane of Mr Gee's plateglass dining-room window. It was at once made good and special precautions taken against further accident of that kind. The work has now passed the narrowest part of the street at the entrance. BitooKHor.sE RAILWAY BRIDGE.—In the floods of Sunday, August 17th last year, among other destruc- tive work done the bridge over the strau broosc near Brookhoiise was entirely swept away it was only of one arch and those who knew it best were least sur- prised at its destruction. Although somewhat long delayed, probably on account of other pressing works, a new bridge has at length been completed. It is a tine structure of three spans, the centre one stretching i over the actual brook, at ordinary times, but to pro- vide against floods two side spans are made which for the most part will be quite dry, and indeed grass is growing in them the piers are massive and rise in miniature towers above the level of the rails, so that the general appearance of the structure while offering to the eye the appearance of great strength is not of that dead level character which generally characterises railway bridges. The bed of the brook is paved with slabs underneath the bridge, and altogether a very satisfactory piece of work has been done. SALE OF FKEEIIOLD PROPERTY. On Thursday, Messrs. Davies and Armor sold at the Royal Oak two distinct properties situated in main streets of the town. The first was two large houses and gardens, with two cottages in the rear, situated in the middle of Vale-street, the main street leading from the Rail- way Station to the Town Hall, markets, &c., the property of the trustees of the late Mrs Vaughan Horne, whose death we reported a short time ago; this property was divided into three lots, of which the first was the free- hold dwelling-house, containing drawing-room, dining- room, breakfast-room, two kitchens, four bed-rooms, one dressing-room, w.e., and a small garden, with a back entrance to Peake's-street, lately occupied bv Mrs Home. This started at £ 500 and went up to £ 900, at which it was knocked down to Mr Joseph Roberts, Bull-lane, Denbigh. Lot 2 was the freehold dwelling-house, adjoining lot 1, containing drawing- room, dining-room, breakfast-room, bath-room, two kitchens, three bed-rooms, w.c., and a back entrance to Peake's-street, now occupied by R. H. Roberts, Esq., solicitor. This beginning at RGOO was sold to Mr Thomas Foulkes, of Kilford, for;CSOO. Lot 3 was four substantially built cottages in Park-street, at the rear of the above lots, these beginning at k200 went up by easy stages to £ 400, to Mr R. Lloyd Williams, county surveyor. Messrs. Parry Jones and Son were the vendor's solicitors. Mr Armor next offered a freehold property of an en- tirely different description. The "Leopard," an old- established country inn, situated at the extreme end of High-street, towards Henllan, with large back pre- mises, outbuildings, stables, workshops, &c., occupy- ing 764 square yards, and having a back outlet to Rosemary-lane. The bidding for this lot was of the most spirited character. It began at £;150 and by 22 steps of.220 and upwards reached the sum of £1400, Mr Thomas Andrews, of the Star Vaults, nearly opposite, being the purchaser. The price realised astonished nearly everybody in the crowded room. Mr R. Humphreys Roberts was the vendor's solicitor. The company present included, besides those already named, the leading solicitors and surveyors in the town, together with a considerable number of publi- cans and other inhabitants. HOLYWELL. MoSTYX IRON WORKS.—These extensive works are now in working order, and vessels from all parts are rapidly coming in to Mostyn laden with iron ore. The works are jointly under the management of Mr Lancaster and Mr Storey, and much activity prevails, It is cheering thus to allude to the commercial prospects of our neighbourhood, and it is to be hoped that the gentlemen we have named wiil be amply repaid for the enterprise they have displayed. THE HALKYX DRAINAGE.—The works of the Halkyn Drainage Company are been pushed on with vigour, and the shares are being eagerly sought for. In a short time it is confidently expected that many valu- able lode of leall ore will be worked, which have hitherto been inaccessible in eon-equence of being flooded. The Duke of Westminster, Mr J. ScottBankes and other landed proprietors take a lively interest in the operations of the company, and the future of Halkyn mining is now looking most en- couraging.

THE C A L V IXISTlC M E T II O D I S T QUARTERLY ASSOCIATION. The quarterly meeting of the Calvinistic Methodist Association, more generally known throughout the Principality as Sassiwyn y Bala," has been held in Holywell this week. Five years have elapsed since a similar gathering wzLQ: held before in this town, the meetings have been held periodically in various dis- tricts of the iiortlievii portion of Wales, The first meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, when the General Committee of the Association assembled, the accredited delegates bting: nlespy, Revs. James Dunne, Llangefni, John Pritchard, Amlwch, Richard Williams, Gosen, and William Pritchard, Pentraeth Lleyn and Lmonydd, Revs. Thomas Owen, Pormadoc and David Roberts, Llangian Arfon, iRevs. Robert Ellis, Yscoldy, Daniel Rowlands, M.A., Bangor, and W.

Besides the delegates named, there was a large number of ministers and deacons present, including the leading members of the connection in I North Wales. We noticed the Revs. John Pugh, B.A., and Evan Lloyd, Holywell; M. Jones, Flmt; W. Pierce, Rhosesmor J. P.

Excellent arrangements had been made for the re- ception of the large number of persons who visited the town, and a spirit of generous hospitality was shown by all denominations. Refreshments were I provided the strangers In liehoboth schoolroom Committee meetings were held at Rchoboth and Chapel-street Chapels. At Tuesdays meeting, the messages recei_ ved from the several monthly meetings ? ore considered, a second meeting of the stme co M- I' l' 1 ;'1 'I" ")1', t. of nlltt[':? }1n;j l.L J. l'\JC l. t:. r. 1r:c JUlY 0 J' L: ;¡':¡:¡L',il ;L J." c; I separate meetings of the Ministers' and Deacons' Committees were held, and in the afternoon the 1 General Assembly took place in Rehohoth Chapel, I when there was a very large attendance of ministers anil representatives. Owing to the absence of the 1 retiring moderator, the chair was temporarily occupied by the Rev. Emrys Evans, Cotton Hall, by whom it was afterwards resigned in favour of the Rev. James Donne, the moderator for the coining year, who de- livered a very stirring address on taking his seat. 1011 the last occasion when the Association was held at Holywell, the event was marked by the presenta- tion of a handsome album to the Rev. Roger Edwirds, who had filled the onerous post of secretary of the Association for the long period of thirty-five years. The present Holywell assembly is marked in no less a manner, for occasion was taken of the opportunity to present Mrs Evans, The Strand, of this town with a magnificent address in folio album form, in recognition of the valuable services of her la.te husband as secretary of the Deacon's Committee for a long series of years. It will, doubtless, be re- membered that when the late Mr P. M. Evans resigned the official position with the Association which he had so long held and honorably discharged, it was immediately decided to present him with an address in acknowledgement of his valued services. Before, however, the resolve could be carried into execution a sa(l and untoward event brought Mr Evans' useful career to a close, and caused a pang of painful regret to be felt throughout the whole connexion, with which he was "0 intimately associated. The original inten- tion of the Association was therefore frustrated by the sad (incurrence, but nevertheless the members deter- mined to place on record and show for years to come their appreciation of the unstinted labours of the late j Mr Evans. The address presented on Wednesday afternoon to Mrs Evans was prepared with that inten- tion. As a work of art it is a most chaste and beauti- ful treasure, unique in design and execution. It occupies two pages of vellum, bordered with rich illumination, the initial characters being worked in lovely designs and colors corresponding with the character of the ornamentation and the text of the I address, which is engrossed in German text. It is bound in morocco, richly tooled and highly burnished, and on the cover the following inscription appears;- Anerchiad cyflwvnedig i Mrs Evans, Gwedthv y jdiweddar Mr Peter Maelor Evans, TrefIyn- non." The address was the work of the late IV.Li Baker, illuminating artist, Chester, and was the last specimen of his cunning art which lie executed before his premature demise on Good Friday, The adth ess j which was in Welsh, was read by the Rev. Dr. Uutrlics. The presentation was made to Mr P. Mwyndeg Evans (representing his mother) by Mr R. Rowlands, Festiniog, who succeeded the late Mr Evans as secre- tary of the Deacons' Committee, and addresses were also delivered by several ministers, who bore testi- mony to Mr Evans'zeal and public and private worth. The handsome gift was acknowledged in well-chosen terms by Mr P. Mwyndeg Evans. The remainder of the meeting was occupied in deal- ing with business connected with the Association in recei ving and discussing the reports from the several committees receiving a report as to the state of the connexion in Flintshire, and in making touching re- ferences to the members of the Association who have been removed by death. The public services were well attended through- out the cynianfa. On Tuesday evening, the meet- ing was commenced by the Rev. David Roberts, Llangian, and the preachers were the Revs. William -Toiies, Portdinorwic, and Jno. Hughes, D.D., j Liverpool On Wednesday evening the service 1 was commenced by the Rev. David Hughes, Llan- fecliain, and sermons were delivered by the Revs. Robert Ellis, Ysgoldy, and Owen Thomas, D.D., Liverpool. The same evening, English services I were preached in the Congregational Church by the Revs. Evan Williams, Runcorn, and John Meredith, Rossett. Thursday was wholly devoted to preaching, and the weather being propitious many hundreds of persons attended from various parts of the country. The first service was at six o'clock in the morning, which was commenced by the Rev. T. Williams, Dolgelly, and the preachers were the Revs. Edward Griffiths, Meifod and S. Olven, Tanygrisiau. At half-past eight a church meeting was held, the subject for consideration being the "Reading of the Scriptures." The public services were resumed at ten o'clock by the Rev. Peter Jones, of Birkenhead, and sermons were delivered by the Revs. Joseph Thomas, Carno, and Lewis Edwards, D.D., Bala. At the afternoon services the preachers were the Revs. James Donne (chairman of the Association), and R. Lumley, Egremont; and at six o'clock in the evening the Revs. Thomas Owen, Portmadoc (secretary of the Association), and John Hughes, D.D. Liverpool. In the evening services were also held in the Wesleyan chapel, where the preachers were the Revs. Griffith Ellis, M. A. Bootle, and Thomas Gray, Manchester. RUABON. ACCIDENT HOSPITAL.—The Secretary acknowledges with thanks the receipt of the following collections, viz. :-U nderground workmen at Plaskynaston Col- liery, 915 Independent Chapel. Cefn, 14s. INAUGURATION OF A FORESTERS CLUB.—A new Court in connection with the Ancient Order of Foresters was opened at the Bridge End Inn, on 8atunlay evening week. The ceremony was conducted by the following officers of the Wrexham district Mr John Woolrich, Court No. 4.495, District Chief Ranger, who presided Mr Owen Price (4,495), P.D.C.R., Brvnmally Colliery; Mr Bradshaw, (4,495) D.T. Mr A. J. Barrett (6,125) P.C.R., Ruabon Coal Company; Mr D. Mattheson (6,125) P.D.C.R.; Mr James Eahorn (6,125), D.S.; and Mr W. J. Sidders (1,638), P.C.R., Wrexham.

Saint, surveyor and draughtsman of Vaux- hall Colliery, Chief Ranger Mr Watkin Rogers. S.C.R. Mr Lewis Owen, S.W.; Mr John Gibbons, J.W.; Mr P. Phillips, S.B.; and Mr John Deedes, Secretary. Messrs. George Wilson and John Phillips were elected trustees, and Mr Charles B. Davies secretary. It was arranged that a code of rules, &c., should be framed. A few of the official statistics of I, the Society having been read the proceedings termi- nated. 2ND D.R.V. CHURCH PARADE.—The corps mus- ¡ tered at James' Fttrn-t, Wyzin-stay Park, at 10.15 ao m. on Sunday morning, for the purpose of attending divine service at the parish church. The corps marched through the chief park gate, up Park-street, and into the church by the main entrance, commanded by Captain Lawton Roberts and Lieut. Hughes. The officers wore their crossbelts and swords, the sergeants their crossbelts, the corporals and privates wore waist- belts, and all members of the corps wore their side- arms. A large crowd assembled in Park-street to witness the "turn-out." The Vicar, the Rev. E. W. Edwards, preached a very appropriate sermon from Samuel, iv. c., and part of 9th verse, Be strong and quit yourselves like men." The church was crowded, j and the sermon was most impressive. The following special hymns were sung, No. 269, Christians, seek not yet repose 270, Soldiers of Christ arise 391, Onward Christian soldiers." The National An- themwas played by the organist. Mr Baillie, late of Chester Cathedral, as the Congregation left the church. On leaving the church the corps marched out by the side door into Church-street, and formed line in front of the Cross Foxes Inn, where they were inspected by Lieut.-CoI. Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., L P. and Col. Mostyn. They then returned through Bridge-street to .Tames' Farm. The corps for the nrst time ap- peared in their new uniform, an!l looked remarkably well; they marched with much precision, and did great credit to their worthy captain and officers. They 1 have not had church parade for some eight years past. RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG. MEI)ICAL.-Ill the list of successful candidates at the April examination of the Royal College of Sur- geons in anatomy and physiology for the diploma of ) member, we are pleased to nnd the name of Mr John Charles Davies, son of Mr Benjamin Davies, Bee- hive. Mr Davies is to be congratulated upoi; laving obtained the honorable position on the list. ELECTION OF GUARDIANS.—The office-seekers in this neighbourhood are at loggerheads in consequence of the result of the late election of guardians. Several pasquinades, more emphatic than polite, have been issued on the subject, from which it may be inferred that the contest was carried on with an utter disregard of the Corrupt Practices Act. It is to be hoped, how- ever, that such is not the case, but that the dissatis- faction is owing to causes in which the old phrase Him; haec lackryma is applicable. ST. ASAPH. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, THURSDAY.—Present: Major Rowley Conwy, Mr T. G. Dixon, and Rev. John Pugh, ex-officios; Abergele: John Vaughan, Elias Roberts, and William Littler; Bodfary John Roberts Cwm Thomas Morgan Denbigh John Knowles, Robert Davies, and Edward Angel; Dymeirchion Edwin Morgan; Dysertli: Thomas Sleight; Henllan: John Roberts; Llanddulas: Edward Windsor Davies Llanfairtalhaiarn Robt. Davies Ijlansa.nna.n Thomas Howatson Rhudd- lan Ellis Powell Jones, Thomas Winston, William Bell, and John Pierce; St. Asaph John Kendall, John Kerfoot, and Thomas Howes Roberts St. George William Murray Clarke. Mr Grimsley having taken the chair, called upon the members present to nominate a chairman for the ensuing year.—Mr Dixon rose and begged to propose the re-election of Mr Brownlow W. Wynne, their respected chairman. (Hear, hear.) He had no sympathy with the unfortunate remarks which were made at the last meeting about and against Mr Wynne. Sometimes they may differ, but they would all agree with him when he said that when Mr Wynne formed an opinion he was sure to put it in force for the benefit of the union, and that without fear of anybody or favor for anybody. (Hear, hear.) His attendances, which had been twenty-one in the year, showed his deep interest in the work of the union. — Mr J. Roberts, of Geinas, said he quite agreed with what Mr Dixon had said, and he begged to second his motion, which was carried forthwith.—Mr T. Sleight moved, and Mr Powell Jones seconded, the election of Major Rowley Conwy as one of the vice-chairmen, and Mr J. Roberts. Foxhall, proposed, and Mr T. Winston seconded the election of Mr W. M. Clarke as another. Both propositions were carried unanimously, but Major Conwy requested that Mr Clarke should be named as the first vice-chairman, he having the most experience in the business of the Board.—Mr Clarke then, in the absence of Mr Brownlow Wynne, took the chair. He returned thanks at some length, spoke of the increased work now falling to the Board of Guardians, and expressed his opinion that the house test should be more rigidly applied so as to thin the out-door relief lists. The Various Committees of the Union, the assess- ment, sanitary, school attendance, finance, contract, vaccination, and the visiting and lunacy committees were then revised and the necessary vacancies filled up. The School Attendance Committee reported that they recommended the appointment of four out of the five old School Attendance Officers, at salaries of JE25, 220, t-20, and E25 each the fifth was not re-appointed, he having declined the salary offered. A lively con versation ensued, in which the salaries were discussed, some members thinking them too large for the work done others, however, defended the officers, and the I recommendation of the Committee was adopted, the Clerk stating that 117 prosecutions had been instituted during the past year. The three relieving officers were rewarded, one with P,3 3s and the other with €2 2s p.ach, for their work during the past year as and they v/erc re-appointed. A foe • of 210 was voted to Mr C. Grimsley, the Clerk, for conducting the late election of Guardians. otit-Pi,etirf.- Per John Jones, St. Asaph district, €125 0:5 Sll; per Edward Jones, Denbigh district, £ 84 Is 4tl; per Henry Williams, Abergele district, t73 12s 0d cheques, 2280; treasurer's balance, £ 290 IGs 3d.

Trade Intelligence. .J,_r,. "r. COAL AND IRON. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—For the last few days there has been practically a scare among speculators holding pig iron, and since last Tuesday prices have fallen more rapidly than they rose when the revival commenced. There has been a fall of 8s since last market day, and to-day No. 3 pig iron could easily be bought at 42s 6d, while 42s was generally oifered. Forge and warrants were the same prices. Makers hold aloof from selling at present, and consumers delay purchasing in expectation of still lower prices. Just now there are more sellers than buyers in finished iron. There is also a considerable fall in prices; plates, bars, and angles being 5s less. Puddled bars may now easily be bought at JM. Iron rails are £ 7 5s., and steel rails 28 10s but no orders are obtain- able. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—There was an over supply of raw and rolled iron, and business was dull. There were enquiries on speculative account, and not wholly unsuccessful attempts at bearing" the market. Branded bars remained at but common bars were under £1. Common block sheets and also galvanising sheets were easy, and so were galvanised corrugated sheets. High-class foreign pigs were offered at 30s under recent maximum. Tredegar hematites being t4 15s. Cinder pigs were procurable at under 50s. Cleveland pigs failed to secure customers at the drop of 7s.

AGRICULTURE. LOXDON AGRICULTURAL SEED TRADE, Wednesday, 21st April 1880.-The market to-day was moderately attended, and seeing that the season is drawing to a close, there was a fair general consumptive demand. Values all round stand at the unusually low level pre- viously described, choice Canadian cloverseed, in particular, being unprecedentedly cheap, continues in great favor. Alsike and trefoil are also now most reasonable. White clover is steady. Timothy and Lucerne are rather scarce. Spring tares find buyers on former terms. The sale for mustard and rapeseed is slow. Of Sanfoin the supply appears ex- hausted. Buckwheat and Linseed are without change. Very low quotations prevails for bird ectls.J OHN SHAW and SONS, seed merchants, 37, Mark-lane, London, K C. FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane: Express says—" Wet weather has set in opportunely for farmers, spring sowing and the lambing season being practically over. Vegetation has progressed steadily but slowly withal, as there has been little sunshine to hasten development, and the temperature until within the last three days has been colder than of late. This has not much affected cereals, as what plants have lacked in visible increase has been com- pensated for by a root growth which should form a good base on which to build the top crop. The present aspect of the wheat plant does not appear to give rise to many complaints, and the acreage sown may be taken at about an average. A larger breadth than usual has been put under spring corn, for the sowing of which the season has been unusually favor- able. Heavy soils are now working well, and farmers: have begun the clearing and preparation of the land for root crops. In Scotland great progress has been made with the planting of potatoes, and advices from i the north speak favorably of pastures and cereals. Farmers offer English wheat sparingly, both in Mark- lane and the country markets, thus proving that the reserves of last year's crops are extremely small."

WEST CHESHIRE ELECTION. j MR CORNWALLIS WEST AND HIS TENANTRY. We are requested to publish the following letter:— To Mr Davies, Llysfasi. Farm, lluthm. 4'.), Eaton-place, S. W., April If), 1880. DEAR SIR,-I hope the delay which has arisen in acknowledging the very gratifying letter sent to the chair- man of my committee during the recent contest in West Cheshire, and signed by 55 gentlemen and others connected with my Ruthin estate, has not led you or any of them to suppose that I did not fully appreciate the excellent inten- tion it displayed. I was, I assure you, deeply touched by this unexpected and spontaneous protest made by my Ruthin and Llanarmon tenantry to the aspersions cast upon me as a landlord by Sir Philip Kgerton and the Tory party in West Cheshire, Sir P. Egerton has had his attention drawn to the calumnious attacks made by him and others in speeches and placards, and has also seen the letter from my tenantry repudiating them, but lie declines to withdraw or apologise for them. He has of course a perfect right to his opinion :18 to what is or is not becoming courtesy between one gentleman and another after a political and n t a personal contest for a seat in Parliament, but I and many others think he would have studied his dignity best if he had taken example from his honourable colleague, as well as from his opponents, by eschewing the foolish and in sume resp cts bitter per- sonalities which during the late contest so disfigured his utterances, and by acknowledging that at any rate in one particular regarding the relations subsisting between my- se f and my tenantry he was in error. Pleise to convey my best thanks to the signatories of the letters, and in the hope that I may never forfeit the good opinion you and they now entertain of me, and which they have so loyally expressed at a time when they saw me un- justifiably attacked, I remain, ever faithfully yours, W. CORNWALLIS WEST.

AN OPEN SESSION AT CAERGWRLE was held last Monday evening at the Presbyterian Chapel, Caer- gwrle, by the Good Templars of the place. The Rev. Mr Hardwick, Wesleyan minister, in the chair, and the hearty manner in which he did his work was very highly appreciated. Addresses were given by Messrs. Vaughan and Griffiths, and songs and choruses were well rendered by Messrs. Griffiths, Evans, and Jones. The meeting all through was very enjoyable, and quite refreshing after the electioneering excitement. THE MEMBERS FOR SOUTH-EAST LANCASHIRE AND THE WELSH UNIVERSITY.—The new members for South-east Lancashire having been written to on the subject of university education in Wales, have replied as follows to Mr J. G. Jones, of Manchester:—Mr Agnew, M.P., wrote :—" The University College of Wales has my best sympathies. The delight with which I observe every effort to obtain for the people education in its highest forms is unbounded, and especially do I admire those noble hearted Welshmen who are determined to have the fullest educational advantages secured for the Principality. I esteem it to be a privilege to devote myself to the duty of supporting the movement, and you may depend upon my activity as you may upon my sympathy." Mr Leake, M.P.,—"The Principality has a just claim to the Governmental support of the University College that is accorded to the higher educational establish- ments in the three kingdoms. My desire to promote economy in the administration of the national estate shall not stand in the way of so reasonable and valu- able an expenditure as a grant to your college would entail. The voluntary efforts made by your country- men in the cause of higher education sufficiently attest their worthiness to recei ve as liberal assistance from the state as is rendered to any of their compat- riots. DOMESDAY BOOK.—The world-renowned Domesday Book is kept under glass in the library of the Record Office, Fetter-lane. It is composed of two volumes, which, curiously enough, are not the same size, one a folio, of 382 double pages of vellum, each page having double columns; the other a quarto volume, of 450 double pages, written in single column. Both are in magnificent preservation, written in bold and plain hand on skins of vellum. The larger book comprises the surveys of 31 counties; the smaller only the counties of Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk, and part I of Rutland included in that of Northampton, and part of Lancashire in York and Chester. Domes- day is supposed to have been completed about 1086, or nearly eight centuries ago, and we are told by contemporary records that its descriptions are wholly reliable and perfect, the object being that every man should have his rights, and not usurp those of others or that the persons who had the honor of a place in it were taxed for their land by the Conqueror. Its name is either derived from its authority, or it is a corruption of Domus Dei, at Westminster or Winchester. Any way, it was anciently kept by the side of the Tally Court of the Exchequer, under three locks and keys. until it was deposited in the Westminster Chapter-house in 16%, whence, at the restoration of that building, it was removed to the Record Office some twenty years ago. I At the beginning of this century its binding was of wooden boards strengthenecPby brass plates, with bosses arranged in patterns. Insects appear to have got into the wood, and the two volumes were rebound in a very handsome lpanner (black morocco, blind tooling and silver knobs) without injuring the contents, by Rivère, and cost, we have been told, £300. A massive iron chest contained them for generations.—Builder. THE VISIT OF MR JOHN BRIGHT TO HAWARDEN. —A correspondent writing to the Liverpool Daily Post says :-1 occasionally go to Hawarden on business, and by great good luck was there on Saturday. On entering the village I met a friend who told me that John Bright" was at the Castle with Mr Gladstone. The village was quieter than usual (and ordinarily Hawarden is about as quiet a country place as I know), yet I was informed of Mr Bright's visit by several friends, one of whom had seen the two great men walking in the park. While engaged in conversation, my friend suddenly exclaimed, "There they are," and I saw the two great Liberal leaders wandering across from the Castle lodge to the Rectory avenue. Mr Gladstone's appearance is well known to me, but since the great anti-corn law agitation I had never seen Mr Bright, except a passing glance at a rail- way station. There was nothing remarkable in the appearance of two elderly English gentlemen walking across a street, but the sight was a. most interesting one to me, as it would doubtless be to most of my countrymen. I was some two hours afterwards at Queen's Ferry Railway Station, and seeing Mr Bright pacing the platform by himself, took the liberty of introducing myself to him. I had the less difficulty in doing so as I was able to refer him to a mutual friend with whom, he told me, he had been playing billiards that morning. I am not an interviewer, but during my wanderings about Hawarden in the afternoon I had become acquainted with the fact that Mr Bright's visit to Mr Gladstone had been telegraphed to more than one Press corres- pondent in the neighbourhood. I informed him of the fact, and remarked that it was natural some signific- ance should be attached to the visit at that critical time. His reply was that Hawarden being at a con- venient distance from Llandudno he had taken the opportunity of making a friendly call upon Mr Glad- stone. He seemed interested in the newspaper rumours as to Lord Beaconsfield's resignation, and for the few minutes which elapsed before the 6.5 down crain arrived I had the pleasure of a semi-political that with one whom I always remember as a bene- factor to ii; countrymen.

SIR,-In your last issue I read with pleasure the letter of Pleader," on early closing, which I fully agree with. In this district, the shops as a rule, are open on five nights in the week until eight o'clock, and very often later. On Saturday night they keep open until nearly twelve. Now, as one of the unfor- tunates behind the counter, I consider it a great injustice to keep young men from getting their right- ful recreation. We hardly get half-an-hour to our- selves to seek knowledge, &c., or take a walk for the good of our health. I for one would wish to see the Friday half-holiday carried out, which would he most beneficial to the employer and the employed, and were the masters seriously to take the matter into con- sideration it would no doubt greatly benefit them, economically and socially, for the young men would in every respect feel stronger, more spirited, more atten- tive, and more wakened to our respective branches on Saturdays to tread through what I consider a double day's work.—I am, yours most truly, CALICO. Cefn Mawr, April 21st, 1880. MODERN TORY JOURNALISM. SIR,—In a local paper, which I venture to say is the disgrace of journalism, it was said last week that if Sir Robert Cunliffe were offered an office under the Government he would not be justified in taking it be- cause he was a poor baronet. I say that the man who writes such scurrilous stuff deserves horsewhipping, and, knowing that by the disparity of position be- tween the libeller and the libelled he is free from such retaliation, he is a coward to presume on it. Why do the Tories tolerate the writing of such garbage as this? If there are any of them who would venture to say it is fair and allowable, then I say that this is an allowable reply :—That if Mr Kenyon had won the seat he would have been disqualified to hold any office also, because he is a younger son of a poor peer. That he is a poor country squire with an income of £ 1,500 a year only. That he has fought two elections and not been able to pay the expenses of either, but has had to send round his hat to his friends. I feel that these are hard things to say, but if Mr Kenyon and his friends will still subsidise a paper that only finds aliment for its existence in scurrility then let him take the consequences.— Yours, COLD IRo. RUBBING THE SORE PLACE. ——— SIR,-I read the leaders of your contemporary la.pt week—judging by the bittern ess of the articles I think I should not be wrong in writing your adversary —the editor is evidently doing his best to make the defeat of the Conservative candidate as little felt by his party as possible. If the friends of Sir Robert thought he would be returned by a good majority, so did the friends of the Honorable George. The night before the polling I heard Mr Kenyon say he believed he should be returned for the Denbighshire Boroughs by a majority of not less than 300. Let me then ask How does the conifdent anticipated majority of 300 sink into a minority of 15?" I must leave your ad-' versary to explain this, and also what hs means by t a "technical success." To explain a way a defeat, to canvass the political opinions of those from whom we differ, is right and fair if done honestly and honorably. To invade, as at least one of the articles does do, the sanctity of an opponent's private life and affairs, is, I am glad to know, alike condemned by men of all parties. The dishonorable and unworthy use made of Sir Robert's name carries with it its own condemnation. To try by throwing such foul mud to bolster up the fallen fortunes of a party is an un- doubted mistake, and the weapons used will only recoil on the heads of those who so unscrupulously and vindictively use them. A LOOKER ON. A LOOKER ON. SUNDAY CLOSING FOR WALES. SIR,—May I trouble you for a small space in your valuable journal to refer to some observations made in a letter, which appeared in your last issue, signed by one J. Roberts (I presume he is not the honorable member for the Flintshire Boroughs). Evidently he is greatly alarmed by the proposed Sunday closing, as the result of that would be in the first place to deprive him of his glass of beer, secondly, his liberty. As for the first complaint, as far as I am concerned, I have no cause to fear it, as I am not in the habit of having anything as a beverage on Sundays other than that supplied by the Brymbo Water Company. But really, if the second complaint should become a fact, I think the whole empire should be alarmed, and that we should lose no time to reject such a bombilation which would deprive anyone of his liberty.- I have often heard that liberty without system or form leads to destruction. Men as they vary in features are equally varied in their intentions and customs, and if the Government would permit every man to carry out his own peculiar intentions and follow his own cus- toms could we call that liberty ? I imagine not, as this would be liberty without limits, and minus of system. I contemplate that it is the duty of our Government to study the interest and welfare of the pecple, and to construct such laws that would keep the people within the circle of liberty, and if the law acknowledges the Sabbath day and respects the same, they should cause every man to mark the same by leaving off his usual engagements. I say that there now remains inconsistency in the law, and at the same time, granting the temptation, such as allowing the public houses to open on Sundays, I do not mean that the Government should compel the people to attend church or chapel, but I say it is the duty of the Government to arrest and suppress the great national I evil, by removing the temptation on one hand and assist the nation to lead a moral life, especially on a Sabbath day. Whether the people attend places of worship or not the law would not be responsible for that, the responsibility of the moral actions of the people would entirely be upon themselves. I cannot see a shadow of foundation for the com- plaint, that the Sunday Closing would curtail the liberty of the people, when they consider the essential connection between liberty and system, which is necessary before we can enjoy true liberty. As for the various tradesmen which are said would be deprived of their glass of beer it the Sunday Closing becomes law. Speaking of them as such a class of people that will have their glass of beer, if they are so determined, let them provide before hand and "tore II their luxury. But I am convinced that very few of them would do this in comparison to those that have the Strong inclination of visiting the bars and the smoke rooms on a Sunday. Another Allssopic con- futation against Sunday Closing is that men who drink now will drink then, and the Sunday drinkings will take place in the man's own house, thus setting a bad example to the wife and children. If that is the case, which example would be the most ruinous, for the man to take his wife and children to the public houses on Sundays, or supping on the quiet at home? It is evident that J. R. has lost sight of the logical points in his letter, for he advocates Sunday drinking in the first part of his letter, and in the middle lie is labouring in difficulty to show tha bad example of drinking at home on Sundays than doing so at a public house. Coedpoeth. THOMAS ROBERTS, JUNR. THE RAGE OF THE "BLUES." DEAR SIR,-The following lines by A Wearer of the Blue," appeared in the columns of your contem- porary a few weeks back, no doubt written in a sure and certain hope"—(blasphemy, by Jove those words are in the Prayer Book-but never mind)—of the election of the Hon. George Kenyon to a seat in Parliament as a representative of the Denbigh Boroughs Oh people of Wrexham, whatever your shade Of colour may be, let our friendship ne'er fade I have known you so well in the days now long past, That I feel very sure our good friendship will last. My friend in blue is evidently no poet, although the sentiment expressed is good—one which I would re- commend all "blues" to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest —(more Prayer Book—more blas- phemy.) Now that the political battle is over, one would have thought our Conservative friends in Wrexham would have put from them that hatred, malice, and uncharitableness which they so unfortunately dis- played during the fight, and, forgetting the cuffs and blows given and received on both sides, manfully held out the hand to their fellow townsmen as a token that, although they had had a thrashing, they were none the less friends. But the feeling which has been mani- fested since the 6th inst. by the Tories of Wrexham has, if anything, been worse than that which preceded it. Suffering intensely from the pangs of defeat, they have been weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth," and crying vengeance on all those who have helped to return Sir Robert Cunliffe to Parliament, During the late contest the Tories made an unjust and hypocrital attack upon one of our most respected townsmen. They also reviled with all the malignity they are capable of, those gentlemen, the dissenting ministers of our town, who, as good citzens, came boldly forward to fight in a righteous cause. Although the Conservatives of Wrexham have, during the past struggle, treated their opponents in anything but a courteous manner, now the fight is over the Liberals are willing to let bye-gones be bye-gones," and dis- play that kindly feeling which should always exist between neighbours and citizens. But, alas! the blues" are blw--tliey are still in the gall of bitterness!" The local organ of Toryism has been pouring forth its rivers of wormwood. A Tory" pouring C) Working man" (?) recommends a plan by which he hopes to annihilate all tradesmen whose views are not so narrow as his own. One, who glories in the name of "A Conservative" has been in the gutter scraping together some more mud to hurl at the heads of those horrid, blasphemous, Nonconformist ministers." Another, who, after rehearsing some of the grossest falsehoods, has the impudence to sign himself Veritas," repeats the infamous charges which have been made against those gentlemen, whose only fault has been that they have openly avowed before all their political faith and opinions. Yes. openly. They have not remained behind the scenes as certain Jesuitical wire-pullers have done, and put their puppets on the stage to act their part. Such ecclesiastical-political manipulitors have been working with might and main, displaying their dolls—dressed in blue, of course—in their varied characters, from a ) "Jolly Jack" to a "Queen," in the hope that they jj>?;jht attract the ignorant fmd dftv«!e the weak, Under-handed work never prospers, and it has not done so on this occasion. Ihey have been beaten, ;md-there' the rub. I only do hope, now that the Liberal Government is in power, with a good majority at its back, that we shall have a re-distribntion of seats, household suffrage in the counties (so that such places as the Rhos, Brymbo, Coedpoeth, &c., would be properly represented), and canvassing abolished, then Toryism, with all the despotic and tyrranical terrorism that ntme includes, will raise its head no more, but Liberalism (which means religious equality, political toleration, and freedom) will shed forth her beams of glorious light of truth, and give peace, plenty, and prosperity to all. With all apologies for trespassing- so much on your valuable space--I re- main, yours faithfully, 1-- A RADICAL.

Smith gave Oliver his head, and he came on and won by a couple of lengths. Bad third.
