MORE MACADAMISING.—Charles-street, we ob- serve, has new followed in the wake of Hope- street, High-street, &c., having had the pavement taken up, and the road relaid ac-ording to the most approved principles of John Macadam. The trades- men of the town appear to differ in opini311 as to the advantage or disadvantage of laying down the streets after this mode. The only advantage we cpuld ever see in the plan is, that there is less noise from the vehicles which pass along while on the other hand, the macadamising plan, either in extreme dry weather, or extreme wet weather, un- less well watered or well scraped, renders the streets nearly im passable. SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr, Charles Brown, cooper, son of Mr. John Brown, in the employ of Mr. T. Williams, brewer, Bridge-street, Wrexham, died on Wednesday morning last, very suddenly. He was taken poorly en Monday last, and continued so during Tuesday. On Wednesday morning he went into his father's yard, but on his return into the house he became very ill, and died delirious shortly afterwards. He was a young man in the prime of life, being only 24 years of age. HONESTY.—On Monday week, as a youth named James Rogers, in the employ of Miss BenDion, of Wrexham Fechan, was proceeding up the lane which runs at the back of Mr. Edgworth's to the Erddig valley, he found a sovereign on the road. He picked it up, and with very commendable hon- esty took it at once to his mistress to whom he told how he came by it, and where he found it. Oil the following day, a little boy, employed by the Rev. J. H M. Luxmoore, of Marchwiel, called at Miss Bennion's to inquire about it, when it was at once given up to him. He had been sent the pre- vious day by Mr. Luxmoore with some money to Mr. Thomas, of Brynnewydd, and boy-like, being curious to look at it, he undid the parcel, when the sovereign must have slipped out ill the lane. Having seen a dog in the lane, belonging to iliss Bennion he remembered the circumstance, and thought it just possible that some one might have been with him and picked it up. As it happened, he was right in his conclusions, and as we have stated, received the sovereign back again. The conduct of the youth Rogers is beyond all praise, and speaks well for his steiling honesty of charac- ter, as well as good sense, for honesty after all is the best policy. DISSENTERS DELINEATED BY AN EX-DISSEXTER —The following list IIf choice epithets and phrases- have been selected at random from a tirade, written by a native rhymester, and published on Thursday last, against Gresford Ladies Club;- Vilf Dissenters Pare their Claws Despicable Faw Feed their Spite Turned their eyeballs in- sitle out Revei t, fee simple, to the devil Roundheads A canting contradictory; set Turn theirsnoutsto west When these creatures (the Dissenters) trans- migrate, they'll go into Swine lhrash them might and main behind But drat them Beetle forehead, turned up nose and figure like a tub A cross grained ugly beast FALLING OUT OF A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—When the excursion train which left Wrexham for the Wrekin, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham, on Monday last, was returning from Birmingham, one of the excursionists, who had not kept within the bounds of teetutal sm, fell out Of the carriage, and had a narrow chance of being run over by an express train which passed just at the time. Only tor the promptness of Mr. llushton we think his death would have been inevitable. THE INCORPORATION.—The first instalment for obtaining a Charter of Incoporatioll was forwarded to London on Thursday last, amounting to L250. Tuis we understand, is ab, ut one third ot what the who.e expense will be. The sum was raised by private gentlemen of the town, but of course the money will have to be repaid to them by a rate on the inhabi- tants. Perhaps our townsmen will uow believe that the Charter is a reality-at least they will not doubt it when the money is to be repaid. BOWLING GREEN.—We are given to understand that a challenge has been received from the Chester club and accepted by this. Friday (yesterday) was the day proposed on which to play the match on this Green, but it seems that day would not suit the Chester players, and, as there are so many club anniversaries to be celebrated in Wrexham in the week, the match is postponed until Tuesday week, when, if nothing hapenns to prevent it, the match will come off. It is perhaps superfluous forus to say that we heartily hope our own club may be sue cessful on its own ground again. A LEGAL" PUN.-Thc action Sherrat v. Piecte which was heard in the County Couit, on Tuesday last, before E. L. Richards, Esq., was to recover damages for a certain number of fowls, the pro perty of the plaintiff, and which had been shot by the defendant. The case from several causes gave rise to much pleasantry, and after awarding the plaintiff os. damages instead of 40s. as claimed his Honour, jocosely remarked, that it was cet tain- ly a very poultry (paltry) case. --+-=: -0-
- - - -THE COMMITTEE OF THE…
THE COMMITTEE OF THE WREX- HAM DISPENSARY AND MR. GILLER. OUR respected townsman, Mr. Giller has done what a witty wag hoped his worst enemy would do-he has written a letter. The Com- mittee of the Wrexham Infirmary thought proper to intimate to the lati matron and house-keeper, Mrs. Hughes, that it would be to the advantage of the institution if she were to retire from the very responsible situation which she held. They were induced to do so by reason of certain charges which were preferred against her by the late house surgeon, Mr. Pitt, which she was unable to disprove, and which were very reluctantly corroborated by the then nurse and present matron. Mr. Giller calls in question the justice of their decision, and states that she was dismissed, not for charges proved against her, but upon one solitary ac- cusation which he maintains she was not guilty of, or, at least, it was not proved against her. As a member of the committee we need not re- mind Mr. Giller that this accusation against his brother committee-men is a very grave one, and if proper to be made in a public print at all (which we much question) he should have been able to clearly demonstrate the truth of it. That Mr. Giller believes, himself, the truth of what he advances and the logical fairness of his deductions we can very well understand. That Mr. Giller is entirely in the wrong, both as it regards his data and the inferences which he draws from them, we happen to be in a posi- tion to prove. If the late matron had been dismissed simply upon the charge that she advised seveial in-door patients to leave the institution and seek for assistance elsewhere, and there were no proof to substantiate this, then, we agree with him that she has suffered a great injustice, and with him we should be inclined to find fault with the members of the committee. But this is not the case and if Mr. Giller does not know it he ought to have known it, especially before he makes a public charge against a respectable body "f men in a local newspaper. If he be- lieved them to be wrong, why did he not, as one of their body, personally attend their meet- ings, and attempt to set them right, That would have been a much more effective as well as gentlemanly course to pursue, and the marvel is that he was not induced to follow it. In truth we are afraid that in attempting to put Mis. Hughes right, he has put himself wrong. Of this, however, the public shall judge for them- selves. About three months ago Mr. Pitt accident- ally made some remarks to several of the medi- cal gentlemen in attendance at the infirmary, intimating that the matron was not very good tempered, and also that but we need not re- peat the other charges here as Mr. Giller can find them himself recorded in the minutes. The charges were not formally made; but Dr. Griffith insisted that he should reduce them to writing and send them in that form to be considered by the committee. This was ac- cordingly done. There were five separate char 'es and of such a cbaracter that it was resolved to postpone the investigation of them until ihe next monthly meeting. The gentle- men present at the investigation were the Rev. W. Davies, [chairman] Dr. Rowland, Dr. Dickenson, Capt. M'Coy, J. F. Edgerley, Esq, and Mr. A. W. Edwards. Mr. Pitt underwent a most rigorous cross-examination, not upon one point only, but upon the whole of them, and in most instances he spoke from his own personal knowledge. The matron was then called in and was asked what she had to say in answer to the charges so circumstantially re- lated. She refused to defend herself beyond stating that they were all a tissue of falsehoods. She did not stop here, however. In order to defend herself, she thought it politic to bring a counter charge, and this she did by accusing Mr. Pitt and the nurse with being upon too in- timate terms. The nurse was then called in, and was evidently anxious not to criminate the matron, if possible but being pressed to speak the whole truth, she eventually corroborated what Mr. Pitt had stated in every particular. Upon this evidence the committee unanimously I decided that Mrs. Hughes was not a proper person to tulfil the duties of the situation of ma- tron to an infirmary, and the chairman inform- ed her of this decision. If Mr. Giller wishes a fuller explanation on this subject and desires us to specify the charges, with the proofs ad- duced, we are quite prepared to do so. For the present we shall leave it for the public to decide between him and the gentlemen who were then present as to which party is likely to be in error. When Mr. Pitt was acquainted with the na- ture of the charge which Mrs. Hughes had brought against him he invited an investigation; and in consequence of this request a sub-committee of three gentlemen met and went into the matter. At its termination they declared the charge to be frivolous ind malicious" and so entered it on the minutes. Perhaps our readers will be more inclined to believe in the utter groundlessness of this charge when we inform them that Mr. Pitt at that time was paying his addresses to the daughter of the nurse, whom it seems he has since married, al- though the committee did not know it at the time. After this, certain friends of the matron g)t up a memorial in the town for the purpose of getting her installed hack into her office. The subject was again brought forward at the last monthly meeting of the committee, when Mr. Bjntham, Mr. Over- ton, Mr. E. Rogers, and Mr. Giller were present, in addition to the gentlemen who attended when the charges were first investigated. All of these gentlemen, with the exception of Mr. Giller, ap- proved of the decision which had been come to- the chairman, Mr. Bentham, observing that if it were only for bad temper she ought not to be al- lowed to act as matron in a situation wlfere firm- ness and kindness are the chief qualities required. Here then, we have Mr. Giller iairlv pitteJ against all the other members of the committee, and the public have to decide between them and him. The above are the facts of the case and ice chal- lenge Mr. Giller to dispute any one of them. We assert again that Mrs. Hughes was not dismissed by reason of any one charge, but because she was not able to explain away or to disprove any one of them. Even if she were not guilty, the committee could not have acted otherwise in justice to the public; for a person npon whom depends the lives of scores of individuals during the year, should, like Cesar's wife, be above suspicion. Feeling this and knowing Mr. Giller to he a respectable man, we must express our surprise at his taking the very unusual course which he has done, and would hope that he was induced to write this letter not of his own will but at the suggestion of others. At all events he was not present when the investigation took place, and therefore, could not be SJ well acquaint- ed with the details as were the gentlemen of the committee with whom he is so wroth, and, therefore, could not be so well qualified to form an opinion.
I CHIT CHAT AT "OUR CLUB."…
CHIT CHAT AT "OUR CLUB." Longsbanks: I say, Mr. Grampus, where were you last Monday ? I came here punctually and brought my friend Crabstick with me and he- rause you were not here, I was told there would be no meeting—how is this ? I think you ought al- ways to be in your place. Grampus; Sir, you are but a young member and therefore I excuse you i otherwise I should he very angry and take serious notice of your conduct. You ought to have known, Sir, that I was making tny annual visit to Gresford Ladies' Club. Crabstick: Oh! Mr. Grampus, I am sorry and surprised that a respectable old gentleman like voti countenancing such iiieetinge. Don't you know, sir. that both our vicar aud the archdeacon do all in their power to put an end to such meeting, and think them verywickpd and improper? Grampus: Sir, I am an older man than von or either of the parsons, and I well remember the time when old Lady Cunlifle and her daughters—and such women you won't meet with in a hurry now-a-days l I can assure y>a—used to take a pride in aseeiibliti4 all the residents in the neighbourhood to walk with them nnd their poor neighbours in procession through the town; and delighted they were to see them all enjoy themselves together in a merry dance till nine o'clock, when every one of them was glad to go home to bed pretty well tired, I cion as-ure you. Aye, and I remember, too, how her ladyship, with all the pride of a fond mother, told everybody how her son George was to preach for them, and what a good preacher he was. 1 suppose now he thinks his mu- ihtr was very much in the wrong, and himself, too, he having received a new light" on the subject. Sawbones: It is evident he repents in sackcloth aud s'ies. Grampus: Well, I don't think that our morals or our manners are at all improved because we shan t dance, and I shall always, I hope, enjoy my annual hop at Gresford. As for the parson there, why he is a stranger and can't sympathise with our old sports and pastimes. Sawbones: I suppose he has physically wielded the birch and fernla so long that he cannot forbear doing so now religiously. Longshanks Well, Mr.Grampus, what do you think of this Sebastopol Gun that is coming. What are you •roin;; tu stibscribe ? Grampus: I shall subscribe handsomely upon one condition, that is, sir, that the gaod old rule, so long prevailing in Wrexham, be kept np. Sawbones: Not the Archdeacon's rule, Mr. Gram- pus ? Grumpus: No, no—his rule indeed, no; but that no account bti given of the money, nor how it is 8, ent All the members; Ila, ha, ha—capital! Grampus You may laugh if you like, hut you know I am a stickler for old customs, and no sub- I sc iptiou that ever I remember in Wiexham has been accounted for, aud all the better tuo. When a man gives his money, why its gone, and there's an end of it. 'Tis only your proud conceited people, w ho like to see their names in print (like our friend Sawbones there, whom I see trying so haid to look sensible) that dream of seeing an account of the expenditure of any public subscription. Crabslick: I am afraid there is a good deal of verjuice in Mr. Grumpus's remarks. For my part I think every shilling ought to be accouuted for- who have paid their subscription and who have not; how much it all amounts to, and how much has beeu spent, what the balance is, and » hat has been done with it-all this I think ought to be made known. I like the example which our worthy Merchant has set, in publishing the subscriptions in the 'Tiser which he has had to do with. Longshanks: Pooh 1 Pooh What's the use of all that ? We are all honest you know. If we were not there would be no sulscriptions paid; and as to a balance— Grampus: Why, there never is any. I tell you what, I shall begin to think you will begin to want just now au account of the funds of the Blue Ele- phant Club published-how many glasses of whisky toddy is consumed, what we pny for our suppers, and how many cigars wc smoke, just that our wives may kiiow all about it. It wont do, gentlemen—noth ng like keeping your own counsel, if vcu can. Go-a-head: I agree with you old Guv'ner, that it is all bosh. HnrlY up, I say, and drink, and never mind the subscription to that foolish gun. Grampus: After Mr. Go-ahead's very sensibl observation I think we had better adjourn for the evening. exeunt omnes.
THE FLEECE CLUB.
THE FLEECE CLUB. To the Editor of the Wrexham Adsertiser. Mr. Editor,- Th; recommendations I submitted in reference to the management of this Society through the columns of the Advertiser last year, and which I have constantly urfied in the club room have met with no response or encouragement from the mem- bers. I am still of opinion, that there onht to be a division of the accumulated funds amongst the mem- bers at certain periods, say every year, leaving a suf- ficient sum on hand to meet all contingencies. There is a balance now on hand of S1279 15s. 9d, which would aflord a division and still leave a fair beginning. Looking nt the annuil statement for the past year, I have a suggestion or two to make. Why cannotthe stewards blend the two half years accounts in one, so as to show the annual receipts and expenditure in one account, aud why are the accounts published without being audited. I observe the income from 137 members is Y,202 and the payments to the sick and superannuated mem bcrs is X145 6s. Od. to which may be added the sum of £ 46 payment made on the death of members which by some extraordinary pervertion is called legacy money." Now if we add to the above expenditure Jb31 16s. Od', which appears to have been paid for the feast" (to say nothing of various other items) iit gives £ 223 Is. Od. and shows that undesirable state of things which all ought to avoid, viz: atl excess of expenditure over income. There is something "jolly" I must admit in that tem of L3 1 15s. Od. for "feast hills," it is charac- eristic of Wrexham and the Fleece Club." Yours obediently, Bersham. £ s. D. THE LATE CRICKET MATCH. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Honour to whom honour is due." Sir,—A))ow me to correct an error which appeared n your' ast week's impression, in the account of the ate cricket match between the Wrexham and Ha- wa-devi Clubs. It is stated therein that "the bow- ling of Mr If. Iiii,hes was most effeetive." Now the fact is Sir, I did not bowl upon that occasion and the well-meant and I may say, the well-earned compliment, erroneously bestowed upon me, is due wholly and solely to our respected young townsman, Mi. II Hushes. Yours truly, Wrexham, July 14, W. HUGHES. .1

ROBBERY IN THE CHURCH YARD -On Sunday last the house of Mr. Leadbeater, watckmaker, in this town, was entered, and a quantity of jewellery, consisting of rings, broaches, &c., stolen. The booty would probably have been much greater had not Mr. Leadbeater, as is his custom, taken the watches up stairs. Mrs. Leadbeater was up about two o'clock, attending to a sick child, when she fancied she heard some noise below, and the robbers, disturbed by her movements, it is thought then made their escape. She was up again about four o'clock, and upon looking through the window saw the glass case in which they kept their jewellery, lying in the church-yard. Two suspicions looking characters were seen the following day going up Chester-road, and Superintendent Bradshaw went in search of them in this and other directions, but without any result. FORGETTING OXE'S OWN NAME.—In the Wrex- ham County Court on Tuesday a somewhat ludic- rous incident took place. The Clerk (Mr. Glasco- dine) called out a "John Jones" as plaintiff in an action, at the same time intimating to his Honour that he had mistaken his own name as it waS Wil- liam" and not John." After the merriment at so unusual a specimen of ignorance had subsided, His Honour asked how he came to make such a blunder, wheu he explained that another party had written out the account supplied to the court and had sub- stitutedJohn for William, which he himself didnot discover. We shall have people mistaking their own identity, next. HEXGLER'S MAMMOTH Ciitcrs.—Hcngler's cele- brated troope of artistes visited Wrexham on Monday night last, and drew a very large company. Their marquee which is a large and beautiful one was erected in the field adjoining the Cock Inn on the Holt road, and notwithstanding the great attrac- tion of the trip to the Wrekin and Birmingham it was very nearly filled, there not being less than 1000 persons present we should say. In addition to the ordinary equestrian feats on similar entertain- ments ani some extraordinary vaulting, there were some woiide. ful feats done on the tight rope and a perpendicular pole. Young Hengler's performances on the former is certainly the most daring and clever which we ever witnessed, and in our opinion fully justified the high enconiums which have been passed on him by the press, both in this country and in America. He walked the rope without a pole or anything to bolance himself with as much ease and grace as an ordinary person would upon the I flag pavement of High-street. He then leaped through a hoop twice at a bound to the utter amaze- ment and astonishment of the company, which greeted the feat with a hearty burst of applause, A s a coupe de grace to the wonderful performance he effects a summersault with as much ease and certainty as most persons would on terra firma The effort must be seen to be appreciated, for some of them are almost incredible. Another gentleman whose name we did not learn, literally ran up a perpendicular pole some nine or ten yards in height like a monkey, and with as much agility. The pole was balanced by another person and the daring climber when upon the top actually swang on it first by one leg and then by one arm. This feat was concluded by a rapid descent down the pole head foremost, to the consternation of all the old maids and timid bachelors in the company, who expected that death would have been the result. We need hardly say that their fears were quite groundless in this respect. Altogether the performances were of the very first class in this department of gymnastics and the equestrianism was equally as good. The only thing to regret was, that from some cause there II were no ladies in the company, which certainly in the eyes of the gentlemen, to a certain extent, di- minished the attraction. In other respects the entertainment was perfect.
I WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
I WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS. JULY 23, 1857.—Present. Mr. G. W, Chaloner, (chairman) Mr. Atherton, (vice-chairman) Messrs. A Joze, Poyser, Barton, D. Jones, Edisbury, A. W. Edwards, Roberts, (Ruabon) Whaley, C. Wright, Peters, Sanderson, Clay, Richards, (Wor- thenbury) Morris (Ruabon) Pickering, and Beavan. RCXAWAT Boys-The master reported that four bovs had run away from the house on Wednesday, two of which, however, had returned back. Two boys named Mitchell were still away, and he wished to know what steps he was to take and what punishment was to be inflicted on them. The Clerk having explained the nature of the punish- ment to be administered by the master, the Board decided that the relieving officer be directed to take proceedings against the father of the boys Mitchell. THE AUDITOR AND THE MASTER OF THE WORK- ILOU.I;E.-The Clerk read a communication from the Poor Law Board for the information" of the Guardians enclosing a correspondence which had taken place between them and the auditor, and Mr. Bragger, the master cf the Workhouse. Mr Ro- berts in a letter to the Board, dated the 3rd of July, makes certain complaints of the manner in which the books are kept by Mr. Bragger and enters into the details of the same. Mr. Bragger in re- ply states that he was not appointed master until the 27th of January last-but two months before the 25th of March—and intimates that the irregu- larities complained of by Mr. Roberts shall not occur again. The Board in its reply hopes that such will be the case. THE AUDITOR AND MR. MOBRIS, THE RELIEV- iN-G OFFICER.—The Clerk then read a letter from the Poor Law Board in reply to a letter sent to them by the Guardians in which they questioned the right of the Auditor to dictate to them what information they were to deem necessary to be sup- plied to them by the relieving officer in order to induce them to grant relief. The Board called the attention of the Guardians to the great experience of Mr. Roberts, and his opportunities for ascertain- ing correctly what ought to be done in this matter. and expressed themselves particularly auxious that the Guardians should take steps to find out the condition of persons receiving relief. They also intimated that in case the auditor made any more complaints they might think themselves justified in taking other steps to satisfy themselves on the subject. BRYMBO TOWNSHIP—ELECTION OF A NEW GUAR- DIAN.Nir. Sanderson moved that an application be made to the Poor Law Poard, requesting that a new election take place in Brymho, for the election of a guardian in the room of Mr MeCiymont who is dis- qualified, he not paying rent to the amount of k25 per annum. The motion, on being seconded by Mr. Edisbury, was carried unanimously. ATTENDANCE OF GUARDIANS.—Mr. D. Jones rose to make some remarks on the attendance of members in the early part of the meeting. When the Board first meets there are scarcely enough 01 Guardians present to trariiact the business, but about a quarter to 12 o'clock members attended just in time to have their names put dowu. Every one of them knew that this was the fact, and he thought that something ought to be done to prevent it, as they came th re only to have their names put down and nothing else. The Chairman said that Mr. Jones I could not be allowed to impute motives to the Guar- dians. If he spoke to facts the case would be different As to the Guardians they had a perfect right to come and go when they thought )rt;per. Mr. Atherton reminded them tnat all the Guardians were not so well situ ited as Mr. Jones was to attend. Mr. Poy- ser repelled with much indignation the implied cen- sure of Mr. Jones on the Guardians, which he con- tended was per fec!ly uncalled for. The attendance of the Wrexham Board was much better and more regular than in most Unions, although many of them had to Come a great distance. As to persons just popping in before 12 o'clock,on purpose to have their names put down, that was better than the habit which so.ne persons had of stopping until af'er t velve, and then to go to their dinner—thus leaving the general business to be done by others (laughter). For him- self he must again repeat that the censure of Mr. Jones was entirely uncalled for. Mr. Jones on rising to reply, was stopped by the Chairman, who stated that the discussion cmid not be continued is itiere was no motion before the Board. The subject then dropped. Number in the House 210—same as last week.

I i CHEAP TRIP TO THE WREKIN,…
i CHEAP TRIP TO THE WREKIN, WOLVER- HAMPfOiN, AND BIRMINGHAM. On Monday last, the 20th inst, an excursion train left Chester for the above places, calling at Rossett, Gresfurd Wrexham, Ruahon, Cefn, Llangollen Road, Chirk, Gobowen, Whittington, Rednal Bas- church, and Shrewsbury. Tile greatest number of departures were from Wrexham, the grea est num- ber of arrivals at Birmingham. Many of the par- ties had been to the Wrekin. previously, a circum- stance which induced them to prefer the crowded city to the more delectable sight to be obtained on the summit of the Wrekin. In consequence of the different destinations of the excursionists, the trip was wanting in that unity which characterised the excjrsion got up by the same parties in the sum- mer of 1836, and the absence of the band upon the present occasion was another feature which tended to diminish its attractions. As if to compensate for these drawbacks the weather was everything that could be desired, and the view from the mountain enchanting in the extreme. The train arrived at Wellington about ten o'clock, and after leaving the station the majority of the company at once set out for the Wrekin. The first two miles consists of a gentle ascent from the town to the base of the mountain, along a road delightfully shaded by overhanging trees, occasional openings in which gradually reveal to you the grandeur which awaits you upon your arrival at the top of the hill, the ascent of which is a sore trial of the muscles and sinews of the legs. At different points we found a refreshment stall, which, upon the day in question, was extensively patronised. The pro- prietress we felt certain must be possessed of a species of ubiquity which enabled her to superin- tend three distant stalls at the same time. We first met with her at the foot of the hill, where, after partaking ot her ginger-beer, we left her applying the cork-screw for another customer. Hall-way up we were invited by the same individual again to try another cooling draught. At the summit of the hill we found ourselves destined to meet our itinerant hostess a third time, and feeling a little puzzled as to the mode of transit adopted, we were induced to put a few questions by way of solution. We were forthwith favoured with a fliod of infor. mation which convinced us that the ginger- beer seller's powers of communication were by no means inferior to her means of locomotion. We had an outline of her personal history down to her widowhood, when she was left a widow with seven children, and had to betake herself to her present mode of obtaining a livelihood. She was regarded as an interloper by the woman at the top, and the man at the cottage. She had introduced a new tariff, was satisfied with small profits and quick returns, had brought her opponents down to her own prices, havingthereby increased their implacable hatred, they in return sought every opportunity of annoying her and injuring her trade, a circumstance which made her doubly vigilant, and compelled her to trip up and down the hill to superintend her different stalls, see fair play, insist upon free trade, and no affection or favour. How far Mrs. Sherbot dealt in the imaginative or the exaggerative we must leave our readers to infer, only informing them that we observed the two terrible opponents pursu- ing the even tenor of their way as cooly and com- posedly as though they were totally oblivious to the existence of their formidable rival. We were fur- ther favoured with a store of local legendary lore in reference to the proprietors of the hill—the Duke of Cleveland and the Hon. Mr. Herbert, the latter of which had made a frightful onslaught on the timber, having sold an unlimited quantity to a certain Mr. Groom, to whom the transaction had been such a profitable one that he would realize a princely in- come through it for the remainder of his life The thread of Mrs. Sherbot's narrative was here broken off by an order for a bottle of her ajrated, whereup- on we seized the opportunity to thread our way to the Needle s Eye, the first sight of which leads every scarecrow to exclaim that he never can get through that." Notwithstanding this, we were credibly informed that our antiquarian friend, M r. Edisbury, in one of his exploring expeditions, in scach of an- tidcluvian remains did so far compress himself as to squeeze himself through this narrow cleft. Another point of attraction was a projecting piece of rock called the Raven's Cup," the ascent and descent of which appeared to be a point of honour with all, from the fearless youth to the nervous old maid. It is utterly impossible to convey any idea of the majestic grandeur of the view from this isolated height on a clear day, similar to the one we were favoured with. To be conceived of it must be seen; the extent and uninterrupted nature of the scene exceededanythingwehadeverwitnessed. Manyofthe company spent several hours on the summit of the hill without any apparent weariness or symptoms of ennui. Not the least attractive feature in the ex- cursion was the descent, which in the higher and steeper portion of the hill gave rise to many inci- dents of fun and frolic. By seven o'clock most of the party had re-assembled at the Railway Station, some of whom we found had visited other objects of interest in the neighbourhood, more particularly Admaston Spa. The train was about half an hour beyond its time, twenty minutes of which had been lost in repairing some slight accident which had occurred to the engine. Upon the whole we thought the Birmicgham portion of the excursionists did not appear so well pleased with their day's pleasure as the Wrekin ones, but they certainly had been more liberal in their potations. [We have been favoured with the following glow- ing description of the above trip by a young lady who accompanied the excursion.] The delightful trip to the Wrekin," which has been so much anticipated, took place last Monday, the 20th inst. It was a lovely day, all nature seemed attuned to the general harmony, and added to the busy happy feeliugs of the pleasure-seekers in dreaming of their projected excurstou. and de- lighted with the beautiful morniug which seemed the herald of coming pleasure. They alighted at the Wellington station at 10 o'clock, a.m., thus leaving an entire day to explore the b amies of nature. There was no concourse of people to prevent free enjoy- ment, no bustling and crowding to mar the general pleasure. The ascent truly was toilsome, as the sun was shining iu all its meiidian splendour, and as we could not dismiss the attendance of so necessary a personage, we ielt grateful for the honour of his presence. But when the summit was reached, the J view beyond more than repaid the labour in ascending so beautiful was it, we are assured no tongue could tell or pen could paint its varied and expansive love- liness, the wide open country, enchantingly .beautifa), and the sweeping mountains beyond lormed a tit sub- ject for poet's pen or painter's art. No mist obscured the distinctness of outline, the day was so brilliantly beautiful; the lovely Severn, too, winding its calm placid way among the sweet green fields aud lovely vales beneath, rendering it altogether a scene on which no eye could rest without feeling the heart swell with gratitude to nature's God." One thing which added much to the entrancing loveliness of all around. While ascending, the sound of human voices broke on our ear, which in the deep stillness of all around, wafted by the gentle summer breezes, came murmuring through the trees in tones of sweet melody, which we found to issue from a group of elildren congregated on the top belonging to some neighbouring school, to whom some kind friend had given a ireat; but hum.n pen is alto- gether inadequate to afford a just description of the far and justly famed Wrekin, and to these who, not having seen are unwilling to believe, what m«y be termed, overstrained language. We will submLt to no censure whatever, but strenuously uro-c these to go and judge for themselves, when w; are as- sured every one will be most anxiov.s to contribute his mite of praise, and all will feel disposed to ren- der praise to Him to whom all praise is due. L'MGHi'Fui, DEATH or A LITTLE BoY IN THE BEAST MARKET.—OU Wednesday last, a little bov, lu years old, uamcd John Williams, sou of John Williams, of the Beast Market, in this town, met with his death under the fallowing distr. ssin- cir- cuuistances. Just after returning from school he went into the Feather's field, immediately opposite his own house, where his faihcr "as wor'in- on a hay stack. lie told his fit her he had had somehyn.os given him In school to commit to memory; that he would go home and get some tea, aud then commence learning them. Ou his way he commenced playing with a large stone land roller, driving it down the bill with his face towards the roller, and walking backwards. Alter desceoding the hill a little he was overpowered, the roller passing over his body, split- ting his skull, aud lacerating his head in a most frightful manner, pressing out the brain to such a degree, that portions of it were found adhering to the roller and on the ground. Only tea minutes elapsed between his death aud the time he left his father An inquest was held at the Hat Iou on Thursday, when a verdict ot accidental death was returned.

I RUABON COUNTY COURT.
I RUABON COUNTY COURT. This court ws9 held on Monday last before Edward Lewis Richards, Esq., Judge. A large number of plaints (about 70) had been cnrcred, but they were all simply debt cases, and very few came to a hearing. The only cases 0 I any interest were those which had been adjourned from ilie court held in June. WRIGHT v; ROBERTS.-This case had been re- ferred by consent to Mr. Edward Pugh, solicitor, of Wrexham, whose award giving the amount claimed- £10 18s 9d, was put in and read. Mr. Rymer on behalf of the defendant then said, that when the cause was referred t,) Mr. Pngh he had been instructed to reserve any points of law, which might be raised for the decision of His Honour. He (Mr. Ryuier) had raised what he considered a very important point, bnt it did not seem to have been mentioned by the arbitrator in his award. After some explanation by Mr. Pugh, His Honour said that judgment must be entered for the plaintiff, but it should be with a stay of execution until next court, to enable Mr. Pugh to draw up the points of law raised. PRICK V. JAMES.rhis, another adjourned case, was a claim for Ell, for malt sold by the plaintiff, a maltster at R'mbon, to the defendant, who is a publi- can at Cefumawr. The defendant met the claim with a flat denial that she ever had the malt. Mr. Rvmer called the plaintiff, who said that he sent the malt by I a carrier iu February last. Mr. Sabine called the defendant, who swore that she never ordered the malt and never received it, and Rogers the carrier, who swore that he did not take any malt from Price to the defendant in February the last lot he took was on January, the 3rd. In cross-examination he said, he remembered that there was a deep snow on the ground at the time he de- livered the malt. Mr. Rymer said he regretted he was not in a posi- tion to prove the kind of weather there was on the 3rd of January and in February, as he felt quite convinced that the plaintiff, who was a man well- known for many years in Ruabon to be of uublemishd reputation, would not have made the entries in his book, and have sworn to the deliverv of the malt so positively as he did unless it had been delivered. His Honour, after examing the plaintiffs book aud questioning the defendant, as to where she had the malt since January, said, he felt some little difficulty in deciding, but the defendant's was the strongest case and the verdict must he in her favour. ltoiiEins v. ROWE.—These (also adjournments) werr two separate actions brought by Mr. Roberts sometime tenant of New Hall, Farm, near Ru. abon, agninstMr. Hugh Rome, who succeeded him in the farm. One action was for clover and rye- grass sown on the farm, and for various things sold and supplied. The other, to recover some pillars, caps and stack fratne z, alleged to be unlawfully de- tained by the defendant.—Mr. J. R. Buckton, Mold, appeared f r the plaintiff and Mr. E. Pugh, Wrexham, for the defendant. The action in con- tract being first, Mr. Buckton briefly stated the case, and called thopliiiitiff w).o said-tliikt he gave ¡ up thc Tarm to defendant in February, 1.854, and the house and buildings in May of the same year. He had supplied butter to defendant's men, and the fir't item in his particulars was for that. (Mr, II Pugh having here stated that he could not contend against this item) phintiff went on to say that he I hacllaid down a field of a 'out 20 acre) with clover and rye grass in 1853, the bill produced for 2401bs. of clover seed was for the seed sown the rye grass was his own. It was the custom of the country that the incoming tenant should pay the out-going tenant for the seed sown Cross-examined by Mr. Pugh. The field had been previously sown with wheat and barley. No sheep had been turned in to grnzi the clover by his orders, nor Cdttle either. The sheep may have got in but he did not know of it. Had about 150 sheep then. Had land of his own near, aiid took his cattle there when he gave up New Hall. The clover crop was 'a good one, the field was bare in a few spots, but there were more bare p itches nov. Mr. Edward Wright and Mr. John Roberts, both farmers, gave evidence to the effect that it was the custom of the country for the incoming tenant to pay for the seed, tor which he would have the benefit. Mr. Charles Roberts had acted as clerk for Mr. Rowland, the auctioneer, since dead, at the sale at New Hall, the hook produced was the saie book, the cheese-press and other articles were entered against Mr. Rowe, and the bill was made out, the articles were, as he understood, to be taken to by the defendant Mr. Rowe, they were valued, but Mr. Rowe was not present at ihetime. James Griffths, late servant to the plaintiff, and now in the service of the defendant, stated that hehad sown the seed in dispute, and mowed it, and thought it a fdir crop, In crossexanllnatiou this witncss said, that the clover had failed in some places, and that he hlld seen the plaintiff's sheep in it, but did not remember having seen them in more than once. Was in the next field then, aud plaintiff was there too. Mr. Pugh, for the defence, said His answer was, that the plaintiff had regularly grazed the field in question, and consequently, had, as he would prove, no claim on the incoming tenant. He called Mr. Rowe, who said that he took New Hall Farm iu October, 1853, and the same day went over the field, it seemed to have been giazed, aud there were many sheep walks through it, it was very bare indeed, and he refused to pay for the seed in consequence. Cross-examined by Mr Buckton: He said that he had used the presses, because he considered he had bought them for ten shillings of the auctioneer. Mr. Hill, of Oswestry, said he had decided many cases of this description. It was the cllstom of the country that the incoming tenant should pay for the seed sown on the farm, unless he had habitually grazed ihosi fields. If his sheep or cattle strayed in accidentally only, he ought to be paid. It must be proved that the crop had been grazed intentionally else. Air Exupcrius Pickering said, that he had been over tue field in March, 1854, and the ground then was very bare, and aeemed as if it had been regularly grazed. This being the termination of the evidence for the first case the action in detemie was then proceeded with. The damages were laid at L8, aud a verdict was given for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed in both cases. His Honour overruling au objictiou raised by Mr. Pugh, and which was really the de. fenc, viz., that Mr. Roberts had sold the things to Mr. Charles Griffiths, of the King's Mills, and that he, and not Mr. ltoberts, ou.ht to be the plaintiff DAVIES v. ROWLAND.—Mr. E. Pugh asked for an adjournment on the grounds that the goods claim- ed fur had been sold to the defendant's wife after the defendant had advertised that he would not be re sponsible for her debts, and he had not the paper containing the advertisement, to produce. His Hon- our granted the application on defendant's paying the costs of adjotirnitieut, at the same lime telling Mr. Pllgh that the production of the paper containing the advertisement \V"uIJ not help his client at all, unless he could prove that the advertisement had come to tht! knowledge of the plaintiff. BTTOADHURST v. STEPUENS.—Ou this judgment summons defendant was ordered to be committed for 40 days to RUI hin gaol, but the parties subsequently entered into arrangements, Plaintiff's solicitor (Mr. K. Pngh) consenting to take the amount by instal- ments.
Rhosymedre.
Rhosymedre. AN'NIVKRSA&Y OF -run PLAS MADOC LODm: OF ODI) 1'ELI.OWS.—The anuivt rsary of the above Lod-,e of the Independent Ordtr of Oddfellows was held on Saturday, the 18th inst, at Host llosbon's, the Plough Inn, Rhosyinedre. The brethren began to muster at an eaily hour, and after the transaction of some preliminary business they formed in procession aud proceeded to Plas Madoc, headed by a splendid brass band. The regalia, the flags, and the pro- pilioufliess of the weather gave au imposing appear- ance to the scene and brousht. together a large con- course of people to witness the proceedings. After the band playing a few select airs opposite the mansion of G. H. Whalley, Esq., the procession proceeded to Rhosymedre church, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Key. W. D. Reece, M.A. At the conclusion of the service they returned to dinner-a most sumptuous bpread having been provided for up- wards of 200 at the large assembly room, The clergy aud a number of other friends joined the Dem- bel's of the Lodg-e at dinner, and ample justice was done to the good things so bountifully supplied by Host Hobson. After the removal of the cloth, toast, sentiment, and song passed iu rapid succession, and the utmost conviviality and harmonious feeling cha- racterised the whole proceedings. A number of comic songs were also sung, which added much to the hi. larity of the evening, and the company separated at a late hour, much delighted with the whole entertain- ment. On the Monday evening following, a most sumptuous supper was given to about ICO frequenters of the Plough Inn, aud another delightful evening was spent by the whole company. CHESTKR RAILWAY BRIDGE.—On Sunday after- noon last the railway bridge which crosses the Dee by the racecourse was discovered to be on fire, some ciuders which dropped from a passing train having ignited it. The fire was fortunately discovered be- fore it did much damage, and was speedily extin- guished. This is the same bridge which about 10 years ago gave way as a passenger train was crossing it, whereby several lives were lost and a great num- ber of people seriously injured.
I -- - - BFTYMBO. !
I BFTYMBO. THE BRITISH SCHOOLS.—On Wednesday, the 15th ipst., W. H, Darby, E q of Brymbo Works, treated the children of the B itish Schools together with the members of the committee aud their fam- ilies to a tea, which partook more of the character of r a feast. The day was exceedingly fine and in conse- I quence the tables were laid in the open air on Foel Fawr, above Penycoed colliery, from whence there is a splendid prospect of the Welsh hills, the river Mersey, the city of Chester, and the plains of Cheshire and Shropshire, with the hills of Staf. fordshire in the distance. C. E. Darby, Esq, pro- duced a telescope, a peep through which much gratified the little ladies and gentlemen" present. A very pleasant evening was spent by all the com- pany, who departed highly pleased, and gratified for the kindness of their esteemed benefactor. The school is now conducted by Mr. Goodman, a young person, from whose exertions and abilities the com- mittee anticipate most beneficial results to the neighbourhood. The average attendance is now about 80, but much difficulty is experienced for a room as the school is kept in a chapel, which is most inconvenient. The space is much too little, and the class divisions cannot be properly attended to. A new school-room we understand is about being erected, £ 180 being already subscribed, but some difficulty is experienced in finding a suitable site. It is intended, if possible to have the school built between the townships of Brymbo and Broughton, and that too where the underground workings will not affect the surface. We hope that these difficulties will, however, soon be over- come, and a new schoolroom be erected for this very populous neighbourhood.
RUTHIN.'I
RUTHIN. RUTHIN FETE CHAMPEFRE AND BAZAAR I By a glance at our advertising columns, our read- ers will see a programme, or rattier a notice of a Bazaar, which is to be held in the mouth ot September, with the laudable object of increasing the fund s of the church. We wish particularly to draw the attention of all classes of our readers to this announcement inasmuch as the Fete," (for such we are authorised to call it) is within the reach of the community at large, and will afford, not only a day s real recreation and pleasure to all the iuhabitan s of the surrounding district, but joined as it is, with he charitable view of enlarging and beautifying the church, it will give an opportunity to all of opeuly showing a liberal, charitable spirit. We are sure it will not fail to attract crowds of pleasure-seekers, beut oil a day's ftolic-tourists iu search of the pic- turesque, and in a woid, all who have it in their power to go. The situation chosen for the Feie is perfect. It will be held in the grounds of Ruthi n Castle, which have very liberally been opeued for the occasion, by the worthy pioprietor, Mr. F. R. West. Situated in the midst of the Vale of Clwyd, it com- mauds mountain scenery only to be compared to the bold and tortuous windi ugs of the Appenniues. To see this alone would recompeuse a day's journey—but when we mention the attractions immediately in connection with the Fete, our readers laying down the paper, and emphatically turning to his wonder- ing family circle, will dcclare his fixed purpose of being present, and there aud then graphically aud geographically point out to them the means of get- ting to Ruthiu. To begiu wilh-imagine a bright September's day, with the wind gently cooling the air, and rustling the thick foliage ot the trees as you drive into thelanse massive gateway of the Castle-a picturesque scene miets your eye. Before you lie stretched a perfect encampment of shops, tents, stalls, all vieiug with each other in the beauty and perfect arraugemeut ot their contents. Here you have handsome articles of needlework, interspersed with trinkets and ornaments of every size and description. You stare wildly at all the wonders but in order to prevent any possibility of escape, you are seized by a fair Syren, behind the counter, whose smile alone is enough to make the verriestmiser shell out his last sixpence from the dirty coruer of his well- worn purse. Well you proceed ou your coiirse-inoved by the tuues of a soul stirring band, whose notes enthral vou still more in the uleasure of the scene. You I proceed 1 say, to some crowded lottery table, where for a shilling you ruj the chauce of bringing home a handsome bonnet to your devoted wife, or a whole suit of baby linen to the last little stranger in your domestic establishment. To the Artist, there will be I ample opportunity for studying the ditferent styles of modern painters in water coluurs, who have given their works either for saie or on loan. The exhibi- tion will be open all day, at the moderate price of six pennies admission. Think of this, oh lovers of true art! and contribute some of your own perfor- mances, according to the tastes and accomplishments with which you are eudoned. Tbere will also, we understand, be several sights or travelling wouders for the amusement and edification of the juvenile portion 01 the assemblage; bud whether we are right in propagating a report that a famous eastern poten- tate, now resident in this coltutry, is likely to be present, we cannot vouchsafe to say; at any rate there will be food for the million in the shape of amusement and eGtertaiument without end to the lover of Art, in every shape aud style. And when we consider that the Fete is uuder the contioul and management of the leading gentry of the neighbour- hood, who are determined to leave nothing undone that can be done, to forward the success of the Ba- zaar, we feel certain that this affair will meet with a support far outstripping that of any former occasion and that the pecuniary results will be not only satis- factory, but will reflect the bighest honor on the charitable spirit of the whole population of the dis- trict. We understand that a Ball is in contemplation, as an appropriate wind un to the Festivities, and we would strongly recommend an early application for rooms, as the town is expected to be full. Special trains and omnibusses will run from Chester, and Mold, Denbigh, Rhyl, &c. a A fuller and more complete programme Will shortly ppear.
