BODY or AN INFANT YOVXD IN A RAILWAY CAR- RIAGE.—On Wednesday last the down train of the Great Western Company, which leaves Birmingham at 8 55 a.m., arrived at Birkenhead at its appointed time. After the passengers had quitted the carriages the porter as usnal looked into each of them, to ascertain if anything was left behind. Under the seat of a first class carriage he at last discovered a brown paper parcel addressed to the Rev. A. Knox, Birkenhead." It was at once taken into the station, when from some cause the station master's sus- picion's were aroused, and he ordered the parcel to be opened. The officials were naturally very much surprised to find that it contained the dead body of a fine full-grown infant 1 A surgeon who chanced to be on the spot examined the body and gave it as his opinion that it had been born alive, and also that it had not been born more than 24 hours. The police authorities were at one communicated with, and an inquest was to be held on the body yesterday (Friday), when probably this mysterious occurrence will receive some solution. We shall give the particulars in our next.

IIOI,LOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS certain remedies for sore legs.-Mr. Johnson, Chemist, of Great Howard-street, iverpool, informed Professor lloiloway, that Mrs. Jack- son, residing near his establishment, had suffered many years with an ulcerated leg, during which time she was applying remedy after remedy without any permanent benefit. Consequently, as a last resource, he recommended her to try Holloway's Ointment aud Pills, and these medi- ciues have been the means ot completely healing her leg, to the great satisfaction of herself and others, who bad con- sidered it incurable.

PROSPECTS OF CHEAP BREAD. I ? I 1 .1 ..?  IT is admitted on all lIa(1S tnat tne Harvest which is now being gathered in, is one of the most abundant which we have had in this country for many years past. The yield is said to be excellent, and the weight much above the average. This, to- gether with tolerably propitious weather for getting it in, secures for us a good provision of the first ne- cessary of life, for the next 12 months at least-a blessing which will make itself felt by all classes of the community, the rich as well as the poor. Prices may not rule so low as in some former years (1835 for example) but it is impossible for them to be very high. For the last two or three years we have not ex- perienced what are termed bad harvests and the crops have not fallen far short of a good average. Still, during that period wheat has been rather high in price, as indeed has every other kind of agricul- tural produce and to supply their families with bread, mechanics and labourers, and those with but limited means, have been obliged to sadly stint themselves in other things not so absolutely essential. Many persons are surprised at this, not being en- abled to account for the continued high price of wheat when the harvests have been tolerably good. These persons seem to forget that Britain with its 27 millions of people, has an area of only 120,000 square miles, including pasture land, water, lakes, and mountains, andthatunder'nocircumstances does it ever grow enough to support its population and hence the dearness or cheapness of wheat in England depends in a great measure on the harvests of other countries. Last year there was but a very scanty crop all over the Continent—especially in Spain and France, and those countries in conse- quence instead of exporting wheat to this country, imported large quantities, and competed with us in our own markets. We usually obtain our supplies from America, Russia, and the ports of the Baltic but the war with Russia suspended all commerce, and rendered us entirely dependant on America, which country alone appears to have been blessed with a bountiful harvest. With low stocks at home—with all but a famine in some parts of Spain, the drain on America was unusually heavy, and consequently prices at New York remained firm during the whole of the year. This we think will satisfactorily show the cause why wheat has continued during this period at between 10s. to 12s. per measure in Eng- and, although the harvest of 185G was by no means an unproductive one This year, however, matters have much changed. In the States and Canada the grain crops are very abundant, and so indeed, it may be affirmed of all the principal countries in Europe, whilst at home we have a wheat crop of unusual abundance. The re- appearance of the potatoe blight in a rather viru- lent form, and the consequent loss in that popular esculent must be put as a set-off against this picture of universal plenty but all things considered (and especially should the latter period of the harvest weather in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland prove pro- pitious) it is certain that the present price of wheat cannot be maintained, and the working classes of the empire may safely calculate on having cheap as well as good bread. As to other agricultural produce we must not calculate on any serious decline. Thanks to Free- trade the manufacturing towns are in a healthy state of prosperity, and in consequence our operatives are earning good wages, which they as a matter of course spend chiefly in articles of food supplied by the far- mers. The interest of the latter with the former must be obvious to the dullest apprehension,—for when no money is gotten none can be spent, and the Operatives in our large towns, when trade is brisk, are the farmer's best customers. Butter, ejrtrs, meat, fowls, &c., are all supplied by him,—as wheat, though one important item, is not the only produc- tion of the land; and when trade is good, and wheat moderately cheap, the operative will have more to spend on what we are afraid must be accounted luxuries to him. Here then it is clearly shewn that Free-trade has a direct tendency to assist the farmer as well as the manufacturing class, because the ar- ticles above mentioned are not, nor can they be im- ported in large quantities, nor are they affected in any sensible degree by foreign markets. What the farmer then has to fear is not cheap bread, but de- pressed trade in our large towns—that is, poverty amongst his best and principal customers. As to the extent of money earned, and work done, of late years in the manufacturing districts, may be judged of by the fact that within the last 10 years our ex- ports have actually doubled. That is, we exported in the year 1847 a little over 60 millions worth of manufactured goods of all kinds whilst in 1857 the amount will be 120 millions for in the last half year ending July, the trade returns gave upwards of 60 millions, and trade is continually increasing. When then it is considered that nine-tenths of the cost of any article is paid for in labour of some kind, the immense amount of wages earned bv the opera- tives in our towns can easily be conceived. AVhilst however we anticipate that "a good time is coming" for the working classes, we think our friends the farmers have no cause to despair even should wheat be reduced to 7s. 6(1. per measure for with barley at 6s. per measure, beef and mutton at 7d. per lb, butter at Is. 4d., potatoes 4s. per measure, and fowls at 3s. per couple, he will still be enabled to pay his rent, taxes, and tradesmen's bills and still have a little to put in his bureau. If not, farming must be anything but a profitable business, and in really cheap years, a disastrous one. As it regards the kingdom generally, the railway has had a wonderful effect in equalising prices- lowering them in large towns and raising them in country districts. Living, and all articles of food are quite as cheap in Manchester and London as in Oswestry and Wrexham, which was not the case but only a few years ago. Cheese can now be sent to London from Wrexham with greater facility than it could formerly to Chester, and we believe in some instances it is so. Our butchers, at the fairs, find themselves elbowed by dealers from Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, and Manchester, and have to look sharp to purchase beasts sufficient for the home consumption, and must pay sharply for it too. The country housewives consider the Liver- pool hucksters their very best friends, and sell their eggs and fowls by wholesale for better prices than they could formerly obtain by retail. This state of things has been brought about by the railway chiefly, and has therefore benefitted the farmer to a very great extent, acting conjointly with Free-trade in his favor. 0 Despite then the war in India, we anticipate cheap bread for the people during the approaching winter, with good wages and plenty of employment, and for the farmer a 0 good market for everything e se; and for all, peace and contentment throughout the length and breadth of the land.

UNION AMONGST CHRISTIANS. THE dark side of the Christianity of modern times, es- pecially amongst Protestants, is the schism which prevails amongst its professors. It is essentially a religion of charity and love—that is, in its fundamental principles, and is applicable to every state and condition of man. Christians ought to be one and although differences of opinioa on minor points must and will exist, still mutual forbearance ouzht to be exercised, and a proper ex- ample set before the world. It is useless to inculcate humility from the pulpit, it we exhibit pride in our daily lives; and still more so to try to instil the principles of love and disinterestedness, when by our conduct we show clearlv that we ourselves are actuated by neither one nor the other. The world may be erring and sinful but it has always sufficient penetration to distinguish between the genuine and the false. A mau way be a great stickler for the "ism" to which he belongs, but it by 110 means follows that he will be a Christian in consequence. This the world" is quite aware of. We are glad, therefore to see that an attempt is being made in theCetn district, to unite for one common purpose all sects of Christians, Hot excepting the Church of England. On Sunday last (as will be seen by a report inserted in another column) a large meeting was held at the Ccln, at which no less than the ministers of 12 dif- ferent congregations of Dissenters attended and delivered suitable addresses, each advocating the necessity of a more united action. There could not have been less than 10,000 persons assembled, both Welsh and English and we are gl;,d also to state that the Incumbent of Rhosv- medre would have joined in the demonstration had not his duties prevented him doing so. This is a tep in the right direction, and we hope it will be followed in every part of the Principality. Hitherto there has been too much stiff- ness—too much personal antagonism and suouer the better this mischievous aud anti-Christian ieeling be done away with. The object of all Christians should be to evangelise the world and make :t better and happier, but to accomplish this, greater unity amongst the various sects 01 Christians must be established before much good wiiibecnccted.

WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THURSDAY, SEPT. 10TH, 1S57. Present: -Captain Panton, R.N. (chairman), Mr. Chaloner (vice-chairman), Simon Yorke, Esq., Rev. J. II. 31. Luumoore, Messrs. Manlcy, Dashwood Parry, LSrough, (J, Wright, Rowe, J. Roberts (Borras), Foyser: Atheriun, E. Lewis, D. Jones, Hughes (Fennant), Clay, Birch, Roberts (Eyton), Duckworth, Gainaii, Davies (Iloseley), Weaver, Whaley, Richards, and Exupcrius Pickering. THE OVERSEERS or LLAY.—A communication was read from the Poor Law Board, in which they allowed the Overseers of Llay £1 5s., the charge of printing a list of the county voters, but which Mr. T. K. Roberts, the auditor, bad struck out at his last audit. Mr. llo- berts's reasons for the disallowance was also enclosed, but as the case was a peculiar one, the Board ordered the amount to Le remitted, although it agreed with the reasons assigned by the auditor. llitYMiio.—NEW ELECTION OF A GUARDIAN.—In con- science of Mr. M'Clymont belu. disqualified to act as guardian for this township, a communication was re- ceived from the Poor Law Board authorising a new election. The voting pajiers are to be given out on the 28th of September, and the votes cast up on the 29th. Other particulars were also specified, as to giving notice, Sec. RUABON.—NEW ELLCHON OF GUARDIANS.—The fol- lowing letter was read from the Poor Law Board, by which it will be perceived that they have decided that the last election for Ruabon was void, for reasons therein specified. In consequence of this the parish will have to bear the expense of another election, Poor Law Board, Whitehall, 3rd Sept, 1S57. fair,—1 am directed by the Poor Law Board, to state that they have had under their consideration the ques- tion which has been raised as to the validity of your return of Mr. Chailes Wright, Mr. Hugh ltowc, Mr. Exuperius Pickering, and Mr. Richard Roberts, as the elected Guardians for the parish of Ruabon. The Board find that amongst others Mr. Joseph Jones and Mr. Jonathan Jones were candidates, and that both of their names were submitted to the ratepayers in the voting papers. On the return ol those papers it appears that Joseph Jones had 59 votes, and Mr. Jon- athan Jones 1.1(i votes. You, however, held, and as the Board consider on insufficient grounds, the latter to he disqualified for the office of Guardian, and returned Mr. Pickering as the elected Guardian in his t ttad, the latter having stood the next highest on the poll. But the Board further find that Mr. Joseph Jones was in fact disqualified for the office by reason of his not being .lated to the relief of the poor for property of the re- quired value, and they are of opinion that the fact of his name having been submitted to the ratepayers rendered the entire election void, as it is impossible to say in what way the votes given in his favour would have been dis- ttibuted amongst the other candidates, had his name been omitted from the voting papers. This being the case, the Board will proceed to issue an order declaring the election, as regards the whole of the candidates, a void election. I am, sir, your obedient servant, "(Signed,) COURTENY, Secretary. To Thos. Edgworth, Esq., "Clerk to the Guardians of the Wrexham Union." MR. POYSEleS REPORT.—The Chairman said that the present was an adjourned meeting of the board, to take into consideration the Report of the Committee appoin- ted on the motion of Mr Poyser which had been received and on which, he believed, Mr. Poyser intended to move a resolution. He, therefore, called upon him to do so. After one or two questions by Mr. Brough, who wished to know whether tne report really was the report of the committee or not, and whether they had inspected all the items, which questions were answered by Mr. Poyser and Mr. Picketing,- Mr. Poyser rose to move the following resolution That the relieving officers be required to brin- up for revision, on Thursday next, the cases of all able-bodied paupers under 70, who are not on the medical relief list, and not being a child under two years of age, or not belng in the first year of widowhood, receiving relief in aid of other income, and those who have relations able and liable to maintain them." Mr. Poyser said the committee had reported on 175 cases, numbering 527 people, who are receiving relief in aid of wages, the relief being about £1,114 per annum, and their reported earnings above ;C2,000 more. He then read over a great number of cases, making observations on them indivi- dually as he proceeded. Among this class were shoe- makers,toll-bar keepers, lodging-housekeepers, and others, whose earnings it was impossible for the relieving offi- cera to correctly get at, and still they were receiving relief from the union. He instanced a case in Ruabon parish where therejwere a man aged 71, his wife 67, and a youth. They received Is. Od. per} week from a club, the wife Is. GJ-. whilst the boy got 10s. 6d. per week, making their total income 13s. Od. and still this family were receiving Is. Gd. per week as relief from the union. One family, numbering only six, from all sources earned about 29s. per week, and yet they were placed on the relief list. He would not state for a fact that they did earn 29s., but it was probable they did. The Chairman here wished Mr. Poyser to read the application, so that the guardians may ascertain upon what grounds relief was granted to this family. Mr. Poyser said he had not the applications with him, nor could he get them only from the relieving officer's books. Besides, he did not wish to detain the Board too long. In addition to this class of paupers, there was another to which he objected, namely, persons whose relations were enabled to keep them. S367 per annum was given away to them, when in fact they ought to be compelled by law to support them. Mr. Poyser then read over a few instances of this class, amongst them being a case at Bangor, where the parents of a pauper received 150 in a fortnight after relief was granted, the relief being continued on. He also found by the books that X145 yer annum was paid to married women whose husbands had deserted them, and who, probably, were getting good wages. This was a wrong state of things altogether, and he knew well that insinuations were thrown out by certain parties against some cf the guar- dians on these women being allowed to have in this way the ratepayers' money. (Much laughter, which was in- creased when the Chairman looked round the Board and said, I do not know who Mr. Poyser alludes to, but he is aiming a blow at some of you.") In addition to this there was zC124 paid to persons whom the committee did not consider to be destitute, and who, therefore ought not to have been placed on the books. They had also found ten cases in which the relief granted was decidedly illegal, being at the rate of E5 per week, or 10s. to each family. He believed that this occurred through haste or ignorance on the part of the relieving officers, and some of them had been discontinued. Indeed, as the report did not extend but to Lady Day last, many of the cases mentioned by him might have subsequently been struck off the books—some of them, he knew, were so. For instance, the toll-bar keeper at Beraham, which was dis- continued on the 20th of August last. Mr. Poyser con- eluded by saying that he had no selfish motive in bringing forward this motion, but he did it on public grounds alone. Mr. Pickering seconded the motion. The Chairman then asked the guardians if they had anything to say in reply to Mr. Poyser, but no one seeming disposed to speak, he said that he intended to make a few remarks, but had waited in order to give them a chance, so that it should not be said he had influenced them in their opinion. He must say if Mr. Poyser's report were true there could not be two questions but. that the guardians bad been very lavish with the public money. Out of all the cases which Mr. Poyser had read, only one had been pro- perly put before them, and that was the case at Ruabon, in which a boy was said to earn 10s. Gd. per week. Now, it was not even stated in that case how old the boy was, and he might be a youth of 17 or 18 who assisted to keep his father and mother. But without fuller information it was impossible for them to ground any motion on the report, as applications had not been read, nor were the grounds upon which the Board granted relief known. For himself he had never known the Board to be particularly generous; and, as they all kuew very well, every case was tairly ex- amined before relief was granted. Mr. Poyser had com pared the years 1841 and 1857. Well, he would follow him through those yea, s. Iu 1841 the expenditure waa £ 8,44S, and in 1857 it amounted to above £ 11,700; therefore he (Mr. Poyser) concluded that there had been a bona-fide increase in the pay to the poor of about £ 3,000, some of it too, being illegally given. This certainly sounded well until the facts were more closely examined into. The population of the Union had increased since 1841 some 6,000, that is, it amounted then to 34,223, whilst at the present time it is £ 40,078. Now, although, nominally the expenditure of the Union is put down at £ 11,772, yet really, only X-8,126 was thus expended, viz, £1,721 for in-door maintenance, and E, 6,40,5 for out- relief. The number of in-door paupers for 1855 was 327 and 2,427 out-door. Now in 1841, the cost of each rannara aripvTOI't 9j 1 if] whilst ilf 1855 it WAS 3s. 3d. 1"t' 1" -}, Taking this into consideration with the increased popula- tion, was there not then some cause why the cost would be greater ? But this was not all. They formerly kept their lunatic paupers for 2s. ld. per week now, a law compelled them to send them to the asylum, where they had to pay from 9s. 7d. to lis. per week. Last year they had to pay under this head X714, whereas in 1841 he could no find that anything at all was paid. The vaccination expenses too had greaely augmented. In 1841 they were L25, whilst in 1856, they amounted to P106. The expenses of the establishment too was £ 1,905. It was all very fine for 1r. Poyser to talk about their expending Cll,000 but the fact was, they had nothing to do with more than a little over zCG,000 as the others were fixed charges over which they had nothing to do but to sign checks, and which they were compelled by law to expend. The Chairman then went into elaborate details, in order to show that the poor were not over paid, and that, taking the numbers receiv- ing relief with the amount of money expended, they did not cost above 2s. 2id. each, upon which sum, he be- lieved, very few would grow fat. They had been charged with granting relief too lavishly and without giving proper consideration to the cases, and above all things of not offering the house to as many as they ought. Well, he happened to bo in a position to prove that, tak- ing the population into account, the Wrexham Union spent less money than any other Union in .North Wbles, and also, that as compared with Holywell (a Union with a similar population) they actually spent k700 a- year tor indoor maintenance moretthan they did.

INCEXDIARY FIRE AT BERSIIAM,—-We are sorry to have to record this week in our columns one of those disastrous and fiendish occurrences which happily are not very frequent in this district, nor indeed in any part of North Wales, viz-an incendiary fire. A week or so ago, Mr. Edisbury, auctioneer, stacked 90 thrave of very excellent wheat, in tirst-rate condition, in a field not far from his house at Bersham, On Monday morning last, his sister, Mrs. Baugh, who was attending to a sick child discovered from the window of her room that the stack was on fire. This was at about 20 minutes past 4 o'clock. An alarm was instantly given, and on Mr. Edisbury going to the stack he found that it was burning in three distinct places. The fire engines were imme- diately sent for, and arrived on the spot shortly after five o'clock. The firemen worked most energetically to ex- tinguish the fire but to very little purpose as might have been expected. In these efforts they were greatly assis- ted by the superintendent of police, Mr. Bradshaw, and Inspector Lamb, who came there in a very short time after the alarm was given. The greater portion of the stack was consumed; and what little of it was saved was so charred and scorched as to be of little or no use whatever. The stack contained between 140 and 150 measures of wheat, which has been entirely lost to the country by means of some malicious miscreant. We are happy to say that Mr. Edisbury was insured to the full amount in the Provincial Welsh Insurance Office a cheque being given for the money on the day following. Mr. DiHon, the respected secretary of the society, hav- ing gone down to Bersham in company with another person on the same day h ?(nr happened, in order to aisess the damages. Much credit is due to the offi- cers of the company for their prompt attention; and we hope this will be a warning to those farmers who have not already insured their stock not to delay any longer, as by neglecting to insure, they run the risk of losing all their property, either by accident or the acts of prowling vagabonds, whom they might unintentionally have offended. By an advertisement, it will be seen that a reward of £ 20 has been offered for the discovery of the offender or offenders, and we hope it will be successful in bringing them to justice. We are informed that Mr. Edisbury was insured through the agency of Mr. John Clark, Hope-street. THE CHARTER OF INCORPORATION".—We understand that the Wrexham ( Burgess List is to be published in a few days, and will contain about 600 voters. Owing to the gratuitous services of the solicitors of the town in this matter, the cost of obtaining the Charter will be under X300, scarcely half the sum, which was originally calculated upon. So far, therefore, Mr. Roberts's "blister" has proved com- paratively inocuous. It will soon be the duty of the bur- gesses to elect town councillors to represent them in our local Parliament, and we would caution them to exercise sound discretion in their choice, and to vote for none who are not friends of economic expenditure, and adverse to the creation of unnecessary and expensive offices. Men of sense and worth are preferable to the mere stereotyped po- liticans of either party. BALL AT THE WYNXSTAY ARMS HOTEL, WREXHAM.— We are given to understand that a grand ball of the no- bility and gentry of the neighbourhood will take place at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham, on Wednesday, the 7th of October next. It will be under very distinguished patronage, and no doubt will be well attended. Parti- culars will be duly announced. SUNDAY SCHOOL DEMONSTRATION.—On Monday last, the small village of Lodge, near Chirk, was the scene of much enjoyment by reason of the assembling of 400 scholars and 100 teachers and friends belonging to seven different chapels in the neighbourhood. Each scholar walked in procession from the respective places of wor- ship to the bottom end of the village, where they were met by about 300 scholars and about 100 teachers and friends from the Old Chapel, Oswestry, making the total number about 900. The whole walked in procession to the mansion of Thomas Barnes, Esq., of the Quinta, where, on their arrival, they formed in a semi-circle, under the able superintendence of Thomas Minshall, Esq., of Oswestry, and sang one or two of those popular hymns so well known in all Sunday Schools. After giving three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, and three cheers for Master James Barnes (who were all present), the Lodge and neighbouring schools walked to a field kindly lent by Mr. D. Evans, of the Lodge, in which was a large tent, where the children and friends, to the number of 500, partook of plum cake and tea; after which they amused themselves with various games until s ix o'clock. They were then brought together again, when Mr. Bott, of Wrexham, delivered a short and in- teresting address, after which they sang another hymn on the tune Home, sweet home," when the children in a most orderly manner left the field. The children and friends from Oswestry spent the afternoon in the park of T. Barnes, Esq., and a little after six o'clock as- sembled in front of the mansion, where they again sang a hymn and gave three more cheers for Mr. Barnes, for his kindness in welcoming them to his grounds on that day. Mr. Barnes expressed his satisfaction of their eon- duct during the day, and stated that he should be most happy to see them there again another time. They then quietly returned to the Lodge, where vehicles were pro- vided for their return to Oswestry, and with light hearts and happy faces, and waving their flags and banners, they passed through the village on their way homewards. At seven o'clock, a public meeting was held in the tent, which was filled to overflowing with a most respectable audience. The Itev. D. Roberts, of the Lodge, was called to preside, who, after singing and prayer, in a neat and appropriate speech, gave an account of the beneficial results of Sabbath School instruction in the principality. He then called upon Mr. D. Evans, Cal- vinistic Methodist; Mr. Humphreys, Association Me- thodist; Mr. Bott, Wesleyan Reformer; Mr. Newman, Primitive Methodist; Mr. Blakemore, Wesleyan Me- thodist and Mr. G. C. Davies, Independent; who, in earnest and suitable addresses, set forth the importance and necessity of united efforts in training the youthful mind in the truths of the Bible. At nine o'clock this very interesting meeting was brought to a close with prayer by Mr. Porter, of the Quinta; and Mr. D. Evans proposing, aud Mr. Roberts seconding a resolution, which was carried unanimously That a Sunday School Union be established for that neighbourhood, and that the anniversary be celebrated in a manner similar to the meeting of that day." Thus ended one of the most in- teresting and happy days the inhabitants of Lodge ever saw, and of which the friends of Sunday Schools have just cause to be proud.—Communicated. CEFN-MAWR. CHRISTIAN- UNION OPEN AIR MEETINGS.—Last Sunday, being the day, fixed to hold the meetings on Cae Coch, between Cefn.mawr and Rhosymedre, was looked for- ward to for several days previously with anxiety, owing to the weather being wet and unsettled. We did not, however, realize our fears, Saturday for- tunately being fine and Sunday was exceedingly so, the gentle breeze alleviated the powerful rays of the sun. We ascended the hill, at half-past 8 a.m. it was all quiet, not a voice or sound of any kind was heard until we were at once enchanted by the harmonious sounds from the vales below, the different congregations on both sides having formed themselves into procession and sung along the way to the field. Being thus surrounded by voices of praise, we were ready to exclaim, How dreadful is this place this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." The different processions soon arrived and arranged themselves promiscuously by the stands, the only distinction being that the Welsh and English parties congregated together separately. The two stands were at a proper distance from each other. iNIr. TTarrisnn nrfsiilpfl nvpr thA and Mr r- .w "J "a. J. Adams over the English; the singing was conducted at the former by Mr. Azariah Prichard, and the latter by Mr. P. Edwards. We are given to understand that 14 or 16 entire con- gregations atteuded, besides several others from a dis- tance, and also some members of the Established Church. Several public houses also were closed, and the inmates, with several others not in the habit of attending were seen among the crowd. The numbers on the field, in the afternoon were var- iously estimated from 10,000 to 12,000 but notwith- standing all this their behaviour was excellent through- out, and with the exception of a few children we never noticed more attention paid to the sermons even in a church or chapel. The sermons being short, plain, poin- ted and warmly delivered, we fully hope will have a good effect. The Welsh services were as follows in the morning prayer, &c. by Mr. Roberts, Cefn Bychan; sermons, by Messrs. Roberts, Lodge, from Matthew iii. 7. Jones Llan- gollen, from Luke ix. 59. and Edmund Evans, from Matt. v. 3, concluding prayer by Mr. Hughes, Garth. In the afternoon.—Prayer by Mr. E. Evans, sermons by Messrs. Hughes, Garth, from Romans xii. 1. Evans, Rhos, from o 1\1 atthew xix. 25 26; Roberts, Lodge, from 1 Cor. xiv 2325; concluding prayer, by Mr. E. Evans, Rhos. The English services were as follows :—In the morn- ing prayer by Mr. Morgan, Wrexham, sermons, by Mr. Prosser, John iii. 14; Mr. Morgan, 1 John i. 9; iNi r. Evans, Chirk, Luke xv. 17; concluding prayer by the president. In the afternoon, prayer by Mr. Prosser, ser- mons, by Mr. Roberts, Cetn-bychan, from Ezec. xxxiii. It Mr. Doughty, Romans v. 1; Mr. Pilter, Provo iii. 17; concluding prayer by Mr. Richard Williams. A deputation having been appointed to wait upon the Rev. J. D. Edwards, incumbent of Rhosymedre, reques- ting his aid and co-operation in furtherance of the object in view; the following reply was forwarded by the Rev. gentleman to the deputation. As this reply is so charac- teristic of the liberal feelings ot the evangelical sexton of the establishment towards their brother christians who dissent from the church, that we feel we should be not only doing an injustice to the rev. gentleman himself, but to the church, to which he belongs, by withholding it from publicity Sir,—I feel it to be a compliment and a kindness on I --? the part ot those who have promoted the meeting on next Sunday to invite me to take part in it. As far as it is known to me I heartily concur in the object of that meeting; and although I cannot attend on Sunday, yet in the event of such meetings being repeated, I see no reason why I may not on a future occasion indulge in the privilege of joining my fellow christians in this dis- trict in tne earnest effort to bring within the fold of Christi- anity those who are now beyond our reach. In such an object I strongly feel that churchmen and all denomina. tions of dissenters have a common field for union and co- operation; and that in addition to the immediate result, I trust that such working together would still furtherpromote the friendly spirit which at present I am truly happy to believe prevails amongst us in this district. 1 am, dear sir, yours truly, J. D. EDWARDS. OSWESTRY. THE ORGAN.—The alterations about to be made in re- spect of the organ are, it would seem from our correspond- ent's letter, just commenced. On Sunday, he states, a platform was erected near to the front for the singers, but the distance from the congregation was so great that they conld scarcely be heard much less seen. He inveigha strongly against the organ being placed near to the chancel, and suggests Mr. Donne's gallery as the more befitting site in every respect, which, at present, is almost exclu- sively occupied by the Grammar School Children. It is rumoured, he adds, that the committee are short of funds and advises the to wnspeople not to contribute a farthing more unless a better site be decided upon. It is calculated that the organ will be refitted up in about six weeks time, but not unless the work be more expeditiously proceeded with than at present. We agree with our cor- respondent so far as relates to the chancel as a fitting place for the organ, for it is too great a distance from the pewed portion of the church, and will be quite out of the sight of a large part of the congregation. LEcTunE.-On Monday evening last, the Hev. J. Phillilis, of Bangor, delivered an interesting lecture on China," in Zion Chapel, in this town, to a respectable audience, and at the conclusion trnsted that the events which were now taking place in that vast empire would re- of the world 3"0' of Christ's kingdom in that quarter of the world. ELLESMERE. j TEMPTED HIGHWAY HOBBERy.-A few evening ago as a commercial gentleman, of the name of Simmonds from Birmingbam, T driving along the road leading fromJ WWeem m ?tno iFilll|esmere, when near OtDKr^-i- k was stopped b, three Ml.„, „„ doubt) would have plundered him  *"SS* quantity of cash, ,vMcll ie h,a lb„„, mIta m and might have otherwise maltreated him had not Unely arrived at the spot at this j'mc- ture, wh^h CaUSf u vagabonds to beat a hasty retreat.

I LLANGEDW1N HORTICULTURAL SHOW. I LLANGEDWI HORrIC.LTURL. ='a ?f I This show, which is under tne especial Lady WynD, took place in the beautiful grounds of Llau- gedwin Hall, on Thursday last. It was instituted some three years ago by this benevolent lady, iu order to im- prove by competition the garden productions of the cot- tagers in that part of Denbighshire, in which Sir Watkm has a good deal of property. Every year the show of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, has been improving, the cottagers exerting themselves to the very utmost to get their names enrolled in the list of winners. Although the show is held at Llangedwin, the prizes are not confined exclusively to that parish, but they are open to the parishes of Llansilin and Llaurhaiadr-vn-Mochnant as well. In addition to the mere show, Sir Watkin makes the oc- casion one for the display of those kindly feelings towards his friends and countrymen which has rendered his name so famous in the Principality. His beautiful mansion is almost made an "open house and on this occasion an immense number of invitations had been forwarded to all parts of the district-the town of Oswestry being particu- larly favoured in this respect. Fortunately, the day was a fine one, and early in the forenoon gaily dressed persons were seen wending their way to the Hall" from every point of the compass. Perhaps in no part of Wales is there more beautiful scenery of a certain character than about Llangedwin, and it is so acknowledged by tourists. The mansion is built immediately behind a hill covered with wood, having the valley of the Tanatt in front of it and the gardens, which are much admired, were thrown open to the multitude of visitors which thronged there during the greater portion of the day. After the prizes had been awarded (the detailed particulars of which we shall give in our next), the visitors who had received invitations retired to the Hall, where a most sumptuous entertainment was provided for them, with wines, &c. Sir Watkin and Lady Wynn were most kind and affable to all their guests, and won golden opinions for their kindness and condescension. In the meantime the humbler class of visitors were treated to a plentiful supply of roast beef and cwrw da, s:) that out of the immense multitude which assembled at the show, not one went away without partaking of Sir Watkin's princely cheer. The company included most of the nobility and gentry of the country for many miles around, including the Countess of Powis and Lady Dungannon and visitors of all ranks were there in great numbers from Oswestry, Welsh- pool, Meivod, Llansilin, Llansantffraid, Llanrhaiadr, Llan- fyllin, &c., &c. The celebrated band of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry Cavalry (of which Sir Watkin, we'believe, is the Colonel) was in attendance, and played a great number of pieces during the day. The children of the various schools of the district were treated to a bountiful tea on the lawn, on which they afterwards disported themselves like so many butterflies. In short the fete was one of almost unexampled splendour and munificence, and will long be remembered by those who had the good fortune to be present. The following ladies and gentlemen were amongst the visitors: -C oun tess of Powis,the Ladies Herbert, Lady Dun. gannon, Miss Irvin, Mrs. Main waring, Oteley Park Mrs. and Miss Kenyon, Pradoe; Mrs. William Kenyon; Mr. and Alrs. Rowland Venables, Oakhurst; Capt. Buckley Rev. John Parker; Mr. Lovett, Belmont, aud the Misses Lovett; Honble Mrs. Lovett, and the Misses Lovett, Fernhill; Mrs. Kinchant, Park Mrs. Stephen Donne and family; Mrs. James Jones, Brynhafod; Mr. Williams, Llorun House and family; Mr. and Mrs. Wright, Hals- ton; Rev. W., Mrs., and Miss Williams, Llanrhaiadr; Rev, P. G. and Mrs. Bentley, of Felton Grange; Miss Stubbs, Brookside, Chirk; Rev. J. Phillips, Tvnyrhos; Rev. Heaton and Mrs. Heatou; the Misses Roberts, Bellan House; Mrs. and Miss Gill, Brynygwalia; Rev. R. M. and Mrs. Bonnor and family, Ruabon the Misses Corrie, &c., &c.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BIRMINGHAM MARKET.—Sept. 10. i There Wa3 a pood supply ot wheat, and the trade openeo at au advance of 2s to 3* per qr., but closed dull, at only Is to 2s over last week's rates.

I L I Prices firm for English wheat, with a iair ousiness, aoa not much offering; several transactions in foreign, and cnr- rency stiff. Flour fully as dear, but trade good. Prime oats brought full value, but common rather lower. Barley quiet, at about previous terms. Beans and peas fully as hizh. Malt firm. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET—Sept. 11. I At our market this day the demand for wheat was less active, but prices closed fully as high as on Tuesday. New Irish wheat brought 8s lOd to 9s 6d per 701bs. for white, and 8s 4d to 8s 9d for red. Old oats were scarce and rather dearer; new supported former rates. Barley, beans, and peas were held firmly. There was less inquiry for In- dian eorn, and buyers might have supplied themselves on rather easier terms. There was no alteration in old or new oatmeal. The flour trade was ifrm, and iiue qualiiies iu very small compass.

GENERAL HAVELOCK.—It may not be generally known that this gallant officer, whose name has become one of the most familiar to British ears among the most splen- did instances of courage and devotion which are now signalising our arms in the East, is a native of the banks of the Wearf and a member of a Sunderland family. His father, William Havelock, Esq., was a well known ship- owner and coalfitter, residing at Ford Hall, where the family, since so distinguished as soldiers, were born. Another brother, Colonel William Havelock, well known in all the Peninsular and Oriental campaigns as one of the most dashing cavalry officers in the service, fell at the head ofthe 14 th Light Dragoons in one of the bloody engagements of the Sutlej. The present representative and subject of our notice, after passing through a long and distinguished apprenticeship to arms in the great conflicts of North-Western India, especially in the cam- paigns of Sir Charles Napier, holds at present the post of adjutant-general of the Bengal Presidency, a rank likely to be changed, if Providence reserve him for the com- pletion of the great work which he has so energetically begun, for the highest the service can afford.-Sunder- land Herald. THE DIVORCE BILL AND THE PAROCHIAL SYSTEM.— Referring to the "qualified concession" in the Divorce Bill, the Liberator says :—" The clergy were dissatisfied with King Log, and now they have got King Stork. We wonder not at their anger, for the principle involved is of immense importance. The proviso is a recognition of the fact, that the churches are the property, not of the clergy who minister in them, but of the people. It is the first step towards breaking down the system which establishes in the person of a State-clergyman a petty kingship in his own parish. We are glad that the clause unfortunately inserted in the new Dissenters' Marriage Act, which enables the clergy to close their churches against those who have given notice at the office of the Registrar, has not been treated as a precedent. We think, too, that the discussion of the relationship in which the clergy stand to the State will be to the Liber- ation party highly advantageous." LocusTs IN ENGLAND.—Most of the provincial papers which have come to hand this week notice the finding of locusts in their immediate neighbourhoods. On Tuesday one was found in a corn field at Burton Pidsea. It is a very fine specimen, its legs being three inches in length, its body three inches, wings two inches and three quar- ters, and when it is stretched its full length it measures about it measures about five inches and a half across. A recent work states that the Gryllus Migratorm of Linnaeus is a large species of locust, which multiplies to such a degree as to be the theme of ancient writers, and the works of recent authors confirm the statements. Barrow mentions that in the southern parts of Africa an area of nearly two thousand square miles might be said, on one occasion, to have been literally covered with them. When driven by a north-west wind into the sea, they formed upon the shore for fifty miles, a bank three or tour feet high; and when the wind was south-east, the stench was so great as to be felt one hundred and fifty miles distant. In some parts of Africa the insect is eaten by the natives. It is common in Poland, and though it is stated that a great portion of Europe is often overrun by them, it is seldom we hear of any caught in this part of the globe. The other day, however, one was found in Ireland, another in Elgin, Scotland, three in London, and one in a house in Halifax. THRILLING INCIDENT AT THE STRID."—A few days since parties from Leeds and Rochdale visited Bolton Abbey and neighbourhood. One of the Leeds gentlemen, despite the entreaties of his wife and friends, resolved to overleap the famous strid. He jumped and reached the opposite rock, but lost his balance and fell headlong into the foaming abyss. The shrieks of his wife and friends were heartrending in the extreme, and for a lew moments not one stirred. At length the Rev. John Mather, of Rochdale, started off down the stream some thirty yards, jumped to the other side, chose a favourable position, and there waited till the missing gentleman reached the spot, when he seized and held him till additional assist- ance arrived, when the exhausted man was dragged out, and soon partially recovered. We believe that this is the first instance of a person who had fallen into the Strid being saved.Leeds Mercury. FEARFUL COLLISION AT SEA.—Amongst the numerous casualties reported at Lloyd's on Saturday, there were no fewer than four ships reported to have been run down off the coast. In two instances it is feared a melancholy loss of life took place. A fine schooner called the Truth, belonging to Goole, came into collision with a screw steamer, on the morning of the 3rd inst., off Cromer. The schooner filled and went down in deep water, the master and the whole of the crew, w ith the exception of one, perishing. Off the same coast another ship was run down, and the crew have not been heard of. Another threemasted vessel is reported as sunk in about seven or eight fathoms of water, a few miles from Hasbro', on the Norfolk coast, and that a number of boatmen have gone off to the wreck. The third vessel lost by collision was the Helena, of Dundee, laden with flax, bound to Dun- kirk, from Archangel. On Thursday morning, whilst keeping her course along the coast, was run into by the barque Flavio, from Cork, and immediately sunk. The crew were saved. The Isabella and William of London, for Amsterdam, was run down by a light brig off the Doggerbank. The crew escaped in the boats. Up to Saturday the name of the barque run down with all hands by the American ship Western Star, off Scilly, had not been ascertained. ENTEKPRISING LADIES.-The Nottingham Review ob- serves that Melton Mowbray can boast of three public characters which perhaps no other town can—namely, two independent ladies- who have taken out game certi- ficates, and who enter the field and can bring down the game equal to any male sportsman, as well as those in- dulging in fishing, hunting over a country to hounds, &c, The other ia a female blacksmith, who is such an adept at shoeing a horse or working at the anvil, as to cause universal excitement. SIEGE TRAINS A.ND A LARGE ADDITIONAL FOKCE FOR INDIA.—Considerable excitement prevailed in Woolwich garrison on Sunday, in consequence of a general regi- mental order received from the Adjutant-General's office, directing an additional artillery force to prepare for im- mediate embarkation to India, under the command of three field officers. The artillery force previously ordered for India amounted to 1,550 gunners, exclusive of officers and non-commissioned officers, and of this force 650 officers, gunners, &c., are now at Woolwich, ready for embarkation. The force under orders on Sunday amounts to 1,350 gunners, drivers, and artificers, exclu- sive of officers and non-commissioned officers, and com- prises the following nine troops, batteries and companies, which are to be fitted out and equipped with every materiel requisite for a siege train, with the guns used on this service during the Crimean campaign, in which a large proportion of the force was actively engaged, viz.. The D Troop, commanded by Major Gardiner; V Field Battery, 1st company, 6th bat., by Major Singleton; I Field Battery, 1st company, 3rd bat., by Captain Dyne- ley No. 1 Pield Batteiy, 5th company, 1st bat., by Captain Disburough; the 8th company, 2nd bat., by Captain Thring; 6th company, 9th bat., by Captain Wright; 2ud company, 11th bat., by Captain liaily; 7th company, 11th bat., by Maior Grant; aud 6th company, 11th bat., Lieutenant-Colonel Foitescue. The following companies of Royal Engineers have also been placed Hnder oidcrs for embarkation to India; 4th, Captain Moody; 11th, Captain Mann; 21st, Captain Nugent. These companies are now in Aldershott, and will be re- lieved by the 27th and 28th companies. ANOTHER LEEDS FOKTUNE TELLER IN TROUBLE.—On Monday, at the Leeds Court House, a dirty and disagree- able looking individual, named John Butter, was placed in the dock, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. On Saturday afternoon, Butler went into the High-street Tavern, High-street, and intimating by signs that he was unfortunate enough to be both deaf and dumb, called through the same medium tor a glass of ale. Mrs. Easby, the wife of the landlord, supplied him with the liquor, for which he paid a penny. He shortly called for a tray, upon which he wrote tuat hit was a foitunc teller, and could tell Mrs. Easby some startling particulars respecting the past and future his- tory of both her and her husband. He then proceeded to write with chalk upon the tray, and Mrs. Easby was t tt,- n. thp. .1 _v.a. MW VI V—w — > GllU requested his assistance. Butler promised to give both her and her husband prosperity and happiness if she would give him a sovereign. The woman had not the money to spare, but she consented to pay it him iu four payments of 5s. each, if he would take it by such instal- ments. Butler condescendingly agreed to the proposi- tion, and received os. on account; and also the sum of 3s. lrom another woman who had entered the house in the meantime, and was similarly desirous of anticipating the secrets of futurity. Butler pocketed the 8s., and was about to leave the house, when a third woman, who had a spark of common sense left, suggested that a policeman might be called in, as he might be able to restore both Butler's speech and hearing. The believers in the deaf and dumb fortune teller were indignant; but the other people in the tap-room were pertinacious, and a consta- bie who happened to be passing down High-street at the time was summoned. Butler was taken into custody; but as he was being marched off be exclaimed, sotte voce, -1 Well, d-n it, I have made a three months' job for myself this time." The term of punishment for vagrancy was evidently familiar to the prisoner, and in this case he turned out a true prophet, for the magistrates remit- ted him to Armley Gaol for the period of time he had in- dicated, and also directed that his seclusion from public life should be attended by the humiliating accompaniment of hard labour."

ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, who may be Consulted personally EVERY THURSDAY, AT MRS. BAYLEY'S, CONFECTIONER, &C., HOPE-ST., WREXHAM. Its is the construction of au entirely new description of ARTIFICAL TEETH. beautifully Enanimelled, and ot the mos: equisite Workmanship, from Part of a Tooth to a Com. plete Set, and composed af the finest materials which are afterwards Enammelled to resemble the Naturdl Teeth, iu every Shade and Colour. They are incorrodible, (will never change Colour or Decay) and when adapted to the mouth are not discernable from the Natural Teeth. They are con. structed upon a Method of unexceptionable purity. Mr. ESKELL supplies ARTIFICIAL TEETH, on his new system Of SELF ADHESION without extracting any Teeth or Stumps, or causing the least paiu. Mr. hSKELL hu Specimens in every variety, and will be happy to show them to those interested in the subject when their pre-emin. ence will be at once apparent, and this statement of their superiority over all others will be found to be entirely and scrupulously correct. CHARGES STRICTLY MODERATE, And within the reach of the most Economical.

PAINLESS TOOTH EXTRACTION (WITHOUT CHLOROFORM) 13Y ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. The following are some of the most eminent inedjcil men to whoa tb.

HER MAJESTY HAS GRANTED ROYAL LETTERS PATENT TO MR. ESKELL ONLY, SURGEON DENTIST, o? Itt 75, RODNEY-STREET, LIVERPOOL FOR AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN DENTAL SURGERY, A perfect White Peruvian Enamel for Stopping Decayed Teeth, and Preventing their further Decay. The PERUVIAN ENAMEL entirely supersedes the pernicious and offensive ingredients hitherto used, such as Mercury, Silver Filings, Zinc, Gutta Percha, !fc., fe. THE GOLD USED BY DEXTISTS. The Public and the Medical Profession generally, are not aware of a very fruitful source of disease which arises from the introduction into the mouths of many persons, of metallic plates and other apparatus for the securing of artificial teeth. These plates, &c., are nom- inally constructed of gold; but in point of fact, in in- numerable instances, there is little or no gold used in the construction of them; silver gilt, or some other still baser metal is employed, which, being acted upon by the acids of the stomach, produces a poison which insidiously undermines the health, causing cancer and other diseases. The false delicacy of the sufferer, and his ignorance of what causes his complaint, prevent him from receiving such advice as would meet his case. Alit. FSKELL, SURGEON, AND MECHANICAL DENTIST, 75, Rodney-Street, Liverpool, Begs to call the attention of the Medical Profession and the Public to the above paragraph. Mr. E. can cor- roborate the statement, from the number of patients he has had suffering from the use of impure metal supplied to them. It is impossible to estimate the amount of evil arising from this practice, which cannot be too se- verely censured. Mr. ESKELL has, therefore, after many years' inde- fatigable assiduity and close application to the Me- chanical branch of the profession, succeeded in adapting an entirely NEW METHOD of constructing ARTIFICIAL TEETH UPON GOLD OF UNEXCEPTIONABLE PURITY, Which is so Unerring as to secure an adaptation to the Mouth quite Unattainable by the ordinary plan. The Teeth used being of every shade and colour, so as to Match those remaining in the mouth, render them Un. detectable and as they never wearout or change colour, beauty of appearance and durability are combined. In order that Mr. ESKELL'S New Invention may ot within the reach of the most economical, he has fixed hit charges at the lowest scale possible, that the proper exer- cise of professional skill, and the employment of none but the very best materials and first-rate workmanship will admit of. Attendance every Thursday—MRS. BAYLEY, Confec- tioneer, Wrexham.
