THE AVAR. Dr.cr.ARATION of War." 120,000 Austrians crossed the Ticino," Entry of the French S J.. "}) 1 E t into Sar d inia," lfumouved Engagement, are the startling intimations which now meet the eye in the columns of our daily journals. All this going on too, and England for once perform- ing the part of a looker on While we cannot but congratulate our countrymen upon the common sense conclusion that everywhere appears to prevail, that it is our duty and interest to stand aloof, we can scarcel y credit that such is really our position, prone as we are to meddle in every European squabble that takes place. Fervently do we pray that we may end as we have begun, and whatever aspect the quarrel may assume, for the people,— whatever may be their sentiments in the matter—will find that our statesmen notwith- standing their present pacific declarations, will not be long before they discover some irresistible diplomatic pretext for plunging into the contest. One of our daily contem- poraries has the following on this subject:— '• The peace of Europe disappears. Universal apprehension and terror prevail. The last hopes of international amity expire. The f(:elin'J' of  no louzel' exists, and we feeling of secur i ty no longer ex i s t s, an d we must now record the progress of a strife which may rage with un mrpassable fury But let us understand how it is. Let tliosc, of us who live in England, and who are sheltered and removed from the scenes of carnage, and who have a free and constitutional Government- let us have a just apprehension of the great and prevailing cause of those untold calamities that may be hanging over the Continent. The cause is despotism—we cannot too often repeat it. There are three Emperors quarrelling about the partition of Europe. They have not consulted the people of the countries which they govern. They plot and decide among themselves, and tell the public nothing. There are tixed, and settled, and planned schemes and purposes which the tyrants of Europe reveal only to monstrous-minded confederates, who are ready to put them into execution. Media- tion seems to become a comed y in the face of what may previously have been resolved upon, and ollieial journals and diplomatic papers contain only that which is designed to conceal real intentions. Here are a few Imperial masters, with their favourite Ministers and diplomatic agents at their elbows, undertaking the solo and exclusi ve management of the affairs of the nations they represent— quarrel- ling among themselves as to who is to be the mightiest and most aggressive—claiming the right to make war at their own will and pleasure—having enormous standing armies, and all the revenues and resources of their States at their disposal; here they are, we say, exercising irresponsible control and weilding unquestioned authority, while the one hundred and fifty millions of people who may be their subjects or their victims have no voice at all in their own Government, have no free press in which they can express their convictions, and no free legislature by which they can protect their own interests. And it is all the more lamentable to know that no sooner are the designs of despotic rulers ready to be carried into effect, than away goes the last rag of constitutional Government that existed in those regions over which these potentates hold sway, for Count Cavour—we beg pardon, Xing Victor Emmanuel is clothed with potential authority, and proclaimed dictator. Conspiracy and bloodshed appear to be incom- patible with free institutions. When war breaks out, the fair form of Liberty must retire. With resplendent features, and a comely form, and a graceful attitude, it would ill become her to put on the garments that are stained with blood. And so the world beholds the spectacle of a little constitutional country, once the hope of Italy, now its plague, aban- doning all its constitutionalism at a moment's notice, and bestowing upon an ambitious Minister all the legislative and executive power of the State. That country by a process of infatuation almost unparalleled, allows itself to become the slave of its Jung Bahadoor, and the Count allows himself to become the tool of the ruling potentates, and so the statue of Liberty set up in Turin is forthwith broken into a thousand pioees, and the fragments are left to swim or sink in the pools of human gore that may this week be seen in the outskirts of that beautiful city."

bolioLUli UUUlt'f.- -I MONDAY, APRIL 25th, 1859.—Before T. T. Griffith, E?q., and Capr. M'Coy. DRUNKENNESS.—Michael Cuddy, lodging house keep- er, was fined 5s. and 3s. 6d. costs, for being drunk and disorderly in York street, about one o'clock on Sunday morning. The only other cRse was Thomas Hanmcr against William J oneq, but the comphinant did not appear. TUEDA.Y.- Before T. T. Griffith, Esq. llichard Cross and Catherine WillianB (prostitute) wt rc brought up this morning charged with sleeping in a privy in York-street, where they were found ab-ut 1 o'clock by P.C. -li'A',ILn. Cross was cemniitted for a mOLth with hard labour, and Catherine three weeks of the same discipline.

EASTER VESTRY. The usual Easter vestry was held in tne pansu ULLULU- no Monday last, the vicar in the chair. In opening the bosiness, he observed that they had met according to custom to hold the Easter vestry for the purpose of au- diting the accounts, the appointing of cliurchwqrdens, and the transaction of anv other parish business which might be deemed necessary. With regard to the ap- pointment of churchwardens he had very great pleasure in proposing that Mr. Floater be re-elected vicar s war- den for the ensuing year. He was induced to do so in- asmuch as Mr. Floater had performed the duties of the officc during-the past year in so creditable a manner. The whole of Lis conduct in office had been marked by great impartiality, lifiuiency, ifrmness, and forbearance, and he thought it would be for the benefit of the parish- ioners at large that he should be again appointed, as he had kindly undertaken to hold the office a second year. He trusted that his duties would not be of so arduous a character as they had been during the former year, see. ing that the law with regard to church rates was about to be altered, although it was not for him to divine what the nature of the change would be. With these remarks he had the greatest pleasure in proposing that Mr. Floa- ter be vicar's warden for the ensuing year. After this had been recorded, the chairman asked whether there were any of the other churchwardens present, but there were not. Mr. Lewis asked whether it was necessary under the new arrangements which had taken place during the last few years in the parish, still to appoint four wardens, Miners, Brymbo, and part of Stansty had been taken from us. Not less than two or more than four was the law, and now that they had so much less ground to oc- cupy, he thought they might do with less than four. The chairman observed that if the alterations proposed in the government bill were carried out it would be very desirable that the clergymen should have the assistance of the four wardens. Mr. Lewis agreed that it would be as well for the present. The chairman then asked'if any one present had any- body to propose as warden ? A considerable pause took place, when Mr. Lewis said he begged to propose Mr. Mortimer Mauiice. He was a resident in the parish and had no conscientious objec- tions to church rates. This was seconded by the Rev. W. Davies. The chairman having alluded to the dispute which took place about a pew in which Mr Floater, as churchwarden, had placed Mr. Maurice, Mr Lewis observed that it had been a verification of the old adage that out of evil cometh good," and they might congratulate themselves on having brought an old freeholder to church not only on Sunday but on feast days. He believed they had been in church oftener duiing the last three months than ever they had been before. The Rev. Jas. Dixon next proposed Mr. Evan Davies, of Bersham Hall. as churchwarden. This was second- ed by Mr. 0. O. Williams. Mr. John Wyke, accountant, was next appointed churchwarden on the motion of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Smith. Mr. Price Vaughan wished to know what progress had been made with the improvement of the churchyard and what the state of the funds were? He believed it was decided upon at the Easter vestry twelve months ago. The chairman said he did not think that it was con- nected with the vestry in any way. Mr. Lewis said there was no order from the vestry- all that was done was to ask the chairman to waive his right as vicar. Mr. Lovatt said he had been speaking to Mr. Bury on the point, who informed him that they were going to pick the stones and sow grass seed immediately. Captain M'Coy asked whether anything had been done with Mr. Rowe's bill ? Mr. Floater replied there had not. The chairman said it was very inconvenient not to have the matter arranged. There would be a visitation soon when no doubt the terrier would be called for. The chairman then drew the attention of the vestry, and commented in very severe terms upon the conduct of Mr. Lowe, formerly of the Spring Lodge, who had obtained the keys of the church under pretext of getting his hooks out of his pew, and while in church be com- pletely stripped a pew in the gallery-formerly belong- ing to Mr. Urford, Mrs. Lowe's late husband-of its lining. A conversation ensued which terminated by Mr. Lovatt proposing and Captain M'Coy seconding, that the churchwardens be instructed to proceed against Mr. Lowe in any way they may be advised. On the motion of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Captain M'Coy, the church cleaner's salary was raised from £ 3 to X5 per annum.

THE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE.— W e have always held that the voluntary principle in all matters pertaining to the support of public worship will be found infinitely more productive than the compulsory system, and on this ground alone, irrespective of other and higher con- siderations, we have never failed to advocate free-will offerings in preference to forced payments. Never were there so many new churches built as there have been during the last quarter of a century, a period in which churchmen having been gradually throwing off the no- tion that forced contributions were the only means of keeping up our old ecclesiastical edifices or erecting new ones. The recent erection of St. Mark's Church in this town is a striking proof of what churchmen can accom- plish on the voluntary principle when they fairly make the attempt. In this instance, too, we are glad to find that the principle is further exemplified and found to give the greatest satisfaction in the maintenance of public worship. Since the opening of the church a debt of some £ 38 was incurred for incidentals in making pro- vision for thj comfort of the congregation. A few mem- bers of the congregation were called together for the purpose of considering the best mode of raising the ne- cessary amount for liquidating these liabilities. The result was that a voluntary contribution was resolved upon which realized instead of £38, something more than £ 50. LECTURE ON LORD BACON.—On Monday evening last, the Rev. Mr. Chapman, of Chester, delivered a lec- ture in the Music Hall, on "Lord Bacon." The lecture was of a very interesting and instructive character, and was listened to throughout with the most marked atten- tion. The rev. gentleman commenced by congratulat- ing the members of the Young Men's Christian Associ- ation on the establishment of so useful a society, and trusted their efforts would be attended by the success they deserved. He arranged his lecture so as to bring out in striking contrast the great intellect and low mo- rality of Lord Bacon. On the latter head Mr Chapman differed with some of our historians in reference to the conduct of Loid Bacon towards the Earl of Essex. Mr Chapman told us that Bacon sought to be employed as the counsel against the Earl and made no attempt to intercede on his behalf after sentence of death was pas- sed. We believe it is to be found on record that Bacon undertook this duty with great reluctance, or, as some say, was compelled, by Elizabeth to undertake the pro- secution of Essex, and afterwards did his best to obtain a reversal of the sentence. We are not in a position to state which is the authentic account, but we could wish for the credit of human nature, that it is the one to which we have adverted, for Bacon, as was ably shewn by Mr Chapman, was base enough without this foul blot of meen ingratitude. The lecturer concluded by mora- lizing in eloquent terms upon the whole career of the great Lord Chancellor, showing that high intellectual attainments were no guarantee for moral worth. At the conclusion a vote of thanks was proposed by the Rev. F. B. Brown, and seconded by the Rev. J. G. Short. The attendance, considering the state of the weather, was very good. Mu. AYHALLEY A CANDIDATE FOR PETERBOROUGH. —Our neighbour, Mr Whalley, has again come forward as a candidate for Peterborough, and has issued the fol- lowing address to the elector of that city.—" Gentlemen, -I can scarcely say that 1 have completed my canvass, for there are many of the electors whom I have not yet had an opportunity of seeing, but I can no longer with- hold the expression of my gratitude for the reception which I have met with. Without presuming too much upon ultimate success in a contest exposed to so many vicisitudes, I can truly say that I have not of. any pre- vious occasion received so many promises of support, and-what still more justifies my offering myself as a candidate—the refusals that I have met with have been, almost invariably accompanied with some hearty ex- pression of good will towards myself, and those princi- ples of independence of which I am the humble advo- cate. My heart, gentlemen, is too full of gratitude to- wards my friends, to admit any feeling of hostility to- wards my opponents; but while I leave Mr Hankey to explain at his own convenience, and in his own way, his parliamentary career and am willing to render to Mr Wilde as much credit as a stranger and for the first time devoting his professional abilities to parliamentary service, as he can himself expect; I desire to mark my respect for Mr Wells as a disinterested adrocate of the liberal cause. In Mr Wingfield, to whom Mr Wells in his retiting address refers, I presume, as our common opponent" I recognize a gentleman of such position in the district as most fully entitles him to represent in Parliament the opinions and interests of his party. At the great meeting on Monday evening, I stated fully my opinions on the question on which the Dissolution of Parliament has takeu place, and I offer my thanks to the electors and non-electors present on that occasion for their kind attention, and for the confidence with which they inspired me by their approval of my sentiments. No man will enter Parliament more opposed than I am, either to reckless change or even to careless alteration in the laws and institutions of our country but a great extension of the Franchise appears to me to be necessary, as well as to ensure to those who pay the taxes a control over the public administration and expenditure, so as to widen the basis of our Legislature that it may afford to those Institutions increased confidence and respect at home; and add to the weight and influence of England whenever she may be called upon to speak in behalf of Liberty, Protestantism, and Civilization abroad. I again beg leave to urge upon you the expression of my grati- tude for the generous reception which I have met with from all classes, and from every section of your political parties.—I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient MMt oblige øta el H, yfaawyo,,

I MONTHLY MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL- The usuai monthly mee ting of the Town Council was I hold in the Council Chamber, at the Guildhall, on Wed- nesday last.—Present, Alderman Rowland, in the chair; Aldeiineu, l'ainter and Williams Councillors, Charles Hughes, Rowland, J. P. Hughes, Rogers, Bayley and Clark. Absent, the Mayor, Alderman Clark, Council- lors, Bury, Griffith, Evans and Taylor. After lending the minutes of the last council meeting, the Town Clerk,produced aud read the following letter from Mr Dury 11 Wrexliam, April 27th, 1S59.—D.ar Sir,—A pre- vious engagement to attend a vestry at ilarcluviol inter- feres to prevent my attendance at the Council Meeting this morning. I may have attended to answer to my name, but have no idea of attempting to evade the lines. As iegards the notice given by me to repeal the third paragraph of the 15th Bye-law, I beg to say that I gave the notice with a view that the objections urged by the tradesmen who attended upon us, should be fuliy and fairly considered add discussed, and in order to meet the views of all parties, I propose to substitute the hours from 11 to 3, instead of from 10 to 4, which will give two more hours lor the delivery of goods without in- commoding the tradesman with having goods delivered in the height of the bustle of the market. None would regret more than the tradesmen themselves ]f the bye. law was rescinded entirely. I have requested Mr Coun- cillor Bayley to move the resolution of which I have given notice -1 am, dear sir, yours truly, JoilN BUlLY. J. James, Esq., Town Clerk." The Clerk then referred to and read various standing orders bearing upon the motion, and intimated that they had been complied with. Mr Bayley then rose to move the fillowin,, resolution. That instead of ten o'clock and four o'clock the third section of the 15th Bye-law should read a3 follows. -Or shall any time after eleven o'clock in the morning, and before three o'clock in the afternoon, of any Thurs- day or fair day, unload or remove any goods, wares, or merchandise, irom any cart, waggon, or other carriage used for the conveyance of goods at or into any house, shop, warehouse, or other place near or adjoining to any market, or near or adjoining to any street along which there is usually, on market or fair days, much thorough- fare." He regretted Mr Bury was not able to be present, as, he believed, that he had paid considerable at:ention to the matter since he had given notice of the moti >n, by i ven notice of the mot i )n, by discussing it with those parties who had sought the al- teration. He (Mr Bayley) had h-id som9 conversation with Mr Bury, who informed hitu that the proposed al- teration quite meets with the approbation of some of those tradesmen who had waited upon the Town Council at their last meeting. They by no means wished the bye- law in question to be repealed, as it would leave them very much at the mercy of the railway company, which as they all, no doubt, would agree, was not at all a de- sirable thing. He had spoken to one or two of the tradesmen himself who signed the memorial to the Town Council, and they were of opinion that the modi- fication proposed fcy Mr Bury would quite meet the case. ^>en that bye-law was under the consideration of the Town Council at the time the bye-laws were framed, it was stated that the delivery of goods on a mar- ket day was a great nuisance to the tradesmen generally, and it was to remedy that evil that the third section, of the 15th bye-law was proposed. It appeared, however, that many of the tradesmen were of a different opinion. They (the Town Council) met there as a legislative body, and whatever laws they made they could have no other object than the prosperity ot the town. So far as they were concerned therefore, there could be no objection to make the proposed alteration, so long as it was con- sidered to be a public advantage and a convenience to the tradesmen. Mr Daniel Jones said, he had great pleasure in se- conding the resolution. When the bye-laws were under the consideration of the Council before, he was in favour of allowing a longer period for the delivery of goods on market days, and proposed that the railway company should be allowed till eleven in the morning, and begin again at three in the afternom. That proposal, he be- lieved, would meet the wish of every party, and he had therefore great pleasure in seconding it. Mr C. Hughes asked the Town Clerk whether he had any record of Mr Jones's amendment ? The Town Clerk No, I have not. (Laughter.) Mr J. P. Hughes thought the law as it now stands was a very good one. We had a bye-law for punishing the tradesman for leaving his goods on the pathway, and if the tradesman had not the power of preventing the rail- way company from putting them there when he was too much engaged to take them from there, it was rather hard upon him. Alderman Painter said the question was what time the I market did begin. Ho was under the impression that the corn market did not begin till three. Mr Daniel Jones said the business of the market be- gan at eleven-after that tradesmen were too much en- gaged to take in goods. Mr Clark did not see any advantage in the alteration. Mr Rogers did not think the people would be satisfied with what was now proposed. He thought they ought to take the sense of the inhabitants on the question. At three o'clock the market was at its full height. On the motion of Alderman Painter, seconded by Mr Rogers, the matter was ultimately adjourned to the Market Committee. Mr Charles Hughes observed that if they had to sit to make bye-laws with the streets as clear as they are now on market days it is probable that such a law as that would not now be passed. Formerly it was impossible to get up or down the street on that day, but that evil had been considerably mitigated. They could do little in winter after three o'clock in the way of getting in goods, but if the tradesmen of High-street and Hope .street thought the alteration would be an ad- vantage, he saw no objection to it. The Town Clerk reported that he hal two applications which were not on the business paper, and although somewhat irregular it would only be courtesy to notice them, although they had no power to adjudicate upon them. One was from Messrs Thomas and Charles Evans, the other from Mr David Angel Jones. After some little discussion, both applications were left for the con- sideration of the Local Government Board.

A DRINKING FOUNTAIN FOR WREXHAM.—A corres- pondent suggests the desirability of erecting a drinking fountain in some suitable corner of our town. We should like to seo something of the kind carried out, but we fear it would be quite impossible at present, for want of a proper supply of water. Should we ever he fortu- nate enough to have water works we should then be in a position to erect drinking fountains. BOROUGH MAGrSTlLATES' COURT, YESTERDAY.—Be- fore W. Rowland, Esq. BREAKING A PLATE GLASS WLNDOW.-Thomas Har- ris, of Shrewsbury, was apprehended by P. C. Nadin, charged with breaking, that morning, a pane of glass in the shop window of Mr. Potter, stationer, High-street. It appsared that the prisoner was looking at the windo w and on seeing a form of prayer ior the Thanksgiving on Sunday next, deliberately broke a. large plate glass pane with his stick. He was fined 25s. and costs, or in de- fault one month's imprisonment. DaUNK AND DISORDERLY.—Ellis Roberts, Brymbo, was brought up charged with being drunk and disorderly on Thursday night in York-street. Fined 5s. and costs.

RHOSYMEDUE. A PICTORIAL LECTURE.—On Tuesday evening last, the Rev J. Thomas, of Ellesmere; delivered his pictorial lectures on Scripture Characters, in the Assembly Room, (kindly lent by Mr Puleston for the occasion). In the course of the lecture he advanced many striking and useful lessons connected with the early History of the Bible, showing its various translations and its wonder- ful preservation as it has come down to us on the stream of time. He also exhibited by the aid of the Magic Lantern several interesting and impressive representa- tions of scripture characters—such as our first parents driven from Paradise, Joseph meeting his father, Samson and the Lion, Elijah fed bv the Ravens, &c. The lec- ture which occupied an hour and half in delivery was listened to with the greatest attention and frequently applauded. The audience evinced their approval of the lecture by giving the rev. gentleman an unanimous in. vitation to visit Rhosymedre again as soon as possible, which he promised to do. The chair was occupied by the Rev. L. Reese, ot Cefnbychan, who conducted the meeting in a very efficient manner. The attendance was good considering the inclemency of the weather. The proceeds are to be devoted to the intended alterations and improvements of the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Rhosymedre. After a vote of thanks to the lecturer, chairman, and Mr Puleston for the use of the room, the Doxology was heartily sung, after which the Rev. J. Prosser, engaged in prayer, and the people dispersed highly pleased with what thev had seen and beard. LLANGOLLEN. PETTY SESSIONS.—Tuesday, April, 2oth, 1859.-Be- fore Colonel Biddulph, and James Maurice, Esq. Peter Wright and Thomas Davies were summoned again. It will bo remembered that they were summoned at the March Sessions, when Mr Whalley and Mr Venables were on the bench, between whom some difference took place with regard to the evidence. One question which arose there was whether the dismissal of a summons was a bar to the party re-summoned, Mr Whalley maintaining that it was so. The magistrates' clerk was instructed to write to the Secretary of State for instruc- tions on this point, who wrote in reply that, no adj udi- cation of that description was a bar to future proceed- ings. The men were accordingly re-summoned, and fined 5s each, with 7s costs.-On Saturday, Abel Vaughan and Ellis Evans, were fined 10s and 6s costs, by Col. Biddulph, for being in pursuit of rabbits in a field belonging to J. R, Lygo) Esq;, girc&iilgWA Afill

NORTH SHROPSHIRE ELECTION, 1 RETIREMENT OF SIR BALDWIN LEIGKTON1. I On Thursday to the surprise of a large body of tree- holders in this town, and all the other parts of the di- vision, it was officially announced that Sir Baldwin L'ihtoll had withdrawn from the contest, thus leaving the course clear for the return of the Hon. R. C. Hill raid J. R. Gore. No doubt the hon. baronet has good 1 "ason, for coining to such a decision, but from what we l.ave buen able to learn, the strong feeling which was manifested in his favour, there would have been little doubt of his success had he gone to the poll. We re- cret that circumstances induced him to retire, because we conscientiously believe that Sir Baldwin Leightou would have been a great acquisition to the working t:ten in the House of Commons. The election is fixed to take place on Tuesday morning next, in this town.— Shrewsbury Chronicle.

BitYMUO. I BRYMBO LEAD AND SPELTER COMPANY LIMITED.— The directors of this important company are pressing forward the works with all possible vigour and despatch, two furmces are completed and are now bein'g aired, preparatory to their receiving their first charges of mi- neral. We congratulate the spirited promoters of this company on their success in organizing the company, believing that it will add to the importance of the mineral district in which it is situate. CEFN MA Wit. TESTIMONIAL. — On Monday evening last a meeting was held in the Baptist Chape], Com Mawr, for the pur- pose Of getting up a testimonial to the liev. Ellis Evans, who has been minister of the chapel for forty years. The chair was occupied by the Rev. A. Jones Parry, and ad- dresses were delivered to a crowded audience by Mr. Jonathan Jones, the Rev. Mr. Rees, Cefn Bychan, and Mr. Evans gave a histoty of his forty years ministry in the Cefn. The testimonial is to consist of a handsome purse .made by Miss Jones, Abers-ychar, and about .£50 have been already subscribed. Several coutributions were received at the meeting, and the subscription list will be open for three weeks yet. Mr. Evans announced ainid loud. cheers that he now intended bringing out his history of the B iptlsts, a work upon which he has been employed for the last forty-five yeirs. THE LODGE. TEA MEETING.—The annual tea meatine, waa held on Good Friday, at the Wesleyan Reform CLayul, in the abave place. The weather was exceedingly ifne, and this, with the prospect of a good meeting, attracted a great number of people. Very nearly two hundred sat down to the tea, which was supplied in a manner highly satisfactory, under the superintendence of Mrs. G. J. Hughes. When tea was over, a public meeting was held in the chapel, which was presided over by Mr. John Williams. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Edward Jones, Mr. George Jones, Mr. Halbert, and Mr. Roberts, of Wrexham, and Mr. John Evans, of Chirk. The meet- ing altogether passed off most satisfactorily, and was said to have been one of the best ever held in connec- tion with this place. The profits will be devoted to the school fund, and towards meeting the necessary expense of cleaning the chaoel. HOLYWELL. EASTER MONDAY.—Our town on Monday last, ac- cording to annual custom, presented a holiday appear- ance. The weather unfortunately, was very unpropiti- ous for holiday making, and no doubt detained many a buxom swain and cherry lipped damsel from visiting the town. Several clubs held their anniversaries and the Wesleyan Methodist annual meeting also came off. The town, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather was tolerably filled. FREE CHURCH.—f he annual meeting, held for many years past at the Chapel-street Chapel, took place on Good Friday. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Stallybrass, B.A., Wavertree, and the Rev. Mr. Peters, Chester, who delivered during the day most ad- mirable discourses. The congregations were numerous and respectable. a 0

RETURN HOME OF T. L. D. JOYES PARRY, EsQ. On Wednesday la3t, Captain Jones Parry, of Mad'yn, arrived at the town of Pwllheli, on his return home from the continent, when the inhabitants of that place gave him a most enthusiastic reception. Flags were displayed in all directions, and the greatest delight was manifested on the occasion. As soon as he entered the town, the horses were taken from the carriage, and the populace drew it themselves through the town. D "lnn-stratio^s of joy were also exhibited aL N.-vi.i. a i l O jii.j, the greatest pleasure was manifested at the return of Captain Parry.

SIR BALDWIN AND THE DISSENTERS. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,-You have no doubt been informed of the pla- card war" raging in Oswestry between the friends of Leighton and Gore. The fight commenced with a docu- ment signed by fifteen" inhabitants of the town who professed a pious horror of Sir Baldwin's "objection. able views-' on church rates. This was replied to by A Dissenter," and to- day a counter-placard has been is-ued, signed Another Dissenter." For such of the "fifteen" as are not by this time heartily ashamed of having been made dupes or partizans, I submit the fol- lowing facts for their consideration. I .lst.-T.tJ.e aocument signed by the" fifteen" was got up by Mr. Gore s committee for the purpose of damag- ing Sir Baldwin Leighton. 2nd. The ringleaders of the il fifteen" were not honest in their profession of dislike to Sir Baldwin's views, for they are active canvassers for Mr. Goie, who holds the same views. 3rd.-That now the facts of the case are known in Oswestry, some of the "fifteen" are annoyed that they should have ever signed the document. 4th.-One of the most active of the "fifteen" has never been a consistent defender of any views," for in 1832 he worked hard for one principle in North Shrop- shire, and equally hard for another in Denbighshire or to speM more closely, he worked for Porkington in Shropshire, and Chirk Castle, in Denbighshire, and now, although professing to be liberal, is an active canvasser for Mr. Gore. 5th.—The letter signed Another Dissenter," bears a falsehood on the face of it. The writer is well known, and all of the Dissenter about him is a certain pertinac- ity for boring his friends with anecdotes of his uncles and cousins, who move in the first circles of Dissent. 6th -That several of the leading Dissenters of Os- westry refused to sign the document bearing the names of the "fifceen" when asked to do so. •\TT r .I. p Here i noE arraiu or trespassing too much upon your space, I could give you some additional facts, but the foregoing will satisfy candid minds, at.d be quite as much as the small" portion of the fifteen" who still stand by their document, can manage, If they do attempt to reply, I hope they may be able to doctor" up a better one than the placard of Another Dissenter." Yours obediently, í\ obediently, A THIUD DISSENTER. Oswestry, April 27, 1859.

MR. HODGES AND THE POLICE. To the Editor of the T)eiibifi7ishire -Advertiser. Sir, -1 saw in your paper of Saturday last, a letter from Mr Hodges, of High-street, in: which, amongst other things, he states that I and Sergeant Nadin swore before the magistrates that we saw him bolt down Back Chamber-street, whereas he was not in it at all durino- the day in question. Now, sir, this charge is not true, and Mr Hodges must know it. What we stated before the Bench was, that we saw Mr Hodges going down the Town Hill, and that I went down Back Chamber-street and X adin down Church-street in order to meet him, but that he turned back and gave us the go-by. Mr. Hodges was present when this was stated and he must have heard it as did every one else in the room. May I ask, therefore, why he wilfully charges me in print with stating the very reverse of what I said ? I find, too, that hs denies, point blank, every- thing which was stated by McAllen and Nadin, relative to the conversation said to have taken place in his shop. I know nothing positively on this head only this, that Mr Hodges did not dare to deny one word before the Bench of what they asserted, but on the contrarv, tacitly admitted it, which fact every one who was pre sent can bear witness to. Mr Hodges should have re- membered that what we stated was on oath, and also that we personally, had no interest whatever in the case one way or the other. If he were fined in a heavy sum the fault was more his own than any one else, but be it as it may, he has no right to state things in a newspaper the very contrary to truth. I have nothm0 to say ?ain.t any lUan's opinin7 but truth and facts ought to be °fairly stated.—I am, sir, your truly, EWARD LUID, Inspector of Police. P c \r r Hodges must be careful who he gets to write his letters, or in other words, he must be care- ful what Le permits to be inserted with his own name append) ed l thereto. He would not be the first person in this county against whom an action and damages for lioel &c., has been brought at the instance of the police.

ELECTION FOR THE DENBIGHSHIRE I BOROUGHS. The nomination for the Denbighshire Boroughs took i place at the County Hall, Denbigh, yesterday, the VJayor J. Parry Jones, Esq, presiding, and, as there was no opposition to Mr. Townshend Mainwaring, it was a very quiet affair.. George Griffith, Esq.. of Garn, in one ofhs ciiaracter- istic speeches, propo cd Mr. Mainwaring as a fit and proper person to rupr. sent the Denbighshire Boroughs in the Commons House of Parliament. He approved, he :.¡,jJ, of Mr. Main wiring's conduct in Parliament and agreed with him in all ius votes. He spoke Of Lord J. lfusaeirs resolution as one of his usual monkey tricks. T. Hughes, Esq., of Ystrad, sec rnded the non.ina- lion. They were all aware, he said, that Mr. Mainwar- ing was elected as a supporter of Lord Fulmerston on the China policy-that policy bad resulted in very great benefit to this couutry, and he claimed for Mr. Mainwaring the full credit of having given a manly and independent support to that policy. He had done so without reference to party. When Parliament differed w.ith Lord Palmerston, and Lord Derby was called to be premier, Mr Mainwaring had given him the same hearty suppoit which he had done to Lord Palmerston. He did uot follow any great man's dictum, but supported that policy which he thought was for the good of the nation at large. He (Mr. Hughes) did not approve of the means by which the Deiby ministry was defeated. but he approved of the course which the ministiy had taken in consequence of the defeat. As they were aware they had two dissolutions in two years, and when min- istries were condemned in that way he thought the pres- ent ministry were not only justified, but he believed it was the only course open to them to call for the judgment of the people on the poiut. It was very im- portant that Her Majesty's Government should have the confidence and support of the House of Commons, and he trusted whatever government might be in power that they would receive the support of the House of Com- mons, particularly at the present critical time when that all absorbing subject—the war-was occupying so much attention. The (iovei uncut had done all in their power, as they knew from their acts and the speech of Lord Derby at the Mansion House, to promole the peace of Europe. Tney would, no doubt pursue the same policy again, and if there was no other reason, he thought this alonn ought. to induce us to do all in our power to keep the ministrv inoffice (hisses.) He thought it an overw helm- ing reason why they should keep them in effiae and send up a man pledged to support them and give effect to the opinions of the Government. He was glad they were unanimous upon this occasion, and he took their unani- mity as a tribute to the fact that Mr Mainwaring had performed his duty. It was wonderful what little inter- est an uncontested election excited, hut pleasing as the excitement of opposition might be to some parties, he thought it very fortunate that they were unaiimous upon that occasion, as it left Mr Mainwaring free and un- fettered to deal with the important questions which, no doubt, would come before Parliament. After asking if any one had any other candidate to propose, and waiting the usual time, the Mayor declared Mr Mainwaring duly elected. Mr. MAINWARING then came forward and said, it was very gratifying to him to be elected for the third time to represent them in Parliament. It was gratifying to him for many reasons. It was gratifying because it was unanimous. Though a victory, it was a bloodlesi one. And he trusted there would be no ill feeling exhibited by any one. As had been already stated he thought the unanimity which prevailed was a proof that the.electors on the whole were satisfied with the independent course he had pursued. For his part he should never go to parliament to truckle to any great man. He had been invited by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Griffith to address them on the principal topics which were now engaging the attention of the public. But there was now one question that had become of so momentous a character that all others sunk almost into nothing before it-the question of war. He would say that he had been san- guinl enough to believe all along that war would have been avoided. But out ot evil sometimes cometh good, and it may be that many blessings may come out of the present struggle. It may tend to destroy the black dominBtion of priestcraft in Italy-thcr parts of Europe and be the means of protestantising even France her- self, if she only has lair play. England had been engaged in several wars within the last few years-one in alliance with an individual upon whom many were <]:5;;usfl lo l-v,!c with a great degree of suspicion, though for ius v,I'U part he b.d always looked upon him with a dogree of iiope,-tatat war na 1 been pro- ductive of good. Mr. Hughes had alluded to China. Well, that war resulted in the opening of that great cocntry to our commerce, our civilization, and he hoped our Christianity. Tnen there was India where its two hundrad millions of innabi- tants rose against us en masse, and were driven like clouds before tile wind. We therefore miy venture to hope that the present fearful prospect of affairs in Europe may issue in some favourable results. With regard to his conduct in parliament, he voted for the government reform bill because he believed that if it had only been allowed to go into committee, it might have come out an excellent measure. It had in it the elements of much good. The principle he had advocated in that room-the principle of enfranchising provident habits was one feature in it. With regard to Church- rates he thought the time had come, when they mus the settled. The question was taken up by the present government, and a compromif-e attempt for him- self he wished that compromise had been accepted, hut he voted for their abolition because he saw no alterna- tive. He thought he need not enter further into these questions-he would state his opinion on the ballot if they wished. Their kindness in thus elect- ing him unanimously should not be lost upon him. It would be a stimulus to him to pursue the same course he had hitherto done. He was ex- tremely obliged to them for the honour they had again done him. There would, no doubt, be many momen- tous questions brought before Parliament, and he would give them that attention and independent support he had hitherto done. (Cheers.) The proceedings terminated by Mr Mainwaring pro- posing a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was se- conded by Mr Griffith, Garn. The audience, which was very small, then retired without any demonstration of feeling at all.

THE WONDER OF THE WORLD. H OLLOWAY'S P ILLS. THIS great Household Medicine ranks 8mon the last- JL ing necssaries of life, as it is well kuoivn to the wi,J world that it. cures many other remedies cannot reach. This fact is aa well tstabhshed as that the UI1 lights the world. DISORDEItS OF THE LIVER AND STOMACH* most persons will, ft som.1 period of their lives, suffer from indigestion, deramiL' neat of their livr, stomach, or bowels, which, if uot qtiickty removed, frequently settles into a dangerous illness. It is well kmwn in India, and other tropical climates, that llulloways' Tills is the only remedy that can be relied upon in such cases. Almost every soldier abroad carries a box of these Pills in bit knapsack. In England most persons know that these Pilli will cure them whenever the liver, stomach, or bowels are out of order, and that they need no physician. DERANGEMENT OF THE KIDNEYS. If these Pills be used according to the printed directioui and the Ointment rubbed over the region of the kidneys- at least once a day, as salt is forced into meat, the Ointmen: would penetrate into the kidneys and correct any derange- ment of. these organs, should he suffer from stone or gravel, then the Ointment ought to be rubbed iuto the neck of the bladder also, a few days will convince the snfferer of the astonishing effect of ttiese two remedies. NERVOUS DISORDERS. Any derangement of these delicate organs affects disas- trously both the body and mind. To the nervous invalid Hdloways Pills are an ar icle of vital necessity. As they impart tone and vigour to the internal organs, and conse- queutly to the nervous system, which pervades aud nects them. Hence their marvellous curcs of hysteria, lo* spirits, spasms, fits, '^adaches, nervous twitchings, and other kindred com^aitt-8 are all radically removed by the use of these invaluable Pills. BILIOUS AFFECTIONS. The quantity and quality of the bile are of vital imports ance to health. Upou the liver, the gland which seerete this fluid the Pills operate speciEeaIly, infallibly rectifying its iregularities,andeaect'tai)y curinij jaundice, bilious re. mUtants, and all the varieties of disease geuerated by aa unnatural condition of the organ.

THE BALLOT, OrR Member for the boroughs, in his address in the Town Hall, made an observation upon the bal- lot which we feel called upon to clear up. It was to this effect; that if the electors had the ballot, members of Parliament ought also to be allowed the same privilege. There is no analogy between the two cases. A member of Parliament is answerable to his constituents for his votes, an elector is answer- able to no one except to himself. It is an error to assert that electors hold their votes in trust for the benefit of others. They do no such thing. They are not trustees in any sense of the word. They hold their votes for the benefit of none except themselves. A. B. has a vote—why ? Because he is an educated or upright man ? No. But be- cause he is the possessor of a "bit of English earth,' of the value of 40s. per annum. The law gives the franchise not to individuals, but to the property which they possess. The theory being this, that if a man possess a piece of land, or a house, he has an interest at stake, and by giving a vote to protect and improve such property he will inevitably, for self interest, range himself on the side of order and £ ood government. If a vote is, therefore, given us because of a certain property qualification-for whom are we trustees—except for ourselves and the interest of our own vested rights ? The cry raised as to the trusteeship of Electors is founded on a fallacy, and Reformers would do well to meet it at once by n hold negative. The case of members re- turned to Parliament is quite different. They are the servants of the electors and answerable to them for their actions. Let us put the matter thus sim- ply. Twenty merchants in Liverpool are in part- nership. They wish to appoint a commercial travel- ler. They agree to do so by ballot. Because they think proper to elect by ballot would it he right for their traveller to decline giving an account of his proceedings ? Would it be tolerated if he wrote to his employers, from Wrexham, Gentlemen I have transacted a large amount of business, and received several sums of money here, but as you elected me by ballot, I consider that I have a right to claim the same secresy, and I decline to tell you what I have done, or to account for the cash." And yet, this is precisely what Mr. Mainwaring would like. If we elect members of Parliament-as we have a right, to protect and benefit our property, by ballot, he thinks it only fair that they should be protected from surveillance too, in the House of Commons. Was there ever s'uch a non sequiterl The electors are the employers, members are the employed, and accountable as such to their employers, the electors. The electors have a perfect right to the ballot, but it is such an outrage upon common—sense to argue, t refrom that members of Parliament have a claim t the like privilege, that we have scarcely the pa- tience to answer such twaddle. Nothing but a sense of public duty, should induce us to lose time and waste paper in answering it. The ballot at Elections will, it is true, give one protection to members of parliament—it will pro- tect them from the harrassing applications of their powerful, or unscrupulous supporters, for govern- ment patronage. They will no longer be obliged to sell themselves to the government of the day for the sake of procuring situations for their country friends. But on this important phase of the ballot question, we refer our readers to the letter signed Y Cymro in our last number. We can have no real retrenchment, nor government reform, until our members are emancipated from the thraldom in which they are held by the present pystem gf prpga voting elective

WREXHAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 18o9. Present-Captain Panton, R.N., chairman; Mr. Chaloner and Captain M'Coy vice-chairmen; Messrs. AVright, Ruabon; Burton, Minera Brough, Esclushcm Above; Beavan, Sutton; Rowe, Ruabon; Hughes, Ru- abon; Weaver, Erbistock Richards, Worthenbury Wood, Ruabon Roberts, Ruabon; Jones, Ruabon; Clay. Bangor; Manley, Burton; Woolrich, Marfonl and Hoseley Parsonage, Marchwiel: Roberts, Eyton Dixon, Sesswick Sanderson, Broughton Lewis, Pick- hill; Parsonage, Dutton Diffeth Ellis, Abenbury Fawr j Edgworth, Wrexham Regis, and Parry, Hope. THREAP WOOD.—The clerk read a letter from the Poor Law Board in reply to a communication asking what Union Threapwood now belonged to. The reply stated that the subject was under the consideration of the Poor Law Board. GWERSYLLT.—A letter was also read which had been received by Mr. Thomas Parsonage, of Gwersyllt, from the Poor Law Board, stating that they could not au- thorize Mr Poyser to act as guardian for the township of Gwersyllt without being elected. The communication also contained a form to be filled up by Mr. Parsonage if he wished to resign the office of guardian to which he had been appointed. A communication was also read from Mr. Parsonage in which he stated that he had no- minated Mr. Loyser as guardian for the township of Gwersyllt, but the nomination paper was lost either through the carelessness of his servant or Mr. Poysor's. He had no time to attend to the duties of the office himself and on that ground had tendered his resignation to the Poor Law Board. MEDICAL OFFICERS' VISITS TO THEIR PATIENTS.— Captain M'Coy called the attention of the board to the medical relief list of Mr. Dickenson. He (Capt. M'Coy) in company with the relieving officer, had been round to the paupers in Wrexham Regis and Wrexham Abbot during the last week. and every papuper on Mr. Dickin- son's list in Wrexham Regis said it was two months since they had seen Mr. Dickenson. On asking one of them who did visit her she said she had only seen the journeyman, as she termed him, for some time. If they were to pay 170 a year fur a journeyman let them adver- tise for some one who would do the work for journey- man's wages. He considered it outrageous that they should be paying the salary of a qualified practitioner for work done by an unqualified assistant. If it was two months since Mr. Dickenson had seen his town patients what must it be since he had seen his country ones. The chairman then referred to the case of Mary Jones, a pauper on Mr. Dickenson's list, whose case had been be- fore the board at an esrlier stage of the proceedings; Capt..M'Coy said as he had been the means of calling the attention of the board to the medical officers, he was glad to be able to otate that Mr. Lewis had been most attentive to his patients for the last three months-visit- ing them all himself. MR. ROWLAND.—Mr. Rowland, one of the medical officer, was then called into the board room, when the chairman said, Mr Rowland, there is a complaint against you, that on the 7th of Aprl, about half past nine in the evening, a man of the name of George Lemington, was brought into the house, and a messenger seut for the medical officer, but two persons named Roach and Ed- isbury attended George Lemington. The next day Geo. Lemington was again visited by Roach and Edisbury at eight o'clock in the morning, and George Lemington did not appear to have been visited by the medical officer until haalf-past twelve or a quarter to one on the 9th of April. Mr. Rowland: The messenger came to my house about ten o'clock—just as I was going to bed. I was not sent for personally, and I sent my assistant, who usually attends. The case was not of a serious nature. The Chairman It was an accident. Mr. Rowland: But a trifling one. The Chairman: It has been laid down distinctly that the mediaal officer is to visit every case himself or by his known substitue. If you did not choose to come yourself you ought to have sent Mr. Lewis. Mr. Rowland: The master ought to have informed me if he considered the case an important one. The chairman then turned to the medical officers' in- structions, when Mr. Rowland (opening a book) said he had those instructions himself, and unless some of them had been put a one side, he was not wrong. The chairman then read article 195 and article 199 for the purpose of showing that the medical officers are bound to visit all patients personally or send their ap- pointed substitute. He then added that Mr. Rowland's letter to the board was not at all satisfactory, and the law as laid down by Mr. Doyle, the assistant commis- sioner, in the case of Mr. Lewis, was that the medical offictr was to visit every case himself, or send his known substitute. Mr. Rowland: That's now to me. The chairman: It's no use bandying about words* We have a duty as guardians to perform, and we shall do it. Mr. Rowland It's impossible for me to visit every SD myself. The Chairman Then you bad better resign. Mr Rowland I shall think about that first. The Chairman I consider you have been guilty of great neglect in the performance of your duty. Yon allowed two days to pass without seeing this man at all. Jr. Rowland: One day. The Chairman Two (fays, Mr. Rowland Not quite. The Chairman made a remark that we did not catch, and Mr. Rowland left the room observing that there was no complaint against him, and that he had not been guilty of any neglect. After he had gone, the chairman observed that Mr. Rowland had treated the board with very great disrespect —and moved that the Poor Law Board be written to re- questing them to send down an official to investigate the whole matter. This was seconded by Mr. Burton. illit. DicyRN-)-.z.-The chairman observed that there were iha laches of another medical officer to be consider- ed. After a few observations it was agreed that Mr. Dickenson should be written to. FORTNIGHTLY BOARDS.—\Tr. Jonathan Jones then rose to propose the motion of which he had given notice that day fortnight—" That the board meetings should be held fortnightly instead of weekly." Mr. Jones said he should consider the question under two he ids. 1st— the arguments in favour of the alterition 2nd-What were likely to bo the objections to it. The arguments in favour of his motion he arranged under nine heads. 1st It was the custom to hold the meetings of the guard- ians forrtnightly throughout Wales, if not throughout England, and old custom is equal to law. 2nd. They had a good c- ork who had given every satisfaction sinre the Union had been established. 31d. They had two good active vice-chairmen—who were very attenlive to their duties. 4th. We have three relieving officers of lon standing who understood their work, and if they perform their duties the fortnightly meetings will answer as well as the weekly one?. 5th. It will be a great hclp to the country guardians—less expense, as well ai a sa- ving of time. 6th. The attendance of the majority is in. favour of the motion, as;nearly two-thirds of the glurd- ians do not attend under the present plan. d tli. The Board has been once or twice adjourned for a fortnight and no inconvenience was felt in consequence. SCti. it we had fortnightly meetings it would be easier to get intelligent gentlemen to become guardians-many de- clining at present because they could not attend weekly- 9th. Many useful guardians were in favour of the motion. Mr Jones then adverted to the arguments likely to be brought forward against the motion, which he arranged under six heads replying to each as he went on. 1st. It was said we should be giving too much power to our relieving officers. This might be remedied by the guardians doing their duty. They were guardians at the Board and they were guardians from the Board, and if they would act the part of watchmen, assist the re- lieving officers, and report them when they did not do their duty, every purpose would be answered. 2nd. It was said a fortnight's pay for the poor was too much to entrust in the hands of the relieving officers at once. This objection he met by observing that the board held bonds from the relieving officers, and if other boards entrust them for a fortnight why could not we ) 3rd. It was said we could not get through the work if we allowed it to accummulate for a fortnight. To this ob- jection Mr Jones replied: The business now occupies two hours on an average, and if they cannot get through the fortnight's business in that time let them come an hour sooner as they used to do. It was better to lose one hour hour than one day. 4th. It might be said the master would have too much power. This might be remedied by appointing a good visiting committee. 5th. There would difficulties arise in regard to coffins and funeral expenses. These cases he observed were but few, and might be safely left to the discretion of the Ie- lieving officers. 6th. It might be said that the board was not prepared for such a change. To meet this ob- jection, let them appoint a committee of six guardians to put the machinery in perfect order to start. Mr Jones then moved that the board commence on the 2nd o<, June to meet every fortnight, and continue doing so until the 2nd of December, as a trial, and if after that the guardians be of opinion that the fortnightly meet- ings do not work well the weekly meetings to be re- sumed. Mr Roberts, (Ruabon), seconed the motion. Mr Parsonage said he agreed with some of the obser- vations of Mr Jones, at the same time, if Mr Jones had been as long at the board as he had, he would have known that the thing was impracticable. It had been frequently mooted during the last three-and-twenty years, but it was always decided that it would not work. The principle was bad. It put too much power in the hands of the officers. It was of very little consequence whether all the guardians were present or not at their meetings, the business was done all the same. If the guardians were forced to attend every meeting the thing would be different, but then it was quite optional. He begged to move that Mr Jones's motion be rejected. Mr Chaloner seconded Mr Parsonage's amendment. Fortnightly boards might answer for the agricultural district of the Union, but in the other two districts the plan would not answer at all. With regard to meeting at ten o'clock in the morning he did not believed it would be possible to get a board at that hour. He remembered the difficulty they had to get three guardians together at that hour some years ago. The Chairman spoke at some length against the pro- posed change. Allowing that it would take half as much time again to transact their business which would make it two o'clock before they finished. Most of the guar- dians would then be gone to the market when the guar- dians of particular townships being h a majority would have thiugs all their own way. With regard to one remark made by Mr Jones, he would just observe that they were only guardians in their own capacity in that room and out of that room they ceased to be so. Fort- nightly boards might answer in agricultural districts, but not in mining ones. If four or five hundred men were thrown out of employ, or a strike took place on a Friday evening it would be throwing a great responsi- bility on the relieving officers. The amendment was then put, and 22 hands lifted up for it, only one (the proposers) being held up for the original motion. A NEW VALUATION FOlt RUABON.—Mr. Rowe said they wanted a new valuation in the parish of Ruabon. With the valuation they were working upon at present there were many persons omitted and excused who onght to be paying largely to the rates. Air. Walms- ley's line of railway paid, while others again were ex- cused. In reply to the board, Mr. ltowc said the val- uation they were now working upon was made in 1809. Along desultory conversation followed in which it was agreed that Mr. liowe ought to have got the conscnt of a vestry before he came to the board. Mr Rowe admit- ted there had been a valuation made since 1809 by Messrs. Staley and Fumival, but they were not acting upon it. He could not say why-most'of these matter were sett" cd by a few individuals at Charles Roberts's house. Mr. Wood Mr. Rowe is as regular a visitor as any one there. The chairman said he had some faint recollection that the valuation referred to did not suit the mineral gentlemen in the district, and that was the reason it was pat aside. Mr. Rowe made some further remarks which were brought to a close by a sort of a count out" of the board. Number in the bouse-195-2 more than last week. Vagrants reiieved 35.
