- THE ELECTIONS AND THE WAIt.…
THE ELECTIONS AND THE WAIt. I LORD iVrby and his lieutenant, Mr. Disraeli, by this time, are able to calculate with tolerable accuracy the "profit and loss" of the dissolu- tion. The chapter of accidents which the Derby-Disraeli government entrusted their political existence to has proved but a sorry expedient, and although they inn v be able to boast when parliament reassembles of being something stronger numerically, their position will be so weakened in reality that they will have to bid farewell for a time to the cares of Downing-street and the delights of the treasury benches. The attempt to pack the House of Commons has signally failed, despite the gold from the Carlton with Earl Derby's liberal subscription to boot. Birmingham has sent back the government candidate with the eloquence of John Bright and the shouts of the liirmingnam reformers ringing in his ears, and a majority against his representing this impor- tant constituency in the House n of Commons that will prevent him from ever showino- his face there again in the character of a Tory candidate. Carlisle has substituted a liberal for a conservative and returned again to Parlia- ment the veteran reformer Sir James Graham. Huddersfield has made amends for rejecting Richard Cobden in 1857, by ousting Mr. Akroyd in 1859, and electing in his stead the brother-in-law of Mr. Bright, while another of the same kindred has been successful in defeat- ing the Tory candidate at Wakefield. The metropolitan boroughs declare against Derby unanimously, and the city returns the forlner liberal members unopposed. Manchester rights herself so far as placing Mr. Bazley at the head of the poll, and reduces the numbers voting for Mr. Turner in a degree calculated to make that gentleman look out for the future. Sunderland has cashiered the railway king and replaced him by a better man, and Nottingham has chosen Mr. Mellor to succeed Mr. Walter. Maidstone has exchanged two Tories for two Liberals. Mr. Berkeley, the unflinching advocate of the Ballot, carried his seat for Bristol against the most strenuous and unscrupulous effort to resuscitate a Conservative interest in that city. We have Fox for Oldham, and Gilpin for Northampton, at the head of the poll. Sheffield returns Roebuck and Hadfield unopposed, and Wolver- hampton pays the same compliment for almost the tenth time to the Hon. C. Pelham Villiers selecting as his compeer in lieu of Mr. Thorne- ly, who retires from parliamentary life-Sir Richard Bethell. And to crown the whole we shall in the new parliament once again be favoured with the unadorned eloquence of Richard Cobden. Amongst the rejected we regret to find the name of Mr. Bernal Osborne, who has been beaten by the government candidate at Dover. It is expected there will be some extraor- dinary revelations here as to the means which thepresent ministry have resorted to for the purpose of winning a seat. Mr. Layard has again been unsuccessful in obtaining a seat, and amongst the rejected Liberal candidates we find the names of White, Nichol, Watkin, Rebow, Wild. and some others. The Tories have, no doubt, increased their minority to the extent of a few votes by the contest, but there are no names of distinction to add to their strength, while the ranks of the liberal party have had an accession of several names who will prove to be a tower of strength in themselves. It is gratifying to find the cordial unanimi- ty which prevails amongst all parties in refer- ence to the Continental War. Neutrality is the cry everywhere. Keep aloof is the advice of every candidate. And these sentiments meet with a ready and hearty response in every place they are uttered. After this we trust no minister will dare to inveigle us into the quarrel, or attempt to find any pretext for forming an alliance with any of these over- bearincr despots. "Resolute neutrality is our policy and our duty. Till we are attacked we are not called upon to rouse ourselves to extraordinary exertions—and it is certain that the more fierce the encounter between France and Austria, the less alarm we shall have occasion to feel about British interests."
-THE BISHOPRIC OF BANGOR.…
THE BISHOPRIC OF BANGOR. I LIT us turn irom the more exciting topics of war and politics. Let us forget, for a moment, the fall in the funds, and the rise in the corn market, to discuss a matter of national im- portance. From the year 1401, when it was solemnly decreed by the king's most excellent majesty and by the wisdom of his privy Council" that "no Englishman should many a Welsh woman under the forfeiture of all his possessions "-a system has prevailed of re- garding the Principality as a nation to be ruled by principles which do not enter into the category either of equity or religion. We are sorry to say it, but amid all this talk of justice and freedom, AVales has been free in the eyes of the English Government as Corfu is free to the Greeks of old- Elcuthera kerJcura, ches hopou thelcis." While behaving with propriety in England any outrage upon decency might be perpe- trated in Wales. An alien in blood and lan- guage would not for an hour, be tolerated in the Bishopric of London, but, for three hundred years, a like insult to common sense and scandal to religion, has been considered good enough for the Principality. We are glad to see the dawning of a better era. Lord Derby acknowledges, in his letter to Col. Pennant, that a knowledge of the Welsh language is essential to a Bishop in Wales. We sincerely hope that his Lordship will not keep a promise to the ear and break it to the heart, by appointing to Bangor one not thoroughly con- versant with the Welsh tongue. We need not argue the necessity of "Welsh Bishops for Wales." The present state of the Church among us is sufficient to show that no church can hold up its head with the millstone of an alien Epis- copacy tied around its neck. The only persons who would have the bravery or folly-which- ever it may be—to deny our position, might be certain clergy of the diocese of St. Asaph- some 196 in number—who lately signed a tes- timonial to the Bishop of that Diocese, and solemnly invoked the aid of the most High to perpetuate an English Bishop among them. The prime movers of that attempt to damp an honest cry of Justice for Wales," were, if we forget not the Yen. Archdeacon Clive, Mr. Glynne, and Air. Bonnor. Now, surely, not not one of those 196 Clergy of St. Asaph, would accept a bislioprick in Bangor, obtained for reasons and upon grounds, which present a solemn protest against St Asaph. We object to any one of the 196, as Welsh Bishops of Bangor, simply because we hope that they were honest and sincere when they strengthened the hands of an English Bishop at St. Asaph. Disnissing then the clergy of this diocese, among w hom we find no proper candidate for Bangor, unless a denial of their principles in their celebrated approval of Dr. Short, constitutes a qualification, we turn to Bangor and elsewhere for a suitable man. First comes Dr. Llewelyn, Principal of Lampeter college, a first-class-man of Oxford and we believe, a good Welshman. 0 B' Next, our townsman, the Rev. Thomas Briscoe, Rector of Holyhead, a Welshman and first- class-man. The Rev. Henry Reynolds, a sec- ond and first class-man, stands third upon our list, but we do not know whether he is a good Welshman or not. Next comes, or perhaps we should say, first of all comes, Dr. Williams, Principal of Jesus college, a first and second class-man, a profound Welsh scholar, and a perfect gentleman. But where Lord Derby has such store to select from, it were useless to en- large a list that falsifies the taunt of where in Wales can you find men suitable for a Bishop." Why, first-class men are as plentiful as black- berries, and it would be an insult to Wales to descend down to second or third rate intellects. IAVT lAg-14 Petty m.. va honest and wise sslss tion and he will have done more to elevate Wales than all the Premiers who have preceded him for three centuries. If, from party or political considerations, he now makes an unwise and improper selection, he will have done his part to ruin a Church of which he professes to be an admirer and a member. We sincerely hope the new Bishop of Bangor will be a thorough Welshman, in heart as well as in tono-ue. That he will be one who not onlv can ;ead Welsh, as a school-boy can read Greek, but one who can converse lluently with his flock and win their hearts by symbolising with their feelings, interests, aspirations, and mode of thought.

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT.…
COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. MONDAY, MAY 2, 1859.—Before Captain Pan ton, R.N., chairman, J. H. Foulkes, Esq., and B. T.

Mr. Owen appeared for the company, and stated that the company bad lost a good deal of coal from time to time, on account of which they were compelled to bring this charge, but they had no wish to punish the boy severely. Ordered to be kept in custody until the rising of the court.
I --WREXHAM EISTEDDFOD.
I WREXHAM EISTEDDFOD. This Eisteddfod was held on Monday last, in the Yorkshire Hall. The unpropitious state of the weather during the previous week had excited fears among the most sanguine of its supporters that it would be a failure, but the bright beams of Monday's sun early called to work several devotees who tastefully decorated the hall with evergreens, together with a great number of old Welsh mottoes, several of which were upwards of a thousand yea1. old. The first meeting commenced at half-past ten, when the Rev. Joseph Jones, of this town, was voted to the chair, and in opening the meeting made a number of appropriate observations, then called upon Clwydfardd the bard of the Eisteddfod, who in a few quaint words proclaimed the opening of the Eisteddfod, and as is cus- tomary, called upon the bards present to read poetic ad- dresses to the meetmg, which was responded to by Mr. T. Jones, (Talisino Eifion) Llangollen, Islo Trtfaldwyn, I &c. The Rev. R. Williams, Brymbo, then read his ad- judication on the first subject in the programme—Para- phrase on Ec«les. xii-for which a prize of 83. had been offered. The adjudication was marked by Llf r. Williams' usual ability, who together with his co-adjudi- cator, Mr. Jones, Llangollen, awarded the prize to Hiraethog. The next subject was Stanzas to the Wrexham Bells"-I)rize 10s., and was awarded to Mr. Williams (Glanmor) now of Gwersyllt national schools. Ihe stanzas were highly commended for their beauty as well as their accuracy, being composed upon a meire peculiar to the Welsh language. After a brief address, a compe- tition took place in reading the 12th chap. of Ecclesias- tes. Three boys, under 15 years, came forward to com- pete, and the prize ot 3s. was given to Master J. Jones, Bee Hive, Church Gates, Wrexham. The adjudication of the Rev. 0. Jones, Manchester, was next read on the essays sent in upon "The evil of holding friendly socie- ties in public houses." The prize of one guinea and a medal (the gift of a friend) was awarded to Mr. David Griffith, printer, of Holywell. The learned adjudica- tor was by no means sparing in his encomiums on this essay. Mr. Griffiths also took the next prize of one pound for the best essay on The shoitest mode of reckoning," being the only essay sent in, nevertheless, proclaimed by the adjudicator to be in every respect worthy of the prize. The prizes of zCl 10s. for the choir who should best sing the Funeral Anthem" of Mrs. Hicks Owen, as well as 5a, for the best recitation by fe- males of the "Fisherman's Wife," by Black well, were not contested for. Hamlet's Soliloquy on Death" was recited by five young persons, all of whom, considering their difficult task recited exceedingly well, but the palm was given to Master Walter Eaton, of Mold, with whom taking prizes in recitations is no new thing. The various successful competitors were decorated with a ribbon accompanied by a smile, by young ladies. After a few words from Hwfa Mon, and the chairman, the first meet- ing terminated. At two o'clock the second gathering met in the same hall, when Mr W. Pierce, of Wrexham. was elected chairman. The bard of the Eisteddfod in an airy, and what the sons ofCymry would call a poetic speech, ad- dressed the meeting, and was several times warmly cheered. Mr Seth Roberts sang a popular Welsh song with great power and effect; then Mr Williams read a long adjudication on the Song of the Miner," some thirty compositions having come to hand, Mr D. Aubrey (Maelor Mon, Llanerchymedd,) was declared to be the beat, and was represented by Joan Msethlu, who was decorated with honours in his absence, the prize being 10s. The next subject was one we bad thought would have excited great interest—"Wrexham—its inhabi- tants, language, schools, trades, institutions, religious denominations, &c," prize £ 2 5s. and a medal. The Hev W. Lloyd, Wern, read his adjudication thereon, which stated that there was but one essay on the sub- ject, which was rather long, and well-written, but the fruit of the author's researches were incorrect, therefore not worthy of the prize. The choir then sang a piece, after which a lively and interesting competition took place on the crab and his son," being one of -,Esop's tables translated and put to verse by the Rev Mr Wil- liams, M.A., Amlwch. The reciting was good through- out, and excited great laughter; and the prize was gained by Master Walter Eaton, Mold, who was called upon to recite it again. JVrofessor Owen, of Chester, then fa- voured the company with his Nae Robin yn swil," (Shy Robin) which caused much merriment and was encored. The next subject was a "stanza to the apple," the prize was divided between Llewelyn Twrog, Ru- thin, Howrll Coedmor." The next prize was awarded to Mr D. Aubrey, Meilir Mon" for the best" Elegy on the death of the late Rev J. Jones, Wrexham." The prize of 91 10s, for the best "Essay on Domestic Edu- cation" was awarded to Llewelyn Twrog, and a prize of two guineas to Pbilender for a Poem on Tranquillity." The proceedings were varied and enlivened at intervals by Gwain Alaw favouring the company with some of his favourite songs. I THE EVENING MEETING. The evening meeting was set apart entirely to the contest of the choirs in the Hallelujah Chorous. The chair was occupied by Thomas Edgwoith, Esq., Mayor of Wrexham, who complimented the inhabitants of the Principality, upon the efforts they were continuallvoinik- ing for the intellectual and moral improvement of their young men. Mr Councillor Charles Hughes also made some excellent remarks to the same effect. There were three prizes offered to the Hallelujah Chorus competi- tors. First prize X5, second X2 10s, third, Cl, v.,hich were competed for by four choirs in the following order. Ruabon, Gwersyllt, Adwy and Wern, and Rhos. The prizes were awarded as Jollows:—1st, Gwersyllt; 2nd, Adwyand Wern; 3rd, Ruabon; a fourth prize of 10s —being collected on the spot and given to the Rhos choir. Before the prizes were awarded the different choir united and sung the Hallelujah Chorous with excellent effect. There was a very large audience assembled in the evening, who were addressed at inter- vals by the different bards and others, and amused by Owain Alaw, who sang a number of his favourite songs in his best style, the meeting concluding with the National Anthem, in which all the company joined.

I WREXIIAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS.…
WREXIIAM BOARD OF GUARDIANS. I THUBSDAY, MAY 4th, 1859. I Present-Captain M'Coy in the chair, iNIr, Brough in the vice-chair; Messrs. Lewis, Pickhiil; Parsonage, Marchwiel; Roberts, Ruabon; Jones, Ruabon; Wood. Ruabon Bott, Stanstv Duckworth, Abenbury Pawr; Jones, Hope; Rowe, Ruabon; Clay, Bangor; and Edg- worth, Wrexham Regis. THE AUDIT.—The Clerk read a notice from Mr. T. K. Roberts, district auditor, fixing the audit on Saturday the 14th of May. I MR. DICKENSON. Mr. mcKenson, one 01 the medical officers of this Union, attended the Board to-day in obedience to a re- quest agreed upon at the board this day week. Before he was called in Captain M'Coy said that as it was he who had brought the charge against Mr. Dickenson, he thought it would be more fair to leave the chair and merely act in his capacity as guardian. This was sec- 'I I 1, onded by Mr. trough. The chair was then taken by Mr. Edgworth and Mr. Dickenson was called into the room, when the chairman requested the clerk to read the miuute requesting Mr. Dickenson's attendance. This done, the chairman asked Mr. Dickenson was he aware of article 198 in the general order? Mr. Dickenson: I only know that for twenty years I have been acting on the same instructions, and I have not received any special iiu tractions since. The Chairman The instructions are public, and state that you are to visit all cases personally. Mr. L)iokenson I was not aware that I was compel- led to attend every case personally. There are many cases of chronic debility as well as other complaints that do not require my personal attendance. I don't mean to say that I ought to neglect any case. or to throw any of the responsibility from off my own shoulders, but I thought the medical officer would be allowed the privil- ege of sending bis assistant. The Chairman: There are only two alternatives either to name a substitute or attend every case yourself. Mr. Dickenson: I always understood that the object of appointing a substitute was, that the medical officer may have some responsible person to act in case of his being from home for some time, unexpectedly railed away, or in case of illness. I was not aware that they were both to serve at the same time. In that case the contract would be with two men instead of one. The regulations do not restrict the assistants from attending- the patient as well as the medical officer, and I have never left any case entirely to the charge of the assist- ant. There are very few weeks but what I see them myself. Lately I have been very unwell and unable to do so. The Chairman: I rather think this emanated from Captain M Coy, who in visiting the paupers in your district found out that it was a considerable time since you had seen some of them. iNt r. Dickenson; I never heard any of them complain, and I believe they would not have complained only that they were asked to do so by Captain M'Coy. The Chairman: Captain M'Coy has only done his duty as a guardian, and I must say I agree with him. Mr. Dickenson: It's very unusual for guardians to do so. I have never known it done before during the twenty years that I have been medical officer, and I think it's a little supererogation in Captain M'Coy to do it now. Captain M'Coy: I shall continue to do so until the medical officers do their duty. It's not likely they would come and complain to you (Mr. Dickenson) when their daily bread might depend upon it. Mr. Dickenson Can you trust them what they say I could go round them and get them to say anything to suit my purpose, and you could do the same. The Chairman This is rather besit'e the question- you have admitted, Mr. Dickenson, that you were some time without visting yourself. Mr. Dickenson: When I was ill. I have read over the instructions, and I find by Lumley-whom I have adhered to-that not only may an assistant, but even an apprentice may visit. I was quite surprised when I received the note, to hear that the subject was to be thus brought forward. Some altercation took place between Captain M'Coy and Mr. Dickenson respecting a pauper named Marv Jones, living in York-street. Mr. Dickenson admitted he had not seen her when wine was prescribed for her, but he stated that he ordered the wine himself after he had heard the nature of the case from his assistant. He maintained that it was impossible to carry out the law literally as it was laid down-and contended that there must be modifications to meet varying circumstances. The Chairman: You have stated thnt you have been ill, and according to your own ideas of the object of ap- pointing a substitute that was just the time to call upon the substitute to act Mr. Dickenson What would Dr. Griffith think if I were to send him to a cut finger ? The Chairman You might reply that it was required by the Poor Law Board. Mr Dickenson: That would be employing two medi- cal officers instead of one. and you know that in such cases the medical officer has to pay the substitute and the sa l ary is now so sma l l that it wou l d hardly be suffi- the salary is now so small th1t it wodd .y be suffi- cient for a labourer. But, however, I dont wish to shield myself behind that. Some further conversation of the same nature took place, in the course of which Captain M'Coy observed that the cases visited by the assistant ought to be marked with read ink and that had not been complied with. Mr Dickenson replied that that showed that the assistant had the power of visiting. Mr Lewis asked whether there was any difference in the case before them and the case of Mr Lewis investigated before Mr Doyle. The Chairman, Captain M'Coy, and some other Guardians said theie was not. It was distinctly laid down that the medical officers are to visit personally. Mr Dickenson: Then the law is very arbitrary. Captain M'Coy We did not make the laws. Mr Dickenson But you have the power of modifying them, and you do so in the case of other officers-re- lieving officers, for instance, entrust their duties to others. Several Guardians called out for an instance. Mr Dickenson said something about vagrants not 11. being able to get relief, then instanced an accident which occurred at the fair, which he attended, but did not get an order for until a week afterwards. It was ruled that these were not cases in point, and Mr Dick- enson was further pressed for instances of officers dele- gating their duties to others. He replied that he was not there to criminate any one, but he often had.great difficulty in obtaining orders. Captain M'Coy thought Mr Dickenson ought to be called upon to name the par- ties he alluded to as what he was then saying would come before the public. The discussion went on for some time longer, when the Chairman asked if any one else had any observations to make, when Mr Brough observed that he agreed with a remark already made that there was some little misunderstand- ing as to the interpretation of the law. Mr Dickenson feels that he is at liberty to employ his assistant. He interpreted the law in that way. He was disposed to think that in some of the points they were contending there was something very like straw-splitting. Law is law and ought to be obeyed, but he thought they ought to use a little common-sense in the interpretation of it. The Chairman: Where you here when Mr Lewis's case was investigated before Mr Doyle. Mr Brough No, I am sorry I was not. The Chairman: The Board were of the same opinion as you, Mr Brough, but when Mr Doyle attended in the case of Mr Lewis, the latter made a similar statement to that which Mr Dickenson had made to-day, when Mr Doyle laid it down emphatically that he was to visit personally. Mr Brough made some further remarks as to what Mr Dickenson bad read from Lumley," pro- ving that he was justified in the course he had taken, the clerk observed that what Mr Dickenson read was a note and not the law itself. Some further remarks were made. in the course of which Mr Dickenson said he should know how to act for the future, and shortly afterwards retired. GOING OUT.-The Chairman called the attention of the Board to the circumstance that there were no fewer than eleven applications on the master's book for a day's leave of absence. Alost of the guardians concurred that it ought to be put a stop to. Captain M'Coy said they were not satisfied with the day's leave of absence, but they mast go about begging afterwards. Mr Parsonage said that was what they wanted it for chiefly. Mr Brough said they were often up in his e nd of the country by eleven in the morning. Only cue or two were granted. Number in the house, 199. Vagrants relieved, 28.

QUALIFICATION OF A WELSH BISHOP The ability of a clergyman to speak Welsh is, of course, looked upon by Lord Derby and the Cymry party aa indispensable in the future Bishop of Bangor. The foilowing story is told of the acquaintance with Welsh of a gentleman whose name has been put forward most prominently as the future bishop. Some years ago when he was a country curate, and on a visit to his national school, he saw a little Welsh girl with remarkably long and ill- combed hair. He told her—in Welsh, of course,—when she went home she was to get her fur cut; using the Welsh word ffwrw (tur) instead of gwallt (hair). RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN THE TOWN HALL.—Ar- rangements have been entered into, by the Rev. J. G Short, minister of Penybryn Chapel, for holding re- ligious services in the Town Hall, every Sunday after- noon and evening, the rev. gentleman preaching at Penybryn in the morning, after which the chapel will be closed for the remainder of the day. We have already a church where the sittings are all fret;, we shall now have public worship in accordance with the principles of dissenters without the drawback of the pew system, when we shall see how far the masses will avail them- selves of the privilege. HorB STREET.-AMid the many improvements which we have lately witnessed in the important thoroughfare of Hope-street there are few, if any, that excel the transformation which Mr. Allmand has effected in the premises formerly occupied by Mr. Daniel Edwards, grocer. The alterations are now complete, and two of the most beautiful and imposing looking shops in Wrexham are now to be seen midway between the Town Hall and the Talbot. One is occupied by Mr. Allmand, for carrying on the grocery business, and the other has j Ullt been opened by Mrs. Allmand, who has removed from the shop she formerly occupied adjoining the North and South Wales Bank. THE New BISHOP OF BANGOR.—It is reported, though we cannot vouch for its correctness, that the Earl of Der. by has offered the bishopric of Bangor, rendered vacant by the death of the Right Rev. Dr Christopher Bethell, to the Rev Richard Bonnor Maurice Bonnor, M.A., of Christ Church, Oxford, canon of St Aaaph, and vicar of Ruabon, near Wrexham. The reverend gentleman gra- duated at Oxford in 1825, when he was second class in mathematics and third class in classics. In 1821 he was ordained by the late Dr Luxmoore. and after serving some minor offices in the church he was presented by Dr Carey, Bishop of St Asaph, to the vicarage of Ru&bon which, he haq feetf up $9 the preset time*

I Johnson. ) I TUESDAY. I The subscription Room as usual, at the ltoyal Hotel, was open on Monday evening, but betting was scarcely mooted until near midnight, when 5 to 1 was currently offered on the field. Po estT was in consider- able demand at 100 to 8, wh o those odds were easily obtained about Royal Sovereign. Master Bagot, Undet- hand, and Prioress had numerous friends i 1,000 to 15 was offered against Belle and Coroner, after being backed at the onset at 40 to 1, declined to 1,000 to 10 offered. The cause of this horse's sudden retrogression in price was said to be brought about by those gentle- men most immediately connected with him having been forestalled in the market. None of Mr. William Day's lot was touched upon. At an early hour this morning a large number of people had assembled upon the course and Doe banks-which included persons of all ranks. The weather was beautifullly fine all day, and the company as numerous as we remember to have seen upon the opening day of this meeting. The following are the details of the sport:— The Grosvenor Stakes- of 10 sovs. each, h, ft. with, 50 I added, for three-year-olda 6st 121b, tour 8st 71b, five 9st lib, six and aged 93t 31b mares and geldings al- lowed 31b.

At the third attempt a good start was made, East Langton taking the lead, the Argosy second, closely attended by Sedbury, who was about two lengths in advance of Mentmore. The lot proceeded in this order at a slow pace, until reaching the bridge turn, when the speed was a little increased. At the distance, when the steam was put on, all the riders being simultaneously at work. Sedbury came opposite the first part of the stand, and won cleverly by a length. The Argosy finished second, a head in advance of East Langton. Mentmore came up with a rush in the last few strides and finished a good fourth. Im- mediately after, passing the winning-post the Argosy fell and threw her rider, Plumb. Neither horse nor jockey < 1 sustained any material injury.

King William was the first to take the lead, Orcheill second, Belle third and Willie Wright fourth; and the favourite who got very badly off, was several lengths in the rear. King William laying second, Willie Wright third. This order was maintained until reaching the Dee side of the course, when Orchehill went into the second place, Precious Stone and Willie Wright at the same time improving their position; and the lot, upon reaching the eastern turn, had ran together. Half way up the straight run, King William took the lead, closely attend- ed by Orchehill, Belle having fallen into the third place. She, however, came against the finish, and won remark- ably easy by two lengths, the same distance separating the second from the third; Orchehill was a bad fourth about two lengths in advance of Willie Wright who was last.

A moderate start was made, Ade. laide at once taking a good lead, Cripplegate second, Defender third, Precious Stone fourth, Tight-fit fifth, and Bevis a long way last of all, a position which he never recovered throughout the race, This order was maintained at a good pace once round the course, when Defender went to the front and went by the judge can- tering in first three lengths in advance of Tight-fit; Ade- laide was third, beaten about four lengths; Precious Stone fourth, Cripplegate fifth, and Bevis a long way last, and did not pass the post.

The races terminated at five minutes past six o'clock [ WEDNESDAY, THE CUP DAY. This morning, which was looked forward to with much. interest by the racing public, was not one of the brightest yet fears of the weather being unfavourable were not very great. A dense atmosphere obscured the sky. and it was only occasionaliy that the sun looked cheeringly. The at- tendance of people upon the course was not numerous, and included few of the members of the ring. At the close of I the room, prior to going to the races, the following were I the current odds 11 to 2 Leamington—t. 9 to 1 Royal Sova.-nom. 13 to 1 Herne-t. 15 to 1 Pensioner—t. 100 to 6 Polstar-t. 20 to 1 Ilosabel-t. 25 to 1 Rara Avis-t.

By this time nearly all the special trains had performed their mission, and had safely landed thousands of peo p e from various parts of the kingdom. Yet there was an evident falling off in the attendance of the most respectable portion of turf patrons, and of couvse the county elections were freely spoken of as being the principal cause of their absence. Up to the time of the bell having been rung for the course to be cleared for the first race, the betting had undergone no change from those quotations we have pre- viously given, and the only incideut worth recording was the announcement that Defender and Solomon were scratch- ed, the former at twelve and the latter at half-past one o'clock.

Ro<? >rthorpe, Satinstone, Pensioner, Rara Avis, and Wrestler, forming the front rank past the stand, the favourite being close up.

On passing the stand Wrestler, Master Bagot, and Un- derhand were the Srst three, Royal Sovereign soon after- wards taking up the running, and maintained it until passing the bridge turn, when he died away, and left the command with Botany. From this poil.t Leamington began to go rapidly to the front, obtained the lead at the castle turn. was soon about two lengths in advance of any other horse in the race, and never afterwards allow- ed his speed to be lessened, and won in a canter by two lengths.

The programme of to-day's sport showed seven events to be decided. The Dee Stakes, however, were only likely to produce a race of interest; but, we regret to say, it was attended with most serious consequences, five of the horses out of the seven that went to the post having fallen at the castle turn, Rainbow being so much injured that he was destroyed on the spot, and Summer- aide wo. for some time lying on the course, but ulti- mately walked to the stable. Ashmall, the rider of Benbow, was conveyed to the Infirmary, much shaken and with sprained ankle. Wells was also taken to the Infirmary in a state of insensibility. The cause of the accident was as far as we could make out as follows:— Sommerside, in attempting to get the iaside place, struck into Actaeon's heels, and came down, the Maid of the Mist falling over her; Rainbow then came down, and struck Wells in the temples with one of her fore feet, otherwise he would have escaped comparatively unhurt.

LOVE AND DUTY—A marriage was recently announ- ced in our coloumna between a gallant son of Neptune and the daughter of a respected clerygyman of the Church of England. After the nuptial ceremony the happy couple left town to spend the honeymoon, but scarcely had thay departed when a telegram from the Admiralty reached the bridegroom's residence directing him instantly to join his ship in an English port, as it had been ordered to sail the following morning on for- eign service. No time was lost in despatching the tele- gram after the newly-married couple, whom, much to their consternation, it soon reached, but the order was imperative, and with that devotion to duty so character- istic of the British officer, the bridegroom at once tore himself away" from the arms of his weeping bride, and within three hours after his marriage was bowling along at the rate of some thirty to forty miles an hour en route to head-quarters, leaving his better half to return to the shelter of the parental roof till the arrival of more peace- ful timeg.-Scotsman. A tlRIDE AND WIDOW IN ONE DAY.—On Thursday last a lady and gentleman arrived at the George Hotel, Dale- street, Liverpool, from Coventry, to spend the honey- moon. It transpired that the happy couple were Mr John W-iight, farmer, ot Coventry, and his young bride, Miss Blockley, of Ulsthorpe, Leicestershire, they having been married that morning at Coventry. The gentleman, though in the happiest spirits, seemed to be rather in a delicate state of heath, and he complained of being unwell before he retired to rest. Some time afterwards a doc- tor was sent for, Mr Slack, who remained with him. Be- coming worse, Dr. loman, Dr Hodgson, and Dr Jones were also called in, but their efforts were unavailing, and he died at eight o'elock next morning, as is supposed from disease of the heart. The melancholy news was telegraphf-d to his frieud s at Coventry, and was received before the wedding guests had separated. &The body was removed from Liverpool on Saturday morning, and the disconsolate wife returned to the house of mourning a bride and a wi- dow.Liverpool Post. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT ROME.-The Roman cor- respondent of the Weekly Register writes as follows His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has been most assiduous in his attendance at the ceremonies of Hn)v Week. The poor clergyman, who interpolated the An/ lican liturgy with a prayer that he might be preserved from the dangers of Popery, will, I fear, have E renew his supplications.

RUABON PETTY SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY. I I (Before J. H. Foulkes, Esq.) I In consequence of there being only one magistrate present the greater portion of the business was adjourn- ed to Wrexham on Monday week. MARRIAGE NOT PROVEN.—Charles Davies, an assist- ant in the shop of Mr. Evans, draper, Cefn Mawr, was summoned for neglecting and refusing to support his wife and three children, who are now chargeable to Ru- abon parish. Mr. Charles Roberts, assistant overseer, proved the chargeability and produced the order of the board for the proceedings. Cross-examined by Mr. Buck- ton, who appeared for the defendant. The name of de- fendant's wife is Elizabeth. There are three children, the name of the eldest is Ann. She is three years and a half old. I have no evidence of the marriage t,(% pro- duce. They have been living apart about a year and a half. His wife has had a child about a m mth ago. Mr Buckton considered that there was no case, in which the court concurred. STEALING HAM.—J oseph Davies, collier, was in cus- tody charged with stealing a pound and a half of ham from his lodgings, in Rhosymedre, the property of a man named Deeley. From the evidence of Deeley and his wife it appeared that the prisoner left the house early on the 26th inst, and after he had gone they found a pound and a half of ham missing, cut from the ham banging on the t 'p of the house. P C. Hick apprehend- ed him at his work and found the ham in his possession. Prisoner said he bought it at the shop of Mr Morris. Discharged in consideration of having been in custody since Wednesday week. John Jones was fined 5s. and costs on the information of P.C. Humphreys, for being drunk in the Rhos. AN ESCAPB FROM THE LOCK-UP.—On Monday last, a man named William Johnson, who was in custody on a charge of drunkenness and assault managed to make his escape. His freedom was of but short duration, for he was shortly afterwards apprehended by P.C. Hum- phreys in a public-house in the Rhos, in the act of boasting of the skill no had shown in effecting his escape. BAPTIST CHAPEL, CHESTER STREET, NEW ORGAN — A new organ hdt! recently been erected in the Baptist Chapel, Chester-street, in this town, by Mr Butterworth, of Chester. We believe the instrument, so far as it has been tested, has given every satisfaction, and is likely to prove a valuable auxiliary to that portion of divine wor- ship, which has of late years received more of that at- tention to which its importance entitles it. Sermons were preached on Sunday last on the occasion of open- ing it by the Rev E. Wilkes, of Oswestry, and collections made towards paying for it. ACCIDENT.—An old man, named William Morris, on going home on Saturday night last, missed his way and fell over the rock, by the chapel in Poolmouth, into a croft 39 feet below the road, belonging to Mr. Capper. Mr. J. Kenrick Lewis was sent for and found that his right thigh was broken and right shoulder dislocated. He is now going on well. "AN EVENING WITH CHARLES DICKBNS."—On Tuesday evening last ilf r. W, Chevalier, gave an enter- tainment in the Town Hall, in aid of the fun-is of the Wrexham Literary Institute, called An Evening with Charles Dickens." It comprised-Charles Dickens—his popularity—the secret of it—his works—his peculiarity of style-the life-like individuality of his characters- his humour-his pathos—his genial spirit—Charles Dickens and Tom Hood-their similarity-Charles Dickens and Thackeray-a comparison-the influence of his wtitings-illustrations-Fickwiok-Sam Weller- Mr. Weller, senr.LUrs.- Weller 2nd-Mr. Stiggins- alias the Shepherd-alias the red-nosed man-and other celebrated characters from the Pickwick Papers—One Chirp from the Cricket on the Hearth—The Death of Little Dombey. The attendance we regret to say was very meagre.

Thorough-bred Mares 6 Guineas Half-bred Mares 2 Guineas The Groom's Fee of 2s. 6d., to be paid at the first time, and the remainder at the last time round. He is dark brown without white, 15 hands 3 inches high up. on short legs, large bone, with immense substance His stock is very promising and can be seen in the neigh bourhood of Baschurch, Oswestry, and Welshpool. He is by Coronation, (winner of the Derby) out of Sprite by the Mole; her dam, Amiable, by Orville, &c &e. Coronation by Sir Hercules, out of Ruby, by Ru. bens. Sir Hercules, by Whalebone, out of Peri by Wanderer, &c. This proving him to be one of the n. fashionable bred horses in the kingdom. In 18-50 he won the Welter Cup at Manchester a Plate at Newton the Stand Handicap at Sutton Parki the Lancaster Stakes at Radcliffe; was only beat by a head for the Autumn Welter Cup at Manchester; won the Trades- man's Welter Cup at Chester, 1851; was only beat by a neck for the Gold Cup at Croxon Park won the Ches- hire Welter Cup at Cheater was beat by a head for the Queen's Plate at Chester was only beat by a head for the Queen's Plate at Shrewsbury won the Snerwood Handicap at Nottingham, carrying 11 stone 81bs., beat- ing a large field of horses.

N.H.-He is perfectly sound, in every respect, and free from roaring, which is a very essential thing for breeders to look to. If health permits, GENERAL SALE will attend the following places.—Monday, through Ruyton, Mount- ford's Bridge, to Baschurch for the night; Tuesday, Middle, Burton, Cocksbutt, Ellesmere, Bradeneith, and Hanmer; Wednesday, Malpas, Tallen Green, Tilston, to Holt for the night; Thursday, Pulford, Wrexham, and to Bangor for the night; Friday, Overton, Penley and home the remainder of his time. TO COVER THIS SEASON, 1859, That Splendid Thorough-bred Horse, "YOUNG DUTCHMA N," (Late Buculic,) THE property of Mr. E. Foulkes, Red Cow Inn, Os. westry. £ s. d. Thorough-bred Mares 6 6 0 Halt-bred Mares 3 3 0 The Groom's Fee 2s. 6d., to be paid the first time and the remainder the last time iound. YuUNG DUTCHMAN was not by the Flying Dutch- man, his dam, the Farmer's Daughter, by Muley Mo- locb, also the dam of Speed the Plough, the only horse that ever beat West Australian, and one of the Bound- est horses on the turf. fhe Flying Dutchman won 15 times, amounting to 19,325 sovereigns, and now covers at 30 sovereigns each mare. Bay Middleton, his grand sire, was never beaten, and won upwards of 10,000 sovereigns, at 3 years old. Muley Moloch was by Mu. ley, out of Nancy, by Dick Andrews, the dam of the fa- mous Longwaist, and was the sire of the matchless mare Alice Hawthorn. Muley was by Orville, (winner of the St. Leger,) out of Eleanor by Whiskey, the only mare, except Blink Bonny, that ever won the Derby and Oaks. It will thus be seen, that the Young Dutchman com- bines all the beat strains of blood on the British Turf. He met with an accident, injuring his hock, which pre- vented his starting for his numerous engagements. He is a beautiful dark bay without white, with immense substance, upwards of 16 hands high, 6 yeats old, and allowed, by competent judges, to bo one of the finest young horses of the day. N.B.—He is remarkably good-tempered, perfectly sound, and free from ioaring, which is very issential for breeders to look to. Igg" Ellesmere every Tuesday, and he will attend Ruabon every Saturday, middle of the day. STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND CANADA AND THE WESTERN STATES OF AMERICA.
