OUR readers will perceive that we give this Week a lengthened report of the proceedings at the Annual Meeting of the Provincial (Welsh) Insurance Company. We have great pleasure in inserting the following notice of the Com- I pany extracted from the Oswestry Adver- tiser "I WE presume there are few people to be met with who would not cordially agree with the princi- ple of Insurance, yet. we fear hundreds may be found who only believe in the principle as a theory. We have often been amazed to hear of intelligent men, notorious for their care of the 1 main chance, vho still risk all by the one act of negligence which leaves their property at the mercy of the flames, and may, at any moment, place their names in that un- desirable column of The Gazette, properly known as broken English.' This negligence is sometimes caused by procrastination, or the want of decision between the claims of rival companies, but oftener —especially in rural districts—the reason why peo- ple do not insure, is, because the subject is not pro- minently brought before their notice. It has been one of the endeavours of the Provincial (Welsh) Insurance Company,' whose eighth annual meet- ing we record in another column, to bring the sub- ject to the homes of numbers, who otherwise would scarcely have had an opportunity of thus securing to themselves the value of their property, in the event of loss by fire. The agents, whose exertions lave been untiring, have had capital credentials to present, in the names of the Directors of the Com- pany, and the confidence of Welshmen has been won by the fact that the names on the directory are not only those of men of capital, but of their 'neigh- bours, whose interests are in some degree identified with their own, and whose exertions for the good of the Principality, in many ways, have endeared them to the hearts of the Cymri. From the re- port we gather that in the Fire Department, the policies issued during the past year number 4,449, and the premiums payable thereon amount to £ 9,127 13s 8d. The total number of policies issued in this department now number 24,830, and the gross income on these, last year, was;618,767 Is lid. The claims in the same year amounted to £ 8,793 Is 8d. The fire claims are thus consider- ably less than 50 per cent. below the income. The I Provincial (Welsh) Insurance Company' has also a Life Department, in no less flourishing a position. During the past year the new policies numbered 559, and the premiums amounted to zC41370 15s 6d., making in all from the commence- ment, 3,262 policies, on which the gross income of last year amounted to L18.508 I Is. In this depart- ment the claims last year amounted to t2, 100, which we are told is less than half the sum paid in the preceding year. With such a gratifying balance sheet we do not wonder at the Directors recom- mending the payment of a dividend on the paid-up capital, of 7^ per cent., nor that they could pass a Tote of thanks to their indefatigable secretary. Mr JJillon, for to his energy the Company owes much of its prosperity. Without disparaging other com- panies, we must say, that there are none which ap- pear to us to possess such claims in this district, sind we cordially invite our neighbours to do, what. 1'1 the way, we have done ourselves,-place their property under the care of this flourishing Com- pany/^

BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT.…
BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT. I MONDAY. FEB. 25, 1861.—Before the Mayor and Ex- mayor. (Capt. M.'oy was also ou the bench a portion t of the time.) SHOP XftTING. I Ann Martin, of Burton, near Jtossett, was in custody charged with steal-n- a hat from tho shop of Mr Jones, hatter, Hope-street, Wrexham. (The prisoner hal pre- viously been covicted of stealing a basket of goods from the shop of Messrs. Timmis, Timmis, & Co. High.street, Wrexham.) Mrs. Jones, wife of Mr. Jones, hatter, stid :-I know the prisoner very well. Se came into our shop on Thursday last, and was there abjut ten minutes. She came to buy a hat, an 1 said it was for a young gentleman. She looked at several hats and bought one, tor which she paid eightpence. I left her once or twice while stie was in tie shop. I left her once and went to the other end of the shop to gat change. I cannot swear whether she had a basket with her or not, but she had a shawl on. I did miss the hat the moment after she bad g,,ne, but I did not make a proper search for it until Nadin called in the shop to ask whether we had lost anything. It was about tan minutas pait four when Nadin came in, and the woman had only just that mo- ment gone out. Nadin came back about five o'clock with the woman iu custody. She was crying, and took the money out of her pocket and asked us to take pay for the hat. She then said she had put the money down on the counter when she was in'the shop before, and added that she supposed 1 did not see her. I said I did not. Threu and sixpence is the price of the hat, but she put 3s. down when she came in. She was then taken away by Nadin. I am sure she did not leave the money on the counter when she was in tho shop before. (There was a hat and cap produced by Serjeant Nadia besides the one bought by the prisoner, but Mrs. Jones only swore to the hat.) Sergeant Nadin was next called-. He sli.id :-On Thursday last I was on duty at the police station, close by Mr. Jones's shop. I saw the prisoner going into Mr. Jones's shop, and knowing her character, I went into Mr Bealo's shop and watched her through the window. While she was in the shop I saw her peep out of the door several times. She came out-in about a quaitsr of an hour, and I noticed that she bad something under her lett arm, and a paper ba.- under her right aria. I went into Mr. Jones's shop, and in consequence of what I learnt there I went after the prisoner up Hope-street, j I met her by the llainbow. I said nothing to tier then, but I went to the public-houso. I did not find anything. I then went to the Seven Stars, and as I got there I saw i her by a cart, putting something into a biskat. I asked her was that her basket and she said it was. I then said I want to see what you htive got in it. She said It's very strange 1 can never come to Wrexham without the police following inc." I found this hat in the basket and inside of it another little one. I charged her with steal- ing the hat, and said she mast come back with me to Mr Jones's. On the way she said she was very sorry she had taken it, butshe did not know she had it until she got by the Talbot. 1 took her ti, Mr. Jones's slop, and she said I am sorry I took it w ithout paying for, and she then offered the money fur it. I then took her into custody. The bench resolved upon hearing ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST THE SAME PERSON before they came to a decision. Sergeant N adin said While st-arching the prisoner's basket I found a pair of new boots, which I produce. I asked the prisoner wliere she got them from, and she said a youni( womanfrom Caergwrle bad given them to her to take to her house until she called for them. I then asked her did she kaow the young woman and she said she did not. I asked what part of Wrexham it was she gave her the bOlJt, and she said she did not know. I asked her was there any one present at the time, and she said tio. I then charged her with stealing tiem, and she said she had not done No. Miss Alice lloeknill said the prisoner was in our ahop on Thursday last. She was also there a fortnight last Thursday, when she ordered a pair d boots. Whea she came last Thursday she to -k hold of a pair boots. It was about half-past four when she came there. Whea t went to her she said she wanted a pair of shoes for a boy 13 years of age, to -,o to school in. She then came in and looked up at some boots hanging on the top of the shop, and asked me to reach them down. I did so and she said they were tno small. I put the boots back a;ain then. She then looked at a pair by the door and said they would o. She then drew my attention to some blueher boots, and said her husbaad was in the potatoa market, and she would brid- him to look at them, and she would buy the boy's hoots at the same time, if htr husband liked them. A lady came into the shop just theu, and I had to leave the prisoner to attend to the lady. I saw the prisuaer leave the shop a little while after. She did not return at all. The boots pioduced are not punched-if we had s.)Id them we should un- questionably have punched them. I missed a pair of boots from the nail about an hour after the prisoner had been there, but I did not think then that they had been stolen. The value of the b jots is 5s 6d. William Lloyd (father of the proprietor of the shop was next examined.) lie said be saw a woman talking to liiss Hockaall on the day in the question but he could not swear that the prisoner was the woman. His evidence was not deemed of any itaportance-in consequence of which he was not bound over to go to the quarter sea- sions. In reply to the bench Mis3 Hocknall stated th&t thero was nothing said about the boots ordered a fortnight be- fore. She (witness) said nothing because tho boots were D'-t ready, and she was glad the prisoner did not name them. The usual charge was then read to tho prisoner, who in reply said I am not guilty of stealiug the boots," but said nothing in the caaa of the hat. She was then committed to take her trial on both charges at the next quarter sessions. 'U 1. STEALING A SHAWL. iuary Jones formerly an inmate of the Workouse) was charged with Eteaiing a shawl, the property of Mary Roche, who lodged with the prisoner at the houso of I Mary Gee, Pentrefelin, but the prisoner had left some time ago. Toe prosecutur missed the hawl on Tueadny, the 4th inst. Mary Gee said the prisoner called on tho Monday before the shawl was missed anu took tea wi h her, and was leit in the house alone tor some time. lian- nah Evans said she pledged the shawl for the prisoner for sixpence. Prisoner pleaded guilty and was com- mitted to gaol for 14 days. I I 6TKALING STRAW. John Griffiths was in custody charged with stealing straw from a stack belonging to Mr. John Jones, slate merchant. Sergeant Nadin said-From information received on Wednesday, I went to a stack of barley straw in the Feathers field, where some straw had been missed from. I traced straw from the stack, through the Eagles' Meadow, Mount-street, Chester-street, and Holt-street, to the White Horse. I went into the yard and found it large bundle of straw by the back door-about threo quartprs of a hunored weight. I went to ask Mr. Zajh. ary whose straw it wi-s and he said Jack Winter (mean- ing the prisoner) brought it there. I asked where tie was and he said he wai up the yard cleaning the pig-stiea. I went to him and said Well, John, where did you get this straw from ?" He said 1 had it from a man from Cheshire, by the Cock I then said I charge you with stealing it from Mr. Jones's stack in the Feathers' lield. I theu took him into custody. On the way I cilled his attention to the straw lost along Holt-street He theii said he had it Iro n a mnii in Chester-street. In defence prisoner said he had the straw trom a man with a cart in York-street, but could not tell who he was. Mr. Jones, the owner of the straw said he had been pilfered to a large extent from the stack in question and he htd been told that the prisoner had often been seen selling straw. Sergeant Nadin said that Mr. Zaehary told him that he had often bought straw from him. He then pro- duced three samples of straw-one sample taken from the lot he found in prisoner's possession-the other from what he had picked up by the way-the other from the stack-all of which were evidently part of the same lot of stra Mr. Jones said he had been selling this straw at 3a. tho owt.-tlij valtia wad, therefore, 2a. 34. Com- mitted to gaol for 7 days.

The whole of the officers were called io and interrogated as great length by the chairaian, and from the replies given by the medical officer, it appeared that there was now only one girl remaining uncured. The Chairman cau- tioned the whole of the olhciala to be muie cautious aad watchful for the future. A guardian also called the attention of the Board to the circumstance ot cutaneous disease being very prevalent in the lthos and its neighbourhood, produced, be had been informed by children being vaccinated with matter iupregnated with the seeds of certain couipliints.

The men were all called into the board room, and asked ta explain thl-tr conduct. John Moriis said lid never ret used tu work; iMward Jones said he always obeyed all oi-.lers, and did nut make any uttempt tt) get out; Edward Williamssaid the pump was dry, and they were waiting for the water to come. Mrs. Bragger came in the room and turned them ail out to go to the pump, when there was no water in the pump. A man named Eilis said they made no attempt to get out, for they oouid have done so if they liked, as the doors were all open, and the porter told them to go to the devil. What they wanteu was a little warm- ship Peter Warburton said he had nothin- to say-Etiey were all going (.ut and he thought he would go. After they had retired the guardiaus resolved that none of the offenders should be allowed a day'd leave, in ttle event of their asking for one, during the next six montus. BEKSHAM BAIi&NCE.

JONES IN RHYL.—During a ramble through the principality in the year 1828, when I visited this neighbourhood, Rhyl, consisted of one newly-erected Dotdl, a few scattered red brick bouses, marking out an intended street-a fisherman's white-washed hut or two, picturesquely stuck here and there—a whole half dozen or more of unwholesome-looking strangers sauntering about the health' breathing shore—and though last, not least in interest to a lover Of natural beauty, a disturb- ed multitude of honest well-fed Sea Gulli, who seemed to utter most indignant complaints against unwelcome intrusion on what they naturally enough deemed their own ancient domain by right of birth. a Wba: Rhyl bai since become needs scarcely a passing notice of mine- her present appearance being daily familiar to you all. Her spacious strecta--her princely mansions—her public buildings-and her pleasant parades: have they not rendered her famous at home and elsewhere, as the Brighton of our beautiful Vale of Clwyd? Something more. The small, but choice gathering of her best pen- pie which. surrounds me this eveuing, to honour with their serious attention, my discourse, Oil a theme so purely intellectual as Poetry and Poeis, will proclaim .L. iru mpe l trumpet-tongued to educated communities that there ia an intelligence in Rhyl wuich gazes beyond mere brick and mortar celebrity, and that you, my gracious friends 'I :mi(lat all your material prouerty, h?e wisely remem- bered, Mall liveth not b y breid alone." Tile Chris- tian's prayer is ever thus—" Give us this day our daily I bread." Earth and heaven are comprehended in those (jod-given words. Material bread for the perishing body, and living bread for the ever-during soul. Such is in verity the daily bread for which we have been 1 taught to pray.—Tho.\ Cambria Jones's Discourse on Poetry and Posts. MOLD. ORGANISTS EXTRAORDINARY. .I. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. O11,—Would you believe it, wo have had in our church, in the short space of three years, no less than five or six organists. I think the salary is only 130 a- year, but his iueome is to be made up by teaching pupils he may obtain, which is regarded as a kind of frejiioM 01 the clergy, and these consists of the children of tiie- senters and churchmen. A few weeks agc, onr new or- ganist was dismissed and a new one apjointfd; as the former gentleman was uaiveraally beloved, and bein an excellent teacher, the parents of the children stroIlgly urged him to remain; he complied with thuir s-diciu- tion, and resolved to remain, and retained the whole ot hi pupils but two. M Don't you t!iink that the parson's wiil try and work him out?'1 said a friend to me a few days ago. "x^o," replied I, I should think ttiey wiil not seek to t.ke the bread out of a man's mouth." I would strongly advise the new organic to stick to h's or^an bagging for pupils ,is not, indeed, an honour- able vocation. Jifold* A CHUUCH> £ \N.

Jones, Luther Jones, J. Davies, Har rison, and Bell. So highly was Mr. Li, ebi esteemed, that most ot the principal shops closed, anu pi.. „ suiences appeared with their blinds drawn down. Al the church gates the procession was met by the vicar anri the choir, the males bare-headed, and the femalei dressed in deep mourning, aid upon entering the church, the organ played the Dead March," in Saul, which fell on the ear most solemnly, and brought tears to many eyes. Then the 39 th Psalm (Batteshill, in A minor,) was mas- terly sung by the choir. The services were read by the vicar in a most impressive manner, and the tremulous voice of the reverend reader betrayed the depth of his feelings, whilst as a servant of Christ, and an intimate friend of the departed, he was reading the sublime burial service of the Church of England. After this was ever, the body was conveyed, headed by the choir, to its "final home," by the side of his affectionate wife (who died on the same day ten years ago), in the family vault in the new cemetery. May he rest in peace and may the blessings of heaven rest on his swert and amiable orphan. It is but right to state that Mr. J. W. Jones did his duties as undertaker in a most creditable manner. BANGOR. I SEVENTEEN HEAD OF CATTLE BURNT.—A most dis- tressing and extensive fire took place on Friday morning (yesterday), at Bangor Bank farm, in the occupation of Mr. Vickers. It appears that as Mr. Mulliner, was re- turning home from Wrexham, on his way to Koyton, about half-pist one in the morning, he saw in the dis. tanco the reflection of a large fire, and he immediately rode towards it, when he discovered the out-buildings and four stacks on fire, belonging to Bangor Bank farm. Mr. Mulliner immediately roused Mr. Vickers, and the inmates of the farm, but it was too late to save any of the valuable stock.—when Mr. Mulliner first arrived on the scene, the roof of the out-bdildings had fallen in, and the stacks were all simultaneously burning. We regret to add that the whole of the cattle, consisting of seven- teen head, were entirely destroyed, being burnt to a cinder, also three valuable horses, and two stacks of hay, one of wheat, one oats, and one beans. Mr. Walters, of Baagor, was early on the spot rendering most valu- able aid, so was Captain Panton. Mr. John Clay, of the Dongery, was exceedingly active, and everywhere staying the progress of the fire. It would bo promatij i e to state any conjectures as to the cause of this most de- plorablo fire, but there appears little doubt, it is the work of an iucenuiary. Mr. Vickers, wo are glad to state, is partially insured in the Boijal." 1- CAERGWRLE. I FATAL ACCIDENT.—llu Monday last, as Mr. Thomas Hughes, landlord of the Hdf-way-house, Caergwrle, was returning home with a load of coals; on descending from the shaft (where he had been riding); he fell on the road, and the wheel^passiug over him, he. was killed on the spot.
•THE ANTI-CRURCH RKTE VICTORYI…
•THE ANTI-CRURCH RKTE VICTORY I IN THE COMMONS. NOTWITHSTANDING the assiduous exertion of I the Tory whip, and the Disraeli cry of No sur- render, and in spite of the efforts put forth by the organized hypocricy," as the Times aptly designates the politico-clerical band, which seek to perpetuate one of the most unrighteous ex- actions of modern times; the friends of church- rate abolition have achieved a triumph in the Commons, and have carried the second reading of Sir John Trelawny's Bill for tocal and im- mediate abolition, by a majority of fifteen in one of the largest houses that has assembled for some time. Although this majority is not so large as we might have reasonably expected, it is nevertheless, powerful enough to carry the Bill to the Upper House, where we hope it will meet with a better fate than it received on a former oc- casion. At any rate, success, even in that quarter, is only a matter of time, as the lords will be compelled to succumb—as they have in other instances to the will of the nation. While, however, we are strongly favourable to the im- mediate abilition of the impost; we, at the same, firmly believe that its continuance will he pro- ductive of much good, considered with reference to the great question of religious liberty and I equality. Hence, Dissenters have nothing to lose .by the agitation—but everything to gain, and if the Abolition Bill be not passed during the present session of Parliament-we would strong- ly urge the course suggested by a leading article in the Tinieq.-What if all the Dissenters and a good may Liberal Church people of England were to resolve simultaneously-say. next August—to pay no more church rates ? Considering that the rate has always been vol- untary in its amount, and has latterly been de- clared altogether voluntary as regards the ma- jority of the vestry, and tiince many parishes won't pay or don't pay, and nobody can make them pay, and since in every parish it is well known that any man may avoid paying the rate if he will only do it quietly, there would be nothing very seditious or otherwise extraordin- ary in such a simultaneous refusal. And would not such a combination be successful ? By a Parliamentary return issued it appears that in the year 1827, the rate yielded zC519,307, but that in the seven years ending April, 1S59, it averaged only f,263,709, so that the amount of the rate has decreased in a period of 32 years, by the enormous sum of £ 255,598 We be- lieve the rate for 1860, barelv reached £ 250,000. Surely this is not a lar-ge sum for one of the richest churches in the world to meet! There are but few persons willing to contribute to a cause they disapprove of. There is a large section of the clergy of the Church who hold principles identical with those enunciated by Dr. Wiseman, who circulate books containing prayers addressed to the Virgin Mary. On the other hand, there is the rationalistic party in the Church, who denied the inspiration of the Bible -who ignored the great atonement, and who teach principles subversive of all revealed truth. Yet, with these facts before us, we are urged and entreated by some fact vicar-who may be for what we know the son of a Dissenting cobler to pay church rates. No wonder this impost has become obnoxious to liberal and evangelical Churchmen. No wonder they prefer being summoned before the magistrates rather than pay money to support error—no wonder they join the Dissenters in order to prevent rates be- ing levied-especially, as in a great many in- stances where rates are so levied-they are in part appropriated towards the erection of crosses, which are so opposed to the Protestant feeling of the nation. The universal cry of these nota- j bles is, The Church is in danger,"—Oh, it is } not the Church that is in danger, but the enormous emoluments of the Church which are so coveted. Let the rich archbishops, bishops, deans, rectors, and vicars, devote a portion of their enormous wealth and income towards the repair of their churches and the decent ceiebra- tion of divine worship, and not put their hands in the pockets of poor Dissenters for the money. It must come to this. The day of compromise has passed never more to return-now, there is I aio possible settlement of this question but by the total and final abolition of the rate. I
WREXITAM COUNTY COURT.j
WREXITAM COUNTY COURT. WEDNESDAY. FEB. 27,18G1.—Before E. L. Richards I Esq., Judge. There were upwards of 120 cases entered into court, I several of which were settled out of court, and the mal jority of those which came on for hearing were of the usual description, and therefore, possessed no feature of public interest. EVAXS V THOMAS. I I In this case the plaintiff, as executor, of the late Mr. Godfrey Evans sued Mr Wm. Thomas, of Holt, for the sum of JE2 balance of account due since 1S48. The de- fendant han given notice of set off, but Mr. Jones for the defence on cross-examination of the plaintiff, elicited that tho debt was contracted hy the defendant to Mrs. ¡ Evais, the widow of the testator before her marriage with tile latter person and whtn her nane was Mn. D-an. Mr. Jones thereupon argued that the debt being a chose in action which had not been reduced into DOs- session in the life of GoJfrey iivans did not pass to his ftxecutor. In thia his Honour concurred, and gave judgment for defendant. I PUBLIC-HOUSE BROIL. I Ibis action was brought by Uhailes Jones, a chimney- BW-fper, IIJ years of age, to recover damages for an as- J sault and tearing up of his clothes by another lad of the ¡ same age. of the name of Edward Jones, Pnfi a member of t ie same craft. In answer to questions put by his Hunour it appeared that plaintiff and defendant were drinking ia the parlour of th", Crown pliblic-hoiis in t'-iis town at 10 o'clock, about a fortnight ago whende- i-.Ildailt without any provocation assaulted pl-tilitiff and tore his coat aud waistcoat. A witness was called, wh. se cviJence in no way tended to prove the assault, he con- tinually said he saw nothing. He was complimented by his Honour as beinp: a very intelligent man, and when reminded by the complainant about fire aud tongs, he said Yea, I stw him tane tire towards your legs." The aefence was that it was Lue plaintiff who first assaulted him, but in cross-examining tile last witness defendant asked, "Did not the fire fill from the tons before it came near plaintiti ?" Two witnesses were called for the jteuce, their evidence was contradictory, and did not ahow on whose part the assault was first given.

Mr Acton appear for Smith, and contended that the sheep belonged to Messrs Humphreys and Wylde. but his honour ruled that it was a condition in the contract, that they were to be at his risk I until the 24th of December. Mr Kershaw was cross- examined respecting the fences, &(, and two witnesses were called, neither complainant nor witnesscll knowing I on wnat day of the momh the sheep were driven out of the field, and the case was withdrawn.

Mr Eoherts stated that Mr Cordingley purchased some property at Shordley, in 1856, and that he instrticted him to collect his rents. This was disputed by Mr Acton, who stated that tho complainant had voluntarily taken upon himself to do these duties, and after a sharp set-to between the legal gentlemeu, it was ultimately agreed to refer the case to arbitration, Mr T.

ICOfttiESPO s>TDiS N CE
COfttiESPO s>TDiS N CE i GREAT WES TERN RAILWAY. I To the Editor of the l/enbighshv e Advertiser. I Sir,—My attention has been called to some recent oommunicationa in your paper, in which my name is mentioned with rfernce to the Great Western Railway, as though under the present system of management 1 was in the enjoyment of special privileges and protec- tion. The Company have bound themselves to afford to me and my tenants facilities for the conveyance of minerals, the same as are shown to any other parties. I believe it is a common law obligation upon carriers to serve all their customers alike. In case of misunder. standing between us, we have agreed to submit our dif- ferences to arbitration, which is at least as beneficial to te directors as to me. So far from having protection and privileges, I have a cause of complaint in common with the public^ that the dlrct, ra should make a bye-law t) the effect that no one shall be entitled to the n.inimum rate of tonnnge for the carriage of coal, unless they shall send 100,000 tons in the year along the line. The Ruabon Coal Company are I believe the only parties benefitted by this arrangement in this district, which is therefore a preference and ad- vantge to them as direct as if they were charged in terms a lower rate of tonnage than their neighbours. If this can be done consistently with the letter, it is manifestly an evasion of the spirit of the law and consider- ing the constitution of the Ruabon Coal Company, the whole t iing is particularly objectionable. I am, Sir, your obedient servaol; R. MYDDELTON BIDDULPH. Chiik Castle, Feb. 23, 1861. LLANGULLEN. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Fir,—I am one of the number of the unfortunate batoh of tradesmen and others wh') were summoned and con- victed at Llangollen Petty Sessions, on Tuesday last, for hiviog illegal and defective weights in their possession. I am not going to complain to you about this, for I have the consolation of knowing that I am no worse than my neighbours," and when I looked round in court on the day in question, I saw that I was in very good com- pany. My object in troubling you with this lelter is to point out the difference in the price of justice in Llan- gollen and in Wrexhim, or perhaps I ought to say, in the hundred of Chirk and the hundred of Bromfield, and to ask you whether you can tell me the reason why ? Some time a»o, I noticed in your paper that a large number of persons had been summoned in Wrexham for having 11 short weights" as they are commonly called. I noticed also that the costs in every ca"e were 7s. 6d., while in Llangollen we were all charged 10s costs. This is what has puzzled me, and if I must tell you the truth, it has vexed me tooi and I think all we poor shopkeepers ought to have the thing explained. The question I wish to put is this, Why do we pay 10s. in Llangollen for the same amount of justice as can be bought in Wrex- ham fur 7s. 6d ? The question is a very fair one, and if you do not answer it, Mr Edit)r, I hope somebody else will in your LicAt paper. ONE OF THE CONVICTED. Llangollen, Feb. 27, 1861. THE iSTEXr MAYOR. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,-Ia answer to a letter appearing in your last week's impression, signed Young Burgess," but which I am led to beiieve is your own production, I think the writer might have found betler employmeut than to criticise the few words expressed by me at our convivial meeting at the Old Swan, upon the occasion of Captain M'Coy giving a supper and ball but Editors are droll fish as to the election of mayor, I do not think it much matters when or who are elected so "that the right man is put in the right place," and unless the aldermen and town councilors will come to an unanimous, hearty and honest resolve to support him in everything which faay be conducive to the general good of the inhabitants of the borough. Although Young Burgess" finds fault with tne few suggestions thrown out by me as to the worth and qualifications of Captain M'Coy for the office of mayor, in the very same paper you hold up Mr Maurice as a star of the greatest magnitude, and recom- mended him as a person in every respect qualified to be a member of parliament. This lookd rather inconsistent Mr. Editor, but I ask pardon, I should have said "Young Burgees." I cannot help thinking but that you, Mr. Editor, in a good measure answer the description of Burns' Saint- You are so righteous yourself, So holy and so golly, That you have nought to do but mock and tell Your neighbour's faults and follies." Wrexham. M. M'L [Our correspondent, like many others, has fallen into the error of confounding the "open column" for cor- respondents with the editorial column.]
