James Edtabury, an ex-county coart bamtt, was in cnttody charged with being drunk And dMorderty. Mr. Jones, ot the Cannon Inn) Abbot-street said-On Sat. uriay, between six and Mven o'clock Ediabury came to my house tery drunk, and I refused him any drink. He then commenced with some had language, and I ordered him out. then smashed a. glass, and I tried to get him out again. I tr!ed about twenty m:nutea then I eent for the poUce. EdMhury admitted being drank and waa fined 5s. and costs. t A FEMALE DETECTtYE. John Brnokes was in custody charged with attempting ta pick pockets on March fair day. Mrs. Nadin (wife of Sergeant Nadin) said —I was going up High-street on Saturday morning about eteven o'clock, and 1 saw a man and woman coming to meet me. The prisoner la the man, and 1 sav him get by the side of the woman &nd take hold of her pocket like that (describing how it wae done.) He saw me looking at 'him, then he luosed her dreaa and threw a part of hia coat over it, and then turned back I followed him-he never was more than a yard from tae. He went up the Golden Lion entry. He then tnrned back and Johneon (a police-officer) came, and said this is the man, Johnaon. The prisoner re- plied-mind what you are doing—I am a rospectabte man. Johaaon took him into caatody. Priaoner then croM-examined the witness in a way which indicated that he had bad some experifnce in such matters. He afterwards made a ttatoment tuserting that he came from Cheater, but he had a brother in Shrewsbury, a journey- man printer. He professed himself to be a voctdiat, and was last employed byMrDava), tn a violm ptayetat the Cheater theatre. Committed to gaol for fourteen j days. I I A. tUVENIt.B CJtPL,ltl'!A, I Mr. Uharles itdw&rdf, of the WeU House, wIn sum. moned by a little giM 12 years of age, for an assault. Complainaot\ in reply to questions put by the dark, told something like the following story:—I live in Wetl.at., BBM 'Mr. Edwards's home. A week on Saturday i saw Mr. Edwards. He came out of his own house, and I was on the wall looking at two girls playing hop acotch. He struck me with a stick. I fell down and he struck too !tga.in. I don't know what he struck me for. t wont home then. He hurt me, but there is no OMrk upon me. My father told ma to get the summons, the father here saoute'l out that Mr EdwArds made use of aome foul language at the time of the assault. Mr. Edwards then entered into in explanation. He said the girl had tild the ttuth, but not the whole truth. He was much annoyed every day by children playing by his hoHse and making holes in the road which he had just been catled upon to pay six or aeven pounds for re- pairing. He came out of the houae on the day in ques- tion to aend a lot of children away and they all went away except the defendant who dared him to aend her away. He then f:ave her a hit of a push and as she was ttandin)! on an inclined plain the OBeiilateJ a little and then went down. She did not sustain much h*rm, for he had seen her there many tintes since. He was as fond of children as any one and could put up with their little pecadilloes as weil as any one, but they did annoy him that day by the way they had been injuring the road, and the defendant in particular by the impudeuco she tet up. Case dismissed.

MONTHLY MEETING OF THE TOWN…
MONTHLY MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL* I The usual monthly iceeting of the Town Council was held in the Council Chamber at the GuitdhaU, on Wed- nesday last. Freeent :—The Mayor, A(denhen Painter, dark, and M'Coy; CouncHlora, T. Rowland) Davenport, Manuel Jones, Beale, Ovetton, W. Row)and, Bury. EvMS, and Rogers. Absent, Councillora Dickenson and the Rev. John Jonea. ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE TO HBR MAJESTY. I Before the commencement of the usual business the Mayor said he wished to make a remark with regard to the death of the Ducheas of Kent, and to auggest whether they ought not to express eome condolence on the occa- sion. They were doing eo in Cheater. It would be for the council to consider. Wrexham was called the me- tropolis of Noith Wales, and he thought such an event ought not to pass without notice. After a little conver- sation, it was agreed to form a Committee tor the purpose of drawing up, &n eddreM, and to hold an adjourned meeting ot the To\Vrt Council for the purpose of <Stxing the seal of the Borough to the same. THE BOROUGH SURVEYOR. Mr EvMt then rose for the purpose of moving that the Borough Surveyor have notice to vacate his oSiee. Mr Manuel Jones (interrupting) would it not be best, Mr Mayor, for the surveyor to retire before Mr Evans goes on ? Several members objected. Mr Evans then proceeded I have no personal animo- sity in this matter-far from it. I bring forward this motion entirely from a senae of public duty-on pure grounds of economy. Sitting here as we do from time to time to hear the accounts of the highway expenditure road, I begin to think that there is a littta reformation required. I have a fe* estimates here. which I wish to read. I have the hillhway expenditure of Oiwestry-also theexpendttureofWrexham. Oswestry is a town Vt:ry similar to our own-only not qnite so large. But there is not a better town in En<aud for good markets and fairs-taking the towna up to 20,000 inhabitants. In Oswestry, I find the highway expenditure .6220 159. 6d. while in Wrexham, for the aame period it is jEo6t 17/1 7d, making a difference of £24 1 2. Id. The )arj{c expendi- ture in Wroxham shova that there is not a due regard paid to economy, fn consequence of the large amount of money that M spent in thL) tay, the tnemcient manner the meat unrket n iO!\pbcted', together with the small exertion thdt ia made by the surveyor In the discharge of hia duties generally, I ata induced to mako this mo- tion. I he!teve it wcottd be otsjr to obtain a person better qualified to perfurm the dutiea of the omoe better than Mr Guottnow now does. I bfg t,) propoao that no- tice be given to Mr GllmlQOW to vacate his omco. Mr Rogers seconded the propose. He said that he thought when they adopted the Local Government Act gome tt'oe ago, tmt they did not know what they were doing,—they were all tuch novicea in the affair. And there were some parties in the Council then who wou!d have voted for any eu-n in aahties, until some check was put upon them. Besides, the Surveyor had much leas work now than he had at one timet when he used to interfere in all small erections, which he (Mr Rogers) always said he had no nght to dj. Now that he only had hatf the work, he thought the ratepayers ou6:ht to have the benefit of it by the aalary being Icw3!ed. AiaermMi Painter: This is Dot a motion for a reduc- tion of salary. Air Rogers No, stilt one thing on';ht to follow the ,nl other. There is another thing—the men were allowed to leave off at four o'clock on a Saturday. It't no wonder that the ratepayers complain. Alderman M'Coy said he had always been of opinion that it would be better to be without a surveyor under the Corporation so long as they had one under the Local Government Act, he brought a motion to that effect when he tirat became a member of the Council. Bat if the object of the motion before them was to get rid of the surveyor by a side wind, he contd not support it. Let them nrst *ay what he had done wrong-it would be very un-Engluh-like to discharge him without. If ha had any tanks,—and doubtless ho had ma"y—let them shew what they are. Before they dismissed him, let him have a proper trial. Alderman Painter said it did not appear to him that they were attempting to get rid of Mr Gummow by a sida wind at all-it was a very direct attempt, and he must say that the attempt was made on very insumoent grounda. With regard to the highway expenditure, that WM qune under Uie control at the Council and the High. way'tt Committee. Thfy could alter or red uce j<tst as they thought nt. Then as to having done this thin<; and having done the other thing—all had bsen done with the fui] consent of the Council, and everything that he did waf brought before them. He had the sanction of the Council for requiring the pLins complained of by Mr Rogera, and when hd was told it was nut required then he gave it up. It is very well known that a borough surveyor, from the very nature of his duties, must some- times cone into collision with persons, and on that ac- count the original Health of Town's Act did not give the local authorities the power of dismissing him. The ob- ject of that was obvious. It was necessary that the Sur- veyor should be able to carry out his duties in an inde- pendent manner, and in doing so he would no doubt make many enemies, and those enem'ea would be persona of property and inSuence, who might resent the inter- II fereoce of the Surveyor if they had aim in thfir power. Ho could not support the proposition of Mr Evans, be- cause it rested on iusnSniect grounds. Mr Ma.uel Jones spoke at great length in favour of Mr Evana'd motion. He said the Surveyor was doinf private work as an architect, instead of attending to. the stairs of the borough. He charged Miss Davies .E17 10j. lorworkhe did for her—then he g*ve her notice about the name of ttm street that was on her houae.thenhe complained to her of her trap doors timt were too high. MrJoaea then enumerated a lot ot other peraons whom the surveyor had Aoao work for eince he had been in omco, which he di'i not consider right or just. He Ihodei his worship would push that motion for the rate- payers to see who were in their favour and who were not. After sitting down, Mr Jonet roM again to state Bo'nething that he had forgotten, which was, that Mrs Roberts, wife of Mr Roberts, cooper, had asked him what was the decision of the Council about the smoke nuisance t'iat she complained of. She said she had been with Mr Gummow about it, and he told her to go to Manuel Jones. (Laughter), Mr Buty submitted that there had been no case made out against the surveyor—that it WM illegal to dismiss him without a cause, and if they did so, the surveyor wouid have hit remedy. Mr Manuel Jones said the Local Governttent Act staged that they could dismiss him at their leisure. He would show it Mr Bury if he liked. Mr Evans said they could dismiaa him at pleasure. Alderman Ctark aked the Town Cierk whether Mr Evans'a motion, with reference to the Surveyor, was a proper one. The Town Clerk faid it was. Alderman Painter s<nd it was unfair to bring the charges that had been brought against Mr Gmamow, when the things complained of Ind been done by him ith the full sanction of the uounci). Mr R.)Rera: There is no charge against him (laugh. ter). There l no specific charge. Alderman M'Coy said he tihould like to move an amendment. He moved that there should be a committee appointed to inquire into and report upon the highway expenditure of the past twelve months, with a view of seeing if anything could be done to reduce it. There appeared to him to be no charge made except the high- way expenditure. Mr Overton asked what length of streets in Oswestry Mr Evans'it statistics referred to-we have three tune* the tranio in the streets of Wrexham that they have in OswMtry. Air E.'an! only replied that they had the beat market regulation in the country there, and the marketa were attended by m"re peopi" than many other places. Mr Mauuel Jones referred to the highway expenditure of Mold. Several member said that was only in one street. AI- dertUM M'Coy said that oue was not often swept, for you were generally up to your anktea in mud in it. Mr Manucl Jones then referred to the conduct of the surveyor when the alterations were going on at the Queen-square. Mr Bury aaid they had heard that a dozen times before. The Mavor: Wetl, I do think that the money spent on the ruais is tremendous. Whether there is not a good system or what it is I cannot say, but something wants amending. Alderman Ctark said the expense WM enormous. Mr Beale said he thought the Htghway Committee could do the work of the snrveyur, or they mifht have a nominti surveyor, and let the Highway Commtt- teo do the rest. There were many c'tfnpiainta about the rate", and that not from peopto who were abie to p iy. He should be sorry to come there to aay a word against Mr Gumm"w or any other oBcer, but they must look at the expenditure which was inert.-a%inL7, when, as he had otten said before, they had not a ahot m the Incker. Look at those maps on the table (the survey of the borough just completed) that wa the begmmog of ati improvement that must )(0 oa. After d0!ne furthMr remark", Mr Beale said he would support Mr Evana'a motion on the grounds of economy. Mr Gasm'-w was a man of property and contd well aSo'd to do without the appointmettt. Several mumuers said this had nothmg to do with the qacstion. Mr. T. Rowtand ea'd he thought they ought to have a respectable man f)r aurveyor. He regarded what Mr. Bi-4 ie had just said mere as an argument for keeping tba.:t dismi:isiag Ir. Guoituow. 1: his dutlee hadbesn t..iminishcd ai had been stated, let them reduce hit Balttry. A!r. Bi-ale observed that they were all aware that undtF the -)L! law they did without a paid surveyor. A German Painter: We could do without man things—we coul<! do without counciDjra. Mr. Hey< ood: I should be very glad to sign my name to J.. without thci.n altogether. Mr F. Rowtand = That's all nonsenae. Mr. Beale: Tiere is -not. a more etScient man than MrCtunmuwfur the odje, nor one better up to the mark. I go for the motion merely ou the grounds of economy, After a a'oo.1 deal of further discussion of this charac- ter, M" Gum'now wai attowed to make a statement. Ho Mi'i hi< salary wm out .695 as had been smted—it w ta j690. With regard to doiu,4 work for other people be- sides the c&rpjraticn he would just say that he had done work for several besides <ho<<e named by Mr Manuel Jont: As to the expenditure un the highwaya he could inform them that ho had known 2406- spent on Wrex- hant Rpgn alone, now they had two townships and a portim of another. But there were ma.ny things in- cindcd ia the expenditure quoted by Mr. Rvans—Bucb aa cuttill the trt-nchea for ga. pipes. With regard to what Mre. Robfrts ha t sajd about hint sending her to ttOHMt JlJt. M 44iolli,;j ti,al tteuid (; t. h" "'q.. 'tr notilift Jones was constantly interfering with his duties, pai_ ticularly in Lloyd's case, that so much had been Mid tioularl YIPE denied that he e'er ?JaM?e? the watt at Queen-square to stand, he had nothing to do do with it. At the same tithe he wou!d state that it ought to have etond, and would have stood if competent person* had had the management of it. A wall had stood by the Provincial new buildings where there WM a much deeper cutting and in much more dangerous ground. But he denied that he ever galatiteed it. Alderman Clark objected to any person being ridiculed -Mr Gummow had used galantee twice. Mr Manuel Jones said he did not say galantes. A ahoft parley then took plaee about the presence of the Surveyor at council meetings, Mr Evamt objecting, but after a little Inquiry It transpired that a short time ago the council had ineiated upon the surveyor being present Mr Heywood said he agreed with hit friend Mr Beale that they could do very well without a surveyor at all. They might get a person at a nominal salary to walk about like Mr. Gummow does and see that the street* are awept, or the Highway committee might look to it. Mr. T. Rowland: Are you prepared to leave your easiness to watch the men sweeping the streets ? Mr. Heywood replied that he said that they could ap- point a nominal surveyor. Alderman Painter: Absurd. A little personal altercation then paacod between Mr. Heywood and Mr. T Rowland. The Council then divid- ed, the following being the reault— For Aid. M Coy'a motton— Alderman M'Coy Alderman Fainter CounoiUora W. Rowland „ T.. Rowland „ Davenport „ <'vertoa Bary For Mr Evana s motion- r Alderman Ctark t I CouncUlora Evans „ Rogei-s Bpale I It M. JonM „ Heywood I The numbers then stood aix for diamisting the Sur- veyor at once—seven for an inquiry iuto the alleged high expenditure before diamiaaing him. The Town Ctetk then intimated to the Mayor that he had not voted. The Mayor: WeH, I think we are moving right. I realty think there it something wrong. I don't know where it is exactly. I mutt vote against Capt. M'Coy'a mot!on: -t Itis vdrship then voted for Mr. Evan's motion, vhich made the voting equal-be then gave a casting vote, which put Mr. Evaoa in a majority of one. The Council then voted for and against Mr. Evana't motion with the same reeutt. MONTHLY MEETING OF THE LOCAL BOARD. I The meetmg of the Council waa followed by a meeting I of the Local Doud, the prmcipat businesa brought for* I ward bemx THE KEBPtNO Of HOBSM. Alderman Painter satd he had thought a good deal about thia matter, and it appeared very cleat to him that it would be much more expensive to keep horses than to contract for team work. Looking at the question with- out taking into account the horse not suiting and their having to seH him and buy another) aud such contingen- cies as those, viewing it in its simplest form, he could not see that it would be any saving. He put down the keep of the hoMe at 15s. per week—some eaid it would be more and some said it would be less-but taking the average of the estimates they had heard that would be about the mark. The least they could put down for a man would be 153. per week. They must have a responsible man for the purpose and that man must devote ali his time to the horse. When they considered that the man would have the entire care of the horse, and the sole control of the provender, they must agree with him that they could not get a suitable peraon under 159. a week. Then there was the wear and tear, which he put at 4a. a week, although, perhaps 6". would be nearer the mark. The s'able had been put at 2a. & week, which was a. very low rent. These items altogether made 36s. per week. He could-not help saying that it was a very foolish step to take. Then they must re- member taat the horse could not do night and day work, if he worked in the night he could not w ork in the day, and p'ct versa, if he worked in the day he could not Wt-rk in the oigbt. Taking that view he felt sure there could be no potaiblo saving, and on that ground he should vote against the purchase of a horse. Mr. Heywood replied; contending that they should not want an extra man. He thought the more men they had the less work they had done. The horse coutd ba kept for leM than 15a. he had been informed by many, besides, they must remember, that now waa the worst time. They had apent JS127 for team work taat year, and thij year there would likely be £50 additional for water- lag. Let their horse come out of the stable and do a little at a time-it was not the way to rush out with seven or eight men alt at once to sweep the streets and then never aee them again for some time, as was the case now. The proper wny was to do a little xt a tifna and be oopstaatly at it, then the horse would be found to answer. A long discussion followed, in which much was said tint has been said before, and some personal altercation took plitce. Mr Heywood pressed his motion, which was seconded by Mr Manuel Jones, to a division, the follow- iag being the result. Fi)r the horse-Alderman M'Coy, Councilors Rogers, Evaus, Maauel Jonef, Heywood. Against the horse—Alderman Pointer, W Rowland, T. I RJwland, Dtveopart, Overton, Bury, Beale. Atd. Chrk and tha Mayor declined to vote, the horse was, therefore, loat. Thomas Daviea's tender for team work was then ac- cepted. FURTHER DISMISSAL O? THE SURVEYOR. Mr Evans then roae to move that the Surveyor receive notice to vacate the office he held under the Local Board. He need not do more than move iI, but were it necessary he could address them from morn to dewy eve" on the matter. Mr. Rogers seconded it. Mr. Bury said he ahou)<i simply submit that it was H- tegat. when a little aharp firing pasaod between him and Mr Hey wood. Atdorman Fainter said he would not say it was megaI. but it was very improper, and he wouM juat aak those who were votm< for Mr Evana':< motion how they would like to be treated that way themselves ? Alderman M'Coy again moved for a committee of in. quiry, which on a division, wa< negatived by the M(<yor giving two votea as he did in the council meeting. After hearing certain reports upon drains and other nuisances, and some other minor matteM, the meeting btoke up.
VREXHAM COUNTY COURT.I
VREXHAM COUNTY COURT. I Wednetday, March 27th—Before E. L. Richarde. Esq., Judge. A large number of plaints were entered for heartng, most of which, however, were cither settled out of ounrt or posaesaed no pomts of public importatice. ) MOSS p. WtLJLtAMS. itns was an action to recover JE5 damages for an assault stated to have been committed by defendant on the plaintIS, on Thursday, January 24th. Mr Acton ap- peared for the plaintiff and Mr Jones for the defence. In opening the case, Mr Acton said he was exceedinety aorry that Mr Rowland, surgeon, who was an important witness in this case, was too unwell to attend. In eaiag for damages in auch an action as the present, be wa< aware that the doctor's bill was of the &Mt importance t'ut as in this instance it could not be proineed he hoped hia honour would exercise his power as a juryman and allow plaintiff some recoverable atnount for !.he ex.. penso of a medim! attandant. Mra Jones having been sworn said, I am the wife of Samuel Jones and plaintiff in this action. I am ac- qu<tinted with Isaac Williams the dpterjdint. On Tnura- ftay, January 24th, I Wii3 going with Elizabtth Morrm to the honae of a neighbour to take hack an iron pot which ahe had borrowed. On the way, we met defendant, who was walking on the opposite side of the road. When he saw as he ctme across to u', and, without raying any- thing, kicked me very violently ou the )aft. thmh. He had on a very heavy boot at the time. He tnen passed na and shortly returned when he rushed between me and Elizabeth Morris, knocking the pot violendy out of our hands. This took place within abom 400 yarda from my own home. Elizabeth Morri s was then called who corroborated the above in every pa.rticnl.u-, adding that plaintiff had been so unwell since the assanh took place that she had to do her household work for her. Mr Jones then called I*aae 'Williams, the defendant, who denisd the assault, but gave his evidence in such an unsatisfactory manner as to elicit several very severa re- marks from the learned jndge. James Gittins proved that when plaintiff and her wit- ness took the pot to his house, they ahid nothing about I the aesault. I His Honor in summing up, regretted that the doctor's I bill cou)d not be produced, as he was then placed in tnc r-tther awkward ptedicament of making out an imaginary I' bill himself. The damages he wontd award were JE3 3j which was to include all expense incurred by medical I tttendance. ROBERTS Y. EDWARDS. ¡ This waa an acdoa to recover damages for the !<M? of I a donkey, said to be kiUeJ by the defer¡d,nt. and for an aseauit. Mr Acton appeared fortheplttintiif, and Mr Jones tor the defeadant. The facts of, the ttppear to baTe ?<? ? ?tf??, 09 yh???t mf P«!<Mb6r, t&< <ttftit< < dant was driving a cart with two donlceya, along the Aa wy road, defendant was coming behind in a photon, belong- ing to his master Mr Thomas. In opening the ease Mr Acton contended that although the, defendant was a servant yet. under the circumstances of the ease, he and not h)8 master should be sued for the damages; Mr Jones objected atatittg that the law was that the mMter was a.nawe rahle for the act* of h'a eervants, while they were in his em- ployment. His Hono'tr agreed with Mr Jones, giving a caae to the point, and adding that the master thoold he sued for the loM of the dontey, and the Mrvwnt for the aMauIt. After aome hesitation Mr Acton agreed to this, and this count in the action was withdrawn. The action for the amount waa then tried when the fact' of the cate as given above were tlicited, plaintiff drew her cart on one side, for the defendant to paM, leaving ample room for that purpoee. The phaeton however ran into the cart and the wheeb were locked. The horsea in the phaeton p)nnged eomewhttt vioienHy,andMc!:cJoneof the don- keys on the head, which waa The cauae of ita death. De- fend act then used violent !angn*ge to plaintiff and raised trs hand to strike her, hence the present double action. Mr Jones enhnntted to a verdict for nominal damage: for the aseault, the costs to abide the result of the next action. After making a few remarks upon the case, Hia Honour reserved his decision tilt the next court, when! the remainder of the case will be heard. DAWSON T. WILKINBOtf.

SHOCKING MURDER OF A WOMAN…
SHOCKING MURDER OF A WOMAN BY 11 HER SISTER. I I A fearfnt crime was committed on i nesaay mornlU at the Militia Barracks, Xingston-upon Thames. The victim was a nne yonnft woman, only 20 years old, named Diana Wickens, and while Mieep she was muraer- ed by her step-sister, a msrried woman, the wife of a t.erEe"nt-majof in the 3rd Regiment of Royal Surrey MiHtia, who, white in that date. nearly severed her head from her body, dividing the right carotid artery, the jugular vein. and the windpipe with a razor. It would eeent that the busbtnd of the wretched woman, who is hipMv reapected by his omcers, had left hia bed about 7 o'clock in the mMming, and gone out into the barrack vard, leaving Ms wife In her own bed, and the unhappy deceaeed In an adjo)inin room, where the slept upon a temporary bed, made up for her on a .of., and his wife muet have got up almost immediately, talten one of her husband's razors from the drawer in which it was kept, and then proceeded to the adjoining room, wherethe unj happy deoeaMd was lying. There appears to be rery little doubt that at the time she was asleep, and lying on her left side. and while in that position-the murderess inflicted a dreadful wound upon the right sidd of the neck, which was uppermost, thus causing the tnjunes ahove described. Instantaneous death would not appesr to nave been the result, for there is very little doubt that upon th.. <<.t a.aa+i/\n nf lnn;n t},p nnnr creature raised one of "lAg .1.1&0" "'&'VI" r. her hands, and in an doinf: received a severe injury upon the nnKera. She then got out of bed and staggered for about six feet into the adjoining room, where she 'eu dead literally cohered with btood. Dr. Cory and Mr. Sudtow Roots, surgeons at Kingston (the latter g.ntle- man being surgeon to the police force), were speedily in attendance, but alt human aid was of course unavailing. After committing the deed, the wretched woman went to the barraA.yard, where she met a sergeant belonging to the regiment, named Gates, to whom she at once iiiatid ihat she had murdered heritor, and she then went to thè p.unp and washed h'-r hands, which were covered with btood. A constable betonging to the V di- vision of police was then sent for, and the prisoner wsa taken to the police-station, where the charge ??? by Mr. Armstrong the inspector on duty. It way naturaUyba imagined that the occurrence created the most intense anxiety in the 'own, and, M is Ulual n such cases, there WM &vahety of rumours as to the cause of the dreadfut occurrence, among which was one tb the df-od was committed through jealousy hot, so tar at t'he evidence which was given before the magistrates went, there does not .ppfar to b. any ground for such a supposition, and at present the motive for the comnna- sion of the dreadful crime appears ? be entirety mys- tery.

THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE.1…
THE TOWN COUNCIL AND THE .1 BOROUGH SURVEYOR. Two ZMnthz tgo we gave our readers a graphic wkatch of a scene enacted within the walls of the Council Chamber, the principal character In ,ueb was sustained by the Rev. John Jones, a newly elected member, who had undertaken at the request of his party to ooet the Borough Surveyor from his omce. The attempt was so <luBMily made that the reverend gentleman's own friends became disgusted with him, and looked quietly on while he was subjected to a eharp fire of small shot from different quarters Mntil he deserted his position in despair, and from that day to th:s his voice has never been 'heard in the deliberations of our local represen- tative assembly. His visits to "ommittees and council meetings have also become few aad far between—while his stolid attempts at reforming cur local executive and revising our bye-laws have ceased altogether. The removal of the Borough Surveyor was well known to have been one of the election pledges of the red" party. Fatiure in M vital a point would sure to be high- ly detrimental if not altogether fatal to the party interests, and we are credibly informed that the threats and menaces which have been showered down upon the members thus pledged, have more than once induced them to sit;h for the Chiltern Hundreds. One week their own Organ" aent forth a note, or rather a how!, about unredeemed pled{!e', pointing out that the Surveyor and Town Clerk were stiil in power, and asking in terms not to be mistaken AoM long these omcials were yet to enjoyltl)e aweeta of office, and the red" pMty at the same time actually in a majority, There WM preat pressure brought to bear,—noth- ing would eatisfy but the sacrifice of the survey- or, and after many meetings, some warm discus- sions, and one or two dissensions. a cham- pion waa found who was wilting to make another attempt. Wednesday tast wa* the day nxed for this teeond great eSbrt, and Mr Richard Evans was the instrument chosen to do the deed. It had <aken two months to ra)!y the forces after the former disastrous defeat, and the muster roll was cot then even complete, the quondam leader be- in}: miM<ng, and another member was also ob- eerved to be "absent without leave." Stil! the battle must be fought, and Mr Evans in a trem- ulous voice commenced the attack. Mr Manuel Jones tried it on" again to have the surveyor excluded, and accused behind his back, but the English feeling of fair play was too strong for him, and he failed. Mr Evans proceeded, avowed the purity of his motives, the kindliness of his feelings, amounting almost to an ardent attachment for the surveyor. These little pre- liminary remarks were perhaps necessary, be- cause men are prone to be suspicious, human Nature is very perverse, and the most devoted patriots have often vel; corrupt motives imputed to them. Mr Evans then only acted discreetly in "brushing away the cobwebs of suspicion before "he proceeded. Having so done he told us why 3te sought the removal of the surveyor-it was ehieny on the grounds of economy. The sur- veyor he asserted was extravagant in his ex- penditure. which he proceeded to prove by show- ing that we spend more on our highways than they do in Osweatry. A very sweeping conclu- s ion drawn from very limited premises, and pro- bably it would prove a very incorrect one, were St tested more in detail. The charge of ex- travagance was followed up by an enumeration of a few minor failings of the surveyor which we will not trouble ourselves to note here, as the accuser himself did not appear to make any great account of them, but apparently threw them in just to fill up the picture. Mr Rogers seconded Mr Bvans's proposition, and it was supported by Mr Beale, Mr Manuel Jones, Mr Heywood, and Aldarman Ctark. Mr Rogers's only charge against the surveyor was that he allowed the men under his control to leave off at four o'clock on a Saturday. Mr Beale thought the borough could do without a aurveyor, and he was tolerably sure that the sur- veyor coald do without the borough. Mr Hey- wood's arguments were mainly an echo of Mr Beale's, both agreeing, that some non-descript emeial, which they termed a nominal surveyor, would answer all the requirements of the Lorough. Mr Manuel Jones held up Mold as a model town worthy of our imitation—gave the Council an epitome of the surveyor's private practice,—talked gain about the wall that felt down in Queen square, which has pressed upon Hm like the night-mare for nearly twelve months —detailed a little gossip of what an old woman tad told him about the surveyor, and implored lis worahip to puah" Mr Evans's motion to a division. Alderman Clark lost some of the taci- turnity which usually characterises his demeanour in the Cnuncil Chamber, and was jubilant in the extreme long before victory was certain. Al- though all personal animosity had been disavow- ed by Mr Evana in his opening, a large sprinkling or this feeling peeped out in the subsequent pro- ceedings. Indeed, the perplexity of the poor man <n Mt forth in the atory of the old man and his all of was an enviable position compared with that of our Borough Surveyor. A short time a<!o he was censured for being absent from the Council meetings, and ordered to be always present for the future. He obeyed. Last Wed. Mtday Mr Evans wished to know what he want- ed there at all. At one meeting Mr Rogers :foond fault with him for entering people's premizes without their permission, at another meeting he complained of him Mt entering their prensises so as to ascertain the state of repair of the pumps. If he does a thing he is wrong- if he does it not he is wrongs He is too expedi- tious with the street sweeping, and tow slow in repairing the pumps-too stringent about new buildings and too lenient with the workmen, and Hfty other faults are laid at his door, all equally captious, childish, and absurd in their character. When sitted of the rubbish in which the at- tack on the Surveyor was surrounded the only charge remaimn" against him is that of extrava- gance. On this head we agree with Alderman Jraiater that had any case of extravagance been Made out, the highway committee is as much or more to blame than the aurveyor. The business cf this committee is to receive, examine, and if I Meed be, cheek the hichway expenditure. But as- turning that the Surveyor had the absotute con- trol of our highway expenditure, he is surely Tlot to be dismissed because fuch expenditure is higher in Wrexham than the same class of ex- penditure is in Oswestry. The course recom- mended by Alderman M'Coy is a fair and reason- able one. Had the charge been a thousand times M serious it ought to have been investigated be- iore proceeding to take action upon it. A thief and murderer is allowed a that. but a borough surveyor is, it appears, to be condemned and dismissed at the caprice of an unscru- pulous faction. To do the Council justice, 'We must admit, that there was a majority in favour of inquiry and fair play. But the Mayor stepped in and by a double vote put Ma veto upon that majority. Seveo of the Coun. <il said let us enquire and see whether these things are so ? You shall not have your corn. saittqe of inquiry says the Mayor, I will vote and make the minority of six into an equatity of zevec. I will then make use of my casting vote Md thus stifle all inquiry. Jn the case of a horse )e hesitated and ultimately declined, thus to use 'is reserved power-where a man's official char- Mter was at stake he threw his ponderous wei;zbt into the batance to dismiss hhn. Such conduct we conceive to be very extraordinary as regards tht Surveyor, and scarcely respectful to the seven Coancutors who asked for tnquiry, and an arbitrary use of the power with which the jaw invests our chief magistrate for the purpose 6t alielding the weak and securing justice to the tteHMd.

MR. MAINWARING, M.P. ON "THE CHURCH." rTho following letter, has been addressed by Mr Towna- hend Mamwaricg, M.P. for the Denbighshire Borougbig, to Tile Guardian. Like all the provioua emani'ttOM of the honourable member's mind, it is a curious conglomeration of contradictory aenti- mentB, particularly when we bear ia mind, that Mr Mainwaring once voted for the total and immedi- ate abolition of church-rates', going the whole length with Sir J. Treiawney, whom he now classes with the enemy"] S)r,—It appears to me that we Churchmen are daily becoming more and more like poor Francis II. We know the Dissenters and Rtdicatsarenearingour citadel, and, trusting to some St. Januarius. we let them advance unfit at the last moment we shall have to defend out- telves In some beleaguered Gaeta. Sir John Trelawney's succesi has given confidence to the enemy let us while we have time meet them, aght them with their own weapon', and, I doubt not, beat then). Let Churchmen form their Liberation Society. Sofdiera and Rervanta of Christ must be entiated into His Church the hearts and aSectiona of the people must be won by making the Clutch more of a jiving thing than we now know it to be. And if this happens, who is so much to be thanked as the Church's ao-c&Ked enemy, Mr Bright. The Ra- dical press aays ho mnje an imprudent speech on Sir John Trelawney'a motion. A'! Churchmen, we my thank him for making an honest one. Shall we consider him our enemy because he told the truth, and pointed out the detects of our State-ridden Church ? If the Liberation Society is the Church's leagued foe, let Churchmen ]eMn union from their enemy. Let JIih and Low Citurchmen nov combine to defend the Church of their forefathers. They must not shut their eyes to her weak pointe, but resolutely repair her breaches. First, let them humbly address the Queen, through Parliament, to allow greater liberty of action to Churchmen in the election of Bishop". Socondty, let discipline be improv. el by having eriminous ministers more rapidly and cheaply brought to trial—aave courts-clerical for the Church, as the army has its courts martia). Dissenters justify thpir schism by the want of discipline in the Church. Thirdly, we must have more Bishops of the stamp of Bishop Witson of Sodor and M<n, who more than once refused promotion. a.td made himself a true pastor pastorum and paterif(7eliant and had an earthly reward in the enthus'a't'c atiection of his people. Let the Church have fewer repro?ontativea in Parliament, but their power increased by the people's love for the otHce of a bishop. Do not let us fear exclusion from Parliament. Here is an extract from the Constitutional .BM<ory of Etiglaml by Thomas Erskino May, C.H.:— Except in case of the sees of Canterbury, York, London, Durham, and Winchester, the Bishop last appointed receives no writ of summons from the Crown to sit in Parliament until! another vacancy arises. The princi- ple of this tempcrary exclusion of the junior Bishop, tho jghtt&rat exposed to objectiona on the part of the Church, haa since been found to be not without ita ad- vantage*. It enables a Biahon recently inducted to de- vote himself without interruption to the labours of his diocese, while it relieves him from the expenses of a resi- dence in London at a time when they can be least borne.' Here again, is an extract from one of the Reports of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners:—' In the course of the 20 years which have elapsed from 1831 to 1851, no fewer than 2,023 churches have been built, and from the be- K'nniaK of the century to this time, probably 3,000. The value of the Church property is much increased. probably irom 94,392,885 to zE5,000,000.1 The Episco- pal revenue in 1851 was in England and Wale* JEla4,200, probably at this time above .2160,000. which would allow jBoO.OOO fjr aeven representative Bishops, AIOO,000 for fifty provincial Biahops (at present there are only twenty-aeven Archbishops and Bishops in Eng- land and Wales), J610,000 for the income of superannu- ated Bishops. Let Churchmen be up and doing, aad the victory they will achieve will make them bless their Church's enemiet. TowNantND MAINWLZING, M.P. for Denbigh."

MUiICU. ENTBBT&iNMErM'.—The eefiea of tectares and musical entertamment given in connection with the Wrexham Literary Institute are now drawing to a close for the present aeMcn. The last but one came off in the Town Halt, onTne9day night, and was entitled Bonnie Prince Charlie, or the hero of forty-five," being a must- cat entertainment by Angua Fairbairn, Esq., and the Misses Bonnett?, of London. Viewed as an entertain- ment it was one of the best of the present serieo. The songa, duets, &c., all had reference to Mme interesting event or incident connected with the rebellion of 1745, and were introduced by appropriate historical remarks by Mr Fairbairm The ainging was very good, and every piece was loudly applauded, particularly by oNr Scotch friend?, who formed a large portion of the audience. Air F&irbairn and the Misses Bennett were sttired in tho highland costume, which gave an additional epMC of romance to the entertainment. The attendance, we are very happy to say, wm very fair. The next and last lecture for this seaaoa, will be on Friday, the loth of April—subject:—" Haunted Homes: with the moral of a 8 me apn-na in ttie School, the Tap, the Asylum, Loae Houae, ne Vast Home, and the Last Rome," by Mr J. B. Owen, ofjLondon.

FLINTSHIRE ASSIZES. I 10 a. i ne commUBton of assize tor this county WM opened on Thursday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the County Ha.U, Moid. The learned judge, Sir William Fry Channel), Knight, was met and escorted to the hall by Robert Howard, Esq., hip-h-sbefiS, accompanied by the uaaal omcers. The ahefiffa cortege wa<t a beautiful carria!<e drawn by four splendid greys, the horses and postilions most tastefulJy equipped with btue and white. Hia to'dship attended divine service at St. Mary's church where an excellent and appropriate sermon was preached* by the Rev James Coo), M.L.L., rector of Worcester' I from Paalm cxix.

The proclamation against vice and immorality being read by the cierk of the court, his Lordship proceeded to deliver his CKARGB TO THE GRAND -JUtT. tie said, he was exceedingly happy to congratulate them, M he had done in othar counties, upon their readi- ness in coming forward to render their fMMtmMe in the adminutrationof justice. Circumstances over which he had not the least control had precluded his arnval at an earlier hour, as he wished them to appear to-day, to- morrow being Good Friday, it might sait their couven:- wnce if the business were done, and they could be dis- charged this eveninf, which apology they would be pleased to receive. He thought the cases did not required particular notice from him. They were such as thetr ex- perience woutd enable them to understand. If th casea required assistance in point of fact, he would be happy in rendering it to them. There was one case of bigamy the facts of which his lordahip explained, and gave the law on it; it was void of the dimculties generally in BUOh cases. There was a MM of forgery committed by one who was superintendent of works, which would be very aimple. There was also another case, that of tar- ceny. which would easily be disposed of. itobert Evan Dawaon, a youth employed in a bank was charged with forgery, there were three indictments against him but they need not trouble themselrea by going into the casa if they found some reason for Coding a true bill against nun on one count of the indictment they would do so when the facts would come before the court, the facts of his not being an ordinary clerk but an apprentice, would render the charge obnoxious, owing to an order being issued by the directors that no apprentice was to receive money. David Evans, was charged with arson, and it would be for them to see if there was not a contradiction in the point of time, as the man Evans had left the house before the fire took pl!J.ce. I will take the same liberty to request 'ou. as I have the magistrates in other coun- tiea on this circuit, to lend your patroaase to all thn.. inatitutioM which aid literature and temperance and give their sanction to a general diffusion of a sound edu- cation, believing as he did that it would be attended with very tialutary enacts. He did not make those remarks frotn any Mason he had to suppose they did not do so at a't times, but that he would not let that opportunity pass by, on his heinx for the nrat tuna on the North Wales ci.cuit. without atknowleagmg his belief in the gopd re- "uita of those instttuMons. Hd then diMharged the grand Jury to their duties. t CHARGE OF PORGERY. Jonathan Sarding was tried for torging a cheque in the name of Mr. Jamea Co)[in.-e, id whme etnp!uy the pnaoner was, and for ut:er!Rg the same.

ANOTHER ATTBMTTED OUTBREAK BY THK CoNTYOt AT CHATHAM.-For several day. past rnmouMhave pre- vailed in the prison that the convicts intended that ano- ther outbreak should take place on Suuclay awraing, on the action of the priaoners being .Hawed to take their usual exercise on the parade ground, prior to attending divine service in the prison ohapeL Immediately on the fact. coming to the knowledge of the Rovernor, a mes- S MM VM despatched to the major-ge?ral command ng the garrison, who instantly ??300 troops o? Une.eacM man provided with ten iound. of ball cartridge, to the prison to be in readiness to act, should their ,er. vices be required. The soldiers were not allowed to enter the priBon, but were drawn up outside the building, ready to enter immediatcly a preconcerted signal had been given. The plan intended to be earned out was for the whole of the prisonera to seize the warden at the moment they were unlocked from their cells to resume woik. and then to ruah out of the prison a<ter setting firo to the building. During the time the prisonera were at dimier on Saturday many of them commenced hooting and veUinj!, accompanied by shouts of "Down with the black 'Kill the —— and other menactng ex- pree.ions. Ohi6h were directed chiefly against Mr Kinch, the principal warder. Several of the convicts who took more prominent part in these disturbances were taken out of their cells and placed in irons. At the usual time the convicts were released from their cells, but no attempt at a disturbance was then made, the prisoners being evidently overawed by the preparations which had been made to suppress the slightest attempt at an out- break. On the return of the convicts from work in the evening the abouting and noises were recommenced, when two more of the prisoners were placed in irons in separate cells. On Sunday, another outbreak being ex. pected. eimilar precautions were taken to queU the dis- turbance but nothing took place to justify the Mars en- tertained of another outbreak. There ar. six of the mo.t notorious of the convicts in irona, and confined in se- parate cellsi waiting the punishment to be mn'cted on them. ???————?—————
