I. CORRESPONDENCIE. I RAILWAY COMMUNICATION. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,-I take the liberty of addressing the inhabitants of Wrexham, through your paper, on the benefit they would derive from having a cross railway through the town end the necessity of exerting themselves in sup- port of those perties who are now endeavouring to ob- tain bills for making it, and aiding them by taking shares in the undertakings, because large numbers can (asily effect what is very difficult for a few to accomplish. I need not point out the advantages we should derive in travelling by having a direct railway to join the Mold line on the west, and the Ellesmere and Whitchurch on the east, but by figures attem pt to show the result of making raiiways through places and the contrary effect the want cf them has. The following is atoll, pnrison of the effect upon the population in the town&Lins with and those without railways WITH. 1831. 1861.

Sir,NLow that we have a gentleman at the head 01 our local affairs, who is likely to Itad the Council in the may they should go, and to induce them to do some- thing towards carrying out those improvemeots for which the town was incotporated, will you allow me to make a suggestion with regard to a Smiihfielti, which I am glad to find forms part of our new Mayor's pro. gramme. It is very desirable that such a place as a SinitLiield should, if possible, be a little outside the town-as near as the town as possible, yet a little out- side. Proximity to the railway is another import am consideiatiou, particularly to those who tarry oft their putchased stock by rail. If these views aio toirect, where could you Lave a tetter place than the field oppo- site the Iufirmaty ? It is j'ist the Jight titualion—it is large enough lor the purport, and it eoulu be entireK drained. 1 am given tu nnucutind alao that it is OL: tainable the to .v'u, tlurefuie, would LO well to get Lola ot it before it -s too late.-Youre, &c., A TowNSMAJf. I BANDS OF HOPE. I To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,—A fact generally acknowledged throughout our land is, that the greatest of all social evils is Intemptr- ance, and the most direful and daring foe which the working man has to encounter. It ia this that impedes his path in the pursuit if knowledge, that blights his happiness, that tarnishes his honour, that Jays desolate his home, that iuins his health, thfct weakens his intel- lect, and that makes him wholly unfit for the important duties uf society at large. Ltt facts speak for themselves, and they will show that by its tffeUs our churches are vacated of some of their xr ost useful members,that prisons, lunate psjlums, aod workhouses ero populated, anI; thousands of the working flomes of England are made desolate. It is aiso taid that one of the greatest causes of drunkenness is the temptation which is laid btfurc the young at the dinner table or evening party in their own homes. It doubtless is not set before them by a kind and tender mother as a temptation, but with the ening idea that it benefits the child and affords it plea- sure, nevertheless, when once imbibed, however true may be the object of the mother, it creates an unceasing thirst and a longing in the child to procure it; and thi is the first step in its way to ruin. Could that mother have been enabled to lift the dai k veil of futurity, and see her child's path in manhood through wretchedness, poverty, and despair-could she but read his future an- nals of time, see him tossed by misery and death on a drunkaid's bed, and hear him pour forth ourses and exe- crations on the tenders being which turned his foot, under kind motives, in that awful path-would she then have courage to lift the glowing cup to his youthful lips, and thus sow within him the seed of misery. Nay, rather would she see his ruddy cheeks grow pale with disease, and fall as a withered flower into an untimely grave, than to think that all this should befall him. But, sorrowful to contemplate, this is an every-day tale, and its dirciul tBttts arc as common-place things in our eight. But with the help of parentf, the remedy is easily effected. We read that the medt efficiect plan for the extermination of alligators fat a time when very numer- ous, when all other remedies had failed, and they con- tinually increased, was, that their neat should be piun- dered of the eggs, and thus remove the root of the evil. This proved effectual; and when the inhabitants had re- course to such, the alligators gradually became extinct, and the natives were rid of one of their greatest enemies. Could we learn from this to remove the cause of the evil—banish the bottle from the homes of our comitr;, and not let the ST are be exposed to their sight, arn ther generation would behold happy homes, well-educated men, and cheerful hearts. Prisons, asylums, and work- houees would, in then turn, be vacated, and our churches would be filled with honest and God-seeking men. In- fidelity and all injurious doctrines would cease to exist, and the healthy sentiments of Christianity would prosper. Drunkenuess would fall as Dagon before the ark uf God, and civilisation would shine with a still brighter glow, and illumine the path of the working man to honour, wealth aud happiness. The Band ot Hope has these objects in view, and to create in the youthful minds ot its members a taste f..r learning, and hold up to their view the blessings ot Temperance, and the numerous advantages thit accrue from the observance of its sentiments. To shun the oiuiikiird's path, and fear his awtul end. And as this valuable institution has been set on foot in Wrexham, 1, us a patron ot it. beg leave through the medium of youi t a uabte column", as a local puper, to lay before "al JUls ti. claims which this society nas upon ititm, and invite hem to place their little ones under its charge and in- fluence.

I Sir, — C-in you Lxi lain to me what harm there is in an ofheer belonging to a Union asking the Guardians to dine with him? Mr Letter, 1 find, Bees something very wicked in this simple act uf uu iug, but then he objects to the paupers having half-a-pint of alu with their roast beef and plum-puddiug at Christmas, and 1 suppose he is now going to tiy to put a sop to all eating as well as ^l Eking.

The countess < f Mor- mngton, his mother, was taken with the I ains of labour whilst crossing in a sailing bobt from Holyhead 10 Dublin.

Gentlemen, you are all well aware what the C( tinty Courts have become and are constantly becom- ing ;hey are no longer courts for merely the reco- very of small debts they ate becoming now of vast cem- sc-quence aud importance:—In Mr Richards s district that in;poitarce h-ocome upon them as a natural ccn- sequence cf the foundation he had already laid (applause), Gentlemen, it is a trite old saying that England expects every man to do his duty" (ioud appiHuse). Do we know—does the country know —what are Mr Richards s duties ? His district comprises tLat large territi ry of country forming the border hnds of England and Wales, and in these his duties lie. But oi them who can speak ? What have I seen myselt ? A quarrel between an agri- cultural labourer and his employer, in which he has iiad to listen to thealmeict unintelligible dialect of tht1 Cues- hire boor, and decide between :heir opposing stfternerits aud immediately has to adjudicate between a We sh col- iier and his master, the trial being conducted in the lan- guage ot the country, which to an Englishman would require an interpreter more than any other. Passing frumthis be is met by a shopkeeper and his customer, and upon the country sbopket ptr's writing he has to ponder. Waiting—hiere glyphics of a kind almost as y p t ( l au, I itc-r an d c h eets?. unintelligible as those of J.gypt (laughter and cheers). XJE leaves the border country with its miners and col- liers, employers and Jabouters, shopkeepers and cus- tomers, and pros into the interior valleys of W ales, and there the scene is changed entirely. There one cau look at the beaming countenance of the honest Welshman, who is satisfied and gratified that he ean hear his com- plaints responded to by the judge in the language of his native pbee (loud applause). There the schemer is ashamed of his roguery, for be knows it is well under- stood by one who will administer to him the law in his own tongue (ipplause). Well, gentlemen, locking upon these c-urta from another point of Mr llichards's diae trict-away from the interior parts,—be has to decide upon the peculiar code cf our maritime laws, upon the ownership of waifs and strays fn m the deep,-tu decid- nr>on the rights of "flotsam," "jetsam" an 1 "ligan," (laughter). All these maritime disputes come within Mr llichards's jurisdiction aud arbitration, Weil, gen- tlemen, when I hear men say that England expects every man to do his duty," first ot all I say let mo aek them to define what duty is ? One ordinary man can jerform but one fair duty hut our friend ha* been called upon to perform many duties, aud lus he nut done them all well ? (loud aud prolonged cheers), vientteruen, 8J much for the people in Mr llichards's couits. There is another class of men with whom he has besn called upon to deal,-thoee who assit him ia cairyin, out the budneas of the courts. As on* of theiu I beg to tender tJ him our he irtfelt thanks together, f >r no.hia^ can ever exceed the kinuni-ss, the cjnsideration, and the urbanity with whie.i those oftieers have been treated (loutl che, r), Whenever the obscurity of an act of Parliament perplexes—and I may say thoit a-'ts of I'ar- lianieiit. are obscure, let people think wii-it they ulay,- Mr Richards kindly expounds aU th^i.e acts, aa 1 we are always rafe in taking a judgment frtlJu nim of what measure ought to bo taken under the circumstances (hear, hear). Gentlemen, I have adverted to the advo- cates. To them he has pointed out the ways and meanb of distinguishing themselves as alvocp-tcs in his courts, .1 L L. and of surtounuing themselves WIlli tile snunuin 01 courts of and I believe they have all found out the advantages ot following out the wishes, aud of obey- ing them ou this point (htar, hear). I am certain, from my own personal knowledge, that there are many young men, who have entered the profession since Mr Richards came amongst us a judge, who have enjoyed fir grta'er opportunities, far greater advantages, 111 learning their profession than any of those who entered the profession at an earlier period (loud cheers). I am sure that they are better lawyers, and that tney are so trom the op- portunities they have enjoyed of practising in Mr Richards's courts (loud cheers). Gentlemen, Mr Rich- ards's conduct of the courts which he was sent to pre- side over, was not without its effect in another point 01 view. The magistrates of the county in whih he loca- ted himself—(this couuty)—knowing from observation— knowing frcm repute-the regular and satisfactory judgments 01 Mr Richards the ordeily manner in winch his courts were conducted the whole ol his proceedings being so careful and painstaking, and in accordance with'law and order-they unanimously and with one accord solicited him to preside over the quarter sessions court of the county, which he has now done fjr years to the advantage ef the county of Flint, and I am sure to r- I L tee tattgue or cis energy an 1 ruinci nas no aevotecl him- self to the chairmanship of that court cf quarter ses- sions (hear, htar). The magistrates, I am su.t', have felt the greatest assistance from the manner in which he has presided over their counsels an.1 conducted the trials of the accused at their quarter sessions; and all this work is done independent of the onerous post he has filled as magistrate sitting at petty sessions (hear, hear). Gentlemen, all these circumstunces combineu were not to be without their effect; and a question arose some two or three years ago whether couduct so marked, conduot so worthy of being honoured, conduct which served as a beacon for his successors—whether it should not in some way be rewarded ? (cheers). There is an old French saying that it is the first step that costs." Gentlemen Mr Richards has taken that first step. Whoever succeeds him will have easy work compaied with whit he has had. We have an estimation of him -by his labours he has endeared his name in our country (loud chte-s) —and especially so to ourselves, who have had the pita- i sure of acting with him and kn iwing him (loud cheers) Addressing the guest of the evening the chairman Cm- tinue 'Mr Richards, to-day I have been called u00n to present you with that resemblance of yourself' (pro- longed cheering),—a token of respect to you as the firal County Court judge who came into this part of the kingdom to carry out a useful act of 7 r-.

The resected gentleman observed Edgworth was quite right in telling them that it w;is no» fifteen years since Hi-r Majesty had honoured him wi her commission, through the instrnmeut dity of the the Lord Chmct llor, and also that the County Court Act reu suited in distributing and bringing itisti(,e to every ma, door, as it was in the old Celtic Plincipalityof Waifs (ip pliiute).

CURIOUS TUHMF.—Mr. M'Clevi has now in his po- session, at liis shop in the Market Hall, a moderate sized turnip, which has grown into such a fantastic shape that it bears a strong resemblance to a man's hand-the thumb and fuur fingers being quite distinctly formed. This "freak of ratute" was picked out of a crop ot turnips on the farm of Mr. Lester, of Penygelli. DENTAL FCURGEUY.—In the construction of artificial teeth, two puts are apparent; the first, the teeth pro- perly so called the other, the base or plate on which the teet.. are mounted. The materials extensively used at present are metal plates, the injurious effects of which have been lately fearfully illustrated. Apart from the galvanic ae, 'iuti which they exert, they not unfrequently cause constriction, but worse than all these b4se metals and alloys act upon the gastric juices of the stouiach, undermining the health aud producing cancer and other diseases. For the sake of suffering humanity we are glad to observe lrom a statement in our advertising col- umns that by the introducing of the Gum coloured India Rubber Base, by Messrs. Gabriel, ol Loridou, Liverpool and Birmingham, th., disadvantages otherwise attendant upon artificial teeth (which oy tite state of society are I frequently rendered necessary), these contingencies are I entirely tio ie away with. ?BW CHAPEL, CHhSfE!STREBT.—Thi3 chapel W)H be re-opeio'i Hi Suuay next, ait .r under!:tùir.g conidr- I able at.er?.iun an 1 lenovatio i. i l.e alterl:t;o cuc? t ot a!(=-arran?:Qcr.t of u porHon (.f the pe?
