I ERBISTOCK CHURCH RATES. On Sunday, the 3rd instant, there appeared on the notice-board of the new church, a paper inti- mating that the churchwardens would call a vestry meeting at three o'clock on Monday, the 18tli inst., in the afternoon, but the paper was without signa- ture. Aeain on Sunday the 10th, another notice was substituted-the other having been taken down during the week, aud to this latter notice was ap. pended the signature of the acting churchwarden, Mr Weaver, of Manley Hall. It became known a lew days before the meeting that some of the rate- payers objected to a church rate, and some of these were Churchmen and others were Dissenters. The cry went forth that the church rate was in danger ot being lost, and as oir \V. W. Wynn owns about three-fourths of the land in the parish, he was ap- pealed to at once, and his agent, Capt. Burlinson, sent a messenger with all speed to order each of Sir W. W. Wynn's tenants in the parish to attend at the vestry at the proper time, and to vote for a church rate. Several of the tenants objected to pay church rates, having had this year an indiffer- ent harvest, bad cheese markets, and heavier tithes, with heavy poor's rates to contend against, and I, they had hoped that with a new church, built at the expense ot a lady in the parish, they would 1have been spared tho additional tax of a church I rate, and particularly as few of them attend the church, it being situated at one extremity of the parish. When they appeared at the meeting, where they had rarely or ever been seen before-it caused some amusement to those who happened to know the pressure that had been put upon them, and I astonishment to those who were ignorant of this extraordinary proceeding on the part of a Welsh landlord. The chair was taken by the rector, the Rev. W. Price, and Mr Weaver at once explained the difierent items of expense for the year ending Easter, 1862, which were as follows—New coal house, £ 5; coal for stove, £ 5; cleaning church, X-2 10s; cleaning school room, XI six bottles of port wine, ISs; washing the surplice usually costing about Y, I when these items had been duly enumerated—a question was put to the chair- man by Mr Topper, a gentlema 1 resident in the parish, if it was usual in most places for the parish ¡ to be charged with washing the minister's surplice. The chairman replied that it had been the custom since he came to the place and appeared to have been so with his predecessor—he did not know as to other places. Mr Topper: Will you allow me to respectfully inform you that it has been repeat- edly named to me by several in the parish who have for years paid the church rates, that t-iis one item ought not to be allowed, and they complain, and many of them very poor people too, that you do not have the surplice washed at your own house. It would be a desirable thing to be done and would avoid much complaint in the parish, after this a violent altercation took phce, in which the rector in the most excited manner, repeatedly striking the table, loudly declared that Mr Topper was a recent upstart in the parish, going about listening to the complaints of the people who ought not to complain but to be content with things as they are. Mr Webber could not believe that these comlpaints had been made, on which Mr Topper was asked to give names, but refused to do so pub- licly, as some were then present, but he would give them to the rector anytime he liked. Un this the rector having moderated his manner, promis- ed to have the surplice washed at bis own house l after Easter, and so this matter closed. On the rate being put of 5d in the pound Mr Topper ob. served, that he could not allow it to pass without explaining that he objected to church rates on the principle that they oppressed the Dissenters and were a cruel tax upou the labouring population of the parish who were Churchmen, and particular- ly so at this season of the year. If those who attended the church would give of their substance to the necessities of the sacred edifice, and he for one would be glad to give ten times the amount of his rate for that purpose in the absence of a com- pulsory church rate, and he knew that several r others would do the same, then the obnoxious name of church rate would be swept away from tho parish, and the harmony of the different sects would be promoted, and great good would be done. After this, those who are opposed to the rate being in a minority in the face of Sir Watkin's tenantry driven there to do their landlord's bidding, there was no further opposition and the rate passed— those objecting to it refusing to sign the vestry book. It is believed the notice calling the meeting and aomo subsequent acts in connection with it are illegal, but whether any further action will be taken in the matter remains to be seeri.-Comirianicated.

THE MOLD LOCAL BOARD-WHAT HAS I IT DONE? I It is now nearly four years since the Local Go- vernment Act of 1858, with its numerous and valu- able appendages has been adopted in the hurough ot Mold. The adoption of this act confers upon those which adopt it, a means and power of self- government who could not be enjoyed, unless a charter of incorporation were obtained, and must be a great boon to those boroughs, who according to all probability might ever despair obtaining such a charter. The adoption of the act and the forma- tion of the board must have been the result of con- siderable labour and great expense, and must have some specilic object in view. The carrying out of improvements, the removal of existing nuisances, a regard to the sanatory and social condition of its in- habitants, which are of most vital importance to every right minded man, were the objects contem- plated by the parishioners, v hen they sought its powers and placed themselves under its rule and government four years ago. But have these ob- jects been attained to?-have the social grievances been removed?—and have those nuisances which threatened to undermine the health of its inhabitants been extirpated ? are questions of the gravest con- s-deration. We ask them because we have been troubled with several communications lately, com- plaining of the conduct of the Board in general and of the surveyor in particular. Tnese complaints are that the state of the town is worse now it is worked by an expensive machinery than when under the surveilence of unpaid officials. Nuisances, instead of being abated, are multiplied—the roads and streets are filthy in the extreme-ilnd one corres- pondent, whose credibility and veracity we can confidently rely upon, complains that the bye-laws in reference to common lodging houses" are most outrageously broken—not only is the number for which these houses are registered exceeded, but there is a mingling of sexes in the same rooms to a fearful extent; and all these things, as a matter of course, are put down to the negligence and in- competency 01 the surveyor, who holUs these offices. \V e are referred to his reports, where he states month after mouth, that he has visited the slaugli ter-houses, and found 1.11 right-where he states that he has visited the ■' lodging-houses by day and by night, aud caused them to be white washed when required, and found all going on right 0 there." 111 the face of this, who are we to believe? j it our informant's information is truthful, then the surveyor is guilty of putting into his report, a stereotyped expression without ever pL'ying into the evil at all. We are, however, far from imputing the whole blame to the surveyor. lie is but a servant iliter all, and it devolves upon those who employ him to see that he executes his duties. It was our painful duty once to listen to the learned chairman of the jTiutshire Quarter Its complain of the Rhyl Commissioners, and state that when they met they only quarrelled and fell out wiih each other. Such a charge cannot be preferred against the Mold Local I Board, but we fear another and not the less grave charge can be preferred against them tor we have no hesitation iu saying that they are guilty of dereliction of duty, in scanning over the repons of the meetings oi the Board for some months pas' we uiiss the name of several members. To begin with the chairman—Mr A. T. Huberts, — when was he present?—Then there is Mr Joel Williams and Mr Robert VVillliams, and some others, when was their last visit paid to the Board! according to the bye-laws, these gentlemen have forfeited their scats at the the board, and upon them iu particular should a large measure ol the odium rest winch is now heaped upon the surveyor. Through their 111- ilueuce lie was retained 1:1 ofhee—liirough tiic r influence a higher rase of salary tuan was proposed L r by other members of the board was given him, and ¡ without any reluctance, we say, they ought as re- presentatives of the ratepayers, who have been elect- ed to watch their interests, and carry out their wishes-to attend to their duties, or resign in favour f of men who would act worthy of the contidence re- posed in them by the burgesses. The ratepayers, though they groan under a heavy weight of taxa- tion, express themselves perfectly satisfied if they do but get value received for the hard-earned money they pay towards the expenditure of the borough. But what of those members who do attend ? Some of these have been so silent, that not a whis- per has been heard from them since they made and signed their declaration on taking their seats at the board, fearing, lest in attempting to do good, evil "8 11 '1- -) might come. uthers, nowever, nave pursues a different course, though with futile results. Mr Price Jones has all along advocated some gradual system of improvement. Mr Hugh Roberts, who, by the way, is a member elected after the great in- dignation meeting, as it is called, repeatedly urges that the ratepayers will be satisfied if any- thing is done to remove the stigma that now rests upon Mold consequent upon its filthy and dilapida- ted state. Mr Janion Jones, wants first of all to remove the surveyor, and appoint a competent person in his stead, then carry on improvements. Mr Birch, who has only lately espoused a sympathy with the sad state of things prevailing in the town, and who at some cost and trouble had obtained a specimen of bricks for flagging the parapets, to- gether with the expense of working the same, re- cei ved at the last board the most unmerited con- tempt of the members, for they one by one left their seats, and if Mr Birch had not followed their ex- ample, he would only be speaking to empty chairs. This is a sad and lamentable state of things, especial- ly when we consider they have a remedy for the evil. It is useless saying there is no money in hand to meet it, for that can be had by a light tax year by year; or a loan can be obtained to be paid in twenty or thirty years, thus causing the expense to fall upon the future ratepayers, because they will parti- cipate in the beneficial results. Looking at the situation of Mold, it is in every way adapted for a cheap and effectual system of drainage, aud for the supply of better water than is at present obtained. The object of water works is not simply to give a large supply of that needful commodity, but to guard against the decomposition of vegetable and other matters, and thus provide that the supply be pure and wholesome. Let the members of the board de pend upon it that sooner or later some will have to endure the penalty of their present negligence. The present state of mortality, though not in any way too low, is to be attributed to the geographical position of the town. Situated at the foot of the Welsh hills, it benefits by healthy breezes, and its accumulated filth is periodically washed by heavy rains but iu the absence of all this, when a long summer's draught comes and epidemic diseases begin to rage through the country, committing the most alarming devastations, the inhabitants will leiirn to their cost the truth of the old adage that "prevention is better than cure." We trust that the members of the Local Board will take these things into their serious consideration, and at once be up and doing" to rescue the town from its present most wretched and deplorable condition.

After the cheers had subsided, Mr lister said, that as they had plenty of speakers that evening, he would not pre- face the report with auy remarks, beyond saying, that al- though printed, it was not corrected many additions would be made afier the meeting; We are sorry that waut of space will nut permit us to print it here, and to give extracts would ouly detract from its merits, thefol. lowiug summary however give an idea of tne work ac- complished.—Meetings held iu the district 73 in the neighbouring districts 12; itaus 3, Eyton 2.

He was very glad to see a ladies' committee started in this district, one of the en- couraging signs of the present day, was the remarkable work that was being effected by ladies in every part of the kingdom, (cheers). We ate told that thosa who" rocked the cradle, ruled the world," and he did urge all with this immense influence, to use it on the safe side. If the women of the Adwy determined, they could soon reform the district, (near, hear,) aud their responsibility was very great. in speaking on tsmpcraace his great difficulty was in selecting a particular branch of the question, as it '%Vai so very important in so many bearings; take its bearing on the supply of food in the voiniug winter, in consequence of the preseut wicked war in America, ttieru woaiu oe much distress ia many districts, now this dis- tress would be much alleviated, if the food at present de- stroyed to make intoxicating arink, was used asfood oy tho people, every pint 01 driuk not taken twould tend to cheapen food for the unemployed people of Lancashire aud Yorkshire; ha called on the people of the Adwy to do what they couid to help in the present emergency.

The food tuat is destroyed every year in making intoxicating drinic in this kingdom, would give alone, 2 pounds of bread every day, tor the whole year, to more than three millions of people. He asked, whether this was not a most shameful waste ot good food, and whether on this ground alone tha temperance cause did not merit general support ? (Applause). Mr Councillor W. Farish, of Chester, on being called upun, said—Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen.- i feel great pleasure in seconding the adoption of the report just read by your hon. aec. Mr Lester, and so abiy movea oy our luug ttied true friend, Mr. W. H. Darby. 1 am the more pleased with my duty on the present oc- casion because it is a good report, in three senses. First it is well written, ana as a literary production reflects credit on its autnor, and in that respect.will compare fa- vourably witli 3iintiar productions issued by much more pretentious associations tLLLL.i tne Berehaiii and Minera temperance iDociety (cheers.) It is also a good report Oecaase it t .lJ ot a large amount of good wur& accom- plished in t-ie year that is Tllu number of meet- ings helu and Uio surprising nu ntier of pledges taken, prove the worthy secretary, aud t;;c no less worthy com- mittee, have Uui. ouly laboured diligently, but most suc- cessfully, for the advancement ot that cause which of all others, morally and socially considered, is the most im- portant to tilld community and the country generally. (Cheers.) Five hundred and liity-two adults have, it appears, during tho last twelve months, (through the operations of Luis society,) renounced the urinkinn sys- torn with all its painful evils, and taken to true sobriety with the blessed concommuauts which usually foflow a tirin and dignided adherance to the total a'ostinjnce plan. Think of 00 2 volunteers in the culd water armv The good that may result to these people individually, and through their influence to others, is incalculable. As a good word, or a kmd act, is said to live for ever, so, no tongue can tell, nor imagination anticipate, the ulti- mate benefits ot your last year's labours. Who can say tnat there may not be included in this large accession-to our numbers, some bright andshiniog light whose genius may dazzle the world, and whose seit-denying labours may bless humanity (caeers.) But it is needless to '1 L 1 'I speculate, sumce it tnat tne Dread nas been cast upon the waters aud (doubtless) jit will be found after many days." iiut the report is a good repor because it speaks good thiugs 1vI the future, it. is a Atiniulatiny report. ^Jneera.)

The gallant Major then proposed, with a well deserved encomium on her private worth and goodness, tho health of Lsdy Combermere, observing, that as a JaHy and wife, s he was not to be surpassed. This toait was drunk with an enthusiasm equal to that with which the previous tcpjt had been received. Her lady- ship's name is a household word" for charity and urbanity among all to whom she is known. Other tOilots in connection with the neighbourhuud were most cordi- ally givea and received; amongst which wo must not omit that ot the Marquis and Marchioness of DLlwn. »hirc," and Mr and Mrs Hunter." "Lord Comber- merb's son-in-law and daughters," which were most kindly and cheerfully given, as that of the worthy presi- dentV, Colonel Cotton and his kind lady. The evening was enlivened with several first-rate songs, sung in good style by Mr Welch, juu., Mr Bourne, Mr Lea, &c., and the company departed at a timely hour, with fervent wishes and piayers that, notwithstanding the advanced age cf the noble veterau, whose birthday they had been celebrating, he might be spared for many years to come, to be the pride of his country and the idol of hia friends and dependants.

GRESFORD. TBMPEUANCE MEEIING.—A deputation from the Uer- sham and Minora Temperance Society, viz., thePiesident and Hon. Secretary, Messrs. W. Low and W. Lester, held a meeting at the Wesleyan chapel, on Wednesday evening, by invitation of Mr Williams, of the Kossett, who rt:sided and delivered an excellent openiug address, Itliowed by Mr Low, who addressed the meeting for fcoma time upon various poiuts of the subject, after which a choir of Utile girls i-ang a Temperance melody wilu f;reht feeling and taito. Mr Lester then spoke, cou. trusting the happy children at that meeting with a poer littlo gir I he bad lately seen at Liverpool, whose own g"" hLr et .le t! c money he had given her in charity iu o,d. r to buy drink, although the child had bt en ncarly twe ty-four hours without meat, and concluded witn ao I ppcal to all to come and save the children from such fearful fate. A number Temperance tracts and copies of the Wrexham Advertiser were distributed, several sigi ei the pledge. The choir of little girls agaiu sung v- ty nicely the melody We will never drink again." The chairman moved a warm vote of thanks to the re ppecled ftc-nileme-n who had favoured them with ad- dic-tses, and hoped the stirring remarks made would cau-ic the friends aiairl to rally rouud the good flag ot Ttmpeiaute—this was setouded by Mr Rooert Jones and carried with acclamation, Mr Lo.v responding in a jew hipp\] lemarks, and so terminated the lirst Teiapoi- sntc meeting that has been held hers f. r some years.

"DOING AND UNDOING." I To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. 1 1 Sir>—J quite agree with your corre sponuent rate- payer as to the filthy state of the streets within the the borough, and also the doing and undoing;" but wnat I hava'. more particularly to complain of is the dangerous state of the footpaths on Penybryn-hill. The pavement is so bad that it is safer fur us old, people to walk in the horse road than on the footpath. I think, now the borough authorities have undertaken the repair of the footways we Iiiiiglt expect them to be put into proper order; this 5path has not been repaired to my knowledge for upwards of 46 years, which is longer than any of the highway committee can recollect. Councillor Thomas Williams wail put to considerable expense in repairing the footway opposite his property under a wrong impression that the owuer of the property had to repair them. Now that question is settled I trust the whole of the footpaths wituin the borough will be put into a respectable state of repair, and also cleared of the stalls that block them up on maiket days. Our mayor has alluded to this in his speech from the chair, and says it is really advisable that the Market Hall should be the property of the town, as without this all other improve- ments remain at a stand still. He also says there is a great deal to be done, this is quite evident to every one, as the Couucil have been undoing" this last twelve months what was done the three years previous. But now I hope we have the right man in the right place" and that 0 shall have some good done lor thu borough, not always wasting the public time and money about the putting up and taking dosn of lamps and causing people to be summoned for ueglecting to keep their pumps in proper repair, tae coot ot whica comes out of tiie rate- payer's pockets. I think a Councillor may take a lesson troui the imyor's speeea as to tae pumps. I am atraid 1 have taken too rnucii of your space, bui yjuuiust excuse me, for I am anxious to keep the Highway uommiltee employed, for I understand they have the management of the highways—uot tne so called surveyor.

I I t' 1 h' 1 'h J. j Sir,—I think very highly of the iiuggebtiou made oy it in you. last pa per tor clubbing to go to see t .e bn."t eshiuit .-a in London next year. T.ie rntghl be tui.icu ou 1 f wi)r"i;t;ii in tae :a,lic t- p; cwriis ill the eaaio onus men In tne same ooasnt .u, I or any other organized body might act on the plan Members of benefit societies might substitute a trip to London next year for their usual club feast, for I hear that cheap trains will go from Wrexham and re- turn the same day, giving about seven hours to see the wonders of the great exhibition—quite long enough for any ordinary mila to walk about at once. In Oswestry I perceive the members of the Temperance Society are clubbing together to see the great exhibition. Could not the Wrexham temperance people do the same thing. Many respectable people would join a trip cut up on. temperance principles who are not teetotallers themselves because they would thereby escape the torture of travelling two hundred miles amid the strong fumea of rum, gin, and brandy, which are enough to knock yom down in the common run of excursion trains. I hopo something will be done in Wrexham in the way of clubbing to go to the exhibition, and if something is done, it ought to be done soon. Yours, &c. R. S. T. I MOLD CORRESPONDENCE.

Dear Sir,—Being informed that I am charged with having penned the letter which appeared in your impres- sion ot last Saturday's date, signed "Listener," and headed the Mold Parish Clerk," I beg that you will be good enough to allow me to make known to my friends and fellow-townsmen that the accusation is perfectly groundless, and I am sure you will bear me out by an. editorial note at the foot, when I state that a communi- cation of mine, in the form of a letter, has never appear- ed in the columns of your paper. It is not fair that a local correspondent should be saddled with every report, paragraph, or letter which may appear from his neigh- bourhood. Yours truly, AY. T. THOMAS.
