THE NEW HIGHWAYS ACT. j To th* Elitor of tlu: Wrexham Advertiser. Birt-I Et c by a notice in your paper that we are about to have the New Highways Act thrust upon us in this district. The result will be that we shall have such a batch of officials created that our highway rates will be doubled. I hope my brother farmm will be alive to this. Now is the time to stranglo this ne-9 pet bantling of the aristocracy, a. fortnight hence it Will be too late. Let us be-up and doing taen.—Yours, I Llaoypwll, Feb. 20, 1863. A LAKQS FASUZB.

NOTICE. I Owing to the lamented death of the late proprietor of the WREXHAM ADVERTISER," the paper will be carr'cd on by his Widow in trust for the benefit of the Children. No change is contemplated in the general staff, and it is earnestly hoped, by stÏl endeavouring to merit public support, that the "WNZXBAM ADVERTISER will retain the proud posi- tion which it has attained under the auspices of the late publisher.

WE hit a nail upon the head last Saturday, which appears to he felt by the Tory party. While allowing that Lord Palmerston's home policy was anything but satisfactory to ad- vanced Liberals, we said that the country could not afford to part with his services at present, owing to the noble course pursued by him and ministers in foreign affairs. The London Standard-one of Lord Derby's most talented organs—comes to its chieftain's rescue upon this point. It is seriously urged by candidates and newspapers 14 the Liberal in- terest," observes the Standard, "that the present Administration ought, for all its notorious failings, to be sustained in office, because the Conservative party are opposed to the independence and unity of Greece. Speeches and articles arc crowded with assurances that the Conservative leaders sym- pathise with Austria, the Pope, and the Bourbons, and would, if they could obtain power, comyrit this country to the furtherance of some deep designs, which Austria, the Pope. and the Bourbons are supposed to have formed for the destruction of the Italian kingdom." We shall not pause to call our reader's atten- tion to the Jesuitical innocence of those words, <lai, supposed to have formed," as coming from. a London daily paper, whose columns have teemed with accounts of the noble" brigands, equipped by the Bourbons in Rome, to spread carnage and desolation in a kingdom 'which it was a hopeless task to regain. Supposed to have formed," forsooth. As if it is not patent to the world that Austria, the Bourbons, and the Pope have formed deep designs for the destruction of the Italian kingdom, and have endeavoured to carry those designs into execution by every means which wealth, material power, spiritual tyranny, and even brigandage could place at their disposal. Let us pass all this refreshing innocence by, and follow the Standard to its next position. We confess," continues the Tory oracle, that we have very little respect for politicians who subordinate all the great interests of their own country to the indulgence of a sympathy, which, at least, must be barren [mark that word barren, we shall recall it as a witness presently,] with the struggles of other nations. We have urgent and important work to do at bomo which requires our first attention, and the selection of the best men for its accom- plishment should be our first anxiety." We are not told who these best men are. The Standard keeps this a secret. Now we will be more open, and let our contemporary into a capital secret-a conjuring trick worth know- ( ing, and extensively practised by the Wizard of the North and other masters at sleight-of- hand. It is this. (Keep it to yourself, or, like every other trick, it loses its charm when once seen through.) While conjuring, always endeavour to distract the attention of your audience. Tell them to look there, while you substitute the canary-bird for the apple here. Attend to home politics, good people. Keep your, eyes off Italy just at present. There is important work to do at home which requires your best attention. You shall look towards ItalJ.nd see what goes on there, all in good Italy,A For," continues the Standard, with a simplicity truly verdant, our duty to our- selves and our country done, we may indulge in the luxury of sympathy with other nations." Let us now-for the time has arrived to-recall that witness "barren," and place him again in the box for cross-examination. If it is all moonshine to sympathise with Italy now, it will be all moonshine to sympathise with Italy lereafter. If the indulgence of such a sym- pathy is something, after all, only barren under the manly and vigorous administration of Earl Bussfcll, what fruits is it to bear under Lord Malmêbury po, We cannot see the wit of sympathising with the Italian kingdom years hence, if our present sympathy is something misplaced and wrong. We have a notion that it is with oympatliy. as it is in charity-" he who gives quickly gives twice." We see no reason to alter our opinion of the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston's Government—it has been worthy of every admiration and we again repeat our declaration that it would be better to postpone reforms at home for another ten years than run the risk of having that policy reversed.

REJECTION OF THE LIVERPOOL I LICENSING BILL. THE Liverpool Mercury has the following re- marks on the above subject The Liverpool Licensing Bill was rejected by the House of Commons last evening. This announcement will be received with "Wome regret, as it was hoped that Parliament would seriously con- sider the subject, and adopt, either in part or in whole, a measure which was framed for the purpose of improving a system admitted on all sides to be undesirable. The determination of the Liverpool magistrates to throw the trade open, very naturally alarmed the licensed vic- tuallers and those persons who wished to restrict the traffic to narrow limits. The Bill rejected last evening was designed as a com- promise, and it received the sanction of several of the magistrates who had taken an active part in opposing the old system. The Bill provided that all applicants for licenses should possess two qualifications viz., a good character, and premises rated at not less than £50 a year; and it was also stipulated that each applicant shonld pay E30 for his license. The effect of this arrangement would have been to throw the trade open only to suitable persons possessing suitable premises. To in- demnify the present holders of licenses for the loss which they might have suffered from in- creased competition, it was provided that 14 years should elapse before the higher rate for licenses should be required from them. While the necessity for a compromise of this or a similar character was generally admitted in Liverpool, the proposal was objected to in other towns where the exceptionalcircumstances of the ease were not well understood, and a formidable opposition to the Bill was concerted. On the motion, last evening, for the second reading, Lord Fermoy, one of the metropolitan members, moved the rejection of the measure, urging that if legislation was5 at all necessary on the subject, it ought to be general and not exceptional. Although Mr. Horsfall, Mr. J. C. Ewart, Sir G. Grey, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer pointed out the exceptional circumstances of the case, the House, by a majority of 124 against 108, adopted the amendment, and the Bill was therefore lost. As it is impossible that the question can rest in its present shape, and as the House of Com- mons has refused to legislate exclusively for the licensed victuallers, preSsnre must be brought to bear against the Government until it con- sents to frame a Bill applyiug to the entire country. In the meantime, the Liverpool magistrates will probably continue to comply with the strict letter of the law, and grant licenses to all applicants of good character and licenses t-o L ab?epremises. possessing suitable premises."

VAT.UA BI.B Wims VAULTS IY WREINAM. TO BE SOLD NBXT FRIDAY.—The wine yaulta and premises for a long time in the occupation of Mr Pugh, on the Town Hill, are to be sold by auction, by Mr Johnson at the Wynnstay Arms, on Friday next, the 27th inst., as will be se in by an advertisement in another column. Town HALL COURSE or LICTUKBS,—On Monday evening last, Edmond Wheeler. Esq., C.K., F R.A.U., the eminentioientifio lecturer, delivered an highly in. structive and amusing lecture on Optics, and Optical illusions." We need not say that the subject was treat- ed in the ablest manner by Mr Wheeler, as hi* power is well known from his former viiito here. The audience was a numerous and respectable one,jand highly ap. preciated the subject, being of so interesting a nature. The human eye,—the effect of the illuotiationa with Mr R ise, of Glasgow's newly invented instrument called the Kalotrope, was very beautiful. The boarders from the Grove School ware in attendance, and seemed much de- lighted with the treat. By oar advertiiiing columns it will be seen on jFriday evening next, that a musical and colloquial entertainment will be given in connection with the course, by the celebrated Grace Egerton, assisted by Mr Geo. Calle, an eminent performer on the concertina and violin, when me trust we shall see the old hall well filb J. [ NOILS,LQ WRKXHAH SAUCB.—We cordially recommend the Wreaham Sauce—it has now become quite a uni- versslfarourite upon the table-it increases the appetite and greatly assists digestion. It is really a good and commercial Sauce, and we advise our friends to try and indge for themselves, and assure them they will not be disappointed. AMATIUR CONCERT.—We understand that a concert will be given in this town tarly in March, for tbtr bene- fit of the funds of he Engineer Corps of Volunteer. Tbe Amateur Ethiopian Ministrels, whooe late concetti It Hope and Mold were eo nimbly successful, have kindly promised to lend their aid, so that a capital concert may be expected CIRCULATION OF THE TORT PAPKBS.—During the htar- ingof an arbitration cane on Tuesday last, in which the publisher of the Wrexham Telegraph was plaintiff he was sorely pressed by the advocate for the defence as to the circnlation of his paper. H e, however, ventured to swear that he never printed less than foor hundred. DEJEUNSR IS THB TOWK HALL.—We are glad trw see that the festivities of the 10th of Maroh are to be varied by a dejeuner in the Town Hall, under the pre- sidency of Mr Jonee, solicitor. We hope it will be well supported and have reason to believe it will be, for we have heard many persons express their dissatisfaction that no opportunity wai to be afforded our townspeople to give expression of their loyalty in public speeches. One feature we greatly admire, and that is, that the occasion is open to ladies, who will not tbi tims have to charge the ruder sex with selfishness. We are confident from the ability of the e..t.ren, Mr Armstrong and Mr Garnatt, that the apreaJ will be worthy the occasion.

OSWESTRY. I PRIMITIVE MBTHIDIST HONS AND FOUKIQH MISSIONS. —The annual sermons in behalf of the above society were preached cn Et criezer Chapel, on Sunday last, morning and evening, by the iter. J. Middleton, of Knighton. The congregations were good and the ser- vices interesting. On the following Tuesday, a public meeting was held iu the came chapel, and after the opening of the service, the lteY, J. Pattinson was called to the chair, who gave a brbf account of the missionary operations of the connection, and then called upon the following persons to address tho meeting: Revds. A. Glegg, E. Cooper, and G. Middleton, who advocated the claims of a-tissiods iu ttn animated and instructive man- ner. We were glad to leartit from statistios given in the course of the meeting, that the above connexion is extending its missionary operations, and realising con- siderable success in home and foreign stations. The proceeds of the services amounted to the handsome sum of .£31 104 2d, being the largest aum ever raised in this place, and JElU in advance of last year. It is only just to say that the collators have all exerted themsolYss uobly in this enterprise. RUABON. REMOVAL OF THIS COUTTF TO WREXHAM, The County Court was held here on Thursday laslo be- fore James Edward Diviee, Etqaire, Deputy-Judge. There had been about 70 plaints entered for this court, and there were besides three adjourned cases, none of them were, however, of general interest, being chiefly disputes about simple debt cares. This being the last County Court to be held at Ruabon, several tradesmen of the town and neighbourbood were in attendance, and at the close of the proceedings just a* the jultce was about to leave his seat they rose in a body, and Mr Edward Morris, of the Post-otfice, in addressing his Honour said, —That he and the gentleman with him could not allow the last court to be held without an expression of their surprise and regret at learning that the court, hitherto held at Ruabon, was to be discontinued. the county courts had originally been established for the purpose of bringing cheap and expeditious justice home to the door of every man, and how they had succeeded was now well known to every ooe. In Ruabon especially, the conrt had been so extensively used that there had been as many as 1,200 oases entered in the year, and In fact, the court was in point of numbers only second in import- ance of all the courts in Mr Richards' circuit. Wrexham being the only court in which more basinets wu now transacted. Under these circumstances he had been re- quested totay, that the inhabitants of the district were quite at a loss to conceive what the representations were or, whence they bad proceeded which had led to the change. If the inhabitants of the district had been consulted at all, he felt quite certain that 800 or even 1,000 names could readily be obtained to a requisition that the court remain at Ruaboo. Mr Morris proceeded to comment on the inconvenience which .would result to 1,200 plaiutiffs and defendants from their having to go to Wrex ham, the former first to. enter their cases, then to attend court, and again to receive their DloQi y, whilst the hitter would have to go every month to pay their instalments, and many ef them would have to come from Llangollen. He thought the result would be a loes to many persons, for rather than take all this trouble, they would lose small debts. Mr Morris, at some length, urged other forcible arguments for the retention of the court, and at the close of his speech, his Honour asid They would all be aware that he was only there as De- puty to the learned judge of the court. He had not seen that learned judge since the order for removing the court had been made indeed, he was only aware of it from having seen it in the papers in London. He was, ho w- ever, perfectly aware that the reimarke eo ably and elo- quently expressed by Mr Morns were intended tor the ears of Mr Richards, the learned judge of the court, whom he expected he should see very shortly, and he would take care that he was made acquainted with them. MOLD. I INQUESTS.—Two inquests have taken place this week before Peter Parry, Esq., the respected coioner for the county, in this town. The first was on the body of James Jones, shoemaker, who was about 60 years of age. tie was seen alive about half-past eight on Monday even- ing, and "as found dead near nine. Rumour says that he had been drinking hard for some time past. Tlis ether inquest was on the body of Edward Jones, late of Plwm-m iwr, aged 50 years. He was a builder by trade, The verdibt of the j ury in each case was Died by the visitation of God."

PRINCE OF WALES'S MARRIAGE. I To <A< Editor of the Denbighthiro Advertiser. Sir,—Can you or any of your numerous leaders in- form me whether anything is being done in the pariah of Ruabon to celebrate the marriage of the Prinee of Wales on the 10th of March next? i eio they are making pre- parations in Qwersyllt and other places much sinil'er than Ruabon, and I am sure the Ruabonites will come forward (as all loyal people onght to do) if anyone will but move in the matter. Cannot they get up a ball or something of the sort, there is a nice room at the Wynn- stiy Arms Hotel that would do for the purpose. Taere an plenty of examples being set in the neigh baiirilood. Witbout taking up any more of your valuable spaco I will only add that 1 hope this will meet the eye of some one to take the matter up.-I am, air, your most obe- dient, Riabon, Feb. 19, 1863. A YOUNG RUAKOXITI.

THE NAVY ESTIMATES—REDUCTION OF ONE MILLION. The navy estimates, which were' issued on Monday moiiiing, show a net decrease of upwards a million, as compared with those of the current Unaucial yeir. There is an incieaae under several heads of expenditure, chiefly for victualling and clothing the seamen and marines half and retired pay of officers, and conveyance of troops the whole amonnting to £ 175,424. The sum required for wages shows a diminution 01 £ 150,170, but there is no actual reduction of strength oontemplated, the differ- ence of 1,000 in the number of seamen to be asked for being uouutm-balanced by an addition to that extent to the coastsuaid. There ia also a reduction of 4343,890 in the estimate for wages for artificers and laboorers em- ployed in the royal dockyards and naval arsenals, and of £ 30,872 in the estimate for new works, improvements and repairs in the dockyard*, &c. The principal reduc- tion ie, however, in the eatimates for naval stores, re- pairs and outfits, steam machinery, and ships built by contract, amounting to £ 1,000,345. The estimate for timber, masla, deals, &c., is cut down by more than half as compared with last year, a reduction consequent, in a great measure, on the eubstitution of i:oa for wood in the buiidiug ofahipo of war. Iron beams, masts, ar- mour-plates, &o., show an increase, but only to a amaH a nouút. There is a grat reduction in the ejtimate for hemp, canvas, ke., and other savings of smaller amount .i of sma l ler amount in tho cuius required for coal for steam-vessels and dock- I yard purpose?, and supplies for coaet-guaid stations. Steam machinery shows a reduction of nearly threi «4ths, and ships building by contract of ab lut one-third.

BEGGAR WOMAN.—" Please, sir, give me a penny to keep me from starving." Gent—" Can't siof-in a great hurry—I've got to make a speech at the society for the relief of the destitute." WILL HE DO IT?—A publisher says he will believe in the theory of spiritualism, if the dead author of an un- finished story on his hands will dictate the rest of the copy by spiritual telegraph. A barber in one of the bye-streets has exhibited outside his door, a large board, with the following announcement: —" Albert Edward Jones, Physiognomic Operator, and Professor of the Tonsorial Art." At a crowded concert the other evening, a young lady Standing at the door of the hall was addressed by an honest Hibernian, who was in attendance on the occa- sion. Indade, miss," I should be glad to give you a sate, but the empty ones are all full."
