BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT. I ir MONDAY, MAY 11, 1863.-Before the Mayor (J. Lewia, Eqq.,) the Ex-mavor (J. Dickenson, Esq.,) T. T. I Griffith, Esq., and Dr. Williams. AN INCORRIGIBLE VAGABOND. I There was a vagrant in custody who gave the nirne of William Taylor, who had been locked up by Inspector Lamb nnder the following circumstances. The Inspector said On Saturday night about seven o'clock the prisoner came to the bridewell to ask for a ticket of admission to the Union. I asked him where he came from, and he said from Cheater. I asked him what brought him here, and he began to use some very bad hoguage, a )t fit to be repeated. He then lay down and made a most fright- ful noise, and used the moat obscene language. I went to lock him up for his conduct, and he ran off down Penybryn, and Nadin ran after him, caught him, and brought him back. Mr Bradshaw There were other reasons for detaining the prisoner, There had been a robbery committed- The M iynr: The reason given by Mr Lamb is quite sufficient, Mr Bradshaw. The Prisoner: He called me a scamp. Then be pushed me. Then I ran away. Then one of them ran after me and brought me back, and then they both punched me. I am not a scamp. The Mayor: Where are you going to ? Prisoner: I am going to see my uncle. What busi- ness had he to call me a scamp I'm a very respectable man. The Mayor: You are fined 10s and costs. Can you pay it ? Prisoner: No, I've got no money. The Mayor: Then you will go to glnl for twenty-one days, Prisoner: It's a nice thing that I am to go to gaol for nothing. I Another case was then called on, but the prisoner be- coming very unruly was asked to stand up >t?iiia, when The Mayor said: The court corrects its judg meat. You are fined ten pounds. Can you pay ? Prisoner: No. You have no business to fine me. The Mayor: You will go to gaol for two months then. I Prisoner: Thank you. Why did you not make it ten ) yeara ? ? I The prisoner then left the room swearing that he would be the death of the og?cer who had taken him into I custody. At the beginning of the cae the court was disposed to take a lenient view of it, but the conduct of the prisoner was so insolent and violent that the case for the police was materially strengthened thereby. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. I Joseph Giller, the driver and proprietor of the Rhos omnibus, was summoned by Sergeant Nadin for cruelty to animals. Sergeant Nadin said From information I received about four o'clock on Saturday I went up to the Swan, in Penybryn, where I found two horses in ¡ an omnibus. 1 examined one of them, and on the left shoulder I found a large sore, and another just above it On the right shoulder there was also another sore ab(jut the size of a shilling. Both horses were in a bad c.,n- dition. Defendant said the wounds were there when he had the horse. He had done all he could to cure him. He had only had him two months, and bad tried to cure the wounds, he had only worked him two days a week. The Mayor said Cruelty to animals is a very inde- finite term. Some persons consider huntiu a vt-ry great I cruelty, yet that is a sport that many of the leading gen- try indulge in. From yonr own (the defendant) state- ment, it appears that the horse has been bad for some time, yet you continued to use it. If the thing had been done the last journey it would have borne a different as- pect. I don't think you have taken thit care that you oueht to have done. If the horse has been bad as long as -you say he has you might have got rid of him to be used for some other purpose. Discharged on f-ayment It of the costs. KEEPING A STANDING ON THE STREET. I Jane Davies was summoned for refusing to remove her I standing off the street when requested to do so by the police. Inspector Lamb said: On Saturday night week this woman had a standing on the street. 1 spoke to her and said she would not go from there. She said others I were there and she would not leave. The defendant aid she had been in Liverpool, and I when she came to town she saw there wtre butchers on I the street and an oyster standing on the street. So she 1 thought it was not much harm for her to be there any I more than other people. The Mayor Well, you know the town has been placed under new regulations. Tbe orders of the Local Board must not be set at open defiance, but must be carried out. So long as I have the honour of a seat in this chuir they shall be carried out. With temper and forbearance, but with firmness. This is the nret cffencf of the kind and I hope it will be the last. Ai yon hare expressed some sorrow for what you have done we shall not convict you, still there will be the expenses; But let us have no more of this. Tell all the rest that after this they must not expcct much forbearance if they set the orders of the Loral Board at defiance. Let me just ak Mr Bradshaw, did any one order the pg carts into ) the Beast Market. Mr Bradshaw said he did not give any orders to that I effect. The Mayor: There has been some intrigue going on. I At any rate this is my suspicion. I may be wroog. Mr Brad-haw As this may go further, I will just a?k the men what their instructions were. Nadin did apply to me, and I told him there were no instructions about the pigs. There wus a man stationed in Queen-street to prevent the potato cirts being placed there. I will just hsk him. Jones-Did you receive any ins'.ructions to send the pigs to the Beast Market ? Officer: i did. Mr Braiish-»w Who gave you those instructions? Officer: Nadin, sir. Mr Bradshaw: (to Nadin) What instructions bad you about the pigs ? Sergeant Nadin: I came up to your place and asked you what about the pigs ? You said nothing. I then sent to J ones and told him there was no orders about tho pii's. They might go where they liked. Mr Bradshaw: Did you instruct any one to send them to the Beast Market ? I Sergeant Nadin I did not. The Mayor It was a trick of the enemy, but it has failed. SLAUGHTER- TIOUSES- I A person named Wilcocks appeared to-day in answer to a charge of using an unlicensed slaughter-house. The case was adjourned on the previous Monday, when the defendant. "could not come" in consequence of hav- ing fet that day apart to get married. lie admitted the offence' aud said he did kill a pig, but did not think it any harm. The Mayor congratulated him on the happy event which had kept him from obeying the summon* earlier, and eaid that as the offence was admitted, and there was such a scarcity of slaughter-ho ises, he should only fine him one shilling and seven shillings costs. Mr Griffith said it was much to be regretted that there were no proper slaughter-houses. The Mayor: As you know, I had a plan for public slaughter-houses, but I saw it was going to meet with more opposition that I was disposed to encounter, so I gave it lip. Mr Griffith And has it beJn given up entirely? The Major; So far as I am concerned. H>w mnny slaughter-houses are there in the town, Mr Higgins ? Mr Higgins: There is only one that can be called a proper slauglier-hoose-.Nlr Samuela's. The Mayor: Jt is a very important matter so far as the public health is concerned. It would be a wLll that it should be known that we are n >t proceeding under any bye law in this case, but under an act of Parliament, and we are bouna to cOnV!Ci. Mr Griffith: It is a pity but what some spirited in- dividual could be induced to take up the subject, aild build a number of slaughter- houses. I am sure there would be a demand for them. The Mayor I hope some one may take it up. lr Griffith made einie observation that we did not caleb. ?ho Mayor repned that there waa such factious oppo- sition tRe should not worry himself with it any more. The land was still to be at its agricultural ?lue and if any member of the Council would take the matter up he would support him. A TULTBULEKT 1JU-BAND AND A REPREHENSIBLE WIFE. Samuel Rowland was in custody having been appre- hended by a police-oifi.ier, named Ellis, who etited case ts follows: I np-orehended the man for being drunk and disorderly on Saturday. His wife came running to the station to me to complain of him. ImmedIately afterwards he came there, his conduct was very tur- bulent indeed, and her couduct was very reprehensible. I Discharged with a caution. I A PILFBKINO BROGAU. L- J-.mes Biiitiing, an old beggar man, weii-Known io the town, was in custody charged with the following robbery. LlaweJyn Williams iaid I know the piece ol 1-ad pro lii;:ed. We used it to kep the surgery door open. 1 have heard tbe worth of it is 7;d. The pri- aont-r epml, to the mrgery on Wodnciday. I told him to go awav that wo had nothing to give him. I went up-Mairs and heard the dog bark, and saw tho tlrisGner about h.! place. I came down and missed the piece of leaii from the door. Henry Jones, from Mr Kaibos proved haviug pur- chased the lead from the prisoner for Hr. The Mayor What religion are you ? Prisoner: A Roman Catholic. The Mayor: That ahows the necessity of the Bill now passing through Parliament. Here is one to whom re- ligious instrciction will be quite necessary, and he will not be allowed it. Prisoner was committed to gaol for 14 days. The punishment being mitigated in consequence of his pro- mising to go to the Workhouse when he came out of gaol. He had been previously convicted of theft. Dr Williams (who left the bench when the case was called on) said it was not for the value of the lead that be had the prisoner taken up for, that was nothing. It was that he was such a pest, and was well known to have a propensity for taking anything he could put his hands on. Dr Griffith said Dr Williams had done a public good by having the man apprehended. He knew him well.

FAIRS AND MARKETS-MEEHNa IN THE TOWN HALL. n' f\ m i • « » « i • .i on Tuesday evening laac, a meeting was netd in tne Town Hall. in compliance with the following notice that had been circulated in the course of the day "Fairs and Markets. Notice is hereby given, that a publio meetiog of the inhabitants of the Borough of Wrexham, will beheld in the Town Hall, this evening, to consider the question of the removal of the fairs and markets. All persons are invited to attend. Chair to be taken at eight o'clock." Shortly after the hour named, a tolerably numerous and very respectable audi- ence bad assembled, which afterwards increased con- siderably. The chair, in accordance with the notice was occupied by M r T. E. Jones, surgeon; Mr Dillon, Bodhyfr-yd Mr Painter, Bjdlondeb Alderman Evans; j Councillor* J. Joues, Overton, and Williams Mr T. C. Jones, Church-street; Mr Wilcox, Bowlint Green Ion, Mr Jones, auctioneer; Mr T. D. Samuels, Red Lion Inn; Mr E. Williams, builder; Mr Stretch, Church-street; Mr W, Jacksoo, coach builder; Mr M. Gummow, archi- tect and surveyor; Mr Mason, grocer; Mr S. Jones, confectioner; Mr H. Davies, Borough Surveyor; Mr Dolby, ironmonger; Mr Manuel Jones, cheesefactor; Mr Nokes, druggist; Mr W. Evans, Queen-street; Mr Smith, grocer; Mr Bradley, Cefn Mur; Mr Lloyd, draper; Mr Jones, druggist; Mr Stracban, uurseryman; M (i' Mr Francis, grocer; Mr Davies, Chester-street; Mr Evans, grocer; Mr Milligan, Charles-street; Mr Bate, Hand Inn Mr Phillips, grocer; Mr Ellis, shoemaker; Mr Thomas, King's Head Iou; Mr Wallis, provisiun dealer; Mr Peters, draper; Mr J. Owen, Salop-road, and many others were present. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said he had been requested by a number of respectable individ- uals to convene that meeting for the purpose of giving expression to the opinion of the inhabitants on the matter of the removal of the markets. He called on Mr J. Jones, solicitor, to move the first resolution. Mr Jones then rose and said Mr CnairmBn and gen- tlemen,—The Mayer has cleared the streets. The ques- tion for you to consider is how do you like it? (a voice, not at all). All of you are doubtless tolerably conver- sant with the public affairs, of the borough, and many of you, no doubt, had an opportunity on Thursday last of witnessing what took place in the Beast Market. That step, the removal of the carts to the Beast Market, was taken in consequence of a resolution passed at the Local Board of this Borough. The meeting is called for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the inha- bitants of the town on this important question. He had couveraed with a number of gentlemen and they all were of opinion that the step taken by the Mayor was a very unwise one-very detrimental to the interests of the town (hear, hear.) He was also of opinion that it was not only injurious to the interest of the town but in di- rect opposition to the wish of a large majority of the inhabitants of the town. (Cheers.) There were per- sons in the council, the Mayor in particular, who main- tained that the measure was an extremely popular one. (No, no.) The Mayor stated within the walls of the Council Chambers that he had not met with a single individual who was opposed to the alteration. Well, the potato carts had been removed to the Beast Market by the Mayor's orders, and the pigs had been removed there by the Mayor's orders, be supposed ( a cry of—no.) Well, the pigs had been removed by somebody's orders —they would not stop to quarrel who it was. As he said before the meeting was convened for the purpose of canvassing the opinion of the iuhabitants on the sub- ject. If that meeting should give an opinion adverse to the change that had been carried out in obedience to the order of the Mayor, be should tike such an opinion to be a fair exposition of the views of the town. Now he wculd put it to them whether such a scene as presented itself to their notice in the Beast Market on Thursday last, was such a state of things as they could reaily ap. prove of (4 voice-no, no.) As all classes appeared to be very fairly represented in that meeting, he thought their verdict on the subject might be taken as a pretty fair index of the sentiments of the town. If the reso- lution he intended to propose passed, he should take it as a fact, as he said before, that the majority of the in- habitants of the town were opposed to the alteration. On the other hand, if the resolution was defeated then he should conclude that the feeling cf the town was with the Mayor in the recent changes he had made. Ue should be quite content whatever might be the result. He was quite ready to admit that he was one who had taken an active part in convening that meeting. He did so because he conceived it to be the duty of one who hai the honour of a seat in the Council Chamber, to as- certain the views of his constituents on such important questions as that which then occupied their aiteotion. It was on that ground that he justified making that appeal to them, and so long as he enjoyed the honour of being their representative, he should always come before them to consult them, and to give then an oppor- tunity of canvassing bis conduct. They would recollect that when the Mayor took office some time ago, he pledged himself to clear the streets. La-t Tnursday they had a specimea of the work, and he would ask them ag;iiu-t -low do you like iL ? (cries of—not at ail.) If toe pot .to carts must be removed let them be removed to a place that was convenient and central, and not to a place where the buyers would not follow for fear of co'ning in contact wita the horns or the hoof of caitle. Let him call their attention to the scene pi es-,ntt!d in the Beist Market on Thursday. He went that way himself, and met several coming from there who said their wives would not go there, and they were afraid to sund their servants there (a voice, "so they ou^ht to be.") Toe noise, the confusion, and the din, baffled all description. It was something like Noah's AI k. in a storm, or like an emigrant ship in a storm and the master of the vessel drulJk (cheers and laughter.) The cattle were running into the pigs, or makiug a raid upon the potatoes. The sheep were getting under the carts, and the lambs under the horses leg3, and the people scrambling anywhere for .protection. Oue scene he heard of was the leg of a horse being fast in the wheel of a cart, and a carpenter had to be sent for to saw one of the 'spokes off (cheers and laughter.) In another case a woman was reported to be seriously injured. These were a few of the scenes —some of them ludicrous enough-ethers of a more tragical characler-all injurious, if not positively ruinous to the trade and general interests of the town (loud cheers.) He was not opposed to clearing the streets, provided it was done with due regard to the interests of the town, and the comfort, convenience, and accommo- dation to buyers and sellers (cheers.) Cleard the streets, of course, but don't let them have such scenes as those they witnessed on Thursday. Let them have proper arrangement of the thing?, and don't let them be earn- ed in a corner anywhere where no one can find them, or like Handy Andy's carpet-baf, with everything crammed into it. He would go a little into the history of the matter. As he had already observed the step had been taken in consequence of a resolution passed at the Local Board, which ordered amongst other things that the potato carts should be removed from Queen-street to the Beast arket. He (Vir Jones was a new ms nber of the ) i ..1. nil. council then and but green in SUCh maners. me re»u lution was first passed at a committee, and then referred to the Local Board. When it < ame before the Local Board then an amendment was proposed, in opposition to removing the carts to the Beast Market. The amend- ment was lost by something like seven to eight. Ttie Town Clerk said that any change in the fairs or markets required a majority ot two-thirds of the Board. The amendment was lost by seven to eight tbe original re- solution was never put. This was in the month of Jan- uary' In the month of February the Local Board met again, and to their surprise they found that the Town Cierk had it entered on the minutes that the resolution for removing the potato carts to the Beist Market was carrit d, although it had never been put to tho meeting. And it was in consequence of this that they had such a scene in the Beast Market on Thursday. He hoped they understood the matter. It was just as if he had moved I a resolution stating that the Town Hall was the Wynn- stay Arms. Some one savs no, and proposed an amend- ment that it is not. That is carried. Does it follow then I that the Town Hall is the Church. If such logic as that I hold good, the Town Hall may be the Railway Station. It reminded him of a story which Burnet tells of the taking of the votes in the House of Lords, when the Habeas Corpus Act passed. The votes were taken and wheo the teller came to a certain fat lord he counted him-elf as t hree, (laughter and cheers), and that ?aa S? ? the majority ? o?iu?, by which the act paid,. Just such logic as that seemed to carry ?" ? ? vatthe Loc? Board, and produced the scene in the Beast Market on ha?dny hst. When the next  the  he ventured to   thi6 was rong. Sorne one proposed that the mifutes j ^a;»irga'r £ tdiiy.h»u15 ? an amendment saying that it was wrong. The Mayor gave a casting vote that it was right, followed by several other casting votes. Such was a brief history of the whole affair. The resolution, out of which, all this mis- chief and confusion arose, was never put to the Local Board at ali. The Town Clerk said it was necessary to have two-thirds of the Council to alter a bye-law. Some one paid it was not. Some one else said let's have the opinion of the Counsel ? And this was agreed upon. All parties understood that the whole thing was to stand over until the opinion of counsel was obtained. A good doit of discussion took place as to whether the Beast Market was as central as Queen-street. One man, however, said it was, and what he said was taken as law. No mailer what any one else said the Beast Mar- ket was held to be quite as central as Queen-street. The notions which prevailed about the points of the compass were also equally as curious as those which obtained as to the relative position of the streets. In a notice issued by the Town Clerk it was directed that the potato carts were to be placed at the north-eait corner of the Seven Bridge Lane. He had lived somewhere about that locality all his life, and when he got up early in the morning in March, he had always seen the sun rise right opposite the end of Holt-street. He took it, therefore, that Holt run pretty near due east and west, and a line running north and south would be at right angles to that. If the carts were really to be placed where the notice directed, they would commence somewhere near Dr Williams's sur- gery (laughter.) After indulgine; in some lengthened sati.e on this point, Mr Jones proceeded to make some observations on the Mayor's plan for obviatiag the in- convenience arising from the potatoes being in the Beast Market on fair day, namely that people must buy a supply beforehand. He saw a many working men there, and he would just like to ask them whether they could afford to purchase large supplies of potatoes be- forehand, (a voice, "where is the money," followed by laughter and cheers.) After some severe remarks upon the interference of t e police he concluded by proposing the following resolution: •• Thai this meeting deems this removal of the potato market to the Beast Market, to be highly inconvenient to the interests of the town, that the removal of the pig market to the same site was unjustifiable, inasmuch as it was not directed by the Local Board, and that a memo- rial from this meeting, signed by the Chairman and em- bodying this resolution be presented to the Mayor and Town Council, and begcinz of them to re-consider the present arrangement." (Great cheering). Mr Uverton said he had a deal of pleasure in second- ing the resolution, and in doing so he should be glad to say a few words in support ot it. It was well known that the Market Hall Company were now providing ac- commodation for the potato caits, as well as for the stand- ings and baskets. The accommodation provided for tht oirts would be far more central than the Beast Market- more convenient in every respect for buyers and sellers. This fact was well known in and out of the the council, and it would be far better policy, he thought to remain where they now were until that ac- commodation was provided. The accommodation for the stalls and baskets would have been pro- vided some years ago, had it not been for the present Mayor who, at a meeting of the directors, said the town was about to be incorporated and it would be better to wait. This was the cause of the first delay that had taken place. The purchase of the Market Hall was a matter that every day became of more and more importance to the corporation. If the Market Hall had been purchased a saving might have been ef- fected with the reduction of the rates. Instead of the Corporation purchasing tho Market Hall, they had pro. ceeded to clear the streets without providing a place to send the pejple to. And what was the result ? He, for one, had taken a walk into the Beast Market on that day, and no doubt many more bad done the same. He (Mr Overton) had taken the trouble to ask many farmers what they thought of the change, and no doubt others had done the same, and he found but one opinion on the subject. One person wished the Mayor, he would not say where (laughter and cheers.) Another wished him seven years (lenewed laughter and cheers]. There ap- peared but one opinion on the subject and that was that it was a great inconvenience to have the potato market where the Mayor bad removed it (cheers.) He hoped to hear some other gentlemen speak on the sub- ject (cheers.) The Chairman asked did any one else wish to speak on the question. Mr Tnomas Jones (auctioneer) then rose and said, that he was not going to maku a speech, but he wished to say a few words on the question before the meeting. He quite agreed with what Mr Jones had said, and he would go further and say that he really had not much hope from such men as those who formed the majority of the Wrexham Town Council at the present time. He be. lieved there was very little good to be expected from them. He had gone into the market and "poke to several dealers on the subject, and they unanimously condemned the thing. And what was more, they said they would take the fairs from us if they were not better accommo dated. There were other places not far off where fairs could be held, and they would no doubt take their fairs there. It would be no use for buyers to come where there were no sellers; any more than it would be fur sellers to come where there are no buyers, and every one, of ourae kaew it would oe a great injury to thetjwn to lose the fairs. Some of the dealers talked of taking the f sirs to some of the neighbouriug vill-iges-s-ay Gresford. Now its real suicide to the interests of the town to act in this way. Suppose there came fifty dealers to the fairs and they spent one hundred pounds a piece only, that would be five thousand pJUnds every fair day. But many dealers spent much more thaa tt at. Such men, therefore, ofght to be encouraged to come to tie fairs, and not all sorts of obstructions thrown in their way (cheers.) Wriy a lot of schoolboys could not have blundered worse than the Town Council had done in the matter of fuirs and markets (laud cheers.) It was a very hard thing that the very men who were elected to pro- mote the interests of the town should be doing so much tl injure it (cheers). If they lost the trade from the town, of course they must injure the town (cheers.) Were tuey to be ridden over in this wiy (great cheer- ing.) He trusted the people of Wrexham would never submit to anything so humiliating. Wby should the word of any one mau be taken tor law ? (cheers.) lie hoped those members ot the council, who by their votes or in any other way, bad helped to put the town in such a 3tate of eonfusion would be remembered next October (loud and prolonged cheers.) Mr Manuel J. nessaid be wished to put a few ques- tions to Mr Councillor John Jones. He had been a member of the council himself, and the question of clearing the streets A as often brought before the council theu. But, of course, he was always against it. How- evtr, it was ht last passed, that.tht streets were to be cleared, but it was not the work of the present Mayor to alter the streets. He was not a member of the Council when it was agreed upon. The Town Council, before the present Mayor was a member, wrote a letter to the Market Hall Company giving them notice to find accom- modation for the people on the streets, and Mr Arthur Clark, the secretary of the Market Hall Company, wrote a letter back, saying the company would provide accom- modation if the Town Council would give them a guar- rantee. That was in October, the last meeting of the Council that he (Mr Manuel Jones) attended. Whera the present Mayor got in all he did was to carry out too law as he found it. At one of the first meetings of the council Mr Councillor John Jones made a maiden speech (cheers and laughter.) He did not want to make auy reflections on any one. Bat Mr Councillor John Jones said he did not want to clear the streets, becanse he did not want to send away the rosy- cheeked girls (renewed laughter in which Mr. J. Jones joined). He did not see any commercial point in that. Now Le should like to ask Mr Councillor John Jones one question. Was he for the people being permanent on the streets or not r Mr John Jones said he would answer Mr Manuel Jones's question wheu he had finished his speech. Mr M. Jones wanted the public to understand the thing. It was said that the Mayor sent the pigs to the Beast Market. His worship asked on Monday in the court who sent the pigs to the Beast Market. Not likely he would ask that question if it was correct that he seat them there. He would like to ask Mr Councillor Johit J ones one legal question. It the Local Board had not the power t,) remove the potato carts to the Beast Market bow tiai they the power to remove tham to the Market Hall ? Mr John Thomas said he should like to ask Mr Jones one qu sliou. He said the dealers would take the fairs away. Thnt would be a good thing then they would not itwil y I have to pay tolls. Mr Jones replied that he was in favour of clearing the streets, but at the same time he maintained that the Beast 't, arket was not the place for the potato carts. The Chairman said he should be glad to hear any one else. J ia saw several persons present who had been membei 3 of the Council. He should be glad to hear Mr Pairuei'ti views (cheers.) Mr i'.iinter rose and was received with loud cheors. Ho he had no intention at all of speaking, had no deiirii t > spy&l:, because he felt that he might be looked up n ai aa interested party, a be waa one of the trustees oi me t In. lie might be permitted to state, as he had been caiied upon by the Chairman, that he quite agreed with what had fallen from the other speakers. It was a most ur, idvisable step to have taken to remove the po- tato carts from Queen-street to the Beast Market, parti- cularly when they remembered that every month there waa u fair held there. It must be quite evident to every one/he should think, that the two things would never do together, (cheers) and it ought never to have been attemp- ted. He was sorry to hear that there could be found a majority in the council ready to do so absurd a thing (loud cheers.) They had much better bave left the potato carts where they were until there was a proper place prepared for them (hear, hear.) He did not say it was wrong or improper to remove them at all, but he did say it was wrong to put the people into a place wheie they must be put to great annoyance and incon- venience. He thought it was a step that nearly every one must condemn (cheers.) For himself he did most entirely condemn it (loud cheers). And he did hope the members of the council would see it fit to alter their de- termination when they saw the strong feeling which prevailed 011 the subject (loud and prolonged cheering.) Alderman Evans then rose and said :—Fellow towns- men-Ever since the town has been incorporated, every mayor we have hid, and every member of the council I has been in favour of clearing the streets, Only they wished to clear them in their own way (c h eers). The ii 11 /J • • Market Hall Company wanted to sell the tolls (derisive laughter). I am surprised that Mr Councillor Jones should appear here oa such worthless grounds (loud hissing.) The Chairman here interposed, aud said that every Englishman had a right to his opinion and fair play in expressing it. He trusted, therefore, they would hear Mr Alderman Evans. Alderman Evans went on to condemn the tolls, and ob- served that he had a great dislike to feudalism. He, for oue, would not submit to such a remnant of feudalism. With regard to the pigs going to the Beast Markets there had been some underhanded work there. It was the lessees of the tolls who sent them there although they re- padiate it now (murmurs of disapprobation). The Mayor had eight lawyers working against him (laughter.) But he had more law in his little fiuger (here the Al- derman held up his little fing er) than they had in their whole bodies (roars of laughter). Well, gentlemen, have it you own way. I am sorry this meeting should have been called. It has been called evidently to revolution- ize the town (cheers and laughter.) The meeting then broke up with a vote of thanks to the Chiirman, moved by Mr John Jones, and seconded oy Mr Gummow.

CURIOUS MEETING IN riLO BEAST-MARKET. I A meeting ot a very motley cnaracter was neia in the Beast Market, on Sunday afternoon last, which created great excitement and consternation in that locality, and gave rise to no little gossip throughout tie town. About three o'clock a number of horees cantered into tne Market, headed by an old stager that could boast of having been one of the leaders in the g lorious days of the Swallow," when in the hands of Captain Morris and that smart whip, Bill Jones. A aerd of cattle followed headed by a noted bull that has distinguished himself in the fields at Croesnewydd. Sheep assembled in galores, and calves not a few came bleating along like pitiless orphans that had lost their mothers and never seen their fathers. The police were ou the alert, but the meeting was of so formidable a character that any interference from this quarter was out of the question. 1 he first business was the election of a chairman, an honour, which, by the ready consent ot all, was awarded to the old stager already alluded to. The old stager, in taking the position allotted to him in front of the National School, spoke as follows:— Ladies and gentlemen (loud laughter). I mean horses, cows, calve?, and sheep (renewed laughter and cheers.) I place the horses first, not because I am a horse myself, but because (here the chairman hesitated, when loud cheers ensued by way of helping him over the difficulty, and the last portion of the sentence was lost.) I always feel thankful that I am not an ass (loud cries of bravo, followed by a voice, Would you like to be a mare," which was followed by prolonged hisses.) The chair- man (evidently conscious that he had said something smart) whisked his tail and proceeded to observe:- There was a king that offered a kingdom for a horse (terriffic cheering and a cry of Shakspeare" from a dray horse from the Nag's Head Brewery.) The horse is a noble creature (a voice in the crowd-supposed to be a little grey pony-" that's from Mavor7a Spelling Book," followed by loud cries of 11 chair," chair. The chairman said he could go on quoting authori- ties for an hour, a day, or a week, aye, all the year round" on the noble qualities and noble descent of the horse (loud and prolonged cheering). His own pedigree would fill the side of a newspaper (renewed cheers.) In the face of all this, was it to be tolerated, could it be tolerated, would it be tolerated that they were to be herded together with swine (immense cheering, each noble animal rearing straight up on his hind legs, the whole of the cows followed by the calves cocking up their tails and taking a run round the Beast Market.) During this excitement a team of horses from Walk- er's brewery, dressed as they appeared on May day, walked into the market, and were evidently looked upon with a very jealous eye by a mare from the Nag's Head Brewery. The Chairman (observing tbis) said he hoped no one would mar the unanimity of that meeting by allowing themselves to be seized by the "green eyed monster." Loud cries of "name," 11 name," followed by a voice that it was ungallant to call a mare a monster." One of the police was also observed to take out his book, and make a note of this, and a cold chill came over the whole meeting. One little pet pony became so ill that Mr Kennedy had to be called in. The Chairman said he was not to be towed in that way, whereupon an old milcber took offence and said she should leave the meeting, if the chairman made any ineinuatioas about cowed. The Chairman said he had not the slightest intention to be personal. He used the word in the Johnsonian seuse. A voice: What Johnson? j The Chairman here despatched a messenger to the j National School to borrow a dictionary. The Prince of Wales fire brigade came through the Market just at this moonent, having been ordered out for exercise. Whether by accident, or design, or not, we cauuot tell, but the engineer turned the hose on the mHet'ne, when the animds scampered off in all directions. They ie-assembled afterwards on a plot of grouid outside the borough, when the chairman said he had reason to believe i,hit the dispersing of the meeting was the work of the Ex. mayor. I The mention of the word MARE was the signal for 1 loud groans and hooting, wh'.n a wag of a puny suggested that as the words &UKE appeared to be so offensive, tllat any speaker na7ing occasion to use it should substitute the word female horse (loud laughter and cheers undercover of which the motley assemblage dispersed.)

Dye stutta are wanted for home consumption; export orders, however, limited rhe markets for Russian goods are without briskness, and tallow more freely offered for sale, on the part of holders of hemp, linseed, and flax, however, firmness exists. There is a larger trade in jute. The metal market is rather quiet, and easier terms accepted for copper and spelter a large demand, however, fur loud, and principally on American account.

to give utterance to my ideas the whole meeting would 1,s,agh at mt. which would be very discouraging to any ° attempting to make what they call a "maiden b What I would suggest, sir, is this, that in- TVrl of a begging memorial, we, the ratepayers give them notice insisting of them that better arrangements should be made forthwith. But then you may Bay we have given them power, and they may Juet do as they Irase I eay No. They are our represpntatives to pro- IDote our interests, and the interests of those who fre- quebt our fairs and markets, and they must look to it, otherwise we will deprive them of their power. It is a Tery common saying, when anything is badly done, that a pack of old women would have managed it better. I do not like to be uncharitable, but with all due deference to our worthy Mayor and Town Council, j do venture to say, that my mother, who, by the way, is in old woman nearly 85 years of age, would have managed the affair very much better had she but three or four day 's notice, for some years ago she bad a good deal to do with pigs and potatoes. In conclusion, air, I trust our body corporate will abandon at once and for ever the idea of such a scheme that must prove fatal to the inteiest of the ratepayers, inol^ising for the liberty I have taken.

As he appeared, like a boy in a kilt, open to correction, I jdministered a somewhat pun-gent article, as a sort of bomoepalhic dose for bis meutal disorder of internal by- dropatbv.

IPSO FACTO. THE PRINCE OF WALES FIRE BRIGADE AND I OTHER THINGS. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Sfr —I should have written to you last week only we I were sadly frightened one evening by an alarm of fire. We all thought the house was on fire, and grandmother sent Mary off at once for the Prince of Wales Fire Brigade." Be sure and bring the whole brigade, said the and be sure to bring the captain. Mary was off in a irinute, before she knew what she was going for, or where the was going to, and soon after she was gone we found out that it was only Nadia trying the back door, and throwing his light on theteck kitchen window, which is just under the bedroom window where grand- mother sleeps. As I am writing about firo I might as well tell you HOW COUSIN TOM JOINBD THE FBINCE OF WALES FIRE I BRIGADE. He is a very nice lsd and looks beautiful in bis knick- erbockerip. Grandmother does not like that sort of a trousers, but 1 do. Tom is so funny about the brigade, he says they have to be ready night and day, and he has bad a latch-key made to come in from the fires at night. Dear me, there have been a many tires since Tom baa been in the brigade. You don't put one quarter of them in your paper. I was at aunt's yesterday and she told me that she was afraid poor Tom'd health would iuffer be was called up so often to fires. She is afraid of the house going on fire some night when he is away. She tell me how they came to call Tom up one night and HOW TOM WAS NOT IN BED. I I said I suppose he had gone to another fire, aunt; and I was right. Fancy two fires the same night. Well, Tom does not seem to mind it a bit. Every time I eee him be is as happy and rollicking as ever. One night he told me they came to call him tip and they were ever so long awaking him. I have often heard aunt sr,' that Tom is a very eonnd sleeper. As it is of conscience that the brigade should be up in a moment when they are (alltd, it haa been ordered that every member shall tie a string to his toe when he pot s to bEd to be fattened to eo-re plnco in the street, where no one but the lieutenant knows. I would not have a string tied to my toe for the ivcild, specially if I thought the luutenant was coming to puli at it. It has been stttled now that WKfXHAM 19 THE METROPOLIS OF NORTH WALES.

Perhaps you Would like to know I HOW I WENT TO BUT A riG. I I tever went to buy a pig before. Uncle always his 1 i little lia! on for breakiasi, and he likes it home cured. I in a London paper this morning that the Prince of Walts has bacon tor breakfast. He buvi it nt F.L h's. Well, I went to buy a pig on the lair day —grandmother would cot let Mary buy it without me. I felt lather thy, but I always like to plea:,e grandmother if I can, Because sone day she might But never mind that. To our asioniefmedt when we got into Chester- B',reet we could not find any pigs. I have heard a boy that we used to have cleaning the shoes say pigs might fly," and I began to think they hod done to. S"me one then told us that the pigs had grne to the BeaH Market after the potatoes, so we went there >lftr t!ic pigB and the potato. But oh, my goodness, what a place. I should have fainted only there were so maDY people present. I got on the Hat stepa and there I remained ever so long. As for finding a pig that seemed cut of the question. At last Mr Lamb came and 1Ialked before Wary and me to a place where he thought there was a pig that would do. I did not stop long to pitk, but took almost the first I saw. 1 bought it and paid for i:, I gave a boy sirpuoco to help Mary to dnrt it h ,me. The first thing it did was to run into Dr. iKtkensoii'a surgery. Ob, 1 was ashamed. I hurried oil Lome, leaving Mary and the boy and the pig to take thtir cliatice. Whun unde wants a pig again be mu-t go aDd buy it himself; or if be dots not like that he must 8° sad buy hia bacon at Wallis's. Such is the reaolu- j tilon of AMELIA.
