THE WELSH EISTEDDFOD. Now that the Welsh Olympic games are over, and that spectators and competitors have re- turned to their homes, invigorated, we trust, both in body and mind,—now that the excite- ment is over—the poetry, the oratory, and the music have ceased-a few general remarks may not be unacceptable as we close the Eleian doors and turn oS' the gas for another year and a day. Nations, like individuals, h&ve forgotten their birth-place.. depend upon it; and Ethno- logy will only become a science worthy of the attention of a seeker after truth, when she is content to acknowledge that fact as an un- doubted and undeniable axiom. If all our British histories were burnt to-morrow we be- lieve that the loss would not be so very great, simply because it would leave men free to pursue their ethnological enquiries untram- melled by doubtful traditions. When an Eng- lish magistrate will accept the evidence of an infant as to when or where he was born," we will implicitly believe the written records of a people as to their parentage and birth-place, and no sooner. When a nation, in a semi- state of barbarism, nrst colonises a country, it will have enough to do to hold its own against starvation and wild beasts. It will take that people many a generation before it finds breathing time to write its own history. The Cymry might have come from Rome or Greece, or the Crimea, or Troy, or even from Morgan's great ridge of the Caucasus." They might or they might not. All we say is that the fact is not proved because Giraldus, or Nennius, or Richard of Cirencester say so. We must have some better evidence in support of a fact than the unsupported assertion of men who lived thousands of years after the occurrence. We must go in search of external and collateral evidence—craniology, identity of languages, and the like; and if there be one circumstance more than another which (besides cranial and lingual identity) would induce us to seek for the cradle of the Welsh people in the far East, it is this—the wonderful similarity between the national games of Wales and Greece. A common bond of union between Grecian towns," (says Malkin in hit History of Greece, p. 11), "connected with each other by Mood or alliance, was the institution of periodic&l meetings for religious observances and social festivity. [The Gorsedd and the Eisteddfod.] These meetings were usually made attractive by splendid ceremonies, and by prizes offered to competition in athl&tic exercises, ix POETRY AND Music. A legend existed that Hercules Imd instituted such a festival at Olympia, an Eieian town peculiarly consecrated to Jupiter; and Iphitus, king of Elis, the grandson of Oxylus, projected the making this report a means to soften the mutual enmities of the Peloponnesians, and to provide, at least, a periodical interruption of strife and bloodshed, and to prevent the attendance from being interrupted by war a general armistice was ordered through Greece for gome time both before its beginning and after its close." And so Iphitus king of Elis revived the older games (handed down by tradition as existing in the, prior days of Hercules), and may be said to have held an Eisteddibd at Olympia, in the year 770 before Christ. Now it must be allowed to be something more than a singular coincidence that the Welsh people should have assembled in Gor- sedd, where no sword shall be bared," and upon an Eisteddfod platform where all poli- tical and religious differences are merged in a common nationality," in this year of grace, 18C3,—and that Iphitua, king of Elis, and the Greeks did exactly the same thing 2639 years ago;—not even then, let it be recollected, holding an Eisteddfod for the nrst time, but merely reviving the time-honoured institution of Hercules. In tracing the Welsh nation to its birth-place here is thereibre an incident well worthy the attention of Ethnologists, The Olympic games and the Eisteddfod evi- dently connect the Welsh and Greeks in the remote past. But as our work is not so much to elucidate the past as to improve, if it may be, the pre- sent, we shall leave Archaeologists in undis- turbed possession of Olympia, and address ourselves to Swansea and Rhyl. In the nrst place, we congratulate the Committees of either Eisteddfod upon the signal success which appears to have crowned their praiseworthy exertions. That the Rhyl Eisteddfod might have caused a breach in the good understand- ing which now happily exists between North and South Wales gave rise to some uneasiness, but as the rupture was avoided, thanke to the good taste of the majority of the North Wales Bards, and the singular equanimity of all the men of South Wales, we zincerely trust that by-gones will be by-gones, and that the next Eisteddfod, which both North and South agree to hold at Lhmdudno, will be one of unparal- leled usefulness mid splendour. All parties, both rich and poor, English as well as Welsh, seem pretty well agreed upon the usefulness of the Eisteddfod, as an elevator and educator of the people. The Eisteddfod may be said to be estab- lished in Walea, for the Welsh people at least. But why rest here ? Why not make Wales the Elis of England as well? The l&nd of poesy and song—to which English, Irish, and Scotch bards and minstrels shall be content to nock, and be crowned for compositions in their own t' ngue ? Our English neighbours kindly patronise our Eisteddfods with their presence and means, why not with their com- positions ? If all Greece, be the dialect what it was, Doric, Attic, or Ionic, was content to travel on foot to the Eleian nation to receive the olive garland, why should we doubt that England, Ireland, and Scotland would not readily and gladly come, by steam, into Wales to be crowned with the bity and laurel leaver? Is anything wanting but the invitation ? Whit more likely to cement the happy union which exists between Hngland and Wales, than that, while we, the Welsh people, would williugly go to England to be instruct::d in all questions of science and constructive art at a Crystal Palace or a Gallery of Pictures, they in their turn should concede to us and our Welsh. Eisteddfod the monopoly to crown in music and in song ? We can see no reason against, and every reason for, adding English prizes to those already competed for.

ACCIDENT.-l\Ir. Meredith Jones, of this town, along with some friends, was thrown out of a vehicle in the neighbourhood of Actun Park, on Monday last, to the horse taking fright, and running away, but we are glad to state none of the party were much injured. BUYNYFFYNXOX CHApEL, WREXHAM.—On Sunday last the Rev. Samuel Hooley, of Tunsiall, formerly. Wesleyan minister of this circuit, preached two impressive ser- mons in the above chapel. The congregations w:re large and strikingly indicated the esteem in which the people hold their late pastors indeed, Mr. Hooley is a minister who commands the respect of all who are ac- quainted with his peculiarly terse and practical preaching. He is eminently ntted to feed the nock of Christ, and his diacearees will act sooa be forgotten. Collections were made after the services in aid of the trust funds and realised the handsome sum of J6 8 I Is. NINETY YEARS AGO.—On the 8th of September, 1863. I an interesting meeting was held in the old chapel, Chester-street, (a report of which appeared in our pauer of last week) to commemorate the marriage of Mr Lyon. On the 8th of September, 1773-ninety years ago to the very day—a, happy co-incident, a meeting was held in the same chapel to celebrate the union of the Rev. Joseph Jenkins, A.M., with the church meeting there. We have just been perusing an interesting document, printed in the same year, by J. Eddowes, of Shrews- bury, containing a Confession of Faith," which Mr Jenkins, afterwards Dr. Jenkins, delivered at his ordi- nation. A few copies only were struck off of the pampiilet for the use of the church before whom it was delivered, as a memento of the affecting solemnity which occasioned it. Attached to the pamphlet is a preface, under the antiquated term of advertisement," consist- ing of the mode of conducting the service, which was as f nT follows :—" The Rev. Mr Fawsett, of Wainsgate, York- shire, opened the work, by reading some suitable por- tions of Scripture, and then prayed. The Rev. Mi- Medley, of Liverpool, introduced the ordination. The call of the church and its acceptance, being now public- ly recognised and Mr Jenkins's confession of faith de- o I livered, the Rev. Mr Thomas, of Bristol, prayed over him, the other ministers joining in laying on hands. The Rev. Mr Hartley, of Howarth, Yorkshire, gave the charge from Acts xx. 26. The Rev. Mr Thomas preached to the people from Romans xv. 26 and the Rev. Mr Sandys concluded with prayer. Dr. Jenkins laboured in Chester-street Chapel for many years with } great success and acceptance and some of his trite and pithy sayings remain with us as familiar as household words" Wtil this day. WREXItAÜ RAGGED SCHOOLS.—We &re glad to learn that the recent appeal madg by the committee of the above schools has already been liberally responded to. Several sums will be found acknowledged in our ad ver- tising columns which next week we hope to see con- siderably increased. WpEXHAM CRICKET CLUB.—On reference to onr ad- vertising columns it will be seen that the closing match for this season will take place on Friday next, the 25th inst., between the married and single members of the club, after which the annual closing dinner will be held, when one of the patrons of the club will preside, and after such a successful season we hope the numbers of the patrons of the club will be as well supported at the festive board as they have been in the neld. THE NEW AND OLD COPPER COINAGE.—Itis not often that the public are brought into direct contact with that department of Government so generally regarded as ex- clusive where the coinage of the realm is made. We mean, of course, the royal mint. Now, however, an advertisement appears in our columns for the Rrst time from Mr Graham, the Master of the Mint, who is taking the necessary steps to withdraw the old copper coinage and to issue the new coin in its stead. We un- derstand that whilst large sums have been collected in many places over the entire Kingdom, little or nothing has been sent from Wrexham or its neighbourhood. Tradesmen are, therefore, much troubled with the mixed circulation now existing. We trust, however, that they will now unite in gathering up the old coin and forwarding it to London. It is believed that in this district there is at least .61,500 of the old coin in circulation, and large as this amount seems to be a united effort wouldi soon clear the whole neighbour- hood. This is all the more necessary, as the old coin- age will be declared an illegal tender, when its value will be at once reduced to that of copper," which is worth from lid to Is per lb. CRICKET.—WREXHAM v. WvNNSTAV.—Cricket being the only manly and athletic English game that Wrex- ham can boast of, the members of our local cricket club by increased exertions, and possessmg a secretary who has looked well after the financial department, have been able during the present year to obtain the benefit of the services of a professional to instruct them, the result of which has been an increased proiiciency, causing many to take far greater delight in the game than they had heretofore done. The club has been under a heavy expense consequent upon the engagement of the pro- fessional, and the members have not been able to play as many matches as they would have done, but The firm" consisting of a few members of the club arranged some matches wu.h the neighbouring towns and villages independent, but still under the auspices of the Wynn- stay Cricket Club, in which they had been so very for- tunate on Monday last, as will be seen by the following score, added another victory to its number, in which one of The Firm" succeeded in increasing his average after neatly running two of its members out, and some good cricket was shewn by another promising young player of the same name as one of England's greatest bowlers. The Squire's bowling was as usual very effec- tive. WRICXTT A J. W. Clark run out 6 E. Morris b Walker 21 C. E. Kershaw run out 3 S. C. Jones b Walker 6 J. Jackson b Walker 18 B.

The following scale of charges, signed by Mr John Dobson, as F.B.I.B.A. and President," has been issued by the Northern Architectural Society. Knowing, as their committee must kn&w, that the council of the Institute has long had under consideration tho desirability, or otherwise, of such a publication, they would have moved more wisely, as it seems to us, if-they had acted in concert with the Institute, or at any rate had delayed the issue until informed of the result of Its deliberation. Their scale is calculated to be more inju- rious than advantageous to the profession, and some of items are, indeed, enormous. Five per cent commission is charged for preparing de- signs, approximate estimate, contract and detail draw- ings, and specifications, and for superintendence, consul- tations, and adjustment of accounts, on the total outlay involved by the drawings, or that may come under the supervision of the architect. Three and three-fourths per cent commission i3 charged for preparing designs, approximate estimate, contract, drawings and specifications, and for consultations, upon the amount of the accepted tender, or in the absence of such tender, or the architect's estimate. One and a quarter per cent commission is charged for preparing designs, approximate estimate, and for consul- tations, upon the amount of the architect's estimate. Note-Where old materials are used the commission is charged upon the amount of the archcltect's valuation of thorn, as if they were new. The copyright of the designs and the drawings, are in all cases the property of the architect. On and a-quartertotwo and a-half per cent commis- sion Is charged for taking out and furnishing bills of quantities to contracting tendering.

BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1863.-Before the Mayor (J. Lewis, Esq.) J. Dickenson, Esq., (Ex-mayor) aud Dr. Williams. APPLICATION "FOR A MT-c-Tr' I- '.n'- --— — "J" V.1.1\.i' Hetore any cases were called on for hearing Mr Plice, of the Kio-g'a Head, applied to the magistrates' for a license to permit singing and dancing on his premises. The Mayor asked Mr. Bradshaw if he had anythin°- to say against the license being granted. Mr. Bradshaw thought it objectionable, inasmuch as it was a means of gathering young people together that ought not to he at such places, and it likewise caused late hours. The applicant said he would "stop the fiddle" at half- past eleven. The Ni ayor said he thought they would try the experi- ment for six months, but the uddle must be stopped as Price expressed it at 10 o'clock. He wished to say they were somewhat averse to granting the license, al- though they had done so. The police were ordered to take notice Of the house. The licence was subsequently limited to three months' on account of Adams' dancing parties nguring in a case that follows, SUMMONSES FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RATE<! There were different summonses on the list for non- payment of rates, but only one or two cases were brought into co.u-t, in which orders for payment in a week were ordered to be made out. DRUXE AND DISORDERLY. dames Wilding was charged as above. The wife of James Jones, Pentrefelin, said that on Sunday week the defendant came up to her on the street and used very ?he?S?-unk her, ???S ?curses and oaths -he was drunk. on The defendant said the complainant drank more in one week than he did in a month. Fined Is., and costs, 8a. CONVICTION OF A POLICEMAN FOR ASSAULT. cz v ?""?s??monses taken out in this charge t?, t??.? ?T?, ?understood by treating it as one case: The parties who ngcred in it were P.C. Houghland an omcer m the borQugh force, on the one side, and Patrick Thute and Peter Leddie, on the other. From the open- inct remarks of Mr. Jones, who was retained for Hough- land, it appeared that on Saturday night, the 5th of Sep- tember, Thute in company with Leddie, and a man who had been a policeman in the Dublin force, were in the King's Head, Penybryn, when there was a disturbance and the police were called to quell it. After expelling the men they turned up near Grrimths' vaults, where there was, or had been, a nght, when the policemen Houghland and Whitcombe came up and endeavoured to clear the street. Thute opposed them and offered resistance in the name of Mr. Fitzhugh, whom he said he served. On being driven towards the Swan Inn he beatHoughland, and Whitcombe came to the rescue, and in defence no doubt used his staff pretty freely. This was one version of the affair, to support which P.C. Southland gave evidence, he said that about a quarter past '11 on the Saturday night he was called into the King's Head and found Leddie, Thute, and some more makmg a disturbance, he turned them out and on doing so he heard one say he would have it out, but did not understand what he inea.nt. About a quarter past twelve he heard of a nght near Grimths' vaults, Penybi-yn. He went and endeavoured to disperse the men. Thute and Leddie were obstinate. He and Whitcombe drove them towards the Swan, when they seized his stick and struck him with it. Whitcombe came to his assistance and used his staff. The men afterwards went off towards Plas Power. Theri were some five or six of them. The witness having been cross-examined by Mr Sher- ratt, who appeared for Thute— Mary Price, daughter of the landlord of the King's Head, was called and deposed to the men being together at her father's house, where there was dancing going on and the iiddls playing occasionally. Mr. Sherratt denied the alleged assault on the police. He said the men were going quietly along Ruthin road, when the policeman followed and beat them unmerciful- ly, leaving Thute lying in a pool of blood on the road. He called Peter Leddte, who corroborated this. On being cross-examined by Mr. Jones, the witness, who had a cut on the forehead, said he got a box him- self, but said no more about it, the reason was the man was too much for him. Patrick Thute called, said-I was going quietly home when Houghland struck me on the shoulders and said, Go home I said, I am going, do you want me to run?" He said, He would make me run." I went down Ruthin road thinking he would not follow me there. He did, assaulting me all the time. I seized his stick, when Whitcombe came up, and a blow on the head from one of them knocked me down senseless. This witness had his head plastered in different places. Margaret Rogers, who keeps the toll-gate, was going home about twelve by Penybryu. Saw a number of men and two policemen beating one of them. They fol- lowing him to Ruthin turning, when she saw the man fall down by the nnger post, he appeared to fall through the effects of a blow. Dr. Davies, who attended Thute deposed that he had when brought to him four contused wounds on the scalp, one W9.s bleeding. Although one was deep they were not large but there was much contusion. Such blows would be produced by a blunt instrument. By Mr. Jones-The man had a considerable amount of drink. By the Bench-Such wounds might have been pro- duced by a fall. Leddie having again been asked a few questions, the case was abandoned so far as he was concerned. Mr. Jones then addressed the bench on behalf of the police omcer Houghland, after which he called another witness. Edward Roberts, who said Houghland did not strike Thute a blow between Highgate and the Swan, but Whitcome struck him with his staff, like beating don- keys," "he gave it him," said the witness, "to his heart's content." In reply to the Bench, Mr. Bradshaw said Houghland had been in the force nine months. 0 This being all the evidence, the magistrates retired, and on their return, after a short absence, The Mayor said this was a most painful case. He had been requested by his brother magistrates to state that no case which had been brought before them had given them so much pain since the town had been incor- porated. He was disposed to give credit to the police force for having generally conducted their duties with discretion and forbearance. He regretted that there had been none in'the present instance. 0 He could not advert to the conduct of Whitcombe without indignation, and he felt most assured that had he appeared he would have been convicted for two months without the option of a nnc. For Houghland there was some little allowance to be made, he had been but a short time in the force, yet the case against him was substantially unanswered, although it was clear the principal onemler was Whit- combe, who was not present. Houghland was nned .El, and costs 13s., and in default one mouth's im- prisonment. j THE UMBRELLA STEALING CASE. j ihis case, in which the defendant, David EMis, neg- lected to appear last court day. and thereby incurred the forfeiture of his recognizances, again cams on for hear- ing, the defendant proving in excuse that he had gone to the wrong court through mistake. From the facts of the case, which were g iven at length some time ago in the "Advertiser," it will be remembered that Mrs. Evans, of Bcrse Chapel, was passing by the Inhrmary, when Ellis passed her and snatched an umbrella she was carrying out of her hand, he and the umbrella were sub- sequently found near the railway station. On being asked by the Mayor what lie had to say to the charge, the man said he knew nothing of it, he was quite drunk at the time and remembered nothing. Mr. Wilcoxon having given him a good character, from a knowledge of six or seven years, The Mayor said it was well some one had spoken fa- vouiably of him, he should on that account treat the case as one of assault only, and fine him 10s. and costs 12s.

WREXHAM COUNTY COURT. I WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1'6.—Before Robert Vaughan Williams, Esq., Judge. The usunl monthly sitting of the County Court was held as above, and the number of plaints on the list, we believe, was rather above the average for this district being 298 new cases, and 5 adjourned from last Court day. The chief case called on for hearing during the day was one of some interest to architects and builders, we refer to that of GUMMOW V. BUXN, I J.o try wmcn a jury was sworn, consisting of the follow- ing—Messrs. E. H. Jones, Joseph Floater, J. F. Edis- bury, J. Beirne, and D. A. Jones. Mr. Morgan Lloyd was counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. M. Gummow, architect, of thts town. AIr. John Jones conducted the case for the defendant. In his opening remarks, Mr. Lloyd said—The sum sought to be recoveredwasJElO 2s., although the amouut was small the issues were important. About 1861. Mr. Bunn entered into an agreement to build a villa for Capt. M'Coy, at Gresford, for f 1,546, and Mr. Gummow su- perintended the builclii)[t as,,treliitect. Tlirotigh ztd(litioiial orders and deviations from the plan, there was a claim for extras, as there generally is in building undertaking, the amount of which was JE869. In the course of, or after making out that claim, the defendant not havino- kept an account of the measurement, applied to Mr. Gummow to measure the extras, this was done, and the amount of the extras was agreed to and he believed had been paid by Captain M'Coy. Mr. Gummow now ap- plied for the builder's share of the measurement, which was charged at the rate of about 2i per cent. on the valuation—.E8G8, and which was according to the ener-il rules one half of the total produced at that rate. Mr. -Lloyd nrst called The plaintin-, Mr. Michael Gummow, who said—I have been an architect in Wrexham a number of vears. I was architect of Captain M'Coy-s villa, at Gresford. Was asked by Mr. Bunn, the builder, to go to Gresford to measure the extras, in 1861, or the beginning of 1862. i said it wasn't convenient for me to go then. He called several times, and ultimately I sent my assistant, Robert ticking. The whole time he was engaged there and at Mr. Hunu S office on business connected with the mea- surement, amounted to 23 days, my sou also was there. The witness said he claimed 2-1 per cent. for the work 2 per cent. for the work, and charged the defendant, as was the custom, his share of half the amount. Cross-examined by Mr. Jones—Understood he was employed both for the owner and Mr. Bunn. It was commonly done. His Honour seemed to think the practice was bad. Mr. Jones thought it "a custom more honoured in the breach than the observance Cross-examination continued-The whole issue was who produced the measurement. Captain M'Coy and Mr Bunn he believed disaoi-eed, and referred the mat- ter to Mr.Hamson, of Chester. Robert Cocking, assistant to Mr. Gummow, deposed to takhi- the measurements in company with Mr. Bunn. There was no particular work allotted to either—some- times one held the tape and the other the book, and ViC8 ?? The ?"? ?P'? ? ? measurement amounted to-"ether to about 23 days—sometimes only two or three h? ul.8 a day were occupied, but the hours added together counted as above.
