MEMORIALS OF CHARLOTTE WILLIAMS WYjSIK.* FIRST NOTICE. A wide circle of readers will welcome the issue of a volume which has Liiiiiertec,)tjfinfd tilt-, arej of its circulation to the familyalld fr end, and we venture to ustert that the f eople of England will be better, and the liieratare of England richer by the publication of Memorials of Miss Charlotte Williams VVynn." And while the IJIWK has rare intrinsic worth which wiil com- maud attention on th s, ground alone, it is at the ,me time doubly HI joyalde and interesting t.. tiie people of Wales and the border counties, and s ill more so to those in our immediate neigh- bourhood, wi en we rf-n;, iitier that tije subj. et of the book was a member of the Wynnttay family, and equally cio-ely allied to the bouse of Actoi:. Miss Ciiiiriottt- Williams Wvnn was the t 'dest daughter of the Riyht H-n. Cht-ries Waikm Williams Wynn (uncle to the present baronet, and fatoer t I the Lion, inembei for Montgomeryshire), anil (,f Miry hit, wife, ti.e dilughter or Sir Foster Cai.l fife, Bart., of Acton. She was born in 1807, and, from her fnherV position in public lif-,she was at a very early age thrown iato political soci ty, and tearitto take a keener interest in ail the questions of triP day than is usnal for a piil of fifteen. Her father's intimate friendship with Heber, with Southey, Hailam, Mackintosh, and others, added a strong literary element to tb"t of politics in tbt s ciety by which the was surrounded and the impressions tbes given luver deserted her in later years, and led her alway s to tbke a deep interest in public afiairs, whether at home or abroad. These graver tastes did not, however, pravent her from entering with zest into alllLe lighter amusements of a life which seemed to differ bu' i it tie ftom that of other girls of her age and position. In the year 1836, she accom- panied her parents to Wiesbaden, whither her father bad been sent in the hope of benefit from the waters. On the journey from Rotterdam up the Rhine, then a lonp Li- d tedious steam passege of some seven or ei,-Iit days, she firs' mft Baron Varnhagen von Enae, and, it4 spite of I the great difference in their ages, there was then laid the foundation of a frieudship which lasted till his death in 1858. Mai y substqueut visits to Germany with her father coi firmed and strengthened this fr iendship, as Varnhapen usually arranged to meet them during their short annual s. j' urn at the Baths. The political arid literary rin moirs of Prussia daring the eiirly pirt of this century will suffice to show tlie part that he played in t he liist, ry of his country during this period. Amongst otheis witti uboru at atiti itftt-r this date ahe formed clobe aud lasting friendships destined to colour bei whole regaining life, may b- mentioned Mr jCariyle, Barou Banseu, M. Rio, and the R:v Mr Muur?. To th'&f, much d )u? keen ¡ <joymfut thut she dNived from nnreservi d interchange of thought ""S due. Wi h Mr Mnurice above Id, for whom her regard amounted j to veneration, the uiosi iotUsmtp, friendship subsisted from the y,,Hr 1849 to the very wvfk oi her own death. During the later yetirs of ht-r lift., bt-r li tt!.b failed so much that she passed part of every year ou the C-uitinent, and when, in 18GG, a futttt complaint declared itself, she was chimed to break up her London home, and fa re-ide mora constantly alroad, returning ti, England only for short intervals. She died at Arcachon, April 26, 1869, five days after the death of her sister, Mrs Milnes Gaskell, ut Boideuux.

The letters are mostly addressed to B ROU Varnhagen Von Etis-, M. R.o ,a Bret-N, the B-ironess Bunsen, and the R v. F. D. Mau- rice, oilierb being sent to diff.-ient members of her own family. They commence ij 1839, the two first being dated fr. m Nic*, and the succeeding one from Llang- dwn In t Je notice we gi."

We cannot, how- ever p>-s by a passage in an taily b tt. r, dated November 18, 1841, refer:in.- to Mr Gladsioni Ihey say Mr Gladstone has been given two offices, in order if possible, to kee)i liiin quiet, and by giving him too much to do, to prevent him from troubling his head about the Church but I know it will be in vain, for to a speculative mind like his, theology is a far more inviting and extensive field than auy that is i otfered by the Board of Trade. A a corollary to this, we give in a 'etter written tw(, years la or, Miss Willi .ms Wynn's opinion I on the Irish Church qT sti n, which MrGl.d- ston", long after, himself solved. The lri-h Church is to lie left quiet for this session, hut they must take some decided measure next year. Your friend, General Willisen, is very eager about it, and naturally so. He thought me, I saw, very un- feeling iu the way I mentioned the subject, but he knew not how much I had heard on both sides. Buth churches complain of LJeing oppressed, or, rather, not sufficiently supported. It seems to me that the only line is for the Mate to pay neither Protestants nor Catholics, foi- if, according to the new doctrine, the State is to lie looked upon as an individual, bound to act after its conscience, it does not do so when it pays (and thus helps to further) that which it conscien- tiously believes to be untrue, although it is bound to tolerate it. But this is one cf the difficulties that follow a State Church. Wilting to her G -i in;: n friend in 1S43, she gives in a t ucilil)- mat.o. r all nccouul of the death j of a dear friend, as foliowa The other day we lost my mother's oldest frienri, one who had been her companion in childhood, and literally aden d her. She loved us all like her child- ren in consequence but I had not seen her for ten years. It is a curious coincidence that this perfect i woman (for she was as perfect as a human creature can be) always, like your dear Madame Menuelsohu, pra) ed that s he might die suddenly.he was seized with a tit in the act of giving charity to a beggar out of doors, and died instantaneously. Can one imagine a more beautiful death for one whose whole life was a constant preparation for her end ? And yet I am astonished that the wish to die suddenly withoat being aware of it is so common a one. Surely it is a singular desire ? Mine would be the exact contrary. 1 should ake to die leisurely, and not to do that which can be t'.o ie but once in a hurry. I would nut pass away unconsciously, but rather with all my powers un- quenched to see it approaching. To be allowed to intend to die seems to me the most enviable departure, not the being struck down like a withered tree. In 1853, we have also a let er dated from Pan yochin, Wrexham, ami the fol!owing amus- ing ;De, showing a s'riht' g trait in her charac- ter, dated Llang-dwin, 1813:— My cousin is now here, and has brought over nearly two hundred hounds to hunt some wretched foxes which are supposed to be iu the wood. I pr jposed to him to take a gun and shoot them in order to save time. but be was juite horrified at the idea, so the whwle valley has been disturbed this morning by the howling and screeching of these beasts, and the glorious re.-ult has been three little foxes, to accom- plish which he had to be out at four o'clock in the 11Iurning.

H-re is a charming description of Miss Williams Wynn's rom at LUnaedwyn, in a letter to tbe Biron, dated Aago.-t, 1845: Would you like a description of my room ? I have nothing more interesting to give you. Picture to jourseif, as the novelists say, a square room painted in bluf- panels, of which one whole side is covered J by a piece of tape-try representing a smart be- plumed gentleman, making an enormous Rucephalus- looking hollow-backed charger leap over a pole. In this room, a long time ago when I was quite young, I was very ill, all but dead fr-irn deliriurs, and I per- I fectly remember thinking if that horse would but put down his fore-legs, I should get quite well, but as he I' still persisted in holding them up in the air, they were obliged to cover it over with a curtain, so I owe him a grudge from thit time Opposite comes the high oak chimney-piece, surmounted by a picture of some old saint bending over a book, a skull ind some cross bones, looking naturally rather doleful: then a large Indian screen, a bookcase, a sofa, from which I look out on the terrace and the fountains, complete the inventory, aad you have the scene before you. Could we have sunny, warm days, I should get well, hut the mists and vapours are constantly giving me cold again. Iu the letters written in 1843, we have viv!. sk' t:heB of the French crisis and revolution, und its a pprdlend. d effect ia our own metropolis Daring the ujp > ta:,t everits in Paris iu 1851 iigMir., Miss Wi linns Wynn was in that city, and in her vry full letters we have very copious details of that dangerous epoch, and valuable light, by an independent witness, is thrown upon a grave histerical period. This Paris correspon- dence takes np nearly 100 pages, and it will tuns be seen how minutely the writer bkclchts the situation and events. Following, comes a letter with a t- hort account of the Duke of Wellington's funeral, with tht-rt mark that these public funerals are irrational and pngan," a sentira-nt whioh we agree with, and one which we are giad to note is gaining in public opinion. Miss Williams Wyun and bpr siSfer wintered in R uoe in 1851, aull hn lrttorc of thin period are full of pleasant notes of the Et-rnil Cry. lnclnded in these is a discriptioo of Gibson's tint. d Venns, in which the writpr specially notes 'hat tbe eminent sculptor is a Welshman. Sabstqueutly Naples, Florence, Bologm, Pddua, and other famou- cities are visiud, and ail ct-me in for their -htize of critici'-m, of a mo,t readable kind. Mis- Williams Wynu says Florence reminded her of the Middle Ages, until t j,. illusion was broker, by the appearance uf a bare-footed monk, with hiss'tff in one hand and a railway ticket in another. Rather au anomaly, but becoming "omewbtt common. (To be continued.)

THE WAR. THE WAR IX EUROPE. Ph vnti is now completely surrounded by the Russians, F-Ld Osiuan Pacha quite shut in from Lill lielp. It is reported, ou no discoverable anthonty, that orders have been sent to Osman from Constat t nople to evacuate Plevna. It is scarcely probable that the Poi te would over-ride ihe discretion of its general in a matter of this kind, m which be must be so much more com- j petect to judge than anyone at Constantinople: and if sacu a message had beu sent, we think t-ii. Turkigli Government waud take care not to iet its purport transpire before the operation was -t-teiiijit,.cl. It is all very well, moreover, to tell O,rauri Pacha to eVKcUlte Plevna." Yon may summon spirits from the vasty deep, but they will not come. With the best of intentions the Turkish commander may find the task proposed beyond his power, for the Russian lines of environment are b,ir), strengthened daily in mew as will as in A rks. The Daily Sews correspondent with the Iinmians on the Sofia road states that, with the foici; they have now round PleVDa- 120,000 men—they can fill two lines of continuous trenches alorg the whole line of investment as fuii ar, 1! is convenient for men to lie in such de- fences. As to the supply of provisions in Plevna, on which so much now depsnds, reports are veiy contradictory. A correspondent of ilit Times, who has laiely come out ol the town with the ambulance corp", status that the signs of approaching famine are apparent within the lines of O.mall. The necessaries of life are already at f"mine price. A h-iijil ofpuddiitg of bruised miiizf was the apolotry lor bread daring the timb hut the .vriti-i remained Within the works, and the troops were so closely pressed that there was within the piace material for only a few days' biscuit. Though large supplies of food afterward, came in, these could not support for very long an army so severely tri, (1, eqHcially as the dis- eases which usually accompany scarcity aud ex posure have already marle t twir a ppefirancp, and fever, ague, and dysentery were common. OM the one band, the Turks speak confidently of the sufficiency of th«! stores in Plevua, and their statements are partially cor firmt-d by tiie fepot t of the Daily News correspondent already quoted, who fta'e th:it since his last telegram a herd of some five or six thousand head of cattle bad been discovered, grazing on the hills, whose existence was not known before. Other ind catious p dr t to the probability that Osman may boid out for thirty or forty days yef, though not longer. His army is already on short rations, however, Two sold ers receive two and a baif pounds of meat daily between tti, m, and the supply of bread is not thought to be grett. At any rate, whether Osmsin has supplies for one month or for three, thn r('IIt must he the snme in the eld. H- will have to surrendt r or cut his way out, eitht i- of which will be sueli a disaster for the Turki-h arms tha' Russia will be enabled to briug toe war to a rapid conclusion." The Russians, we are assured, will stay there till Plevua falls, atol they think they already see the beginning of th- end. The most exciting item this week, in connec- tion with the Rustiaii a'tick, is afforded by Col. Sknbebff. It seems that after the last great battle of Plevua, Osman Pacha t )ok advantage of the Russian repulse tu extend his lines ai d t ireiigtheu his positions by the construction of four new redoubts on the Loftcha road, which ( ovtd very embarrassing to the besiegers when the investment of the place was resumed. General Siiobeleff, who occupied Brestovec, on the left oi toe road, jast oppos te the Turkish Kiishina redoubt, from which it is distant about 1,300 yards, was determined to improve his posi ion hy se eing a small wooded hiil im- mediately in front of his ri^ht wing, and a little 'o the east cf the Loftcha road aud this iie i-ventrtal'y succe; ded in doing last Friday. The bill known as Montaceue was defended in trenches, and heid by about fourteen taboff —perhaps 7,000 men. A combined attack was arranged wi h General Gourko on the west, who was to open fire all along the line, an t I kewise advance and occupy the position iu front of him towards the bridge ovrr the Vid, in order to shorten h s line also. Uuder cover of ihe darkness, iutensifiei by a thick fog, Genera! Skobel-ff led the assault in person, and having surcoeded in misleading the Turks as to the r-at r. jctiv.'poinLof the attuck by allowing his ief; wing a; d General Gourkho's corps to do ah t firing, succeeded ill surprising the Turks ou the Covet. d bill, and consolidating their position there, at a cost of oniy 250 men killed and wounded. The Turks subsequently made desperate efforts to re-capture the position, but wert, repulsed each time with loss. The last occurrence was on Sit i' day night, wbvn the Russian general had received information of what was intend- d, aul reinforced the troops in tii- trei.ciu-s. lit then permitted the assailants tu approach within 100 paces, and opened a heavy fire upon them, which compelled them to ill to th-ir entrenchments and d.-fend themselves with a violent cauonad The persistence of the Turks in their end-avour ti re-capture the hill would seem to ind.cate that Osmah Pacha has no present intention either of evacuating or surren- j dering his position. We have no news yet of the relieving force which M h,ul-! Ali, succeeding Chefket Pacha, preparing for the advance on Plevna; but it is announced from Serajevo that Hussein Ft Z:, PdcLa is hi-t ly leaving there with 15 b .t.alions ,aas for Or k liaij i ti, thu, and bat'ery of Krapp gans for Orktianis, thus [ pr»ctiea'iy abandoning the campaign in Bosnia. Ia the Schipka Pass there has beeu some artillery liriLg, which has resulted in the dentil oi the Turkish artillery commandant, Zchiman Pacha. Reouf Pacha states that on Sunday the Russians opened a furiout artillery fire upon th, right ami I.t wings of the Turkish force. The Turks replied, and the engagement, we are told, assnrn- d immense proportions. The Turkish soldier. Reoof Pacha continaes, cheered so enthusiastically that the Russians were afrtid to make t ;-t assault. Five battalions were sum- moned from Gibrova, and of these 500 men are reported to have been killed wiiile passing under tha range of the Tarkish fire. I On the Lom, Safeiman Pacba appears to be in movement with the object of opertitiner agaitist the Russian lines between Biela and Tirnova. There is reason to believq that the force under the command of the Czirewitch has been greatly redocei of late in ordt-r to s trengthen the be- sieging lines rouud Plevna, If so, obviously i Suleiman should strike now or never. Thus far jlJe has been successful in driving in the Russian j outpost-, but until be reaches the Banicka Lom, ittitl is fairly within sigbt of the Rnsgian main po- sitions, it is impossible to say what chance be has "f success. TlJp weather is still favourable to military operations. THE WAR IN ASIA One of those proverbial slips 'twist cop and lip wh:ch are so characteristic uf the fickle fortune of war, seems not ai likely to rob the Russians ef t ieir leng-covett d prize in Armenia, at the veiy moment that it was apparently within their grasp. The fiist assault unon Etzeroum has t-videct v been repulsed with heavy loss, and though the repulse may not be of so decisive a character a" that which turned the tide of success a; Ziwin last summer, it is probably serious enough to wiu a respite for the beleagured cily until the arrival of the eagerly expected reinforcements. The first iitimatiou of the Russian reverse is con- tained in a de-patch from Mukhtar Paciia which appeared on Sitnrday to the tffect that at four o'clock on Friday morning the Russians attacked ibe for: tied pomtions of the Turks at Az zie, ut were rt pulsed and pursued for a distance of one RL-1 a iialf h, ur's march, Bay six miles from E, Zronw. "Toe eOFmy," sajs Mukhtar Pacha, .t was totally defeated aud the trenches of the f rtiticatious wpre filled with his dtad. Some Hddttiona) details of the affair, gleaned evidtntly fiom Turkish sources, are given iu a Renter's j Megrim from Constantinople, dattd midnight on Friday, in wbich we are told that the fighting commenccd at three a.m. and lasted until two p.ra.-a period of elcveu hours. Two Russian coinmus attacked the redoubts at Az z e on the south-east of Erzeronm, and one of them succeeded temporarily in occupying a blockhouse, w hence it Was SubSt qUr-ally dislodged. The southernmost colum", ou perctivio,, the enormou^ losses snstaint d by the other or eastern column, ] beat a retre t, when tbe Tuiks assumed the "ff.-nsive, and pursued tbe Russians as far as the D vi BIJUD, the scrne of .Mukhtar's reverse a week From that point, howaver, the pur- "Utrs iD their trun were driven buck, but ig tin rallied to the attack, aud succeeded in roiiuio the tide of war one,- more np the slopes of "the camel',i back." caDturiits* laige quantities 1.,£ Russian arms and ammunition, but oniy a few prisoners. An Observer telegram adds that the furks allowed the Russian- to corns close up to their entrenchments befort aff^ring auy serious resistance, and then opened upon them at short range a murderous fire of urtillery aud musketry. The blockhouse, on the e.st, which was captured early in the figbt, was only for a few minutes, when the occupants «• re driveu out with heavy loss, and their defeat compelled the Russian left, which was iu danger of briug cut off from its base, to rt treat aiso. B th columus were followed up by tiio Turks, under Moussa and Hassan Taksin Pachas, to whose generalship the victory is mainly attributed. At Deve Boyun the Bussians succeeded the first time in making a staud and repelling their pursuers, but on the stcjnd occasion, when the Turks resumed to the charge, the impetnosity of their attack was uch that they drove the Russians c-mpletfly out of ■he Pass, and, we presume, recccupied the Deve Boyun position. If so, obviously, Etztroum is safe for the present—safer, at all events, than it was a week ago, before the J'm ks had ginned, by bitter experience, their knowledge of Russian tactics, and before their assailants had lust some thousands of men in attacking strong positions like those of Deve Boyun and Az zic. Assuming the Turkish victory to have been as great as these telegrams would seem to indicate, we should not be surprised to le tru tbltt G"u"rltl Heymann had abandoned the idea of proseciring t ie siege of Erz roiun at all events until the fall of Kirs. The difficulties of transport in such a country and at such a distance from the Russian ba-eof opera- tions must be very great, and they are not likely to he diminished by the fu;-t that snow is falling ill Armenia, aud th: t a body of 18,000 mounted Kurds are operating on the Rassian lirie of re- treat, near Hassan Kaleh. If Mukhtar Pacha were strong en ,ugh to carry the pursuit beyoi.d Devt- Boyun, the co-operation of go large a body of cavaby on the in fl iiks naight easily convert a retrbat into a rout, but of this there is j little danger until M ntiiitar'a long-promised re- inforci ments arrive. At Batoum ihe Russians have renewed the ) bombardment of Dervish Pacha's ,josit ous, fiat ) no assault as yet been commenced theie. The garrison of Kars, in reply to a summons from General Melikoff to surrender, have de- clared themselves ready to dt fend the fortress to the last extremity. The state of Kirs, according to thL Daily News correspondent, is almos' hope- less. There are little or no provisions. There are 4,500 sick aud woonded there, and fi ewood is ,>b=olattfly wanting.

I beg on behalf of the Council, to thank the com- mittee of the Eisteddvod most warmly for this im- portant contribution to the funds of the College. The Council recognise in this contribution, an evidence of the sympathy of the people with the in- stitution, as well as that of the Eisteddyad committee. This they deem of the highest Talne. I heartily congratulate the committee on the un- paraleiled success of the Eisteddvod. The complete- ness of all the arrangements which contributed to this, reflects the highellt credit on their vigilance, judg- ment, and business power while the promptitude with which the Eisteddvod accounts have been closed appropriately crowns their labours. I beg to add with reference to the X600 in question, that I have already placed the amount in the hands of a Broker for investment in Consols, in the names of Lord Aberdare, Mr David Davies, M.P., Llaudinam, and Mr Stephen Evans. The investment will always appear in the reports of the Co'lege, as derived from f the Carnarvon .,tiúDa!

Tupre is reason (a proverb gays) in the robstiBg of eggs, and there Hrght have been a rise over some of the rates, bar the advance was unprecedented as re gHds percentage in the history of lines holding a monoply of traffic. This very short-sighted killing of the goose that was laying eggs of silver and copper, if uTt of gold, to get at a better is- salt has been a complete snceess in one respect. The tolls being taken from tue roads and in- creased on the railroad, the traffic on the latter has fallen rft, and to slI'>h nn extent, that many trains are on cp, t-iis days itid honrs nearly empty. The nixi step is t,) take off tht)-v trains. Contractors and others usin the Ii", are being poI to the greatest inconvenience, and their works cannot be reached from 'lie to'.vn where they reside but at inconvenient hours. The next stpp will bp, I suppose, to stop ail trains bat two. I am, yonrs, Wrexham, Nov. 8th, 1877. VIATOR. OUR LOCAL RATES.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Sin,-In your last impression, l'A Resident complains of the misconduct in the str^eis, before and after school hours, of cuiidreu attending different Sunday Schools in the town, and suv.. that it does not s petik much for the religious instruction they are supposed to receive." No one engag-d in Sunday school work c it, fail to be grieved when the discipline of the in- I' stitution is the subject of animadversion but is it Dot possible that outsiders iiku your crrespoij- dent may be expecting too much from the sup- posed religious tecbiDg giHO iu th se school;? Even the admi ted r"¡iious instruction convey, a to Hjia!?s in oar churches a'' I chap-is do"s 1? t, i unfolbnately, succeed in m .!n:.g auitorw iy de- corous citizens of all the hearers.

In the case of a large prsportion of their scholars, Sunday school teachers have, until lately, been the only guides sad instructors they luve had, even in the dir tt: > 1 of making merely good aud useful citizens of them. The Siate lrft them alone, the local authorities lett them alone, Le residents o-i'side the Sonday school left them alone, I0(1 their parents-velt, it could scarcely have been worse, in many cases, .(in worse, i n many cast:s, if they had left toem alone cilso. Perhaps the result of the teachers' efforts doe" not, to casual observers, s peak much for th i r success bat it would be a pertinent question to ask whether, if there had been no such tff n ts, matters would not have been couiileriblv worse for us all. With regard to the shotting and running abo.it, the fctreets, that is an old complain,. C)i. ihe pai of the teachers them-elves in many I'c1.;r¡cls, and I can answer for my own (and I feel that I should ih: safe in answering, even wiihont vurificat 00, for all the other schools iu be t )wu) that tin- scholars have had repeatedly impressed upon them the necessity—and even the duty and ad- vantage as well-of sood hphn vitni* C'ntc;rla O Ul OS weli as ivside the schoolroom.

Will he not try first what a wisp rpmonstrance, kindly conveyed, will do? I think I have grounds for assuring him thnt, patiectly and peroPvi'rir:y tried, he would tiud it to exercise a more rotent and f nlririii- ,.ffect than the services of a policem tn would while it could scarcely fail to bring ultimately more satisfaction to himself.

Nov. 8, 1877. I í MuLD RIIKEDOS. SIR,$Iy attention has been drawn by a friend to a Inter in tLe Liverpool Mercury of the I 29 h uit., aiso to the aittcle in the Wrexham j Advertiser of the 3rd inst., relllt;ve to the reredos which it appears the Vicar of Mold is determined to have placed in the Parish Church «f Moid, contrary to the wishes of utarly hll who now attend that church. It appears P. gerie6 cl me, finjs have been held, public and private, at each of which ttie 1D.,j )rity of voices were raised against it, and at the last II me( tii,Lr, at which the vicar presided, in right of his phs ti. n as vicar, he then, point blank, refased to put to that meeting an amendment to tue effect I" That rhe reredos should not be erected in tne ) church," which induces me to snppose he had i studied the Pope's designs of infallibility, or, as some cllll it, infidelity, which CIOSPS with the follcwir o dogmatic sentence If any one dare j couiradict me, let him be Anathema." Soch appears to have been the vicar's conduct when he sat in the chair of state. If any one dare bring I forward an amendment, let him go ahout his I busios, out of my presence, as quick as he can, for I will not be contradicted." Wli.it is this rertd is ? is it inyihirg else hut a sabstitute for the Roman Ca'holic rood screen, with this difference, that was placed in the houst of their worship so that the Monks and Nitti- could take sln-lt r, or Dlay hide aud seek, by appearing pr disappearing as it suited their lu- clination, while this is to be placed against ft st-ine wall. Therefore, in the petition to the Dtan of St. A-aph, he is asked to grant a faculty or permission to erect what is called a r redos, which is to represent a certain number of "Graven images," or idolatrous figures of t'ie Mar, who wLen on earth was known as Jesus Christ, This question must be treated as He was in ELs iiarn-initv. Alto Graven images" of what the Romau C.tholics call tie Agnus D--i," anti a crowu of thorns supposf d to reprfesent the crown of thorna which the Jews placed on His head in the hoar of dentil, therefore can it be anything else but a c-ilitction of "Graven ieasges" cut in srone or black ani white marble, which ;he vicar is introducing into what was after the Reformation called the Hoti I of G id, which the Vicir is now c uverting in'o a h?use of merchandise, to L-ibibiL the handiwork of ihe c?rv.-r, as a j?eoojen (?f his workmanship, and perhaps indace some nthH R'totti-tic par- son to give him a further order lor his place cf I worship. I The Viisar mn t know that this church was originally eree'ed by the R.01; m C tfholic-t iu Ihe reigu of Henry VII, where ail ihe Roman C itholic ritts were performed in honour of he Pope uud his idolatrious religiou. Now no ts ahout to re- iustate those idolatrous prsetic,s daiiist the wishes of his congregaiioo, I cannot say his parishioners, f Pr 75 percent, of theci h^vealready seceded from the Chnreh of England, entirely thiongh the mipconduc'. of her priests; therefore, I say to the Vicar, beware in timp, before it is toP late to recover your lost ground, for ouce ihe vox populi is heard as a roaring lioo, you know not who will be devoured iu the me 6 As t'le Roman Catholic Bishop of S ilford suys—"A coute-qt is coming, and will come, ard I do uot see auy harm I iu precipitating it." The same language is also used by t ie chief pastor of the Ritualistic parsons, Archdeacon Denison, and now onr Vicar is be- coming oue of the captains in the Pope's brigadi in that contest in this parish. As such, or in any other capacity he likes to assume, I challenge him to pltc-, or to uail his colours, the plans of this reredos, outside his polpit, which, on this occasion, shall serve the purpose of a tnast, oi, Sunday next, or on sume other Sm.dny that will suit best, and preach a sermon, or a series of ser- mons, on the following texts—" Aud God said: Tiiou shalt have no other Gods bat me," "And God said Thou shall not make ui t > thee any -raveu image, or any lik- ness of any thing that is iu heaven above or that is in the earth be- rie:ttli." This Ittv of God embraces the Man Jesus Christ, also the Agnus Dei und the crown of thorns are embraced iu the words, any t ing," that i", or was, uu the eartb. The Vicar is now endeavouring to dt secra e God's House, by introducing graven images into it. Ile iudi- vidually may net boat down and worship it, Lat he wiil be worshipping before it. Wuat 001 t of a conscience must he lt:?vp, when standing at the head of the Com.mi'iioa Table, aud reading the above ciaus-s in the T ui Co.nmandments. and 1 okiocr A t. .1. -t) gruven images, which be biiaself b is caused to bt, spt ul).

I MOKL FAMMA. THE WORKING MEN'S HALL, CAERGWRLE. Sir,-Yt)tir corresi)otzdout M.C. writing in your lost week's issue, while dealing with Working Meu's Halls casually as t would seem gives you the history of the Working Men's Hall a C ergwrle. The writer apparent y knows much of its history, but he wilfully suppresses a very important part of the hi t )ry, and as wilfully distorts the other portion which he professes to give. It seems to me like a istory of England, l -aving out th, Ancient Britons and Anglo-Saxon period, and c >mm ncing only at the Normau conquest. His cr. atmrat of the working men of C-tei*awr?e cornpuli me to wri-e in their defene. and give you the tru" history of the Institution. Your corre-pond- nt's N.
