Dugdale, Mr P. P. Pennant, C,C., Col. Standish Hore, Mr J. Scott Bankes, &c. CHURCH EXTENSION SOCIETY. The Dean of St. Asaph read his report, from which it appeared that the estimated receipti for the year ending December, 1891, amounted to 1:1.116 13j 81, leaving an estimated balance at the end of the year of £108 18J 8d. The grants during that period amounted to 2888 los. In a powerful speech the Dean urged the employn.ent of lay evangelists. That The Hon. George Kenyon, M.P., moved "That the rural deans be requested to bring before their respective chapters the desirability of giving each rural deanery two Sundays for making simultaneously offerings in support of diocesan societies." He thought greater suppoit should certainly be g iven to the societies, and for himself thought that the resolu- tion moved was worthy of the approval of the meet- ing. (Hear, hear.) Mr J. Scott Bankes seconded the resolution, and said that the fundi oi the Church Extension Society were not creditable to the Iiell community that be- longed to the Church of England. Mr P. P. Pennant said that if people were made more acquainted with the formation of such societies, they would be better supported. The Dean of St. Asaph said they greatly needed two clergymen to relieve the clergy in rural parishes. (Hear, hear.) The Bishop said it was perfectly evident that the society required increased support from the diocese, and he believed they would obtain greater liberality from the laity if they understood the value or realised the importance attached to the society. The report was adopted. THE LATE EARL OF POWIS. j The Bishop said he vvuiied to reter for one moment to the death of the late Earl Powis. lie need not say much on that point, as it was one on which they all felt keenly, but there were one or two things in the late earl's character which impressed him very much, the chief being his great sense of duty. (Ap- plause.) His lordship never made a fuss about doing his duty. One strange thing was that his lordship was a most ignorant man. He seemed to be utterly ignorant of how to do a jub of any kind. (Laughter.) Any one who knew his lordship could not fail to be impressed with his grave rtssrve, which sometimes seemed almost to amount to indignation. They, however, would all miss him as a valuable supporter of Church matters. (Applause.) I Sir Watkin Williams Wynn moved—" That this r meeting desires to tecord their sense ot tiie heavy losi sustained by the Diocesan Church Building Society through the death of the Right Hon. Earl P<>wis, who for close upon half a century has been one of its vice- preaidentf, a very generous contributor to its fund, and has at all times taken an active interest in the affairs of the society, and the Church in Wales gelle- rally has to lament the removal of this good man."— Sir Robert Uunliffe seconded, and the resolution was carried. CHUHUH CUR<FEDERATION. The Kev. J..f!'airchild, M.A., principal of Car- narvon Training College, introduced this subject. He was extremely anxious that something should be done in that direction. If not they would be the only diocese where a union of church elementary schools was not being carried out. It was equally certain that free education would tend in the same direction, for the new grant of ten shillings would not spare the pockets of the managers and subscribers of their elementary schools, but in order that their schools might raise themselves to the moral standard of what elementary education should be, improved education was necessary. The times and State demanded it, and he was sure no one would deny that an improve- ment was necessary, especially in their rural schools. It was the rural schools that would be benefited chiefly by the ten shilling grant, and in the future the amalt rural schools would be placed on an equality with the large town schools. (Applause.) In some dioceses there had been formed many church school councils, which were grouped arJiuid the rural deaneriep, consisting of fifteen to twenty members, with a fair proportion of laymen and school teachers. They met once a month, and it had been found that the result was a deeper and more extended interest in their elementary education and, following the deeper interest, greater supported. He thought they would never have another Government in power who would deal so leniently with them as the present Government had done, and, therefore, they would have to get into working order at once. Lhe llishop said if the matter were put more prominently before the laity, greater support would be forthcoming for their poorer schools. It was perfectly clear to them that they must endeavour to secure larger funds to place at the disposal of the central body of the Diocesan Board of Education to assist the poorer parishes. The Dean (f St. Asaph proposed in the opinion of this meeting, no time should be lott in effecting a confederation of Church school in this diocese. Sir Robert Cunliffe, in seconding, said it was very evident that nnder the new code there was some danger attached to the rural schools. The resolution was carried. DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION. I The ltev. Julias Owen, M.A., diocesan inspector, read his report, which was adopted on the motion of Sir W. W. Wynn, and seconded by the Hon. G. T. Kenyon. CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY. I The Rev. Canon Lewis, Trefnant, read the minutes of the last meeting, and the report of 1890. The members of the executive and Bub-committees were re-elected. In the absence of the Yen. Archdeacon Howell, Canon Lewis moved "That the word 'three' be substituted for the word five at the close of Rule III." The Ven. Archdeacon Williams seconded the resolution. Carried.—The following grants were allowed.—Brymbo, £ 75 Hirnant, 29.5 Llansant- ffraid-yn-Mechan, 175 Minera, £200; Selattyn, £ 75. Several grants were not allowed through want of funds. WIDOWS AND ORPHANS' CHARITY. I Mr R. bisson, treasurer, read the statement of the above Society, there being five new applications for grants. The meeting closed with the pronouncing of the Benediction by the Bishop.

SALMON FISHING. A considerable number of fine salmon have been I caught in the Dee in the Vale of Llangollen during the past month. Major Cross the other day caught a salmon weighing 151bs., and two weighing about 121bs. each were caught by Mr Page, the Woodlands. Saveral large ealmon have also recently been caught by the Right Eon. Shaw Lefevre, M.P., who has been staying at the Hand Hotel. ———— ————

Mr Morgan, Snewen, Glamorganshire, and the Rev. J. Bowen Jones, B.A Brecon. The congregation was very large. SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.—The anniversary of the English Baptists Mission Room in Stryt-issa, was held on Sunday. In the afternoon Mr H.

About eleven o'clock a procession was formed, num- bering sixty, and, headed by their banner and the Maelor Brass Band, having paraded the district, the club returned to headquarters, where dinner was awaiting them. The catering of Mr and Mrs Tunnah was as usual all that could be desired. The accounts show that the ledge is in a very satisfactory condition. It is one of the oldest in this district. The amount of sick pay is 10s a week, the death pay being £10. LAYING OF MEMORIAL STONES. The laying of the memorial stones of the new English Baptist Chapel, Aberderfyn, took place on Friday afternoon. The attendance was fairly good, but several who had been expected were unable to be present owing to unforeseen circumstances. The stones were laid by Mra Simon Jones, Wrexham, Mrs Robot ti*, Bank-street, Poukey (on behalf of Alderman Cory, Cardiff), Mrs Thomas, Hafodybwch. and Miss Thomas. The Groes (on behalf of Master Trevor Davies, Llangollen.) The following were the con- tributions made on the cciasion :-1\1r8 Simon Jones, £ 20; Mis Thomas, Hafodybwch, 25 Alderman Cory, £5 (with a further promise of so much per cent. on the amount raised by the church); Mr John Owen, Liverpool, 25 Master Trevor Davies, £5; Mrs Lloyd, Adwy, 1:4 Mrs Thomas, Groes, t3 31 Miss Thomas, Groes, 1:2 2s Mrs Henry Rees, 22 2s Mr T.

Henry liees, pastor, total of Rev- R. Roberts and O. J. Owen, Independent ministers, and the Rev. Richard Williams, minister of Hill-street English Chapel, delivered short addresses in which they referred to the necessity for the erection of another chapel. The recent census had frhown that there had been a great increase in the population of this dhtdct during the last decade. It was their duty to provide eutficient accommodation in the way of places of worship for the great number of strangers now employed in the different industries of the neighbourhood. Mr J. Evans, Church-street, gave a short history of the English Baptist cause. It appears that it was originated in February, 1883, by the late Mr E. Bryon, Mr Evans, and some other friends. The meetings were held at first in the vestry room of Penuel Baptist Chapel in High-street, from which place the cause was removed to Aberderfyn to the old chapel which had just then been vacated by the Scotch Baptists. This was in March, 1884 Since that time the little church has increased in number and in strength. It has received material help time after time from Alderman Cory, Dr. Gethin Davies, Llangollen, Mr Simon Jones, Wrexham, and other friends. Through the interest of Dr. Davie?, students from Llangollen Baptist College have abundantly ministered to its spiritual wants. Mr Thomas Phillips, now stationed at Kettering, superintended the church at one time. Aftewards his place was taken by Mr Humphreys now stationed at Ashton-under-Lyne. The 10.11 of September, 1888, saw the incorporation of the little cause as a church. In the eaily part of 1890 the church gave a call to the Rev. Henry Rees, Llaner- chymedd, to become its pastor. Mr Rees accepted the call, and on the 17th of July last year his recognition service was held. Under the care of Mr Rees the church has prospered greatly, and felt itself strong enough to extend the cords of its habitation by the erection of a new chapel on Furnace Bank at a cost of about L1145. After the ceremony of the stone laying was over, an excellent tea was supplied at the old chapel by Mrs Jones, Arvon House, Hall-street, assisted by Mrs Jacob Davies, Crook House, Mrs John Thomas, Maelor View, Johns-town, Mrs George Roberts, Hyfryde, Miss Williams, Hall- etreet, Miss Fanny Thomas, &c. A public meeting was held in the evening, the Rev. Gethin Davies, D.D., presiding, who after giving out a hymn for singing, delivered a highly interesting and inspiriting address. He said that he wished to give them a word of cheer at the coinmencement of their great undertaking. They were weak and feeble now, but feeble things in time grew strong. He advised them to cling to the ivocv, to cling to brod, and they need not fear. Let them do just what they could do, and God would do the rest. No single faithful effort would go unrecorded and unrewarded. The itev. Henry R;¡e8 read a letter which he had just received from the Rev. Robert Jones, Capel Alawr, regretting his inability to be present at the meeting, and wishing them God speed in their great undertaking. Mr Evans, a gentleman from South Wales having spoken a few words, on the motion of Mr ltee*, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Davies for his presence, and for the excellent address he had de- livered to the meeting We have been requested to state that Alderman Cory, who had been announced t) be present, was called home from Llangollen just at tha last moment, and that he will be again in North Wales in the course of a few weeks.

RUTHIN. I FLOWER SERVICE AT ST. PETER'S.-The annual I Sower service was held at St. p ter's on Sunday.

I Richard Davies, miller, Llanferras, sued John Jennings, faimer, of that villaze. forthe value of two sacks of Indian meal. Mr F. L.

Tiie Judge said there was no evidence of delivery, and gave judgment for defendant with costs. NO NEW FEATURES. The case ot ICichard urimths v. oamuei uwen, heard at the previous Court, in which the delivery and weight of straw was disputed, and in which judg- ment was given for the defendant, was to have been reheard, plaintiff having made application for a new trial.

W.F. mustering in strength for the last time before I going to camp. A few words of "caution and good heed" were given by the Captain and Sergt.-instruc- tor.

FLINTSHIRE JOINT POLICE I COMMITTEE. A meeting of this Committee was held at the County Hall, Mold, on Thursday. Present :—J. Scott Bankes, Esq. (chairman), Sir W. Gienville Williatnp, But, P. B. Davies-Cooke, E-q, J. Herbert Lewis, Esq., Dr. Edwards (Mold). R. V. KVlkp, Eq., illessriz. E. Thompson, E. Wheldon, A. I Mesham, W. Wvnn, Alun Lloyd, C. P. Morgan, J. A. Parry, R. J. Jones. J. Evans, with Mr T. T. KlJy (clerk), Major R. T. Webber (chief constable), and Mr D. Williams (county surveyor.) THE CHIEF CONSTABLE 3 REPORT. ) The Chief Constable (JYLajor 1. l. Webber) reported that by the crime returns for the quartar ending 30th June, which was furnished for the last Quarter Session0, there were 4 indictable offences reported, and 4 persons apprehended. Of these 2 persons were bailed for trial, and 2 committed for trial, as against 5 offences, 3 persons apprehended, 1 bailed, and 2 committed for tiial for the corres- ponding period of last year. There wjie 287 persons summarily proceeded against, of whom 248 were convicted, against 272 with 233 convictions during a similar period in 18'JO. Of the 2137 persons summarily proceeded againt, 37 were for assaults cr breaches of the peace, 78 under the Elementary Education Act, 89 for drunkenness, 9 for lare.-iiiee, and 7 under the Vagrancy Act.—There had been a slight decrease in drunkenness since his last report. The accounts for the quarter en ling 30th June had been examined by Mr J. E. Edwards, and found correct. They had also been inspected by the sub-com- mittee.—The county dog cart at present in use of the superintendent at Mold was quite woru out. He recommended that a new one should be supplied. According to instructions he had prepared a return showing the average amount of coal supplied to the different police stations during a year, together with the last prices paid per ton, and also the quantities for which there was storage accommodation in each place. He required the sum of 1;1,500 on account of pay and contingencies for the three months ending 30rh .November, lbifl, I The tender of Mr It. Smith, Mold, to supply a dos- I cart for 216 10', after deducting 4:6 101 for the old c.\rt. was accepted. On the motion of Mr Wheldon, seconded by Mr J. A. Parry, the Chief Constable was requested to purchaee six tons of co;il for each of those police stations where coal was immediately required. The report was adopted. THE COMMITTEE AND THE POLICE. Sir W. G. Williams said he would like the chiet constable to go about the country a little more than he did at the present time. He was of opinion that the officer ehould make it a point of attending the ptincipal events that are held in the county, but as it now was, they were told that if a man wanted to commit a crime he wou!d come to Flintshire. lie thought that the chief-constable should exercise more judgment in going about the county, as the rate- payers ought to have a certain amount of work out of such an officer, seeing that he was paid so well. Alderman Alun Lloyd was grateful to Sir William for bringing the matter forward. He had received an anonymous letter from Holywell Co the effect that the police force was too large there, and the men useless. Mr Davies Cooke said lie would not take any notice of such a communication. Mr Lloyd said he wculd not do so, only that he knew that the complaint was true. Mr Edward Wheldon was of opinion, seeing that the chief constable had no notice of the matter, that it was unfair of him to biing it forward. Major Webber said no doubt Sir William had a go od obiect in consideration, but still he did not think it fair to bring such a serious charge against him, seeing that he had been given no notice that it was coming forward. He had been round the county very frequently, and told nobody when he was going. and had he been acquainted that this matter was to be brought forward, he would have prepared a return, showing how many times he had been to each district. Sir W. G. Williams thought that if there were any complaints to be made they should be made to the corn mitt e. Col. Mesham thought it was wrong that the quer- tion should be brought without notice. The Chairman suggested that the Chief Constable I should attend at important gatherings, and would li,, e to mention that the remarks did not cast any ill- feeiing upon the Chief Constable. Ald. J. Herbert Lewis moved that the Chief Con- stable be instructed to (1) make inquiries and report t) t'le next meeting of t'le Council (a) as to the number of licensed ale-houses in each parish and petty sessional division in the county (b) as to how far the number of licensed houses in each district is in excess of the reasonable requirements of such dis- trict (c) as to those houses which are inconveniently j situated for police supervision (d) as to what houses have been closed for business during any, and what pait, of the past two yearn. (2) to oppose at the en- suing licensing sessions the renewal of all licences to public-houses which do not appear to be required to supply the reasonable wants of the district in which they are situate and also to give particulars of the accommodation for posting and lodging in the public- houses, and the number of persons who had been pro- ceeded against during the past twelve months for serving children with drink." A long discussion took place, and the resolution, with some modifications, was carried.

On Wednesday and Thursday Messrs Lythall Mansell, and Walter's great sale of sheep will be held at Shrewsbury.

THE WREXHAM GUARDIANS AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. At the meeting of the Wrexham Board of Guardians on Thursday, the Cleik (Mr J. Oswell ILry) drew the attention of the Guardians to a report in tne Wrcxhani Adccriiscr of tile jubihe dinuer of ) the Royal Prince of Wales Lodge, G.U.O.O., i-S which the Secretary was said to have mad e the fol- lowing remarks :—" When a man went before a B-iard of Guardians he was asked if he belonged to a Friendly Socitty, and if he did, he was told he could not be allowed anything. He thought if the F, iendly Societies took the matter up, something might be done. An improvident man who went before the Guardians and said he was destitute, and did not belong t) a Friendly Society, was assisted. They had known C:is-es amongst their own members." Dr. Parry Jones. an ex-guaidian of the poor, was alak.,o rti- poi t :d t liave ,iAid :As to what ha i been said as to the m mhers and Boards of Viuardi illS, he thought t was a vey great shame that members of Friend y So^-i-ti^es should be deprived < f privilege accorded street loafers. (Hear, h( ar.) He thought the members of a c!ub might he allow.d some out- relief, if it were somewhat smaller than that usually iranted. The man who saved up for a rainy (tay did net much love the workhouse, iiiendly Societies should tike the nutter ur." Another said He wanted tinm to agit»te, and to ask those who came for their votes whether they were prepared to introduce in the Houi' of Commons a Bill to help Friendly Societie?, and tik t;.e 1-1)1 r out of the hands of the Board of Guardians Thera waq no truth in the ttifementp, for the G.iardian? had made it a rule 1o help those who fitli-el them- eelves, and there were several cat:s in which members of Friendly Societies had their sick pay supnlemented by relief granted by the Guardians. The Chairman said he had read the report referred t, biit he di.1 not thinlc the remarks were woithy of notice. They were made by people outside, who knew little or nothing about the administration of the poor law. -Air John Rogers said he wa Porry Dr. Parry Jones had made the remarks read by the Clerk. It only showed that Dr. Jonef, perhaps owing to his large practice, had not been able to attend to the business of the Board, while he was a member. It was well known by t.-te Guardians who attended regularly, that the fact of a man being in a Friendly Society, and entit'ed to sick pay, was rather in his favor than otherwise. The matter then dropped.

Lewip. curato ot was presented with a silver teipocand purse of £ :>? in the Schools at Gresford by Air Trevor Parkios on behalf of the parishioners. The Ven.

Mr Rowlands was the oldest gentleman within twenty oiiles. if not the oldest in Carnarvonshire, and was well-known and highly respected. The Rev. J. Gower, Vicar of Trefriw, visited him often at Ty Ucha (where the late Rev. E. Evans, Ieuan Glan Geiiionydd, the great poet, died), and they be- came great friends. The Vicar has been most kind to him in his old age, and would have attended his funeral only for indisposition.

An advertisement an- pounces tb,t;, a meeting will be held on the 8th mat., at Chester, to advocate the holding there of the Royal Agricultural Society's Show tor 1893. The movement we are sure will secura the cordial support of all agriculturalists in North Wales. THE WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCIIOOL.-Tlie annual festival of this school took place on Friday, when the party, numbering 500, left Wrexham by special train at one o'clock for Llangollen. On arrival at Llangollen, they marched to the Recreation Grounds, and the day was variously spent. Tea was served in the Assembly Rooms at four o'clock, and at half. past eight the party left for Wrexbam, which was reached in good time. The weather was very fine. THE LATE MRS BRUNT.—Many readers will re. gret to learn of the death of Mrs Brunt, which took place on Thursday morning at her residence, Bellevue. The deceased lady, who was G7 years of ago, was the relict of Mr Rd. Bruut, for many years deacon of Zion Chapel. She took an active interest in the religious work of that place, and her loss will be felt and regretted. She leaves one son — Mr John Brunt, Town-)iill-and one; daughter, the wife of the Rev. Hugh Roberts, formerly missionary in India. The funeral takes place to-day (Saturday) at the New Cemetery, the; cortege, leaving the house at three o'clock. THE WORKHOUSE CHAPLAINCY.—Tne Christian World refers this week to the recent discussion at the Wrexham Bjard of Guardians on this subject. After stating the proposal of the Nonconformist ministers' of the town to save the salary, the paper continues—" This proposition, however, roused the wrath of a vigilant Anglican member of the Board, who characterised the Nonconform at proposition' a dictated by malice, envy, and hatred of the church.' This gentleman must have a highly-educated eye to see all this in a proposition, which to simple people like ourselves seems eminently reasonable, disinterested and Christian. If he and his friends use up all their condemnatory articles towards con- duct such as this, one wonders what they would have left for actual breaches of the Ten Command, ments. To be a Dissenter is, however, we presume, in their eyes, a breaking of them all en bloc. R&F&RM CLUB, WREXHAM. This building is now being decorated and furnished in order to enable the committee to announce its opening to the members as early as possible. We hope that the Furnishing Committee will have proceeded so far with their work as to enable us in our next issue to give the definite date upon which it will be opened for the use of the members. Two very handsome mahogany billiard tables have been this week built up in the first floor room, and two equally handsome oak tables in the second floor billiard room by Messrs Orme and Sons, Manchester. The selection of a suitable steward and stewardess has occupied the attention of the General Com- mittee for some time, their greatest difficulty being to make a selection out of such a large number who presented excellent testimonials, but we learn that ultimately their choice has fallen upon Mr and Mra Thomas Breslin, of Llandrinio, near Oswestry. Mr Breslin has served in the Carabineers, and has had considerable experience in many of the duties which will devolve upon him as steward of the club.

R. Evans and Mr Thomas Bury, the hun. secre- taries, at the request of the Mayor, "to consider what course should he adopted in reference to a letter from the Clerk to the Joint Committee for I the county of Denbigh, as to the proposals for the establishment of an intermediate school in Wrex- ham." There were present: The Mayor (Dr. Palin), who prrsided, Sir Robert Egerton, Aid. Juo. Jones, Mr W. J. Russell, Mr John Fiancis, Mr W. Ellis, Mr B. Lewis, and Mr Simon Jones, Mr Thomas Bury.—Letters of apology for absence were read from Sir Robert Cunliffe, Bart., Mr John Prichard, Mr J. R. Burton, Mr W. Overton, Mr J. E. Powell, Captain Griffith-Boscawen, and Mr W. R Evans, the latter gentleman, who is co- secretary, explained that he was so frequently absent from Wrexham that he suggested that some one else should be appointed to the office. The Committee then considered the letter referred to in the circular convening the meeting. The Joint Committee proposed purchasing the Grove Park School premises. Towards the expense of the purchase and alteration, the Committee proposed (with the consent of the governors) to conveit the Grammar School funds, and to add £ 2,000 from the county money. The Committee also expected the locality to raise £ 1,500. The members discussed the letter in a conversational way for some time, and eventually the following resolu- tion was carried ou the motion of Ald. Jnj. Jones, seconded by Sir Robert Egerton :— That this committee, whilst sharing in a large degree the public interest in the promotion of an intermediate school for Wrexham so far as indicated in the letter of Mr Adams and approving of the same, feel that they should be furnished with further information with regard to the matters in suspense, and especially as to the intended grade of school and fees to be charged."—The resignation of Mr W. R. Evans was regretfully accepted, and Mr John Francis very kindly con- sented to act as co-secretary of the committee with Mr Thomas Bury. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—At the fortnightly meet. n g of the Board of Guardians, on Thursday, there were present :-Capt. Griffith-Boscawen, in the chair Mr John Rogers, vice-chairman Sir R. E. Egerton. Mr T. Ll. FitzHugh. Mr S. Yorke, Mr A. Peel, Rev. T. H. Puleston, Mr W. Lester, Mr J. A. Hogan, Very Rev. Canon Hopkins, Rev. P. W. Sparling, Rev. S. G. Woods, Messrs J. Bithell, Edward Woolrich, Richard Hughes, F. A. Sturge, Edward Roberts, John Jones. John Brereton, Edvrin Edwards, George Clarke, Richard Randles, J. W. Evans, W. Dickin, Edward ^.Tunnah, Wm. Roberts, George Heyward, C. W. Parsonage, Simon Jones, Edmund Mason, and W. E. Samuel. —The minutes having been read, Mr Simon Jones called attention to the duties of the chaplain in connection with the interment of paupers. From inquiries he had made, he found that the arrange- ments were not satisfactory, even to the clergy- men themselves.—The Chairman said Mr Jones bad better raise the point separately. After a short discussion, Mr Jones said he would give notice of hip motion, and later on he gave notice that at the next meeting of the Board he would call attention to the neces- sity of making definite arrangements for conducting the funeral services at the interments of paupers. —Mr Lester moved that the question of granting superannuation to Ellis Rogers be taken into con- sideration by the Guardians that day month. He said he felt, when the Guardians refused by a small majority to grant Ellis Rogers superannua- tion, that they had done the man an injustice. The man had served them well and faithfully, and honestly, and thers was not the slightest doubt in his mind that the man was now in a state of poverty that would compel him, unless his health improved, to become a pauper. The question before them was this, had the man so served them as to be entitled to superannuation ? The answer was emphatically, yes. Then, was he in such a state of poverty as to demand their sympathy in the matter of superannuation ? He (Mr Lester) maintained that to all intents and purposes he was, and he did not hesitate to tell them that unless they grauted him superannuation that they would have to keep him in the hcuse.—Mr A. Peel seconded.—The motion was supported by Sir R. E. Egerton and the Chairman, and Mr E. Roberts spoke agaiutt it.-On being put to the vote, 13 voted for it and 17 against it.—Mr Lester gave notice that that day month he would again bring the matter forward.—Miss Letitia Harper, of Liverpool, was appointed nurse, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Simon Jones.—The Master reported that he had received a basket of strawberries fr.tii Mr Simoa Yorke for the sick inmates. He also reported that Mr and Lady Georgiana Peel and Mr and Mrs Hogan had invited the children and old people to the Gerwyn and Gladwyn to tea.
