Festival. The Wheatsheaf Annual Festival waaheld on Monday last at tho house of Alts Jones, the Wheatsheaf Inn, but in consequence ot the unfavourable state of the weather the company was not so numerous as formerly, or as the excellent preparations of Mrs. Jones deserved A very excellent tea with the usual adjuncts was provided, and afterwards the company retired to the green, where despite the rain, dancing was keptun until nearly 10 o'clock. The arrangements gave general satisfaction, and we hope next year Mrs Jones wiU be favoured with a finer day and a lar-er company. Ruabon.

Experiment with Strvciinine. A professional gentleman in Ruabon was lately much annoyed by the nocturnal visits of a dog belonging to a neighbouring fanner to his garden. Finding remonstrance with the dog's owner of no avail he resolved upon more extreme measures. Procuring a particle of strychnine he concealed it in what he knew would he a mnat 4Tnamo Death of Captain W. W.

Eyton, R.N. Died, on Saturday the 6th instant, at Lecswood, the seat of his brother, J. Wynne Eyton, Captain AV. W. Eyton, R.N., who was one of the few sumvors among those who were engaged in the memorable battle of Trafalgar, October 21, 1805, on which occasion he served as midshipman in the Neptune, Captain Freemantle.

On the Neptune being paid off, he was recommended by Capt. Freemantle to the care of his friend, Captain J. Steward, of the Sea Horse, and was again engaged in a most spirited action, of which the following record appears in the Gentleman's Magazine of 181 1 Captain John Steward, of the Sea Horse frigate, acquired immortal honour by gaUantly defeating after a long and hardly contested action, a squadron of three Turkish frigates, one of which, the Bader Zaffcr, a much larger vessel than the Sea Horse, he took, another blew up during the fight, and the third got away much shattered, the Sea Horse being too much crippled to pursue her." In 1814, Capt. Eyton was made Lieutenant, and continued for several years in active service- In. course of time, he was appointed Flag Lieutenant in the Victory, guard-ship at Portsmouth, and in 1830 was deputed his nightly visitor.

Chaloner, vice-chairman Messrs. Joze, Edisbury, Brough, Morris, C. Wright, Burton, Jones, Roberts (Erbistock), A. W. Edwards, Rev.

Theophilus Puleston, Richards (Worthenbury), Poyser, ilanley, Birch, Hughes (Fennant), Roberts (Borras), W. Sisson, Dash wood Parry, aud Sanderson. The Clerk read an ordsr from the Poor Law Board relating to the appointment of medical officers for the several districts in the union. The order was to make certain alterations in the regulations agreed to iu February, 1855, and is to Come in operation after the 24th of June next. The Clerk, also, read a long letter explanatory of the above order, with suggestions and instructions to the Guardians.

Mit. Doyle's Report. The Clerk, also, read a letter from the Poorlaw Board, dated the 5th of June, stating the particulars of the report sent in to them by Mr. Doylo, who recently visited the workhouse. Mr.

Doyle slated that he saw a man in the workhouse of unsound mind, and whom the master affirmed was dangerous at times, and they wished to know what had been done in the matter. He also saw an idiotic child in the workhouse, who was blind and very dirty in his habits, who was a more proper subject for a lunatic asylum than for a workhouse. The girls' department was very much overcrowded, and the bedding in the old men's room and in the boys' was very old and dirty. He learned, too, with regret, that four boys had absconded from the house on the 22d of May, which, in his opinion, indicated defective discipline in the boys' school. The master, who was called in hear tho letter read, stated that the man said to be insane was at the time of Mr.

Doyle's visit merely suffering from disease, haying a fever, and he had called the attention of the medical officer to his case, who said that it might only be a temporary case. In fact, the man had recovered and left the house that day (Thursday). As to the child John Jones, it was as Mr. Doyle said, idiotic, blind and dirty in its habits but'he had mentioned the matter to the medical otheer, who gave him no instructions iu relation to him! It had been left at the house by its mother, who had procured an order from Mr. Roberts for herself and child, who, however, did not come in with it but had left the country, so that the police had not been enabled to discover her whereabouts.

a committee of guardians having just visited the bed rooms, they reported that the beds in the men's and boys' rooms were clean, but much worn, and they recommended a number of new beds (extra) and also a quantity of new bedding. Mr. Poyser aud Mr. D. Jones denied verbally that the beds were dirty, they only old and much worn They also recommended new beds for the girls, many of whom, being very small, were put three iu a bed Mr.

Brough recommended the master not to use sand in the cleauing of the floor, as, when it dried it causea dust to go on the bedding. It was then agreed that the attention of the medical officer be called to the idiotic child, with a view to its being removed to the lunatic asylum at Denbigh and minutes of the master's answers, with the report of the committee, be inserted in the books The Common Fund Charges. Mr. Chalone then rose and proposed that a list of the paupers chargeable to the Common Fund be printed for the use of the Guardians, as many of them were ignorant who were receiving-relief. This plan was adopted in many Unions, and he thought the effect would be very beneficial.

Mr. Brough seconded the motion, and particularised several reasons why he thought the motion ought to be adopted. Mr. Poyser rose to propose, as an amendment that the earnings of the different families, the a-mount received from the Union, and the number of members belonging to each family be also appended to the above. Tho present system of affording out-door relief was very irregular, and, therefore, unju3t to the paupers as well as to the Union, for one large family might only receive 2s.

6d. per week who earned nothing besides, whilst others might earn a good deal and yet receive a larger amount of relief. After a long conversation, Mr. Chaloner's motion was carried unanimously, he having consented to embody Mr. Poyser's amendment in it.

On the motion of Mr. Birch, Martha Thomas a pauper, being on the Regis but charged to March-wetl was voted to be charged to the Regis by a majority of 8 to 6. Mr. Chaloner moved that she be placed on the Common i und, but the motion was rejected Number in the House, 205 decrease of 3 on tho week. Wrexham Cricket Club.

The members of the committee of this club, tlesirous of making the members Of the Wrexham club proficient in this popular game, have, we are informed, engaged a professional" from Cambridge as a bowler. This is a step in the right direction, especially if the yonrig members are allowed to have their full share of the practice. As this step will entail considerable additional expense, we trust the patrons of cricket in this district will subscribe liberally to the fund. Several of the uewly entered members are likely to make first-class ct ieketers. and the attendance on practice nights has been laiger aud more regular than in many seasons past.

Wbbxham Infibmahy and Dispensary. The annual meeting of the subscribers to this excellent institution was held on Friday, June the 5th. The report and statement of accounts having been read, it was resolved to have them printed and circulated together with the resolutions of the meeting. A vote of thanks was then passed to the president, vice-president, and tieasurer fr their kind services and also to the medical officers and to the retiring committee. The following gentlemen were elected as members of the committee for the ensuing year: Archdeacon Wickham, C.

Bentham, Esq. J. F. Edgerley, T. Irven, Rev.

W. Davies, J. Lewis, Captain M'Coy, Messrs. T. Painter, E.

Rogers, Giller, A. W. Edwards, and W. Overton. T.

LI. Fitzb.igh, was unanimously elected a vice-president in the room of his lather, deceased. A vote of thanks having been given to the president of the day (f. Irven, the proceedings terminated. Wrexham Saving's Bank.

On Friday last a meeting of the directors and managers of the Wrexham Saving's Bank was held, to take into consideration the propriety of engrafting the Penny Saving's Bank upon the main branch of the Saving's Bank. The expenses connected with the Saving's Bank are paid out of a fund which is continually accruing, so that there is at present a sur-plus of 200 for this purpose. The Penny Saving's Hank expenses on the contrary, are liquidated by subscriptions from the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. It was, therefore, considered whether or not the expenses of the Penny Saving's Bank might not be paid out of this fund. After a long discussion, it was resolved that the motion stand over, in order to have the opinion of the Saving's Bank Commissioners as to the legality of the proposition.

Presentation to the Rev. R. Kendall. A very neat silver pocket Communion Service was presented, on Monday last, by the masters and pupils of the Collegiate School, Grove Park, Wrexham, to the Rev. Robert Kendall, second master, who has been appointed to the curacy of Newtown, Montgomeryshire.

The Rev. J. Hunt, head master, delivered a very complimentary address and congratulated Mr. Kendall upon hia admission into holy orders, and bore testimony to his valuable and efficient assistance in the affairs of the school. Mr.

Kendall returned thanks in a very feeling manner, and expressed his deep regret at parting from those with whom he had spent some of the happiest years of his life, and observed that he should always watch with deep interest the progress and welfare of the Grove Park Collegiate School. Bell-ringing. On Friday last, the bell-ringers of Ashton-under-Lyne, Staffordshire, visited Wrexham iu order to try their hands at a change ou the Wrexham bells. On Saturday, they ascended the tower, and a little after eight o'clock commenced what is termed a peal of grandsire caters, consisting of 5,291 changes, which they accomplished in fiDe style in three hours and five minutes. They are iu the habit, we understand, during Wuitsuu weak i i each year, to pay a visit to some town where a peal of bells is hung, to practice their art, and, to the majority of people, their mystery.

The following notic: was dnly recorded in their book of events: We, the Ashton-under-Lyne chauge lingers, visited Wrexham, on Friday, the 5th of June, 1857; and, on the following morniiisi, ascended the nuble tower of St. Giles, and rung on those beautiful bells a true and complete peal of grandsire caters iu three hours and five minu'es. Upon examining the roping, swivels and sockets, we found them in first-rate order and couditioo, for which we are uuder great obligation to Mr. Bailey, sexton."

UnUl of great in on of a in 4, at To the the fact in of his of an I LOCA.Ii NEWS. THE NATIONAL NEWSPAPER LEAGUE COMPANY. On Tuesday night ist, it 8 a meeting was held in the Music Jl.ill, Wrexham, when Mr Thomas attended to explain the principles and objects upon which the Newspaper National League Company was intended to be based.

It was moveu by Mr. Morgan, of the Priorv, and seconded by the Rev. E. Griffiths, that Mr. Charles Hughes take the Chair.

Mr. Hughes said, he was not much accustomed to speak at such meetings as the one then assembled in the Music Hall, and in introducing the subject of the evening befoiethe audience said, that, tho new paper which was intended to be established was to be a daily one, as a newspaper, in order to have a voice and exercise influence in the country now-a-days must be a daily one, because men like to see the news as it occurred. As there were many of the papers already in circulation, established upon principles which could not be relied on, tho one tbey had met to promote was to be quite of a different character based upon righteous principle and would therefore be of treat importance to the country. aft. Griffiths then addressed the meeting at some length upon the influence and policy of our newspaper press at the present time.

As Mr. Thomas was there to explain to the meeting the principles which the National Newspaper League Company advocated, ho need not say anything on that head, but may state "that what was morally wrong could never be politically right." If newspapers would merely give them 'facts nfld let them think for themselves it would not be of such importance, but such was not the case: men's opinions, on certain questions, were generally formed by newspapers. The editor takes the question under discussion, and if he be a man of mind, he carries us further than what wo expected when we first took the paper in hand to read. He looked and agreed with the object in a religious sense, Hid concluded an able address by stating that what they wanted was a paper which would give glory to God and add to the comfort and happiness of man. Mr.

Tnomas in rising said he had come into the neighbourhood almost accidentally. Through the invitation of a neighbour and friend, ho had promised him a few nights to bring under notice the great enterprise with which lie was so closely allied. He recommended the undertaking to them first, on the ground that it was commenced upon the joint stock principle, and it would, therefore be easily appreciated by commercial men and received as a good commercial scheme. It was not got up by Some few men, merely to make money by it, and who would meet and A move that be paid 500 per annum, and another move that Mr. A.

be manager, and the mover of the first proposition voting some large some of money after the capital was got up from the shareholders, they had their reward, and a very large reward it was. There was no manager, secretary, or any other office, but the whole thing lay entirely open to the shareholders, and no person was allowed to take more than twenty shares. He alluded to the prejudices which existed against joint stock companies, and clearly showed that there was not sufficient cause to give rise to such groundless fears as was sometimes expressed in reference to joint stock undertakings, stating that according to the opinions of of lawyers themselves, the present act on limited liability companies was one of the most complete that hid been passed, and that any one taking shares in it were thoroughly protected, 10 bein-the sum that each shareholder was liable to, but that it was only intended to make one call of i. It had been alleged that they were coining out against the Times to put the" thunder-bolt upon Jupiter. If the Times was as true, honest, and christian as he believed it was often the reverse, he should not see the necessity of another great paper.

But such was not the case. He did think the time had arrived when they should have a cor rective against that mighty organ, and to establish paper on christian ethics, from whien we sholl all he judged. They were not to suppose that it was onesided affair church or dissent. If it was he would have nothing to do with it. It may be asked why he troubled himself about such a o'ues- tion Ho would reply, because he was a minister of the gospel, and knew the mighty influence the press exerted in reference to Christianity and the formation of the moral character.

They were met that evening to deliberate on a solemn and important movement, and he hoped they would be able at once to make up their miods to assist it. The gentlemen who had banded together, feel that the newspaper press of this country does require a thorouzh reformation. He said that first, because they felt that a healthy, moral sentiment is the foundation of national as well as individual greatness. Tbey felt that governments, markets, estates. wealth, and tame, were but as nothing when com- pared with the moral principles that animated the man.

1 hey believe with Panl that the moral cha-I racier is man the corrupt character is the old man, and the holy aud moral character is the new man. A nation might be as prosperous as Tyre, as culti- vated as the people of Athens, and yet so debased as to incur the displeasure of Almighty God; and they lelt that amongst a people that is corrupt there can be no real progress. The secoud thing is this that of the agents at work in modern society there is no ageucy exercising greater amount of influence than the newspaper press. It was not more than two hundred and twenty years ago siuce the first newspaper was started, and now no le3S than six hundred news- papers are issued, some daily aud some weekly, from the English press; sometimes sparkling with truth but more frequently dark aud pestiferous With error Another thing, he remarked, that this agent was not of the character Christian meu desired it to be He found no fault with the mechanical or intelleatoal arrangements of the newspaper press of the dav, but he cotnplaiued lather of its moral delinquencies, and referred to the great number of irreligious and licentious publications that are issued, and asked what is the character of a very large proportion of the others that are not positively irreligious. He pointed to The Times as an illustration uot because it was worse than auy others of its class, but because it had three times the circulation, aud a hundred times the power.

What was its character? If, he said they were Churchmen, let them ask their orgnn, The Jieeord, and they would find that it never appeared for a month together without a denunciation of The Times, on account ot its want of honesty. If they were Wesleyans, let them consult their organ, The Watchman. If they were Baptists, let them consult The Freeman Or, if they belonged to any other denomination of Nonconformists, they would find the same result. There was not a paper, making any pretext to the advocacy of religious truth thai did not feel bound to denounce tbe leading journal. Yet the conduct of the Editors ot these journals is exceedingly ungrateful sitting down to write articles against The Times, when they know that they could not live for six months without it.

All their foreign information, and a great deal of their home news, is derived from that paper, which they so denounce. What is the reason of that It is because there is only one wholesale house for news in the kingdom, and until you open another, every paper must go to that for news. Putting these facts together all must come to the conclusion that a reformation' is needed. But you ask, what can you do to reform journalism It was impossible now to establish a censorship over the British press. The day for that has passed, and it would be as well to try and bind the four winds of heaven.

And if it was not impossible, he (the speaker) would not lift his hand to aid in binding the most licentious press in Europe. It was impossible, he continued, to effect the reform by means of privatee enterprise, however large the capital embarked, or the great skill engaged in the undertaking. He believed that no sectarian combination could effect it. There were already enough of sectarian papers. 1'hey wanted twenty thouand men from all Churches, and from no Churches, to be banded together by two powerful elements the element of mutual sympathy in certain great truths, and mutual financial interest.

Out of that company of twenty thousand men, would arise that which would render failure impossible. First, a sufficient amount of capital. Referring to the list of shareholders, he said there were amongst them some of the wealthiest men in the kingdom. The average number of shares taken by each shareholder was five the deposite capital is to be 200,000. They considered that amount sufficient to employ correspondents in every quarter of the globe, and to engage talent, equal, if not superior, to any employed on The Times Again, they would have twenty thousand people interested in the success of the paper, who would naturally prefer seeing it lo any other published.

Alluding to the progress already made by the League, he said some people thought it was impossible to get the 20,000 shareholders. About thirty-four towns had been visited, and instead of failing in a single town they had obtained about four times tbe number required He thought from that fact, that if there was any truth in inductive reasoning, they might get fifty thousand men, instead of twenty thousand. Indeed he believed if he was three years in Wales he couldgetthat number there alone, and he hoped that as he was a Welshman, his countrymen would have a goodly share in such a noble undertaking.

He had not proceeded more than a few paces, when he heard the report of a pistol, and turning round he perceived the prisoner struggling with Mrrotigh, whose face was covered with blood. As Crauford approaohed, Russell discharged a pistol at him, but without erfec', and after a desperate resistance, he was overp iwered and conveyed to the station-house, ft was then ascertained that Murrough was severely wounded, the atone with which the pistol was loaded having been discharged right into his face. He was convoyed to Charing Cross hospital, and is at present in no imminent danger, but being an old man it is expected that he will never recover the -shock.

Mr. Christie, notwithstanding his eloquent descant reviving Conservatism, was fated, as he had doubtless often been aforetime, to read in the faces his listening assemblage their adoption of the French proverb, Le cnutv en ote le gout."

SuhDu.v Death of a Strange Femaee, On Saturday evening, about twenty minutes past 10, a female, respectably attired, dropped down dead at Greenwood's coach-ollice, Pendleton.

James's Palace, was, as might naturally be expected, most numerously and brilliantly attended. say it was the most numerous reception the Queen has held, would be saying too much, but in numbers and splendour it has been exceeded by few. The limited opportunity fir presentation, advent of a state ball at the palace, and the advanced period of the season, all contributed to throng the salons of the palace on this occasion. Tijk Father op the Locomotive Race. The Stockton and Darlington Railway, the earliest in kingdom, having been opened in September, 1S2-3, still possesses its first engine, now a rather antiquated looking piece of woikmanship.

The Parochial View of Exeter Hall Services.

The Crumlin Viaduct. This wonderful structure was opened on Monday, the 1st iust in the presence of many eminent engineers in the country, and a vast number of spectators. Special trains ran from Heieford, Bristol, Newport, and other places, aud a considerable number of visitors attended from London. The viaduct has been raised for the purpose of extending the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford line to the Taff Vale Railway, thus opening up the means of direct communication between the rich mineral districts of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire. Its height is 200 feet, aud its total length one-third of a mile.

Beneath it runs the Western Valleys line of the Monmouthshire Railway. It has been planned and carried out to the satisfaction of every one concerned, by T. W. Kennard, of London. The engineers have been Mr.

Liddell and Professor Gordon. The quantities of materials used have been the following Wrought iron, 1,300 tons; cast iron, 1,250 tons masonry in foundation and abutments, 8 00 cube yards timber, 25,000 cube feet. When the first train passed over, a shout from thousands rent the air, and the sight was a most spirit-stirring one. CORRESPOJNDENCE.

To the Editor of the Advertiser. Sir, Some time ago we read a pamphlet called "Journalism and the Pulpit," by the Rev. David Thomas, of Stoekwell, which was a reprint of an article in the Homilist," of which that gentleman is the editor, and finding a little while after that he was coming to hold meetings in this district, to lay before us the subject of that pamphlet, I thought I would wait till I had heard him before I troubled you with any remarks on the subject, and Laving had that pleasure this week, I shall feel obliged by tbe insertion of the following, which may contain something new to some of your readers, and may cause the Rev.

gentleman in his future expositions of the Dial" scheme to be a little more explicit on some points. Mr. Thomas in his preamble sets forth the vast influence exerted by the modern daily press, assert that it greatly exceeds that of the pulpit, and at the same time he estimates that that influence is far from being uniformly good in fact that it is mostly evil These are facts of which the truth may be ascertained within the experience of every individual, and on these grounds we think that a prima facie ease is made out for the necessity of the establishment of a moral and christian daily paper. Thus far I agree with the promoters of the Dial" newspaper but at this point we must part company till they tell me in detail (not in general terms, however high souuding) on what principles the paper must be conducted. It is to be christian it is also to be unsectarian.

Now this language if not tautology indicates that those who use it Lave no definite idea of what Christianity is for there is nothing more clearly stated in the New Testament than that the genius of Christianity abhors all sects, but from the manner in which sectarianism is spoken of, we should infer that it was quite compatible with Christianity, which I deny altogether. That true Christians compose a very small section, or sect, of even Protestant Christendom, I believe, and it is as true now as in the days of Luke, that they are a "sectevery-wheie spoken against," and hence we say that a paper that would advocate Christianity in its entirety would not at present find 20,000 shareholders. But, perhaps, the Dial is to be christian just so far as to secure the co-operation of all sects, which may be done at the sacrifice of about half of the precepts of the New Testament, but which instead of being unsectarian, it is the very opposite it is making sectarianism an idol, and bowing down to this many headed innge that men have set up. But a paper that does this will pay, it will pay the editor wcu, anu it win pay me snarenoiuers but instead of elevating the moral tone of the community, it will debase it instead of inducing reverence for God's Book, it will spread scepticism and lead many to choose the downward road. A paper that must do real service to the cause of Christianity must not be content with propounding tbe code of christian morality, but must advocate the claims of the entire religion of Jesus.

The former may be done without coming in contact with the prejudices of any sectarian, and would even obtain the support of worldings who practice morality from motives of policy. But to promulgate Christianity as Paul preached it is another thing altogether. He emphatically condemns both sect and sect maker. He contends for the Unity of tne eaun wnicn in tne same chapter, (ISph. iv.) he also calls Unity (oneness) of the Spirit which consists of the union of seven items.

Thus, there is One Lord," into whom we are to be baptised by one baptism." One body" being members of which we are quickened by the "one Spirit." One faith" which is that Jesus, the Nazarene, is the Son of the living God, and which is the foundation of the one hope" of dwelling in the eternal mansions prepared by the one God and Father of us all." Will the Dial set forth all these If not, it will be no more a christian paper than Chamber's Journal is. Then how is the sabbath question to be handleu Is it to be called the sabbath or the Lord's day for we opine much of the gist of the subject lies in the nomenclature we use. If it is to be called sabbath, we shall not quarrel with those who surround the question with all the thunders of Sinai, provided ttiey will keep the sabbath on the day and in the manner enjoined by the Sinaitic law. But if it is the Lord's day we are to have, we shall repudiate all attempts to have its sanctity sustained by the civil power, for the keeping of that day is a high privilege for christians only to enjoy. It is a day set apart by apostolic precept anil example for attending to social worship, for the teaching of the apostles' doctrine (not preaching), for united prayer and praise, for attending to the fellowship for the poor, and breaking the symbolic loaf.

Such are the duties and privileges of christians on the first day of the week, but with these things the world has nought to do. Let its votaries frequent as they please their museums and bazaars, their crystal palaces and markets, and let zealous christians follow them thither, proclaiming even at the corners of streets the unsearchable riches of Christ. And let the Dial, true to its professed nonconformity, deprecate all attempts at enforcing an external reverence for things christian on the part of the civil power, and we shall soon see who were the real christians and were the enemies against whom we must fight. If the Rev. David Thomas and his compeers cculd get twenty thousand men to start a paper on these principles, we should say there are more christians than we thought there were; but if anything short of this is contemplated, we can only say that neither with twenty thousand men as the moving power, nor the Rev.

A curious trick has just been played off at Berlin, in order to bring into disrepute a new enormous slouching riding hat, which is now in vogue among the fair fashionables of the Prussian capital. A few days since, at the usual hour for walking on the frequented promenade of the Tileuis, a rag gatherer, with her basket at her back, was observed walking up and down with neaa covered with one of these appendages.

An inquiry was entered into by the police, when it was ascertained that two gentlemen, meeting the woman, had taken her into a shop, and furnished her with the hat, at the expense of and given her a crown piece to go and walk with it amongst the fashionables, which the woman willingly consented to do. This same trick was tried at Southport last summer, but it failed to effect the reform intended the abolition of ladies hats. A Fkench Interior."
