days of December next at the hour of 10 iu the forenoon of each day Respectively in all WEIGHTS and MEA- to compare and stamp al that brought to him for purpose Dated this 20th SURES day of November 1845 OWEN Clerk of the Peace prevailed on hem to ascertain the engineer Mr Williams had did so and in reply -recei ved a letter stating that no contract had up to that period hem entered into with them by Mews WUIem company This letter was received the day after the London and Dublin Company had rejected the proposal of Messrs Williams and company and as might be expected contributed not a little to satisfy the former that tbedecision they had arrived at tlie previous day was a fonunate one for them Indeed judging from what they expressed when the letter in question was read to tliem one would have supposed that they would not have condescended again to entertain terms of amalgamation from Messrs Williams and company but to return Immediately after the London and Dublin Company refected the torms proposed by the other company they waited on me to inform me of the result of the meeting and that in consequence thereof they the managing committee of the London and Dublin Company had come to the determination to throw themselves upon my exertions to carry them through and that if I would consent to do so they would undertake to supply me with a sufficient staff of surveyors without further delay Under these circumstances I did not hesitate to promote the measure by every means in my power It was then settled that I should attend the committee the following day to have matters finally arranged Accordingly I attended at the appointed hour whi I was informed that the parties who had promised an advance of 10001 had that morning declined to accommodate them Finding moreover that the committee were not disposed to contribute a single farthing towards tlie I (rather than lose the opportunity ot securing the of engineers they had given to understand were ready undertake the survey on payment in the first instance 1100) arranged with parties to advance for the company tlie required sum Under these circumstances it was deemed advisable to dispatch their engineer Mr Braith-waite to Chester for the purpose of entering into a contract with the engineers referred to Mr Braithwaite however requiring 50 to defray his expenses and the committee declining even to advance this sum I bad to arrange with my friend to give him a cheque for the amount Mr Braithwaite therefore left town that evening for Chester bat the result of his mission proved that the committee had been misinformed in regard to the probable expense of the survey it appearing from Mr report that the engineers he applied to gave him to understand that at that late period they could not undertake the survey for anything like 1000 Under these circumstances the committee thought proper to relinquish all intention of proceeding with the survey and consequently of preparing plans for Parliament Thus after being paltered with for weeks in a double sense und the word of promise kept to my ear to be broken to my hope I when it was too late to recover my position unless at an enormous additional expense was obliged to fall buck again upon my original project Wishing however to act fairly towards the London and Dublin Company as a company I notwithstanding the strange conduct ot their managing committee made the following proposal in writing before I took my leave of them Mr Archer to proceed with his railway project ns originally intended by him and when his prospectuses are published and his shares taken or at any other time which may be deemed advisable lie will amalgamate with the direct London and Dublin and the direct London and Dublin will amalgamate with him upon such terms as may be agreed upon by Mr Wiluiot and Mr Sliaw or in the event of those gentlemen not agreeing thereupon such terms as may be agreed upon by an umpire to be appointed by To those disposed to act equitably and that had no other object in view than the public good the proposition thus voluntarily made by me would doubtless have been considered perfectly satisfactory but for reasons best known to the managing committee of the London and Dublin Company they affected to consider it in a different light and to rttach no importance to it unleu I consented to tlie introduction of a clause which if I acceded to would give them the entire control over my project my services and surveys as well as a right to approach the harbour without my consent It appeared therefore quite obvious to me that their real object was to keep me from tlie Great Western Company and if possible to prevent either a short line or a thorough line being made by any party from Porthdynllaen: Besides I did not choose to tie either myself or my project to the tail of a dying horse or one at least that could not or would not move in an onward direction I therefore declined to entertain their proposition Notwithstanding however did so the committee assured me tliutal-though they had tailed to induce me to agree to their proposal they had no reason to complain of me for doing so and that they hoped I would part as friend and not as an opponent Before however I took my leave I reminded the committee of the fact bf my having confidentially communicated to them my views in regard to the iuiiiovtunce of securing the line from Portlidynllnen to Pott Madoc and that I expected they would not disclose them to others or think of adopting the project themselves and I also hoped that Mr Braithwaite would return to me my section of the line which intrusted him with The meniliers of the committee and Mr Braithwaite assured me in reply that no advantage whatever would be taken of the confidence I had reposed in them and that my section would be returned without delay The subsequent conduct however of those gentlemen lias hut ill accorded with their professions for in point of fact they not only have had the meanness to take every possible advantage of the confidence I had placed in them but to attempt by the most discreditable means not ouiy to frustrate my exertions but to forestall me in tlie Porthdynllam und Port Madoc project in the vain hope of compelling me to unite with tliem while their engineer for Meeting to be holden in the Board Room at the hour of Ten of the clock in the

Directors held at the office of the Company No 2 Norfolk-8 tree Manchester on the 18th instant tlie APPLICANTS FOR SHARES are informed that the extraordinary difficulty of procuring the services of a sufficient number of competent assistants has rendered it impossible to complete the Plans and Sections before the 3t)th inst in a manner sufficiently accurate to be respectful to Parliament aud creditable to the Company Under these circumstances the Directors consider that it would be most hijudteious and inconsistent with a proper sense of public duty to press forward operations with a view of applying to the Legislature in the approaching Session aim they have decided that the intended application to Parliament shall not be made in tlie coming but iu tlie next subsequent Session The Directors have been gratified to find tliut the undertaking receives the warm support of the landowners on tlie Line and of all others locally interested The Directors are actively engaged in negoelations with nil the Railway Companies in any way connected with the line of country between Manchester and Milford Haven and they have every assurance of tle ultimate support and co-operation of some of the most powerful existing Railway Companies in carrying out the measure in a manner worthy of so great a national undertaking The great encouragement derived from these circumstances and tlie conviction of the growing strength of the project in the public estimation has determined the Directors to pursue with steadiness their original object of completing a line of Railway upon which the working and cost of transit between Manchester and Milford Haven shall lie so regulated as to identify the interests of the Company with the interests of the Merchants Manufacturers and Shipowners from whom the principal traffic will be derived The Shares of this Company will therefore be allotted Immediately and a call of two shillings and sixpence made in the first instance and the remainder of the deposit will not be called for until such time as tlie Managing Committee may deem necessary to prepare for the application to Parliament in the Session after next By order KELLEY Secretary 2

preeantion may avert any iskm and procraitination may produces statu of suffering which it is fright In! to contemplate Three weeks ago it was generally expected that Parliament would be immediately called together- The announcement that Ministers wore prepared at that time to advise the Crown to summon Parliament and to propose on their iirst meeting a suspension ot the import duties on corn would have caused orders at once to be sent to various ports of Europe and America for the purchase and transmission of grain for the consumption of the United Kingdom An order in council dispensing with the law was neither necessary nor desirable No party in Parliament would have made itself responsible for the obstruction of a measure so urgent and so beneficial The Queen's Ministers have met and separated without affording us any promise of such seasonable relief 1 1 becomes us therefore the subjects to consider how we can best avert or at all events mitigate calamities of no ordinary magnitude Two evils require your consideration One of these is the disease in the potatoes affecting very seriously parts of England and Scotland and committing fearful ravages in Ireland A The extent of this evil has not yet beenascertainedaiid every week indeed tends either to reveal unexpected disease or to abate in some districts the alarm previously entertained But there is one misfortune peculiar to the failure in this particular crop The effect of a bad corn harvest is in the first place to diminish the supply the market and to raise the price Hence diminished consumption and the privation of incipient scarcity by which the whole stock is more equally distributed over the year nud the ultimate pressure is greatly mitigated But the fear of the breaking out of this unknown disease in the potatoes induces the holders to hurry into the market and thus we have at one and the same time rapid consumption and impending scarcity of the article and cheapness of price The ultimate suffering must thereby he rendered far more severe than it otherwise would be The evil to which I have adverted may be owing to an adverse season to a mysterious disease in the to want of science or of care in propagating the plant In any of these cases Government is no more subject to blame for the failure of the potatoe crop than it was entitled to credit for the plentiful com liarvests which we have lately enjoyed Another evil however under which we are suffering is the fruit of Ministerial counsel and Parliamentary law It is the direct consequence of an Act of Parliament passed three years ago on the recommendation of the present advisers of the Crown By this law grain of all kinds has made subject to very high duties on importation These duties are so contrived that the worse the quality of the com the higher is the duty so that when good wheat rises to 70 a quarter the average price of all wheat is 57 or 58 and the duty 15 or 14 a quarter Thus the corn barometer points to fair while the ship is bending uuder a storm This defect was pointed out many years ago by writers on tlie corn-laws and was urged upon the attention of the House of Commons when the present act was under consideration But I confess that on the general subject my views have in the course of twenty years undergone a great alteration I used to be of opiuion that corn was an exception to the general rules of political economy but observation and experience have convinced ine that we ought to abstain from ull interference with the supply of food Neither a government nor a legislature can ever regulate the com market with tiie beneficial' effects which the entire freedom of sale and purchase are sure of themselves to produce 1 have for several years endeavoured to obtain a compromise on this subject In 1839 I voted for a committee of the whole House with a view of supporting the substitution a moderate fixed duty for the sliding-scale In 1841 I announced the intention of the thenGoveramentof proposing a fixed duty of a quarter Iu the past session I proposed the imposition of some lower duty These propositions were successively rejected The present First Lord of the Treasury met them in 1839 1840 and 1841 by eloquent panegyrics of the existing system the plenty it had caused the rural happiness it had diffused- He met the propositions for diminished protection in tlie same way in which he had met tlie offer of securities for Protestant interests in 1817 and in the same way in which he met the proposal to allow Manchester Leeds and Birmingham to send members to parliament in 1830 The result of resistance to qualified concessions must be the same in the present iustance as in those I have mentioned- It is no longer worth while to contend for a fixed duty In 1841 the free-trade party would have agreed to a duty of 8 a quarter on wheat and after a lapse of years this duty might have been further reduced and ultimately ubolislied But the imposition of any duty at present without a provision for its extinction within nsliort period would hut prolong a contest already sufficiently fruitful of animosity and discontent The struggle to make bread scarce and dear when it is clear that part at least of the additional price goes to iucrense rent is a struggle deeply injurious to an aristocracy which (this quarrel once removed) is strong in property strong in the construction of our legislature strong in opinion strong in ancient associations aud the memory ot immortal services Let us then unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce the bane of agriculture the source of bitter divisions among classes tlio cause of penury fever mortality und crime among the people But if this end is to be achieved it must be gained by the unequivocal expression of the public voice It ia not to be denied that many elections for cities and towns iu 1841 and home in 1845 appear to favour tlie assertion that free trade is not popular with the great moss of the community The Government appear to be waiting for some excuse to give up the present corn-law Let the people by petition by address by remoustrance afford them the excuse they seek Let the Ministry propose such a revision of the taxes as in their opinion may render the public burdens more just and more equal let them add any other provisions which caution and even scrupulous forbearance may suggest but let the removal of restrictions on the admission of the main articles of food and clothing used by the mass of the people be required In plain terns as

end of last September by two influential gentlemen con-th tne county cf Carnarvon to join and co-operate with the then proposed London and Dublin Atmospheric Railway Company In reply to this request I stated that I had already intimated tlie week before to the engineer of the proposed company that I would not object to act with them if I were assured that they were in no way connected with Messrs- Williams and company or the atmospheric invention ot' which Mr brother claims to In the purchaser as well as satisfied that the promoters were sincere in their intentions To make a railway to Porthdynlhicn and would without delay send down a sufficient staff of engineers and surveyors to survey the line Having received an assurance that the parties referred to were in uo wuy connected with the proposed company and a pledge that the necessary force of engineers would be on the line the follow ing- Monday I at once said that I would co-operate with the proposed company to promote the measure by every means in my power I was then asked what appointment or conqieusutiou I required for myself when 1 stated that as my sole object wus to liuve the line carried out I neither looked for place or pecuniary compensation but as I had already made considerable progress in the survey upon the line of railway from Porthdynllaen to Port Madoc and also iu the formation of a company to construct it I would expect that Mr Shaw and Messrs Poole and Powell the joint solicitors of the project should also lie appointed as joint solicitors to the Direct London and Dublin Company This proposal having been acceded to those gentlemen were ultimately appointed the solicitors to the London and Dublin Company but though strict faith was kept with me in reference to a manifest object

therefore lost no time in communicating with engineers to undertake for me the survey of the line from Porthdynllaen to Port Madoc Before however I lmd finally arranged with them Mr Jevcs one of tlie solicitors of tlie London and Holy-head line waited on me to know if I would amalgamate with his company on the condition of their diverting their line at Balu to Porthdynllaen instead of proceeding to Holyhead I stated in reply that if I were satisfied that they would do so 1 would make an exertion to extend my line to Bala but from the experience I had of a rival company that for a while I was unfortunately associated with I would not again run the risk of amalgamating with any other before the 30th of November The next day I called at Mr office and made the following proposition Mr Archer will undertake to double the staff of engineers and surveyors contracted for by him for completing tlie Parliamentary plans of the proposed line from Porthdynllaen to Port Madoc with a view of completing if possible tlie survey of the line from Port Madoc to Bala in time to lodge the plans on the 30th of November 500 to be lodged with the solicitor of the Porthdynllaen and Port Madoc Railway on the condition that he will return tlie same on the 1st December in case the engineers shall not have completed the plans in time Messrs Craggaud Company aud the promoters of the Porthdynllaen and Port Madoc project it is understood remain separate and independent Mr Archer wislung to secure to the country that one portion at least of the inland line shall be made as well as to lie in a position to unite with whatever company he may consider most likely to continue or carry out an inland line from Porthdynllaen after the Mr Jeyes however declined to accede to this proposal unless upon the terms of amalgamation which of course I would not agree to Two days afterwards Mr Braithwaite at the instance of the committee called on me and also on my solicitor to state that they were about to amalgamate with the London aud Holyhead Company and to know if I would join them For the reasons assigned in the foregoing proposal I declined to do so The following day Mr Braithwaite again called on me and bv way of inducing me to alter my determination he stated that he was authorized to propose that if I would again join the London and Dublin Company that I would be guaranteed nil my past expenses and be paid moreover a handsome bonus into the bargain But for obvious reasons the more was tempted and urged tlie less disposed was I to confide in them and particularly as I latterly ascertained that the majority of their managing committee were to be found on the managing committee of tlie four or five other railway companies that had been formed to promote atmospheric invention which find been purchased by them and that the board room of bli the London and Dublin Company was common to all The We have authority for stating that her government

should retain the power of appointing the officers and that all opposition to my claim to the Harbour of Porthdynllaen should be abandoned After the stipulations that I had made in the first instance I confess I wus at a loss to account for the mutual desire of the two Companies to amalgamate unless upon tlie principle that the poverty of companies like the poverty of individuals compels them at times to take up witli strange bed-fellows Be that however as it may I wrote in reply to the proposition that nothing would induce me to be connected with any eonqiany that Mr had to say to and that

friendly to the continuation of the Denbighshire Police Force and he frankly told the rate-payers that the reason why the Magistrates deemed the force to be popular and in good odour with the ratepayers generally was tbe fact that the number of rate-payers who had not signed any memorial or petition praying for its disconlinuanrs was very great compared with the number of ratepayers who had signed such uAmorials or pet -tions This frank admission deserves to be gratefully remembered It was in reality as fine and demonstrative a lecture in exposition of the duties of citizenship as could be uttered by any man lay or clerical It was in eflect saying to the rate-payers you are really hostile to the continuance of the force why do you not evince your hostility by your public acts Why con tent yourselves with denouncing it in private It is your duty to make your sentiments gene rally known in order that they may not be mistaken and to do this you must pvt them on record You must petition memorialize and agitate the question giving no rest 4o your rulers until they accede to your wish: otherwise that wish will be misconstrued and you will be regarded as being friendly because you do not oppose Silence will imply consent and satisfaction with things as they are The magistrates will count the names of those who sign nnd of those who do not sign and they ill go by the majority You thus injure by your quietude the very cause you would mislead your rulers as to your deepest deprive the community of the moral influence ot your opinion and impress it with an influence in the very opposite Not only the rate-payers of the county Denbigh ought to attend to this excellent and judicious exposition of the duties which man owes to the community but rate-payers and taxpayers and homage payers in all quarters and all directions for in every nook and corner from Downing-street to a parish Vestry the silence of those who do not agitate is taken set off against the remonstrances of those do: and every good and valuable cause that might bv concert be obtained in a ngle day is staved off for years because the agitation put forth in its favour was partial rather than general and resembled a few random strokes of the oar when there should have been a long pull strong pull and a pull altogether No proposition can be more clear than tna on momentous questions affecting the well being of the community or of Urgo masses of our fellow-men we ought not to allow our opinions to be misunderstood and misstated so as to impede that reform whirfi we would promote or perpetuate an abuse which we would extinguish So long then as magistrates and rulers the powers that regard silence as con sent it becomes the duty of the subject to speak out in all cases where be

Economy that if the Farmer knows wliat it is that gives the fertilizing powers to Manure and is aware of tlie nature of those substances he will soon learn tlie best method of preserving and using them he will then understand how to make tlie most of the various sources of Manure at his disposal and he will be enabled readily to save much that for the want of such knowledge would otherwise be

for me a to carry out my original project and I also Mr- Morgan Lloyd to Town to communicate the Board of the Loiulou and Dublin Company confer with my solicitor on the subject Iu of this move on my part the committee of the in aliout three days after Mr arrival sept deputation to Wales for the purpose of upon me to accede to a proposition that hud been entered into between them and the company of which Messrs Williams 'and Breese are the solicitors The proposition was to the effect That the two Companies should unite That an equal number front each sub-committee should be the managing committee of the amalgamated company That Mr Jolm Williams be appointed secretary That Messrs Williams and Breese Messrs Pinniger and Westniaeott (tlie town agents of Mr John Williams) and Messrs Poole and Powell be appointed joint solicitors and that the company undertake to form a railway terminus at Porthdynllaen within one year after they obtain an Act of Parliament The reply I gave to this was that I would not upon pub-grounds as well as for private reasons be a party to the proposed amalgamation and with respect to that part of the proposition which had reference to the harbour I observed that even supposing I had no grounds for distrustingany of the amalgamating parties I was too old a bird to be caught in a pit full like young ones by Several modifications of this proposal were then proposed by the deputation but all to no purpose and ultimately they urged me to return with them to town in the hope tnat their committee by a personal interview would be able to satisfy me I declined to accede to their'request because as I stated I was quite sure my visit there would not be attended witli anv satisfactory result However on being pressed by Mr Powell who attended the meeting 1 reluctantly consented to return with the deputation As soon as I arrived in Town tlie principal members of tlie committee waited upon me to in- SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20th S45 We have just read with feelings of approbation and respect the address of Lord John Russell to the Electors of the City of London and that our readers may have the same pleasure we have published the document verbatim It is a masterly production throughout nnd as well-timed as it is well intended: but perhaps no part of it is more honourable to the sagacity ore indicative of good senso and keen discrimination in the urriter than the passage in which ho contrasts the potatoe disease with a failure in the corn crops It is indeed as he says fearfully true that the potatoe blight or murrain is pregnant with an amount of evil far greater than would result from a deficiency in tho dry crops inasmuch as in the latter case the grain would be husbanded carefully and carefully doled out whereas in the existing case the potatoes are being thrown into the market at whatever they can fetch given to pigs left to rot unheeded as unworthy of notice ground down into starch peeled scraped wasted and consumed in every possible way---(according to the circumstances of the holder and tlie state of the crop) with an avidity which naturally arises from uncertainty that the article will keep and ignorance of the nature of the malady rather than from want of forethought or economy Many of our readers will have full evidence of this in the fact that they have not yet made their purchases for winter stock and that they dread to do so lest they should buy an unclean They wish to obtain and hold fast that which is but they know not where it is to be had In matter of feet the potatoe market is a mere There is no certainty either in price or quality Supply and demand have ceased to have any relevancy to each other whilst delay and desperation are every where By turn triumphant To-day a man buys at a high price because he fears that else he shall get no winter stock To-morrow he sells at a low price because he dreads tho advent or progress of the blight in those that he possesses When however we referred to the remarks made by Lord John Russell on the potatoe disease as striking from their shrewdness we by no means regarded them as the most interesting and important portion of address The ad- i(2) therefore told Mr Braithwaite to inform iiis committee no consideration however tempting would induce mo to rely- upon tlie exertions of managers that I considered had neither the judgment nor the energy the firmness of purpose nor the sinews of war to conduct or prosecute with success any measure of the kind Though women made very good cooks women and cooks made very bad coachmen I moreover unfortunately told him that I had already dispatched Mr Moregain Lloyd to Wales to secure for me the local surveyors and tliat another staff of 20 engineers and surveyors I had engaged to join tliem in a few days On tlie following day I received an invitation from Mr an active promoter of the London and Dublin Railvyay to meet him the next morning at Mr Ormsby to talk over the matter At this meeting Mr again urged me to join tlie two companies and I again declined I then submitted for Mr consideration my reasons for remaining independent until after the 30th and so far did they prove satisfactory to him that he gave it as his opinion that the course I had proposed was under all the circumstances and uncertainties with which tlie ease was surrounded the only safe and proper one for me to take therefore did not press me any further on the matter so I naturally concluded that I should not have agam been applied to by the London aud Dublin Company but in this it appears I was mistaken for in two days after Mr- Powell waited upon me at my solicitors' office and sia Williams and Breese had proposed that the three companies should unite with a view of opposing more effectually tlie Great Western Company that if I would join them all my past expences would he secured to me and a handsome bonus given to me besides and that ri arrange to hare all opposition to my nght to Porthdynllaen withdrawn In reply Istated to Mr Powell that 1 would not on any terma or at an tune unite with the proposed amalgamation believing as didthat collectively or separately they had neither the will nor tho means to carry a line to Torthilynllaen and that I strongly suspected that their sole aim (at least that of the parties behind the scenes was to so entungle me with them as owner of Porthdynllaen as to render me unable to turn it to public advantage or to exert myself in favour of any rowi desirous of terminating a railway at Porthdynllaen This was the last of the many
