THE DEANERY OF BANGOR.—We are glad to announce that the deanery of Bangor has been offered to and accepted by the Rev Henry Thomas Edwards, M.A., Vicar of Carnarvon-cum- Llanbeblig. The dean designate, who is identified with the high church school, is the son of the late Rev W. Edwards, Vicar of Llangollen, and was born at Llanymowddwy. He was educated at West- minster School, and subsequently entered at Jesus College, Oxford, where he took his bachelor's degree in 1851. His first curacy was Llangollen, whence, in 1866, he was preferred to the vicarage of Aber- da.re, succeeding the Rev Evan Lewis, M.A., now Chancellor of Bangor. In 1869 he was appointed Vicar of Carnarvon, and at the last election of proctors in convocation he was elected one of the representatives for the clergy of the diocese.

IS ROMANISM TAUGHT IN THE CHURCH SCHOOLS ? EXCITING DEBATE AT A CONSERVATIVE MEETING. An exciting discussion took place at the annual meeting of the Denbih Conservative Association, on Tueaday evening last, which we report at length to expose the charges mad9 against the Church Sunday Schools. Mr Yorke, of Dyffryn Aled. took up a paper, and laid: Somebody has sent me a catecl1ism, which has beeu circulated in Denbigh. At this juncture the audience became impatient, and cries were made of no religious controversy," when Dr Tumour lIaid, never mind. let him go on. Mr Yorke, whose affliction of deafness prevented his hear- in the interruption, said Now there is Conservatism in religion as well as in politics." Confusion thea began, and his friend Mr J. C. Wynne Edwards wrote on paper that he had better drop the subject. This Mr Yorke seemed willing to do, but it was judged best by others that he should go on, and that the whole matter should come out. Mr Yorke then continued, amidst interruption, to state that a ssuOl csteofciaa wu pteoed iii ttsbvuU ea the prerious day, containing most ritualistic nonsense. He then read ø follows Q, Whyt is the Eucharist ? A. It is the Boay and Blood of Christ. Q. Under what form? ^•1. Tin nor :hefonn "i broad awl wine. Q How do the bread and wiue become the Body and Blood of Clni.t ? A, By the p w r of God, Q, To whom did Te-ais first give His Body and Blood? A. To IItwelve 0. To whom did lie give authority to make bread and wine His Body and Bloud ? A. To the Apostles; and the Bishops and who came after them. Q. When do the broad and wine become Christ's Body and Blood? A. When the words of consecration are said by the Priest at the altar. Q. What is the Eucharist besides a sacrament? A. It is also a sacrifice. Q. Whht is a sacrifice ? A. Something offered to God upon an altar. Q. Where does He now offer Ilimself ? A. In iie;ivi-n anil (Ill panll. 0. Where does H^ offi*r himself upon earth ? A. In tlie Holy Eucharist. (Great confusion). Mr Idwal Jones, a Catholic, cried out that neither Mr Yorke nor Mr Copner Edwards was competent to give an opinion on that subject, and nobody there asked them to give one (applause). A Voice Why, that is out of the Banner (derisive cheers). Dr. Tumour (tuniiM excitement): Gentlemen, it is our duty as (.'liureiim. ii to lefute the yruve and falre charges brought against us. This is a matter of truth. Xo such book has be-n taught in our school (cheers). I like to call a spade a spade and I'll explain to yon all the circumstances under which that has gone out and the abominable way in which the matter has been circulated throughout this diocese (applau"e). The, Chairman sought to interfere. Dr. Tumour: Asa Churchman, I disapprove entirely of that doctrine—(.cheers)—aud aL-o of persons acting as they have doee in this matter (cheers and confusion). The Chairman Geiniemen, we are getting into a warm theological controversy. Dr, Hughes: W hut nave we to do with differences of opinion in theology (applause). The subject has nothing to do with this meeting. We ought not to.admit our religious disputes into this meeting, which is composed of all shades (applau-e). A good deal of confusion took place here, several persons talking at once; at length, Mr J. A. Yorke (Vale-street) stated that, although a good Conservative, he was a Dissenter, and he wished his religious opinions respected. There were al-o Roman Catholics present, and tli(- v ought to lie rea cted. Tllw" had come there to discuss politics, and if they adhered to that subject they should get on better. Dr. Tumour: I claim the privilege of saying a few words. I don't see what is the u-e of coming here and pas-ip;' >' lot of pleasant resolut on? without expressing our feelings fearlessly. 1 had no idea that Mr Yorke, of DyjJryn Aled, would have named the subject of Ihiscatechism. "[lie ought n«>tj. Having named it, we know very well what the impression may be if it i, not brou-ht out and reruted. Gentlemen, this matter has I been put into our enemies' paner, the Bll1wer-(derisivl' ap- plause)—and it is being circulated about that in our Sunday schools such doctrines as Mr Yorke alludes to are being taught by our Church Sunday school teachers 31 r Edwards That's not the fact. A Voice: It's in the Banner, but it's not the first lie I chers). Mr Edwar(Is Stop, I know more about it than anybody (disapprobation and cheers). Dr l'umour More than you ought to know, sir (ap- pbuse)o Mr Edwards No, no but it is also said that the doctrines are taught in the churches in the diocese, and that is a lie (cheers j. Dr Tumour: It is my duty a" a Churchman, and I don't shrink from it, to refute such assertions as have been made and scattered about to the effect that such doctrines are or have been taught in our schools. I say it is false Mr Edwards What ? Dr Tumour I stand up here- Mr Edwards btop, JllY old friend. Much excitement and confusion here prevailed at length Dr Tumour was heard as follows: As a Churchman and Conservative I am bound to repudiate such doctrines, and to say that I utterly disapprove of them (cheers; Mr Edwards, loudly, "hear hear"). Sir, I have proof positive that sueh doctrines have never been taught in our Sunday Schools (cheers), and I wish the l'ress to take particular notice of it, because it is the only way in which I can contradict these false notions that have got abroad. I have seen the person that possessed the book, I have seen the letter relating to it, and as the matter has been named here, I consider it my duty as a Churchman and Conservative to deny and let it clearly go forth that such doctrines have never been taught in our .Sunday bchool (cheers). The doctrines are contrary to the principles of the Reformation (cheers)- When 1 came here I had no idea that such a dis- i cussion as this would crop up, but I should have l/Uen ashamed of myself if I had not got up and boldly declared that that catechism has never been taught either in our Church or schools and onlyone cupyof it has ever been bought by tho personto whom it really behnge, but for some reason best known to himself another individual ordered some dmwn" tu be brought down to this town aud has disseminated them broadcast through the town and diocese with the iduil of showing, I presume, that the doctrines it contained were taught in our National Schools ishaiue). I think it right that' I should tell you all the circumstances I apjJlause). Some two years ago a Sunday School teacher to whom the origiual catechism under dis- cussion belongs, saw it advertised in the Queen newspaper, and thinking that possibly it would be an assistance to her in her Sunday School work, she obtained a copy of it and read it. She saw at once that the doctrines therein were opposed to her own feelings, for slie disapproved of them entirely, and put the book upon her book-shelf (A Voice: Instead of burning it). A fortnight or three weeks ago it got amongst her Sunday School books, and it is thought it fell upon the street. I abstain fr >m saying how it has been spread. It was picked up and was immediately taken to a certain gentleman in this town, although the lady's name was upon it (shame). One would have thought that it would have been taken directly back to the owner (cheers). That would have been the true Conservative way of dealing with it. Instead of that, it was immediately taken to one of onr liadical opponents, and he passed it on to another Radical, and then it got into the hands of a third party. Mr Edwards: 011, use my name; the third party was me. Dr Tumour So instead of its being taken to theownos it was sent to the Bishop. Mr Edwards JSo, no; I sent for 150 copies, and I sent, or rather I took one of them to the Bishop. Dr Tumour continued The bishop had one conveyed to him with the idea, no doubt, that such doctriaes were being taught in the school. Well, one of the curates was sent for, indeed received a sort of mandate to appear before the Bishop. He was taken to task lor allowing such and such doctrines to be taught in our National school. The curate at once said, My Lord, I don't believe that such doctrines have been taught." The Bishop replied, "They are taught, and I have the names of every Sunday school scholar in the lady's class to whom the book uelong:3." So that you see the subject had been well worked up. Mr Edwards: No, no. Dr Tumour The Bbhop told the curate that he expected him to go and address the scholars and teachers that the doctrines contained in the book were heterodox. He was also to call upon that lady, and ask her if she believes such ¡J."ctrines, and if so she must never be allowed to enter the school again. This you see is the history of this Catechism iluut which there has been so much insinuation. It was bought k years ago. and haa never under any circumstances been used by the hldy, and if the proper thing had beeildone, and the book when found sent back to her, as her nalllC was an it, we should have heard none of this unpleasantness (cheers). But instead of that it was given to Mr Hum phrey Roberts and Mr G-ee (lond iauj liter), our political opponents. If it had been dealt with in a proper Conservative manner it would have been taken back to the lady who owned it (hear, hear). A Yoice: It was a moan, shabby trick (cheers). That catechism was, however, sent far and near for the pnrpose of insinuating that we in Denbigh believe and teach sueh doc- Lriiie. which is not the case (applause). Now I say fearlessly that it was the duty of every good Churchman to have satis- lied himself before allowing the misstatements to go to tho Banner that the doctrines were really taught in the school ( applflnse). A Voice: Why was not Mr Edwards atJne Sunday school if he is a good Churchman y (hear). Dr Tumour Let me just add to my denial of the dod rines that I have seen a letter from the owner of that Catechism repudiating in the most determined manner any belief in the doetranes. She had satisfied herself that they were false, and she has ii, vcr taught them (cheers). There may be parents here whose children go to the schools; let me earnestly say to you that you have nothing to f r, that such doctrines never have and never will be taught in our schools at Denbigh (loud cheers). Mr Copner Edwards That Catechism dropped out of one of the Sunday school teacher's pockets as she came out of the Sunday school. It was an unfortunate tllÍng that it did drop out of her poekut and Bible, in one sense. Now, if it had been in her possession two years it must have instilled itself into her mind (lpucl cries of "•Shame, shame," and "No, no," during; which tho speaker could be heard saying, Hear mo out "). The ChuirmaTI: Really 1 don't think that is-quite fair (applause). .M:r Edward* • Now w.;eu it was found it was taken to Mr Humphrey Roberts and he took it 10 Mr Gee (laughter, aud cries d Birmingham A Voice: The cztt's out of the bag now (laughter). Mr Edwards Aud _\1 I' Gee brought it back to me (renewed cries of The Birmingham League," and" But it down to the school board"). Mr Edwards: Oh, if you don't wish me to speak, I can sit down (order). There and then I Hmd" the best inquiries I could as to whether the cat<*chism had been taught, in the Sunday school. I made the most strict inquiries, and I found out that it was not, and never had been used in the Sunday schools openly at any rate (cheers). I went down to the bishop with a COPy, and told him what had transpired I told him to the best of my beaef—and I saw him write it down in his book from my dictation-that, to the best of my know- ledge, it never had been u ed uvertly in the schools of Denbigh (cheers). Now, I alii not responsible for it going to the lianer, but I am anxious that the Welsh people sliou:d know that there is an Church Defence Association— established for the purpose of opposing all such doctrines as those cOlltainNl in that catedl1>,lII, and taking care of the liberties of tlw children of the coming generation. My friend, Dr Tumour, says lie is not a Ritualist; if he is not a Ritualist I am sure lie has got,, crucifix on the brain (loud cries of '• shame," and great sensation). Dr Tumour, who seemed greatly astonished at the statement referred to, said he should be sorry to be so wanting in respect for his Saviour and the great Redemption that the crucilix reminded him of, if he was guilty of such expre sions as 3ir Edwards could use, particularly when he couid expr-ss himself in such language a, hoping co see that unholy thing buried in oblivion." 0 Mr Edwards: So I do. .11 I' Davies (King's Mills): Mr Chairman, have I made a mistake in the room. 1 was summoned to a constitutional meeting, can you tell me where it is? (cheers /lnd laughter). This is a meeting where two friends are jawing each other. If you'll let me know when the constitutional meeting is I shall be glad, I'll w sli you goodnight now (laughter). Mr Idwal Jones (a Catholic) considered that it showed a want of respect to the Conservative cause to bring up that question. A man may be very sincere, whether a Dissenter like Mr J. A. Yorke, or a low Churchman like Mr Edwards For his own part, he was a Conservative, yet he believed the very doctrine thpy denounced. As a Conservative, his views on religion should be respected (applause). It had been great mistake to introduce that discussion, and it would he feared, fall heavy on the Conservative cause iu Denbigh. Ho hoped they should never hear anymore of it. They" lived in a tree country. Let all enjoy their own opinions (applause). Mr Thomas Morris, as a member of the Church Sunday School, said lie was a-tonished and surprised when he saw the articles alluded to 111 the Ba)illerfor lie hadneverseen anything taught in the Sunday schools similar to the doctrines referred to that night. Dr lurncur, as a Churchman, had done quite right in refuting such statements as were charged against the Churchmen. He considered that the Banner should make an apology—(applause)—for having made such statements. And It was not very fair not to take the bo k back when found. Suppose he found a purse, it was his duty not to keep it, but to honestly give it up to the police and how much more so when the name was written in the article lost (applause). If those were the tricks of Radicals, he should be ashamed to belong to them. The meeting soon afterwards terminated. [It is but right we hould btate that from inquiries we have made there is not the slightest reason for affirming that the doctrines taught in the catechism in question, which is entitled A Second Catechism for the Children of the Church issued by the Church Extension Association," are or ever have been taught in any way whatever in Denbigh Church Sunday Schools; and all who know anything of the teaching of the clergy in charge of the parish can testify that their views are altogether different from those enunciated in the book named.]

OSWESTRY. CHURCH OF ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S SOCIBTT.—The annual meeting of the local branch of this gooifty was held is the Victoria Boom., on Hoodar, under tile pre- sidency of the Vicar. There WM a good attendance. The treasurer's accounts were passed. The secretary's report stated that there had been a large increase in thy number of young men who avail themselves of the ad- vantage of the society, the reading-room members num- bering between twenty and thirty more than at this time last year. Thanks were accorded to Mr Naylor, Mr Bentley, and those who had assisted at tho enter- tainments. An atheletic club is to be formed cn faster Monday, in connection with the society. The committee commended to the voting men the Bible class, conducted by Air Hionett, on Sunday afternoons. The following are the officers for the ensuing year :—President, Lord Harlech treasurer, Mr AiHIL- ton; secretary, the Rev. E. J. liees; librarian, Mr James Mlyn committee, the parochial clergy, Messrs. Hignett, John Evans, W. C. Evans, E. Shaw, W. H. Gough, W. Shone, and G. Glascodine. FATAL ACCIDENT—An inquest was held on Satur- day, at the White Lion Inn, on the body of Edward Davies, who was killed from the effects of a tree falling OIl him, whilst cutting timber in a cover, at Pentre. A verdict m accordance with the evidence was returned.

RUABON. THE RKTURK OF Sm w. W. YVYNN.—The adjourned meeting of the parishioners, convened to consider what steps should be taken to give a suitable reception to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart.. M.P., upon his return home to Wynnstay from his Mediterranean cruise, was held at the Wyanstay Arms Hotel, Ruabon, on Tuesday afternoon. There were present—Dr. Roberts (in the chair), Mr E. T. Fitch, the Rev. C. F. Jones, Messrs. T. YardJey. Joseph Owen, jun., G. E. Woodford, Joseph Davies (Swan Inn), J. Jones (Pentre-issa), H. C. Murless. Letsome, erg-t. Jones (Rhos), C. H. Lloyd, John Owens (White Horse Inn), E. Tunnah, P. Pbillips, G. Edwards (Trevor House), S. Lewis (Park Eyton), R. E. Jones (Ruabon), and the hon. sec., Mr R. Lloyd.—The latter read the various sums promised or paid towards the con- tingent fund. The total amount promised in a few days was £iíO.-The Chairman said this did not represent the amount they were likely to receive, for they had no returns from Cefn in fact, no calculation could yet be made.—Mr Fitch said most districts were represented at the meeting, and he thought they might discuss what should be done with the monsy.—The Chairman thought I it was generally agreed to give Sir Watkiu a loyal reception on his return to Wynnstay, and he was assured that the colliers were particularly anxious to take part in the demonstration.—Mr Fitch confirmed the statement. As regarded the fund, it was suggested that a memorial clock should be erected in Rhos In houcur of the event.—Mr Yardley thought a clock in Ruabon Church-steeple would be far more con- spicuous and useful.—Mr Woodford was sure that a memorial clock in Rhos would please Sir Watkin.—Mr Murless said that at the previous meeting Mr Taylor had suggested a fountain, but the idea was not feasible, as each district would require one. A clock ut Ruabon would be for the benelit of the whole parish.—Several gentlemen; from Rhos stated that in that village there was a strong feeliDg in favour of erecting a clock. The inhabitants did not want a fountain for they had-a plenti- ful supply of good water.—The Chairman said they did not want a great show on the day of Sir Watkin's arrival, but would give him a welcome reception. They might wait longer for subscriptions to commemorate the event and decide by vote how this could best be done. He belonged to the Church, but, he thought that in this instance it had no particular call on Church- men or Nonconformists. If Churchmen had spirit enough they should subscribe for a new clock.—The Rev C F. Jones denied that the use of the clock would be con- fined to Churchpeople. Nonconformists would also benefit by it.—Sergt. Jones (Rhos) said be was requested by the senior magistrate for the county to ask for a clock for Rhos (laughter). They, at Rhos, wanted something to put, them in remembrance of Sir Watkm, and a clock would do this as well as tell the colliers the time to go to their work. Mr Meredith had promised five guineas if they erected a clock at Rhos.—Mr Woodford sug- gested that the subject be postponed until they had all the subscriptions in.—A long discussion followed in the course of which the claims of Rhos were advocated by the gentlemen from that district, who assured the meet- ing that morning that nothing but, a clock would satisfy them.—A motion to found a scholarship for a boy from the parish, at the University College, was submitted by the Rev C. F. Jones, and lost by a large majority, as was also a resolution for a clock at Ruabon. Ultimately it was proposed by Mr Fitch, and seconded by Mr Letsome, that the subscriptions obtained by the Rhos people be appropriated to a memorial at Rhos, which was agreed to. There are therefore now two committees. We believe it is the intention of Sir Watkin to reach London on the ISth inst., and to arrive at Wynnstay on the lilth or 20th, in time for Bangor Steeplechases. ENTERTAINMENT.—On Monday evening, an entertain- ment was given in the National Schoolroom, in aid of the National School funds. The Rev C. F. Jones occupied the chair, in the absence of Mr George Edwards. The programme being an exceedingly at- tractive one, drew together one of the largest audiences that have attended either of the entertainments this season. The chairman made a very appropriate opening speech, detailing the goof resulting from these enter- tainments. Mr Sparrow was the accompanist, and the prestige which he has now obtained is a sufficient guarantee that his portion of the performance \\as as usual—masterly. A piano duet, Zampa," by Mr Sparrow and Miss Jennie Davies, which was given in first class style, opened the programme, after which Mr C, H. Lloyd sang "Shams" in a style that shows that it is not for want of ability that he appears so seldom on public platforms. He has an easy self-reliant way of singing that an audience cannot have too much of. We hope to hear him oftener next season. Mr two songs, Give me the man of honest heart," and Glass, with care," were given in his nsual good style. Mr Lambert, who has made himself such a favourite in this neighbourhood, sang two songs, Chester Road," and" I was never meant for the sea," in a capital manner. Mr Nmnis' recitations" I'm sittmg on the stile, Mary," and Dr Puff," were well appreciated. Master W. Davies, of Hilas, sang three songs in a way that quite took the audience by storm. They were charmingly rendered. Mr Totnkins' two songs were much applauded, and given in good comic style. Mr J. E. Davies' rendering of Tommy, make room for your uncle," caused quite a furore, the audience joining in the chorus with much heartiness. His other song, "Father says I may," was also capitally given. Miss Jennie Davies performed her two solos on the piano in a first-class manner. Miss Evans and Mr William Evans gave the "ABC" duet very ably. Betty Wynne (by request), a Welsh duet, was gone through in a most admirable manner by Messrs William Evans and Williams. Miss Evans sang the solo of Come where my love lies dreaming." the chorus being taken up by Mr Evans and party. This reflected great credit on their teacher, Mr William Evans. Mr J. Wright sang" He's the man for me," and was highly applauded Air J. Pritchard and party sang a Welsh solo and chorus very creditably; they also gave a dialogue. Mr J. Morrison gave" Pull for the shore, sailors," wrh taste. The Ruabon troupe of amateur Ghristys, which has so highly distinguished itself this seaspifr"wound up their gratuitous engagements by a grand performance at the close of the programme. A voe of thanks was given to the chairman, who replied in suitable terms. This brought, the affair to a close. After paying ali expenses, a handsome sum was handed over to the school funds. The whole credit of getting up this successful entertainment is entirely due to the un- tiring energy of Mr J. Parry and T. E. Griffiths, who have also bad the management of the winter enter- tainments in the schoolroom.

CHESTER. SUICIDE.—Mrs Donaghey, wife of a bill poster, com- mitted suicide on Tuesday by hanging horself with a rope from a bed post. When cut down she was quite dead. THE CATHEDRAL SERVICES.—The daily services will be resum d to-morrow morning. Morning prayer, with sermon and Holy Communion, at II a.m. The Lord Bishop will preach in the morning, and the Rev E. Massie in the evening. On the Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Passion week there will be special services, when Haydn's Passion music will be sung.

THE ALLEGED FORGERY ON THE NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BAK. At the Guildhall (London) Police Court on Friday, the 24th ult., James Fuller, who refused to give his address, was charged before Alderman Carter with uttering a forged check for .£84, well knowing it to be forged, and with intent to defraud the National Provincial Bank of England. Mr Wilde prosecuted. Mr George de Casson said he was paying cashier at the National Pro- vincial Bank of England, 112, Bishopsgate-street. On Thursday afternoon, about 20 minutes to four o'clock, the prisoner presented the check produced for .284, dated the 21st of March, 187G, and signed "W. B. Bud- dicom," and asked for payment. Witness replied that he had no advice. The check was drawn on the Mold branch on their bank. The prisoner then inquired if he had not received a telegram ordering him to pay it. Witness, after making inquiries, told him they had not. The prisoner asked what time the bank c'osed, and he informed him four o'clock. He then said he would call again, as he was sure a telegram would come instructing them to pay it. He went out, returned in about five minutes, and again asked if they had received a telegram. He told him No," and a few minutrs after that he was shown into the manager's room. Mr John William Dalton, manager to the Mold branch of the Bank, said they formerly had a customer of the name of Buddicom at that branch, but his account had been closed for three years, The signature to the check pro- duced was not Buddicom's, nor at all like it. On Thurs- day afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, he received a telegtam produced from the North London Station, pur- porting to come from W. B. Buddicem, of Pembedw, and he telegraphed to the chief office in London. Mr John Brown, head of the country department in the Loadon office of the bank, said he saw tbe prisoner in tha waiting-room of their bank through the glass dear. The manager came oat of the room, leaving the prisoner there alone. In about one minute the manager and the witness returned to the waiting-rbom. There was a piece oi paper on the Art. which the mtuuger snatched off. It was the check for J584. The prisoner attempted to snatch it from him, but witness held his arm and pre- vented him. The prisoner then said H I know I have told you a falsehood." A police-constable was sent for and the prioner givell into custody. William Sutton, 92 said that on Thursday afternoon he was called to the bank aud took the prisoner into custody. That morniyg the prisoner told him that he had been duped by another man. Some weeks ago he was on the rocf of an omnibus, and the other man got into conversation with iiim, and made an agreement with him to go t Mold. The other man had behaved like a perfect gentleman," and had given him food and money. They met outside the house on Thursday morning, and the other Inm said to him, "I have sold my chestnut mare, but I don't like this man's paper I would rather havo the little pieces with the Queen's head on them." The other man then went with ijim to the bank and told him when the check was cashed to wait on the steps for him. Previous to going to the bank they went to a telegiapii office. The other man said, "If this one is wrong I suppose all the others were. I have cashed scores and have been into every bank in the Strand." The prisoner was remanded.

THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. [From our own Reporter.] LONDON', Thursday. To-day Joseph Parry, who had previously given the name of James Fuller, and refused to give fiis address, was brought up, on remand, at the Guildhall, before Alderman Carter, on the charge of uttering forged cheques in three several instances, knowing them to be forged, with the intent to defraud the Natioual Provincial Bank of England, Messrs Roberts and Co., and the Lon- don and Westminster Bank. The witnesses who had on a previous occasion been examined, having signed their depositions, Mr Mullins, who appeared for the prosecution, regretting the unavoidable absence of one of his principal witnesses, Mr Buddicom, proceeded with his case. He called first Mr William Scott, who on being sworn, said he was a clerk in the Receiver and Accountant General's department in the Post Office. He had charge of all the telegrams handed in by senders from the main olfices and varIOus branches. He produced an origiual tele- gram form filled up by a sen Jer of same ou the 22nd instant. It purported to come from W. B. Buddicom, of Penbedw, at London," to the Manager, Natioual Pro- vincial Bank at Mold, and was worded as follows :— Please telegraph immediately to your head clerk here to cash my cheque for eighty guineas here, as it is urgently required to-day." Mr Mullins here pointed out to the worthy Alderman on the bench that in comparing the handwritiug of this telegram and the cheque for eighty-four pounds which had been presented at the Natioual Provincial Bank, it would be found very similar. Alderman Carter said it was, especially the word eigtity," although it was guineas" in the telegram and "pounds" in the cheque. Mr Mullins regretted he could not call Mr Buddicom in respect to the signature of the cheque to complete this portion of the evidence. The prisoner having declined to ask Mr Scott [ questions, Mr Mullins went on with the next case against him, that of presenting a cheque of £.30 on Messrs Robarts] Lubbock, and Co., of 21. Lombard-street, purporting to be drawn by Charles Davison, well knowing at the same time it to be forged. Walter Frederick Payne stated that :he was the cashier of the country department of the London branch of Messrs Robarts, Lubbock, and Co. They were the agents of Williams and Co., The Old Bank, Chester. On the 28th January he was informed of t. telegram (produced) having been received in his department from Williams and Co. The telegram was hereupon read, aud ran as follows:—"Please cash cheque for £50 for Mr Charles Davison, of Northop, staying at the Tavistock Hotel." Mr Mullins After seeing the telegram in question, was the cheque referred to brought to you ?—It was. Can you say by whom it was presented? Witness (looking straight at the prisoner) By that man there. When tho cheque was presented to me I marked it for payment, aud sent prisoner with it to the town cashier for payment, it not being the practice to give cash in the country department. The prisoner having declined asking this witness any questions, Mr Wheldon Hepworth. the town cashier at Messrs Robarts and Co., was then sworn, lie said ou the 28th January the cheque shown him (produced), purp orting to bo d.awn by Charles Davison on Williams and Co., was brought to him for payment initialed by the last witness Payne.' Mr Mullins: Can you recollect the person who brought it to you ?—Not in the least. I paid the cheque in one note for £50. Is that note (shown) tha one which you gave in payment for the cheque?—Yes, it is the same number that I have in my book it is dated 18th of March, 1875. Prisoner again declined cross-examining this wit- ness. Mr William Vincent, clerk to Messrs Williams and Co., of the Old Bank, Chester, stated that on the 28th January, he received a telegram (produced). It pur- ported to come from Mr Charles Davison, of Northop, at the Tavistock Hotel, to Williams and Co., and it read as follows :—"Please telegraph immediately to your agents here, Messrs liobarts and Co., to cash one cheque for £50, as it is wanted at once." Iu consequence of the receipt of this telegram, we sent another to Robarts and Co., as requested, directing them to pay the £;)0. Mr Muilins Do you know tlie prisoner? Mr Vincent: Yes, I have known him about seven and a half years. What is his name ?—Joseph Parry. What was be, and where residing when you knew h:m?—He was with Mr Bate, brewer, at Kelsferton, near Flint. Mr Bate kept an account at our bank, and that is how I came to know the prisoner. Have you ever seen the prisoner write?—Yes, often. Are you well acquainted with his handwriting?—I am (witness was here shown a cheque for £;O on Williams and Co., purporting to be drawn by Charles Davison, and the one on the National Provincial Bank, purporting to be diawn by W. B. Buddicom). Have you any belief a to whom the handwriting in these cheques belong ?—Thero is a similarity in both to the prisoner's. By the Bench Do you believe they arc in the writing of the prisoner?—I cannot swear; th:re is a similarity. Can yon speak confidently on the point ?—It is like Parry's writing in both cheques. Do you believe it to b3 in the prisoner's writing ?— I do. The witness was here shown a cheque for on the North and South Wales Batik purportmg to be drawn by Adam Eyton.—Do you believe this cheque to be in Joseph Parry's handwriting?—I do. Cross-examined by the prisoner You say you have frequently seen mo write where have you seen me ?— Yes, I have, at the bank. Prisoner I challenge you to bring a single instance of your seeing me write?—On the 6th August, 1871, I saw vou write at the bank. Prisoner I challenge you to produce :i..roof of that assertion. Mr Davison, of Celyn, Northop, Flintshire, was then sworn. The cheque shown him and purporting to be drawn by himself, was not written or authorised by him. The signature was a forgery. He was not in London oil the 28th January of this year, when the cheque was purported to be signed by him at tho lavistock Hotel. (Shown original telegram produced from the Cornhill Telegraph Office by Mr Scott, of tho Post-office). Did not send the te;cgram produced, nor was it sent by his authority. Never stopped at the Tavistock Hotel when in London. By the Bench Do you know the prisoner ?—Very well. How long have you known him ?—Ever since he was born. Did he reside in your neighbourhood ?—He did. Are you acquainted with his handwriting?—I have often seen him write and know his handwriting. (Shown telegram purporting to be sent from Tavistock Hotel). Do you recognise that writing as that of the prisoner ? —I should not surmise it to be in his handwriting at all (The witness was here shown the three cheques'alreadv produced m evidence, and asked as to their resemblance to the prisoner's handwriting) :—Those two, the one for £84: and one for are very much like his hand. writing; the one for .£.30 does "not resemble it, it has not got so much character. The signature is a very good imitation of my name. The prisoner having declined to ask the witness any questions, the third case against him, that of the Loudon and Westminster Bank, was then gone into. Mr Edward Down stated that be was the cashier in the Lothbury branch of the London and Westminster Bank counting apartment. They were the agents of the Holywell branch of the North and South Wales Bank. On the 2nd February last a cheque (produced) for £70 dated that day, land purporting to be drawn by Adam Eyton on the North and South Wales Bank, was presented there for payment. Do you remember who it was presented by ?—I do. By whom ?—By the Prisoner. Are you sure ?—Yes. Did you find you had advice for this cheque when so presented ?—I had not received any advice of it. Did the prisoner say anything ?—He said we would receive advice by telegraph, as he had been round with Mr Eyton to the Telegraph Office, and saw him send a telegram off to have the cheque advised. Did such advice come immediately after ?—Yes while the prisoner was there It might have been ten r or twelve minutes while he was talking to him before it < came. i Witness here produced telegram from Holywell branch of the North and South Wales Bank, to the London and r Westminster Bank, Lothbury, London.—You will be quite safem cashing the cheque of Mr Adam Eyton, our i director, for £10. Yon have aeea his signature on ac- l eeptaoces. rr In consequence of that telegram, he marked the cheque presented by prisoner for payment, and sent him to town cashier for the money. No more questions were asked this witness, and prisoner declined to cross-examine him. William Holland-, he paying cashier of the Lojrdo and We tntin-ter Blnk, was then sworn. JLHI the cheque for for parmer.* en the 2nd of L ebruary last. Had no r; collection of l ire p*-rsou presenting Paid ir i:i two notes.one of £ :,(> jad cue (notes shown). These coincide wi-.« numbers inmyhfok. Mr Willinm Evans, manager of Holywell branch of the North and South Wales Bank stated that Mr Adam Eyton kept an account at this branch. Ou the 2nd of Feqruary iie received a telegram purporting to come from that gentleman at the Craven Hotel, London. It was worded as follows :—Please telegraph to Londop and and Westminster Bank to cash my cheque for ¡¿70, it being urgently wanted." In cünsqueuce of that, he telegraphed as requested. (Telegram produced.) Question Are you acquainted, with the prisoner? I remember him very well. I think he left our neighbourhood tlirefe or four yearsaco,and I knew him six or seven yea-s before that. I 'think I have seen him write and know his handwriting. (Witness here shown cheques). O' I believe the cheque lor £ "f is in his handwriting from a comparison- with- documents I have here. [Counsel objected to any papers being produced not beloii-'ing Jo the case]. He Knew the prisoner from his collecting money and orders for Mr Bate, the brewer. Cross-p.xamine-l by Prisoner: Have seen you write frequently at the bank, thought your writing particu- larly Rood, and took.notice ot it. Saw your signature frequently to receipts for rent for Mr Bate's tenants. Mr Adam Eyton, director of the North and South Wales Bank, denie1 that the cheque for £ïO produced was written or signed by him, or given by his authority. He never sent the telegram produced. He knew prisoner, but not very. well. Had known him at his duties as a collector ior Mr lJate. Could not say he knew the prisoner's handivriting. ¥' On Counsel stating he would call Mr Vincent again to prove that the telegrams as already admitted were in prisoner's writing, the prisoner stated that tho statements of the constable Suttar were untrue. He never said he had gone to a telegraph oflico. 0" copied a telegraph for the rt-an he met. Mr Vincent recalled, stated that he believed the telegrams produced to be in the writing of Joseph Parry, the prisoner. Mr Mullins having stated that he had now carried the case as far as he was prepared that day, Alderman Carter, at his request, again remanded the prisoner.

SATURDAY. The Lords had a special sitting, when the Consoli- dated Fund (£111,019.),)U) Bill was read a second time, and the standing orders Having beeu dispensed with, the measure was passed through the remaining stages.

MONDAY: In the Lords, the Earl of Shaftesbury gave notice that on tfoing into committee on the Royal Titles Bill he will move an address praying her Majesty to assume a title more in accordance than that of empress with, the history of the country and the loyalty of her sub- jects- A motion by the Duke of Northumberland for the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into the working and management of works and manufac- tories giving off noxious vapours was agreed to after some uiseussion-—Replying to Lord Chelmsford, the Lord Chancellor stated that it would be useless under the present circumstances to :ay on the table a bill on the subject of the marriage law, but that it was his anxious desire to introduce at the earliest possible opportunity a bill to giv-i effect to the main recommen- dations of the commission of 1808, namely, sucli a consolidation of the existing marriage laws as would produce uniformity of system in England, Scotland, and Ireland. In the Commons, in committee on the Merchant Shipping Bill, Mr Plimsoll moved an amendment to Clause 3, requiring every Britisii snip, before leaving any port in the United Kingdom, to be provided with a certificate of seaworthiness in liuli, equipment and machinery. lie proposed to except trom liis provision ships belonging to the Cunard Company, the I eninsitlar and Oriental Company and those classed inLlojds Registry and the Liverpool, Underwriters' Registry, reserving power to the Board ot Trade to vvitudravv this exemption in the event of the classifica- tion being insuiffcient- to secure seaworthiness.—Sir C. Adaerley said the adoption of this amendment would be fatal to the bill. It was a question of two methods of prevention, and the proposal of the Government was far more efficient than that of Mr Piims-,11-—The amendment was supported by Mr E. J. Reed, Mr atkin iliiams, Mr Forster and others: whilst Lord Eslnigton, Mr Lefevre, Mr McTver. Mr Norwood, and Mr Brassey opposed the atnendiooi.— The Chancellor ot the Exchequer disclaimed any intention of treating the question as one 01 party, and stated that the measure was the result of the careful and impartial consideration of the Government dur- ing the recess- The question raised by the amendment had occupied their most atkxious attention, but iuey had come to the conclusion that the responsibility should be left with the shipowners, and had shrunk from making a proposal which, however tempting, they believed would not only be a failure, but would be lraught with great danger.—The committee then divided, and the amendment was negatived by 217 to 110 majority, 137. Progress was then reported.

TUESDAY. In the Lords, the Dukf of Buccleuch took occasion to Hive the most distinct and emphatic denial per- mitted by the usages of Parliament to a statement in a, journal which once assumed to itself to lead BuH" by the nose—the Times—which understood that he was to do certain tilings in that House, and to second a motion of Lord Shaftesbury upon the subject of the Royal Titles Bill.—The Duke of Richmona aud Gordon introduced a bill for amending the law relating to agricultural holdings in Scotland, being .-imi.ar in principle to the recently adopted law in regard to English ho dings. Several bills were read a third time, including the County Palatine ot Lancaster (Clerk of the leace) Bill and the Manchester Post-ollice hill. In the Commons, a long debate arose out oi the motion ot Mr Weldon, that the question of the borough itaiiohise in Ireland was deserving of the immediate attention oi Parliament, with the view of establishing equality ot the franchise in the three countries.—Sir M. liicks-Beacli remarked that the question i >r the House to decide was, whether household suffrage was to be introduced into Ireland, and maintained that whenever Parliament had from time to time dealt with, the franchise it had invariably applied different princi- ples to England and Ireland. A disturbance of the franchise must be accompanied by a reuismbution of seats. No doubt after a short time it would be neces- sary that the franchise should be dealt with, but they had a valid and bona jide programme of Irish measures for this and the next session, and they did not desire that their hands should be lettered by having this measure forced on them.—Mr Bright asserted that me restrictions on the Irish borou-Iii franchise v,ere -k> great as to be indefensible, and not a siugte argument had been urged which he had not heard I) n .ies against; an extension of the sulTrage. Tlie redistribu- tion of seats had nothing to do with the question, and was (illy introduced for the purpose of obstruction. To extend household suffrage to Ireland woult teuni Lie people that, Parliament was not afraid of them. but invited them to take au interest iu political affairs, aud it would produce that beneficial effect on the nation which always followed just aud generous treafmeiiT The division was tneu taken, and tPe a majority of 13 against the motion, the IFUagainst.

WEDNESDAY. In the Commons, a debate arose on Mr Butt's Land lenure (Irclalld) Bill Mr Butt expressed his convic- tion that until the land question was settled there never would be peace anu contentment in Ireland. The bill proposed tue exteuiion to tue whole of Ireland of ^*1,Ulster tenant-right, as it existed before tua passing of the Laud Act.—Lord Elciio said it appeared nothing would sillily Irish representatives till the title to the land had oeen practically transferred to the tenants.— On behalf of the (ioveriinieut, Sir Al. 11. Beach strongly opposed the measure, contending that the good tenant had suthcient security already, and that the bill was really intended to benelit men who did not pay the rent, and who allowed the iarms to deteriorate.—The debate was adjourned.

THURSDAY. In the Lords, the Duke of Richmond moved the secoud reading of the lioyai Titles Bilt., He said that the return of the Prince of \V~->les from India, alter winning golden opinions from its chie's aud princes constituted the most littiug opportunity fb, bnn "ine the title of her Majestyiuto closer connection withher vast Indian empire- The title of "Empress" was far more applicable to the condition of things in India than that of" Queen, and no objection was raised to it until the question unfortunately degenerated mto one of party warfare. Alter some. discussion the bill was read a second time. In the Commons.. Lord Eslingtan moved an amend- ment on clause ol tue Merchaut Shipping Bill. This clause makes the act of sending an unseaworthy ship to sea a misdemeanour, and tn& amendment sought to enforce upon those who made a charge oLuuseaworthi- ness the onus 01 proof, instead of holding the owner as J3] i 8 v the vessel was seaworthy—Sir C. Adderley opposed the amendment, and, after cousider- able discussion it was defeated by 212 votes against 35 —&ir E.J. Wilmot then moved another amendment to th same clause, providing that an owner charged with sending a ship to sea iu an unseascorthy state and giving proof of seaworthiness, should be entitled to give evidence in the same way as any other witness. After a good deal of discussion, this was also defeated by 177 votes against -10. and the clause was agreed to.

THE LIBERAL PARTY. The Times of yesterday remarks that the Opposi- tion is thoroughly disorganised. The energies of its cflder members are exhausted, while the younger men are chiefly remarkable for an immaturity of mind which threatens never to ripen. An attempt to form a Goverment out of such materials would threaten mischief to the country.

DENBIGH. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Denbigh District of the Denbigh;,hire Constitutional Association took place Olt Tuesday night al the large room of the Fanners' Inn. There was a very large attendance, mcluding Mr T. Mainwnrmg, M.'ijor Hughes, Dr A. E. Tumour, Dr J. R. Hughes. Mr C. S. Maitnvaring, Captain R. LI. Williams, Mr J. Lloyd Roberts, M.B., Mr Yorke, Dyffryn Alod Mr John Davies, solicitor; MrMurtin Smith, Park- street; &c., &c. Letters apologising for non-attendance were received from Captain Cole, and Mr E. J. Williams. Mr C. Wynno E'wards proposed that the warmest thanks of the meeting be given to Mr Townshend Mainwaring for his past Services, and that he be requested to c■nti-Mi ■ in office (cheers). There was no man whom they ull esteemed more than their old member, and the association would never hava a better president. Having referred at length to the Working Men's Association, he proceeded to mppurt the union of Church and State, and showed that in au Establisned Church they were all able to meet on common ground and yetjwere protected by the law. Mr John Davies thought they ought to be proud of having a country gentleman coming amongst them and presiding over them, and none could do so in a more able manaer than Mr T. Mainwaring (applause.) The resolution was carried with applause, Mr Mainwaring after re'urniug thanks said he was an old fashioned Tory, and the time was when their motro was "Church and Queen." The Chureh indeeo they looked upon as the gem of their constitution, ai,d we believed that if the country was to remmn great amongst nations it was by the truth, purity, and primitive character of their Church (applause.) Thev admitted there were errors to bo corrected, and as old fashioned Conservatives they said" remove the blots." That was pure Conservatism. Hence they had their Church Associations, the object of which was in a faith- ful way to remove blots wherever they existed and to I'llrifr the Church in a proper manner, and if [hey did that they were doing real constitutional work (applause.) Having referred to their love of their Queen, he remarked that whether she was Empress in India or not she would always be Queen to them. Opposed to them were willing to pull down the Church, men sent to Parliament on purpose to do it. One said, '■disestabti>h the Church in Wales," another "let us get into the churchyards and then we sbaH get into the Churches." He thought that on that subject the opposite party should feel that the churchyard was open to all, and without disturbing the feelings of any man they should bury their dead there. They wanted workmen to un- dertake the repair of the breaches, and they had a capital good workman in the person of Mr George Kenyon (applause)—and he hoped that the result of those meet- ings would be that they would be so banded together that oa a future occasion they would return Mr Kenyon to Parliament (applause. Mr C S. Mainwaring, who was loudly cheered, remarked that he had received a letter from the Hon. George Kenyon, who deeply regretted that he was unable to be with them that Light as he wished to be (applause.) f Every one present would be sorry to hear that he had been confined to his room with a somewhat severe attack of illness, but was now much better (applause.) He proposed that the warmest thanks of that meeting be given to Dr Tumour for past services, and that he be requested to continue in effiee as Vice-Presideut during the ensuing year. In looking back to the past elections, no one had worked h for the Conservative cause than had Dr Turnc-ur. and it would give great pleasure to everyone, if he would take office again (applause.) Their object shoull be to work now in defence of Conservative principles, that they may be all the more aeady and able to carry Mr Kenvon to tha head of the poll (applause.) He then pointed out that that asaociaiton was established to include the whole of the Denbigh polling district for county and borough and referred to the good work being done by the VVorking Men's Association, at whose meeting a few weeks ago he was present, and witnessed an amount of enthusiasm, and heard such eloquence as astonished him (applause. He counselled the establish- meut of an association in other polling districts, and then proceeded to point out that the policy of the present Government was entirely satisfactory to the country— (applause)—for the measures passed would be of immense value. It was their duty to spread Conservative principles, and in no better way could they do it than by supporting those institutions (applause). Mr J. H. Denman said they all knew that Dr Tumour was a true Conservative. He had long been connected with the borough, and was sincere in his attachment to the cause, and therefore a more able vice-presi lent they could not have (cheers). He counselled organisation, for if they had attended to that long ago a different result would have been given to the last election, but he was not at ali disheartened, for he believed Conservatism was growing stronger in tho borough; the working men were getting emancipated from the so-called Liberalism of the present day—(cheers) — which was down-right terrorism in disguise, whilst Conservatism was endeavour- ing to preserve that which was good and build it up for the benefit of the masses (applause). As education advanced so he believed the masses would inbibe con- stitutieual principles, and would not be led away by the hollow cries of the Liberals (applause). The so-called Reformers demand equality why if they attempted that kind of thing chaos would reign supreme (applause). It could not be effected. He then, in severe terms, denounced the attempt to set class against class, workmen against ■ < masters, and pointed to the terrible effects that had resulted from this, such as stagnation in trade and tiade going to foreign parts.—The motion was carried with acclamation. Dr Tumour said, after the able and eloquent way the proposal had been brought foward and the cordiality of its i reception, it would bo ungracious of him if he carried out the feeling that prevailed when he entered that room. It had been his intention to ask them to accept his resignation (no, no). Professional duties prevented his devotmg that time to the cause that his inclinations desired. But a& it was their wish, he would continue in office. He complimented Mr Denman on the earnest and eloquent address he delivered, which was worthy of a larger room than that; and then assured them that when a struggle came he should be ready to work as he had done in the pat, and hoped that at the next election the Hon. George Kenyon would be carried triumphantly (applause). Had all the promises been kept at the late election Mr Kenyon would have been returned at the head of thd pl111, but he trusted that that result wouid be brought about yet (applause). Mr Yorke, Dyffryn Alu, said it was so long s'cce he addressed them that he felt like the proverbial fish out of water. It was two years since they had had a meet ng, so he spoae to his kenJ, Major Ffoulkes, who referred him to it.r Charles Mainwaring, who^vrote him a note and now he would let out the secret (laughter), which note was as follows:—" Simple meetings and set speeches don't go down (loud laughter); and the bjst of the joke was he sent that written on the back of a receipt for growing turnips, which the speaker read amidst: rears of laughter. As it was clear from Mr M. that simple meetings would not do, they would, if there was a Radical present, cull that a compound meeting (laugh ter). lie then proceeded, in humourous style, to rebut the charge lately made by a county magistrate" tha: the Llansannan people were a lawless set" (hughter). As to the object of the meeting, he humorously remarked that they had good leaders and others coming to the front, such as Mr C. Mainwaring, who was a chin of the old block, and if he trod in his father's footsteps, they would have nothing to complain cf. He thought they ought to meet there every year to talk over Con- stitutional matters. He pointed to the peculiar compo- sition of the House of Commons, and remarked if Con- servatives and Liberals were even m the House, then the country would be ruled by Home Rulers. In Denbigh they ought to be earnest, for here the last battle was lost, not at Wrexham or Hoit, but at Denbigh. Mr Edwards And Ruthin. Mr Yorke next alluded to the catechism" that caused the dispute elsewhere reported. Mr York (Vale-street) proposed that the meetings be held quarterly, which was carried. Addresses having been delivered by several members, Dr. Tumour proposed a vote of thanks to the chair- man. From the experience of a great number of years now he could say that Mr Mainwaring always had the Conservative cause at heart (cheers). Although he d.d not now represent them in Parliament, yet they could not forget with what ability and wisdom he once repre- sented them, and it was a sorry day for the borough when Le was turned out (hear, hear). No doubt he now enjoyed his quietude, and he was still of great use to the Conservative party. He proposed a vote of thanks to him (applause). Mr Copner Edwards had pleasure in seconding that resolution. He was glad to cease from strife with his old fnend Dr. Tumour, and meet him on common ground (cheers). Mr Mainwaring replied. The proceedings then terminated.
