Still a large allowance must be made for him, on account not only of defective discip:ine, but the physical weakness of the men who ordinarily make up the mass of the Mexican armies. It would be no easy matter for the ablest general in Europe to make anything of an army and an ordnance so undisciplined and defective as the Mexican is said to be. Those who turn up their noses at Santa Anna ought t o rea d the description which Mr. Thompson, formerly Ambassador of the United States at Mexico, has given of the military system that prevails there : " The soldiers of the Mexican army," says Mr. Thomp son, "are generally collected by sending out recruiting detachments into the mountains, where they hunt the Indians in their dens and caverns, and bring them in chains to Mexico. There is scarcely a-day that drores of these miserable and more than half-naked wretches are not seen thus chained together and marching through the streets to the barracks, where they are scoured and then dressed in an uniform made of linen cloth, or of serge, and are occasionally drilled, which drilling mainly consists in teaching them to march in column through the streets. As to the wheelings of well-trained troops, or the prompt and exact execution of other evo lutions, th e y k now noth i ng a b out them. There s not one in ten cf these soldiers who has ever seen a gun, nor one in a hundred who has ever fired one, before he was brought into the barracks! Their arms, too, are gene rally worthless English muskets, which have been con demned and thrown aside, and are purchased for almost nothing, and sold to the Mexican Government. Their powder, too, is equally bad; in the last battle between Santa Anna and Bustarnente, which lasted the whole day, not one cannon-ball in a thousand reached the enemy—they generally f e ll a b out half-way between the opposing armies." Truly, if this description by the United States' Am bassador be accurate, and we have no doubt that it is, the renown of Generals Taylor and Scott has been cheaply earned. Of course, if the materiel of Santa Anna's present force be not of a totally different class, we would have no hopes of his success. But we think it likely that he has endeavoured, to the best of his ability, to replace these imbecile Indians by mea of Spanish blood. The urgency of their own peril may have animated many of the latter to join the ranks. Community and extremity of danger may impart for a brief while unity to the councils and energy to the resolutions and the acts of the Mexican generals. And in that case the invaders may encounter an opposition which nothing in their past experience will have prepared them to expect. Even if they could succeed in entering Mexico, they might find themselves hemmed in, and their supplies cut off, in a way which would make their victory cost them dear. Nor must it be forgotten that Mexico de pends for sustenance, to an extent that perhaps no other city in the world does, on supplies brought from a great distance. Almost everything that it consumes in the way of food or luxury is brought on the backs of mules or asses, or half-naked Indians (never in carts or waggons), from a distance of forty miles and upwards. Benign as the climate of the capital is, it is obvious that Moscow itself, and the horrors of a Russian winter, did not offer a greater facility of isolating a hostile army, and leaving it to famine to annihilate it. The Mexicans may not, indeed, have the resolution to burn their beautiful city. But even without resorting to that extremity, it would require but a moderate exertion of foresight on the part of their rulers, and self-devotion on their own, to make the United States rue the day that ever they allowed the ambition of their once-idolised President to involve them in so unjustifiable and so profitless a war. With all his faults, Santa Anna is a man of great capacity, and of a fiery spirit when put upon his mettle. If it be true that all negotia tions for peace are at an end, we should think it quite within the limits of probability that the Mexican Pre sident may yet redeem both his own and his country's character. The return of Paredes has naturally created a great sensation in the States. The most probable result of his reappearance on the scene of war will be to put it entirely out of Santa Anna's power to realise any of those pacific intentions which of late he has been reported to entertain. And should Paredes, as appears not impossible, reach Mexico before the fate of that city is decided, the chances of its successful resistance will be considerably im proved. He and Santa Anna may perhaps agree to waive their quarrels for a time, and uniting their energies and their influence they might obtain a success which neither of them singly could hope for. The Washington U n i on a t tac k s t h e cap t ain of the British steamer from which Paredes landed, as luving violated the neutrality of this country by introducing "so decided an enemy into their ports, and w ith ou t acqua i nt i ng them with his character." But it really does not appear that the captain knew, or any one on board knew, who Paredes was. He talk e d ver y f ree ly of Mexican affairs, as any one else might have done. The hearty abuse of Santa Anna, in which he is said to have indulged, might have rather led the captain to look upon him as a friend, and not an enemy, to the United States. As to the imputations in which some of the American papers have indulged against the English:Government, because Paredes was per " • •• bl y preposterous. England is a free coun y, and has no system of passports with which to fetter the motions of any man of any country who chooses to visit her shores or to leave them. As for Paredes, if he carries with him the germs of any European in trigues, it is in the Tuileries, or the Rue de Courcelles, that they were concocted. Christina had some time ago, and perhaps has still, the notion that it would be possible to establish the Munoz dynasty on the throne of Mexico. The expedition to the Equador, which England nipped in the bud, was intended merely as a stepping-stone to a more extensive dominion in the western hemisphere. How powerfully this dynastic mania rages in the bosoms of even the most degenerate branches of the house of Bourbon ! RESTORATION OF WESTMINSTER AIIBEY.—It has often been a matter of surprise to me, that while nearly all our fine old cathedrals have undergone, or are under going, a process of restoration, Westminster Abbey should still remain in such a deplorable state. However, I trust that under the auspices of the present eminent Dean, we may hope for better things, and more par ticularly as such extensive improvements are in con templation in the neighbourhood of the Abbey.—A suitable building in the neighbourhood of or adjoining the Abbey should be erected for the reception of the greater portion of the monuments. The stone columns, which are in a wretched crumbling state, should be replaced, and at the same time the iron bars at the springings of the arches might be removed. I would remodel the two existing towers, and complete the third, which was commenced by Sir Christopher ; and the whole pile of building should undergo a process of restoration in the most substantial manner. If the matter is taken up vigorously and energetically, there is not the slightest doubt but that the requisite funds would be forthcoming. The Government of course ought to bear a portion of the expense, and if all our * architectural, antiquarian, and archmological associations, metropolitan and provincial, will come forward n with their share of the expenses, not only as societies, but individually, and if the Dean and Chapter will open their purse-strings, there will soon be enough and to spare of the " wherewith." As a worthy consummation to the restoration, I would admit the public free of charge.—Correspondent of The Builder.

Captain Richards was next examined, but he could say no more than that his manuscript had (Use' ppeared in his absence. Other witnesses were called, but.• as no particle of their evidence affected the prisoner, the King's Advocate- General abandoned the pros( ,cation, and Madame Desroches was discharged.

(Abridged from the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald.) Our readers have been informed that Wednesday last was set apart at Ruthin, to commemorate the election of Mr. Williams, of Brynwylfa, as represen tative of the town of Macclesfield. On arriving at Ruthin from St. Asaph, on the morning of Wednesday last, we were joined by several carriages containing visitors from Rhyl, Denbigh, Holywell, St. Asaph, Abergele, and other places, the determination to do honour to Mr. Williams, as the man of the people, being widely diffused and en thusiastic. Several triumphal arches, of laurels and other ever greens, interspersed with flowers, ribbons, &c., and crowned with massy bouquets, from which flags and banners were suspended, spanned the main street, many of which bore the Welsh motto of Mr. Williams, of which the following is a translation : " A free world and the mountain for me." On first entering the town, a stranger would have been struck by indications of holiday on a large and unusual scale. Pink rosettes and ribbons, the election colour of Mr. Williams, were to be seen in every di rection. The shops were closed. A maypole bearing near its summit a pair of new shoes, a new hat, and a leg of mutton, was erected in the market-place. Bands were playing on the Rhyl and the Chester coaches, which kept parading the streets, and a most inveterate determination to enjoy a happy day was as obvious in the face of every one as the good humour of the " skyey influences" was to be seen and felt around. In fact, the day could not have been better suited to the holiday. It was understood that at about four o'clock the Town Council would present an address to Mr. Wil liams, declaratory of their attachment and respect ; and that, subsequently, two public dinners, in honour of that gentleman, would be served up at the County and Town-halls respectively ; but the tradesmen of the town, knowing that these banquets would be in accessible to the less favoured classes of the people, kindly made a purse, a very liberal purse—in order to provide popular entertainments, in the interim, for their poorer neighbours; and we must say that we never witnessed rural sports conducted with better spirit. But the maypole was the centre of attraction, and deservedly so. The prizes it offered were ably con tested, and caused the exhibition of immense muscu lar strength, combined with activity and skill. It was now near three o'clock, and preparations were being made by the committee to arrange a pro cession to meet Mr. Williams and friends on their route from Bronwylfa, when that gentleman unex pectedly arrived in the vicinity. The Honourable Member, accompanied by Mr. Williams and a party of friends, arrived in an open carriage, and gracefully acknowledged the greetings of his fellow-townsmen. His arrival at the hotel was announced by the ascent of a fire balloon. About four o'clock the Honourable Member for Macclesfield, John Williams, Esq., of Brynwylfa, was waited upon, at the Lion Hotel, by the Mayor of the Borough, Chapman, Esq., the Aldermen and Town Council, Archdeacon Newcombe, several of the clergy, and a number of personal friends, among whom were his proposer and seconder, when an address was read and presented to him by his worship e on behalf of the meeting, preceded by a few prefatory remarks declara tive of the great pleasure he (Mr. Chapman) felt in being called upon to present it, and his most cordial approbation of the sentiments of regard and esteem which it embodies. The address was as follows : TO JOHN WILLIAMS, ESQUIRE, MEMBER OF PARLIA MENT FOR MACCLESFIELD. " We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Ruthin, in the county of Denbigh, in general council assembled at the Council Chamber, Town-hall, Ruthin, on Wednesday, the Bth day of September, 1847, most frankly offer you our sincere and cordial congratulations on the recent auspicious event, which has afforded us the pleasing opportunity of addressing you upon the present occasion, and of expressing our united sentiments, that with feelings of uniningled pleasure and delight, we hail and wel come your arrival amcng us this day, and heartily greet you as a friend, a townsman, and a truly pa triotic Welshman. Your generous acts of liberality, your uniform kindness and urbanity of manners, your untiring efforts to relieve those distressed and destitute fellow-countrymen who resorted to you in the season of trouble and affliction, are strong and characteristic features of your amiable disposition, and justly claim our admiration. We may well congratulate ourselves that we have the valuable blessing of living under the benign sway of the British sceptre, in the full enjoyment of a free and glorious Constitution in Church and State; in which the various avenues leading to the brightest honours and choicest distinctions are equally open to all. In this matchless constitution the humble citizen of an unsullied character is enabled, by the exercise of his own natural talents, unwearied as siduity, and untiring perseverance, to attain the highest and proudest objects of his laudable ambition. That such is the case, your present honourable posi tion, sir, as a Member of the British Senate, affords a powerful and striking demonstration. In conclusion, we add our fervent prayers and affectionate wishes that the blessing of Divine Pro vidence may attend your labours, strengthen your hands, and long preserve your life in the enjoyment of health and happiness. Given under the Common Seal of the said Bo rough, the Bth of September, 1847." Mr. WILLIAMS, in a feeling and impressive manner, delivered the following reply : Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses,—You will not expect that I should attempt to give utterance to my feelings, on the receipt of this, your kind and flattering address. I feel as a Welshman the cordial reception you have given me, but I am not so eloquent as to give those feelings words. Accept my thanks, and allow me to express my gratitude to Almighty God, that my conduct, during so many years of absence, has now received the approbation of my fellow•townsmen. He has never permitted me to forget that I am a Welshman ; and when he has enabled me to render any service to a Welshman, I have been thankful. There is not among you, one who admires the principles of the British Constitu tion more than I do. I will endeavour to prove my attachment to it, by removing every obstacle to its unfettered action, and adapting its principles to the present state of our improved circumstances. I shall thereby aid in rendering it more available to indivi dual advancement; and cause it to give more security to the pro-perity of every rank and class. I thank you for your affectionate wishes, and for your fervent prayer. I believe that the blessing of Divine Pro vidence can alone enable me to be useful in that state of life to which he has called me; I rely on his aid; and while I am especially required to watch over the interests of an English town, my native town, and the principality, shall never be forgotten by me. Permit me before I sit down to implore the blessing of Almighty God on all you my friends, and to assure you that this token of your friendship is en graven on my heart, and will ever stimulate me to pursue that course which has now met with your approval. Again, my friends and fellow-townsmen, I thank you, and God bless you all. During the thirty years that I have been absent from Wales I have never lost sight of its interests, its well-being has been near my heart, and may I cease to live when ever I cease to remember my native land. The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers. Immediately after the presentation of the address Mr. Williams was escorted by the Mayor, the mem bers of the Town Council, and a considerable number of his friends and well-wishers, to the County Hall, the whole interior of which, including the table adbawniqt h banquet boxes, a sumptuous s p r e usually dev o t e d t o l aw purposes, and even the adja cent et t , he pr m ep u a lt r i e f d ari u o u u d s er mate rialtheosuperintendence of the Messrs. Smart. Two hun dred and twenty tickets were returned at table, but the guests considerably exceeded that amount, as several persons paid cash in lieu of taking tickets. repast The number of th ose w h o s h ared in the is estimated at two hu n d re d an d fi fty. A liberal su ply of venison had be en sen t b y L ords Dinorben and Mostyn, Myddleton Biddulph,:E sq• , and we b e li eve some other local gentry, an d the repast was done ample justice to by all the guests. The Mayor presided. At his right sat the distin guished guest of the meeting, John Williams, Esq., M.P. Archdeacon Newcombe supported th e Chair man on the left, and in immediate proximity on either side were the mover and seconder of Mr. Williams, when he offered himself as a candidate for Macclesfield, Messrs. Potts and Woodward, together with Dr. Lloyd, Dr. Bland, Captain Cogan, and several clergymen of the Establishment. The duties of the Vice-Chair were ably sustained by the Clerk of the Peace, Joseph Peers, Esq., sup ported on his right by Mr. J ones, Record-street, and on his left by other zealous friends of the honourable guest. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast which so constantly evinces the loyal feeling that animates the festive board in Britain, observed that in no part of her Majesty's dominions was she more beloved and respected than in Wales. The toast, as were all the loyal and personal tri butes of the evening, was drank with enthusiasm. " His Royal Highness Prince Albert." " Our own beloved Prince : and may he be spared by a benignant Providence to realise the wishes of his parents, and to become the brightest gem in the British crown." " The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family." Mr. 'WILLIAMS here noticed at the lower end of the table a blind and aged relative (uncle, we believe), Mr. John Evans, w h om h e i mme di ate l y led to the seat beside himself, amidst the deafening cheers of the meeting ; who r ecogn i se d w i t h rea d y s ympathy the kind heart of th e i r guest —a h eart, we verily be lieve, alike incapabl e o f b e i ng h ar d ene d b y pros perity or of being subdued b y a d vers i ty. I t i s nee dl ess to say that Mr. Evan s ' persona l wants an d com f or t s were sedulously ministered to by his younger relative during the entire evening. Another peal of deafening cheers attracted our at tention to the fact that Mrs. Williams, accompanied by a long and lovely train of the fair dames and girls of Ruthin and Macclesfield, had entered the hall from the judge's door, and possessed themselves of the entire range of gallery, forming an array of grace and beauty that deeply enhanced the interest of the scene. The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN, and honoured by the company, was the "Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, with the health of the Vene rable Archdeacon Newcombe." The ARCHDEACON returned thanks on behalf of the bishop, the clergy, and himself. With respect to their honourable guest, the Member for Maccles field, he felt assured that all the honour which had been conferred on him was fully deserved.—(Loud cheers.) His charity, his benevolence, were well known, and had been for many years. It was now thirty years since he left the town, but his visits were so frequent that he (Mr. Newcombe) still looked upon him as a parishioner; and was sure to see him, on those occasions, in that place where he liked to see him best.—(Renewed cheers.) It was pleasing to see Ruthin and Macc:esfield thus shaking hands as it were in approbation and respect towards the gentleman who now honoured the meeting as their guest.—(Loud cheers.) "The Duke of Wellington and the Army." "The Wooden Walls of Old &gland." Captain HARKER, in brief bu: appropriatesterms, returned thanks on behalf of the army. Captain COGAN did the same oa behalf of the other service. In rising to propose the toast of the evening, the CHAIRMAN entreated their indulgence, as h e f e l t hi s inadequacy ghave duty that d evo l ve d upon That been pl ace d i n b etter him. to the s p h l o e ul s d in hands ; but he would yield to no one in willingness to perform it. Unbroken as had been the harmony of the day's proceedings, and zealous as had been the friendship universally evinced, he would yield to no one in attachment and respect for the guest whose well directed and well sustained ambition had been rewarded by a seat in the House of Commons.— (Tremendous cheers.) His election was the result of that liberty which was the great boast and charac teristic of our country. In tussla a man was at liberty to think but net to speak, else he might soon find himself in Siberia, a homeless miserable exile. A slave had held the cap of liberty as the banner of ano ther state ; but in highly favoured Britain, liberty was something more than a name. It was a fact, a reality, and an important one ; one conducive alike to the alvantage of the individual, the well-being of the community, and the happiness of all. A man had full liberty to use all his powers, natural and acquired, for his own advantage, and for the advantage of his coun try. The Church, the Army, the Navy, the profes sions of law and medicine, the schools of art and science, the arena of literature, the business of a mer chant, or the craft of an artisan, were equally open to him, according to his ability and inclination. His piety, his learning, his courage, his taste, his energy, his perseverance would determine the result. , The loftiest aims of his ambition were withi n his reach, unless placed beyond his reach by causes over which human institutions could have no control. All that constitutional liberty could secure was secured to the subjects of these realms.—(Renewed cheers.) He did not make these remarks as a mere generality. That would be idle. They had a striking applica tion in the case of their honoured guest—(lmmense cheers)—but when he (the Chairman) began to apply them to that case, he ,also began to find that words were wanting t o hi m . 116 heart was too full, and language did not present itself adequate to the ex pression of that fulness. He must leave them to make the application.—(Renewed cheers.) He should content himself by observing that a man can, in this happy country select his own path; and if a little boy who happened to stand behind a counter was too small to be seen by the customers, he was at liberty to use a stool ; and if he aspired after some unknown benefit that change of scene night produce he was at liberty to seek his fortune in London. The eloquent speaker then drew a pleasing picture of the progress which Mr. Williams had really made, from a boy, such as described, to a gentleman holding a high position in society, and able to fulfil his juvenile wish, by returning to his native town in his own car riage. As a brother, a son , a patriot, and a friend, his career had been more than blameless, it had been truly praiseworthy, and the electors of Macclesfield, when he made use of his liberty to solicit their seat, had made use of their liberty in conferring' that seat on him. Politics, gentlemen, said the speaker, are excluded from this meeting, else could I show that the electors of Macclesfield have bestowed the honour of their choice on a good man, and have elected a high minded, a respectable, and a truly responsible senator, fit to represent the interests of their borough in the legislative assembly of the first and most mighty nation of the earth. I beg, sir (turning to Mr. Williams), to express to you, on behalf of this most numerous and most respectable assemblage, how glad we all are to see you here this day—(Loud cheers) — and we all express through me an ardent hope that your life may long be spared to represent in Parlia ment the interests of the town of Macclesfield.— (Cheers enthusiastic and long sustained.) Mr. WILLIAMS, M P., rose amidst loud cheers, to acknowledge the kind reception given to him by the meeting. He said that in him it would be great affectation to say that he was unaccustomed to public speaking, for, during the last three months, he had had considerable practice and experience, of which he should avail himself if ever the exigencies of public business should require it ; but if his kind friends, Captain Cogan and the Mayor, had felt that flow of feeling which overpowered expression, how much more strongly must he feel the inability of language to express the grateful emotions to which their kind ness had given birth ? No man could feel more truly proud of the position in which he stood than he did that day. A monarch could not feel more confident and assured in his position, for whilst he possessed the generous confidence of his constituency, his heart had lost none of that regard which every right minded man must feel for his native country.—(Loud cheers.) It was thirty years since he had left the corner shop, into which he entered at an age so early that he was obliged to stand on a stool in order to be useful to the customers. How would Mr. David Jones, his then patron, participate in the joy he now felt, had he been spared! lie now saw around him the companions of those early days; and his heart rejoiced that they should so cordially wel come him in his expanded sphere of duties and re sponsibilities as the representative of one of the most intellectual of the constituencies of England. how could he discharge the debt of gratitude he owed them ? Thirty years ago he had left Ruthin, a poor boy vibrat;ng between hopes and fears, but deter mined to visit London in order to do something for his mother.—(Loud cheers.) It was to the truthful ness and energy of that feeling that he attributed his subsequent prosperity. The sentiment of g r a tit u d e to his parent had influenced his prayers ; and under that influence, night and morning, he had determined to become valuable to his employer, that he might be useful to his mother. Providence had blessed his humble but sincere endeavours, and it was the proudest moment of his life when he found himself _ able to contribute aid to his parent. Had she been spared, she would have gloried in this day ; for in one of her latest benedictions she had said, placing her hand on his head, " God bless you, for no mother has had a better boy."— (Cheers.) He was far from ashamed at referring to these facts, for they tended to act beneficially as an example. Some persons, indeed, had objected to him at Macclesfield, because he had sold silks behind a counter, but' he had plainly told them that it was no disgrace to be the first of his family, and to have better claims on public confidence than the merits of ancestry.—(Enthusiastic cheers.) his position, as a merchant, gave him an opportunity of benefiting his countrymen in London. He had done many of them good, and should always be happy to do so, for there were amongst them men capable of discharging the duties of any station in society. Political honesty and moral worth were not the creatures of place. They flourished alike in the land of the mountain and vale, and the cr ow d e d s t ree t s of Lon€on. There was no disgrace in being a mer chant; to merchants the great city had been indebted for the Royal Exchange and for the New River ; nor was there any inferiority in ,the Welsh people, as Sir William Jones, and many other Cambrians, in their vast stores of literature, science, and art, could testify.—(Continued cheers) The breed of good and able men was not exhausted—others were in embryo—for the old saying was true that " there is yet in the sea as good fish as ever were caught." The Queen had Welsh blood in her veins, and the portion derived from Owen Tudor was as bright as the stream that came from her Norman and Saxon sires —(Immense cheering)—and it was to be hoped that she would allow the Prince to learn some thing of the language of the land whence he derived his title.—(Renewed cheers.) He had said that he did not feel ashamed to refer to the lowliness of his lot ; neither did he make it a theme for boasting ; but he thought that his friends, and they were all his friends and the companions of his youth, would admit that a case where simple honesty and straightforward ness had been marked with success, would operate beneficially upon the young. It was with that view that he chiefly referred to the past. For himself he felt grateful, and wished to commit them all to the blessing of Him who had favoured his own individual endeavours.—(The Honourable Member sat down amidst loud cheers, and shortly afterwards retired to address a few words to the other party of his friends who were dining in the Town-hall.) The CHAIRMAN then gave consecutively—" The Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Colonel Biddulph ;" " The Members for the county ; ' and " The Member for the boroughs ;" all of which were drank with enthusiasm. Next followed " The Town and Trade of Maccles field," with thanks to the gentlemen of that town who have honoured the meeting with their at tendance. Mr. POTTS returned thanks. He expressed his hearty approbation of the appropriate and elegant ad dress with which Mr. Williams had been presented by the civic authorities of the town, and said that he felt as much emotion on its being presented as he could have done had he been the recipient—a feeling in which he had no doubt his friends from Macclesfield concurred.—(Tokens of assent.) He thought with Mr. Williams, that the fact of a poor lad having worked his way from the counter to the senate was not a thing to be ashamed of, but calculated to cheer the young and operate as an example. He felt h o e f r c a s c n a l s o e t s p fi a r e o n l u d o d b ; nobler n f M e d l To t . h w l e l y ; i o ll e b a l e rn t s f s o u a u r s n e d t htihenya that e i t knew of him the more they would admire him. d he ow i Tn nore they He felt proud of having had to propose him to the constituency, and was never better pleased nor better rewarded. The whole town took to him at once: and if any of the electors were lukewarm they were brought up to the mark by the ladies.— (Loud cheers). The election was effected on the teetotal principle, and their motto was " Work and win." They did win by a majority of 72, although the other party had had the advantage of a previous canvass.---(Loud cheers). Three extra rounds of cheers were then proposed for, and given to, the ladies of Macclesfield. Dr. BLAND, of Macclesfield, returned thanks on their behalf. " The Lady of the Manor, Miss Myddleton." "That venerable and aged nobleman, whose virtues were so well known to them, the Hon. Lord Bagot." Mr. WILLIAMS begged to propose the next toast. It was happy for them all that they did not live in Russia, where that freedom which could no t b e t a k en from thought was denied to utterance. It was well for them that they lived within the pale of a constitu tion so expansive in itself that it could effect much good without any organic changes. One of the great advantages of that constitution was that the governing power was not entirely centralized, but diffused in proper proportions and modes throughout the social fabric. Of this fact corporate bodies af forded a valuable proof ; and in proposing the health of the chief magistrate of the town he should fill a bumper with pleasure. Few have done more good to the locality than he, and none are deserving of more honour. To him they were mainly indebted for all the local improvements that had been effected, and those connected with their market-place were peculiarly important. It was much to be regretted that he had it in contemplation to leave them, but it was to be hoped they would yet have more of his company. He (Mr. Williams) had never received aught but courtesy and hospitality at his hands, and valued and esteemed him highly.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN feelingly, and in appropriate terms, responded to the kindness they had shown him. Several other toasts, including the health of Mrs. Williams, having been drunk. Mr. LODGE (St. Asaph) called the attention of the meeting,/ during Mr. Williams' temporary absence, to a fact of which he was indi v idually cogn i san t, an d which proved that the general observations which the Archdeacon, the Chairman, and others had made with respect to Mr. Williams' kindness to his poor fellow countrymen were not exaggerated, or without ade quate foundation. His mother was left a widow in circumstances of much distress, especially as she had children unprovided for ; but his poor brother had found that there was a friend to the fatherless in a quarter where he could prefer no claim either on the ground of service, consanguinity, or any other conceivable tie—save that of mere human brotherhood and feeling for a fellow. countryman. There were others that might have deemed it a duty to aid the dying man ; but there were feelings more kind and generous and prompt than those of duty, and such feelings had prompted Mr. Williams to be friend him, who had no father and no friends. He procured him a situation ; and he (the speaker) would be less than a man if he had not availed himself of the present occasion to acknowledge the gratitude he and his family felt for so marked a kindness.—(Cheers). Mr. WILLIAMS proposed the health of a gentleman who for seven years had added greatly to the con vivial enjoyments of the town, and contributed largely to its advantages ; one whose amiable manners had won him many friends, and whose moral courage rendered him a most useful member of society. He proposed the health of "John Maurice, Esq." He had in him a combination of talents and qualities that would greatly benefit the town. As a friend to the education of the people he tended to advance the character of all ; for the prestige of education did not rest with the emigrant but returned back to the country of his birth. If those who leave Wales are uneducated, all Welshmen are regarded as necessarily uninformed. They, therefore, added to the reputation of their country when they gave to the poor the ad vantages of education. (Tile health of Mr. Maurice was honoured with deafening rounds of cheers.) Mr. J. MAURICE, in returning thanks, said— I thank you very much, sir, for the honour you do me in proposing my health, and gentlemen around you that they so kindly respond to the toast, though I need no such assurance of kindnEss at the hands of my Welsh friends, who, I am delighted to see, have to-day put aside the common cares of life, and have met together in gladness to congratulate a fellow townsman on the honour to which he has attained. You are here, I say, gentlemen, for no expression of political sentiment, but to mark with pleasure, aye, and with profit too, the cause of one who left you in early life to fight the world's hard fight ; and you may well rejoice that he, who but a few years since, went out from amongst you to mingle with countless thousands in the greatest city of the universe, hath so stood out from the crowd that he this day returns to your arms the selected of Macclesfield. I envy not the mind whose political biases deny it this pleasure. My respect for the Honourable Gen . tleman rests not on the fact that he is the Member for Macclesfield ; that circumstance raises him not one iota in my esteem, which is simply founded on the character that has won for him the honourable distinction of his laudable ambition. And if I know anything of the good people of Ruthin, and I think I do know something of them, this joy is not in the honour conferred on the man, but that the cha racter of their fellow-townsman hath won for him the honour. They love more to trace him in his early course than in the consummation of his wishes, for they remember how when far away his heart was in the land of his fathers, and they prize more the filial solicitude that when wrung from his necessities, that giving of what the giver needed for himself, than all the gifts of his subsequently acquired wealth. Gen tleman, Mr. Williams stands before you on his own fame of he ancestors.fuon dsn o i e t e be t l o o n g y s o our g e h s t t f e u e l m i y at his alliance with that brotherhood, and valuable on to the great fraternity of working men, and he shames not e and valued indeed is the constitution which is open to such, and which makes the past character of the man its surety for the future.—(Cheers.) Sir, it is no unmeaning compliment that we this day pay to the Hon. Gentleman, and we desire that the rumour of it may go forth through the width and the breadth of this land—a beacon to light —an example to cheer all whom narrow circumstances may here after compel to quit the confines of their native land, seeking fortunes in richer soils, that they may know that there ever remains for the sons of Cambria, who are worthy of it, honour in the land of their fathers. With the sincere desire that the fruits of to-day may thus profit, and with my best wishes for the future welfare of the Hon. Gentleman, I again thank you for the honour you have done me.

TIMES.—It must have been long evident to at tentive observers of Italian politics that the current of events in that country would not wait for the im pending adjustment of our diplomatic relations with the Court of Rome, but that circumstances would compel us to anticipate, in some fashion, the obvious decision of so important a question. The wisdom of our ancestors had bequeathed us a position of consi derable embarrassment, and some little delicacy was requisite to reconcile the necessities of the case with the proscription of the law ; but our readers will probably be of opinion that by the arrangements we now announce, her Majesty's Ministers have contrived rather happily to escape the dilemma in which the imperative demands of policy and the inevitable penal ties of a preemunire had conspired to place them. The Earl of Minto, who is now on his road to Turin, will extend his tour to Rome, and, though not accredited by any official introduction, or invested with any formal representative character, will be enabled by his presence at the Pontifical Court to facilitate the circuitous inter course between two states which have so sensibly persisted in blocking up the ordinary channels of a necessary communication. The position and con nexions of his Lordship will be an immediate and sufficient guarantee of his responsibility, and will confer upon him much of that authority which it is as yet forbidden more directly to delegate, while his known qualifications for such a mission supply a complete assurance that the interests and honour of England will be safe in his hands. In this way it is expected that Ministers may be enabled to commu nicate with a friendly state at a very critical pesiod of its fortunes, without rendering themselves liable to the accumulated penalties which our ingenious ancestors devised for treason. As soon as Par liament meets the letter of the law may be brought into accordance with the spirit of the age, and, after we have graciously recognised the poli tical existence of a power which at present com— mands the earnest and practical sympathies of half the population of the island, Lord Minto may be boldly invested with a title befitting the functions he must necessarily discharge. The extremities to which two Governments of Europe have been reduced in their attempts to establish some communication with each other are highly instructive, and will not be lost sight of, we hope, by those who occasionally advocate th e re t en ti on f obsolete and impracticable statutes as the safest course for a Le gislature to pursue. The diplomatic intercourse be tween England and Rome is managed after a fashion very much resembling the commercial intercourse between Holland and Japan. The real character of an honest and necessary transaction is cloaked by some barbarous and clumsy fiction, and the negotia tions of two independent Powers are conducted with the clandestine tricks of a contraband and discredit able traffic. We resolutely persist in theoretically ig noring a Government, in the success and well-doing of which we practically confess the highest interest. In every point of view, except the most imp or t an t o f all, the relation s of '.ngland and Rome have been settled long ago. There remains no principle what ever for discussion, and but little room for informa tion and enlightenment. There are scarcely two opinions of Pius IX. and his policy, and yet, in those decrees which presumptuously embody the conclu sions and express the wisdom of a nation, we proclaim him to be a formidable and ferocious potentate, who stunts our growth, and menaces our existence by attainting the national blood, and who must be shunned by all people who would keep their inde pendence secure from his subtle and insidious ap proaches. This is not the only instance in which the contradiction between our opinions and expressions has been recently exposed, but the shifts to which we have been actually driven by the practical conflict be tween necessity and law have certainly displayed such policy in a light more than usually conspicuous. It would have been a curious ie.sesset patched a fleet to the succour of a monarch to whom we dared not send an ambassador. The truth is, that there is hardly a single Court of Europe with which it is of greater importance that we should be in regular and legitimate communication than this. The Pontifical dominions promise to be the birthplace of that enlightened and liberal policy which is to re trieve the long degradation of the Italian Peninsula, and which it is the interest of all philanthropists to promote. Nor is the influence of their Sovereign confined to his own territories. As the spiritual head of a vast number of British subjects, he exer cises a certain controlling power within these realms which it might indeed be thought very desirable to transfer to more amenable hands, but which it is the height of childishness to ignore. The influence, such as it is, actually exists, not in force sufficient, as ex perience has often proved, to be weighed for a mo ment against the suggestions of loyalty or patriotism, but with quite enough reality to deserve attention. And yet, for the sake of a statute already condemned by the conclusions of sense and reason, we have been contented to forego all the benefit which might be de rived from amicable relations with a Sovereign whose voice on certain points would be respectfully listened to by some millions of British subjects. It would have been rather more creditable to us if we had revised our obsolete ordinances before we had been driven to the measure by sheer force of circumstances, and, certainly, the sooner we terminate the present expo sure of our predicament the better it will be for our reputation. In the eyes of Europe we are practi cally convicted of retaining an interdict against a measure which we nevertheless confess to be abso lutely necessary, and the demands of national policy are only satisfied by the arts of equivocation and evasion. 'We had the option of preserving our pre judices or promoting our interests, and might have very consistently adopted either line of conduct, but the difficulty of reconciling the two has just been unpleasantly ascertained. As we have preferred, however, the more sensible course, no time should be lost in candidly confessing our convictions and openly recording our decision, nor is there much ground for apprehension that the Court of Rome will be backward in meeting overtures of such a friendly spirit by a reciprocal obliteration of discreditable and pernicious memorials. CHRONICLE.—The tantalizing freaks which chance and rumour play with us, remote spectators of the vicissitudes of the Mexican war, we can compare to nothing so readily as to the trials to which Dickens puts the curiosity of his readers during the inter mitted publication of one of his novels. Neither with one nor with the other of the great purveyors of public excitement can we feel sure of ourselves for a moment. 'We never know where we are, or what we are next to expect. Our most sagacious conjectures are set at nought by the arrival of a new monthly part, or of a Boston packet. Polk and Pecksniff, Santa Anna and Mr. Pickwick, Paredes and Martin Chuzzlewit, Scott and Newman Noggs, Taylor and Sam Weller, disappoint and surprise us equally, and to and keep us from mouth to month, and from mail mail, in a state of delicious perplexity. How often, as we turn the last page or scan the enigmatical contents of is to bringf a monthly part, some atele graphic dispatch, of whic h the particulars, do we no t summon up our conjec tural fortitude, and swear that neither fate nor Charles Dickens shall baffle us this time. But no ; the next I turn of events finds us as much a t fault as ever, and proves our inability to cope with the caprice, the in consistency, and the disregard of the ordinary rules of human action which prevail alike in the plots of the novelist and in the councils and countermarches of the Mexican belligerents. The advices received by the Cambria are advantageously distinguished from several of their immediate predecessors, by their consisting of something more than mere rumours or fictitious telegraphings, as to the transactions in the scene of war. It would appear to be a positive fact that the first division of General Scott's army left Puebla for Mexico on the 7th of August. The other divisions were under orders for departure on succes sive days, and General Scott himself was to leave with the main body on the 1 1 th. The Mexicans likewise were reported to be in motion. Their chances of a successful resistance to the advance of the invaders may be looked upon as con siderably increased by the arrival of a large body of troops under Valencia. The next mail will in all probability bring us the par ticulars of a desperate battle having been fought at Rio Frio or El P enon. F or now that the nego tiations for peace are broken off, and the war party in the capital is strengthened by the arrival of Valencia and the return of Paredes, we cannot believe that the city of Mexico will b e surren d er ed to the enemy without a sanguinary struggle. Much will depend on the ma teriel of which Santa Anna's force, as recently re cruited and augmented by arrivals from distant guar- PATENT RAMONEUR ASSOCIATION, (Provisionally Registered.)

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breasts of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter ins possibility iu innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. Tide Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, aocording to the small or extended space its which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all lour sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals wit k universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angl, and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that It is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F. Dolman, Esq., 39, Jennyn-street, St James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W.
