TO THE EDITOR OE THE' NORTHERN DAILY TIM S,

Sin,—Termit me to make it publicly'known, through
the medium of your paper, that the use of the Town-
hall has been refused to the Ist Company of' Lancashire
Volunteer Rifles, who. made application for it for the
purposes of a ball, the probeeds of which were intended
to be. given in aid of the Roval Infirmary., The refusal
is most unaccountable, .as the .Mayor . is' at.the present
moment advertising the claims of this charity to public
sympathy, and urging its release from debt.
The volunteer movement is the most popular one"Of
'the day, and is receiving the support of our 'enlightened
countrymen, and headed by 'Her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen and the Prince Consort; surely, then, an
insult ought not to have been offered by our townsmen,
to gentlemen who have voluntarily formed themselves
into a self-supporting corps, .for the defence of their
country. I have the honour to be a volunteer rifleman
-and a burgess : many of my comrades are also burgesses.
'We feel highly indignant at the slight put,npon, us,
and it may be,relied upon, by our representatives in the
Council, that when an opportunity occurs. we shall, as
electors, mark our sense of the conduct pursued towards
us in the present instance. VOLUNTEER.' '•

ELECTION OF ALDERMEN.

TO THIS EIDITORIOI,THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMRS.
• Stn.—Just one: word on the voting of the Town
Council for aldermen.
.Looking over yOnr list of the numbers for , each suc-
eeSsful candidate, I •am surprised to. find. Mr. John
Stewart standing seventh on the role. Yowl if .ever
there was a man who could claim, not only. the respect
:and admiration, but the gratitude of the council and the
town, Mr. Stewart is unquestionably. that gentleman.
With business talents of the highest cider—with an
indefatigability equalled ,by few, and surpassed by none

Stewart's great services will live,in the memory of the
town's wellwishers; when the Gladstones and the
Jefferys have been consigned to the tomb of all the
Caplets.

If virtue has its reward in the memory of the just
and good, so has mediocre and prettious assumption,
and banded jealousy and paltry enmi y, in its execration.
II .Tust 'permit me another word .on 'the fracas in the
first Council meeting. Mr. Parker was unfairly stopped
in his indignant reply to Mr. •Gladstone's most unwar-
ranted, most ungentlemanly, nay, most ruffianly attack on
absent men, his equals in respectability, in mental calibre,
in utility and in integrity. I wish not to-cast an obstacle
in the way of, or-a reflection on, the Official ofiening
duty of our judiciously chcisen and excellent mayor ;
but if it was open to his presidenck to put an extinguisher
on Alderman Parker's vindication, it was surely' AS open
to him to have stopped and rebuked the low and-vulgar
tirade of Mr. Gladstone. Both equity and equality of
privilege demanded what is never refused to an aspersed
individual—the right of reply7-a right more impera-
tively demanded, a fortiori, from the attack having been
made in the absence of the maligned.
There are other matters that challenge comment; but
your short pithy, admonitory 'c' Notice to Correspon-
dents" forbids.

WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMIIR.
SIR,—Of bodies lately picked up, the following par-
ticulars may identify the two in question :
One male person about six feet, a large stout man,
head too much mutilated for recognition, linen trowsers,
blue flannel shirt ; in two portemonnaies 30 sovereigns,
13s. 71, two rings, rather common; piece of foreign silver
coin, possibly Chinese; small clasp; no name on the
clothes. In the pocket, also, a receipt, of which the
following is a copy :ft--" S. S. S. Royal Charter, Oct. 7th,
1859. Mr. Edmund Smith to Joseph H.- Wright ; to 1
king parrot, 3 pair of lowrie parrots, £l2. Value re-
ceived, October 7th, 1859.—Joseph H. Wright, Bur-
geon." This body is at Penrhos Lligwy Church.
The other, a male body, at Llanwenllwyfo Church ; fea-
tures almost gone ; in a portemonnaie in trowsers pocket
were found three Australian sovereigns and 64-d., a printed
sheet with two ballads on it—one headed " William
and Emma," the other headed " The Green Lament."
There was also a small perforafed laced paper, contain-
ing a few printed lines, titled " A Blessing," of which
the subjoined is a copy, and which, if given publicity
to by you, may lead to identification. There were also
two trunk keys, a silver watch-guard, two common
watch-keys, and a very small nugget of gold. Cloth-
ing : Vest and trousers of dark tweed, flannel singlet,
and woven drawers—age, from forty to flfty::=Beheve
me, &c., . H. HUGHES.
Penrhos, Anglesea, Nov. 17, 1859.

A BLESSING.
" May the blessing of God await thee. May the sun
of glory shine around thy bed; aitd may the gates of
plenty, honour, and happiness, be ever open to thee.
May no sorrow distress thy days; may no grief disturb
thy nights. May the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek,
and the pleasures of imagination attend thy dreams ;
and when length of years makes thee tired of earthly
joys, and the curtain of death gently closes around thy
last sleep of human existence' may the Angel of God
attend thy bed, and take care that the expiring lamp of
life shall not: receive one rude blast to hasten on its
extinction."
SCOTLAND WARD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

Sin,—l congratulate the body of Conservatives in
possessing a daily organ of the press to enunciate their
views, and feeling that honest hearts and true in Scot-
land Ward have been slighted and unsupported by the
heads of our party, I doleel inclined to express these
the sentiments of many amongst us. Did every ward
require their own circle of influential representatives,
it would give a different phase; but to-day the whole
skirmish resulting from the late aldermenic battle has
been concentrated here, and haring won before in our
' Conservative reptesentative, why not again ? and here's
the rub. Our opponents have out-generalled• us, and
have been well supported ,throughout—the result is
victory !- and could be nothing else. If our natural allies
ha6l only come to encourage and countenance- their
brethren in this ward, the Council might have had the
opportunit7 of welcoming another consistent Conserva-
tive to tbar ranks, in the person, of that English gen-
tleman—Air. Carne.—Yours,
