Of the inns at Bala, Mr. Hutton says, "although I have often only reposed one night at an inn, yet from agreeable treatment and conversation, I found some regret the next morning at parting; and though I saw the people but once, my mind revolted at the idea of seeing them no more." The town of Bala is governed by two bailiffs, and a common council, and the assizes are held here and at Dolgelly alternately; it is likewise one of the polling places for the county. _Market_ Saturday--_Fairs_, May 14; July 10; Sep. 11 and 22; Oct. 24; and Nov. 8.--_Mail_ arrives 8.0 morning; departs 5.0 afternoon.
