The Reading and Singing l) net, by Mr. P « try and Miss Carew, gave universal delight. Mr. Nicholson's introduction and accom- paniment to the Echo Song was universally admired.

Proceedings of Wednesday, On Wednesday morning, the trumpets, as usual, announced the opening of the EISTEDDFOD, but the • Hall was crowded long before its commencement, and the noble and principal personages were warmly greeted as they took their several stations. The Rev. Walter Davies stated that, according to custom, the subjects for the Premiums for the. En. glynion to be spoken this day had been given out yesterday at the Eisteddfod. The Bards had sent iu their compositions, which had been decided upon; the decision he should now declare ; and the several successful candidates would step forward, and recite their compositions 1. The Castle of Powys and iU Proprietor.— Mr. ROBERT DAVIES, of Narttglyn, the successful author, recite;! his composition. 2 Lady Lucy Clive and her Young Family. Mr. JOHN BLACKWELL, of Berriew, late of Mold, the successful author, recited his composition. 3. The River Severn.-— Mr. EVAN EVANS, the suc- cessful author, recited his composition. The several compositions w. ere much and justly admired, personage is supposed to have contracted a mortal malady, from vexation at seeing tiie dawn of the revival of Welsh Literature at the first Eisteddfod held at Carmarthen io 1839-, and is further presumed to have actually died ofa broken heart when the trumpet opened tbe second Eisteddfod at the same towu in 18* 23. 1. The Premium for the Twelve Englynion on his Life and Character has been adjudged io the writer whose feigned name is Alfred.—[ Mr. WILJJIAM WILLIAMS, of Denbigh ] 2. The Premium for the best Epitaph to be placed on his monument, to he erected on some uncwn- secraied ground (" CheersJ, where four roads met, as a FELO DE SF. ( Cheers ') was formerly treated tvccording to law, has been adjudged to the writer whose feigned name is Afaon.—[ Mr. JOHN JONES ( MyLlin'j, of Llanfyllin.] The Rev. W. DAVIES observed, this brilliant and" crowded assembly, however, have nnwiiti- ngly, by their presence aud support al the Eisteddfod, done more honour to the Dandy after his death, than he ever deserved in his life- time, by attending here as ii were, at the Ail Claddedigaeth ( the sacred Funeral) of Die Sion Dafydd. Mr. Davies's observations, and the reading ofthe composition by the successful candidates, elicited much laughter and applause. THFC DATGKINIAD. Mr. PARRY then called forward the Da* geiniadr or VOCALISTS, who were to sing Pevnillion ( or Welsh epigrammatic stanzas) wiih the Welsh Harp, after the manner of the Ancient Britons, for a SILVER MEDAL, on w hich was a beautiful representation of the Grewian Lyre, adorned with laurel. This con- test was looked to with much interest. To sin^ Pennillion with the Harp is not so easily acconij plished as some may imagine. The singer is obliged to follow the harper,' who may change the turn when he pleases: the harper may also perfornj variations, while the vocalist must keep time, and end precisely with the strain. Those are considered the best singers who can adapt stanzas of vanonj metres to one melody, and who are acquainted witj the twenty- four measures, according to the Bardii laws and rules of composition. The singer does no commence with the strain, but takes it up at tin second or third bar, as best suits the metre of th pennill he intends to sing ; this is Continually don by persons who are totally unacquainted with musi( Eight competitors appeared, viz.

After each had exhibited their skill, Ml P: my, on behalf of tile Judges, said, there was intic doubt in deciding on their claims; for the questio was not merely who sang" best with the Harp; hi the chief merit and difficulty of the performance hi ia the art with which the singer changed the inetrj The four who were deemed the best then saij successively ; and subsequently the two who we considered most superior were called upon fo siij for the Prize; and here a trait of genuine prince and Cambrian feeling that does honour to humij life was exhibited in the grandeur and beauty j true simplicity These two candidates, John Evaj and Thomas Edwards, labourers, who reside in n vicinity of Corwen, slated, that a< s they were nei$ Poors, they must b. g to decline contending agail each other, Loid Ciive theu stepped forward, al after applauding their kind feeling towards each other, asked them to proceed, and said he himself would gire a Medal to Ihe candidate that should he deemed unsuccessful. Richard Williams, one of the vocalists, who wasn poor blind man, so much interested the company by the humourous manner in which lie sang his stanzas that Lady Delamere presented a Medal to him also. THE SILVER HARP. For the SII. VBK HARP, which Prize was an elegant ' miniature Silver Harp, very beautifully finished, the Strings representing the number of the Muses, ten competitors, who were to perform on the Triple Harp, appeared. This trial of skill created much interest, aud the science of all the performers afforded Ihe highest satisfaction. The performers drew lots for the order in which they weie to play, which, with their names, the tunes played, and the time taken for the performance by each, we subjoin : — 1. Edward Humphreys, of Welsh Pool ; Dafydd Garreg Ids ; 4 minutes. 2. Benjamin Jones, of Dolgelly ; The Rising of the Lar/ c ; 3 minutes, 3. Edward Jones ( a blind man), of Llangollen ; Meillionen, or, Sir Walton's Delight ; 3^ minutes. 4. Henry Humphreys, of Welsh Pool ; Merch Alegaa ; 7. minuies. 5. William Hughes, of Llansaiulfraid; Welsh Ground; 6 minutes. 6. John Jones, of Dolgelly, Sweet Richard; 8| minutes. 7.

Hubert Rowlands, of Machynlleth; Sir Harry Ddu ; 4 minutes, 10. Richard Roberts, of Carnarvon ; Dyfyrrwch y lirenin ( TheKing's Delight) ; 3' minutes. The President said, the Judges ( Mr. Parry, Mr. J. J: Jones, and Mr. O. Davies) were unanimously of opinion that Mr. HENRY lluMPHfevs, of Welsh Pool, was entitled lo Ihe SiLvEtt HAIIP; and the MEDAL for the bpst performer who had not gained a Silver Harp at this or any previous Eisteddfod, was adjudged to Mr. John Jones, of Dolgelly. The successful candidates in. this, as in the oilier instances, were immediately invested with their several Prizes. Colonel PAHRY, of Modryn, then said— My Lord, Ladies and Gentlemen,— 1 embrace, I confess will ingly, the request of my brother liarilf and the learned judges of ttie compositions, lo propose a vole • of sincere thanks to the Committee who have con- ducted the details of this Festival with so much credit to themselves nnd satisfaction to you, and in doing so I shall, both for my own sake, and in consideration of you, occupy little of your valuable time ; and, fol- lowing Ihe path I pursued yesterday, when so unex- pectedly placed ( hy your good will and the Noble President's approbation") in liie Bardic Chair of Powys, 1 shall detail to von rather the reflections of others than my own, and thus point oilI some of the advantages which must accrue from meetings such as your Committee have so ably advocated. In days long gone bv, a person of the name of Scolao destroy- ed ilie Annals of Ancient British Literature iu Ilia Tower nf London: subsequently Ihe fires al llafod aud ot Covenl Garden, and oilier accidents, have extin- guished similar works of value. Is il not useful, then, lo endeavour to collect iliose efforts of genius which stilt resi in modern Bards, who, while they are following iheir humble occupations of industry, are exercising that intellect which is so astonishing, thai if it was uot witnessed would hardly he believed lo exist in their station of life? Is it not useful to have assembled so much beauty and good humour from contiguous and distant counties? Is il nut of advantage thai Ihe poor and the higher classes of society should have had this opportunity of witness- ing the amenity of manner arid taletu which the Noble President has displayed? To have seen ihe interest which your venerable Lord Lieutenant has taken in these proceedings? To have brought amongst you a gallant individual ( Lord llill) who has been one of the fnretnnst ill fighting for his country's honour? To see I hit noble person colli vnting the ar's of peace, after having gained llnfad iug laurels in the bailies' li^ ld ? Also another Nobleman ( Lord Detainer*), no less distinguished by the reputation he enjoy* in a neighbouring county, than by a nearest and dearest link to the family of Wynnstay ? We delight to cling lo ancient Literature, particularly if it belongs lo our own land, attd although we encourage, by education and by every ni. » iive, the association of language and sentiment with our English neighbours, yet we dwell with delight upon every remark lending lo enhance the recollecti , o of Ancienl British language aad character; and we listened with satisfaction when your Right Dim Member for Ihe county advo- cated formerly Ihe establishment of a Professorship of Ancient Brflish Liuigunge, as well asutie of Anglo- Saxon, already existing, at the University ; in which sentiment he was followed with approbation by the amiable Bishop of Calcutta. I pass by nil other subjects, and come to a siill sweeter oue, which bus truly di- picted a lie force and ihe truth of your native Inn TRILA !. « / ( i'it,' i: ITI \ AII A lllflr- il Tfaitsiatinn nf MV. tongue, by giving you a literal Translation of Mr. BlaekwelPs little Poem upon Lady Lucy Clive and tiie Family at Powys Castle ; concluding by moving tkp vote which I have already be< m directed io pro pose to you.—[ The following is the literal translation of Mr Blaekweli's Eiiglynion, as read by Colonel Parry.] Arouse to energy, ye men of tbe Province.? Extol your lot. The brilliant Daughter of Montrose is given in hal- lowed bonds to Powys— the land where ' love delights td ramble. The Thistly. after, a separation of a hundred ages, is rejoined to the Leek. Smiling, they grow together— the ornaments of the Middle Land. Their descendants must gather to a focus the rays of the double luminaries of their parentage. The bosoms of the sons must, thrill witli the ancient feelings of the sires. Should a foe dare to disturb the halcyon days of Powys, and burl havoc on the. Mansion; in the madness of the . conflict the sword will be borne by the descendants of a Cltefi But they prefer peace, the funeral of animosities, and the rekindling of; lore. They entertain the Muses; they Cherish the language of ancient days, tiie song, and the harp- string. ']. hrough the - long day of time, mav Happiness be their « Uii- » - May Prosperity adopt them— May they ever boast of the land, the deeds, and the blood of their ancestors ! Colonel Parry's motion was seconded BV GRIFFITH JONES, Esq. Secretary to the { loyal Cambrian 1 re- stitution. The Uev. THOMAS PIUCI?, of Crickhowell, Breck- nockshire, in a speech which was a most brilliant and unanswerable defence of the Ancient British language, rose to move the thanks of the Assembly to the .. authors of the several Compositions which had been submitted for Prizes at this Eisteddfod If, said he, tbe field of Marathon was consecrated by the- deeds of other days, surely the; ground on . which we now stand is not less hallowed by the presence and the talent of Welshmen. ' True it is that, our ancestors are gone, but their spirit remains in fhe bosom of their descendants, aud is aroused bv the view of the cairns and tumuli of their an- cestors in this their native land. If there are per- sons stiil hostile to these meetings, let them come forward to dispute the question upon this platform. • They may say our language is declining-, aad there- fore we had better leave it to its fate. What, I desert an o'd . friend because of his declining age ? Are We , then to abandon our aged parents ? But others may wish to extinguish the Welsh language, because they think: it hopeless to attempt to preserve it. We will thank these objectors to tell us what lan- guage can be assured to us as eternal, for then we would adopt it. Where are the fine Greek and the noble Latin languages now ? Only in the libraries and schools of the learued. Where is the language of the Saxons ? You must ask the Anglo- Saxon Professor. Where is that of the Normans ? On a few tomb- stones, and in the musty records of ancient law proceedings. I wish not to speak with levity or disrespect of the English language; but as we have been galled and taunted, I would ask, can that noble language endure for ever? The time may come when Shakspeare will be as obsolete as Chaucer is now, aud when Pope and Addison must be read with an interpreter. As the fine Greek, aud as the Latin language, which was the language of the conquerors of the ancient globe, have disap- peared from among the living languages, why may we not anticipate thata period will arrive when even the English language, which now prevails over so large a portion of the world, may become equally obsolete. How fortunate will it then be for those who are acquainted with the Ancient British Ian guage, which, having already lasted through the revolutions of ages, may reasonably be expected to continue, as it has done, and to surmount every opposition. The cultivation of the Ancient British language must be useful while there are tens of thousands who know no other: its nationality, as we have thrs day witnessed in two of our poor countrymen consecrating their friendship over the HarpVCheers), kindles the most generous feelings ; and how many have of late years lamented the in- judicious conduct of their part s, who neglected to teach them the Welsh language in their youth, and who permitted them to attain manhood iu this state of ignorance, when they found out their de- ficiency with so much regret. But some persons are dead to argument : and though, as a great statesman has observed, they cannot blow out the sua which shines upon others,| they can raise a smoke which deprives their own eyes of a view of its • splendour. If he who should destroy a light- house would be deemed a barbarian, what shall we say of the man who wishes to extinguish a living language ?— The Rev. Gentleman concluded by pointing the attention of the assembly to the case of poor lolo Morganwg, a Welsh Bard now passing his declining years in pain and poverty, ana whom he recommended to the benevolent consideration of his wealthy countrymen. CoL PARRY proposed tbat Lord Hill and Lord Delarnere be elected Honorary Members of the Cymmrodorion Society in Powys,— This motion was earried by acclamation. Lord HILL, in returning thanks, said, he had little / eason to expect So distinguished an honour from so distinguished a company. It was the first meeting lie bad ever attended in Wales. Asa mili- tary man, however, he felt it his duty to bear testis niotiy tothe talent and gallantry of Welshmen; He need only mention the names of the Marquis of Anglesey, and of his friend Sir Thomas Picton and the brave Fuzileers. He well remembered, too, the co nd u c t of S i r Wat k i n W i 11 i a in s Wy n n, w h o v o hi n - teered his services in France when his country wanted them ; but happily the termination of the war rendered further exertions unnecessary. Lord DELAMERE said, he was glad to echo the conclusion of his noble friend's address. His ( Lord Delainere's) connection with the House of Wynn- stay, by his matrimonial alliance with one of whom he'could not trust himself to speak during her presence— was a source of delight. He felt the highest ghitiffcaribn at the proceedings of the Eisteddfod, and not the least part of that gratifi- cation arose from witnessing the intellect and ac- quisitions of the humbler class. In acknowledging the vote of thanks to the Com- mittee of the Cymmrodorion Society in Powys, tbe Rev. R. MYTTON ( of Garth) said, ou their " behalf, that the Committee could not arrogate to themselves merit. Whatever pleasure had been derived from this meeting should be attributed to other persons and toother causes • among- the former, Mr. Parry was prominent; and, among' the latter was that dis- position to be plea^ d which this assembly had kindly manifested. Whatever difficulties there were in the way, the Committee bad not found them ; nor liad they to contend with frivol us objectors. All persons with whom, they had come in contact, became willing coadjutors. VVith respect to any objection to these institutions, he need only say that the ob- jects of the Eisteddfod were, 1st, To encourage Native Genius - and k2dly, To bring to light the treasures of Cambrian lore. The first object surely merits encouragement at all times; and whatever may be said against cultivating the Welsh tqugue, yet as that language is confined within the lines of the Principality, and as thousands know no other it seems a duty for their sake not to neglect it. " 1 am not, said Mr. M.) much versed in the language, but when I see it extolled by men of talent, I feel bound to give them credit.'" But there is a prac- tical good which will result, namely, the union of Welshmen for the furtherance of objects for the wel- fare of the Principality. We see ihe benefits of Nationality in Scotland : it increases her wealth extends her prosperity, and expands her talent Look at the appalling picture on the other side, Although removed from the one, We are, thank Providence, far removed from the other. Let the natives of Wales act upon the motto Cambrensis sum, et nihil Cambrense a me alienum puto." ( Cheers.) RICHARD PRICK, ESQ. of Gunley, said— Conscious of my inability, I should Hot presume to address this meeting were I not aware that the resolution which 1 am about to propose needs no comment— no pane- gyric of uiine— to insure it a most welcome and cordial reception ; but if comment were wanting, you will read it in the splendid assemblage now before tile— if panegyric,' you will read it IU those, brilliant eyes which shed such a lustre upon this meeting, which bespeak bosoms glowing with rap tore and delight, and whose refulgent rays of grati- fication will, 1 am confident, all be directed to one focus when I mention the name of our NOBLE PRE. SIDENT, to whom I beg leave to propose the heartfelt thanks of this meeting for his splendid and liberal patronage, and for his conduct in the chair,— Col. . DAVIES, of Nantcribba, seconded the motion. Lord CLIVE, in returning thanks, said, there were two distinct parties in the, country— one was for the extinction of the. Welsh lao& oage, anil the other seemed to wish that it should become universal : he could not agree with either purly, but was for adopting a. middle course: he would recommend that the Welsh language should be eucouraged, and that encouragement should be given to those who were disposed- tomake it a study. Where'is the elegance of the. Greek language cultivated ? Not at home, but among the subjects of Great. Britain. The Persian too ? Have we not English Professors. Then why not encourage the natives of our Mountain- la ltd to cultivate their nniient tongue ? His Lordship concluded by expressing his thanks to the Learned Gentlemen, who, by their kind at tp n t ion, and by their know1 edge of Cam- brian literature, bad done honour to themselves and conferred the highest obligation on the conductors of the Eisteddfod ; to the Committee ; and to the Ladies and Gentlemen present. So long as such meetings were honoured by such an attendance, there was no danger of the Principality of Wales falling into disrepute in the estimation of the world. After a few observations from MOSTYN PRYCB, Esq. 44 God Save the King" was given in full chorus, and the assembly adjourned. During the Eisteddfod the persons who had received Bardic Insignia, or gained Medals, & c. for successful compositions, wore them suspended from ribbons : the colours worn by the Bards were ac- cording to « heir degree : the Bard, blue; the Druid, white ; and Ihe Ovate, green, S KCON I) CON CFRT. The Town Hall presented a more numerous and grand display of rank anil talent, beauty and fashion, than it did oil the preceding evening, clearly evinc- ing the increasing " interest excited in the sons and daughters of Cambria by Hie proceedings of this Grand Festival. The Concert opened with Beetho- ven's Grand Sjnfouia, No, !, which was executed in a style that would have been no discredit tn nnv orchestra in the kingdom: though the effect, would, perhaps, have been heightened had the Band been a little stronger iu Violins. Instead of" The Nelson of the Day,''' which was to have been sung by Master Parry, Mr. M vtton's 44 Cambria's Holiday" w » « , by particular desire, repeated, and excited general ap- probation; after which, also by particular^ desire, Miss Stephens sung We're a-' ii. oddi. ri," in most beautiful style. The beautiful Glee, 41 O were I. laid where Ellen lies," composed by Mr. J. J. Jones, SV1 us. Bac. Oxon. who presided at ihe Piano, and intended to be published, was very well sung by fViast- r Smith, Messrs. Collyer, Vaugh. an, and Rolle. MUs Stephens's 44 Donald" was an excellent speci- men of ihe sweetness and chasteness of her singing. 44 Tbe Exile of Cambria." was also very well snug by Miss Carew; hut the Duet of " My Pretty Page," by ! V? i. ss Stephens and Master Smith, excited the admiration of all present ; she performing her part in u superlatively beautiful manner, whilst the melody and sweetness of his notes afforded pleasure to every one. Mr Lindley VConoerto oil the Vio- loncello was wonderfully fine, and we might, as a great admirer and a no less j tidy e of music did, sav, almost incomparable : the, correctness and sweetness were certainly never surpassed. Instead; of kt Oh, Patria," Miss Stephens sang 44 Should lie upbraid," in a delightful manner. The G'ee and Chorus of 44 The Chough and the Crow," by Miss Carew, Mister Smith, Mr. Rolle, . was also extremely well done. The Second Part, commenced with Beethoven's Overture, 44 Prometheus," which was executed in a masterly manner, and was followed by 44 Aufd Robin Gray," by Miss Stephens: it is impossible for any thing to be, more fine or more chaste lhan the sim- plicity with which she sang this beautiful ballad, and her pathos and exquisite sweetness throughout were almost incomparable; she lost none of tbat celebrity which she has before acquired in perform- ing it, MissCarew and Master Smith were deliohu ful in the much- admired Duet of 44 Oh, lei! me, gentle Stranger," audjjattract'ed general approbation : from the masterly manner in which it was executed, it was deservedly encored. Afier this, a most ex- cellent Solo was performed by Mr. Nicholson on the flute, the tone and execution of which were sur- prising. 44 Sons of Freedom," by Master Smith, was pretty, though not veryvstnking; but the beau- tiful Cantata of* 4 Alexis," hy Mr. Vaughan, afforded great pleasure, in which he was noblv supported by Mr. Liudley on the Violoncello. Seldom is there witnessed such an instance of simplicity, poriiy, and beauty of style in the one, contrasted with such fertility aud luxuriance in the other, " each giving each a double charm." 44 Men are false," by Miss Stephens arid Mr. Parry, was aiso extremely well done; but we did not consider Miss Carew in 44 Una Voce poco fa" quite so happy as we have before heard her. The Glee, 44 We Gypsies," by Mr. Smith, Master Smith, and Mr, Rolle, was very well snug, and the Bravura, 44 The Soldier tired," by Miss Stephens, was very fine, though not done, perhaps, in her bi- st manner; but the Trumpet O'blfgato, by Mr. Harper, was admirable, a « was the last stanza, 44 Long may Old Cambria Share," a solo in the finale of 44 God save, the King," hy Miss Stephens: and we must say, that this Concert, taken as a whole, was, perhaps* as fine and as excellent a one as ever was performed. Proceedings of Thursday. THE ORATORIO. The Musical part of the performances was closed, with a Grand Oratorio ( the first ever witnessed in the Principality)* which took place at the Church on Thursday morning, where were assembled all the noble, great, aud gay, that had attended the Con- certs, with an innumerable influx of company^ rolii all parts, who had apparently determined lo with^ S!^ at least one. day's portion of the pleasures that were thus, after ages had passed away, revived with ten- fold spirit, in Powysland, aud were distinguished, we, are happy lo say, by the patronage of the noble, the dignified, the affluent, and the scientific. ; The Oratorio was opened with fhe occasional Overture with great effect. This was, however, perhaps, an error in the performance, as nothing but the original Overture in tlie . Messiah can, with propriety, he introduced as a prelude to 44 Comfort ye." Still it must be recollected that there was] only a single Church Performance, and that it was necessary to shew the powers of the Band, as wefl as to give as much confidence as possible where the union of amateurs with the very first performers in the king, dpm so mucli required it., Mr. Jones, the Organist, did every thing tbat was possible to introduce the Recitative, and succeeded, and in it Mr. Vaughan displayed the pure and polished sweetness of his tone and manner. The Air, too, of44 Every Vajlev," so difficult in execution, was sung w ilh great efr"; cf Mr. Smith was Very good ih 44 Behold f a Virgin,' as well as in 44 6 thou that teilest;" and Miss Stephens was very fine in 44 There were Shepherds " But in the difficult Song, 44 Rejojce greatly, O Daughter of Zion '.'* the power and richness of her voice were surprising, 44 Behold, I tell / you a mystery," by Mr. Rolle, was very fairly > ung, and the Trumpet Obligato accompaniment, % Mr.- Harper, was excellent-— no imperfection . in- the hbtrV, but tbe whole wonderfully firm and c| eai. The, grand Hallelujah Chorus of Handel had its usual sublime effect. The Second Part commenced with 44 Gloria in Excelsis," which was not so well performed as we exppefed. The An'heni, by Master Smith ami Miss Carew, was beautiful; whilst Miss Stephens, iu 44 What though 1 trace eai- h Herb arid Flower," was admirable; as were Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Rolie in Here shall soft Charity repair," which was sweetly accompanied. Beethoven's Grand Chorus, from tbe 44 Mountof Olives," was executed ina style that, from its difficulty, cotdd not have been expected from Pro- vincial choristers. 44 Pious Orgies," Ivy MissCarevv, was very good ; and the divine * 4 Benedict us'* of Moznrt was remarkably well done bv all parties. 44 O praise the Lord," composed by Mr. Parry, and sung by Miss Carew, was delightful, and the Obli- gato Accompaniment excellent; as were the full, parts of the Chorus— 44 The Heavens ar. e telling from Haydn's 44 Creation." The Third Part was finely opened with tlie magni- ficent Chorus of 44 Te Deuin laudamns;" and the Recitative, 44 And God created Man," with the Air, 44 In native worth,"' were well done by Mr. CoHyci. 44 To Heaven's Almighty King," nnd tne Air 44, Qb Liberty," were remarkably finely siiiig" by Mr. ' Vaughan ; whilst the Accoippaniment on the Vio. loncelio, by i\ ir. Lindley, was fully equal to any we- have before noties. i. 44 O worse than Deaih," and 44 Angels ever bright and fair," hy Miss Stephens, were most beautiful.' In the latter she seemed to pour her notes with such ease, such fullness, aud such unvarying richness, that i! was impossible not to be struck With it. Mr. Vanghan's performance of 44 Luther's Hymn," was every thing that, could be wished. 4C Ye Sacred Priests," by Miss Carew, was beautiful ; whilst 44 Let the bright Seraphim," by MisS Stephens, with the Trumpet Obligato of Mr. Harper, was a finished specimen of tlie art both iu spirit and execution, and the performances concluded with the Coronation Anthem. Having noticed, according to the best of our ability, the most material parts of the Concerts and Oratorio, it remains only for us to admire the spirit which called forth, and so amply supported an under- taking of such magnitude, when compared with the population of Welshpool and the extent of the county of Montgomery ; and we cannol bu! pay the highest' tribute of applause to the diligence and care of the Committee, in so happily bringing the whole to a successful issue. The town of Poid will io^ g have reason to remember this meeting, if only on account of the extension of the Town Hall, w| jfflii? li- wjii4s( l Kerry, Called among the Bards I/ or Hael ( fvor the Generous).

A soon as the performances at the Church were over, the tiibie. s laid in the Town Hall were covered with a profusion of venison and other substantials, under ine stijMvrinleiiclence of Mrs. Whitehall, of the Oak Inn, The room was crowded to excess; nearly 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner; the wines were excellent ; and the Band of the Royal Horse Guards, and the Vocal, Performers, exerted their various talent io give a zest to the entertainment.— As soon as the Dinner was over, Non nobis Douane was given in tine style.

In our former Journals we have noticed the great number of Invitations issued by Lor^ and Lud. v Lucy Clive, whose only regret, we are sure, was, that a greater number of persons could not be comfortably received into Powys Castle; where, for a considerable time past, ' every thing that human means could accomplish which was likely to conduce to the coinfortj the entertainment, rfr the delight of the numerous persons invited, had beeu done without the most distant regard to ex- pense, and happy, superlative) v happy, we are sure, must be the feelings of the Noble' Lord aud his noble and highly esteemed Consort, to find that the unanimous opinio t of each and every one who id the honour of being present was, that never upon any occasion were they at a party any. thing like so numerous, where every one's Comforts seemed to have been so completely studied, or where every one's wishes were so promptly and itli, so much civility attended to. On elite ring the Park, persons in. niilitarv costume were stationed at intervals to direct the invited for the convenience of its market. We ca, mot,: how- ,„.„,! ,„,„.,.„„,. tlli> inle,. es, s „ f „ lp c„ nn, v of ever, let the opportunity pass to remark on cordiality and high good humour of all parties, and the interest taken by the Professional Singers and Performers in the success of the arduons..' undertaking? of the Amateurs and Chorus Singers. We have it from authority to state, that it is The intention of the latter parties to return their grateful thanks for thfe kindness they have received, and when we notice lhat Miss Stephens, Miss Carew, Mr. Vaughan, and all the professional Vocal Corps, sang through the whole of the Chorusses in a manner that shewed they were determined to give every, and the. com- ple'ely effective assistance in their power, it will not be wondered at that, their kindness is deeply felt and highly appreciated. Nothing has as yet been said of a very material part of the performance, we mean the Band of the Royal Horse Guards Bine. When we say that these unassuming men have very high professional stbiliiy, we do them bare justice, and we regret that 44 Gratias agimus tibi," was not performed in order to have given Mr. Stohwusser an opportunity of shewing bis abilities on bis instrument, in which we feel satis- fied he would have afforded a high treat to all present. If there were any mistake in, the plan of the peri, forma noes, it was the omission of another Church Meeting on Fri'luv morning, which, bad it taken place, ' would,. wiMiout doubt, have added at least £ 400 to the receipts. But to the Committee^ and to Mr Parry, the Coniluctbr, every praise must be 2' iven, aud we believe that Friday morning would have been employed, had the performances not been announced before the final arrangement took place. When we see the delightful science of mus'C car- ries! to such perfection even in our distant provinces, what may we uot expect will shortly be, the effect in our larger towns,— nay, perhaps even in our own,— thereby advancing science, adding means to employ a greater number of professors, andrearly.- a- dvaatag- iiig trade by the very large sunn circulated in these undertakings: The following Setter from Mr. Parry, tl|. e Coh< 1 nctor of the Musical Performances, as it relates more, exclusively to our townsmen, wilt be read with interest ; and though we are aware that the feelings of many of them would be best consulted bv our withholding it from public observation, our duty, as .

MY DEAR SIR, T cannot suffer you and your Salop friends to quit pool without expressing to you and to them, how much ! feeh indebted for the very able and cordial* assistaniie; wliich,|" have received during the Festival. Exclusively of your professional talents, your friendly and gentlemanly conduct demands my warmest thanks; and 1 beg. that you will say every thing that your own heart will dictate, on my behalf. The perform/ nice of the Gentlem- ui'Amateurs throughout the festival, both at the Concerts and at the Church, reflects on them the highest Credit,; and it is toe opinion of the Professional Ladies and Genvlemen who have attended the Meeting, that it would not disgrace any Orchestra in. the'kingdoin. To the Chorus Singoirs, too, I beg, through'you, to tender my best thanks ; they acquitted* themselves ad- mirably. • To Mr. Hughes 1 am highly indebted for his friendly an', 1 valuable assistance in, and out of, the Orchestra. You will all he happy to hear, that our united efforts have been crowned with success, and that the Noble Personages who honoured the Festival with their presence, have expressed themselves in the most flattering manner to me,— declaring that they never were more delighted. I remain, your's, most faithfully, To Mr. Tomlins. JOHN PARRY. Having before gone at length into the business of theCymmrodorion, our observations have now ap- plied merely to the musical department, and how- ever this department may have added to the bril- liancy aud attraction of the whole, it must never he furgotten that the foundation of the Festival was the POWYS EISTEDDFOD, The greatest compliment we could pay tothe Com- mittee on this head would be inadequate ; and all praise will be best condensed: by a short statement of tlie receipts at tbe several performances:— TUESDAY : collected at the Eisteddfod £ 90 0 0 Same day, at the Concert - - - •- 2^ 8 t( j 0 WBDNES'MY : at the Eisteddfod - .- - 15- FL 0 0 Same day, at the Concert - - - - .294 0 0 THURSDAY •. at the Church - - - - - 427 10 0 1188 6 0 The orderly and good conduct of the humbler class of Bards, throughout the Festival was noticed with the highest approbation.

Gentlemen, I fee! deeply grateful for the assistance 1 have on this occasion received from my noble and gallant neigh hours, and for the support that they & all of you have given ( si this fueeting. One or two individuals could not have accomplished such a termination; you have, however, done your duty as Montgomeryshire men, and have done niuch towards establishing societies that will perpetuate the language, the literature, and the- history of Wales, for ag. es to come.

And although this might at first be thought to - savour rather of " vanity and selfishness, yet lie was satisfied that, under due restraint.; it won id become one of.

Oil arriving at the outer precincts of the Castle, to prevent confu- sion, 6 carriages w ere allowed to enter the area in front of the grand'entrance at'onct, over the steps to w hich a temporary porch was erected. To this entrance the carriages on arriving were brought at a brisk trot, but in retiring- therefrom went at a slow pare, to signify to those coming lhat they were empty. The moment any persons arrived, their names were at nnced, and passed with telegraphic dispatch by numerous servants iu livery to tbe Ball Room. At the end of the great passage, the choicest evergreen and other plants were tastefully arranged in such abundance as to resemble a com- plete w ood, and had a most pleasing and picturesque appearance. Hence parties turned to the left, and at the foot of the. Grand Staircase, which was deco- rated with vtuions British Hags, the Band of the Royal Horse Suards Blue was placed, and at inter- vals, during- the evening, delighted jhe company with some of tlieir most beautiful pieces of music. From this place visitors proceeded into an anti- room, - vhere female servants were in attendance to take barge of their upper habiliments, which was done in a manner that gave universal satisfaction. From hence a temporary passage was made to the Ball Room, lined with crimson and coverid with white muslin; from tbe covering, at. appropriate in- tervals, pilasters of the same iiiiiteviais were beauti- fully arranged, and connected with each other by extending the drapery in elegarit'festoons. At the extremity of this passage, which was most taste- fully illuminated with lamps, and along which servants were stationed in attendance, a platform was erected, and covered with exotics and other curious plants in rich and rare variety. The Ball Room, which is 117 feet long by 20 feet wide, was beautifully fitted up for the occasion, and as brilliantly illuminated by Mr. Martin from London. Five, magnificent chandeliers formed a line down the middle of the room, the centre oue containing twelve very large and extremely iirii. Mailt argand burners, with fashionable grand glass lights, those ou each side of it containing six each, and the oilier two, four each ; added to these were mim' erless o br r> oil brackets rtyiiid the room ; aud the light front the whole had a most powerful aud grand effect. The floor was enfijrely chalked over by out- townsmen, Messrs. Bowen and Sons, with that elegance and correctness for which they are celebrated, in compartments formed of beautiful oval wreaths, each alternately having in the centre a Druid's Head or the ancient Harp of Cambria; the intersection of the ovals consisting of Greek foliage classically arranged. Down, the middle ot the room were chalked on escutcheons, within large circular wreaths, the arinorial bearings of the ancient early families who had tn succession be- come proprietors of this princely palace, viz. Oweti Ceyveilioc ( O u lion's gamb erased 0); Gweit- wviiwyn ( O a lion rampant G); Owen, last Prince of Powysla.' d ( 0 a lion rampant G); John de Charlton ( O a ' ion rairiptilii G) ; anil John Grey Lord Powys ( G a lion rampant within a border engrailed A). The names and dates of each of these were inscribed round the circles within which their arms were respectively emblazoned ; each being placed immediately under one of the chande- liers. The whole floor was surrounded with an elegant chalked border of antique griffins, each supporting a vase with pnteras between. At. the extremity of the Bali Room, the drapery of which was entirely of crimson aud white, a portion was partitioned off to form a refreshment room, which was entered ujider an arch : and here were pro vided iu ample profusion, hut arranged in the most tasteful manner, every thing for the purpose that could possibly be desired by the most fastidious palate in existence; the favourite beverage with llie guests, however, appeared to be Punch hi Uoniaine; and the quantity of ice in the room produced the most refreshing and delicious coolness At the extremity of this room was the Laocoou in appropriate drapery, und so placed, that, on a person entering the Ball Room, his eye, after ranging over its whole extent aud through the arch above- mentioned, rested in tlie distance ou this trtastei- ly piece of sculpture, tin t'lie sidts of the Ball Room also were small rooiiiitfor coliversutiop parties, richly and elegantly fitteij up with beauti- ful and refreshing plants, aud stored with the most choice refreshnieuts. The company began to assemble soon after eight, and on their arrival, each individual's name was instantly announced and eouveved to ihe Ball Room, where, ou their entrance, they were re. ceived on the left by the noble and amiable, couple that gave this princely entertainment ; the one having his son and lityr, the other her' eldest daughter in their hands, inheritors, we hope, of the virtues and graces of their parents. Lady Lucy- was most tastefully and elegantly dressed in white, the flounce looped with golden ears of coi- ii, em bleinatic of the season, an. I exhibited a proud dis play of diamonds; both of them appearing,, as ai eve witness observed, like two fair pillars in the mansion of their ancestors, adorned and beautified by the olive branches at their feet. " For contemplation lie and valour forrriM, For softness she and sweet attractive grace." The reception each aud every individual here met with was such as might have been expected by those well acquainted with the affability aud amia- ble manners of flieir noble Uost- aiid Hostess iu short was it, that every one felt iii a moment perfectly at ease, as much so, indeed, as if thev lad been at home; nor did this noble Pair leave that post, which their hospitality and estimable feeling had imposed upon them, until dancing commenced, and even then his Lordship remained there, io order that no oue on their entrance might be disappointed or al a loss, The Kail was opened between 9 and If)' o'clock, by Lady Lucy Clive and Lord Dehimore, with a Country Dance; and we are pleased to find the old English Country Dance, which is so well suited to the temper and character Ofall Englishmen, taking the lead in this ancient British. palace,. Her Lady- ship afterwards danced a Quadrille with the worthy representative of the ancient House'of Hiiwkstoue, Sir Rowland Hill, Bart. M. P,; and the ease, elegance, and exquisite manner i: a. which it was performed, attracted the admiration of the whole room. The lovely Country Dance and Quadrille parties, prevailed the whole evening, to the exclu- sion, we are happy to say, of Waltzes. The music for the dancing was performed by Paine.' s cele- brated baud, from London, which was stationed iu the centre of one side of the room. At this period nothiutr could exceed . the universal magnificence of the spectacle of so jituch beauty, rank, aud fashion as was here assembled'.

After Supper was over, and Ladies'had retiredt our gallant countryman, Lord Hill, in a short but elegant speech, after noticing tbe ' great exertions made by Lord and Lady Lucy Clive, Without any reference to expense, in providing this uiaguifieent. ntertainnient, and after paying a high and deserved etilogium to their public and private worth, pro- posed their good healths, which was drank wiih such enthusiastic cheers as have not echoed in the Castle of GwenWynwyn, since ( fwenw ynwy n* s name it had cquired. Soon afterwaids Lord Clive, in a speech eplete with genuine feeling, that did honour to hits heart, returned his sincere thanks for their kindness, and in allusion to the compliment paid him and his Lady by Lord Hill, said, that ii was a high gratifica- tion to them to think that it was believed they had exerted themselves so as to deserve the character so kindly given them— their wish was, at all times, to deserve it, both from the high and from. the low, as weU in England as in Wales, and every part of iiis Majesty's dominions ; and lie hoped they should never do any thing to lose the company's good name and good opinion. • Some of tlie company being about to take their seats, under the impression that other healths were going to he proposed, Lord Hill shortly observed, that they bad other duties to perform, the Ladies being then waiting for them in the Ball room,, whither the gentlemen immediately returned, but, in so doing, moved round tbe Suppt r Tables to admire the variety, splendour, tasie, and richness, that stood upon the festive hoard ; a proud display of. Mr. Gunta's ( of London) skill in ibis depaitiuent. Op returning to the Rail Room, dancing recom- menced, and was kept up wiih spirit till 4 o'clock, when this grand and splendid assemblage was closed with a country dance ; afier which ibe band played the King's favourite March. Tbe company then began to retire; and here the excellency of the arrangements made for the convenience of all was strikingly apparent — no contusion— no loss of any thing—- but eve ry thing in order— had as soon as wanted— and the civility of the servants, aud every one in attendance* throughout the evening was superior to any thing we have before heard of. Th</ Carriages came up and were announced as at the beginning, and owing to the great care taken by Lord Clive, the passages leading thereto were per- fectly warm. In conclusion, we. must say that no words of ours can do justice, certainly not exceed the praise due, to Lord and Lady Lucy Clive, for Ihe incomparable manner in which every department, even the most minute., was conducted • and for the ease, affability, and genuine kindness exhibited to every one present. Such an effect, indeed, had this, upon the company, that many observed, " How can we leave these delightful people 1— how leave this delightful place!" MECHANICS' LIBRARY.

SIR, I am pleased to find that the opinion I formed of your candour was a Correct one, aud at the same time flattered that my fbrhrer observatioijs have been considered worth yotir notice. Encouraged by these considerations, 1 venture, again to eravfc your indulgence in favour of the few concluding observations which I have to make upon the above subject.; 1 hope at leakt ( and I dare say you do) that 1 shall conclude them in Hi is sheet. It is, 1 believe, contended hy some that. there is an omission in the Act of Incorporation, in hot having directed the averages to be taken from Time to time ; but as this supposition Can only have arisen ' from supposed injustice either in the. creation of, or in the effects produced by the Act.; 1 shall presently make a. few further remarks on that part of the subject; bii. t in the first place I must be|- leave to digress for a moment, in order to advert to an objection which 1 perceive has been taken to the measures whjeb have been adOpied ftir enectirig- its repeal, The objection, is, that tlie Guai- dians have no power, under the Act, to appoint, a Com- mittee for. that purpose. But. without considering in whose favour this objection is taken ( for I am of neither parly), I submit, wjtb deference^ that it is wholly unfounded. True, indeed, it is, that thfe Act. contains no clause expressly authorising its o. wn repeal; and it would be most, strange indeed if it did. Il is equally true; that neither the Guard' ians, nor any Committee which they may appoint, can - derive any power under the Act for any pitrpose whatever ; and I Jwke it to be equally true that they would require none ; for it is not in their cliaracteV of; Guardians that. they would appoint; the Committee ( even though such appointment might take- place in the House of Industry), but in their character of Parishioners, of men whose interests are affected by the Act iti questi'dii, arid whose right therefore to appoint any number of tbe most experienced Fr'om amongst themselves to effect its repeal, cannot be doubted ; and who, when so/ appointed, would, for that purpose-, possess precisely the same powe and right, to Act, as the Committee did which was appointed to obtain it. It might perhaps have been more regular if a meeting- had been called O'f all the persons interested hi the question ; bat that, or indeed any meeting at all, is rather a matter ol' prudence than of necessity ; as it is clear that any single individual even, who feels himself'ag'gn'eved by the Act, has undoubtedly a right to ap'ply to the Legislature for relief. If therefo'r'e the Act. be Yamcfilttj bad, I, for one, say, let it be repealed and this was the question, the con side rati oh of which, but for this unfortunate digression, 1 whs about to resume. Let us therefore return to; the averages, and enquire for a moment — was it th intention, or did equity and justice require of til makers ofthe Act, that, the averages- should be taken from time to time ? It appears to me that there are but two ground: upon which the affirmative of this proposition ca be supported. The first is the increase or decrease of the quantum of poor in any of the respective Parishes; whereupon it is contended that tire ex. perid'iture of such P- ttrah ought also proportional)!, to increase or decrease. As to so much of this oh* jeetiou as relates tothe flux and reflux of tbe poor between the different, united Parishes; I trust I have in my former letter pretty clearly shown that 110 such argument can be founded thereupon ; and 3 shall bye and bye endeavour to'show what would have been the consequence had it been otherwise But then, it may be asked, suppose such increase is occasioned',- not by paupers belonging to any off tbe united Parishes, bfit belonging to some strange Parish ; are nil the united Parishes to bear thi burthen ? To this question the Act its'eijLs hall iidt ofily give an answer, ' but- at the same time affbrd powerful argument against tire .' doctrine, of renew able averages. The' 8? th section ' enacts, that if the Parish Officers of any of the said Parishes shall suffer any such poor to gain settlements therein they shall be • uiaintuiued solely at the cost of sue' FarWh ; so that, however, for wantperhaps of being properly understood, the Act may be declainie ' agaihst, it, will not be found so improvident as sohi may imagine— not that 1 mean to defend it in all its parts as a tnaster- piece of Legislative composition but we are now speaking of it as a? ohole, as an In strum- en t likely to be generality productive of good or'evil. Nor ' shall I ( at present at least) stay to consider its different clauses ; as this, would lead- me' into, a discussion much longer than yon would per- haps approve of ; lint- confining myself, as usual-, to general arguments, I Come now to consider the second ground of objection to fixed averages ; anil wliieh^ iiiasmuch'as it wasVe. w likely to occur, vvasi more likely to have occasioned an omission .( caSus omissus, as it is called,) in the Act. Tbe objection is founded upon the possible increase ov dec red se'of the value of rateable property in any of the different Parishes ; either of w hich'circuthstances, it is said, is inconsistent with a fixed average. But let us consider them a little ; and, First, as to t\\ e increa$ e of rateable property. I must beg leave to eftll again toiiiy assistanee'for a ' moment those two Reverend ' personages, Aaud'B, in order to curtail my remarks a ' little ( whU.' b have already drawn ' me, fnio mnl'grddo, ' iipon the third side of my sheet), as well as toihake myself better under s tood'. Let us suppose then, that A should have doubled the value of bis rateable property, whilst that of B remained stationary-^ Now in this case, supposing that they both set out paying'the same sum in the pound, ( say 4s.) B would continue to pay 4s. whilst. A wotilq be reduced to 2s. in t, lie pound., Now if B should- apply to A to have a new valuation of the property, and fix the average accordingly, I sup- pose A would say to him — what have you to do wilh the increase of my proper, ty, when such increase cannot possibly have the effect of malting, you pa( y Wore'than you must have paid if such increase had not taken place ? or why should you expect to ease your load, by means ol'the property wliiclvmy in- dustry has acquired ? - These;, would be puzzling questions for B, to answer. Indeed, it might with equal justifee be urged, in calculating the losses of any two pat titers in trade, that one should hear a greater porrio. i than the other, because he had a private fortune,; and the other had none ! We will- now take the converse ofthe proposition, and suppose that A has; greatly decreased instead of increased in . value .; and ibis will not detain; ; us long, because it appears to me tha, t it. is exactly met bv the converse of the argument; for if his share of the partnership- eost, ought not to be regulated by his; private [ gain ; for the same reason, it ought not to lie regulated by his,. private.- to, ss. I am aware, in- deed, that if any one feels inclined to be sceptical, he. uiay carry this proposition'still further, even ad infinitum, and fell us, that, by earthquakes, Or volcarios, or some such unlucky sport of" iiat- Ure, it is possible that A, as a Pitrisb, may be reduced to somewhat like Old Sarutn is as a Borough ; ahd who then, he might ask, w- ould pay this irrevocable average•? But, r, I am here endeayoiiriug to. speak of things rational, aud probable ; and if any one be pleaded to, pass these bounds, and amuse his. fancy iJib such subiime ( lights of his imagination";" 1. beg leave to part wish t). lid at the foot of Etna and Ve- suvius ; . only observing ( as I by no means intend to . deny the . possibility of such a disaster) that our Laws have not left tbe poor unprovided for, even though they may be found in a Bankrupt Parish. Having endeavoured briefly to show that there was no intention ou the part of the Legislature, or at least that there was no necessity, so far as equity .. nd justice are concerned, that the averages should be taken from/ time to time ; I was just about to show ( as I intimated above) what would have been the babie consequences if such intention hod existed, { had in fact been carried into execution, by directing that thev should tie so taken ; but here I find my st. ft' again at ihe end of my sheet before 1 am t the end of iny subject ; and as I have very little doubt you will think' one sheet CHOugh at a time, 1 must take my . chance for a corner in a future num- ber.

SIR, Although every tiring- was done ftt the late Meet- in- at Welsh Pool to render it as attractive as pos- sible, yet there were some Gentlemen, if such they could lie called, who, it seems, were grievously disappointed ; ill Ihe first place, because ihe atten- tion paid to. them by those in a higher rank of life than themselves diii not come up to their expecta- tions ; and, secondly, because some of the Singers of Penmltion were not. dressed in such g- fty attire us they thought suited the occasion. Perhaps those Gentlemen may tiave taken it into their wise heads that none but the rich and wealthy can possess any .. cuius, or ai least that the outward dress must be a true index of the inward mind. But let me tell these would- be judges, tint they are most wofully mistaken: true Genius as often dwells under the arh of Poverty as under the rich habiliments of the wealthy. Perhaps, however, if Ihetj had been - ealed with that distinction by their superiors uhic. ii they thought themselves entitled to, every hing would have gone on smoothly, aud they would have praised the Eisteddfod as much as tliev now. depreciate it. But, alas! some of the witlings of the present day think of nothing but the smiles of the great; and as thev have not powers to appre- ciate true'excellence,, we may excuse them, for 1 do not think that their auger will do much harm to any oue— it will only recoil hack on themselves. 1 am, & c.

ENT AssAULt.- Qibt> » v. was an ac# ® n for com^ n.^ a- tiou in damagesfer injury su- stafened by tbe plaintiff, in coaseqiaettce of a violent assanlt on him by the defendant. The damages were laid' at £ 20.00. It appeared from tlie evidence, that the plaintiff was a commission merchant at B- ridgewater, ami had been in business for several years. The defendant was a merchant in tbe same town, and of consi- derable opulence. The plaintiff had lent in the year 1822, a pair of scales to a person named Grab, " bum, residing in that town, and had repeatedly applied for them. It turned out that this person bad also lent the scales to Ford, the defendant. In August, 1823, Gibbs asked Grab bum to return the Scaled; and on that day he and Gibbs were on the quay" at Bridgewater, where also Ford made his appearance. Grabbuui again asied Ford for the scales, and Ford desired him to send Gibbs to him — Gibbs said he would not go to such a shabby fellow. Ford came up afterwards, and Gibbs asked him for the scales. Some warm words ensued, when Ford seized Gibbs by the collar, and Gibbs said, " I'll make thee pay for this." Ford said, if be was to pay for it he would give him some more ; and thereupon he seized him by tbe collar again, and kicked him in the breech. Gibbs was on lower round than Ford. Ford was a stout man of .35— . Gibbs not so stout, aud aged 48. Mr. Parker, Mr. Ax ford, aud Mr. Stancl. ert, medical gentlemen, attended Mr. Gibbs from the 16th of August to the present time. Tie was seized with fever almost immediately after the assaalt, a swelling appeared, a » d ultimately these symptoms were aggravated until partial paralysis ofthe lower extremities made its appearance. Dr. M'Mullen and Dr. Sully visited Gibbs twice ^ y order of the defendant. The result of their testimony vvas, that the plaintiff did not labour under paralysis or a spinal affection, and that the pains which be felt might have been occasioned by gout. Win. War ber and James Rouley were called for the defence, and they stated in the most positi ve maimer, that they saw the plaintiff with Mr. Evans in a gig, riding down a place called Mount Radpid, hear Bridgewater, in tbe latter end of October, 1£ 23, after the assault, when the gig fell into a rut, was completely overturned, and Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Evans were thrown out. Gibbs, they said, fell pori his back, and when he was raised up, he put is hand to his back, and. said-—'" The Lord have mercy on my poor back and loins." He was then removed by three men info his house, and the gig was led gently after him. To contradict this testi- mony, Wm. Evans was called, who stated, that he had often driven, about the. time alluded to, Gibbs in a gig; but he declared in the most solemn manner, that no such occurrence ever took place.— The case lasted upwards of 11 hours; and after a most elaborate charge from the Judge, the Jury Skrex Races, 1824. TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM— On Monday vening, the 30th ulit. the southern part of the Principality was visited by one of the most violent I steep chalk- hills, named 44Tbe Hills of Ambition,' ' '' "'" : | • - " • 4U" ' which conimaiid a beautiful prospect. On arriving thunder stoTins within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant; and we lament to state, that the conse- quences have been most disastrous along the vale of Gjamorgan, whole fields df corn having been demolished by the rain which fell in torrents for fiive hours, besides the damage done to houses, mills, & e. & c. which opposed its.. impetuous course. The storm commenced between, five and six o'clock, and so excessively heavy was the rain., that the turnpike roads in several places between Py le and Swansea became impassable for carriages or horses for a considerable time. The high road between Neath and the Abbey was deeply flooded; and at IVJelyncrythan, one end of a small woollen factory was carried away, with part of the machinery, a ick of hay, arid the poor industrious owner's stock of wool. But .. the most extensi ve injury was sus- tained by Mr.' Gibbins, at the chemical works in at the foot of one of the hills, Mr. justice Butrough commenced his ascent, followed by his Learned Brother, who, being a iriore nimble man, soon got the'start of him, and" gained the summit. M Justice Bui rough, by great exertion and labou at length got into a steep and slippery path, called Tbe Lady's Path," close lo which is a precipice. In his attempts to clamber up this path, the Learned Judge slipped down on his breech, both his shoes having come off, and rolled down to the base. Two persons, who were spectators of the predicament in which the Judge was placed, ran to his assistance, when Mr. Baron Graham called out from the top of the hill, " Hah, hah! Brother Burrough, you had better desist: I think you have that village, where a. large quantity of sugar of I already paid dearly for your ambition," With the ' ' ' ' " v- • assistance of the persons above- mentioned, the lead, packed in casks ready for exportation, was | dissolved by the water; whilst the mischief pro- duced, amongst the very valuable avid extensive chemical apparatus, can uot be readily estimated. So powerful was the flood, which completely in- vested the work's, that it removed some very large and massive iron pans to a distance of many y; ards. Carboys, containing a large quantity of acid, were floated away, and deposited in every direction; man, y, of course j broken, and nearly all emptied of their contents. At Peugweru- Fawr, in the parish of Ke'harth, Carmarthenshire, a man was struck dead with lightning whilst stacking oats; the electric fluid enured his bat., excoriated the crani- um; so as to expose the skull to view, pursuing its course dow n his side it entered the shoe, and passed out through the sole. Another man who was eui- plo. yed with him escaped unhurt. The Oats stack was reduced to ashes. FLINTSHIRE GREAT SESSIONS, MOLD, Sept. 1824.— Dos on the Demise of Jones v. Edwards.— This was a case of ejectment to recover possession of a house and three gardens, situate in. Threap Wood, in the county of " Flint, At the last. Assizes it was sought t. o recover the same premises, among other lands, but though the plaintiff succeeded in recovering- the lands, he failed in the ho Use arid ga'rdeviS, in consequence of not bfting- able to prove tliat, a cMtn was , made upon the defendant within twenty years, under the statute of James the First. The facts wei; e, these : the father of tlie plaintiff had a house and gardens, wllich he let to a man named/ Roberts, and the, deleudant, who was his son- in- law, canie to live with Ro- berts, diiring which time he paid him as a lodger, and could not then be considered in possession. Shortly aftfer, Roberts left the house, and the defendant has continued in it ever since. The father died,. and the plaintiff now claims under his title. The whole question turned upon the length of time the defendant was in possession. The ' counsel for the defendant contended, that he was more than twenty . years in possession, as it was more than twenty years since Jortes, the father, died,- and that no " seizure of thfe^ remises had been made since; but. this point was over- ruled by the Court, and. the evidence distinctly shew- ing that the defendant was only, in the possession. nineteen years from ' February, last, and the plaintiff " was then heir- at- law to the pi- dperty, the Jury fohnd a verdict for the pMfitiff, thus restoring ' him to the possession of the house artd • gardens.--- Covniselt'oi- plaintiff, Mr. Temple and Mr, Corbett ; Attorney, M, n.

MARY WILLIAMS, widow, a respectable looking wo- man, was placed at the bar, charged with having teloni- oitsly stolen a black ge\ dih£, of the valtie of £ 10 anfl uowards, on tlie 13th of'JiilyTast, the property of Edward iSfione, of the parish of Mold.— Mr. Hilt stilted the facts of the case, and after some comments upon the singularity of a woman being, perhaps for the first time,, indicted for horse- stealing, proceeded to call wi! thesses.-- The prisoner TYiade . no defence.— The'Chief Justice summed, up, and the ;?. Ury'returned a verdict of Guilty .-- On hearing this ver- dict, the unfortunate- man fell into violent hysterics, loitdly exclaiming that she was innOcerit, aijd bought the • horse. She: soon swooned away in the arms of the gaoler, ; feebly uttering " My children, my children." On her recovery, she was informed by tlie Court that her life Wdu id be spared, and that she would be recommended to the Crown for the extension of such mercy as the circum- stances of the Case would ' ildmit. This agreeable intellir gence calmed her considerably., but on the Clerk, of the Court asking her " what she had to say why judgment of death should not be recorded iigainsjt her?" thinking that the Court had changed its opinion, the same tragic scene - was repeated. Both the Court and the audience were sen- sibly affected by this scene.-- [ The prisoner was appre- hended in endeavouring to Sell the aiiihial at COrwen fair on the 14th- July-] RUTHIN ASSIZES, AUGUST 27. JONES V. D'AVIES. This was an action to recover the amount of a £ 5 forged ' note, alleged to have been given to the plaintiff by the defendant. Mr. TKMPLB stated the case : The plaintiff was a drover in the habit of going about the country, buying and selling cattle. In Marcn, 1822, the de. fendant, a farmV- r, bouoht some sheep of the plain- tiff, the price of which vvas £^ 3; and some time in the August followiilg lie paid him the amount, in which, as it afterwards appeared, he gave the forged £ 5 note which Vvas now the subject of dispute. The evidence which he would produce would leave no doiibt Of the fact. In the latter end of the following month of September, the plaintiff, discovering thai lie had received a forged £ 5 iiote'frotji the, defendant., told iiim of it, but the dVfehdaut then replied that he did not kilow whether lie gave it him or not, and re- fused taking if back. However, on sending to him afterwards l> y other persons, he admitted to them that he had received it from a butcher of the name of Wiiliams. With this admission, and the proof of the identity of the note, which be would clearly esta- blish, lie could have tio doubt of a verdict for his client.- The stile of the sheep was admitted, and tile. payrtVent of '£ 28 ; and the whole question was, Whether the £ 5 - forged note was one paid by the defendant to tlie plaintiff or not Mr. CTIARLES CHITFSTMAS, an inspector from the Bank of.

MOOERN PHRASES.— Killing an innqcent man in a duel ( according to'the present phraseology) is called an affair of honour ; violating the rights of wedlock, an affair of gallantry.; defrauding honest tradesmen, out ruwningv the constable ; reducing a family to beggary by gaming-, shaking the elbows; a drunkard, the worst of all livers, a bon vivunt; disturbing a whole street, apd breaking a watch- man's head, a midnight, frolic:; exposing* some h ar ml es s pe rs on age to insults, annoyatices, and lpss. es, a g- ood hoax ; uttering deliberate falsehoods, shooting the long bow, kc.^- The Mirror, FINE NAMES.— The rage for giving fine names to all men, things, and qualities, w^ as never more influential than at present. All men aregenttcnien, and all women are ladies— a Workman is an " oper- ative"— a boarding- school is an c< establishment" — and, to crown the whole, a barber will tell you of his " professional avocations," and a boxer boast of bis " science." Even the 1 a w ye rs h a v e not escap « d the contagion. We rarely hear now of an Attorney, In all casos, e veil at the Police Offices, there are nso persons employed but Solicitors. We can percei ve no charm in this new title which renders it, superior to tlie old legal name. But if there be any such superiority, this appellation is, at all events, im- properly applied to gentlemen engaged in proceed- ings at common law. The Lord Chief Justice took occasion toallude to this innovation the other day at the Exeter Assizes, and refused to permit an Attorney in an action to be styled a Solicitor, justly remarking- that there was no reason why gentlemen should be ashamed of the title of Attorney. Another Paper says— Amongst all the improve- ments - of the age, none perhaps are more striking- than those which have recently been made, and indeed are at present making, in the lahg- ua^ e of Ordinary life-. It is not merely by the introduction of foreign words and phrases into , the English tongue, nor the designation of places of amnsement, or shi& ps, or carriages, by alien titles^ that this great alteration is working-, but by the adoption of ' figurative phraseolog- y and elegant expressions, finch bid fair to rival the formal foppery of Eupheuism. Who in these days ever reads of boarding- schools ? — nobody— they are transformed into academies for boys and seminaries for girls ; the higher classes are 4< Establishments"— a coach maker's shop is a " Repository for Carriages"—! milliner's " a DepoV— a thread- seller's an " Em porium." Oue buys drugs at a C{ Medical Hall,'' wines of a " Company," and shoes at a u Iflart."— Blacking' is di- peused from an " Institution," and meat from a u Purveyor." These have long been evident it is true— but we disregard them all in Comparing the effect likely to be produced upon society by the adoption of such gross absurdities, with that which probably will result from the introduction into the language itself of others still more glaring. For instance, instead of reading, that after a ball the company did not g- o away till day light, we are told that " the joyous group ' continued tripping on the light fantastic toe until Sol gave them warning to depart." If one of the company happened on his way to tumble into a ditch, we shouldbe informed that " his foot slipped, and he was immersed in the liquid element." A good supper is described as making- the " tables , groan with every delicacy of the season." A crowd of briefless lawyers, unbeneficed clergymen, and half- pay officers, are enumerated as a " host of fashion'" at a watering- place, where we are also informed, that ladies, instead of taking a dip before breakfast, " plung- e themselves fearlessly into the bosom of Neptune."— A sheep killed J> y lightning- is a thing- unheard of— the animal may be destroyed by the " electric fluid," but, even then, we should not be told that it was dead— we should be informed that " the vital spark had fled for ever." If the carcase were picked up by a Carpenter or shoe- maker, we never should hear that a journeyman tradesman found it— we should be told that its remains had been discovered by an " operative artisan. 1'' AH little girls, be their faces never so plain, pitted, or pitiable, if they appear at a public- office to complain of robbery or ill- treatment, are invariably " intellig- ent aiid interesting ;"— if they have proceeded very far in crime, they are called " unfortunate females"— should they by any acci- dent have a prospect of becoming mothers, we are informed, " that tliey are in a way that ladies wish to be who love their lords." Child- murder ; is elegantly termed " infanticide"— and when it is punished capitally , we- liear, not that the unnatural inother was hanged, but that " tbe unfortunate culprit uiiderweut the last sentence of the law, and was launched into eternity."— No person reads the newspapers that a house has been burnt down — he perhaps will find " that the house fell a sacrifice to the fiatnes." In an- account of a launch we learn, not that the ship went " OFF'the slip without any accident, but that " she , glided securely and majestically into her native element," the said native element being one, in which the said ship never was before. To send for a snrgeon if one's leg be broke, is out of the question, a man indeed " may be dispatched for medical aid."— There are now no public sihg- ers at tavern dinners— they are " the professional gentlemen;" and actors are all professors of the " histrionic apt." A kept mistress ls not to be found from Grosvenor- place to Bethnal- green— they are " ladies: living underthe protection of gentlemen :" widows themselves are scarce— th: ey are all " interesting relicts;" and as for nursery- maids, they are now- a- days universally transformed into " young, persons who superintend the. junior branches of tiie family."— These little delicacies and refinements appear to us to threaten the plain, sensible, straight- forward language of J oh tv Bull; and however sweet to double- refined minds, and however charming in very polite society, are in plain narratives and public papers contemptibly absurd. Low Price of IWfieat ajid High Price of Bread.— In the month of August, 1823, the price of wheat in Dorchester market was from 58s. to " 68s.: the quartern loaf then sold at 7d. It will be • seen by the Dorchester return of this week that wheat is from 44s-. to 64s., ami the quartern loaf is aowsellhig at nine •• pence"? Arguing from analogy,- as old Farmer Fourscore would say, we may expect that the quartern loaf will be risen to a shilling be- fore Christmas.— Dorset County Chronicle. . ft Mr. Corbet's gr. h.
