Jones and others. The Property has a frontage of 207 feet in the Terrace Road, and a frontage of 37 feet in the North Parade, while this width is increased at the other end to 72 feet. From its being a compact lot of ground, and within a short distance of the proposed Railway Station, and in a direct line to the Marine Terrace, this Property is well adapted for BUILDING PURPOSES. The annual ground rent to the Aberystwith Corpor- ation is only £ 1 Is., while the Lease will not expire till May, 1920. For further particulars, apply to Mr. Philip Wil- liams, Stationer, 12, Bridge-street, Aberystwith. A Cure to be had for a trifle. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. Gout, Rheumatism, Enlargements and Stiff Joints. Gout, Rheumatism, Enlargements and Stiff Joints. A cure of these complaints is within the reach of the most umnie, by lomenting the affected part with warm salt and water as'id rubbbing in Holloway's Ointment twice a day. Thou- sands have lieen cured who looked upon Gout and Rheumatism as incurable. The satne treatment should be employed for the dispersion of chalk stones, and all painful enlargements or stiff- ness of the jonts; in such cases the Pill should be taken accoiding to the printed directions. Bad 36egs, Bad Breats, and Ulcerations of all kinds. The cure of ulcers has won for Holloway's Ointment an im- perishable reputation, as this healing Ointment will resiore any case however bad to soundness, Many bad legs arise from Im- prudences, happening several years before and almost forgotten if, then, there be any doubt as to the origin of the sores, the patient should read carefully what is written on secondary symp- toms in the Book of Directions, as those sores never heal soundly until the system has undergone a thorough course of Holloway's gurifying Pills. Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, Diphtheria, and Bronchitis. Any of the above ailments may be quickly cured if the Oint- ment be well and effectually rubbed into the neck and chest twice a day, leaving the parts constantly covered with a rag spread with the preparation; if this treatment be adopted promptly, in six hours it will effectually stop the most alarming symptoms. It must be evident that an outward application ap- plied to the seal of the disorder must be more effectual than any thai can be taken by the mouth. Holloway's Pills should be used according to the directions in order to subdue irritaiion, inflammation, or fever xmopsv. This fearful disease often makes its appearance between the ages of f.jrty and fifty, .mil might geiv raWy be prevented by attending regularly to the proper action of the liver and stomach these organs, at this time of life, have a great tendency to derangements, when asthma, dropsy, or disease of the heart often sets in. The blood requires frequent elimination which no other medicines can so effectually perform as these purifying Pills, as they purge gently, and act immediately upon the liver and stomach, and thus remove all obstructions which at the" turning point of life always occur. This dangerous period should be closely watched; two doses a week of about six Pills will ward off all dangerous diseases. But in all cases of dropsy the Ointment is a wonderful and sovereign remedy, and must be effectually rubbed twice a day into the suffering parts. Youthful Indiscretion. How many poor women suffer from the indiscretion of hus- bands—which results in bad legs, swellings, loss of health, and rheumatism—as they suppose—although it is nothing of the kind—but tVie effect of a certain disease taking hold of the sys- tem-no ordinary medicine can cure hem, because the disease has sunk deeply into their constitution. Children often have sores, and bad heads, which do not heal, for the reason that contamination occurred before their birth. Let all who may suffer from such causes have recourse to the purifying and heal- ing properties of the^e wonderful Ointment and Pills, observing carefully what is said in the book of directions on Secondary Symptoms, which, if strictly followed, will effect any cure of the kind, but it will be a work of a little time. Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following casu Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore Throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin Diseases Bite of Mosrhetoes Fistulas Scurvy and Sand-Flies Gout Sote Heads Coco-bay Glandular Swell- Tumours Chiego-foot ing-s Ulcers Chilblains Lumbago Wounds Chapped Hands Piles Yaws Corns (softs) Rheumatism Sold at the Establishment of PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, 244, Strand, (near Temple Bar,) London; and by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the civilized world, at the following prices :—Is. lid,,2s. 9d.,4s. 6d., lis., 22s., and 33s. each Pot.

Davies (one of the archi- tects of the Queen's Hotel) would be willing to un- dertake the duties of surveyor of the corporation but as there were only five members of the council present, it was thought desirable to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight. NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.—The General Post-office authorities have made arrangements for the establishment of a mail service by railway be- tween Shrewsbury and Borth, and between Newtown and Llanidloes, which commenced on the 1st instant. London letters, and those of the north of England, arrive here from Borth at 11 15 a.m., and are de- livered at 12 30 a.m., the mail returning at 4 5 p.m. the same day. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Monday last, as Mr. Henry Davies, a blind man, was walking on the footpath in Little Dark-gate-street, he accidentally fell down an open trap door. Fortunately he sustained little injury. Mr. Davies, who is at present resident at Llanilar, and much respected, was formerly an inha- bitant of this town and he is frequently in the habit of performing the distance on foot, feeling his way by means of his walking stick. We trust the authorities will see the impropriety of leaving trap doors unne- cessarily open. LLEW LLWYVO'S CONCERT.—Llew Llwyvo and his two talented children (Miss Llwyvo Lewis and Master G. Lewis) gave an evening concert at the Assembly Rooms, on Saturday last, Mr. Young, Organist of St. Michael's, kindly presiding at the pianoforte. The following amateurs also gave their assistance on the occasion:—Messrs. E. Edwards and W. Samuel; the Misses S. Morgan, A. Edwards, M. Morgans, M. Lewis, and A. Jones. All the pieces were well rendered, and deservedly applauded. The attendance was pretty good, although not so numerous as might have been expected. ABERAYRON.—NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The children attending these schools, numbering about 250, were on New Year's-day treated to their annual tea party in the schoolroom. The following ladies contributed to the funds, and also kindly presided at the different tables :—Mrs. Major Lewis; Mrs. Maddy; Mrs. Evans, Penygarreg Mrs. Hughes, the Bank Mrs. Jones; Miss Jones, and Miss Jennings. After the tables were cleared, the church choir (all of whom partook of tea) sang for some time, much to the amusement of all present. The chair during the concert was filled, in his usual able manner, by the Rev. H. Morgan, (proposed by J. N. Evans, Esq.,) and supported by the Rev. Mr. Evans, Llanddeiniol. LLANBADARN-FAWR.—SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE. -On the 9th inst., Pryse Pryse, Esq., of Gogerddan, forwarded to the Rev. John Pugh, Vicar of Llan- badarn-fawr, theisum of £10 to be distributed among the poor of his parish as he might think fit. We may conclude from Mr. Pryse's continual charitable acts that he has christianly made up his mind to share his riches, with which the Almighty has so bountifully blessed him, with the poorer class of his fellow-creatures when really in need. What he and his good lady give away every year in money, flan- nel, coals, education, &e., is enormous. These good deeds ought to be recorded, not to puff up the donors, but to arouse others, possessing wealth, to follow the same good example, in order that they and their wealth may be a blessing to their eountry. May they be long spared to do good in their neighbour- hood. SHIP LAUNCHES.—On Monday morning hundreds of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood availed themselves of the fineness of the day to pro- ceed to Tanycae to witness the launch of the greatly admired clipper-built brig, Elizabeth, which was to be launched from the building slip of Mr. Edward James. At the appointed time, Mrs. Thomas David Jones, of Pier-street, stepped on a platform, and having gracefully and appropriately gone through the ceremony of christening and wishing success to the Elizabeth," the dogshores were knocked off, and im- mediately the vessel, descended slowly, but success- fully, into her briny element, amongst the hearty congratulations and vehement cheering of the nu- merous assemblage congregated together upon the occasion. The Elizabeth carries about 300 tons, is the property of Thomas Jones, Esq., and is to be commanded by Mr. William Edwards, late of the brig Credo," and is intended for the Mediteranean trade. On Tuesday morning a neat and well- finished schooner, of about 150 tons, was also success- fully launched from the slip of Messrs. Williams and Jones. She was named the Native by the eldest son of Richard Roberts, Esq., merchant, of this town. She is to be commanded by Mr. Edward Jones, late of the "Two Brothers," for whom she was built, and is destined for general trading. THE REV. DANIEL ROWLANDS.—A meeting for the purpose of taking steps for raising a monument to the renowned Daniel Rowlands, of Llangeitho, the "Whitneld of Wales," was held at the Tabernacle Chapel, on Monday evening last, which was presided over by the Mayor. The intention of the promoters of the movement is to raise a marble statue of the venerable apostle in some central spot at Llangeitho, his native place, and the scene of his invaluable labours. The project, though only just mooted, has been taken up most warmly by all to whom it has been made public, his native place being foremost in coming forward in its favour. As this town has been selected as the head quarters of the movement, the meeting on Monday evening was held to give the project a start, and addresses on behalf of it were delivered by the chairman, Mr. Griffiths, the well- known London correspondent of Baner Cymru, (the originator of the undertaking,) the Rev. Griffith Davies, Mr. John Williams, Mr. Richard Roberts, Mr. John Matthews, and Mr. David Jones, N. P. Bank. Resolutions in unison with the object of the meeting, and a list of officers to carry it into imme- diate effect, were also passed unanimously. A cor- dial vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding, and for his constant services on public occasions, terminated the proceedings. As the effects of the ministry of the above celebrated evangelist has been felt so uni- versally throughout our country, it is intended that the subscription towards commemorating his labours shall be a national one, all classes and denominations will be appealed to, so as to raise something worthy of one to whom Wales is so much indebted. We understand that a guarantee has been given for £ 100 from this town and adjoining districts towards the expense of the undertaking.

----TO THE EDITOR OF THE ABERYSTWITH…
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ABERYSTWITH OBSERVER. Sm,- Your correspondent of "Rheidol Cottage" on the "New Year" in your last week's impression, must possess a very mistaken notion of poetry; all he seems to aim at producing is, a number of couplets without a spark of poetry. He commences thus One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three is now for ever past. This is quite true, though somewhat prosaically expressed. The next line is a repetition of this nearly, with a different ending, so as to rhyme with past, thus "One thousand eight hundred and sixty-foar will fly away as fast" This does not appear to be so happy, since however fast 1863 passed, 1864 being a leap year must be 24 hours longer. But 24 hours may be certainly put down to a poetic licence, and consequently pardon- able. The poet goes on to speak of scenes holding a. "pace" of "suns and stars expiring," and concludes with a praiseworthy determination, coupled with a prayer, "Oh let me well improve my time, then let me die in peace." Now, Sir, however willing we, on our own part, would be to grant the poet this last wish, we think it our duty to expose his doggrel verses. We have read of changing scenes and dissolving views, but never before of scenes oj holding an equal pace. Equally incorrect is it to say that suns and stars expire." Dryden has — The chaff d boar; his nostrils flames expire, And his red eye-balls roll with living fire." And we have also heard of the expiring organs but we can hardly predicate expiring of the sun. Light may be extinct, and fire quenched, but not expired. We could have a few minutes recreation in discussing other licences of the poet, such as "awful" applied to virtue, change of metre, &c., &c but in pity to his last appeal, requiescat in pace. I remain, Sir, Your obedient Servant, W. R. 0.

HOLLOWAT IS OINTMENT AND FILLS. Gratifying Results.—The merest blotch upon the skin, and the deepest ulceration of the flesh, yield to the detergent and healing properties of this celebrated Ointment. Bad legs, burns, eruptions of the skin, and scrofulous sores, can be cured with facility by the proper use of this Ointment, aided by Holloway's purifying Pills. Under this treatment the foulest ulcers become clean, and in a few days florid granulations appear, which gradually grow and fill up the cavity with firm and healthy flesh No relapse need be feared since the sore is not slightly skinned over, but built up from its bottom with the best materials producible from pure blood, steady circulation, and invigorated vessels.

SOCIAL CLUB.
SOCIAL CLUB. THE anniversary dinner of this very old club, which already numbers nearly two centuries of its existence, was held on Friday, the 8th instant, at the Royal Belle Vue Hotel. The chair was taken at 7 o'clock by Theodore Paul, Esq., supported by the Lord Lieu- tenant, John Roberts, Esq., acting as vice-chair- man, (who is, we believe, the father of the club). The members and their guests, 27 in number, sat down to one of the very best dinners the club had ever been provided with, everything being done regardless of expense to make the evening one of social enjoyment. The cloth being removed, the usual loyal toasts were duly proposed by the chairman, And responded to by -all present. The health of the Lord Lieutenant and M P. for the Cardiganshire boroughs was proposed and res- ponded to with cheers. The Lord Lieutenant in returning thanks spoke highly in praise of these social gatherings, and trusted the old club would survive anbther century. The health of Col. Powell M.P. for the county was proposed and drank. The health of the Earl of Lisburne and the agri- cultural interest followed The health of Pryse Pryse, Esq., of Gogerddan, the tenant farmers' friend, was proposed and drank with considerable enthusiasm, which he responded to with great feeling. Capt. Pryse proposed the town and trade of Aber- ystwith, wishing it every success. Mr. John Roberts, jun., returned thanks. The Gogerddan Hunt Club was warmly responded to by Capt. Pryse, who hoped the Gogerddan family would always promote a sport which, for social advantages in bringing people together, was worthy the support of all. The toast of the evening, "Success to the Social Club" was vociferously drank, the club song fol- lowing. The volunteers being proposed by the vice-chair- man, was very forcibly replied to by Sergeant-Major Smith, who briefly referred to the great success which the movement had attained, and hoped it would con- tinue an institution of the country, and of this town in particular, appealed to the support of those who could assist by the purse, the sinews of war being the greatest difficulty the Aberystwith rifle corps had to contend with. The healths of the chairman and vice-chairman being very warmly proposed, was responded to with much cheering. The mining interest was proposed and responded to by Mr. Balcombe. The shipping interest being proposed, was respon- ded to by Mr. Thomas Jones. The mayor and corporation was responded to (in the absence of the mayor,) by Mr. J. Jones Atwood. After numerous toasts had been disposed of, the thanks of the club were given to the new proprietor of the Royal Belle Vue Hotel, for the costly and handsome entertainment provided for them. Mr. Pell briefly returned thanks. The members and their guests present were— Thtodore Paul, Esq., (chairman); John Roberts, Esq., (vice-chairman); Capt. E. L.

:.. HISTORICAL NOTES.
HISTORICAL NOTES. ST. PAGANS-CONTINUED. The following official reports of the battle of St. Fagans, sent from the field of battle by Generals Thomas Horton and John Okey, has a local as well as a historic interest- To the Right Hon. The Earl of Manchester, speaker of the House of Peers pro tempore. "My Lord,-God hath this day rewarded our wearisome marches with a full and glorious victory over an enemie who hath used much ability, sub- tility, and diligence to engage the kingdome in a new war; they had increased by a great number by the addition of divers disbanded men from England, and a general conjunction of most able bodied inha- bitants of the counties of Pembroke, Caermarthen, Cardigan, and many of Glamorgan. This day about nine of the o'clock, it pleased God that wee engaged with them at a place called St. Fagons, three miles distant from Cardiffe, and for near two hours had a very hot dispute, at length by God's mercy they were put to a total route, many slaine upon the place, and about three thousand prisoners, great store of arms and ammunitions, and many colours. The enemy accounted themselves eight thousand horse and foot, which makes the mercy more remarkable. My Lord, the Almighty was pleased greatly to strengthen both our officers and souldiers, in discharge of their duties, with much resolution and cheerfulness, but with one heart they desire that the honour of this work may be wholly given to God. Tliis account I held myself bound to present your Lordship with, to be communicated to the Right Honourable the House of Peers. My Lord, "Your most humble and faithful servant, "THOMAS HORTON. "In the Field near St. Fagons, 8 May, 1648." "SIR,—Hitherto, until this day, I could not give you a good account of our Welsh expeditions, we have had so many obstructions, through unseason- able weather, rugged ways, want of necessaries and other inconveniences, that we may say these things —' Except the Lord was with us, they had swallowed us up quick.' But besides this, we had attending on us a numerous armie before us, and behind us a great partie; wee divers wayes sought an opportu- nity to fight with them, which until this instant we could never do, they before taking always the advantage of their Welsh ways and hills and rivers. This posture they continued until divers of our soulders were wearied out, and both foote and horse so far spent, as the enemie himself knew his great advantage over us; and out of that consideration, having mightily increased ours, his arrnie and wee, though all these inconveniences somewhat decreased ours, hee on the eighth of this instant, about 8 of the clocke in the forenoon, proffered us the battle. Wee seeing his number, and hee being upon us before wee were well aware of him, quitted our pre- sent station, which was at St. Fagons, the enemy drew into the place of our guards; but wee being very loth to retreat upon a little hill near St. Fa- gons, made good our ground, drew up our armie, faced the enemie, a forlorne hope of horse and draggoons was drawn up under the command of Lieut. Godfrey and another forlorne hope of foote, under the command of a lieutenant of foote Next they marched 160 firelocks uuder the command of Captaine* Garland. In the right wing marched Colonel Okey, with three troops of horse, and three troops of draggoons. In the maine body marched Colonel Horton, Cowmant'er"in~Chiefe. In the left flank marched the horse under the command of Major Barton with some draggoons. The body being thus drawn up the for-lorne hope of horse advanced, and fell immediately into a ground where 500 of the enemies of foote and some horses lined the hedges. Lieut. Godfrey, with a forlorne hope of horse, immediately charged them, routed them, and killed some of them. Col. Okey upon this taking the advantage of the enemies miming, com- manded presently Captaine Garland with firelocks, Captain Mercer with a commanded party of drag- goones, and some horse to second the forlorne hope. These falling into another ground where the ene- mie was lining the hedges, drove them from hedge to hedge, and pursued them. "The enemie in this retreat having so many reserves of foot at every hedge, hee makes a stay and a new party. Still Col. Okey commanded th party both of firelocks and draggoons and horse to advance the enemie, having a numerous armie foote, still ever and anon sends fresh reserves; but at the end be was beate by this partie or foote and horse to a water, and from thence over a river, where again he made good his ground. There the dispute lasted a long while till our body of foote and horse advanced; where the horse with the foote making way, and charging with the foote on the musketeers. Through the goodness of God, after an hour's dispute, they were put to the rout. Wee pursued, took divers prisoners—the number as yet unknown, and the quality; wee heare some of tl men of quality both killed and taken this for tl present in brief. We can give you an account th: there were farre more prisoners taken than tl number of our armie was; so that we can all sa; "God hath done great things for us." Captain Nicholefts and Cornet Okey were both shot throng their hats, but free from any other part. No mot for the present. I take my leave and remain yot servant to command, "JOHN OKEY, "From the field at St. Faguns, this 8th of May, 1648." These commanders, although they pretended t be very religious in their despatches, were highl elated with the carnage and slaughter that too place in the field of battle, which was at varianc with their profession. Such language, as that mad use of hy Col. Okey under such circumstances wa bordering on blasphemy. We have, in our days another specimen of the same canting languag made use of by people who call themselves Chris tians. Of all cants the cant of hypocrisy is tho worst. It is enough to make us shudder, when wi think of so many human beings sent to appea before their maker during those unhappy times, anc all under the cloak of religion! War is bonourabh when people defend their native rights, their sword, are harriers between the lawless spoiler and tilt weak; hut it is highly dishonourable, when men draw the offensive blade to obtain power and gain. He! who once has mingled in The carnage, who'has lain The live-long night in aching thirst, Alive among the slain- Will shndder at the name of war; And curse the hand which draws His sword for empty glory, or To serve a selfish cause. JOHN ROWLANDS, (Giraldus.) Dinas Powis, Glamorgan.
- "I'M SORRY THE BEAUTIFUL…
"I'M SORRY THE BEAUTIFUL SUMMER IS GONE." "I'M sorry the beautiful Summer is gone," Were the words of a fretful child I'm sorry the meadows are cover'd no more With daisies and butter-cups wild: I'm sorry the birds have forsaken their nests In the hedges and trees among And no sound, as we wander abroad, Do we hear of their blithe merry song. I'm sorry the beautiful Summer is gone," Were the words of a withered old man, When the days of his youth had smoothly gone past, And left him unhappy and wan. 0, my childhood, my childhood, that bountiful time, When all was but sunshine and joy, Would again it would come, how much better Fd live, Oh I would every moment employ." "I'm sorry the beautiful Summer is gone," Was the dying whisper of one, When the course of her life, its joys and regrets, Its pleasures and pains, was just run Alas I permitted its moments to pass Without laying in winter's store. Oh, terrible thought! I allow'd life to haste And ne'er thought of my death-bed before. I'm sorry the beautiful Summer is past," Will soon be the words of us all, When the time that's allotted us here has gone by, And Death's shadows over us fall: Oh, then, like the ant, shall we have laid up A store for the wintry day— Shall we have obtained a bright prospect at last Of a life that will ne'er pass away.
