He is often accompanied by friends, who are also visitors, and whose pleasure is much enhanced by these occasional outings, when fishing, &c., is carried on. If a few more gentlemen, equally as liberal as Mr Smith, would visit thejtown much good would result.

With the present upward tendency of land, &c., in the market, Mr Rogers has every prospect of a brisk and spirited bidding, and probably good prices will be realised. THE LONDON WELSH WESLEYANS.—A bazaar in aid of the building fund of the new chapel of the London Welsh Wesleyans, which is now in coarse of erection in the City-road, at an outlay of .610,000, was opened on Tuesday at the Cannon-street Hotel.

Rogers has now on view at his auction mart, Terrace-road, a splendid assortment of paintings in oil and water colour, which will well repay a visit. They are all by masters, such as Sibley and others, and every one has a peculiar merit of its own. Most of them depict country scenery, and many of them would be familiar to the eye of the tourist through Cardiganshire and Carnarvonshire. There is one pleasant little bit of scenery to be found near Cardigan, transferred to canvass by the artist's brush; Llanbadarn past and present is there with exact effect. Some of the wild and romantic scenery to be found round Bettws-y-Cced may be purchased, as well as quieter bits of scenery to be found in England. They are also some of the best steel engravings of Gladstone and Bright we have ever seen, and well worth the price asked. We understand that Mr Rogers will hold a sale by auction of these paintings, &c., on Wednesday next. WELSH CONGREGATIONAL JUBILEE FUND.—The report ad interim of the Welsh Congregational fund has just been published, and contains a. tabulated statement showing the amount collected by each union towards liquidating the chapel debts. In Car- diganshire the amount of debt owing at Mareh, 1882, was .£3,076, and the amount paid up during the year ended March, 1883, was .£363; Nortkern Carnarvon- shire, debt £ 16,253, paid up £ 1,068; Western Car- narvonshire, £ 12,499; paid up £ 958; Denbighshire and Flintshire (incomplete return), X9,262, paid up .£315; Merionethshire, £9,607, paid up £ 617; Mont- gomeryshire, ..£9,607, paid up .£617. The total debt wa.s £ 182,902, and the amount paid up "£20,283, so that more than X20,000 has been paid during the year ending March, 1883, towards liquidating the debts resting on the Congregational chapels in Wales. MINING MACHINERY.—Mr George Green has recently returned from Asia Minor, where he has been visiting an extensive silver lead mine in which he has erected machinery for the dressing of the ores produced there. The ore, as it was brought to the surface, was principally composed of a rich silver lead strongly impregnated with iron pyiites, which it was thought almost impossible to separate from the lead. The machinery erected by Mr Green has, however, accomplished this difficulty, and has been in opera- tion a little over two months,and the mine is now pro- ducing silver lead ore at the rate of nine or ten tons per day ready for shipment, the result giving complete satisfaction to the director and the representative of I the company who accompanied Mr Green to the mine. We also understand that Mr Green has nearly com- pleted another large order, which, in a few days, will be ready for shipment to Spain. Thus considerable trade is being brought into the town, and much of the money is earned and spent here to the benefit of the public generally. CALVINISTIC METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS.— The annual meetings in connection with the Sunday schools in this district were held on Wednesday and Thursday, when there were fairly large attendances. On Wednesday evening, the first meeting was held at Shiloh, when the Rev Thomas Edwards, Cwmyst- wyth, presided, and addresses were delivered by the chairman, the Rev Morgan Ellis, Dyffryn, Goginan, and the Rev Principal Edwards. Oa Thursday meaning, a meeting was held at Tabernacle, for the purpose of awarding the certificates and prizes to those children who had best acquitted themselves in the catechism. In the afternoon, at Shiloh, the children were questioned on the history of St Paul, by Mr Morris, Taliasin, and Mr Davies, Erglodd, and an address was delivered by Rev Professor Henry Jones, M.A. In the evening, the united schools met at the Tabernacle, and were catechised in the 16th chapter of the Instructor (HyfforddzvrN, the subject being the Resurrection, by the Rev David Morgan, Penllwyn, aiad the Rev Principal Edwards, and a short address by the Rev Griffith Parry. The superintendents of the various schools met at Shiloh in the afternoon of Wednesday, and in the morning of Thursday at Shiloh, to discuss matters revelant to Sunday school work.
SALE OF FREEHOLD PROPERTY.
SALE OF FREEHOLD PROPERTY. On Monday Mr David Thomas, Carmarthen,offered two valuable lots of freehold property for sale by auction at the Lion Hotel, by order of Mr Justice Kay in the High Court of Justice. There was a large attendance, and the amounts paid for the properties again show that the value of property is steadily in. creasing.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-As the I seasons change, the climatic variations warn us all to be care- tul, most especially is iL incumbent on the ag3d, prone to bron- "hital attacks, outward ulcerations, and similar debilitating disorders, to have them removed, or worse consequences will follow. These reme'dies are their sheet anchors; on their powers all may confidently rely. The Ointment not simply puts their sores out of sight, but extirpates the source of mis- chief, extracts the corroding poison, and stimulates nature to I fill up the ulcer with sound, healthy granulations, that will abide through life. Under this treatment bad legs soon be- come sound, scorbutic skins cast off their scales, and scrofu- lous sores cease to annoy. Sttch hope for the diseased was unknown in former days.

J. MUNDBLLA. Samuel Morley, Esq., M.P. The Rev D Silvan Evans, B.D., has resigned the Welsh professorship at tbe University College of Wales, which he had held for the last eight years.

Roberts, William Lloyd, and A. Owen, awting clerk.-Two persons named Thomas Roberts and John Jones, of Towyn, having refused to allow the inspector to visit their premises. it was decided to obtain a magisterial orper. Notice of motion was given for the le- appointment of the present inspector, at the same salary. Mr P. H. Hughes, surveyor, was instructed to do certain work at Penhelig and on the Tymawr road, and his report was considered satisfactory. It was unanimously agreed to sign a memorial on behalf of the retention of the College at Aberystwyth. ST PETER'S CHURCH.—A meeting of the Vicar, churchwardens and sidesmen was h..ld at the vestry room, at eight p.m., .of the 13th iost., to consider the changes which the RevE. T. Davies, B.A., pro- posed in the Sunday services, also, the anniversary which is to take place on St Peter's day, the 29th inst., when the Revs Canon Griffiths, B.D., Mach- ynlleth Williams, Llangeler; and Davies, St John's, Swansea, will be the preachers. The Vicar of Llangeler will preach at ?even p.m. on Thursday. The changes on Sundays are to be henceforth, in- stead ot Welsh service at 10 a.m., it will commence at 9.45 a.m., and the English service commences at 11 a.m. At 4 p.m. there will be an additional English service which did not use to be before, and the Welsh service at 6 p.m. as uoual. An English service is held every Wednesday eveninsr, the 13th inst being the first. There is a flourishing Sunday school held at the National school (about the best in the diocese) belonging to the Church of England. Mr J. Lloyd-Tamberlaio, the Vicar's warden, is the superintendent. He takes very great interest in- deed in everything connected with the church and its prosperity in the parish. The present Vicar meaus work. His grand aim and point is to save souls—to bring his parishioners to the knowledge of the gospel of Christ, to make them living stones in the great building of which our Saviour is the head corner stone. His popularity was great in Liverpool, which the various testimonials which be received on different occasions prove. He has al. ready won the affections of his present parishioners, and I doubt not but be will be quite as popular at Aberdovey as he was at Liverpool ere long.- WATEBMAW. ——-

THE PULPIT AND THE PRESS.
THE PULPIT AND THE PRESS. The Rev JOHN JONES, pastor of the English Presbyterian church, in his sermon on Sunday morning, paid a high tribute of respect for the work done by the Press in endeavouring to in- duce men to form what he termed "New Testa- ment characters," but rather quafified the tribute by stating that there was often a danger of writers using the axe instead of the pruning knife, or the pruning sknife when the axe was needed. M uch has been said and written of the power of these two powerful factors in the world—the Pulpit and the Press, and it is often a subject for warm debate which of the two exercises the greatest influence in the world in the present day but without desiring to enter on this controversial ground, we may with perfect safety hazard the remark that both influences, combined with the Platform, has done much in making our country what it is to- day-the greatest, the noblest, and the freest, country. The pulpit is by no means free from errors; men of bad judgment, bad taste, and with but a small modicum of common sense and insight into human feeling and frailties, quite out of sympathy and harmony with those over whom they minister, often find their way thither; they are utterly incapable of using either the pruning knite or the axe aiight; in fact either of them are but dan- gerous tools in their hands, with which they stunt the growth of healthy morals and Christian virtues by their bigotry and their idrosyncracies in doctrine. But such cases now are not numerous; the march of education has had its effect in the pulpit as well as in the pew, or perhaps it would be more correct to say that education in the pew is revealing its effect in the pulpit, where such spiritual food as that supplied within the memory of some of us would not now be tolerated. The Religion of the present day, without being elastic or pliable, must be broad, philanthropic, aad all- embracing it must be practical as well as theological. These are views which we know to be quite in keeping with those held by the Rev Mr JONES, and, indeed, experience tells us they are in consonance with tho&e held and practised by the clergymen and ministers of this iown and neighbourhood as a whole. The one great cry against the Pulpit of the present day is that it does not reach the masses 5 religion has become too respectable. Statistics prove that this charge is not groundless, and it is the duty of the clergy—Established and Nonconformist—to add ress themselves to its removal. It is a charge at any rate which cannot be brought against the Press, which annually sends forth its millions of messengers, which' are read by innumerable readers, either for good or for evil. It is a generally admitted fact that the Press, secular as well as re- ligious, is doing a great work, and the Church should be very jealous to ascertain vhether it is not doing much that pastors and members are in duty bound to undertake, but from their present isolated condition from the people are utterly incapable of compassing. It is for the good of the nation that the Pulpit and the Press should work harmoniously in conducing to habits of thrift, morality, and usefulness. We believe this to be the aim of the secular Press, whether the axe, or the knife be freely used, while we also believe the desire and prayer of the Pulpit to be to combine to make men and women good, useful citizens, and to further lead them to live lives which shall ensure their citizenship in a higher and nobler state than that which they here enjoy. The Rev DANIEL JONES, vicar of Lampeter, who preached at St Michael's on Sunday, also referred to the Press.

The Promenade Pier Concerts will com- mence on Monday. Mr Handley's band will arrive in the town this evening, and will commence playing on Monday. ——— The Rev Professor Silvan Evans, who has held the appointment of Professor of Welsh at the University College of Wales for eight years, has resigned. It is Professor Evans' intention to devote the whole of his time not occupied with parochial duties at Llanwrin to the completion of his Welsh and English Dic- tionary—the great object of his life—which will soon be placed in the hands of the printer. Last week we were able to artnouyifce that Lord Carlingford would shortly receive a deputation on behalf of the College. His Lordship has since appointed the afternoon of Monday next for the purpose. The deputation, which promises to be a large one, will be intro- duced by Lord Aberdare, who will also state the claims of the College. The London Com- mittee will be represented by Mr S. Morley, M.P., and other influential gentlemen. Aber- wiil be locally represented, Colonel Pryse, Lord Lieutenant, Alderman Jones, mayor, Mr Vaughan Davies, Mr Fryer, Alderman Wil- liams, Mr John James, and Mr Peter Jones having beea appointed to attend. The calamitous affair, by which nearly two hundred children lost their lives, at Sunderland an Saturday evening, has caused a thrill of horror to run through the heart of the British nation, and it is also unparalleled in the history of our country. Accidents of a heartrending character have before occurred in and around Sunderland, where men in large numbers have at intervals lost their lives in the mines and different works in the neighbourhood, and many deeds of heroism have been recorded but never has a calamity more dire, lamentable, and appalling occurred than this one, which has cast the shadow of sorrow and despair over so many homes. It requires no great stretch of the imagination to understand with what feeling of pleasure these innocent little victims were enjoying the entertainment provided for them by the Fay's, and with what delight they rushed helter skelter to share in the prize- giving, quite unconscious of the terrible doom to which so many of them were hastening. As we read the particulars as they are from day to day reported, many touching and pathetic incidents are brought to light, revealing in some cases the joyous and delightful influence of home-life by which they were surrounded, and in various ways disclosing the inner life of even the humblest families in the land to be such of which we as a nation may well feel proud. Terrible as the calamity has been, it will not be without its results; the many expressions of sorrow and sympathy from the Royal household down which have reached the bereaved ones in Sunderland, are re-echoed by every family in the land, throughout the British dominions, and far beyond, and will find expression around thousands of hearths, and will knit closer and closer family ties, and expand human sym- pathies to those around us. A searching inves- tigation as to the circumstances leading to the terrible event, which can scarcely be called an aqcident, will no doubt lay bear the whole facts of the hidebus drama, and be the result what it may, Saturday, June 15th, 1883, will- be handed down as one of the darkest days in the pages of English history.
,CELLAN, LAMPETER. !
CELLAN, LAMPETER. A fairly 88ccesaful and a well-attended concert was given at the National schoolroom, Cellan, on the. 5th inst. The chief attraction was "Caradog," who was in his usual good ''hwyl" with the violin. He was assisted by local talent such as Messrs. T. Price Ffaldybrenin; J. Williams, Coednaore Board school; W. Davies, Farmers Board school; D. Jenkins, Llanfair board school; J. Williams, Cellan; the Lampeter, Cellan, and Llanfair glee parties, and the Lampeter drum and fife band. Special mention might be made of the following :—"GIcritt", Caradog and Miss Jones; "Bank Holiday," J. Williams, C.M.; "See our oars," Cellan and Llan- fair party (mixed); and the various glees by Lam- poter party. Rev J. Jones, presided, Rev T Thomas, conducted, and Miss Jones, Lampeter, was the accompanist. The proceeds, which amounted to £ 20, were devoted to erecting a foot bridge across the Teify.
CORRIS.
CORRIS. On Tuesday evening, the 19th inst., Mr W. Caradog Jones, of New Quay, was ordained pastor, of the Congregational church at Corris. Professor M. D. Jones, Bala College, gave the charge to the church the usual questions, to which Mr Jones furnished most suitable answers, were asked by the Rev J. Owen, Llanegryn, who afterwards offered prayer. The Rev T. P. Evans, Pontardulais, de- livered the charge to the young minister. Mr Jones has received his education at the Bala theological college, and is a very promising yoaag man. We believe he will be an acquisition to the church and neighbourhood.
