THE WEATHER, AGRICULTURE, AND THE CORN TRADE. The Mark-lane Express says—"Prospects do not brighten as we approach the spring-time, the .1 arrears of ground work being unusually heavy, aild a large amount of wheat is still unsown, with a great portion destroyed by the incessant rains, ynless the weather improves, other crops will be delayed in the planting, and but a poor lookout Presents itself to agriculturalists. The grass iands, however, look unusually green, and a good £ r°p of hay seems promised. The markets still *eep mostly dull at previous rates, with rather In ore firmness than was exhibited in the previous' ^eek. The small supplies sent lately to London have fared worse than if kept at home but consumption is going on, and, should the empty Stockyards be backed by froward weather, unless Overwhelming foreign supplies come upon us, it seems reasonable to expect that prices will take a start. The late buoyancy of the Paris markets had a slight check, but this has not reached the country markets. Holland, Hungary, Russia, and Germany in some places note higher rates. 11 At San Francisco and New York prices have Unproved. We may, therefore, continue at a fix 48 respect prices and state of business."

THE LORD BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH IN MANCHESTER. On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph Preached two sermons at St. Mary's Church, eansgate, Manchester. The morning service in English, his lordship taking his text from Yiatt. ix. 36, "But when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them, because hey fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep aving no shepherd." At the evening service Welsh sermon was also preached by him from ^zekiel xi. 16, "Therefore say, Thus saith the God: Although I have cast them far off Qiong the heathen, and although I have scattered "em among the countries, yet will I be to them httle sanctuary in the countries where they shall corne." The rector, the Rev. T. L. Beddoes, Ll.D., Bad the prayers and lessons on both occasions, he sermons were excellent and were listened to °at attentively by very large congregations—in act, the largest congregation of Welsh that was ]VeJ known in Manchester. It is hoped that his J^dship will, ere long, pay another visit to St. Gary's.

THE INCREASED COST OF PRODUC- TION OF NEWSPAPERS. (From the Printer's Register.) of The enormous increase in the price of all kinds Printing materials raises a serious question tyitK sooner or later have to be grappled s+ h; and we believe that, under the circum- sooner the better. The question is, bri is feasible and practicable that the ton °f the Penny daily shall be increased in rpi Portion to the augmented cost of production. Wetitlle exPenses of tlie daily and many of the ejciy pregs haye lately increased from twenty- H to thirty per cent, is beyond a doubt, but allv PfP6r ProPrietors shrink—and not unnatur- thJ rom raising the price of their papers from BUm tll0doX Penny to tiie generally unheard-of grSi °if, ^ree-halfpence. What with paper PetiV 7 continued increasing com- ttle *°r t^ie latest newss higher wages to work- alrrf' shorter hours, we believe it will be fai °-St imPossrt>le for a penny paper to return a ci r Merest on its capital without some radical Change being made. The charge for advertisements Sev • advanced, and the agents' profits in instances have been somewhat curtailed, c0llr^e^her of these plans has been sufficient to erbalance the constantly increasing expen- obvi What, then, is to be done? It is tolerably ^Ue fS t0-US ^atif the penny dailies are to con- Hivjgt ^0 exist, some considerable alteration in size that th Place' ^deed, there are indications ahd th T iQUst ?ease to appear at a penny, and a. at t e price of the full-sized eight page i £ yen have to be increased to three-halfpence. ear7>; ,suPP°sing the last-named measure were L out> the English daily papers would still j cheapest in the world—quality considered. ttiust be remembered that the penny paper finally consisted of only four pages, at a time en the cost of production was not nearly so reat as it is now. It is, of course, impossible L say what effect the change of price would jou' but we are of opinion that the leading daily atio^?als would have no cause t0 regret the alter- ed v 8UpposinS a simultaneous step were taken, VouM are also of opinion that the public generally a prnnf 0t*murmur after the first few weeks.

DENBIGHSHIRE. A correspondent writes, "The Devonport Con- servatives having requisitioned Mr. J. Puleston to keep his promise to become a candidate for that borough, it is thought he will decline the invitation to contest Denbighshire. The Con- servative party in Denbighshire are therefore on the look out for a second candidate. Likely men are Mr. Hughes, of Kinmel, or Col. Tottenham. Should a second candidate be brought out, it is most probable that the Liberals will ask Mr. Cornwallis West, lord-lieutenant of the county, to fight in conjunction with Mr. Osborne Morgan, Q.C. At a meeting of Denbighshire Conservatives, held in Chester on Saturday, Mr. J. H. Puleston formally acceded to the requisition that he should contest with Mr. Osborne Morgan the representation of the county of Denbigh. It is stated that Mr. J. H. Puleston, who on Saturday consented to contest in the Conserva- tive interest the county of Denbigh against Mr. Osborne Morgan, has reconsidered his position, and will withdraw his candidature, the sitting member, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, being opposed to the policy of the Conservatives in fighting for both seats.

WALES AND THE GOVERNMENT DEFEAT. Our readers will naturally feel anxious to know how the vV('hh members stood in the important parliamentary division by which the Gladstone Ministry was defeated on Tuesday night week. The division list shows that the following members voted for the Government :-From North Wales, eight, viz., Mr. Richard Davies, Mr. Love Jones-Parry, Mr. G. Osborne Morgan, Mr. Watkin Williams, Mr. Samuel Holland, Mr. Hanbury Tracy, Sir Robert Cunliffe, and Lord Richard Grosvenor. From South Wales, twelve, viz., Mr. E. Mathew Richards, Mr. Sartoris, Mr. Henry Richard. Mr. Fothergill, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Vivian, Col. Stuart, Sir John Ramsden, Sir John Stepney, Lord Kensington, and the Marquis of Hartington. Two Welsh members paired for the Government, viz., the Hon. W. O. Stanley and Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, who is now in Rome. Against the Government there were two votes from North Wales, viz., Sir W. W. Wynn and Mr. C. W. W. Wynn; and three votes from South Wales, viz., Hon. A. Walsh, Mr. Octavius Morgan, and Mr. John Jones. Five Welsh members did not vote at all; and of these one was a Liberal, viz., Sir Thomas D. Lloyd; the other four being Conservatives, viz., Mr. Gwyn Holford, Mr. Meyrick, Col. Somerset, and Mr. J. H. Scourfield. Thus out of the twenty-three Welsh Liberal representa- tives, twenty voted for Government, two paired, and one abstained altogether from voting. And out of the nine Conservative members from the Principality, five voted against Government, and four were absent from the division. Wales, therefore, gave Mr. Gladstone what may be con- sidered (including pairs) as twenty-two votes, and against his measure, five votes. Mr. Whalley, who resides at Plas Madoc, Ruabon, went against Government, which is somewhat surprising, seeing that he is a Liberal; that his sympathies are Protestant, and that the hon. gentleman would probably view Mr. Disraeli's policy of "concurrent endowment"- which the leader of the Opposition made such a parade of in his speech on Tuesday-with distaste. But it is charitable to suppose that the member for Peterborough was not willing to be a party to the acceptance of a sop of £15,000 by Trinity College for teaching theology as the seminary of the disestablished Irish Church, if the Roman Catholics got anything at all. He would have the whole cake or none, and in this strange crisis, in which Liberals and Conservatives, and Con- servatives and Liberals coalesced, and parties were broken up—disintegrated, in fact-the division of Tuesday found Mr. Whalley stranded in the wrong lobby, in the goodly company of a number of Irish Roman Catholic members, Liberal and Conservative. Mr. Whalley may think himself fortunate he does not represent a Welsh constituency.-Sir Edmund Buckley, who resides near Dinas Mawddwy, also voted against Government but he is a Conservative, and Conservatives are not used to defection from their party, for the only Conservative who threw in his lot with the Government was Lord Elcho but the I Daily News,' in referring to Lord Elcho as a Conservative, parenthetically says, if he is to be so ranked."

Josh Billings was asked, How fast does sound travel?" His idea is that it depends a good deal upon the noise you are talking about. "The sound of a dinner-horn, for instance, travels half a mile in a second; while an invita- tion taw git up in the morning, I have known to be 3 quarters uv an hour goin' two pair of stairs, and then not hov strength enuff left to heard." THE DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of this association will be held at Mold, on Saturday, April 5th. COMPLEMENTARY CONCERT.-On Friday evening last, a concert' was given in Wrexham, for the benefit of Mr. R. Anderson, the well-known local comic singer. APPOINTMENT.—Mr. George Moore, who has been reporter on the staff of the Wrexham Guardian for about three years, has been appoin- ted to a similar post on the Birmingham Morning News. THE MILITARY CENTRE.-The site for the military centre, in Wrexham, has this week been inspected by Captain Jones, of Chester, accom- panied by two others belonging to the corps of Sappers and Miners. CHANGE OF SCENE.—Sir. W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P., voted in the division, which took place in the House of Commons, at half-past one on Wednesday morning, and a few hours afterwards, the worthy baronet was on the hunting field, in the neighbourhood of Baschurch. LITERARY.—A new work entitled The life of Lloyd, first Lord Kenyon, Lord Chief Justice of England," is in the press, and will shortly be published by Messrs. Longman. It will contain a portrait of Lord and Lady Kenyon, from sketches by Sir Thomas Lawrence. The author is the Hon. G. T. Kenyon. WELSH AND THE LANGUAGE OF BRITTANY.—Last week, an address was delivered in the Holt Pres- byterian Church, by the Rev. James Williams, who resided in France for more than 29 years, on "The Manners, Customs, and Superstitions of the People of Brittany." He commenced by comparing the Welsh language with that of Brittany, and showed that more than half of the words in common use in both were similar. He (Mr. Williams), being a Welshman, was well understood by these people when he spoke in his native tongue on first going among them as a missionary. He next described the peculiar fashions in dress, and how the men wear their hair down to their waists. He next spoke of the marriages. They were all made by the parents, unknown to the children, and it was quite common to see two old farmers bargaining and shaking hands over a son and daughter's future nuptials in a public house on a market day, just as they would over selling a cow here, and the wedding would be arranged before the young people had ever seen each other. They were married in the town halls, and afterwards went to the church to receive a blessing. He had had several poorer people applying to him for the loan of the devil" for a few days, for what use he could not tell; but they believed, as he had a Protestant Bible, he was able to raise him. THE SMALL BIRDS PROTECTION ACT."—From and after Saturday, any vagabond lurking behind the garden fence with a stuffed chaffinch, a call- pipe, and a clap-net, may at once be taken before a magistrate and fined 5s., with an additional sum for each miserable captive in his possession. Any gamedealer who sells, or exposes for sale, the lean, broody birds, which have long been a disgrace to the market, may be fined 5s. for every bird of the duck or plover tribe on his counter. The matter is in the hands of the public, and we confidently promise them that if they will individually exert themselves to carry out the provisions of the act, the result in two years will be, to the owners of suburban residences, an accession of feathered songsters, whose notes from long disuse are forgotten, but which will add a charm to their country residences that can hardly be over-estimated; to the agriculturist and market gardener a costless riddance of mischievous insects; and to the housekeeper a reduction of 50 per cent. in the price of one of the greatest delicacies which come to table—wild fowls.—Land and Water.

COMMUNICATION WITH ABERAYRON. To the Editor of the (i Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,-From a paragraph which appeared in your paper we must, certainly, be a very slow and antiquaited people in the way of improvement. We have a Van, which conveys first, second, and third class passengers to and from Aberayron." First, ride all the way; second, walk up the hill; third, walk and push up the hill;" and, according to his idea, even our magistrates are conveyed in this primitive conveyance to and from the Quarter Sessions. If they happen to take a third class ticket, they experience a little hard labour themselves, in a journey of 32 miles, and can, consequently, sympathize with those they sit in judgment upon. How fortunate for the poor unfortunate criminals that such a state of things should exist. The paragraph referred to has appeared in all the English papers, and many a hard hit has been dealt to poor unfortu- nate Welshmen about the first, second, and third class passengers in Wales. Now, this is very unfair of an Englishman who, in the guise of a friend, pretends to supply the inhabitants of Cambria" with" news" to turn them to ridicule in the eyes of strangers. His statements should not pass unrefuted. Aberayron is the Sessions itown", but I never knew either magistrates or jurors go or return by this conveyance.-I am, yours, &c., VERITAS.

ST. DAVID'S EVE IN NEW YORK. To the Editor of the Llangollen Advertiser Sir,-I take the liberty of addressing a few words to you, concerning the celebration of St. David's Eve in New York. The Welsh residents of this city held their peculiar celebration of St. David's Ere, at the Welsh Presbyterian Church, in Thirteenth-street. The Rev. Dr. Powell presided. About eight hundred persons were present and sat down to a tea table, with all the old-fashioned, homely forms of etiquette and conviviality. The Rev. D. S. Davies made an entertaining address, and songs and recitations were rendered by others of the party. The leek was one of the prominent features and ornaments of the occasion. To conclude, the entire party joined in singing "Hen wlad fy nhadau," and then departed to their respective homes. Yours, &c., PRYCE BAMFORD. New York, March 1st.

To the Editor of the "Llangollen Advertiser." Dear sir,—Will you please allow me space in your valuable journal for the following stray notes. It has not been my habit to write much to the papers, but I don't mind trying my hand at the task, and if you will put this letter in the paper I shall be extremely obliged. The first thing I shall call the attention of your readers to is THE FORMATION OF AN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY IN LLANGOLLEN, which I am sure all will be glad to hear of. It was with great pleasure that I attended the meeting on Monday last, in the Town Hall, and from what I heard there, I think Mr. Garner and Mr. Craven deserve three hearty cheers for getting the matter up. I am rather of a rambling character, Mr Editor, and you must overlook some of the foolish things (if there are any) you might see in my letter. THE ELECTION OF THE LOCAL BOARD is about to take place, and Mr. Peter Davies has taken the voting papers round. He, of course, brought one to my house, and from it I see that there are nine persons proposed; but one has withdrawn, so there are only eight to go to the poll, as you might say. Three must go in and five must lose Who are the three that will go in is the question. Mr. Editor, I shall give you my opinion of each of them. The first on the paper is .Mr. Samuel Hughes, a man of no mean parts, who is sure to get in.—The next is Mr. J. Davies, Ty Coch, a man who has got a good deal in his head. I think he will get in.—The next is Mr. George Roberts, Unicorn. As he keeps rather quiet I do not know what sort of a man he is, but am very doubtful about his getting a seat on the Board.—Next comes Mr. Jones, the Mill, who is a man that would do a bit of good on the Board, taking him all in all. I think he will not be far from the bead of the poll.-The next on the paper is Mr. W. G. Smith, Bachau Issa. All I can say of him is that it would be a rather unex- pected thing if he were to get on the Board.-The next name is that of Mr. Samuel Pugh but on looking at the margin I find he has withdrawn.- It would not have been a very bad job if the names that are below his had withdrawn" written opposite them.—But I promised to remark upon them one by one. Well, next comes Mr. J. Thomas, who values 1' cheese parings and candle ends too highly to get on the Board.-The two next names are those of Mr. Charles Garrett, Cambrian Terrace, and Mr. Thomas Nicholas, cooper, but I am sorry to say that my acquain- tance is not sufficient to offer any opinion upon them. You must excuse the lengthiness of this epistle, Mr. Editor; but I hope you will push it in a corner of your paper. If it be impossible to put it in this week, place it in your waste paper bag, for it will be of no use next week. Your humble servant, RAMBLER. March 19th, 1873.

HIGHWAY RATES. To the Editor of the "Llangollen Advertiser." Sir,—I am given to understand that since the establishment of the Highway Board in this parish, the Collector's accounts have never been audited. If this be correct, it is really too bad. It is useless now to blame anyone, but I must say that it is a matter that ought to be attended to. Your obedient servant, RATEPAYER. March 20, 1873.

A WELSH DICTIONARY.—The Rev. D. Silvan Evans, rector of Llanymawddwy, Merioneth (says the North Wales Chronicle), has in prepara- tion a dictionary of the Welsh language, on which'he has been engaged for many years. To render this valuable and complete, the learned editor has collected some thousands of hitherto unregistered words occurring in printed and manuscript literature of Wales and orally collec- ted in different parts of the principality. Amongst other manuscripts, by the courtesy of Mr. W. W. E. Wynne, the unrivalled collection preserved at Peniarth, formerly known as the Hengwrt Library, has been placed at the editor's disposal. The co-operation of Welsh scholars is invfted to make the new dictionary complete.
