The Cambrian

EXTEMPORE. Admiring Nature in her wildest grace, Tii v scenes, 0 Cambria, I with rapture trace O'er many a winding vale and rugged steep, The haunt of covey'd grouse and timid sheep, My anxious way still constant I pursue Till fur-famed Milford opens to the view. The nodding cliff each deep-sunk glen divides, While corn luxuriant clothes their fertiis sides The out-stretched lake eiubosom'd 'mong the hilis. My soul with wonder and amazement tills. VIATOR.

To the EDITOR of-The CAMBRIAN. SIR, From an idea that the following Survey of the Parish of Mold is not foreign to the plan of your publication, and from a thorough conviction of the. utility of similar descriptions, if more generally adopted in the Princi- pality, I am induced to offer it for insertion, and trust it will not prove entirely unacceptable. I am, Sir, &c. Mold, Aug. 20, 1804. Ax INHABITANT. A SURVEY of the PARISH of MOLD, in the Countlj of fLIST, with a View to its TRADE, HISTORY, Poru- LATION, SFC, THE parish of Mold, or, as it is frequently written, Mould, lies on the confines of Flintshire towards Den- bigh shire, about eight miles from the city of Chester, and I is probably the most extensive in the county: it contains thirteen townships, has, in addition to the parish churcn, two chapels of ease, two dissenting meeting-houses, and a Roman Catholic chapel; and encloses in a circumference of above forty miles a population of about 6000 inhabi- tants. The scenery of this parish, from its agreeable di- versity, is particularly enchanting. A beautiful vale watered by the river Allen, well wooded, elegantly in- terspersed with a profusion of villages and gentlemen's seats, and delightfully fortified, though partially,, by ver- dant hills of a pleasant and unfatiguing ascent, united to the fascinating town of Mold raising its unambitious height on an easy eminence in the midst of the valley by the side of its sylvan fortress, (a) with the surrounding edifices of busy trade, complete a prospect truly inte- resting and picturesque. The air of the country, though frequently subject to wind, is sufficiently healthy to ensure the laborious inhabitant a mature old age: the soil is rich and fertile, yielding an abundant annual supply of corn and other grain, though not very congenial to the growth of orchard fruit, with which, however, it is boun- tifully furnished by the neighbouring country. From its mineral nature, coal and lead mines are wrought in this parish to a most surprising extent; with the former of which articles the adjaceit country to a considerable, dis- tance is almost wholly supplied by it. In addition to its mineral works, the parish likewise contains a large and handsome cotton factory, built about twelve years ago upon a very liberal scale, which keeps at a continual em- ploy above 300 persons, most of whom would otherwise, in all probability, have become burtheusome on the parish, or have lost the means of a comfortable subsistence from the want of a constant employment. There are besides a vast number of brick-works and potteries, which have of late years increased to a most extensive degree. In short, too much cannot be said in commendation of the laudable and enterprising spirit of the inhabitants of this parish, and I can only wish that their etforts may be crowned by a success commensurate with their zeal. As to the ancient history of this parish, we read that it was formerly a barony, in the possession of the Lords of Tvlonthault, whose residence was in a castle situate where the town now stands, (b) a fact, which may acquire ad- ditional corroboration from the circumstance of the present Irish Baron de Montalt deriving his title from this part of the country. In this parish also, about a mile from the town, that celebrated victory, styled the Victoria Alle- hurttica, (c) was obtained over the Saxons by the Britons under the command of Germanus and Lupus; the field, npoii which the battle was fought, retains to this day the aopellation of Macs Garmon, or Germanus' Field and, in commemoration of the victory, a pillar has been erected npon an adjoining mount with the following inscription — Ad Annum. ccccxx. Saxones Pictique bellum adversus Britones jonctis viribus'susciperunt In hac Regione, hodieque, Macs Garmon [ Appellata cum in pradio descenditur, Apostolofis Britonum ducibus Geriliano Et Lupo, Christus militabat in castris; Alleluia tertio repetum exclamabant, Hodic agmcn terrore pro sternitur.

TRANSLATION, In the year 430, The united forces of the Saxons and Picts waged war against the Britons when upon this spot, called Maes Garmon, Christ, with the Apostolical British Generals Germanus and Lupus, engages hi the combat. Three times repeating it They exclaim Alleluia the hostile troops are dismayed with tenor. The Britons triumph over their foes routed without biood-shad: and the victory is won not by arms, but by Christian faith. In commemoration of the Alldllian Victory, Nehemiah Griffith has erected this monument in the year 1/33. The inhabitants of this parish speak English to a very feneral extent, which, from their n»ar intercourse with England, has in some parts entirely supplanted the verna- cular tongue it is also worthy of remark, that there is (a) The Bailey, of which u future uolice mil be taacn.

I (d) Nehemiah Griffith, of Rhual, in this parish, Esq. not in the whole psrish -4m acre of unenclosed land; a' circumstance that MAY plead well for its agricultural pro- The town of Mold, situate, as has been previously mentioned, in the centre of a charming vale, consists principally of one spacious street, neatly built, and nearly' half a mile in extent, and contains about 2000 inhabitants. The ancient name of this town, or at least of the country immediately contiguous, was, in the time of the Romans, Montalto, and afterwards, when converted into a barony under the Normans, Moothault, ( c) appellations which, with the Welsh one of Wyddgrug, signifying, according to the best etymologists, a conspicuous moun it no doubt acquired from the hill near the town. This bill.is now called the Bailey, and the pmperty of Thomas Swymmer Champneys, Esq. the present Lord of the Manor of Moid, by whom it has been plantec^with a variety of evergreens and other trees, so as to give a very pleasing effect to the appearance of the town. Some maintain, though upon what foundation cannot well be' determined, that this hill is merely all artificial mount raised upon the ruins of the castle, which history tells us once stood here this seems, however, to be little more than a conjecture; for, if it were really true, whence the names of Moathault and Montalto, by which the country must have been called at the time of, or even antecedent to, the existence oi the castle ? As to the antiquity of this town, little can be said with much certainty, if we except its ancient names, and what has been related of it being once in the possession of the Norman Barons, with an account recorded in the red book of Hergest, in Jesus College, Oxford, of its destruction by Llewelyn ap Jorweth in 1201. The town has of late been considerably unproved, above 40 houses having been built in it within the last 12 years; the assizes have for some time back been regularly held here, and all county business in general transacted. The public buildings contained in it.are but few, of which the church is the one most worthy of notice. This edili.e may be said, without any exaggeration, to vie with al- most any of the kind in the Principality for elegance and commodiousness. Its dimensions are 124 feet in length, 61 in breadth, and in height 24: it has above ISO pews, set with much uniformity, a handsome altar-piece, with a neat statue of Robert Davies, Esq. of Llanerch. The deling of the middle aisle, there being three IN all, fell down about four years ago, in consequence of which the appearance of the church has been somewhat disfigured, but it is to be hoped that the misfortune will not remain long unremedied. The north and middle aisles were built some time, lhaugh how long is not precisely known, prior to the commencement of the sixteenth century, and the south one in 1597, as appears by the following inscription on a stone discovered under that aisle by the opening ot a vault in 1783. Fundamentum Ecclesid; Christi 1597, IV. A. Eps. (1) It were much to be wished, that this church could boast of an organ it is a deficiency I have no doubt, the public spirit of the parishioners, upon a subscription being agitated, would shortly supply. The steeple, erected in r 1768, is of a structure corresponding to that of the church, I extremely elegant, and has-within it six very musical bells.- The county-hall, to which I shall next allude, is but an in- significant building, favouring more the appearance oi « J barn than of a court of justice yet as it is one, to which the judges are in general partial, from the ease with which the proceedings are heard in IT, little K thought about erect- j ing a new one: a few improvements might, however, be I made, such as a jury-room, of which it is now deficient, | and a few inward decorations. Adjoining to the. hall j stands a rouud-liouse, or house of correction, raised ABOUT I 8 years ago, but of 110 very respectable nature: H con- ] tains only two confined cells; a new one on a more enlarg-.L ed scale would be very desirable not only to the town bat. | to that part of the country in general; although (and there is something pleasant in the assertion) it is not so much the demand for, as the necessity of, the thing, that requires it. There is likewise a free grammar school, with a house and salary annexed to it, founded in the year 1740; and "it wouici be particularly desirable, at least by those who de- light in rational entertainment, and the pleasures of enter- taining society, that the to'wn contained also a commodious assembly room, there being at present no public room in it which can properly come under that denomination ajury- room, at WIDELY I have previously hinted, might easily be bl"jt so as to answer more civil purposes than one. 'fhe town LIAS nve ran,S ANNUALLY, unci two weekly mar- kets on Wednesday and Saturilay that its fairs are of an- cient date appears from a circumstance being recorded of several of the citizens of Chester having been slam at Mold fair by Reginald Griffith and his retinue iri the year (e) The markets are generally well supplied with capital butchers'meat, as also with fish, an article which, from the contiguity of the town to the sea, is in sufficient plenty to render it no very great luxury. One deficiency, however, ought here to be noticed, and that is, the want of a proper market-place, there being at present but a few scattered shambles, which encroach upon the. regularity of the street in a considerable degree, while a very moderate expencemight remedy the inconvenience.—So much for, the town. I cannot better conclude this survey of the parish of Mold, which, whether for the "richness of its soil, the .pro- gress of its trade and manufactures, the beauty of its pros- pects, or the variety of its gentlemen's seats, may be placed in competition with almost any in the Principality, than by bestowing MY mite of praise upon the loyalty of its inhabitants. Their exertions will shine, with those of their fellow countrymen, upon the pages of immortal fame, as a brilliant record of patriotism, to the most distant pos- terity and such, I flatter myself, will be the opinion of others when I state, that the volunteer force of this parish alone, unassisted by any other, exceeds 600, of which 550 are infantry, and the remainder cavalry. But what efforts will not an honourable and glorious cause invite from true patriots boasting the illustrious name of Britons, and the still nobler appellation of Welshmen ? (c) See Camden, S.c.

Agriculture. [Extract from Arthur Young's Farmers Calendar.] WHEAT, UPON all cold, wet, and backward soils, September is the best season for putting in wheat, provided other circum- stances permit it; such are principally the weather, for wheat should not be sown till rain comes in tolerable plenty; and never in a dry season. Upon dtiyer and warmer soils, it is better to postpone this business till October. But in tliis case let our farmer remember, that clover and other J layers should be ploughed (if rain comes) in September, for it is a great advantage to have such layers remain un- sown for three weeks or a month after ploughing. Another general observation is, that in proportion to the earliness of the sowing, may be E? small deduction from the accustomed quantity of seed; two bushels sown any time in this month, are equal to three in November. SORT OF WHEAT. These are numerous, and many of them known in differ- ent counties under different names, which necessarily causes some confusion in reports that are made on this sub- ject. It is here necessary to notice but a few of the sorts. 1. Red laminas a red straw, red ear, and red kernel; reckoned by fhany farmers the best of all the sorts hitherto known, and yielding the finest, whitest flour. There ate also a yellow and a brown Jammas. 2. Hoary white white straw, car, and grain. 3. Bearded productive on very poor, cold, wet land but a coaise grain, and sells for an inferior price. 4. Clark wheat; red blossom, chaff, and straw, but white grain; a favourite sort in Sussex. 5. Hedge wheat; white, very productive. 6. V civet; a distinct sort from the hoary white; it is a white wheat, and though not weighty, yield# much nour a very thin skin. 7. Cone wheat of various sorts, so called from the shape of the Car. STEEPING THE SEED. The.modes of steeping, brining, and liming tha Seed, are innumerable all are equally intended as precautions against the smut. I made several experiments on this ob- ject, from which it appeared, that steeping from twelve to twenty-four hours in a ley of wood ashes, in lime-water, and in a solution of arsenic, gave clean crops from ex- tremely smutty aced, but a short time in those mixtures had amuchlesseifect. WHEAT AFTER FALLOW. If there is onepractice in husbandry proved by modern improvements to be worse than another, it is that of sowing wheat on fallows. If fallows be, or are thought necessa- ry, let them be sown with barley or oats, or with any thing but wheat. WHEAT AFTER BEANS. Beans, if well cultivated, form the best preparation for wheat: I have seen in Kent afield of wheat which follow- ed four preparations, beans, clover, tares, and fallow, and the first was superior to all the rest; next the clover, then the tares, and the worst was-after the fallow. If our young farmer has a bean-stubble on which he intends sow- ing wheat, he should be as .early as possible, in giving it the due tillage this will depend on soil, for on some it will be more advantageous totrust to the shim, scarifiers, and scuf- flers, than to the plough. If the land is very clean, the great Isle of Thanet shim will cut through every thing, and loosen the surface sufficiently to enable the harrows to leave it as clean and fine as a garden, women attending to pjck and burn. If less clean, the Kentish broad-share may do the work more cnectively. In other cases the scuf- iier may be equal to the business. When he has got the surface to his mind, he is to consider whether or not he should plough it, which is advisable if the soil be of a firm, solid, tenacious quality, and if he does not intend to drill the wheat; it he ploughs such a soil he may not have any apprehension of root-fallen wheat, failing roots from a loose bottom but he will bring up a new surface that may drill with difficulty, whereas that which has received the udiu- ence of the crop, atmosphere, and of his late operations, will be in exactly the right temper for the drill to work in. If the soil is of a more loose, friable quality, and he should plough down the fine surface he has gained, he will give the wheat too loose a bottom, and he will run the chance of a root-fallen ciop. In all such cases, or in any that have a tendency to this circumstance, he should determine not to plough ac all, but drill directly ;"a method in which he saves tusage, and has the probability of a better pro- duce. Tins is a new practice on strong land, but I have seen such success in it as lea ves 110 reason for doubting the soundness.01 its principles, WHEAT AFTER CLOVER. Clover forms a very excellent preparation for wheat, yielding amoie crops of the golden grain at a very light ex- ~peace. The discovery of dibbling was a very capital 1;;1- provement; in this method the seed was deposited in the centre, oi the flags, and the regular treading the land re- ceived, pressed down the lurrow, and gave a degree of firm- ness liot otherwise attainable. Tlw success was great; and had the labouring poor kept to that care and accuracy y began with m dibbling, the practice w«juld ne- :I'ive lessened; but the great earnings they made gave a sn'Ji' lis air avidity, and they have both in Norfolk and 1 one it of late -years in so sioveniy and careless a-, manner, that drilling is every where coming in, instead of a practice esteemed by many of the most intelligent farmers as unrivalled, when well performed-. At present, it is thought in those counties the mark of a bad farmer to sow !}foad-ei!.Sl wheat on clover. The land having been ploughed a fortnight: or three weeks, it is to be well rolled down with a heavy roller, and then dibbled here, as in all other cases, the chief attention is to be paid to the dibblers making, the holes deep enough, and to the children dropping equally without scattering, it is then bush-harrowed. Six pecks of seed is enough lot two rows on a flag in this mouth. But if only one row, still I would recommend as much seed to be put in.. And another observation it is necessary to make, that if the land is known to be given to the mudew, an increase of seed on that account is right, whatever the soil or season; by rea- son of the wefj known fact, that all thin crops suffer more from that distemper than such as are thicker. A good crop of winter tares leaves the ground in such loose, putrid, friable order, that it is much better husban- dry, twsowturnips or/plant cabbages on it, than leave it to receive tillage for wheat. However if this management should take phice, the land should not be ploughed at all, but left to consolidate at bottom, to become firm for the roots of the wheat to fix in, and the surface worked with the scarifiers or scuftiers, according to its temper, just suffi- cient to keep it clear ol all weeds, and in that state, driil the wheat without any ploughing. This I have .practised with good success. WiXER-Pt'RROWXNG. ,ROWIN A circumstance of much importance in the culture of wheat, but oftentimes strangely neglected, is water-furrow- ing this work should be well and effectually performed on all lands', except those that iire perfectly dry all the winter through. The water-furrows should be ploughed as soon as the field is finished sowings ploughing, &c. and then a spit should be dug out from the bottom of them, and laid on one side opposite the rise of the land, and loose moulds shovelled out: the openings of all the furrows should likewise be cleansed, so that the water may have an easy fall out of every lurrow into the water ones. The number of these must ever depend on the variations of the surface: the only general rule being to make them so nu- merous, that no water call stand on the land in the wettest weather. In bottoms of fields, or other places, where there is a double slope of the land, it is necessary to cut 1 double water-furrows, about a yard or four feet from each other, to take water from each descent.

Great success has been attributed to an expedient which was first employed in orkshire, to prevent a blight in wheat. An ounce of arsenic cautiously pulverized, is put into four pints of pure water, and an equal quantity of urine. The seed wheat is nnmerged in this preparation uu. til the downy substance at the extremity of the gram is sa- turated with the liquid. \'Ve need not mention the ex. treme care with which such a process should be adopted. Some farmers prefer, on this account, what they consider as equally effectual, viz. a mixture of two parts of allum and one of blue vitriol. Letters from Sussex mention, that an ingenious husbandman, in the neighbourhood of Lewes, has discovered the means of avoiding the destructive prin- ciple, by the use of which he proposes to secure the wheat, at a small premium, from this noxious enemv. We feel the highest satisfaction at having it in our power to announce, that the price of corn is rapidly falling in every part of the country and there is little doubt but that in the course of a few days it will find that level from which it was so unreasonably raised. This fall is principal- ly to be attributed to the promising appearance of the har- vest, and to the great importation of grain which has been made, and which is expected. The late rains, from the ef- fect of which such serious apprehensions were entertained, have proved most beneficial in their operation. The smut has been removed, the cars have been cleansed, and the quality of the grain considerably swelled and improved by them. The persons who have made large purchases upon the speculation of an extravagant rise, are aware of these circumstances, and they are endeavouring to shield them- 1011 selves against the certaiij consequences of the depreciation which may be expected. Agricultural Report for July.—A month of fine weather has enabled the farmers to get in ail their white grain in good condition. The wheat, though injured by the mil- dew it, some places, is in better order than was expected. The late rains which fell on it will assist both the quantity and quality, and make it much easier to thresh. The crop may be deemed an average good one. 'Barley is much improved by the rains on the strong lands, and" is an ex- cellent crop.—The oats that were out in the wet are con siderably discoloured, but on the whole there is no defi- ciency. Beans are a good crop; they are now cut, and will be carried in, a few days if the weather continues fine. The crops of pease are also good, as well as those of tares. The rains have been very favourable for the turnips, which have grown very luxuriantly, and are likely to make winter keeping plentiful. The clovers have been equally benefited by the rain, and promise a very abundant crop pf feed. in stock there is little variation. Stores are rather dearer. Corn B'.M.—The substance of this bill is; :-First, to pro- hibit the exportation altogether, whenever the average price of wheat throughout the twelve maritime districts is above 54s. a quarter.—Secondly, to permit the importation from Canada, and all other British colonies in North America, whenever the price is 53s. upon a duty of 2s. 6d. and when at 56s. at 6d. only.—Thirdly, when the price of wheat is so low as to be under 48s. to give 5s. bounty on the exportation.—And, fourthly, when the price rises so high as 63s. to permit the importation from any foreign country, on paying a duty of '2s. 6d. and if it gets to 60s. then atbd. only.—There are different rates of duty imposed when the prices are 53s. and 63s. but they do not appear material. Commercial Report for July.—The arrivals of the China, the West India, the Newfoundland, and the Baltic fleets, almost all at once, and in perfect safety, have given a very lively and favourable impulse to trade all Britain and Ireland. The West-India merchants com- plain, that the blockade of the ports of France is essen- tially injurious to their interests, and will tend greatly to impede their sales. But the Hamburgh market is, by the late change in the restraints on the navigation of the Elbe, somewhat more open to them. There is, however, no fall in the retail prices of either East-India or West-India goods, in consequence of these events, except in sugars, now from 4s. to tis. per cwt. cheaper. The manufacturers are now busy in completing large orders for the several marts of our trade, fur which the next merchant fleets are to sail. There was a great rise in the price of teas at Amster- dam, when the false news that Linois had taken the Eng- lish China fleet was first propagated there. Cotton goods and muslins of all sorts are, by a recent order of the Government, prohibited from importation into Spain. The Austrian trade and navigation for the port of Trieste becomes continually more considerable. Common heath has been found, in Scotland, to afford, by boiling, a good liquor for tanning leather by the use of which this manufacture is considerably cheapened and improved. Considerable purchases have lately been made at Odessa, on the Black Sea, of grain and other produce of the ad-1 jacent countries, chiefly for consumption at Malta. IN general, the British trade on the Black Sea appears to in- crease, and to become profitable. .The fair of Senegaglia, in Italy, has proved this year I mere brisk in trade than for these several years past. A prodigious quantity of goods from the Levant was on sale at it. Life Preserver.—An experiment was made on Wednes-1 day of the utility of this invention, which met with the most complete success. Six persons having first girt them- selves with the machine, jumped overboard off Parliament- stairs, above Westminster-bridge, and went down gently by the tide to Blackfriars'-bridge a great number of boats surrounded them, as well to save them in case of danger, as from a desire to witness the experiment; but every thing went on extremely smooth and well. It was curious to observe six heads and shoulders in a perpendicular posture, walking, as it were, through the water, quite still, unless they wished to change their direction, which a small paddle or two with their hands will do, their legs and hands being perfectly at liberty. The machine is ex- tremely simple it is made of strong sheet copper, hoJlow- ed, and strongly soldered together in eight different pieces, connected with straps; it is laid on the chest, and rolled up over the breasts, the whole fastened with straps that go over the shoulders, and are secured to the belt that goes round the chest. The divisions of the machine, 1 though of a different shape, partake of the qualities of a cistern ball, to float on the water, and, when the whole is fixed on, it is not unlike a horse's collar in shape, but much larger in proportion. It is very simple, almost in- stands, NUT ()"1. and it anoears to be of incalculnl>LE benefit in enabling persons attending life boats, CANALS, &c- WHO can swim, to remain a considerable time in the water with- out tiring: and,, by its buoyancy, to assist others, who I cannot swim, that may be in danger of drowning. A new plan has been exhibited before the oflicers at the Horse Guards, as an improvement on the machine for the conveyance of troops it is very simple, and does not add to its weight or size it is formed by four boards as seats placed across, that the soldiers may sit with their faces to the horses, instead of sitting sideways as in the late invention; it was highly approved of, and we un-- derstand that the remainder of the machines to be made are to be after this construction. Machinery, for the purposes of trade and the arts, was never employed to the extent we now see it.—At Wis- beach in Cambridgshire, there has been a steam-engine erected for grinding corn, which possesses the power of eighty horses, and has been finished at the expence of 20,0001. in Derbyshire, hydrostatics are applied even to culinary purposes and a cottage kitchen at Paxton has A spit turned by a little hydraulic wheel. It is not uuworthy of remark, that the King and Queen of England have alive thirteen children, who have all at- tained the years of maturity. Perhaps there are few in- stances in the kingdom of the like in one family. The frieuds of the Little Roscius are determined that he shall make a good market of his talents while the novelty lasts.

Most kinds of Grain felt a farther depression on Wednes- day and Iriday, but to-day, owing to a short supply, rather better prices were obtained,'particularly for Wheat of prim* so,^ as. uuder" We had new Rve for seed at Market, which fetched more money than is stated ia our currency. Barley comes in short.supply, and is dearer. Malt is heavy, and but little in demand. Beans are dearer but m 1 eas we have no material variation. The few ai- rivals of Oats of late, with a,scarcity of those of fresh and good quality, has occasioned a further advance in that arti- Cie.. f iour is chea.per.
