Th anniversary. of our revered Sovereign's Co- ronation wis observed here on Saturday last with the usual demonstrations of loyalty and attach- ment, The Morris ton and Endeavour armed brigs, the Cleveland, tender, and other vessels in our harbour, displayed their Various colours, and ihr, three former fired salutes on the occasion. Col. Siadden has appointed the. week after next or a general inspection of all the volunteers in Glamorganshire. The first battalion of Breconshive loyal volun- teers was inspected on Sunday last by Col. Brom- ley, who was pieased highly to compliment them on their- attainment in military Sciencc.—This pa- triotic and respectable corps will march to Here- lord early in the ensuing month, there to continue on permanent duty for fourteen days. The Montgomeryshire yeornanrycdvalry were to march this day for Wrexham, on permanent duty (or fourteen days. Saturday last, the Chepstow and Caldecot volun- teers, commanded by Colonel Turton, having fi- nished the period of their permanent duty, march- ed from Hereford for Monmouth, on their return home. The appearance, discipline, and steady conduct of these corps, merit the highest approba- tion and the friendly attention they received from the inhabitants of Hereford, was gratefully acknow- ledged by the wltDle body. On Sunday they com- pleted their march, and were welcomed home by the joyous salutations of their families and friends, The Rev. John Lloyd and John Hardinge, Esq. are appointed Deputy Lieutenants of the county of Carmarthen. Lieutenant Richard Jeffreys, youngest son of I pn Win. Jeffreys, Esq. of this town, is appointed Lieutenant in the artillery company attached to the Plymouth division of Royal Marines. Sunday last the Lord Bishop of St. David's held liis Ordination at Abergwilly., when ten Priests and Deacons were admitted into holy Orders. Our much-esteemed friend, the Rev. Mr. Davies, Curate of St. Mary's, in this town, took leave of us last Sunday in a farewell sermon, which compre- hended a general view of our christian obligations, individually and collectively. His advice to his young friends was deeply and affectingly interest- ing, its chief ..object, to multiply a race of worshippers Holy and just; thrice happy if they know Their happiness and persevere upright, "And thus their sabbath keep." The apostrophe to our venerable and worthy Vicar, was as honourable as it was just; the con- clusion combined all that could be uttered with all that could be felt— —much impressed Himself, as conscious of bis awful charge, And anxious mainly that the flock hcJcd feel it too", Probably nothing interests the human mind so much as parting from those who have in any man- ner contributed to, or promoted our temporal well doing. It may be judged, therefore, what was felt in parting with him whose sole object was our eter- nal welfare. May those doctrines it was his study and delight to disseminate among us be productive of the end he wished, and that though for a time he has bid us farewell, we may, profiting'both by his precepts and exaiixple-rtiect again! Monday last the Corporation of Brecon met ac- cording to annual custom for the purpose of elect- ing a Bailiff. &c. when Hu^h Bold, sen. Esq. was chosen to that office for the ensuing year. After the usual ceremonies were gone through, the mem- bers of the Corporation sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Golden Lion. Win. Anderdon, Esq. is elected Mayor of Bath for the year ensuing. Lord Warwick, we hear, has purchased MrSym- mens's delightful estate, called Llangennach park, near Llanelly.—Mr. Vancouver, brother to Capt. Vancouver, will reside thereon as agent to his Lordship. A very elegant display of company honoured the Master of the Ceremonies' Ball, at York-house, Clifton, last week; amongst whom were Colonel Brigstocke, most of the officers of the Royal Car- marthen and South Devon regiments, with a great number of fashionables.—-The band oftheltoyal Carmarthen attended, and added much to the plea- sure and hilarity of the evening. Mr. Justice Hardinge's recent Charges to the Grand Juries in Wales, (inserted in former papers) are highly honourable to his character in point of learning and eloquence, as well as in sound politi- cal principles, and a virtuous indignation against the horrible excesses of revolutionary France. There is indeed a peculiar character of spirited and striking oratory in most of the addresses of this kind which Mr. Justice Hardinge has delivered: yet his talents are easily exercised on subjects of a playful and satirical description, as was observable in his humorous Strictures on Mr. Malone's Life of Dryden. Monday last a foot-race, of four miles and three quarters, for 200 guineas, was run at Lantrissent, Glamorganshire, by a native of that place, and a young man brought from England for the purpose, which was won with ease by the latter, who went over the ground, although very rough and uneven, in about 26 niinu to two in favour of the Lantrissent man, who was backed with confi- dence, never having been beaten before. Two awful instances of sudden death have oc- curred within the last few days: the one, a man employed in a copper work near this town, who dropped down while engaged in his business, and instantly expired—the other, 4 person of this place, who, in the act of putting on his coat after rising from his bed, became in a moment a lifeless corpse. Government has ordered Generals Boyer and Rochambeau, who have so often forfeited their pa- role, to be removed from Ashburton to Montgo- mery. f A few day| since, while a military escort was conveying a. party of Trench prisoners from Ply- 'n in mouth to Bristol, one of them made his escape at Bridgewater, and contrived to get on hoard a vessel bound from thence to Tenby, in which he concealed himself till she had put to sea. On his arrival at Tenby, however, he was again secured, and placed in safe custody. Saturday morning last, a dextrous villain stole a gentleman's trunk from the back part of the Bris- tol caravan, on the road between Pyle and Neath, which he carried off unperceivedv The trunk, how- ever, being soon missed, the robbery was immedi- ately made known, and after about half an hour's search, it was found by a woman in an unfrequent- ed spot, nearly a quarter of a mile from the road, wrapped up in a bag. It had been opened, and eight guineas in cash taken out; but from an ap- prehension, probably, of subsequent discovery, the fellowdeft 201. in notes untouctleci.-Suspiciori has since fallen on Thomas David, blacksmith, of Aber- avon, who has absconded, and for whose appre- hension a reward of five guineas is offered.-See Advertisement. On the evening of Sunday se'nnight, Mr. J. Price, of Llanfyllin, was attacked on the Wrexham road, near Belor ve, by two men on foot, who plundered' him of 400 guineas in cash, together with bills drawn at Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Dolgelly, amounting in the whole to 605)1.—The villains, not satisfied with their booty, or perhaps in the hope of finding more concealed in his clothes, stripped him of'his coat and waistcoat, and decamped with their plunder towards Eccleston. A large reward is offered for their apprehension. A striking instance of remorse of conscience, which exemplifies the avenging hand of God against murder, is just added to the many similar impressive lessons, in the voluntary surrender of a woman (who has for sonic years been a pauper in the before .a .magistrate of that llcighbourhood, L whom sh, has confessed thateigGt years ago"she murdered her bastard infant, by cutting its throat, and throwing it into the river Avon, near Bath and declared, that such was the intolerable miserv of her mind till she had divulged the dread- ful secret, that she was inevitably compelled to consign herself over to the ministration of the law to answer for the horrid deed.—It is known, that a child (about a month old) was taken out of the ri- ver, near Kingsmcad, by a dog, in June 1795. The price of corn is. gradually declining almost universally in Wales. BLitche-s' meat is also lower. Butter in casks, at Carmarthen, 9d. per lb. A gentleman.just returned from Liverpool and Manchester states, that in those parts, as well as the counties through which he has travelled, the harvest is considered as one of the best that has been experienced for many years; and as soon as the sowing season is over, no doubt is entertained of immense quantities of corn being brought to market. At Crawley fair, last Monday se'nnight, there was a very large shew of Welsh and Devonshire cattle, which sold, upon the average, at full six- pence per stone cheaper than cattle of' a similar kind the preceding week at Egdean. The fair was, well attended, but a considerable portion of the stock was nevertheless driven away unsold". At Worcester great fair, on Wednesday, there was a large show of fat and lean cattle, sheep and pigs, which were sold at reduced prices, and many were driven away unsold. There was a great num- ber of horses, and those which were good fetched high prices.—Of cheese there was a good supply, and high prices were asked best cheese^ brought from 31. 4s. to 31. 18s. per cwt. and second ditto from 21. 15s. to 2l. 18s. The hop trade was unusu- ally brisk 4637 pockets were weighed, being the greatest number ever weighed in one day; current prices, 31. 10s. to 4l. per cwt. The pilchard season has not yet closed. The quantity cellared in Cornwall is estimated at 60,000 hogsheads; the price about 28s. per hogshead, ex- clusive of the bounty. Copper Ores sold at Redruth on Thursday the 20th inst.. Mines.

A vast concourse of peo- ple testified their regard by attending his funeral. His temper was unruffled and serene, /and through every vi- cissitude of lire his countenance wore the smile of blest content." His manners were so pleasing, and his conver- sation so remarkably chearful and entertaining, that his company was always peculiarly acceptable to his friends and he could agreeably blend entertainment with instruc- tion. He was well versed in the classic writers, had an accurate knowledge of the Welsh language and antiquities, and-translated some useful publications into that language. He was an excellent husband, an indulgent parent, and a sincere friend. His whole life and conversation were go- verned by the dictates of unaffected piety and benevo- lence, which affords his numerous relations and friends the most animating assurance, that he has exchanged the sor- rows alld,infirmities of mortal life, for a happy and glorious immortality.

A Life Director of that distinguished Charity has invited those of enlarged and philosophic minds to compose a Pr,' Essay 011 the means of preserving mariners from, shipwreck, a subject so intimately connected with their exalted views, whose grand object at aii times must naturally excite the emulation of ingenious, inquisitive men. The Managers, whose efforts. have been constantly de- voted to the preservation ot' human life, are'entitled to pe- culiar regard .or adopting a subject so interesting-to the feelings of the humane and benevolent; and I doubt not but their exertions will call forth the abilities c who are well qualified to throw light upon so important a question. I cannot but.anticipate the happy consequences arising from a zeal and ardour so friendly to the best and dearest affections of humanity. I rejoice there exists a Society which comprehends in its extensive circle every rank and situation in life and I hope to see the day when it will be fixed upon a solid aud substantial basis, and be enabled to diffuse its benefits to a large portion of the human race. Questions determinable in 1806. 1. What are the best means of preventing shipwreck ? 2. What will be the most probable means of keeping vessels adoatli" they spring a leak, or are otherwise ill extreme danger ? S. The most certain methods of assistance from shore to vessels in distress within a certain distance, of land, and when boats dare not venture out to their aid ? Treffcnnon, 180*1, Sept. 24. Cysi&o. To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. sin, The exaggerated accounts frequently given in the public papers ot the valuable properties oi foreign grain, and other vegetable productions introduced into this country for the purpose of agriculture, tend greatly to impede the general culture 0,1 such as would provrf extremely profit- able for disappointment must necessarily follow expecta- tion too highly raised, and then it is not allowed even the degree oi merit it might be entitled to. Such is the ac- count given in the Cambrian of the loth inst. of Egyptian wheat. The description is tolerably accurate but as to the quality of the straw, it will be" found very different indeed from what it is there represented to be. "The outer coat is thicker and coarser than common straw, and con- tains a tough, spungy substance; very like the pith of cider. From this description the reader may easily judge whether it can be so peculiarly nutritious as to render unnecessary the use of hay and corn for hl)res. A prac- tical agriculturist of the first eminence who has grown it for some years in Essex, says, that it is very productive, yielding a much greater return than other wheat, particu- larly oil poor, light, and dry land therefore, he considers it as well worthy me attention (J farmers, whose .soil is of the above description. 1 [The insertion of the concluding part of our Correspond- ent's letter, mentioning wheat may be ob- tamed on much lower terms than it'the rate or ten guineas for fourteen pounds, would subject us to the ativeyise.went
