WELSH LITERATURE.
WELSH LITERATURE. The Cymmrodorion Society in Powys. as well as the Cambrian Society in Dy ferl, is vtill. adapting measures for the preservation of the remains of Ancient British Literature. The Committee of the Cymmrodorion Society ill Powys has sent a circular to the different members of that Society, and to the proprietors ot different collections of Welsh MSS. in the pruw ince. requesting them to allow the Society fo appoint a proper person to prepare a catalogue of them, or to furnish the Society with such a catalogue these cata- logues are to contain a description and contents of the several MSS., accompanied with such remarks on their subjects and supposed authors, as may be deemed useful villi a view to .publication. It would he highly desirnble that the several Societies having similar objects in view, »h'Mild co operaie in collecting and collaiinir all the Welsh MSS. extant, t?iid in publishing from time to time the III 1St I' Valuable of them. The t "o Societies, which were first established with this view, are now taking effectual measures for accomplishing so desirable all object. The most valuable of these ancient remains of British Literature, which aie nOw contained in old MSS. that in their present state are inaccessible to the public, or mouldeiiug through neglect, will, it is to be hoped, issue from the Cymmrodorioll press at convenient opportunities.—The following are the queries which have been issued:- t, Whit inedited manuscripts of British Literature, either in Latin or Welsh, are known Holy Scriptures, fit Welsh, more an* tlie Norman conquest-, or than the art of printing? 4, Do you know any unpublished Welsh Triads, handed down by tradition <8r otherwise ? 5. Wh.it Welshmen have left the Prir.ci- .pality since the time of the Reformation, on account of their .wligion, or any other cause, whom yon thillk prohable to have conveyed with them any remains of Welsh poetry -and literature? 6. In what libraries, in England, or any other part of tik- British dominions, do yon think it likely lluit some of these remains are deposited ? 7. lu what ■Continental libraries do you think it ptohable that some of tjjeiu may be foxnd ? 8. \'Vhat original Welsh books, or what books relative to Welsh Literature, in any language, 4o you &no-w to be published;? 9. Do you know IIIIY peu. Million not yet published? jo. Do you know of any -species of Welsh composition, poetical or musical, corres- J ■j»»tiding wirh what is called "Glee" in English, or which is laown hy (he name of Caniad tri nen bedwar?" i| 'Can you exhibit to the Society anv old Welsh ttjnes! sacred or otherwise, not yet published ? 1g. What Welsh hooks, and books on Welsh Literature, already published, and now btcome scarce, do you think merit to be re-pub- i Jishcd? [ OAK TABLE AT CEFN-MABLE. To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,—Among the many antiquities with which the county «fGI.morgan abounds, I know not one that more naturally Snrigs to mind an idea of 1 he former scenes of festive-mirth (so cliatacteristic of the shire.) than the old oak table, in .the long hall at Keven-Mably. Curiosity led raeto measure it lite other day, and I found its length to be 64 feet 8f inches, and hreadih 2 feet 10 inches. It is composed of but two planks (both from the same tree) having only one joining at 4$je«t 7|inches, being ilie extretyity of the longest. To the history ot ihis ancient piece of furniture hangs many a traditionary tale, descriptive of the jovial scenes in days that are pa-I. The hall in which it stands ( where once the sounds of merry laughter re-echoed l-oud) looks, alas but dark and dreury, and I could not with- hold a remark of two ou the contrast between the present and the past.

Black triumphed, and ^rew severe, and Romaine was dejected, till at last one of he gentlemen present touched Homaine oil the shoulder with one hand, and pointing to Black with the other, re- j peated the following line of Horace :— Hie Niger est, liunc tu Romane caveto The allusion was the more fortunate, because it has often been asserted, that this is the only example of cavere being employed in this manner; and although this nssertion is not absolutely true, yet it must be allowed, that the instances are very few in number. EDITORIAL SCISSARS.—No. VII. HONE.—Many of our readers may probably know that a short time ago Hone published what he called "The Apocryphal New Testament." This was criticUed so se- verely in the Quarterly litview, that lie wrote a letter, which implied a threat to Mr. Murray, the publisher-of the lte- view, demanding from him Ihe name of his opponent; in reply to this letter, Mr. Gifford, as Editor, forwarded the following note, through the Bookseller-:—" The mocker of his God-the rude scoiner of his Saviotir-tlie buffoon pa- rodist of Holy Writ-the obscene caricaturist of his Prince —the cold-blooded, heartless, malicious infidel, who labours day and night to rob the sick of their consolations of Re- ligion,- and the dying ot their hopes of Immortality, inquires, Wh it writer in the Quarterly Review, No. bB. denied the soundness of his head and the integrity of his heart?'— The reply is (briefly and boldly) ALL."

Temple. SHARP SHOOTING.—Lieutenant-Colonel Stilling, with the Queen's and 42d Regiment, was once ordered on a foraging party into the Jerseys. In an excursion through the woods, a Highland soldier came unexpectedly in sight of an American, when their pieces happened to he unloaded. Each flew behind a tree to cover himself whitf loading, but fearing that he whofir-st ventured out of cover would be brought down by the other side, kept possession of their trees, till at last the Highlander, losing patience, pushed his bonnet beyond the tree, on the point of his bayonet. The American shot his ball through its centre, when his opponent started forward, and made him .immediately sur- render. TOM SHETUDAN.—■" My dear Tom," said the elder tSheridan one day to his son, c, I wish you woulri take a wile. "—" I have no objection, Sir whose wife shall [ take?" CRANIOLOGY—IN a certain-company, the conversation hnviitg lallen on the subject of crmiology, and the organ of drunkenness being alluded to among others, a lady sug- gested that this ruust be the barrel organ. NERVES—When a late Duchess of Bedford was last at Buxton, and then in her eighty-fifth year, it waS the medi- cal farce of the day, for the faculty to resolve every com. plaint of whim and caprice into a shock of the nervous system." Her Grace, after inquiring of many of her friends in the rooras what brollghtthem there, and being generally answered for a nervous complaint, was asked in her turn, "What brought her to Buxton ?" "I came only for pleasure," answered the healthy Duchess; for, thank God, I was horn before nerves came into fashion." DEVOTION-—Rousseau has wittily observed of devotion, that it is like opium. If taken in proper quanti'y, it ex- hi!ar;>tes, strengthens, and elevates the faculties; if in quantities disproportionate to the paient's disposition and frame of mind, it produces dull melancholy and frantic madness. LORD CHFSTERFIFLT).—When Lord Chesterfield was in administration, he proposed a person to George II, as proper to fill a place of great trust, but which the King himself was determined should be filled by another. The — •• • :i .1 .< T.'I— r. business to present the grant of the office for the King's signature. Not to incense his M.ije-ty by asking him ab- ruptly, he, with accents of great humility, begged to know with whose tiiime his Majesty would he pleased to have the blank filled "p? "Wilhtht Devil's," replied the King, in a paroxysm of rage-and lihalllhe instrument (said the Earl coolly) run as usually, Our tl'llst!¡ tintl well beyveA cousin and councIllor 1-a repartee at which the Kinw laughed heartily, and with great good humour signed the grant. LADY TOWNSHEND had teen very much affected. She had a great deal of wit, which was seldom delicate, and had turned Jacobite 011 some disregard from the Duke of Cumberland. One day that she was very severe on the royal family, Margaret Cecil, Lady Brown, said to her Lady Townshend, it was very well", while you was only affected; but now you are disaffected, it is intolerable."— Walp&lc's Memoirs. PITT CLUB. On the tgtli of 51ay. the anniversary of the birth of the Right Hon. William Pitt was celebrated by a public dinner at the City of London Tavern, Win. Ralph Cartwright, Esq M. P. in the chair, supported on the right by the Lord Chancellor, and on the left by the Duke of Wellington. Among the company were-Lord Viscount Sidmouili, the Earl of Glasgow, Earl of Harewood, Lord fjoih'im, the- Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Miles Nightingale. K.C.B. M. I' Vice-Admiral Sir E. Harvey, K. C. B? M*. P. Sir Robert Vaughan, Bart. M. P. SirThoma3 Dyke, Bart*. Sir Robert Wigram, Hart. Sir Charles Flower, Bart, Sir Joilll Gibbon?, Birt. Right Hon. Sir Henry Russell, E. B. Wilbrahnm, Esq. M. P. Henry Bunkes, Esq. r\1, P., &c. After the cloth had been removed, the chairman pro- posed—" The King may he long live to reign over a faithful people, and to enjoy the benefits of a peace, for which Great Britain is indebted to him." This toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The fiealth of his Majesty's Ministers" haviii" been druiik witillhree limes three, the Lord Chancetfor, in an able speech, reraarked that if he should be asked what had been gained by our late cOlllesf ?-he would answer-- All that had been saved.—He would refer to the time when a foreigner threatened to hold the rule of Great .Britain, when the independence, the freedom, and the re- ligion of the kingdom had been at stake— they had been •aved—and for their safety, they had lo thank the great man whose memory they revered. The chairman iher. gave the health of the Duke o( Wettntgtut), to whose talents, to whose fxertiuns, and to whose illustrious achievements so much was due." Aift-l- See the Conquering Hero-comes." The Dnke of Wellington returned thanks. If any credit was to him for exertions, lie claimed not so much praise 'for them as for his uniform and determined approbation of the piinciples of the immortal and illustrious William Pitt. Several convivial and national seutiments were added, a*»d the company continued 10 enjoy the pleasures of agreeable society until a late hour. ODE, v BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ.

She is said to be the most complete piece of workmanship, in the iron way, that has ever been witnessed and draws one foot less water than any steam-boat that has ever been built. She is 106 feedong, and 17 broad; and is propelled by a SO-horse engine, and Oldham's re- volving oars, the most perfect piece of mechanism that has ever yet been adopted in steatn-boats.— The great advantage of the oars is their entering and leaving the water-edge-ways, by which means no power is lost; and they artj particularly useful in rivers with narrow bridges, as tiiey occupy little more than hall the breadth of the common wheel. It is extpected that the iron-boats will be generally adopted, particularly where a small draft of water is necessary. Another advantage they have over steam-boats in general, is their perfect safety from fire, and uncommon steadiness under the engine. This boat is to ply between London and Paris, the first instance of a direct communication by water between the capitals of England and France. REVIEW ON HouNSLOw HEATH.—Saturday the 1st and 2<1 regiments of Life Guards, the RoyaJ Horse Guards, the 15'h and 10th Hussars, and the 14th Light Dragoons, were reviewed on Hotinslow Heath by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes bf York and Glocester, the Prince of Denmark, and Prince Esterhazy. Contrary to general expecta- tion, his Majesty did not appear on the ground, being prevented, it is said, by a severe and danger-, ous attack of the gout. The ground was covered with carriages containing the first nobility, and the coup (Tail was most pteasin". CANTHAUIDES.—A few days since, John Bond, postillion to Sir Walter Roberts, at Courtlands, near Exmouth, put a large quantity of Cautharides in the servants' teapot; the consequence was, that three of the female servants, and the footman, shortly after drinking the tea, were taken very ill, but medical assistance being iminedi itely procured, we are glad to hear they are recovering. The postilion, on being interrogated by the medical gentleman, admitted the fact, and immediately ab- sconded. SUICIDES—By a table of suicides taken from the work of M. Foumier, entitled" Recoerches St at is- tiques sur la Ville de Paris," it appears that in the year 1818, the number of those who committed suicide in Paris was not less than 330; while from the bills of mortality, it appears that in London and adjoining villages, the number of suicides in 1821., was 32 only. It is a curious circumstance that the number of bachelors was exactly equal to the married men who thus terminated their existence, a fact that will be regarded by some persons as a proof of the equal balance of comfort in the single and wedded state. SRMF.TIUR ESCAPE,—Tuesday residing of stairs window, when she overbalanced heiself and fell cut. She alighted upon the roof of the kitchen of Clement's Eating-house, which gave way, and let the greater part of her body through, but she suspended herself by her arms. The cooft, who was engaged in taking up the dinner, was not a little alarmed at this unceretnoneous visit, she however procured assistance, and the poor woman was released from her awkward situation, with no other injury than a slight contusion on her elbow. Had she fallen a few feet farther she must have been precipitated through the tfcy-light into a caul- dron of boiling water. NEW CURE FOR LOVE.—A hopeless swain, about six miles from Kendal, r.ot meeting with a suitable return to his passion, was advised to eat as many boiled eggs, as he could, in order to extinguish the killing Barne; To this prescription he resorted and actually devoured one hundred hard-boiled' eggs, every tour days, for eight weeks! His great 11 el revenge had stomach for them all."—Cork paper ENORMOUS PIKE.—Was caught at Chilin«toi> Pool, near Brewood, in Staffordshire, the residence of C. V. Giffard, Esq. a pike weighing 46 pounds and measuring from the head to the tail four ftét three inches. When opened a trout was found in its belly, which, though emaciated, weighed four pounds and a half; and a mole, which this 6sh when taken, was in the act of devouring. This fine pike was presented by C. F. Giffard,^Esq. to the Marquis of Stafford. SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.—A most distressing scene presented, itsell on Friday last at Hornavers- quay, near Pentillie Castle, Cornwall. A man having occasion to light the lime-kiln, went down from the kiln hea.d, as is usutl on such occasions, to make a hole, or what is termerl a chimney, with a rod of iron, when he was suffocated by the gas arising from the culm. A second man wfint down to his assistance, who instantly shared a similar fate. A third followed, and also lost his life. A fourth man had still the courage to descend to the assistance of his unfortunate companions he took the precaution however to tie a rope round his middle, hut was no sooner down than he dropped as the others had done. He was immediarely drawn up senseless, and after a considerable time restored to life. The three men who had descended i into the fatal kiln were after much difficulty drawn ] up. but the vital spark was extinct. It is a lament- able circumstance, that each of the sufferers has I left a wife to deplore his untimely fate, and the children of the threefa.milies amount to twenty J J a strong appeal to the benevolence of the charitable] and humane. r I AN fMposTOR —On Friday, W. Clark, Esq. mayor of Bath, committed to our gout, to hard labour "for one month,as a rogue and vagabond, "The Reverend Charles Rogers Bond." This man, who is well known in this city and its vicinity, for his affinity to the once celebrated "Green Eyed Monster," and to the "infallible Dr. Gamble," the sham proptietor of the "Sanative Tea," and of that 'phe- nomenon, the Invisible Girl;" as well as for his periodical visits; has been in the habit for many years of intrnding himself into the houses of the nobility and gentry; in the assumed character of a clergyman, under pretence of collecting alms for the counterfeit purpose of relieving ar:d supporting the family of a distressed baronet; and so oily was his address, and so unconquerable his pertinacity in pressing his suit, that he Seldom failed in effect- in-, his object, either by working upon the charita* ble feelings of his victims, or hy tiring out their patience. This is fully proved by the memoranda jof his pocket-book, which contained a list of con' tributions amounting to nearly eight hundred I u ad s.—But A pqpar. edM cms:, Seld atTrcvrq, on Thursday, Mny T.I.
