[The following Address was, in substance, prepared by the late Dean of Llandaff, a short time before his death. Various circumstances have prevented its earlier publication; but it is hoped that the force of this posthumous appeal will not be weakened by this unavoidable delay] To the Laity of the Diocese of Llandaff, and to the Public in general. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, 4 CONSIDERABLE interval has now elapsed since I appealed to the clergy of this diocese in behalf of an effort to restore some portion, at least, of our ancient Cathedral. In the address then circulated, I dwelt at some length on the cir- cumstances which gave rise to a strong manifestation of public feeiing in favour of the pious undertaking, and quoted some encouraging remarks, which, though delivered at a meeting con- vened for another purpose, contamed various suggestions and promises of support offered in a spirit of the most cordial liberality. In that address I also mentioned, with sincere gratification, the number of intimations which had been conveyed to me on the subject, and recorded the piogress already made in the res- toration of the Welsh Chapel, anciently called the Lady Chapel. this appeal to the Clergy was iesponded to in the kindest manner by the members of the Chapter, and the Clerical body at lage. The measure of their sympathy will be estimated by the list of their names and contributions, and a consideiation of the very scanty revenue of the church throughout the diocese. HK who regards the willing mind, and accepts according to the ability rather than the amount, will surely appreciate this labour of love. From the Clergy I turn to the laity of Glamorgan and Mon- mouth in particular, and to the Public generally, in behalf of our attempt to restore, or at least tu improve, our venerable Cathedral. The See of Llandaff is asserted to be—beyond dispute—the oldest, as its revenues are unquestionably the poorest, in the kingdom- Touching the antiquity of this church," says Bishop Godwin, it is reported to have been built in the 2nd century, about the year ot Christ 180. It is certain that Dubri. tius presided here in 436, and that he was instituted metropo- lian in these parts." For more than fourteen centuries of the Christian era has Llandaff existed with various fluctuations of wealth and depression, as an Episcopal See; and it may serve to shew how great has been the spoil and waste of her revenues when we state, on the authority of the same Bishop Godwin, that so much riches has been bestowed on Llandaff, that if it enjoyed the tenth part of that which it has been endowed with first and last, it would be one of the wealthiest churches in Christendom; whereas," adds the mournful chronicle, it hath now hardly sufficient to repair itself." In the beginning of the 12th century. Urban, the thirtieth Bishop of this See, had it in his heart to rebuild this church. At his first coming, he found his bishoptick in a very poor and miserable condition—the church almost ruined to the ground —the levenuesso confiscated, that out of twenty-lour canons they could now scarcely maintain two." The zealous bishop com- plained thereof to the King and other authorities, and in the year 1119 procured letters to the Clerty and Gentry of this Kingdom, particularly of his own Diocese. By this means, having gathered great sums, he pulled down the old church, and began, upon the 14th April, 1120, the building of the present fabric, which is. says Godwin, a very elegant one, being 300 feet long, and 30 broad, and adorned at the west end with two stately towers of great height, and a neat Chapel of our Lady, a woo k truly magnificent, and to be remembered with honour by poiteiity In 1478, Bishop Marshall became a great benefactor to this Cathedral, in beautifying it by fic&co painting, and by an altar piece of free-stone." It is a melancholy task to contrast its early beauty with its present deformity. „ Browne Willis, in his prefatory epistle to his Survey of the Cathedral Chuich of LlandatT, writing in the year 1715, des- cribes it as having fallen into a most deplorable decay within tho last few years;" and thus touchingly expresses his reasons for undertaking his work Wherefore it was that after a sad contemplative test so glorious a structure as this church, honoured by being the ancientest Bishop's see in the Kingdom (dS we have evident authority to show) raised, enriched, and beautified by the piety of so many noble founders, should be utterly destroyed that I forthwith," &c., &c. It is to prevent the accomplishment of this anticipated evil, to stay and repair the ravages of time, that I now appeal, with confidence to pub- lic generosity, toindividua) laste, and above all, to national piety. To that natural inquiry-" W hat have you done for your- selves ?—How far have you put your shoulders to the burthen 1" we answer—we have done what we could. We have, at oar own capitular cost, placed a new covering of lead over the whole o t the roof of the Cathedral, the aisles, and the ohapel. We have raised a new ceiling within we have a)so,fromourown private, as well a from capsular resources, assisted by the clergy and some leading persons of the diocese, effected the complete restoration of the Welsh chapel, in a manner entirely approved by competent judges and men of taste. Our desire now is to carry on the work of improvement in the Cathedral at large. How tar this desire may be accomphshed must depend upon the extent of our means. Earnestly do we hope that your liberality may enable us to effect a complete res- toration of the beautiful and venerable fabric; but. should our funds ptove insufficient for the immediate execution of that purpose, we are justified in expecting that enough may be col- lected, not only to execute the extensive improvements now in hand. but to carry forward its gradual restoration upon a settled and uniform plan, and in a style of architecture corresponding with the noble remains of the ancient edifice. What then remain unfinished may be completed by the piety of those who follow us in the good work. Care being studiously taken to do nothing oufselves which they may wi h undone but, on the contrary, to leave them an example, which shall at once guide and encou- rage them in prosecuting the same design. That wishes and efforts having such an object in view will be met hy the public with a willing heart and a liberal hnnd, we entertain no doubt. We are far from reflecting upon the want of taste of our predecessors, who, near a century ago, refitted the church for Divine service, after it had lain 30 years in ruins. They did what they could, according to the style of that age- when the art*, and, more especially, architecture were in this country at the lowest ebb. We are anxious to remedy those defects. We appeal to an age far more wealthy, and far better taught, to supply us with funds, which they may be sure will now be applied with equal zeal, but with infinitely better effect. We call upon the lovers of our reformed chuich to lend a friendly I hand to this pious work—to help us when struggling in a good I cause—labouring to change a disfigured, but still a venerable, structure, into a form worthy of its solemn and holy purposes, and corresponding with the dignity of a Cathedral Institution. Without such aid, the object is unattainable. We shall still, I indeed, make the attempt; let it not be said that you looked on with indifference, and that, in consequence of that indifference, our attempt has been unsuccessful. WILLIAM BRUCE KNIGHT. Postscript by the Dean of Llandaff.—Nov.. 1845, I will not, by any addition of my own, weaken the force which the above appeal must cariy with it, in coming, as it were, from its author's tomb, who still, however, lives in the hearts and memories of all the members of the diocese, to which it is, in the first place, addressed but still I cannot feel satis- fied that it should go forth unaccompanied by the declaration, bow near to my own heart is the cause thus pleaded by my be- loved and venerated predecessor; and what delight it will afford me to co-operate, by every means in my power, in the exertions which, I am sure, this address will call forth.

Author of Poetical Translations of The Elegies and Epic Poem of Tibullus," "The Satires of Persius," and .t The Sorrows of Ovid;" author of" Gherado andBianca: a Poem," "The Banks of the Wye," &c., &c. THE friends of this learned gentleman, for a length of time, l have had it under consideration to present him with some Testimonial, as a memorial of the admiration in which they hold his literary acquirements and great genius, their love for his private virtues, and for that benevolence which, even to self-denial, has been manifested in a thousand instances to the poor around him, and as a tribute of gratitude for the pleasure afforded them on numerous occasions by his extraordinary elo- quence to this we may add-and as a proof that the son of genius, the man of talent, and the manifestation of a benevolent heart, will not go without their reward at the hands of the peo- ple of Abergavenny and its neighbourhood. An opportunity has at length occurred for carrying these wishes into effect, and it has been determined to open a public subscription for the purpose of presenting the learned gentle- man with a Testimonial suited to his merits. Mr. Reynolds has been a long resident in this neighbourhood, and his merits, as a public character, and as a private indi- vidual, are so warmly appreciated, that the committee deem it unnecessary to make any further remark. The members of the committee feel confident that the public will immediately and heartily respond to their call. HENRY THOMPSON, Secretary.

GRAND PICTUKK EXHIBITIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF EUROPE. ANNOUNCEMENT THE Proprietors of the Illustrated London News are again enabled to make one of those joyous announcements to their readers, which are ever sources of pleasurs, in the propor- tion in which their fulfilment tends to the profit and enjoyment of the pubiic. The perfect honesty of principle and purpose with which the above journal has continued its career, has maintained for it the undeviating coniidencc of those who placed reliance upon its early promise, aod have had no reason to regiet their trust. This is the boast of the proprietors; and it will be seen that they uphold their right to it. It was in this spirit that-destined little to profit, but much to please-they prepared those magnificent commemorations of their early p;i!ronage, and afterwards confirmed prosperity- the Grand View of London—and superb Panorama of the 'Fharnes-presented, at fitting intervals, to the readers of this journal. It is in the same spirit that sow-towards the close ofits seventh volume, and another year—with foot fino in the stirrui)-grati- tude inspiring, and confidence insured—theProprietors announce their intention to present their readers Itil noble presents, in appropriate form, and with ihe best gen;us and illustration that modem art can afford, and without a thought of expense, MAGNIFICENT PICl URES OF THE PRINCIPAL CITIES OF EUROPE. It is not more the proprietors' determination that their production shall surprise all who receive them, than that the failhtul illus- trations ihemselves shall become so many records and monn ments of what the good will and hearty friendship of the pub- lie enabled the first illustrated newspaper in the nineteenth century to achieve. Edinburgh and Dublin put forth their sister claims wi'h London and the Illustrated London News may well aspire to reflect, on a grand scale, the chiefest cities of Europe, when not Europe, nor any territory short of the whole known woild, is able to affix a limit to its circulation. The minute details of the plan, in presenting these magnificent pictures to subscribers, will be immediately plactd at their dis- posal. For the present, the proprietors are glad to blievt: that there is not one of them who will not feel confidence and pleasure in its plain announcement. The number of the journal, with the presentation print, price 6d. No extra charge will be made. The first piint, a View of the City of Dublin, will be presented early in the new year. The new year, it is confidently expected, will considerably increase the already large circulation of the Illustrated London News, which has already reached siaty thousand copies weekly and the subsclibers may rest assured no exertion or expense will be spared to add to the attractions of this journal. The Illustrated London News may be had, hy order, of all Booksellers and Newsmen throughout the world. l;rice,26s. per annum. Published every Saturday, price 6d., at the Office, 198, Strand, London. Should any difficulty arise in remote districts, in pro- curing the Illustrated London News, a remittance sent to the Office in Loudon, for any period, will meet with immediate at- tention, and the paper duly forwarded.
