THOMAS STEPHENS. The remains of thomas Stephens, the distinguished author of the Literature of the Cymry, and other works of great merit, were yesterday interred ia the beautiful cemetery near ,< Jefncoedycymifttr, by the rugged Taff, and amidst the lomantic scenery of l>rec>ushire—a fit resting place for a true son of "Uwyilt Waiia." Mr Stephens was not an ordinary man. His extraordinary abilities and fine character will be more and better appieciated in ages to come thau they were during his lifetime. Like all truly great men Stephens was modest and unassuming, and was tht-refore unobserved by the crowd but the obser- vant critic-saw his real worth, and admired his rare abili- ties and splendid literary achievements. He engaged the friendship of the late Chevalier I'iunsen, one of the greatest scholars of his day. That distinguished man said of the essay, Ou Trial by Jury, for which Stephens t'btaujt.d the prize at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod iu a, that it was one of the finest wnv' s he had read, and th« a *'°Pe that he would becoue acquainted with fcretit *•" ■kadsr CharlotteSchreibei (alady whohasdone of SteT-v.rV*ce lo ^7ales) was a great friend and admirer ^tet-<xtui>nSf an(^ was through h v liberality that the f d'nitted i-$e KW*ry was jjub' e.l.
