DAVID'S DAY COMMEMORATION.—A mns'cal and literary meeting in connection with the above was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday ni«ht, March 1st, under the presidency of Mr E. Ibblt,S: mayor.

Edwards, Lewis Jones, Revs. J. F. Reece, and W. Jeukiu. The chairman, who on rising to open tho proceed- ing was received with loud applause, said, th it as they were all aware, they had come together that night to ceiebiv.te the memory of their patron saint. The Welsh had been an object of obloquy f.,r their attachment to the eisteddfod,but no one could blame them for their enthusiasm for their patron saint, because the English had their St. George, and the Irish their St. Patrick, and why not the Welsh their St. David ? It was said of St. Patrick that he did much good in Ireland by clearing the country of vermin,and he could not but wish that another patron saint might again appear to clear much worse vermin of the present day (cheers). With regard to the English patron saint he was always talked of a3 St George and the Dragon but it was prettv cJer by this time that the Dragon never existed, and consequently the chances were that St. George never existed either, except as a mere chimera in the imaginat on of its devotees But as to JSt. David, there was no deubt what- ever about his existence. They knew some- thing about his histor. and 'what manner of life he led, and in their celebration ef his birth- day they endeavoured to be in harmony with his useful career.
