WEDNESDAY. The proceedings commenced with a procession from the Town Hall, preceded by the band of the Royal Glamorgan Miitia; trumpeters of the Eisteddfod playing the March of Men of Harlech. After which came the Most Noble the Marquess of BurE, the President of the Eisteddfod, sup- ported by the Right Hon. Sir John Nicholl; after these came J. Nicholl, Esq. M.P., J.J. Guest, Esq. M.P., and B. Hall; Esq. M.P., Vice- Presidents, followed by the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Hev. Bruce Knight and the Rcv. Mr. Price of Crickhoweil, the Judges, and by the Rev. John Webb, and Whitlock Nichol, Esq. Judges of Welsh music; then came the Honorary Secretaries, T. W. Booker alld E. P. Richards, Esquires, following came Ccjl. Morgan, Constable of Cardiff Caslle, the other members of the Committee, about 40 in number, with Mr. Parry, Conductor of the Festival and Bard Alaw. On arriving in the grounds of the Cusfle, a circle was formed, and Mr. Taliesiu Williams opened the Eisteddfod according to ancient form and usa^e with a short address in Welsh, which we regret to be obliged to postpone the insertion of Until another opportunity. After this cere- mony was concluded, the procession moved on to the platform elevated at one end of the Grand Marquee for their reception. At this moment the view was really superb, for beneath the awn- ing of the marquee appeared all array of native beauty rarely to be equalled and a vast concourse of well-dressed individuals. After the gentle- men composing the procession had taken their seats on the platform, a flourish of trumpets, com- manded silence, and the Noble President of the Eisteddfod proceeded in due form to explain the business of the day. The Marquess of BUTE rose and spoke nearly as followsBeing called by »he good-will of my neighbours to the honour ol presiding in this Assembly, I have to return them my sincere thanks for this proof of their favourable opinion. It is indeed only a renewal of the kindness which I have on many occasions received from them; but if on any one occasion more than on others I have found reason to doubt my sufficiency, it is on the present that I feel it; I will however endeavour to dis- charge the duties which belong to the President of the Eisteddfod. (Applause.) And here I would say, that if this Assembly consisted only of natives of the district in which the Eisteddfod is held I should consider it unnecessary to do more than simply to open the Eisteddfod but as there are many present from different parts of England, I feel that 1 should fail in a material part of my duty it I did not offer a few words on the meaning of Eisteddlodau. (Applause.) There is no object to which-! conceive it more proper to afford encouragement and support than that which we are met to promote. What an Eisteddfod, in all the splendour of its attributes, ought to be, will be far better explained to you by a Reverend fripnd here present but when 1 speak of an Eisteddfod of the present day, I speak of it as a thing which I consider particularly deserving en- couragement. The Eisteddfodau shew a character of good-will and harmony and kindness, joining together all persons of Celtic origin, in one delight of social attachment and literary enjoyment. They are meetings in which we are desirous to shew our attachment to the literature and language of our forefathers to recall to memory the history of for- mer davs, and to shew the regard that we ever °herish to our departed ancestry. The objects of an Eisteddfod are in every way worthy the applause and approbation of good men; they are, to promote lite. rature, to afford an amusement the most innocent and unalloyed, to excite the mind in noble emula- tion in no instance can they be proved to have pro- duced or tended to produce one objectionable result, and the more they are repeated, the more they are known and looked into, the more it will be shewn that, with literature, harmony and good-will are the purposes pursued and promoted. (Applause.) Thev have indeed been objected to as fostering an attachment to the Welsh language, it is said to the exclusion of the English but to this the answer is plain, that to draw attention to the el^h lan- S»age i9 a good, for if it be R general object to promote the cultivation of literature assuredly that object is most promoted by drawing the attention of an ancient nation to the literature that by birth and language is essentially their own. (Applause.) 1 say this, not in flattery to this part of the country because we are here assembled on such an occasion, hut because in all places, whether in Ireland or in Wales, in England or in the Highlands of Scotland, a cultivation of the living literature of the country has been found fhe only m<?ans ol fixing a love ot literature, and of leading the human mind, from the delights of the pursuit of literature up through the treasures of acquired knowledge, to the comprehen- sion of the great attributes of the Deity and to veneration of religion. (Applause.) When on the continent of Europe it has been attempted to assem- p ble conquered nations under the yoke of one dominion, and for this purpose to extirpate the language of the people, which is the great store- house of their long-treasured recollections, the distinctive barrier of their nationality, the attempt invariably has failed, though made by political power tor political purposes with every effort both of force and art. We find also that those who are most acquainted with the literature and the history of their own country have also the most extensive acquaintance with general literattive. The nations which retains Celtic languages have all an anxious desire to preserve the ancient history oftlieircoui)tt-y tiiid we may ascribe to Celtic origin much of the English language. Let those who objec! to the pre- servation of the Welsh language remember that in this part of the country exists the real aud ancient language of the English nation. Many of those English words, which we are content to trace to Latin or Roman origin, have their real roots in the language of Wales. (Applause.) And it must be some recom- mendation of this language to those who are front England, that words which, to their ears, dis- fouant asid unintelligible, convey no (signification, have amidst the hills and rivers, the waving- forests ",tnd the verdant guolls of Wales, a living exp. essi«ti of the imagination aud thoughts aiid reelings with which the ancestors of the English people, in ancient day. were animated and moved. (Applause.) Ilear that I owe some apology to the Welsh part of the audience, that hitherto my address to them haa been wholly in English, but 1 can assure them that this proceeds from 110 want of respect to their ancient language. Ocs y byd i'r laith Gymraeg'" Loud and long continued applause followed the speech of the Noble President, after which The Rev. Mr. Price, of Crickhoweil, one of the Judges, then commenced a most eloquent address of which the following is but a faint sketch. They were arrived, he commenced, at one of those demon- strations of national feeling as honourable to their country as they were unique among the usages of the world. At what time the peculiar character ot nations was given he could not pretend to deter- mine, whether the characteristic distinctions of nations were comrhunicated to them by a sudden and instantaneous fiat or acquired by gradual progress; whether at the great dispersion of mankind on the plains of Shenar the various tribes of the earth'were severally stamped with an indelible impression and like the metal from the forge tempered at once into that state of moral and intellectual distinction which they were ever after to retain, or whether the peculiar characteristics of each were the result of successive and fortuitous causes he could not take upon himself to define but this he would undertake to assert, that in whatever cause it may have origi- nated the race of the Cymry had from the earliest dawn of their history displayed a character no less marked and decided than their fortunes had been varied and extraordinary. Two thousand rears have now elapsed since the first authentic records of the Cymraig race had com- menced, and yet they remained, nationally speaking the same unchanged people. During that time what various tribes had appeared upon the continent of Europe and vanished away for ever; and what various languages had been heard in every country from the Danube to the At antic, and yet the race ot the Cymraig possessed at the present day the self same mountains they occupied two thousand years ago, spoke the same language that had then awakened their forefathers to patriotism and deeds of glory. The struggles of the British nation against the Roman power were too well known to require illustration. At least it is sufficient to observe that the reduction of the te ritory of Wales was considered an event of such importance as to call for a triumph among the Roman people and in au especial manner to occupy the pen of the most elo- quent among the Roman historians and, Tacitus when recording the event cannot withhold the tribute of applause which their valour commanded. It was the men of Gwent and Glamorgan of whom he spoke when he called the brave and warlike race of the Siltires-ralitlain et pugnncem Kiiurum gentem. The Rev. Gentleman then enlarged at some length on the contests of the ancient Britons with the Saxon invaders, and in those struggles they achieved what no other civilized world could boast of; they stemmed the torrent of the Gothic inunda- tion and stood alone as the only people of the European world.who maintained their territory, their language, and their independen e against the force of that mighty deluge. As an instance of the inces- sant appeal, to the patriotism of the nation and readiness to respond to them, a contemporary Bard informs us that one Chieftain alone encountered their ferocious invaders upwards of seventy times— Cadwallawu cyu no'i ddyfod A'i gorug, yn digonoi, Pedair prif cad ar ddcg Am brifdeg Brydain, A thriugain cyfarfod. Cadwallawn before he was slain fought f>>r fair Britain fourteen pitched battles and sixty skir- mishes. The Rev. orator produced neveral other instances of devotion to the cause of country which in all ages distinguished the inhabitants ot the Principality, confirming his statements by re- ferences to the works of the most celebrated Bard" from whom he gave many appropriate citations, ill which we have not space to follow him. But al- though the days of conflict and violence which called forth the sterner virtues of their race had long gone hy, lie trusted never to return, yet he would maintain that the spirit of patriotism which gave -i,e to these laudable actions among their countrymen wa IStillw existence and always ready to be displayed i)(Ilievel, occasion should demand. And although the present festive meeting was very ditietent in its character to those deadly "encounters to which he alluded as de- scribed in the early works of the Bards, yet the demonstration of national feeling then elicited was to him a sure pledge that the amor patrice still remained among them unextinguished. His countrymen, he was thankful to say, were not among the number of those who disregarded all local and natioual attachments; they were not citizens of the world J they despised the heartless cliaiaett-r and whether among the fertile va'.es of Glamorgan, or the rugg-ed fastnesses of Stiowdon, they beii~!d 4routid them the fields which their foiefathers til"e (I and defended, and felt a consciousness that the fire of Gwladyarwch still glowed among them with undi- miuished ardour. Surely he would be no friend to his country or to his species who would wish to extinguish one spark of the sacred name. As the author of Guy Mannering observes," we are not made of wood or stone, and the things which connect themselves with our HEARTS and habits cannot like bark or lichen be torn away without our missing. The Hev. Gentleman concluded by congratulating H.s countrymen upon the perpetuation of this fceliug ID nationality amongst them, and respectfully requested permission to extend his congratulations to those whose rank in life entitled them to exercise a mor;* extensive influence over those aiouud them and lie felt assured that if ever the day arrived in which the peasantry should be called upcit to exet-t themseives in an uuusualmanller that these feelings of patriotism and national attachment would be found among tlie most powerful and effectual suppoits of public honour and security. The Noble President then called upon the Rev. Chancellor Kuight to declare the decision of the Judges. The Rev. W. Bruce Knight spoke nearly as follows; My Lord, Ladies and GeiitlerneLil- I hold in my hand the decision to which my brother Judges and myself have unanimously agreed, iu respect to the merits of the compositions for the prizes at this Eisteddfod; but before 1 begin 1 have been requested to explain the nature of Eisteddfodau to those persons who hitherto have been unacquainted witli I hem, and to ofier tothisi brilliant assembly some remarks upon the objects which they are intended to promote. These objects are two- first the preservation and recovery of vulu- ablc' documents connected with our history aud literature, which might otherwise be lost; and secondly, the encouragement aud sustentation of May the Welah Language flourish till the old of the world.

GWENT AND DYFED P, Of A L EISTEDDFOD. On Wednesday last this grand and truly pa- tional Festival commenced atCardifl, the countv town of Glamorgan. The company began to pour into Cartlifi' in considerable numbers on Monday, and on Tuesday evening the noise of bustle and preparation, the rumbling of carriages, and greetings in tlie market place" presented a scene of great animation and excitement. Stran- ge"r8 from distant parts of all ranks and degrees, some in splendid equipages but more in the garb ot honest pedestrianism, were traversing the busy streets surveying a place connected with so many interesting recollections, orseeking their quarters and invoking the rites of hospitality. The con- course exhibited society in all its diverse shades and gtadations front the peer to the peasant, and whilst the metropolis contributed its fashionables and most distinguished characters, the rural beauty of our sunny and laughing vales hastened likewise to give a roseate grace to the feast, and the hardy tenants of our bleaky hill sides teeming with hidden treasure and a na- tions wealth crowded to the spot of attraction, even from the sleeps of rugged SnOwdon. Hearts beat high with expectation of the morrow, expectation was on the tip-toe for a sight with which so many of the first and dearest associations of hoine and beloved country were interwoven. Some slighVshowers which at intervals had fallen on the Tuesday added a higher zest to expectancy from the anxiety lest aught untoward in wind or weather might mar the festiv. 1 or detract from its anticipated enjoyments. But the sun of Wed- nesday arose brighter and more cheering by con- trast with tiie light and flickering clouds in which it was occasionally embosomed, and as eleven o'cioi k drew nigh, the hour at which the grand procession was to muster and enter the gales of the Cardiff Castle so renowned in story, the streets presented on every side a female love- liness in all its most varied forms and sparkled with colours variegated, brilliant and changeful as thosfof th e rainbow. At the hour of 12, the throngs J moving about in all directions but more especially in the neighbourhood of the Castle bore a minia- ture resemblance to those of London on a Gala day, and as the procession marshalled according to ancient and approved form ar- rived on the Castle grounds with a flourish of trumpets and band playing, the effect was picturesque in a high degree, and in a higher still interesting All hearts beat high with that intensity of delightful yet affecting anticipation which only those know and those can experience in whom the love of country and of kind glows with all the accumulated ardour inspired by cen- turies of distinction, national existence, aiiii tin- tional reminiscences who glorify themselves in the legacy bequeathed by an ancestry of high and virtuous renown, who feel that the untarnished Otis splendour of their descent reflects high honour on nations, and confers dignity on the individuals composing it; who know that in venerating their sires—in paving a holy tribute of remembrance to their ashes-they will beg:, t themselves to pre- serve and to defend the nobie privileges and the UnspoUed fame conquered for and bequeathed to them as a sacred legacy which they are bound to transmit, unshorn in all their attributes, un- blemished in all their brightness, unstained in all their purifv, to their descendants and successors. Such is, such may ever be, the truly British, the truly Cambrian sentiments of this honoured Prin- cipality. Honour be to Wallia—honour to its brave and worthy sons—-honour to its daughters -fairest among the fair, rich beyond compare in aJi those native graces of health, blooming loveliness and simplicity to imitate which is beyond the reach as it is accounted the highest pitch of art. Rugged as are the mountains amidst which they dwell, vet are they mines of wealth unsurpassed by the gold and silver treasures of New Spain, whilst than its varied and smiling vallies not Tempe's vale renowned can boast more ever blooming softness and fertility whilst than Gla- morgan, the garden of South Wales, Italia the. long famed garden of a world may challenge superiority in vain. Cambria is, and it will daily slill more become the brightest gem in the diadem of a British Monarch. Even in its rudest dress it must ever be dearest and present to its children wherever they may wander or their fate be cast. At home or abroad, amidst its heart-stirringscenery or roaming in distautciiines, still will they adopt the language and share the feeling of that great poet whose verse is of every clnne, and whose works belong to all mankind— Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the Hood Land of my Sires what mortal hand Shall dare unloose the filial band, That binds me to my native strand. Before proceeding to a sketch of the formali- ties and routine of the day we may premise that among the countless visitors of tin; Eisteddfod we noticed the following distinguished and honourable persons The Marquess and Marchioness of Bate The Earl of Lindsey The Countess of Lindsey Lord and Lady Willoughby de Broke Lord and Lady Rodney -Lord Eilenborough The Right Hon.

Many opulent and influential persons were pre- vented from attending in consequence of severe ill- ness in their families, and other unavoidable dis- appointments. The Llamvern family were prevented attending by the sudden and, at one time, alarming illness of Sir Thomas Salisbury, Bart. Col. Wood, M.P. by the illness of a daughter. Colonel Tynte M.P. (whose absence was especially regretted, re- presenting as he did the very ancient tamily of Kemevs of Cefnmably) was detained by his daughter being taken ill on the road. The families of Cle menston and Coedriglan were absent from the ill- ness of Mrs Franklen and the Rev. J. M. Traherne. The death of Mr. Crawshay deprived us of the lamily of Hensol Castle, of the Rev. Geo.-Thomas and Lady of Llandaff Court, and of the large party from Glanusk Park (Joseph Bailey, Esq.) who had fully intended being present.
