GRAND BANQUET AT WYNNSTAY. SIR WATKIN'S ENTERTAINMENT OF HIS TENANTRY. The hospitality of Wynnstay is proverbial; but it has rarely been exhibited on so grand a scale as yesterday (Friday), when Sir Watkin W. Wynn, Bart., M,P., gave a splendid fpast to 750 of hia tenantry, as a slight return for the numerous expressions of sympathy, and the many loyal addresses of congratulation which were presented to him wherever he WENT among his tenants and de- pendants after his recovery from his late severe indispo- sition. There is nothing more gratifying than to find a good understanding subsisting between landlord and tenant, especially in the case of a lord of the manor whe can boast of such a rent-roll as Sir Watkin; and however much this sentiment may be said to prevail between "landlord and tenant in other parts of the kingdom, we may venture to affirm, without fear of contradiction, that there is no landed proprietor from John O'Groat'A to Land's End who is more universally popular, or who stands higher in the estimation of those about him, and of those who farm his estates than the lord of Wynnstay, the genial kind-hearted gentleman, whose name is a household word in North Wales, and indeed throughout the Principality. In feudal times, the baron was to his retainers an object of almost idolatrous veneration and whenever in an civil strife he deemed it neces- sary to take up arms at the bidding of loyalty and patriotism, they were ready to follow him to the fray, to rally round him in the thickest of the fight, and- to lay down their lives in his service. Happily our lot is cast in more peaceful times, and there is no longer any occa- sion to put such devotion to tr e test; but the old spirit still iurvivcs, though in a modified form, and manifests itself in the joyful acclamations with which Sir Watkin Williams Wynn is everywhere and at all times received by his tenantry. There being no building at Wynnstay eapable of accommodating such a monstre dinner-party, it was necessary to serve the banquet in a spacious canvas pavilion which was erected near to the mansion, and a large staff of workmen were busily engaged on Thursday in fitting it up for the occasion. All tenants whose rent IS £10 and upwards received invitations. The caterer was Mr G. H. Browning, of Spring.street, i Paddington, who caters for the Grand Stand at Ascot every year, and to this gentleman was entrusted the commisariat for between seven and eight hundred guests, he providing everything except the game, venison, and wine, which were furnished by Sir Watkin. That he realised his position, and resolved to make adequate provision for the emergency is evident from the fact that no fewer than a hundred waiters arrived from London on Thursday, together with about a dozen cooks. The tent, which was supplied by Mr Blake, of Ealing, was tastefully festooned from end to end with evergreens and decorated with bunting, the decorative department being superintended by Mr Middleton, the head gardener. The tefct was illuminated at dusk by numbers of lamps suspended from the roof. The tables were placed cross-wise, and at one side of the tent was a Gïas and raised table for Sir Watkin and the principal guests, amongst whom were Mr C. W. Williams Wynn, M.P. for Montgomeryshire; Mr W. W. E. Wynne, Peniarth, Lord the Hon Edward and Miss Kenyon, CN- Rowley Conwy, Bodrhyddan, Ehvl; Captain Buik Clewer Lodge, Windsor; Lady Williams,Bodehvyuu. Japtain Williams, Pengwern Mr Owen Williams, Rev- H. Williams Mr William Jones, GwrgantMrs Owen Wynne, Mr Owen S. Wynne, the Eev Studhoime WILSON, KI,V E. Evan?, Mr Deninan (chief constable of Denbighshire), Hev E. Evans, Rev R. T. Owen, Mr, Mrs, and Miss Yorke, Etddig Mr Longueville, Mr O. G. Jones, Miss Brancker, &c., &c. Immediately in frost of it was one for the representatives of the press. The tables were beautifully set out, and there;was of course an abundance and great variety of fare; and the assembly were seated the coup d' aeil was sufficiently striking. With- out attempting the menu, we may mention that pro- minent among the numerous dishes which graced the festive boards was a splendid baron of beef. At the rear of the platform on a sideboard covered with crimson cloth was a magnificent dis- play of gold and silver plate, CONSISTING of cups, tankards, and salvers. The central ornament was a massive silver vase containing ferns, &c., bearing the arms of the Wynnstay family, and the following inscription in English, Welsh, and Latin:—"To Colonel Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Baronet, the patriot leader of his brave countrymen during the Rebellion in Ireland and the invasion of France, as a memorial of his repeated voluntary services the county of Denbigh presents this tribute of esteem and gratitude. MDCCCXV." There was also a splendid silver salver bearing in its centre the family crest and embossed with facsimiles of coins found in Wynnstay Park; also a number of handsomely-framed addresses which have been presented 0 Sir Watkin hince his recovery. During the morning Sir Watkin's celebrated huuting pack was paraded about the grounds; the stables were also thrown open, and the house was also open to visitors. The Montgomeryshire tenantry travelled to Wynnstay by a special, leaving at eight in the morning; and the Bala, Oswestry, and other tenants arrived by ordinary trains. of company were to return home at half-past seven by special and ordinary trains. The rain, it raineth every dstJ," said the prince of bards; and the weather of the past week was never more truthfully described. 'Although the tent was tolerably impervious to the wet, the ground on which it was w., i1 l TROOFULLV FLOPPY condition. Three distinguished Welsh bards were present to assist in the MUSICAL D.'parhnont, Mr John Owen, of Chester, Owsiin Alaw," ,h Kiohard Davies, and Mr L-jwis, "Llew Llwyfo." The band of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry, under the ftblp direation cf Mr Walter Hay, ox Y-AVBY;afcury, was also engaged for the occa- sion, and performed GAME good selections during dinner, <:> It will BE recollected that, on Sir Watkin's first visit to Llangedwyn, after his recent illness, congratulatory addresses WERE r>esenterl to him. Oae was from the tenants of Llwydiarth estate and inhabitants of the parish of Llanlihargel. Ir expressed a hope that Sir Watkin AND Lady W illiams Wynn might be spared for many years to come to carry out and continue those works of benevolence AND chnitv which so eminently distinguished them. The address concluded as follows To these expressions of our affection and regard, we would add our earnest prayer that the blessing ot God may ever rest upon you and your children." To the address were attached 160 signatures. Time, however, had not permitted the tenants to have it illuminated and framed. But this was done in time for the dinner yesterday, when it was presented to Sir Watkin. The following particulars of it may be interesting. It is placed in a handsome frame 36 by 2f) inches in size. The address is surrounded by a white mount—the arrcorialbear- ingr of Sir W. W. Wynn are introduced at the head of the address, emblazoned in the heraldic colours. The initial letters are very elaborately designed and richly gilt, being tooled over with a burnished pattern, and had a very rich appearance. The border, which is most elaborately designed, consisted of the rose, shamrock, and thistle Q con- ventionally treated, and in place of the not very pleasing emblem of Wales—the leek—the arms of the Principality are introduced. The body of the address is in old English Court hand in use at the time of Elizabeth, and the signatures of the subscribers are appended at the bottom. The ground-work of the border is a pale yeilow with spots of gold, which, being I punctured and burnished, give a most sparkling appear- « nice to it. The work was executed, by Mr James Or" I Marples, of Liverpool and London Chambers, Liverpool, I who has recently held the honour of preparing an address from the Protestants of England to his Majesty the German Emperor, who was so pleased with it that in his reply, through Count Munster, he states that he has given instruc ions that it be hung up in ,his library, noL "enly for the sentiments which it contains, but because it is a masterpiece of art." MS- Marples has also had the honour to prepare addresses from the Corporation of Liverpool, to her Majesty the Queen, his Ko> al Highness the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburg, and the Duke of Connaught. the Duke of Westminster (from the City of Chester), Earl Grosvenor, &c., &c., besides numerous similar works, to almost all the crowned heads of Europe. Dinner was served at three o'clock. Sir Watkin of course was The president of the feast, and on his right were Lady Williams Wynn and the Misses Williams Wynn, and on his left Lady Williams. Dinner was served up in capital style, the waiting being unexceptionally good, and was carried out under the personal supervision of Mr Browning.

THE BANQUET, Grace having beet said by the Rev Canon Williams, Sir Watkin said: Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to drink to your lery good health, and so will Lady Williams Wynn (kud cheers). Itchyd dai Chwi (loud cheers). Sir Wattm then passed the cup to Lady Wil- liams Wynn, and the health of the guests was drunk amidst applause. Sir Watkin ther rose and said I suppose it is usual to say ladies and gintlemen," but as you are all my friends I will address you IS my friends" (loud applause). You will have, as I beleve, with very few exceptions, most of tho toasts given n your native language, and I am now going to give YJU the health of our Most Gracious Majesty the Quen. We are all loyal subjects of our Sovereign. Wh: should we, when we are assembled to- gether in the jrincipality, not follow the habits of all loyal peopla ? [ give you the health of Our Most Gracious Majesty the Queen" (cheers). God save tit Queen" was then sung by the company, Owen Alaw givig the air. Sir Watkin flen gave The health of the Prince and Princess of Waes." In doing so, he said: I am sorry that his healthhas caused him to go abroad, but again on the other iand, you must consider that upon the country over vaich his mother reigns the sun Bever sets (cheers). An since I have had the honour of being one of the refesentaiives of this county in Parliament, the QueenllS annexed the Empire of India to her throne-(appiuse)-aind we must all acknowledge how wise it is itihim to go and see the newly received countries of her realm. Perhaps it may be wrong in me to do j, but when I consider that my maternal grandfather was one of those who worked largely in the ANNEXED of the India Empire, it may be that thoae of Iff Montgomeryshire tenants who have been brought u on my es.ates, and know the cordial feeling which th representatives of that house and I have aINvd.% had towards each other are delighted as I have beertbat the Prince of Wales has gone to see that vast emp'e. As to the Princess I might have shown you her licture to-day, when she was at her earliest years. may say that her family and my late father- in-law r upun the most intimate terms; and therefore I trust tat the Prince may be induced at some time to come a'ongst you all (applause). I have no right to say sol)ut I trust and I think so. I cannot do belterhan give yu the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales (appose), Sir Watkin then said: We are all a peaceable peop', and many of you I believe belong to the auxiry forces; and I do not think when I have got her&he majors of two yeomanry forces and also the voluteers of this country, I can do better than propose to JU their health. When I look around me and see may of you collected together who would be as glsyi to del[}d your country, if ever it should be unfortunately NEESSARV, it is a happy thing to be able to say of this cc.ntry that it is something like 120 years since blood 1-ii been spilt in civil war in this country, and since a feign foe has been on British ground is something like ght hundred years. But still, as we have those with s who represent the forces I have referred to, allow 1e to couple with the toast the name of the Major of he Montgomeryshire Yeomanry, Major Charles Williams Wynn (applause). Major Charles Williams Wynn returned thanks, and said he felt more delicacy in responding to this toast as a brother officer was there who held the same rank as he did in the yeomanry of this county. On that ground he thought Major Rowley Can wy should have been called on to respond, and not himself. He was rather shocked to see that he hid himself and did not come to the front on this occasion (laughter), it was a bad omen for the county when its officers hung back (renewed laughter). However, he was willing to give him credit for the fact that whether he be inclined to turn his back on them or not-, he felt sure he would not do so in front of his regi- ment of yeomanry. He had been now some 30 and o'dd years in his regiment, and ho was quite certain that if that force were required it would do its duty whenever called upon efficiently at whatever sacrifice. It was an old force and a mo;t valuable one, and one he believed our rulers would be sorry to see extinguished. Perhaps it would be hardly too much to say that it was the real parent the Volunteer force, The old Volunteers had perished utterly, and the only ones that remained when the new organisation was called into force WAS the Yeomanry, and it was much upon the model cf the old force that the Volunteers of to-day had sprung up like the armed men in the fable—from the teeth of the dragon (applause). Sir Watkin, in giving the next toast, said: We have drunk now to those who we hope will never be called on to defend us; and now we are going to drink to those who minister to us, I know, looking upon this large assembly, that we are not all united in our modes of worship. I know that though I have been brought up to respect our National Church, there are many of those here who are not its members; but still I know that the ministers of other denominations have worked hard in distant parts amongst the heathen in the pro- motion of Chrisiiaqity (hear, hear), and to them we all must give our thanks. Many of you come from the diocese of BaHgor where you have an excellent bishop, who, although a Scotchman, has learned the Welsh language. In this diocese wo have a bishop who is one of the most eloquent bishops of the bench, and one of the best Welsh preachers I know and though of course I do not approve of all her Majesty's late Government has done, I think we may thank them for the bishop they have sent us (cheers and laughter). L therefore give you the health of "the Bishops and Clergy and Ministers of all denominations," and I take leave to couple with the toast the name of my old friend, Canon Williams. Canon Williams, in acknowledging the toast, said he thought he was the oldest clergyman present, and there- fore it had fallen to his lot to return thanks. He wished he could make a speech worthy of the occasion, but he was sorry to say that was a gift he had not attained. The clergy of this diocese were under great obligations to the noble family of Wynnstay, more particularly himself, with rrgard to the site of a church, a num- ber of acres of glebe, together with the site of a school- room with ample play-ground, all being the gift of Sir Watkin (applause). He was always a most liberal contributor to all Church objects, and therefore he wished him a long life and every happiness (applause). Sir Watkin then gave The health of the Members of Parliament." They happened to have two present, and perhaps this was one of the few occasions when they might see them sitting side by side. They had both been members of the House of Commons a groat many years, and both had the pleasure of admiring one another's faces (laughter). He gave them "The Members of Parliament," and should ask Mr Wynne and Mr Whalley to respond. Mr Charles Williams Wynne said Sir Watkin had very truly said that for a dozen years or more Mr Whalley and himself had had the pleasure of contemplating each other's countenances (laughter), and often and continu- ally as they had been opposed to each other in political matters, he was quite sure he would bear me out when he said that they had ever to the best of their abilities worked together in all that concerned the pros- pertiy of the Principality (applause). It was now more years than he cared to reiiipmber since he last saw a gathering of this size at Wynnstay. Their host had just then attained his majority. Probably there were not a couple of dozen out of all that were then present who remembered that day; but such was their hereditary attachment to the principle as landlord and tenant, that he had- no doubt that of those who were then assembled a very large preportion of the sons were listening to him that day. It was a happy and a pleasant feeling, and it was one which he thought the warmest antagonist to what had been called the feudal system would have some difficulty in finding fault with (hear, hear). The arrangement" was a voluntary one an either side. On the tenants' side, w they knew from their fathers and those who had gone before them what they had to expect; on the landlords' side he felt that those who had done their duty by him and his forefathers were not likely to leave sons behind them unworthy of that inheritance and ho could fancy no prouder position than that which Sir Watkin occupied that day (applause). In conclu- sion, he said he should leave Mr Whalley to answer for himself but 80 far as he was concerned he could only thank them for the honour they had done them (applause). Mr Whalley, in responding, observed that the House of Commons had existed but from yesterday compared with those relations between landlord and tenant to which -öjJr Wynn had referred; and the House of Commons might disappear to-moraow without "a regret leftbehiud. provided such relations could contine as were represented by that, gathering.. Mr Jenkins, Plas y ward, who had the honour of 4eing one of-Sir Watkin's tenants, proposed The health of Sir Watkin," observing that there was no toas' More heartily received by the tenantry; and he asked the n £ thej ought not to be proudo and to congratulate aamlver and their families upon the honour of dining with then landlord and Lady Williams Wynn, at their own liomt at Wynnstay. He hoped they were worthy tE"tg oj a worthy landlord (loud and continued applause;. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, who on lising was loudly applauded, said My friends, it hai pleifsed God to allow me to recover from a 'sevtje i;lnesB this spring, and since then I have received kiud- testi- monials and visits from very many of mv kind tenantry, and it was the wish of Laly Williams Wynn and myself that I might assemble yen here together to thank you all personally with one braath. It is, as my cousin has said, many years since all my tenants were assembled together here; it is before some of those who are here were born or thought of. When you come to think of a period of 34 years it is a long while to have been spared and have had the honour, happiness and pleasure of having such a tenantry as I have had (cheers). As to the duties of landlord and tenants, we have heafrd long discussions about it in another place; but I am happy to say that I do not think during the" m my years we have heard long discussions about in another place but I am happy to say that I do not think du ing these many years we h ve had many differences. If I were to tell you a story, perhaps you might think it bad taste in me to tell you a story of self-luuda ion. I did not quate it in the House of Commons where I might have done it; but it is a curious fact that when b < pie were saying that no man would invest money in a 1} other professsion except farming without le;.s_s. that 1 could in the next breath have said that Cobden had 1 ;id cut a large sum of money without either a lease or a promise of one. The Act of Parliament dealing with t us question is one of those Acts which it is •tcesdngly d.fficult to woik, and where there is a good feeling be- tween landlord and tenant. I do not think any Act of Parliament can be necessary. It is very difficult "to frame an Act of Parliament which will govern either party if they are determmed not to vork harmoniously together. I; it is the intention of the landlord to take every ad- vantage of the tenant's outlay, or, on the contrary, if it is thJ intention of the tenant to take every legal advantage of the landlord it is almost impossible to frame a good Act. But as I trust that the great majority of the landlords of England are blessed as 1 am with a tenantry who are willing to work for them, I hope that new Act will not be worked harshly, and that the landlords and tenants of England will be an example to all countries, and show how class and diss can work happily and harmoniously together (cheers). I am going this winter t(> io.-v;^ a and in countries where landlords an.i "<,1]. i u jt aG harmoniously together as they do in this happy country. I had one foreigner here to-day, and I wish more foreigners were here who could see how happily we all are together (applause). I beg now before I sit down to drink to all your good healths, and to couple with the toast the name of Mr Richards, of Glascoed. He lives in a house from which my immediate ancestors came. It is Lho house in which Sir Wiiliam Williams, the Speaker, lived, and I believe his family have lived there for many generations. I am afraid 1 canaotjun back beyond his mother—(a laugh)—but' I recollect her as the tenant some thirty or forty yjars ago. But it is, I believe, the place from which my family has sprung, ami landlord and tenant have lived together as harmoniously almost as every Oele of the people in this tent. I beg to give you the health of my tenants (applause). Mr Richards, in responding, said he echoed the voice of every tenant when he said that the kindness and hospitality shown them that day they wouid never forger. The way in which they had been received and shown the noble mansion and gardens, the stablls, and everything belonging to the place, he was sure was a great treat, and he expressed the sentiments of every tenant when he said that they thanked Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynne for their great kindness (ap- plause). Mr W. Jones, Gwrgant, then proposed the health of The Ladies," coupled with the name of Lady Williams Wynn, Miss Williams Wynn, and Miss Mary Nesta Williams Wynn. Mr W. W. Wynne, of Peniarth, returned thanks, and referred to some of his old recollections of the family. Sir Watkin then gave the health of a verv kind f.i nd unl near relative, who had worked hard in'bring- ing his estate into good order, Sir Hugh Williams. Capt. Williams responded, and said the health of his. father did not permit of his presence there that even- ing. Sir Watkin then said that since Sir Hugh Williams had etired from the active management of his pro %iy, his friend Mr Owen S. Wynne had undertaken the chaigel Ho was a gentleman well known to them ?J1 and had visit eft nearly all of them, and therefore he'would not take up their time by any long panegyric m his favour, except to say that he was a Welshman, that he was just,, aui he knew he was a gentleman (applause). He. was very zealous, and he tried as much ss he couid to'act fairly between landlord and tenant. He gave them the health of Mr Owen Wynne. Mr Owen S. Wynne having respondentia suitable terms, The proceedings shortly afterwards concluded. During the dinuer some songs in the two languages were given in capital style by Owen Alaw, Mynyddog, and a Welsh Quartette party. Sir Watkin was througheat the proceedings stno happy in his remarks, and his speeches were listened to with wra;jt sittent'.ca. Much to the pleasure of the audience he led oS the toasts in Welsh phra eology. The utmost harmony prevailed, and all seeme. to tho- roughly enjoy themselves. The day will long be re. membered by those who participated in its pleasures.

COEDPOETH. FOOT-AND-MOUTH I)ISEASr,We are glad to say that this disease is abating in the neighbourhood. Only two out of 2,1 places are now affected. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday morning last, at Tudor- street, Coedpoeth, a woman, named Mary Jones, aged 60 years, was found dead in bed. No one was with her in the house, and it was not until late in the morning that it was noticed that she had not got up as usual. One of the neighbours went through the back of the premises into the house and fouud her dead in bed. On Thursday an inquest was held on the body, before B. H. Thelwall, Esq., coroner, and the jury returned a verdict of found dead.

STEDMAN'S TEETHING POWDER—Mrs Hughes, of Beechfield, Poulton-le-Pylde, Lancashire, writes:—"I have used your teething powders regularly for nearly two years, and in no single instance have ] found them fail. No words of mine can half express the confidence f I have in them, nor convey aay idea of the great value and comfort they have been to me and many other mothers to whom I have recommended them."
