"Hen Lenyddiaeth y Cymru." The inaugural meeting of the Welsh Society for this session was held at the Free Library on Wednesday evening in last week, when an address was given by the President, Prof. Anwyl, the suoject of which was" Hen Lenyddiaeth y Cymru." (the Ancient Litera- ture of the Wehth). There was a large at- tendance, which augurs lyeIl for the suc- cess of the Society winter. Professor Anwyl, as usual, proved himself to be a master of his theme, and the interest of his hearers was Sustained unflagged to the end. Jsot many nations, he said, could boast that their literature was older than the Welsh Julius Caesar had said that the Druids had literature, %hich they taught to others Poetry was not unknown to the ancient Celts, ar,1d they handed it down from gen- eration to generation., Before the advent of the Romans, the art of writing was prac- tised by the inhabitants of this country. The word bardd," meaning poet, was one of the oldest words in the Oeltic languages, and the word could be found in all these languages. Its original signifiance was mynegydd. The poet held an official position in the Court. It was 00 in Howell the Good's Court. The Celtic nation was not a small nation in olden times, for it inhabitated the middle of Europe and part of Asia, and it had been discovered that the language of Galatia was similar to the one of ancient Britain. But after all, it was comparatively late when manuscripts in Welsh arrte into existence. The oIde manuscript wa^ the "LJyfr Du Caerfyrddin" written in the twelfth "entury. It was Bignificant that ir the rergious writings of the ancient Welsh, there was no inentirm I of purgatory. Of their poliev. tfie oldest was the heroic poetry, which dealt with the deeds of their heroes, and it should be. the lecturer added, the aim of poetry to kpep on record the great achievements of the i)ast. the motion of Prof. Edwards. M,A.. seconded by Mr C M Williams. the cx-Mayor, a vote of thanks was rinso^d to 1 .Professor Anwyl for his interesting address. New v.

James, widow of Mr. Abraham James, JUoiy bont, the well-known tanner. She had reached the ripe old age of 87 having been bocMi at W ileirog, Clarach, in March, 1821. Her health had been gradually failing tor the last months but it was only three days betore her demise, that she became seriously ill. Of an exceedingly bright and lovable dis- j position, she had a wide circle of friends, while she was held in the most affectionate regard by her children, grand-chiid-ren and great-gandchiidren. Of the eleven children, issue ox hex marriage, one son and six daughters survive her, the surviving son, James Watkin James, being a mining agent in Australia. Dr. Thomas James, her eldest son, died some thirty years ago, while her second son, Mr. Richard James, Broncas- tell, had also predeceased her many years a^o She was the mother of the late Coun- cillor Evan Hugh James. Her six daugh- ters are alive, and they are Mrs. John Lloyd, Mrs. Evans, Lewisham; Mrs. T. W. Powell Aberystwyth; Mrs. Watts, Kil- burn; Mrs. Rowlands.

An appropriate service was conducted by the two ministers who have been her pastors, the Rev. T. E. Roberts, Shiloh, and Rev. Caron Jones, Borth.

The House of Lords.A- largely-attended meeting of the members of the Liberal Club was held on Tuesday night to discuss the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill. Councillor T. J. Samuel, the president, who was in the chair, said he trusted the Prime Minister would not take the action of the House of Lords lying down, and that he would devise some method of overcoming the difficulty with which the Liberal Party was faced.—Professor T. A. Levi moved the following resolution:— "That we. the members of the Aberystwyth Liberal Club. condemn the action of the House of Lords as being contrary to every principle of British Liberty and that we earnestly ask the Government to begin the fight against that house at the first favour- able opportunity, and to call upon the country to decide the question." The mover said he knew there was a feeling in the country in favour of a second chamber, and he did not think it would be any use trying to abolish or reform it. He also did not consider that the referendum was a satis- factory solution, nor was the proposal to create a large number of Liberal peers. The most effective remedy in his opinion was to pass a resolution limiting the veto of the Hou.se oi Lords to one session only.— Councillor D. C. Roberts seconded the re- solution, and said the government of the country was now in the hands of one man. The dictatorship of Mr. Balfour was worse than the monarchical system of Germany.— Mr. B. Taylor LI oyd. Councillor Daniel Thomas ,Mr. Griffith Williams, Mr. Thomas Lewis, Mr David Davies (Talfan). Capt. T. Doughton, and others Iso took part in the discussion.—The resolution was unanimously carried, and it was decided that copies of it be sent to the Prime Minister, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P.
