OWEN JONES MYFUR, "
OWEN JONES MYFUR, Of Upper Thames-street, London, Furrier. WHOSE late decease has been noticed, and whose character has been rejH-esented as an eminent antiquary and patron of Welsh lite- rature, in must of the journals of the times, deserves a more minute memoir. It is from this consideration that the following sketch of his habits, talents, and peculiarities is sub- mitted. In delineating the life, manners, and t, productions of an individual, the most difficult labour is to pieturc the person and tempera iiieut; on this occasion there is no effort required, a mere reference supplies the dcsi deratum for, whoever has read Mr. H. Sid- do't's treatise from the German, H On Gesture and Acliou" and noticed the print representing I- Phlegm,%> has seen a striking likeness of Owen Jones, corresponding with such as he was, in height of body, proportion of limbs, and physiognimical appearance. The habits of Mr. Jones, in social life, may be in a great measure perceived by the reference made to his accidental portrait. His days, from eight to eight, were spent in scraping of skins in his warehouse, fthere high or low characters, who might give a passing call, met with the like reception of inattention and short re- plies. His evenings, from eight to ten or twelve, he regularly passed at the Bull, at Walibroke. The npproach of this venerable man was known by his giving a summoning hem or two; on his entering the room, the persons assembled made way, as if it were to the civic chief; and three chairs were imme- diately handed forward, one for him to sit upon, and one upon each side, with their backs towards him, so as to form a grand and convenient arm chair. The luxury of the evening consisted of Welch-rabbits, porter, pipes, and mixed liquors; the conversation «enera!!y related to the Welsh language and customs, and to the poet whose works he had last paid for transcribing. The company was heterogenous, consisting of bards, men of bur den, harpers, fidlers, and lifers; and the ulti- mate business of the evening was always very iaterestmg, which was the discounting of a few good bills, at short dates, for friendly and deserving Welshmen. Such were the IUCll, brations of the parlour. The transactions ir the clu^-room on the first floor, were more meritorious. In this apartment, on everj Saturday, met a society entitled the Caracta ca;is, from Caractacus, fCaradog, the beloved, 93 and which should have been written Carac- tacians: the object was debate: and it was the first scene of declamation to many charac* ters who have since acquitted themselves ho. norably and eloquently in the senate and at the bar. Mr. J. always attended, and fre- quently presided, at those debates; but he never entered the listss an orator for on most occasions, not having sufficient learning b to comprehend the topics submitted iii-debate, it could not be expected that lie would under- take their discussion. In the Welsh Society of Gwyneddigion, or Veuedocians who assem- bled, and continue to assemble, in the same room on the first Monday evening in every month, Mr. Jones was in his proper Cambrian element. The object of this society is to promote Welsh literature, more particularly bardism, by offering a medal, annually, for the best poetic production on a given subject. Owen My fur, for so he was familiarly called, frequently gave, at his own expence, medals of from Si. to 51. value, and, on all occasions, subscribed in a generous manner. The diffe- rent compositions of the competitors were re- ferred to acommittee of a few members, to receive their adjudication Mr. Jones was always of such a committee, and his opinion of merit always prevailed but, it it is to be regretted, that such prevelancy in some in- stances was detrimental to superior talent; for his abilities were not equal to hw zeal, and his decisions were not welllempered.- The Gwyneddigion, like most Welsh societies in London, sing impromptus to the harp, in rotation throughout the circle assembled the verse composed usually runs in four fines, corresponding with the tune played-; and, whilst the bard sings extemporaneously to the harp, the next man sings the burden, and thus gives him some little intervals for con. ception and arrangement. Most men of either education or poetic gift, can perform this little effort of bardism with great ease, and to a happy effect. The subject of this memoir had a good ear and fine voice, and was iooked tIp to as the chief of the company; but there is no instance, within memorv, of his accom- panying the charms of music "wilh any speci- men of a glowing genius. In conversation Mr. Jones shewed a knowledge of the world, and what is termed good sense, and always expressed himself in a homely and abrupt manner. It was his pride to be thought the oracle and patron ofalKlhat is curious or va- tuabte in the hterary remains of the Ancient Britons. Big with the idea of a distant im- mortality as a man of tetters, he resolved to publish the works of the Welch bards which remained in MS. in public and private libra- ries, and had never appeared in print. For this purpose he solicited the assistance of asso- ciates. He was to find money, and his asso- ciates were to prepare the MS. for the press and by this co-operation, a compilation entl- tied the Mysurian Jrchaiologj/, (so called from Myfuf, his paternal estate in Wales,) was-extended to 3 vol. 8vo. under the edito- ralllames of Owen Jones, Edward Williams, Edward Jones, and William Owen; and offer- ed to the public at the price of one guinea per volume. The first volume is a very ex- cellent Corpus Poelicum the second is a body of idleand foolish tales: and the third consists of good and wise maxims and proverbs, triads, laws, and Welsh music in the natation of the middle ages. Mr. Edward Williams, the ve- nerable bard of Glamorgan, author of Lyric Poems, &c. in English fliimuiu, &c. in Welch, and whose name is dear to Cambria, contributed very largely towards the Archa- iology he was even pressed upon to render every possible service under the promise of an adequate remuneration. But how that promise was performed ts at present an ungracious in. quiry. It was in vain that the writer of this me- moir ir.heated the deceased in conversation, and finally by letter, to get theArchaiology put in boards, and to canseil to be distributed gratuitously among the learned of the princi- pality; Owen MJfur continued selfish to the last, and in consequence debarring himself of much reputation, and the Welch public of gratifying information. But the ititell-cled reputation of Mr. Jones was not founded on republication it was to rest on another pil- lar, namely, a cottection of MS. transcripts of the Welch bards, exceeding the collections of Dr. Davis, or Evan Evans. And for this pur- pose he employed Charles and Vaughan, when their time was unoccupied, to transcribe for him at so much per week, together with vic- tuals. By this gcand undertaking, Mr. Jones has left behind him two volumes in folio MSS. to be given to the Society of Antiquaries, of which he was a member; and from forty to filly copy books of about aquire each for the use of It's son, who is "OWall iiif'aiit. Ttie at- tempt of soaring above the high names of Dr. Davis and Evan Evans, as a more ample col- lector, has been successful to Mr. J. for they themselves transcribed, he. hired the assistance of otiiei,s to transcribe fur him but the pro- -•jriely of making a donation of the MSS. to the Antiquarian Societyiis very questionable; for there is not a who attends their meet- ings who can peruse the present; and it must be noticed, that it would be a hard case to im- pose upon the learned society the task of read- ing MSS. which tile testator had merely paid for the transcribing, and in fact was not able t' to read them himself. Having lhus staled the project of Mr. Jones, which was no other than the common adventures of an enterpris- ing bookseller and that his pretensions to bardism and British antiquities, were not ad- missible within the outworks of even elemen- tary knowledge the writer has only to hope that, in an enlightened age like the present, some of the natives of Wales professing means and requisite abilities, will be found patriotic enough to carry into actual execution, the publication of the bardic remains, with such illustrations as will make traditionary systems intelligible to modern times.

By the corn laws now existing, the impor- tation of foreign corn will be suspended for three months on the 15th of February, by the operation of the existing Act of 45 Geo. III. as the average price of the twelve maritime districts, at that period, will be found under the rate of 63s. per quarter, the limit prescrib- ed by that Act at which the high duty of 24s. 3d. on Wheat shall take place. The corn markets ia titecountry have risen, in contem. plation of this assistance. Austrian troops are assembling in great num- bers in the Venetiau provinces. Madame Calalani is on her return to Eng- land. At. de Yralabrique told his countrymen that his incomparable wife could get more money in an English Barn than in a French Theatre. At the close of a hunting party, in which the Duke of Richmond, and several other Eng- lishmen of distinction engaged, in the forest of Ardenues, they repaired to the famous vil- lage of l Hubert. The people, recollecting that the Dtrke is considered in Ireland the pa- tron of the Catholics, procured for him an opportunity of being present at divine service. They were greatly edified at seeing the Eng- lish purchasing rings and other articles that had touched the reliques of St. Hubert. Robbery of the Post Office, Cork.On Mon- day evening se'nnight, the Post Office was robbed of money to the amount of between 3001. and 4001. it having been entered by means of a master-key, the wards were per- fectly uninjured, the locks could not therefore have been picked some small drawers w ¡ch contained the bank notes and silver were also unlocked, and having been emptied, were left upon the floor. A quantity of forged notes were left behind. King James i.-To his other titles lie might I t, have added those of King of Pedants, and Pro. fessor of Punning. He was as remarkable for his love of a pun, as for his hatred to a drawn sword, or a pipe of tobacco. When he visited the-University of Cambridge, he heard two noted preachers, Sir Isaac Wake and Mr. Sleep. «' 1 am inclined to sleep," said lie, when I hear IFake, and to wake wheu I hear Sleep. I I Plymoittli., Feb. 71 -Captain Evans, of the Wellington, who arrived here last evening, bound from London to Bristol, has reported, that on Sunday last, the 5th instant, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, au American privateer captured, otatid between the Bolt Head and Start Point, the brig Amity, Ed- wards, from Waterford, bound to London, and the schooner Agenoria, Wiliiams, also from Waterford to London. The brig Driad.from Waterford, was likewise nearly captured, but she was seen to escape. The master of a smuggler, that left RoscofF, in France, on Sa- turday last, states, that three English vessels naiiies titiliriowi, had been carried into that port, one of the three laden with brandy, all of which had been captured in the Channel, by a privateer fitted out at St. Maloes, under the American flag, and is commanded by a Captain Goodridge, well known at this port, having been here for some time a few years ago, the Master of a large American ship. Singular Ofretice.-A young man was de tected on Friday night in the pit of Drury-Iane Theatre, in the act of cutting off the skirls of; gentlemen's coats, and ladies pelisses. While the individuals, whose clothes he thus mangled, had their attention closely directed to the play., he was actively employed in curtailing their ganisrtits with a large pair of tailor's scissars. He had passed from one extremity of the pit to the other in a very short sjiaee of time, and many, on rising and examination, found themselves very bare of covering be- hind. The dresses of several ladies were much injured the gowns, petticoats, and even che- mises of some having been cut, but fortunately no injury was done to their persons. The of- fender was carried to the Bow-street police- officc. His name proved to be Thomas Har-, ris, aii-4 his sister, a respectable female 31" peared, and stated, that he was affiicted_.wiHi mental derangement. The Magistrate, how- ever, thought it proper for security to the public, to cc) in ini t him until he should find bail on the charges. Death (,)f .I. JV- D'E^lerre.—Further Parti- culars.—Yesterday, at three o'clock, this un- fortunate gentleman expired without a groan. Early in the morning, having passed a severe night, he exhibited the most alarming symp- toms, and surgeons Macklin and Peeie de- spaired of his recovery. Mr. Cramptou was called in, and at nine o'clock in the morning they pronounced the wound mortal: till that moment his wife had not been at all apprised of his situation, being absent from the house and kept in iguorance it was, however, deemed necessary to send for her. The meet ing may be imagined—not a tear has escaped her; she remains unmoved and inscnslble.- He was perfectly aware of his dissolution, and with that coolness and fortitude which he so uniformly displayed endeavoured to urge her to composure; he next called for a Clergy' man, and having received the sacrament, and occupied an hour ill ardent devotion, he turn ed his attention on worldly affairs: his rela. lives, who surrounded him, having apprised him that it had been insinuated in some of the public papers, that he had been urged to the business by a party, he desired that Sir Edward Stanley should be called, whom, and in the presence of all his relations and friends, embraced him in the most ardent manner he assured his wife and family that the entire of the correspondence had taken place without his consulting any individual in the world that Sir Edward was not acquainted with any circumstance till lie was called on by M. J. O'Connell, and that all the solicitations of Sir Edward, or the whole world, would not have induced him to abandon the cause he had es- poused he liven thanked Sir Edward for his exertions for him, and asked him for a packet containing his will, which he gave him on his going out; upon receiving which he said, now my mortal cares are over, except my reconci- liation with my brother in-law Atkins: when he was informed that he was in the house, he sent for him, and having affectionately em- braced him, whom he had been at law with for several years, he desired to be left to rest; he laid his head upon his pillow, and in less than half an hour breathed his last, without than half an hour breathed his last, without a single sit(,, It.- Dublin Correspondent, Feb. 4. Providential Escape.-Oti Thursday last, as a few young gentlemen were amusing them- selves skaiting upon Mr. Brownlow's lake, the ice gave way with a Lieutenant Lind, of the Royal Navy, about the centre, when he went down, and would inevitably have perished, had it not been for the very intrepid exertions of James Shaw, Esq. who with the greatest presence of mind, and all possible haste, pul- ling off his coat, and tying the straps of his skatts to the skirts of it, rescued him from his perilous situation. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Shaw, for his very laudable exertion, in saving the life of Mr. Lind, a gentleman respected by all who know him. Another most extraordinary affair has hap- pened in high life, which is likely to engage the public attention as much, perhaps, as the story of the unhappy Lady Roseberry. A Peeress was detected on Monday last in a si- tuation the most unequivocal by her injured Lord, who, in the height of passion, discharged a pistol at the iiiamorata,atid shot him through the arm, which is said to be fractured. It happened near Staines. It made the universal subject of conversation last night at the Opera, and, therefore, concealment is impos- sible. A letter from Nousard, in the department of Meurthe, states, that a trap having been lately laid for a furious wolf which infested the Commune,the beast fell into a deep fosse, and as the inhabitants rushed forward to kill him, a child fell into the fosse. The ter- ror was general that the wolf would devout the unfortunate little otte. The animal, how. ever, was too much occupied with his own safety to do him any harm. A cord was thrown to the child-the wolf seized it wiih his teeth and claws, and effected his escape. The child was then taken out safe.-Gazelle de France. We understand that the Iiuikeeper of Woore who had a most illiberal-principled informa- tion faid against him, by some attorneys, who had induced him to give them a -dinner of game-, intends to stand a trial with the parties. The same persons laid a similar information about the time, against the proprietor of the Swan and Star Inns of this town, who had been persuaded to prepare a bonne bouche for supper. Ou passing lhrogh Stony Stratford, on their road to town, (the Landlord having been apprised of their characters) a roasted owl was dished up for them, with a snipe's bill skeweriug the legs This bird of Jlincrva would, probably, communicate somewhat more wisdom to them as a guide for the fu- ture.-Sta.ffordshire Mercury. N-eurly discovered quality in Coals.-A Scotch Correspondent of the Farmer's Journal, in a recent letter to the Editor, makes the fol- lowing inquiry; and states a novel circum- stance;—" Pray have you heard that goats eat serpents! In no book that I have met with do I see this staled, but several people here affirm it. Capt. Scott here assures me he saw it once when hunting he says, that as soon as the goat saw the adder, he ran and seized it with avidity, and began to eat, al- ways shaking his head, so as to prevent its biting, and making gratulatory noise all the time it was enjoying its siugular repast. One farmer I was well acquainted with had a farm that was much infested with adders—a large sheep farm he bought tifty goals for the pro- y t, fessed purpose of removing these troublesome neighbours, and 1 was assured that in one sum- mer they were completely removed." Shipwreck.—One of the survivors in the So- vereign transport, lost on the 18th October in the river St. Lawrence, is arrived in town, and gives a most distressing account of that me- lancholy event. Me states, that when the ves sel first struck on the rock, it was apparent to every seaman on hoard that she could not possibly remain together more than ten mi- nules. During this short interval, every man who could rely on his expertness in swimming, prepared to confide himself to the mercy of the waves. The sea rau mountains high, but the distance to theshore was short; many who could not swim, endeavoured to secure what they could meet with which had any tendency to buoy them up in the water. Others seeing no chance of escape, and more designed 10 their fate, went below, and their awaited their unhappy destiny. Amongst the latter, was Mr. James Goldsmid, who was an excellent, swimmer, but had the misfortune to sprain his arm a few days before., which deprived him entirely of the use of it. He therefore, ac- cording to the statement of the survivor al. luded to, prevailed upon a brother officer (Fat-tner) to retire below into the cabin, and meet their fate quietly rhere, as being pre ferable to trusting to a piece of wreck, which could only protract their lives for a few mi- nutes, but could not ultimately save them.— Of Captain Hamlen, who was watching the means of escape upon deck, he slrongly en- treated to retire below to console his wife, who was screaming aloud for his assistance.— The gallant officer replied, he was not afraid to meet the destiny which awaited him, but he had not courage sufficient to witness Ihe agon- izing grief of his wife. When it is considered between 250 and 300 souls were on board, it must be obvious the confusion was considera- ble, and the distress most touching. An of- ficer, however, in the midst of this horrid scene, endeavoured to arrest the attention of the sufferers for a moment, to request that such of those as might have the good fortune to escape, would apprize their friends in Eng- land of their melancholy fate! A short time elapsed before the vessel separated and went to pieces; the cries of the sufferers from every quarter were most piercing Out of the whole number on board, 37 only were saved thus ended this most melancholy catastrophe. U NION-HA LL.-Ueorgc England, who has for some time past been in custody, and un. dergone several examinations Oil suspicion of having been concerned in various felonies, was again brought up and underwent a final examination, when it appeared from the state- ment of Joseph Moore, one of his accomplices, who had turned King's evidence, that the Pri- soner had been concerned iu upwards of 150 robberies of different descriptions, and had for a considerable length of time eluded the pur- suit of the Police Officers, by whom he had frequeully declared, he would never be taken alive. At length, May and Goff having ob. tained information where the Prisoner lodged, iu Mary-le-bone, proceeded thither, and hav- ing by stratagem obtained admission into the house during night, they succeeded in securing him whilst in bed and asleep, and before he could make any resistance. In the course of the several examinations which he has under- goneklhe following chargeshave been brought against him, viz. for a burglary on the-pre- mises of Mr. Capper, in Walcot-place, Lam. beth for breaking into the coacii-Ilotise of Mr. Whitmore, of Vine-street, Lambeth for a burglary on the premises of Mr. Russell, Palace-wharf, Lambeth; far robbing Mr. Richardson, the travelling Equestrian of 1751. in cash and notes, which he took from the ca. ravan, at Horn Fair, Charlton and for rob- bing the garden and yard of Mrs. Downes, of Fraucis-street, Lambeth. On all these charges he was severally committed for trial, at the euiuing Assi-ees for Surrey. A small vessel belonging to Plymouth, but supposed last from a French port, having oil board 118 ankers of brandy and Geneva, was seized in the port of Fowey, on Monday, by the Tide Surveyors and other Officers of the Customs. The crew had deserted the vessel betore the Revenue Officers obtained posses- sion of her. Saturday, as Mr. Jones, of Princes-street, Leicester-square, was returning from Crovdoa market, about nine o'clock, in a one-liorsei chaise, through Streatham, a man, having the appearance of a gentleman, rode up to him, and offered to accompany him. Theofferwas accepted, and on their arrival at Brixton Com- mon the stranger presented a pistol, and rob- bed Mr. Jones of his pocket-book containing a Si. note, his watch, and great coat. The robber then gallopped up the lane towards Norwood-green. It is a well-kuown fact, that many of our married Generals, while in Spain, were wont to soften down the horrors of war, by a ten- der domestication of themselves with some Donna of the country. By some accident, the Lady of one of these Generals, having heard that such was the custom, resolved to see whether this was the practice with her husband" and accordingly embarked for Spain. She unfortunately arrived while her husband was in good winter quarters, and the planets of Mars and Venus were in conjunction. As soon as an old servant recognised his Lady, he ran into his master's apartment, exclaiming, Lud! Sir, here's my old mistress." To which the new one replied, m the best English shecould, Veil, get a you gone Vatisyouc m mailresse to m-i Lor? Keep a your old snai- treiise to yourself."

A CHART OF CARNARVON BAR AND HARBOUR. Directions far Ships and Vessels sailing into Cllr- narvon Harbour, over the Bar. In order to facilitate the navigation of this Har- hour, two Buoys are placed on the Bar, the outer I one is painted black, and the inner red; a Percti is also erected on the Bank, called the Muscle Bank. LLANDOWVN Point lies about 2 miles distance from the black Buoy, (which is moored in the en- trance of the Bar, in about 15 feet water, at low water, average spring tides) in a N. by E. direc- tion. DIN As DINIXE lies from three, or from that to three and a half miles distance from the black Buoy, in a S. E. direction. The black Buoy lies about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S. W. by S. direction. The red Buoy lies about two, or from that to two and a quarter miles distance from the Perch, in a W. by N. direction. The/Perch lies near one mile distance from Abertnenai, in a west direc- tion, where ships and vessels may anchor in safety. Masters of vessels, drawing 12 feet water and upwards, should not (in a gale of wind) approach this Bar until four hours flood. All vessels coming in, should leave the Perch on the larboard hand. High water at full and change, at a quarter af- ter nine o'clock—average spring tides rise and fall on the Bar from 16 to 18 feet—neap ditto from, 6 to 8 feet. Expert Pilots may always be had on making the proper signal. This Harbour has been lately considerably en- larged and improved, a great number of large ves- sels are built here annuallv-it is a most conve- nient place for repairing of old vessels—there ia aR extensive trade carried on in the exportation of slates (of the best quality) and other articles, to most parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and consists of convenient quays and wharfs, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or lying within the limits of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expended from four to live hundred pouiids in blasting some of the rocks at the Swillies, to low water mark, which has rendered a most free passage for ships and vessels of large burthen, coming from the eastward to this Harbour, or sailing through the Straits of Menai. The north and south banks of this Bar are subject to shift—when they do shitt.or the Buoys part from their moorings, proper care will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present, and the true bearings, distatic(!s, &e. of them, in- serted in this paper BANGOIt Printed and Published by .1.
