FLINTSHIRE EfSTEDDFOD. Os Thursday se'nnight, this interesting nJet. it»S took pt*ce in the County-hall, in Mold, agree-ibly to notices which had b«en very eenc | rally circulated, and affordeda rich gratification to the I versi uf ;it)c,eijt filit;lstt literature. From j ter: ». ,Me»?n ii» ihe forenoon, the town < i with gentet'l company from øOthe siirroundmj; country, & carriage*,chaises, hndIH, jeigs, and single horses crowded the principal inns. At the Leeswood Arnjs, the genllemen who formed the committee were pro- ceedin with the necessary arrangements; and soon after the arrival of Sir Edward Price Lloydj a procession was formed, which proceeded thence to the Couuty-hall, many of the individuals deco- raleii with roseites and ribbons of green, white, and blue. By soon after eleven o'clock, the hall was completely crowded in every part,—and amongst the comply, we noticed he following respecta- ble individuals.— Sir Edward Price Lloyd, Bart. President- -I'he Hon. Lady Glynne. and the Miss Glynne's—P.D. Cooke, Esq. High Sheriff.-Sir William and La- dy Clarke—Mr. Mrs. and Miss Garnons Mr. and Mrs. Wynne Eytoti-Nirs. Robert W. Eyton — Miss Cotti)a-Aliss Lloyd, and Miss Angharad Lloyd —*Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Mr. B. C. Pot. ter, and Miss Potter—The Miss Lloyds, of Mold — •Mr. and Mrs. Howard—*Mr. & Mrs. Clough, of Hope, and the Miss Clotighs—*Mr. C. B. Clougii and Lady, and Miss Jones, of Goift),n- Mrs. Jones, of Wepre, and Miss Davies-Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kijigtit-iNir. and Mrs. Jfones Knight-* Mr. Newcome-Mr, and Mrs. Hughes, of Bodfarry >— Mr, Makin, and the Miss Makins— Mr. & Mrs. Roberts, and the two Miss Hughes's Mr. and Mrs. Jones Hugt.tes-J r. aud Mrs, kewis, of GlaorafoD-Mr. and Mrs. Lawis, of Hryn Edwin—Rev. Mr. Jones, of Northop-J. Roberts, and R. H. Jones, Esqrs. of Ruthin- John Wyun Eyton, Esq. and Lady-C. B, T. ftol)er, Eiq.-Rev. Mr. Roberts, Halkin—Rev. Mr. Strong, &c. &c. Those Gentlemen marked thus (*) are Clergymen. On the mution of Richard Garnons, Esq, Sir E. P. Lloyd was called to the chair. Sir Edward (hen rose, and addressed the meet. ing. He observed that in obedience to the com- mands of that respectable assembly, he had un- dertaken the task imposed upon him, while he regretted that the honourable distinction had not been confided 10 some other individual more f competent to discharge the duties of the ofilee.- It had never fallen to his lot to preside in a si- milar meeting to the present, and be was but im- perfecUy conversant with the subjects connected with it be would however, throw himself upon the candour of the numerous assembly by whom he wac surrounded, .d bu..cd hJ raeei "H" ,h., iodul £ «oce Be so iniicb stooo in need of. There was no man more proud of his country than he was, and none who felt a stronger solicitude for perpetuatiog its language and extending its liter- ature, He was aware that many objections had been inide to the frequency of these meetings, as likely to Issseu the interest which they would exci(e, if ai(vre seldom resortvd to. But be would confess himself frieodiy to them, as he conceived they were means peculiarly calculated to call forth talent and genius from obscurity, and essentially tended to elucidate the history, manners and customs of the country. With re- conviction, be felt himself honoured in presiding over the present assembly, and assured the meet- ing that he would contribute every effort in his power to promote the interesting objects proposed by the Fliutshire Eisteddfod. The Hon. Baronet said, he woutd no longer occupy the time of the meeting, but hasten to afford an opportunity to those gentlemen who had come prepared with their communications, to proceed to the more important business of the day. The address of the bon. chairman was followed by loud and ge- neral plaudits. The natiooal anthem of God save the King was then exquisitely sung by Mr. Jones, organist of Ruthin, in Welsh, accompanied on the harp by Mr. Cunnah, the whole company standing, and joining in the chorus. Mr. Thomas Rowlands, the active secretary, then requested, that those individuals who were prepared with Welsh verses of their own compo- sition for the opening of the Eisteddfod, would have the goodness to read them aloud; when the following persons, situated in different parts of the hall, rose in succession, and audibly read each his own production John Roberts, of Hersedd Samuel Evans, Llausaintffraid Jo- seph Williams, William Edwards, and John Evans, all of Ysceifiog William Williams, of Denbigh David J ones, of Cilcen David Griffith of Denbigh; Moses Philps, of Caerwys and Richard Diiviesgofflolyliead,-TI)esecomposi- tions contained from two to four verses each, commendatory of the Flintshire Eisteddfod, and received a varied degree of plaudits accord- ing to their respective merits. The following were the subjects for competition with the premium to each:— 1. For the best Ode on the Field of Garmon, where the Wctcb ilcftaleO Hie rielS and Scots, and whose victory was ascribed to the shout of Hallelujah—Five Pounds. 2. For the best Essay in English on the Uti- lity of holding Eisted(ifods.-Th-i-ee Pounds. 3. The best Essay in Welsh on the Ancient British Laliguage.-Five Pounds 4. For the hast extemporaneous Oration in Welsh on UuilY and Brotherly Love.—Two Pounds 5- For the best Harper- TfiJO Pounds; and One Pound for the second best. 6. For the best Singer of Penillion with the Harp—One Pound. 7. For the best Psalm.tune-Olle Pound. It is necessary to remark, that by previous announcement, it was required that ail the com- positions shouid be placed in the hands of the se- cretary, Mr. Whitley, a fortnight before the meeting took place, in order that their respective merits might be ascertained by competent judges; aud it was now that the judges had to award the prizes to the successful candidate*. The Itev. Mr. flushes,- of Bodfarry, wi h whom was associated Mr. Robert Davies, ot Nautglyn, as the judges of the Welsh Ode on the "Field of Gannon"—(MaesgarmonJ—now rose. He observed there were thirteen competi- tors for this prize. Io estimating their respec- tive merits, he and his coadjutor had divided them into three classes and he was sorry to say, thete was oue-tliird of the number of corn- X positions sent MI sthicfl raigfU justly be said to possess no iiK't it ;»i ail 5 thry were destitute of ecry ei6ef"i;jl evi,i"e(I I total uinifance uf fh-ir nmt»->rs in the language, an i some of tl.em wete even ouuxious for false spelling He k ea'ly.reafe'.ied 'oat such persons should pu' theoiseivt v fur com p.? titofs without the slightest p*> ic*i'.tv, observing, they would a tx-sf i,n IF,cir own credit by submit* inner their productions to their more intelligent neighbours, or withholding theni altogether. The sec nd class possessed a shade, and hut a shade of it with numerous defects and io;per- I lections but on these he would not dwell. There were only four composition*, whirl) con- stituted the third class at all deserving of oolic aud in enumerating thee he should pursue the same, nude of classification he had hittiert,) adopted, beginning witb the inferior first. The firs: he should name, before Ihe signature of Maiiienadd i lhe author seemed to have lost much time iu search of his poetry s it abounded rather iu loose descriptions; but it must be own- ed, when he comes to iread upon the great sub- jeci, Maesgttrnion, he seems to feel something of the inspiration ot the poet. The next, in point of ruerif, bore the signatcie oi Gwyndodin, and certainly was entitled to a higher share f'l praise, the second beat was that signed iilyddyn, the language of which was pretty correct, and ap- proached somewhat nearer t,) eteelience than the preceding. But the ode which lie and his col- league ju-fged to be the best, was the production under the signature Llyicarch lenonc. Toj, was a vety diffuse composition, embracing uo less than 830 lines, a kind of epic, and the speeches conta.ned in ii were of greater length than those given by Virgil and Homer to their heroes. There were some descriptions thai were truly excellent but if the poem had been more con- cise and condeused, it would have been more en- titled to praise. Upon (he whole, however, it was very clear that none but a oiao of genius could have brought forth such a production and there was 00 hesitation in deeming it entitled to the premium. The Secretary then demanded, that if rhe per- son who assumed the signature of Llyiauch leunnc was present, he would avow when Mr. John Blaekweli, of Mold, stood up amongst the crowd in the midst of the ball, and annouuced himself the au-l.or of ibe suetvslul ode. A very general expression of applause fol- lowed this announcement, and lie was called for. ward to the table, where he audibly read his composition. At the request of the president, Mrs. Knight, as the Lady of the Manor of Maes- gannon, then invested the author with the hooo. rary decoration of a blue ribbon. The next prize was a premium of three pounds for rhe bfst Esiav 1? hfiCi'tg 1.1 s 11-0dooi. — J»ii,r», itic Mr. Cintign, or Moid, and ihe Rev. Mr. Jones, of Northop. The Rev. Mr, Clougb, said, that four compe- titors had put in their claims for this premium^ who appeared under the sigu,i iirt s of Juvcn" Ap Jortverth, Edgar, ami J) Montliault. The Rev. Gentleman proceeded to descant on the re- spective merits of each remark-ig, tha Juvenis and Ap Jorwerth, were both credible Eugnr, extremely meritorious but that De MonthnuH stood the highest in pom. of excellence, and to Dim the premium was adjudged. The assumed name of the successful candidate was then called when it was announced that John Homffieys Parry, 19, We,iit,gll)n strref, London, who was nor present, WHS the author, The production, which was pre-eminently excel- lent, was read, and elicited from the meeting strong expressions of approbation. The third premium was fiot pounds, for the best Essay in Welsh, on the At-tiq,tiiv of the Ancient British Language; the Judges for which were, the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Rbyddlan, iha Rev. Mr. Lloyd, of Naonereh and fh" R i. F„ Richards, of Caerwys. W- cout-t not d'sitn ?v collect the remarks made by the R-v. Mr. Lfo) d, on the merits of Ihe candidates for this jKize, further than that there wete tw > eump-»itors4 under the signatures of Llewelyn a id Setse.r the latter declared to be entiilad to the prize. Oil calling for the auth >r to >a:ui, the Rev. Evan Jones, of Tretddyn, stood up, woo read his E. say, which was of considerab;engtfi. (I <. rer which, at 'he request of Sir E P. Lloyd. Lady Glynne decorated the author with the blue ribbon. The premiiiin (if two pounds for the best ex- temporaneous Oratom in Welsh, on Unit v and Brotherly Love, was neat aniiounred and on a general invitation being given for competitors to contend for the prize the following six indivi- duals mounted the table in front ol the -si- dent, viz. Samuel Evans, of BriccfUl Robert Lloyd, of Ruthin David Jones, of Mold John Griffith, of Denbigh John Blsckwell, of Mold and Isaac Lloyd, of Mold. Time allowed 10 each, ten minutes Judges, the Rev. Messrs. Newcome. Ruthin; Howard, Denbigh; and Mr. Clougb, Mold. The candidates then proceeded to the wordr contest in the order in which their names are given, after wnich the prize was adjudged to Mr< John Biackwell, who was in ciinscquence honour. ed with a second blue ribbon, by the hands of Miss Cotton. Considerable merit was displaved by several of the oratorical competitors, bur the most equal meed of praise appeared to rest chiefly between the successful one and Mr. Ro- bert Lloy-fl, who wore a siiveir medal rnuncl his neck, the honorary badge of some previous suc- cessful ciTPrt, and is said to have acquired Ihe appellation of the Cunning of Ruthin. A trial of s,,c:i! on the harp neii followed, he best harper to be entit/d to tuso pound?,—Hit second best, one pound.
