The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the Principality

— — 19th CENTURY REMINISCENCES. Here is an instance of quick work in iimes It hen" hurry and bustle" was practically an un- "?own quantity in business. A correspondent "?ing to the North !?a? Chronicle of Sep- mber 11th, 1832, said:—" On Thursday morning '4t a flock of sheep were driven past the shop of an eminent chandler in the city of Bangor on their way to the slaughter-house. By the next ^orning their tallow was exhibited in the said %hC, P in the form of mould and dipped candles, j"y of which enlightened the dwellings of the lnhabitànts of Bangor the same evening." • • • • Richard Robert Jones, much better known by the cognomen of Dick Aberdaron, was one of the Visitors to -he National Eisteddfod held at Beau- lharis, in 1832, which was graced by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent Princess Victoria- A contemporary describes 1m thus:— "The personal appearance of this eccentric chaiKcter is most disgusting and offensive. He ,wea-,I a long black beard, pendant over his Wast, the undisturbed growth of many years, Which induces a persuasion that he is a descen- 4.t of Israel. The upper portion of his face that is discernible differs but little in colour from the Mosaic part, it being filthy in ex- treme and almost as black. His hands resemble in colour the back part of a sole. His gar- ments are a counterpart of his person, wearing long threadbare great coat, a ragged waiet- Coat, with the remnant of one or two buttons, Which exposes to view a nasty rag, which may Once have been white, and is probably still in- tended to represent a shirt, with a neck-cloth corresponding in colour and value. His hat and lower garments are in keeping with the rest of his attire. It is a fact that this entire Negligence of his person and dress has been re- marked from his youth, and he is now in his 61st year of age. » • # • » t|ick Aberdaron, who presented such an un- Yiting appearance, was the son of a sawyer, and Jlas born at Aberdaron, in South Carnarvonshire. i Q was "a self-taught prodigy who, in early life, ntblbed an inveterate inclination for the acquire- ment of languages." He is said to have possessed t' toUrable knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, |„ haldic, Arabic, Persian, Latin, French, d Italian. "Among his labours may be num- pfred a Greek and Latin lexicon and also a tion of Hebrew extracts, to which he addeu a pabulary in Hebrew and English, and a. Latin tfttise oil the music and accents of the Hebrew ttgue." YVe are told that Dick Aberdaron re- **?d in a house in Midghall-street, Liverpool, d that he was allowe d six shillings a week by th 6 son of a Mr Roscoe (who was a zealous patron  the eccentric man, and wrote a biography of "?), the money being the interest derived from ,8tun of money subscribed by Mr Roscoe's tpends. The object of Dick Aberdaron's visit to Beaumaris Eisteddfod was "to exhibit a He- few and Greek manuscript, written by himself, the three orders of the ancient harp, but as this formed no subject for competition there was tie prize for Dick. He was, however, rewarded J the liberality of the committee." w w • A curious official mistake occurred at Pwllheli j1 the early part of the 19th century. It is thus Inscribed in the A'Of?/t H?es Ch?cntC? of ?t period:— "Alist 0f'l4e Pwllheli burgesses having been demanded from the Recorder, that learned func- tionary, in endeavouring to comply with the request, unluckily stumbled upon the parish register of funerals, from which he fairly tran- scribed a list of two hundred deceased electors, *ihabitants of the churchyard, and, having Itddcd the names of the living burgesses to it, Entitled the whole 'Full and correct list of bur- gesses in the town and churchyard of Pwllheli, Conform to Act of Parliament.' It is now al- leged in extermination that this was done under the special advice of Counsellor John Jervis, burgess of Pwllheli and Carnarvon." • • • a b At a meeting held in the Uxbridge Arms, Car- fc*r>-on, under the presidency of Mr T. Assheton- th of Vaynol, steps were taken to establish Ie Society for investigating the natural his- cry aud antiquities of the counties of Anglesey, "I,arvon and Merioneth." Members were to Dscribe annually one guinea each. Amongst Members of the first committee were Lord Ð;: rough, Mr T. Assheton-Smith, Rev. J. H. on, Tanybryn, Bangor; Rev. J. Hamer, Ban- tr; Rev. H. Price, Friars School, Bangor; Rev. el Owen Lianllechid: and Rev. Morrin Hughes, IkL-

TO THE PUBLIC. IN future we can only insert i subscription lists for charit- able purposes, and War appeals for funds, goods, &c., in the North Wales Chronicle and associated papers as advertise- ments at our usual scale rate. This is in consequence of the continued rise in the price of all materials used in newspaper pro- duction, in many cases ranging between 25 and So per cent.

I THE ROLL OF HONOUR. I I WELSH REGIMENTS' LOSSES I CASUALTIES IN MEDITERRANEAN FORCE. The official casualty lists issued this week show that several of the Welsh regiments have been taking part in the recent operations in the Dardanelles. The severe nature of the fighting will be gathered from the official dctpatch from Sir Ian Hamilton issued by Lbe Press Bureau on Thursday. In this despatch it is stated that- "The recent operations on the Gallipo-ii Peninsula consisted of attacks on tne enemy's positions along the southern and Anzao lines, and induced a fresii landing in strong force at Suvla Bay. "There is evdence from prisoners' state- ments that the T'urka have been consider- ably reinforced with a view to heavy at- taciis on us, and that our", forestalled the enemy's by about 24 hours. "Consequently the lighting was very severe, and ollooth sides the casualties were very heavy. "The landing at Suvla Bay wis well p.uined and carried out by the navy, but in spite of the fact that the Turks developed their greatest strength in the Aaizac reg ion, our troops from Suvla could not make very satisfactory progress before tih-e enemy was able to move up considerable forces from his reserves, and to bring our further ad- vance at this poinrf. to a standstill. "Within the past week the positions won have been consolidated at all points. The spirit of the troops is excellent." The toll was unfortunately heaw and the losses, especially in officefu, testify to the grim earnestness with which the brave men of the Royal Welsh Fusilier Territorials underwent their baptism of fire. The North W ales regiments engaged included the 1,5th R.W. Fusiliers (Flintshire), l/6th H.W. Fusil- iera (Cnrnarvonshire and Anglesey), and the l/7th (Montgomery and Merioneth* The 4th, &th, and 6th Welsh Regiments (T.F.) and the 2nd and 4th South Wales Borderers and the 8ih R. W.
