LLANGIAN. I
LLANGIAN. I A correspondent writesOn Christmas Day I had occasion to visit the little village of Llangian, situate on the eastern side of the southern part of the promontory of Lleyn-a most retired loca- lity, and one which I should thinlc is not much visited by strangers. The village is a small one, but neat and clean, and is cosily built under a range of hills, which entirely shelter it from the north and east winds. The principal object of attraction is the Church, which is a plain and unpretending structure outiide; but in- side it is one of the neatest and best fitted up churches whioh I have seen in this part of Wales. The church- yard seems in a crowded state, judging from the number of tombstones which abound in every part of it. In one comer of it is the vault of the Nanhoron family- Llan- giap being their parish church. The inscriptions on the tombstones are mostly in Welsh, as might have been ex- pected, but on looking I could not observe any very par- ticular epitaph, only the common ones generally used by friends of the deceased. A little before churchtime I strolled iuto the Church to have a good peep at it with- out the chance of disturbing people's devotions, or of being irreverent myself. The building is a little narrow, and there is oue straight aisle right up the centre which leads directly to the chancel. The pews, which seem very clean, good, and commodious, are what we call open ones, so that in this respect there can be no distinction in the House of God between the poor and rioh in this beautiful little Welsh church. The desk is on the right-hand side and the pulpit on the left facing the main body of the church and dividing it from the chancel. They are light, airy-looking structures, and are remarkably neat, as, indeed, is everything else inside this church. There are a number of elegant marble tab- lets and monuments almost solely in memorial of differ- ent members of the Nanhoran family, and one a most chaste and beautiful marble scroll records the death of a gallant son of the present worthy Squire, who was killed during the Crimean war at the head of his regi- ment at the early age of 22 years. There is also a marble tablet to the memory of the liev. John Rees, who was curate of the parish for 36 years, and rector of Aberdaron for 24, and who died at the patriarchial ago of 85. His daughter, Mrs. Annie Kichards, now lives at Tynycae, which was also her father's residence, with her two sons, the Rev. T. Hardy Richards, curate of the parish, and Mr. David Richards. The service on this occasion was read by the curate, who preached an ap. propriate sermon touching the nativity of our Saviour. r"t:'f:an that church congregations are in- creasing in this ncighbourhood both at Uangia.n and Llanengan, and I hope they will continue to do so. In the afternoon I rambled off to the sister village of Llan- engan, the two villages being about a mile apart. There is a fine rectory house near to the village, which I be- lieve has been greatly improved, enlarged, and renovated by the present kind rector, the Rev. Thomas Jones, for- merly vicar of Pwllheli. The church here is much larger than that of Llangian-double the size I should say-but I did not go inside so that I cannot describe its Internal appearance. The village is also larger than Llangian but the streets are uneven, pudley, and irre- gular. This part of Lleyn is composed of a large level plain about 5 or 6 miles in breadth and lengthways it ex- tends to the sea, at ,the extremity being the famouS small bay called Hell's Mouth," and which formerly was such a terror to seamen. This plain is flanked oil the west by the Rhiw mountain and other hills; and on the east by the hills skirting Abersoch and St. Tudwell's Roads. The land is said to be very good and fertile in most parts of the plain, and I should say it was so from the portion which I have traversed. A trip to this part of Wales would be very agreeable in the summer time but in the middle of winter it certainly offers nothing very attractive to the tourist or the scenery seeker. In Llanengan there is a commodious National School, and about half- .vay between the two villages is a large British School, erected, it states, in the year 1845. Near to this last-named school, and situate on a gentle eminence, is a nioc-looking country residence, occupied, as I learned, by Mr. Williams, surgeon. The people all seem kind and hospitable, and so prove themselves true descendants of the ancient Cymry.
LLANLLECHID, SCHOOL TREAT.
LLANLLECHID, SCHOOL TREAT. A Christmas Tree nicely decorated with holly berries, and covered with suitable presents for girls and boys, formed a very agreeable entertainment during Wednes- day afternoon for the children of the National School. Tho tree wa3 about twelve feet high, and was decorated by Mrs. Evans, assisted by the Missses Evans. The contributions came chiefly from the rectory, but we understand that several ladies kindly augmented the number. The school was decorated for the occasion. After the school children had sung a few songs, a young man who was educated at the school came forward and repeated the following verses, composed by himself on the occasion:- Hawddamor i Gymru, brenhines bob gwlad, Ei phlant yo ehelaeth gant addysg yn rhad. Cawn wleddyma heddyw yn gynes a lion, Felarwydd magwrawl o'r plant ar ei bron. Pwy wyr nad oes yina yn mhlith y rhai hyn Ryw Herschel ar godi er edrych yn 8YO ? Neu Newton ran gallu, ei linyn mewn llaw, I fesur ryw ddiwniod y ser heb un braw ? Neu Shakspere farddonol un nerthol mewn iaith ? Maent oil, ni a welwn, yu rhodio ryw daith. Mawrygu eich athraw yw eich dyled bob un; Mae ef ni a welwn yn bobpeth—mae'n ddyn. Rhowch iddo hawddamor 0 galon yn awr, Ac oil cydnabyddwch ei allu sydd fawr. Hawddamor, parch, llwyddiant, i'ch Evans, mwyn un, Ac hefyd 'r un fesur i'w anwyl deg fun. I'n boneddigesau rho'wn fonllef tra mawr. Hawddamor! hawddamor fo'n adsain y llawr. Pob rhodd a gewch heddyw, meddyliweh am hyn; Boed teilwng eich serch ar wrthrych digryn. Yn awr rho wn hawddamor i bawb yn mhob lie, l'r athraw, gweinidog, a'r laides hwre G. AB MOBRIS. After the young bard bad recited his poetry, The Rev. J. EVANS addressed the audience. He stated But the object of the entertainment was to encourage the girls to improve their sewing, and that the presence of the ladies who had condescended to attend, greatly, or he might say mainly, gave a value to the various pre- sents hung on the tree, and that he felt grateful for their presence. Before the distribution commenced, a little girl, aged geven years, came forward and distinctly and with good emphasis and tone, repeated the following lines :— Come, meet around our Christmas tree Its gifta are spread for you and me; With curious art skill that prove Each little work a work of love. Brothers and sisters here unite, Parents and friends in all delight; Each secret kept with faithful care, Till all the gifts of love may share Why do we prize our Christmas tree ? Why do we press its light to see 7 We feel there's more than meets the eye In ita outward form of harmony. We feel the blessings Christmas brought, The precious things past human thought, For then in love divine were given Good-will and peace to earth from Heav'n. Now began the anxiously looked for distribution of presents. They were given to the most deserving chil- dren by Miss Eleanor Pennant, of Penrhyn Castle. About 60 children were thus rewarded. After the rewards were given, Mr. E. OWEN, the schoolmaster, on behalf of the chil- dren and at their request, returned thanks to the Rev. Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans for the entertainment, and to IIrL Evans, Mrø. Colliver, Mrs. Thomas (Talsarn), Miss Bvanø (Gatehouse), and Mrs. Morris (Sychnant), for the assiduous care they take of the sewing department in the achool. A few of the choir being present, they dang several pieces and Christmas carols. The Rev. WK. MORGAN entertained the meeting by giving the origin of several Christmas customs. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS, Red Lion, rose to thank Mr. Morgan for his speech, and alluding to the Christmas tree stated that it was entirely new to him, and that it was the first time for him to see one. He addressed the children in Welsh upon several topics of importance. Before separating, immense cheers were given to the Hon. Col. Douglas Pennant, M.P., the munificent owner of the Penrhyn estates, who contributes largely towards 4he (chool, and to Lady Louisa Douglas Pennant for her Vindntxm in attending the meeting and liberality towards kin&eso in attendi Z*Idre14 who were quietly seated to the school. The C the present moment, made the building ring again with their hurrahs. Cheers were likewise given to Captain -D-m V^ Miss Pennant, and the other members of the IPecrLyn family, Mr. and Mm Evans, the La(liW Com- mittee, Rev. V. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan, the Mimes IVanois (Bijmderwen), Miss Kennedy, Mr. Williams, and to the master and mistress of the school. The meeting terminated upon singing the National Anthem. Amongst those present we notioed Lady Louisa Doug- 1M Pennant, Captain Douglas, Master Cockrain, Miss Kteiaor and Miss Louisa Pennant; the Misses Francis, lkpdwwem, the Rev. W. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan, aM family; the Rev. John Evans and Mrs Evans, and and fimifl li? Colliver, Bryn Hall; Min Kennedy, Ban- M Just as the children were about to leave the room tkey were told that on Wednesday next they should par- take of tea in the schoolroom. This piece of news, as I Blight be expected, was joyfully received.

j LLAMHJDNO. I TRADESMEN'S ANNUAL DINNER. The annual dinner of the tradesmen and others inte- rested in the prosperity and welfare of the rising town of Llandudno, was held as usual on New Year's Eve, at the St. George's Hotel. About 60 gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous repast, prepared by and under the personal supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Davies, who never fail to give satisfaction to the numerous guests who an- nually favour them with their presence. Considerable taste was evinced in the decoration of the room, on the sides of which were hung emblems and mottoes appro- priate of the occasion and of the present season. The chair was occupied by John Williams, Esq., Bod- afou, and the vice chairs by Mr. Jones, Plas Madoc, and Mr. G. Felton, Brynybia. Letters of apology were read from Mr. Moore, and Mr. Jones, Frondeg, who were prevented from attending by unforeseen circumstances. The CHAIRMAN said the company which he w around him that evening had met, not to make long speeches, but fo enjoy themselves at the termination of the old year. The first toast they would have to drink was the health of her Majesty the Queen, The people of that neighbourhood were proverbial for their loyalty and at- tachment to the throne of this country, which they have never been backward in shewing upon all occasions which required it. (Drunk with the greatest ap- plause the National Anthem being sung with good effect). The CHAIRMAN next proposed the "health of the Prince of Wales, and the rest uf the Royal Family." They were aware the Prince was about to take to him- self a wife, and from all they had heard, they had every reason to rejoice at the selection he had made. They were pleased to understand also that the Queen highly approves of the choice, which appears also to give great satisfaction to the country. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then gave the "Army, Navy, and Volunteers." The qualifications of these different branches of the service were well known to them all. He was afraid he could not say much for the Volunteers of Llandudno, which corps, he had reason to believe, had fallen through, not from want of courage, but from rea- son of several of the members not haviug a permanent residence in the town. The stay of many was so uncer- tain that they could not rely upon the formation of a company. The Volunteer service, however, was a valu- able acquisition to this country, which they ought to be very proud of. With the toast he coupled the name of Mr. Daniel Phillips, a member of a Volunteer corps. (Applause.) The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, and the Mi- nisters of the various denominations," was the next toast from the chair, which was cordially drunk; fol- lowed by the Lord Lieutenant," and the Members for the County and Boroughs." Mr. FELTON said he rose to propose a toast, which was that of a lady intimately associated with the prospe- rity of Llandudno, and the happiness of its inhabitants generally. It was the "health of Lady Augusta Mos- tyn." (Loud cheering.) The CHAIRMAN having the honour to represent her Ladyship upon the estate in that district, returned thanks, and said it would be very gratifying to her feel- ings to know that she was remembered by her friends at Llandudno. Though she does not visit the place at present; she will do so before long, and he was sure it would much please her to see the increased prosperity of the town of Llandudno. (Cheers.) Mr. JONES, Plas Madoe, rose to propose the health of Lord and Lady Mostyn and in doing so said he knew his Lordship since the time he came of age, and he was sure there was no nobleman more highly esteemed in this or any other county in Wales. (Applause.) The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the toast on behalf of Lord Mostyn. The CHAIRMAN next rose to propose what he might call the toast of the evening-" Success to the Town and Trade of Llandudno." He personally esteemed it a great pleasure to meet his friends and neighbours at what might be termed their annual festive gathering. Though be doxild not call himself a townsman, in the true sense of the word, he claimed to himself the title of a fellow parishioner and a neighbour. He had en. joyed their friendship for many years, which he trusted would never wax cold, and be severed except by death alone. (Cheers.) He congratulated all upon the pro- gress which the town had made in improvements. He was sure the quality, extent, and btyle of the buildings were fit to receive any family in England and he felt that the arrangements entered upon-and he said that not because he was agent to the property-was such as to make the town the principal watering-place in Eng- land. When they looked upon the baths, the beach, the mountains, the walks, and the improvements carried on generally by the Commissioners, he had no hesitation in saying that it would soon rank first amongst the wa- tering-places of the kingdom. (Cheers.) The trades- men of the town, as a class, were all straightforward and respectable. As to material value, and variety of their stock, they can vie with that shewn In any town in England; but it was only by paying strict attention to business, by being moderate in their-êharges, and be- ing civil to all, they would secure tho support of their English friends. He was sorry to observe that the Lon- don and North Western Company had not acted so li- berally towards the place as would have been expected. They had been remonstrated with on behalf of the estate, as well as by the town commissioners, and the answer they gave was, that they could not afford to work the line with locomotive power at present. It is to be hoped that next year they will be able to aid their winter losses by their summer profits, and that the quiet jog-trot which they heard every day on the line would be changed into the" puff, puff" of the fire en. gine-(hear and cheers). The Chairman then noticed the lighthouse which was in course of erection at Llan- dudno, and the projected new pier, which he hoped would be placed in the right spot, so as to be service- able to the community at large-(hear, hear). In con- clusion, he wished the tradesmen of Llandudno every prosperity-hoped they would increase in comfort and happiness, grow rich, and live to a long age to enjoy the fruits of their labours, with satisfaction to them- selves and their families-(applause). With the toast he coupled the name of the oldest tradesman present- Mr. Edward Owen, butcher. Mr. OWEN replied on behalf of himself and fellow- tradesmen. W. HUGHES, Esq., Conway, proposed the health of the Chairman, whom he had the pleasjjre of ksowing for a great number of years. He discharged the duties of his responsible situation with entire satisfaction both to the landlord and the tenantry (cheers). The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and said that during the term of 35 years he had resided amongst them, he endeavoured to live upon the best terms of friendship with all, having regard to the interests of his employers as well as those of the tenantry (cheers). Air. JONES, of Plas Madoc, proposed the health of Mr. and Mrs. Davies," with many thanks to them for the very excellent dinner which they had provided for them. Mr. DAVIES was pleased to understand that his exer. tions to serve them had met with the approval of the gentlemen who had honoured him with t?Eeir company. There was nothing that gave him greater pleasure than to be the means in some degree to promote harmony and sociable feeling amongst his neighbours. As long as he occupied that house (St. George's) he hoped still to continue in keeping up the annual re-union which had been established at Llandudno. He concluded by wishing them all a happy new year. (Great ap- p fanae.) The CHAIRMAN next gave the Press," and highly eulogised the service which the local press of this coun- try had rendered Llandudno. He concluded by propos- ing the health of the Representatives" present, which was briefly replied to. Mr. FELTON proposed the "Town and Corporation of Conway," and coupled with the toast the name of the Chairman, who was a bailiff and burgess of that town. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed the health of the Vlee-Chairmen-Mr. Jones, Plas Madoc, and Mr. Felton," which was heartily responded to, and likewise replied to by those gentlemen in appropriate speeches. Mr. JONES proposed the health of Mr. Green, of Hendrewaelod." Mr. GREEN returned thanks, and esteemed it a high honour to have his health so proposed and responded to. He respected the people of Llandudno both collectively and individually, and loved them and everything that was in the least degree conducive to their prosperity. (Cheers.) Then followed Mr. Jones and the Water and Gas and Market Companies," which was replied to by that gentleman.. Commitssion- Mr. FELTON proposed the Llandudno Commission ers," who did everything that was in their power to give satisfaction to the town, and whose labours, notwith- standing the difficulties they had to contend with, had been attended with considerable success. (Much cheering.) Mr. I. DAVIES, as oe of the Commissioners present, returned thanks. Then followed 11 The Ladies," coupled with the name of Mr. Green, who returned thanks, as the oldest bache- lor present, in an eloquent speech, which did infinite credit to his gallantry, and would certainly have ope- rated strongly upon the affections of the ladies had they been present to listen to the extreme pathos and humour with which this blessed son of Benedict panagerised their virtues. The CHAIRMAN having given" Our next merry I meeting," the company separated at an early hour. I A W.ELSH.. LITERARY MEETING. I Two very interes-9 meetings were held at tne an- I glish Baptiet Chapel, Uaududno, on New Year's D?y last, under the presidency of John Williams, Esq., Bod- afon. They were the inauguration of a Literary Meet- ing, to be held annually in that place; and if we are to judge of its future success by the successful termi- nation of this miniature Eisteddfod, it will be most complete. The judges of the poetry and the jfrose competitions were the Rev. R. Parry (Gwalchmai), Rev. J. Evans (I. D. Ffraid), and Mr. W. Williams (Creuddynfab), late of Staleybridge, the newly appointed Secretary to "Yr Stitleybridge, the newly a N prr. Roberts (Alawydd), Be. Eisteddfodditto music, Mr. Roberts (Alawydd), Be- tkesila. The lady judges of the sewing, knitting, &c., were Mrs, Williams, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Evans, and Miss Davies; conductor, Mr. Thomas Parry. The edifice wherein the meetings were held was ele. gantly decorated, aud at the south end of the room a stage was erected, containing several ladies, the judges, aud others interested in the proceedings. A choir, com- posed of the members of the various choirs in the town was also in attendance, and accompanied by Mr. Owen on the harmonium, acquitted themselves most credit- ably. The first meeting commenced at one o'clock punctu- ally, when the chairman, JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq., addressed the meeting first in the Welsh language, and afterwards in English. He commenced by shewing the superior educational advan- tages which they possessed in the present day compared with those of past generations. Many a bright youth, of rare talents and sparkling genius, who might have been a shining luminary in the firmament of literature, for want of encouragement were buried in oblivion. They could not complain of the want of the usual means to cultivate their minds and to lead them to literary fame in tho present day. Day schools had sprung up in almost every parish; and newspapers and periodicals scattered intelriig?.nce throughout the length and breadth of the land. He next dwelt upon the auxiliaries which contributed to the social and intellectual advancement of the people. It depended first upon the parents, then upon themselves, and next upon the community at large, of which they were members. The establishment of literary societies augured well for the cause of educa- tionand progress in the Principality they had served well as impetus to mental exertion; and he believed them to be yet calculated to impart a higher tone to their literature, and to confer lasting benefits upon the Welsh people generally. (Applause.) The proceedings were then conducted in the following ord' WeClloir-" To the Awen," from John Thomas's Collections. Poetical addresses by the Bards present. Adjudication by r. D.

Notwithstanding the boisterous state of the weather, the attendance at this meeting was most numerous, the place being crowded to excess long before the time ar- ■rived for the proceedings to commence (5 o'clock). The Chairman, having arrlSgctln the room, at once proceeded to business, and after a short address, read a letter from the Rev. J. Morgan, the Parsonage, apolo- gising for his inability to attend at the Cylchwyl IJ e. yddol," through indisposition. Anthem-H In Jewry is God known." Adjudication by CBEUDDYNPAB upon the Essays re- ceived on Llandudno Mountain;" prize, E2. Best, Mr. 0. Parry, Ty'nymaes, who was invested by Miss Jane Parry, Glandwr.

Competition in singing Blodeuyn Olaf." Two parties competed—one from the neighbourhood of Llanberis, the other from Llandudno. The prize was divided be- tween the two, which, at the recommendation of the Chairman, was increased to £ 1 each. Their representa- tives (Mr. B. Williams, Llandudno, and Mr. J. Williams, Llanddeiniolen) were invested by Mrs. Evans. Reading-" Awdl y Llwynog, gan Rhys Goch Eryri." Four competed. Best, R. G.

L. whose real name did not trans- pire at the meeting. Mr. J. Parry was called to repre- sent him, and was invested on his behalf by Miss A. J. Lloyd. A prize of 5s. was offered for the best impromptu address upon" the Advantages of Railway communica. tion." Two came forward to compete. The first priding himself in the possession of the bardic title of loan Llech, firllt delivered himself, his quaint style and observations drawing forth roars of laughter. He was followed by another aspiring genius, who, however, fairly 11 broke down" in the first sentence uttered by him. loan Llech was, therefore, declared the victor, and was invested amidst loud applause. Song-" Bugail Aberdyfi," by Mr. B. Williams. GWALCHMAI then came forward to read the adjudica- tion upon the principal subject of the day, viz., a prize of f3 (and a medal added by Mr. Felton) for the best Poem on the "late Archbishop Williams," who we believe was a native of Nant Conway. The composi- tions received were declared by the Adjudicator to be of a superior order, but the one exhibiting the greatest power of thought and imaginative genius was that signed" Aneurin." The successful competitor upon being called forward appeared in the person of the Rev. B. Evans (Llywarch), Conway, late Chairman of the Committee of the Conway Eisteddfod and one of its conductors. He was greatly cheered, and highly com- plimented by the judges and his friends present upon his success. He was invested with the prize by Mrs. Wat-kins. The prize of 7s. 6d. for the best child's pinafore was awarded to Margaret Gray, and inved4 by Gwalchmsif. Gwalchmai having offered a prize of Llandudno, its Natural History, &c," for the beat complimentary stanzas to Creuddynfab was won by Mr. W. J. Roberta (Llwydlas), who was invested by Miss Parry (Megan Gwalchmai.) The next impromptu subject was two stanzas to Lady Henrietta Augusta Mostyn. "C," was the successful candidate, who again proved to be Llwydlas," and was invested by Mrs. Felton. A prize for the best impromptu "Hir a Thoddaid to the President." Meirion" was the best, who waslPre- sented with the prize by Miss Mary Lloyd, George's Terrace. Mr. WILLIANS (Creuddynfab) briefly addressed the meeting, and expressed the satisfaction which it gave him, after 30 years' absence, to return to his native country, to enjoy the beautiful sceneries, and again to inhale the mountain breezes of the land of his birth. Alluding to his recent appointment as Secretary to the Eisteddfod, he pointed out that the Eisteddfodic move- ment had taken such a deep hold of the Welsh people, and exercised such influence in the formation of their character that, if no effort was made to consolidate it as a permanent national institution in connection with some responsible body, there would be no other alterna- tive but to allow it to remain in the hands of those who would make improper use of it, and so frustrate the objects for which it was established. He concluded by stating that he believed the memorial for holding the Eisteddfod for 1864 at Llandudno would have the most favourable consideration of the Committee; and urged all to endeavour by every means in their power to render that Eisteddfod the best held in modern days. (Applause.) Adjudication upon "Hanes Joseph." The prize was divided between R. G. Jones and J. Roberts, who were invested by Mrs. Williams (Creuddynfab.) The best upon the handwriting was declared to be Wm. Owen, Craigydon, who waa invested by Mrs, Parry, Penybuarth. { Adjudication upon the Llong."

Rev. J. Griffith, Baptist Minister, having addressed the meeting, votes of thanks were unanimously passed to the Chairman, Mr. Felton (for his donation of a medal), the chapel Trustees, the choir adjudicators, ladies, &c., and the meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem.

IRUTHIN.
RUTHIN. MARRIAGE OF CAPTAIN PRICE TO MISS CARTWRIGHT. The nuptials of Captain Price, Llaurhaiadr Hall, to Miss Cartwright, daughter of g, ..rt;g lit, Tunbridge Wells, was celebrated on Thursday, New Year's Day. A dinner was prepared in honour of the event at the White Lion Hotel, in a manner deserving of unbounded credit. Upwards of 40 gentlemen sat down, amongst whom were the following :—R. G. Ellis, Esq., niayor James Maurice, Esq.; Ablett Jesse, Esq.; Rev. Lewis Lewis, Llanbedr R. Wynne, Esq., Bachymbyd; Wm. Newcombe, Esq. John Jenkins, Esq.; Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Jones, Dr. Walter Jones, John Denman, Esq., Chief Constable; James Dixon, Esq., Pool Park; Tayleur, Esq., Wm. Lloyd, Esq., solicitor; Geo. Mousley, Esq., Michael Turner, Esq" Mr. Bancroft, chemist; Mr. Mays- more, Rhydyoilgwyn; Mr. Thomas Edwards, draper; C. B. Uniacke, Esq. Mr. Davies, clerk to the Ruthin Union; Mr. F. F. Jones, auctioneer, &0. The Mayor presided, and was supported in the vice chair by James Maurice, Esq. The cloth having been removed, The MAYOR proceeded to propose "the health of our gracious Majesty the Queen," to whom the hearts of all Welshmen were devotedly attached. (Applause.) The MA roil next gave" the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." It was particularly pleasing to the Welsh and English nations to learn that the Prince of Wales was very soon to be united in the blessed bonds of matrimony to a lady worthy in every way of his high position; and he only trusted, when God would be pleas- ed to call upon him to sit on the mighty throne of Eng- land-may that be at a distant period-that the actions of his deeply lamented father would be emulated by him, and become what he really wished him to be-a real good king of England. (Loud cheers.) The MAYOn afterwards proposed" the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, and Ministers of all denomina- tions." He begged to couple with the toast the name of the Rev. Mr, Lewis, Llanbedr, whom he might emphati- cally call a working clergyman. (Hear, hear.) He at- tended particularly to the spiritual warns of the poor, and he (the mayor) hoped his life would long be spared to fulfil his important dnties. Rev. Mr. LEWIS acknowledged the toast, and said he rejoiced to be surrounded by gentlemen who were inte- rested in religious affairs. The gentry of his parish were anxious to render him every assistance in his efforts to further the success of the Saviour's kingdom. With regard to the Bishop, all knew him to be an industrious Christian. (Hear, hear.) The MAYOR proposed the Lord Lieutenant and Ma- gistrates of the County of Denbigh." Colonel Biddulph was a gentleman of high position and attainments; and they might feel proud of their bench of magistrates, and he hoped they would continue for a lengthened time to attend to the labours of their onerous office. (Cheers.) Mr. Maurice was well aware of the importance connect- ed with the duties of a county magistrate, and he begged to add his name to the toast. (Loud cheers.) Mr. MAURICE responded on behalf of the County Ma. gistrates, who were a body of men, although open to many imperfections, always most desirous to adminis. ter human justice fairly and conscientiously. (Hear, hear.) The MAYOR then gave" the Members for the County and Boroughs;" and afterwards the" Army, Navy, and Volunteers," coupling with it the name of Serjeant Ban- croft, who responded. The MAYoR, having gone through the official toasts, rose to propose the toast of the evening, viz., Long life, health, and happiness to Capt. Price and his bride." They had met that evening to do honour to their mar. riage; and proud was he to .witness such a numerous and respectable assembly met to ceio. auspicious event-for he was sure it was a union,far as they might judge of antecedents, interesting in ?ve,, respect to the families of the respective parties. It was ufl.. cessary for him to say much about Capt. Price-his character was too well known, and if he proved himself in after years, if spared, to be as good a landlord, as gener. ous and open-hearted as his revered father, he would boldly say that his wife had had a blessing in being wedded to him. (Cheers.) The young lady, he under. stood, was beautiful, amiable, and accomplished, and no doubt she would add to the happiness of Capt. Price and his family. Llanrhaiadr estate was not so much connec. ted with Ruthin as Denbigh, but the gathering around the table that evening shewed how the family of Llan- rhaiadr Hall was respected by persons who were not at- tached to them by ties of property, but by ties of affec. tion and good-will. He trusted the company would res- pond to the toast, the health and prosperity of the bride- groom and his bride, in the same spirit as he offered it. (Great cheering.) The VICE-PRESIDENT proposed the next toast, viz., the health of Mr. Price, the father of the bridegroom," It was a toast peculiarly pleasing to him to offer, because .he felt confident all present were of one opinion, that he was a good, kind-hearted, gentleman. (Hear, hear.) They all knew him, and they all liked him. Why ? Because he was a thorough genuine Welshman, and a true gentleman in all his feelings and actions. (Cheers.) Welshmen were of an oldpeople,andan old people of old customs, and he trusted the custom would remain with them to honour those to whom they felt honour was due. They were met to celebrate the Wedding of Capt. Price, but they could not have done that had not his father been a man of virtuous and generous habits-a man of character and high position in life. May he (Capt. Price) cherish the lady he had that day won, and prove a worthy husband and father, and may she honour the man whom she had sworn to obey. (Applause.) He begged to give the toast in a bumper. (Drank with mu- sical honours.) The MAYOR proposed the family of the bride," and hoped the union would give equal satisfaction as given to the family of the bridegroom. He rould assure them it was no disgrace to enter into the family of Mr. Price. (Applause.) The VICE-PRESIDENT proposed "the health of our Woetby Mayor and personal friend." (Drank with all honours.) The MAYOR responded. Whilst filling the high and honourable position of Mayor, he; felt exceedingly gra- tified that he dwelt amongst persons who were willing to overlook his imperfections, and to cast a veil over his shortcomings. He sincerely thanked the company for their kind wishes towards him as Mayor. Dr. JONES gave Success to the Vale of Clwyd Har- riers." A country life they allknew was very monoton- ous without a little sporting. Great support had been extended to the maintenance of the pack-and the cir- cumstances of the past predicted bright prospects for the future. Mr. JOHN DENMAN hoped the harriers would be fol- lowed into the field as often as possible. Nothing he said would do persons so much good. Mr. JOHN JENKINS proposed 11 the belth of Mr. James Maurice." No gentleman had done more than he had for the good of the town of Ruthin, and there was no individual more respected than him by the inhabitants generally. He was a person who strived to learn the wants of his fellow men in order to aid them-he was truly charitable in his heart. (Continued cheering ). r The VICE-PRESIDENT felt greatly obliged for the kind, but far too flattering terms in which the last toast had been introduced. He was particularly pleased to be amongst them that evening, for he believed those social meetings tended to bring and knit them together in fellowship and good feelings, and he hoped they were meetings which they would continue to cherish. (Hear, hear.) He then, in a most feeling and effective manner, referred to the meetings of by-gone days. Although highly pleasing to think of, there remained a cloud! During the year which passed away the previous night, death had struck many a mournful blow. A Prince whom the nation loved was cut down; the greatest monarch in the world had been brought to the foot- stool of Him, before whom the broken and contrite heart will not be despised. Another gentleman whom they looked upon as the foremost man in the town had been summoned to depart; and many a kind neighbour, be- sides, had gone never to appear amongst them gdu. Let those, then, who remain think of the departed, and cement each other in friendship-stretch out the hand of fellowship, and endeavour to do good one unto another. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he proposed the health of Mr. Denman, the Chief Constable," who fills a public office to the entire satisfaction of the county. (Loud cheers.) Mr. DENMAN suitably responded. The MAYOR proposed "the health of Mr. Ablett Jesse," as a gentleman who had taken a warm interest in the welfare of the town, and had already evinced his disposition to become a public man. The lectures he had delivered, and his readiness to preside at different meetings, was sufficient to prove that he would be a very valuable benefactor to the town, especially when he would become the inheritor of the important property now possessed by his respected father. (Loud applause.) Mr. ABLETT JESSE briefly acknowledged the toast. The health of Lieutenant Tayleur" was then drank, who responded, and proposed the health of Captain Cornwallis West," which was drunk with musical ho- nours. "Success to the Denbigh Ruthin, and Corwen Rail- way," "Town and Trade of Ruthin," "The Agricul- tural interests of the Vale of Clwyd," coupled with the name of Mr. Wynne, Bachymbyd," Mr. John Jenkins," The Medical Profession," "The Press," "The Host and Hostess," and other toasts were drank. The MAYOR said he had received letters of apology from the Warden, G. Roberts, Esq., and the Rev. G. LI. Roberts, who regretted their inability to attend the dinner, The VICE-PRESIDENT stated that he had also received a letter of apology from Mr. William Jones, (Gwrgaut). The Ruthin Volunteer Band were in attendance, and played seveial appropriate tunes.

The Liverpool, New York & Philadelphia Company ^s screw-steamar Kangaroo, from New York on the 20th ult., arrived off the harbour at an early hour this morn- ing. New York, Dec. 20, morning. The Senate called for the correspondence beween thy State Department and the British Government concern- ing the establishing of telegraphic communication be- tween the mouth of the Amoor River and San Francisco. Mr. Stephens, the chairman of the committee of ways and means, declared that the financial scheme he intro- duced was his own plan, made without consultation with the committee or the Secretary of the Treasury. The evidence in the court of inquiry continues to ex- onerate General M'Dowell from all blame. SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE "TIMES." New York, Decemher 20. The disastrous defeat of the Federals at Fredericks- burg has caused dismay among the war party, and pub- lic indignation against the Government is very great. The bravery of the Federals on the occasion is indispu- table, as is shown by the fearful losses they sustained. General Meagher's Irish Brigade went into action 1300 strong; 250 alone survived. General Butterfield was engaged but half-an-hour aud lost nearly 3000 men. General Hancock had 40 officers killed and 160 wound- ed, his total loss being one-half of his division. Burnside is receiving reinforcements, but is in no condition to renew the contest. He is expected to visit Washington, to consult personally with the Government. General Banks's expedition has proceeded to the Gulf, but it is not yet known whether its destination is Mobile or Texas. Five of his vessels have put into Philadelphia and Poit Royal, '.eaky or disabled, and a sixth has been wrecked on the Crays Fort Heef, on the coast of Florida. The late news from the armies of the West indicate that no more forward movements are to be expected for the present. The M'Lernand expedition against Vicksburg, and to open the up the Mississippi River, is believed to be in- definitely postponed. The House of Representatives has passed the Army Appropriation Eill for 731,000,000 dollars for the main- tenance of the army for the year ending June, 1864, by a vote of 107 to 3. General MICIeUan has not yet been sent for by the President. The disaster at Fredericksburg has sent gold up to 32 and five-eighth. BY TELEGRAPH VIA PORTLAND. New York, December 20, afernoon. The Washington Star says that a caucus of republican senators was held there on the 16th. A resolution was offered, requesting the President to dispense with the services of Mr. Seward. After discussion a vote was taken, and resulted in 16 in favour to 13 against it. On the 17th, at another caucus, a substitute, recommending the President to partially remodel his Cabinet, was unanimously adopted, the Conservatives believing it would be regarded as a general invitation to the whole cabinet to resign. On being informed of the fact the Secretary and his Assistant Secretary sent in their resig- nations, requesting their immediate acceptance. KL. New York Tribune has the following editorial paragraph; Wo are informed that Mr. Seward has tendered his resignation as tWotary of State. Our in- formant speaks positively, and adds that the resignation was suddenly determined upon, and will probably be accepted." Charleston, South Carolina, Dec. 15. The enemy's gunboats have again been shelling James Island at intervals to-day, but without producing any effect. A Newberne letter says of the aM,- -t mnston, that the gunboats and «ctea In conjunction with Gen. Foster. The gunboats, however, could not proceed far up the river, owing to the low state of the water. On arriving within two miles of Kinston, the flotilla came upon an eleven-gun battery, which fired very effectively on the Allison, but she was finally backed out, having been pierced in many places. The flotilla retreated, and next day were fired upon from the banks by gueril- las, who used balls dipped iu verdigris. One of the flo- tilla sank on returning.

THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—Dr. Sumner was in Hatchard's, and said to a clergyman whom he met there, I have a note here to wait upon the Duke of Wellington. Tell me where he lives." He went, was back in about ten minutes, and the clergyman was still there. "You have soon got your business over." "Yes, and in so short a time I am promoted to the see of Chester. I was shown into a room-ia came the Duke: are you Dr. Sumner ? I am commanded to offer you the bishopric of Chester. Do you accept it, or not ? Yes. Then put ryour name down here. Good morning. And he left me."—Mn. Oliphant's Life of Irving. A BABY N OVICE.-Lucy had been dedicated to God from her birth by her parents, and was little more than eight years old when her mother repented of having placed h :r under Miss Sellon's care, and fetched the child away. It was found, in the first place, that her mind had been overwrought, and, at the direction of the medical attendant, who feared a disease of the brain, all tasks were suspended for more than a year. Excitement was so much dreaded for hee, that for some weeks after her return home she could not be permitted to join the family circle, but was gradually introduced to natural ways; even up to this time, the child is so excitable that her mother dare not even visit her at school until news of the joyful event has been broken to her. Lucy is now, at the end of three years, an un. conscious artless child again; but at first the parents scarcely dare notice her at all, her own thoughts so con- tantly dwelt upon herself, and she seemed to think every act and thought a thing of moment. She was also disposed to act the mentor too much over her little brother and sisters; and, though a kind of little saint, she thought too much about her saintship now, while equally good, and quite a pattern to others, she is simple and childlike.—Sisterhoods in the Church of England.
