Our Hftrarg Cabit. THE CAMBRIAN PLUME."—Published by Davison AND Co. A thoroughly national song, with an excellent chorus the words by Henry Davies; the music by Brinley Richards. This composition, which was sung in Cheltenham on last St. David's Day, with such enthusiastic applause, will, doubtless, become one of the popular songs of the day. Everybody must be well aware of the extraordin- aiy success and popularity of the same composer's God Bless the Prince of Wales," which, possibly, may have suggested the present; but the words and music of The Cambrian Plume" are of a higher order of merit the former are beautiful, and reflect great credit on their author, while the latter forms a remarkably pretty melody, very spirited and original, with a chorus cleverly vocalized. The song is in the key of D, and in a mar- tial style, and would have a good effect arranged for a baud, or oulo for the pianoforte. As a song, it is parti- cularly well adapted for social gatherings aud as a mu- sical response to the toast of the Prince of Wales" upon festive occasions, deserves to become as great a favourite as its precursor. The Morning Post of March 15th, in noticing this song, characterises it as one of the most successful efforts of the gifted musician, Brinley Richards, and the words by an author who-judging from the pre- sent specimen of hia writing, is entitled to a good place in the ranks of our modern song writers." BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE for April.- Edinburgh and London: W. Blackwood and Sons. The capital ttile, "Doubled and Quits," is bi ought to a close in this number. Its conclusion forms the open- ing paper and it is followed by a sketch of the career of the Rev. John Keble, founded on Sir John Coleridge'a Memoir" of that memorable man. "Sir John Cole- ridge," says the writer of that sketch, was lveble's friend in boyhood, and lived with him on terms of closest in- timacy till he did;" and his Memoir" is a most in- teresting work.—The first part of the life of "Sir J ohu Lawrence," (now Lord Lawrence) follows the paper on Keble; and there are capital articles on The Outgoing and Incoming President of the United States;' on" The Triumvirates,"—Gladstone, Bright, and Lowe (which should be universally read); and Air Gladstone's Bill." We should like to quote from all these articles; but our room only allows us to give the closing passages of the last. After having shewn the sure tendency of the measure, adverted to the debates upon it, and made quotations from iiolue of the speeches, the writer says And now, for the present, we leave the matter in the hands of the public, and of Parliament. If it be God's will so to bliud the understandings of both, that this revolutionary scheme shall be carried into full effect, we must prepare ourselves for a future of far greater per- plexity and trouble than any on which we can look back ou the paot. Faith in public men has already fallen with us to the lowest ebb. They have long ceased to aim at directing, they now seem bent on abjectly following, and giving the force of law to the will of the mob. For it is not the intelligent English people, nor the Sco,cb, nor even the Irish, who clamour tor this great change. It is sought for by the designing few, whose object is to sink Great Britain to the level of America. It is shouted for by the ignorant many, who know only that they are not so well off as they desire to be, and are persuaded to believe that any change must benefit them. And into the arms of the designing few and the ignorant many Mr Gladstone has thrown him- self. Well, we must wait; not till the melancholy truth is forced upon us shall we believe that, in de. fiance of so tnauy warnings from without, and in the face of their own secret convictions, a majority even of the present House of Commons, hampered as they are with rash pledges, will vote for a measure which, if car- ried in its integrity, must ring the knell of true re- ligion in Ireland, and of all confidence in the security of property, and the justice of Parliament."— W e fear the writer is wrong in thinking that anything can cause the Liberals in the House of Commons to alter their votes. The fate of the bill is sealed in that house; but" There is a House of Lurds." REMINISCENCES or ATHENS AND THE HOREA.—London John Murray. These" Reminiscences" are extracted from a journal of travels in Greece, in 183[1," by the late Earl of Car- narvon. They are edited by his sou, the present Earl; and he has compibd a very pleasant voluma for the reader. Thirty years have elapsed, however, since the author was in Greece; and many changes have occurred, some for the better, others the reverse. The noble earl's descriptions of persons, places, and sceuery are evidently written con umore. There is no hesitation, no falter- iug; all is vivid and whether he alludes to the country or the inhabitants,—or quotes some of the current le- gends,—he is equally attractive and entertaining. We cannot give long extracts, but the following passage will give the reader an idea of the noble earl's style. He is in Arcadia; and "leaving Sinauo," he says, in the earliest morning, we rode across a plain, uncultivated, indeed, but beautiful with nature's unsolicited vegetation, and glittering with dew. Sometimes we passed between high banks, overgrown with ancient oaks, stretching their mighty aims over the paths below, and occasionally impeding our passage: sometimes the scene expanded into plains, as yet unscorched by the powerful sun of Greece, rejoicing in the emerald verdure of opening spring, and dotted with inaguiticent specimens of single trees, of which every onc- was wcrthy to secure the at- tention "f a painter sometiuies.the green crags towered magnificently above us, vegetation bursting forth from eveiy rock; and not a spot where tree, or shrub, or even flower had room to fix itself, unoccupie1-a scene where the youth of nature seemed fresh as the youth of man, and the mind was possessed with au overwhelming Sense of universal beauty."—We confess to the Greeks being no favourites with us; but we think Lord Carnarvons sketches have made us like the. better than we did and their country appears to be indeed one of which its inhabitants may well he proud.

THE BANGOR DIOCESAN CHURCH…
THE BANGOR DIOCESAN CHURCH EXTEN.1 SION SOCIETY. 1 The quarterly meeting of the above society was held at Dolgelley, on Thursday. The proceedings began with morning prayer in the pariah church, at 10.30, the service being full choral. The committee, consisting of ex officio members and elected representatives, clerical and lay, met at 11.30, in the Grand Jury Room, County Hall. Among those present we noticcd The Lord Bishop of Bangor (in the chair); the Very Rev the Dean of Bangor, the Ven. Archdeacon Evans; Revs, Chancellor Williams, Robert Williams, Ph. Constable Ellis, J. C, Vincent, John Jones, John Pryce, John L. Kichards J. W. Kirkham, Evan Lewis, D. Edwards, W. G. Davies, J. W. Mason, G. Arthur Jones, Richd. Jones, Rd. Roberts, J. Williams, E. Osboine Williams, R. Harris Jones, 1 h. Thomas, Evan 0, Davies, Thomas Jones; Messrs. K. Isaac Jones, O. Evans, H. H. Hughes, R. M. Richards, J. E. Parry. The minutes of the former meeting having been read and confirmed, it was agreed that the suggestion of the sub-committee that there be no connection between the proposed Welsh newspaper and this society be adopted. The following resolutions were then passed:—1. That the current year commence at Easter, and that sub- scriptions be paid on or before July lst,-2. That the annual meeting be held at Bangor, on the Thursday next after the first Tuesday in August.-3. That quarterly meetings be held on the last Tuesday of each of the months of October, January, and April, and on the first Tuesday in August.-4. That the Ruri-decanal Chapter for the election of representatives to the central committee be held between Easter and Whitsuntide.— 5. That the chairman and secretary be authorised to sign cheques for the society,-6. That the delegates to the central committee be elected by the majority of all the members assembled in the Ruri-decanal Chapter. The following grants were made towards the erection of buildings for Sunday schools and religious services: —Cwm, Penmachno, £ 50 Rhosybol, Amlwch, £ 50; Morfit, Ncfyn, £ 50; Talysarnau, £ 50; Cwmyglo, 180 Rhosfawr, Abererch, £80; Conglywal, Festiniog, £ 50; Tanybwlch, St. Ann's, £ 60; Glasinfryp, Bangor, £ 50; Lluhvaen, £ o0; The Valley, Llanfachiaeth, ibo; the Rector of Llaugelynin was allowed 1:40 towards the stipend of a Curate at Arthog; the same amount was allowed for Pwllheli, and Caeathro, Carnarvon; a sum not exceeding £50 to Abergwynolwya; X30 to Llan- brynmair i grant for six months at the rate of X40 a- year was promised to the Vicar of Dwygyfylchi, towards a Lay Reader, zClO to be added from local sources a sum not exceeding £ 00 for a Curate at Rhosybol, Amlwch, to be met by an equal sum locally raised; Valley, £50 for a Curate, to be met by the same sum from local sources; Talysarnau, £40 for a Lay Reader, £10 to be added from the neighbourhood. It should be mentioned that grants towards the maintenance of Curates are conditional upon an equal sum being raised from other sources. The committee, after the transaction of the above business, adjourned to the County Hall, for the holding of a public meeting. The chair was occupied by the Bishop of the Diocese, who reque-stedthe Secretary to commence the proceedings with reading the report of the financial condition of the society. The following is a condensed summary — Donations. Awnual Sub, £ s. d. £ s. d. General purposes 1654 7 6 891 3 0 Churches luO 17 d. 1 5 0 Other buildings 193t> 1 2 273 8 0 Curatesand Lay Helpers 22 0 0 61 11 0 Total £ 3713 6 2 £ 1227 7 0 The Chairman then spoke as follows ;-1 regret that we were so long detained by important business in com- mittee, and that the meeting has been on that account kept in waiting longer than could have been wished. For this I beg you will accept my apology, with the as- surance that it could not have been prevented, without injury to the society. 1 shall study now to condense what I have to say as much as possible, to give space for the other gentlemen who are to follow me, as I had a recent opportunity at Bangor of expressing my views respecting the spiritual wants and requirements of the diocese. It is of importance, however, that the consti- tution of our society should be widely and distinctly known, and to this lmust direct your attention for a few moments. Our great desire was, that it should be founded on a popular babiti-that we should obtain the concurrence aud participation of all its members in what is done. I trust I may say of the whole Church within the diocese, for 1 am sanguine in the belief that we shi'.U be able, in a short time, to realize our idea, by making the society and the church commensurate, so that the society will be in fact the church working for the extension of its usefulness, by occupying ue.w fields, and increasing the means of grace. We wish, the., that the government should be popular. For this pur- pose, it is proposed that every congregation should elect a lay delegate, who, with the clergyman, shall represent them at that particular meeting of the Ruri-decanal Chapter at which the members of the executive com- mittee are appointed. This is the first step, and I wish you particularly to observe that the layman is to be elected by the meeting. The next step is, that the chapter, so constituted, shall elect two lay and one clerical representative, who, with the Rural Dean, are to be members of the central executive committee. These, with the Bishop and members of the cathedral chapter, will form a committee of 58. This is rather a large body for the transaction of business. Yet we believe that thus the whole diocese will be thoroughly searched out; th,lt all our weak points will be discovered, and, as far as possible strengthened, and that there will not be a thought, a feeling, or a conviction stirring in the church, which will not be rel,resented in its proper strength in the committee. It is with hearty gratitude that I acknowledge the liberal response already made to our appeal, especially by the labouring classes. It is indeed notorious that munifi- cence depends more on the diffusion of wealth, than its amount. It was said by one who had given much atten- tion to the subject 11 no motive, that has hitherto been brought to bear on human nature, has availed to make the rich liberal in proportion to the poor." There are indeed splendid exceptions to this, and we have to thank some generous and wealthy contributors for their large gifts. Nor would 1, under any circumstances, draw invidious distinctions between class and class. All that I shall say is, that, to use an expression of the day, it will require some levelling up" to make the rich-as a body--equai in proportion to their means the large- hearted munificence of the working man. As yet, how- ever, the movement has not been universal; and I shall only add that there can hardly be a truer tebt of the vitality of the church's work in a parish than the desire of the people to extend to others their privileges at a cost to themselves. We are naturally more inter- ested iu what is done by us than for us,—when we are first consulted, and then accepted as fellow-workers. There is a tendency, in some quarters, which I regret, to localise contributions. I regret it, because it does not seem fair that any one district, should enjoy for its ex- clusive benefit a portion of our funds, and yet expect to be dealt with on a footing of perfect equality as regards the rest. We have, indeed, accepted donations so restricted in their application, nor do we refuse to act as the trustees of the promoters of any good object within the scope of the society and helping thus to carry out that object, although we think that more good would be effected were the same suras to be placed at the disposal of the committee, and confidence reposed in them, that they would empluy theui iu furtherance of the best interests of religion, as the needs of the whole diocese demand. There is one particular, in which it is not intended to carry out the original programme. After due consideration, we have given up the idea of sub- sidizing a Church newspaper. I regret this in some respects, but am well aware of the difficulty of connect- ing it with our society. We have from tne beginning kept perfectly clear of politics; and if the idea that a newspaper necessarily impliesa connection with either of the great political parties in the state, however unfound- ed that idea may be, prevails to keep aloof any uf those who might otherwise feel and act with us, this is rea- son enough. If we require an organ, doubtless the demand will in due time create a supply. You see, then, the object before us. There is not much, as yet, to say as regards our domg., The seed time has hardly arrived—still less the harvest. We have not yet sent out a singl" clergyman or lay reader-to his new field of duty, although we have made many grants for the pur- pose to-day. Yet, he who putteth on his armour wu.t nut boast himself ashethatt?kethitotf. Let us each—clergyman and layman—act as if he had a real living interest in God's work, of winning the warld for His Sou. Opposition we must expect. We might al- most doubt the efficiency of the instrumentality we em- ploy, were we not opposed. Opposition, then, we must expect—active aud passive—from without and from within. But there is only one sort of opposition, which is really dangerous, that which arises from the worldli- ness, the faiutness or the treachery of our own hearts. Let us watch and pray against this. Let us, in God s strength, set ourselves to meet the danger by self- denying contributions, and active exertions in llis ser- vice. Mr R. Meredyth Richards said that, before alluding to the resolution which had been placed in his bauds, he must be allowed, as a layman, to express his obligation to his lordship and to the clergy for having selected the town of Dolgelley in which to hold the first local meet- ing of the society. It was a fact which would long be remembered in the annals of the neighbourhood, and the movement having had its roots laid down in the town of Dolgelley, would, under God's provideuce, spread throughout the length and breadth of the county. (Hear, hear.) The resolution which he had been called upon to propose was That this meeting hails with satisfaction the formation of a society for strengthening and extend ing the interests of tue National Church in the Princi pality, and otherwise for the promotion of true religion." They would observe that the present meeting was wholly and solely of a religious character. They stood there as members of a ohurch, to'settle their own affairs in the best way they could, to set their house in order, and in so doing they desired not, in any way, to interfere with the feelings and prejudices of others. (Hear, hear.) As Churchmen, belonging to a church established by law and the state, connected with the Queen and other por- tions of the state, they felt that they had indeed a great heritage. They knew that iiiis church had been handed down to them by heritage, and that it would be wicked, cowardly, and wrong for them not to do the best that they possibly could for that chuich. (Hear, hear.) The object of the society, the end and aim of its formation, was to strengthen the interests of the church, and in the committee their objects had been fully discussed and considered, and measures, after a due and careful con- sideration, had beeu passed which would tend to strengthen the interests of the church. Subscriptions to anamount whioh was perfectly astonishing had been received, which showed that a movement made with energy and earnestness could not fail to meet with a most satisfactory response to ita appeals for aid. The annual subscriptions amounted to nearly £8,100, aud the donations approached a sum of £ 4,000,—an encour- aging state of things at which all might rejoice, and, having received that assistance, it would be their duty, under guidance of the lord bishop and the clergy of his diocese, to turn that fund to good account, not by op- posing and offending the prejudices and convictions of others, but by sowiug the seeds of their own duties and beliefs throughout the length and breadth of the land. (Hear, hear.) With the assistance of the society they hoped to bring into distant neighbourhoods the supply of a want which was greatly needed, the erection of in- expensive scho >1 houses which might also be used as churches by the employment of lay readers to attend the bedside of the sick, and thus advance the interests of the National Church. By so doing, they believed that they would be assisting to strengthen and advance the interests of true religion, which was not a religion of opposition but of conciliation. (Hear, hear.) As re- garded the parish of Dolgelley, it was well-known how much was done by that respected and reverend gentle- man, the late Archdeacon White, to bring the church into a more efficient state of repair, worthy of a building consecrated and set apart for the worship of the Al- mighty. He had passedaway from them, and they had now the services of another incumbent, equally energetic and hardworking, who had improved upon the work which had been done by his lamented predecessor, and was going to do more, and he thought that the parish of Dolgelley might fairly be held out as a model to other parishes of what could be done in the lifetime cf two energetic and useful clergymen. (Hear, hear.) He felt that he stood befoie them born a churchman, educated a churchman, a churchman by conviction, and he hoped and believed that he would always be a churchman. He believed that they stood in this their generation as members of the National reformed early Church of Eng. land, holding doctrines which might be proved from Huly Writ; that these doctrines were legacies which they had received from their fathers, and from their fathers' fathers, and which it was their duty to hand down to their children after them. (Hear, hear.) Mr W. W. E. Wynne-When the see of London was presided over by the reverend prelate who has lately been elevated to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, he estab- lished a fund which was very similar to that which the Lord Bishop of Bangor is now establishing in his diocese. That fund has been most eminently successful, and I am sure that the same success will attend the society which has been established by the right reverend prelate iu this diocese. I will not detain you further, but simply second the resolution which has been proposed to you by Mr Richards. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried. Mr H. J. Reveley-My lord bishop, ladies and gen- tlemen It is with much pleasure that I rise for the purpose of proposing the resolution which has been put iuto my hands. AU that we have heard to-day respect- ing the society is most encouraging, for I am a church- man myself, and I love the church of my fathers. At the same time I hate all sectarian or narrow views of religion, and, when 1 say on Sundays that "I believe in the holy catholic church," I mean the whole Church of Christ, all fiver the world, every sect and creed, and, if we can open the arms of the Church to embrace all, I think that we aliall be doing good. I do not believe in the dreams of some persons in uniting ail the churches. I do not think that we shall, but I think that the Wes- leyans would never have left the Church but for those blemishes which exist in all things, and which convoca- tion may well do away with. I think, for instance, that our prootors may well do away with two or three sen- tences in the creed of St. Athanasius, which declare that a man who does not believe according to the rule and line laid down there cannot be saved. That I do not believe, and I do not read anywhere that the gates of heaven shall be shut against all who are not of the Church. I believe that not only Dissenters, but Roman Catholics, and even Pagans, who have acted up to the light which has been given to them, will be found there at the last day. In a meeting like the present, one can- not avoid making some allusion and reference to politics. I am a Conservative more than that, I am a Tory. It is difficult in these days to take a view of our church without reference to politics. We have seen a measure introduced into Parliament which loosens the founda- tions of the Protestant succession, the union with Ire- land, and breaks the Queen's coronation oath, but I trust that the glorious British constitution which has been transmitted through a line of kings for more than a thousand years, which has made England to be the model of the whole world, has raised a speck on the map of the world to govern half the globe, which has been the means of spreading the knowledge of the Bible and translating it into almost every known tongue, will yet escape the danger which threatens it. If we are to exchange such a constitution as this, which makes every man's house his castle, defends the weak against the strong, the orderly against the disorderly, and enables the poorest to succeed to the highest offices of the titatt) if we are to exchange such a constitution as this for an American republic, for a government which tramples upon the minorities, grinding them with the heel of oppression, then I say so much the worse for Englarld, (Hear, hear.) We owe a deep debt of gratitude to our bishop for inaugurating this noble in- stitution, which has so far answered well and nobly, and I trust m iy go on and bear fruit to the glory of God, that love, charity, and brotherhood may continue and extend, and that under the guidance of this institution men may be found coming forward to work amongst the people, to promote the interests of true religion, undo the neglect of centuries, and bring the Bible home to all. (Hear, hear,) I will conclude by moving the fol- lowing resolution, That this meeting approves the steps taken for supplying the services of the church in new seats of population, and for the further develop- ment of resources already available in our parishes generally." Rev. R. Harris Jones (Vicar of Llanidloe.) explained the resolution in W?Ish, and seconded it, with some sensible and practical remarks upon the aspect of the Church iu Wales, and the means for further improve- ment which were suggested by the society. Colonel Bunbilry-I am somewhat unexpectedly placed in this portion, having had a resolution put into my hands for proposition, for which I was not in the slightest degree prepared. After the eloquent speeches which we have been listening to; I say listening, be- cause the last speech which was delivered 1 did not understand, not being conversant with Welsh, the re- marks which 1 shall make will not be eloquent, but they will have the merit of being very brief. The resolution which has been put into my hands is this, That where means are not forthcoming for building new churches, inexpensive school-chapels be recommended for Sunday schools and other purposes." I cau most heartily agree with the terms of that resclution, not only from a knowledge of this country, but from bygone times in colonial life, where inexpensive school-chapels were erected by the settlers, and proved to be of the utmost importance and value to the rising generation. In my own neighbourhood, four miles from this parish church, there is a considerable population growing up between Penmaen Pool and Arthog, and it would be of very great advantage if such buildings could be erected iu this locality and there are hundreds of towns and localities which would equally benefit by the erection of these inexpensive school-chapels by the society which the lord bishop has been so instrumental iu forming for the benefit of both rich and poor in his diocese. (Hear, hear.) We ought to feel grateful for what is being done through the in?trunwntality of this society, and I will conclude by proposing the resolution which has been read to you. The Rev. Eo Lewis, in seconding the resolution, said- My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—In rising to second the resolution which has been just proposed, I wish in the first place to endorse the sentiments so well put be- fore you by the proposer of the first resolution by ex- pressing the satisfaction with which we, in this part of the diocese, regard the method, now introduced for the first time, of conducting the operations of one at least of the Diocesan Societies. It is certainly a more conven- ient arrangement that the meetings of this society should not lie always confined to one place, and I sincerely trust that this change of plan will be found not only advan- tageous to many with respect to the convenience of lo- comotion, but also profitable to the funds of the society, by enlisting more general sympathy,and creating a deeper and more extensive interest in the church's ivorkthrough- out the diocese. The resolution which 1 have been re- quested to second is one which commends itself at once to the approbation of the meeting, and it would be un- necessary to say more on the subject were it not for the fact that owing to the infirmity of our nature, we are in constant need of being reminded of our duty. It states by implication that church-building is a work of great difficulty. All who have had any experience in this mat- ter will acknow lcubu the truth of this statement. Very often there will be found many obstacles to be removed and difficulties to be surmounted, before the work can be undertaken at all and again, it often happens that when the building has been completed the anxieties on its account are rather increased than diminished when heavy liabilities remain to lie discharged at some future time. When the Tabernacle of old was being built un- der the direction of Moses, the people had to be restrained they brought much more than enough for the service of the work." But somehow or other in these days the love of christians has grown cold, and they need to be reminded of the privilege and duty of casting a portion of their wealth into the treasury of God. So it is, and hence the resolution assumes the difficulty there is in the building of churches, and suggests an expedient which will for a time answer the purpose we have in view, and that is to build inexpensive school chapels, in order that the living Church way be planted without de- lay among the people. This is moat important, and should take precedence of any material building. When a successful mission has been established, when people have been brought to feel the immense value of the Church's privileges, how these connect them with Christ the living Head, and to bring Him down to dwell in their hearts, then all difficulties will be banished like mist before the sun, and people will vie with each other in the liberality of their gifts, and the readiness with which they bestow them. Although we support the building of these inexpensive school chapels, we do not commit ourselves to approve of them under all circum- stances. On the contrary, we regard them only as tem- porary expedients to be superseded some time or other by more ornate buildings with appropriate arrangements for the more reverent celebration of the mysteries of our holy religion. We do not ask you to contribute towards endowments for these new places of worship. In those days it would be thought rash to create fresh en- dowments, as we do not know that we shall be able to hold those we now possess. Our lot has fallen in dangerous times, and no one can be sure that the Church in this country may not be reduced to poverty. Of this we feel certain that our endowments are our own, and that no one can take them from us without committing an act of gross injustice and robbery, and even sacrilege. The State never gave its property to the Church. It has only protected the Church in the possession and enjoy- ment of it in the same way that it protects the property of other owners. But, after all, the existence of the Church does not depend upon the possession of any material property. The Church is a society of living men founded by Christ and descended from Him. It began its existence in poverty, aud it conquered the world. It may have to become poor again in order that it may become rich in Divine gifts. Whether rich or poor our duty is the same-to go forth in the strength of Christ to conquer sin in ourselves and others. But with regard to our endowments 1 have often heard state- ments made as if their destruction was a matter which would affect the clergy alone. That is a mistaken view of the question of disestablishment and disendowmeut which now agitates the country. If the clergy and their families were a distinct class of persons who inherited their property from father to son, the view I have refer- red to would be true. But the case is not so, we are taken from the laity and become separate from you only by the act of ordination; and if the Church should at any time be disendowed in this country as it is sup- posed that vested interests would be respected, the con- sequence of the disendowmeut would fall upon the laity, aud not upon the existing clergy; and the former would have to provide in some way for the maintenance of their future clergy. If we protest against the spolia- tion of the Church, as we ought to do, we do so in the interest of the poor and of the laity, and not on our own account; for we are uuder no obligation more than others to bring up our children to the ministry of the church. I have exceeded the limits I have assigned to myself, and now conclude by cordially seconding the re- solution which you have beard read to you. H. J. E. Nanney, Esq., moved the next lesolution, That this meeting approves the adoption of the ser- vices of laymen to assist the clergy in such portions of parochial work as the incumbent may, with the sanc- tion of the bishop, assign to them." He felt much gra- tified in witnessing the proceedings of this day, since they bore witness to a revival of church feeling in the diocese, and a determination on the part of the clergy to supply the ministrations of the Church in places where there had hitherto been a lack of them. It was encou. raging to them to hear the bishClp prescribing the various duties of clergy and laity, and assuring them that the agency of the latter might be employed with effect in the promotion of God's work in branches of parochial work, which the unaided labours of the clergy- man could uot reach. The Hev. Dauiel Evans in seconding the resolution, observed upon the desirableness of enlisting the co- operation of the laity for the advancement of the Ctiureh in Wales. The enemies of the Church are up and doing; they employ every means and every device to impede her success and thwart her progress. The principles of combination and cooperation are tho. roughly understood by them. If we would successfully resist the attacks of the enemy, we, too, must combine and co-operate. Churchmen must be taught to feel that they are not solitary strugglers against their opponents. They must be enrolled in a mighty army, idtntified in the same cause. They must be taught to see the ne- cessity of labouring earnestly for a definite object in a definite way-the Balvation of souls through the instru- mentality of the Church. All our efforts will be vain unless'we constantly keep these two points in view. A great many good men in ages gone by, through acting upon the first of these principles and neglecting the second, have wrought infinite injury to the Church of Christ. They laboured for the salvation of souls doubt- less, but doing this in their own way, and according to their own fancy and not through the instrumentality of the Church. They separated themselves from her, rending the body of Christ, and thereby causing endless divisions aud incalculable mischief. One great object of this movement is to devise means to heal these divisions; to get the wanderers back to the fold to bring about an accomplishment of the Redeemer's prayer, Holy Father keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me that they may be one one, as thou Father art in me, and 1 in thee, that they may be also one in us that the world may believe that thou hast sent me ;a unity not merely iuward and spiri- tual, but outward and visible, such as the world may see, and through seeing, believe that Christ is the sent of God. This then is the glorious work in which we wish to have the co-operation of our faithful laity. But says some timid-hearted churchman, the work is so arduous, and the enemies so vigilant and numerous that I almost dcspair of success. But this isareason not why we should be disheartened, but we should be all the more earnest in the work. Energy and faith never yet failed to conquer difficulties energy to labour, and faith to pray. Ac- tivity, peyseverauce and faith are levers that will remove mountains. It will be attempted to sneer aad deride us down. This was the cue takeu by writers in some Welsh papers after the great meeting held at Bangor. But let us not heed t!le.o1, Let us rather pity them and pray for them, remembering that to sneer at goodness is the greatest wickedness; to sit in the seat of the scoruer'1 the last stage of moral depravity. But, says another, what can I do? I have very little influence and no money. Well, if you have no money, give your influ- ence, and if your influence be not much, give yourself, your prayers, remembering that the earnest prayer of a righteous man availeth much." It is a mistake to consider the work of the Church as exclusively the voca- tion of the clergy. Weare too much in the habit of considering the Church and the world as entii ely sepa- rate, and to look upon the duty of comforting the mourner, educating the ignoraut, reclaiming the erring, as exclusively the work of a certain class-of the clergy -furgetting that it is the duty, privilege, and pleasure of all those in whose hearts the love of Christ has been shed abroad, to do all they can for Christ and His Church. There is no surer sign of enfeebled rdigion than this disposition to separate religion from life and life duties. We hear a great deal in tuest3 days about the poverty of the pulpit, that it is losingits hold upon the people, that it is below the average intelligence of the age. It probably is true, but under our present system it is inevitable. If a clergyman in a populous parish faithfully discharge his duties as pastor, it will be ut- terly impossible for hint to prepare two, and often three sermons a week up to the average intelligence of his congregation. If this movement do nothing but stir up the laity to assist the clergy in their periodical pastoral visiting, so as to euable them to devote more time to reading, meditation, and preparation for the discharge of their duties as teachers, it will be of incalculable beuelit. One thing is clear. In order to enable them to give the requisite time to the faithful discharge of these duties without neglecting their duties as pastors, it is absolutely necessary, by some means, to supplement our present machinery, and I can think of no machinery likely to be more effective than that coutemplated by the resolution put into my hand—enlisting the hearty co-operation of the faithful laity of the Church. And to encourage them, let them remember that the labours of a layman for the spiritual good of others are sometimes more in- fluential than those of a clergyman, because they are less open to be misunderstood. Acts of kindness and charity are more highly appreciated when they are voluntary and disinterested, than when they come within the scope of a man's necessary and professional duties. The volunteer who does acts of courage and daring in his country's cause gets more credit and applause than the regular soldier. So, when a clergyman warns, admo- nishes or rebukes, there is frequently a sort of feeliug that it is his bnsincss; that be is paid for doing it, and consequently his labours fail to be appreciated. Clerical seriousness is often looked upon as professional; that a clergyman is as much bound to be serious as a comedian to be merry. Is there not a tendency in this to cause the painstaking effort of a clergyman to lose part of its effect ? But with a layman, people at once feel that no- thing but conscientious conviction can make him be serious, and make an earnest effort for the well-being of those around him. I think, therefore, the Church acts wisely to avail herself of the voluntary efforts of her lay members. There are a vast number of ways of turning the efforts of the laity to a good account. One especially, contemplated by my Lord Bishop, will, I think, if car- ried out, be most useful, and attended with the best results. I mean the licensing of laymen to hold Sunday schools and Sunday and week-day lectures in licensed but unconsecrated buildings, in hamlets remote from the parish church. Our call is for work, hearty, earnest united work. There is much land to be possessed; many enemies to vanquish, many prejudices to overcome, and The time is short," therefore, "whatsoever our hand findeth to do, let us do it with all our might." Life passes; work is permanent. Youth goes. Mind decays. Feelings pass; thoughts and imaginations pass; dreams pass. Work remains. Through eternity, what you have done that you are. Ye that are workers, and count it the soul's worst disgrace to feel life passing in irlleuess, and listlessness and uselessness, take courage deeds never die." J. Vaughan, Esq., Nannau, proposed, and O. Evans, Esq., Broom Hall, seconded,—That the thanks of the meeting be presented to the Lord Bishop for his cour- teous aud efficient discharge of the duties of chairman of this meeting. The Lord Bishop returned thanks, and dismissed the meeting with the blessing.
CAKNAKVON.
CAKNAKVON. We have great pleasure in announcing to our readers that Mr Robert Humphreys Owen, late pupil of Watkin W. Roberts, Esq., surgeon, of this town, has been pre. sented with a gold medal and a purse containing k5, by the Faculty of Physicians and Suigeons, Glasgow, for an essay on Physiology and Anatomy." Dr. Watson, in awarding the prize, expressed an opinion in warm and affectionate terms that Mr Humphreys was well worthy- of it, and hoped this would stimulate him in endeavouring to attain to higher achievements in his profession. LECTURES ON PHRENO-MESMEEtism.-On several even- ings during this and the preceding week Captain Hud- son delivered a series of lectures, and gave his Phreno- Magnetic demonstrations at the Guildhall, Carnarvon, which were all very numerously attended. Captain Hudson-who we may mention is no novice in the science which he came to Carnarvon to lecture upon- visited that town by special invitation from the mem- bers of the Literary Society, who, some weeks before, had a discussion upon the subject; and in his mesmeric demonstrations he produced most wonderful effects. Having described the magnetic currents, he operated indiscriminately upon those who were susceptible to mesmeric influence, and amply demonstrated the leading facts of mesmerism-the audience being alternately startled and amused. One gentleman, who evidently had never read or paid very little attention to these rare physiological phenomena, came one evening upon the platform, and disputed what even the merest tyro in medical science in these days do not dispute. Captain Hudson is endowed with a large degree of the magnetic power, and does not fail to instruct as well as to amuse his hearers. These lectures, we are told, are to be re- peated next week at Bangor. I THE COMING OF AGE OF THOMAS ASSHETON SMITH, ESQ. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Carnarvon, convened by the Mayor, was held at the Guildhall, 011 Monday morning, to take into consideration the propriety of celebrating the majority of Mr Assheton Smith, who will shortly be so closely connected by the ties of property with the town of Carnarvon." The Mayor (Llewelyn Turner, Esq.,) presided, and amongst those present were the Rev. J. C. Vincent, Messrs. Thos. Turner, W. Haywood, C. Pearson, J. H. Roberts, It Griffith, Robt. Williams, T. J. Williams Ellis, K. B. Owen, J. Jackson, F. Jackson, W. LI. Griffith, T. Bug- bird, HUgh Humphreys, E. Humphreys, J. Marston, J. Thomas (county surveyor), J. Owen, L. Lewis, G. R. R??s (Old Bank), W. Hughes (Bank), F. Marr, 0. Thomas, jun" J. Peters, G. Hobert, F. Scott, W. Da- vies, J. O. Griffith, O. WIlliams, W. P. Wilhams, W. Roberts, R. Roberts, &c. The Mayor, in introducing the subject, announced the object of their assemblage in the terms contained in the notice convening the meeting, and remarked that rightly understood, as it appeared to him, the interesta of landlord and tenant were identical. With regard to the Vaynol estate, perhaps he need hardly say that through it in various ways au enormous amount of money was circulated in Carnarvon, while the very large quarrying works at Llanberis afforded employment to a very large body of workmen. These workmen had to be supplied with goods, and almost the whole of the trade thus brought into existence came to this town. It was very desirable, it seemed to him, that they should all unite upon an occasion such as this in testifying in a proper manner the respect borne towards the House of Vaynol, and that they should do their utmost in culti- vating a good understanding with the gentleman who had beeu entrusted with the ownership of an estate ot such magnitude. In inviting any ouepreseuttu ad- dress the meeting and to make any suggestion, he sug- gested that they should avoid speech making, aud express their opinions in the shape of resolutions. Mr Hugh Humphreys then moved, and Mr Turner seconded, That the majority of Mr Assheton Smith be celebrated in Carnarvon."—Carried. Mr J. Jackson moved, and Mr R Baugh Owen seconded, That an address be presented to Mr Assheton Smith on the occasion," which was also agreed to. On the motion of Mr Pearson, seconded by Mr Scott, it was determined that an entertainment be given to the poor. A suggestion was made that the school children also should be entertained, but it was stated that it was Ir Assheton Smith's intention to regale the children of this and other places near Vaynol. The idea therefore was abandoned. Mr L. Lewis moved, and Mr Edward Humphreys seconded, and it was carried, That the town be deco- rated and a procession formed." I Mr Haywood proposed, aud the Rev. J. C. Vincent seconded, That a public dinuer take place, aud Nir Assheton Smith be invited to attend. The Mayor remarked that the f?ti,-ities decided upon could not well be carried out unless a judicious com- mittee were appointed, as well as two secretaries and a treasurer. A eommittee was accordingly appointed as follows :—The Mayor (chairman), the Hev. J. C. Vin- cent, T Turner, W. liayward, J. Owen, Hugh Hum- phreys, J. Bugbird, J. Jackson, J. Thomas (couuty surveyor), L. Lewis, Edward Humphreys, J. Jloreton, T. P. Williams Ellis, W. Hughes, J. Roberts, Morris Roberts, Thomas Roberts, Robert Williams, Owen Thomas, J. P. De Winton, Owen Jones, W. P. Williams, F. Scott, It Griffith, It. B. Owen, W. LI. Griffith, J. Lloyd, and Smith W. Davids, with power to add to their number. Secretaries-Mesörs, Pearson and R. J, Davids. Treasurer—Mr (J. R. Rees. A subscription list was opened in the room, and liberally contributed to, and it was agreed that lists should lie at the banks, and the principal hotels and shops in the town. The Rev. J. C. Vincent suggested that, for the sake of securing uniformity in the decorations, some gentle- man of taste and artistic knowledge should be requested to superintend them, and at the request of the Mayor, Jr John Thomas (county surveyor), consented to do so. The Committee appointed their first meeting to take place 011 Saturday, and after a vote of thanks to the Mayor, the meetiug separated. CARNARVON UNIOX. The fortnightly meeting of the guardians of this union was held at the Workhouse, on Friday, the 9th instant. Present-Itichard Hughes, Esq., chairman Messrs. Robert Jones, Hafodycoed; Samuel Jones, Glan Dinorwig William Joues, Clynnog; Griffith Parry, Thomas Richardson, John Lloyd, Hugh Hughes, Owen Jones, William Jones, Llanllyfni; John Griffith, Wm. Humphreys, Robert Roberts, Llanberis; William Hughes, Hugh Thomas, and Samuel Jones, Ntw, borough. The Clerk (Ir John Thomas) produced a list of at- tendances of the guardians at the meetings of the board during the last year. The Clerk read a list of the sureties of the house and parish officers, and instructions were given for fresh sureties in cases of death, &e. Instructions were also given to apply to several parties to contribute towards the support of their pauper mothers. The Poor Law Board, by a letter addressed to the guardians, required to be informed to what purpose the guardians proposed to apply the produce of the sale of a portion of the Workhouse ground to the Llanberis Railway Company. Wm, Jones (Hafodyco»d) moved, and Mr J. Griffith seconded, "That it be placed to the credit of the Com- mon Fund of the Union." Mr Hugh Thomas moved as an amendment, "That it be kept as a reserved fund towards auy repairs that may be required in the house." Mr John Lloyd seconded the amendment. There appeared, ou putting the question to the meet- ing, 7 votes for the amendment, and 7 for the original motion. The Chairman gave a casting vote in favour of the original motion, which was accordingly carried. A reply from the Magistrates of the county of An- glesey to a memorial from this union, relative to a more judicious system of control over the retailers of in- toxicating liquors, as found in our report last week of the Anglesey Quarter Sessions, was read. The Chairman drew the attention of the board to a demoralising custom in their part of the Island of An- glesey in connection with the celebration ot weddings among the peasautry. It is often customary for newly married couples to procure casks of ale for sale at their weddings, which are held in private houses, and servants and others assemble to drink it for the good of the newly married pair, and to their own hurt, and it was high time, he said, a stop was put to it. After sums discussion condemnatory of this practice, in which sevemiguardiau8 took part—Mr Hugh Thomas, seconded by Mr Griffith Parry, proposed That the interference of the Chief Constable for Anglesey should be requested in the matter." The Chairman remarked that, in the report of the last meeting in the North Wales Chronicle, he was made to say that his own impression was, that the Carnarvon Union, as compared to that of Bangor, was very much undervalued. What he meant, and what he said was this, that some property in this union was undervalued as compared to that of the other union named. He also produced the valuation of property bill, which he thought should not pass unnoticed by the guardians. It appeared to him to contain several objectionable pro- visions. Among others, that no plact .-u juld be valued below its relit, and that appeals would have to be made to the Couuty Court, a measure fraught with expense to the party aggrieved; and the appointment of a new officer as clerk to a county valuation board, whose salary and the expenses of the board they would have to pay. It was decided, however, to leave the matter to the consideration of the new guardians at the next meeting of the board. On the motion of Captain Roberts, seconded by Mr Richardson, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman for his excellent conduct in the chair during the past year, and his exertions at the board oik behalf of the cause of pauper education and temperance and the proper rating of property in the union. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by lr H. Thomas, the thanks of the board were voted to Mr Robert Jones, Hafodycoed, the senior vice.chairma.n for his faithful attendance at the board, and the ener- getic way he carried on his duties last year. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by [r B ugh Thomas, the thanks of the board were also voted to Mr Samuel Jones, the other vice-chairman. The cordial thanks of the board were also voted to the Clerk and the other officers, for the efficient manner in which they served the board during the year and also to the religious denominations of the town, for their zeal in visiting the sick and holding prayer meet- ings at the workhouse during the year.
DOLGELLEY.

Pryce Lloyd, with trespassing in pursuit of rabbits on the Nannau Estate on the 26th of March last.—Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, and being the first offence, he was fined 10s 6d, and 10s 6d costs. The money was paid. Non-maintenance of Parents.—An application wa8 made by the Clerk to the Guardians of Dolgelley Union, against Mathew Evans, miner of Aberganolwyn, for re- using to comply with the request of the guardians to contribute towards the maintenance of his mother. De. fendant did not appear.—Morris Jones said I am relieving officer for the district of Talyllyn, Dolgelley Union. The parish of Llanfihangelypennaut is within the union.

An order was made against him for Is per week, 'and, in default, a distress warrant to be issued, and in case no effects be found, imprisonment to follow.
I LLANUWCRLLYN.
LLANUWCRLLYN. OPENING OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS.-The above schools, which were erected by Sir W. W. Wynn at his own expense, were opened on Friday, the 9tli inst. The day was observed as a general holiday in the pariah aud neighbourhood. The proceedings commenced with service in the parish church prayers were said by the Kev. D. Evans, rector of Llanycil, assisted by the Hev. J. S. Jones, B.A., vicar of the parish; aad an excellent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. E. Lewis, M. A., rector of Dolgelley. After the service, an address illuminated on vellum, was presented to Sir Watkin in the new school-room. It was as follows l'o Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wynn. — We, the inhabitants of the parish of l.lanuwchllyn and neigh- bourhood, being deeply sensible of your many kind- nesses, cannot allow the present occasion to pass by without expressing our gratitude for this additional proof of your liberality, in the handsome new school- room this day opened, which you have erected for our benefit. We earnestly pray that you may both be spared for many years to witness the good which we trust will be effected by the increased means of educa- tion now aff'??rdt?d us through your generosity, and we sineerely hope that this may prove an additional con- necting link between the inhabitants of Llanuwchllyn and the noble house of Wynnstay.It was signed by the vicar and churchwardens, and about twenty of the principal parishioners. After the address was read and presented to the worthy baronet, he thanked the farmers aud others who had got it up, and hoped the school would prove a benefit to the neighbouriiuod. He stiongly urged ihe parents to give their children a guod education, as being the only sure means to obtain dis- tinction in the world. He instanced several eminent men he had known who had worked their way through their own exertions. Sir Robert Peel, Stephenson, and many others he could name, had risen from the ranks. He thought that if the Welsh would but endeavour to educate their children thuroughly, there was no reason why they would not take all the places of emolument in Whales, which are now filled by Englishmen. The way to do this was not by clinging to the Welsh language alone. He did not wish to say anything against Weish, but they must learn Engli.-h as well. Tea was then given to the school children, about 'JV0 in number, and afterwards tu their paren ts and others who had come from Bala and neighbourhood. In the eveniug a very entertaining meeting was held in the new school-room. The Vicar opened the proceedings \> itb. an address. He said that it was a source of great satu-faction to him to see that handsome school opeued that day, and hoped it would form a benefit and a blessing, not only to the rising but to the coming generation. He felt a great iuterest iu the success of the school, and he wished to say why he thought it ought to be supported. It was within the reach of the poorest in the parish. In the next place it was a good school. This could be seen from the last report of Her Iajesty's Inspector, which was as follows :—" Uf all the schools I have visited, this is the most crowded (alluding to the old school-room). In spite of all difficulties, however, the children are orderly and cheerful, intelligent, and well taught in re- ligious, as well as elementary subjects." This would show that the inspector was well satisfied with the school; but what ought to give them the greatest satis- faction was, that their children were well taught in religious subjects. The bible was made the basis of all their teachiug, and this was why he thought the school was worthy of the support of every iuha>.itaut, because their children were taught the Book of God. There was another gool reasou why they should support this school. It was a free school. No child was compelled to learn the Church Catechism, if their parents objected to it. This was not done because they thought the catechism erroneous, but because the managers of the school wished to respect the consciences of their friends who differed from them on this point. He would com- mend the school to their support as being a cheap school, a free school, and a good school. Addres.-<<8 were also delivered by the Rev. J. Morgan, H, D and Hev. D. Evans, Llanycil. The Perthyfehn Glee Society sang several songs with great taste and ability. They were assisted by J. Williams, Esq., J. B. Lloyd, Esq., Miss :\1. Joues ( Los l'enllyn), lr R. Harrison, and by Mr C. Jones, Bryn, who recited some Welsh poetry composed for the occasion, to the great amusement and delight of the audience.
