0 HolyweIl.-On Wednesday the 6th and Thursday the 7th inst., Mr. P. M. Evans, publisher, of this town, treated those employed by him, about 40 in number, to dinner and tea at his residence, which were in every way sumptuously served by the lady of the house. On the 6th the elder members of the estab- lishment were entertained, and on the 7th the younger ones. Several toasts were given, such as the Queen the Prince and Princess of Wales; the President—Mr. Evans Mrs. Evans and family; the relatives of the family; Welsh literature, and several others. Speech, s were made by the vice-president—Mr. Wm. JoneE, foreman, and other gentlemen present. In reply to the hearty expressions of thanks for the entertainment, Mr. Evans remarked that it gave him great delight <0 meet such a number of friends around his table. He was sorry that all could not be entertained together owing to the size of the room. However, though they could not all meet together, they should all meet with a hearty welcome. He had heard the terms "master" and" workmen" used by several speakers present, which were not very pleasing to him; such terms had a grating sound in his ear, and he would much prefer other and such terms that indicated a closer alliance, and a more sympathetic connection be- tween himself and them. He did not regard himseli as being elevated to a great distance above them, but, on the contrary., he felt that they should regard each other with feelings of equality, arising from their ccn- fidence in him, and his in them. Providence certainly had placed him at the head of the establishment, still, he was but a co-worker with them in the business. He it was on whom fell the work of thinking, contriving, and, so to say, bringing corn to the mill, and they, on the other hand, carried forward the work. And, with respect to their part of the work, he could assure them that he always placed the fullest confidence in them. If on an hour's notice he were called from home, he had no need of leaving this and that order and direc- tion to them, but always felt happy i.i knowing that they were men each of whom knew well his duty and did it, so that he (Mr. E.) on returning never vet found the confidence he placed in them in anywise betrayed. Nothing gave him more pleasure than to see all in food spirits, with cheerful countenances, and manly eartiness; nor, on the other hand, did anything pain him more than to see any one of them unhealthy, desponding, or spiritless. He wished them all a happy new year, and hoped soon again to meet them at bis table. The proceedings were brought to a close by three well merited and hearty cheers for Mr. and Mrs, Evans for their handsome entertainment, #

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
