LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, TERRACE ROAD, IS NOW OPEN, BY THE PROPRIETOR OF THE WELL-KNOWN ADJOINING ESTABLISHMENT, THE RAILWAY TEA WAREHOUSE, NORTH PARADE, ABERYSTWYTH. 1 Now surely Aberystwyth must admit That JAMES has made a most decided hit. THE OPENING OF THE LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, in connection with the Railway JL Tea Warehouse, North Parade, is an event that will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Aberystwyth. Every new channel of commerce opened in direct communication with the metropolis is an advantage to Aberystwyth, and the more London capital imported into the borough the better, and when that capital is employed in providing articles of the highest excellence and purity so much the better for the domestic comfort and happiness of every household. The Wines and Spirits of this establishment will be drawn from the wood in all their individual purity, without the least approximation to anything in the shape of adulteration, so much practised at the present day. The same id may be said of the splendid Ales and Porter, all tapped and drawn from the wood in the highest possible condition; and when we add tliat the whole of this carefully selected and well bought Stock will be Sold to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth at the very smallest return upon the outlay of capital, we think we have stated enough to induce them ■ to patronize this new emporium of active and beneficial commerce.

THE importation of BLACK TEA into this country during the present Season has been exceptionally large, and at few previous periods has there been so large a variety of qualities brought into the Market.—These facts call for unusual care in the selection of stock-and the exercise of practical experience and matured judgment in the choice of proper descriptions. We have always afforded Consumers the greatest advantage of price, with every possible security as to quality—and the discerning Public have so thoroughly appreciated our system of business, that a much larger amount of patronage has been accorded to our Establishment than to any other similar undertaking, during the same period, in the history of the Tea Trade. The present moderate rate of Carriage of Parcels by Railway affords to Families residing at a distance facilities for obtaining 'their supplies without material additional expense. Whenever desired, iveprepay the carriage of Parcels, including the charge in the Invoice, and our numerous Customers may rest assured that all Orders entrusted to us will continue to have our usual prompt attention. The following qualities are well worth special notice :— W lb. s. d.

HUMPHREY'S GLYCEROARNICINE OINTMENT. fFHIS invaluable OINTMENT for all external sores has been in J, general use in all parts of the United Kingdom and the Colonies for several years past, and its healing and soothing properties as a medicament are such that the more it is known the more it is prized by the public of all classes. Thousands of persons have been cured by it who previously had been suffering for years, and also had given up all hope. Though mild it pene- trates the pores, expels all gross tumours from the system, and ultimately removes the latent causes of disease. In all kinds of ulcerous wounds it is without a rival. HUMPHREY'S OINTMENT will be found thoroughly efficacious in the following ailments and complaints, which it will relieve and cure without fail: Scorbutic and other Ulcers, Sore Legs, Sore Breasts, Scrofulous Tumours, Burns, Scalds, Sore or Scabby Heads, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, and all inflamed diseases of the Skin. The daily increasing demand fully proves its wonderful efficacy. No family should be without a box of Humphrey's Ointment. In boxes at Is. l £ d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

English Wheat 4,689 qrs., foreign 16,877 qrs. There was a short supply of fresh sam- ples this morning from Essex and Kent, mostly in very rough condition. Good dry samples, being scarce, maintained last week's rates; the rest were next to unsaleable. With a fair attendance from the country there was rather more demand for dry foreign, at fully as much money. Country Flour 19,766 sacks, foreign 2,099 sacks 2,750 barrels. The trade remained inactive, but Norfolks and other country sorts were not offered at less money. Foreign sacks and barrels only moved off in retail at the previous quotations. Town-rates were still 47s. for the best. Maize 28,953 qrs. With this heavy supply, rates were reduced fully Is. per qr. British Barley 8,921 qrs., foreign 51,930 qrs.

______ tiATTLK.
tiATTLK. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 6,612 head. There was a large supply of foreign beasts, for which the trade was quiet, at barely previous quotations. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts, although limited, were rather larger than on Monday last. The demand was less active, aud late rates were with difficulty realised. The extreme quotation for the best Scots and crosses was 5s.8d. per SIb. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 870 Scots, &c.; from other parts of England, about 610 of various breeds; from Scotland, 247 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, about l20 head. The market was scantily supplied with Sheep. There was a healthy inquiry for all breeds, at an improvement of fully 2d. per 81b. The best Downs and half-breds sold at 63. 6d. to 6s. 8d., but the latter quotation was quite exceptional. A few Lambs were on sale, including a small number from the Isle of Wight. Prices ranged from 6s. 8d. to 7s. 4d. per Sib. Calves were in moderate supply and fair request, at full quotations. For Pigs the demand was inactive, at late rates. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—We received a good time of year supply of beasts on offer to-day, which met a fair enquiry, at fully late prices. The supply of sheep was seasonably large; a fair clearance made in a few instances very choice light weights realised 10d., the general top price was 10d. Calves a fair snp- ply; trade steady, and full prices maintained. Fat pigs a short supply; a clearance made at extreme prices. Quotations:— Beef, 6Jd. to 8d. per lb.; mutton, 8d. to 10jd. per lb.; veal, 6Jd. to 8d. per lb bacon pigs, 12s. to 12s. 9d. per score porket pigs. 12s. 6d. to 18s. 9d. per score.

Cheese rules high, and best dairies are bought up at 82s., 83s., and 84s. LONDON POTATO, MONDAY.—The supplies of Potatoes are good, and more than equal to the demand. The inquiry has been limited, at drooping prices. The import into London last week consisted of 717 sacks from Calais, 242 tons Rouen. 50 bass Boulogne, 6,105 bags Antwerp, 2,729 sacks Dunkirk, 85 tons and 3 bags Caen, and 215 bags from Ostend.
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) Although the weather has somewhat taken up during the week, with a tendency to more cold, the change has not been great enough to drain the land, or to make the opening fruit blossoms more secure from danger. Apprehensions not only exist here but on the Continent, as respects the fruit and corn, and some farmers begin to put reserve upon their remaining stocks, in the expecta- tion of amended prices. We have repeatedly noted that nothing is safe that is unseasonable, and the present wet and warmth are more threatening than last summer's sun. The heat then was excessive, but we had a right to expect a good measure of it; while the warmth then penetrated the ground so deeply that a common winter would have been moderated by its effects. Now we have it warm above as well as below, insomuch that plants usually late in breaking their foliage begin to show it, and only one sharp night would do much mischief; as it would seem presumptuous to hope to pass through the winter and spring without such a visitation. Market-gardeners there- fore and greengrocers, who suffered severely from the drought, are threatened again with but a poor chance of escape and should we steen through the ordinarily severe time unhurt, the blooming of the wheat forced thus early will be doubly hazardous. Still the state of the corn trade in no way improves. Wheat has continued dull, but without a positively general decline, and all spring corn has been further reduced by the present foreign sup- plies although more so by larger expectations; for if once foreigners get the notion that the first opening of the ports will be the best chance, we shall certainly have an unmanageable accumulation. There is, however, some stop to the downward movement of wheat in Paris, and several of the country markets of France, as also in Bel- gium while the best qualities have been in such demand at Danzic that rather higher rates have been paid to se- cure these. In New York, after a temporary advance, as the consequence of improved English advices, prices of breadstuffs had rather fallen back, after fair exports for the time of year. And, as it was considered two-thirds of last year's crop yet was on hand in the interior, and that May exports would be met by further early arrivals from the Black Sea for Great Britain, exporters were not sanguine as to the result, which added to the decline pre- vailing.

Henry Rees, of the Welsh Presbyterians, who for a long period had sojourned in Liverpool, and had officiated with great energy and usefulness in the Welsh Chapel in Chatham-street, Endowed with mental powers of a very high order: and conversant with the habits of thought and peculiarities of language of his countrymen, Mr Rees was eminently fitted to labour amongst the Welsh portion of the inhab- itants of that town, and a very long period will elapse before his fervid appeals and his eloquent expositions of truth will be forgotten by those whose privilege it was to sit beneath his ministry. His name was known in all the churches, and his services were solicited in aid of the cause of benevolence and truth, not only amongst the denomina- tion to which he more immediately belonged, but in every section of the Christian Church. Throughout the Prin- cipality his name was a "household word," to be men- tioned only to revive the recollection of events full of interest and satisfaction in domestic life, or pregnant with momentous importance to the cause of religion and truth. Hence, the announcement of his unexpected death, after a few days' suffering, awakened a pang of sorrow through- out the whole of Wales; for, although advanced in years, the sturdy constitution with which Mr Rees was blessed justified the hope that he might be spared for some time to come still further to extend the work to which he had de- voted the energies of his prolonged life, His work, how- ever, was done, and he was "gathered to his fathers" amidst the regrets and tears, not only of his immediate family and friends, but of the whole Welsh people. We understand that on Friday, the 5th instant, Mr Rees attended the funeral of the Rev. Hugh Hughes, of Abergele, who was buried at Llanrwst on that day. Mr Hughes and Mr Rees had long been on terms of intimate friendship; and having each passed through a chequered ministerial career, extending over half a century, it was but natural that Mr Rees should deeply feel the bereave- ment he had sustained in the loss of so old and valued a friend. It was noticed on the occasion that in the service in the chapel at Llanrwst which preceded the interment, Mr Rees delivered an address with more than his cus- tomary eloquence and solemnity, no one then thinking that in less than a fortnight he would be called to follow his friend. There is very little doubt but that on that occasion Mr Rees took cold and laid the foundation of the inflammatory attack of the lungs to which he subsequently succumbed. On Sunday, the 7th of February, he preached at Wrexham, and also officiated at a service on the follow- ing evening, there being at that time no symptoms calcu- lated to occasion alarm. On Tuesday he called at Benarth, Conway, the seat of his son-in-law, Richards Davies, Esq., M.P. for Anglesea, intending on the following day to pro- ceed to that island, but in consequence of his indisposition he was induced to forego his journey, and he remained at Benarth. Towards the end of the week he had so far rallied that hopes were entertained of his speedy recovery; but on Tuesday, the 16th, his symptoms became so alarm- ing that his family telegraphed to Dr Gee, of Liverpool, who immediately proceeded to Conway, and did everything which medical skill could suggest, but Mr Rees gradually sank, and departed this life at 9 15 p.m. on Thursday, the 18th instant, in the 71st year of his age. Immediately it became known in the town that Mr Rees was dangerously ill, special meetings of various Welsh congregations, and particularly of his own flock, were convened for the pur- pose of offering prayer for his recovery. The esteem in which he was held may be inferred from the fact that these meetings were densely crowded. But the dearest earthly bonds which even Christian sympathy and love can form must sooner or later be dissolved in death; and so it proved in this case, for at the very time when one of these solemn meetings was being held the venerated pastor breathed his last. The deceased was born in the year 1797, in the pictur- esque village of Llansannan, situate at the foot of the Hiroethog mountains, in Denbighshire. His grandfather was a native of Llandeilo Fawr, in Carmarthenshire, but in his capacity of revenue officer he removed to Llansannan about the middle of the last century. Here he married Miss Gwen Lloyd, the heiress of Chwibren Isaf, in that parish, a branch of Lloyd's descendants of Hedd-i- Molaynog, one of the chieftains of North Wales, who formerly resided at Henllys, Llanfair-talhaiarn. Their son Daniel Rees, the father of the deceased, was married to Miss Anne Williams, of Cefn-y-Fforest, and they lived at Chwibren, where their son Henry Rees was born in March, 1797. His father was an elder of the Calvinistic Methodist or Welsh Presbyterian Church, and was so noted for his talent in prayer that many persons used to say that they would as soon hear Daniel Rees pray as hear John Elias preach. The deceased's mother was a woman of great strength of character. It was therefore not re- markable that with such parents young Henry Rees should be early impressed by religious influencies. Narrating recently his first religious impressions, the deceased said- Ever since I remember, I used sometimes to be afraid of death; when alone I was afraid to do any known wicked act, and was fond of preachers and preaching. I do not know when such things first began to engage my attention, but I recollect being impressed when very young by cer- tain remarks in a sermon, and after going home I retired quietly in order to preach the remarks over to myself. If such a disposition was a sign that preaching was to be my lot, I have frequently in more mature age grieved that some of the fathers of the church did not understand it at the time, and take pity upon me by shaking me out of my day dreams and placing me under better culture and mental discipline in order to prepare me for the work." At this time the deceased and his brother, the Rev. Dr Rees, of Liverpool, spent the principal portion of their time among the sheep-walks of the Hiroethog mountains, where he doubtless acquired the poetic inspiration by which his sermons were afterwards distinguished. When still a lad seventeen or eighteen years of age, the deceased was ap- pointed superintendent of a Sunday school held in the neighbourhood, and even then he gave promise, by the dis- play of unusual pulpit ability, of the high position which he was destined to occupy. When eighteen years of age he went to reside with the Rev. T. Jones, who then lived near Abergele, and was the author of several well-known works. Mr Jones was a man superior ability and education, and a leading minister of the Calvinistic denomination; and from his society and example, and the admirable training which he here received, Mr Rees, derived great advantage. He was also for some time under the tuition of' the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, of Abergele, of whose piety and excellence of character he frequently spoke in terms of high commendation. In the year 1818, Mr Rees then being only twenty-one years of age, he commenced his career as a preacher, and his subsequent history proved that with growing knowledge and widening experience he became year by year more and more acceptable to the various congregations in the Principality amongst whom he laboured. It is said that his first sermon was preached in the neighbourhood of his own home, and the impression then created on thoughtful minds was that he was in every y respect qualified to rise a high and eminent position in his profession. After the sermon, it is reported thas Mrs Rees said to her husband—Well, what do you think of Henry's sermon?" and the significant answer was, I am sure that he will do better for a preacher than anything else." In the year 1824, when Mr Rees had reached his 24th year, he received a call from the church at Shrews- bury to become their minister, and to that place he shortly afterwards removed. His residence in that part will long be remembered by all who had the pleasure of his society and the profit of his ministrations; but it was more distinguished by his application to study and meditation, whereby he was qualified to render such eminent service to the church, than by the display of those striking pulpit gifts which afterwards distinguished him. This was undoubtedly the period in which he gained that knowledge and experience which subsequently became the foundation of his greatness as a preacher and of all the moral influence which he exerted as a private Christian. During this period the works of the Puritan divines of the 17th century, and especially the writings of Dr Owen, engrossed his attention, and only those most conversant with the deceased know to what extent he was indebted to the influence of these writings in the formation of his character and in the manifestation of his wonderful ability as a preacher. In Christmas, 1836, Mr Rees removed from Shrewsbury to Liverpool, and became one of the pastors of theWelsh churches, and in that connection he continued until the day of his death—a period sufficiently long to test the character and ability of any man, but not too long to reveal the sterling worth and the many estimable qualities of Mr Rees, who every year became more and more beloved by all with whom he was brought in contact. It was in that town that Mr Rees was brought into con- nection with his honoured friend and colleague the Rev. J. Hughes, who died in 1860; and to their united efforts is mainly attributable the high position which the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists occupy ,^n Liverpool at the present day. It would exceed the limits of this notice to mention all the services which the deceased rendered to the Christian Church, or the prominent positions which he was called to fill. Suffice it to remark that in 1839 he visited the churches of the denomination in the United States, and also attended the congress of the Evangelical Alliance in Berlin. A few years later he visited the chief stations of the church in Brittany; he was also appointed the moderator of the first general assembly of the church, and he was president of the last synod or quarterly asso- ciation of the denomination held last year in Bangor, when he addressed nearly 30,000 persons with all the fervid eloquence which had distinguished his earlier days: As a divine, Mr Rees was not only well read in the works of the Puritan fathers, but he studied and appreciated the mental productions of modern thinkers of all sections of the church. His broad catholicity of spirit raised him above the petty jarrings and discordant bickerings which too frequently mar the usefulness of men, so that it might be truly said of Mr Rees that he was not the man of a sect, but of the church. As a preacher and as an orator, with- a' out appealing to popular passion or seeking sensational effect, he exercised over the audience he addressed a quiet but irresistible influence, while as a man and a Christian he impressed all with his deep and unaffected devotion and piety. By his death the churches in Liverpool and throughout the Welsh Principality suffer a loss which at present appears irreparable, and especially in the capacity of a leader in conference. In 1860, when his friend and colleague the Rev. J. Hughes departed this life, he was buried, amidst the general lamentation 0j his countrymen and friends, in Smithdown-lane Cemetery. On that occasion Mr Rees remarked that, whenever he was called to his account, he should like to be buried in the grave adjoining his dear and departed friend, and on the following morning a member of his congregation purchased the adjoining grave space, in which it was hoped by the Liverpool congrega- tions his remains would rest; but Mrs Davies, his only child, whilst fully appreciating the kindly feeling which prompted the wish, in conjunction with other members of her family, resolved to provide for her father a resting- place in one of the most singular, if not romantic, burying- places in North Wales. In the Menai Straits, not far removed from the suspension bridge, is a small island containing a church, formerly the place of worship for the inhabitants of Menai Bridge, but now used only for the P^P0808 °f interment, and on this spot, washed by the ebbmg and flowing tide of the ocean, it was resolved to leave the remains of one whose eloquence had often thrilled the congregations of Wales. Strange as this may appear it was an arrangement dictated by the purest filial affection, and will no doubt reconcile the Welsh 'inhabit- ants of Liverpool to the disappointment which they experienced at finding that they were not to be the honoured guardians of the ashes of so venerable a man. We trust that we do not encroach upon the privacy of private life, when we say the deceased was buried in Llandysilio churchyard at the express wish of Mrs Davies, because Mr Davies is about to built a mansion on the Anglesea shore of the Straits, whence the last resting place of Mrs Davies's father can always be seen. As soon as it was understood that the funeral was to take place at the Menai Straits, arrangements were made for affording to the inhabitants of all parts of Wales an opportunity of testifying their respect for the deceased. It was arranged that the funeral cortege should leave Benarth, the seat of Mr Richard Davies, M.P., at Conway, about ten a.m. on Wednesday, and should join a procession to be formed at Bangor at two p.m. and walk thence to Llandysilio Church, where the interment was to take place. In accordance with this arrangement, special trains heavily laden ran from St. Asaph, Aberystwyth, Anglesea, Carnarvon, Dolgelley, Barmouth, Bettws-y-Coed, Liverpool, and other places, all conveying friends anxious to testify their affection for their de- parted spiritual adviser. Of course, Liverpool, where the deceased was best known, contributed very largely to the influx of visitors. The special train, which left Monk's Ferry shortly after nine o'clock, consisted of twenty-two carriages, and conveyed nearly 600 persons of all stations in society anxious to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they so highly esteemed. This train reached Bangor about 12 20, but long before it arrived at its destination the rain fell as rain falls only in Wales, and it at once became apparent that the funeral procession would be shorn of much of its magnitude and importance. It was arranged that a special service for the Liverpool congregations should take place at the Tabernacle Chapel, Bangor, at 12 30, and thither every one repaired im- mediately the train arrived. This place of worship, of limited dimensions, which was' draped with black cloth, was speedily filled. The service, which lasted about an hour, and was in Welsh, was conducted by the Rev. Dr Phillips, of Hereford; the Rev. John Hughes, the co- pastor of the deceased in Liverpool; and the Rev. Roger Edwards, of Mold; the whole concluding with prayer by the Rev. W. Morris, of Rhuddlan. Each of these ministers spoke in the highest terms of the Christian character and distinguishing pulpit qualifications of the deceased, and all admitted that the Christian church had sustained a loss which could be repaired only after the lapse of a considerable time. At two o'clock a procession was formed at the Penrhyn Arms Hotel in the following order, but the rain, which was now falling in torrents, accompanied by a strong gale from S.S.E., deterred many from joining it, ana gave those who dared to venture to Llandysilio such a thorough drenching that they will remember the occasion for many years to come :-Ministers from Wales including the Rev. J. Owen, of Tynllwyn, moderator of the con- ference Rev. R. Edwardes, of Mold, secretary of the assembly. Anglesea: Revs. H. Jones, J. Pritchard, J. Jones, E. Davies, J. Donne, J. R. Hughes, R. Hughes, H. Hughes, D. Roberts, and J. Roberts. Carnarvonshire: Revs. G. Hughes, Edeyrn; T. Owen, Portmadoc S. Roberts, Bangor; R. Roberts, Carneddi; G; Jones, Tregarth; G. Jones, Carnarvon; H. Roberts, J. D. Rowlands, D. Morris, T. Hughes, J. Jones, Aberkin; R. Ellis, Yscoldy; J. Roberts, Llanberis. Denbighshire: Revs. G. Parry, Llanrwst R. Roberts, and W. Roberts, Abergele J. Williams, Tal-y-bont; W. Morris, Rhudd- lan J. Williams, Rhyl; R. Hughes, Conway; H. Symonds, Wrexham John Jones, Moriah and Emrys Evans. Flintshire: Revs. J. Williams, Rhyl; B. Hughes, St. Asaph; B. Jones, Bagillt; W. Pierce, M. Jones, Flint; J. Foulkes, Holywell. Montgomeryshire and Merimethshire Revs. T. J. Wheldon, M.A., New- town J. F. Jones, B.A., Machynlleth; T. G. Gray, Welshpool; Dr Edwards, Bala College; D. Jones, Dyffryn A. Jones, B.A. Festiniog; D. Davies, Bar- mouth W. Williams, Corweh. South Wales: Revs. G. Davies, Aberystwyth: W. Powell, Pembroke; and Dr Phillips, of Hereford. Associated with these ministers were also the Revs. D. C. Davies, M.A., Lon- don; W. Jones, B.A., Manchester; L. Ellis, Runcorn; J. Williams, Runcorn; J. Lewis, Birmingham: R. Davies, Shrewsbury. Then followed deacons and friends from various parts of Wales, succeeded by singers from the respective places of worship in and around Bangor. Immediately in the rear of the singers were the ministers from Liverpool, including the Revs. R. Lumley, J. Hughes, T. C. Edwards, M.A.; J. Thomas, M.A. J. Parry, J. Williams, A. Green, B. Evans, W. Williams, J. Lamb, and D. D. Jones. The Rev. O. Thomas, one of the co-pastors of the deceased, was prevented from attending; but it may afford satisfaction to his friends to know that he is gradually recovering from his recent in- disposition. Following the ministers from Liverpool was a large number of deacons and members of the several churches. Then came the hearse, drawn by two horses, and followed by two mourning coaches, including, in the first, Mrs Rees, the widow; R. Davies, Esq., NI.P. Mrs Davies, and Master J. R. Davies. In the second coach were the Revs. Dr Rees and Dr Edwards, of Bala; Messrs H. and Ebenezer Rees, nephews of the deceased. The mourning coaches were followed by seventy-four con- veyances of almost every conceivable form and size, each carrying as many passengers as could be crowded into it and in this order, through torrents of rain, the procession wended its way towards Menai Bridge. On arriving at the causeway which connects Llandysilio with the main- land of Anglesea, the procession first divided into two portions to allow the Liverpool congregations to pass through, and these again defiled right and left to permit the passage of the body and the mourners into the wretched building called a church. This was speedily crowded, and the greater part of the procession, which had by this time swollen to- about 4,000 persons, was left to the pelting of the merciless storm. The body was borne from the hearse by the 'servants of Mr Davies, M.P., and the pall was borne by Mr D. Roberts, Mr. P. Williams, Mr W. Jones, andMr J. Roberts, all of Liver- pool. The funeral service was performed by the Rev. J. Watkin Davies, of Menai Bridge, and it was expected an oration would be delivered over the grave but we are informed that this was interdicted, and that beyond the ordinary funeral service of the English Church nothing transpired, if we except a very touching incident which took place immediately tha service had closed. The benediction had scarcely been uttered when Master J. R. Davies advanced to the grave, and with considerable emotion laid upon the coffin containing the remains of his grandfather a beautiful wreath of flowers-an exhibition of affectionate regard which drew tears from many of the spectators. The coffin, covered with black cloth and bearing a simple inscription, was deposited in a grave hewn out of the solid rock, and, immediately after the immense concourse of spectators had cast a last fond look on all that remained of one they loved, the church- yard was deserted, and the immense congregation dispersed. There is very little doubt that, if the weather had been fine, the' concourse of spectators would have numbered very many thousands but the spectacle was amply sufficient to show the wide-spread esteem in which Mr Rees was held. „ „ We ought to mention that before the body of Mr Rees was removed from the residence of his son-in-law a suitable service was conducted in the house by the Rev. Dr Edwards; and on Sunday evening services in connec- tion with the solemn event were held at Bangor. Upper Bangor, Carnarvon, and Menai Bridge. During the progress of the funeral procession through Bangor all business was suspended, and nearly every shop was closed. -Liverpool Mercury. —

BREAKFAST.—A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.—The Clivil Service Gazette has the following interesting remarks:— There are very few simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable and important dietary properties as cocoa.. While acting on the nerves as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of the purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a great measure upon the manner of its pre- paration, but of late years such close attention has been given to the growth and treatment of cocoa, that there is no difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully developed. The singular success which Mr Epps attained by the homoeopathic preparation of cocoa, has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Epps's Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraordinary merits. Med- ical men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommend. ing it as the safest and most beneficial article of diet for per- sons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a particular mode of preparation over all others is a remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained from little causes. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a deli- cately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors'bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hun- dreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame."
