R. 0. Jones and Dr. Pa.ine) Peter Wride, at one time a reHeving-ofncer under the Cardiff Board of Gu.u'diatt?, was brought up on a warrant charged with forging an order purporting to bo made by the guardians of the Cardiff Union for 4a. for four weeks on the 13th of Apri), 1878. Mr. Morgan Rees-defended the prisoner. Chief-Constable Hemingway said the prisoner had only been arrested the day previous. Th's had given the police no time to work up the case, and he asked for a remand for a week. Dr. Fame said the matter had received the con- sideration of the Board of Guardians some four or five years fi,-o, and from circ'umstancea which then came to their knowledge they decided not to take a.ny action. A resotution to this effect was p.\sg,d. which thev thoug-ht would result in the case beiu;, dropped by tuepoiice. Thd Stipendiary: Tha resohitinn. is nothing. I am itere to he&r the casf;, and musL have tiie eviLience. Jt may turn out ROt to be tors'M-y. and I si'aU then be happy to discharge the prisoner. Mr. Harris, deputy clerk to the guardians, in answer to a question, said he was not prepared to i;ive anv evidence. Mr. Stephenson, the cierk. was, however, on his way home, nud would arrive during thenextwCt:k. The prÍ><oner was then for II. wpek, Mr. Rees a,ppi'ed for bait. to which Mr. R. 0. Jones demurred Mr. Kees then 'jrged that the guardians did not wish to press the dmrge. The Stipendtary said they had nothing to do with it. The prisoner was cliirgcd, a-D,,niZ other things with forging the names of the chairman and the late vice-chairman of the board, and he a)so believed there was another charge against him of .Hai) was, however, granted, the prisoner himse!f ending security in..6200 tnd two sureties of .EI.OO each.

D!;ATH OF MR. BKtNLEY I RICHARDS. C'n Monday the announcement wae made public that on Friday last Mr. Hrinley Richards, the eminent Welsh musica) composer, had .succumbed ;,I liis London i'esfdence to an acute attack of in- .Hmtmationofthetungs. 'Flie .ad inwiligenee wit! be received througttout England, aad espe- 'cittUy in Watcs, widt th° utmost regret. lie hud oniy recently returned to Lon- don from the Academy Local Hxatninations. and was at the Royat Academy on Wcdnesdaylast. On Tiiurq(lav morning internal intlammation and con?esHon of the iungs set in and he sank Dtpidty, although hia )ncdic:).( 'tttMndanta, Dr. Lattey ;tnd Di'.rotinck.did ah thfttw!ts possible. Hewas67 year9 fir ag(', but has not lived long enough to Pl the t!H()y aeknowtedgment of his musical services which was recently reported to be prob-tbie. His name, iK'WHVer, will live even as .simple Brinley RiciJarùs, SKt:TCM. Erinley Richards was born in 1319 in Quay- street, Carmarthen, where his lather kept a mufica) repository nnd enjoyed for many ycitrs a tuonopoly in the business, there being no other houM- of the kind in the nei?hbournood. The elder Richards was a member oi a loe.U votunteer corps of the period, and for some time occupied the position of bandmaster. Re afterwards became orgaoist at St. Peter's and it is that he filled the post with considerabte abitity. He had five children, four son'' and one daughter, ait of whomdisp)ayed musical ability of a high order. This is borne out by the fact that wh-'n the father, m dectining years, waa unable to presi<<e at the organ in the old Parish Church, his place was frequently nHed by his daughter and his son WtHiam,who succeeded him. Ineariy life Hrin.ty Richards, being intended for the medical PI-OIRisiotll was placed with a surgeon at Carmarthen, but in a very short time relinquished the ranks of Æ"cu- lapius tor a ctihog more congenial to his tastes. Hit déMt in the musical world, like that of many other prominent Welshmen, was made at a htional Eiateddfod, where he wa" a successful competitor. In the year 183t the Gwent and Morganwg Eisteddfod was held in the grounds of CardiH Caatie. presided over by the Marquess of Hutp,and attended by a briitiant gathering of the litei-ati of Wales. Amongst the of competitors who came to the front was the sub- ject of our sketch, then a lad of fifteen years, with a big heart and a. high-strung, nervous power, who, tn his ardent love for music, forgot his natural timidity, lost sight of the great sea of upturned faces, and was only awakened to its influence by the deafening cheers of delight when the adjudi- cator, "liardd A)aw" (John Parry), in- vested liim with the coveted prize. The success he here achieved awakened a desire among some of tns musical trtenda to duvetop the latent genius of the lad, and with that object in view the Duke of Newcastle was communicated with. His grace at once requested that the boy should be sent to his seat. where a large party was about to be given, and he arrived there in themidst of the festivities. His grace ptayfully introduced him to the asfembled guests as a boy from the wilds of Wales, and asked him to show them what such barbarians could do. Without a sign of encouragement he modestly took hia seat at the piano, and commenced to play one of Beethoven's sonatas. In an instant the careiesscynieismof the audience gave place to astonishment and ad- miration, and by the time the performance was over the duke was so delighted with his newly- found pi-ottgi that ho at once s-nt him to the Hoyal Academy of Music and defrayed the cost of his education. The young musician had only been at the Academy six monti)? when, in 1334, the examination took pluce. but, wiiii cna'.acteristic courage and perseverance, tie entered the lists :.ad, to the surprise of every- one. curried off the Kind's Schoiarship. Two years later ha achieved the s.t.ne lionour, and then t'oiluwed a long period of hard work and patient study, during which time he was lost to public view. Some years tater, at the request of the duke, who paid i'is expenses, he went to Paris to oDrain wii-,it hia grace considered necessary for the comptetion of his musical education, and it was while there that he attracted the notice of Chopin and formed an intimacy which tasted tit) the death ottnatiiiustrious composer. He afterwards be- c.tme a. sub-protess'jr at the Royal Academy, and was ultimately placed upon the directorate. When eventually before the public he s,ill had to face considcrabte dinlculties. Just as in earlier days the painters and sculptors o[ other countries were rfgarded as superior to those of our own,so, in the outset of hn public career. Brinley Richards had to contend against the prejudice in ti)e musical world that English melo- dies were not to be compared to titoae "i France, Gt'rmany.or Italy. Undoubtedty.in Jihting aga.inst, this the roaù hl\ beAn somewliat cieatedbvBa<te, Vincent WaHace,and espGC'ahyhy Sterndale Hennett; but it was the determined and persistent labour of lirintey Rtcnards which eventually curried the day. and the English world awoke to a knowledge of the t:xceuent'e of its own me!ody. This was not achieved by the reiteration of his own beliefs, but by the exhibition of illustrative proofs in the form of a successIOn of !o i np,),;it ions which carried ovtrwhuhuinsr conviction. It cost hun more than 30 yea's of patient effort to do tius—30 years! A lifetime to most men. [n 18137 tI,e rp.wa,l'd came. Writing (,f I)iin in th:\t year, the musical critic of the 1ll1Ltratcd Lrmdon .2V<MM said :— Of ail the present composer:' :nr the pianoforte, no one has done so mucit for the instrument to which lie haa devoted himself. He is a musician of great a.od varied attainments, and has written many things not unworthy of a HeetliovenoraMendeIssohc." His works com- prise:—"Andante con Moto; caprice in F minor, for full orchestra., and theTa.rantelle Herriek's Litany, "In the Uourof Distress," "The Pilgrim's Path" (sacred song, with violoncello obbligato); "The Suliote War Song," sungbyS!tntIey:"Ye little Hirds" (madrigal;; "Up. Quit Tliy Bower" (trio) ;"j\ow Moonlight Gems" (duet for soprano and bass); "Through the day," sacred part. jong another for the grand old verses of George Her- bert, 'Sweet Day so Cool," the "Anita" of :ims Heeves, Lench," The Harper's Grave," How l!autiful is Ni,Iit," "Sound the Trumpet in Zion" \<mthem), and others. "Let.theH.ll-<Rt:sound, a composition wide)) fiashE'ù from one end of Wales to the other like the old beacon iires; The Cambrian Plume," "The Cambrian War Song"; "The Harp of Wtles"Aso'er thePast"; "What Hei)s are tho'-n' 0 whisper wl)at titou feetest (intro- duced into the opera of tlie*'Crown Diamonds" at Drul'y-Iane);" The Old Church Chinu's (duet); "Two Wandering Stars "(duet); "Hither, come hitJwr" (tl'io); and" The Uridalot the Birds" (chorus for ladies' voices). It was undoubtedly the second national anthem, as it is now de- servedly caHed, God bless thu Prince of Wales," tha.t brought our composer to the very height of t'is musiciti fame. The story of its produc- tion, as given by the autltor, is an m- tert'sting one. Its conception occurred iu 1862, at the Eisteddfod held in the ruins of Carnarvon Castle. Ceiriug Hughes nud Urinley Rtcititrds were present, and the foi-iner-a poet not so thoroughly known to the English world as he should be—submitted some of his productions to Brinley that tie might set them to music. A setting was a.ecordmgly found for a song which, translated from Welsh into Kngiish by Mr. George Finley. had for its title "The Prince of Our Brave Land." Briniey -was not satisned with ttte name, and by an inspiration which at once lifted the song out of alt its local influences and made it national, wrote instead the single line God bless the Prince of Wales." He also wrote the four nrst lines. The tnelody. which was as happy as the title of the song, was nrst sung by Sims Reeves on the 14th of February, 1863. and it is stated that the composer on that occasion gave the eminent English tenor one hundred pounds for his services. It 's needless to add that since that time the song has continued to grow in public favour, and may now be regarded as the second national anthem of the British people. Briniey Richards was a prominent member of that select band of Welshmen who believed that Wales in her history, her prose, and musical literature required no adventitious aid. In his lecture given in Kngiaad and in North and South Wales he showed himself an enlightened Weishman, earnest in the search after truth, and aatisned that illusory fame is not worth the holding. He did much in tins o,itsliol(en way for the good of hn country, and may well be regarded as a truer patriot than he who accepts blindly the truth of every legend, from the mvths of Brutut to the fables of Geoffrey. Apart from hia contributiona to musical literature, he gave other solid proofs of his desire to promote the interests of his native land. He was one of the few worthy men who resuscitated the Honourable Society of Cymmro- dorion.and was ever ready to further all kindred effort in the same direction with pen and purse. He always took a lively and practical interest in bringing forward promising talent among his countrymen and countrywomen. Two of these may be instanced-Dr. Parry and Miss Mary Davies. The nrst he aide4 in the Parry testimonial, at the meeting in connection with which Mr. p Henry Richard, M.P., the president, referred to the subject of our sketch aa "Our distinguished countryman, Mr. Brinley Richards. of whom I must say ,in passing, we, as Welshmen, ought to be, and, I think, are proud, not merely on account of the great eminence he has attained in his artt which haa carried his name and reputation all over Europe and the world, but on account of his high and honourable character, and the genuine patriotism he has always displayed for whether it is to promote-the interests of a national institu. tion. or to aid any religious or benevolent enterprise, or to do honour to a brother or sister artiste, Mr. Richards is always generously ready to render his country his valuable services." In the year 1881 the directorate of the Royal Academy of Music, mainly through the instrumentality of Mr. hriaiey Richards, determined to extend ths spttere of the usefulness of that institution by the establishment of examinations ab different centres. Mr. Richards was then unani- mnusly chosen to supervise the whole of the examinations conducted in the Principality. From that time tilt the date of his death he con- tinued to occupy that position, and last year a portion of Scotland was added to his province. It was while encaged in this particutar tine of duty th?.he paid his last visit to Cardiff, he having con- ducted tha focal examinations he! t there in the eariy part of last week. At tha conclusion of these examinations he went to Swuosea, and from thence to Hereford and Gloucester. His health at this time was far from what his friends would have liked to see it, and although his work waa accomplished in a way characteristic of the man, he yet expressed his thankfulness at its completion. It was about this time that he commenced an article on the history and con- struction of Welsh music for the fnurth volume of Sir Georga Grove's Dictionary of Music. To the compositton of this article he devoted his time and attention till within n. few days of his death. He was in constant communication on the subject with his friend Mr. Atkins.Mus. Bac., of Cardiff. who was making some analyses for him. As late as the 28th of April a long tetter was received by this gentleman from him contairin? his views on various Welsh pieces, but on the 30th of the same month, the day before his dealt), his daughter htd to excuse his non-repiy to a letter on the ground tint. he wts sufferino from an attack of internal indammation. which so soon afterwards proved fata). His face was well-known in CardiS, where he had lectured on musical subjects on several occasions. His fame, however, was not a mere local one, and though his frank and outspoken manner gained him detractors even amongat his countrymen, his name wiil last as long as the Welsh language exists and the national love of mlHic is retained. He married a daughter of Mr. Banting, the author of the weD-known treatise on corpulence. fFROM OCR SPKCtAL COBRJSSPONDEKT IS LONDON ] The de.tth of Mr. Hrinley Richards, the talented musician and genia). warm-lie!ti-t4Bd Welshman, has e.tst a gloom over We)sh circiea in London, and wiH. doubtless, carry grief into all Weish homes. Mr. Richards was at the Academy discharging his proteaaional duties on Wednesday, and the news of hi-! sudden death on Friday was a surprise and a shock even to some of his most intimate friends. His denth took phce :tt his residence. St. Mary Abbot's-terrace, Kensington, and the last otHces of respect wit) be paid at Crompton Cemetery on Thursday nixt at twelve o'ciock. The funeral will not, it is understood, be of a private character, and consequently it wit), without doubt, be attended by a great number of London Welshmen. Mr. Briniey Richards was a native of tho old town of Carmarthen, and was birn in the year 1819. As ho himself used to say. he was cradled in song, as his tather was wen-known in local musical circles, and was the organist of Poter's Church. At an early age Mr. Richarda was placed in a surgery or dispuns.u'y at Carmarthen, with a view to his entry into the medical profession. In friendly conversation he used to recount, with great gusto, how a mistake which he made with some medicine entrusted to his c.n-e nearly proved fatal to a hapless patient. and was in itself a proof that Providence had not intended him for a professor of the healing art. The art of music had, however, great charms for him, and at the age of nt'teen lie sent in a smati composition to the Cardin' Eisteddfod of 1834, A party of gentlemen who were on a yaching trip had taken a fancy to the bright, music-loving lad, and had taken him to sea with them. As fortune would have it, stress of weather compelled them to take shelter at Cardiff, and to stay there during the daya when the Eisteddfod w.'s held. They attended the meetings, taking, of course, tho youag Carmarthen lad with them and their astonishment and delight may be imagined when, the announcement having been made, they misled Hrinloy Richards from their midst ands:).w him mount the piattormas the winner of the prize. That a boy of fifteen should be the winner of a pnze upon such a sub- ject took the audience by storm, and a scene of enthusiasm ensued the like of which has rarely been seen at cur Eisteddfodau. He was inveted with the prize by that well-known musician, John Parry. But with that net the assistance of the Eisteddfod ceased. It afforded him an opportunity of trying and proving his power, It gave him an ovation, and then permitted him to return to Carmarthen, to go on in the path of distinction or to fait out of tt as fortune or fate decreed. Luckily. however, the report of hi:' ability and promise of genius reached the pars of the Duke of Newcastle, by whose aid he was enablfd to enter as a student of the Royal Academy of Music before the end of the year. He appued himself most assiduously to his studios, &nd waa able to make such progress as to secure at the end of his nrst ybar tho much coveted scholarship. This distinction he won for the second time in the year 1337. After leaving the Academy Mr. Brinley Richards devoted himself to the arduous career of professor of music. He married an English lady, Miss Banting. who, with a son and daughter, survives mm. During his labours as ft tca.cher he was steadily gainmg fame as a brilliant performer on the pianoforte. Many compositions also were published by him. but at that period—about tho middle of the present century—the prejudice iu favour of Continental composers was so strong that talent of English nationality had little chanco of patron.tg". It is a curious satire upon this state of things that for a long time Brintey Richards was well known and honoured in musical circles on the Continent, white at homa ho was comparatively unknown. Afterwards, however, England made amp)e ameods so t'r as honour was concerned, but it is grievous to have to add that from all his works he derived but the scantiest nnanciat benehts. In 1862, while at the Carnarvon Eistuddfod, he was asked by Ceiriog to Met po'tic verses to music. Among them was a short poem or hymn headed, "The Prince of Our Native Land." For this title Air. Richards substituted "(jod B)eas the Prince of Waios," and re-wrote ptrt of tho nrst stanza in order to adapt it to the change of title. He then composed the well- known air which has been sung. not only amid&t the mountains of Wales, but wherever English rute is cstat'iished and wherever English- men are to be found on the surfacu of the globe. It has been transited into several languages, ha.s been chanted by thousands of Hindoo children in the streets of Madras, and has been accorded, without quest ion, thu place of our second National Anthem. At its m'at appearance it became popu)at; a few captious critics wrote it c<own, but in a trenchant article Punch satirised the critics so scathingfy that ev3n this i'ac'.ion sought refuge in silence, and the genera) appianse was left absolutely undisturbed. For this beauti- ful air Mr. Hrinioy Richards received a JE5 note. Subsequently the publishers, of their own free wiii, sent him a cheque ior one hundred guineas, and that is all the recognition which the taiented composer received. Honouis have been spo6eti of, knighthood has been suggested, aid rumours i14ve periodically circulated to tho eirect that it was to be conferred, but while many have received it for accidental services the gifted composer of God Biess the Prince of Wales has gone to his rest unhonoured save by thf love and respfct of his ffUow-countrymen After the publication of his anthem, Mr. Brintey Richards took his place in the front rank of London musicians. 8ongs of hia composition were eagerly sought and were aung by vocalists like Santtey and Sims Reeves. The press al<o ,)w,)kL to his capabilities. At the Royal Academy of Music he had tor some years been a professor, and when Sir Sterndale Bennett died Mr. Bnnley Richards was unanimously chosen to nil the vacant place on the directorate. At the Welsh Eisteddfodau his face was a very familiar one, and for many years he had been one of the chief musical adjudicators. Lat.terh he had done )t great amount of work as an examiner for the Roya! Academy at various centres, and there is to fear that in performing these duties lie had overtaxed his powers during the last few years of hi-; life. He devoted himself to the study manuscripts dealing with the ancient history of Welsh music, and those who had the privilege of seeing him in his cosy and &rtistical!y-furmahed writing-room at 8t. Abbot's terrace have wondere'1 at the mass of information he had gathered and the laborious hours which he must have spent upon the pi-eptration of notes. His lectures delivered on the subject aroused conside- attention, lie was ILdmired for his fearless exposure of the errova which had, in his opinion, crept in the history of Welsh music. Of all London Welsh movements that were good and praiseworthy he was an earnest advocate und supporter. For years he took an active interest in the Society of Ancient. Britons, and a)ways gave his service3 in the arrangement ot the musical programme at the society's annunl banquet on St. David's Dny. Of the Cymmrodorion Society in its present form he was one of the originators, was until last year a member of its counci), and was then unanimously elected a vice-president. As a conversationatist his powers were very great. He was of a genial, kindly disposition, and nothing pleased him better than to get a few congenial friends around him and to rotate incident after incident of hia life and experiences as a musician. {t is no secret that several Welsh musicians of the present <<ay are indited to Mr. Briniey Richards for the friendly aid and counsel which have proved to them the passports to success. Two names occur to us at &nco in this connection, one of them being that of Dr. Joseph Parry and tho other that. oi; Miss Mary Davies. The story of how he helped Miss Mary Davies is extremely interesting. He had known Mr. William Davies (" Mynorydd"), the father of Misa M&ry Davit., for many Te&ra. and had been associated with him in the musical &rr)tge- mente for the dinner of the Ancient Btitona already aUuded to. At one of these dinners Mr. Brintey Richards was conautted by Mr. Dav)f'e as to the means which he shoutd adopt, to give hit daughter a musicat education. A< soon as Mr. urintey Richards understood the facts of the caa< he offered, to Mr. Dttvios* astonishment, to instruct his daughter free of charge. For two years h« continued to give Miss Davies lessons in music. Finahy.he&Howedher to appear at ona of his concerts in the Hanover-square Room. These concerts were attended by the ilite of London I eociety and nt the artistic world. Before another year Miss Mary Davies had won a Mholarship: offered by Mr. John Thomas (" Pencerdd (iwaiia "),! and entered upon the successful career which ia such cau? tor prtde Md satisfaction to her countrymen. For all this, however, we are indebted to Mr. Richards, who, M Mtas Davies herself says, was her father in the musical pro- fession, to whom she owes all that she ha.3 attained." In all his varied circles of usefulness and honourable work the loss of Mr. Briniey Richards will be severely felt. In him Wales has lost a sincere friend, and one of the few of her sons who have achieved for themselves and for her an European fame. By his death many rising Welsh artists have lost one who was atwaya ready to assiat without counting the cost.

FUNERAL OF DR. HEES, OF SWANSEA. The remains of the late Dr. Rees, of Ebenezer Con grer,atiinal Chapel, Swansea, president-ele<c of the Congregational Union of Engtand and Wales, were buried at the graveyard attached to the Weish Congregational Chape), Sketty, on Tuesday. It was, perhaps, the most remarkabte funeral, in regard to the assembly of ministers and Noncon- formist laity, which has ever taken place in the town, and eclipsed all expectations founded upon the widespread reputation of the deceased minister. The cortege was announced to leave the residence of deceased, Calvert-terraee, Swansea, at one o'clock. At that hour this littte street, which branches off from the fine, broad thoroughfare of Walter's-road, was crowded, as was also Walter's- road for its whole length, with people, private carriages, and other vehicles. The Waltel"-roaù Congregational Church, where the services were appointed to be said over the departed, is only a few yards from Caivert-terrace, and directly the corpse had been taken inside, along with the smafl procession winch it was found possible to form ir the narrow limits of the street, the doors were besieged by an anxious crowd sefking admission. The church, large as it is, was found too small to contain halt the number who desired to attend. During the whole service the road was Hned with persons waiung the departure of the procession. The road rises gently from the chapel on towards Sketty, and the extent of the crowd coutd. therefore, be clearly seen from the chapel gates, outride which a. carriage waited, the &rst of n. string which reached far down Mansel-street in the other direction. The weather looked unpromising in the morning, but became nner in the afternoon, and no rain fell during the proceedings. Inside the pretty edifice the pulpit, organ gauery, and communion table were heavtiy draped in btack. As the coffin ap- peared at the door the choir, which was under the leadership of Dr. Parry, sang the requiem commencing, "Wylwn! Wylwn 'Cwntpa'rcedyrn." The eomn was covered with wreaths of nowers. given by the mayoress, Mrs. Dr. Parry, the employes of Messrs. B. Evans and Co., and others. A chapter having been read by the l{ev. T. Da vies. Llanelly, Professor Morris, Brecon College, ottered a prayer in English. The choir then rendered Hymn 310, to the tuns of I..leidt!Jberg,"Os trwy uhdtau iawer." The Kev. Dr. Bevan. who then ascended the puluit, took his text tro<n the 1st Epistle of St. i'eter, i., 21, and said the deceased had been eatled away before he had fulhited the duties of his exalted omce, and before he had enjoyed those honours which it had been their delight to confer uponhnn. The circumstances of his death were such as would arrest the attention of the most cat-cless, and thoe who knew him intimatelv would ponder with solemn thoughtfulness the mournful event which hud catied them together that day. Let them think for a moment of the cir- CUlDstances of his life and work. A man of ter and exalted virtue had departed this hte. Such a man could iil be spared. Such examples were not numerous, and the innuence of such a good man could not disappear from amongst them without grievous loss. How gre.ttiy would such a loss be by those within his imwediate home cil'cl\J, his friends, and beloved mem- bet's of his household, by those, too, to whom he ministered in the church of which he was pastor, the town of which he was a conspicuous citizen and illustrious ornament, as well as his country- men generaUy. These had by his death been de- prived of a true patriot—a son who had served his land with real aHection and faithful toil. Dr. Rees was even more than time He a Christian lllan and a Christian preacher. H-* was a distinguished minister, and his praise was in all the Churche: To his own pevplo and the interests immediately surrounding them his loss seemed irremediable. He worked tor the extension of his Church with an unset nsh disregard of his own per.sonat His familiar ti,,rure. was always with enthusiasm whenever he rose amongst his bruthur ministers, and there was never a shadow of jealousy or trace of suspicion. The deceased was not brought up amidst fortunate (.'ircuin- stances his were plain, prosaic, humble. and impoverished. There was nothing to call out his powers. or awake his shj<nber<ng genius. Probabty his own temperament was heavy and stuggiah. Hut genius alone could not have done what tjie deceased had. It was the (jospel, the love of Christ, of God. and of human souts; this.it wns which brought him to the tore. The preacher had known Dr. Rees personatiy for it great, number of years, and h.t'J recoliectiona of him a3 a. boy. He had a memory of vast power and "ras always able to remember and ue what lw letrnl. of Dr, Hees's election to the Congreg.ttiona.) chair lie said that on that. occasion fur the hrst time a. Welshman obtamed recognition, and Dr. Rees's name was passed almost unanimously. There was no party I jealousies or bad feeling ot any kind introduced into the election. In conclusion, he paid <t lu4{h tribute to tha abiiities ft the deceased, and attempted to adduce from his death valuable lessons to all present.. ThH Rev. Dr. Thomaa, of Liverpool who suc- ceeds the iati) Dr. Rees as president of the associa- tion, preached a Wetsh sermon, taking as his text Ada xi., 24., "For he was a good than, and full of the Holy Chest, and of faith, and much people was added unto the Lord." This, remarked the preacher, was said of Barnabas. His heart was iuil of the good work, and he was a man who had no iil-feeling against any person. Ho compared Dr. Rees to Barnabas, and then went on to do- scribe the early life of the former. He h!).d made t;re:)t sacrinces for the cause of religion, as 1sarnbls had done. He was speaking of Harnabaa, but they were thinking of some- one etse. He had searched the UiMo for a character to represent thair dear brother who was departed, but none so c)useiy represented him as Biu'naba-s. It was hard to speak of him whose beloved form I&y cotd in death hciow. It was hard to mention his name above that Rower- iaden cojnn, and before those with whom he had laboured for 23 years. But, in the words of the text. he could say, He was a good man, full of the Holy (jhost and of faith, and added much people to the Lord." He was received into the communion of saints at the age of thirteen, he had now ft.und that communion in the bright reahn itbove. Ho commenced low in the minis- terial world, b u t, he rose higher and higher until he reached the crowning; height of ministerial honour in his de- nomination. He had travdled th(iusands of miles with him on this and the other side of the Atlantic. A fortnight ago that day they prnached together by the grave pL.o of Hebron Evans. He was tt home to-d,.ty-iii the heaventy home. Looking down upon the cotEn the preacher pro- ceeded Oh, my brother, we have notparteu yet, We shal) meet again in fairer regions—in the fair land of immortality." The sermon was very impressive,ptu-ticuiariy towards the close, and the Congregation were greatly a.S'ected by the pi..it', simpte, but pathetic d'acourse which the rev. gentteman delivered. The service over, an attempt was made to form a. procession outsida the building. It was fairly well accoiiiplig lied, but the clevoi-ost would have had some dimcuity in properly I arranging such a vast number of persons as were to take part. The clergy and ministers headed tile procession to the number of some hundreds. Then I came the mayor and corporation, the members of the School Board, the members of the Liberal Association, and the deacons of Ebenezer Chf'pel. The hearse and mourning coaches followed close upon these, whilst behind walked the generai public and the private and other carriages. In the nrst mourning carriage were seated the Rev. Dt. Bevan.
