CARDIFF. A R UNA-WAT WRECK.—The Lord John Russell, which was recently wrecked on the beack between Penarth and Lavernock, having been lightened of about 200 tons of c»l, and her anchors and chains, floated in with the tide on Monday evening and the parties to whom her safe keeping was entrusted, not having takeu the precaution to secure her properly, she drifted down channel, and did not stop until she had reached Lavernock Point. Being foung missing, tug steamers were sent after her, and she was towed back to Penarth on Tuesday eveniug's tide, and on Wednesday her hall, masts. topmasts, and b..w- spi-it, were sold by auclion, by Mr. M.

Her stores were sold in separate lots CARDIFF CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.—The extension of the Christmas holidays to the day before Christmas, is be- coming quite general. The drapers and ironmongers of this town will not open their shops on Monday, the 24th instant, in order that they may give their assistants three clear d iys' relaxation ifrom business. We trust that the fpublio will make their necessary purchases of the previous Saturday, so that tbemiployers may experience no annoy- -ance in thus breaking a link in the enslaving chain of the shop and bed" and bed and shop" system indu ed by the late hours to which the shops in this town are kept open. CARDIFF EXHIBITION OF FINE ARTS. The success of this very excellent exhibition becomes more apparent as the nature and extent cf the entertain- ment are beoomicg better known. Jt,is a peculiar and beautiful trait in exhibitions of this nature, that so far from satiating, they rather increase the appetite of those who visit them over and over again. The judicious management which has characterised all the arrangements from the commencement, has, no doubt, been one of the chief causes of its success The ^e wisdom which ensured for the -exposition such a splendid opening, is manifest in the Variety of entertain ment and instruction which is day by day provided. The lovers of music-are especially cared for. On Saturday, It-ite Cyfarthfa. Band. (one of the best in the kingdom) w as, thiough the kindness of R.T.

The subject chosen was an in- teresting one—'Poetry and its influeuce on the Human Mind." The anlheuc? was principally composed of (as tha Dean of Llan<-biff-c fj&atifuUy expressed dt.) the true poetry of Ufa—meatMng. of course, the ladiea. The lecturer, in a highly interesting-style, glanced at the great, English poets from the earliest! times to the present; and read with con- siderable ability, a^tkracts from most of England's bards often adding tø the. beauty of the lines by /pleasing com- positions of an opposite tendency in oontrast-as in giving an extract from Gawper's Task" and Chevy Chase. After alluding to our present laureat—Tennyson—whose compositions on-the war, Mr. Carne thought-fell far short of Byron and Campbell, the lecturer concluded by a high eulogy on the great Glamorganshire bard, lolo "Morganwg, than"whom a greater poet never lived. He however, re- gretted that no stone :*s yet marked the resting place of the poet. Dr. Edwards, at a subsequent part ijf the eve- ning, corrected the learced lecturer, on this point-a day or two previously ane,lpiment sculptor passed through Cardiff, who has received instructions to raise a .fitting monument over lolo Morgauwg's grave. This announce ment was received with;leud applause. The Mayor, in proposing a vote of thanks to the able lecturer, gave an interesting account of his acquaintance with the Welsh poet, and narrated many a-little anecdote of him which were rapturously received by the audience. Some obser- vations from the lecturer and the Mayor on the Exhibition, and the good effect it w.w 'lifeely to have on all, and the working classes in particular, coucluded the meeting. !In the course of the evening,the Royal Glamorgan Band performed the following pieços iSlow March, Era Paco—Lucia di Lammerueaor Bellini.
