G LAM ORG A NS11IR /• SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN VOIIEIGN PARTS. ) The Anniversary Meeting of the Glamorgan Dis- trict Committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, was held on Tuesday last, at the Dear Inu, Co%i brid,,e John Nicholl, Esq. M.P. in thecluir The meeting "as most respect- ably attended, principally by the same gentle- men wholll we recognised at the meeting of the of the Society for the Diffusion of Christian Know- ledge. The Rev. J. M. Traherne, treasuser, read the accounts of the Society for the past year, which showed that the ListitiUion was in a very satisfactorv state, and were audited and passed. 'J he thanks of the meeting wore then voted to the Rev. J. lW. rraherno, for his valuable assistance in conducting the affairs of the Society. The Ret. Chancellor Knight expressed much gratification at the successful progress of the So- cietv. They had at the present tim150 missionaries in Canada and Nova Scotia, and 143 seviool iiiasters, besides having made a most cheering* progress in 1 ;di, In that region, lie was informed that a highly p distinguished individual of the Hrahininical Caste and eminent for his great scientific attainments had through the means of the Society become lately converted to the doctrines of Christianity and was d-sjroiis of receiving the rite of baptism". After a feu other observations the Rev. gentleman sat down and the thanks of the meeting were voted to the, cjairman and the Society separate CO'.V BRIDGE DISTRICT SOCIETY FOR PRO- MOTlNG CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. The Aiiiiivet-ui- v Meeting of this excellent Associa- tion was held on Tuesday last at the Bear Lin, Cow. b idge. We were highly gratified at witnessing- the earnest interest t;ikc:i in the promotion of the objects of the Association by a large portion of she leading :(I most respectable gentlemen and clergymen of the county, among whom we noticed, J. Xit-holl, Esq. the Rev. W. Bruce Knight, Chancellor of the Diocese; Rev. Dr. Williams; Colonel Morgan; :\1. P. Traherne, Esq. T. B. 11,Ais, Esq. Rev. II. E. Giaham; Hev. J. Harding; Rev. J. Kdwardes; Hev. Huoh Williams; Rev. Evan Thomas; Rev. J. Casberd hev, Evan Jones; Rev. John Williams Rev. J. Powxl Rev. 1 homas, &c. &c. &c. About one o\loc! o:r the motion of the Ilcv. Chan- cellor Knight, accompanied by a well deserved tribute of praise to the a'<Uity and efficiency wiih which Mr. Nicholl's father, the Right Honourable Sir John Nicholl, had hitherto filled the chair, John Nicholl, Esq. M.P. was unanimously called to that honour. The Jlev. Hugh Williams, Secretary, then proceeded t > read a letter from the Rev. William Parker, one of the Secretaries to the Parent Society, in which a very gratifying sense is expressed of the judicious arrange- ments .,lId the efficiency of the exertions of the Cow- bridge District Committee. Mr. Williams next read the account of the Society for books bought and sold for the last ye !i\ from which it appeared, much to the satisfaction of the meeting, that the debt due to the Parent Society, was I less than at the anniversary ill last year. This impiovctnent the Rev. Secretary ascribed to a more economical practice, ill iiot oi-dei'- ing a errrater number of books than were actually re- quired. S unc conversation arose on the practice by the Parent Society of charging to the District Com- mittcj !'2s. 'id. for Welsh Bibles, which the Parent So- ciety sold to members oftheir body at (is. and which the District Committee afterwards sold to the poor at the same price of Us. It was a aetei-al impression that the Part nt Society ought to make sorue abatement to the Distiicf Committee (¡cm this piiceof 12s. ^d. T. B. Rous, Esq. suggested that some members of the Committee should become members of the Parent Society, hy which they would be entitled, under the rules of that Society, to purchase the Welsh Bibles at 6s. After some observations from the Chairman and -v ii the Rev. Chancellor Knight, this plan was agreed to. The Rev. Secretary then read the general statement of the Treasurer's accounts, which showed that the Society was in un improving state. There had indeed been Il subscribers removed by death or by a re- moval of residence, but there were seven new nuh- fciibers: and one item which excited great pleasure, was a contribution of WI. from the Rev. H.E.Graham, produced by a sermon preached by him on behalf of the Society. The Rev. Secretary then stated the number of books sold and distributed gratuitously which are advertised in another part of our paper. I —He then moved the appointment of officers for the ensuing year. £ These appointments are advertised in another column.) In moving the thanks of the mecuug io meiifv. ri. c,. oraiiain, lor his sermon in behalf ot the S- ciety, he paid a high and just tribute of praise to the exertions of that gentleman in the excellent obji-cta ct the Institution, and eloquently enlarged upon the important advantages that may be derived by that practice. Mr. Graham, in returning thanks for the honour done him, spoke with great niodesty of the services that his Rev. friend had so highty eulogized, and expressed the great happiness that he wou'.d feel in promoting the objects of the Institution. ° The Kev. Chancellor Knight, then, in a very hand- some speech, moved the thanks of the meeting to the Rev. Hugh Williams for his very abtc and efficient services as secretary to the District Society, ser- vices which must be valued by all who have at heart the interests of the Society, and by which he con- sidered the present success of it to be mainly pro- duced. The unwearied assiduity of his Rev. friend in conducting the aiTairsofthe Society, and the great assistance he had rendered in arranging the business of their depots, were entit'ed to their warmest thanks; but in this iustance the obligation was doubly height- ened fioiii the circumstance of their worthy secretary having made these exertions under a painful struggle apninst ill health. The Hev, Hugh Williams in returning thanks for the honour done to him, regretted that ill health had prevented him rendering more efficient service to the Society, and acknowledged great obligations to the assistance of the Rev. H E. Graham. Ii was remarked by a gentleman, that some incon- venience had been lateiy experienced at Bridgend from an insufficiell t supply of books, in reply to which the Rev. secretary read a letter from Mr. l';r. Pai,k-er, statii., it supl)ly had been sent front t'.sc Parent Society by the Metnuon, on the 29th of August, which however had not yet come to hand. The Rev. ( haucellcr Kliight then begged to draw t ic attention of the meeting to some points which he "sential to the objects of the Institution. Besides the distribution of the Holy Scriptures, and other religious books, the Parent Society, in London, had lately formed an Association for printing and circulating, at a cheap price, works of general litera- ture, by which the spirit of enquiry in all other branches of kuow ledge might be satisfied, without danger of the contaminating taint too frequently found in modern cheap publications. This Associa- tion, which he could not too strongly recommend to the attention of tilt, meeting, was called the Committee of General Literature. It was framed for the diffu- sion of works especially calculated for schools even of a very high grade, of works embracing all the various departments of interesting at:d literary know- leclg: and of elementary works on various sciences. The publications of the Committee of General Litera- ture were composed under the inspection of Bishops fi;\d other dignitaries of the Church their circulation already wa very large. Of works on religious sub- jects that Society had already diffused more than four millions, and of the Saturday's Magazine alone, the sale duriijg the first ten months, Jie understood, was no less thr.n 80,000 and he considered it a strong proof of the efficacy of these publications, that the numberless shops and stalls which not long ago inundated the metropolis with tracts abounding with b'a-phemy, sedition, and wickedness in every form, were now nearly swept away. This was a most im- portant. fact, as it went to show that the reil- taste, the natural iticiiii-itioi of the English people, flows not to such thijurs. The enemy has hitherto taken that ground which it behoves the friends of religion and of virtue to occupy. We were called upon, by every motive by which the Society was actuated, to strengthen the religious principles, to cultivate the religious fee-JIn^s of our Christian brethren we were called upon-also to take possession of the Christian mindly satisfying that appetite, that craving for general knowledge which is inseparable from human mature. Let us go forwaid and meet the desire of ti e people in this t expect :-tM may rest assured that t. e people also will come forward and meet us. If we HpJir es'lou.s ,0 SCI1^ i-r>:o every house, if we were which"*™ °,c.lrcuiatL'in e very family those publications tnre aiid 11 31 '•? afFord th* Salifications of litera- wovks whichwo^d .real.knowl*dSe 5 under a delusion and U.n< eCGIVe wh° the children of our bretW ,? °"u ch;ld,ren» a,ld those principles i, n would lead to brighter pros- pects, we would give b i"«»- ° every assisiauee :n promot ng the objects of this new and important bl anch of the Parent Society. As a first step for this purpose he would suggest the publication of catalogues of the works prbli.-ht-d by theCo'iimittee of General Literature, with the prices aHlxcJ, and that the Meeting, and not only the clergy, but the lay friends of the Association, to whom the Society were deeply it-d bted should interest theniscive., in diffusing those catalogues as extensively ae, possible. He understood that these publications were issued upon such terms as to admit of booksellers dealing in them as a matter of trade, and he was ill- formed that Messrs Webber, of Newport, already did so. He hoped the example would be extensively fol- lowed, and that the Meeting would concur in producing such all effect. Indeed the establishment of depots for that purpose, conducted by men of business in that trade, he thought might be advantageously adopted. Another object which he considered hig-hly desirable was, that the clerical fl iellds of the Society should endeavour to collect smaU subset iptions in aid of the funds and efficiency of the Society. This was a prac- tice adopted with great success by other denomina- ;iolis of Christians, and he hoped that the Clergy of our own Established Chuvch would not be outstrip! in their exertions in behalf of a Society peculiarly at- tached to that Church of which they were ministers. A conversation ensued as to adopting means for giving greater publicity to the meetings of the Society, in which the Rev J. Harding remarked that such a course was desirable not only for the iuterests of the Society, but as an act of justice to the liberal sup- porters of it. The impression of the meeting was in favour of meeting in future in the Town Hall. On the motion of the Rev. H. E. Graham, it was re- solved thut the itev. NV. B. Knight be requested to preach a sermon in aid of the Society on its next an- niversary, which the Hev. Chancellor consented to do. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to (he Chairman, and the meeting separated much gratified with the progress of the Society during the year. AGRICULTURAL MEETING. The Annual Meeting of the Glamorganshire General Agricultural Society, for awarding pre- iniums for Stock, was held in the Bear Inn, in Cow- bridge, on Tuesday the 29th inst. The show of stock was excellent, in hit.-It condition, and afforded niiiii- berles3 specimens, which for size, breed and figure, may be boasted with just pride by the county of Glamorgan. Mr. Walker, a gentleman from Eug- land, attended as judge of the show, and his deci- sions "-ave "cneral satisfaction. The two premiums ior the bull^ cow and calf, were awarded to Messrs. P. and T. Williams and W. and 1. Evans the heifers to Messrs. Bradley and Mr. John Skyrme, for the Yoke of oxen to Mr. D. Jenkins; for two years old Glamorgan steers, to Messrs. Bradley; I and the same beasts were immediately shewn for the premium offered for the best of any breed, and were again successful when Messrs. Bradley most hand- somely nave up the premium to the next best com- petitors, but felt most highly gratified by the tribute of superior merit thus ct-inced to the Glamorgan breed in which they have taken great pains to excel. Mr. Lewis George got the premium for the best year- ling steers; Mr. Henry Morgan, for yearling and aged bulls; Nir. Barnes, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Lewis for rains Mr. Harry and Mr. Lees, for ewes; Messrs. W. and 1. Evans, for wethers Mr. Wood and Mr Fowell, for fat beasts; Mr. Thomas and Mr. Lewis for boars R. F- Jenner, Esq Mr. Thomas Thomas and Mr- Lewis Thomas, for horses. The pleasure of the day was enhanced by the fine- ness of the weather, and the meeting was most respectably and numerously attended. After the business of the show, upwards of GO gentlemen sut a t down to an excellent dinner at the Bear Inn, and the chair was most ably tilled by the Hon. W. B. Grey, the worthy President of the Society, supported bv Mr Nicholl M-P- alld tlie Rev- Chancellor Knight, on iiis right and left. A number of loyal and appro- priate toasts were drank, and the evening was pas- sed with much hilarity and good humour. CovvBHiDGE.—The races, which are to fake place here in the Grand Hunt W eek, Nov, 18, are expected to afford much amusement. The old race course over the Stallion Down is undergoing suitable repairs for the occasion, and a hurdle race, which is to be run at the same time, is much talked of PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—Last week a man at Penliine was coming down from a barley mow when he unfortunately fell upon the handle of a pike, which entered the lower part of his body and inflicting a very serious wound, nearly forced its wuv through about the centre of the abdomen, carrying with it a portion of barley straw I t inches'in length. J hrollgh the exertion of the great professional talents of Mr. Thomas Davis, of Cowbridge the poor fellow is likely, we understand, to recover! NEATH PETTY SESSIONS, OCT. 25. ASTONISHING CURE OF LAMENESS.—An ill look- inrr man, who g-afe his name Henry Hughes, and a native ot London, was brought up to the Hal! by the constable of tne parish, for singing1 and begging about the town. It appeared by the constable's statement, that Hughes was begging in the street apparently d w quite lctmey and without a hat, coat, shoes, or stocklllgs. 0" Hughes observing that the constable was eycillg him with rather more than usual attention, he immediately bolted off at a rapid rate, to the amaze- ment of the constable, when a race ensued, Hughes leaving his pursuer, together with his lameness be- hind. But a person on horseback chancing to see the chase, and suspecting that all was not exactly right, set on on the gallop after the fugitive, turning him twicc!the pursuit, by which means he was cap- I tured, and lodged in the town prison for the night. When before the Magistrate, F. Fredricks, Esq the constable stated that the prisoner was belongiug to a gang of about twenty vagabonds, who infest the tow") with a view to beg and plu nder and that his comrades, on hearing that Hughes was in custody, had taken tll ell, departure, fearful of the consequences. The prisoHet besought the Magistrate to release him for this once, and that he would never again make his appearance in the town. Mr. Frcdricka was loath to comply vvitn his request, but considering that the object of the public would be gained if the fellow kept his promise, he consented to discharge him, order- ing, however, that the constable should see him out of the town, which was done accordingly. At the same Sesbions, Margaret Mainwrring, the wife of Francis Maimvaring-, labourer, was bound over to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour to- wards Catherine Davies, the wife of John Davies, sawyer, both of this town. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening, while an old woman, nearly eighty years of age, was picking bits of coal at the bottom of -all inclined plane at the Schcwcn, near Neath, some of the machinery gave way, in consequence of which three trams came with such force against her, that she was struck down and mangled in a dreadful state, and soon afterwards died.. CUSTOM-HOUSE CONVICTION AT SWANSEA. The trial of Mr. William Padley, on a charge of smug- gling, was proceeded with on Thursday week, and William Duncombe called as a witness on the part of the Ci-cwii. His evidence, in substance, was nearly the same as the case reported in our last. Mr William Padley called several witnesses. Mr. Iiichaid Williams, ship-broker, sivorn.-Re- members being in Mr. Padley's quay oil the evening of the 22nd of Ausust 'ast, saw a I'cneh vessel with her tw'flvin"- She appeared to him to have been maliciously seTa-drift from some place; she was drift- ing up the river towards Mr. P's quay.

P. said he had no objection, he did not ask what it contained, nor did he even see the cask, it was dusk Mr. W. Padley called Dun- combe, who lived in a house of Mr. P's, near to the packet warehouse, and who always kept the key Mr. William Padley then left them witness soon after overtook Mr. P., who told witness he was then about* to set off for the Mumbles, and asked witness to lend lmhis stick witness asked Mr. P. to take a glass OfTiii and water with him at the Packet Hotel, before setting off which lie did f Mr. Padley then It ft, and witness saw no more of him for several days. Mr. Bryant Biggs sworn.—Heard Dut'-combe fre- quelltly declare he would be rcvengvd on the whole faiiiiiy orttie Pidley's, in the most bitter terms, for dismis^injj him from their service. Mr. William Davies sworn.—Deposed to his having frequently heard Duiscomhesay he would be revenged on the Padley's, he would make them as poor as witness himself, as he had got them under his thumb. Several other persons were ready to depose to con- versations to the same effec t. Mr. Sylvauus Padley, jun. sworn.—Was in his father s office about the 20th of August list, Captain Morell had a few days pi-eviotisly settled his port charge, which, in with all other vessels en- tering the port, I am appointed by my father to receive on that day, I believe it was on the 2(»th of August, instant, Kosser Williams came into the office and tohl me that a few days previously, Mr. Richard Williams the broker had requested permiss'on to deposit a cask in thc steam-packet sto- c for Capt- Morell, to which he, W. Padley, had consented, but that he, \V. Pad'ey, was not easy, as there was some- thing suspicious about it he said he much wished to ascertain its contents and asked wilness what h had best do witness replied that he had better wait till his father arrived, (being then in London) who would be the best judge of what was necessary to be done witness was not aware that his brother afterwards sampled the cask witness declared that he should be prompted to do the like, as being the safest way under similar circumstances. Oa the arrival ofMr.. Padley, sen, lie was informed by witness and Lis brother, I (among other things) of the circumstance of the cask in question, when Mr. P. sell. said, you have acted very inconsiderately in allowing the cask to be I put into the wareliouse, I hope you have not had any further connexion with it than what you have re- lated, and Mr. P. sen. immediately directed Mr. W. padley to make the case known to Mr. Newman the supervisor of Excise Mr. Newman being from home, my brother informed Mr. W illiams the Excise utticer, who immediately came down, and on his arrival Mr. P. sen. made as full adisclusurc of die ease as he could.

Mr. Sylvanus Padley, jun. began to explain the circumstances which led to this proceeding, in order to shew that it arose out of revenge a.id malice on the part of Duncombe, whom they had taken into their employ when in actual distress. Mr. Todd, the Comptroller, objected to the course he was pursuing, and begged the protection of the witness for the Crown. Mr. Win. Padley entered into a long explanation of the circumstance from beginning to end, and most solemnly declared that he was not aware of the con- tents of the cask when he gave permission to store it he merely did so to oblige Mr. Williams, the broker. Upon the evidence of Duncombe, the magistra(es considered themselves bound to convict Mr. Wm. Padley in the penalty of 100/. being the sum set down by the Act for the offence, but added a stroi- recommendation to the Board for a remission, or mitigation of the penalty. The case against Mr. S. Padley, jun. was not pro- ceeded in, as there was not the slightest ground to connect him. Mr. W. Padley immediately paid the fine, but intends to memorialize the Board ctting forth all tbe circumstances, ° Capt. 31orell has been committed till the fine is paid. The vessel has been seized and awaits the decision of the Commissioners whether she is to be condemned. The Solicitor for the Customs has arrived aud is making further enquiries into the affair. VESTIlV MEETING OF THE PARISH OF MERTHYR. On Thursday last, a Vestry Meeting was held, ac- cording to notice given in our last number, for the purpose of fixing a Rate for the relief of the poor for the ensuing quarter, Anthony Hill, Esq. in the Chair. The Chairman opened the business by reading the notice upon which the meeting was called, and then proceeded to shew the purposes for which an increased Rate was required, by reading the account of the sums to be provided for the present quarter. The total amount of the sums so required was 18801, 4s. 3d. of which it appeared that 250Z. were for items not strictly belonging to this quarter, and that there were outstanding claim?, considered available, to the amount of 220f. in favour of the parish. He con- ceived that a Hate of 5s. (id. in the pound would incet the case. Mr. Oakey moved a resolution fo this effect which was seconded by Mr. David James. Mr. Coffiu considered that by economy a Rate of 5s. in the pound might suffice; but upon being called upon to make out an estimate shewing that result, he declined clQing so. He conceived that the advance in wages would enable them to reduce the rate. Mr. Adney (Churchwarden) replied that the expenditure in relief of persons having employment was very trifling. 10 all Cyfarthfa Works it was not a pound a week. Mr. Coffin withdrew his amendment, and the resolution was put and carried unanimously. Some conversation then took place respecting the new valuation of the parish by Messrs. Bayldon and Fosbrook, to which the interlocutors generally ap- peared to be favourable; and for the full satisfaction of the parish at large on this important point, the re- solution advertised in another part of our paper was adopted. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. On Monday last Thomas David, a poor little boy of eight years old, while standing near the Ba- lance-pit ot the Aberdare Iron Co.slipped oft' the plates and was precipitated, head foremost, a depth of 32 yards. He was taken out quite dead. He was Grandson of Mr. William Thomas David, of Aber- nant-y-groes, a very respectable freeholder of Aber- dare. MERTHYK POLICK.

NEWBRIDGE, GLAMORGANSHIRE.
NEWBRIDGE, GLAMORGANSHIRE. Pont y-ty-Pridd, or Newbridge, over the River Taff, lips twelve miles from Cardiff, ie, a most romantic country the river in summer is extremely low, scarce covering its pebbly bed, but after heavy ruin swells to I a deep irresistible torrent. Thi" bridge, for its ex- traordinary lightness and the width of its span, stands unrivalled not only by any bridge in England, but even in Europe, and perhaps the whole world, exceed ilig the areli of (lie at Venice, by 5j feet, aud that of the centre of Black friars by 40 feet. It is in figure the segment of a circle; its chord measures 141) feet; and the height of the keystone, reckoned from the spiing of the arch, is 34 feet. This bridge is a proof that extraordinary genius will rise superior to every impediment or disadvantage. Both the mason who designed and executed it, and the workman" ho formed the centre, were common country artificers, unpatroiiized by the Great, and neither graduated in any University, nor Fellows of any Academy and so far were they from having visited Italy, in order to avail themselves of the knowledge af the ancients, or to view the works of the moderns, that they probably were hardly ever out of their native country w n', perhaps, strangers to the names of Vitruvius and Palladio, aud never heard of the Rialto. In compensation, however, for these de- ficiencies, they possessed good sense, which, as Pope observes, Although no science is fairly worth the seven." The name of the masoll is William Edward; he con- tracted with the hundreds of Caerphilly and Miskin for a certain sun. of money, to build them a bridge which should stand at least six years and accordingly buiit one of three arches, but a flood happening (no uncommon event in this mountainous country) it was carried away by the impetuosity of the river. He next conceived the design of constructing his bridge of one single arch, and accordingly completed it but here he was again foiled for the pressure of the abutment not being ia cquilibrio with that of the crown of the arch, squeezed it out at the top. Not disheartened at this, and seeing wherein lie had failed, he set about contriving a remedy, and hit upon tiie present method, by making thiee cylindrical apertures through each side, thereby not only considerably les- selling the weight of lateral pressure, but adding greatly to the picturesque forrit and elegance of the bridge, which bids fair to transmit his fame to future generations. The name of the artist who formed the centre, is Thomas Williallls, a millwright. The ap- pearance of this beautiful bridge is much hurt by the rude workmanship of its parupqt; but lvheil it is considered how great a loss the constructor suffered by the failnre of his two other bridge?, it is not to be by the failnre of his two other bridge, it is not to be wondered at, that he should finish every pan in as cheap a manner as possible. Beneath this arch a number of stalactites hang like icicles, perhaps formed by the mortar which the vast pressure has caused to exude through the iuterstices of the stones. As the ramp or ascent of this bridge is very steep, pieces of wood are laid across the way to give a firm foot-hold to the horses who pass over it. A plate is engraved in the Antiquarian Repcl"tory." from which the fbre- going account has been taken,) from a drawing by Major Dayman Hooke, Anno. 1774.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.—Ou Sunday morning LAST, some miscreant, actuated by the most diabolical feel- ing, stabbed a valuable cart-horse, the property of W. Rogeis, of tliii town, ill the throat; and it was only from the timely discovery of the poor animal's situa tion, that the effusion of blood was stopped, as in probability, it would otherwise have bled to death. The fiendish person who could be guilty of so cruel an act as this, would not hesitate to commit a similar crime upon his fellow-creature. At present it is not known who committed the offence, but hopes are entertained of a discovery being made.-Ibid IIYDI,OrllOBT,i.-A short time ago, a labourer of the name of Edward Williams was bitten on the hand by a dog near Penllygare Wood, in attempting to kill it, knowing to be iu a rabid state at the time.

We cannot but congratulate the County as to the result of the Session. The Magistrates, it is evi- dent, are determined to economise the County ex- penditure to the utmost of their power.

ION PSALMODY,
ON PSALMODY, On the duty and advantages of the congregation taking part in the public worship by reading or repeating with an audible voice such portions of the scrrice as are assigned to them by our Rubric. Our attention has been drawn to this subject by the perusal of an admirable sermon preached at the re- opening of Abergavenny Church in 1829, by our pre- sent zealous and excellent Bishop. After treating of the origin and value of our Liturgy, he thus pro- ceeds:- Now to the use of this form of public Prayer, together with the rites and ordinances prescrilicd therein, does the, Apostolic precept of my Text (1. Cor. T, 10) principally apply. Let there be no causeless divisions and innova- tions, no presumptuous conceit in a man's own opinion, opposed to the authorized regulations of the Church. Uni- formity itself when proceeding from a right principle, from a love of decency and peace and order, and from a respect for those who have the rule over you in spiritual matters, is a lovely and praise-worthy thing, and is doubtless pleasing in the sight of God. Still more is it pleasing to Hiin when the heart is, ixiove(I by what the lips utter, and feels its devotions heightened by sympathy with those around us; when all with one mind nnd one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Cl- rist. And truly there is not a more affccting, I had almost said a more sublime spectacle, certainly not one which we have reason to think the angels in heaven contemplate with more joy, than that of a congregation united in heart and voice, and guided by those whom the authority of Christ their Saviour has set over them, offering the tribute of praise and thanh- giving to the Father of mercies, for those blessings which, through the medivm of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, have been bestowed upon them. It is one of the great improvements of the Reformed Liturgy over tlie practice of the Romish Church, that the IV If 01,11, CONGREGATION are thus invited io take part in the service, instead of merely gazing up on the ministration of the Priests, or listening to the prayers and exhortations offered by them. This participation is of two kinds; one, in the act of devotional SÍlI.r¡Ï7I/1. the other, in uttering alond some appointed portio-ns of the service, either jointly with the Minister, or in due connexion with his wOlds. Upon both these subjects I am desirous of using this opportunity briefly to address you, and I trust you will receive what I say as coming from one who is not seeking to magnify his office, but to impress upon your minds the sentiments which have been long familiar to his own, and which he is persuaded will tend, if generally adopted, to the comfort and the well-being of the Church. Few things are more interesting and affccting in pub- lic worship than pure psalmody, or can boast a higher sanction from the practice of the apostles, and even of our Lord himself; and those of the congregation who cultivate the talent they may possess, for the purpose of leading and encouraging the rest in this interesting duty, are justly en- titled to our commendation and our thanks—yet there are few things whieh stand more in need of discreet and snhcr regulation than Church psalmody- Daily experience proves that it is liable to abuse, to excess, and to impro- prieties of various kinds. In some instances it has been carried so far as to absorb a great portion of the time re- quired for other duties in others it has imperceptibly become rather a display of skill, or more frequently an attempt at that display, instead of the sober and devout service of^i brotherhood met together in Christ's name for their common edification. The danger of these irregularities points out the rea- sonableness, or rather, I might say, the necessity of vesting a discretionary contvoul in the Ministers of the Church and I cannot but think that every considerate and candid person will cheerfully conform to what is thus directed by proper authority, and in all cases where the humours and inclinations of men disagree, will support by his example and influence that authority which is instituted for the peace and common benefit of the whole. To the Ministers themselves, in the exercise of this discretion, I would strongly recommend them, as a general guiding principle, to prefer that mode of Psalmody which, being plain, grave and solemn, is likely to induce the largest portion of the congregation to juin in performing it- But it is not by the introduction of Psalmody only, as I before observed, that the framers of our Liturgy pro- vided for the union of the whole congregation in social worship. You perceive, by the structure and order of the prescribed service, that a part is studiously allotted to the people, as well as to the Minister; a part which those whu have a just regard for spiritual ordinances must admit to be their duty to perform, although the omission may be coun tenanced by numbers equally silent; or when numbers do join, yet may in the multitude escape observation And here, my brethren, permit me to speak freely with you upon a point, which is really of greater importance than is commonly imagined. This is one of the grand characteristics which distinguishes our services from the corrupt ritual of the Church of Rome and I grieve to see it either coldly and carelessly performed, or even, as is too often the case, absolutely and systematically neglccted. Cut is it not doing despite unto that Church, of which you are incorporated members, thus wilfully to refuse com- pliancc with one of her established ordinances ? Is it not inconsistent with the very idea of social worship (one great benefit of which is to kindle a common feeling, and to animate a torpid spirit) to remain siløut yourselves, when it belongs to you to utter with your lips the beautiful Lan- guage of a Liturgy, the purest perhaps and the most com- plete that Wiis ever in use with any community of Chris- tians. Surely if the heart is ready, the tongue will not re- fuse its office. Does not nature itself dictate this office as all evidence of internal approbation and consent to what is then doing ? And if we withhold that token of fellowship and good will, must it not at least impress those around us with an idea of our inditTerenre, and must it not tend to damp and to deaden that feeling of devotion in others which we ought rather to assist and to encourage by our own example ? <- In the act of Psalmody, it is true, many a willing heart may feel an inability to participate, and a fear lest the ser- vice should be hindered and impaired rather than aided by their means. But it is not so, it never can be so, with the responses appointed for the congregation. In this solemn service all voices may, and you will bear with me, lrUf' wh?n 1 ought to join. It is a holy Chorus, w hich doubtless ascends to th« throne of graco" not less acceptably or less effectually than the more melodioos strains of music, and which cannot but be pleasing before God, when it proceeds from his creatures assembled in the ot their Redeemer, and conforming to the rule of that Church which he founded and puriiied for himself, and in which He is, and ever will be, invisibly present unto the end of the world. j I have dwelt longer, perhaps, on this point than its impoitancc may, in your estimation, seem to warrant. But a true Churchman, or what is nearly the same thing, a sincere, devout, and humble Christian, will never deem any tIling slight or unimportant which belongs to the pub- lic servicc of God and if he knows that it is not Ollly required of him by competent authority, but that his bro- ther may be edified, and comforted, and encouraged in well-doing by his example, he will feel it to be a social as well as a sacred duty not to be found wanting
--ABBEY OP IIA R G A IL
ABBEY OP IIA R G A IL (From the Ancient History of Greal Britain.) Llyr, Leyr or Lear, the son of Bladud, succeeded him, who reigned 00 years. He builded a city upon the river Soram, wherein he built a temple to Janus, and there erected a llamin, and called the city of his name, Caerlyr (which is Leicester). He had three daughters whose names were Goro- niha, Ilagan, and Cordeila, (here follows the account of the iugratitude of the two elder daughters.)— Cordeila, married to Aganippus, king of Gaul, succeeded her father in the kingdom of Britain. The sons of her two sisters, viz. Margan son of Mag- lawn duke of Albany, and Chuneda son of Henwyn, I Duke of Cornwall, levied war against her and took her prisoner, where, through sorrow for the loss of her husband, her father and her kingdom, she killed herself and was buried at Leicester. Whereupon Margan and Chuncda divided the kingdom betwixt them, by which division Margan had all the North beyond Humber and Chuneda had the rest But two years after, Margan repented him of this par- tition, for that Chuneda had the better, who was son of the younger sister and therefore he levied war against Chuueda and entered his country with fire and sword, with whom Chuneda, with a great army, encountered, and forced him to fly into Wales, where they fought a bloody battle, In which Margan was slain, and of him the country took the name, and specially the abbey of Margan, And touching the conquest of Morganwg-, by Robert Fitzhamon, 1 refer you to Powel, whose opinion was that the country took the name of Morgan Mwynfawr, great grandfather to Jestin ap Gwrgan, who brought Robert Fitzhamon into that country. Whereof I allow not. For it bore that name in the time of Merehiawn Gul king thereof, above one thousand years past, as it appeareth by a charter by him made to St. Jltutus, touching the privilege of his school in that country. By our antiquities it appeareth that eighteen battles were fought in the quarrel of the titles of Leyr's three daughters."
