To the Editor of the North fFates. Gfazette, S rR,A printed Paper has for some time been in circulation, within the Principality, and has lately been inserted in your Gazette, endeavour- ing to point, out. the discouragement the native may experience, to devoting themselves to the Church, from the introduction of strangers into the Ministry. Two replies have been made to it, one dictated by the ardent feelings of friendship, from tbe conviction, that the character of a wor- thy Prelate, lately deceased, had been unjustly aspersed the other, founded upon an expression which could never have been designed Co have heen applied strictly in the sense which has been I affixed to it. It is by no means surprising, if all these three publications-, and more particularly the first, may, by an indifferent person, be con- sidered to be expressed in terms rather stronger than the discussion of so important and grave a subject may require. The anxiety of the prin- cipal Superintendant of a great seminary of lite- rature, when he conceives the interest, of his pu- pils to be at issue, is highly laudable, so is the warmth of friendship, hen called forth in the defence of departed merit and it canuot excite astonishment that a Saxon, should have some share of national feeling, as well as the inhabi- tants of these mountains. But on a subject on which the literary morals and religious instruc- tion of the country in a great degree depends, these emotions should, as far as possible, be sup pressed. And in their place, cairn enquiry and dispassionate reasoning should he substituted.— The question seems to he solely this- What con- sequences arelikely to arise from the introduc- tion of a few English Clergy, who have previ- ously made themselves proficients in the Welsh language This must be the single point of con- sideration, because it can never be seriously be- lieved, that the patrons of preferment will pre- sent Gentlemen to the cure of souls, who arc en- tirely ignorant of the language of the parishion- ers, or that Bishops would institute such, unless compelled to do so by law. There has in this part of the kingdom of late years been a consider- able deficiency of Ministers to perform the di- vine service. And it (ioc,, appear that the Bi- shops have had no other alternative than to or- dain persons of more humble acquirements, or to hold out inducements to Englishmen of fair moral character, and considerable literary attainments, to qualify themselves for Welsh curacies. Few have hitherto been induced to make the attempt, but surely those that have done so, have a well- grounded expectatiou of farther advancement.— There can be little doubt, that in a literary, mo- ral, and religious point of view, the mixture of Weish and English Clergy must have a tendency to ameliorate both. What has the insulated En- glishman to rely upon but his zeal, piety, moral worth. indefatigable industry, the exertions of the mental powers, with which lie may be bles- sed, and the diffusion of that knowledge, which he must necessarily have acquired, by being born and educated in a country more highly cultivated. A few such scattereû over it diocese, must have a tendency to stimulate that ardour in the Welsh minrl, which is so cminentlytheirown, and which often leads to-the most praise-worthy exertions. I11 other parts of the united kingdom (he miuistersarencarly natiiles of that part of the country in wbkth they exercise their profes- sion, but most frequently are necessitated to sa- crifice their early connections, in order to obtain a lTIoderatecompetency. And will not the Welsh when they see a worthy and enlightened stranger surmount the difficulties he has to encounter, make himself conversant in their language, cus- toms, and habits, receive him with complacency, value him for his good qualities* treat him as every Welshman is treated in England, allow him a fair field to display his powers, and to raise himself by his exertions. In no conn- try have meritorious Englishmen met with greater encouragement than in Wale,. Why at- tempt to exclude them from the ministry? Let them, if theyare so disposed, qualify themselves, and then place them upon the same footiug in respect to Wales, as tUey enjoy in every other part of the united kingdom, where the Church of England is by law established. May 1 add a few observations on the Welsh Clergyman's let- ter. He coutends that in alt the Welsh dioceses (except St, David's) that incumbents have been illslírnítd, who are un¿JC£¡uaiuled with theO ver- naculer idiom, allil in a note expresses iiiiiiself thus *I, I wi,.Ii tiot. to (lisi.urb any Clergyuia,,i in the possession of a however ignorant of onr language he mvy be." It is not, I trust. inconsistent with the meekness and mildness of Christianity, to express a hope, that our Bishops may in future send iuto their vineyard such la- bourers only as shall be able to earn their wa- ges." This is a most pious hope, in which every true christian must join. But can the Welch cler- gyman point out a single instance ofa person being in possession of parochial preferments iu the Dio- çee of Bangor, who is unacquainted with the ver- naculer idiom, unable to earn his wagesasalaborer in the Vineyard? Uoe he llJean to contend that Englishmen areamicted with some mental defect and some deficiency in the organs of speech, which prevents the acquisition of an accurate knowledge of the Welch tongue, and the power of articulating the colloquial language of \A ales ? Competent judges have acknowledged that they have attained both, in all equal degree with the- majority of the natives. The Welsh Clergyman might have been more guarded in his admonitory hope addressed to the Bishops, when there is good reason to beiieve, iiiaMnt-y cannot refuse to institute a Clerk presented to them, (however desirous they may be to do so), solely upon the ground of his not being sufficiently conversant in the Welsh language, to administer personal coui- fort to the sick, as ,the 67th Canollfloes not en- join this as a personal duty, but directs that it shall be done by the minister or curate. The general tenor of the Welsh Clergyman's argu- ments, are irrelevant to the legal opinion which he has brought forward to support tliemi, which it seems was obtained ten years ago, and the legal correctness of that opinion, which is very guard- edly expressed, may be reasonably doubted, if extended any further than the particular case to which it is applied, and it does not appear that any proceedings were grounded upon it. But every well wisher to the Church establishment, I must lament, that with a view, as it appears, to instruct the Bishops in their duty, circular letters have been distributed in their dioceses, by a per- son, who by his signature, acknowledges himself to he under their jurisdiction. Is this the re- spect due from a Clergyman to his Diocesan? Is not the Welsh Clergyman, who circulates such letters, responsible to his own conscience, for all the irritation he may occasion in the minds of a people so proud of their origin, and so tenacious "ç rhpir rhrbts ? Is this a subiect to be treated and F- On Tuesday, a house 011 Taiwru Common, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, occupied by John Baxter, a labourer, was burnt down, to- John Baxter, a labourer, was burnt down, to- gether with the barn and outbuildings, and a quantity of grain belonging to the occupier of tiie lands. Very little of the poor man's furni- ture was saved, there being no person in the house when the fire broke ont except several small children, owing to whose carelessness it is supposed the accident happened. The buildings being chiefly of timber and covered with thatch, the progress of the ilames was very rapid. The frequency of destructive fires, among buildings of that description, ought to suggest forcibly to every one the propriety of constructing the exte- rior walls of houses either of brick or stone, and of entirely omitting the use of thatch. It i wor- thy of remark, that at Kerry (where a dreadful fire happened a few weeks ago), there is now standing, in the midst of the ruins, a small stone house, covered with slates, which escaped that conflagration, while the adjoining buildings 011 each side, which were of timber and thatched, are utterly consumed.

To the Editor of the ;I"oi,lh lFales Gazelle. SIR, IT is generally acknowledged that we live in a land of liberty, and consequently that alt honors, emoluments, and preferments1 in Church and State, are open to all classes of his Majesty's subjects in both the united kingdoms. At the same time, it no doubt intimately Concerns those who have the disposal of such emoluments, to look well that the persons selected by them to fill those honoiable stations, be in every respect properly qualified for the discharge of their reo spective duties. It appeal's to me to he a self- evident proposition (as a Saxon justly observes) that church preferments within the principality, are 110 more the birthright of Welshmen, than those in England exclusively of Englishmen.— For if a Saxon, by long residence in the country, tieqnent intercourse with (he inhabitants, and close application, should not ouly he able to rend with propriety, but have also acquired the collo- quial part of that ancient but difficult language, why, 1 may ask, has he not, by a parity of rea- soning, as great a t'ight when thus qualified, to enjoy prcferrneat in Wales ? The mere plea (or merit, if it be any) of having been born in Wales, independent of any other consideration, canuot surely be alleseda., a sufficient recommendation for preferment within the principality. The qualifications which a Bishop ought to require in a Clergyman, next to a competent knowledge of the language, are talnts, learning, zeal, and moral conduct, and without these, no Welshman ought to be preferred. Have not many Englishmen suc- ccssfully studied the Welsh language, so as to have acquired an intimate and correct knowledge of it need I mention Dr. Watlon the learned translator of-Howel Dda's Laws, in the last, and Sharon Turner in the present centurv ? On the other hand, it is well known that many Welsh Clergymen are but very imperfectly acquainted with 'heir native language, and that several of the aoove description wllp could neither rcad nor j speak it, so as- to be intelligible, have «mioyed- and do stilt hold, preferments in the church'; and a latedigniiary of one of our Cathedrals, who held a valuable crown living.? the 1 -siar/.i cf An- 1 glesey, was so completely ignorant of the WeUh language, that he used frequently to commit the most glaring and ridiculous blunders "both ir, reading andsspeaking and as an instance of this, l shall mention a mistake he committed in en- deavouring to hold a conversation with some of his parishioners; when seeing the sky obscured with clouds, he observed, that he was of oniniou it would soon, pour down coals upon their heads, (bwrw glo, instead of bwrw <vi,aw). A wag, who was present, answered, I wish, Sir, vour conjecture may prove correct, foi that, descrip- tion 01 fuel is a scarce article in this neighbour- hood. lany other instances of gross ignorance of the language amongst my brother^ Clergy, tiligilt, I am sorry to say, be easily adduced.-— How few are there amongst them who either compose, translate, or even transcribe their owu discourses and when they do, cannot write many lilies, in orthogra- phy have we not kurs^racing, sporting, libtrtine, in»keepinS, pugilistic, wina-hihing, sottish ignora- muses among the number of our native Clergy, and some of these have had interest sufficient to obtain preleruients and one of these shservcri soon after he was inducted, that his living was scarcely sufficient to support highounùs. These are heavy charges, some one will observe, but tney may easily be proved to be stubborn facts. May I be permitted to ask a Welsh Clergyman, whether a dissipated young man of good family, hut completely ignorant of the Welsh language, and but very imperfectly acquainted with either Oueek or Latin, wan not admitted, some years ago, a scholar and afferwards a Fcllowof a cer- tain College, connected with the principality, to the exclusion of a Oluch more learned and meri- torious young man and is not family intere-i still much more attended to on similar circum- stances, than eithertaieiits, or merit if my information is correct, a IVtl-h Clergyman is perfectly-well qualified to answer the above questions, for of these things he may justly say— Quorum Pars magna t'ui. If strangers will be at the pains to acquire our language, may we not just lyhai I the accession of learning, .talents, zeal, merit and moral conduct from Lugland, Scotland, Ireland, or any other quarter. A little emulatiol1 and competition are generally attclldedwith good consequences.— Were the Welsh Clergy perfectly secure of mo- nopolizing all the preferments in tbe-principa- lity, they might soon be induced to sleep upon the Mute'1 tower in ease, indolence, and security.— 1 he following circumstances may be mentioned to the honour of the Saxons that two young ° l'lat nation officiated for some time in the Welsh language at a church in the county of Carnarvon, to the entire satisfaction of a crowded audience, and which they contributed still fur- ther to increase, by a strict and conscientious discharge of their duty and their exemplary moral conduct the truth and correctness of the above statement niay easily be ascertained by a reference to the inhabitants, many of whom are ready to come forward and declare tliat the so- lemn and correct manner, in which the service was performed by these young men would have done honour to any Welsh Clergyman. The writer is desirous also of paying the same tribute of approbation and applause to the present j > who by a strict and and hi" -> .¡¡: There is a highly respectable family in Exe- ter, of eleven brothers, of.whom teii exceed six feet each in height; and the eleventh, who is now but 15 years of age, bids fair to grow beyond that height also. About 4000 casks of Welsli butter were imported into Bristol last week. Thedeiriaud for the country being considerable, it main- tains the price of 12d. per lb. The sloop Blessing, Lloyd. master, trading from Tenby to Bristol, foundered on Wednes- day evening, off Sundersfool, in a gale of wind and we regret to state, that both the owner, Mr. Lloyd, and the master lost their lives. Several other persons were Oil board, but fortunately escaped the sad fale of their employers. On Tuesday evening last, the driver of the mail from Swansea to Bristol, who was about to (itlit liii tile ously that lie upset the coach near Morriston one passenger (a lady) was very severely hurt the others escaped with trilling injury, but the poor guard had his shoulder dislocated, nd was compelled to return to Swansea.— During the confusion occasioned by the :r ii) overturning, the Cambrian light post coach cattle til), the coacjnnatt and passengers which gave their assistance to replatethe mail in a situation io pursue, its journey but while fhus engaged, the Cambrian h'ovses suddenly started oil" at full speed, without ahy person in or 011 the coach, and passing every gate, wind- ing., and turning, arrived opposite the Mack- worth Arms inn, where they slept as usual, in perfect safety. .4 Smart (hase.h Dublin paper bf-Thurs- day se'nnigbt, says— u >y, Lavender,one of the Officers of Be,w sheet, arrived at the Head Police Office, having in custody Richard Birking, who had been advertised in all the public papers, for embezxling a letter out of the post-oiffce of Stone, in Staffordshire, about live weeks ago. Lavender was sent from Lou- don to apprehend Birking, but on reaching Stone, he learned that had left that place three weeks. He then traced him to NanlwichandCltester. back and forward twice, at length to Holyhead, where he embarked on board the Countess of Liverpool packet, and arrived in Dublin on the 16th of Seplem. her. Lavender did not arrive in Dublin until IheSOlh, and until Monday evening, notwilh- standing every assistance was afforded by the Police of this city, it could only be ascertained that Birking had spcntsome time at the Pigeoa-house 0:1 the day-he landed, oil which day he was traced till about two o'clock. On the 16th of September, Birking had* taken a chaise and went to Naas, where Lavender ar- rived on Tuesday evening', and found Birking in a poor lodging, next the head Inn, in that town. IS

To the Editor of the A'orlk Walss Gazette. SIR, A correspondent of votirq, who signs him- self A SAXON, has most illiberally abused the Welsh Clergy I had not heeded the sarcasm, nor the dissention, but being attached 10 the established religion, and having a regard for the honour of ui\- native country and jangu- i age as a lay man I feel myseil interested "in j tile aibir. I shall be short wilii my opinion, j as the whole of the Saxon's re-.uarlis may be refilled without trouble, and evidently it is too contemptible to Lu much noticed. The Welsh Clergy arc educated at Oxford and Cambridge, and those seminaries of learn- ing, 1 couciude have qualified them to serve in a land, where merit and not loii-tll, is the best claim to reward and distinction. I ctt" hardly suppose they were permitted to take Holy Orders'without being perfectly instructed in the Greek, Latin, and English languages, attended with a t:oníd(.ra[¡le eXjiČ(t:, and that chielfy laid out in the centre of Enghiiuu Tiie English Ciergj (or most of tiiens) are. also educated iu those Universities but the Welsh language is not I here laughl, nor under- stood, except by those students, who are natives of n bod, they "deserled" for a lime, to receive instruction and knowledge, to fit them for their future avocations, either in or Wales. y our correspondent has attempted at being a uumerist of tilose removed, but he was not so scrupulous as to mention those Knglish Divines, who have from time to time deserted their" Birthrights to receive Episcopal He nefices in a deserted land." The subject ought to he a national one, and not interest ing to the Clergy only. Let the English Clergy make themselves adequate to serve in the Welsh churches, in the language universally understood (for on the point in question my ecclesiastical countrymen have evidently Ihe advantage) and let the Saxon aspirers for Welsh benefices endeavour to attain-perfec- tion in the ancient British langnae, which when accomplished, L have-so good an opinion of the candour of my countrymen, that they would particularly esteem and be proud of them. 1 hope your correspondent did hot fancy that he was making his remarks when some of I he -Itotiiati Pontiffs controulcd the religious despotism «f the kingdom, nor am I convinced that he is fnjly acquainted with the Arll,cles of Religion which were submitted to the correction and amendment of the most learned Divides, and finaHy ratilldhy Parlia- ment at the restoration of Charles 11. in 1662 I wish he would peruse the twenty-fourth In particular, and if not satisfied consult the opinion of that able and liberal churchman, Dr. Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Sarum, in his exposition on the subject, for his edification. It was aqempled once in a parish in Anglesey, to impose on them an English pastor, but the parishioners with proper spirit and patriotism, opposed the appointment, and 1 believe the matlei was dropped. This rampart to our religious establishment, ought to be vigilanfly guarded, for if once brokeu through, and the vernacular tongue disused, adieu to the eslab. lished Church throughout the Principality,—■ For some years, formerly, the members of ihe religious estahlishment discouraged the culti- vation of the Welsh language, the consequence ultimately has been, an alienation from the regular worship, whilst the different sectaries, exerted their utmost efforts for the cultivation of Welsh reading, were indefatigable in form- ing schools, and printing cheap publications for disseminating their different tenets, and it 11 he visible to every one, how they "='' "< :.I x Government now intend to propose a confinu- ation of the Property tax at 7| per cent, am! in consequence io make ft considerable reduc- tion in the Assessed iaxes.
