Oir the 5th ilistittie Schooner Experiment, of Kirkcudbright, (74 tons,) W. Wilson, Master, front Cork for Glasgow, put into the Port of Pwllheli in distress, and is supposed itiusMis- charge; her cargo consists of Wheats Oats, Bar." ley, and Butter. It is much feared a vessel has been lost during the late gales in Carnarvon Bay, as several pieces of wreck were picked up on Thursday last in the "river Menai, and a large water cask with the" mark Tamar" upon it, a sack of flour marked Wili-na .r Mills," and the ltters ION under- neath, 5 oars with the. above piark lamar, and three Hats, likewise the starboard Sid^ot a long bbat's stern^ marked on the inside ulsr, and on the outside PLYM. During the heavy gale from the N.

W. coast of Anglesey. Every one who witnessed the scene expected "that each succeeding wave would swallow her up. As soon as she got op- posite the entrance of Oemlyn Bay, she made what sail she could, and though a ger to the coast, worked her way in in the finest style, and dropped her anchor about a quarter of a mile from the shore. She then made a signal of distress and the gestures of those on board showed that they were fully sensible of the im- minent danger they were still in from the moun- tains of sea that were all around her. Upon this .six Hien from the shore launched a herring boat in the most gallant style, through a most terrific surf, and by means of all the ropes that Scanty neighbourhood could supply, they dropped out to the vessel which titey reached with the greatest, difficulty and danger. When they had taken out y the crew, coiisi.Iiiiio of'threeliands, the scene be- came intensely interesting/. The storm had .at this moment reached its utmost fury, accompanied with heavy showers of haily and the greatest skill and caution became necessary, as well as the greatest exertions in the use of the oars and >warp, which consisted of a great number of pieces had any one knot slipped or-piece given way, the boat must have been immediately.carried out and a watery grave have been the fate of its bold crew, in the sight of their wives, mothers, Chil- Ix dren, and friends, who crowded to the shore. The vessel proved to be the Bbnjamin, of Arldow, I with Oysters, for Liverpool. The very act of landing in such a surf was attended-with bo small danger, but with the assistance of those on the beach, who fearlessly irushed into the water to their rescue, the whole were safely brought on shoi-e.We are happy inhav-irig,it in our power to record the J}lJ.nlS of the gallant fellows who nobly risked their own lives for the preserva- tion of those, of others on the above interesting occttaioh,and liope that the gentlemen of the nclgh- bourhood will not faii to reward such pra.isc- Worthy conduct :Wm.

The effects of the above storm •were severely felt at Holyhead.—The Light-house, situate on the end of the new pier, was at one tilllethougnt in considerable danger—several of the large were blocks of stone, forming the pier, were partially removed; and at the embankment, across" the Stanley Sands, the sea beat completely over, and it suffered some damage—indeed, we think it can never be considered secure, so long as ilie sea is suffered to approach it by theJFour Mile Bridge. In another patt of^ur impression, we have ex- pressed a hope that immediate steps may be taken, p to second the petitions from -Dublin, respecting the Chester line of Road at the same time:it would be as well to make enquiry as to the necessity, if any existed, for increasing the tolls, fiom Con- way to Cariiarvon—and also to;adopt |ome plan; to irtdiice the Comitiissioners* eijther t6 remo.fe the present tulrnpike, near this.

The dreadful ravages of scurvy, which formerly unmanned ships and even fleets, are now unknown. The disease rarely shows itself; and, when it does, it, is speedily removed by the simple remedy of lefnon-.juice. To show the extent to which the improvement in the health of British seamen has been carried, Sir Gilbert Blane states, as an in- ference from data which he has published, that if the navy had been equally sick in 1S13, as it was in 17^9, and if there had been no improve- ment in the treatment of the sick, the whole number of deaths from disease in the former year wouldhaye exceeded the actual number by 6,671'. ¡ Under such an arinual waste of life, the national stock of, marinei's must; have been exhausted in the course of the long war from which this coun- try emerged iri 1815," The following extract from the opinion of Dr. :J. B. Bavis, on the excessive depletion of infants by bleeding, will be read with, interest :—4' I have no hesitation in stating th^t the practice of bleeding in the arm, but especially by means: of cupping glasses and leeches applied to the i heatf and other parts of the body, in many diseases incident to children, particularly when the attack is under five years of age, is too often unhap- pily carried to a greater extent than is either safe or necessary. I have frequently known death to ensue from too copious an abstraction of bloodby leeches, and I have ever noticed with fear and con- cern the application of IS or 20 leeches to children under JO or 12 months old, in the short space of four or five days. This I am aware is emphati- cally termed decided practice, but I will.venture to add, that it is decidedly bad. It must be ob- viotts- that the remedy is not in proportion to the individual's strength and powers of life. Even in those dangerous diseases, inflammation of the brain and lungs, I doubt whether bleeding by various means is not too freely employed. 1 would not have it understood that I am averse to the ab- straction of blood; on the contrary, I am tha most strenuous adyocate for it. It is the indiscriminate and excessive use of an invaluable remedy, that is justly to be feared and ought to be opposed.— I have neyer met with one case in 30,00d instan- ces of acute disease, in which I ■ would abstract from an infant under 12 months of age, 14 or 16 ounces of blood. In the ordinary way the ap- plication of 20 leeches, will be frequently fol- lowed by the loss of more than that quantity. It was with peculiar pleasure we perused the
INTERCOURSE WITH ENGLAND:
following in the Dublin Evening Express.—We trust Meetings will be held, petitions framed, and every, other means exerted to promote so desirable,,and, in these parts of the principality, so interesting, and advantageous an undertaking, as the improvement of the road between this and Conway, and between Conway and Chester. INTERCOURSE WITH ENGLAND: The following Petition has been sent for pre- • sentation to Parliament.. It has been signed by upwards of one hundred of the most respec- table Merchauts in Dublin. We hope Chester, Liverpool, and North Wales will co-operate in that part which relates to the improvement of .the Poad, a line of great importance to the$e; towns, especially in the winter sea- son — To the Kiiiights, Citizens, and Burgesses iit Parlia- ment assembled. The Petition of the undersigned Merchants and Traders of the City of Dublin, SlIEWETII, That by a Report of a Committee of your Ho- nourable House, in the year 1822, the inefficiency of the Post-office Steam Packets between Dublin and Holyhead was fully pointed out, as well as the expediency of having them vessels with 100. horse power, in order to cope against the bois.. terous sea in the channel during the winter sea- son, and which report was founded on the testi- mony of the most experienced Engineers in Great •Britain. Your Petitioners beg to state that the said Committee represented the propriety of a modification of the charges to passengers, more especially to those-in the middle walks of life.- Y"6ur Petitioners are sorry to state, that the re- <&mmendations contained in the said report have never" "bfe'eii carried into; effect; on the .contrary, the Post-office Steam-packets are much longer in performing their passages than formeily, and are frequently passed at sea by the steam-packets of private Companies trading between this port, Liverpool, and Bristol. Your Petitioners beg to mention, that under the ordinary circumstances of weather, the Eng- lish Mails arrive in Dublin just at the close of the mercantile hours of business whereas if, by- the a:gency of vessels with more powerful '■engines, it could be brought into Dublin one hour or two sooner, it would greatly benefit the commercial interests of this City. Since the in- ,I troduction also of these vessels, many persons who were absentees have since been induced to iyisit-Ireland j, and your Petitioners itre conscious that nothing will cause absentees occasionally to visit this country, with, their families, at least during part of the year, so much as by abridging "as far as is practicable, the time taken in per- forming the sea voyage. Your Petitioners beg to" call the attention of your Honorable House to1 that part of the road between Holyhead and Chester, in the neighbourhood of Conway, as be- ing, according to the evidence of the Surveyor. of Mail Coaches, the most dangerous and hilly, Mail Coach road in Great Britain, and quite be- come useless as a line of communication between Ireland and the great manufacturing districts -in the north of England. Your Petitioners hope, now that the Shrewsbury line is nearly finished, that your Honorable House will take measures to improve the most dangerous part of the Ches- ter line; and your Petitioners'are willing that the present local tax for building Conway bridge, shall continue until any further sums advanced for the improvement of the road shall be liqui- dated. Your Petitioners earnestly hope, that your Honorable House will take the premises into yoitr con ideration, feeling convinced that nothing wil| .tend so much to the improvement of Ireland, as in doing away,'as far as possible; tlHP obstructions, natural or artificial, which impede the intercourse between the two countries,
WELSH LITERARY SOCIETY MEETING…
WELSH LITERARY SOCIETY MEET- ING AT RUTHIN, Tuesday, 2d March, 1821. --e-- tF&6,M A CORRESPONDENT.] This meeting may be considered as forming au in,tlie literary history of Wales the foun- dation is laid—the torch is already lit-the na- tional enthusiasm of the Principality is roused into a state of active and emulative ardour, which nothing can repress and there can be no doubt, that every succeeding year will shed fresh lustre, and give additional eclat to the spirit of these in- stitutions. At the new Hall. which is a spacious and elegant building, atfording- great accommo- dation, nothing could exceed the interesting and animated splendour of the scene; more'than 300 individuals assembled together, composed princi- pally of the most respectable families of the Vale, and immediate neighbourhood, forming a picture of native beaufy and of native ardour—of native genius and enlightened zeal—of ancient and pe- culiar customs, and of modern taste, which no spectator could witness without feelings of intel- lectual delight—which language must be altoge- ther insufficientto pourtray. 1 he meeting was peculiarly happy in the selec- tion of a chairman, (the High Sheriff of the coun- ty) who seemed an able, as well as a most en- lightened representative of his country. Ke acquitted himself, in every case, with much abi- lity, and-whether in returning thanks for compli- ments justly conferred on himself, or in awarding judgment, when presenting- prizes to others, he uniformly displayed an easy and elegant How of language, equally manifesting a sound, intelli- gent mind, a benevolent heart, and an anxious desire to, promote the objects of the meeting. The; president of the Society, John Roberts, Esq. and his coadjutor, Robert H. Jones, Esq. displayed ihe most laudable and anxious desire to fulfil every department of their duty, and the latter gentleman, in particular, appeared to dis- charge an arduous and extensive share of the bu- siness of the day with the most effective ability, and to the satisfaction of every body present nor was the very laborious duty undertaken by the judges, performed with less of that ardent, enlightened, and active zeal, which was equally conspicuous in every branch of the arrangements; in wading through such a mass of miscellaneous, and, in many cases, as it was stated by one of them, almost illegible matter, they are entitled to no common praise, for having acquitted them- I selves with so much patience and ability. The opening scene, accompanied by a burst of music, of the most sublime and inspiring charac- ter, produced a powerful effect, which was amply sustained by a succession of deeply interesting scenes of native genius and talent to the conclu- tlie-se, the beauty of the medals was prominently conspicuous they appeared specially provided for the purpose, were each of considerable value, and were executed with the highest degree of modern taste and elegance they will be regarded with no common share of triumph and exultation—will be handed down from father to son, as so many trophies, and so .many incitements also to future emulation, and thus operate as powerful incentives to all the purposes of these institutions. The orations in the Welsh language appeared to be able speci- C, mens of native talent they were delivered with great fluency, and if assisted by a few of those artificial ornaments, which grace of manner may be said to convey, would probably have been compositions in eloquence of great merit; as it Was, they were highly interesting, even to those who were totally unacquainted with the language, 9 r, from the youth of the parties, and the natural ease which accompanied their delivery. V musi«al contest upon the native, harp, af- forded the highest possible treat, not only to eve- ry lover of this national instrument, but to every other amateur of this divine science of four narpers WTto .appeared to contest the prize, two only- were found (competent to display the beau- ties of this instrument, and they were fortunately qualified, almost in the highest degree of perfec- t10" for a considerable time, the judges found it difficult to award the palm of merit, nor was it until after a frequent repetition of various speci- mens of their respective powers, they could ulti- mately do so it appeared to the spectators, an arduous contest between taste and judgment on one side, and powerful execution on the other, and the latter prevailed but with the most lau- dable spirit, the former was amply or equally re- warded with the other, for the extraordinary ta- lent he had displayed. N IJXt to this most interesting and creditable exhibition, was that most curious and peculiar specimen of national music, called penillion. It was conducted with the greatest order, and the actors in the scene appeared so perfectly compe- tent, as to render it a most amusing picture of the ancient customs of the principality: the prize harper playing the same tune to an indefinite ex- tent, was accompanied by one of the competitors singing one verse, and he in succes- sion gave place to another, and so on, until all ■had twice, or thrice over given a full specimen of their talents, when he who had evinced the most taste and judgment, was declared the victor, among a or 6 candidates. The dinner at the Lion, at which the High Sheriff presided, did not.fill, and this was the on- ly instance betraying a want of that unanimity and patriotic spirit, which appeared so strongly to characterise every other department of this ex- cellent meeting. The dinner at the old Town- hall was crowded to excess, 200 individuals, at least, sitting down to a great abundance of excel- lent" fare among these, a considerable number of highly respectable visitors were introduced, and the Sheriff's party, naturally suspecting that where the most interesting and attractive objects of the morning exhibition had assembled, they would find most entertainment, shortly after their own dinner, proposed a junction, which the latter gladly accepted, and thus concentrated, the whole party passed the remainder of the evening in the highest state of social harmony. Over this numerous party, John Roberts, Esq. presided,' with Robert H. Jones, Esq. fpr his the Denbigh band filled an orchestra >:sp9fiiaj\y prepared for their accommodation; Messrs. Haydn and Son, from St. Asaph, Mr. Cunnah, the celebrated harp player, Mr. Jones, the-able organist of Ruthin,. Messrs. Fenton, Adams,.and many other able and scientific ama- teurs, formed an aggregate of musical talent, which afforded at intervals during the evening the most delightful specimens of native Welsh music, and of national airs; along with this, ma- ny. of the visitors, and me-uibei-s, of the society, addressed the Meeting, both in English and Welsh, in excellent speeches. It was particu- larly remarked of Mr. Adams, though a native of England, and not longer than two years a resi- dent ofRuthin, that he sunsr a Welsh song, Yr hen amser gynt," with an infinite share of taste, ahd all expression of the words equally perfect as any native could have done. From this social and happy assembly, the Sheriff and the greater number of his party repaired to a ball, at the new Hall, which was also well attended, and kept up with spirit to a late hour in the morning each and all retiring to their respective homes, with the heartfelt gratification of having spent a most happy day in the service of their native country, ;^i}t^j[^}jng with fond, yet confident expectation, that it'was an auspicious prelude to many repeti- tions of still higher promise, in the same delight- ful duty. I It is rather a remarkable circumstance, that ten Admirals have died every year, during the last ten years. It is said that the statute of limitations, with respect to debts under a certain amount, is to be altered from six to two years. Penatsge.—On Tuesday last, a number of per- sons attended at the Parish Church of Lancaster, to witness the novel sight of a female doing pe- nance. The individual was Hannah Clough, a prisoner confined in the gaol for debt, from the Ecclesiastical Court of Chester. In consequence of this recantation she is set at liberty otherwise she would have been confined for life. In the House of Commons on Tuesday even- ing se'nnight, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that the new survey of tenements, which had occasioned so many complaints, was not in- *one tended for the purpose of compensating for the reduction already made in the Assessed Taxes, but had for its object to equalize the existing rate of the House Tax, preparatory to a diminu- tion of the duty in proportion to the increase pro- duced by the new valuation. With this view, he intimated to the House, that directions should be given for continuing the survey.
