DOLGELLEY. I A local Eisteddfod was held at Llanfachreth, about 3 miles from this town, on Friday, the 1st instant. The meeting was under the presidency of the worthy incum- bent of the parish, the Rev. E. O. Williams, who opened the proceedings at the first meeting, which was convened at one o'clock, with some very pretty and sensible remarks upon the ancient Cymric Institution of the Eis- teddfod. J. Owen, Esq., Chester (Owain Alaw), was present as musical conductor, and the Rev. W. Jones (Myfvr Mon) as adjudicator of the poetical and prose compositions. The choirs of Llanfachreth, Rhydymain, and Brithdir sang some of their best selections at intervals. Owain Alaw, accompanied on the piano, rendered some of his favourite pieces such as Y Tren. Grynewth ) of the The comic description (by Sir Meirig Grynawth), of the nHoaniaintn nf the Welsh Ladies to the Princess of Wales, Imitation from Lord Dunreary things which cannot be found out, Hen Forgan a'i Wraig, &c in a masterly style, which were almost invariably encored. The comic singing of the Perthyfelin choir elicited a good deal of laughter and merriment from the audience. The singing was throughout of a very pleasing and amusing order. The learned adjudicator highly e?o. gised some of the literary compositions, Dewi Glan P?Udd.. and another stranger, a recent settler from Yankee-dom, carrying away nearly all the prizes. The epitaph proposed for the tomb of Owain Aran Roberts was, however, won by Mr. Robert Roberts, Carlleg. Several other modes of competition were also essayed, such as the best stocking, night cap, walking sticks, horse shoes, &c. On the platform we noticed, besides the jreutlemen before mentionedMr. L. Williams, Vron wnion, and Miss Williams; Mrs. E. O. Williams, Charles Williams, Esq., Miss E. Williams, and Miss C. Williams, Dolmelynllyn llall; R. Pughe, Esq., Hely- gog, and the two Miss Pughe; Drs. J. E. Jones and E. Jones; William Jones, Esq., and Mrs. Jones, Penmaen, Ac. The meeting was numerously attended, the wea- ther being very propitious. We highly congratulate the committee upon the success of the undertaking in a pecuniary point of view hoping, also, that the success- ful compositions will come "i wyneb haul a Ilygad goleuni," and not be consigned to oblivion, all is too generally the case with the productions of the fcistedd fodau. Before closing our report, it is incumbent pon, I,na to say that the thanks of the meeting were exhibited in the wwmeet manner to the chairmMn, the adjudica- tors, and the ladies for investing the succeMfui competi- tors.
