THE CHURCH IN WALES. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,- It was with much pleasure that I noticed the letter of II A Clergyman" in your last number. I am an Englishman, not long resident in Wnles, and confess that the apathy of the Church, and the little bold which she possesses on the mass of the lower orders, seem to me very great; and at a time when revivals so strongly attract the people generally, I think it speaks little for the Church that no efforts are made,not to excite a tem- porary religious mania, but to induce, however a small number, to become steady attendants at the house of God, I can conceive, under the divine blessing, no course more likely to effect its object, than the special services recommended in the letter of II A Clergyman." Nor could any season seem more suitable than that on which we are now entering. Let them be organised at Bangor, Conway, Beaumaris, Holyhead, and let preachers be appointed to take them in turn, to whom, I have no doubt, the Bishop would give his hearty aid. Trusting that some such measures may be carried into effect to enable the Church in some degree to gain more hold on the affections of the people generally, I beg to subscribe myself Yours obediently, ANGLICUS.

THE CHANCEL OF RUTHIN CHURCH. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. I 818,- The communication from a Parishioner in your last number, which disposes so effectually of certain novel and pretended claims to the possession of our chancel, has given no little satisfaction to his fellow- parishioners. Your correspondent however intimates that he has other proofs as to the untenableness of such pretensions, and if he would favour your readers with them. on some future but early occasion, the inhabitants of Ruthin will no doubt feel much obliged. Not that any doubts can exist on the subject, after the two un- answerable objections of the two faeulty pews alluded to, but as some of our neighbours may not have a very clear notion of the nature of a faculty," any information as to the history of the chancel he can give us, will, no doubt, he acceptable. I trust, however, he will not con- sider me presumptuous if I avail myself of this oppor- tunity to give a few extracts from an old note book in my possession. When the chancel was transferred form the north to the south aisle is not known for certain, but there can be little doubt it was about the beginning of the 18th cen- tury, nhen the south side of the church was rebuilt. About 1720, the parishioners flagged the cbancel with what is called Derwen stone-prohllbly the blue slate rock in common use at present. The first pews erected in this part of the church, by order of the parishioners, were the Myddleton and Llanbedr pews, and the space from them to the east wall was occupiea ny open iorms against the north and south walls, for the use of the more substantial inhabitants. The churchwardens' and aldermen's pews stood also to the west of the Myddleton teat. Within a year or two after this, a portion of the nor- thern bench was converted by order, and at the expense of the parishioners, into a pew, assigned to Sir W. Wil- liams, of Plas-y-ward, and lately occupied by the tenants of the Cross Foxes, and the remainder of the bench was obtained (by faculty) by a Mr. Edwards. This Mr. Edwards, or his successor, about 15 years afterwards, wished to put on a door, and apparently to convert it into a pew, hut the parishioners disapproved of it as interfer- ing with the space, and compelled him to desist. Nor was this the only occasion on which the parishioners of former days maintained their rights against all encroach- ments in the chancel. Between 1730 and 1740 Mr. Edward Price applied for a faculty to erect a pew, con- tiguous to the Llanbedr pew, on which a vigorous oppo- sition was made, and Mr. Price failed in his attempt. I could continue my notes if necessary, but enough has been stated to show how completely the chancel was re- cognised as the property of the parish, and no where amid all these disputes, is there found the shadow of a claim on the part of the clergyman. About fifty years ago, the chancel was also on one side of it restored and much improved. This was done at the cost of the public, nor is there a single instance of any expense laid out on the chancel which was not defrayed by the parishioners. May we express a hope that the present claims of the Rev. B. O. Jones will not be persisted in, but that he will do his best to restore peace and satisfaction to his parishioners. He cannot be ignorant of the real facts, and will not persist in maintaining imaginary privileges against the wishes and rights of others. I am. sir. vour obedient servant. I I A LOVER or TRUTH,

THE PARISH OF BANGOR. To the Elitor of the North Wales Chronicle. _I Sir,-In the last impression of the Carnarvon Herald appears a letter signed Hywel Coetmor," in which the writer draws the attention of the "ladies and gentlemen" who pay rates in the parish of Bangor, to a public build- ing called the Union House, situate near to our city; and alter entering into some few details, shewing them how much money the Bangor Guardians have expended upon settled and non-settled paupers during the last six months, proceeds humbly" to enlighten them upon the relative proportions of the value and expenditure of the two parishes of Bangor and Llandegai, (very consider- ately (perhaps wisely) abstaining from any mention of the twenty Anglesey parishes within the Union, lest the forest of figures" should perplex their obtuse compre- This is all very kind on his part, and the information rendered, will, I feel sure, be appreciated by the rate- oarers but in the latter part of the following paragraph 18 contained his grievance A motion moved by the ? T J Williams, seconded by W. B. Hughes, ?..q., was recently carried by the Board of Guardians, praying the Poor-Law Board to endeavour to get the cost of mfin?ni.g tbe Union paupers to be disbursed on the several parishes according to their value, and not accord- ing to the sum they pay towards their own poor as at ?sent. Col. Pennant came to the Board to oppose lotion. and he ? .?.r? by   of Banqor." Of this I have aright to complain as contain- ing a a- r'ir and unjust statement. Whatever Col. Ptn- nant may have come to the Board for, I car) htrilly think it possible for an unprejudiced person who has read the amendment proposed by him at that Board to say that it opposes Mr. Williams's motion. I say it embraces Mr. Williams's motion, but goes further; IInd for the benefit of those who may not have seen it, so as to be able to judge for themselves, I will give it here,-it runs thus: That this Board is of opinion that in any alteration in the law so as to introduce the principle of common fating, th, coun ti, of Anglesey and Carnarvon should be separated for all purposes of rating. In all fairness, in what does this oppose Mr. Williams's motion? "At the meeting of Guardians referred to, there were present three out of the four Guardians of Ba'Kor. ??. .? of whom voted in support of the amendment, so that saying that Col Pennant was supported II by the Guar- dians of Bangor," is creating a false impression. As one of the two who so voted, I beg to say that I did so to the best of my judgment, without fear or hin- dmnce," being convince that whatever might be benefit of having Mr. Williams's motion passed into law, it would be of very much greater benefit to the parish of Bangor to have the amendment made law as well. Should, however, the "ladies and gentlemen who pay rates in the parish, he of opinion that the present Guardians are not the right men in the right place," the next elet-tiori is close at hand, when we shall doubt- less see, as we have often seen, in elections of greater importance, the lucrative vacancies filled by more" inde- pendnt gentlemen," of wbom possibly as many as four may be found in the city.

SPECIAL CHURCH SERVICES. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,I fear the suggestion of A Clergyman in the last NORTH WALES CHRONICLE, has come too late for the services to commence on Ash Wednesday. As there appear no reasons against beginning them later, and renewing them after Easter, or at Whitsuntide, I venture to suggest that the laity may be made useful in in. viting the people to come, and by contributing towards a fund for travelling expenses, and lighting the churches, as I understand that some parishes have no rate, and many Rectors and Curates are unable to afford any additional expense. If it be true that the present" Re- vival is mischievous, it would seem more incumbent on all true Christians to pray that God wili raise up His power, and come amongst us, and with great might Buccour us." I have only to add that I am willing to help according to my ability. I remain Sir, your's, A CONSTANT READER. To the Editoi, of the North Wales Chronicle. SIR,—I am happy to say the suggestion of" A Cler- gyman,' in your last, is about to be carried out in Lliin disilio Church, Menai Bridge. There will be service on Wednesday evenings during Lent, the first taking place on tbe 29th inst., at six o'clock. The Rector hopes to arrange for both Welsh and English services. I am, Sir. yours faithfully. It. E. HOOPPELL, M. A.

THE BUDGET,-BUILDING SOCIETY SECURITIES. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. Sir,—Mr. Bristow, the member for Kidderminster, has given notice of an amendment on the Budget, which would have the effect of retaining the exemption from Stamp Duties of Building Society Mortgages; but un- less he is strengthened by numerous petitions it is feared that his amendment will not be carried. A petition from this neighbourbood has been signed by the secretaries and many of the members of sixteen societies; but there may be other persons who would like to forward petitions to the same effect, and there- fore I shall feel obliged by your inserting the annexed copy petition in your this week's paper. Petitions should be forwarded by post as soon as pos- sible, directed as follows: A. R. BRISTOW, Esq., M.P., House of Commons, LOlldon." I remain, sir, your obedt. servant, WILLIAM TRYTHALL. To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. "The bumble Petition of the undersigned Members of Benefit Building Societies established in the County of Carnarvon. Sheweth, that your Petitioners perceive with great regret that the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to abolish the exemption from Stamp Duties which Members of Building Societies have hitherto enjoyed in respect of Securities given by them for advances on Mortgage, That the effect of such Societies in the County of Carnarvon has been most beneficial, as they have en. abled several hundreds of Quarrymen and others receiv- ing monthly wages, who bad previously no opportunity of profitably investing their small savings, to acquire Dwelling Houses, and to form frugal habits. That the benefit estimated to accrue to the hxche- quer by charging Building Society securities with Stamp Duty, is enly £5.000, and such sum would have to be paid exclusively by borrowing members, who find it al- ready difficult to keep up their payments. rea That although Securities are exempted from Stamp Duty, the Exchequer derives considerable benefit from these Societies in another shape, as the facilities thereby afforded for loans have produced a large additional amount of Stamp Duty on Conveyances, Leases, Bill, Receipt, and other Stamps, and on Insurances against fire. That the proposed Duty would discourage the Societies already in existence, and probably have the effect of preventing many others from being formed, as it would lead to an apprehension, that if taxation of them were once commenced, it would be extended on some future occasion. Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that your Honourable House will not sanction the removal of the exemption of Mortgage Stamps which Building Societies have so long enjoyed. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.

THE EXTRAORDINARY POCEEDING IN I A DISSENTING CHAPEL. To the Editor of the North Wales Chronicle. I I Sir,-I feel tempted to write a few lines of reply to the letter of Veritas" in your last issue, headed Ex- traordinary Proceeding in a Dissenting Chapel." Let me state in limine, that every true and right-minded Christian, whether a dissenter or churchman, must condemn in toto the proceeding alluded to. And, let me inform "-Veritas" and your readers, through the columns of your excellent CHRONICLE, that the whole affair was denounced publicly and privately at the time it took place. One influential lay gentleman, a dissenter too, residing in the village, remonstrated against the » Extraordinary Proceeding" nearly a month ago, and addressed the Editor of the leading London Religious Dissenting Journal on the subject. Subjoined is a copy of his excellent and timely protest, and I trust, Sir, to your love of justice, to insert it in your next issue for the special perusal of Veritas" and his friends; and, in conclusion, I would just ask Veritas if any one is warranted in denouncing Dissent wholesale, owing to an occasional extraneous and incidental excess such as this Extraordinary Proceeding" referred to, any more than we have a right to condemn wholesale the Church of England because of the disgraceful proceed- ings in St. George's in the East?

HISTORY OF THE ANTIQUITIES AND I MOST REMARKABLE THINGS OF THE PARISH OF DOLWYDDELAN. It seems that this parish derived its name from St. Gwyddelan, who erected the first church here. We are ignorant of the period of his life; some say that he lived about the end of the sixth century of the Christian era. The parish stands at the eastern end of Carnarvon- shire. It is bounded on the west by Beddgelert on the south, by Festiiiiog on the east, by Penmachno; on the north-east, by Betws-y-Coed; and on the north, by Tre' Gwydyr. It is 6 miles in length and 2 in breadth. The nu,nber of the inhabitants in the year 1851 amount- ed to 728. There is a church, besides four dissenting chapels and a public school. The village stands at the bottom of a narrow vale, which is bounded on all sides by majestic bills and shel- tered on the west by the leaning pyramid of Moel Siahod, and in order to render it more beautiful, the Ledr river runs through its centre, meandering by the skirts of the hills, and fulling over the rocks at Pont-y-Pant, until at last it joins the Conway river. Antiquity of the Pariah, The castle is the most re- markable IInd ancient building in the parish. It stands on the western side of the village, on the summit of a precipitous rock. ItwasbuittMyofeoftheWekh ? p fnee in the year A.D. 500. The style of the building resembles that of Dolbadan. and Cncc.eth castas. It seems to have been once a large place from the n?hi har? to be seen about it; but a)| that remains standing at the present time is one tower, 46 t? by 2a t and part of another, ear h containing three stories. This place bas been a good defence to our natior man times, and we are taught that it was the ,a^ r'trorig?old North Wales that held out against the assaults of Ed- ward the First, king of England. Iorwerth Drwyndwn, son of O?n Gwynedd, was made Lord of Dolwvddelan by Lady Gwiadus. in the yea?r U67 amongsMbe g?nts made during the usurpation of the Duke of Gloucester, is found that of Dohvyddelan Castle to Ralph Berkeneth. But in tbe third year of King Henry the Seventh an act of resumption was passed, whereby all the grants of Richard the Third were recalled, excepg-the. lease of the Ffrith of Dolwyddelan. At this time came Meredydd to live here; and be found the ptate of the parish was so barbarous that he dared not make known when he went out for fear of being way- laid. To protect himself, he filled his tenements with able men and placed others on the king's lands. He also organised the few freeholders who were in the parish, and at last he counted around him seven score tall bowmen, accoutred with an armolette, a steel cap, a short sword and dirk. Most of them were furnished with horses and hunting spears, and they were a sufficient match against the robbers of the district, who exceeded them in number. Beside the good work of extirpating banditti, Meredydd also served the king abroad. On his return to his native land he purchased Gwydyr from Davydd ap Howel, of Coytmor, and erected what is called the Lower House, but more properly the Hall of Meredydd, placing a tenant in his strong house of Penanman. He left the castle to his new house at Gwydyr, near Llanrwst. He departed this life in peace and honour on the 18th day of March, 1525, aged 55 years, leaving 26 children. His remains were deposited in the church of Dolwyddelan, which he caused to be erected at his own expense, and where a modest tablet epitomizes his history. The church built by Meredith is of such substantial workmanship that it will probably prove the most lasting monument of his deeds. A little chapel was subsequently built on the south side of the church by Robert Wynne, brother of Meredydd, and uncle to Sir John Wynn of Gwydyr. It is said that Robert Wynn lived at Bryn Noel at this time. It is a good building at present. There are several other buildings in this parish which are of great antiquity. This parish was a notable haunt of the Romans in going and coming from Tomen y Mar to Caerhun, near Conway. There are still parts of the Roman road to be seen-one at the vale of Penanman, another by the church, another by the castle, and another at Cefn Llewelyn. 1temarhableness of/he Parilh. We have already men. tioned several of its most remarkable things, so that we have but little to say more on this point, In ancient times this place was noted for its masons. There was a remarkable man lived here about the 12th century of the name of Howel, who is said to have built Bettws- y-Coed Bridge. From this place also was the famous man, Inigo Jones, considered to be one of tbe best architects of his time in Europe, for we are informed thar he was the architeet of the palace of the king of Denmark, and several buildings in Paris and London, and it is said that before he died he earned celebrity as an artist in the latter place. This parish is also rendered remarkable for the production of eminent preachers; there having been born here thirteen persons who have been and are at present an ornament to the Welsh and Ensrlish puluits.

LIVERPOOL AND LONDON INSURANCE COMPANY. Tbe annual meeting -if the proprietors in this com- pany was held ou Thursday, in the companv's offioes, Drle-stieet. Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., presided. The report having been printed and circulated, was taken as read. The following is an abstract In the capital there has been no change, and the amount of stock in the hands of the proprietors is 9188,702. Al though the result of the fire busine-s has not been so profitable as in some former reports, a large addition has again been made to the premiums collected. In 1858 ihey were £ 276,058. 7s., and last year, notwith- standing causes which in some places led to an almost total cessation of business, and in others to a large dimi- nution in the rates of premium previously current, the sum of L295,114 8s. 101. was received. The losses, on the other hand, were in excess of those of 1858, and reached E201,885 7s., lid. The number of life polices issued during the year is 815; the sum insured by them is g499,808, and the annual income which they contribute is L14,520 I Is. 8d.; and the total premiums of he year £ 127,415 14s. 9d. The business now con- sists of 7,318 polices, insuring E3996,289, and of 384 annuities, amounting to E18,934 lOs, 9d. The valuation now made, which shows a balance of available profit amounting to E47,000, establishes in the minds of the directors the soundness of the system on which the business is conducted, and its claims to even a larger measure of support. The reserve funds remains without alteration, and stands, as hst year, at £ 215,596. 1 Is. Ild. As to the investment of funds, the directors see no reason for making any material alteration in the description of securities it has been their practice to accept. The balance of the profit and loss account is £ 215,000. Advantage has been taken of the profit derived from the life business to increase to L60,000 the investment fluctuation fund. This appropriation, and other circumstances, have determined the board to recommend this year the same dividend of 30 per cent., free of income-tax, which has been paid of late years." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said that both their business and their losses last year had been greater than usual; but this was to be expected, as their business extended alt over the world, and it was their best course, in calculating their profits and losses, to take an average of years. Their profits last year bad averaged C47,000 and the directors had no hesitation in recommending a dividend of 12s. per share. The question of their investments had engaged the serious attention of the board, who did not think that the general practice of insuring in the public funds was the mostjudicious. They found other securities, both at home and abroad as safe, and far more profitable; and in their foreign business they had not sustained any loss in their investments. He also referred to the recent investigation respecting Mr. Forster's charges, and congratulated the company on the result. It wall singular that Mr. Forster should have impugned his conduct at the last meeting, when Mr. Younj, Mr. Forster's representative, moved a vote of thanks to him for his courtesy and impartiality. Mr. Forster having declined to appear before the com- mittee, they would have been justified in refusing to proceed with the investigation, but they did not, being anxious to ascertain the real facts of the case. Mr, MOZLBY differed with the board as to the neces- sit for making investments abroad. Mr. ;nll:tL'said he was a con- siderable proprietor, and never heard a breath of elan. der against the company until he received the pamphlet which emanated from Mr. Forster. There were asser- tions in that pamphlet which, on Mr. Forster's own written letters fell to the ground. In regard to the in. vestments, Mr. Ridgway said he did not like to see the money put out of arm's length, bdt preferred that there should be a considerable amount of readily available assets. Mr. ALLENDAR said he was not quite so disposed to take such a lenient view of the conduct of Mr. Forster as some gentlemen appeared to be, and he suggested that they should ascertain whether, Mr. Forster having damnified the company by making charges which had been proved untrue, they were not in a position to pro. ceed against him. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said very great care was taken with the foreign investments, and nothing could be more satisfactory than the report in relation to them. Mr. ISAAC KITCHBN moved an amendment, toj, the effect that a bonus of 3s. per share should be added to the dividend proposed, but he subsequently withdrew it, and the motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. RIDGWAY, seconded by Mr. HALL, it was resolved that in future an ad interim dividend should be paid half-yearly. On the motion of Mr. HALL the seven directors re- tirine by rotation were re-elected. Thanks, were then voted to the Committee of Inves- tigation and the directors were instructed to compen- sate those gentlemen, as they saw fit, for theirlabouis. Thanks were also voted to the board of directors for their attention to the affairs of the company during the past y.?ar and £ 1.200 was placad at their disposal for distribution among themselves in such manner as they might see fit. Thanks were likewise voted to the various local boards of directors at home and abroad, and JO Mr. J. C. Corbally and Mr. Daniel James the auditors, (who were re-elected,) and the proceedings terminated with the usual compliment to Ihe Chairman, The following is an abstract of the report issued by the Investigation Committee :-The committee dealt with Mr. Forster's charges seriatim, entering first upon the allegations as to the loss on railway shares. It appeared that the whole of the ordinary shares held by the company are on mortgage, at a high rate of m- teres-, and liable to redemption by the parties to whom money was lent upon them. The money so lent amounted on the 5th of May, 1846, to E231,045 5s. 4d., whilst the market value being X333,127, shews that a considerable margin was reserved at the time the ad- vances were made. Even had the company been com- pelled to realize their mortgages in the 9150,000 of stock they held ot Southeastern Company's shares in 1850, when those shares reached their lowest point of 12& per share, or £ 41 13s. 4d for the XIOU stock, the utmost loss would have been EOB,750, supposing (which was not the fact) that every one of the mortgagors was unable to repay the deficiency for which he was liable. Mr. Forster's charges, therefore, are, to say the least, greatly exaggerated; for, January 1st, 1850, the paid up capital of the Liverpool and Londou Company, exclusive of the reserve fund of 13,000, was CI88,547 10i. The committee find that the London Board, from its commencement in 1846, were cogni- zant of the nature and extent of the company's advances on railway shares. The only shares purchased as an investment on account of the Li- verpool and London Company are some 48 per cent, preference shares in the Midland railway. As to the foreign business and agencies, the committee find that the extension of the company's business to foreign parts originated with the LonJon Board. The whole of the foreign agencies including local forelp b eing twenty-three in December last. With regard to ?8 undertaking of ?e nnexpirtdtre ristsM Canada of the Globe of6ce, on reeeiyin, what wu cod- sidered an adequate sum of money from that office, the committee state that the transaction has proved re- munerative to the Liverpool and London Company. With regard to the Valparaiso fire, on,lderd, like the great fire at Hamburg, as an exceptionaNe case, the committee are glad to find that the directors have made alterations in their tariff of premiums, and contracted the limit to which the agent can act for the company. In reference to the most important question of all,-the character of the present Investments of the company.- the committee dnclare unreservedly that, "with the exception of the railway shares before adverted to, and the amount permanently invested in the compsny's va- rious buildings, your committee feel satisfied not only that the investments are perfectly safe, but also that the greater part of them are capable of being realized at very short notice, in case of need; !lid that al- though the directors have not purchased Govern- ment securities, the railway stocks on which they have lent money on mortgage, are as realizable, and offer under the restrictions on which your directors now lend, on the security of railway share, advantages in their greater immunity from loss than moneys invested in Government securities. The committee 'express their conourence in tbe determination announced by the chair- man at tbe last meeting, of the directors to dispose as early as possible of the bank stock held on behalfof the company, adding their hope that the directors will not for the future, urder any circumstances, permit invest- ments to be made on behalf of this company in any undertaking which involves unlimited liability." In conclusion, the committee call attention to the large balances in the hands of bankers and agents, on which no interest can be made, but do not doubt the subject has already received the consideration of the directors. On the whole we think it may be fairly said that this report of the Investigation Committee will certainly tend to restore full confidence in the stability of the Liverpool and London Insurance Company.

I SHREWSBURY AND WELSHPOOL RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting was held at the Board-room, Railway Station, Shrewsbury, on Tuesday last. The Earl of Powis presided. R. S. FRANCE, Esq., secretary, read the notice con- vening the meeting, and the report of the directors.— 'The report stated that an agreement has been made be- 'tween the London and North Western and Oswestry and Newtown Companies, and approved by this Com- pany, and by which, in consideration of the gross pay- ment of £ 25.000, access to Welshpool, along the Os- westry and Newtown line, has been secured. The Con- tractor expresses his entire confidence that he will be able to complete the line from Shrewsbury to Hanwood, and thence on to Minsterley in July next, and he hopes to complete the remaining portion of the main line from Hanwood to the junction with the Oswestry and New- town railway shortly afterwards. The heavy cutting and tunnel at Buttington are the works which really de termine the period of final completion. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report and statement of accounts were received and adopted, and the retiring directors, R. H. Mytton, Esq, and G. Stanton. Esq., were re-elected. W. W. How, Esq., proposed that Mr. R. Owen be re-elected auditor. Carried. Mr. R. B. BLAKEMORE proposed, and Mr. J. O. SANDFORD seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was duly carried and acknowledged.

OUR LIBRARY TABLE. OBSERVATIONS ON HORSE RAILWAYS," by George Francis Train, (Sampson, Low, Son & Co., Ludgate- hill), is a letter to tbe President of the Board of Trade, from an American gentleman, strongly advocating the adoption in tbe metropolis and other large towns of England, of the system of tramways, on which light cars would supersede the present street omnibuses. The plan is said to work well in New York; and it has been partially adopted in Liverpool. But we confess we do not see how tramways can be adapted in our streets to one species of carriage, without impeding the passage of every other kind of vehicle, and constituting a monopoly which would be very unpopular with the people of England. In London, we cannot think that tramways, or horse railways, would be any improvement on the old and much-abused omnibus system, which, nevertheless, is fraught with many benefits to the public.

There are in the Welsh language, 7 weekly newspapers, 2 bi- weekly, 29 monthly magazines, and 4 quarterlies, upon all of which is expended no small amount of energy talent and skill. The present number of the II BRYTHON" is noted for the taste and variety of its selections and the productions are remarkable for the clear expression, in a popular style, of subjects requiring considerable skill and profundity in their elucidation. The following are the lines sung before her Majesty during her late visit at Penrhyn Castle, communitfated by the leader of the Llanllechid choir to the pages of the BRYTHON," for an English translation of which the publisher offers a prize: "G^EDDI DROS Y FEENINJES. ° Duw I cadw ar bob awr, Fienine* Prydain Fawr, Mewn hawddaf hynt*.

THE HEALTH OF SCHOOLS.—In these days of high- pressure education, when the youthful mind has to grap- ple with a wide range of study, there is danger lest the physical health of the young scholars should be sacrificed to the too rapid development of the mental faculties. Conscientious managers of schools take every precaution to avoid so unfavourable a result. There are, however, myriads of boys and girls in whom, perhaps, without any severe manifestation of ill health there exists a constitu- tional tendency or hereditary predisposition to defective nutrition-tbe fertile cause of consumption and of scro- fula in all its various phases. In the most well-conducted educational establishments, this functional derangement in the young has been most successfully combated by the administration of a most simple, safe, and invigorating remedy, greatly relished by children-Dr. de Jongh s well known Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. Dr. Pearce, the author of the popular work, Hygiene of Schools," ob- serves: I once freely administered the Pale Oil, in an establishment containing one hundred and fifty children. I now prescribe none other than Dr. de Jongb's Oil. The more I have an opportunity of observing its effects, the more am I satisfied of the superiority of Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil over every other preparation of this valuable medicinal agent," Whoever M to use the GLENFIELD PATENT STARCH regularly in their Laundry neglect the best means for getting up fine Laces, Linnes, &c., in that clear and efficient manner which is so desirable. This Starch is decidedly the best made for CLEARNESS, PURITY, ELAS- TICITY, and in resisting the atmosphere it is unequalled. 11 order to have it in its perfection, it is necessary to attend minutely to the DIRECTIONS for mixing it up which are upon every packet. Though these are so very simple, yet Laundresses and Housekeepers by not properly attending to them do not fully develope its meritb, and they are in a great measure disappointed. The Proprietor of the GLKNFIKLD PATENT STARCH, bqgsto draw the attention of LADIES and LAUNDRESSES to the following easy and simple method of making it up, adopted at the Royal Laundry by HER MAJESTY'S LAUNDRESS, who for many years has used no other.
