On Wednesday, the Eisteddfod, or Association of Cambrian Literary and Musical Talent at Bre con, commenced with all the spirit which attends Meetings iu the Principality when convened on mos tional occasions. The Committee having made the mostjudicious arratigsmetio, every thing proceeded in the most regular counter according to the form that had been previously published. The more immediate business of the Eisteddfod commenced with an eloquent 114/11 appropriste address from the worthy and highly respected President, Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. wherein he stated that the object of the Meeting was more particularly for affording men of genius and learning au opportunity of dis playing their powers, and receiving premiums ac cording to merit. He also slated that he had re ceireda communication from Colonel %Vood, wherein he mentioned that it was his intention to be present on the interesting occasion, and that he much re gretted that circumstances happened to prevent his attendance. A letter from S. Humphreys Parry, Esq. was next read, wherein he thanked the Society fur electing him an honorary member, and, in ap propriate terms, expressed the interest he took in its success. The several resolutions of the Com Mil l ie which they had passed since the meeting of the So ciety at its commencement were then adverted to, when it was resolved, that they met with the appro bation of the Society, and that it confirmed them. A resolution was next passed, wherein she Com mittee were thanked fur their z-alous and judicious exertions in promoting the ohjrcts of the Society, and were requested to continue in office. When the President, according so the order prescribed, inquired if there were any gentlemen present dis posed to deliver their sentinonts on the subject coonrcted with the objects of the Eisteddfod, after • short pause the Rev. Thomas Price, of Llangeney, came forward, and *puke much in praise of the ancient British Port, ~iris, and stated it to be his opium'', that Several of the poems which were usually attributed to Taliesin were the pro ductions of that Bard. He also observed, in very interesting language . , that the literary works called Romancer, which had been so celebrated on the Continent, had their origin in this district, when the celebrated Arthur held his court, and instituted the Order of the Round Table. His address seemed to make a great impression on the andteuce, and several expressed a wish that it should be printed. On the Bards being called upou to recite the verses which they had composed on the occasion of the Meeting. the first delivered was a beautiful ode written by Thomas Jones. Esq. of London Bardd Cie), Treasurer of the Royal Cambrian Metropo litan 'agitation. As Mr. Jones was. to his great regret, prevented from being present by imperious and unatoidsble circumstances, the ode was recited with great effect by the Rev. Daniel Evans (Daniel Dclu I, who also delivered a copy of Welsh verses r ee by the lime highly table writer, which accorn !wiled it. A best . I copyshoerses, written for the occa s ion, by M . envy PkWiis, of Throgmor tonsstreet, Lond o n; do next delivered in a very emphatic and appropriate manner by the Rev. John Oughts, of Brecon, and was received with much applause. Mr. Thomas Williams (Gtrelyst Alor '<meg) theti came forward and recited a set of Eng/psion or Welsh verses, 'trifle') by himself; as also did Mr. Even Evan., of Berriew, Montgotnes ryshire, and Mi.ses Evuos. of Llanfrynach, Brecon. shire, all of which were received with applause ac cording to their merits. Those persons uho were provided with similar .prodections were then re quested to defer the recitation until the following morning. According to the ptescribe . d order, the judgment respecting the prize compositions was to be next delivered, and Mr. Thomas Jones, of Liverpool, read the report respecting the Lag/yo on the Rain bow, in Welsh, which had been drawn up by the Rev. Welter Davies, one of the. appointed Judges for the occasion. but who was prevented attending; and a similar report in English us. read by the Rev. John Hughes, one of the other Judges, where. in it war stated that the compositions were 69 in somber, and that The one to which the Judges as signed the premium was subscribed kiliedydd. On the name being announced, and she person who bud assumed it being called on to declare himself. no one answered ; and accordingly the seal was broke, and when the paper which covered the real name was removed, it was discovered that the author was Mr. William Williams, of Denbigh. As he was not present, Mr. Robert Davies (Roble Dche ) was requested to recite the Engf . yri in his stead. and was also invested by Miss Morgan with the Medal hav ing a representation of the subject on which it was written—" The Rainbow." The judgment given respecting the eywyddaw, or Poem., on the Overthrow of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, was next given ; that iii Welsh, written by the Rev. Walter D.,vies, was delivered by Mr. Thomas Jones; and the English by Mr. Hughes as before, when it was reported that there were 15 pieces lent in, of various merit, and that the cam. position to which they adjudged the premium was subscribed Menem. On the person being called for who had assumed tins name, no one answered, and, on breaking open the seal, the author was found to be Mr. Peter Junes, of Liverpool. As the author was not present, the composition was recited by his friend and acqoaiiitance, Mr. Thomas Jones, who wus invested in his room by Miss Morgan, after having been presented to I.er on tie ocearkiii by three Bards ; Mr. Edward Williams, Mr: Robert Davies, and Mr. Evans Evans. Respecting the Awdlow. or Odes, on .the period of the Regency, the judgment of the Rev. Walter Davies, in Welsh, and his own report in English, were delivered by the Rev. J. Hughes, when it was observed, that there were five candidates, all of whom had great merit in their way. Of each of these compositions a particular judgment was given; that signed Casnodyn, was written in the stele and language of the 11th and Utli centurim, and spewed great ability its the writer. but was not of that kind to come in competition with those written in the language of later eras. This piece has been attributed to Aneurin Owen Pugh. E.g. son of Dr. Owen Pugh. the celebrated Welsh Lexictor grapher. The Ode subscribed Hamesydd was de clared to have very W elt merit, and to be perfect in its composition, and had it possessed more poetic fire. the author would have strong claim to be seated in the Bardic Chair; this excellent piece is attri buted to Mr. John Howell., of Llandovery. The Ode subscribed Gwiow Back was stated to have great merit, but hail evident marks of haste in the composition ; this piece has been attributed so Mr. Thomas Joules, of Liverpool. Cylfelia was the assumed same subscribed to the fourth-mentioned, in favour of which MO wua said, but it was ob served that although great justice was paid therein to the achievements 01 the British arms at IVisterloo. nothing was mentioned respecting the glory they gained iii she Peninsula. Leyr, or the Eagle, was the name assumed by the author of the fifth or lust composition which was to he noticed; when it was observed ttuit he took a daring flight in his progress, and although perfi ction did not mark his way, yet his strong proton and grasping talons bore away the premium, and entitled him to be placed in the Chair of Honour. On E.ryr being announced, and the person who adopted the de►tguution requested to declare him self, if present, Mr. William Jones, of DalgsHeys came forward, stud said lie had assumed it. Being a young man, his !Living written an ode of so much ►merit so curly in life excited great interest in the company, and repeated bursts of applause followed. After having recited part of his composition, he was invested with the Chair Medal by Miss Morgan, and being led by three bards, Mr. Edward Williams, Mr. Robert Davits, and Mr. Even Evans, was placed by them in the Birdie Chair, having been declared on account of his production to be worthy of sitting therein. With respect to the Prize Essays in the English language, the Rev. W. J. Rees, Rector of Casco!). was requested to deliver the judgment of the Rev. Cation Payne and the Rev. Thomas Williams. which was, that the composition on the ancient and present state of the Welsh Language. signed Cadoe op Groyollrto, was by far the best, and was fully entitled, ou uccouut of its merit. to the So ciety's premium. On the person being called for who had adopted the name. int Rev. John Hughes, author of " flora Brieitmoica," claimed it, who being a native stud resident of Brectn . great and jest applause was elicited from his fellow-towns. met►, and the various persons acquainted with bis merit. Mr. Hughes was then invested with the Prize Medal, and proceeded to read extracts from the Essay which proved his intimate acquaintance with the subject, sod •hewed the op iokia of the judges to be well founded. When Mr. Hughes concluded. the Rev. Archdeacon Davies signified Lis intention Or having the Essay printed et his sole expense, ail the hest compliment he could pry to its merit.. Respecting the Essay on the " Cre. dibility of the illiaracre at Shute how l and the identity and real (*borderer of the British Leader Ambrosias," it was shoed that the judgment would he delivered on the following day. The subject for the WO :01 Verses on a theatr e which was to be given out for t h e Society's premium nn the first day of the Eisteddlud, and the companion to he delivered in on the morning. of the second day, was stated to " The munificent patronage conferred on the Bards, and their descendants, partierlarly those of the House of Tredegar:" to which was •dtleil smo other subject for a similar purpose—" To the Memory of the late 7lteophilus Jones, Esq.. ft /mimic particularly to his seal it promoting Welsh Literature, and inseeeigethog the antivtities of his nutlet couolry." Mr. Edward Williams, the bard,eshen came fur. ward, end lietitiotied in behalf of William Harry. of Penderin, who bad brought up ten children. and in the midst of poverty had, notwithstanding, paid conaiderable attention to the literature of Isis country, amid whom he.recommeuded to the Society as a proper person to receive ous of its gratuities. After hearing the particulars they were referred to the consideration of the Committee. _ . The thanks of the Society were then proposed by the President to the Rev, the Archdeacon uf Bre con, for his zeal and exertions in contributing to the success of the Eisteddfod; after which. the meeting separated, highly delighted with the various proceedings that had taken plater. The company assembled were about 360 in panther. The concert, principally of Welsh music. com menced at seven o'clock, when the various per. formers exerted themselves with great effect. Mr. Parry sang, " 0! let the kind miastrel," with the great sweetnesa which the words and music require, end all the national feeling of a Cambrian for his native country, anal received thunders of applause. Miss Williams and Master Smith sang " itly pret ty Page," in the most delightful manner, and were much applauded. Airs with variations were next performed on two Welsh harps, by Mr. Henry Humphreys and Mr. William Hughes. which aliened the sweet and fine harmony the instrument is capable of. Miss Williams sung "Poor Ellen" in a delightful manner. " The Heroes ofeambria" was sung with great effect by Mr. J. Smith. • ttf noble race was Sheokiii," was given by Mr. Parry and Mr. Tinney in a manner which proved the noble effect of the nationil music when well performed. Master Smith was peculiarly sweet in 94 in infancy ear hopes." and afforded 110 small pleasure to the oudienice. The compeer/ were nest much amused with the singing of the " PenaillioN" with the %Vesh harp, after the manner of the Ancient Britons, and Mr. Parry introduced four stanzas in English,which were written and intended, among • variety of other haulm entertainments, to have been sung before his Majesty at Wynostay last year. Mr. J. Smith was most sweet in " Believe me if all those ;" and " Hob y deri de:filo," by Mr. Parry and bliss Williams, afforded the utmost gratification. A Welsh air. with va riations, by Mr. Davies, on the newly-invented Cambrian pedal harp, was performed with great brilliancy ; and the Chapati of the Bards was sung with noble effect by all the performers. " The living Eeho," by Master Smith, quite enraptured the audience ; anal Mr. Parry displayed astonishing execution on Bainbridge's double flageolet. accom parried by Mr. Hayter on the piane-forte. Mr. Collyer sung " Bring me the Moe" very sweetly, and the concert closed with our national anthem. "Cod save the King," in alternate English and Wel.h verges. The audience were about four hun dred, said beparuted much pleased with the enter tainment they had received. After the concert there was a ball at the Lion luii, which was well attended. The proceedings on Thursday morning com menced with the recitations of the Welsh 'tette... written on account of the Eisteddfod, which bed been deferred from the preceding day, when Bry chan Brychan Brycheittirog. Mr. David Saunders, Mr. Robert Davies, Mr. William Edwards, Mr. Thomas Jones, such Mr. William Jones, recited in succession their respective compositions. A copy of English verses on Cambrian Mtludy, written for the occasion. by Mr. Den 7 Davies, of Throgrnor ton-street, London, were delivered in a very ani mated manlier, and with great effect, by the Rev. W. J. Rees. The Report of the Judges respecting the English Essay. on the massacre at Stonehenge, was next read 11 the worthy ['maiden', which stated that the compositioa, signed Ithaindr Gwy, was the best, bat es the author had adopted a theory which was not supported by historical evidence, it was not deemed worthy of the premium ; and accordingly the subject was declared to be still open, and the premium should be awarded et the next Esteddfod at Carmarthen, or wherever it should be held. The adjudication of the medal proposed by the Gwy sseddigion in London not having arrived as was ex pected, the conferring of it was postponed. The medal of the Cyramrudorian Society, to Gwynedd. fur the best Ode on "His Majesty visiting Wales," which lied been awarded to Mr. William Edwards, was preseuted to him with the usual ceremony of investiture and recitation. When he had finished, Culouel Parry addressed the audience, and stated, that the successful competitor who had been just invested wish the medal, was may • poor miser, and was working with his hands among the rocks, while he was with his mind paying court to the Mum Mr. Williams, of Liverpool, next de• livered an Address on the subject of the Elated& fod, in the Welsh language, which much gratified the Cambrian part of the audience. The competition for the Silver Harp then began, when it was announced that there were only two competitors, Mr. Win. Williams sod Mr. Henry H•nsphreys. The Judges appointed to decide on the merits of the performers were. Mr. Parry, Mr. Hsyter, sod Mr. Owen Jones. Haring drawn lots for order of playing, Mr. Williams hail the prece dence, and the competitors having began, no small interest was excited in the audience ; each mope* titor was allowed to play two airs of his own chow. ing, and Mr. Williams commenced with " (If noble race scot Sheithin." with variations, which le., played very correctly, and in a manner which did him great credit ; this performance took up pewit minutes. Mr. Humphreys then came forward. aml Itleyed " Limy* ths," with variations, which took up five toinuier, and in hi• performance displayed great skill and execution. Williams otit chose the air stoeei Richard," to display his powers. end took six minutes in the performance. In playing this piece heehawed the same correctsess and abi lity as in the former instance. Humphreys nest chose " Ar hyd b No.r," in the perfurnsance of which he displayed great taste, science, and execu tion, which delighted all who heard him. On the Judges being called upon to deliver their judg ment, they awarded the silver harp to Humplireri, and the second meld to Williams, respeciiip , whom it was announced that only continued prac tice was wanting to render him a first-rate per former. The singing of Pennillion, or %elsh stanzas, for the premium which the Society had proposed to be given to the best performer, next took place, and Mr. Caldecot, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Robert Davies were chosen judges to decide on the merit.: of the competitors, who were Mr. Hugh Roberts. Evan Jones, and Richert' Williams. the latter of whom wrs blind, and apparently very poor. In the competition much entertainment was atlo►dedt to such of the audience as under,tood the language and the merits of the performers; ■nd the appear ance and manner of the blind bard excited such a disposition for charity in the ladies who were near, that a subscription for him was immediately let on foot, and upward* of six pounds collected. A collec tion was also made to defray the expenses of the other singera olio had come from a great distance in North Wales to exhibit their powers. The last air which Humphreys had played previous to the Sil ver Harp was again performed by him at the re qnest of the company. The Rev. Jona WILLIAIIS, of Lampeter, ad dressed the audience on the subject of the Society at considerable length, and with great ability. The worthy PRESIDENT also addressed the coot pony, and thanked them for honouring the meet ing with their presence; lie then recommended the next Eisteddfod to he held in the district of Dyfed, where he had DO doubt bat the proceedings would be carried on with great spirit as on a former occa sion. The lion. Mr. RICE, M.P. then spoke. said, that the Cambrian Society would hold Eisteddfod at Carmarthen. and it was the flan in tention of his father, Lord Dynevor. the Preri. dent. to attend, which was atacb his wish when it was last held there. The Rev. Daniel Evans addressed the meet ing on the subject of the Society with great fluency and elegance in tile Welsh language; as also did Archdeacon Davie■. the Rev. Thomas Price. red Colonel Parry, in English, and highly delighted all preaeut with the neatness of their remarks, the soundness of their arguments, and the eloquence of their diction. The genius of Cambria seemed awakened frum a lethargy, and displayed her powers in strains of oratory which delighted the company. When these Gentlemen had concluded, the meet ing separated, pleased with the spirit with which the proceedings were conducted. The number as sembled on this occasion was about 600, the Halt being completely crowded. At the commencement of the concert in the even. jug, the Rev. John Hughes declared that the Rev.

Davie., had been appointed to examine the merits of the Eng lrtius, on the subject proposed on the preceding day ; and that the suc cessful candidates on " The munificent patronage afforded to the Bards by Ivor Hoel and his descend - ants of the House of Tredegar," was the Rev.

The author of the best Englisa to " The memory of Theophilus Jones," was declared to be Mr. E. Evans, who came forward and recited his composition. When these proceedings were gone through, the concert commenced, when the performers exerted themselves with similar science and effect to that they displayed the preceding evening.

Mr. Smith sang " The Death of Lkwelyn" in so excellent a manner that lie was encored, and received great applause. Mr. 0. Da vies performed " Ye Banks and Braes," with varia tions, on the pedal harp, with peculiar excellence. Mr. Coliver sang " Ellen dear" very sweetly ; and Master Smith so pleased the audience in the " Cambrian Minstrel Boy," as to receive lend and continued applause ; he was also encored, but on its bring represented that he had several songs yet to sing, the company requested he would not repeat it. Mr. and Master Smith were much applauded in singing the beautiful duet of /toy's Wife."
