Kibtrpoot *tanbarbf TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH 9. 1852. DR. M'NEILE AND HIS ASSAILANTS HE who aspires to be a great man, would do well to reflect that he must pay a heavy penalty for the distinction. He is nominally a leader, but in reality a slave; he has the reputation of swaying the minds of the multitude, without the liberty to think for himself, unless his cogitations square with the abstraction called the conscience of a party. In our last number we gave a letter from the pen of the Rev. Canon NPNEILE, in which, like a sensible man, he advocated the plain principle of union among the various sections of his own party, and stated that he was ready, for himself,to sink the minor differences, in order to secure two repre sentatives for Liverpool who would be at once Churchmen and Conservatives. This announce ment has met with serious disapproval among the members of one section of this party, who hold that their views exclusively should he entertained by all candidates for the representation of the borough ; at least by all whom Dr. M‘NEILE can or may approve. It has also led to his views being called in question by the Courier. And a clerical correspondent has written to the Record; in two articles of which paper there is great lamentation about the supposed defection of a master in Israel. There are some men with whom it is difficult to reason, for they ignore frequently or habitually the axioms of common sense, upon which sound argu ments are based. It is a rule in reasoning that, "the greater the comprehension, the less the exten sion ;" or, in other words, the greater the number of qualities that must concur, the fewer the exam ples. Now, we are hardly in a position to prescribe twenty articles for the creed of a Liverpool M.P., when we are quietly submitting to men with only ten, and when those with fifteen are slow of ap pearing. Those who talk out of doors, do not know all the points where the shoe pinches. On the subject of the Maynooth grant, our own sentiments have been freely spoken, but we are aware that many, whose Protestantism is in no respect inferior to our own, take a different view. They believe that the agitation of the subject, at present, even though unsuccessful, will only aid in helping forward the scheme miscalled a " Catholic University," but which is, in reality, the founding of a Roman Catholic Collegiate Establishment. If the Maynooth question, therefore, is to be erected into a test, we separate these friends at once; or if none are to receive the impress of approval but the opponents of the National System of Education in Ireland, we divide the question similarly. Strange it is that those who coincide in the decision on the GORHAM case, now kick against a fair application of the principle laid down in that decision. There must always be a point where, though men may individually differ, they will yet agree in common ; a separation, in fact, between the essentials and the accidentals. The Anti-Maynooth advocates are numerous in Liverpool—Protectionists are, per haps, more so—Non-Tractarians are still more so —and the same may be said in an increasing ratio of Churchmen, Conservatives, and Protestants. If the Dissenters be as bitter against " Prelatists," or Churchmen against " Schismatics." as some of our friends are against Lord JOHN MANNERS, the battle of our common Protestantism is lost; and the motto of the evil one, divide et impera, will receive a painful exemplification in ourselves. By sinking the question of Church Government, for the time, neither party compromises his private and cherished principles ; and it is surely even more impolitic to agitate the peculiar views entertained of Church matters, among those who all hold con. sistently and conscientiously the thirty-nine articles. The carrying out of the principle of the objectors would lead to some very awkward results. A man of narrow views on Theology would not go to church at all, but would he classed with the masses of Heathenism that recognise no spirituality and no future. A man of one idea, and such monoma niacs are found everywhere, would divide the whole human family into friends and foes, or angels and demons, according as they thought with him or not. And we do not see how the human species could be preserved, for young men and maidens would not consent to tie the nuptial knot till they were conscious of possessing perfection. This is what the "consistency" would do, for which some cry out so lustily. They would divide the camp as they did at the last election, giving a vote to Lord JOHN MANNERS or Sir DIGBY MACKWORTH, and the other to one of our present representatives. They would reject a Pro testant, and perhaps get a Romanist; they would throw overboard a worthy companion in arms of Lord DERBY, to take a double-tongued Peelite or a slippery Whig; in short, they would vote against SOLOMON for not possessing sufficient wisdom, and then thank their stars for REHOBOAM. The Roman Catholics in general play a safer game. They are not put to the trouble of thinking for them selves ; by surrendering private judgment to the law of authority, they vote in unison as directed. Sometimes, however, they take a pet, and throw the advantage into their opponent's hand. They opposed "the brutal and the bloody Whigs," de claring that " Scorpion STANLEY or SATAN would he preferable" ; but the very association of such titles shows how hollow the sincerity. They left the House of Commons in a body one evening, and within an hour the Ecclesiastical Titles' Bill had gone against them. We speak as to wise men ; we warn them not to fight the battles of opponents, but on the contrary fas est ab poste doceri. In these remarks we have said nothing respect ing the opinions advanced by Dr. 111`NEILE on any former occasion; for though it is allowable to he wiser to-day than we were yesterday, there are many who think that it is sufficient condemnation for a man to have advocated two views of any subject at two different pericds. We have directed our atten tion only to the sentiments advocated in his letter of the 6th February, sentiments which, notwith standing all that has been said upon the subject, have our hearty concurrence. When we hear the nonsense that has been said and written about " a standard bearer fainting," we reply that there are canting sectarians and wily Jesuits who would sell both Church and State, and then say that they did it through tenderness of conscience. Dr. WNEILE has addressed the following let- TO THE EDITOR OF THE RECORD Sin,—As you consider my opinion of sufficient conse quence to write so strongly against it, as you have done, in one of your leading articles yesterday, do you not think . . it would be but fair to give insertion to my letter, even at some inconvenience, and thus allow your readers to judge for themselves, whether or not my reasoning is " incon clusive and misapplied ?" I observe that in another leading article in the same paper, you advocate the opinion that " the best system" (of National Education, a subject yielding to none in vital importance) " h9wever is, not that which approaches nearest to an abstract perfection, but that which is most suited to our actual circumstances." Ot course you mean, not the best absolutely, but the best attainable in our own circumstances, and therefore the wisest for our present adoption. In this lam happy entirely to concur with you. By printing these few lines, and also my letter, which will explain its own circumstances and tell its own tale, you will at least be dealing fairly Ly me. There may, after all, be some real difference between your opinion and mine; but is it. such, as to make it judicious in you to sound an alarm in our Protestant camp, announcing that a " standard-bearer has fainted ?" Ido not pretend to be a standard-bearer, but I beg to assure you that, so far from fainting, I was n3ver better, or stro-ger, or hap pier, or more " every inch a Protestant" than 1 am to day.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, Liverpool, March 2, 1852. HUG n M'NEILE. THE TACTICS OF THE " OPPOSITION." So great a collection of paradoxes has seldom been seen as the Free-trade writers and speakers are just now delivering. Protection they are all agreed "is dead"—dead and buried, and really if it is not, they are placed in a strange position. Should it turn out to be alive after Mr. COBDEN was paid so handsomely for killing it, after the Times was feted for assisting at the slaughter, after Sir ROBERT PEEL was driven from office for his actually accomplishing the deed, who will believe in future without a satisfactory inquest before the whole nation at the hustings assembled ? The truth is, that Protection is not dead—any more than any true principle of political science, or any other science, can ever die. Nor do the League and the Times consider it dead. They attribute to it the virtue that King EDWARD did to his name, when he bade them carry his skeleton against the Scotch. They look, so to speak, for a display of posthumous vigour on behalf of the Country Party, that will need thousands of pounds and furlongs of speeches to rebut. The Times is angry with Mr. COBDEN for seeking again those troublous times in which alone a flippant man can take the place of abler and better leaders. Mr. COBDEN, in endeavouring once more to convulse the country, is " a wise thing for himself." The power to agitate and the power to administer are two very different qualifi cations. They always have been and always must be separate. Mr. COBDEN, therefore, on however erroneous grounds he may try to raise it, must, if he is to be heard of at all, get up a storm. It is not important to what extent tranquillity may be disturbed, or how untruly the intentions of those in power may be exhibited. The staff of the League see the prospect of the glorious days of '44 and '45, and it will not be their fault if they do not cause them to return. They have been going about since Sir ROBERT PEEL, in evil hour for them, " took them at their words," like the disbanded army that made the Restoration, anxious for any mischief that may be the first to turn up. And, to do them justice, their programme, so far as they have made it out, promises as handsome a quantity of factious disturbance as ever weighed down the energies of a nation. First, they will attempt to make the present Parliament, by the factious motion of Mr. VILLIERS (brother of the ex-lord lieutenant of Ireland, the friend of BIRCH and "law and order"), pledge itself that it will stand by its own decisions as to free trade. Whether that motion fails or succeeds, in no way affects the Ministry. Lord DERBY declares that he does not count upon the House of Commons. He does not attribute to it the baseness of stultifying itself. Mr. COB DEN, however, and Mr. VILLIERS (who Mr. COBDEN certifies is no way factious), will have the majority of the House of Commons to say, " We have, it is true, pledged ourselves half a dozen times to free trade--but as Mr. COBDEN and Mr. VILLIERS will not take our word, we must do so once more. They look on our previous assurances as nothing, and as nothing can come of nothing, we must speak again." Such is the first part of the plan. The second of course is to oppose Lord DERBY at the hustings to the death—but here a wholesome fear seems to exist that the Minister may have a very decided majority in spite of all their efforts. This, it is perfectly clear, they look to and anticipate. What then Why a new Reform Bill—an importation of the democratic element. Fleetere si neque superior, Acheronta Movebo To judge from the meetings that the Leaguers have already held in London, the Chartists are not very likely to do them any considerable amount of good ; and supposing their new Reform Bill car ried, and something like Universal Suffrage esta blished, will the suffering trades that are sinking under the combined effects of foreign competition and the impoverishment of the landed interest, join in making a COBDEN ministry? Judging from the experience of 1842, they will do nothing of the kind ; and then Mr. COBDEN comes at last to no other resource than a coup d'etat—the banishment of the legislature and the suppression of the press. He has indeed formed a very poor opinion of the progress of affairs. The Parliament is not to be trusted—the constituencies are not to be trusted. The press is not to be trusted—in fact, nothing is to he trusted but Mr. COBDEN and the old staff of the League, and the nation is to shut its eyes and see what they will send it. Now, Mr. COBDEN and his friends are griev ously mistaken if they fancy that the nation will take the character of the new administration from his lips, or deny credence to Lord DERBY'S own words or his authority. Notwithstanding half a century of Whig agitation, faction is still disagree able to the English mind ; and who cannot see it in the attempt to embarrass a ministry which comes into power, to save the country from t he anomalous position of having no government at all? Already temperate men are looking on Mr. COBDEN as playing a self-interested part. His factious attempt to convulse the country will have no general effect. The Times, an excellent barometer of public opi nion, has deserted him, and plainly insinuates that he thinks more of himself than of his country. As far as their proceedings have at present gone, the Anti-Corn Law League have, in Parliament at least, been doing service to the administration of the Earl of DERBY. At one time they had no other reproach than that of being anxious to found and form a new party in politics. Now they have identified themselves with a defunct party, and an un-English factiousness of conduct. THE SHERIFF'S CHAPLAIN. WE have examined, but in vain, for any authority empowering the Sheriff of a county to appoint a chaplain, beyond mere custom and ordinary cour tesy. The practice is unknown in Scotland, as may be supposed ; but in Ireland, where the laws in this respect are identical with those of England, the assize sermon is almost invariably preached by some prominent clergyman of the assize town. We have no doubt that the practice arose from the fact, that almost every squire, knight, baronet, or peer, who is selected to perform the duties of High Sheriff, is possessed of Church patronage in some parish or chapelry on his own property. It was natural that the clergyman who was the object of the Sheriff's choice should have conceded to him the pulpit of the church at which the Judges attend ; but he has no legal right to appear there, and the ordinary incumbent can at at any time prohibit him, though a clerk in priest's orders of the United Church. In the case of a Roman Catholic there is a double im possibility, even if the appointment of a Sheriff's Chaplain were authorised by statute, viz., that Ist, Roman Catholics do not usually possess church pa tronage, and 2nd, that whether or not, no Roman Catholic priest is so appointed by a layman in this country. He may reside in the family of a Sheriff or of any one else, performing religious duties; or he may celebrate mass at the chapel which that gen tleman attends usually or occasionally;—but he is not and cannot be a " Chaplain," in the legal sense of that term. The good citizens of London have the election of their Sheriff in their own hands ; and last autumn, when it was thought that the opposition to a Roman Catholic Sheriff arose from an uncharitable feeling, there was a reaction which placed the objectionable candidate in office. A few days after, he showed the amount of his respect for public decency and public feeling, by an act of aggression worthy of the Cardinal. He introduced a Roman Catholic priest at the Mansion House, in the garb of his clerical rank, no doubt; but which, being usually restrained within stone walls and closed doors, ap peared to the astonished spectators like the tom foolery of theatrical decoration. It was regarded by the party as a triumph; it was simply a gross violation of good taste, and a flagrant abuse of established courtesy. In Buckinghamshire the Sheriff for the present year is Mr. SCOTT MURRAY, a renegade Protestant; and he was at some pains to procure a priest called MORRIS, also a renegade, who was quasi chaplain quasi legally appointed. The Sheriff hoped it would not be interpreted to mean any disrespect if he ab sented himself from church ; and the Judges, of course, replied assuring him that they expected no such violence to his conscience. Upon th;s, how ever, be installs Mr. MORRIS, in the full costume of his order, in the same carriage with Mr. Justice CROMPTON, deserting his lordship at the church door, and rejoining him in time to gratify the gazers from the church to the court-house. Lord CAMP BELL severely rebuked the act in open court, in his address to the Grand Jury, and the latter expressed their approval of the remarks, a report of which will be found in another page. In 1837 we did not find that Sir MOSES MONTE FIORE introduced a circumcised Rabbi to instruct the aldermen and common council-men, on the ab surdities of the Gospel history or the niceties of a Hebrew dagesh. We venture to believe that if OLIVER COWDERY, the Mormon apostle and poly gamist, were Sheriff, he would not obtrude the " loves of the Angels" into this country; and even OWEN the Socialist would not annoy "the young person called the Queen" nor any of her subjects, by trying to reduce us to the bondage of a happy family. It is surely not unreasonable to suppose that a Roman Catholic gentleman, whenever he may be selected by the Judges and pricked off by the Queen, will show at least as much respect for the laws and institutions of this country. Mr. WELD BLUNDELL, of Ince, the present Sheriff of this county, is a thorough gentleman, and a mem ber of stn ancient and honourable Roman Catholic family, which produced Cardinal WELD, and which has contributed in no small degree to the cultiva tion of the fine arts. We cannot believe that be will forget himself as Mr.MURRAY has done, though there was a good deal of irritation some months ago, respecting the election of a county coroner. But if it should be so, their lordships, we trust, will vindicate their own position, and maintain the spirit of the constitution. It would perhaps be better for Mr. LAWRENCE to take his own place in the pulpit of St. Luke's, and thus put an end to the farce of chaplaincy, so liable to be converted into a nuisance; or the Judges may refuse to sit with any one in the carriage who has no legal right to be there, The Sheriff cannot ineist on whatever corn._ panionship he pleases, for the representatives of the Queen ; but if miscellaneous company are ad mitted, we must claim a seat for Mr. CALCRAFT, a fellow-labourer; with the insignia of his office, a well-soaped hempen cord. THE HEAD CONSTABLE ON Wednesday, the Town Council, notwithstand ing Mr. DOWLING'S errors, authorised the Watch Committee to give him a retiring pension of £2OO a-year. Mr. DOWLING accordingly resigned. The Watch Committee, meaning no harm to Mr. DOWLING, and certainly not seeing the effect which their resolution would produce, did not accept this resignation, but left the decision entirely in the hands of the magistrates. The Town Council, as a whole, disapproving strongly of recent events, were yet so indulgent to a tried public servant of twenty years' standing, that they voted the pension, though they were responsible to their constituents for all such votes. The magis trates, however, had the whole subject in their hands on Thursday—they agreed to dismiss Mr. DOWLING—and as no retiring allowance can be voted to one who is thus cast off from his connexion with the force, the pension is gone too. Superin tendent TOWERSON was dismissed also. We do not mean to impugn the correctness of the vote in eithercase; but the punishment, though apparently equal, is real ,y not so. They dismiss a man whose resignation was lying before them, and one who had no thought of resigning. They send upon the world one utterly incapable of undertaking public duties elsewhere, and one who labours under no physical debility. They dismiss one man, and they dismiss another, cutting off from the latter at the same time £2OO per annum. Supposing that Mr. DowLING's life is worth ten years' purchase—for asthmatic people are long lived—he is practically fined £2,000 along with the loss of his situation. He greatly erred, and has greatly suffered ; but surely, the public, who are undesigneffly and unex pectedly the gainers in this matter, will try to remedy this occurrence. It has been suggested that Mr. DOWLING be re-appointed, in order to secure to him the retiring allowance ; and we be lieve that even the magistrates, who performed with strictness a most unpleasant duty, would not be sorry to see that done. We are much indebted to Mr. TOBIN for his manly speech on Wednesday,respecting the attempt to smuggle a new Head Constable into the borough. We understand it all. A certain set thought to settle the jobbing quietly, and to implicate a majority ; they then called in the press to their aid, and had the measure advocated. But as soon as they saw that the press and the public were almost unanimous against them, they fled from their nominee with very little ceremony. It was of no small importance to the town that the press spoke out promptly and fearlessly respecting this dis reputable movement. MR. T. B. HORSFALL, ON the afternoon of yesterday, a deputation, composed of some of our most respectable merchants, waited upon Mr. HORSFALL , with the view of inducing him to reconsider his refusal to be put in nomination for Liverpool. We are sorry to say that they were not successful, and that his negative may now be regarded as final. After the report of the deputation was known on 'Change, the name of another merchant of high standing was mentioned, as we understood, with great approval. As this is only a rumour, there can be nothing premature in mentioning the name of Mr. CH ARLES TURNER. UNION OF PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS THERE are some men in the world so apathetic, that they continue to act as they have been in the habit of doing ; and thus their experience amounts to persistence in im. perfection. There are others who are so fond of figuring as officers, that they create or support petty institutions in order to retain their own importance. And there are a few amiable and worthy men with whom we can by no means coincide, who think that the energy of individual societies, on a small scale, counterbalances the disadvantages of separate costs and management, the annoyances of rival ship, and the want of moral weight. Our attention has been drawn to the subject by a series of concurrent facts. For several years the Rev. Dr. BAYLEE, of St. Aidan's, has been maturing a plan for increased visitation of the Poor in Liverpool, but it is not yet complete nor in ope ration. The design was to raise a large sum of money by small payments, for the support of a large number of Visiting Clergy, Dr. BAYLEE himself being the Director. About £lOO has been collected already, but there is no positive assurance of a steady income. In the mean while, the Clergy of Liverpool have decided that their in creased visitation shall be by laymen, they have esta blished a Scripture Readers' Association, it has certain prospects, and it is already in full operation. It is evi dent, therefore, that the support which was promised to Dr. BAYLEE, in good faith, will be turned -in most in- stances, or in all, into the new direction ; and, therefore, the propriety of amalgamating his scheme with some al ready-existing one is no longer doubtful. If he prefer the portion of it which requires increased visitation, the funds might be united with those of the Scripture Rea ders' Association ; while, if he attach much importance to clerical visitors, his society could be made auxiliary to the Pastoral Aid or Curates' Aid Society. We have heard that one or two meetings have been held to bring about a union of the Dispensaries in the town. There is the ancient and valuable institution known as the Dispensaries (North and South), and the vigorous, but more modern one, called St. Anne's Dis pensary ; yet, for want of concentration, they cover in part the same ground, and discharge in duplicate the same du ties. We know well the excellence of all the three Dis pensaries, and the energy and economy with which they are worked. With an unreasonable prejudice against them in the minds of several of the public, they relieve more than ten times as many as the llnsnitnla of th. town, and are deserving of a much better degree of sup port than they have ever yet received. A union could eumbine 181 existing advantages with others yet untried ; but if the crotchets of any of the committees should pre vent it, they will all regret it in the end, and the town will be the sufferer. A legacy left to " the Dispensaries" will be claimed by the two oldest, and by all three ; and, after an interesting but costly action at law, it will be de cided that the oyster is most excellent, each of the claim ants being entitled to a shell, on payment of their respec tive costs. A few intelligent and spirited gentlemen at Warrington are desirous to procure a reunion there, during the spring, of all the societies in the two counties which embrace the subject of antiquity. There is the Chetham Society in Manchester, the Historic Society of Liverpool, the Ar chaeological Society of Chester, and the Natural History and Antiquarian Society of Wirrington. It is a step in the right direction, and might eventually lead to a union of two or more. The great success of a conversazione, lately held at New castle.upon-Tyne, under the auspices of the Literary and Philosophical Society there, has suggested that a similar meeting might be held in Liverpool, under the manage ment of a committee from the councils of the four learned societies of the town. It would be easy to combine, in short papers, the distinctive subjects of inquiry ; and a l so to give some other subject not usually embraced by any of them. It would also tend to foster the fraternal sym. pathies and community of kind feeling which should always exist; and might remove the impediments to a union of two or more of them. The present is not a fitting time to allude to the some what painful subject of a union of Museums ; but to that we must eventually come. We cannot, of course, foretel the date, as we do not know how long men may be in perceiving the beauty of enlarged views and great general principles ; but of the simple fact the only doubt is, that it may be postponed till its value is lost. appears that id the Medical School of this town there is an important deficiency; for while the ordinary instructions take place at the Royal Infirmary, there is no opportunity there for acquiring an acquaintance with the important subject of Clinical Midwifery. We merely state the fact, entertaining no doubt that an arrangement could easily be made with the Committee of the Hospital in Pembroke-place, by which the students might have the advantages of this branch of education, under the same central authority that regulates the other portions of their course.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang, arrived here at ten o'clock yesterday morning from New York, with dates from that city to the 25th ult. inclusive, 33 passengers and 681,000 dollars specie in freight, The steam-ship Cambria reached Boston via Halifax on the 23d ult., and the City of Glasgow arrived at Phi ladelphia, after a passage of 19 days on the 24th. By this arrival there is not any news of importance. From Washington we hear that the cabinet had been engaged in investigating serious charges against the gover nor and chief justice of New Mexico. General Butler had defined his position as a candidate for the presidency, giving his opinion on the comp! oa►ise measures, and repu diating all free soil predilections. It was said that this pronunciamento had caused great excitement among the resident candidates. Private letters received in New York, dated Mexico City, Jan. 31, mention that the Tehuantepec treaty had been rejected by the Mexican Congress. The Mexican papers, however, do not speak of this. The House of Deputies had read for the second time the proposition for a railroad from Mexico to Vera Cruz. From Hayti we have advices to the 6th ult. Owing to the holydays and the rainy weather, but little coffee was arriving. The market price for that article is 86 dollars currency per 100 lbs. Logwood abundant at 22 dollars per 100 lbs. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK, FEE. 25, The money market continues easy, and the rates " on call" are 6to 7 per cent. per annum. First-class paper discounts at from 7 to 8 per cent., and other descriptions at from 9 to 12 per cent. per annum. The demand for exchanges for this steamer has not been active, and the rates are scarcely so high as durity , the past week. We quote London bills 110 to 1101. pression and disappointment to , holders of this staple, and sales have been made of ordinary to middling at a decline of one-eighth of a cent. The business is still to a fair extent, and holders meet the market freely. The sales since the departure of the Pacific have been 8,000 bales. BREADSTUFFS.—The Cambria's advices have depressed the market. With continued high freight and a disposition on the part of speculators to realise, prices for State and Ohio receded 64 cents but towards the close of business yesterday. freights having given way, the market became firmer, though no im provement in rates was established. The better grades are in request for home use at well-supported prices. Canada is of fered rather more freely, and is less firm. Wheat is steady, and Indian corn neglected, so that holders are disposed to accept lower rates. FROVISIONS.—Beef is in active request at full prices. Pork in moderate demand. Lard sold steadily at 9 to 9hc. for good to prime. Butter and cheese are wanted, and sell readily at ateikroriNt e .The market is quiet, with small sa l es, S co t c h p i g at . 821 • a nd 300 tons English bars, 334, si x mon th s .

The steamer's news has checked the demand, holders refusing to concede a reduction. Teta TH EATRES.-Mr. Silsbee's engagement terminated on Saturday evening, the attendance at the Amphitheatre during the week having been very good. The operatic entertainments at the Theatre Royal also closed on that night, but the company have removed to the Amphitheatre. where they will continue to play during the ensuing week. -" ANOTHER BARDIC CONGRESS.~ commend to the notice of our readers the efforts of the Committee of the Liverpool Eisteddfod to promote the cultivation of literary talent among their countrymen. To-morrow evening, the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, will be the scene of a very pleasing ceremony—the award of prizes for the best essays on the " Last Half Century." To grace the occasion, and lend a charm to the proceedings, an assembly or " congress" of bards will also be held, when some of the most renowned in Welsh literature and oratory will deliver addresses, not only in their native tongue, bat also in the English language. A baron of beef will be served at the Merchants' Din ing ROOM this day ; another on Thursday.—See adv.
