A WELSH VOT,UNTEER CORPS FOR

EVERTON.

Last evening a meeting of Welshmen was held in
the Welsh schools, in Prince Edwin-street, for the pur-
pose of furthering- the formation of a division in con-
nection with the 39th Lancashire Pifles, in the north
end of the town. Notwithstanding the inclement nature
of the weather, the attendance was largo and influen-
tial. A detachment of :the 39th was present, and Mr.
Ellis Jones was voted to the chair.

After an apologetic letter from Mr. J. B. Lloyd had

,eeti read,

Mr. Rienkutn U tgFFITHS, in an energetic speech, pro-
posed, and Mr. Williams seconded, the formation of a
division for Everton.

On the motion of Mr. Bracken, it was determined to
place the new company on the same footing as the
original one.

Mr. Wx. JONEs, in seconding the foregoing resolu-
tion, regretted the unfavourable state of the weather,
which prevented a larger number from attending the
meeting.

Dr. Glades asserted that every free people should be
tutored to the use of arms, for the reason that no nation,
whatever its bravery, could otherwise contend with
trained forces. He looked upon the volunteer move-
ment in its relation with Wales not as an sffort to
maintain nationality, but a demonstration of admira-
tion of the existing British institutions. He concluded
by moving that the expenses .attending the enrolment
of volunteers be defrayed by snhscriptions not exceeding
10s. per month.
Mr. W. ROBERTS, in seconding the motion, remarked
that, in an economical point of view, the Welsh corps
presented greater attractions for intending volunteers
than any in the town.
The motion was put to the meeting, and carried.

Mr. JABEZ JONES, in an eulogistic speech, moved
"That this meeting expresses a hope that the Welsh
residents, particularly in this part of the town, will take
advantage, without delay, of the opportunity offered
them to enrol, so that the loyalty of the 70,000 Welsh-
men of Liverpool should be manifested by as large a
number of representatives as swell the ranks of any
national volunteer corps in the town."
This motion was seconded by Lieutenant Jones, who
remarked that the Welsh corps (the 39th), numbered
at present 110, and he supposed that by establishing a
division in Everton, a much larger number would yet
enrol.

After some remarks by Mr. Henry Jones, the motion
was put to the meeting and carried.
Three cheers for Captain Griffiths followed, and that
gentlemen explained that it was competent for the
Everton Volunteers to elect their own officers if they
chose, as he and his brother officers had no other object
in view than the augmentation of the volunteer ranks
A vote of thanks to the chairman and cheers for the
Queen brought the meeting to a close.
