( The Lancers). Dancing having been kept up with the ut-
most vivacity till one o'clock, upwanls of 100 Ladies and Gen-

witnessed in this town.
After the usunl loyal toasts had gone round, and that of Col.
.Morland and his brave regiment had been drank with every
mark of respect, the health of Mr. Augustus Newton was drank
in the most distinguished manner. That Gentleman returned
thanks in a most handsome speech, and gave as a toast, " Mr.
Farquharson, his Fox-hounds, and the Sporting Gentlemen of
the County," which was drank with enthusiasm. The lively
dance was shortly afterwards renewed, and continued with in-

WYNEDIION.
The loyal and patriotic Cambrian G
Society, formed in 1771.
for the promotion of Welch Literature, Poetry, and Music, held
its Annual Festival on Monday, at the Woolpack Tavern,
Cornhill. where an excellent dinner was provided.
The Chairman, Jeremiah Evans, Esq. gave the tutualloasts
and sentiments of the Society, which were followed by appro...
priate songs, duets, and glees, by Messrs. Parry, Collyer,
Griffiths, Jones, &c aide by the sweet sounds'of the Welsh
Harp, to which the ancient mode of singing Pennilion by the
Members, added greatly to the interest of the scene.
The Chairman gave the health of the patriotic Sir W. W.
Wynn, and thanks to him for his annual present of venison ;
, wishing Min a safe return to the land of his forefathers, where
thousands would hail him with rapture.-7(Great applause.)
After " Success to the Guryneddigion had been given, the
Vice-President, Griffith Jones, Esq. (Secretary to the In-
ti tution). addressed the company in the Ancient British lan-
guage ; which, if we are to judge from the applause he met
with, and the glowing looks of those who understood him, must
have been extremely well done'; but, as we arc not fortunate
enough to be acquainted with the Welsh tongue, we cannot at-
tempt to give a report of what the Gentleman appeared to de-
liver with such ease, yet animation.
Munden was prevented, by indisposition, from attending ;
he sent an apology, stating, that he considered it a duty due to
the Theatre to which he belonged, to refrain from going any
where, which might be the cause of rendering him unable to
attend to his professional duties.
The healths of Lord Dynevor, Lord Kenyon, Sir Charles
Alorgan, Charles W. W. Wynn, Esq. the Bishops of St.
David's and St. Asaph, Sir E. P. Lloyd, s&c. were given with
every possible mark of respect.
Mr. Parry performed some beautiful Welch melodies, on
Bainbridge's double flageolot ; Mr. Collyer sung several bal-
lads with great sweetness, particularly " Sweet hlonw," which
was rapturously applauded.
The harmony and conviviality were kept up till a late hour,
and the company departed highly gratified.

An elopement has taken place in High Life,
which, when the particulars become known,,will
excite the greatest surprise.
MOREAU was famous for his retreats ; inso-
much, that his companions in arms compared him to a drum,
which nobody hears of except when beaten.
Father COTTON, the Jesuit, had acquired such
influence over Henry IV. of Prance, that it was a common
saying., that Henry was a good Prince, and loved to hear truth,
but that he had Cotton m his ears.

MA r.n ERRE, at a very advanced age, challenged
a young man who had killed his son in a duel. His friends
represented to him the rashness of his conduct, as he was then
so old. " For that very reason," said lllalherbe, " I will have
my revenge: I hazard only a sous against a pistole."
MARTIN CHASTELAIN, a native of Wartvidt,
Flanders, was blind from his birth, and yet was a most excellent
mechanic. He made organs and violins, and could both tune

idea of others by the finger." " Should you not like rather to
see the sky ?" " No," replied the blind man," I would rather

RENTS IN CUIRBERLAND.—Perhaps drere• is no
other part of Great Britain where the occupiers of land have con.
tinned to pay high rents so punctually as in this county—a cir-
cumstance entirely owing to the interspersion of small estates
with those of Noblemen and other great landed proprietori.—
The smaller land.owners, in these times of severe depression,
are speculating to become farmers, knowing that the stocking
and general out-fit of a farm could never have been done at
less cost; and that the prices of land produce are higher
in Cumberland than in any other county in England. These
small, proprietors, residing in their own county, and purchasing
the necessaries for theirestablishrnents mostly in the neighbour.
in districts, cause ,a domestic trade and circulation of money
unknown in many other places. Several farms have lately
been given up on account of exorbitant rents, the tenants
not having received front their landlords any promise of a sum.
dent abatement. These very farms have been since let to able
tenants for the same rents, and some at an advance. Upon the
whole, many members of Agricultural Societies, who have
visited this country, agree in stating, that the Cumberland far-
mers are of ail others the most shrewd and economical ma.
tigers, and evince great prudence and sound judgment in the
purchase and rearing of stock, and in disposing of it to the
best adVarttage.—(Carii4le Journal.)
