A LES,

The tong- projected road from gewton to
Builih, which forms a direct line between North and South
Wales, and the nearest route from Liverpool to Swansea, is at
length couipleied. The opening of the toad took place on the
2d inst. and as benefits of great importance arc anticipated
therefrom, both to the inhabitants of the district through
which it passes, and to the public in general, it was thought
fit that the event should be marked by some ceremonies suits.,
ble to the occasion. Accordingly the Royal Dart stag_e-conch,
which is to run weekly on the line of road between Newtown
and Llandrindtxl "%Veils, during the summer:Months, commenced
running on that day, and on its arrival at Llanbiater it was
met by the gentry and a large concourse of people of the sur-
rounding district, the coachman and horses were decorated
with ribbons, a procession was formed, and loud end hearty
cheers. were given by the whole company. The party then ac-
companied the coach in its route, and when it came to the bridge
newly built over the Camddwr, the loud cheering was repeated.
They then 'proceeded on the road to Llandewi
he ,at which place
and the coach in e cOursaof the after-
the procession stopped,
noon went to the place of its destination: As the lahouring men

who had worked on the road had conducted' themselves during
their stay in the district, in a peaceable, quiet, and praiseworthy
na
entered, into, by the gen-
eafrsalythsthcreiPetitirenee was
ral
olflhaenexlYcellent dinner, which was
rravided for such as were present, amounting to about one hun-
dred, at Llantlesvi, a repast which they gratefully partook of,
and where they spent the evening with great cheer illness and
good humour. The amount of the subscription also enabled
them to be 'regaled on the following day with bread and cheese,
and a hogshead of ale, at Penybont. All the proceedings on
.this interesting occasion were excellently conducted by W. D.
Field, Esq. and the Rev. E. Powell. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed on Wm. Pugh, Egg. of Bvialowarch, Montgomery-
shire, for his indefatigable labours in effectin_g the completion
of the road, through whose patriotic zeal and unwearied per-
severence, difficulties the most disheartening were overcome,
and obstacles the most discouraging were removed; indeed his
exertions were deemed to have contributed so essentially to the
attainment of the object, as to be marked in a very distinguish-
ed manner among the proceedings of the day, his name was
mentioned with no small respect, and his meritorious conduct
was applauded with great enthusiasm. We feel disposed also
to remark, that a portion of the road, from the picturesque part
of the country through which it passest will be not a little ad-
mired by those who are fond of beautiful scenery; and as the
line communicates with the canal at.Newtown, which has a
communication with the sea and navigable rivers and canals of
the north of England, it is calculated that it would ultimately
become the track of conveyance of heavy goods from the menu-
facturingcounties to a considerable part of the sonthern portion
of the Principality._
