THB SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITONS.—The anni-
versary festival of this society took place yesterday evening
at the Freemasons' Tavern, and notwithstanding that 183
years have now passed over the society's head, earning for it
the character for antiquity to which its name aspires, there
was no want of youthful vigour in the proceedings. It must
surely be a popular fallacy which historians have been at
Such pains to preserve, that the ancient Britons wore driven
into the sea by their Saxon conqaerors, and exterminated
where the inaccessible mountains of Wales did not yield them
a shelter. Certain it is, that last night they appeared in
alarming strength, each wearing dauntlessly in his button-
hole the leek, that time-honoured badge of nationality
which Captain Llewellyn compelled ancient Pistol to swallow.
Lord Robert Grosvenor presided last night, in the room of
Lord Powis, who excused himself on the ground that it
would be painful to him to appear in public so soon after his
recent contest for the Chancellorship at Cambridge. The
Proceedings of the evening were of the usual character. The
customary loyal toasts were drunk, and then came " Pros-
perity to the Society of Ancient Britons." which the company
most warmly responded to. " The Army and Navy," and
" The Principality There was
Wales," were also among the toasts of
the evening.ecipients et the Sore' was a procession of the children, the
appearance attracted general
bounty, whose clean and orderly

who sang with greatt)illlce.de.appealing to the charitable
feeling of their audience. The iii:eshops of Worcester and St.
Asaph were present,
course of the evening ex-
pressed the warm interest vshicheti felt in the objects of
the charity. At the close of the proceedings a handsome
cretary, and Wm come

pang separated highly delighted with the manner in which
they closed the natal day of their patron saint, D
gallery of the Freemasons'• halt was crowded Waivttl. The
spectators of the festive scene, and if they could havleaddiiess:
engaged their thoughts from, the temptations to share in the
good things spread before tne company, must have enjoyed
the spectacle of so excellent a dinner as that furnished by
Mr. Bacon, the proprietor of the tavern. The other arrange-
ments were excellent, and altogether the evening passed off
most pleasantly.
A correspondent says he has seen and tasted some
Specimens of bread, made under the direction of Mr. Wilkins,
of Tworton, partly of carrot. Its flavour, he informs us, is as
good as that of wheaten bread, and as the expense is much
less, be thinks it would prove an admirable substitute.—Bath
Journal.
Sir David Brewster, Rev. Dr. Buchanan, and Mr. Dunlop,
had an interview yesterday with Sir George Grey, at the
Home Office.
