THE DUKE OF SUSSEX IN WALES.

DENBIGH EISTEDDFOD.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday were memo-
rable days in the history of the county of Denbigh,
and that of the Principality. The Duke of Sussex
having been on a tour, visited the mansion of Co-
lonel Hughes, at Kinmel, where his Royal Highness
was solicited to attend the Congress of Bards and
Minstrels at Denbigh. The Royal Duke gave his
willing assent.
Early on Wednesday morning the Eisteddfod
Committee assembled in the Hall, and proceeded,
accompanied by the Royal Denbigh band of music,
in due order to meet his Royal Highness. At half-
past twelve the Royal Duke arrived in the carriage
of Colonel Hughes, drawn by six beautiful greys,
and attended by four servants mounted on greys :
in the same carriage sat Lady Harriet Wynn, Lady
Mostyn, and Mrs. Hughes of Kinmel. The private
carriage of his Royal Highness, and that of Sir
Edward Mostyn, Bart. (the President), with four
greys, were followed by those of Sir W. W. Wynn,
Bart., and a long line of others. When the car-
riages halted, the Recorder of the borough, J. W.
Griffith, Esq. of Garn, read an address, to which
his Royal Highness made a suitable reply.
The procession then moved into town, and as-
cended the rocky acclivity, on the top of which
stand the splendid ruins of Denbigh Castle, where
the Eisteddfod had been opened and held on the
preceding day. In a large area within the castle walls,
DOW used as a bowling-green (formed into walks,
and embowered with shrubs and evergreens), a plat-
form was eiected, and an awning overhead. In the
centre of the platform sat the Duke, the President
of the Eisteddfod on the one hand, and Sir Watkin
on the other, surrounded by nearly 300 ladies in
splendid dresses, and gentlemen of that and the sur-
rounding counties. In front sat nearly 700 ladies
and gentlemen.
The contests for the prizes now commenced.
After the prizes had been awarded, several ladies
and gentlemen were introduced to the Royal Duke,
who then took leave of the company. From Kinmel
the Duke visited the Menai-bridge, Rhyll, and
other places in the principality, and is expected at
Eaton, the seat of the Earl Grosvenor, and at Chester.

DENBIGH EISTEDDFOD AND MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

Tuesday—The procession to open the Eisteddfod
with the accustomed ceremony consisted of the Pre-
sident, the Vice-President, the. Members of the
Cymmrodorion Society, the Bards and Minstrels,
the Friends of the Meeting, the Royal Denbighshire
Military Band, &c. Having arrived at the Castle,
the usual ceremony took place, when the assembly
adjourned to the Bowling-green.
Sir EDWARD MosTYN rose and said, that as the
chief and tole wish of his heart was to make himself
useful to his neighbours, he had with pleasure ac-
cepted the honourable office of President.
Mr. John Blackwell, 8.A., read a letter from Mr.
Thomas Moore (author of Irish Melodies, &c.), ac-
knowledging the honour conferred on him by hav-
ing been appointed an honorary member of the
Cymmrodorion Society in Gwynedd. Another
from Mr. Southey, making a similar acknowledg-
ment, and adding that it was " peculiarly gratifying
to him, because one of the works by which he hoped
to be remembered related to Wales." Another
from Sir Walter Scott, making a like acknowledg-
ment," If by any unforeseen chance 1
ingEngland, I will be present at the Eis-
ehaddlifbe ii di
Eis-
teddfod. adding,
it is scarcely probable, considering
tkat the distance is so great between Gwynedd and
Strathaven."

Among the prizes was, one for the best English
Essay,
.containing " An Historical Account of the
Flintsture Castles," a premium of seven guineas,
and a medal of th• value of three guineas, to Miss

Anghared Lloyd,ofraerwyg—a name not unknown
to Welsh literature.

Wednesday.—After his Royal Highness the Duke
of Sussex was seated, the prize proposed on the pre-
ceding:, evening for the best Englyn on the visit of
the Royal Duke, was adjudged to Catwg,—namely,
Griffith Williams, alias Bardig Griff. Penis, who read
the composition.

The Rev. Mr. Price was called upon to announce
that the prize of the gold harp was about to be con-
tested.

There were only two candidates, viz., Rhys Jones
of Llanrwst, formerly of Liverpool, who performed
" the Rising of the Lark ;" and Richard Roberts, of
Carnarvon, who played " Sweet Richard." The
prize was awarded to the latter, and the Duke of
Sussex invested him with his reward.

CONCERTS AND ORATORIO.

Tuesday and Wednesday.--Very excellent and
judicious selections of songs, airs, and duets, were
performed in the Town-hall. Early in the per-
formance on Tuesday much merriment was excited
by a worthy Cambrian, who had been more ac-
customed to his national music and songs than the
vocal and instrumental melody of English concerts,
and who took his departure, shaking his head and
saying—" I like singing and drinking by turns ;
but I see here it's all sing and no drink, and that
will never do l No, no; that will never do." Yes-
terday a performance of sacred music took place in
St. Hilary's Chapel.

MR. STEVENS' IMPROVED PADDLE-

WHEELS.

We yesterday witnessed some experiments made
by Mr. Stevens, for the purpose of ascertaining the
power of his improved paddles, and we must say
that it appeared to us that these paddles cannot fail
to supersede altogether the paddle-wheels now so
universally in use. In order to shew why it is that
we arrive at this conclusion, it will be necessary to
notice the disadvantages which attend the operation
of the paddle-wheel, and which are altogether ob-
viated by the invention of Mr. Stevens. As the
wheel is driven round, a certain portion of the
power employed must be exerted to force each
paddle into the water before it comes to that point at
which its power of propulsion commences, and the
power thus exerted is obviously wasted, or worse
than wasted, as it gives to the vessel a vibrating
motion, which must, in some measure, retard its
progress. Again, when each paddle conies to that
point at which its power of propelling ceases, then
an additional degree of power is wasted in forcing it
out of the water, proportioned to the size of the
paddle and the weight of the water between that
point and the surface. Another important defect
is, that though there is no limit to the rapidity at
which the wheel:may be driven round, yet there is a
limit beyond which the power applied is of no use,
or rather is worse than useless. The utmost num-
ber of revolutions. which can be given to the paddle
wheel, to work properly, is twenty-five in a minute.
If a greater number are given, the motion of the
vessel is retarded. The reason of this is sufficiently
obvious—the paddles follow each other, and each
takes a portion of water away from its successor,
and this water, so taken away, must, of course, be
in proportion to the rapidity with which the wheel
moves—the greater the celerity of the wheel, the
less time is there for the water to be replaced, so
that beyond the twenty-five revolutions, so much
water will be removed that the resisting power will
be decreased, for the paddles will be turning
almost in a vacuum. There is yet another evil
attending the paddle-wheel. The surf which it in-
variably leaves behind it is dangerous to wherries
on the river, and in canals is destructive t• the
banks, so that they are seldom allowed to be used in
these latter. The last evil which we shall notice is,
the resistance which the paddle boxes must occasion
in going against the wind.
Mr. Stevens's plan is calculated to obviate all
these evils. His paddles act precisely in the same
way as the paddle of the Indian in his canoe. The
puddles enter the. water edgeways, and each paddle,
(there are three at each side) being without its fel-
low, it follows that each must have its full power ex-
erted in propelling the vessel, for it moves in its
own sphere and none of the water is taken away
from it by those beside it. When its power of pro-
pulsion is exhausted, it is then drawn back out of
the water, precisely as the Indian draws back his
paddle after each stroke, by which means it leaves
the water in the boat's wake almost perfectly
smooth. This is a great object attained, and one
which cannot fail to bring it into general use upon
canals. None of the power exerted is here lest, for
it is all exerted in propelling the vessel—and there
being no paddle-boxes, because no spray, the resist-
ance in going against the wind is reduced three-
fourths. Another advantage is, that you may have
as many revolutions as you can possibly get, and all
must confer additional celerity, because there is
always the same degree of resistance, which is not the
case, as we have already shewn, in the common pad-
dle-wheel. In the experiments efyesterday, the paddles
were placed on a boat of eighteen tons, and with a
force equal to one-horse of power it was propelled
at the rate of four miles and a half an hour. The
paddle wheel belonging to the boat was then placed
at one side of the boat, having eight paddles at-
tached to it, and the three paddles of Mr. Stevens
turned it round, which was a clear illustration of
the additional power which it confers. Upon the
whole we have little doubt that these wheels must
come into general use.

A somewhat singular phenomenon was observed
in the bky on Wednesday morning last—viz., a rainbow on
the western part of the heavens, when the sun was high in
the cast.—Carlisle Journal.

A letter from Marseilles, dated Sept. 8, says
that much larger sales of silk took place there during the
last month than is usual, and amounted in all to upwards
of 200 bales. The price of grain was still getting up.

At Patavilea, a town on the coast of Peru,
the perpendicular height of the land is 160 feet ; yet,
during the earthquake in 1806, several canoes and boats
were thrown by the waves nearly to the top, and left among
the trees; and for more than two months afterwards
enormous quantities of fish drifted daily on the beach.
ROBINSON CRUSOE SISLAND.—The United
States' ship Vincennes visited the island of Juan Fernan-
dez, off the coast of Chili, a few months since, and remained
there three days. There were two Yankees and six Ota-
heitans on the island. The former bad formed a settlement,
for the purpose of supplying whale ships with water,
poultry, and vegetables. The soil is said to be astonish-
ingly fertile.

A female from the country arrived last week,
on horseback, at the door of an acquaintance in Dart..
mouth, and requested to be assisted, as she was dying ;
a prediction literally verified, as she was almost instantly
a corpse.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS.

Hopes appear to be entertained in respectable
quarters, that the reception given by his Majesty's
orders to the Royal Representative of the House
i
of Braganza on her expected arrival in this coun-
try, will be worthy of a Sovereign and a nation
awho know how to enhance the value of an act of
strict justice by the accompanying grace of kind,
ness and generosity. Nothing more favourable!
nothing more providential (except, perhaps,
Miguel breaking his neck), could have occurred
at
nt, as well fo rnow Portugalabou about
as t
ofobreEfns
land, s
than rnorn
thee opportunity
-'
niched, of showing that what the British Govern-
ment has done " untowardly" in the affairs of
the Portuguese nation hasnot been clone through
a sinister or unworthy bias, but that the wretch
Miguel shall no longer boast of the countenance
shown to him by England as a testimony
of af-
fection for his cause, and a ground of encourage-
ment to his partisans. In an earnest article ou
this subject three days ago, we urged
the policy
and the sacred duty of marking our national re-
ception of the young Queen by every honour
which might not only befit her dignity, and that
of his Majesty George IV., but might rebound
upon Portugal itself, and raise the fallen friends
of England and of liberty in that unhappy king-.
dom. Cordially do we rejoice that this wise and
honest course bids fair to be adopted by the mem-
bers of the King's Government. They, above
all other individuals, ought to hail the occasion
of Donna Maria da Gloria's arrival as a God-
send—a means of redemption for their more
than suspected principles--a pledge of reviving
union between England and her natural allies—
of wholesome alienation between her and the
sworn enemies of human happiness and virtue.
We do trust that the presence of this infant So-
vereign here will be a rallying point for whatever
remains of loyalty, sp;:it, and worth among the
people of Portugal, and t;;3t henceforth every
breeze from England may waft td the Tagus
fresh motives of confidence and manly resol:ItIon•
—Times.

Our readers will bear witness that we did our
utmost a few days ago, and as long as we were
able, to disbelieve for ourselves, and for the sake
of others to discredit, the rumour of an unfor-
tunate arrangement at the Admiralty, which im-
ported that the navy of England was once more
to be committed to the hands of Lord Melville !
We considered this to be a statement so dis-
graceful, if true, to the Prime Minister, and one,
the insertion of which in the Gazette would pro-
duce such a sinking of the heart throughout the
country, that it really seemed a matter of con-
science to postpone our belief of it to the last
minute : that minute has unhappily arrived !
Last night's Gazette contains the official notice
of Lord. Melville's accession to the most critical
and trying department of the public serviced
The nation, a little more than a year ago, re-
joiced as one man at the retirement or dism;.ssal
of this personage, from a post which, after the
experience we had of the condition of the navy
under his management, from 1812 to 1815,
comprehending the whole period of the late war
with the Americans, he assuredly ought not td
have been suffered to retain one moment. The
system of promotion under this hackneyed mbilbs,-
ter was as disgusting to the naval officers of Great
Britain, as it was injurious to the public interest.
In Lord Melville's time it was, that the most cruel
insult which could be offered to a brave and de-
voted profession grew into an Admiralty maxim,
repeated by every clerk, and known to the very
porters who swept dust into the faces of the ap-
plicants—" Service gives no title to promotion

to back him had smooth water, prosperous gales,
and a speedy entrance to the port of favour and
promotion. The veriest child, when towed by
the potent cable of Court patronage, was thus
qualified to outstrip the bravest veteran that ever
went to sea without one. In the same service
were to be found meritorious midshipman, aged
50 years, and post-captains of 25. In the same
navy list were whole columns of men riddled
with wounds, but left to perish of despondency ;
and of others who, without ever having stood a
broadside, or joined a boarding party, were
hoisted into station—the (first) Lord only knew
how. It is vexatious to see the Duke of Wel-
lington pertinaciously clinging to the old rubbish
of the worn-out Cabinet of former days—
the fag-enders of a hated party. It would
scarcely surprise us to see, at this rate,
such people as Lord Westmorland brought into
his Grace's Ministry. The Duke of Welling-
ton, however, is said to consult nobody ; and to
leave his nominal colleagues as much at sea re-

As a real and substantial fine upon those whose

person in humble life, whose loss occasioned
his family a pecuniary bereavement. It has,
however, become very general for Juries of late

they are nevertheless but ceurvy geniuses at the
best. Their dissertations reflect little credit on
their sagacity, their prudence, or their liberality.
They seem to breathe the free air of liberty, and
enjoy the freedom of discussion, like men who
have long been manacled and confined in a
dungeon. They are, besides, better acquainted
with the literature of Europe and the gossip of Paris,
than with foreign politics,the commerce and trade of
theirown country, or the character and institutions
of England. Thus it is, when they venture be.
voud the limits of a narrow circle, which em-
braces public spectacles and insular topics, that
they commit the most amusing blunders. They
moreover retain all their national antipathies.
Nothing inspires them so much with the amor
cloquentia: as the glory of arms, the glory of
conquest, the glory of being as great in foreign
enterprises as they persuade themselves they are
at home in their own opinions, and in the opi-
nions of the whole world. They forget that but
yesterday they Were wider the regime of the
allied troops ; that but yesterday the Duke of
Wellington was governor of liaris ; that but
yesterday they received a charter ; and that
but to-jay they have been permitted to lucu-
brate without the fear of the police scissars, and
the contumely of bread and water hi a filthy
prison. But their press being emancipated they
will at once presume to libel their benefactors,
and heap unsparing :Aise upon us, upon our
Government, upon our first Minister, upon our
foreign measures and our domestic policy. The
Viscount Chatcaubriand is most conspicuous
among these new-fledged politicians. Be lays
down the law as if he were developing a plot in
a novel. He is verbose, superficial, romantic,
liberal, selfish, ignorant, all in one display. He
is like a cracked amateur mountebank who ap-
pears at the same moment in the orders of a peer
and the rags of a sans culotte—in the attire
of a nobleman and the patches of a vagrant.
He is as industrious as any " gentleman of the
press need be—he works as if he still earned his
bread—the ruler at an attic school, the monarch
of seven Cheapside scholars, who grate unintelligi-
ble grammar and bad French at the humble charge
of seven and sixpence per lesson. He descants
upon time laws of nations as if he were an Envoy
at the Court of Hayti, and he criticises political
movements with as much freedom as if he were
reviewing a pamphlet devoted to the rules of
chess or analytical of the holy waters of the
Jordan. With the Noble Viscount we do not
quarrel about gold lace, marginal notes, the ar-
rangements or the colours of the bouquet, the
length or weight of epaulettes, or the merits of
certain silly or ridiculous ceremonies. All that
we complain of is, that lie employs his acknow-
ledEed talents in discussing subjects which he does
not understand. He writes upon English character
and British policy somewhat in the style of a danc-
master illustrating Euclid ; and he affects to
settle the affairs of Greece in the manner of a
French artiste promulgating the last favourite
discovery in the art of cooking an oyster pate. The
man who never joined any party but to render it
contemptible—he whom his friends cannot trust
—he who has been expelled from all the coteries

that he professed to adorn—he whom both ultra
and liberal have refused to trust—who has ex-
posed the former to ridicule, and has been de-
spised by the latter—is not a man whose cen-
sures we in England think it worth the pains to
refute, or whose wild political reveries we con-
sider entitled to notice. In bestowing our cour-
tesies, therefore, upon the speculations of the
French press, we beg leave to put the Noble
Viscount aside. His lectures arc so impregnated
with nonsense, that no further antidote is re-
quired. Our chief object in this article is, to call
the attention to a paper in the Globe, a Parisian
• journal, which has lately been quoted by our Eng-
lish liberals. It professes to be a review of the po-
licy of the Duke of Wellington. The Old Times
has just published the article, and, therefore, we
presume that its sentiments are known. Tho
article in the Globe to which we allude bears all
the marks of having emanated from the Ilus-
kisson or the Grant school. It is a tissue of
misrepresentations, silvered over with a modicum
of personal and paltry insinuations. It is, like
all the effusions of Mr. Charles Grant, a sleepy
production—redolent of cant and redundant of
ignorance. In it we are told that the Duke of
Wellington " is the scourge of the country and
of die world ; but the scourge is felt by that
country, and he cannot long retain his autho-
rity." We are further assured that " the Ad-
ministration of Wellington cannot last long in its
present condition (that is, since Huskisson and I
Grant have been kicked out of it) ; it will perish,
however, not because it oppresses or weakens
England, but front want y. talents. Talent is
thefirst quality required in a Ministry by our
neighbours the English ; they cannot, therefore,
be completely satisfied with the Administration
of Wellington." Then follows a host of com-
pliments lavished on Mr. Carmine.. To assume
that this article was written by Mr. Grant would
be to assume too much ; but that it never
was written by a Parisian is manifest. But
taking it tc, be so—admitting that it is of Paris
fabric, what are we to think of the paltry scribe
who indited it ? The Duke of Wellington's
policy has been to let France run the hazard of
her own speculations. He has chosen to inter-
fere in the disputes of Greece, and the Noble Duke
conceives, as every man of intelligence knows,
that she will involve herself in unnecessary ex-
pence and great difficulties by such foreign
policy. Her troops are not required in the
Morea—she goes there at an inclement season,
and, whatever be her object, her ulterior mea-
sures will unquestionably be under the controul
of the fleets of England. She can have no sup-
plies but such as may be received from France,
and these are at our mercy. The journalists of
Paris may prate, and speak of glory, and anti-
cipate honour and renown by having a French
army to occupy Greece, and numberless en-
gineers to measure•the fragments of her ruins and
inhabit her desolated temples; but the existence
of this army is at the mercy of the naval power
of Great Britain.—Netv Times.

stretching completely across from the east point to the
west, and passing nearly right through the zenith. It
consisted of a white luminous matter, something like what
is seen more faintly in the Milky Way. The two extremi-
ties were blighter than the middle, but the west extremity
was the most brilliant part of the whole; and it seemed to
have nothing in common with the Aurora Borealis, for it
remained quite fixed in its position. The stars were risi-
