CARUIG tNSHIRE.
ABERYSTWI TH.-111 E LORD BISHOP OF ST.
DAVIDS' VISIT.
His Lordship arrived at the Bella Vuc Hotel, Aberystwith,
on Friday evening last. On the next day he held a confir-
mation at St. Michael's Church, in the town, 'which was
numerously attended. Ou Sunday morning he preached in
English at the same church, to a very crowded congregation.
In the afternoon he walked from Aberystwith to Llanbadarn,
the parish church, calling on his way at the vicarage, whence
the Rev. John Hughes, the vicar, accompanied him to the
church. The announcement that his Lordship was to preach
in Welsh, had effected a larger congregation than was per-
haps ever before witnessed within the precincts of the Old
Church. We entered it at least half an hour before the com-
mencement of the service, and then found the place already-
! crowded to suffocation. There was not a pew but had double
its usual compliment of inmates, and all the aisles were
thronged with (agar and attentive listeners. Of this vast con-
gregation some had walked ten miles and upwards to hear his
Lordship. There was not a class in society but had its repre-
tentative. We saw several that receive parish relief, and many
that came in their carriages; yet the whole was so admirably
blended as to appear one harmonious mass; and we much
doubt whether an equal number of the rustic population of any
other part of the world could present so much of the externals
of comfort and respectability. They were by no means alt
Churchmen; we saw a great many Dissenters of different
denominations, but they were all -Welshmen, and came to
render their willing homage to one of the strongest intel-
lects of the age, who carne to preach to them in the
same language and on the same spot as Bishop Padarn
probably preached some thousand years past. The
fact of his Lordshrp having taken so much trouble to
master the 'Welsh language has made him perhaps the most
popular man in Wales. It has created a feeling that
%Vales has one public man at least to be proud of—who
can speak their language, and w!:o has learned that
language at an expense of time and trouble, which none
can appreciate except those who are acquainted with
the language, and more es'-M.lly with the proficiency
in it which his Lordship has acquired. We have no
hesitation in saying that this proficiency is most extra-
ordinary, and could have been obtlined only by the most un-
remitting labour, which at his time of life could have been
prompted only by the most sacred of motives. We are no.
enthusiasts for the Welsh orally other language per se, but
we must beg to exprzs; Ekur high admiration of difficulties 3
manfully encountered and manfully overcome from a sacred
sense of duty. It was the opinion of the most intelligeet of
his Lordship's congregation, that if the contrary had not been
known before hand, no one would have suspected but that the
Welsh had been his Lorthhip's native tongue. There are, no
doubt, peculiarities in his pronunciation, but these are no
more than there are in every native speaker; what we mean
is, that his Lordship's peculiarities are those of the individual
and not of the race. Iu instancing some Lew:—in such words as
llimech, he makes the o long, as lion( ch. Gwhnach he makes
gwiinach. His pronunciati,n of the vowels i, u, and yis per-
fect, and superior to most if our ra'ive preachers. His ch is
faultless, and his 11 comes very war to it ; but his great
excellence is the full comietion conveyed by the tones and.
inflections of his voice that he thoroughly- understands
what he is speaking. This is most apparent in conseentives,
such as awn rhagona and of her of the sante class, which no
native ever modulates with mote ease and flexibility. His
Lordship preached again in Welsh in the evening, at Llan-
gorwen Church, about two mites from Abervstwith, to a
crowded congregation—thus preaching three times on that
day. We have every reas in to balLve that his-Lordship is
still a student in the Welsh language ; this we infer from his,
purchasing at Anerystw it h the works of several of our Welsh
poets, at Mr. Jenkins, printer, Great Dark Gate-street. On
Monday morning his Lordshlp hfi Aberystwith far Trega-
ron, to hold a confirmation there on that day.— Welshman.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTH OF ENG-
LANE. RAILWAY.—The cause of the late accident on thiel:-er-2.,
near Cowton, was stated to be the breaking of the wheel of
one of the carriage trucks belonging to the Newcastle and
Carlisle Railway Company. It appears on examination that
it was the outer tire of the wheel, to which the flange is at-
tached, that broke near the nut by which it was fastened to
the inner tire. After breaking across at that point, the ends
rose, and the tire broke a second time at the next nut, and
then a portion of the tire and flange came completely WI
The wheel, having tints nothing to keep it on the rail,
swerved, carrying the axle round in a direction contrary to
that in which the carriage was going, till, coming in contact
with the carriage, it threw it oil the line, and dragged the
rest of the carriages with it. The broken wheel, having gone
under the carriage, carried the (Ater wheels away, and the
carriage was left without any wheels at all, in which state it
was found after the accident. The breaking of the outer tire
is attributed to its having been put on too hot, and there not
hating been sufficient allowance made for its contracting
properly, so that when it cook dit became too tight. The
metal was, in consequence, defective ; but no inspection that
could be instituted by any railway company could detect
any fault before the accident, it being to all appearance per-
fectly sound. Mrs. Whitehead, we are happy to state, is
pronounced out of danger. Both her legs are broken,
hketti,e
last
tlks
left leg below the knee, and the right above it ; b
accounts state that she is going or Ilwourabl y.
SHOOTING PARSONS.—We find the names of fifty-
eight clergymen—successors of the apostles--in the list of
gentlemen who have taken out Genie Certificates fur the
present year. Of these clergymen, some four or live keeß—
not missionaries, but—gamekeepers! If " the Church is
to be maintained by shooting partridges and hares, then
e the Church's "pillars may be regarded as firm and secure.
And if souls are to be converted by the bagging of game,
then the Christianity of Yorkshire may be regarded as pre-
dominant among the count its and provinces of Christendom.
By the way, we are curious to know whether the .Apostle
Paul, or any of the other apostles,--of whom our modern
clergymen claim to be the " successors,"—took out game-
licenses, or kept gamekeepers? We have looked into Dr.
Hook's Church Dictionary, but cannot find any satisfactory
answer.—Leeds Times.
