WELSH METROPOLITAN CHURCH.
AT R MEETING held by public advertisement, at the
for taking
THATCHED HOUSE TAVERN, 011 the sth JUNE, 1841,
,t‘jitaking into consideration the Spiritual Destitution of the
_7_2l,su POOR IN LONDON, and the best means of raising a
a Fund for providing and endowing a Church, wherein they
Could hear Divine Service, according to the forms of the Na-
tional Church, in their native language : Resolutions were
entered into in commendation of the measure, and for carry-
ing the same into effect; and as the countenance of HER
MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY was deemed most important to
the success of the undertaking, it was determined that an
humble application should be made for her patronage and
support. And also, that appeals should be made to the
Clergy and Gentry of, and connected with, the Principality,
for their sympathy, aid, and exertions, in furtherance of the
object, and the following Committee was appointed to carry
the intentions of the Meeting into execution, namely
The Earl of Pow's, Chairman VISCOUNT DUNCANNON,
LORD ICENvoN The Bishop of BANGOR,
Right Hon. C. W. Wms. The Bishop of St. DAVID'S
WYNN, .M.P•, Sir BENJ. HALL, Bart,
OCTAVIUS MORGAN, Eq., M.P.,M.P.,
DR. NICIIOL, M.P.

Mr. Serj. ATCHERLEY, Rev. J. JENNINGS, M.P.
W. PARRY RICHARDS, Esq., I R. HUGH HUGHES,
WM. JONES, Esq., (Crosby I COL. WOOD M P
Square), • •
Rev. EVAN JAMES, M.A.,
And Sir BENJ. HALL, Bart., M.P. was appointed Treasurer
The Committee in making public the result of their endea-
vours in so good a cause, have much satisfaction in stating
that our beloved QUEEN readily responded to the Appeal
made to her on behalf of her loyal and dutiful Ancient British
Subjects, and has graciously condescended to express her
approbation of the undertaking, and to forward a Donation of
ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS in its support ; an example which
the Committee hope will be liberally and early responded to by
the public, more especially by their countrymen, upon whom
the Committee desire to impress, that it is oh record, that for
the last century it has been a source of constant regret, that
Welshmen, when leaving their native mountains for this
great metropolis, were doomed never to bear the Word of
Ood in their own native tongue, according to the principles
of the Church of England.
To remedy this undoubted evil, is entrusted to the Com-
mittee, and they wish neither to dissemble the labour and
difficulty of carrying this object into effect, nor the large
outlay necessary for its completion. A sum of not less than
XlO,OOO will be required to obtain a scite, erect, and perma-
nently endow, a Church capable of affording gratuitous reli-
eiouS instruction to the Poor Welsh in London ; they never-
theless do mot doubt their success, for they feel they are
urging upon a religious community in the work they contem-
plate, a righteous discharge of their duty to God and to their
neighbour, and trust to inspire at least all Welshmen and
persons connected with the Principality, with an anxious de-
sire to forward the undertaking ; those possessed of large
property, according to the bounty with which Providence
has favoured them—and those possessed of less, according
to their means, which they cannot impress more forcibly
than by referring to the beautiful words of our Liturgy.
"He that soweth little shall reap littler" "He that soweth
plenteously shall reap plenteously." " Let every one do
according as he is disposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of
necessity ; for God loveth a cheerful giver."
The Committee in making this appeal and responsible duty
publicly known, add a list of Donations announced in their
support, and beg further to state, that Subscriptions will be
received by the Treasurer; the Members of the Committee;
and by the following Bankers :—Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59,
Strand; Messrs. Drummond, 49, Charing Cross; Messrs.
Herries, Farquhar and Co., it, St. James's street ,• Messrs.

tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of

STAMMERING.
MR. HUNT, of 224, Regent-street, and late of Trinity
College, Cambridge, may be consulted at 63, REN-
SHAW-STR.EET, Liverpool, until the 22nd instant. A
Prospectus, containing Testimonials, &c. sent ou applica-
tion, free of expense.
(From the Hampshire Advertiser.)
I have no doubt, as the subject of it is of great interest to
the public, that you will give admission to this short letter in
one of your columns.
On my arrival at Southampton, last week, I found Mr.
Hunt, who professes to remove entirely the most inveterate
impediments of speech in persons of all ages. This gentle-
man came to me in the beginning of October, at my resi-
dence, Wyke Cottage, near Weymouth, and mentioned his
pretensions to certain success in the said art. I have a
youth under my tuition, about sixteen years old, who la-
boured under this infirmity to that degree, that he could not
bring out his words without the utmost struggle and diffi-
culty. Notwithstanding, much as I wished that he should
be cured of such a defect, I was incredulous, and would not,
without a more solid ground of assurance, hazard the experi-
ment, as the young gentleman is of great expectations. But
the Rev. Mr. Addison, who is the head of a school in my
neighbourhood, having, after Mr. Hunt's application to me,
placed under his care tour of his pupils who stammered ex-
ceedingly, and their restoration to the free use of speech
being completely effected, I had no longer cause for hesita-
tion. I, therefore, put my young friend under Mr. Hunt's
instructions ; and I have the satisfaction to assert, that he
now reads and speaks with a perfect flueney of elocution.
But it has been surmised, I am told, that such a relief is only
of temporary duration. I can affirm with confidence, that a
suspicion of this kind is without the slightest foundation ;
for it is now upwards of three months since these young gen-
tlemen experienced the benefit of Mr. Hunt's invaluable
skill, and not one of them has relapsed at all.
I thought it a duty to the public, and an act of justice to
Mr. Hunt, to give this testimony ; and as I propose to re-
main at Southampton about two weeks longer, should any
any particular point, I
to furnish them with it in a personal conver-
pshearsllonbe desire more more satisfaction upon
conver-
sation

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN DU PRE, D.D
Southampton, January 7, 1828.
