A Prize Essay on the Character of the Welsh as a Nation,
in the Present Age. By the Rev. W. JONES.—London :
Sitnpkin and Marshall; Hughes, Martin's le Grand.
This is one of the productions called forth by the late Royal

Eisteddfod, Or Congress of Welsh Bards, held in this town.
It will be read with interest by the natives of the Principa-

lity, and by all who wish to form a correct opinion of the
actual state of society in that romantic part of the British

empire. English travellers have described the beauties of
the country—pointed out its druidical remains—and detailed
some of its legendary tales ; but the author of this essay, be-

ing a native, and intimately acquainted with the reiative po-
sition of the various classes of its inhabitants, and with habits

with a candour and honesty characteristic of an independent

mind, drawn aside the veil, and exposed to view many fea-
tures of Welsh character hitherto unknown to Englishmen.
The work abounds with sketches of the dead and of the
living, illustrative of the various points which the author
considers it necessary to explain on presenting to the public
a portion of the Welsh nation. Some of these we shall
hereafter transfer to' our pages. And, in concluding this
short notice, we can only say to our English friends that we
highly recommend the perusal of the work ; and to our
Welsh readers, that we cannot suppose that any Welshman

can rest satisfied without possessing a volume so replet
with information. statistics, and details on Welsh topic

INTENTIONS OF MINISTERS

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY

(From a Third Edition of the London Standard.)

Lord J. RUSSELL said that after the right hon. baronet,
the member for Tamworth, gave notice of his motion for a
want of confidence in her Majesty's ministers, he (Lord J.
Russell) stated to his colleagues that should the right hon.
gent. succeed in obtaining a majority, it would not be proper
to submit to the house the motion of which he had given
notice relative to the corn-laws. After the decision of the
house on Saturday morning last, he again stated his
opinion to his colleagues, who coincided with him, and it
was threefo

)re not now his intention to give any notice on the

abject of the corn-laws. (Hear.) His intention original

giving notice of the motion was to obtain an expression
f opinion on the part of the house on that question, and
gtated by the other side, to increase the public excite-

The right hon. baronet, the other evening,
stated it to be his opinion that the government had two bud-
gets in contemplation, either of which would have been brought
forward according to circumstances. There was not the sha-
dow of foundation for such a charge. With respect to the
course he now meant to pursue, it was substantially the same as
he had stated after the division. He proposed to take the civil
contingencies, the votes for the service of Canada and China.
He should do the same with the miscellaneous estimates
to that pursued after the death of Geo. IV. in 1830. He
proposed to take a sum on account of the miscellaneous
estimates for six months, from the Ist of April, for the sup-
ply of the exigencies of the public service, and to prevent in-
convenience to public officers. The object in view in taking
such a course must be quite obvious to the house. (Cheers.)
It had been said that the question of dissolution was not a
proper question to be discussed in this house. Now, after
the division on Saturday morning last, when 623 members
voted, with a majority of only one in favour of the right
hon. baronet, and when only eight members were unaccounted
for—eight who certainly could not be depended upon by
either party—it must be obvious that no steady majority
would be found for either party in the present house of
Commons. (Hear, hear.) And such being the case it ap-
peared to him as clear as any proposition in politics did,
that the only method of solving the doubt which at present
existed was to allow the country to decide upon those ques-
tions in which they were so deeply interested. (Cheers from
the ministerial benches.) The noble lord concluded by
moving the order of the day for the house resolving itself
into a committee of supply.
The order of the day having been read,

Sir R. PEEL said the noble lord bad alluded to the re-
marks which he (Sir R. Peel) had made relative to the bud-
get, he must be allowed to state that the prevailing ex-
pression amongst all was, that the present budget
had certainly been very recently adopted. He (Sir R.
Peel) thought if it was intended to have been announced in
the Speech from the Throne, on the opening of parliament,
—(hear)----he could see no excuse for delaying such an inten-
tion, until ministers were defeated on the sugar duties. He
(Sir Robert Peel) did not wish to provoke, on the present
occasion, any discussion on the corn-laws, as he plainly saw
the inconvenience which must arise by adopting such a course
at the present hour. The noble lord had said he intended to
appeal to the country—to call a new parliament. (Hear.) With
regard to the propriety of that measure he would offer no
opinion. With her Majesty's ministers rested the responsibility
of taking such a course. If, however, that step was to be
taken, undoubtedly the prerogative of the Crown might be
put into operation, and an appeal made to the country. If,
however, that was decided upon, no time ought to he lost.
(Hear.) The present parliament, under the circumstances
of the case, could not satisfactorily legislate in any disputed
matter. No time ought to be lost before convoking a new
parliament. He was aware the Sugar Duties Bill must be
passed, and that provision must be made for the exigencies
of the state (hear, bear) ; but he repeated that the new par-
liament ought to be called together without delay, tlAe ques-
tion of the corn-laws and other important questions which
had been agitated ought to be settled. (Hear, hear.) The
private convenience of members ought not to be consulted
when the public good was at stake. (Hear, hear.) He
trusted the noble lord would assure the house that no time
should be lost in dissolving the present parliament, as that
resolution was agreed upon by her Majesty's ministers, or
in calling together the new parliament. On former occasions
the government of the day in dissolving a parliament always
stated that its successor would be called together as early as
possible, and he trusted the noble lord would give a similar
assurance on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) He (Sir
it. Peel) said, if such an assurance was given, he would not
oppose any vote necessary for the public service; but if the
noble lord was not prepared to give that assurance, he should
only agree to granting the estimates for three months. He
must press upon ministers to give an assurance that no time
-;hould be lost in calling the new parliament together. If
that assurance was given, he would withdraw all opposition
ro the time the supplies were asked for.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, that knowing the opinion of Lord
Melbourne be could assure the house that it was the inten-
tion of ministers to advise her Most Gracious Majesty to
call the new parliament together as early as it was possible.
(Hear.) He felt deeply the difficulty of remaining in office
human family to I after the vote of the other evening.

Sir R. PEEL felt satisfied with the assurance of the noble
lord, and would not make any opposition to the time the
supplies might be asked for. (Hear.)
Mr. VlLLizzts rose to address the house, and was left
speaking.

The Sun states that a dissolution will take place in a week,
and perhaps earlier.
