CELEBRATION OF ST. DAVID'S DAY.

Saturday last being bt. David's Day, was celebrated in
this town with great enthusiasm. The children walked
in procession, with flags and banners, to St. David's
Church, headed by Mr. Owen Williams, the Reverends
W. Hughes, W. Williams (the preacher for the day), T.
W. Jones, of St. Paul's, &c. &c. We noticed Mr. Robert
Wynne, Mr. E. P. Jones, Mr. Richards, &c. &c., in the
church. The Rev. W. Hughes read the service, and the
Rev. W. Williams, rector of Llanddyfnan, Anglesey,
preached a ve►y impressive and appropriate sermon from
I. Tim. vi. 17, 18.

THE LIVERPOOL CAMBRIAN SOCIETY

The forty-fourth anniversary of the Cambrian Society
was celebrated on Saturday, St. David's Day, by a din-
ner at the Wellington-hotel, Dale-street. It is unneces-
sary to observe that Mr. Ford's arrangements were in the
highest degree efficient ; the abundance was worthy of
the national hospitality of the members of a Welsh so-
ciety, and the cuisine reflected credit on the purveyor;
and though it was evident that the principal object had
been to provide a good substantial repast, the delicacies
common to the season were not omitted : the wines were
also of excellent quality. The only part of the arrange-
ments to which we can take exception arose from a want
of punctuality on the part of the guests, as dinner was
announced for four o'clock, and it was precisely five
before operations commenced. Upwards of 100 gentle-
men were seated on the removal of the covers. The chair
was occupied by W. M. Wynne, Esq., of Birkenhead ;
Mr. John Jones, of Waterloo-road, was vice-president ;
at the principal table were,—Robert Wynne, Esq., (of
the firm of Cotesworth, Wynne, and Lyne,) R. E. Grif-
fiths, Esq., (of the firm of Priestley, Griffiths, and Cox,)
the Rev. W. Hughes, the Rev. W. Williams (the minis-
ter of the day), Mr. Briscoe (town councillor), Mr. W.
P. Jeffreys (town councillor), and Mr. Hall (of the firm
of Hall and Jones) ; there were also Dr. N. S. Marsh,
Mr. Games, surgeon, Mr. E. P. Jones (the treasurer of
the society), Mr. H. E. Jones, Mr. Rees Jeffreys, Mr.
T. Hughes (the secretary), Mr. S. Gibson, &c., &c., &c.
Mr. Edward Hughes, the celebrated Welsh harper, en-
livened the gustative operations by playing several national
airs on the ancient instrument he fingers so admirably ;
the subsequent proceedings were varied by the assistance
of Messrs. Roberts, Radcliffe, Mellor, and Geo. Holden,
jun., the well-known glee singers. The cloth having
been withdrawn, the chairman rose to announce the first
toast,—" Her Gracious Majesty the Queen," who has
endeared herself to her attached subjects quite as much
by the virtues of the woman as those of the queen. (The
national anthem.)—The chairman in giving the second
toast said, it was also one that had reference to royalty,
but was more especially connected with them as Welsh-
men,—" The Prince of Wales." Though that prince
did not wear a crown glittering with jewels, but only a
cap and phnne, they would not exchange it for the crown
of an empire. (Cheers.) "The Prince of 'Wales."
(Three times three.)—The chairman : Harper, give us
" The noble race of Sbenkin."—" Prince Albert and the
royal family" elicited the same enthusiastic compliment.
(Hunting chorus.) The next toast was that of the " Lord
Bishop and the clergy of the diocese." The chairman
said he thought they would agree with him in opinion,
that the clergy of this diocese were an ornament to Chris-
tianity ; he begged to couple with this toast the name of
the Rev. W. Hughes, of St. David's.
The Rev. W. HUGHES, incumbent of St. David's,
responded, and said,—When it was necessary for their
church to stand in a defensive attitude, none of the Right
Rev. Prelates pointed more plainly to the only weapon
they could effectually wield against the encroachment of
Popery, than the Lord Bishop of Chester. Such words
as the following, said he, showed that their boloved
bishop was a staunch and an unflinching Protestant. In
one of his late answers to an address from his clergy,
" Let there," said his lordship, " be no dubious silence,
no disengenuous concealment, no hollow compromise, no
fantastical approximation to Popery." Their church
would be a scriptural church as long as the sixth article
was retained ; that article directed them to the Bible, the
whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible. As that was a
society of Welshmen, he took the liberty of alluding to
their noble ancestors, and that ancient language which was
so dear to them. St. David, whose anniversary they were
that day celebrating, was likewise a bishop, and he was
one that loved and fought for his country, and obtained a
glorious victory. The leek which he saw there that even-
ing was not to be easily forgotten ; it brought their recol-
lection back to the sixth century, and proclaimed the
valour of the Briton. Their past history, anterior to the
sixth century, showed that their forefathers were brave.
The Romans, with all their military gallantry, found the
Briton an enemy difficult to contend with, and it was a
matter of doubt whether the Briton would ever have been
reconciled to the dominion of the Romans had it not been
for the clemency, kindness, and humanity of the wise and
merciful Agricola. They might boast of princes who in
their chains could astonish and confound emperors ;
warriors, who, had they a Homer to sing their praises era
Virgil and a Livy to render their names gloriaus,.might
not only be classed with the warriors of Greece,and Rome,
but would have totally eclipsed them. Hu, ventured to
say that Thermopylae,. and. Marathon, that the. Punic and
the Peloponesian war,, could Scarcely, produce, puck in..

stances of bravery and courage, as were seen in those
nobler exploits, which the magnanimous sons-of Cambria
have been engaged in. As inheritors of such a glorious
name, he would entreat them not to tarnish it by being
guilty of any mean action or indecorous conduct. Let
their motto be—
" Hand ulli veterum virtute secundus.'"

Their language, he said, was more independent than any
other in Europe. A missionary, writing from the East,
said that the Welsh was a twin sister of the Sanscrit, and
that both were derived from the original language of man-
kind, and, very likely, at one time, were the one and the
same language. Their language was capable of such a
torrent of irresistible eloquence, yea, such a stream of
descriptive and energetic oratory, that it would have done
honour to the tongue of a Cicero or a Demosthenes. He
was glad that the advantages of the Welsh were on the
increase, schools were multiplying in the principality, the
clouds were dispersing and the sun seemed to shine more
brightly upon the romantic hills and quiet vales of Cam-
bria. In conclusion he ventured to predict that Wales,
shielded as it was, under the blessing of God, by a pre-
eminent acquaintance with the scriptures, would defy the
missiles of the Vatican, for many a generation to come,
whether those missiles would be aimed at it in the shape
of Vicars Apostolical, in a Hierarchical, in a Cardinalitial,
in a Synodical, or some other Jesuitical form. He took
up the language, applied to the Greeks, with reference to
the development of any scheme originated in the College
of Cardinals,— _ _

" Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes."

(Loud cheers.)
The Mayor and Town Council of Liverpool was then
given. The chairman had much pleasure in proposing
the toast, he thought it was a toast well worthy of being
given, not only in that society, but by every society in
Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) He would not say anything
about the magnificence and extent of their docks, but
merely observe that if the accommodation. of the trade
of the port did not extend on this side of the Mersey, in
the same proportion as that trade increased, he was afraid
it would go to the other side (laughter), the toast was
drunk with three times three, and one cheer more.—
(Willie brew'd a peck o'Malt.)
Mr. COUNCILLOR BRISCOE briefly responded; he
would not detain them long with his remarks, as there
was another member of the council present, Mr. W. P.
Jeffreys, who was a more thorough Welshman than him-
self, and who, no doubt, would occnpy some of their time.
(Hear, hear.) The opinion just expressed by their worthy
chairman, in reference to the dock question, lie did not
doubt embodied the sentiments of the town at large. He
(Mr. B.) must say that he could not agree with the majo-
rity of the Town Council in some of the measures recently
passed by that body. (Hear, hear.) Welsh energy made
its way, whether in London or Liverpool (hear), and be
was glad to see that some of them had made their way
into the Town Council.

Mr. COUNCILLOR JEFFREYS said that probably nine-
teen out of every twenty in the room were Welshmen,
and he felt very happy in being there again to spend St.
David's day amongst his own countrymen, to celebrate
the only day in the year which they could call their own,
in harmony and social festivity. As well as a municipal
representative, he was an honorary overseer of the parish
of Liverpool, and in that capacity he had an opportunity of
seeing the relation which existed between the different
amounts disbursed from the poor rates to the support of
the people from the different parts of the United Kingdom
from this fact he was enabled to state that five-sixths of
the recipients of parish relief were Irish paupers. One
day during the past week 150 cases of appeal against
paying the poor rates were beard before the magistrates ;
very many of these appeals were made by Irish persons,
and one reason for their refusal to pay was because the
rate was partly a church rate, although five-sixths of the
recipients of that rate were their own countrymen. He
compared this proneness to become burthenson.e on the
parochial funds on the part of the Irish with the horror
entertained by Welshmen of becoming paupers, in illus-
tration of which national trait he repeated a Welsh
proverb, the meaning of which is, that " If you will do
that I should not be surprised if you come to receive
parish relief." Out of 1700 persons resident in the Work-
house, only six were countrymen of theirs. This was
highly creditable to their nation and to the Cambrian
Society.

At this point of the proceedings Mr. E. S. Jones
sang a translation into Welsh of the sweet song, "The
Ivy Green ;" the tune was idet.tical with the original, and
the melody seemed to have lost nothing in the translation.
Mr. Jones possesses a very musical voice, and his amateur
contributions were the gems of the evening.
Mr. E. P. JONES, of Paradise-street, the treasurer of
the society, in proposing " the honorary members and
strangers present," said that, had it not been from respect
to the honorary members and their friends who had come
amongst them that evening they (the ordinary members
of the society) could very well have dispensed with the
dainties of which they had just partaken. He hoped and
trusted the Cambrian Society would never be allowed to
decay. (Cheers.) He felt both pleasure and pride in
having to say that he had been a member of the society
eighteen or nineteen years. It was the duty of every one
who might he blessed with prosperity to contribute to the
support of his poorer fellow-creatures. lie knew Welsh-
men generally practised this philanthropic axiom ; and
the comparative prosperity of the Cambrian Society proved
this, but though they were favoured with the support of
so many respectable men as he saw there, he could assure
them that the society had as much as it could do to keep
its head above water. They had now ten or twelve pen-
sioners, who had for five or six years been receiving a
weekly allowance. and consequently occasioning a constant
drain on the funds. Mr. Jones went on to illustrate the
beneficial operations of the society, and showed that such
an institution could not fail to do much to prevent the
spread of pauperism, but in pronouncing the last word he
experienced some difficulty from a temporary impediment,
and it came out popery, at which a loud and continued
burst of applause and laughter ensued. At the first pause
the chairman humorously ejaculated the word "both," Mr.
Jones, in good humour, remarked that a Welshman ought
to be allowed to speak three times before be could be
understood. He was like a barrel in the hands of a cooper,
of no use until it was confined by three hoops. (Laughter.)
Mr. Jones went on to show the good such societies as the
Cambrian were capable of effecting by reducing the aggre-
gate amount of pauperism. This society especially aimed
at assisting the working-man when visited by sickness.
If a working-man were confined to his bed for three
months, by the aid of that society, when he recovered, be
found himself free from the demands both of surgeon and
baker, and with his little furniture about Lim'. If the
working-man once parted with his furniture, he was com-
pelled to go into lodgings, and perhaps he became a pau-
per; he never recovered his position ,—he was like a maiden
once seduced,—he was lost for ever. (Hear, hear.) In
conclusion, Mr. Jones expressed the gratification he felt
in proposing the health of the honorary members and the
strangers then present.
R. WYNNE, Esq., of the firm of Cotesworth, Wynne,
and Fyne, responded. lle said he was taken by surprise,
inasmuch as when he came there he had no intention of
addressing them. He referred to the previous observa-
tions that had been made relative to de Welsh character
as contrasted with the Irish, and observed that at a recent
meeting of the Roman Catholics in this town a leading
merchant had charged the Welsh with being the most
bigoted of people. What lie asked was this but saying
that they were the most protestant people. (Hear.) He
considered this as the highest compliment that could have
been paid to them.
R. GRIFFITH, Esq., of the firm of Priestley, Griffith,
and Cox, proposed, " The President, and success to the
Cambrian Society."

W. M. WYNNE, Esq., responded in a brief but grace-
ful speech.
W. HALL, Esq., of the firm of Hall and Jones, pro-
posed the " Principality." Ho entertained so high an
opinion of the Welsh character that he regretted he was
not a Welshman.

J. GAMES, Esq., responded. lie vindicated the natu-
tural intelligence of t, e Welsh people, but admitted that
hitherto education had been restricted amongst them ; if
this advantage were extended to the Welsh they would
rival either the English or the Scotch.
The subsequent toasts were " The Vice-president,"
" The fair Daughters of Cambria," " The Treasurer,"
" The Secretary and the Officers of the Society," and
" The Press." Our limited space, however, forbids fur-
ther details of the proceedings.

Peths,

The Lord-Lieutenant of the county palatine of Lan-
caster has appointed Le Gendre Nicholas Starkie, jun.,
to he Deputy-Lieutenant.

On Sunday week Mr. Jas. Griffiths, of Flookersbrook,
Chester, committed suicide by hanging himself in the
summer-house in his garden. The deceased was 63 years
of age, and possessed of considerable property.
Sir W. W. Wynn, M.P., is applying to Parliament for
an act to repeal the act, passed in 1827, which empowers
the Ellesmere and Chester Canal Company to use the
water in Bala Lake to any extent, and without reference
to the rights of any other parties.
The commissioners of Ormskirk have elected Mr. John
M`Manus, an assistant in the office of Mr. Newlands, bo-
rough engineer, to the office of inspector of Nuisances
and Surveyor for the township of Ormskirk, under the
Public Health Act, at a salary of £75 per annum.
FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Shortly after six
o'clock on the morning of Monday last a fatal explosion
of fire damp took place at Messrs. Cardwell and Holgate's
colliery, near Turf Moor, Burnley, by which three persons
lost their lives instantaneously, and two others were so
seriously injured that one of them at least exhibits no
hopes of recovery. The catastrophe was caused by Thos.
Stevenson, one of the victims, using a lighted candle, in-
stead of the usual lamp, although repeatedly cautioned.
Last week a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Edwards,
hatter, Golden-square, Warrington, and after it was re-
duced, it was discovered that Mrs. Edwards, an old wo-
man, nearly 80 years of age, was lying senseless and much
scorched on the floor. She never rallied, and died imme-
diately afterwards. The origin of the fire cannot be as-
certained ; but it is supposed that the old woman, who
had only been left a few minutes before, had incautiously
placed the candle too near the bed.
THE REV. DR. TAIGHAN'S FIRST GUINEA.—At the
annual meeting of the Oldham Lyceum, last week, the
Rev. D. Vaughan (Independent), gave the following inte-
resting incident of his own history :—He well remembered,
when a little boy, becoming very affluent when possessed
of his first guinea. He turned out into the streets of
Bristol, looking into all the shops, and turning over and
over his guinea, putting it first in one pocket and then in
another ; then again looking at it ; at last he turned into
a book auction, where the " History of the World," in
two volumes, was standing at seven shillings. Eight was
bid. " Going, going." He bid nine shillings, with his
chin scarcely higher dam the table. Noboby bid against
the boy, and he gfA the whole world for nine shillings,
which he carried eraltingly home on his shoulders. He
sat reading till raidnight,_ and those books were read
through and thro'agh many a time; and they bad formed
the taste and created that passion for reading which he

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.

TO TDB EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD_
regret to see in the Shipping and Mercantile
Gazette of lass week, that Mr. Labouchere is advised to
remain quiescent during the seamen's strike, because
doubtless the turbulent crew will give in, and the vessel
will go steadily before the breeze. Now, sir, I would ask
the editor of the Gazette, whether the law, which he
seems so much to admire, is not calculated to destroy the
strength of the merchant navy of this country. Not
only the able seamen, but master mariners loudly protest
against such unwarrantable interference, on the part of
the Government, in the domestic management of their
affairs,—the expedience and competency I strongly ques-
tion. You, sir, are doubtless well acquainted, (or at
least the editor of the Shipping Gazelle is), with the
affairs of the Merchant Seaman's Fund, and the mal-
appropriation of those funds, so that it would be super-
fluous for me to dwell on this subject. Eleven years
since, the first Select Committee sat respecting that mea-
sure, and gave a most unfavourable report. Then in
1844, the second Committee gave in another unfa-
vourable report. It is now 1851, and no steps whatever
have been taken to remedy the crying evils of this dis-
graceful law, thus proving the incompetency of the
Government to legislate, or at least a want of inclination
to do justice to the mariner.
With respect to these new rules, as set forth by Mr.
Labouchere and the Board of Trade, no language can be
sufficiently strong or condemnatory. The long-experienced
master of a vessel, whose practical knowledge never be-
fore has been disputed, must undergo a fresh examination
from a naval officer, or perhaps from a tyro stripling, the
whole of whose knowledge is built upon his reading of
Norie. Theoretical knowledge is all very well ; but the
art of navigation can only be acquired by long experience
at sea, which all the books and theories in the world can
never teach.

The new code of laws, with its fines and penalties, will
most assuredly drive the British seamen to seek on the
other side of the Atlantic a market for his labour, where
he will be unrestricted by the cruelties of registration, or
penal enactments. Registration has already produced a
series of evils. For a venial offence, the mariner may
have his register ticket withdrawn, and be reduced to the
condition of art outcast or a vagabond, whom no one
dares to employ, no matter how long he has been to sea,
nor what his previous character may have been. It is
like placing a brand upon a man, the mark of Cain, ren-
dering the unfortunate mariner a hopeless and forlorn.
member of society.
This Mercantile Marine Act has been smuggled through
Parliament • and there are but too few friends to stand up
to defend the rights of the seaman. The condition of
the sailor is very little understood by the landsman, and.
least of all by such men as Labouchere, and those with
whom he is associated in his unholy crusade against the
rights and liberties of the seaman. Let these hateful pro-
visions be kept in force, and thousands of desertions will
take place—nay, have already taken place. In the event
of a war with America, or any other great power, our
legislators may find to their sorrow that they have driven
the ablest, truest, and best men to seek an asylum in
other lands, and perchance to fight against the country
which gave them birth.

In conclusion I have only to observe, that the appro-
priation of these fines is a matter for very serious con-
sideration. Into whose pocket do they goy? Of course
it will be to the interest of the officials to take coznizance
of as many faults and offences as they probably can,
because, doubtless, thence will arise to them a rich har-
vest and revenue. It may not be out of place to ask,
To whom have gone the thousands of pounds levied out
the sailor, during the last few years, for register tickets
in this port alone. When legislators and their tools pro-
fess to sympathise with any set of men, they should first
prove their sincerity by acts of benevolence, and not by
making a demand from those whom they profess to assist.
I have the honor to be, Sir.
Yours very obediently.
JAMES FILDES.

TILE PEELITES AND TIIE MINISTERIAL

CRISIS

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE LIVERPOOL STANDARI7.
SlR,—The history of passing events will form a not un-
interesting or unimportant portion of the history of this
country. It will be the task of the historian to trace to
the right causes and authors the existence of this jungle
of difficulties in the government of Great Britain. Most
of us have our own opinions upon the matter now ; hut
we are too nearly—too directly—concerned in the drama
to be able to pass a fair and unbiassed judgment.
But the most careless individual cannot fail to be inter-
ested, and perhaps surprised. at the part which the
Peelitcs are playing on the political platform. It appears
that overtures have been made to different individuals in
that clique, by both the great parties in the state; but
they resolutely refuse to yield any one of their petty
crotchets for their country's good, notwithstanding the
wholesale manner in which they have before done violence
to the principles they professed, without even the plea of
urgent necessity or constraining necessity. All this,
doubtless, is part of one great design, and the speech of
Sir James Graham on Friday night—forming, as it does,
an important part of their project—goes far to explain
whlt their ardently cherished intentions are.
When Sir James Graham claims " friendship" with a
political opponent, or recognizes and acknowledges the
" great abilities" of a political rival, it is a sure and un-
erring indication who is the individual he is going to trip
up, to criticise, and to condemn. The illustrations of
this are too numerous, too salient, and too recent to need

addue!ng,'•
On Friday night he begged, amidst the satirical cheer
of the house, that he might be again allowed to call Lord
John RussCn "I'_'.° 11aht honourable friend." If such
were the character of all Lord John Ituggell's friends,
from them he may fervently pray to be delivered.
After making his request, Sir James proceeded to stabi
his reasons why he could not join his lordship in the re-
construction of his cabinet. Lord John, it seems, made
many concessions to effect an union, and even promised
to omit Ireland from the operations of his anti-papal bill;
but Hr James would yield nothing, simply answering no!
And why was this ? Sir James Graham has no party, but
wants one! Lord John Russell had one, but seems al-
most to have lost it ; and so the right honourable (! !)
baronet outbids his lordship in liberal professions for the
leadership of the so-called liberal party ! and there ap-
pears to be a probability of this contemptible and dastardly
plot succeeding. Sir James promised an extension of the
suffrage ! and no resistance to the Pope ! as an induce-
ment to Democrats and Romanists to follow his leader-
ship ! Both Democrats and Romanists responded to his
appeal ; and so I believe he thinks that, with these con-
ciliated, he and his fellow- ministerialists can govern this
great, this Protestant, this imperial kingdom.
• The consistent professors of this characteristic policy
have only to open their eyes, and they will see " breakers
a-head !" They may consider this trimming conduct
nicely calculated to evade " the Irish difficulty ;" but
they seem to ignore what is far more important—the
crushing, English, Protestant hostility which their weak-
minded and unprincipled plans will induce. The rule of
proportion teaches us to state the case in some such way
as this :—lf an " Irish vote" of 20 could only shatter,
though not defeat Lord John Russell's weak administra-
tion. what strength of government would it take to resist
an English vote of 380 ? The fact is, sir, let the future
ministry be what it may in other things, in this—its
Protestantism and anti-papal intentions—it must be un-
mistakeable and decided, or else the scorching censure of
an indignant and insulted nation will soon hurl them from
those places of power and distinction, for which, in such
a crisis in our country's history, they will thereby have
proved themselves so utterly incompetent and unworthy.
I am, sir, &c. A PROTECTIONIST.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD-

SIR,—In your abstract of the proceedings at the Fi-
nancial Reform meeting last Monday evening, I am re-
ported to have " defended the window tax," and several
of your contemporaries have copied the paragraph. It is,
however, entirely a mistake • I fully concur in the neces-
sity for the repeal of the window tax, as a tax on the pub-
lic health ; but I contend that being also a tax on the
property, and ultimately paid by the owner, and not by
the tenant, it ought to be exchanged for an equitably
levied house tax, in order that the produce may be em-
ployed in repealing some of the most injurious excise and
customs' duties, to the relief of industry, instead of pro-
perty.—l remain, sir, _

Yours respectfully,

TIIE REMEDY FOR THE EXISTING CRISIS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—lt is very seldom 1 trouble the newspapers with
any lucubrations of mine ; but it has occurred to me that
there is one way, and only one, in which Lord John Rus-
sell, (who, after all, I look upon as an honest man), can
extricate the country and his own party from the dilemma
in which they are now placed. I take it for granted that
the real difficulty in the way of forming an Administra-
tion is—the question of Papal Aggression. Now, one of
two courses remains yet open on that question—Does the
country demand any legislation on that subject ? The
reply to this question is given in a warning voice by the,
whole of England, Scotland, Wales. and even a consider-
able part of Ireland, which has spoken out in a tone that
can neither be mistaken nor resisted. Can Lord John
Russell throw overboard, or even greatly modify, his
measure against the Papal Aggression ? I say NO. Then
if I were in the position of the noble duke, I should..
counsel her Majesty something after the following man-
ner :—" T humbly represent to your Majesty that theonly
means left oven to the head of your Majesty's Govern-
ment is forthwith to pass the measure (or a measure)
against the Papal Aggression—and both Houses of Par-
liament will stand by Lord John on the question—and
then all the difficult?, is ever! My Lord John can then
take to his councils any of those leading personages who
are ready to join him on nearly all other subjects. The
country would then, at least far a time, have an effective,
should
l
though it might be a coalition, Administration, and the
business of the United Kingdom would be no longer at a.
