employers, in exercising their talents against him, but there was another question, with which, he believed, the learned gentlemen had not quite so much to do, namely, the question of their duty to the public. They had been professionally taught to represent what was right the wrong way. But it could not be helped; the gentlemen were earning a livelihood in the best way they could, according to their judgment; but when he was apprehended, he was engaged in the same sort of duty towards himself, in earning a livelihood for himself. He contended, that this was not so much a prosecution against himself as against the press, and begged to know whether there was any thing condemnable in saying that the soldiers loved an injured Queen? Why had not "Flindell's Luminary,' which contained a direct and cowardly attack upon the Queen, been prosecuted instead of that bill, which was no more a libel than loyalty was a cause of corruption? It all showed, that ever since her first acquittal, she had been beset by spies; but as the 21st chapter of Proverbs, 25th and 26th verses, says, "Strength and honour are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come. Yea, she hath opened her mouth in wisdom." Had she not proved her mercy too, as well as her strength and honour, by permitting Mr. Majoochi, her enemy, to go after he had committed what he might have been made to answer for? The defendant concluded by quoting a passage from Solomon. The Chairman asked whether he had any witnesses to call. Waddington.-Sir, my cause has no occasion for witnesses. The jury retired, and in an hour returned with a verdictNot Guilty. Waddington immediately took his hat, and walked quietly from the bar to his friends in the hall, who shouted and clapped as he passed through. GUILDHALL.-The overseers of the parish of St. Sepulchre appeared to answer the complaint of a person named Anthony Finarty, who described himself as a journeyman tailor out of employ, with a wife and five children, wholly destitute of support. The parish-officers, it appeared, had given him some partial relief, and offered to receive him and his family into the workhouse, but the complainant contended for his right to be relieved in such manner as he should point out, and claimed of the parish to be supplied with money at the rate of 8d. per meal for five in family, and for three meals per day, amounting to 14s. per week, to be advanced to him by way of loan, for which he undertook to give his written acknowledgment for the repayment when he should be enabled so to do.-The complaint was dismissed. CONGRESS OF WELSH BARDs. An Eisteddfodd, or Congress of Bards, was held at Wrexham, in Denbighshire, last week, under the patronage of the "Cymmrodorion Society," in Powys, the object of which was, to rescue from oblivion the ancient lore of Cambria, to encourage living merit, and to promote the interest of the principality in every point of view. Premiums and prizes were given for the best poems on various subjects. The successful candidate for the Bardic chair was Robert Davies, of Nantglyn, near Denbigh, who also received a handsome silver medal, and a premium of 15 guineas: there were no less than SO different compositions, many of which possessed great merit, particularly those written by the Rev. E. T. Hughes, of Bodfary; Mr. Thomas Jones, of Long-acre, London; and Mr. Jones, of Liverpool. Two Essays, in the English language, were written by the Rev. J. W. Rees, of Carcob, Radnorshire, and the Rev. J. Hughes, of Brecon: the first on the ancient history of Britain, and the other on the character and exploits of Arthur: both gained premiums. Ten harpers contended for the silver harp, this exhibition proved highly interesting and entertaining: after a sharp contest, Richard Roberts, of Caernarvon (blind and lame), was declared the victor, to the general satisfaction of a most crowded audience, which had assembled in the Town-hall; sir W. W. Wynn in the chair. Medals were given to the best singers with the harp, and gratuities to the unsuccessful bards and minstrels. In the evenings concerts were performed at the Assembly-rooms, chiefly consisting of Welsh melodies, arranged with English words. The vocal compositions were extremely well executed by Mr. C. Smith, Mrs. Corran, Miss Hall, Master Clough, from Liverpool, and Mr. Parry, editor of the Welsh Melodies, under whose directions the Congress was held, and to whom, for his zeal in the cause of Cambrian literature in general, the society voted a handsome piece of plate.
