The premium for the second best was given to Mr. William Ellis Jones, of Carmarthen.

PRIZE II. An elegant silver-gilt Medal, presented by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, for the best four Welsh Englynion on the Marriage of Sir R. B. W. Bulkeley. Ten excellent compositions had been sent in, and the award of the judges was declared in favour of the composition signed "Dewi." The author being desired to make himself known, The Rev. J. Blackwell stood forward and was invested with the medal by Lady Robert Grosvenor, amid thunders of applause. Mr. Blackwell then recited the Englynion as follows:

Eto unwyd mewn tyuion-aur rwymau,
Rymus ddwy lîn Brython

Treiddia trwy wlad Derwyddon:
Gerddi mawl-nes gwardda Môn.

Iforaidd yw myfyrion—Syr Risiart,
Rhoes-roesaw i feirddion:
Ystanley fydd Nest hoenlon
Iddo a merch newydd Môn.

Golau haul, a gwawl hylon,-tirion wên
Dadtry'n ol gysgodion

Od oedd ddwl is dydd alon,

Nid tywell mwy mantell Môn.

Dwy oes hir, hyd i oes wyrion, i'w rhan,
Agwir hedd yn goron;

A gadael tra Caergwydion,

Lu o'u meib i lywio Môn.

DEWI.

PRIZE III-A Silver Medal to the successful author for the best Essay on Agriculture.

The Rev. Mr. Metcalf (private chaplain to Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart.) stated that there were three compositions which possessed extraordinary merit, and of these the judges had decided in favour of "Amaethon."

Aneurin Owen, Esq. having declared himself the author, was invested with the medal by Lady Mostyn.

The second premium on this subject was adjudged to Mr. William Jones, of Pwllheli.

The Rev. Mr. Metcalf stated that there was another production on this subject (agriculture), which merited particular notice. The judges had ranked it in the third place; but, impressed with a sense of its very great merits, they recommended that it should be published in addition to the other two. The composition bore the signature of "Ralph Aricula Robinson." The author not appearing, the seal was broken, and the name of the Rev. Samuel Roberts, Llaubrynmair, appeared as the author.

PRIZE IV. The Medal of the Royal Cambrian Institution, for the best Essay on Welsh Grammar.

There were only two competitors for this prize, and as both Essays were considered of equal merit, the judges proposed that medals should be presented to both of them. The first of them was Mr. Hugh Jones of Chester, for whom Mr. Edward Parry, of Bridge-street, in this city, was invested with the medal. To the Rev. J. H. Williams, of Llancadwaladr, Anglesea, was awarded the other medal; and the Rev. J. Jones, of Holyhead, was invested as his locum tenens.

PRIZE V. An elegant Silver Medal, the gift of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart., for the best poem on David playing the Harp before Saul.

The Rev. Henry Parry said he had the honour of being one of the judges on this subject. No less than twenty-seven compositions were sent in, six of which were excellent. The palm of superiority was, after careful investigation, awarded to "Hanesydd.”

Mr. Robert Davies, the bard of Nantglyn, presented himself amid loud tokens of approbation, and was invested with the medal by Lady Mostyn, of Talacre.

The premium for the second best composition on the same subject, was awarded to Mr. W. E. Jones, (Cawrdaf.)

The President begged to state that the successful candidate for the best History of Anglesea was not present yesterday, he was most happy however to announce that the lady was among the company today. (Cheers) He then took the opportunity of passing a very warm encomium upon the lady's industry and talents, and observed that the work would, when published, embellish the library of every gentleman throughout the principality of Wales. Lord Mostyn immediately introduced Miss Angharad Lloyd, who was invested with the prize medal by Sir R. Buckley, the president.

CONTEST FOR THE HARP.

The judges in the contest for the prize were Mr. John Parry, the conductor, and Mr. Aneurin Owen. The candidates came forward in the following order :

1. Miss E. Joues, of Corwen: tune, "Serch Hudol,” (the Allurements of Love).

2. Griffith Jones, Capel Curig: tune, "Bro Gwalia," (Country of Wales.) 3. William Jones, Beaumaris: tune, "Pen Rhaw," (Spade's Head.)

4. Richard Pugh, of Corwen: tune, "Black Sir Harry."'

5. John Williams, of Oswestry: tune, the same. His performance elicited much applause.

6. Hugh Pugh, of Dolgelley: tune, "The King's Joy."

7. Rees Jones, of Llanrwst tune, "Sweet Richard."

The Silver Harp was awarded by the judges to Mr. John Williams of Oswestry, formerly a pupil of the celebrated blind harper, Richard Roberts, of Carnarvon. Pennillion singing followed, when the President stepped forward and stated that the contest of Pennillion singers would take place at the Town Hall, in the evening. Mr. Parry, the conductor, sang in fine taste a stanza of our inspiring national anthem, "God save the King." The whole meeting enthusiastically joined in the chorus. Sir Richard then called for three times three cheers for the King, which were given, as well as three times three for the president. The company then separated.

PENNILLION SINGING.

In the evening, the pennillion singers met at the Town Hall, and a very interesting contest was carried on for three hours. The medal was awarded to Joseph Williams, of Bagillt; and the premiums were equally divided between all the other competitors. The hall was crowded to excess, and the audience seemed to take the most intense interest in the proceedings. The following gentlemen were appointed judges:-Mr. John Parry, Rev. Evan Evans, A. O. Pughe, esq. and Bardd Nantglyn. The individual who had gained the silver harp in the morning was appointed to play on the occasion. After an arduous struggle, the judges decided in favour of Mr. Joseph Williams, of Bagillt, who was accordingly invested with the medal.

PROCEEDINGS AT BARON HILL.

About the hour of four in the afternoon, a large concourse of spectators assembled at Baron Hill, the splendid seat of Sir R. Bulkeley, to witness the ceremony of investing the successful candidates with silver medals, by their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, and her interesting child. The spot

вр

chosen for investing the bards and other successful candidates with the medals, was the terrace in front of the building, where they were duly invested by the Royal Visitors.

THE BALL.

The ball in the evening was honoured by the company of 250 individuals, comprising not only a great portion of the nobility and gentry of North Wales, but a galaxy of youth and beauty, which it would be difficult to equal in this or any other part of the King's dominions. We are for want of space constrained to omit notices of the regatta, balls, &c. &c.

Thus has terminated the proceedings of the Royal Eisteddvod at Beaumaris. Before we conclude, we must congratulate the friends of Welsh literature upon a resolution passed by the committee before they left Beaumaris, namely, that the surplus money shall not be diverted from the main object of the institution, but be strictly applied to Cambrian literary purposes."
