"FOUNDATION OF ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER.- In the last Cambrian we briefly noticed the solemn ceremony of laying the foundation of this College, by the Bishop of St. David's, on the 12th inst. The service of the day commenced with singing the Morning Hymn, and Prayers were read by the Rev. John Hughes, Curate. The sermon was preached by the Rev. John Williams, Vicar, from Malachi i. 7. The Priests' lips should keep knowledge. The object of the College, he observed, was the procuring a suitable education for young persons intended for the holy profession; to supply them with that knowledge which was necessary to qualify them for the very important office they were to undertake.

"Schools were founded at Antioch, Rome, and various other places for the edu cation of Ministers of the Gospel; and at an earlyperiod, seminaries were founded for the same important purpose, in this country, at Bangor, at Caerleon or Usk, and at Llani

versities of Oxford and Cambridge, and in latter times Colleges were established at St. David's, Llanddewi-brevi, and Brecon. Although the most active and able promoters of the reformation were learned men, and greatly favoured learning; yet there was reason to regret that no means were provided at the time, for the educa tion of young persons for Holy Orders in the Principality. To supply the omission which then took place, was the object of the Seminary which was about to be esta uni-blished, and in the conclusion of a most excellent sermon he implored the Divine blessing on the undertaking, and warmly

hoped it would answer the important purpose for which it was designed.

"The sermon having been concluded, and the Bishop having pronounced the blessing, the whole company went in procession to the site of the College; first, the Royal Cardigan Military Band, next the Scholars of the Grammar School, two and two, then the Clergy in their canonicals, afterwards the Magistrates, the whole closing with the Bishop in his robes in his carriage, and the Band playing a slow Welch Air. Abraham Gray Harford Battersby, Esq. in the name of himself and of his brothers John Scandret Harford, Esq. and Alfred Harford, Esq, Lords of the Manor of Lampeter, who had given the land for the site of the College, in an eloquent speech, of considerable length, expressed the very great satisfacton which he enjoyed in being present on the peculiarly interesting occasion, and the happiBess which he and his brothers reaped in contributing thereto.

"The Deed of Conveyance of the site read by the Registrar of the Diocese, Charles Morgan, Esq. in which two acres, three roods, and twenty-nine perches of land were assigned by the said Lords of the Manor of Lampeter to the Lord Bishop of St. David's, Herbert Evans, Esq. and John Jones, Esq. in trust for the purpose of the proposed College being erected thereon. His Lordship then proceeded to state the great happiness he felt on the occasion, and to deliver expressions of gratitude which was due to Mr. Battersby and the rest of the Lords of the Manor of Lampeter, for the liberal and truly munificent manner in which they had come forward and supported the institution; but the very extraordinary circumstances in in which his Lordship was placed, witnessing the effect of eighteen years exertion and perseverance, and contemplating the magnitude of the work which was about to be commenced, and the vast importance it would be to posterity, so affected his feelings that he soon became inaudible, and he was shortly after unable to proceed. The 100th Psalm was next sung, in which most of the persons present joined, and the effect was truly sublime. The more immediate ceremony of laying the foundation stone then commenced, when the Bishop with a silver trowel spread some mortar in the place where it was to remain, which being done, the stone which had been previously suspended by a chain affixed to a pulley over it, was let down, and his Lordship then struck it with a hammer to fix it securely, Some gold, silver, and copper current coins of the

realm, were next placed In a circular cavity prepared in the upper part of the stone, and a brass plate was fixed thereon, on which was an inscription containing the date of the day and year, and expressing that it was the birth-day of his Majesty, King George the Fourth. Prayers ex-. tracted from those of the Church Union Society were afterwards read by the Rev. C. Phillips, the Bishop's Chaplain; and the Anthem God save the King concluded the ceremony.

"In the afternoon, a highly respectacle company assembled in the Town Hall, and partook of an excellent dinner. After which the Bishop gave the King for the first toast, which was drank with great loyalty and enthusiasm. John Lewis, Esq. of Llanayron, who presided at the second table, after having descanted on the vir tues of our Sovereign, said that the toast which was most appropriate to follow it was the Lord Bishop of St. David's, to whose extraordinary exertions they were all indebted for the gratification they hadthat day received, and from which the country would receive the most extensive benefits. His Lordship, on hearing himself so eloquently adverted to, was so affected on the occasion, that his sensibility would not permit him to return thanks for the distinguished manner in which he had been noticed, and requested Mr. Battersby, who sat near, to thank the compauy for him; and on his Lordship's retiring, he said it was the happiest day he had ever experienced in public life.

"The great superiority of the new site over that of Llanddewi Brevi has given a new impulse to the undertaking, and has brought an accession of most liberal benefactions. The following is a list of the most recent His Majssty 1000%, the University of Oxford 2001. the Provost and Fellows of Oriel College, Oxford 100/. the University of Cambridge 2001. the Lords of the Manor of Lampeter (beside the site for the College) 1000l. John Jones, Esq. Derry Ormond, 5007. Major Evans Highmead, 150l. the Lord Bishop of St. David's, 100l. Rev. J. Williams, V. Lampeter, 100l. Rev. F. Gough, Ystradgunlais, (beside the promise of a Benefice in his Patronage) 501. R. Hart Davies, Esq. 50l. Thomas Jones, Esq. Noyadd, 100%. These benefactions, together with those of 10l. and upwards, of which a list was also given, amounted in the whole to 83051. 2s.

We think proper to mention that the site of the College is in the outskirts of the town of Lampeter, adjoining to the public road which leads towards Aberyst

with, and was originally the Court Yard of the Castle. Agreeably to the plan of the architect, Mr.Cockerell, the College is to consist of a Quadrangle, or a Build ́ing of four sides, of an oblong form, having an open square in the inside of 130 feet in length, and 105 in breadth. The

extent of the square on the outside is to be 222 long, and 161 broad. It is to consist of one floor only, besides the ground floor, and to contain a chapel, a tall, apartments for the Master and Professors, and rooms for about seventy Students, besides necessary offices, as kitchen, &c.

POLITICAL RETROSPECT.

THE approaching Congress at Verona, to which the Duke of Wellington has been dispatched as representative of the King of Great Britain, leads naturally to those speculations upon foreign policy in which Englishmen are so fond of indulging;

and in which they find such ample opportunities for exhibiting their ignorance and presumption.

The present season is peculiarly suited to a repetition of these harmless fooleries. The quid nunc is actually in despair from want of

Hunt and Carlile are still in prison -Mr. Hume is on a visit to his constituents in Scotland--the Irish famine is at an end-the Chronicle and the Times have nothing better to do than deny the loyal reception of the King by his Scottish lieges, and speak evil of the clergy of his Majesty's southern dominions; and the nation shows symptoms of an approaching lethargy, produced by the mere excess of tranquillity and good humour. John Bull's gullibility is at its highest pitch. He is delighted with the Irish committee for relieving him of a few hundreds of thousands; he pays sixpence a pound for his mutton, and eightpence a loaf for his bread, when the farmer could supply him at half the price he is resolved that every person in the kingdom shall make a profit of cent. per cent. upon his capital; and is very much inclined to go to war with all Europe in hopes of destroying the Grand Seignior, and establishing the freedom of the Spanish press.

employment and conversation with the general rule. On a sudden the circumstances changed, and our consistent politicians changed with them. Only, as the change was such as to authorize a return to the abstract principle, they immediately raised their voices in defence of the special exception. The moment this nation was out of danger, it ceased to have any right of interference with the government of other countries; and from that very moment, the right which had been denied during its existence and exercise was proclaimed to be indefeasible, and was recommended for immediate use. With France, (monarchical France) with Spain, with Naples, with Austria, and now, in the most recent instance, with Turkey and Greece, the British ministry are denounced for refusing to interfere and sentence is passed against them by the identical individuals who told us we must sit still and see the French upset our constitution rather than endeavour to procure the restoration of their King. There is a degree of ludicrous folly in this sudden change of sentiment which cannot be attri buted to errors of the understand ing. It evidently proceeds from party spirit-from a feeling of dislike to men rather than measuresfrom a determination to censure every thing right or wrong.

Never was there a finer instance of the bewildering effects of party spirit than the sudden change of sentiment respecting foreign policy, which the popular and opposition parties have undergone. From the commencement to the conclusion of the French war they had one unvaried chaunt, which they sang out with the dulness of a cuckoo While the democrats of Frauce proclaimed war against all kings, priests, and nobles, encouraged sedition in every city, received and honoured the ambassadors of treason, and threatened us with an invasion and an overthrow, nothing was to be heard from a certain class of poli ticians but outcries against interference with the government of other nations—nothing but stale unprofitable repetitions of a principle which was true in the abstract, but which admitted of exceptions in, particular cases. One of those particular cases occurred, and so long as it lasted we were deafened

We trust that the majority of the British public will not suffer them. selves to be deluded by such arguments as these. Whether the case under consideration be Spain or Turkey, the British minister has but one line of conduct to pursue. He is bound to refuse all interference on the part of his own government, and to protest against it on the part of other powers. Spain is suffering under complicated miseries: the king and the revolutionists alike aspire to the supreme controul, and appear to be withheld from it only by their weakness and folly. The soi-disant constitution is an unlicked lump of absurdity-acknowledging a monarch but taking away the mo
