This try hMivided into two territories, commonly C*alted North and South Wales, comprising twelve counties, and its extent says (W. His. of W. p 2.) " may be estimated by the following particulars: From Carmel Point to Chepstow on the Severn, is about 145 miles and from Birkenhead on the Mersey to Wormshead in Glamorganshire, about 140 miles. From the mouth of the Clwyd in Dcnbcigshire to Barry Island in Glamorganshire is about 140 miles, and from the mouth of the Dovey in Cardiganshire to Bridge-North on the Seuern, nearly 70 miles, while Braich-a-pwll Ifead in Carnarvonshire extends to the west beyond the mouth of the Dovey, about 30 miles and St. David's head in Pembrokeshire, about 50 miles, nbout 7,500 square miles of territory. It includes, beside the twelve counties, Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, with parts of Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Shrophshire and Cheshire," the former is in my opinion substantially a Welsh county, it certainly is in language and habits of tbe people, although included in the list of English counties at present, while portions of the others were also at one time no doubt part and parcel of Welsh territory,taken like Monmouthshire to enlarge the British territory; the whole surface of the country is moutaineoas, not unlike Pennsylvania, its highest mountain, being that of Snowdon, or Eryri, which is 3,571 feet above the level of the sea, next are Carned- Ltewellyn, 3,466 feet, Carned-David, yrarrig 2,999, and several.others of lesser height. Rivers it has many, among which I may name the 8evern, superior in every respect to any of the others, 190 miles long; next is the Wye and Towy, the Severn and Towy are to a certain point navigable and the whole three are celebrated for salmon fishing. A vast extent of this country is in & high state of cultivation and the other parts rich minerals, princ ipally beds and seams of coal and iron ore. . .

Now we do not mean by this any of those outbreaking of loud mirlb, nor what the world sometimes calls a "high flow of spirits," but a lightand airy equanimity of temper, that neither rises to boisterousness nor sinks to dulness, that moves gracefully from grave to gay, from seriousness to serene, and by mere manner gives of a feeling heart and generous mind.— The high and boisterous flow of spirits so often praiaed by the superficial world, that keeps up during a party or visit, and tben sinks down to absolute inanity, is, ob the other hand, a sure sign of £a course and 'vulgar nature. Let the women look to this matter j for though rarely coarse and their nsture, they may suffer from the coarseness of others, and should, therefore, set tbeir pretty faces against it, however much they may pretend that it is redeemed by the "dear fellow's " wild, rattling spirits. tPLAIX, ORNIMENTAL, HOUSE, darns, CASSIMERS.
