Their vigilant friend and countryman, Kenyon, sent him a blank proxy, which he returned yesterday. He is anxious to be present at the discussion and to support his lordship by every means in his power for he considers the question to be one of vital importance. Moreover, he considers the Commission and its acts and its powers to be a national nuisance which has been and can only be productive of grievous injury to the Church and the State. What has been gained by the suppression of bishoprics in Ireland and England? 'Nothing but loss, and what must be thought in High Heaven of our proceedings here below, when on the altar of a worthless, senseless, and wicked expediency, we sacrifice even the cause of Religion itself.' His lordship, however, is fighting a good fight. He shrinks from appearing in the House of Lords. Besides, he has been by no means well. He ought to have reported to his lordship the exceedingly gratifying account of the examination of his lordship's son at Eton, particularly in Divinity.

His father let him take a catalogue of a very good sale. Hopes he will let him undertake the Counting house. Preparations being made for a second expedition. The porter is rose today which has caused the public houses to be less frequented than usual. Obliged for information of Mr. Berbeck's family.

Thanks for venison. Had news of his lordship by Mr. Johnes and Mr. Gwynne of Garth. His leg cured. Smedley, who had been remiss in his absence about the level and cottage, replaced by William Thomas. Mr. Townsend 's two sons dined at Havod. Matters settled between the latter and Ball. The lead merchants have hitherto combined to keep down the price of ore. Told by a friend from Flintshire that the merchant of that county will give £8 per ton for small and £9 for round ore and will buy as much as they can lay their hands upon. No proprietor of lead ore needs to delay the getting of it one moment.
