tained an 'order we went in the morning 'to sec
Penrhyn Castle, of the magnificence of which
wo had riiea'rd much, and found it all that it had
been represented. The present Castle, which
is quite a new building, is built of the Mona
marble, upon the siie of a palace erected in
720, by Roderic Moelwynog, Prince of Wales,
and cost With its furniture, half a million ster
ling: lt is built of Saxon architecture and with
its 'numerous buildings overlooked with lofty
turrets and towers,jnakes a very imposing ap
pearance. The mantles are made of different
species of marble, from 'tlin nfiiirhhnrhnnrl hih-
I ly polished, and in one rborh the bedstead, &c,
is "-of the same material, while in another is one
'I entirely of slate, from the celebrated slate quar-
j fids belonging to the estate, about 5 miles off,
ihCmost extensive in Great Britain. The views
j from many of the windows aud from the park
! were uncommonly fine.
Afier viewing this interesting place, we re
turned to the hotel and took coach to Caernar
von, 9 miles. As we got tipou it, (it was the
London coach,) a gentleman behind, seeing
our names iiu our portmanteaus, immediately
said we were namesakes, and upon inquiry
found thai he resided at Dublin, thai he was
sure we were originally from the same branch
'thai his father who lived in the North could
tell, and he would procure Us all information.
He. expressed himself very sorry lie was obliged
to be in Dublin next day, or he would go with
us to Caernarvon, but was obliged to leave at
the next hotel to take the Holyhead Coach. It
would be amusing if this accidental rencontre
should lead to the discovery of our relations
here.
''We reached Caettarvoh about 2 o'clock. It
js situated at the mouth of lhe Seiont, on a
small peninsula formed by that river and the
"brook Cadaunt, on the verge of the straits of
Menia, and for beauty of situation, buildings
and the grandeur and magnificence of its ruined
Castles, claims to be one of the boasts of North
Wales. The Castle is founded on a iock and
its walls lafe almost entire, although five hun
dred years have passed since their erection,
and present an appearance of extraordinaiy
strength, while iis light and lofty turrets exhibit
great elegance. It was built by Edward I,

river and Vale of the Dee, consisting of 19
stone arches, supporting an iron trough 1007
feet'ldhfc." I wish 1 could describe to you the
Butler and Miss Pdnsonbey, who retreated to
this vicinity and spent their lives in strict re
tirement. We rfeached Shrewsbury early in tho after
noon and having some leisure walked out 2
miles to see the celebrated oak, which Owen
Glendower ascended to reconnoitre from, be
fore the battle of Shrewsbury. It is said to
measure 44 feet 3 inches in. circumference and
is certainly the largest oak T ever saw, consid
erably larger than that at Blenheim. In the
morning we toctlva walk of 3 miles out to the
spot where the battle between Henry IV. and
Hotspur took place,, in which you well recolr
lect Shakspeaie makes Sir John Falstall" flour
ish very much. An ancient church is on the
place. The remains of the works thrown up
for defence are yet there, as distinct as though
the battle had not occurred 20 years ao, in
stead of over 400. We left Shrewsbury at 3
P. Mi for the banks of the beautiful Wye, and
slopped the same night at Hereford, the capi
tal ol rierelorushire, on the banks of that cele
brated stream. In the morning we took coach
for lioss 14 miles, passing over Acanbury Hill,
commanding a lovely view of what is called
the Golden Vale. Ross is a pretty little town
situated on a rock of that name and is celebra
ted by the appellation given of "The Man of
Ross," to Mr. John Kyrle, one of the inhabitants
whose public spirit and benevolence Pope
speaks so highly of. The view from tho Ho
tel is a very fine one. The Wye here bends
round like a ribbon through a beautiful vale,
with the ruins of Wilton Castle in the fore
ground. We visited Mr. Kyrle's old residence
and the church in which are some fine monu
ments of the Rudhale family, one of whom was
active in the civil war in favor of the Royalists.
In one corner are two thrifty young elm trees,
growing up by the sides of the pews, which
sprang from a tree plained by Mr. Kyrle.
Here is the commencement of the great beauty
of the Wye, and here are consequently kept
numerous boats for pleasure parties to descend
it. Although only 10 miles by the road, to
Monmouth, it is 25 by the river, so winding is
its course.
