: WALES, 
Valuable Historical Antique-—Upon mo- 
ving a pyramidal stone of prodigious magni- 
tude on the estate of Mr. Holford, of Kil- 
gwyn, a tablet with the following inscrip- 
tion was exposed to view : 
A PAWL A BRECEIhOdd un yvan 
hon hyd FLWdd An Ad Xxviii 
AG ELim AP OWen Goch 
ALAddwyd A C-C Addwydunman 
eaco f prec thy crift 1604. 
(July 1, 
which, when translated, we take to be “ St. 
Paul preached on this spot, about the year 
of our Lord 48;” and “ Elim ap Owen Goch 
suffered martyrdom, and was buried in the - 
same place for preaching Christ, 1604.” 
This is an antique of considerable importance 
in an historical point of view, determining, as 
far as such evidence can, the hypothesis of the 
Bishop of St. David—that St, Paul preach- 
ed the Gospel in Britain. When this in- 
scription was made does not appear; but, 
even admitting it was as late as the early 
part of the 17th century, it shows the exist- 
ence of a tradition to that effect, or of 
some historical record, of which this tablet 
is probably a transcript. From the dis- 
tinctness of the date, we are inclined to 
think the latter; and that our ancestors 
were desirous of transmitting this interest- 
ing fact to posterity is apparent, from the 
immense labour which must have attended 
the sepulture of this tablet. We congratu- 
late the principality upon the discovery of 
this ancient relic; and we congratulate the 
Bishop of St. David’s upon the discovery 
of this strong corroborating evidence, that 
Great Britain (aye, that Carmarthenshire) 
is within the limits of St. Clement’s 
Eig to Tepua tas Avoeos—a point for 
which his Lordship has contended long and 
earnestly. The discovery of this interest- 
ing tablet determined Mr, Holford to 
examine a cairn or twmulus, also upon his 
property, the result of which was the dis- 
covery of two earthern vases ; one of which, 
through the carelessnes of the workmen, 
was broken; the other, in which were 
human bones, was preserved, Under these 
also was found a tablet, with an inscription, 
partly Welsh, and partly corrupt Latin; of 
which the following is a transcript :— 
Hic JACET iN kAIRN hoN

Lloscod AD 427. 
This bears ‘the date of the fifth century, and 
is inscribed to the memory of Lupus, 
Bishop of Trecastle, whose remains it is 
supposed they contain. Both these disco- - 
veries were made in the parish of Mothvey. 
Menai Bridge.—Three more chains have 
been thrown over, and no accident has oc- 
curred. The road-way will be opened 
in a few weeks for foot-passengers and 
carriages. Mr. Telford, Mr. Hazledine, 
and Mr. Povis, were present, and seemed 
gratified at the success of this most stupen- 
dous and ingenious work. The work is 
not likely to be fully completed till next 
ear.
