REJOICINGS AT DOLGELLEY. A highly respectable party of about twenty gentlemen dined together at the Golden Lion Inn, on Monday, the 27th ult. to celebrate the coming of age of Edward Lloyd Edwards, Esq. of Dolserey, near that town. Mr Edwards is the only son and heir of John Edwards, Esq. of Dolserey, whose ancestors in the maternal line had lived there for near 300 years highly respected; the present proprietor is also a most active Magistrate of the county and the young gentleman, whose birth-day has been the cause of so much rejoicing at Dolgelley, has justly gained the respect and esteem of ail who have the pleasure of his acquaintance, by his mild and gentlemanly manners. David Evans Esq. of Fronfelau was called to the chair, supported on his right by the Rev. H. W. White, Rector of Dolgelley, and on his left by Hugh Reveley, Esq. Brynygwyn. Edward Owen, Esq. solicitor, was the Vice-President, A variety of entertaining toasts, songs, and sentiments passed in quick succession, and the party did not separate until it might be fairly be said that they had done justice to themselves and the interesting occasion which called them together. The church bells rang merry peals from five o'clock in the morning until near eleven o'clock at night; and in the evening an almost general illumination took place the town; bonfires were lit, and by means of a handsome subscription, headed by Sir R. W. Vaughan, M.P. Col. Vaughan, and Mr Williames Vaughan, the ringers and parties engaged looking after the bonfires were amply rewarded for their trouble with good payment and plenty of cwrw da. There was also a dinner at the Angel Inn, where most of the respectable tradesmen of the town met and enjoyed themselves until a late hour. The tenants of Dolserey, and their wives, were also entertained in the most liberal manner by their worthy landlord at his residence, where he had also a select party of friends and relations. The event was also celebrated in Barmouth, where the inhabitants of that spirited and rising watering-place testified their regard for their respected young neighbour by firing twenty-one rounds of cannon, and entering into liberal subscription to enable their less wealthy neighbours to drink health, long life, and happiness to the Heir of Dolserey, in bumpers of the best cwrw to be found in the town. This tribute of respect to an excellent son cannot fail to be, as it ought, highly gratifying to his respected parents, as to their friends and relations.
