I.—That this Society will direct its particular attention to the moral and religious interests of the Welsh inhabitants of this City. II.—That this meeting think it would be productive of great benefit, if a Church could be opened in Chester, on Sunday evenings, for Divine Service in Welsh, for their countrymen in this City; many of whom are acquainted with no other language; at least, not in a degree adequate to the purpose of religious edification. III.—That application be made to the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, requesting his Lordship’s advice and assistance, towards the attainment of this object. IV.—That the RIGHT HONOURABLE EARL GROSVENOR be requested to accept the office of Patron. In consequence of the foregoing resolutions, applications were made to your Lordship’s distinguished father, the MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER, and to DR. BLOMFIELD—who was at that time Bishop of this Diocese—both of whom, with a promptness and cordiality, which the Committee of the Cambrian Society are anxious to mark with expressions of the warmest gratitude, accepted the invitation, and cheerfully enrolled their names as annual subscribers. At the same time, BISHOP BLOMFIELD so far exerted himself, as to procure the use of St. Martin’s Church, for the performance of Welsh service on Sunday evenings; and the individual, who now addresses your Lordship, was appointed, by the same Right Reverend Prelate, to the important situation of Chaplain to the Cambrian Society. Since the establishment of the Welsh Lectures, the Committee have great pleasure to record, in the list of Patrons and Subscribers, the names of several Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have rendered essential service to the cause, by their kind co-operation and liberal support. Amongst whom they have the honour to mention, the LORD MOSTYN, the BISHOPS OF CHESTER, BANGOR, and ST. ASAPH, SIR W. W. WYNN, BART. M.P. SIR S. R. GLYNNE, BART. M.P. the HON. E. M. LLOYD MOSTYN, M.P. SIR EDWARD MOSTYN, BART. OWEN WILLIAMS, ESQ. M.P. F. R. PRICE, ESQ. &c. &c. In Chester also, the undertaking was hailed with peculiar interest; and a number of the most respectable of its inhabitants have, from the commencement, displayed unabated zeal in forwarding the objects of the Society. I cannot conclude this part of my subject, without observing, that our present worthy Diocesan, has more than once, expressed his conviction of the usefulness of the Cambrian Institution, and his readiness, on all occasions, to promote its welfare.
