Each vessel has two cabins, beautifully fitted up, light and airy; and every thing appears to have been attended to, that can either add to the comfort or safety of the passengers: expense has not been spared for that which was useful, and conducive to safety; and the equipment having been superintended by the late Captain Rogers, an experienced officer, on the Holyhead station, nothing has been misapplied. The passage is effected in from five and a half to seven hours, a distance of fifty-five miles; and the letters are delivered in Dublin from London in the short space of forty hours. In short, the attention which government has evinced to facilitate the communication between the two kingdoms merits every praise. Neither exertion nor expense have been spared in improving the roads from Shrewsbury to Holyhead, which improvements have been executed under the direction of Mr. Telford, who is now commencing on that from Chester to the above place; and now the suspension bridge over Conway Ferry (for which parliament voted 40,000_l._) is completed, in addition to that over the Menai at Bangor Ferry, but few persons will run the risk of a dilatory and dangerous passage by Liverpool, when they may have a certain and a safe one by Holyhead, with excellent roads and accommodation; and without the trouble of the ferries, which were formerly an inconvenience to persons taking this route. Near the centre of the town, on a rock close above the sea, is a church, on the site where _St. Cybi_, in A.D. 380, founded a small monastery, which, in 580, was converted into a college by _Maelgwyn Gwynedd_, or, according to some, by _Hwfa ap Cynddelw_, Lord of Llifon, one of the fifteen tribes of North Wales. James I. granted this college to Francis Morris and Francis Phillips, which afterwards became the property of Rice Gwyn, Esq. who bestowed the great tithes on Jesus College, Oxford, for the maintenance of two fellows and two scholars: from that time the parish has been served by a curate nominated by the college. This church is a handsome embattled edifice, built in the form of a cross, with this inscription, on a pediment of the north transept: “_Sancte Kyb. ora pro nobis_.” The walls of the churchyard are seventeen feet high, six feet thick, and form a quadrangle; three sides of which are evidently Roman, although ascribed to _Caswellon Llawhir_, a chieftain of Anglesea, in the fifth century: the east side is a modern low wall on the verge of the cliffs.
