Fishguard these troops were to have been landed in some part of Ireland, to have j made a diversion as soon as an account had been received of the landing of the first body of troops. The only mischief which they did in Wales was the plundering of two or three farm-houses, to the possessors of which, a compensation for their losses was made by government. On the 24th of February, 1798, the anniversary was kept on Goodie-lands, near Fishguard, where the French invaders laid down their arras. A very large congregation, calculated to amount to 20,000, assembled by ten in the morning; a convenient pulpit having been erected for that purpose, the service was begun by the Rev. Mr. Jones, vicar of St. Dogmeal’s ; and the first sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. David Jones, rector of Llangau, in Glamorganshire, from the 76th Psalm, and latter part of the 5th verse; and the second by the Rev. Mr. David Griffith, rector of Nevern, in that neighbourhood, from the 3rd of Lamentations, and verse 22. They were both present at the alarming invasion, and acknowledged obligations from all to the military, who were anxious to risk their lives for their king and country, hundreds of whom were present, but above all, the necessity of admiring the Lord’s interference that the enemy’s hands were weakened to prevent the shedding of blood, and that to his mercies alone was our preservation to be ascribed. The great solemnity observed on this oc- casion by the whole of the congregation may be more easily conceived than expressed. Fairs, February 5th, Easter-Monday, Whit-Monday, and November 17th. * FISKERTON UPON TRENT. This parish is situated upon the river Trent, over which there is a ferry to Stoke. Here was anciently a cell of Austin-friars, which was one of the very few houses granted to the laity in the time of Philip and Mary. f FLADBURY. This township is situated near the river Avon, in a Picturesque most delightful and picturesque part of the county. In the church, scenery. dedicated to St. John the Baptist, arc many old monuments, and the steeple forms a pleasing object from many of the adjacent parts of the village. + FLAM BOROUGH. The ancient town of Flamborough, situated in a hollow, near the centre of the promontory, is, at present, reduced to a large village, the population of which consists, for the greater part, of fishermen, who are distinguished as much for their spirit and adventurous activity, as their profession is for its dangers. They confine themselves, however, chiefly to their own coasts; seldom sending more than four boats to the Yarmouth herring-fisherv. The name has been variously derived: by Camden from yhej/ctme of a watch tower; by others from$
