A SIGNALLY great and powerful work of grace has lately commenced, and still continues increasingly to proceed, In the principality, almost every church having, in some measure, participated in its divine and blessed influence.
The cheering result is a general awakening, as well as a vast amount of additions within the last six or seven months. I am happy that notwithstanding the unprecedented stir, the said revivals have not been accompanied with any extravagant enthusiasm, or wild unseemly excitement, as too often is the case when an extraordinary increase takes place. It evidently appears that Divine agency has been, and still continues to be, at work, to a surprisingly great and glorious degree, amongst us. The Lord is doing great things for us, whereof we are glad.
Thousands of immortal souls are snatched from the grasp of the evil one, and brought to the knowledge of the truth; many of whom were notorious in sin, and ringleaders in the service of satan, but now are docile and submissive subjects of Immanuel, having willingly bowed to his sceptre, together with hundreds that have been wandering; some of them for years, from the fold of their Saviour, who are returning with weeping, begging to be restored again to the enjoyment of the gracious privileges of God's house.

TREDEGAR, English, -Since our last report we have had a few more delightful baptismal services. On Sept. 2, our pastor, Mr D. Evans, immersed twelve believers; and on Sept. 9, twenty-two more. On Sept 30, after a discourse by Mr Watkins of Bristol, Mr F. baptized nine candidates; and on Oct 7, eight more joyfully followed their Redeemer through the watery tomb - four of these were scholars from the sabbath school, affording encouragement and joy to the teachers, who are indefatigable in their efforts, not only to teach the children to read, but to understand the Word of God. Our place of worship, on each occasion, was crowded to excess by interesting and attentive audiences, and deep and solemn impressions appeared to rest powerfully upon all.

The Welsh chapel added 232 people during this revival.
A bad cholera outbreak took place roughly at the same time as the revival (May-Oct). 203 of the townspeople died in the outbreak.
The church closed in the late 20th century; I assume it was demolished. I think the place mnarked is roughly where it was.
