were escorted to Llanymynech by a party of the Montgomeryshire cavalry, where the Oswestry squadron of N. S. Cavalry, under the command of Captain Croxon, were in attendance to receive the royal party. Nothing could exceed the manifestation of attachment to the illustrious travellers, which was displayed along the " Marches" by the " Borderers;" the road was literally lined to catch a glance at the heiress-apparent, who bowed to the populace. The Rockmen welcomed them across the Virniew with a royal salute of twenty-one rounds from the hill; the roar of which and the regularity of the discharges astonished every one. A quantity of sandwiches and bottled stingo from Sweeney-hall, was very handsomely sent down to the cavalry at Llanymynech, previous to the Princess's arrival, near the Red Lion; and Captain Croxon had also ordered open house for his squadron at the Cross Keys just before. The houses, gates, &c. were decorated at this place, as were those at Pant, Sweeney, and Morda, on the road to Oswestry. At that town the illustrious visitors were received at the turnpike by the high steward (the Hon. Thomas Kenyon), the deputy mayor, the coroner, and other members of the corporation, in their robes, and a great number of the gentlemen, tradesmen, &c. of the town, with white staves, together with an inmense multitude from the town and country. Lord Clive descended from the carriage in which he had accompanied Sir John Conroy, and proceeded with the corporation on foot to the Wynnstay Arms, at a slow pace; the carriage, in which was Sir John, the Princess's carriage, and the attendants in a third, following one another, gave the people an opportunity of seeing the distinguished persons. The rush, however, at the inn was tremendous, which notwithstanding seemed to delight the Duchess and the Princess. An address had been prepared by the corporation, but an express had been sent off the previous evening to the deputy mayor from Powis Castle, to say that her Royal Highness could not vary from her usual practice, in not receiving addresses from places where she did not stop. This unfortunate etiquette prevented its delivery, and the Princesses remained a short time in their carriage opposite the Wynnstay Arms, the suitable attire of the drivers and the horses from which inn was highly creditable. In the midst of the acclamations of the people, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, high steward, congratulated the royal visitors in the name of the corporation; and, in conclusion, was commanded by the Duchess to inform the "good people of Oswestry," of "the very great satisfaction she felt at the manner in which she was received by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood; and that she felt obliged by their loyal and affectionate feeling, manifested towards herself and the Princess Victoria." "The instory of Oswestry," compiled by Mr. Minshul!, Oswestry, was presented to them, as they sat in their carriage, and was most graciously accepted. The horses having been put to, the carriages moved onwards, the corporation, gentlemen, &c. walking slowly before, through the town, stopping at intervals, to gratify the eager gaze of the well-dressed thousands in the town. The streets of Oswestry presented, in appearance, avenues of oak and laurel, with innumerable flags, streamers with appropriate inscriptions, ladies waying their handkerchiefs, &c. The corporation and gentlemen conducted the cavalcade to the Beatrice Gate, and the Oswestry squadron continued to escort it to Chirk-bridge; Captain Croxon riding on one side of the royal carriage, and Cornet Nicolls on the other. Here they were met by Sir W. W. Wynn, in his splendid uniform of aidecamp to the king, and a body of the Denbighshire cavalry in waiting to receive them, with a multitude of ho best Cambrians rending the air with shouts; Lord Clive and Sir E. Conroy then descended from their carriage, and introduced Captain Croxou to the Duchess. Sir Watkin then took charge of his illustrious visitors, (hav

ing been previously introduced by his lordship,) after the Duchess had expressed her high opinion of the officers and gentlemen of the Oswestry squadron of cavalry under his command, who returned to the New Inn, Gledrid, where they partook of an excellent dinner.

CHIRK.

The roar of cannon from the castle announced the arrival at Chirk; which place they passed through greeted by the inhabitants. The cavalry, previous to the arrival of the Duchess, had been plentifully regaled at the Hand hotel. The scene at the bridge was very imposing; the two bodies of cavalry meeting on the confines of England and Wales; the sun darting his rays on the bright helmets of the cavalry; the assembly of the people; the roar of cannons, &c. will not soon be effaced from the minds of the spectators.

At Newbridge, a royal salute was fired from four 9-pounders on the royal approach, by the staff of the Royal Denbighshire Militia, under the command of Captain Jones; the party turned to the right at the bridge, and proceeded into Wynnstay Park, under the new entrance on the banks of the Dee, to the princely residence of Sir W. W. Wynn. A great number of carriages of the neighbouring gentry attended. We regret to state, that a fatal accident happened to a poor woman in the throng, which completely threw a damp upon the spirits of every one. We have been informed that the worthy baronet had expended about £1,200 to celebrate the arrival of his royal guests, which could not be carried into effect on account of the accident, in the joyful manner anticipated. We understand £20 was immediately presented to the deceased's husband for the funera!, &c. The royal party attended church on Sunday, where the service was performed by the Rev Rowland Wingfield, A. M., private chaplain to Sir Watkin. The Duchess, probably, owing to the great congregation which had assembled, became indisposed in church, upon which a messenger was sent to Wrexham (who arrived there in eighteen minutes) for a medical gentleman, and her Royal Highness was soon restored to health.

LLANGOLLEN.

Their Royal Highnesses on the Monday following visited the Aqueduct at Pontycyssyllte, accompanied by Sir W. W. Wynn, bart., and Mr. Stanton, and inspected that great work nearly an hour. Thence they proceeded to Llangollen, and changed horses at the King's Head, (now “ Royal Hotel.”) The inhabitants decorated their houses with festoons of laurels, evergreens, flowers, &c. The portico over the door of the above hotel was highly ornamented, over which was placed the royal crown; a very large triumphal arch was also thrown over the street, about twenty yards from the door, highly decorated as above. The royal party remained about half an hour, during which time the dense crowd occasionally complimented them with deafening acclammations of "God bless," &c. &c. "Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria, and her amiable mother." The windows of the Hand Hotel and of the King's Head, &c. were full of ladies, waving their handkerchiefs, which was most graciously acknowledged. Every one was delighted with the affability and condescension of their Royal Highnesses.

The royal visitors arrived in safety at Bangor, inspected the suspensionbridge, accompanied by Mr. W. Provis, &c. and terminated their journey for a day or two at Beaumaris, Anglesey.

The royal visitors proceeded through Bangor on their way to Beaumaris, on Monday, about five in the afternoon.

Soon after crossing the Menai Bridge, the guns of the Craig-y-don yachts fired a royal salute, and upon the cavalcade entering Beaumaris, the royal

ladies were most enthusiastically greeted by the loud acclamations of the whole population. The royal standard was hoisted upon the battlement of castle and in front of the Bulkely Arms hotel, the vessels in the bay displayed their colours, and festoons of ribands, flowers, and evergreens were hung across the main street leading to the hotel.

On reaching the hotel the royal party were waited upon by the landlady Mrs. Bicknell, who had been indefatigable in making every requisite preparation for the suitable reception of her illustrious guests. Within a few minutes after their arrival, the Duchess appeared on the portico, leading by the hand the youthful Princess. They were received with deafening shouts of applause from the immense multitude which filled the street in front of the hotel. The young Princess at once displayed all the buoyancy of spirit so beautifully characteristic of her time of life, and the bloom of healthful beauty.

On Tuesday afternoon the royal ladies walked across the green to the landing place, where a ten-oar barge belonging to the yacht waited for them. The barge crew received them with the appropriate naval honours, and with the royal standard displayed at the stern. They were rowed alongside the royal yacht, and immediately on their coming on board the standard of England was hoisted at the main, and the yacht getting under weigh stood down as far as Puffin Island, and returned to her anchorage at half past three o'clock, when the barge was manned and the royal party were rowed to shore with the same ceremonies which had attended their embarkation. A great number of the respectable inhabitants and visitors of Beaumaris were assembled on the green, whose respectful salutations were returned by the Duchess and Princess with condescension and affability.

On Wednesday morning a meeting of the mayor, bailiffs, and capital burgesses of Beaumaris was held at the council chamber; when it was resolved to present a congratulatory address to the Duchess and Princess on the occasion of their visit to Beaumaris.

The address was moved by T. P. Williams, Esq., seconded by W. W. Sparrow, Esq., and unanimously adopted by the meeting.

On Thursday morning the mayor (Rowland Williams, Esq.) and a deputation, waited on the Duchess at the Bulkeley Arms hotel; when the following address was read by the mayor :

"We the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses of the ancient and loyal borough of Beaumaris, beg to express the sincere pleasure and gratification afforded us by the presence of your Royal Highness in this island; as well as our grateful sense of the distinguished honour conferred upon the borough, by your Royal Highness having condescended to make choice of it as a place of residence for yourself and your illustrious daughter.

United as we are by the bonds of duty, loyalty, and attached to our most gracious Sovereign and every member of his illustrious house, we entreat your Royal Highness will accept our strongest assurance of respect and attachment towards yourself, as well as to your illustrious daughter, and sincerely hope your Royal Highness may enjoy lengthened years of uninterrupted health and happiness.

Signed, at the council chamber in the name and on the behalf of the corpo ration of Beaumaris, this eight day of August, 1832.

ROWLAND WILLIAMS, Mayor."

The following was her Royal Highness's answer to the address:"Mr. Mayorand Gentlemen,—I have to thank you, most warmly, for the Princess and myself, for the manner in which you express yourselves, on our visit to this charming place.

We receive with much gratification your assurances of good feeling to us,

dictated, as they are, by your loyal attachment to the king; and which has led you to receive us with so much attention."

A most numerous meeting of the inhabitants and visitors of the town, was also held in the Guildhall, on Wednesday afternoon, at one o'clock, pursuant to a requisition, for the purpose of deciding upon the best mode of testifying their respect for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and her illustrious daughter:when it was resolved, that an address drawn up by the Rev. Dr. Howard, and seconded by the Lord Bishop of Dromore, should be presented to her Highness, by a deputation consisting of,

Lord Bishop of Dromore.
Richard Armit, Esq.

Richard Gresley, Esq.

Francis Prendergast, Esq.

Sir Daniel Bailey

Rowland Williams, Esq., Mayor.

Rev. Dr. Howard.

John Wright, Esq.

William P. Poole, Esq.

Rev. Mr. Bold.

Mr. Archdeacon Saurin.

Leonard Raisbeck, Esq.
W. Molineaux, Esq.

Thomas Peers Williams, Esq., M. P.

Richard Howard, Esq.

Rev. Bulkeley Williams.
Mr. Batley.

The deputation accordingly waited upon her Royal Highness at the hotel, on Thursday morning: when the following address was presented and read by the Rev. Dr. Howard :

"We, the undersigned, the inhabitants and visitors of the town of Beaumaris, anxious to manifest the high consideration we entertain for your royal person, and the regard in which we hold your character and virtues, beg leave to express the gratification we feel in seeing your Royal Highness and the Princess Victoria in the island of Anglesey.

With that loyal attachment which has so long characterised our country, we hail the arrival of your Royal Highness amongst us, with a respectful and affectionate welcome; and offer our most ardent hopes, that an excursion which has brought to us so much honour and delight, may prove to your Royal Highness and the Princess Victoria, a source of grateful recollection and renovated health.

Whether as a princess or a mother, we humbly express our warmest wishes for your welfare; may your Royal Highness long continue, as the one, to adorn the high station in which you live; and as the other, to receive the reward of your maternal anxieties and cares, in the future happiness and prosperity of your illustrious daughter."

The following was her Royal Highness's answer:—

66

My Lord and Gentlemen,—It is not easy for me to express to you my feelings, in return for the sentiments you have just conveyed to me; be assured, I am most deeply sensible of them.

It is very agreeable to the Princess and myself, in fixing in this interesting part of the country, to receive from the inhabitants and visitors of Beaumaris such marks of attention, as a proof of their loyal attachment to the king."

Shortly after receiving the addresses, the Duchess and Princess, with their suite, got into their carriages, and drove to Carnarvon. On reaching the Menai Bridge, a royal salute was fired from a battery of guns planted in the vicinity.

At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, a town meeting was held in the Guildhall, Mr. Bailiff Parry in the chair, at which it was resolved, that an address should be presented, and that a procession should be formed of the bur

gesses and other respectable inhabitants to meet her Royal Highness and her illustrious daughter. It was also resolved, that in the absence of the deputy mayor, Joseph Goddard, esq. should be requested to officiate as his representative, with which request Mr. Goddard complied.

A most numerous procession was accordingly formed at half past twelve, in front of the Uxbridge Arms Hotel, from whence it advanced, preceded by a band of music, about a mile on the Bangor Road, and there awaited the approach of the royal visitors.

At a quarter past one, the cavalcade came up, and the carriages having halted, Mr. Goddard was introduced to their Royal Highnesses by Sir John Conroy. On the arrival of the royal visitors at the hotel, a salute was fired from the guns on Twthill.-In a few minutes the Duchess, accompanied by the Princess, appeared at one of the windows of the hotel, when they were received with the most deafening acclamations by the dense multitude in front, which appeared highly gratifying to the illustrious ladies, who acknowledged in the most condescending manner the marks of esteem and respect shewn them by all ranks and classes.

The deputation appointed to present the following address, were then received by the Royal Highnesses :

"Madam,-We, the deputy mayor, bailiffs, burgesses, and other inhabitants of the ancient and loyal borough of Carnarvon, humbly beg to approach your Royal Highness and the Princess Victoria with sincere congratulations on your arrival in the Principality; but more particularly to express our high gratification at the honour now done to our town, the birth-place of the royal Edward.

We sincerely trust that your Royal Highness will experience much gratification and enjoyment amidst our wild and romantic scenery, and that the pure air of our mountains may be the means of permanently establishing your Royal Highness in the best of health.

We avail ourselves of this opportunity, to express our warmest feelings of loyalty to our most gracious sovereign, and humbly to request your Royal Highness to accept the assurance of our highest esteem and respect." To which her Royal Highness was graciously pleased to return the following answer:

"Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,-The Princess and myself were not aware that this visit, of which you could hardly have been apprized, would have permitted you to shew us this attention. But the loyalty of your ancient borough to the king, has led you to hasten to offer us, as members of his family, the demonstrations of attachment that have marked our reception here to-day; and for which we are most grateful."

After partaking of refreshment, in which they were joined by Mr. Goddard, by the special invitation of the Duchess; the royal party accompanied by the same procession as before, proceeded to visit the venerable ruins of Carnarvon Castle.

On arriving at the castle, the royal party entered by the principal gate, and after inspecting the interior, and ascending to the top of one of the turrets which flank the eagle tower, they returned to their carriages, and proceeded by Castle-street and High-street, through the Porth yr Aur to the quay, where the barge was waiting to convey them to the royal yacht. Joseph Goddard, Esq. had the honour of handing the Duchess and her illusrious daughter into the boat, in which they were rowed to the royal yacht amidst the thundering of artillery, and the cheering of almost all the population of the town and neighbourhood of Carnarvon, who crowded the quay, the walls, and shipping in the port, and every spot from whence a view of the royal embarkation could be procured. Having received the
