HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WALES.
BANGOR, TUESDAY, 3 O'CLOCK, P.M.—The official
intelligence of the intended visit of the Queen and the
Royal suite on Wednesday week to this locality, on
her return from Scotland, reached Bangor on Friday
last, since which time the greatest excitement has
been manifested among the loyal inhabitants of this
ancient city, in the anticipation of an event so grati-
fying and important in the eyes of everyone. Although
it was reasonable to suppose that her M ijesty would,
sooner or later, view that stupendous wonder of the
present era, the Britannia Tubular-bridge, yet the
announcement of the royal visit came unexpectedly ;
but it appears that good use has and will be made of
the short time that intervenes, in order to concert
such arrangements as are best calculated to display
the loyal enthusiasm so devotedly felt by the de-
scendants of the ancient Britons towards the person
of their gracious Sovereign.
Her Majesty, arriving by rail from Crewe, will
pass the night at Bangor, and, accordingly, no fewer
than 45 rooms, comprising nearly the whole of the
Penrhyn Arms Hotel, have been engaged.
A special train is intended to convey the royal
party to the Britannia .bridge, to see which is under-
stood to be the principal object of the •isit.
Sanguine expectations are likewise entertained
that her Majesty will proceed to Carnarvon (which
is only a few miles distant), in order to visit, with
the youthful Prince, the ruins of that famous old
castle, within the walls of which the first " Tywysog
Cymru "of the Saxon line saw the light. There is
no doubt that the local authorities of the place will
cordially co-operate with those of Bangor on this
eventful occasion.

When Princess Victoria, her Majesty, in the year
1832, was staying at Plas Newydd, the residence of
the Marquis of Anglesea, and the universal demon-
strations of respect evinced by the inhabitants of
Carnarvonshire, when, in 1848, she passed through
the Menai Straits have not been forgotten. We are
happy to add that there is now every prospect of
a renewal, on an extended scale, of those loyal scenes
on the part of the people.
A meeting of the principal inhabitants of the city
of Bangor was held at noon this day in the magis-
trates'-room, the Hon. Colonel Douglas Pennant,
M.P., iu the chair, to consider what steps should be
taken to welcome her Majesty on her arrival. No
official intimation having been received of her Ma-
jesty's wishes thereon, it was deemed proper to take
no steps with regard to the presentation of addresses,
lest it might be considered an intrusion upon her
Majesty's privacy. After some preliminary observa-
tions as to the desirability of the attendance of the
benefit dubs, schools, and other local public bodies, it
was determined that a committee be appointed, with
instructions to collect funds and apply them, in the
first place, for a public demonstration to greet her
Majesty on her progress from the railway station to
the hotel, and to appropriate any surplus money for
the purpose of regaling the poor. A subscription-list
was handed about. headed by the name of the Hon.
Chairman for 201., and upwards of 601. was sub-
scribed on the spot.
