THE ROYAL TOUR.

We are now enabled to give some interesting
particulars relative to the visit of his MAJEiTY to
the sister kingdom, and his "route from London to
the place of embarkation. It is expected the King
will proceed direct to Shrewsbury, by way of 0 x-
ford , Chipping-Norton, Stratford,. and Bridge-
uorth, with the exception of stopping for a day
at the seat of Cecil Forester, Esq. From Shrews-
bury his. Majesty t will go to Wynnstay, the hos-
p_itable and delightful seat of Sir W. W. Wynn,
part.
-!.J.rr
e will make his entrance along the
beautiful and picturesque vale of • the Dee, and
cross that river below the grounds of Wynnstay,
the romantic situation of which is the theme
of admiration of every traveller. The Sove-
reign, it is said; will be escorted from Shrews-
bury, by divisions of the yeomanry cavalry of
the County of Salop, and the royal stay there
will probably not exceed 2 days, but preparations
are making to give the Monarch the most magni-
ficent reception the short time will alloW. His
.LVlajesty will be accompanied by his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Clarence, and probably the
,Duke of .York ; the Duke ofWellington, the
Secretary of State for the Home Depart;lient,
aucl a large train of nobility, exclusive of those
us the Monarch's personal suite.• The Bards of
Cambria are summoned to welcome-their Prince
in
.the impressive and hearty manner of". the days
of olden times." The minstrels are to be under
the superintendence of J. Parry, Esq. of London,
who is -coming down for the purpose. On such
an occasion, Winnstay will, indeed, be in her
gloi•y; and the heart of every ancient Britain
leap in• his bosom ! From the seat of Sir
Wathin his Majesty will he escorted to Holyhead
by the yeomanry cavalry of the principality;
but whether the King will 'stop for a night on the
road is not known ; if such should be the royal
will, PlasnWydd, the seat of the gallant Marquis
of Anglesea, is spoken of as the mansion .fixed
Upon. A completely new line of road is making
for the Royal approach to Wynnstay, in order to
give full effect to the superlative scenery of that
delightful neighbourhood.- His Majesty and the
select party who will be honoured with admis-
-4011 to the Royal table, will dine in the room in
front of the house ; the great party of the nobility
and gentry will dine in the- great room in the
south wing, to which the Sovereign and the com-
pany will afterwards adjourn : this room, it will
be recollected by all who have seen it, commands
exquisite views of Chirk and its venerable
Castle, the vale of the Dee, over which
is erected the airy fabric of Poutycisylte
Aqueduct, the Breidden hills beyond Oswestry,
the mountainous country spreading -towards
Kynaston's Cave, the Berwen range of hills, &c.
A great number of men are now employed at
Wynnstay, expediting and completing the altera-
tions, in the best way the shortness of the time
will permit. His Majesty will enter the house
under a splendid canopy of crimson velvet,
spreading from the south front across the flower
garden, which environs that part. Several apart-
. Ments are fitting up with the Royal colours ; and
the room in which the King will sleep is hung
with crimson velvet, and gold and silk lace ; the
bed, chairs, &c. en suite. Cannon will be plant-
ed in commanding situations in the extensive park,
•to welcome the Monarch of Great Britain with
loyal salutes. On the Waterloo Tower, erected
by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, in 1816, to coin.-
tneniorate the glorious triumph over the despot
of France,:will be hoisted the Royal Standard
of England. The illustrious cavalcade will enter,
Wynnstay Park at New Bridge llill,•and ap-
Proach the house .by way of Nant y Bellin
Tower, forming a route of nearly eight miles in
the grounds.of the demesne, before arriving ;it the
seat of hospitality. In the line of this delightful
drive, numerous triumphal arches will be thrown
ever the road ; in -short, every means will be
adopted to do all possible honour to the beloved
Monarch of these realms. The:yeomanry cavalry,
of Denbighshire and Flintshire will, we Lnder-
stand, meet the Royal Cortege near Gobowen,
between Chirk and Oswestry. The stay of his
-Majesty:at Wynnstay will be two days and two
sicr Chronicle.)

WonniusG JUNE 7.—We are happy to find
that ancient and highly respectable body " the
Preemasons" is daily extending its branches
from the- venerable stern. Worthing on Tuesday
Presented a scene of gaiety unprecedented, it
teing the day of meeting of the i'rovincial Grand
-undge of the County, and for the purpose of
constituting t lte Royal- Sussex. Lodge, lately esta-
blished at this place by the Rev. Joie: FE Tor-
NELL, the Deputy provincial Grand Master.-
-rhe business of the day being concluded, u dies
Were admitted to the Lodge-room, where they
'were highly entertained by Mr. WRIGHT, the,
provincial Grand Organist, and Mr. BEST, the
Organist of the Royal Sussex Lodge, who pre-
Sided at the organ on the occasion ; after which,
a suitable address being delivered to them, they
"tired' gratified and delighted, with hearts pre-
°ssessed in favour of the craft, and only regret-
tingr the regulations of the Society prevented their
becoming Members of a body so universally re-
"
,P'eted for their constant practice of every moral
and social virtue. It has been usual on these
occasions for the Brethren to attend Divine wor-
811P, and offer their prayers at the shrine of the
,
4`,Ving-Gon : but we regret extremely to hear
tnat the. officiating Curate prevented their doing
.Bcl by the refusal of his pulpit for that purpose.
"e enter not into the feelings of the Curate
of the Worthing Chapel, yet cannot but consider
his refusal as an extraordinary act, when we find
him individually opposing himself to a body
Which has stood the test of time, and has the
immediate patronage of our most gracious and
beloved SOVEREIGN and his illustrious Family.—
The Rev, Mr. CARTWRIGIIT, the Provincial
Grand Chaplain, delivered an enlightened and
elegant address to the Brethren, which left no
room for them to regret the absence of the Rev.
Curate, however much they deplored the depri-
vation of the Chapel. The day was finished at
the festive board, where harmony and convivia-
lity reigned, and the party retired, pleased with
the sumptuous entertainment provided for them
