END OF THE ROYAL VISIT TO WALES.  Her Majesty's public engagements in Wales ended with Monday's visit to Llangollen and Corwen. On Tuesday she rested at Pat, ouly appearing outside the gates of the mansion for it drive to Balla Lake. Anioug the visitors at the house in the mornjug was Mr. Evan Morris, the Mayor of Wrexham, who attended by the Queen's command to receive the honour of knighthood, in recognition of the Bpleudid reception given her Majesty by the town ot which he is the municipal chief. Sir Evan Morn-, as henceforth he must he culled, admirably :wed represents tLo spirit of enterprise which has developed the industries now flourishing around Wrexham. Ile belongs to the class of self-made men, and has riseu from a humble ntatiou by sheer force of ability and resource. Shortly before uoou on T.:esday Prineess Beatrice, who was accompanied by her huabavd, left Llanderiel in a special Great Western train, and proceeded t o Baimouth for the purpose of laying the foundation. stone of it church about to be erected in, or rather above, that sandy watering-place. The train sped on past Balla Junction, and skirting the shores of the lake reached, Come way beyond its farther extremity, the watershed, inOft above the sea, where the Dee starts eastward on its journey to the ocean, and the Wniou travel duo west with the IMMO intent. Down the Valley of the Wuiou the Royal train ran swiftly, erwsing from side to side of the little river, passing beta eeu an avenue of verdure till quaint Beigelly came in sight, the giant mass of Crider rising directly behind it. Here the population showed much interest in the passing of the Princess. Flags were floating from the church-tower mud public buildings, the bells ringinz merrily. The station was decorated, and groups of people stood wherever a view ot the traiu could be had. Leaving the town behind, the Princess soon looked upon the magnificent estuary of the Mawddaeli, than which no European country has auythiug finer to show. Unfortunately the tide was low, and the superb prosptet of laud and water could not be seen at its host; but, tine or no tide, the estuary is always commanding and impressive. Crossing to Barntouth by the well-known viaduct, the Royal train rearmed the station in good time, and the special business of the day was at once entered upon. If it cannot be raid that the laying ,the foundstiue.stone of an edifice belonging to an " alien " church was a very popular e vent— aud, truth to tell, the people seemed to take the very simplest interest in it—it was clear euough that a hearty wrAceme for the Princess was intended. Barmouth had got itself up in gay attire, with flags everywhere, mists and trophies on each side the street, mottoes iu Welsh and English, evergreens, wreattisoud so ou through all the paraphernalia of rejoicing. These need not be more particularly described, especially as any words to spare might better be given to the truly Bartuouthiuu site chosen for the new church. Barmouth stands on a narrow strip of land between a precipitous hill and the sea, so that the only alternative to increasing its length is building on shelves cut in the rock. This has been adopted by the Church authorities, whose place of worship will presently appear high over the town. As the service proceeded, huudreda of people stood gaziug up at the little crowd on the perch above, the sound of whose singing came dropping down with curious effect. When the ceremouy ended, the Royal party took lunch iu a building opposite the well-known Corsygedol Hotel, afterwards proceediug by train to Portmadoe, thence by the little mountain railway to Festiuiog, through scenes of extraordinary beauty and interest, and so back to Llauderfel.  Lloyds' agent at Lisbon telegraphs that the) British steamers Odessa, front Hamburg for Ibrail, and the Homer, from Taganrog for Bristol, hare been in collision. The Odessa sank, and three men were drowned. .  Jaue Noble,a young married woman, was remanded at Lambeth Police Court, London, on Tuesday, charged on her own eonfessiuu with the murder of her infant child. _ .  A liouter's telegram from New York announces that the pugilist liarain has been admitted to bail in the tilltla oi 2,000 dole., his trial taking place next month. A coroner's jury at Bradford,ou Tuesday,returned a verdict of ' Wilful murder'' against two brothers named Broderick for causing by vioietJ itiusage the death of an old clothes dealer emu?* bugdeu.
