Ro-TÀL AQUATIC EXCURstON.-lt having been an- nounced that the Queen and Prince Albert would embark on board the Royal yacht, at Southampton yesterday (Monday), and that her Majesty would proceed to the pier through the princpal streets, at an early honr the inhabitants were busily occupied in making preparations. The route by which her Majesty would pass was made known on Saturday evening. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived at the terminus by special train at about twenty minutes to eleven, where they were received by Major. General Sir Hercules Pakenham and his staff, the Directors of the railway, and by the Mayor and Corporation of Southampton. The Royal Marine Band was in attendance, and the guard of honour was formed by the Scotch Fusilier Guards, now quartered at Winchester—The railway terminus was very tastefully decorated with flags and laurel, and filled with fine exotic plants. The Duke of Wel. lington arrived nearly an hour before her Majesty, and pro. ceeded at once to the Dolphin Hotel. His Grace came in a special train, and was accompanied by the Earl of Liverpool. After the arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke left the hotel and went to the pier, in company with Lords Delawarr, Haddington, Wharncliffe, and Cantalupe, and Sir James Graham and several other official personages. An immense assemblage bad congregated outside the railway station, and when her Majesty and the Prince issued from it, they were received with a loud burst of cheers from the per- sons assembled. Throughout the whole line of route the streets were decked with flags and banners, and upon entering High-street from above bar, the sight were very splendid. All the way from the bar to the water there was flags across the street, suspended nearly from every house, and the windows were filled with ladies greeting the arrival of her Majesty and the Prince by the waving of handkerchiefs. The Royal carriage halted a few seconds at the hotel where her Majesty formerly resided when visiting Southampton as the Princess Victoria, with her mother, the Duchess of Kent. The streets were lined by the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and a perfectly clear way was kept for the procession to move in. Upon arriving at the end of the pier, her Majesty was met by the Duke of Wellington and the other Noblemen and official personages who accompanied him. Addresses of congratula- tion from the Mayor and Corporation to the Queen and Prince Albert were presented through the Secretary of State, Sir James Graham. The Royal cortege having arrived close to the yacht, her Majesty and Prince Albert alightrd from the carriage and went on board the yacht, which had been brought alongside the pier only a few minutes previously. The Royal standard was immediately hoisted, and was saluted by all the men-of-war steamers, and also by those belonging to the West India and Peninsular Mail Companies. Crowds of people lined the shore, the platform, the quays, and the pier, all anxious to witness the embarkation of the Queen and the starting of the Royal yacht. It was, however, nearly three quarters of an hour after the Queen had gone on board before the yacht left the pier, and although it was raining all the time the multitude still maintained their position. Shortly after twelve o'clock the moorings were cast off and the vessel got under weigh, and proceeded dow nthe Southampton water amidst the cheers of the thousands who had assembled to witness her Majesty's departure. The steam squadron manned their yards as site passed, and the Admiral dipped his -flag which was flying on board the Fearless. The whole of the steamers then got under weigh, and followed in the wake of the Royal yacht. A number of the Royal yacht squadron, which were lying off, also made sail. From nearly an hour before her Majesty's arrival the rain never ceased, and it continued equally unfavourable during the progress of the yacht down the Southampton water, and the atmosphere was so thick and misty that the land on either side could scarcely be discerned. In addition to the men-of-war steamers which accompanied the Royal yacht from Southampton, there were three merchant steamers, full of company. The Queen's yacht went only at half speed for some time after she left the pier, by which they were able to keep up with her, but as soon as she put a little more steam on they all dropped astern, with the exception of a new iron steamer, the South Western, which is considered the fastest boat that sails from Southampton, which contrived to keep in her wake, although at a little distance. All the others, including even the men- of-war steamers, could not keep up with the yacht, and were left more than two miles astern in little more than half an honr. After passing Calshot Castle the yacht directed her course to Cowes. The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay; the Modeste, 18; and the Grecian, 16, were lying in Cowea roads, and as toon as the Royal standard was descried at the mast-head of the yacht, they each fired a Royal salute, and manned their yards. The battery at Cowes Castle also fired, and one was fired from the Royal Yacht Squadron Club- house. There was a very numerous attendance of yachts. The Commodore of the squadron, the Earl of Yarborough, had returned with those which went with him to the west- ward. From Cowes the Royal yacht steered towards the Motherbank and Rhyde, and again went at less than half speed, in order to enable the steamers astern to come up with her, and to give the immense fleet of sailing yachts, which were now trying to keep her company, the opportunity of doing so. It was a beautiful sight, but would have been even more splendid had the weather been fine. The Com- modore's yacht, the Kestrel, kept alongside the Royal yacht for some time, but at length dropped astern. After passing Ryde the yacht proceeded towards Spithead, and passed round the St. Vincent, 120, who fired a Royal salute and manned her yards. The scene now was very imposing there are few sights more magnificent than a first-rate line-of-battle ship with her yards manned. All the sailors were dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers, and the officers in their full uniform, on board the St. Vincent, and on board the whole of the squadron. Her Majesty, after leaving Spithead, returned to Ryde, where the Royal yacht was brought to an anchor, and her Majesty and Prince Albert landed in the Admiral's barge at the Ryde Pier, and proceeded to the town.—It ap- pears that her Majesty intends to beguile the time whilst at sea by musical recreation. On Saturday evening a further addition was made to the beautiful fittings-up of the Royal steam-yacbt, Victoria and Albert. This was an elegant pianoforte, which arrived per railway, made upon an entirely new plan by Erard. The new instrument is not higher, nor does it take up more room than a cottage pianoforte, yet it is so scientifically contrived as to unite in this small compass the perfection of touch and power of tone of the grand pianofortes. ————— JUDGES RECOMMENDING CRIMINALS NOT TO PLEAD GUILTV.-Where it happens to a prisoner to answer in the affirmative-in approptiate language, to plead guilty-if he insisst on it, the general understanding seems to be that he has a right to have such his plea recorded; in which case there is a necessary end of the trial, and the verdict follows, of course. In practice, it is grown into a sort of fashion, when the pi isoner has returned this answer, for the judge to endeavonr to persuade him to withdraw it, and substitute the opposite plea-the plea of not guilty, in its place. The wicked man, repenting of his wickedness, offers what atone- ment is in his power; the judge, the chosen minister of righteousness, bids him repent of his repentance, and, in place of the truth, substitutes a barefaced lie. Such is the morality—such the holiness of an English jndge.-Ben- thamiana.

SWANSEA, Tin DAY, SEPT. 1.
SWANSEA, Tin DAY, SEPT. 1. ■ — Frnncis Echvardes Leach, Esq., of Kilybchill Place, near Neath, qualified to act as a Magistrate for ihis conniy,at an adjourned Quarter Sessions, lielil at Neath the 22d ult. The ltev. James W. Evaris, of Trinity College, Ux- ford, eldest son of the Uev. J.imes Ev<iiis, Rector of Llano dough, near Cardiff, was ordained Deacon on Snnday the 13th ult., iu ihe Cathedral Church of Norwich, by the Lord Bishop of that Diocese. We are happy to hear that Mr. W. C. Webb, of Rose Cottage, Pillgvvenlly, Newport. has been appointed Spanish Vice-Consul for Newport. A more efficient selec- tion could not have been made. BOYS SCHOOL.—The public examination of the pupils of the above school, which is conducted on the piinciples of the British and Foreign School Society, took place at the school-iooin, in Goat-street, on Tuesday lasl, in the presence of the President, L. W. Dillwyn, Esq., and the Committee, together with several other friends ot education. The hoys were examined in the usual branches of education, and they acquitted themselves in a manlier much lo the credit of their teacher, Mr. Hanimet. Publicans are liable to a penalty for givinp money to soldiers billeted upon them, in order to get accommo- dated elsewhere, 1 FIRE.—A fire broke out at fcbonl half-past fiva o'clock this morning in the back premise* of Mr. Mtrtia, baker, St. Mary-atreet, in this town, and communicated to those of Mr. Hanson, cabinet-maker. The alarm was given by the family of Mr. Martin, and efficient assistance imme- diately rendered by numerous workmen and others. The Mayor and police, with the fire-engine, were on the spot soon after the fire began, but from the disadvantageous position of the engine which played upon the building from the nal row lane leading from Cross-street to the Castle stables, it could not be worked effectively, so that the fire was extinguished principally by water thrown npon it with buckets. The interior ot Mr. Hanson's workshop, with some furniture, tools, benches, &c., &c., and Mr. Mart n's bake. house, containing a large stock of biscuit, were consumed. It is thought the fire originated in a kiln used by Mr. Martin, for the purpose of hardening seamen's biscuit. We also understand that the whole of the tools of the workmen employed by Mr. Hanson were entirely consumed, thus tendering them unable to follow their occnpaiion in any other shop. We trust some means will be devised by a sympathising public to make good this serious loss to "the unfortunate workmen. ROBBEKY. — Pumplas farm-house, neartbis town. was entered on Wednesday, and tobbed of seveial articles of clothing, &c., while the family were engaged in harvesting in an adjoining field. Two of the thieves were engaged in the house, while another acted as sentinel. The latter was brought before the Mayor on Thursday, and remanded for further evidence. The Anniversary Meeting of the Ancient Order of Foresters took place on Tuesday last, at the Maltster's Arms, Oxford-street, in this town, when about eighty of the brethren of Court Oxford, No. 1512, sat down to a most excellent dinner, provided by Brother David Wechio. The chair was taken by Capt. Bowden, who was ably supported by Brother Geo. Robinson in the vice-chair. In the course of the evening several visitors dropped in. A number of appropriate toasts were drank on the occasion with enthu- siasm, and the hilarity of the evening was kept up to a late hour, when all separated' and retired to their respective homes in perfect sobriety and good order. The "Clergy of the Deanery of Pool and Caerein- ion, in Montgomeryshire, were summoned on the 21st ult., at Pool, to express their thanks to the Earl of Powis, for his zealous and ahle efforts against the reduction of a bishop in Wales, as recommended by the Bishop of London, and the other Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The address to the noble Earl concludes thus:—"Whatever may be the effect of the change which the law is about to make in the eccle- siastical arrangement* of the Principality, we shall always feel that we owe a debt of gratitude tovour Lordship, for the zeal with which yon have laboured to make that law most conducive to its interest." BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The anniversary services of the Swansea Auxiliary of the above society were held at Swansea this week. Sermons having been preached on Sunday in the different Baptist chapels by the depnta. tion from the Parent Society, the Public Meeting took place on Monday evening, at Mount Pleasant Chapel, where W, Strond, Esq., presided. Taking into consideration the state of the weather, the attendance was remarkably good. The various resolutions were movrd aud seconded by the Rev. Messrs. Dodd, Jones, Bliss, Evans, Harris, and Davies. Messrs. Williams and James, deputation f. 0111 the Parent Society addressed the meeting at considerable length, givini; interesting details of the progress of Missions in toreiga countries, especially in India, where Mr. Williams had spent eleven years of his life. PROLIFIC VINE.—In Mr. White's nursery gardens, near this town, is now in fine bearing, a Black Hamburgh Vine, having on it upwards of five hundred and fifty very fine bunches, and has home the last three years upwards of eighteen hundred bunches; and as the gardens are open to the pnblic, we would advise our friends to avail themselves of the first opportunity of seeing it IIDW in fine perfection. The dahlias being also now in fine bloom, among which we noticed some very fine new varieties, and the short distance from the town, make it a very agreeable walk to those who have a spare half-hour. FREE PARDON.—Jn consequence of certain represen- tations made to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department, we are enabled to state that William M'Mahon, snperiutendant of police of the town of Hay, found guilty of perjury, and sentenced to seven years transportation, at the last Breconshire Assiaes, was liber- ated from gaol yesterday, by a free pardon under the sign- manual of our gracioas Queen, bearing date the 21st August instant —Silurian. Sr. NICHOLAS FAIR.—We are happy to report an advance of about 15 per cent. in the price of store cattle in this fair last week, and a very brisk demand but this was. by no means the case with sheep, in which stock there was no improvement. MERTHYR.—The advance in the Iron trade appears to cheer the men. The prospect of a good harvest, also, is an additional reason for encouragement, and of thanksgiviug to a beneficent Being. THE TOLL-HAlt GRIEVANCE. — A Mefitinjy was held at the Townhall, Aberystwith, on Saturday, for the purpose of hearing and discussing the existing toll-bar grievance. The Trustees of one of the turnpike trusts were present. There were about two hundred farmers and others in the hall, together with several gentlemen of influence and property in the county. Colonel Powell, M.P., the Lord. Lieutenant of the connty, was elected Chairman. A great number of farmers complained of their numerous grievances, Mr. J. Hughes, solicitor, acting as interpreter. Farmers, carriers, and oihers, complained hittertyof having to pay tolls in going and returning, and in some instances, several times a day. The circumstance of toll being charged on manure, even in conveying it from one part of a farm to the other, was considered a great hardship. A great number of statements having been made, M*. J. D. Morris, to meet the exigencies of the times, moved that immediate relief be afforded where practicable.—Mr. Bnllen, the lessee of the tolls, said, that he would throw no difficulty in the way of remedying existing grievances.-Capt. Jones snirirested that the trustees should retire to consider the ques inn, which they accoitiiu«ly did, and after an hour's private deliberation. • 'e i.1C ,were a(bniUed, and a series of resolutions read, in which the tolls were reduced from 25 to 50 per cent., and several exemptions agreed to.-Mr. Bnllen was desired to make his claim for compensation on Wednesday. SWAN SKA INFIRMARY.—A meeting of the subscribers to the above excellent institution was held at the Townhall on Friday last, for the purp ose of electing a Visiting Surgeon in the room of Mr. Rowland, who has resigned, in conse. quence of ill-health. We briefly announced the result of the election in our last, but were unable to give the II II III ber, of votes polled for each candidate. It having been 1110 "edf and seconded that the mayor, Dr. Bird, should presidft he took the chair, and read the advertisement convening the meeting, and the letter from Mr. Rowland, announcing his resignation.—Mr. W. R. Grove then said that, proceeding to the immediate business for the transaction o' which the meeting had been convened, he felt great pleilsnrt in propo.-ing—That the thanks of this meeting he given Wm. Rowland, Esq., for the ahle manner in which he ha* discharged the duties of the office of Surgeon to this insti tution for upwards ofeteven yea's and that Win. Rowland Esq., l»p elected Honorary and Consulting Surgeon to th'1' institution. He could hear testimony to the unremitting at! tention with which Mr. Rowland had performed the duties 0 the office.—Mr. Moggridse knowing the services rendered hv Mr. Rowland 10 the institution dming so IDHIIV veaf felt happy in seconding the le-ohnion. It was a compl' metit to Mr. Rowland respecting wnieli there could be h1' one opinion. All would agree that it was his dn«*.—Tl' resolution was then put to the roeetin- and unanimous' carried.—The Chairman said, that the next business was (I appoint a Visiting Surgeon, in the room of Mr. limvhn'f If any gentleman had a candidate to propose let him coif'j forward. — Mr. Stroud, hanker, had great pleasure in prrt po-ing Mr. W. Harris Long, as a successor to Mr. Rowland He was well known to the inhabitants of Svvansfa, havi^ served his time in the town. He had also very hi<i tes'| monials to his professional skill. Mr. Stioud here read i very flatleting testimonial from the late Sir Astlev Coop?! It was quite unnecessary for him (Mr. S.) to add auulii1! to that testimoni'i); he would, theiefore, content him^j by proposing Mr. Long.—The Rev. Samuel Da-ie* seconds the nomination.—The Rev. Dr. Hewson said that, in vi^l1 ing to a request made him to propose one candidate, it not his intention 10 inqjinte any comparisons between cei tlemen—they were all known to he respectable men, i"! the two between whom the contest would probablv lav their reputations well established in the nuUic 1111,1 The gentleman he rose to propose had been Resident S11 geon to the institution for many years, and the duties that office lie dischai ged with much diligence, kind-heart^ ness, and skill, and, in pioposing him, he (Dr. MewsO1 thought it wag doing not only an act of justice 10 him, b, also that it would prove beneficial to the institution. proposed Mr. Ltev\eljn Parry Monimer, on lite broad pf1? ciple, that he rendered a service to th^ puiilif. — Mr. Hif seconded Dr. Hevvson's proposition with srreat pleasni' M r. Sanders wished 10 ask the Ch¡Ür"\¡1I1 a qtlhliun I" C\ I' to voting. If a subsciiber residing at a distance had trussed bisp'oxy to a noil-subscriber, would Ilie vote teceived?—The Ch lirnian requested the secietai v to if' to the roles of the institution. — Mr. John Grove wit' opinion that could not he done. As the meeting w>! meeting of subscribers he presumed none but subscri^ conld at tend or take any part in the pioceedings.—• Secretary observed, that there was no definite rule Hi' the subject, but that it had been the in»a: i tble custoO1, entrust proxies 10 subscribers only.— Mr. W. Strond S1* that as there was no rule upon the subject, it v%as in power of the meeting to decide the question. His e,r rience taught him, tha', for the benefit of an illslitul' supported by voluntaiy contributions, the best course w*]1, be to aive great latitude to subscriners. The meat ohJ would be to carry a subsciibers object into effect.— A' some observations from Messrs. Sandeis, O. G. Willi'1', M. Moggrid;:e, and several oilier gentlemen, it was dec'1. that subscribers only should tcndei proxies.—A iong di^>, sion, but which was of no gle,lt inteie«t, took pWce off the subject of voting by proxy. Some gentlemen thinM that when a subsciiber bad not nnued the can lidat^ whom he intended voting, it was not in the power ot proxy to do so.—The Chairman decided, that when a I scriber bad named the candidate, or vvi'uten his 11 line i". blank form prepared for the purpose, the proxy must icf; that vote; but if the su isciioer bad 1101 tilled up the bl, with any candidate's name, then it would be in the p" of the proxy to name the candidate. That had been invariable custom, and ulieie they had 110 lex script* was their duty to be guided by he lex iion setiptn.—A a lengthened conversation, the Chairman aud Stcietary proceeding to take down the votes, when the former that he had been requested by a 111' inner ol bit prole"' who had offered himself as a candidate, to slate that i' not his intentioll to come loiward 011 ihat wca..iol1-ht! ject having been, not so much to offer him-elf then, announce his intention of doing so at a future lime. alluded to Mr. Rogers.—At the close of the voting, appeared- For Mr. Long H4 Fur RJr. Mortimer CG Majority -18
