RoYAL TRIPS—No ridicule of extraneous circum- stances can make Qaeen Victoria's sea-voyaging other than a sensible amusement. It brings her acqnninted with the several parts of her dominions; it well snits the getting, pleases the feelings, of a maratime peopte and it bears the young princes out into the midst of healthful breezes. Such amusement* are in favourable contrast with many that have been nsed to beguile royal ennui. Louis the Fourteenth played with vice and the fate of kindoms; our Charles the Second left the kingdoms alone that he might bestow the more time on the other toy. Louis the Fifteenth had his harem; Louis the Eighteenth lived in a round of eating. Anue of England played at equality with her attendants, and qua relied with them for taking liberties. Elizabeth played the foot with Essex, and killed him for playing the fool with her. George the Fonrth played at making gilt paper boxes, at tailoring, at being a petit mail re. Qoeell Isabella of Spain Sltll at butcherly bull-fights, or lives secluded in her palace. Royal amusements are nsnallv below the average in taste and sense. Qneen Victoria playg for stakes with the sea, winning health and honest pleasure.— Spectator. THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—The "monster statue" being allengl h entirely completed, was submitted by Mr. Wyatt, the sculptor, to private inspection on Satuiday last. All the different portions of the work, for it has been cast in many pieces, have been fused together, so that the equestrian statue may be now said to consist of a single mass of metal. Its dimensions are so vast, being not less than 27 feet in height, that the difficulty of passing an opinion on the peculiar merits or general effect of the composition may be easily conceived, when inspected within the contracted limits of the at list's atelier. Indeed, until the statue is placed on the arch assigned for its reception, no satisfactory view can be obtained of it. The composition has been so frequently described that it is hardly necessary to repeat that the horse stands in a quiescent attitude, and that the Duke is represented holding a telescope extended in his right hand, aud habited in the costume he wore at the battle of Waterloo, the whole of which, down to the stirrups and spurs, having been c pied with scrupulous fidelity. The metal has been lately brightened, and now boasts of a more attractive colour than it will after some exposure to the weather. The weight of the statue is calculated at 40 tons. The carriage which is to convey this enormous mass ot metal to Hyde-park-corner, and which has been con- structed at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, is a framework of three massive pieces of timber, strongly knit together, and supported on two pair of the driving wheels of the Great Western Railway, 12 feet in diameter, 12 inches broad, and weighing from 9 to 10 tons. As the statue and carnage together will weigh upwards of 50 tons,trom 30 to40 horses will probably be required to draw it. It is supposed that the statue will be removed to its place of destination within a fortnight, n HI EF OF THE Pooit IN IRBLAND.—It has been suireested hy Mr. J. O'Coonnell that it may be found necessary to call Parliament together for the purpose of introducing a measuie to render it compulsory on the Courts of Sessions to make presentments for the relief of the poor. The Labour Rate Act leaves it to the discre- tion of the Justices usembled at Sessions, to take the preli minary step to raising funds for the employment of the labouring classes. In England Justices sign rates for the reti. t of the poor ministerially, whilst in Ireland they are invested with power to determine the question, whether the mass of the poor have reached the point Of destitu- tion which demands support from the land. INCREASE OF SUICIDES.—During the first six months o this year the saiciJes, according to the return for the western districts of Middlesex, have more than doubled the suicides in those districts during the corresponding period of last year. OI'IVIVG OF A NEW TRAFFIC WITH IRELAND — Importatalion of Sheep. The Fair Trader steamer arrived at D-.gheda on Thursday with a cargo of no less th'in 1,600 shfej., direct from the island of Mull, Scotland. This flock, which we understand is a very fine one, consists of about one half breeding ewes, the remainder wethers for feeding. Such an importation as this constitutes quite a new feature in the live stock trade, and is deserving of consideration by land'd proprietors and stock masteis here. The cargo helr.iH's to Messig. Adams and Banks, of Liverpool, who IIHV" tlie merit of being the present movers in this new, and we trust we may pronounce, promising traffic bet ween the Scottish isles and this country.— Dublin's Freeman Journal.

SWANSEA, FRIDAY, SKPT. 18. BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—It affords ns sincere gra'ifi- cation to be enabled to state, that South Wales is to be honoured with a meeting of this learned body much sooner than could have been expected. Memorials from the Cor. poration, neighbouring Gentlemen, Royal Institution, &c., most respectajbly and numerously signed, were forwarded to Southampton, for presentation by vI. R. Srove, Esq., F.R.S., urging the claims of South Wales, and of Swansea in particular, and we learn that" tetters by the last post have been received from that gentleman, which state, that "Yesterday was the day for fixing jhe place of meeting of the Biitish Association; it is to go to Oxford next year; but I am happy to say, that we may confidently expect it to visit Swansea in 1848. The claims of Swansea have made a great impression; Norwiah did not appear, and Belfast and Edinburgh who did, admitted the priOI claim of Swan- sea, the association having met at the latter town before, so we may consider Swansea as •tandiiisr first on the list for the consideration of the Council. Sir H. De la Beche seconded the resolution in favour of Swansea." We are confident, the inhabitants of Swansea, especially those who are in any way interested in literary and scientific pursuits will feel highly obliged to Mr. Grove for his energetic and successful advocacy of the claims of Swansea. We ought lio,loo,nit stating, that in the absence of Professor Far.id^v the Chairman of the chemical section, Nir. Glove occupied the chair, and in the capacity of Chairman received H. R. H. Prince Albert, who attended the meetings of the section. A paper read hy Mr. Grove, which excited much attention, will he found in another portion of onr paper.

— Mr. and Mrs. Edwards Vanghan may be expected to arrive at home by the 1st of October, from their shooting quarters in Inverness-shire. Mr. Vrtitghan has had good spoit, h-iving killed upwards of 1200 head of game. Ax THUx's STONE.— Several gentlemen connected with the Literary and Scientific Society of this town fonned a pic nic party on Monday last, and visited Arthur's Stone, Gower, when an inteiesting historical paper on that ancient relic ot antiquity was read by Mr. G. G. Francis, F S.A. CAKNAKVON—On Wednesday, theyih inst., Mr W. Richards, late of Puntypoo) Academy, was ordained as Minister (Her the Baptist Congregation in this town. The different services were well attended, the sei mons excellent, and the meeting one of the most interesting. j VISIT OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT TO SWANSEA.— About half-past ten o'clock on the night of Monday last, the curiosity of the inhabitants of Swansea was considerably ex- cited at hearing the bells of St. Mary's Church set up a merry peal. All who had not retired to rest were on the qui rive. We, amongst the rest, were desirous of ascertaining the cause of rejoicing at that unusual hour for bell-ringing. On in- quiring, we learnt that his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Lord of the Borough and Manor of Swansea, and of the Seigniory of Gower, together with his son and daughter-in-law, the Marquis and Marchioness of Worcester, had arrived in our bay, in company with Captain Claxton, R.N., in the yacht Intrepid. At noon, on Tuesday, the noble party landed, accompanied by the Duke's London and focal agents. The time of landing did not appear to be known amongst the in- habitants, as there were very few persons on the pier at the time. The Marquis of Worcester had pieviously visited the town for the purpose of ordering carriages, &c., having landed at the Mumbles, whence he caone to Swansea. The party at once proceeded to the house of the Misses NicholIs, Cambrian- place, the lodgings of his Grace's chief agent, Mr. Hooper. In the mean time, the Mayor, having been informed of the arrival of his Grace, caused a special meeting of the Town Council, Magistrates, and other gentlemen, to be convened. for the purpose of taking into consideration the course to be pursued on the occasion. Amongst others who attended on this short notice, were the Mayor, J. D. Berrington, John Grove, R. Aubrey, O. G. Williams, T. B. Essery, T. EdlV. Thomas, and J. Richardson, Esqr14, Dr. Bird, Capt. E. Morgan, &e., &c. After various suggestions had been made, it was eventually agreed that a Committee should wait on his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, to congratulate his Grace and the Marquis of Worcester on their arrival in Swansea, and to request, on behalf of the Corporation and his Grace's friends in the town and neighbourhood of Swansea, the favour of his Grace's Company with that ot the Marquis, to a public dinner on any day his Grace might appoint." The Committee were likewise requested to make the necessary arrangements in case the invitation were accepted. The Town Clerk was then requested to wait upon the Duke, for the purpose or ascertain- ing what time it would be convenient for his Grace to meet the deputation. An answer was returned, that his Grace was on the point of leaving the town for the day, but would be happy to meet the deputation at twelve o'clock next day. Following the narrative of the Noble Duke's visit, we will proceed to state that, having lunched, the party took their carriage and visited the Worcester Colliery, situated between Swansea and Loughor after inspecting the workings, they proceeded to pay a visit to the well known Landore engine, which has been ontof work for some time past, and which has caused the lower workings of several collieries to he drowned out; and we are informed that his Grace has expressed his in- tention of taking into his consideration the expediency of re- storing this celebrated specimen of Bolton and Watt ingenuity. The party then returned to Swansea, and proceeded to inspect Ovstermouth Castle, the ruins of an ancient Norman structure which has for ages formed a portion of the patrimony of this Ducal HotMe. Here the noble party were received by Mr. J. G. Jeffreys, one of his Grace's local agents, and Mr. G. G. Franiis, F.S.A., the tatter gentleman having (as is generally known in this neighbourhood), made extensive restorations in this interesting relic. of antiquity, in the year 1845, at the ex- pense of his Grdce, was specially invited to be present. After Mr. Francis had explained the arrangements and uses of the several divisions of this beautiful tuin, and pointed out the various repairs made, the party returned to their carriage, having first expressed their gratification at what they had witnessed, and the explanations given, for which they tendered their warmest thanks to Mr. Francis. We hope the visit will be the means of completing the reparations which it is ad. mittell on all hands, have been so skilfully commenced on this 41 lion" of the neighbourhood, which is visited by all strangers and tourists, many of whom come long distances for the pur- pose of inspecting it. The party then proceeded viti Oyster. month to their boat, which conveyed them on board the yacht where they dined and passed the night. Next morning, his Grace and party reached Swansea in Mr. Vivian's carriage which had been despatched for them to the Mumbles. They proceeded to Mr. Hooper's lodgings, where a deputation from the Swansea Vale Railway Company had an interview with his Grace. At twelve o'clock, agreeably to appointment the deputation, consisting of the Mayor, C. H. Smith, Esq.: several of the Aldermen and Councillors, the Magistrates and Gentry, waited upon his Grace, with an invitation to a public dinner, which was declined, as his Grace had an en<ra»ement with the Corporation of Bristol next day, which could not possibly be put off. A special meeting of the Dock Directors having been convened, that body, accompanied by their Secretary, also had an interview with his Grace, and having laid before the Nohle Duke, the scheme for the intended floating docks, we understand that his Grace expressed his decided opinion that Swansea could not progress Satisfactorily without floating accommodation for the increasing foieign trade. He also coincided generally in the views held by the ny Directors, and stated his anxiety to render the project every assistance in his power, as soon as an eminent engineer had examined the locality and given his report. An arrangement was made for the deputation to meet his Grace at a future period, when they could go further into detail. Before the deputation retired, the Duke again thanked Mr. Francis for his courteous attention to himself and party during their visit. The party proceeded in a boat to the yacht, about two, P.M., and were tugged up to Bristol. Throughout his brief visit, his Grace and family we: e received by the inhabitants of Swansea and'its neighbourhood with every mark of respect. TowN CoV%'CrL PftOCPFDINGq.-The tistial Monthly Meeting of the Swansea Town Conneil was held at the Council Chamber of the Guildhall, on Friday last, when the following Members were present :—M Richard Aubrey, in the chair; Mr. John G ove, Mr. Roger talker, Mr O G. Williams. Mr. G. G. Bird, M.D., Mr. John William., Mr. T. B. Esseiy, and Mr. Sampson Dawe.—The first hnsi- Dell was to fix upon the value of the Corporation land required b" the SoutTi Wales Railway..—After a conversa- tion, it was proposed by Mr T. B. Essery, seconded by Mr. John Williams, and resolved,— "That Mr. Thomss Gltver be employed, in conjunction with Mr. Hall,to value the land required by the South Wales Railway." It was proposed hy Mr. Walker. lIecuntled, and resolved That Mr. Vaughan Williams's opinion be taken as to tlie construction of the 52d Section of the Municipal Act, in reference to the absence of Councillors forfeiting their seats, a.,d whether such absence is confined to absence from the borough, or whether it implies absence from the meetings of the Council. Resolved,— That Mr, Thos. Dryden be appointed Printer for the ensuing year." & A notice was given by Mr. T. B. Essery, that hp. will, at the next meeting, move tor the construction of certain works for the protection of the esplanade, and to make arrange- ments for keeping the Burrows sqnare in good condition Dr. Bird gave notice, that, at the next meeting, he shall bring under the notice of the Conneil the state of the tram- road forming a boundary of a part of the Corporation pro- perty, and extending from the Burrows Lodge to the Infir- > mary, with a view to examining into the same, and taking any steps necessary. SWANSEA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—Small Debts Act.-It having at the last meeting of the Chamber been unanimously resolved, to piesem a Memorial to the Govern- ment, praying that the provisions of the Small Debts Act might be brought into immediate operation in this district Ihe following Memorial has since been prepared, and trans- mitted to W. Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P. (in the absence of our respected Member), for presentation to the Home Secretaiy: — To the Right Honourable Sir Grev, Baronet, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for'the Home Department. The Memorial of the Chamber of Commerce of the town of Swansea, ,M the countif of Glamorgan. Sheweth,- Tlwt your Memorialists are principally merchants, manufacturers, coal proprietors, shipowners, and tradesmen, fe- sidiiig in the town of Swansea, which contains a poplllarion of about 23;000, and that in its immediate vicinity there are extensive copper, iron, and tin-works, and othet manufactories, as well as a considerable and increasing number of collieries, the respective localities or which are very densely populated. That Swansea also possesses a large foreign and coasting trade upwards ot 5000 vessels entering the harbour IInnoall" and the Customs revenue of the port beiug about 70.0001. per annum. • i u' the ollly LocKI Courts that at present exist in the town or neiglibourlioud of Swansea, for the recovery or adjustment of Small Debts and Demunds, are the County and Borough Courts, and the Baron Courts of Certain (Vlanors, the proceedings of all or which are most vexatiously dilatorv, inefficient. and expensive. That 14tur Memoralists have long considered the absence of a more expediiious, etticieiit, and inexpensive mode of enforcing ihe payment of Small Debts, and the adjudication of tiifling disputes to be a great greviauce, which has been productive of a vast amount of injustice and loss to creditors, and of great hardship and oppression to debtors, more especially to the poorer classes of society. That your Memoralists are therefore of opinion, that the Act which has recently Kceived the assent of the Legislature, for the more easy recovery of Small Debts and Demands in England, is calculated to be of immense advantage to the coniuinnity at large, and that such a measure ban long been required ill Swansea, and has latterly, from the extent of its trade and population, become indi sllensabh necessary. Your Meinorali.sts, therefore, moat earaestlv pray that her Majesty's Government will be pleased to take into their serious consideration the expediency of at once adopting such steps as may be necessary for the purpose of rendering the provisions of the Small Debts Act practically operative in the town and neigh- bourhood of Swansea, at the earliest possible period. A GOOD EXAMPLE.—Mrs. Michel, or Whatcombe- hofsp, Dorset, has, in consequense of I he failnre of the potato crop, declared her intention of not receding any rent this year for lie land let out as allotment gardens. Thf> number of fa- "e mili II Ihlls benfited amount toneaily four hundred, occupy- el ing ketween sixty and seventy acres of laud. DEATH OF MIL JUSTICE WILLIAMS.—It is our painful dutyito record the decease ot Sir John Williams, Knight, y one at' the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, after an' illness of a few hours' duration. His lordship having relin ked from the Circuit to his country residence, L:onmor" Park] Bury, had made a> raiigemeiits for the entertainment of hisVriends. On Monday a shooting |>a'»y bad assembled at the mansion, but as his iordship fell indisposed he did not join in the sport. fit the course of the morning the symptoms increased, and a messenger was sent for Dr. Piobeit, who quickly attended, and prescribed fror his patient. In ihe evening the symptoms increased in violence, anti themedicat attendant was again summoned, but almost betore his arrival his lordship expired. The event wrts announced in Sergeant's Inn on Wednesday, and instructions weie given to suspend proceedings in all casps which had been referred to his 10 dship for adjudication at Chanibeis. Sir John, who was formerly a member of the Northern Circuit, was always peculiarly hippy in addiessing a jury in that class of cases known as "horse causes." He was the junior counsel employed on behalf of Queen Caroline in the House of Lords, and was piomoted to a seat on the Bench, bv the Whig administration, about twelv e years sinee. He presided at the trial of the Doichester labourers, whose catie has been the subject of much political comment. TWELVEMONTH LAMP.—Take a stick of phosphorus anti pit it into a large dry phi.il, not cot ked, and it will afford sufficient light to discern any object placed iieai it. The phial soon) < he kept in a cold place, where there is no great current of air, and it will continue its l iminnus appearance for moie than a twelvemonth.
