The Prince And Princess Of Wales At Swansea.
THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT SWANSEA .
THE long announced visit to Swansea of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales , for the purpose of opening the New Docks at thafc flourishing port , came off on Tuesday , the 18 fch instant . Thero was a grand influx of visitors , both from the immediate neighbourhood and from remoter districts . The town itself
was en fete , and everything was dono to render the occasion a brilliant success . The Prince and Princess arrived on Monday evening , as tho guests of Mr . Hussey "Vivian , M . P ., and the day following , with everything in its favour , the interesting ceremony was held . Among thoso who
received the Boyal Party were the Dake of Beaufort , K . G ., Lord Kensington , M . P ., and other magnates of the neighbourhood and its vicinity . The streets , which were elaborately decorated , presented a very animated appearance , but what will most interest our readers is to know that
as usual , the Freemasons of the district played a very important part in the proceedings of the day . They assembled in considerable strength , and the greeting thev
gave to their Grand Master and his Consort was of the heartiest . The following , as specially describing the Masonic events of the gathering , will no doubt prove attractive reading : —
On ainving afc the stand , the procession stopped , and Sir George Elliot , M . P ., and Bro . M . Tennant presented the following address to the Prince of Wales : — To the Most Worshipfnl the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Antient , Free , and Accepted Masons of England , His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , K . G ., & c , & c , & o .
We , the members of the Provincial Grand Lodge of South Wales ( Eastern Divison ) , on behalf of ourselves and of the members of the fifteen Lodges of the Province , beg to offer you a fraternal welcome on the auspicious occasion of your Royal Highness ' s first visit to South Wales .
We submit thafc the welcome we accord is conspicuously different from any which has been , or which at any future time may be tendered from any part or division of the United Kingdom , inasmuch as we emphatically welcome your Royal Highness to your own distinctive home . This prond distinction Wales may justly claim ; and through
the long centuries from Edward of Carnarvon ' s time to our own , not only has Wales been so regarded , bnt it has been pre-eminently distinguished by the fidelity and loyalty of its people , the unchanging peacefulness of its annals , and its unalterable attachment to the Crown . Time has only tended to consummate and strengthen the
link which binds the Welsh as a nation to the Throne of Britain . Yet , in our own case we have another tie uniting ns still more closely . Commerce may join , motives of policy may attach , love of Queen and country may indissolubly weld together the dissevered
sections of our land ; but in the person of your Royal Highness , son of the noblest and purest ruler who ever swayed the destinies of England , we have the privilege of recognising and identifying a brother .
For this we are fraternally grateful . Freemasonry—in the abstract a code of the loftiest morals and of the truest philosophy , and in practice the exponent of the broadest charity , regardless of
clime or creed—not only hails your Royal Highness , but also claims onr gracious Queen and a long line of Sovereigns of England , together with your two Royal brothers , as the most beneficent of its patrons .
The interest taken in Freemasonry by your Royal Highness has shed fresh lustre upon this ancient and honourable institution , and we are happy and thankful to add that it has given an impetus to those charitable institutions which are so thoroughly the objects of our Order . We earnestly trust that every son of your Royal line will
emulate the devotion to Masonry so signally displayed by their worth y father . Long may that interest in Freemasonry be felt ; unwavering may
it be shown , so that in the annals of our Order no prouder boast can be associated with its successes than that in yonr Royal Highness , as our Grand Master , it had its most genial , zealous , and illustrious patron .
We are fully mindful of the honour conferred upon the Principality by the presence on this occasion of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales , and we shonld not do justice to those earnest feelings of respect and admiration which are implanted in our hearts for the Princess if we neglect this opportunity for giving tbe heartiest and
most loyal expression of attachment and devotion to her , and prayers for her welfare and happiness . Regarding your Royal Highness as the Grand Master of the Craft , we would desire most earnestly to express our hope that this , the first visit to South Wales , may inaugurate a series of other visits , and
that this fleeting occasion upon which we are permitted to present this onr hearty , loyal , and fraternal address , may be not only the forerunner of many others , but of a long-anticipated time , when in our own Lodges , and in a manner more befitting , wo may express
our loyalty and unbending attachment , and offer as brethren the ''" I'mial indication of our common brotherhood . Until such time sve vervain nna . vevvin <» in onr loyalty and devotion to onr Grand Master , and we also pray that every blessing of health a , nl happiness may rest npon your Royal Highness , whose present

Each leaf was handsomely bordered , and afc the corner of each page were representations of the seals of the 15 Lodges in the province , and at the corner of the 16 th page was tho Prince of Wales' plume . His Royal Highness , having shaken hands with Sir G . Elliot , M . P .,
and expressed his admiration of the Masonic Arch , handed to Sir Georgo the following reply to tho address : —I thank you , with tho warmest feelings of fraternal friendship , for your expressions of loyal brotherhood towards me as yonr Grand Master . It is especially gratifying to me to be so welcomed by a body of Welshmen belonging to an Order with which I am so intimately connected , and in whoso
prosperity I take so deep an interest . I can assure you I am very sensible of tbo distinction I enjoy of being enabled to bear the name of a country which , like your Principality , can boast of associations and ancient traditions of so varied and interesting a character , and which has always been so conspicuous for the loyalty of
its inhabitants . I will not fail to give to the Princess of Wales tho kind words in which you have alluded to her . We have both experienced great pleasure in the openings which have been afforded to ns of becoming acquainted with the inhabitants of this part of Wales , and we trust thafc further opportunities will be given to us to renew our visit .
The Masonic pavilion presented a splendid sight , being filled with ladies and gentlemen the following Freemasons wore j their regalia of office : —Bros . Sir . G . Elliot , M . P ., P . G .
