The RECORDER having finished reading the address, the
Mayor presented it to the Royal visitor.
His ROTA.L HIGHNESS, in reply, said :—lt isiwith feelings
of the deepest satisfaction that at yout invitation I visit this
great and important and loyal borough. The honour is still
more gratifying to me from the circumstance that you have
associated my name with that of the gallant army which has,
by its deeds of bravery and daring, rendered itself worthy
of all the hononr we can bestow on it. If in my con-
nection with that army I have been so fortunate as
to obtain your approbation, I am on that account
also mnch gratified—that is an honour of which a soldier may
be justly proud. (Cheers.) It affords me very great satisfadion
to have visited this great and important mercantile borough ;
and once more I must express my gratitude for the very flatter-
ing mark of your consideration which you have just bestowed
on me.
The address was inclosed in a handsome cylindrical box,
made of ebony, elegantly mounted with silver. It was em-
bellished with engraved representations of the Landing-stage,
the Custom-house, the Town-hall, and St. George's ; and
and on it was also engraved the following inscription :
"This box, containing the Address to his Royal Highness
GEORGE, DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, K.C., K.P., and G.C.B. ghes
, was
presented by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough
of Liverpool. in the County Palatine of Lancaster. October IX.,
M.DCCC. LV."

This very elegant box was made by the Mr. Mayer, Lord;
street; by whom also was prepared the illuminated copy of
the address which was enclosed in the box, and presented to
his Royal Highness.
After the ceremony of the presentation had been completed,
his Royal Highness was conducted by, the Mayor to the bal-
cony overlooking the Exchange ; on his appearance here, the
Duke was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers.
He was then conducted by the Mayor, and attended by the
Members of the Council "upon 'Change," where he met with
a cordial reception, at the conclusion of which he returned to
the Town Hall. Having remained for a few minutes here,
the Royal Duke, attended by the Mayor and a number of
others, entered the carriages prepared for the occasion, and
proceeded to visit the various places prescribed in the pro-
gramme, which will be found in our advertising columns.

LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING.

STOCS MECJIAIME.—The funds again, closed at a further
fall; a rumour that the Bank of France have concluded a
further contract for gold from this side have led to nume-
rous speculative sales. It was likewise asserted, although
only from surmise, that the Bank of England have continued
to place stock upon the market. After regular hours trans-
actions were entered into at 861, to 868.—The Paris prices did
not arrive yesterday. Money was easy on Monday in the
Stock Exchange. There was no alteration in the discount
market. The Speedy from Sydney brings gold value £lB,OOO.

The Times, in a leader on the Protectionist dinner at
Castle Hedingham last 'Saturday, says :—A. rumour is rife
that a certain section of the Conservatives, who to a greater
or smaller extent acknowledge the political leadership of Mr.
Disraeli, are, it is said, about to coalesce with those members
of the late Sir Robert Peel's party who have hitherto acted
with Mr. Gladstone, Sir Jamee Graham, and the other chief
political associates of the great minister. The Times gives
the rumour as it received it.
