LIVERPOOL, Tamar.
The inhabitants of Liverpool, ever conapietions
ter their loyalty and attachment to the Queen sad her
family, isolated their best busting today, while the bells
Iliad the air with meek. The royal standard waved from
the Town-hall and the other pehlie boildisgs, and the ships
in the dock and harbour were "dressed" in honour of the
occasion, the American vessels sot being a whit behind the
British in their gay demonstrations. Some of the principal
shopkeepers bad bestowed great care and taste upon their
anmapsments of tap, and a trophy in frost of the Campton-
boom (Jeffrey and Co.) smiled mai atteatiew sad Fein.
Royal salutes were fired from her Majesty's skip Majestic,
sad from the forte at the month of the limey.

In Runup* of the day the Bev. Jibe Owen sad A.
Mougredien, En., played a drawn game, this being owe et
the series of the grand tournament, in 'ditch fifteen player
take part. Herr &nein played wane Hr. Barra, ad,
after a most interlining game, proved successful.llais wee
the fourth same which Herr- Manila has played is the
teursammit, in three of whieh—semly, against Hr.
bens, Hr. Macciounell, and Herr Andeneem—lte bed hen
beaten. His noosuceen had produced an anfaveeralale
opinion of Herr Btetnites skill among these who bed not
watched his play atiestively, but the mane/ hi which be
eseteuded with Mr. Barnes has not only re-establielied his re-
panties, but raised it still higher than bean. It required
the seines n a manse be in es he did in this inateace, few
he give up pies after ;nos without naitation 63 order
that in the end he might combine those which remained in
an overwhelming and mistime force; and although Hr.
Berns had fought his opponent with his usual ingenuity he
was obliged to enecumb to him, even when he outuarobered
his adversary by two teen The drawn game between the
We. J. Owen end A. nankin, Faq., lasted through the
bet pen of the fila p. Mr. Owes is the may Beglin player
is the present, tournament who ha been fortunate enough
to triumph nee the redoubtable Andaman and Hr. Moe-
indite is thepresideut of the Lena" Chess Club. An excel.
lent contest was sustained between them. Hr. Mougredien
adopted the opening known as the Fianchetto, a style of play
much Is vogue et present, and mid to be favoured also
by Mr. Owen. The commencement of the play peeved the
perfection to which the,e gentlemen had attained in this
style of opening, and throughout the game they exhibited
great skill and nbety of Eaten, an much so, tedeid, that
after a most levee, battle the game bad, as we have seen,
to be drawn. Nothing weary, they commenced again in
the latter part of the day, and were deep in conflict when
this report left. Between Hr. Demme and Mr. Boby there
was also a clever game in the pan tournament of yester-
day, in the course of which Mr. Roby declined to went
the king's gambit pawn, by playing instead his king's
bishop to queen's bishop fourth. Mr. Deacon is well known
to have devoted particular attention to this mode of attack,
and chess chronicles during the last twenty years speak
decisively of his many succeeese in it. His skill in this par-
ticular does not appear to have diminished by time, for
although a gambit he would have an attack,
and carried it on for some time in victorious style, be
he at length failed to achieve what he had
almost earned. Mr. Roby, seeing his opponent's spirit
lessee, made some brilliant but dangerous moves,
end mime off the conqueror. Mr. Roby ts an Amerada.
The most prominent pert of yesterday's proceedings how-
ever was the consultation game played between Herr Aoder.
men and Herr Paulsen on one part, and Herr Lowenthal and
Captain Kennedy upon the other, which, after a fair strug-
gle, was won by the two former. The match was commenced
at two o'cloek, and lasted until haven seven, dining
the whole el which time the play was fully aqua to the
great expectation raised by the known skill of the com-
batants, and created considerable interest In thole who ob-
served in program Herr Liwenthal and his friend bad the
first move, and proceeded vigorously menet Paulen and
Andersen, who fought with great motion. trp to about
the 20th move the esinetage seemed to be with Lswentital
and Keenly bat they lost their position by aoversight,
which spoiled an admirably combined battle, and afforded
to their advenerien an opportunity which they kid no time
in improving, led which sweetened in chiming ter nom a
complete victory. The history of the moves in this match is
very noteworthy, and will no doubt, when it is given to the
public, obtain a place among the most remerkable of the
51111•0111.
