PRINCE ALFRED IN LIVERPOOL.

LIFKRPOOL. FRIDAT.
To-day Liverpool put on a regular holiday aspect,
nearly all the principal stress were draped in gay bunting,
while the shire in the different docks, and at anchor in the
river, were profuse in their show of ooloius. From an early
hour the belle from the church steeples chimed their merry
peals, and everything indicated that a right good royal wel-
come awaited the eon of Queen Victeria.

Cowell, at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, and reached

principal members of the corporation, all of whom under-
went a formal introduction to the Prince.

The Satellite steamed slowly up the river towards the
training ship Conway, the boys on bead manning the yards
and cheering lustily as his Royal Highness went on board.

Prince Alfred, who appeared toappreciate the men ner bywhich

tender steamed across to the reformatory hulk Akbir. On
nearing the vessel, the lads, dressed in white trowilne and
blouses, manned the ruck and greeted the royal visitor
with hearty hurrahs. This Tang was also impeded; and
her management was highly approved of. After leaving the

already had her own share of notoriety in connexion with her
Dundrum exploit, is now, without exception, one of the
finest vessels engaged in the passenger trade between &In-
tend and Australia, and such was evidently the opinion of
the Prince and Major Cowell, for each expressed himself
astonished with the apparent easy and luxurious fitting up
of the vessel. Other steamers in the docks also attracted
the attention of his Royal Higbee's.
On leaving the Mandon Dock the Satellite steamed along
the aide of the Northern Docks and landed at the great
landing stage, where the Mayor's carriage was again in rea-
diness to receive him. The Observatory at the Prince's
Dock was next visited, and here Mr. 'Lateen explained
the chronometers and wind-testing gauges, Ss., by which
the strength of the gale which swept the Irish coast and
the English channel last Saturday and Suoday was tested.
The Prince's Dock was the next source of attraction, and
thence the Prince and party drove to the Albert Duck and
warehouses. After going over the principal objects at thew
placer, the carriage drove to the Tows-hall, where an im-
mense ()amour's of people again. greeted his Royal High.

The day was fine, and the people took advantage of it to
exhibit their toilets and their loyalty.

HOW • NORTHERN REBEL LOOT A FORTUNE.—
Horatio Davis, Esq., a well known citizen of Roxbury died
a few days since, leaving a property of the estimated 'value
of 80,000 dole. or 70,000 dole. He was a single man, with •
number of blond relations. Within a year he made • will,
leaving the bulk of him property to his nephew, Aaron, son
of Charles Davis, appointing trustees to hold the property
until he (the nephew) was thirty years of age, when it was
to be banded over to his sole cooUol. It happened, how-
ever, that this nephew was at the south when the incision
troubles commenced, and, though a native of • northern
loyal city (Roxbury), he took the side of the south, joined
a rebel regiment inNew Orleans, wee appointed • lieutenant,
proceeded with them to Virginia, sal was • participant
in the battle of Bull Run. Some time in February
last, Mr. Davis heard of the rebel proclivities of his nephew,
and moo after sent for his lawyer, who, by his directions,
added a codicil to his will, by which the direction of his
fortune was entirely changed. This codicil provides for the
appointment of three trustees, viz.: teen. A. Simmons, Faq.,
with the Mayor of Roxbury, and the President of the Rox-
bury Charitable Society. ez.offirio. These trustees are to
have the entire estate in trust (with the exception of a small
amount to be paid out in legacies to relatives and others),
and are, semiannually. to pay to the treasurer of the Rox-
bury Charitable Society the interest accruing thereupon, to
be expended for the benefit of the pone of Roxbury, accord.

"to testify his hatred of secession."—Boston Trar el ler.
THE SOLDIERY TO RE REWARDED.—A Washington

dent Lincoln makes no secret of the fact that when the
rebellion is suppressed, be intends to make a sew disposes-
Um' of (the immense list of offices in the gift of the govern-
ment. He designs to ignore the adage, " blies are un-
grsitefuL" and to improve on the motto, ' To the victory
belong the spoils." He has frequently said that he longs
for the time when he can prove hie love for
the saviours of the Republic, by piecing them in
offices of honour and of profit. His keen eye is
watching the men who are rallying at the call of their
country, and when peace shall crown their labours and their
perils, the vent army of placenien most make room for the
warred veterans of Manassas, and it may be of Richmond,
Charleston, and New Orleans. What un impulse this will
give to enlistment. ! The fact that the soldier's life is the
nun door to honourable positions, and perhaps indepen-
dence, will stir up the young men of the loyal States to
deeds of enterprise and daring. This determination will be
seconded by the people at large, with the exception, per- I
haps, of the office-holders, who owe their present positions I
to pot-house ingueuce, or their pliancy as tools of this or
that member of the cabinet. Lincoln is determined to
imitate Napoleon in his love for the "National Guard,"
and he says, "the brave crew who get the ship off the
rocks shall man her when she gets into smooth seas."
