QUEEN IN THE PEEL PARK.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

Yesterday morning, at ten ~'clock, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, aPctieicianied by his suite, paid a visit to the
• Peel park, Satf)rd, for the purposl of being present at
the iniugura•ion of the statue of :the Qleen, which has
been erected in commerneration of her Majesty's visit; to
Manchester and Sill •rd, in 1851 The-day was kept as a
!!olirisy in 831terrii all the shops and orher•plaees•-of busi-
ness being closed. From almost every window flags were
depending; and the wh'Ola ratite' along which' it had been
a7rtingt•d his Royal ,highness should pass, was crowded
with spectators, as early as half-Rast eight o'clock in the
morning. The Prince was entlinsiaslically cheered as he
passed alonr.;., and repeatedly acknowledged the cheering
of tile crowd.

His Royal Highness and his suite, in two of the royal
carriages, arrived .at the Crescent, in Salford, about a quar-
ter to ten o'clock, where they were received by Stephen
Heelis, E4q., the Mayor of Salford, and C. Gibson, Esq.,
the Town Clerk.

Preceded by the Mayor in his carriage, and a company
of the 7th Drag )on Guards, the royal cortege then entered
the Peel Park by the principal entrance in the Crescent,
statist the booming of cannon, the military band at the
same moment playing the " National Anthem." An
immense number of Fpectators had for some time been
assembled in the Park, and his Royal H ghuess's arrival
vas the signal for loud and long-continued cheering His
Royal Highness qvas conducted to thii main entrance of the
Royal Library and Museum, where he -was received by the
Mayor, and a deputation of the Council, in addition to the
members of the Royal Museum and Library Committee,
by whom he was conducted to the library, where the rest
of the Council were ''assembled. Having been introduced
to•the Council, his Royal Highness was conducted to the
reading room, and having taken his seat on the dais, the
Mayor, the Town Clerk, and the Chairman of the Com-
mittee, advanced, and his Worehip read the follAing
address :
TO 1119 ROYAL HIGH/MT THE PRINCIC !ALBERT, CONSORT 'OF

TIER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY TILE QUEEN.

We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough
of Salford, filth() County Palatine of Lancaster, in Council
• .
a'sembled, beg leave to approach your Royal Highness
with feelings of profound respect 'and devoted attachnient.
We embrace the opportunity afforded by your Royal High-
ness's 'Visit to this neighbourhood, of tendering our hearty
cangratulatiOns on the 'redo= birth of ao princess, and the
prospect of her Majesty's, epeedy -restoration to her
usual health and strength • and we would add, our ear-
nest hope that this addition to the' royal family
circle may not only prove a source of happiness to the
august parents, but may conduce to the cementing more
firmly, if that be possible, the ties and obligations of a
loyal, devoted, and affectionate people; to their beloved
sovereign. We deeply regret that her Majesty and your
R iyal Hielmegs have to mourn the loss of her Royal High-
ness the Dachess of Gloticesier, the last of a now by-gone
generation of the Royal Family of England.; a lady not
more exalted in station than generally beloved and
respected, and endeared to the nation by a long life of
unostentatious virtue. We sincerely condole with her
Majesty and your Royal Highness on this bereave-
ment. Your Royil Ifighaess's` Visit to Manchester
has for its object the, promotion of an attempt made
in the great community of which wo are parr, to afford
a pure, innocent, and uhpreeedented means of refining
and elevating the taste, feelings, and intelligence of the
people at large, which attempt, with God's blessing, we
feel assured will be crowned with complete success. We
are aware that when your Royal Highness first consented
to bestow your patronage, and to endeavour to procure
that of her Majesty, to the exhibition undevaken with
such views, and now opened under such favourable auspices,
it was your expressed wish that it might result in some-
thing permanent, and that it should not be what its prede-
cessors apparently have been, ephemeral. We are, there-
fore, emboldened to draw your, Royal Highness's_ attention.
to' the budding in which' we tare now assembled, and the
lbrary and museum which itontains. and, to nut forward
their claims to be, in some degree, antterpatory or your
Royal Highness's desires. The original building, and the
park in which it stands, were purchased by v luntary
subscription, aided by a s ight and insignificant grant out
of the fund which had been placed at the disposal of
government for such purposes. Since that time very
considerable additions have been made to the fabric at
the cost of this community. The Library and Museum have
been formed principally by individual contributions,
some of them of a munificent character in point of
amount; and we hope we may point to the facts that since
the opening of the library and museum in January, 1850,
thsy have been visited by 2,362 619 persons; that the
books lent out amount on an average to 72,000
annually, and the number of readers in the library
to 100,000 annually, as proofs of the estimation in
which the institution is locally held, and the advantage
taken of the facilities which it affords. It may be proper
alto to inform'your Royal Highness that the estimated
value of the books and articles in the museum is £15,000.
We would recall to the recollection of your Royal Highness
your former visit to this park in October, 1851. On that
occasion .her Mejesty was graciously pleased to receive an
address from us, in the presence of 80,000 Sunday School
children and teachers —an assemblage without parallel in
its character, and one of which we believe her Majesty and
your Royal. Highness have a pleasing recollection. To
commemorate that visit there has been executed, and re-
cently erected in the park, a statue of her Majesty, which we
respectfully pray your R iyal Highness to inaugurate. A
substantial amount of the cost, of that statue has been
defrayed by the voluntary small but hearty contribu'ions of
children and teachers, from whose minds the remembrance
of what passed cannot be effaced, but who have been,
desirous of handing down to posterity the memorial
of an event in which they were personally engaged, which
brought them into the presence of their revered sovereign,
and which forms a bright spot in their existence. We
true t that your Royal Highness will convey tether Most'
Gracious Majesty the expression of what we believe to be
the feeling of the thousands of her young subjects who
were present in October, 1851, and our own cordial sym-
pathy with that feeling, along with our assurance of
devoted loyalty and attachment, and our earnest prayer
that she may long be spared by Providence to reign over
these realms, and a united and prosperous people.
His Royal Highness made the following reply
Mayor, Aldermen, and Gentlemen,-1 thank you
with all my heart for the address which you have presented,
and for your warm expressions of attachment to the
Qieen. It must be very pleasing to her to find her subjects
uniting with, her in joy and satisfaction in any event which
tends to increase her happiness and that of her family ;
and, on the other hand, sympathising with her in her sorrow,
when the inscrutable decrees of Providence have visited
them with affliction. My presence here to-day may testify
to you, in return, that any object which may be designed
for the advancement of the prosperity and happiness of her
people commands her personal interest and solicitude. I
may be allowed to congratulate you upon the achievement
of a work of such usetulness to this vast community, as
the creation of this park, library, and museum, giving at
once 'the means of healthy recreation and mental improve-
ment to a population employed day after day, without
relief, in the monotonous labour of factory work. I con-
gratulate you, however, particularly upon your success,
proving to your fellow citizens that those means of recreation
and improvement are objects worthy of their individual
exertions ; and on the fact that they have themselves made
the sacrifices which were necessary to procure a blessing
to them, which they will doubly value as their own. The
statistics to which you have referred, showing the number
of persons who have availed themselves of the boon,
amply testify that this is the case, and that any a' tempt
to graft upon the Art Treasures Exhibition, now attracting
the attention of Europe to Manchester, a permanent
institution, would be in accordance with the spirit of the
people, and would probably succeed in furthering objects,
the benefit of which for their welfare they have learned
to appreciate. It is with pleasure that I comply with your
request to inaugurate the statue which loyalty has erected
on a spot where the- Queen met, for the first time, your
body in the presence of 80,000 children, enjoying the
blessings of scheol education. That they may grow up
an addition to the active power and strength cf this
country is my anxious wish ; and may succeeding genera-
tions, toeing the Queen's statue in the midst of this park,
find in its contemplation an assurance that, 'where loyalty
and attachment to the Sovereign, as the representative of
the institutions of the country, are linked to an ardent
love of progress, founded upon self-reliance and self-
improvement, a country cannot fail to prosper, under the
favour of the Almighty.
The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, Presi-
dent of the Institutional Aseociation of Lancashire and
Cheshire, then advanced to his Royal Highness, and
handed to him the following address from the members of
the association. It was intended, by the expressed wish
of his Royal Highness, to have read the address, and a
numerous and influential deputation from the 'various
towns forming the association were present, but in conse-
quence of hid Royal Highness having to attend a meeting
of the Privy Council, yesterday a,ternoon, when the
Queen's speech would be read, and the time of his Royal
I Highness being consequently limited, the intention of

Ie2iTET

reading the address was abandoned. His Royal High-
ness intimated to the depntiation that he should forward a
written reply. the address was ps follows :

After the presentation of the address, his Royal High-
nese was conducted through the museum by the Mayor
and Mr. Alderman Lang worthy, chairman of the. Museum
and Library C munittee' and subsequently he visited the
Lbcal'Art being received at the ent ance to the,
ga lery by Mr. J. A. Irammersley, the chairman, and the
members of 'the executive committee. After spending
abut an hour in the exhibition, with which his Royal'
Highness expressedlimself very much gratified. he pro-
ceeded,to the lentrered.platforin prepared fee during
the inauguration of the noble statue of her Majesty,••which
ha 4 been.executed by. Mr. Noble, sculptor. His-Royal
Highness, on emerging from the museum, and making his
appearance near the statue, was again 'enthusiastically.
cheered. •

The Mayor having briefly addressed his Royal Highness,
Mr. Alderman Agnew, the chairmain of the Sunday
Schools Committee, from whom the subccriptions for the
statue ma,nficame, presented his ROyal Highness with an
attlre4s from the committee.
ane covering of the 'statue was then removed, amidst
loud cheers, and the band of the 25th regiment struck up
the National Anthem. A royal salute was also fired by
the artillery.

Mr. Noble, the sculptor, was introduced to his Royal
Highnecs, to whom he pointed out the details of the statue.
The Prince seemed much gratified with it.
The statue, which is of full length, is executed in pure
white marble, and stands on a while marble pedestal. It
represents. the Queen in full regal costume, has a com-
manding appearance, and is certainly a most admirable
likeness.

After remaining for about a quarter of an hour longer,
the royal cortege was again formed, and the Prince left
the park in the nrder of arrival, and accompanied by the
Mayor of Manchester, be arri'ed at the London road
station shortly betore twelve, and left. for London in a
special train exactly at twelve o'clock.

REVOLTING PROCEEDINGS AT BIRKENHEAD-
FURTHER DISCLOSURES.

In our impression of Monday last, under the above head,
we had occasion to refer to certain disgraceful doings at
Birkt nheai ferry, in connection with horse flesh. Since
then, as hinted at in the article alluded to, we have made
still further inquiry into the subject, and for that purpose
visited " the hut" near to the dock cottages, where, as was
tnen stated, the wholesale bsiling down of the horses was
carried en in a most gigantic style. The " hut," then, in
question, we find is situated within the boundary of the
township of Birkenhead, and is bounded on the east by a
smsll patch of ground belonging to W. Jackson, Esq., M.P.,
and on the west by what are known as the dock cottages.
The " hut" is a mud cabin, about seven feet
square, with a wooden fence recently thrown up
outside the door, so as to form a yard, and, at
the same time, a protection against the vulgar gaze. On
looking into it, we found in the one corner a large boiler,
and a kettle, with a goodly complement of barrels ranging
towards the door; while, on the other side, we noticed a
large frying pan, the appearance of which indicated that
it had not, at ad events, been used in the herring p'ocess.
Outside the whole is a large sunk duugstead, filled almost
to overflowing with the most disgusting excrements. At a
distance from the " hut" the smell was, as may well be
conceived, certainly not like the rich perfume from Arraba
pure. This " hut" was built about three months ago,
under the direction of its present proprietor, who
resides in the immediate vicinity. During the time
that this structure has been in existence, considerable
numbers of horses have been boiled down, after being
dragged from the scene of their death along
the highway, long ere the "golden sun itself
had ope'd the gates of day." Yes, and we also
learned from a relative of the proprietor himself that the
carcases of cows and calves, which have died in various
quarters of the country, have been brought to, and boiled
in the hut. No later than Sabbath last, the " steam," so
to speak, was up in the premises, and on Monday morning
last, a shortl time before six o'clock, two cart loads of
bones were drawn from the place, causing a smell in the
whole neighbonrhood that was most offensive. While we
could find plenty most respectable and sensible people an the
dock property to attest the fact that it was already a
positive nuisance, and would be still more so when the
warm summer weather came, we could not find one who
could say what became of the stuff. Frequently,
however, the track of cart wheels were perfectly
noticeable leading from the " hut" towards the
Hoylake Turnpike-road, and thus it was infe red, that
dining the c ouds of midnight the Etuff was quietly
carted away, for uses which no one but the proprietor
and the purchaSer could alone tell. In consulting
with the agent of the propel ty —the dock cottages—we
learn that tee population thereof will range from 1,500 to
2,000 souls. During the prevalence of easterly winds the
smell is carried into almost every house. We alto learn
that the corporation cf Liverpool, and a gentleman named
William King, E-q., of London, are itterested in the dock
property, and such being the case, we would advise them
to look to the removal of this eyesore and nuisance, than
which, in our opinion, there does not exist a greatsr. We
would also suggest the questi, n. where did the proprietor
obtain leave to build the hut?" and since, moreover, we
are in the way of interrogating, we would also ask the
proprietor to show his tide even for the erection of his
present coalyard situated near to the dock cottages
church, and to which we would suggest to the inspector
of nuisances to keep a sharp eye. In the course
of our investigation, which occupied fully two he urs, we
learned the no way surprising fact that since the erection
of the but, two of the most respectable farmers in the
&strict have lost no fewer than between thirty and forty,
of their most valuable cows. Viewing the whole facts (it
this case, submitted wi hout the least extenuation, we do
think that it is high time our authorities were treating such
a case on its peculiar merits. Whether the "hut" is
built outside the boundary of Birkenhead or not, it is clear
that the importance of the case should have warranted
interference five -weeks ago, when it was known to some of
the cfficials, and when at that time two of the paid servants
of the township did visit the place we have thus bro 4 t
under notice. For such cases the " milk and sop"
system will never do. We, therefore, wept to see the
result of the deliberations at the Beard of Health meeting

Contrary to the 241st section of ;he -.police act. Mr.
Berry, of the railway-solicitor's office, was for the prose-
cution, and Mr. Block defended the prisoners. The
offence, under the act, is a misdemeanour. From the

to Mr, Block, said the men were not allowed to bring in -
ale to be drunk on the premises. Mr. Black contended
that there was ito evidence to shoe that the prisoners
