Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wil:eB
to Liverpool

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.
Loyalty supersedes all markets to-day, and the
only " quotations" thought of for the last 48 hours
are those for seats at windows and balconies col'
manding a view of the royal procession, and in the
choice situations shopkeepers have been more than
compensated for their loss of customers by their
gains from spectators. The -Weather to-day was for-
tunately propitious, and in this respect the visit
forn.ed an agreeable contrast to that of her Majesty
in 1851, when a merciless rain fell for hours, 110-"'
extinguished the illuminations at night, and greatly
diminished the pleasure and comfort of the royal
party. This morning, though cold, and with a dash
of frost in the air, was bright and clear inland, and
the royal party were enabled to occupy open car-
riages from Knowsley to Liverpool.
Ths line of route through the town, commencing
with the West Derby-road, at the junction with
Sheil-road, led straight down to the Necropolis,
Brunswick-road, Moss-street, London-road, Lime"
street, Ranelagh-street, Church-street, Lord-street,
Castle-street, to the Prince's landing stage. Front
an early hour all these thoroughfares were crowded
with holiday-makers. The shops were nearly a
closed and the fronts converted into galleries for
spectators. The display of bunting was enormous,
and the British and Danish flags, ensigns, and stall-
dards were displayed in conjunction wherever this,
was possible, while the sentiment of " welcome'
was expressed in multiform mottoes in English'
Danish, French, and German. Along the route iron
this point to the bottom of London-road there were
some hundreds of thousands of people congregated,
all the principal points of the road being occupied
three or four hours before the time appointed for
the entry of the procession. The line from Roa'
lane to the borough boundary was kept by the
county police, and through the remainder of the
route by the borough police, assisted by the volun-
teers. The volunteer force on duty at various points
mustered in all about 4,000 men. They were n't.
ranged in the line from Ranelagh-street to Linle-
street, the Artillery on the left and the Rifles on the
right, while M'lver's fine body of artillery and
other volunteer corps (rifles) were stationed -021
the landing stage. The greatest assemblages et
spectators were on the place in front of St. George °
Hall (where the pediment of the Wellington
statue and the vast range of steps and platforni°
round the hall afforded capital points of view), at
the bottom of Bold-street, and at the junction o."t
Castle-street and Lord-street. The principal Been'
rative ornament of the town was a triumphal arch
constructed in Church-street, at an expense of he; •
tween £4OO and £5OO. The ships along the line of
docks and in the river were covered with flags, the
steamers belonging to the Royal Mail lines having
a magnificent display. Opposite the Prince's land-
ing stage the pilot boats were moored in close ordcri
and beautifully set out with flags. A large proper' •
tion of the Prince's landing stage was reserved fox
the royal party and tho municipal auth.witiPS.
steamer Woodside, which had been engaged for the
Prince and Princess, being moored alongside. The
sloping bridge set apart for the illustrious visitors and
their friends was converted into an arcade by flags"
The bridge and the path across the landing stage to
the steamer were covered with crimson cloth.
Throughout the whole line of route the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested, and their royal high"
nesses were continually bowing their acknowledg-
ments of the hearty plaudits which they received.
The royal carriage was preceded by a body of
mounted police. It contained the Prince and Princes°
of Wales and the Earl and Countess of Dail'
Lieut.-General Sir John Jones, K.C.8., accora"
parried the royal carriage on horseback in full uni"
form. The second carriage contained Lord Stanley,
and in this and the remaining carriages were the
distinguished guests of Lord Derby and the Earl 01
Sefton.

The procession left Knowsley at 11 o'clock?
calling at Croxteth-park for Lord Sefton's party'
and proceeding through West Derby village, and
arriving in Liverpool at 12. By half-past 12 th°
carriages reached Castle-street, where an immense
concourse of people had assembled, The greetings
here were prolonged and most enthusiastic, the
ladies joining and giving a welcome to the Princess/
which was most gracefully acknowledged. Til°
route to the landing stage was down Water-
street, which was festooned from end to end with
flags suspended from the merchants' and shopmen'°
offices, which are here the principal buildings'
Shortly before one o'clock the royal visitors reached
the stage, where they were received by the mar,,,,r"
On the stage and the surrounding quays and AV ajW
(which were alive with people) the enthusiasm w3"4
even greater, if possible, than in the streets. 1"°,
the Prince and Princess, with their party, embarkee
on board the Woodside, M'lver's Artillery corps
presented arms, while the band.played " God bless
the Prince of Wales." The royal standard was then
hoistsd on board the Woodside, and she proceeded
in a northerly direction along the line of docks,
headed by the tender of the Mersey Docks find
Harbour Board, the Alert, and followed (imme-
diately astern) by the Cunard tender Satellite, and
on the quarters by the smart and beautiful boats o',
the Mersey River Steamboat Company, the SPrit°
and Sylph, on board which were the members of tile,
Town Council and other public bodies. A perfe7
fleet of miscellaneous ferry boats, all reeling with
passengers, followed at a little distance.
-Woodside is one of the fine saloon steamers which
have lately come into such deserved popularity Oa'
river traffic. She was built by Messrs. Laird, an
lent for the occasion by the Birkenhead Comnais-
sioners, who were represented on board by Mr. 0'
K. Aspinall, Mr. Hind, and other gentlemen. 0:
cabins were carpeted, and an exquisite bouque
placed in the private saloon. A portion of the
upper deck was also carpeted and furnished with
,
cushioned chairs. Here the royal party sta9°`:
during the whole of the trip on the river, though
the weather at times was bitterly cold, and 61f
brilliant sunshine was temporarily obscured by
smart shower of rain, which drove a portion of the
company below. The passage up the river w 3,
necessarily slow in consequence of the crowds e'
steamers, which, in spite of the police regulations!
encroached on all sides upon the royal steamer, t:
the imminent danger of collision. On passing ‘
north fort a salute was fired, and the Woodside turne"
her head to the Cheshire side of the river, and 13r°-
ceeded southward, a short pause being made opPes'to,o
the Woodside landing stage in order to afford ti a
crowds there assembled a view of the Prince 011,1
Princess. The shipbuilding-yard of Messrs. Lailt
and Co. next attracted attention, and the Prince 3";
Derby entered into an animated conversation wt
Mr. John Laird, M.P., who, with his family, sv
on board. On passing her Majesty's ship pone `co
the yards were manned, and the band of the Marillra
struck up various national airs. The Clin3.
steamer Persia, decorated from stein to stern vs 0,
bunting, and carrying the Danish standard at tbe
to
foremast, was next passed, but no vessel seernecl,,,,,
interest them more than the school frigate ConTi'v
