The Royal Visit to Lancashire.
LIVERPOOL, Wednesday.

It would have been reasonable to expect that,
after the fatigues of the progress through Liverpool
on Tuesday, and the dinner and ball at Knowsley
which followed the same night, the royal visitors
would be glad to rest ; but early to day the prince,
and a distinguished party commenced the explora-
tion of the Knowsley coverts, which are crowded
with game. In the afternoon the Earl of Derby and
the Hon. E. Stanley left the shooting party and
accompanied the Princess of Wales and the noble
hostess of Knowsley and the other ladies of -the
party on a visit to the Ravenhead glassworks of St.
Helen's.

Although the route did not lead through the
town, the St. Helen's folk kept close holiday, hung
out such flags and banners as they could find, rung .
the church bells, and assembled the school children
to greet the princess. The 47th Lancashire Rifles
and the 2d Lancashire Engineers mustered in force
to present the salute at the point of the route
nearest to the boundary of the town. At _Raven-
head the women and girls, to the number of 300,
arrayed themselves in striped pink and white
jackets, and the men turned their heads with a
will to the erection of arches and canopies for the
gratification and comfort of their illustrious visitor.
The royal party approached the works by the
Liverpool turnpike-road, which they had reached
through the Eccleston-gate, and then along a
narrow carriage drive to the entrance. The roads
approaching this carriage drive were divided by
barriers from the royal route, and here some hun-
dreds of people lined the route for miles, cheering
enthusiastically. Volunteers presented arms as
the princess entered the grounds of the works, and
the drive down to the entrance was kept by the
county police. Mr. Sullivan, the chief proprietor
of the manufactory, received the royal party at the
gate of the works. Here the princess alighted
on a crimson cloth under a canvas canopy,
which
formed the vestibule of the old casting-hall. The
immense room, containing 100 tempering ovens,
was visited by George IV., when Prince of Wales,
in company with the Duke of Wellington and a
party then staying at Knowsley. In this apartment
the princess witnessed the earlier and rougher pro-
cesses of glass-making, the royal party occupying
a dais covered with crimson cloth in the centre of
the hall. Mr. Sullivan described the process Of
tempering, and a pot of molten glass was taken
from one of the furnaces, poured upon an iron table,
and rolled into a sheet of glass, as an illustration of
the plate-making process. Leaving this apartment
the princess was conducted to a large shop, where
100 women and children were employed in smooth-
ing the plates of glass. The processes of grinding
the plates, polishing, and making them ready for
silvering, were then explained and seen in operation,
and in the last shop visited the princess witnessed,
with much interest, the workmen applying the
quicksilver to a fine plate intended for a mirror.
Upon leaving the building the royal party were
received with great cheering by all the workpeople
on the establishment, who were assembled on a
green which fronts the house of the manager, Mr.
Crossley. This enthusiastic demonstration continued
until the royal party left the works and proceeded
on the return route. The populace by this time had
assembled in much larger numbers, and, assisted by
several hundreds of school children, kept up a chorus
of cheering until the cortege had passed beyond the
bounds.
