by the glee singers, the whole of the company standing; and
joining in the chorus.
The MAYOR rose again, and said—My Lords and Gentle-
men, let us drink "The health of her Majesty the Queen
Dowager."
The MAYOR in a very short time rose again, and proposed
"The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, our
guest." Drunk with three times three cheers, and much
enthusiasm.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS, who was greeted with the loudest
acclamations when he rose, said—l thank you for the kind
manner in which you have received the toast. I am very
glad to have thin opportunity of expressing to you how
sincerely gratified I feel at the wery kind reception you
have given me in this town. It was always a cherished wish
of mine to vist this seat of commerce, and all I Ave seen
to-day has exceeded my anticipations. If my visit here will
assist an object of charity, reflecting credit on your liberality,
I shall be happy. lam glad to find you wishing to promote
the comforts of those who, by their toil and labour, and by
'exposing themselves to many dangers, are contributing to
that prosperity which I have this day seen.—(Tremendous
applause.) 1 have now to propose to you. " Continued pros-
perity td the town of Liverpool."—(brank with three times
three, and cheers.)
The Prince delivered this speech admirably, and in a man-
ner c Iculated to convince his hearers that he sincerely felt
what he uttered.
The company immediately after broke up (at 25 minutes
to twelve), the Prince proceeding to the Judges' lodgings in
St. Anne's-street.
In the evening there was a partial illumination of the town,
and at a short distance out there was a grand display of tire-
works, which lasted for two hours, very much to the delight
of crowds of holiday-making spectators.
This morning the whole population were again in a high
state.of excitement, and on the move from► an early hour.
All the flags, festoons, and other decorations which had been
put up for first welcoming of the Prince were retained, and
all the shops were shut. All the inhabitants, of every
grade, gentle and simple, were alike on the qui vice, the
whole people seemed to be in the streets, and the houses,
except the windows and balconies opening on the main
streets, which were filled from an early hour in the morn-
ing with a gaily-dressed and expectant company, were almost
deserted.
All this anticipation had in view what, at least to the
people of Liverpool, was a very grand event. The Prince
was to lay the foundation-stone of the new building, the
Sailor's Home ; and preliminary to that there was to be a
monster procession of all the trades, societies, fraternities, and
associations in the place. with all their flags, insignia, and
bands of music ; and this was to be participated in by no
less a person than Prince Albert himself, who was to accom-
pany it on its lengthy and tortuous route, through all the
chief districts of the town, and so on to the intended site of
the new building. For all these magnificent things there
was good official guarantee—no less than that of em programme
signed by the Mayor. Now it is quite unnecessary to say
that such an exhibition taking place in any provincial town,
even in one so metropolitan as Liverpool, was quite enough
to set the people wild with excitement, and draw the whole
population into the streets. And so it proved. The place
was probably never in such a state of excitement before ;
and it is just to the inhabitants to say that the display they
made has scarcely been surpassed on any previous occasion.
The procession of trades was formed, according to the ar-
rangement previously ordered by, the Mayor, soon after
halt-past nine o'clock in the North Hayraarket, in the follow-
ing order :

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
THURSDAY. (CONCLUDED).
We quession if a Goodwood Cup ever excited so little in-
terest amongst sporting men as the one carrie:l off this after-
noon by Mr. O'Brien's Grimston. Speculation was on a very
limited scple, the field was bad, and the result, although it
added a few thousands to the large sum won by the same
gentleman on the Goodwood Stakes, was so easily achieved,
as to make it one of the least exciting races of the day. It
is fortunate, therefore, that the public did not attach much
importance to the grade of the animals from whom their
amusement was to be derived ; suffiiknt for them that it was
the " Cup Day," and that the extraordinary fineness of the
weather, and special trains at all hours, offered every induce-
ment to enjoy it. That all the "extras" arrived in time we
cannot say; certais, it is, 1 ow over, that the assemblage on
the course was immense ; g cater, in our opinion, if not so
aristocratic, than has been seen at any previous meeti :g.
'she Grand Stand would have been crammed had its capa-
cities been trebled; lack of room drove hundreds to the
inclosure, and made the trees at its extremity a grateful
retreat from the broiling heat of the sun.
With so many other claims on our time, it was impossible
to obtain a complete list of the company; we must therefore
first state that H.R.H. Prince George of Cambridge arrived
by one of the special trains in the morning, and was present
until nearly the close of the racing; and then, after enume-
rating the visitors at Goodwood and Molecomb, make a brief
selection of the fashionables.
1 he- Goodwood " House List" contained the following
names :—Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Earl and Countess
of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Eglinton, Earl Jersey,
Earl of Uxbridge and Lads- Ann Paget, Earl Stradbroke,
Earl Villiers, Marquis of Granby, Marquis Cianricarde,
Earl Rosslyn, Earl ef Glasgow, Lard and Lady Stanley,
Lady Blanche Somerset, Lord and Lady Arthur Lennox,
Lord W. Lennox, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Dupplin, Lord
Maidstone, Lord Duncannon, Lord G. Manners, Lord A.

Sir W. M. Stanley, Sir J. Shelley, Captain Pettat, Captain

Albert Ricardo. There were also present the Duke and
Duchess of Montrose, the Marquis of Wate: ford, the Earl of
Suffield, Earl of Granville, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Charles
Fitzroy, Lord Glamis, Lord Drumlanrig, Lord Andover,
Lord Longford, Lord F. Fitzclarence, Sirs C. Cockerell and

roy, Spencer Littleton, and Colonel Synge; Messrs. Gratwicke,
Millbanke, A. Berkeley, colt, A. Johnstone, Bigge, C. Mills,
Lowther, Jaques, Crockford, Portman, Archdall,
On the sport it is needless to dilate; a more brilliant or
exciting day's racing it has never been our good fortune to
witness; it was in keeping with the unapproachable superior-
ity of Goodwood, and only too good.

The formation of a procession of between 7,000 and 8,000
people naturally took up some time, more than had been
calculated by the authorities; for they had appointed that it
should call at the Judge's lodgings at eleven o clock, at which
place the Prince and his suite were to have joined it at that
hour. But the extreme length of the procession so delayed
its progress, that it did not reach that point till after twelve.
The Prince, who it will be seen is placed in the programme
on a level for importance with " the trowel," then joined the
procession, which proceeded at a rate as rapid as possible
down Norton-street, Seymour-street, Russell-street,Clarence-
street, Mounts pleasant, Oxford-street, Abercrombie- square,
West-side, Bedford-street South, Falkner-street, Catherine-
street, Canning-street, Sandon-terrace, Rodney-street, Leech-
street, Bold-street, Churei-street, Lord-street, and South
John-street, to the site of the new building, opposite the
Post-office.
It would be difficult to convey to the reader's mind any
idea of the excitement produced throughout the length, and
a great portion of the breadth, of Liverpool, by this immense
stream of people pouring through it. As a mere procession
it had no feature distinguishirg it from any ordinary assem-
blage of trades or temperance societies, with flags and
banners and other insignia, except that it was on a larger
scale. But the interest felt in it by the spectators gave it
an importance which otherwise it could not have possessed,
and made a scene excessively animated and beautiful which
would otherwise have been sufficiently dull and tedious, es-
pecially in the extreme heat that prevailed. The whole line
of route of the procession (and it must have traversed a dis-
tance of four or five miles) was alive with human beings, the
houses decorated with flags, and tl- e windows filled with
spectators. As each particular trade, or body, defiled past,
they were saluted with cheers by those among the crowd
who took any especial interest in them, and sometimes a
rivalry was produced that was highly amusing. But the
chief interest seemed to centre in the sailors. Whenever
that rolling rollicking mass of dark blue was seen coming up,
shouting, laughing, cheering, an infection seemed to be
communicated to the spectators, and they cheered too, and
the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, carried completely
away by the enthusiasm of the moment. The Prince was
received in the most enthusiastic manner throughout this
long and somewhat tedious progress.
At the site of the Sailors' Home a vast mass of persons had
assembled from an early hour. The arrangements were ad-
mirably made, so that there was no confusion. No more
tickets were issued than there was room to accommodate the
bearers. A raised platform, capable of accommodating se-
veral hundred persons, commanded an excellent view of the
open space below, in which the ceremonial was to take place;
and the vast area which forms the site of the building was
lined on all sides by visitors, chiefly ladies, who were accom-
modated with seats. But great inconvenience was expe-
rienced by all from the extreme heat, to suffer which they
were condemned for a much loner time than necessary, in
consequence of a regulation that no person should be ad-
mitted after twelve o'clock. As the Prince did not arrive
till long after three o'clock, a vast number of persons were
exposed to unnecessary torture—for torture the intense heat
in so exposed a place certainly produced. Several ladies
were carried fainting from the platform long before the pro-
ceedings commenced.
As soon as the Prince arrived he was conducted to the
place at which the ceremony of laying the stone was to be
performed. Here the ordinary preparations had been made,
and the ordinary ceremony on such occasions was performed.
The details must be reserved for another dispatch.
In consequence of the delay occassioned by the length of
the procession, the Prince was obliged to relinquish his in-
tention of partaking of a dijeuner at the Town-ball; and in-
stead of going back to St. Anne-street, be proceeded direct
to the station, which he left by special train for London at
four o'clock, where his arrival would precede that of this
dispatch.
BIRMINGHAM, Fnusmr.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert, accompanied by Lord Morpeth, the Marquis of Aber-
corn, and suite, arrived by special train at the Birmingham
station, on their return from Liverpool, at twenty minutes
past six this evening, and started again for London at ten
minutes to seven. During his few minutes' stay his Royal
Highness promenaded the E. planade' and entered into
familiar conversation with the Mayor, Colonel Thorne, the
commandant of the district, and the other authorities in at-
tendance. The whole of the party appeared to be in the
highest spirits, and expressed the great gratification they
had experienced in their hasty trip to Liverpool. Mr. Bury,
the head of the locomotive department of the line between
Birmingham and London, took charge of the train on its re-
urn hence to the metropolis.

MUSIC.

A GRAND FANTASIA FOR THE PIANO.
FORTE. in which are introduced two new Waltzes,
and a Grand March. By I. Cohan.
Although Beethoven had but one professional pupil
Ferdinand Rees, we have, in this extraordinary work
a proof that the great master's principle of composing,
according to his own inspiration, without regard to the
difficulty, or, if it should be, impossibility, which others
might find in the execution of his work, is preserved in
the school, by his favourite Ferdinand's pet pupil, Isaac
Cohan. The spirit of genius pervades this Fantasia,
but its popularity cannot fail to be a long while retarded
by the unparalleled difficulty of the fingering. It. is
written in the key of D. But the third strain of each
11 altz, and some of the variations, are in B 'flat ; one
strain of the variations in G fiat, and another
part in C. The Grand March—in itself a noble
piece—is partly in I), partly in B flat, and partly
in F. The Introduction (Allegretto) in D, con-
taining a variation on the first waltz is not
so difficult as the waltz itself, in which the rapid changes
of octave in the first strain, render the piece exceedingly
difficult. The enormous practice that would be neces-
sary to any person of moderate skill, in order to be per-
fect in the performance of this waltz, would almost pro-
hibit one from attempting it. Although the first strain
is the most difficult part of the waltz, the remaining part
is of no ordinary intricacy. The second waltz is more
simple, practicable, and intelligible, and is therefore more
satisfactory, not only to the player, but to the hearer.
This is followed by a startling example of the skill of
the composer ; containing the first waltz in the left, and
the second in the right hand. Widely different as the
waltzes are, the effect produced by the two together
is very pleasing, and they are fitted to one another with
the greatest nicety. It would appear almost incredible,
but it is nevertheless a fact, that this part of the piece
is so arranged as to be less difficult than the first waltz
as arranged separately. It is followed by a series of
brilliant variations, which, however, are almost im-
practicable to any but professional musicians. The
" Grand March," which concludes the piece, is very
brilliant and very lengthy ; it surpasses all the rest of the
fantasia in difficulty, and would require something like
legerdemain from the performer. On the whole, the
work must be regarded as one of the " curiosities of
music," and compels one to desire that, whilst the
author preserves the excellencies of his school, he would
ndulge less in contempt of mechanical facility.

Saturdaydutyon last. irons a
subsequent examination into the circumstances of the case,
we have discovered them to be of the most distressing kind,
and that Colonel Macerone's death was accelerated by anguish
of mind at beholding around him his wife and children in an
utterly hopeless condition. Only a few days previously an
execution, made in the house in which he lodged, took from
him the whole of his furniture and clothing. such was the
state of destitution in which his widow was left, that, until the
last few days, she had not actually wherewith to purchase a
coffin wherein to inclose her husband's remains. This is a
case which we feel sure only requires to be made known in
order to excite the most prompt and warm sympathy of the
public. The widow, with her two orphans, are now residing
at 1, Mortimer-terrace, N9rland-road, Notting-hill, and
would be grateful for any assistance Which way be rendered
her.-. Chronicle.

PORT GLASGOW.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last week an
accident of a very melancholy nature occurred here, by
which Captain Duncan Ritchie, agent for the old Clyde
Shipping Company, was deprived of life. It seems that,
while some workmen were discharging cotton from a vessel
in the harbour, he put his hand to the bales to facilitate their
ascent from the hold, and just at that moment the rope gave
way, and he was precipitated along with the cotton down
the hatchway. When taken up, life was found to be extinct.
He has left a widow and family to lament their premature
bereavement.— Glasgow Chronic'e.
A machine for dressing flax has been invented by
a M. Blerteus, of Gheel (Belgium), which does the work of
thirty men at one-tenth the expense of the old method. This
machine is expected to have much influence on the cultiva-
tion and spinning of flax, especially in Ireland,

would then ask the shareholders to look at the position in
which they were placed. He would suppose that those gen-
tlemen had employed their agents to purchase those shares
at 30s. each, whilst those very gentlemen had received
21. 12s. ed. for every share. What then must they think, of
their conduct?
Mr. MASTERMAN (a director)—The managing committee
have purchased no shares whatever.
Tire SEcooranv—They have not purchased a single share.
Mr. Osnoriat: did not say they had, but he believed that
he should not subject himself to the charge of
uncharitableness if he said that he believed that thou
shares had been purchased with the knowledge, consent, and
approval of those gentlemen, aad also of the South-Western
Company ; for he believed the South-Western Company to
be at the bottom of this matter.— (Hear, hear.)
But the fact was too strong to be disputed that
those shares had been purchased at thirty shillings a
piece. lie would venture to say that by far
a greater part of those gentlemen then in the room, and also
of those who authorised the directors to vote in their name
in favour of the continuance of the scheme, were those who
had purchased their shares at 30s. a piece. The very shares
that had been purchased in the discreditable manner to which
he had alluded would be turned that day against the other

TERRIFIC THUNDER-STORM.

(THIS DAT)

This afternoon, at about a quarter before foil
o'clock, a tremendous thunderstorm passed eve
the metropolis. Several vivid flashes of light
ning, followed by loud peals of thunder, were

the preludes to a perfect hurrioene of wind, rain,
and hail. The storm burst at once, as though. a water-
spout had burst—the wind raged with terrific fury,
and the hailstones, which fell with the rain
were some of them of the diameter of at
least half an inch. In several instances windows
were broken by the hailstones. The hurricane of wind
and hail lasted about ten minutes, when it became nearly
a dead calm, but the rain, and lightning, and thunder,
still continue, and the rain is at this moment
pouring down like a shower bath.
