M. DE LESSEPS IN LIVERPOOL.

Addresses were presented at the Liverpool Town Hall
yesterday to M. de Lesseps from the Chamber of Com-
merce and the East India and China Association. A
very large number of commercial men assembled on the
occasion, and M. and Madame de Lesseps were loudly
cheered. Madame de Lesseps, with a few ladies, occupied
a seat in the orchestra in the great ball room. In reply to
the addresses M. de Lesseps said that if he might judge
from the efforts of the past Liverpool would not have to
wait very long before her commercial relations were
doubled with India,China, anci other countries of the East.
He assured those present that the Suez Canal Company
would do all in their power to meet the requirements of
commercial men and to fulfil the important destiny of
that undertaking in regard to the material and moral pro-
gress of nations. M. de Lesseps afterwards went on
'Change, where he was very warmly greeted, and Mr.
Lange, who accompanied him made a few remarks, thank-
ing the merchants and shipowners for the very handsome
welcome which they had given to M. de Lesseps.
