THE QUEEN'S VISIT.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of this day.)
Since our notice on Tuesday of the arrangements
in connexion with her Majesty's visit to the " good old
town," the committees of council have been actively
engaged in their respective departments. A general
meeting of the committee was held onWednesday, when
the reports of the committees were brought forward for
confirmation. A report of the proceedings will be
found in another column. The general arrange-
ments, to which we have from time to time alluded,
were confirmed. It is understood that in consequence
of some dissatisfaction as regards the royal route,
the line of progress is to be slightly changed—to
iaclude Castle-street as far as the Branch Bank
of England and Brunswick-street. It is recom-
mended that stages be erected on land near the
Zoological Gardens ; within the area at the front of
the Infirmary ; on the vacant land new the work-
house in Brownlow-hill ; in Hardman-street, near the
Institution for the Blind; iel Leece-street, within
the area around St. Luke's Church ; in Church-
street, within the railings of St. Peter's; and in Can-
ning. place, near the Sailors' Home. In Lime-street
and St. John's-lane stages will also be erected. As
a wise precaution, the committee recommend that
balconies to windows be supported by props, and
that, in all cases competent tradesmen should
make an examination as to their security. The stages
are to be constructed only upon plans and specifications
approved by the committee. The children of the va-
rious charity schools will be accommodated on the
inclosed space round St. George's Hall, and after the
Royal cortege has pissed, they will be taken to their re-
spective schools, and provided with an entertainment. It
is expected they will number about 20,000. The Land-
ing -stage is to be laid out to accommodate from 2,148
to 2,200 persons, and the three steamers placed at the
disposal of the committee will each contain 300 indi-
viduals. Admission to both will be obtained by ticket,
400 being at the disposal of the members of the
council, and the remainder in the hands of the dock
committee. Accommodation for spectators will also
be provided on the piers, and other sites along the
line of docks where a view of the river can be com-
manded.

As regards the Town-hall, the Mayor's-room and
the adjoining ante-room are to be appropriated as
retiring rooms for the Queen ; and the town-
clerk's room and ante-room as retiring apartments
for the Prince. They will all be appropriately
furnished. The plans for arranging the ball-rooms
have been approved. The larger room will ac-
commodate 552 person, besides the members of
the council ; and the smaller one, which is to be
devoted to ladies only, 250. The ladies will be
placed on benches on either side of the apartment, and
the Queen twill pass down the centre. The dais in
the large ball-room is to be covered with crimson
baize, and upon it three chairs of state will be placed,
one emblazoned at the back with the royal crown,
the second with the coronet of his Royal Highness,
and the third with the feathers 'and coronet of the
Prince of Wales. The Queen will step forth upon the
balcony overlooking the Exchange area, and it has
been decided to remove so much cf the external
wall above the centre window of the ball-room as will
enable her Majesty to pass into the balcony on a level
with the floor of the room. It is understood that the
luncheon for her Majesty- and suite will be provided by
Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel. The royal party
will consist of about thirty persons, though a larger
number may be accommodated by replenishing the
tables. The address, as we have before stated, will be
deposited in a silver box, ornamented with gold, and
appropriately carved. The workmanship of the box has
been entrusted to Mr. Mayer, of Lord-street. A new
royal standard is to float over the Town-hall ; the
area of the Exchange is to be decked with evergreens
sad plants from the Botanic Gardens ; and last, but
not least, the mayor's state carriage is to undergo a
thorough redecorating, in honour of the occasion.
The inhabitants are to use their own taste and judg-
ment as to the kind of favours worn throughout the
day, the council making no suggestion on this subject.
The members of the corporate body, however, are to
be distinguished by badges worked in gold, on royal
blue ribbons, with the arms of the corporation
upon them in full. The use of the Exchange
News-room has been granted, should it be required,
as a supper-room during the ball. The secretaries of
the various literary societies have applied to the coun-
cil, requesting that they might be associated in the
arrangements for presenting an address to the Queen.
On this a resolution has been passed, that the address
of the council must be taken to be the address of the
whole of the inhabitants ; and a reply has been re-
turned that applications for the presentation of other
addresses must be made to one of her,Majesty's Secre-
taries of State.
It has been decided that each member of the
council shall have six tickets of admission to the large
ball-room, and four to the smaller ball-room, during
the presentation of the address. This would leave
twenty-four at the disposal of the Mayor. The
boudoir and private drawing-rooms for the Queen
and Prince Alhert will, we understand, be fitted up in
very chaste and elegant style under the direction of
Messrs. Holden and Co., of Church-street. The
Zoological Gardens will be opened at nine o'clock
in the evening for the admission of company ;
and it is understood that the display of fireworks at
the north end of the town will be given' to Mrs.
Atkins, under the direction of Mr. E. Atkins. The
members of the council will have four hundred
tickets for the gardens at their disposal. There have
been some applications to be enrolled as members of
the "guard of honour," but the candidates are not
so numerous as was at first expected.

Yesterday the followtm; code of reguelruatii7e e
si:
the
re-
ference to the arrangements for the
river was submitted to the dock committee, and
adopted :
:76 "w,r,. A line of steamers to he anchored at a distance of
."
'r34 two hundred yard.) from the river wall, end 150
r ;t'' :- 7Tyards from each other. The line to extend from
•Sri .c. s- :So • the Dingle to the Rock. One row boat to be at-
tached to each steamer. Th'„', masters of steamers are
Qt-:ti.., , requested to assist the authorities in preventing
all boats and vessels from passing between them
'''''kr,*l- and the river wall during the time the Queen is on
N the river, namely, between the hours of ten and one.
a No boats are to be allowed alongside the steamers,
except the row boats, nor will boats be permitted to be
alongside the piers, or inside the landing-stage. j

Pilot-boats and gentlemen's yachts are to be anchored
in the vacant spaces between the steamers. Owners
willing to form the line are requested to send in
their names to the dock committee. All other
steamers are to be anchored outside to the
westward of the flotilla, at a distance of 350 yards,
leaving a clear course along the Cheshire shore. Ships
ready for sea are to remain in dock on the morning
of the 9th, and ships arriving are requested to anchor
as near as possible in the line. Steamers are re-
quested not to fire guns while her Majesty is passing.
The steamers are to come to their stations not later
than seven o'clock, A.M., on the morning of the 9th,
and a lithographed plan is to be furnished to each
steamer forming the line. An officer will be stationed
afloat to assist masters of steamers in forming the line.
The Liverpool life-boats, five in number, will be
anchored in line between the steamers and the land-
ing stage. It is requested that all persons intending
to view the excursion on the river be on board the
steamers at au early hour.
The landing stage will be closed from the evening
of Monday, the 6th, until Friday, the 10th October,
in order to complete the arrangements contemplated
for the suitable reception of her Majesty and the ac-
commodation of the public.
'the royal yacht is to be brought alongside the
landing-stage with her head to the south. Imme-
diately on her Majesty embarking she will proceed up
the river to the end of the dock works, as far as the
Din_gle ; then crossing over to the Cheshire shore, she
will sail down the river as far as the Rock, then re-
cross and proceed along the north docks to the land-
ing-stage. One of the fastest steamers, burningcoke
instead of coal, with a single officer on board, will
precede her Majesty's yacht to clear the way.
Admission to the three steamers which are to fol-
low the royal yacht will be by ticket only, and la-
dies and gentlemen are to be on board not later than
ten o'clock A.M., at which time steamers must leave,
on account of the tide. The three steamers are to
sail abreast, under the charge of the commodore of
the squadron, who is to see that each vessel proceeds
at the same rate of speed. There will be deck ac-
commodation for three hundred persons on each of
the steamers.

A platform will be erected on the landing-stage to
accommodate 2,148 persons; and in addition there will
be standing room on the south side of George's-basin
and George's-pier in front of the baths. Admission to
the platform and landing-stage will be by ticket ; and
ladies and gentlemen are particularly requested to be in
their places not later than half-past ten. None will be per-
mitted to cross the bridge after that hour, nor will any
parties be allowed to leave the landing-stage or
platform until after her Majesty shall have disem-
barked, passed the stage in her carriage, and driven
away. Platforms will also be erected on the
King's-pier, to accommodate 1,425 persons ;on the
Albert parade and pier, to accommodate 2,375 ;
and on the Prince's-pier to accommodate
4,325, making altogether 8,125 persons, calculating
that each person will take up .vo feet. Admission to
these platforms will be by ticket. Arrangements are
in progress for Captain Franklin of the Royal Artil-
lery, to fire the royal salute on the wall westward of
the new graving docks. There will also be standing
room on the piers besides.
A correspondent informs us, that in addition to
other manifestations of loyalty and goodwill towards
her Majesty on her approaching visit, the alder-
men, councillors, and electors of Abercromby Ward,
intend dining several hundreds of their poor neigh-
bours in Gill-street Market, which building has
been kindly granted by the markets committee,
with the consent of the whole of the tenants.
As the tickets will be distributed to indigent persons,
male and female, of all creeds and parties, our corre-
spondent hopes that all the more wealthy inhabitants
of the ward will support the committee formed for
the purpose, and also that other wards will follow so
benevolent and loyal an example, and provide for their
respective poor. _

From the London papers we perceive that the royal
yachts Victoria and Albert, and the Fairy, are im-
mediately to prepare for a cruise to Liverpool. It is
supposed both vessels will leave Portsmouth on the
Ist of October, to be ready to receive her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and the Court, on the morning of the
9th. It is expected the Court will embark on board
the Fairy to take a view of the town, the docks, &c.,
from the river Mersey.
