LIVERPOOL—Tavamy. Fogs o'CLoct.

This town, in consequence of the excitement from Mr. fluskiseon's
death, Is completely out of order. The Duke of Wellington was to
have visited the town this morning, to have inspected various parts of
it in on. He was to have proceeded to the different docks, the
public cemetery, and other public works; to have opened a new and
capacious dock, which was to have ban called the Wellington Dock.
He then proceeded to the Exchange, and after ins the
building, was to have dined with the Mayor and
Early this morning, as soon as it was generally known that the late
unfortunate and reputed Member of this town had breathed his
last, the most uuivocel demonstrations .of respect to departed
worth were given. The shops were all partially closed, and flags were
mounted, half mast bath, on the top of the Exchange and most of the
churches of the town. With respect to the vessels in the docks, the
most extraordinary public testimonials of respect were exhibited. Per-
haps no greater proof of the respect in which he was held can be given
than to say, that those who most opposed his theory of esomerce—
namely, the English merchant seamen—were the tint to do loom to
his memory. They dressed their vessels with their signed legs, hoisted
the Union Jack half mast, and suspended their streaming pennants in
mourning for this fatal occurrence. The foreign vessels wen undo, in
following this example, and it worded the most gratifying
to see the subjects of all nations joining in common ca=elleaellh
other, to do honour to the memory of one who had devoted his life to
the improvement of commerce, and the happiness of mankind. The
vessels were all dressed out In a style of u deep mourning as If a mem.
ber of the Royal Family had been the subject of regret. The 4th Re-
giment of Foot were stationed in Princes Dock to receive the Duke of
Wellington, and to assist in keeping back the mob, as his Grace was
expected to embark on board the Government steamer, the /Etna, on
a short excursion (seven miles) to the New Battery and the
light-house. The cannons were already charged to salute him,
immense crowds of persons were assembled to see him embark I
but it was soon found that there was little bops of the
procession taking place. Very large crowds of people bad as-
sembled in all places at which it was expected that they
would be able to get a sight of his Grace. At about two o'clock,
however, the Duke not having arrived, and the time being appointed
for ten o'clock, the Mayor and High Bailiff waited upon his Grace, and
received a written letter to the Corporation (who bad invited his Grace
to dinner whit them to.night), stating that in consequence of the cala-
mitous accident of yesterday, his Grace must decline for the present
any public ceremony. This was the more regretted, as the Corporation
had determined to present to the Duke the freedom of the town, and had
prepared a massive and splendid gold box, in which to present It.
This answer to the invitation 0 the Mayor of course heightened the
feeling of disappointed regret that had been before manifested, and
groups of people might be seen in every street, explaining the way in
which the accident happened, and all of them regretting it in the east
respectful terms. The Mayor's dinner was immediately countermanded,
and the dinner of the merchants on Wednesday was also expected to be
postponed, as the Duke, who was to have dined with them, it was ru-
moured, had departed for London.

The following bill has this moment been posted up at the Town-hall:
" Committee-room, Town-ball, Thursday, 12 o'Cloek.

" The Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Common Council
bas this moment received a letter from the Marquis of Salisbury to the
following effect :

" ' The Duke of Wellington expresses his deep regret that the mourn.
ful death of Mr. Huskieson renders it impossible for him to partake of
any of the festivities which the town of Liverpool had in so flattering a
manner proposed on the present occasion.
