of 2i guns, from the Workhouse and Prince's Pier. At ten

magistrates of the borouoli and county, freemasons, the Mayor
and town-council (with the regalia,) the clergy, gentlemen,
horsemen, various societies, &c. &c. will form, six abreast, in
Dale-street, and every care has been taken to prevent contusion
in so doing. The procession will then march up Dale-street,
round Nelson's Monument, along Excange-street West, Castle-

which the procession will disperse. Steam heats will wait at
the pier heads to take such as wish to make use of them and
are possessed of. tickets, and in the evening fireworks will be
exhibited at half-past nine o'clock; at the Rector's Fields,
Falkner-street, and at the North Walk, beyond Clareqce Dock.

backward Pi coming forward" with the supplies.
CORONATION FESTIVAL AT Wooosink.--Whilst Liverpool
has. been bestirring herself and making preparations for the
forthcoming festival, her compirativeiy pigmy neighbours have
not been idle. It is announced, that at Wlonside, on Wednei-
day. in preparation for the following day, a fat bullock ant a
fat sheep will be roasted whole, a cooking apparatus having
been erected for the purpose. The cooking -process is to com-

up and distributed amongst the poor. There will be u grand
procession, in which the children of the various schools will join,
And in the evening there will be a display of fire-works,-

BfKKENHEAD.—Birkenhead is not much behind her near
neighbour, Woodside, in preparations for a grand demonstra
Lion of loyal feeling. We hear that all is bustle and preparation
there, though the precise course to be followed is not vet an-
nounced. There is talk of a procession and other attractioneto
rival those of Woodside.

• Rocx PERRY.--:The spirited managers of this delightful ferry,
Appear determined to take the lead in the rejoicings on Thurs-
day, over the water. What with the artillery stationed there,
the regatta,- the fire-works, and the dance- in the evening, this
ferry will be the centre of attraction. The company have
announced, that for the accommodation of visitors, boats will
ply every 15 minutes throughout the (lay, from George's Pier,
and regularly from the Potteries opposite.
ST. PETER'S WARD.—lnstead of there being any truth in the
Chrimicle. of Saturday, commencing "The Tory Bigots of St.
Peter's Ward," the conservative assessor had been requested
by the committee to call upon, and on Wednesday last, did call
upon the alderman, one of the councillors, and the chairman of
the reforiwassociation, and offered to issue a joint address with
the other authorities, requesting the inhabitants to meet, and
walk in procession, and, also tendered the flag of the conserva-
tives of -St. Peter's Ward, to be carried at the expense of the
cOnsefvetives.. It was only yesterday (Monday,) that his pro-
posatv(,is agreed to, and the inhabitants were yesterday called
upon by' a printed address, to meet in Waterloo-place.

BAZAAR ON BEHALF OF THE WESLEYAN DAY AND SUNDAY
SCHOOLS.—The fancy sales for the benefit of these Institutions,
were to have closed on Thursday last, but owing to the large
quantity of stock left on hand, it was deemed advisable to con-
tinue the sales until last night: and should the liberality of the

public equal that of the three preceding days, it will prove one
of the most successful bazaars ever held in Liverpool. The
attendance has been
,both numerous and respectable, and the
indefatigable labours of ladies in preparing the work, has only,
been exceeded by the generosity of the gentlemen in pur-
chasing it. The influence derived from rank and high standing
in society, is never appreciated more than when it is exerted in
the cause of charity and usefulness; and Lady Sandon's
liberal contribution of drawings and work for the bazaar, has
been a source of both attraction and profit. The contiibution
consisted of two sketches by
,her ladyship; four by Lady
Charlotte Denison, (two of which were sold while unpacking,
and afterwards resold by consent of the purchaser, for a higher
price.;) nue large lace pelerine, three of smaller size, and a
beautiful embroidered bag, &c. The eagerness of visitors to
view these elegaht presents, evinced the high value set upon
them.

REGATTA.—The handsome prizes to be contended for at the
Regatta, may be seen in the window of Mess's. Wilkinson and
Cartinel's establishment, Lord-street. The cups are exceed-
inz,ly handsome. The glass vase is particularly unique and
classical.

luF. WouxtiousE.—At six o'clock on Thursday morning a
royal salute will be fired before the Workhouse, from the four
brass six pounder field pieces formerly presented by the paHsh
to the " Royal Liverpool Volunteer Association," Colonel
Commandant Pudsey Dawson, and after Wards given up to the
parish at the disbanding of 'that body. At half-past eleven the
poor will be regaled with a substantial dinner of roast beef and
ale in the Rail. On the arrival of the procession opposite the
house, a second salute will be fired. At nine o'clock in the
evening a third royal salute will be fired, terminated with a
display of fire works, (presented to the House) visitors, (ad
milted by ticket only,) will be accommodated in the surround

log galleries. -
THE GRAND BALL AND MASQUERADE AT THE AMPHI-
THEATRE.—Our readers will perceive front an advertisement 1
in anotler column, that on Thu,sday evening a grand corona-
tion ball will take place at the Amphitheatre, under the super-
intendence of Mr. Bates, who has spared no expense or trouble
in the general arrangements and decorations for the occasion.
Parties may attend either in fancy dresses, or in plain dresses
with masks. The refreshments will be provided by Mr. Law-
ton, the worthy host of the Rainbow Hotel, whose .viands and
wines will, we have. no dOubt, be found worthy of the high cha-
racter which he has already obtained.
THE CORONATION REGATTA PRIZE Cups.—The prize cups
offered for competition at the approaching Royal Rock- Ferry
Coronation Regatta were exhibited, on Saturday, in the- window
of Messrs. Wilkinson and Cartmell's shop, in Lord-street.
They are. exceedingly beautiful and valuable. The first prize
is- the Coronation Cup, a very elegant piece of plate, value
£25. The second and third prizes are exceedingly. beautiful
silver wine-cups, of tasteful and classical design. These- three
cups have been manufactured by Mr. Dismoie, of Bold-street,
to whose talents the design and execution do great credit. The
Mersey Cup, value £l5, has been produced by Mr. Richard
Doke, of Lord-street. It is a sliver cup with cover, chastely
and appropriately ornamented. A very handsome cup, of
tasteful design, has been supplied by Messrs. Barned and Co.
It is called the Victoria Cup, and, in point of design and work-
manship, is unsurpassed by any of the others ahovementioned.

attractive pieces are announced for the present week. After the
drama, Mademoiselle Celeste 'dances some. of her exceedingly
striking figures, which have won for her so great a reputation
both in the old and new world, as an extraordinary dancer.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The magnificent fire work,
representing Mount Vesuvius in eruption was again exhitited
last night, to a very numerous assemblage of visitors. The
evening was calm, cloudless, and delightful—exactly
fitted for such a scene; and the effect was consequently in-
creased. It is a strikingly splendid spectacle ; and should the
spirited proprietor of the gardens again exhibit it, as we hope
he will, we would advise such of our towns-folk as have not yet
seen it, to profit by the opportunity, and go and witness a
sight inexpressibly imposing and beautiful. We understand
that there will be a grand fete at these gardens on the evening
of the coronation, when most likely the eruption will form a
part of the amusements to be offered.

EXCURSION TO MENAI BRIDGE.—The North Wales Steam

Navigation Company's new. vessel the Dartford made her first
excursion trip on Sunday last, having on .board upwards of
150 passengers. This company seem to evince considera-
ble spit it in their commencement, and we trust that the public
will most liberally and extensively patronize their vessels. We
can confidently recommend the Dartford, for we never retnem-
her having experienced so pleasant a
.trip as that of Sunday
last. The engines of the Dartford are on a new, and aiiparently
most admirable principle, as there is not the slightest unpleasant
sensation or vibration felt when on board. Her fittings-up are
neat, handsome, and exceedingly convenient, and her speed is
first-rate. We cannot but. notice, iu unqualified terms of praise,
the politeness and attention of all parties on board, Captain
Poole and his steward seeming to vie with each other which
should conduce most to the comfort of the passengers, while
the good fare provided b}• the latter, and the moderate charge
for the provisions, not a little enhanced the delights of the
voyage. This company appear to have perfected their arrange-
ments at once, for, when the voyageurs landed on the George's
Pier. we may safely say there was Wit a dissenting voice, or one
person who was not highly gratified in every respect with their
day's excursion.
LIVER THEATRE.—The clever pantomimists, Brown, King,
and Gibson, assisted by Madlle. nosier, Mrs. Gibson, and a
numerous corps de ballet, have opened this theatre for a short
season. The bill for to-uight is very attractive for the admirers
of Ruch entertainments.

TriaColsoN.4TloN.—The'prohrietors of the "Sunday Times"
are generally first in the field on any extraordinary occeasiou,
we perceive that the approaching solemnity will'be recorded
by them at great length, and a view of the interior of the
Abbey will be given to the purchasers of this paper on Sunday
next. If well got up, it wilt be worth having.
To THE INHABITANTS OF THE DISTRICT OF ST. BRIDES.
&C.—lt was stated in our last publication,. in an address headed
as above, that Divine Service would be held, and a sermon
preached by the Rev. J. H. Stewart, at St. Bride's Church,
Percv-street, on the morning of her Majesty's coronation,
Thursday next, the 28th instant, the service to commence at
eleven o'clock, after which it was proposed that a collection
should be made, for distribution among such widows and orphans
as should be recommended by the subscribers to the gentlemen
who have kindly consented to distribute the sums which shall
be contributed. We beg to draw the attention of our readers
thereto, and to inform them that the hour fixed upon for the
commencement of the service is ten o'clock, and not eleven, as
previously intimated.—See advertisement.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION,—Mr. J. Rogers terminated hi
course of lectures on mythology on Saturday evening, when
the vacation commenced. For six weeks, therefore, there will
be nothing done at this noble institution. Dr. Grant will, at
the expiration of that period, commence a course upon the ra-
diated classes' of animals. We may mention here, that a
beautiful clock has just been constructed for the institution, by
Mr.slt. Hess, of South John-street, the machinery of which is
highly curious, and well worthy of inspection.
OPENING DINNER AT THE BRUNSWICK HOTEL.—On Mon
day, about forty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner
provided for them. by Mr. Whiteman, the active and popular
proprietor of the Brunswick-hotel, the object of which was, to
celebrate the opening of that respectable establishment under:
its prsent management. The dinner and wines were excellent;
and reflected credit on the worthy caterer. A number of suit-
able toasts were given, and amongst them ." Success to the
Brunswick-hotel'.' enlisted the warm feelings of the-ciimpany.
A delightful evening was spent by sill present, and the party
broke up at a late hour, delighted with the harmony and fes-
s tiyity. We sincerely hope that the
:undertaking in which
• Mr. Whiteman has embarked will realize his expecta-
tions—for such a result will not prove more beneficial to himself
' than gratifying to his numerous frienrls. • •
SouinyoßT.—During the thimder storm on Monday after-
noon, a man was killed at Mu eh H•eile, near Southport, and
two•cows were sireck with the lightning at liesketh. Mink. • A
boat from Southport. which had put off to sea on a ri.hing ex-
pedition, sunk between Lathan and Black hoot and three men
were drowned. Two of the unfortunate fishermen have left
