small flags.

chasers of the Liverpool Chronicle on Saturday next.
J. Galt, confectioner, a union jack flag.
Mr. L. T. Gaskell, agent for the Times, had an elegant
white flag with blue borders, and a large one, on which was

dow, had an extremely well-executed full-length image of her
Majesty upon a pedestal, and over it the union jack of Eng-
land.

and between them two others : on one of these was inscribed,
"V. A., the Queen and the Prince ;" and on the other,
" A. V., the Prince and the Queen ;" above these were two
other flags. In the evening a transparency was introduced

Mr. E. Smith, Leghorn hat warehouse, had two flags above

the Queen ;" and on the other, " Long live the Prince."

window above his shop.

Majesty, upon a pedestal, beneath a crimson canopy.

land.

Majesty and Prince Albert, and underneath a large national
banner.

dise-street a large banner inscribed " V. R., the Queen, God

Mr. Richard Taylor, ditto.
From the roof of the Liver Theatre there was a con-

tinuous firing from small arms during the day.
Mr. W. B. Promoli. This splendid and extensive esta-
blishment had by far the largest and most brilliant illumina-
tion in the town. It was designed with great taste, and the
execution of it reflects credit on the skill of Mr. Promoli, on
whose premises, and by whose workmen, the whole was exe-
cuted. Extending along the whole range there were the let-
ters V. and A., with a magnificent crown in the centre, and
a large star on each side. Some idea may be formed of the
magnitude and brilliancy of this design, when illuminated,
when we state that the two letters were between 6 and 7 feet
high, and the crown and stars of corresponding dimensions.
Mr. Langshaw's Conservative News-room displayed the
banner of the Liverpool Trademen's Conservative Associa-
tion, the flag of Castle-street Ward, a very handsome silk
flag, and several small banners. There were also two beau-
tiful, striking transparent likenesses of our Gracious Majesty
and of Prince Albert in the front windows. The rooms were
brilliantly illuminated. The whole had a very striking effect,
and reflects much credit on Mr. Lan Shaw.

COLQUITT-STREET.

„ - -
The Royal Institution on this occasion was generously
,brown open for the inspection of the public, gratis. The
street was continually crowded with eager visitants, but the
greatest order and decorum prevailed. Many thousands
availed themselves of this liberality, and it is only just to say
that we did not hear of the slightest damage having been

done by them. We were unable to learn, at the period of
our going to press, the exact numbers who visited the insti-
tution.

GREAT GEORGE-STREET.
The Templar's Hall was ornamented with a large union
flag waving from the roof.

A very handsome British flag was hoisted at the timber-
yard of Messrs. Cooban, the staff surmounted by a long
white pendant.
At Lewers' millinery warehouse was displayed a neat flag,
made of blond net, with a Maltese cross in silk in the centre.
This had a good effect, though of very pervious materials.
DUKE-STREET.
A fine British flag was displayed, top-mast high, at the
stone-yard Opposite Colquitt-street ; also a considerable
number of smaller flags.
RANE GH - STREET.
At Mr. Jagger's, innkeeper, a large emblematic flag, with
a figure of Britannia, Shipping, &c., and the inscription—
" Europe protected by Britannia from the Demons of Dis-
cord.'? Many other handsome .flags were. exhibited In this
street; and from the Adelphi Hotel and other buildings in
Ranelagh-place. Mr. Stott, from his lace establishment,
distributed a considerable quantity of ribbons and artificial
flowers, which were eagerly and thankfully appropriated by
the throng.

DALE-STREET.
Numerous flags, banners, and other similar decorations,
were exhibited from the principal hotels and shops in this
street.

BYROM-STREET.

border, in the midst of which was a crown.

UNION-STREET.
Mr. George Wright, (one of the council,) a large and deli•
cate flag suspended by wreaths of flowers across the street.
Near the top was a crown, and in one compartment at one
side of it, the motto, round the crown, " Rejoice for your
Queen and her Church," on a crimson silk ground ; in ano-
ther, on the opposite side, round the Liverpool arms, " Ships,
Colonies, and Commerce," and The Pride of the World."
This flag had a very splendid appearance.
It would be impossible within our limits to describe all the
flags that were displayed throughout other parts of the town.
Suffice it therefore to say, with reference to those not
enumerated, that they were of all possible colours and de-
scriptions. The British flag, in the various forms of the
Standard, the Ensign, and the Union Jack, predominated
—many of them of silk : numerous flags of societies, and
others with coats of arms, were also displayed, and the
whole, with the emblematical decorations, evinced a general
feeling in favour of the union of our Sovereign with the
prince of her choice.
THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.

Overtopping the Custom House, at either end, was a large
British Ensign, the one on a red and the other on a blue
ground. The day was here, as at all the public offices, ob-
served as a holiday.
