union jack flying.

Majesty, upon a pedestal, beneath a crimson canopy.

land.

scribed, " God save the Queen."

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

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

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. Langshaw.

greatest order and decorum prevailed. is thousands
availed themselves of this liberality, and it s only just to say

tution.
