DISTRIBUTION OF TICKETS

Mr. BIGHAM complained that only 400 tickets, five to
each member, had been appropriated to the Council by
the Dock Sub-committee, thus reserving 1300 in their
own hands.—Mr. TURNER, chairman of the Dock Com-
mittee, entered into an explanation, which appeared to
be satisfactory to the Council, and the subject dropped.

The Council then adjourned, but will meet on each
Wednesday until the time of the Royal visit.

THE MARINE EXCURSION

At the Dock Committee, on Thursday, the following
regulations were submitted by the special sub-committee
appointed to frame regulations relative to her Majesty's
marine excursion. The code was adopted

The trustees of the Liverpool docks do hereby give notice,
that in order to give facility to the greatest number of the in-
habitants In view from on board steamers on the river the ex-
cursion of her Majesty the Queen, and to prevent, as much as
passible, confusion, irregularity, or coliision, it is hereby en-
joined and directed that all owners, masters of steamers and
other vessels in the River Mersey, do cmform themselves to
the following regulations, viz.:—
First, that a line of steamers be anchored at a distance of
200 yards from the river wall, and 150 yards from each other,
to extend from Dingle Point to Bootle Bay, and to burn coke
instead of coal ; one row-boat to be attached to each steamer
by a tow-rope, to be available in case of accident, but on no ac-
count to be used in conveying passengers to and from steamers.
That the masters of steamers so anchored be req rested to
assist the authorities in preventing all boats from passing be-
tween them and the river wall during the time the Queen will
be on the river, which will be between the hours of ten, a.m.,
and one, p.m.
No boats or vessels will be allowed during the time stated to
lay alongside the steamers (except the row-boat above men-
tioned) forming the line.
No boats or vessels will be allowed to lay alongside the piers
or river wall from Dingle Point to the north end of the new
dock-wall north. _ _ _ . _

No boats or vessels will be allowed to lay inside the Landing
Stage, nor between the river walls and the line of steamers.
Pilot-boats and gentlemen's yachts to be anchored in the
vacant space between the steamers.
The owners and masters of steam-vessels who are willing to
form the line are requested to send their names to the com-
mittee at this (the Dock Secretary's) office, not later than Sa-
turday, the 4th of October next.
All steamers that do not form the above-named cordon of

A conversation next ensued as to whether ladies were
to be admitted on gentlemen's tickets ; and it was proposed
by Mr. STEELE that there should be no distinction.
An amendment was moved by Mr. LITTLEDALE, and
seconded by Mr. BOLD, to the effect that three ladies be
permitted to accompany each gentleman.
The amendment was carried by a majority of 10 to 6.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.

In Manchester there is likely to be a pretty general illu-
mination. The Town Council have decided, by twenty-
three to nineteen, in favour of having robes. It is
-said that the mayor's robe is to be of scarlet, trimmed
with ermine; the aldermen's of scarlet, with fur; and the
councillors' robes to be black, without trimming. Ten-
ders have been received for the erection of a platform to
accommodate seventy thousand school children in Peel-
park. The Queen will take her departure from Warsley
early on the morning of the ]oth ; will pass through
Irlarns-o'-th' -Height, Pendleton, and Salford, and will
enter Manchester by the Victoria-bridge. Her Majesty
will pass over the Victoria-bridge, and along Victoria-
street, Market-street, High-street, Shudehill , Swan- street,
Oldham-street, Piccadilly, Portland-street, Parker-street,
George-street, Mosley-street, St. Peter's-square, Peter-
street, Deansgate, King-street, Cross-street, St. Ann-
street, St. Ann's-square, and Exchange-street, and will
alight at the Exchange by an entrance in Market-street.
From the Exchange her Majesty will return through Ex-
change-street, St. Ann's-square, St. Ann-street, Deans-
gate, and Bridge-street, over Albert-bridge into Salford.
No parties whatever will be allowed to join the royal cor-
tege, either in carriages, upon horseback, or on foot. The
day will be observed as a general holiday.
