The London and North-Western Railway Company
placed a special train, free of charge to the foreign visi-
tors, at the disposal of the invited guests, the Royal
Commissioners and other English gentlemen paying ex-
cursion fares.; but it was stated that even the fares of the
foreign visitors Mr. Brown had himself agreed to defray.
At ten o'clock a numerous company assembed on the
Landing. stage at St. George's Pier, where a steamer, spe-
cially engaged for the occasion, received the guests for an
excursion on the Mersey. After some little delay the
company were taken on board the America, Captain Neil
Shannon, British and North American royal mail steamer,
which had lust before left her moorings to proceed on her
outward voyage to New York. Here they were received
with the utmost cordiality by Charles M'lver, Esq., the
agent for the British line of mails, assisted byMr. Fowler,
the respected manager of that house. After minutely
inspecting the transhipment of the mails from the Satellite
tender to the America, the distinguished company returned
on board their excursion boat, when a parting salute was
fired from the America, and she stood out gallantly to sea.
The commissioners were next conducted to Birkenhead
and Woodside, and had an opportunity of viewing the
evolutions of many of the splendid yachts engaged in the
race of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club.
The wind' blew almost a gale, yet the weather overhead
was remarkably fine, and nothing could exceed the de-
lightful trip that this excursion afforded.

After going on board the Atlantic, and inspecting her
truly magnificent accommodations,—a floating palace, in
every sense of the word,—the company returned to Liver-
pool at two o'clock for a respite previous to the banquet,
appointed for five p.m.
The following distinguished individuals were among the
guests present :—The Earl Granville, Sir James Anderson,
J. Locke, Esq , M.P., the Mayors of Liverpool, Man-
chester, Warrington, Bolton, and Salford ' • the Rev. E.
Hull, Messrs. J. C. B. Davis (charge d'affa ires, United
States), W. Rathbone, sen. and jun., William Jackson,
T. B. Horsfall, George A. Brown, J. Grantham, J. Rip-
ley, C. M'lver, William Nicol, Alex. M'Gregor, Thomas
