THE ROUTE TO THE ALBERT DOCK.
The stay of the Prince at the Town-hall was not of long

drove to the pierhead. On leaving the Town-
royal carriage and suite proceeded down Water-street,
along George's deck, passing the Old Church, (the bells
of which on his arrival there gave several loud peals.) and
crossed the south gate of the Prince's dock to the Egre-
mont slip, where the Royal Yacht Fairy was stationed.
Along the whole line of road he was enthusiastically
cheered, and in those parts of the route which allowed
large masses of persons to congregate, the applause was

" tars," who were evidently ready awl willing to do
honour to the royal visitant, and no sooner did they catch
a glimpse of him, than one vast peal of acclamation sud-
denly succeeded. We must not forget to mention the
beautiful and gay manner in which the ship Georgina,
lying in the Prince's Dock gut, was dressed. Every mast

and spar were crammed with the protectors of our com-
merce," all neatly attired. On his Royal Highness em-
barking on board the Fairy, be was presented by the
Mayor with a beautifully-embossed red morocco bound
Guide to Liverpool and Plan of the Docks. Throughout
the route, the Priuce appeared deeply sensible of the ho-
nour done him, and, at intervals, graciously moved to the
company who thronged on each side of the road.
The scene on the Mersey was strikingly animated, and
characteristic of the place. The broad bosom of that
noble river was covered with craft of all sizes and shapes
of nautical beauty, from the magnificent New York steam-
ship towering like a giant over the various craft around.
to the light and airy yacht playing about in the breeze.
Alt the many forms of nautical rejoicing, the gay flags
and pendants with which sailors love to decorate their
ships, dazzled the eye with their variegated colours from
one end of this grand estuary to the other. And boats
full of gaily dressed spectators, and steamers crowded to
the very pinnacle of their available standing room, helped
to fill up the intervals of that floating pageant. The op-
posite shores of Cheshire, too, were brilliant with every
mark of gaiety and rejoicing, and a fringe of snowy can-
vass seen bright in the distance lined the margin there.

Those magnificent docks and quays which are so justly the
pride of Liverpool, swarmed with dense masses of spec-
tators, clustering on every height, and even climbing
