THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL

We regret to learn that no official intimation has yet
been received by the authorities here as to the Royal in-
tentions with reference to the contemplated visit to this
town in October, though it seems no longer doubtful that
her Majesty will pass through Liverpool on her way from
Scotland. It is conjectured that her Majesty, with Prince
Albert, the Royal children, and suite, will enter the Mer-
sey on Wednesday, the Bth of October next, in the royal
yacht, should the weather be at all favourable ; should it
un'ortunately prove otherwise, the Queen will travel by
railway, so as to reach Aintree early in the afternoon of
that day. Her Majesty will then proceed direct to Crox-
teth llall, where she is to dine and sleep that night.
Information of the intended honour was conveyed in a
royal autograph letter to the Countess of Sefton, who,
with the Earl, is expected daily at Croxteth from Scotland.
Already preparations, on a scale of magnificence, are in
active progress at the hall, to give a becoming reception
to the royal guests. On the 9th she is expected to visit
Liverpool, and it is said that after inspecting the decks,
St. George's Hall, and other objects, will proceed in the
afternoon by the London and North Western Railway to
Patricroft, the nearest station to Worsley. Our local
authorities are somewhat perplexed as to the royal inten-
tions. The Mayor is in London, on private business, and
no arrangements therefore have yet been made for her
Majesty's reception. Nothing is known either in Lon-
don on the subject, and it is therefore conjectured that
the Queen does not contemplate any public demonstra-
tion. Of course the opening of St. George's Hall this
year is quite out of the question, but we are credibly in-
formed that the assize courts in that splendid building will
he ready for use next spring. Whether her Majesty visits
Liverpool and Manchester or not, it is quite certain that
her visit will occasion magnificent festivities. We may
add, as a most interesting additional fact, that his Grace
the Duke of Wellington will join the royal party during
their visit to this important county, and his intention
naturally recalls to mind his remarkable and melancholy
visit in September, 1830. Abundant opportunity will be
afforded during the ensuing six weeks for making the
most ample preparations for the suitable reception of the
royal party, and to make the demonstrations of loyalty on
the part of our community worthy of the Queen and of
the town of Liverpool.
A local contemporary, in reference to the expected visit
of her Majesty to Liverpool, gives the following interest-
ing summary of the times and occasions on which Liver-
pool has been honoured by the presence of royalty :
King John was in this neighbourhood in the year 1207,
the year before he granted the first charter to the burgesses
of Liverpool. On that occasion he probably bought
the land on which Liverpool stands from Henry Falcona-
rius ; and Toxteth-park from one of the Molyneuxes, of
Sefton, an ancestor of the Earl of Sefton, who is now,
after a lapse of more than 600 years, about to entertain
Queen Victoria.

The next king who visited Liverpool was Edward the
Second. The Castle of Liverpool was one of the nume-
rous castles which he seized, after ho had defeated and
beheaded Thomas Plantagenet, the second Earl of Lan-
caster, near Pontefract.
Lionel, Duke of Clarence, one of the sons of Edward
Third, passed through Liverpool, on his way to Ireland,
the year after one-half the population of England had been
destroyed by the black plague, and obtained from the
Bishop of Lichfield, then the diocesan of South Lanca-
shire, permission for the burgesses of Liverpool to bury
the dead in a new cemetery adjoining St. Nicholas's
Church.

Henry the Second visited his stepfather, the Earl of
Derby, at Knowsley, but there is no record of his having
visited Liverpool, though the town and castle were his
private property.
Prince Rupert, Charles the First's nephew, paid Liver-
pool a very rough visit in 1644, when he stormed it, and
put good part of the garrison and inhabitants to the sword.
His uncle wished to pay another visit of the same kind in
the following year, but was stopped at Chester by Crom-
well's cavalry, who routed the royal troops. and compelled
the unfortunate monarch to fly to North Wales.
Charles the Second. then known as the King of the
Scots, marched through Lancashire. on his way to Wor-
cester, in the year 1651, but found no admission into
Liverpool, which was held by a strong parliamentary
garrison.
William the Third, just raised to the throne by the par-
liament of England, passed through Liverpool on his way
to Ireland. in the year 1689. and reviewed, on Wallasey
Marsh, part of the army which fought at the Battle of the
Boyne. He was accompanied by Prince George of Den-
mark, the husband of the Princess Anne, afterwards
Queen of England.
The young chevalier, Charles Edward, met with a warm
reception at Manchester, in 1745, but did not venture to
show himself before the thoroughly Hanoverian town of
LiveFpool.:

The Duke of Gloucester, a nephew of King George the
Third, resided at St. Domingo-house, Everten. in 1823,

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.
Her Majesty's visit to the manufacturing districts. Is
already being made the subject of most unfeigned rejoi
so far as Manchester and its neighbourhood are concerned'
and, although seven weeks have yet to intervene, no time,
it it is thought, will be lost before preparation is made for
giving a hearty welcome to the royal visitor. Her Me.lert;
accompanied by the Prince Consort and royal suite, 0
reach Worsley-hall on a visit to the Earl of Ellesmere on
the evening of the 9th of October. and on Friday, thelOtls!
is to visit the boroughs of Manchester and Salford. 1121
royal party will arrive at Patricroft by the London and
North-Western Railway, where the present station WiU
be extended so as to cover the Bridgewater Canal, passing
under the line at 30 or 40 yards' distance. A covering
will he thrown over the line so as to convert the static/
into a spacious pavilion, which will be handsomely attend
a
up and decorated for the occasion, under the superintend'
ence of the railway company. From this pavilion 11r,
Majesty and her suite will descend by a temporary flight
of steps, to be erected to the left bank of the Bridgewater
Can?l, where the Earl of Ellesmere will have a bamboo!:
barge in waiting, and by this they will be concered
Worsley. The distance is about two miles. the canal
skirting the lawn in front of the hall, and at the distance
of about 310 yards. The noble earl proposes to erect a
pavilion and landing-stage here again, and a carriage drive
to the hall will be cut across the lawn for the convenience
of the royal party. The Queen and her Royal Conseil
will stay at Worsley during the night, and will be the
guests of the Earl of Ellesmere. On the following morn'
jug Prince Albert will drive to Manchester, for the Par:
pose of viewing some of the leading processes of its various
manufactories, and in the afternoon her Majesty will
Pro-
reed to Manchester, accompanied by the Countess a,

yeomanry cavalry, as far as the entrance to the borough
of Salford. In Salford it is expected that her Majesty fft
visit one of the people's parks—that named after the 1"
Sir Robert Peel—where an address from the authorities
will be presented. Her Majesty will next proceed through
the borough, entering Manchester close under the tower
of the old cathedral church, over the Victoria-bridge On
named in honour of the Queen at its erection, soon after
her accession to the throne). She will then visit the 131'
change, now one of the finest public rooms in the hieFij

On Friday last, about one hundred and fifty of the mer-
chant princes of Liverpool, assembled by the invitation of
Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., on board the ship Eagle,
to partake of a magnificent dejeuner, in celebration of her
being added to their already noble fleet of Australian
traders. We last week entered lengthily into the particu-
lars of the construction of the Eagle, and her peculiar
capabilities for carrying passengers, and no proof of the
excellence of her accommodations—of her ventilation—
light, or comfort, could be more satisfactory than that
experienced by those who were present on Friday.
The banquet, which was in the thorough English style,
was laid out in the 'tween decks; the tables, running
fore and aft, were literally groaning under the weight of
the delicacies so profusely piled upon them. Here, in
what may he termed the steerage of the vessel, there was
light in abundance ; and so complete is the ventilation
that, without killing drafts from side ports, there was a
cool and pure atmosphere that astonished as well as grati-
fied all present. Mr. Samuel Bright, of the firm of the
owners, occupied the head of one table ; at the other was
Mr. Tyndall Bright. The vice-chairs were occupied by
Mr. Shute and Mr. Thorp. After ample justice had been
done to the excellent catering of Mr. Lynn, the chairman
gave the usual loyal toasts, and Mr. Samuel Martin pro-
posed " Success to the noble ship Eagle and the Australian
trade," which was drunk with most vociferous cheering.
and ably replied to by Mr. Samuel Bright, who detailed
the position in which we stand in regard to our trade with
Australia. His address was pertinent and eloquent. The
chairman then gave "The Mercantile Navy and the Com-
mander of the Eagle;" and Captain Boyce, one of the
never-beaten sailors, spun a yarn in reply, as short as it
was pithy. He hoped, as he had a splendid ship and right
rood owners, all emigrants would be advised to sail in the
Eagle, in which vessel he fully anticipated to make the
passage in eighty days. " Our Colonies and Colonial Emi-
-1 oration" was the next toast. It was connected with Capt.
Paty. R.N., who acknowledged the compliment. " The
Town and Trade of Liverpool" was proposed from the
chair, drunk with enthusiasm, and responded to by Mr.
Henry Steel. Mr. Baines, of the Liverpool Times,
replied to the toast of " The Press " in an excellent and
terse address, in which he pointed out that as Liverpool,
from her naturally favourable position and her proximity to
the great manufacturingemporiums, had wrested from Bris-
tol, to which port it was at one time almost exclusively con-
fined, the palm of the trade with America, so she had now
a right to expect and have a fairer share of the trade with
Australia. What Amerca was to this country in the past
century, Australia was rapidly becoming in the present.
The people boasted then of America ,s a new world, but.
we now boasted of a newer, and one which seemed
destined to add incalculably to the commercial greatness
and the territorial grandeur of the British er,pire. Mr.
Baines concluded by proposing the owners of the Eagle line,
Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co.. to which Mr. T. Bright
appropriately responded. "The strangers present,"
" The builders, Messrs. Gilbert," and other toasts, were
given, and drunk with enthusiasm. Some excellent
speeches were given by Mr. Thorpe and others, all
tending to the conclusion that the day is not far distant
when Liverpool will hold a trade with Australia equal to
that she now boasts with America; and we cannot see
why such should not be the fact. Our Australian colonies
are rich in soil and in minerals, and are fully capable of
receiving 50,000 emigrants annually. The climate is
healthy, and the price of passage seemed hitherto the
only barrier to wholesale emigration. It is now, however,
reduced. The cost of a steerage passage from London to
Australia is about £l5 per adult. The average rate at
which government has chartered their ships has been
about £l2 per adult. Some are advertising for " especial
accommodation of respectable persons" at a uniform rate
of £2O. The cost to the Family Colonisation Loan
Society is snout £l2, whilst the Canterbury Association
charge £l6 per adult in the steerage. With ships of a
very superior character, built for the trade, the enter-
prising owners of the Eagle line charge but £lO ; so that
emigration to Australia, where employment is abundant,
is now but a shade in cost over that to the United States,
where interior travelling adds so much to expenses.
