THE PROCESSION

The procession on the occision will consist of about
6,000 persons, of whom 1,000 will be Freemasons, and
1,000 Oddtellows. The bows of the Blue Coat Hospital
will head the procession. Toe Freemasons will follow.
Then will come the Corporation, and, immediately after,
the Prince, in the stEve-carriage, drawn by six horses from
the Royal Mews. The shipping trades and the Oddtellows
will bring up the rear. Some dissatisfaction. we under-
stand, is felt by the Oddfellows in consequence of being
informed that their number must not exceed 1,000, which
number they have to select from their entire body. all of

recollected, that 1,000 men make a very formidable dis-
play, and that an in:.eruth able procession, without any
variety, would he anything but pleasing to the spectator.
The Duke of Leinster, Gland Master of the Irish Free-
masons, will, it is rap cted, be also prevent. ; and Lord
Combermere, Earl Ellesmere, and Earl Zet land are con.
fidently looked for to head their loyal body the English
Freemasons, who are to make one of the most magnificent
demonstrations ever witnessed in this or any other town.
The following route of the procession was agreed upon
at a meeting of the Committee yesterday, and our readers
may depend on its accuracy, as we publish it on au-
thority :—To start from the Judges' lodgings, arocet d
along St. hone street and the line of streets to Mount-
pleasant; up Mount-pleaatit to Abercromby-square ;
alorg the west side of that square and Bedford-street;
down Falkner-street to Catherine-street; down Sandon-

terrace to Rodney-street; down Leere•street, Bold.
street, Church-street, 141 rd-street, and South John-street,
to the site of the Sailor's Home.
The silver trowel with which his Royal Highness will
bed the foundation stone of the Sailors' Home will be
massive and of elegant design. We have seen at the
estand-hment of Mr. Dismore, who will manufacture it,
a beautiful drawing of the town of Liverpool, with its

noble river, shippir.;

as seen from the Cheshire sid

by our townsman, Mr. John M`Gahey; and from this the
back of the trowel is to be engraved. The buildings.
ships, and other obj eta are finely and minutely delineated ;
and amongst the vessels seen near the Lancashire side the
artist has introduced a beautiful and necessarily miniature
portrait of the royal yacht Fairy, as she will appear when

conveying his Royal El ighness end sui,e along the river
to view the docks, &o. This is reduced from a fine
coloured drawing of the Fairy, taken for the parpo:e, and
which we have also seen at NI r. Li•more's. The Fairy is
a three•masted screw schooner, a regular clipper in ap-
pearance, her i - long and

nuli being .narp, and her masts
having a great rake. She is painted in gunports, and is
otherwise so handsome and unique that she will (With her

PREPARATIONS BY THE YACHT cutTu,
The lioyal Mer•ey Yacht Club purpose to do

much

honour 16 the royal vi,itor as time and circumstances
will permit, and the Dock Committee will, we learn,
afford them every ros,ible encouragement. A display.

river, would be precarious, and the Prince, from the ne.

Should this be accomplished, (and we see nothing to-pre-
vent it,) the sight, conjoined with the presence on the
same expanse of water wilh the Royal Yacht, will preaent
a beautiful appearance, and no doubt add to the gratifica-
tion of the numerous ladies and others who will on ;hat
day throng the extensive galleries, or platforms, erected
on the sou'll and west sides of the dock, who will obtain
an uauterrupted view of the whole fleet.

THE SUGAR DUTIES —We learn from a sure source
that the min st,ri,l Ilan is—first, to irupose immediately
a uniform duty of 235. 4(1. on all foreign sugars of free
labour or slave Isbour origin for three years ; second, after
the lapse of thre,: years the differential duty in favour of
British sugars to be eliminated in the course of three
vests by a regularly decreasing scale. This, with the abo-
liiion of the restrictions on the free use of sugar and mo-
las.sts i I this country, and the equalisation of the duties
on rum and British spirits, will do.—Colonial Gazette.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.-011 Thursday a la-
bourer on the Birmingham and Derby Railway, whilst
crossing the line, was run over by an engine coming up
unexpectedly. The wheels passed over his body, and al-
most severed it in two.—On Friday a child, 22 months
old, whilst straying on the railway at Beeston, near Not-
tingham. was knocked down by a train, which unfortu-
nately killed it. The little thing was the child of a game-
keeper living near the line, and being placed in a chair
by its mother whist she made tea, had strayed away.
