Sculptured sugar hogsheads and cotton bags are objecti-

of any of our fellow-townsmen. Something appertaining to
law and the lawyers should be hit upon. For instance,
we might adopt Coleridge's i icture of " a lawyer killing a
viper in his s'able," which would, by the unima: inative,

be regarded in its natural sense, whilst it might put the
wicked portion of the world in mind of " Cain and his
brother Abel."

PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL

SIR,^I trust yru will insert the following, through

The cotton brokers, together with many others, having
announced that the two day's visit of Prince Albert to
Liverpool will be observed as holidays by them, it is to
be hoped the corn merchants will not evince less dis-
position to show their loyalty, by acting similarly ; and I
would suggest that the committee of the Corn ExcLange
call a meeting of the members, to take the matter into
consideration, and have no doubt that they will readily
agree to such an arrangement.

Yours very respectfully,

ANNUAL SUR

VEY OF THE PILOTS'

COMNIITTEL

Tuesday being the day appointed for the Pilots' Com-
mittee to survey the outward channels, and the condition
and working of the pilot-boats not employed outside, a

considerable number of the members of the committee,
and many of their invited friends, embarked in the steam-
tug No, 1, (the Dreadnought, Captain G'llespie,) at nine
o'clock, at the south end of the Prince's Pier.
There were on board a number of influential gentlemen
connected with the shipping of the port, including the
leading members of the pilots' committee.
The steamer left the pier shortly after nine o'clock, and
proceeded up tie river, to beyond the Albert Warehouses,
several of the pilot-boats showing themselves around her.
After making two or three runs opposite the town, to
collect and instruct " the fleet" of pilot-boats, which at
last numbered seen, and appeared with their flags and
ensigns in beautiful array, the whole started off down the
river, the pilot-boats having to beat, the wind being brisk
from the N.W.
The boats (for it was a cont.st for speed) started n
- - -

together. Ko. 7 took the lead, and maintained it—a fine
boat built by Mr. P. Cato. At the Northwest Lightship,
No. 7 was first ; No. 4, second ; No. 10, third ; No. 12,
fourth, and the remainder not far astern.
The steamer, wnich could scarcely head them, got into
Hilbre swash, close to the island, about twc o'clock. The
pilot-boats came in in the order ►n which we have stated,
and anchored near to her. A substantial lunch had been

Partaken of by the parties on noara or tine steamer anout
eleven o'clo, k. and now, when she was riding safely at
anchor, they sat down to a splendid dinner on the quarter-
deck. John N. Wood, Esq , presided.
The entertainment was enlivened with songs, glees, and
a brass band of music from pilot•boat No. 4.
On starting homeward at a quarter past six, boat No. 4
had the advantage, but she was soon overtaken by boat
No. 7, which was the last in starting.
No. 7 pilot-boat arrived opposite the pier at twenty-two
minutes past eight; No. 4 about half-a-mile astern of her;
and the others soon after in succession.
The remainder of the company on board the steamer
were landed at George's Pier, highly delighted with the ,
excursion.
