PRINCE ALBERT'S COMING VISIT.

The preparations for the suitable reception of the Royal
Consort of our august Queen :,re still in rapid progress in
various parts of the town, giving note that the doment"
(to use a Lancashire phrase) will be one of na common
magnificence. The Mayor has sent out 390 cards of in-
vitation to the elite of the tovm—clergy, gentry, mer-
chants, &e., including the borough mar strates. and the
whole cf the members of the Council. They are couched
in brief and appropriate language, and conclude with a
request that an early answer will be returne I—the object
being to make a re-issue equal to the neenber who may,
from circumstances, decline, so as to ensure at the civic

feast the Crnlielement stated. The card wAs executed by
Mr. Isaacs, of Castle-street, and is a han,korre specimen
of fbrid engraving. Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo, provides
the entertainment; and the bill of fare, which will be in
French, (we should prefer it in English, so f,rr as the
dishes will permit,) is in progress of being executed on a
large enamelled card, with a rich border. The im-

provements at the Judge's lodgings are also going on,
but the state bed has yet to be broueht from London.
It is stated that Croxteth. hall. which has recently been
repaired and beautified, was offered for the accommoda-
tion of the Prince, by the Earl of Sefton; but that he
preferred the lodgings in St. Anne-street, probably for
convenience on so short a visit, though he will probably
visit the fine old English residence of the noble Earl, in
compliment to him for his hospitable pr ff•r. The truth
is though we abound in " merchant princes," we have
been unused suitably to entertali " royal princes ;" but,
we doubt not the arrangements will nevertheless be'
satisfactory to all parties. There is to be a superb
display of fireworks, on the bight of the grand ban-
quet, at the Zoological Gardens, and full military bands
from the barracks of Manchester and Che-ter. Stubbs's
Harmonic Band, and other local hands, will also be en-
gaged. Galleries will be erected at and round the site of
the Sailors' Home, in Hanover-street,. to. afford to the
distinguished visitors an opportunity of witnessing the
laying of the foundation stwe. It is said that the 5,000
or 6,000 persons to he invited to witness the opening of
the Albert Dock will principally consist of friends and
subscribers to the various public charities... The Prince
will sail round the new dock in his fine Yacht, the Fairy,
and will then land, with his suite, by a splendid stair-case,
which will induct them into the south-east s tact: of ware-
houses, where a dejeune" will b? prepared. Mr. Lynn (who
is in every way qualified as caterer even for a monarch) is
makine every exertion to prepare a banquet that will do
honour to the town and credit to himself. We hear it
stated' that Messrs. Peter Metge and Co. are busy bottling
many hundred dozens of a brew of the finest porter for
the banquet, which many of our " good fat English gen-
tlemen" will probably quaff with as much gout as the su-
perb wines to be produced at the great dinner, for it is
certainly excellent. Designs for the tickets of the Neune
were se; tin to the Dock Committee by all our celebrated
lithographers, and all were considered be lutiful. A choice
was, however, to be made, and that of Geo..T.e Smith and
Co., designed and executed 'by Mr. M'Gahey, wasde-
cidtd on. A large amount of etceteras of preparations
are also going on, but we have not at present room fer
further details.

LIVERPOOL CUSTOMS' Rh VENUE FOR THE
PtST QUARTER.

We are agreeably surprised by heinz able to announce,
that the Cu-toms' Revenue of this port. for the quarter
lust ended, exceeds that of the corresponding quarter of
last year. The following is, in round numbers, a state-
ment of the receipts of the two years :
1845.
April. _ £240,007

£238,663
274,866

April
May ,
June.

279.785
424,704

303,745

Total.. 817,279

Tot-11.. 9-14,196

Total, 1845

Increase on the Quarter.... £127,217
Considering the great depression which has prevailed
during the past month or two. in nearly every branch of
commerce, it is gratifying to find that Liverpool continues
to progress towards the first port in the empire. We
ought to remark, however, that the receipts of the month
of June are swelled this year by the duties just paid upon
foreign grain under the new law. These, we believe, have
amounted to about £120,000. There is therefore an in-
crease, independently of the receipts from this source.
We ought .-.lso to bear in mind, wben con.' astin.: tliA two that considerable sums would be paid in 1844
under the old scale.

RUMOURED REMOVAL OF THE SCHOOL FOR
THE BLIND AND THE CHURCH.

Amongst the on-dill of the day, it is stated in well-
informed quarters, with a degree of confidence amounting
almost to certainty, that the Grant: Junction Railway
Company have, for the intended extension of their works
at the Lime-street Station, conferred with the trustees of
the School for the Blind, in, London-ro of and Flotham-
street, and, by consent, purchased not only the school,
but the church and the enclosed land around it, they (the
company) having purchased the land in Hardman-street,
opposite St. Philip's Church, for a new site for a new
school and church, to be devoted to the same bene-
volent object. Although the pre,zent establishment,
which has been admirably conducted si..ce its corn•
inencement, has long been endeared to the benevolent
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, by many as-
sociations of its utility, through the interesting operations
conducted within its walls, and the number of well-trained
pupils whom it has annually turned out capable of earning
an honourable livelihood, and who would otherwise, with
sightless eyeballs, have wandered the world a burthen to
their friends r.nd others,—there can, we think, be no
question but the present site of the institution has, from the
noisy encroachments in increased railway and other traffic
in the immediate locality become much less appropriate for
the business of tuition. The anticipated change is there?ore
most desirat)le, especially as the intended site is not only a
quieter, but a much more airy pait of the town. Another
consideration of no little importance is that, as the Railway
Company will, no doubt, with their accustomed liberality
iu similar cases, construct the new premises and Church
is a more spacious, commodious, and attractive style, the
institution will be benefitted by this change, which has al-
most become imperative from the rapidly increasing com-
merce and population of the town.

Cleland, master, from Jamaica to Liverpool, struck on
the Alligator Reef, Jamaica, on the 25th of April, and
soon after became a total wreck—the captain aid crew
saved.

KENDAL.—The masons on the railway near Kendal
have struck for an advance of wazes—awkinfr 5-i. 61 per
day ; and the wailers, both on the line and those working
on buildings in the town and neighbourhood, have also
struck for an advance, from 4s. Gd. to ss. per day.
Tuesday, the ,ith August. is fixed on as the chi), for the
public dinner, at Lynn, to Lord George Bentinck. The
Earl of Oxford has consented to pre4te, and it is expected
that the Duke of Richmond, Lord Eglington,
D'lsraeli, and a host of other distinguished persons, will
be present.
The metropolis, on Sunday afternoon, was visited by a
terrific thunder-storm. The electric fluid struck the
Sailors' Home, in Well-street, and dislodged about four
yards of the brick-work, which fell upon an adjoining
house, and broke through the roof and two ceilings, but,
fortunately, without injuring arty one.
2ROTESTANT ANNIVERSARIES.—Thc first of July
passed off peaceably in Ireland. The Orangemen of the
north did not march, but celebrated the anniversary in
their lodge. At a meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
county Monaghan, on Tuesday, •it was resolved there
should be no public demonstration on the approaching
12th July.
