From the Liverpool Papers Of June TO- 1890
Mr.. Randolph in Liverpool. the
Directors Of the City Of Dublin Steam racket
Company gratified our new Representative ane
distinguished party Of four hundred Ut the Prln'
c,pal merchants in Liverpool with an aquatic
excursion on the river, on board the britannia
steam packet. The day was favorable, and the
whole was extremely gratifying to all Partles'.
The company's vessel, the Hlbern'a, was also 10
company, and added, by her appearance TO the
general effect Among those present we ooserv:
ed Mr.. Randolph. the distinguished American
senator. whose urbanity and kind feelings to-
wards England were manifested on many occa.
sions throughout the day
After the companv had partaken of the refresh.
ments, Mr.. Williams, in an appropriate manner
proposed the health Of our representative, Mr.
Huskisson.
Mr.. Huskisson returned his thanks in very
feeling and impressive manner, and assured the
gentlemen present, that in furthering the inter.
ests of Liverpool he should have the double graft.
ficaton of doing his duty both 10 his constituents
and to his country. Mr.. II. rose again to pro.
bose the health Of Mr.. Randolph, one OF the Sc.
majors Of sisier kingdom, whose interest and
prosperity. he trusted. would be always found to
consist in an union Of friendship and commercial
intercourse.
Mr.. Randolph, in an extremely happy manner,
paid several compliments to this country. He
said America had derived many Of her best insti.
tutons from Great Britain: she had initiated her
in obtaining the trial by jurv,-relisions and civil
liberty,-the Habeas Corpus act-and the power
Of expressing their opinion by their representa-
tivps: aud he trusted, in allusion to the custom
of giving expression to the feelings on such occa'
| sions, that she might be allowed to initiate her in
her minor virtue and graccs. Mr.. Randolph, in
handsome terms. proposed the health OF the dis.
tiueuished nobleman at the head of the British
Government, whose title was taken from the
place where thew were-the Earl of Liverpool.
At half pas, Ie o'clock, the Britannia dropped
anchor opposite the Princes Parade, and the
company prepared to land. Mr.. Randolph still
renamed on the quarter deck, surrounded BY a
large crowd Of gentlemen, whom he greatly anu.
sed BY his eccentric, yet instructive and original
conversations. He seemed like an ancient Gre
clan sage surrounded by his scholars. No soun-
er had Mr.. Randolph Quilted the Britannia and
got on board one of the river stea ners, that he
was again quickly surrounded by curious group.
| A gentleman on board the Britannia then propo-
sed three cheers for Mr. Randolph, which were
given with great enthusiasm. The honorable,
gentleman, taking off his hat excl lined. with
great animation "Gentlemen, Old England
and Young America united for ever! Who shall
divide tbem?" Loud cheers followed this piIhy
speech, and the band on board struck up " Yam.
