 We took an early breakfast this morning and left Liverpool Ut half past 2 for Chester and Eaton- HalI, the former, as is known. being one of the only two walled citiesin England, and the latter the splendid man. sion ofthe Marquis of Westminster (form- erIy Earl GFosyono 9who is one of inc weal- thiest Peers fthe Realm We crossed the Merseyto Birkenhead and there took the Railway to. Chester, l6 miles. Chester is Q place of much historical Interest. That por- lion oft enclosed by the wall ishoary with VfS eras of great magnitpde and anti1pity. The city was occupied for a long time by tiie Roman invaders of whom many memorials remain. Its principal business streets have covered porticos, elevated sevcral feet above the pave through which pedestrians pass, and beneath which are shops level with the. street, There is Q canal funningx through the City in some places excnvated forty and evenfifty feet through rock and the river Dee makes a. fine sweep around two sidessof The city,. St Johns Church, supposed to have been erected by Ethelreds in 0eO, isa splendid, but fast cfnnbling ruin. The re- mains 0fits Tower composed of red sand stone, dissolyes into particles as the slight est touch. The Cathrdfah a much moFg extensive structure, and more than ten cen. furies have passed since its erection, is in aF far better slnte of preservation. The dust of unpumbered Mobiles, Abbots, Monks, Priests &cs repose in the tofnhs, the nich- es and the recesses. and beneath the enta- iature of this magnificent edifice. Itschoir displays profusion of ancient carvings, perfectly preserved. High above the choir IS spacious gallery on both sides, extend ing the whole way across tho buildings.

 Leaving the cathedral, we ascended and walked about the city upon It's walls. Ad- joining t, Is the ruin of an ancient Abbey, ln the lower of which, as Q placard appri-
 zcS us, isg now a Museum and Panorama.--
 Farther on, we came to an old battlement,
 connected with the wall. from the top of
 which King Charles tho First stood and saw his army routed and dcstroyed upOn Row. ton Moor in 1645. The remains of the po- .et Parneil, repose here in the cemetery of Trinity Church. '2s x, tss.stgsF sssy
 Having seen the object of the most stri- king interest in Chester, we started for Ea-
 ton Hall. The first demonstration of the
 wealth and munificence of the. Marquis of Westminster that attracts attention Is a stone bridge over the river Dee. the arch of
 which has span of 200 feet. Crossing
 this, we entered upon the broad, beautiful and highly cultivated groundsof this veal thy nObleman. The Porter Lodge, through
 which VIC entered might easily enough
 have been mistaken, for the residence of
 some gentleman of fortune. Afler driving
 mile through the 4 Preserves" woods) we
 came to extensive meadows in which large
 heards of cattle, of tho bcs, breeds ofcourse,
 were grazing. Then came lhe Park, in
 which deer were seen. in all directjOns, ,-
 Several large dgOges of them were seen in
 the dlstance. and soon our scarriage passed within . rod pf some fifteen or twenty. You
 will b6 surprised when tell you thnt the
 number of deere in this park is over 6OO.--
 To the preserves. rabbits were Y as tbick as
 biack kbefries.s Among the deers were Q large humber or fawnss " " VI We were driven Into a spacious Carfiage
