sci has arrived in the Mersey, and ID now ready to
take her place of the Cunard line of steam
ships between this port and America. The Africa

ately ushered into the saloon, where they
ceved by the Duchess, holding her by the
hand, and thanked for their testimony Of respect
and sympathy. One of the visiters introduced
politics, and assured the Duchess of Orleans that
France ardenty desired the return Of the dynasty
of July, and would be happy on the day when the

God, and above all may France desire it, replied
