Liverpool.


Last month you had your magnificent Railway
Jubilee, 1t Boston-sn evidence Of the great and
snterprising spirit of the citizens of the United
States. This month, we in Lancashire have had
eur fste-an atteyting witness of devoted atta'h-
msnt to the constitution under which We live, and
appreciation of the many virtues which Victoria
the First is reputed to possess. Already every
trace of the Queens visit both here and in radical
Manchester, has disa ppeared, and men begin to
spesk 10 think and to act they usedto do before
the approach of the royal cortege to the boundaries
ofthis ancient County Pslatine. BY this you will
perceive that quite intoxicated, as it were,
with the presence Of royalty among as
Unfortunately for Liverpool, the day on which
the Q aeen made her bow to the population of this
densely inhabited emporium of commerce, was one
of the most unfa favorsble character, subecting the
vast majority Of curious aud anxious spectators to
something resembling a hydrOpathic operation
causing them TO watch the royal movements in gar
nsnts perfectly saturated with rain, until apprehen
sions and even symptoms, ofrheunatic fever, had
set in. Yes, the Lancashire witches" those
charming creatures, SO often made the theme Of
eloquence in poetry and prose, figured as so many
half drowned araggletails that it would not astO-

ance the announcement that nine tenths of the
a. LADIES' OF Liverpool, and the surrounding local

ranks OF Mrs Dexter, the great apostle OF Bloom

we may mention that IL is making some progress in
Great Britain. Both Manchester and Liverpool

Dexter, who Gexterously manages to make good

boundaries Of ancient Caledonia.

process, unsettle mems minds, and cause the great

long life and prosperity. How his worship of Man

your correspondent cannot tell. Certain it is, that
Manchester outstripped Liverpool in gaudy shew,
and, in the very mid lie Of the hot be of radicasm
evinced desire for the ostentatious pomps and
vaniies Of the olden days Of aristocracy, that will
astonish the future historian. Only think of the
Mayor and Common Council in scarlet and pur pie
robes, lined with ermine, and the former bedecked
with golden chain and collar, and that, too, within
wont to hold forth on Parliamentary aud fnan-
sial reform-and sure We are you will ask, "were
these performers in their sober senses -
But enough; the true patriot and the philan.hro-
p!st turn away from such sycophantic scenes With
disgust. The hypocrisy and Inconsistency Of the
actors show that their career resemble the antics
ef the monkey tribe, and that, like the parrot, their
shouts for political equality-their speeches, and
their letters for universal suffrage, &c, &C., were
merely the sounds Of imitation.
