The Landing of the Authoress of Uncle
TOMS Cabin in Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL, April IA, 1858.
The other Sabbath morning, while leaving
my hotel, in Liverpool, l heard three distinct,
extra, we'll defined coups de canon, proceeding,
j was informed by James, the waiter, from the
guns Of the steamship Canada. James added
that Misaus Arriett Beechum Sto' was expected
on the steamer, and then there would be ssa

Leaving the hotel, 1 had time, while saunter-

church going citizens, and to listen to the hal

stairs--every body stands on tiptoe on every
body else's toes and all necks are elongated to
look over every body else's hat. Being, as you

buried among pile of mail bags. Attending on
the lady's bonnet was gentleman of strikingly
intellectual aspect, who was, of course, husband
of the lady in the bonnet, although the crowd
insisted that he was Sam Slick, Of Bluenosian
celebrity, who was known to be Mrs Stoves
fellow passenger. In course of time the balance
Of the lady and gentleman was extricated, and
