LIVERPOOL, Sept. 27, 1867.
MR EDIron lin letter which ap
pearcd in your columns few weeks ago,
promised to give your readers some ac
count of few of the many objects of in.
tercss in this city. You are aware that
liverpool Is the great fca port of Eng
land, very appropriately called tie Queen
of the Mersey." 1t is supposed to have
derived its name from bird called the
Liver. which is said to have frequcntcd
the marsh formerly occupying the site of
the lower portion of the town, and the
corporate seal now bears the representa-
ton Of biri resembling the almost ex
,incs species Of the glossy tits
The commerce. of this city is immense.
# is es,iinnated that not less than 100
vessels, on the averoge. leave this port
daily, for all parts Of the world. 1t has
long been the great cotton market Of the
world and his will accoilnt for it's strong
sympathy With the cotton interests Of our
own country during the late war, which
manifested itself in furnishing large sup
plies, and fitting nut numerous blockadc
runners. in aud of The Confe1erates. In
1860. the year before the cotton famine
commenced, the number Of bales (weigh-
ing 400 lbs e.ch) imported into Liver
pool was 100000.
The city is located on the north side Of
the Mersey river. which at this point is
three fourths Of mile wide. Nothing
indicates more clearly the commercial ac-
tivity aud enterprise Of Liverpool than its
docks. These are rendered necessary by
Tie great height Of the tide. which at this
point rises alSo;dt es feet. Viewed from
the middle Of the river, a! low tide they
present an immense granite WALL of the
most perfect masonry. near 80 feet in
height. extending five miles along the
waters edge With open spaces (eight in
the whole lenglh) sufficiently wide TO
admit from Que to hrec vessels. Within
each Of these openings is large basin.
capable Of receiving dozen vessels. AS
this basin is open to the river, at low tide
il is quite empty. lnto each of these re-
peption hasins. or harbors. open from four
to six locks like those on cunal. by
which vessels are introduced into the
docks. These docks vary much ip extent.
some heing much larger tEah the basiu
into which they open. AS they are all
sshaYse from each other. auJ one of them
can easily be converted into dry dock
for the inspection Or repair Of vessels and
some are epeclally built for this purpose
BY this srrarkement the shipping 10 ren-
