/, LIVERPOOL, Nov. IA, 1873.
This day has Witnessed the arrival and
departure Of the Marquis of Lorne, Cover
ner General of the Dominion Of Canada
The viceregal party, consisting Of the Mar
uuis and Marchioness Of Lorne princess
Louise), the Duke of Connaught and Prince
leopold. and their suites, left st. Pancras
Station about midnight, and, as the two
special cars were attached to the usual
aight express. stops were made at Rugby,
Trent and Stockport. The night was quite
tool and the comfort Of the American palace
:ars, heated throughout as they were, must
have been in pleasing contrast to the first
slass carriages of the English pattern. which
we're cold and poorly lighted. The nights
ride passed without incident, and the train
dashed out of the long tunnel which under
mines the entire eastern part of Liverpool
into the early morning dampnass Of that
;ity. The journey ended at six o'clock in
he Central station, which, as its name i'm
plies, is in the heart Of the city.
NOT TOO EARLY FOR HOMAGE.
Although the hour was early, the good
people of Liverpool were not to be done cut
Of an opportunity to show their loyalty to-
ward the Royal family. Three Of the
queens children visiting the great seaport
1t ono time was so unusual an event
: that great crowd had gathered,s despite
the mistiness of the air, to witness the
arrival. The party alighted without core
,mony. and, entering carriages in waiting,
! was driven up the hill to the Adelphi Hotel,
in front of which large crowd of ladies
md gentlemen had assembled. Hats
we're raised and lusty cheers were
given. The Marquis and the Princess
Louise, the Duke of Connaughts and
Prince Leopold alighted from the
6rst carriage and the suite followed in the
order of precedence. Rooms had been en-
gagged in advance ana the guests al once
vanished from public gaze. Breakfast was
served at eight o'clock. the four illustrious
travellers occupying one room, and the tep
members of their suites another adjoining.
GOING TO THE TOWN HALL.
The municipality of Liverpool was un-
willing that the Governor General of Can
ada should leave for his new home without
some expressions of good will. Areception
having been arranged several weeks
ago. the elite Of this city have
anxiously looked forward to the hour
in which they should be brought face
10 face with royalty. Long before the hour
appointed, therefore. private carriages
brought the privileged few who had been
fortunate enough to obtain cards to the
Town Hall, and before ten o'clock the main
saloon and all the corridors leading to
it were packed with ladies and gen.
tlemen. At ten the Marquis and
his party left the Adelphi Hotel
snd drove to the Town Hall, attended
by military escort. They were received
with cheers along the route, and all who
had not risen early enough to witness the
arrival made sure of getting glimpse of
the royal party at more seasonable hour
Squads OF troopers were stationed at con-
venient points between the hotel and the
Town Hall, but this precaution seemed to
be wholly unnecessary, for the multitude
was in the best of humor.
RECEIVED Br THE MAYOR.
The carriages containing the Marquis,
his party and suite drew up in front of
the Town Hall at quarter after ten. Al
though surrounded by many of the finest
business cdifces Of Liverpool, and shorn
be viewed as whole from any one point,
the Town Hall is choice specimen
of that charming Grmco-Gothic school
founded by the Rafaelle Of architecture,
Andrea Palladio. The compact, symmetrical
structure is surmounted by a hemispherical
dome, supporting statue of Britannia The
Mayor Of Liverpool, Mr.. Royden, received
the royal party at the entrance to the maii
corridor and conducted them to the grand
saloon. Here were already assembled the
City Councillors and other county and city
dignitaries, the representative shipowners
and commercial and professional men Of
