The New York herald., 1878-11-14


many American hags are displayed along
the route from the hotel to the Princes
Wharf The Adelphi is being transformed
by flowers into conservatory. A meteoric
shower is promised tonight, and is popu-
larly supposed by the good people of Liver
pool to be in honor of the occasion.
ON BOARD THE sARMATIAN.
During the day great numbers visited the
Sarmatian, which is lying high up the river.
Tugs were busy all day carrying the i'm
mense baggage of the party and their suite
to the steamer. The Sarmatian presents
fine appearance. Her thoroughly ship
shaped decks are clear and her cabin is
tastefully decorated with flowers. The
most noticeable Of the arrangements for the
accommodation of the distinguished passen-
gers is the introduction Of Thompson's
patent selflevelling berths, which are
placed in double cabins for the Princess
Louise and Lady MacNamara. The Mar
quis, however, being tolerably good
sailor, prefers the usual large stateroom to
the patent levelling berth. The invention
has yet to pass the ordeal Of the Princess
voyage, though the inventor, who is an
American, is assured Of its success. He
claims that the pitching, rolling and sink
ing action of the ship is counteracted COM
pletely. They look like ordinary beds
placed in the centre Of double cabins. The
canopy of the Princess berth is of green
silk, with silver ornaments, while that of
Lady MacNamara is red.
AFRAID OF THE 1RoN-cLADs.
These berths were originally placed on
the iron-clad Northampton, and the entire
ship was made in the highest degree COM
Portable and homelike, but the authorities
finally thought it was too risky to send the
royal party across the ocean on an untried
iron-clad, these vessels having an unpleas-
ant way of foundering, SO the Messrs Allan
were negotiated with, and passage secured
for the entire party and suite, including
baggage, for the payment of $4,000. Be-
sides, it wassthought advisable to intrust
the royal party to captain experienced in
the navigation Of the Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia coasts, rather than to cap
tain of the royal navy.
GUARDING AGAINST AccrpENrs.
The line Of the procession tomorrow is
being rallied off tonight SO as to prevent a
crush, as an immense crowd will undoubt-
edly be present, and the greatest care will
be necessary to prevent accidents. The
whole police force will be out and every
possible precaution will be taken to pre-
serve order.
FEELING AMONG CANADIANS.
The London World states that ballots
were taken on board the Canadian steamers
bound for Liverpool with view to ascer-
tain whether the selection of tho Marquis of
Lorne as Governor General of Canada would
be agreeable to Canadian feeling, and that
the ballots were against the Marquis. The
feeling in England and among the Canadi-
ans living in England is exactlyth reverse.
Canada now runs her own politics, the home
government settling international questions,
and Canadian and British imperial policy
do not clash. The Governor General and
his lady have principally the duty Of lead
ing the social and artistic development of
the Dominion, and for this task both are
eminenty fitted by nature, culture, train
ing and works already accomplished.
AN ADDRESS FROM LoNDosDEnnY.
On leaving the Mersey the Sarmatian will
cross the Channel, sailing around the north
ern coast of Ireland and will touch at Mo-
Vile, on the western side Of Lough Foyle.
At this point the Mayor and Corporation of
Londonderry will be in waiting and will
present an address to the Marquis and his
lady, after which the vessel will sail direct
for Halifax There they will be received by
the Duke OF Edinburgh, who left Gibraltar
on board the Black Prince, for Halifax, on
the 1st inst
