LIVERPOOL, Mar. s. 'sS Monday morn.
ng.-we steamed up the Mersey q little
way yesterday morning, and dropped snchcr
% wait for high tide before going further.
The steamer gave us an early breskfass. at
o'clock, and BY 9 we were ready to go of
% the tender Satellite. that in half an hour
US and our baggage to the
Landing Sfage," which is a floating ar
500 yards long and about 80
yards Fide, With Custom House apartment
and waiting rooms on Il, the hugest thing
Il the kind In the world pefhsps. THIS
lies on ths Merey, sbfesst Of the heart Of
Liverpool and opposite Birkenhead. lr
As we came up through the sharp, foggy
morning air q this 6rtsunday morning in
Old England, we wondered at the miles Of
docks, where ships Of all the world lie
discbarging or taking in cargo.
Fancy miles of stonewall on a rivers bank,
20 feet high, the huge blocks cut smoothly
and laid like house wall, with approPri-
ate openings all along to let the ships in.
Once within this outer wall, the vessels
are distributed BY net work Of water
ways and warnings with cables TO THEN
resting places, where they have the same
depth OF water as at high tide outside,
without ebb at all. How strangely differ
emit every thing seemed from home We sere
hunted up on the ship by the brother OF
our beloved Geo. w Greenwood, Of Brook
lyn. He had written him before to wear
a bit of blue ribbon on his coat, while
was to have strip Of red ditto, to prevent
all mistakes. He came down 10 the tender
with his good vile. and from that time took
al landing cares off our shoulders; saw us
US through the Custom House inspection;
begged us of here; vouched for us there;
advised us in this and that; and all prelim
inaries settled, whisked our party of in two
cabs TO the Camden Hotel, where | am
penning this hasty postscript Those who
nave been aboard know how unutterably
Welcome snch attentions are, when, strsng
RS in strange land, We are Suppressed with
hat sense Of lonehness that comes over
one away from home. But we are in
hustle this morning and / can't write more
Today. Will resume the regular thread Of
Tally narrative in my next. All quite
yell. Ever in Jesus. Goo. q. BARNES.
