[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD


LIVERPOOL, Nov. 13, 1878.


Liverpool is busy to-day preparing to
ornament herself for brief reception of
the royal party early tomorrow morning.
The ceremony of receiving the Marquis of
Lorne and his wife, the Princess Louise,
will be short, but is expected to be very in
teresting and attractive, at least to the
Mayor, who will receive them, and to the
Corporation and the Chamber Of Commerce,
who will present addresses. There is quite
futter of excitement among these civic
dignitaries and the most elaborate prepara-
tions are being made by all concerned. It
is not every day that this bustling hive of
commerce is honored with the presence of
any of the royal family. and the fact that
the Marquis and his lady are going to
represent royalty in Englands most i'm
portant colony enhances the interest felt
in the event.


THE RECEPTION.


The Marquis of Lorne, the Duke of Con-
naught and Prince Leopold will arrive in
Liverpool at six o'clock tomorrow (Thurs-
day. morning, and will proceed at once to
the Adelphi Hotel, where twenty rooms
have been provided for their use. After
breakfast they will 60 to the Town Hall,
where the formal reception will take place.
ceed directly 10 the landing stage, where
the steam tender Storm Cock will be in
readiness to convey them to the steamship
Sarmatian.


LIVERPOOL oUIvfErro LONDON


Everything connected with the departure
creates considerably more interest here than
il does in London. London is so accus-
toned to the presence of royalty and Liver
pool SO comparatively little that the differ
ence is natural, but another reason for the
difference is to be found in the fact that
journalism in Liverpool has something of
American enterprise in it and keeps the
public fully informed Of every item Of news
connected with the event, so that the public
interest is aroused. For instance, tho local
journals this morning devote half column
Of their space to description Of the tender
which is to convey the royal party to the
steamer Sarmatian, and everything else
connected with the affair is written up in
the same manner.


GRAND MILITARY DISPLAY.


In order to give proper <cldt to the cere-
monial tomorrow there will be grand dis
play Of military force. The streets along
which the party will pass will be lined with
troops, guard Of honor will accompany
them TO the point of embarkation, and as
they pass the forts grand salutes of artil-
lery will be fred. The weather is a little
unfavorable, and some fears are entertained
that it may interfere with to-morrows dis
play. There was q severe storm yesterday,
but the weather to-day is little brighter
and more promising.
