    3. THE ROYAL VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. It has now been definitely arranged that the DUKE OF EDINBURGH will visit Liverpool, and that he will remain in the town for two or three days. His Royal Highness will be presented with an address from the Corporation, after which ceremony he will lay the foundation stone of the new Art Gallery, adjoining the Brown Museum and Library, and which will be erected at the expense of the Mayor, Alderman A. B. WALKER. In the evening the Duke will be entertained by the Mayor at a grand banquet at the Town Hall, to which the leading gentry of the town and neighbourhood will be invited. His Royal Highness will be present at the musical festival, and in the afternoon will probably take a short trip on the river. The Duke will formally inaugurate the Seamen’s Orphan Asylum, the fine building in Newsham park which was recently opened. His Royal Highness, during his visit, will not be the guest of any private individual, the Corporation having placed Newsham House at the disposal of the Duke and his suite. This is a handsome residence, pleasantly situated in Newsham – park, and is used by the Judges of the Assize during their stay in the town. ================================================================= barb, ontario, canada.
