Liverpool possesses objects of interest of a different nature. The magnitude of its Docks astonishes every stranger. Its New Cemetery is beautiful. We visited also its Bazaar, Custom-House, and Town-Hall. The latter has a noble stair-case, and good prospect from the dome, and in some of its apartments are portraits, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, of various members of the royal family. Opposite the Exchange is a bronze statue of Nelson. He is depicted in the death-struggle, Fame and Victory holding over his head several crowns. The pedestal is surrounded by nine colossal figures in chains, representing the various nations, which he had either subjugated, or compelled to acknowledge the supremacy of Great Britain.
We were gratified by seeing some of the descendants of Roscoe, who ennobled the mercantile profession by elegant literature, and his native city by his fame. On the fifth day after our arrival we left Liverpool for the Lakes of Cumberland, well pleased with the kindness and polite attentions, which had met us at the threshold of the Mother-Land.
