THE DISPE NSARIES, THE LIVERPOOL DOCK COMMITTEE AND THE SOUTHPORT CHANNEL. We regret to perceive that a little apparen The following extract from a letter in a contemporary paper completes the case, which has already been dis cussed at length in our columns, with regard to the respec- five boundaries and rights of the Liverpool Dock Com mittee, and the Ribble Commissioners. The writer states that the boundaries of our port were fixed by Royal Corn- mission-ers, on the 28th December, 1723 ; and is defined, by the 40th Geo. 1., to extend,— "From the Red Sto. on the point of the Wh ral southerly to the foot of the river called Ribble Water in a direct line northerly, and so upon the south side of thp river to Hesketh Bank easterly, and to the River Astla. Douglas there; and so all along the sea coasts of Meols Formby into the River Mersey, and all over the Rivers Mersey Irwell, and Weaver." The writer continues : s in Hoylak aid and "The legislative jurisdiction of the Ribble commissioners extends from Preston down the river, to a line drawn from the Naze Point on the Lytham shore, to the River Douglas at Hes keth Bank, and in the channel to seaward, north of the Liver pool— hr - The anchor gents to the Dock Col of the pa .eferred to in the letters of Lloyd's .tee. is therefore clearly not within We may add that when the Ribble Act was before Par liament the Dock Trustees sent up a deputation to get in serted the exemption clauses 95, 171, and 172, whith expressly guard the rights and boundaries of the port of Liverpool from being affected by anything contained in the Ribble Act, on the express ground that Southport and Meols were within this port; and it is a little too much for the Dock Ci upon to buoy the :ommittee, because they e anchorage off Bug's Ho . are now called them, at their: own request by an Act of Parliament. The party, by the bye, who ought to have been consulted upon the legal merits of the case, is the Town-clerk, the adviser of the Dock Trustees, and not the solicitor to the Dock Committee. The former gentleman, we believe, I has arisen betw een th e C omm itt ee of that of will satisfy the municipal body upCin the subject, when the question is made one for that body's decision. As a proof that the buoys sought for are required, we may mention that on Friday last, the schooner Nanny and Betty, of Fketwood, from Newry, with a cargo of wheat and meal, for Liverpool, was wrecked in this very place. The Captain reports that he " saw broken water ahead on the S.W. end of the Horse-bank, hut could not see any buoys of the south Ribble channel. Kept the Anne's Dispensary vessel away to clear the breakers. Had the buoys been in the South Channel, I could have run into Buy' s Hole, or in the main of Southport, and not seeing any buoys, and the vessel ran so far to leeward, for the safety of our lives and property, obliged to run on the main near Birk - dale:Point." Surely such an occurrence as this ought to draw the a tention of shipowners and underwriters to the necessity of the question of liability to put down these buoys being set at rest SUNDAY DUTY Hill's Sunday vc few days since one of Mr. Rowland ,lunteers was taken into custody on the think, be two opinions as to til I both tb The unhappy charge of stealing money in the Post-of man was placed upon his trial at the Central Criminal Court on Thursday, pleaded guilty, and, owing partly to the character which he received from several officers in the Post-office ' and partly to the fact that the money was not abstracted from any letters, he was sentenced to only one year's imprisonment. Mr. Payne, the prisoner's counsel, said, that Clayton had confessed to him that his first departure from honesty commenced subsequently to his volunteering to perform Sunday duties, and that he had never appropriated a single penny of the official moneys until he bad habitually broken the fourth com mandment—since the middle of October last.

We have not space to go into the details of Mr. Scoresby's plan, but may mention, however, that in addition to direct human aid he suggests a greater use of the agency of dogs or rein deer, which have been rendered far more subservient to the purpose of rapid transit by the Russians than has yet been done by us. He sugg6ts even the use of kites as a draught power for light carriages on the ice ; and for obtaining an extensive and commanding birds-eye view of the region the use of balloons, though he at the same time the command of vision that would be thus afforded has been greatly overrated ; and he then enters into many minute details connected with the construction and infla tion of the balloons. With further reference to the inde fatigable exertions of Mr. Scoresby in the matter, the rev. gentleman has published a letter from a gentleman in Rhode Island, stating that he also had proposed a plan for the rescue of the gallant adventurers, which had called forth the tender of Captain Lynch, late of the Dead Sea expedition, of his services to government, and that he had further in view to bring the matter under the notice of the New York Historical Society. This gentleman's letter is also accompanied by another from Captain Lynch himself, printed in the John o Groat Journal, stating that he had made application to the American Navy De partment to head an expedition, and that if there were any question about expense, he could raise sufficient from rivate resourc but tha application States there had ) reply to his proper suggestion made by M treasure orrner charity, in a lette published, could be agreed to by the benevola men who f.om pose the tee of ti The follow ig is the part of M I cannot quit this subjec the public to the operatic Notwithstanding the establ without c and con ling tt shment for the relief of " Liverpool isited at the was s.
