So lately as on Friday evening, we were told by Sir James Graham, in the House of Com mons, that numbers of juvenile offenders from the Parkhurst prison—the refuse of our large towns, trained up to various trades: had been sent there, and good accounts received of their behaviour; and it is surely not wise on the part of the government that, whilst those whose first qualification was the commission of crime, are conveyed to a new country at the national expense, our own virtuous poor should be left to starve unaided at home. Again, however, we find that we have exceeded our limits, whilst we have far from exhausted our subject. We shall, therefore, make no apology for returning to it next week. THERE is a duty, imposed upon us as journalists, to give to the world all the information within our reach; with respect to affairs of great national import. In the performance of this duty we cannot do better than quote the remarks of our contem porary, the Mercury, upon the subject of the Naviga tion Laws ; premising that this said contemporary professes to be the especial leader of free trade opinion in our town. We shall not do him the injustice of garbling his lucubration s. Our readers shall have the benefit of them in full, the only liberty we take with them being the few remarks , which we append to each paragraph. f I •;ti in accordance wita our contemporary's usual practice, his observations have a text, drawn from his own columns, and sufficiently pointing out the authorship of the article. " Fair play is a jewel." is the texi in question The article . itelf is headed ' and thus our contempo- lon Laws rary discours " These law )f late very injurious to the people of this country, and require amendment ; but this does not prove thalf..ll the altera tions now proposed by Government, and the restrictions the highest d intit foreign-built by British rs abroad, while t British builder at home has to pay a duty of 15s. 9d. per load on the foreign timber he may use in ship} uilding. And it is equally absurd not to admit foreigners to trade with their vessels from one port to another in these king ... to port in their dominions. We ought either to "open our shop to all the world," saying nothing about recipro city, or we ought to make the reciprocity tell for what it is According to Mr. Labouchere's proposal, an American vessel may trade between our home dominions and our colonies. The Americans naveno coloniesbetween which and the parent states our ships can enjoy any trade in compensation for that advantage. Where, then, is the reciprocity A tv e should really like to be present at an interview between the enlightened writer of the above para graph, and Mr. Labouchere, her Majesty's President of the Board of Trade. We should like to hear the Mercury prove the absurdity of Mr. Labouchere's doing what he proposes to do, and leaving undone what he proposes to leave undone. Our contem porary ought to be summoned to parliament to give the nation the benefit of his rare wisdom. We proceed however with the article, merely reminding the reader that the first sentence is a reply to the question asked in the opening para graph—" Where then is reciprocity." "It is clearly at Parkgate. But, supposing our coast ing trade were thrown open, as well as the rest, while it would be of little or no value to Jonathan. he would be bound to open his coasting trade to us, and that would compensate for all the freedom of navigation we would award him ; for, while he would be entitled to bring sugar from Jamaica to Liverpool, we should be entitled to carry to Savannah, and return thence With cotton to Liverpool. We could take calico and cutlery to China, thence tea to Philadelphia, and thence a general cargo to Liverpool. By opening our coast trade we should gain enormous ad- fide secu Committee, in I ....crviews, we learn, were held durin, ; but no arrangement of a satisfactory character, or the basis of one, was arrived at. An endeavour was made - "Pv-Moore to procure from the bond ' but the only reply Mr. J. B holders an offer of a definitive nature , ti., was a declaration from Sir J. L. Goldsmidt that he, a the principal bondholder, must be paid off in full, _ the pound, with interest—a proportion of which, hOwever, uonds, reneweu ae . ..,nmittee at a lower rate of interest than those ~n now represent his claim upon Birkenhead. As this was stubbornly adhered to as the basis of the negociations, and of course could not be assented to, nothing was done up to the departure of the Dock Chairman to attend the meeting held in Liverpool on Friday, or seemed likely to be effected at all, up to the last accounts received. The bonded debt of t' , lead Dock Commissioners _. Lee Thrkenlit_ amounts at present to £423,000 ; of this only a portion has been expended upon the construction of the works to be purchased, and that portion not very jndiciously, in the opinion of the proposed purchasers. Of the remainder some has been lent, invested in the necessary plant, or otherwise got rid of. The Dock Committee can, of course, only treat for the purchase of an actual and bona 7 . security; and, until the bondholders have such to offer, -, ecially so long as they hold out for the full r•-' with a view to profit upon other transactions, there can be no prospect of a negociation being even commenced. It appears, we understand, very doubtful that Mr. Goldsmidt can be induced to recede from his present position ; and, should this be the case, the proposed pur chase must fall to the ground, as the Commons committee have only given until to-day for an arrangement to he concluded ; and, even should they be induced to grant a further adjournment for a few days, there will be scant time for procuring the consent of the Dock Trustees here America, upon a matter which demands to be maturely weighed.- There are other difficulties, too, in the way, and some of a rather intricate character. As the basis of any purchase of the property by the Liverpool Dock Committee, they require that all the acts of parliament binding them, with respect to its application, should be swept away. Now, this would at once bring us into collision with the Woods and Forests, who claim the northern strand of the pool, and who have a claim upon the Dock Commissioners of Birkenhead, who have undertaken to make a large portion of it into land for their use. Again, it brings us into col lision with the Railway Company, who, having expended a large amount of money for a branch and wharfage land, demand the completion of the scheme as originally planned. We should have, besides the Dock Warehouse Company, the Warehouse Commissioners, the owners of frontages on the pool, the Commissioners of Birkenhead, and others to settle with—the whole of whose demands would be quite incompatible with the application of the estate for any save purely Birkenhead purposes. We think we have said enough to show that there is V to probal iitti, —Nifty of any progress being made in a pur chase during the present session of parliament at all events; and if it fall to the ground now, we entertain little expec tation of a renewal of the proposition from this side of the water. It is clear that in the present state of affairs, the ownership of these docks would involve the Liverpool. Dock Committee in endless contests with our neighbours, as any attempt on their part to apply them merely as an adjunct to their own dock estate, for beaching ground, building yards, foundries, and other purposes for which they might be made useful, would raise up against them, from a host of different interests, a cry that they were destroying Birkenhead entirely. THE SUGAR DUTIES To-day the Committee appointed by the House of Com mons, on the sugar duties, are to come to their resolution upon what shall be their recommendation to the House, with reference to the degree of protection to be afforded to the West Indian planters for some years to come. Three several plans have been proposed to the committee —a very elaborate one, by Lord George Bentinck. This was rejected. There was a second scheme, of Mr. Wil son's, with which the planters were tolerably satisfied,— this also was discarded. Tnere was a third, attributed to Mr. Goulburn and Mr. Cardwell, which would, we be lieve. have been still more agreeable to the West Indian interest, but of which a vital clause was thrown out by the influence of Lord George Bentinck bnvn nn nn n nrl.l Thus the committee mendation in fiivoiir of protection at all, unless the pro position of Sir Thomas Birch be accepted. This is to the effect, that the duties on foreign sugars shall for the next six years be 20s. per cwt., and on British sugars 10s. per t cwt. ' it fa )s. per cwt. The recommendation is to be ac companied by another for a large increase in the supply of free-negro labour, This would appear to be the last effort that can be made in the committee, and we would call the attention of all who do not desire to witness the abandonment of a great line of national policy to this most important subject. We would have it considered upon "slavery" grounds. The West India' , --' " us, planters ten .ad common sense would appear to confirm the statement, that in time—in a few years—they will be able to bear the competition with the foreign sugar-grower upon equal terms. If this be so, the question of slavery is favourably solved. After all we have done, this last experiment is surely worth trying. PETITION FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE NAVIGATION LAWS. We were not a little surprised yesterday afternoon on learning that a document to the above purport was lying for signature at our Exchange News-room. After the opinion of the town had been so unequivocally recorded against any such measure, at the meeting in the Sessions House on Friday, we might have expected that the good sense of the promoters of repeal would have prevented such a display of their weakness and obstinacy. W e found our information, however, strictly correct. The placard, also lying on the desk, was to the following effect : " A Petition for Repealing the Navigation Laws, and removing at the same time all restrictions on the construction and employment of British Shipping, This is doubtless an endeavour to give effect to the un successful amendment proposed by Mr. Wylie at the meeting last week; and however little we maybe inclined to attach importance to this proceeding, we still conceive it necessary that the shipping interest of this town should not suffer any thing which may appear, however meagrely support-' '-stnntiw. -.t- - , ta Dr- ed, M a stios,antive form, to pass witnot erompt contradiction. We therefore earnestly call upon our fellow-townsmen to lose no time in getting up a counter petition, when they will shortly be able to demonstrate that the supporters of the Navigation Laws are in an overwhelming majority in the borough of Liverpool. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon only 24 names had been appended, consisting of those parties who had spoken at the meeting in favour of repeal, in addition to whom we noticed, at the head of the list Mr. Eyre Evans, lower down Mr. William Rathbone, et hoc genus omne, to the number before stated ; and at five o'clock they had only raised 11 more.

But between the president of the Board of Trade and the Mercury there is no comparison on the score of authority. Our contemporary has the advantage by many chalks. the fore Upon our concluding quotation from the Mercury's article we shall make no remarks.

TRANSFER OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS..- STATE OF THE NEGOCIATIONS We informed our readers in our last, that a negotiation had been set on foot, by which it was hoped that an ar, rangement would be come to, by which the docks of Bir• kenhead would be handed over for completion, and I worked in future by the Liverpool dock trustees To en- deavour to bring about such was despatched on Monday rrangement, a deputatipn by the Birkenhead .uthonties to London, to consult the bondhoiners on the übject •, and as the result, three of the latter body, of thorn Mr T.-- r r•• • • • • tions, as to the of the proposed transfer, with the chairman and rs of the Parliamentary Committee of the Dock d to enter upon n -s, the watering of streets and cleansing of courts, he was in favour of employing salt water, as equally suitable, and they might have a reservoir in an elevated part of the town, to which a small engine would pump it. Some of the present mains, which if the new scheme were to go on, would be removed orrendered useless, might for this pur pose be available. Ho combatted some objections made to the use of salt water, as tending to spoil gentlemen's clothes, as futile. With regard to supplying manufactur ers and others, who employ condensing engines, they in general would prefer pumping their own water. The cost of the smallest "monster" schemes proposed would be far more than that of availing themselves of their imme diate resources. With the former, the people would have to pay, as be showed by figures, a large amount more. The. new plan, in place too of costing half a million, might cost double that sum. It would be impossible to reduce the rates, if so large an addition was to be levied upon us. He read an abstract of a paper he had that day from Mr. Simpson, showing that large quantities of water could be obtained from the upper sandstone rocks in this and other adjoining localities. He next touched upon the demand that had been made for a constant sup ply in all the pipes, but expressed his opinion that this was necessary only in some of the great mains, and that the service pipes should have cocks for regular and fre quent supply only. Courts could be well supplied by cisterns which the works would keep always full, and that they were not provided (for the cost would be but ls. 61. per house additional per annum), was solely the fault of the landlord, and not of the companies. Some of them thus supplied, let for 265. a year more than those opposite which were not ! He then showed, that to give a more frequent supply to districts did not require so large an additional expenditure of water as was generally believed, and this he proved by adducing Marybone district, which cost very little more to supply it six times a-week in place of three times, as formerly, though densely peopled. With respect to drying up private wells, this was of trifling consequence, as compared with the general advantages of large and deep wells; and the few parties who lost their wells, could be supplied immediately at a very little more cost. He had seen Revington, and he believed all its waters, and he deemed the scheme respecting it great, but surrounded by risk and dif ficulty. He would not be one of the gentlemen who would incur the respons bility of carrying it out. It was against it that the light, though not extensive thrown upon it lately, excited doubt and alarm. The public, in cluding himself, were all to blame that it had gone so far without proper investigation, and the discovery of these difficulties now surrounded it. They had already spent £30,000 in law expenses, &c., on it, and some seemed to think they ought therefore to go on with it, and spend £400,000 more.. He concluded by saying that from what he could judge or learn, he would respect fully recommend to the Corporation a postponement of their plans. There were great difficulties in the way. They ought to lay all feeling aside, but a consideration for the public good; weigh well the arguments on both sides; and think of the great burden they would throw upon the town, by persisting in their present scheme. Let them wait, at least, until the question was more thoroughly sifted, as to the supply that could be furnished by the present works, and until others that might be added within their own vicinity, were fairly tested.

APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES The inhabitants of Paris were thrown into a state of great excitement on Saturday afternoon by the rappel, which was beaten in all the principal thoroughfares. The national guards immediately assembled in all their usual places of rendezvouz, and the shops were generally closed. The cause of this movement was a mystery. The national workmen, above 100,000 of whom are engaged in the capital and its neighbourhood were, it was said, to revolt, and menaced to set fire to Paris. On Sunday the city was tranquil, but reports again raised the excitement. The troops were again out, and supplies of ammunition have been brought to the different posts. amidst much applause.) Mr. SMITH, Vllo was called upon by the Chairman, as one of the parties who had visited the Rivington Pike, said, that he found that many of what he had been ac customed to call ditches, were called streams, and many of them. as well as of the streams, were perfectly dry. The Douglas contained only an inch, and the Yarrow 21, the former being abstracted altogether by the canal coin- panies. It was said, however, that the wa dammed up when plentiful, and doled oz . - wanted. The vallies, now meadow land, to be manured by guano and other commodities. The water was not such as we could use ; and he found that the quantity would not be more than sufficient to give compen sation required. In. Manchester, he had found that similar water, pure to the eye, would not be used. The Rivington water had the same properties—animalculm, and vegetable and earthy matter—which he had found in pools abounding with fish, and of course full of food suit able for fish. He had never seen a country so deficient in water, although he had visited many parts of the country. If they only proposed to collect it in winter, we could procure it easily by the same means upon our own sandstone grit. In the valley of the Riddlesworth the stream runs over the coal measures ; and the water runs through the millstone grit, and resembles skim milk. The speaker referred to the insecurity of depending upon estimates, and referred to the increase of those for St. George's-hall; and combated the notion that so large a quantity as 200,000 gallons would be required for working the cranes at the docks. Mr, Smith concluded by en treating the people of Liverpool to pause before entering upon this enormous expenditure, reminding t we may pred a room crowd fed to excess. HORRIBLE DEATIL—On Friday fortnight the schooner Charlotte, of Bridgwater, was put into the graving dock at She:borne for repairs, Six men were at work under her, when the vessel was observed to be giving way, all the men escaped except one. an old man who was in a sitting posture and the vessel fell on him, forcing his heart and lungs through his body with such force as to eject them several feet from his person, and his heart was seen quiver ing in the bottom of the dock until taken up and placed, with the lungs in the poor fellow's cap. OVERCHARGE OF SERVANTS, AND THEIR RETAINING THE DIFFERENCE OF THE MONEY.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a boy named Charles Shaw, and a young man named William Bingham, were charged before Mr. Rush ton with having overcharged the servant of a gentleman from London, for the keep of a carriage and two horses for a night at Mr. Lucas's repository, and retaining to themselves tha difference of the money, only 7s. of which, however, was paid over to 11r. Lucas's foreman. Mr. Lucas said the charge was only 6s. They were both com mitted for trial. ''9B 30'01 aem that, in the event of their driving the inhabitants of Liverpool by high rates to take their families into smaller houses, they might not improve the sanitary condition of the town. Mr. GRANTHAM explained as to his remarks with respect to the landlords not providing tanks, so far as the Bootle Company was concerned. Mr. RAWLINSON maintained that an expenditure of money for a supply of water to a large town was not to be looked at in comparison with a good supply. After referring to the fact that this was not a country of foun tains, and to the low sanitary state of Liverpool, he pro ceeded to contend that the Rivington Pike scheme was after all an inadequate scheme, and that a much larger amount might be brought from the Dee for the same money. His scheme was calculated to supply 30,000,000 gallons ner day, and although Mr. Grantham might think that excessive, the inhabitants of New York did' not think so. This quantity could be supplied at a profit over the total expense of procuring it. He stated that by his plan the mains could be kept full at all times for fires, for flushing sewers, and all other purposes. Mr. Raw linson condemned the Rivington Pike scheme on the ground that the water there came down unequally; and contrasted it with the ample supply which could be brought from the Dee ; and after an appeal to the people of Liverpool on the score of their local greatness, con cluded his paper amidst partial cheers. Mr. SPENCER complained that the meeting had shown a feeling in favour of some speakers ; and contended that they were not prepared to go into a decision upon the figures and estimates brought forward by Mr. Grantham. After a few remarks in opposition to the views of Mr. Grantham and Mr. Simpson, of the Green-lane Water Works, he proceeded to read a letter from Professor Ans ted, referring him to local experimce as to the sunnly to ESCAPE FROM GAOL.—OD the 18th, two prisoners confined in Cardigan gaol for housebreaking effected their escape and got clear off. Immediately after the gaoler's visit on that day, the prisoners must have set to work, and having broken off the leg of a bench, with that im plement they succeeded in breaking their way through the walls of their apartment, whence they got to the roof of a part of the gaol ; there they tore their blankets in pieces, and having fastened them together, they tied one end to an iron railing, and formed a rope, by means of which they descended to the fields at the back of the gaol, whence they got clear into the road. Two MEN STABBED BY A BLACK MAN.—At the Police court, yesterday, a black (Brazilian) sailor, named John Fontenac, was charged with having stabbed two English sailors, David Rolland and John Charleton, on Saturday night, about eleven o'clock. The prisoner, who was with two coloured companions, had come out of a public-house, in Wapping, and was challenging " any Englishman" amongst those who passed to fight him. The complain ants and others with them were passing, when, from the violence of the prisoner, a scuffle ensued, he having first struck a blow at Charleton, who was wounded in the face and hand. The other complainant seeing his comrade attacked, ran to his assistance, and was also stabbed in several places in the neck. Two other witnesses saw a knife glittering in the prisoner's hand. He made his escape, but was soon afterwards taken. He denied the charge in toto, but was sent for trial.

A LANDLORD.—Mrs, iean, Shaw's-brow, pester Allen, wife of Mr lay appeared before of six or seven Irishmen who had on Saturday night forced themselves into the house, and said they "wanted some Orangen►en," apparently to assail them, and that c sent for hey must bE Their conduct was so viol .nt that Mrs. Allen sent for the police, but they all escaped, with the exception of the prisoner, who, before he was appre hended, had struck the landlord so cruelly on the head that he was unable to come up, as appeared from . a sun s certificate. Upon the prisoner there was found a yiece of iron, resembling an old-fashioned pot-hook. Mr: Rushton strongly reprehended the conduct corn plained of. What had the prisoner and his companions to do with Orangemen, or to assail them with dangerous weapons such as that produced ? He ordered him to be remanded to the gaol, to await further evidence, and en deavour to discover the other aggressors ROYAI MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—On Saturday last, the .y of her Majesty's_ birthday, the members of this club opened their season by the ytbts sailing in com pany, under the broad pendant of the worthy and respected commodore, T. Littledale, Esq., whose flag was hoisted d of his fine yacht, the Queet? of the The day was remarkably propitious for the occa sion—fair and beautiful, with a light gaff topsail breeze, which remained steady during the whole day. The fleet counted, in'addition to the commodore's craft, the Drift —53 tons, the Vision-45 tons, the Minona, Hebe, Jeannette, Ranger, and Gem, the latter vessel belonging to the hon. secretary, who officiated as the vice-commo dore on the occasion. The yachts were manoeuvred by Ackers' code of signals from the commodore's craft, re peated by the Gem. Each of the yachts had a select party of the friends of the various owners on board, and after sailing over a distance of upwards of forty miles, re turned to Liverpool, and all expressed themselves highly delighted with the day's cruise, be got from the red sandstone. Mr. Spencer admitted that the quantity required might be got, but that it would be as extensive as the double supply from Rivington Pike. In reply to Mr. Rawlinson's remarks, he said that the gauges at. Rivington had, up to last week, given above a million gallons more than the estimates. The fact which Mr. Smith had stated- 7 that on his visit the streams were dry—proved that the shed was not upon a boggy marshy land ; and produced specimens of the water from all the streams, taken at various times and sealed up by rancts, and contenueu in savour of their superior He proceeded to remark upon Mr. Rawlinson's of the Dee water. as water not likely to ho emit ments had been touched. He asked, as to a statement made that the public were getting salt water out of some wells, where was it ? He was told it was in Oil -street. Mr, Was. EARLE said it was in his well; and if he wished he could give him salt to his porridge. (Laughter.) Mr. DANSON, after some remarks upon Mr. Grantham's .e large incre there was given the assurance of an approaching supply of that commodity, which was increasing the revenue from the water company very largely. He proceeded to condemn the remarks of Mr. Smith, which he deemed derogatory of the character of the eminent professional men engaged in this question. The speaker went on to argue that the out-townships, who were complaining of the present rates, had a full right to bear those rates which they had sought to have paid out of the borough fund. Mr. SMITH explained and denied that he bad made any imputation upon the gentlemen engaged by the Corpo ration. Mr- ( LANTHAM replied by defending the slight altera tion which he had made in Mr. Hawkley's estimate ; and seeing many of the officials engaged in the sanatory ques tion, his friend, Mr. Fresh, in particular, repudiated the charge of having thrown any stigma of inattention to the wants of the town by the committee upon the subject. THE FLowkit SHow.—Our readers are fully apprised that the first Horticultural exhibition of the Liver?ool Association will take place on Thursday next, at the Corn Exchange.

It was after- wards found that no houses were lately built in Dexter street, and the whole was a trick. Mr said Rushton, this case could not stand, as the goods had been sold upon the prisoner telling a falsehood, and the party selling them did not use due caution and inquiry. Another case was then brought against the prisoner, be had obtained 56 dozen of room paper from Mr. Wm. Harlow, on promise that it should be paid for to the person who took before it was delivered over. He, however, induced the carrier to go to a public-house, where he persuaded him to leave sold it, in Islington, for o swindled a Mr. Evans. r._ Rushton said that, as the frauds of the prisoner we no doubt extensive through the town, and the reporters were present, he should remand the prisoner, in the ex pectation that the publicity of the case so far would lead to the discovery of other cases against him. THE DISMISSAL OF SIR H. BULIVER.—The Times, of yesterday, publishes the letter of the Duke of Sotomayer, the Spanish minister, to Sir H. Bulwer, ou r am b assa d or at adrid, requesting the withdrawal of the latter from that capital. After announcing to Sir Henry the apprc hensions entertained for his safety, the Duke " Your conduct, in the execution of your important mis sion, has been reprobated by public opinion in England, censured by the British press, and condemned in the Bri tish parliament. Her Catholic Majesty's government cannot defend it when that of her Britannic Majesty has not done so. In this state of things your remaining at Madrid is considered in this country, doubtlessly without foundation, as a proof of the weakness of the government, and, if this opinion should gain strength, it might occasion some conflict, which it is indispensable to avoid at any cost. For these reasons, which the loyalty of the British people and its government cannot otherwise than appre ciate at their true value, her Majesty's government has resolved to put an end to all these fatal contingencies, by transmitting you your passports, and requesting you, within the term of forty-eight hours, or sooner if possible, to quit this capital, for circumstances are urgent, and there would be much to lament if this took place too late." The Duke goes on to say that he does not wish to wound the dignity of the British nation, and th at t h e d e . parture of Sir Henry cannot weaken the relatims of friendship between the two countries, s it Visitors and residents in Liverpool should v? f i e t▪ or ENTAL DIVAN, CLAYTON -SQUARE, faShiOna l i Le ,, prOP',flt RANT and SUPPER LOUNGE.
