T A IVERPOOL DOCKS.—Provisions of New Act of Parliament. The Dock Trustees think it right to intimate to the Commer cial Public that the New Dock Act has come into operation, and contains the following additional provisions with reference to general management. Imported goods left on the Dock Quays longer than 48 hours after landing, and goods for Export or other purposes remaining on the Quays so as to cause obstruction, may now (as was before the case with respect to Timber) be removed and warehoused by the Trustees, and can be restored to their owners only on the pay ment of expenses, and in case of default there is a power of sale for recovering such expenses. This additional remedy is, more over, not to affect the former law as respects penalties. _ Ali vessels are now required to keep such a quantity of cargo or ballast on board as to enable them to be forthwith removed in safety, in case of accident, or when required for despatch of business. Penalty ,e5O. the Harbour and Dock Masters have now also the power of directing the removal of vessels in a Dock, or from one Dock to another, and their position, loading and discharging therein, and in case of neglect may themselves remove the same, charging the owners with the expenses. Vessels on which any tonnage or other dues may be owing, and vessels damaging Dock works, may now be detained until due' paid. or damages satisfied. Under former Acts the Shipowner had a lien for freight on goods discharged into the Dofk Warehouses, in the same manner as if they had remained in the ship, but doubts have been enter tained whether this privilege extended to any other his lawful claims of lien, such as for salvage, jettison, and in cases of dis puted rights of property, &c. This doubt is now removed, to the considerable benefit of Shipowners. The Harbour and Dock Masters are now protected in the exe cution of their duty, by the imposition of a penalty of '6lO on all persons obstructing or impeding them, or disobeying their lawful orders, or using abusive or offensive langnage. Additional powers have been given for facilitating the collection of Dock Dues, and preventing evasion. The 60th and 125th Sec tions of the Customs Act of 1853, providing for the delivery to the Collector within fourteen days next after the discharge inwards, and the clearance outwards, of all vessels at Liverpool, correct Hats or manifests (in the former case), and transcripts of mani fests (in the latter case), comprising full particulars of all free reods imported or exported, are now repealed as respects the qatnmst and rep_aviantarl thn Tlnrir Ant. wait .he prirlitinn being extended to all goods, whether dutiable or free. It will he necessary, therefore, to take notice, that from and after this day all such lists, &c., are to be deposited, not at the Custom-house, as heretofore, but at the Dock Office, and it is requested that they may be so deposited at the "Check Office," on the ground floor of that building, where they are now examined by clerks expressly appointed to such duty. The penalty ('2O) for not duly deliver ing such lists, &c., is also made to attach, not, as before, to the wilful evasion only of such dues, but to any neglect or omission to pay them, and may be enforced as well against principals in houses of business as their clerks or servants, and the magistrate on the bearing of any complaint is empowered to call for the production of cargo books, bills of lading, or other documents relating to the cargo of any ship mentioned in such complaint.—By order of the Dock Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.

ON Friday, the Appropriation Bill, which is usually considered the final measure of the session, was brought in and read a first time in the House of Com mons. The Ministerial Fish Dinner, which is one of the sessional usages, rarely, if ever, omitted, will take place to-morrow ; and on Saturday Parliament will be prorogued, unless any unforeseen event should render necessary its postponement till the following Monday. It is useless to reiterate complaints of that reckless waste of time which has characterised the closing ses sion. Even on Friday last, eight hours were occupied in discussing a senseless motion about the negotiations at Vienna, which resulted, as it might have been ex pected to result, in nothing but an adjournment at nearly two o'clock in the morning. The most import ant measure of the session will be the Appropriation Bill, by which upwards of eighty-six millions has been voted to the service of the Crown ; and when this is presented, at the prorogation, for the Royal Assent, it will tell the tale most forcibly of the expensiveness of the war, and the utter inability of the Commons of England to turn their attention to any other business. The members of Parliament will be released from their arduous duties to tell their constituents of the labours they have undergone in prolonged sittings throughout the night ; and, if any evidence be wanted of the atten tion which they have bestowed on the public service, they may refer to the long speeches which have filled the columns of the daily papers. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. FOR several days we have been without any intelli gence from the seat of war in the East, and the anxiety for news has been greater as the means of gratifying it seem to have been less. The public are, no doubt, extremely desirous to learn all that can be told of the progress of affairs in which they are so much interested ; but intelligent men will have no difficulty in perceiving that the strategies of war, to be successful, are best re lated after they have been performed. We have known too much during the progress of the siege of what was about to be done ; and as all such intelligence is as open to the enemy as to ourselves, the publicity may have been the means of defeating them. The Generals, however, appear to have grown wiser by experience. With the Electric Telegraph under their controul, they have confined their communications to some such intel ligible information as " All is well ;" " the troops are healthy ;" " we are progressing favourably," &c. With such scraps of comfort we must be content until the preparations shall have been crowned with success, and then the country may be ringing with the glorious —O.. of g"'^4 virirmw_ hoalloa_ of the Russians," or " Fall of Sebastopol." With the little information of an authentic character that we have received, the official despatches saying nothing as to intentions, there is every reason to believe that some affair of moment is in contemplat!on. Letters from the Crimea speak of rumours of attacks which it was contemplated would take place about this time, and an expedition in preparation, the object of which was not known. Within the last few days, the French EMPEROR has purchased the whole fleet of steam boats, to the number of 97, navigating the Rhone and the Saone ; and these, which are destined for the Black Sea, will be capable of disembarking an army of 50,000 men in any of the rivers or creeks of the Crimea, where, from the shallowness of water, larger vessels dare not venture. Notwithstanding, therefore, the absence of intelligence, we have reason to anticipate that, ere long, we may receive accounts of a more decisive character. • NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE. RUMOURS are rife of a probability of renewed nego tiations for conditions of peace with Russia ; and the belief in their truth was sufficiently strong to cause a rise in the public funds, on Friday, though it was not maintained on the following day. The foundation for this report arises from the departure of General LETANG from Paris, on Thursday, despatched, it is said, by the Emperor Louis NAPOLEON, on a special and confi dential mission to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in reply to a communication from the latter, addressed to the Emperor of the FRENCH. As the communications are from one sovereign personally to the other, nothing is positively known as to their contents ; but it is con jectured that they refer to propositions contained in a letter from the Empress Dowager of RUSSIA. to the Archduchess SOPHIA. of At - mu. These, it is be lieved, infer a willingness on the part of Russia to make some further concession on the limitation in volved in the third point of the recent conferences, so as to lead to the hope that an arrangement may be be come to with the Western Powers on this all-im portant point. It is well known that Austria is extremely desirous to assume the part of a mediator in the quarrel; and, as no means present themselves of re-opening communications except through this chan nel, it is not at all surprising that the medium of a personal communication should be adopted to suggest concessions, to which a sense of national dignity would not stoop through the ordinary diplomatic channels. Should these conjectures be true, we may shortly hear of an attempt to re-open the negotiations at Vienna upon an assumed proposal of Austria, in reality ema nating from Russia ; and as this, no doubt, will be but a modification of power in former proposals, apparent perhaps more in words than in intentions, the subject will require the greater attention, lest that diplomatic skill for which Russia has long been pre-eminent should prove more successful than even the defenders of Sebastopol. However desirous we may be that the object for which the war was undertaken should be effectually accomplished, we can have no valid objections to treat for conditions of peace, provided that such concessions are made as may afford a reasonable hope of the negoti ations being brought to a satisfactory conclusion. At the same time, however, special care should be taken that the renewal of conferences is not used as a pretext for slackening the efforts which are being made to obtain possession of Sebastopol. We have not the slightest ground for placing any reliance whatever on Russian professions, unless accompanied with material guarantees. We may feel sure that Russia will yield nothing which she has the power to retain, and that, even should it prove true that she is now willing to yield more than was the case a few months since, this change in her policy can only have arisen from the apprehension that she will not much longer be able to retain her position in the Crimea. After all, negoti ations, under present circumstances, will prove but a waste of words, to inspire hopes in the advocates for Kate at any price. The gordian knot can only be 1. untied by the capture and destruction of Sebaswro and then, if Russia be inclined to treat for peace 0n.,, unconditional acceptance of the terms proposed by v; Western Powers, diplomatists may confer at Vien n3 long as they please.

The season, however, passed over wit ', realisation of the many fond hopes, and was vi° o 4, o with the knocking down of the fort at Bon ers o fie a mere something upon which to found a e eri tif despatch. Then we were told that our shiP e re icif large in size for the work which they had w t° ,. p oil 4 j in shallow waters; that smaller vessels wer e ,: r eff and the Admiral, excusing his inactivity 1 1 ° ' of the Admiralty to adopt his unexplained s for the destruction of Sveaborg, took creclitt°oB43 for bringing home the fleet in safety, °toil! himself for the mortification of his disapP°d,il - in vituperation of his official Pa r ; be itg7; had to learn wisdom by experience, and, . 1 , 1 " oble' ° ,l ; mitted that a flotilla of gunboats was indisr p ot the performance of the required service, f e otict; were instantly made to supply the defect, a n , 0 0 1 ', 4 tions of Russian humiliation were postpon e ' f er, breaking-up of the frost should allow of t b il e ee tro v o of hostilities.
