We have now, however, a large number of above I,oootons engaged in the trade ; and these cannot be moored stern to stern. As the result, the dock is no longer so easily worked, and does not accom modate the same amount of tonnage, small vessels having to be packed in to fill up the quay space left vacant by the larger ships having to be moored at a greater distance apart. The sturdy men who work in clay, Scanning with eager eye and quick The Budget speech, will 'urely say, " Bless us ! but isn't Wood a Brick ?" GENERAL TRADE REPORT, which our increasing timber dated, it Liverpool feeling, Economy is, therefore, more required now than in 1847 ; and by the formation of the north docks this advantage to the trade of the port will be fully secured. It was com puted by the Dock Chairman in 1847, that the charges upon timber discharged and stored in these docks would be reduced to less than half their then amount. The expense of removal would be considerably reduced by a canal and railway being formed to communicate from every yard, with the railway termini in the neighbourhood, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the other docks of the port. The cost of labour would be greatly diminished— (in proof, the chairman stated that, Mr. S. Holme had informed him that two horses would do the same work for which five are required at the south end,)—and cartage through the streets in the unwieldy conveyances at present used would be almost abolished. The timber here could be either piled or floated ; and buyers would be enabled to inspect in one locality, and within a distance little more from the centre of the town than the present timber docks, the whole stock in the market. Another important advantage afforded by the carrying out of this project, will accrue to the trades which at present, more than any other in Liverpool, require assistance, to protect them from the effects of recent legislation. We refer to carpenters and shipwrights. At present these parties are paying on the average from 15d, to 18d. per yard annually for the large premises which they occupy. They will be accommodated at the north shore, as Mr. Bramley-Moore informed us, at the rate of 2d. per yard. As little appears to be known of the plan of these docks, and their future working, whilst the plans of the Birkenhead Dock Commissioners have been brought before the public at every available oppor tunity, we shall endeavour briefly to describe them. The Timber Docks, at present contemplated to be formed, will extend from the new fort erecting on the shore nearly opposite the first toll bar on the road to Bootle, to a point on the shore opposite to the second toll bar, and a little beyond Bootle Church, and will occupy a length cf shore of about 5,100 feet, or nearly a mile. A space, however, of 1,500 feet between their southern end and the Sandon Graving Docks is left unap propriated, and may be used either for the formation of timberor other docks, as theextension of the tradeof the port may require. The principal entrance is into a dry basin opposite the Derby Arms Hotel, and a little south of Miller's Castle. This basin is about 500 feet wide by 550 in length ; and the entrance, which is about 220 feet in width, is admirably shaped for vessels entering with our prevailing westerly winds. From this basin is an entrance to a dock or basin 3,500 feet in length by from 600 to 700 in width, and extending southwards towards Sandon Basin, from which there is also an entrance available in stress of weather. From the principal basin is an entrance eastwards to the southernmost timber dock, which is 2,250 feet in length by 300 feet in width ; and there is another entrance to the south end of this dock from the large outer dock, which we have spoken of, as extending 3,500 feet to the Sandon basin. Northwards, there is an entrance to a larger dock, 2,550 feet in length, 650 feet in width at one end, and 850 feet near the other. Of this, the eastern portion, averaging about 400 feet in width, is to remain a permanent dock. The westward side is to be used as a timber pond, or filled up as required. There is a commu nication between this dock and the southern dock. Fur ther westward, towards the river wall, and at the north end of this dock, is a space, 300 feet wide, for ship-build ing, timber or deal yards, to be made as required. There is also, beyond this, 100 feet quay space to the west, and 60 feet to the north. On the east side of both docks is a public quay, 150 feet wide, on the eastern side of which is a railway running along the whole length. There is also a quay space of 300 feet between the entrance basin and the land set apart for ship - building yards on the westward side of the large timber pond ; and quay space, averaging about 140 feet in width, between the southern open dock and the smaller timber dock. The western sides of both the timber docks are to be formed without walls, until required. We have had a great deal said of the advantages offered to the timber trade by the docks of Birkenhead. In particular, the fact of the Lancashire and Cheshire Junc tion Railway being brought to the Birkenhead docks has been dwelt upon. We have, however, by this North Dock scheme, the London and North-Western Railway, for the supply of the south of England, and the whole of the communications to the north of England, opened to us ; we have cheaper yard room for the storage of timber; and it is not an unimportant matter that the dock dues on vessels importing timber are cheaper in Liverpool by 3d. per ton than in Birkenhead. Some objection, too, has been raised as to the danger to shipping likely to be awed by tzsuaraitting timber in rafts upon the rinri a lare ox was roasted, and a ft erwar d s distributed promiscuously to all (with bread and beer) amounting to 100 persons, who behaved most decorously. But the chief attraction was a private dinner given to the oldest persons in the neigh bourhood, who were regaled with roast beef, plumb pud ding, and ale. Fifteen sat down and enjoyed with a relish the good things given ; and their united ages averaged 81 years and upwards. These, and the sires of the sons of the soil, who form the wealth of the nation, and the longevity of the party, bespeak the salubrity of the neigh bouring hills. At the bublic breakfast, given the same by the High Sheriff, great profusion was spread on the large table; and, as of course much valuable silver plate was there in use, and hundreds of persons from all parts were admitted, not one article was injured or lost. BIRKENHEAD PARISH AFFAlRS. — Numerous corre spondents has complained to us lately of the arbitrary proceedings of the parties who manage the parochial affairs of Birkenhead. They are accused also of wasteful expenditure, and of useless and costly litigation, the ab sence of just grounds for which has been acknowledged by their having at last to submit to pay both debt and costs. As an example, the payment of the trifling salary of the governors of the Bridewell was withheld by them, and only paid when steps had been taken at the Quarter Ses sions to indict for the recusancy. Numbers of the rate payers have had to complain of being over-assessed, and have been compelled to undergo the expense and inconve nience of going to Neston to appeal. If the magistrates before appointing, on Thursday, the gentlemen proposed as overseers, would institutean enquiry, we feel convinced that they would find a strong feeling existing against their re: , election. We intended to have gone fully into the subject-to-day, but must reserve a few curious particulars • cooneethd with it until nest week. TATTERSALL'S.---MONDAY.
