The time of starting the steamers from Woodside is now entirely optional with the captain of each boat, and the result is that one leaves when the boat from Liverpool is about mid-chanel, another iar mediately she starts for Liverpool, while another waits hanging on till she is so close, that the boat to arrive has actually to stop her eneines to prevent a collision. Some rule should be laid down, more particularly now when there so many omnibusses that run to meet particular boats. Disap pointments are daily occurring. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK PLANS.--Admiral Beaufort and Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., the referees appointed by Government in respect to Messrs. Rendell and Aber nethy's rival plans for the comnlelion of the Birkenhead Docks, sat for some hours on Saturday, at tie offices of Mr. Stephenson, Great George-street, Westminster. Several witnesses were examined, among whom were Sir John M'Neile, the eminent Irish engineer, and Mr. Geo. Rennie. Little progress has yet been made apparently towards arriving at a decision. The prevalent impression in the room on Saturday was, that the referees will most probably recommend a compromise, a modification of both plans, with a view to a combination of the best. At the same time, the further impression appeared to be, that it would be wholly impossible to devise any suggestion that should admit of such mutual concession, the antagonistic schemes of the engineers being irreconcilably conflicting in principle and detail ; and that the adoption of one or ocher in its integrity must be determined upon conclu sively by parliament next session. RAINFORD SCHOOLS.—These schools have been raised under many difficulties, by the exertions of the Re v . J. Groom, forinerly of Si. lan's, Liverpool. Since their erection, eighteen months ago, they have progressed very satisfactorily under the superintendence of the Misses Lewis, from the Cornwallis-street infant training school. On Thursday last Mr. W. Clark, master of the Church of England School, Soutb, was invited to attend the exami nation of the children. Their appearance was very cre ditable, and showed the care bestowed upon them. Mr. Clark addressed the children, about 200 in number, en the privileges they enjoy in having a school in connexion with their church superintended daily by their respected minis ter, who evinces such anxiety for their temporal and spi ritual welfare ; he contrasted their present advantages with their past wants, when they had neither schools, nor any one to take an interest in their welfare. At the con clusion of his address, Mr. Clark opened a parcel, con taining a handsome volume of the scriptures, designed as a present for their minister, and which Mr. Clark was commissioned to purchase for them. Acclamations burst from the children on seeing this token of affection towards their pastor. Mr. Clark presented it on behalf of the children. The Rev. Mr. Groom, with visible emotion, rose and said :—My dear Children—l assure you I am most highly gratified and pleased by your very handsome and kind present. I value it for its own sake, but I value it still more for the spirit of affection and gratitude which prompted you to give it to me. lam very thankful that you love your schools, and prize the instructions of your kind mistresses; and it is also very pleasing to me to be assured that your parents are satisfied with the progress which ynu are making. For the past lam most thankful, and for the future let me very affectionately urge you to be more and more diligent, trying even more than you have hitherto done, to please your parents and your teachers. Look upon your schools, and every other of your blessings, as the gifts of a gracious God, and use them thankfully to His glory. Remember that your school days will be very soon over, and that neither now, nor when you grow up to be men end women, can you afford to lose time. Prey God to bless you, my dear young friends, and to give to you and to your parents His holy spirit for Jesus Christ's sake ; and accept the best wishes and prayers of your affectionate minister and most sincere friend, JoffN GROOM. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT. ST. GEORGE'S BATHS.—To the exertions of Mr. Alderman Parker and others, we are greatly indebted for establishment of baths and wash-houses, and obviating the nuisance that for years existed of drying clothes in the , public thoroughfares ; but with facilities so great as those now proposed by the corporation, we are surprised to find that daily the area at the pier -head baths, and even the rails surrounding them, are covered with unseemlyarticles of ladies' dress, towels, &c. The building itself is no ornament to the town, and this decoration does not im prove it. The Baths' Committee should patronize the wash-houses. THE GUNPOWDER MAGAZINE.—The site for the float ing magazines has been fixed upon. The Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, with the approval of the Master-General of Ordnance, and the commissioners for the conservancy of the river Mersey, have selected that part of the river Mersey which lies along the western side of the Eastham Sate's, to the eastward of Bromboro' Pool, for the mooring of vessels suitable for the reception and storage of gunpowder, in conformity witn the act 14 and 16 Vic., cap. 67. Taking the Liverpool Custom house as a centre, the new magazines will be about the same distance from Liverpool as the stores are on the other side of the water. LECTURES ON THE APOSTLES.—Weunderstand that the Rev. Dr. M'Nelle commenced, on Thursday last, at St. Paul's Church. a course of lectures on the " Biography of the Apostles." The subject of the first discourse was on the parentage, birth, and education of St. Paul, in which the reverend gentleman traced the history of that (Tie prated man up to his journey to Damascus. The apostle's miraculous conversion, and other eventful incidents in his remarkable life, will form the subject of the lecture on Thursday evening ; and during the service we are inform. ed that a young convert from the Church of Rome will publicly renounce the errors of that apostate system, and be received within the pale of the Christian Church. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening, the sixth subscription concert for the season took place. The principal attractions were Madame Viardot Garcia and Signor Tamberlik, who made his first appearance before a Liverpool audience, and was most deservedly successful. The instrumental performances consisted of one of Men delssohn's overtures, Auber's overture to " La Sirene," and the " Cosi fan tutti." with a violin solo` y Mr. E. W. Thomas. The madrigals and chorusses contained some of the old favourites. together with a four-part sosig—" The Hunter's Farewell," by Mendelssohn—a very beautiful composition. The concert was numerously and fashion ably attended, and has been pronounced as decidedly the best which the Society has given. THE PUBLIC CLOCKS.—There is no town in the king dom in which the public clocks are worse managed than in Liverpool. The variation of a few seconds would be of little moment, but minutes are of some note here. St. Peter's is about the best, and when with sonorous tone he tolls out the hour, St. John, as if not to disturb the tone, and of course to give the public a distinctive sound, follows after some minutes in the rear. St. George's, on which, bye the bye, a total eclipse has been for some weeks, comes still further in the wake, and those who have depended on its wily face and treacherous hands, have been sorely disappointed in saving rail or boat. The pier -clock is nearer within a trifle, and at the old clock the works have been stopped for more than a week, not even a strike has taken place, and now, as if blushing with shame, its hands are kept permanently across its face. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, curing the gale, one of the sails of Evans's windmill, at the bottom of Mill-lane, Shaw's. brow, was carried away. It struck against the chimney of the house of Mr. Lucas, sailmaker, in Golding-court, adjoining, and besides knocking down the chimney broke in almost the entire of the roof. At the time a child was sleeping in a bed in the top room, and, although the bed was almost completely covered with the ruined roof, the child miraculously escaped with but a slight injury to its , head. It appears that the sails and mill have not under gone examination or repair for a considerable length of time, notwithstanding the inhabitants of the district have expressed their apprehensions of danger therefrom. The PUBLIC MEETINGS remaining sails are in a most ricketty condition ; and, •40 - should a strong wind arise, there is little doubt much Couscre MEETING.—At the usual monthly meeting mischief may be done.

AS 7 AULT UPON A POLICE-OFFICEIC—Anthony Walsh and Miles Philby, two Irishmen, were charged with a violent assault upon police-officer M`Callan (100). Ile prisoners, on the pre vious night, were passing un Prescot-street, creating a disturb ance and pushing people off the foot-walk. The officer remon strated with them, when one of them struck him a blow with potato fork, the effect of which was to break his wrist.—Fined 40s. and costs each, or be imprisoned one month. AN UNRULY SON-IN-LAW.—A fellow named Martin was charged with an assault upon James Innis, by striking him with a knife on the face. The nrisoner had married the complain ant's daughter, and behaved so abusively to her that her father took het from him, and gave her money to start a small shop in a cellar. On the 26th instant, the prisoner scent there and threw a number of loaves into the street, after which he behaved to the father as stated.—The prisoner was bound over to keep the peace, himself in .4'40 and two sureties of .R2O each.

London-road, arising out of the Orange proces s ion, were again brought before Mr. Mansfield ; Jackson having so far recovered as to be able to give evidence. The facts of the case are these : —On the 14th of July, during the time of the riot, Jackson, who was off duty, but was in his uniform, was walk ing out with his wife; when, seeing an individual assaulted by a crowd of persons, he thought it his duty to interfere. He took the prisoner Morgan into custody, when he was struck with a brick or stone on the head by Rourke. Several per sons, amongst whom was_Morgan, jumped on him and kicked him.' He got up, when he was knocked down again with a poker' by Rigley. Upon attempting to rise, he was struck on the head with a sharp instrument. He was kicked by Rigley when down, and bled very much. He then became insensible, and recollected nothing more till he found himself a patient in •,_ corroborated by Ro . bert Jones, a tailor, of Leeds-street, and by other witnesses, one of whom said that be had seen Morgan running down Norton-street. and throwing a poker into the channel.

LIVERPOOL AUGUST SESSIONS. ATTORNEYS' COSTS IN THE COUNTY COURT.—On These sessions commenced on Thursday in the Nisi Thursdry, Mr. Grocott, who appeared in a case of Arius Court immediately after the close of the assizes, Bennett v. Phillips, applied to Mr. Ramshay to know before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the recorder. The calen whether he would allow costs, under the circumstances of dar contains the names of 80 prisoners, 78 being chsrged the case. He (Mr. Grocott) had been engaged for the with felonies, and the remainder with misdemeanours I nd plaintiff, had had to attend him and bring his witnesses assaults. The following gentlemen were sworn on the from Crosbie, and it. was not until the court was sitting that an arrangement was suggested through it. He, therefore, wished to know whether, in such cases, the advocate, who had the trouble of preparing his case, would be allowed the advocate's fees, as also witnesses' expenses. The debt was £4O, and if the case had been heard, the advocate's fee would be £2. The judge referred to the act, and said that in all cases of costs he would, in his decisions, take into consideration the amount of labour and time occupied prior to his decision. The bill of costs was handed to Mr. Statham, but we did not hear that THE GRAND NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE GARDEN, THE FIELD, THE POULTRY YARD, AND THE COTTAGE, HELD AT TARVIN HALL. This novel exhibition, possessing, as it did, so many ,ttractive features, terminated on Friday evening, after a were hardly ever surpassed in any instance. The first ca lamity arose on Sunday, during the hurricane, which spread•destrtiction in every direction. The splendid col lection of dahlias planted out for exhibition, and_occupy- however, being laid out in a very ornamental style, still afforded a fine promenade. The ground planted with Messrs. Dickson's collection of hardy annuals, each in a n acre, was untn much in the general effect. This an.l the dahlia ground was connected by a beautifully-constructed bridge, on the tension arid compression principle: its lightness was so extreme that before being put up it was easily carried to its place on one man's back ; nevertheless, when fixed, it bore the weight of ten persons without the slightest per- ceptible deflection. The magnificent rockery at the en trance-court, adorned with the large lotus fountain (exhi bited by Messrs. C. D. Young and Co.) in operation, was also designed and executed by Mr. Harrison, whose good taste in these matters has been long known and appreciated in Chester. Proceeding from the rockery, a fine avenue of holly hocks (200 yards long), in full perfection, led the visitor between the dahlia and annual ground, and beneath the Tension-bridge to the large gravelled space occupied by several marquees devoted to amusements connected with the bazaar, also the enquiry tent, and the printing-cffice. under the able superintendence of Mr. Thomas, of Chester, where the exhibitors bad their various tickets I printed as they were wanted. The bazaar itself occupied a large room, 60 feet in length, adjoining the Lecture and Concert-hall. The well-filled stalls were presided over by Mrs. and the Misses Fox, of Birkenhead, Mrs. John Lnwe, of Clifton park. Mrs. and Miss Brown, of Bolton, Miss Low, Miss Lace, of Birkenhead, the Misses Morley, and Miss Barrol, of Chester, Mrs. and the Misses Brindley, Mrs Sapio, and several other ladies, who plied their self imposed task with graceful tact and successful In tl persuasion Concert-hall was the new organ erected by Messrs. Telford and Co., of Dublin, upon which the oratorio of the Messiah was performed by Mr. Lewis, of Liverpool, assisted by an able company of vocalists; the whole being . conducted by Signor Sapio. Below the square space of ground in front of the bazaar, and separated from it by a magnificent line of iron vases of most tasteful patterns, each occupied with Dole choice . , D. Young and Co., and the conifers by Mr, Skirving, of the Walton Nursery,) was the exhibition ground, four acres in extent, around three sides of which extended the the gigantic tent, 500 yards in length. Entering this tent, at the uppbr end was a miscellaneous collection of articles —a choice set of beehives, in every variety of form, from Messrs. Neighbours, of Holborn, London—the curiously ingenious little poeket stove of Mr. Rigby, by which a dinner can be cooked at the most trifling expense, in an incredibly short time: conseouently well adented t I.nti surveyors ano mariners, who are engaged at a distance from home—hisenious fountains for poultry and game, from Bailey of London—a magnificent orchid, (Cattleya Liar risotai,) from Sir P. Egerton—an extensive series of ceramic manufactures, such as ornamental flower pots, garden seats, edgings for borders, tiles for greenhouse flnors and walls, of the most elegant patterns, by Mintons and Ridgeway, of Staffordshire—lavatory and conservatory fountains—a collection of articles in slate, as cisterns for conservatories, stoves, &c., and two elegant and useful adaptations cf slate for fern growing and for seed-pans, invented by Mr. Thomas C. Archer. These were all exhibited by Messrs. Rayner and Brown, of Lime-street • then followed a collection of LOOO cut specimens of forest trees, collections of seeds, garden tools, greenhouse and stove plants, and a very choice and extensive lot of coniferse, altogether upwards of 3,000 specimens. The entrance to their portion of the tent was adorned by a device superior to any we ever saw before ; it was an immense portico in the Tonic style, formed in hollyhock flowers of different colours. Another large space was occupied by collections of fruit vegetables, plants, &c., from the gardens of Chirk Castl, and Oulton-part, several of the latter grown by the sons of Mr. R. Errincton, who bid fair to follow in the foot steps of their veteran father as practical horticulturists. An immensely valuable collection of hardy evergreens from China and India, including the Funebral Cy , new evergreen China . rosy Cp-' 'itaxus _ Immo, ...ortunii, a new palm, said to be quite hardy, 24 species of the Sik kim Himlaya Rhododendrons, discovered by Dr. Hooker, the new Berberis Japonica and Nepaleusis, and many others never before exhibited formed the next group ; they were contributed by Messrs. Standish and Noble, of Bagshot Heath, Surrey ; then followed a series of !IV cult •ral products from various exhibitors, amongst which that of Mr. Chivas, of Chester, was remarkable for an admirable selection of cereals, agricultural roots, and a collection of grasses, implements, tools, rustic seats, &c., in all about 400 specimens ; then followed the agricultural exhibitors, who were very numerous, and excited great interest by the remarkable excellence of the articles shewn; foremost amongst them was Mr. Higgins, of the firm of J. Hadwin and Co., of this town, Mr. Patin, of Staple ford, and Mr. Beckett, of Oulton ; several fine specimens of hops were shewn, the most,beautiful being from Kent, by Mr. Barlow; much of the cottagers' produce was very good,—but the gem of the horticultural department was the collections of roses and hollyhocks, from Messrs. Lane, of Berkhampstead, who took the gold medal for roses ; and Messrs. Puul, of Cheshunt, whose roses were injured by the boxes being turned up-side-down on the railway. Their hollyhocks excited the greatest admiration and astonishment, and were deservedly rewarded with the . . gold medal. In the same tent Was also a collection of picotees and carnations from Mr. Wilmer, of Sunbury, Middlesex, which was rewarded with a certificate of merit; and at the end of these 500 yards of covered tent was a gigantic leaf of the Victoria Regime, the celebrated water lily, which excited much interest in those who had not before seen it. The exhibition of poultry was, per haps, one of the finest ever held. The principal exhibitors were Lady Grey Egerton, Miss Egerton, Miss and Mr. Beckett, Edward Simons, Esq., of Birmingham ; Dr. Gwynne, Miss Coulthurst, Mr. Henry Hillier, of Birken head ; Mr. J. Churton, of Chester; Mr. Moulton, of Sandiway ; and Mr. Lister, of Over. The large field surrounded with the tents was almost covered with agricultural implements, ornamental wire work vases, and a great variety of ornamental and useful appliances in metal and stone. In the centre was the splendid Britannia Vase, exhibited also at the Crystal Palace, by C. I). Young and Co., who also showed a horse churn and two hand churns; the formed received the gold medal, and the latter certificates of the judges approval. They had besides an immense number of useful and or namental objects, such as patent rick-stands, feeding troughs, stable-fittings, garden chairs, flower stands, labels, trellises, hurdles, gates, fencing, vases, sun-dials, fountains, &c., all of which were much admired. Mr. AlMay, of Birmingham, had a chef d'ceuvre in wire work, intended for a rosery. Messrs. Bennett, of Liverpool ; Wm. Harkes, of Lostock Graham ; John Harkes, Chivas, and others exhibited agricultural implements. Lectures were given—by Dr. Robinson on the Belgian mode of -economising manures—by Mr. T. C. A-cher on the peculiarities of the leaves of plants, especially referring to the Victoria regina—and by Mr. Paul, of the Cheshunt Nurseries, on the biography of flowers. Three bands were in attendance : that of Leche, Esq., of Carden Park ; the Cheshire Yeomanry band ; and that of Mr. Sorge of Liverpool. Owing to the unceasing torrents of rain on Tuesday, a meeting was called of the committee, judges, and principal exhibitors *: about 150 gentlemen mustered, and it was a2'reed upon to postpone the opening until the next day. Wednesday, when the exhibition was opened, but the weather continued very unfevourable all the week, by which the receipts were very much injured. Notwith standing, the success which attended the efforts of the committee to bring together specimens of the produce of nearly every county in the kingdom was so complete that steps are already being taken to perpetuate the association. and institute annual exhibitions. As soon as the prizes have been officially announced, and the catalogue pub lished, it will he made known when and where the next similar meeting will be held. We think it would be wrong to remove it from Tarvin, which, from the beauty of the locality, the educational advantages it affords to the pupils of the Tarvin Hall Collegiate Institution, and other circumstances, is a highly-desirable locality. We cannot close our report without alluding to the advantages afforded at this popular and flourishing semi nary to the numerous young gentlemen—a hundred and five—at present receiving an excellent education here. The visitors appeared highly gratified with their gentle manly and polite demeanour ; and, though with the ex ception of one day they pursued their studies with the usual attention and vigour, they had abundant opportu nities of deriving instruction and amusement from the gratifying proceedings around them. They were all evi dently in the most robust health, and we have been seldom more delighted than with the conversation sad behaviour of those with whom we were happily brought in contact. They are the offspring of many of the first families in all parts of the United Kingdom, and several of them, we anticipate, will figure conspicuously in their various spheres in after life. TESTIMONIAL.—On Saturday the congregation of St. Jude's presented their excellent curate, the Rev. T. te. Sutton, with a handsome testimonial, as a mark of their esteem for him, on his retiring from the curacy.

Detective Inspector Bates stated that on Saturday afternoon, he was in the neigh bourhood of Church-street, when he observed the prisoner make several a' tempts to pick ladies' pockets. He saw her go into several shops, and ultimately through St. John's market, to a stall of Mr. Reeves, fruiterer, on the outside. Here Mrs. Rogers was making some purchases; the prisoner went up, and be (Bates) thought he observed her to take something from Mrs. Rogers's pocket. He asked the comp'ainant if she had lost anything, and being; told that she had lost her purse, he seized the prisoner by the arms, and the purse dropped from her hand. Mr. Bluck, attorney for the prisoner, not twin' , b!' to resist ' l -de the case on its merits, requeited Mr. Mansilt to deal summarily with it, on the ground that the prisoner, who was a respectable young woman, had only been married on the prev►ous Friday.—Mr. Mansfield to Mr. Dawson. deputy Bridewell-keeper : " Is anything known of her ?"—Mr. Daw son : " She was here on the 12th of May last, charged with picking pockets."—Mr. Bluck : " She married a very --- able man, no longer since than Friday 10-* " The pleasures of the honey-moon cou!d not keep her hands from picking and stealing: if this would not restrain her, what will ?"

The woman from whom the delicious morsels had been obtained here stepped into the witness-box, and stated that on Saturday night, as she was proceeding home, she met the prisoner, who requested to be supplied with some oysters. The prisoner ate two hundred and a-half, drank two quarts of new milk, and a glass of rum, after which he refused to pay for the oysters ; and thus the disturbance was created for which the police-officer took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said the bargain was, that if he could eat the full two hundred and a-half was to pay nothintr; but if he failed 3- the full .. ne was to nay 1..- . price.
