THE NEW DOCK BILL. We hale been tafotied Itith a draft copy of the new bill, " to enable the Mersey Deets altd ilarhear Peard to purchase froin the Colteiatioa of liifelooi the rerergioil in fee Of ocrtain leasehold lands of the tradtd at birkelthedd i io eiteiid the Oiled for the Completion of certain works at iiirkeiihericl, W enable the board to improve the working of the clods ilia the' leading and unloading of vessels." Th. bill of forty nlonooo, and tho preamble sets forth the power, taken by a former act, to purchase froni the torpotation the dockyard at Birkenhead, with ottier lands on the south side of the Great Float, adding that the hoard Mid Cofpofaobh having been. unable to agree as to the itiltid oil Which sitar p&OlinSe should be effected, it has become expedient flint Comptisory powers to effect such purchaie should be conceded td the board. By the fifth clause of the bill, the amount of purchase -nronq is to' be determined by arbitration, the Board of Tin& being enipoWeied to appoint en umpire, should tiie eft - iiidt6fe ilegleOt to do' so: It is further pro - Tided, by subsequent diatiseS, that the parChage money may remain on security of the bonds of the Ward, or that a rent-charge may be substituted for a sum in gtoss: There is one point upon which, of course, the pit/- Mater, of the bill will anticipate opposition. It relates to the 06010 eitension of time for the completion of the dock worki at tiititettbe'Eid, The clause in reference to this is as follows: " The period for completion of the whole of the ltdrlss sifthl? mentiouefl in section six of the Mersey Docks and Harbour (1V&Ics) Act, 1858,' shall be extended to the twelfth day of July, one' fUOtteand eight hundred and sixty-four ; and such Act shall, for al/ purposes what ever, be construed as if such latter date bed been expressly mentioned therein as the period for the call , of the work sixthly therein described." The words itt /ittlfos are of course only provisionally inserted, the actual figiifes and dates having to be determined in commtttee. The next clause is also one of considerable itUpollettee, fu it soolts a now powor, whioh may bo regarded as the frilitadott of an improved system of working the docks. this is t 8 aftoint sitrveyors of cargoes and goods. It relates likewise to ilia iiccrlsingr of master stevedores and master lumpers. The bonds entered into by master porters it is proposed to increase from £2(16 id AMO.. Master stevedores and master lumpers are also to give bonds with nineties in £2OO. By the 19th clause, iowever, it is provided that the owner or master of a fessel Malt eritibiot the etew to discharge the cargo. The 21st clause Is Els Tolle • "Every surveyor of cargoes Aid goods appointed by the board shall, with respect to any Vessel Which may be unloaded or discharged within the dock at district to which he may be appointed by the board, carefully otartine the stowage of the cargo of such vessel, and fully investigate the nature and extent of the damage (if any') *hi& sneh eargo, or any part thereof, may hdfe stitstained, and also investigate the cause of such damage ; and AA allso; when required by any one or more of the owners at consignees of any such vessel or her cargo, report upon and eettify to him or them the state of such cargo in respect of its ltawage, and of the damage (if any) which such cargo, or any part thereof, may ttafe sustained, and of the cause of such damage." _ _ For this 1i is to receive in return a reasonable fee and power is given to these surveyors to go on board vessels, and inspect every part of the ship or cargo : parties obstructing them in the discharge of this duty to be liable to penalty. Then it is proposed to make mas ter porters responsible, both to consignees and owners, for the correct sleighing and measuring of goods ; and sttitieqUent ttanses go to vaty the period for which goods may retain on the dock quays. It is known that for state time the board have bad in contemplation the appointment of traffic managers; and the 31st clause provides that it I n addition to any other duties Of any) which Wray be innaised upon all or any of the persons appointed by the llo'ar'd vet as traffic managers, such traffic mana gers shall eXerdstS' a rs.eneral superintendence over the whole traffic on the (Flays a'n'd piers within their respec tive docks or districts, and rliAe rt periodical report thereon to the board, and superintend the /ttrious master porters, master stevedores, and master larripere acting ct einployed therein, and shall report to the board from time to &aft alry neglect of duty on the part of any such persons, and also fafel I,Seep a correct account of all fines and penalties which shall have been incurred, and all quay-rents which shall have beeollffirayable to the board ; and for better enabling such traffic managers to perform their several ditties, they shall at all times harve free access to all: books; writings, and documents kept or made vs well by finch P6irOps as by the landing clerks, porters, set. wants, and °aid personS employed by them or any of them, with full pow& te Make copies thereof or extracts therefrom ; and if any master porter, master stevedore, master lumper, landing clerk or other person shall in any manner prevent or endeavour to preterit any such traffic managers from having such access or front making any such copy or extract as aforesaid, he shall for e/ery such offence be liable to a penalty of not exceeding fifty pounds." The remaining clauses principally provide for technical amendments of the existing dock acts, and amongst other matters the time is changed for a revision of the list of dock electors. This important bill, should it become an act, is to be known by the short title of " The Mersey Docks ;Corporation Purchase) Act, 1861."

In passing sentence Mr. Preston, Ale presiding magistrate, said it was parents' duty to assist constables to take their offending sons into custody. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE.

The cases in the hospital included 37/ fever cases and 28 itch cases.—A letter from the Work house Visiting Committee was read. It called attention , to the peculiar condition of persons in workhouses suf fering from incurable diseases; suggesting that all per sons " suffering from acute and distressing diseases, such as dropsy, consumption, cancer, &c., be placed by them selves in wards apart, to be called the wards for male and female incurables. In these particular wards let private charities be admitted to introduce what ever may alleviate the condition of the inmates." The society offered to raise subscriptions to con vert the wards into comfortable hospitals. Under the sanction, and with the co-operation of the surgeon, they would provide good beds for the bedridden, easy chairs for those who cannot lie down and for those who ought to leave their beds daily for some hours ; the salaries of trained nurses if required , and lemonade, extra tea, books, &c., and other trifles desirable. After some conversation the consideration of the letter was postponed ; and on the motion of Mr. Denton, the governor was desired to make a return of the incurable cases in the hospital.—A conversation occurred with respect to the flour supplied by Mr. Phillips, the con tractor.
