MERSEY DOCK BOARD, The weekly meeting of this Board was held att one o'clock yesterday ; Charles Turner, Esq., in the chair. The. other members present were—Messrs. Brocklebank, Graves, Rankin, Inman, Mondell, Forwood, Segar, Hub ,, back, Arnold, Bold, Tobin, Anderson, M'lver, Langton, Farnworth, Boult, Evans, Smith, and Locket. WORKS COMMITTER. The committee recommended that the following tenders be accepted :—Messrs. Price and Carter, for ladder poles and boat-hook shafts; Messrs. Gilbert Harrison and Bro thers boat-book shafts and Baltic poles; the tender of the London and North-Western Railway Company of a locomo- ' Live engine for £4OO, and of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company for two engines, for £650 and £550 respectively ; and of Messrs. W. G. Armstrong and Co. of hydraulic machiney and steam engines, in connection with the great float at Birkenhead, for about £20,000. The committee had considered the resolution submitted by the Steam-ship Owners' Association in reference to the width of the pro posed steam dock in connection with the Huskisson Duck, and had invited Mr. M'lver, the chairman of the Association, to an interview. A letter having been :read from the Birkenhead Railway Company with reference to arrangements for carrying their goods traffic during the time the great float should be run dry ; the committee recommended that the necessary conveniences, as shown upon plans submitted, be constructed as required during the period the great float should be dry, at a cost of about £5,000. Mr. Brocklebank moved that the proceedings be con firmed. Mr. Smith seconded the motion. Mr. Boult asked whether they were legally bound to snake this accommodation for the carriers on the other side of the water. He did not think those car r i ers h a d g i ven .• . • . a The Chairman said, they must compensate the company for any inconvenience, if they did not pay them in some shape or other. There was considerable doubt upon the question, and that was thought the best means of dealing with it, Mr. Brocklebank said, the cost would probablybe actually only about £3,000, as some of the works would become available to the board afterwards. • The pro° edings were then confirmed. WAREHOUSE' COMMITTEE The proceedings of this committee did not touch upon any subject of public importance. Mr. Hubback moved that they be confirmed, which was agreed to without discussion. MARINE COMMITTEE. Mr. Mondell moved that the pr oc eedings of this com mittee be confirmed. Mr. Tobin said, it was some time ago promised that the question should be brought before the board for considera tion, whether the working of the electric telegraph wires should be retained in the hands of the board, or placed in the hands of a company. It was also a subject of consideration whether the telegraph could not be made very serviceable, not only to the board, but to the public generally. He entertained a strong opinion himself, that it would be a very great service to the public if the telegraph were in the hands of some public body, which would work it not merely for the benefit of the dock estate, but for that of the town generally. He understood that a company would be quite willing to communicate all matters of interest to the dock estate, free of all cost, and that they would then work it, of course with the hope of profit to themselves, for the public generally ; and that payment would be made to the board in consideration of the expence of laying the wires. But whatever the board might determine he thought the question ought to be considered at a very early period. He thought the time had clearly arrived when the marine committee ought to take the opinion of the board as to how the telegraph should be worked. lie did not mean now to ask the board to express any opinion upon the subject, but he thought the question ought to be brought before them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Mondell said, when the proper time came the board would be asked to consider the subject. Mr. Tobin : When will that time be ? Mr. Mondell : When the works are complete not yet got all the wires We have Tobin : What earthly difference can it make whether the wires are actually completed or not, to the consideration of, how, when completed, we shall work them ? Mr. said, he intended sending in a requisition to the marine committee, asking the board to allow him one of the wires. (Hear, hear.) Some four or five years ago, before he left for Malta, he had had a plan before him, and if he had remained in this country he would have bad a line in operation to the Hnskisson dock, under-ground. He could state the amount which the construction would have cost him ; and the expense of working it wonld have been £l5O a-year. The only difficulty was that he could not carry it across the gates of the Huskisson dock. Now, if the wires were to be let out, he should very much like one to himself. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman :. So would every one else, probably. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. M'lver said, the wires might be made a source of considerable revenue to the board. The Chairman quite agreed with Mr. Tobin, that the qhestion ought to b e b roug ht b e f ore th e board, and decided at an early period ; but he thought they had better not discuss it just then. He had himself a very decided opinion upon the point, as probably most other gentlemen had. Mr. Mandell said, the committee proposed to have six wires. He believed the customs would require one ; the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees applied for another; Mr. M'lver would require one ' • the public would want one ; and the board another—that disposed of lave out of the six. Mr. Bold could not see why one wire would not work the whole of the messages—for the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, for Mr. M'lver, and for every body else. Mr. M'lver said, if he got one of the wires, he must have it to his own office. It was finally agreed that the marine committee would, at an early period, bring the subject before the board, for a formal consideration. The proceedings were confirmed. The proceedings of the pilots', docks and quays, and committee were confirmed without any master-portere discussi or A letter was read from lir. Price Edwards, collector of customs, suggesting to the board the propriety of their appointing sworn measurers of corn for tile port. Mr. Hubback did not think it was the duty of the board to make such an appointment. The Chairman thought it came neither within the duty nor the power of the board. Mr. Graves thought such a class of men very much wanted; as between the shipowner and and the merchant, and suggested that they might be licensed by the board. The Chairman said, they might appoint men, but it would be at the option of parties to employ those men or not. The board would have no power to swear them, and, in the opinion of the solicitor, would not even have the power to license them After a brief conversation, the subject dropped without any motion being proposed. NOTICES OF MOTION returns of any kind, required from t owners, chart signees, brokers, agents and clearing ofexportin r persons acting in th e loading ships, and also asrespects the cargo of any i mport i ng sh i ps, shall be such as are necessary for protection to the dock estate, in the collection of its dues upon goods ; and that the officials of the dock trust be re strained from requiring information or returns productive of trouble and inconvenience to the public, but which are not strictly necessary for the protection of the interests of the dock estate." The latter clauses in the notice elicited some laughter. Mr. Bold (Pave notice of the following motion for next meeting; ---"'That the plan of applying electricity to the clock in the Victoria Tower, in connection with the time ball, as recommended .by Mr. ilartnup, be at once adopted." Mr. Graves gave notice of the following, also, for the next day :—" That it be an instruction to the works com mittee to keep in permanent repair the marks painted upon the dock walls." This concluded the general business. CUItIOUSLY LOST AND Ot: . ti°l33LY POUND About five 'ears ago a gentleman resoling in t h e ~ • n his pi g of lost a valuable signet ring i Is i.g stye.

The attendance also included Messrs. Sheil, Hodson, Beckwith, Gladstone, Crosthwaite, Anthony, Avison, Barton, Stitt, Haydock, &c. REPORTS. The borough engineer, building surveyor, and inspector of nuisances reported various particulars of the operations in their several departments during the week, from which it appeared that 120 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken to remedy them ; 757 houses in the unhealthiest districts, containing 2,453 apartments, and 667 cellars, had been put under examina tion, with the view of improving their sanitary condition, and 186 lodging-houses had also been examined and reported upon. HE/lint OF THE TOWN, The medieatofficer reported that, in the week ending the 7th inst., the mortality of the borough was lower than in any week of the two preceding years. The deaths were 183, being 30 less than in the previous week,. and 48 less than the average of the eorrespondmg week in the preceding ten years corrected for increase of population, Deaths in the parish, 118 ; and In the out-townships, 45; from zymotic diseases 34 deaths were registered against 45 in the week previous.

A recommendation of the sub-committee; that Mr. Melly obtain permission to erect good oak seats in the following localities, viz. :—One or two omßrownlow-hill opposite.the Workhouse; two in Smithdowni-lane ; one in Hope-street ; one in net-lane; one or two in Sonth Redford-street ; one at the top of Park-hill ; and; two new ones in lien' of the . present seats in Crown-street, create& consideraMe discussion. Mr. Gladstone inquired of the Brffough Engineer whether the seats were at all necessary ? He really could' not see why the public streets should be obstructed. rt was stated by other members of the committee that severai - complaints had been made, that these seats were used for- improper purposes, ultimately the consideratiou'of the reetTarnenda tion was postponed until next week. THE BUILDING AG-I` The Building Surveyor read over a number of clauses, which, it was agreed, should be carried into effect against those who broke the Building Act. Mr. Gladstone said, that it ought to go forth that the town-clerk had found out a law which authorises tie town surveyor to interfere with a building which had beentrected, although Mr. Stewart averred in the council that no such law was in existence. Mr. Stitt called attention to a house at the corner of Hugh-street, West Derby-road, which projected out into the street, and was built contrary to the act. The Surveyor said that the facts, with respect to that house, were these : The house was built by a person who had since gone to America. The present owner of the premises took them for a bad debt, and, when lie was proceeded against, the magistrates fined him in the sum- of £lO. Ultimately, on the motion of Mr. Beckwith, it' wa; agreed that the town-clerk be directed to take proceedings against him for the purpose of compelling him to conform with the act. "THERE IS A GOOD TIME COATING FOR OCEAN' STEAM-TRANSIT." TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN Sir,— Upon the 28th of September, last year (1858), you did me the honour to publish in your valuable paper, my letter, under the head of " Ocean Steam-ships," in which I asserted " twenty miles per hour" was prcticable at sea. I expected to have had some comments upon that statement, which either embraced a " gross absurdity," or a " prac tical" fact. That the opinion is entertained by others, I have only to refer to the vessels now building by Messrs. Palmer and Co., of Jarrow, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, and also Messrs. Samuelson and Co., of Hull (both parties for the Galway line), have agreed to produce the speed I had, some time previous-" to their contracts, named." May I inquire what is, or what will Liver pool do in the matter of " speed," &c., in ocean steamers? My practical knowledge is at their service. I hereby take leave to make a broader assertion I will undertake to prove to any engineering firm, or steam-ship company, or individual or individuals, who would provide me with a steamer, that I can produce the speed referred to ; and, also, effect a saving in fuel equal to forty per cent. upon the ordinary consumption of fuel. In conclusion, for the benefit of parties interested in steam property, I take leave to say, that we are just upon the eve of such changes in its commercial value, as shall amply repay them for past trials and difficulties, and prove the correctness of my motto, that " There is a good time coining for Ocean Steam Transit."—Your's, &c., ENGINEER. " Pompey, " said a good-natured gentleman to his coloured man, "I did not know till to-day you had been whipped last week:" " Didn't you massa ? " replied Pompey, " I knowd it at the time. " THE AMERICANS.—The women of America are, beyond all comparison, superior to the majority of men in ap pearance and manners, particularly in the chief towns, the society of which gives the tone to the country at large. They possess an ingenious and easy air, which is nearly equivalent to the good breeding of Europe. Their coldness, so much complained of, is less of manner than of feeling. They are generally educated, in the common acceptation of word ; but t 1 system' _ .hey are taught by is amistaken mixture of the pedantic and the superficial. On a slender foundation of Latin they raise a slight superstructure of modern languages ; but soon forgetting their classics, they too often speak English ungramatically, and they have but little knowledge of the others. Writing and arithmetic are the strong points in female education. Most American women are excellent accountants, and many of them display handwriting (or, as they always call it, chirography) that would do honour to - a counting-house clerk, and looks as rertilar and stiTium ,r__„ ay turn for light literature. They have much acquaintance with history or other serious reading, and but a smattering of many scientific things picked up from casual lecturers. They are taught the usual accom plishments of the sex. They are ordinarily but poor musicians, and know little of drawing, but they dance well rers, con- 1 World.

Mr. E--- was accordingly .called upon to make acknowledgment before the school, or be expelled. Whereupon the said Mr. E---- arose, and said :---" I prefer by all means making an acknowledgement, to being expelled from school ; and I acknowledge that I walked with the lady mentioned, and with my umbrella protected her from the storm ! I also acknowledge that bad I not done so, she might have taken cold, and a serious illness, or perhaps a consumption, might have been the result, in which case I should have blamed myself, and my teachers knowing the circumstances, might also have blamed me." -- The studeit resumed his seat with about as strong evidence of contri tion in his countenance as was in the confession, and when a pro Per opportunity occurred, he inquired of one of the teachers how near a-ypung lady a gentleman could walk, and not break the rides of the school. "Well," said the teacher, " walking a distance of six feet from a lady would not be considered an infringement of our regulations:' Soon after, Mr. E--- was seen walking leisurely on the common, with a lady, he having hold of one end of a light pole, measuring six 'feet in length, while his lady had hold of the other end ! As they carried about the stick (which in fact was no impediment to their enjoyment), they chatted and walked and laughed, and walked and laughed and chatted to their h ear t s ' content, but Mr. E-- wtAS flyer callod upon to make but one acknowledgment; MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening. The Liverpool Cotton Market has been very quiet to-day, and prices have entirely relapsed to the point at which they stood previous to Monday last, which is fully an eighth of a penny per pound under the prices paid on that day. The total business done has been 6,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for speculation and export. The Liverpool Share Market has been quiet to day, and prices must be regarded as nominal, though steady. The business actually done has been small, and comprises -Eastern Counties, 101; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 851 ; ditto, £9 Shares, 2 d; London and North-Western, one-eighth Shares, 1 15-16 d; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 331, 33; Midland, 931, 931 ; South - Eastern, 181 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 7 7-16.

The London Stock Market has again been buoyant, and in consequence of the scarcity of stock, quotata tions have still further improved. Consols, at one time, were quoted: at an advance of three quarters per cent., but they subsequently receded a little, and closed at about a quarter per cent. higher than the closing prices of yesterday.

The second quarterly sales of Wool commenced here to-day, in the Cotton Sales-room. Previous to the commencement of the sale, some conversation took place as to extra tare, in consequence of the imperfect packing of some foreign Wools. The quantity offered to-day was 1,840 bales, East India. The bindings were tolerably spirited, and all the lots were sold, with the exception of some few Peru and Chili, which were withdrawn. Messrs. Bowes Brothers' catalogue will be proceeded with to-morrow. Messrs. Hughes and Ronald furnish the following, ;-" Our Public Sales commenced this evening, consisting of 1,840 hales East India. There was a very full attendance of buyers, but all quatities have suffered a reduction, although not to the full extent which many expeeted. Long-stapled descriptions, however, may be quoted about IN per lb lower for the better qualities, since our last sales in January." report At the London Sales, to-day, Messrs.

(say Bs.) of annual income. The subscription offices are daily besieged by a long queue of small investors anxious to pour their savings into the lap of the state. Every body in any way connected with the government is expected to take part in this new national demonstration. Each subscriber who bona , fide wishes to take, say /,000f. of Rente, is thus impelled to apply for 4,000 f. or 5,000 f., by way of providing against the reduction which is sure to be made in the allottment. The sixty agens de change, or licensed stockbrokers, of Paris, have applied for an aggregate capital of some 1,360,000/. The residue of the gold by the Great Britain and Mermaid, from Melbourne, and by the Europa, from New York, was taken yesterday for transmission abroad. No bullion operations took place at the Bank.
