THE MERSEY DOCK BOARD. The Dock Board met as usual at one o'clock, yesterday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair The other members present were—Messrs. Hutchison, Boult, Arnold, Rounth waithe, M'lver, Moss, Inman, Segar, Brocklebank, Anderson, Shand, Rankin, Tobin, Smith, Littledale, Graves, Hubback, Bold, Lockett. Mr. Brocklebank moved the confirmation of the proceed ings of the works' committee, which did not contain any- thing of pablic hr portance tbback moved that the warehouse committee's s be confirmed, which was also agreed to. proceeding CO'NINITTTEE , The proceedings of this committee contained a report from the engineer, that the dock lulu of telegraph was now complete, and in readiness for use, and that the instru ments were perfectly competent to transmit messages. A letter was received front Mr. Bright, Secretary to Maemetic Telegraph Compan) • - the . offering to take charge of tae management of the - itolyhead and dock line of telegrapk. It was resolved that Mr. Bright be informed that the mode to be adopted in working of the telegraph along the line of docks was then under consideration. In reference to the resolution of the board referring the question of the management of the telegraph back to the committee for consideration, the engineer end the electrician were directed to prepare a report upon the cost of working a-singe line. Mr. Lockett, moved that the proceedings be confirmed. The motion passed without discussion. The proceedings cf the pilotage, docks and quays, and master-porters committees were confirmed. A letter was read from Admiral Evans, acting conservator of the Mersey, ealEng the serious attention of the board to the chevrous between Runcorn Gap and Bank Quay, Warrington, some of which had become islands of stone in the middle of'the channel, and occasioned great obstruction and danger to boats. Re ffered to have them removed, provided the board gave him authority aid paid the expense. The letter was referred to the marine committee. A letter from Messrs. W. and 11. Laird, asking whether it was the intention of the board to close wholly or partially the Egerton and Morpeth docks, Birkenhead, and when and for what period, as the trade of the writers would be put to great inconvenience by such a course, was referred to the works committee. A letter was read from Mr. Charles M'lver, stating that he understood the electric telegraph wires had been laid down between James-street and the Sandon-dock, and that a further outlay of £2 - 5 would complete the line to the west side of the Ruskisson-dock. In the event of the line beinc , thus completed, he begged to offer £lOO a year for the privilege of transmittinc , such messages as he should require until such time as the board should decide under what arrangements the line wastobe permanently worked. The letter was referred to the marine committee. A letter was read from Mr. W. T. M'Gowan, calling attention to the present condition of the badge porters. Mr. Graves gave notice that, on next Thursday, he would ask the chairman of the marine committee what steps had been taken with reference to the badge porters. They had been placed under the management of the marine committee, and, nevertheless, it now appeared that they were perfectly irresponsible and free from all control.. Letters from Mr. W. T. Curtis, omnibus proprietor ; and from Messrs. W. and D. Busby, omnibus proprietors, with reference to the running of omnibuses along the dock line of rails, were referred to the works' comwittee. TILE TIMBER TRADE The following letter was read from the timber trade : To the Chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbour 13 , ard. Sir,—We, the undersigned timber merchants and brokers regret to have to call your attention to an entire departure on your part from the agreement entered into with us by your minutes of 27th February and 25th March, 1858 When w understanding that the accommodation hitherto appropriated to us at the Huskisson Dock was to be reserved for the exclusive use of the trade, until equally good accommodation should be provided further North. . _ I to remo ear to the Canada Dock, it wa: on the e We have just discovered, to our great surprise, that you intend immediately depriving us of the greater part of the land at the Huskisson Dock for the purpose of making a Steam Dock. With out this land, it will not only be inconvenient, but impossible, for the timber trade to be conducted at the north end of the town. We are ready and indeed anxious to remove immediately provided you carry out strictly the agreement you entered into with us ; unless this is done. we cannot remove, and shall be glad to know what other arrangement the board has to propose under the altered circumstances of the case, We are, sir, your most obedient ser vants, Houghton, Smith, and Co.; James Bland and Co. ; Halhead, Fletcher, and Co.; William Anthony and Robinson ; Sharpies, Jones, ana Co. ; Duncan, Ewing, and Co. ; John Fazakerley ; Lloyd, Janes Ind Co.; A. H. and D. Mackey ; William Williams and Son ; William Rutherford ; James M'Murdo and Co. ; Hugh Pierce and Co —Liverpool, 29th June, 1839. At the suggestion of the Chairman, an extract was read from the proceedings of the works' committee of last Saturday, by which, it appeared that a letter having been submitted from the timber trade with reference to the removing of timber from the storage ground on the east quay of Huskisson Dock with which the new steam dock was to be connected, it was resolved that it be referred to the engineer, to endeavour to make the best arrangement in his power for the accommodation of the timber trade, drainage not being contemplated during the present season. The board were willing to pay the expense,. of removing such timber as it might be found necessary to remove for the ground of the new steam dock. Mr. Brocklebank believed accommodation would be found for the timber upon the east side of Regent-road, opposite its present storage ground. The Engineer said it would be arranged that the timber should only b be removed parcel by parcel, according as it was required, to clear the land for the purpose of making the new dock. Mr. Smith said he was not at all surprised at the letter addressed by the timber trade to the board. Many mem bers of the board knew the difficulty which had been felt in dealing with that very knotty question—the removal of the timber trade. For many years the question had been discussed; and he had consistently advocated the providing of accommodation at the north end of the town, and although he had made by so doing many enemies, and had been opposed in every direction by the trade for years, yet he never deviated trom that course, because he saw that circumstances were arriving which would work their own cure, and that the timber trade would, ultimately, find better accommodation than was possible at the south end of the town. He was not mistaken ; and the parties engaged in the trade were led at last too see the advantages of being unanimous. They saw that it was necessary to be unanimous in having the trade consentrated, so that it might be best conducted with regard to their own pockets. Clearly it was desirable for the interest of the board, that this should be so. When the trade had approached to something like unanimity, then they entered into communication with the board, and after many interviews, and a great deal of correspondence with the board, it was ultimately decided and a resolution passed, which was recorded upon the books of the board, that the land eastward of the Canada Dock, marked B , the land eastward °fele Huskisson Dock, markedri, the land which had been purchased from Mr. John Shaw Legit, eastward again, marked D, and E, these four plots of land, with the Canada Dock, half the east side of the Huskisson Dock should be appropriated to the trade, and that the trade should not be deprived of that land until other accommoda tion had been provided. When last year it was decided to go to parliament for borrowing powers to the extent of £300,000, principally to provide accommodation for the water carriers, he maintained that there was no idea enter tained of commencing the new steam dock, until there had been new land made to the northward by their excavations which could be appropriated to the timber trade. They had now decided that that dock was to he commenced, and he knew that the timber trade would take action upon it. They had therefore now a very difficult question to deal with, as the board stood in the position of having as it were, pledged themselves to aupropriatesertain accommodation to the timber trade, on which condition the trade unanimously agreed to go there, and then, after the trade had taken land there, and the board had begun to build offices for them, the board already proceeded to deprive them of a portion of what had already been appropriated to them. He main tained that if the board took the land to the eastward of the Huskisson Dock, they would not have storage ground for the timber trade that year, and that the trade were per fectly right in saving it would be impossible to remove them. It looked very like Caving got the trade upon false pretences to take the land upon the eastward of the Canada Dock, and then turning round and violating the conditions upon which the unanimity of the trade had been obtained. Mr. Inman contended that the real facts of the case were that the plans of the new steam-dock were laid before the deputation of the timber trade ; aLd, when the board went t o parliament, the steam trade were put in the fore-front of the battle. In the committee of the House of Commons, the reasons given for the additi ona l requ i rements of the board were the increasing wants of the steam trade, and the steam trade witnesses were put first, and all the gentlemen w ho attended from the timber trade heard their evidence. It ca me to the knowledge of the Steam A ssoc i at i on that the timber trade were going to oppose the making of the stead).- dock; and he (Mr. Inman) was present at t illeetilig of the Steam Association, at which it was resolved that, unless the requirements of the steam trade were met, they would oppose the bill throu'hout in parliament. Mr. M•lviiasked whether it was the fact that that piece of ground was pledged to the timber trade. The Chairman said, there was an understanding that the timber trade should not he deprived of their accommodation until other accommodation had been provided for them. But he understood, in the progress of the matter, that the timber trade would not object that was the sort of tacit understanding—to the dock being made there, the incon venience being very temporary, because other land would be in progress by the excavations taken out of the land, and, in the meantime, other arrangements could be made for their accommodation. He did not think it desirable to discuss the matter any further at the board at present. The works' committee were very anxious to do everything they could for the timber trade, and he thought the committee and the surveyor together would be able to satisfy them by giving i them such accommodation as was necessary, w ith ou t nter fering with what was due to the steam trade. The letter was then referred to the works' committee. This concluded the general business. -'...^- FLOWER SHOW: Yesterday, the Liverpool Floral and Horticultural Exhi bition Society held their second exhibition of the season in the Botanic Gardens. The day was all that could be desired for the occasion,•and the show has not been surpassed in any former years. In each department there was an abun dance of sweetness and beauty even to satiety. From the gaudy grandeur of the pelagoniums, the brilliant hues of the graceful fuchsias, the motley group of rare and variegated plants, the eye turns with pleasure on the soft sweet green of the ferns and mosses ; and then, refreshed, it turns away to behold and draw forth all the powers of admiration upon the pansies, the heaths, the baskets of plants, the devices of flowers, the collections of cut flowers, the tasteful hand boquets, and the sweet roses that scatter their fragrance so lavishly, and make the admirer stay to breathe their grateful odour. From the flowers the visitor proceeds to the fruit department. Here the temptation to eat forbidden fruit was as great, we believe, as could have existed in the Garden of Eden, but there was this great difference, that more mortal eyes would be fixed on the Eve who would put forth her hand to commit the sin. There were grapes, both black and white, in large and luxuriant bunches, strawberries in melting sweetness, luscious peaches and nectarines, and sweet cherries, currants, and goeseberries,—all of the finest growth, besides apples and pears. In the vegetable department there was a fine display of cauliflowers, peas, onions, new potatoes, carrots, and turnips. In this part of the building there was also exhibited some beautiful specimens of wax flowers. The show was opened at two o'clock for public admittance, and the tent was soon filled with specimens of nature's handiwork, as interesting as those to which we have been adverting. Young ladies of rank and beauty arrived in great numbers, who came to " admire and be admired," and many were accompanied by young gentle men, who, no doubt, performed the double service, There were ladies there, too, who " boasted a mother's pride," and did not mar the scene. Pater and mater familial, with their happy children, were eager in their admiration of the excellencies of the show. With this varied and extensive patronage, the exhibition must have proved a successful as well as an excellent one. PRIZES CLASS L-GROVPS OF PLANTS HEATHS.—Six specimens : 1, A. Fairrie, Esq., W.

The sales to-day were 8,000 bales, in cluding 1,500 on speculation and for export. The Liverpool Share Market has been very buoy ant to. day, and, with a good business doing, prices have advanced considerably. The follow ing are the transactions :-Chester and Birken head, 741, 741, 741, 741 ; Lancashire and York shire, 921, 93, 931, 931, 934 ; London and North Western, 901, 901, 901, 901, 91, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911; 911, 92 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 361 ; Midland, 100, 991, 99a, 99 4 , 100 4; Dovers, 201, 20 5-16, 20 7-16, 204, 20 7-16, 201, 20 11-16 ; St. Helens Canal and Railway Company's Shares, 130. The following were the closing prices :- Chester and Birkenhead 741, 741 ; Caledonian, 80, 801 ; Eastern Counties, 11 - 5-16, 11 7-16 ; East Lancashire, 90, 91 ; Great Northern, 99, 100 ; Great Western 56, 564; Lancashire and York shire Stock, 931, 931; London and North Western Stock, 911, 921; Ditto one-eighth shares, 1 9-16, 1 7-16 d; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 364, 361 ; Midland Stock, 100, 1004 ; North British, 55, 56 ; North Staffordshire, 41, 4 d ; North Eastern -Berwick, 88%, 891 ; YOrk and North Mid land, 72, 721 ; Leeds Capital Stock, 45, 454; South Eastern and Dover, 201, 20 11-16 ; Buffalo and Lake Huron, 44, ; Dutch Rhenish, 64, 61 d; Great Western of Canada, 141, 141 ; Do. New Shares, 5%, 51 d; Great Luxembourg, 5 7-16, 5 9-16; Grand Trunk of Canada, 84, 81 ; Lombardo-Venetian, 1, 11 d ; Do. New Shares, 11, 1 d. Although the demand for accommodation has increased, there are some parties who look to the Bank reducing its rate of discount to 21 per cent., before the revival of speculation in trade and in joint stock projects shall again produce a permanent reaction in the tendency of financial affairs. The slight alteration now apparent in the money market, which a few days since was singularly inactive, is con sidered merely of a transient character, attributable to concurrent circumstances, which at the end of each half year usually occasion greater activity among those engaged in discount operations. The bullion, although considerably above the average is steadily increasing, and the Bank directors have been unable to maintain the stock of Securities in their portfolio, owing to the keen competition out of doors. The abundant resources of the market enable the Dis count houses to secure the majority of the bills which the public desire to negotiate. When Conti nental politics assume a more favourable form, and a cessation of hostilities takes place, there may be some probability of such an extension of speculative adventure as shall bring into use a considerable pro portion of the resources now available, and an upward tendency may then be anticipated in the value of accommodation. The Market for the Public Funds and Securities was more active to-day, and prices were decidedly improving. Consols closed at 924 to 93. Exchequer Bills at 22 to 25 ; Bank Stock, 219 to 221, and the New Threes at 93 to 931. The London Railway Share Market was extraor dinary buoyant to-day, the settlement indicating a great scarcity of stock. A rise of no less than 11 per cent. has taken place in London and North Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire Stocks. The following were the closing prices :-Ambergate, Nottingham, and Eastern Junction, 5%; Caledo nians, 801, 801; Eastern Counties, 561, 561 ; East Lancashire, 90, 92 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 701, 711; Great Northern, 100, 1001 ; Do. A., 81, 83 ; Great Westerns, 551, 561 ; Great Western of Canada, 144, 141 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81, 81 ; Great Southern and Western, 1044, 1051 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 931, 94 ; London and North Western, 921 ; London and South Western, 92, 93 ; Leeds Northern, 451; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire, 261, 261; Midland Stock, 1001 ; North British, 541, 551; South Eastern and Dover, 684, 69 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 881, 891; York, and and North Midland, 721, 731. The Liverpool Produce Markets are very quiet. The transactions in Sugar to-day were only 50 hhds. grainy Demerara at 445. 6d., and 420 bags Benares at 445. per cwt. Of Molasses, 160 puncheons Deme rara have been sold at 14s. 6d per cwt. We have nothing to notice in Rum or Coffee. 500 bags Bengal Rice (part of 1,000 bags offered in public sale and withdrawn,) have since been placed at 12s. per cwt. Of the seeds also offered by auction this morning, 1,000 bags Bombay Linseed have since been sold at 495., and 900 bags Rape at 50s. for Guzerat, and 425. 6d. per quarter for good brown Bombay. At the annual meeting of the South Australian Company a report was presented, stating the annual profit for the year to be 27,2371. 8s sd, out of which the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The profit on the land sales had been 1,7851., which had been carried to the gene ral account. After some discussion the report was agreed to, and also the dividend as proposed. The usual vote of thanks was passed to the directors, and the proceedings terminated. The numerous holders of the New Indian Loan who have paid up in full complain a good deal of the delay, in the issue of the Debentures. The last annual drawing of Bonds of the Turkish Six per Cent. 3,000,000/. Loan of 1854 took place on the sth July, 1858, when the amount of Bonds drawn was 33,7001. Their payment at par took place on the 10th October. At the period referred to the quotation of the Stock was nearly 96. Upon the present occasion the bonus to those holders whose Bonds may be drawn will be still larger. About 12,0001. in Australian gold, making a total of 162,0001. since the date of the last return, was yesterday sent into the Bank. The steamers Hercules and Kief have arrived at London from St. Peters burgh, with 100,000 half-imperials, or 80,0061., and the Atrato at Southampton from the West Indies, with about 240,0001. in gold and silver. Much, surprise is expressed at the extraordinary delay in the arrival of the Calcutta and China mails, the light portion of which was due at Marseilles at the end of last week. As previously mentioned, they reached Aden on the 16th instant, per the steamer Alma, and a brief summary of their contents, trans mitted through the Red Sea Telegraph, was brolight to Marseilles by the last Bombay packet. In the event of the Alma's machinery having become de ranged on the passage from Aden to Suez, the steamers which are to bring the two portions of her mails on from Alexandria would of course be de tained at that port. On Saturday, another steamer is due at Marseilles with the light portion of the mails from Bombay and Australia, so that some infor mation will probably soon be furnished respecting the cause of the delay, which has produced much inconvenience. The suspension o f t h e te l egrap h service between Malta and Cagliari of course pro longs the period of uncertainty. The Brazil and River Plate mails, by the steamer Tyne, are expected to be distributed in London on Monday next. The Indian Queen cleared from Melbourne on the 12th March for Liverpool, with 2,506 ounces of gold. She struck on an iceberg April Ist, in latitude 60S. and longitude 69 W. Th e cap t a i n, toge th er with some of the crew, left in the lifeboat, considering it prudent to quit the ship, and it is presumed that he took the gold with him.

The report was adopted. The Funds to-day show renewed firmness. Consols rose in sympathy with the Paris Bourse.

The account for the quarter made up yesterday, is of a very favourable character, showing a general increase of about £200,000, notwithstanding the loss arising from the fall in the rate of income-tax from 7d. to sd. In customs the increase - is about £230,000. The excise shows an increase of about £320,000 Land and assessed taxes, post-office, and crown lands, will yield a small increase of about £50,000 on the whole. In " Miscellaneous Items" there will be an improvement to the extent of about £150,000. Thus there will be a total increase in the above heads of revenue of about £760,000. Against this, we have to report a falling off of about £120,000 on stamps, and about £420,000 on income-tax ; leaving a nett increase on.the whole account for the quarter of rather more than £200,000. The account for the year now ending (June 30), shows some important results. Thus, on income-tax, there is a loss of upwards of £4,000,000, owing to the collection for the year being at an average of 6d instead of 100, in consequence of the variations of the rate. In every other branch of revenue, the year's account yields increased receipts, as follows : Customs Excise Stamps Land and Assessed Taxes Post-office Crown Lands (about) Miscellaneous Items (about) The above increases reduce the net loss on the year to about £1,200,000, thus making up about £2,800,000 of the loss sustained by the reduction of the income-tax.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE The grave complication of affairs on the continent of Europe checked the improvement perceptible in the beginning of April, and discouraged speculative operations, particularly for the rise. Since then, apprehensions that the area of the war may extend beyond the boundaries of Italy, and bring into the field the whole Germanic Confede ration, have aggravated the stagnation felt in all the Pig Iron markets. Meanwhile, the business transacted has been on a very moderate scale, home and foreign buyers purchasing only for immediate requirements, and the prices have gradually fallen (with an occasional slight rally) from 52s 6d to 47s—the lowest price touched since 1852 - averaging in April 51s 3d, May 48s 4d, and in June 48s per ton for Mixed Numbers. While those prices are below the cost at which Pig Iron can now generallebe produced, a few of the largest makers have been demanding and obtaining 2s to 3s per ton higher for small quantities ; still the production has not , yet been curtailed, but, on the contrary, the make in the last quarter has reached 240,000 tons, and shows, when compared with the-preceding three months, an increase of 8,000 tons- The shipments and local consumption during the same perio4 was 23,000 tons. There has therefore been only 10 , 00(r tons added to the stocks, which are now 330,000 toot , exclusive of Carron. This accumulation in stool; arises chiefly from the falling off in the exports to Germany. The Malleable Iron Works and Foundries in the district hat, been generally actively employed, and are experiencing' an accession of orders, especially for shipbuilding purposes, for Russia, and the recently opened markets in the East. With the Board of Trade returns affording evidence of the general trade of the country being placed on a sound' foundation and steadily progressing—with money cheap and most abundant in supply—with the price of iron about 10s per ton below the average of the last seven years, with most of the foreign and colonial markets bare of iron, and with all the elements for a large and prosperous commerce, a speedy and substantial recovery from the existing depres sion may be anticipated. Subjoined are the prices of to day :—No. 1 Gartsherrie, 50s 9d ; No. I Glengarnock and Coltness, 50s ; Nos 1 and 3 G.M.8., 48s mixed Nos. warrants, 48s ; Ayrshire brands, 48s 3d ; East Coast brands, 48s for mixed Nos. ; bars £7 to £7 10s ; plates, £8 15s; rails, £6 7s 6d to £7 ; railway chairs, £3 17s 6d to £4 2s 6d ; iron pipes, £4 15s to £5 lOs per ton.

The children had been playing in a narrow arched and rapidly descending tunnel, only wide enough to allow a coal train to pass, when a set of waggons came down at the moment of their play. There was room enough to allow the train to pass, and the children had apparently placed themselves against the wall for that purpose, but unfortunately the guard had placed a wooden bar in one of the wheels to act as a " brake," and the whole of the children were struck by it and fearfully mangled. The head of one was struck off, and the bodies of the others presented a woful spectacle. No blame if s attached to the guard. CA ♦r EL PE At Al El PI Al A!
