The consideration of the Dock Bill was resumed by the Select Committee of the House of Lords on Thurs day last, and concluded on Friday. It will be remem bered that the only points remaining for decision related first to the opposition of the Commissioners of Birken head, the object of which was to obtain a landing stage at George's Pier, for the exclusive use of the ferry steamers ; and next to the petition signed by 300 merchants, brokers, and others, represented by Mr. Eyre Evans, whose ob ject was to obtain powers for the erection of warehouses round all the dock quays. The Marquis of Northampton was chairman of the committee, all the members of which were present. The Dock Trustees were represented by Mr. Talbot, Mr. Austin, Mr. Sergeant Bellasis, and Mr. Venables ; the Commissioners of Birkenhead by Mr. Hildyard and Mr. Webster ; the merchants, brokers, • Szc., by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Bircham. On Thursday, Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS opened the case for the promoters of the landing-stage projected by Mr. Cubitt, to be moored off St. George's Pier. The Com missioners of Birkenhead had had the privilege conceded to them of opening their case. This question is so tho roughly understood in Liverpool, that there is no use in entering again upon its merits. It is sufficient for the present purpose to say, that by this enormous structure the Dock Trustees propose to accommodate all classes of steamers, and to enable passengers, carriages, and h orses to land at all times of the tide. Mr. Hartley and Mr. Mann were examined to show the advantages of the plin, after which the committee ad journed till the following day. _ _ _ _ _ _ Ou Thursday, Mr..fohn - B. Hartley, Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Bramley Moore, and Lieut. Lord were examined. Mr. Moore's evidence was principally directed against an al ternative clause proposed by Mr. BILDYARD, to the effect, that if the proposed landing stage were fixed off George's Pier, and it were found inconvenient for the ferry traffic, the Mayor of Liverpool, and the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions of Lancaster and Chester, should be empowered to decide what further accommodation should be given. _ _ Mr. HILDYARD then summed up the case for the com missioners of Birkenhead in a very neat speech, in which he contended that the stage might be safely and conveni ently moored off the sooth end of Prince's Pier, and where it would amply accommodate all the large traffic, whilst a smaller stage might be placed off St. George's Pier, for the traffic of the ferries, to which situation they were entitled. The learned counsel concluded by pressing two clauses on the committee; first, that the ferry traffic should be exclusively accommodated at St. George's Pier (Clause A) ; then if the committee decided against that clause, the alternative clause, that in ease the accommoda tion did not prove sufficient, the Mayor of Liverpool. and the Chairman of the Lancashire and Quarter Sessions should be empowered to authorize whatever further ac commodation might appear to them to be required. FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE GREAT WAREHOUSE QUESTION Mr. BluctiAlt then called the attention of the commit tee to the case of the petitioners, merchants, brokers, and others, who were represented by his learned friends Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and himself. Their lordships would recollect that on Friday last, certain suggestions were made by his learned friends on the other side, as fellow : ,—That the tru-tees should be bound within two years to Second,—That a clause should be inserted in the present bill to the effect that they should not construct the Wapping Dock, or commence it, before they had obtained those powers. That they should not take down any warehousrs, ex ses of the public streets. until the remainin his vet in lieu: was only 0 feet tiT ssis said it had be dence, that tl,e warehouses proposed to be erec ty of I Third cept for the pur the Albert Dock warehouses are completed. ccordance 'with these suggestions, they (the peti Ns tr embodied the substance of those propossls:' Their lord ships, however, thought the clauses were more stringent than was consistent with the suggestions; and in conse- quence of an application from his learned friends, that they might have time to consult the Town Council upon those more stringent clauses, and in reference also to the suggestions made by themselves, an adjournment took place. The petitioners had intimated to the promoters that they were ready to accept their proposals with very _ . slight modification indeed. It was that it should be left to their lordships to decide and determine whether the time for applying to Parliament for powers to build sme ll the dud; quays should be limited to two ensuing session But, as he found his learned friends had now altered their minds, he must call the attention of the Committee to the position in which the petitioners stood with regard to the proposals so made to them. No doubt his learned friends would now tell their lordships they had been before the Town Council, that the Town Councilhad sanctioned their proceedings, and that in consequence of the Town Council's interference, .ey were not prepared to carry their own proposals into effect. When the committee was adjourned, the promo ters were to apply to the Town Council in reference to the more stringent clauses which the petitioners proposed to embody in the bill ; and their. reference to the Town Council had nothing whatever to do with the suggestions ie more stringeni clauses. They (the promoters) would undoubtedly stae to their lordships that their position was altered since the time when their application for an adjournment bad been acceded to, in consequence of the Town Council having sanctioned their proceedings. The CIUIRMAN.-Or, rather, reversing them. But go on. Mr. BIRCH AM.—A resolution was passed by the Town Countil that the bill should stand, as follows—" Resolved, on the motion of Mr. Moore, seconded by Mr. Mann, that the special_ proceedings of the Dock Committee rela tive to the dock bill before parlidinent. finifiry this Coun cil as trustees of the Liverpool docks referred to the Dock Committee, be approved." After this he could not un derstand upon what ground his learned friends were pre pared to resist the offer which he now made to them. The CHAIRMAN.—What is the offer? Mr. BIRCIIAM.—The offer is to accept their proposals, leaving it to your lordships to decide whether the time should be limited to two years or the next session wherein they should apply for parliamentary powers to erect ware houses on all the dock quays. The CHAIRMAN.—It would be well to know at once whether the protboters stand by their original proposition of two years. Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS would state to their lordships the whole of what had taken place. So far from the Town Council of Liverpool having altogether approved of what had been done, they had disapproved of what he (Mr. Sergeant Ilellasis) had done.' He was not going, there fore, to quote that. He would, however, call their lord ships' attention to what he had suggested, because the promoters felt themselves in a different position to what he bad supposed, in consequence of an agreement with the warehouse owners, which agreement they thought would thereby be infringed. When he proposed that the pro moters should apply to Parliament within two years for powers to build warehouses, he did, most undoubtedly, in his words include all the dock quays. At that very time, there were persons in the room who immediately wished to say something; and he found he had out stepped his instructions, or misunderstood the parties who instructed him. An agreement had been made with the warehouse owners, which was comprised in two clauses of the act 4th Victoria, whereby it was required that the remaining one-third of the Albert Dock warehouses should not be commenced until a period which had not arrived, and that the trustees should not erect any warehouses until four years afterwards. He understood, at the time, that the warehouse owners had waved the who!e of that agree ment. This turned out not to be the fact, and he was mistaken. There were warehouse owners in the room [Mr. Birkett and Mr. Aspinall] who objected to the sug gestion on the spur of the moment, and who said that in what he had done he Hod gone beyond the agrep— --- .6- anent. I As far as his clients were concerned, they had consulted their constituents, who had passed a resolution concerning it, which he would read. This resolution was the one agreed to at the special meeting of the Dock Committee, on Monday last, (yesterday week,) and it recited that in the 57th and 58th clauses of the Act 4th Victoria, a certain agreement bad been made with the warehouse interest — that the warehouse interest had withdrawn the restrictions imposed by the 57th section, but not those in the 58th; and it then proceeded to resolve, that, in the opinion of the committee, any clau se proposed to be inset ted in the Dock Bill to alter the restrictions imposed by the 58th clause, should be resisted upon the ground that it infringed the protection intended by the legislature for the warehouse interest. His clients had, as he said before, been down to their constituents, who said to them, " If you did make such an offer, you went beyond your powers." His , clients, therefore, were now called upon to resist an in. fringement of the agreement with the warehouse owners, for the warehouse owners never intended that more than the 57th clause should be withdrawn—certainly not the restrictions in the 58th. The promoters, therefore, could not propose a clause which should over-ride an agree ment which they admitted to be binding and in force. They were, however, willing to submit to a clause not to proceed with the Wapping Dock until the whole of the warehouses round Albert Dock were completed ; second, not to pull down any warehouses except for the purposes of new streets until the same period ; and third, within two years to apply for parliamentary powers to build warehouses upon the quays of all the docks made sub sequently to the Albert Dock. Having made an agree ment with the warehouse interests his clients felt they were bound to adhere to it. Mr. TALBOT wished to add, that in point of fact the promoters found themselves unable to go beyond the point just stated by his learned friend, as a matter of good faith towards the warehouse owners, or to suggest any- cuing else. Their lordships should know that in dealing with the warehouse interest of Liverpool, they were not dealing with the interests of an insignificant class, but one in which it was not too much to say that millions were involved. The CHAIRMAN.—We cannot enter into those consi derations now. The committee, in considering this bill, must go upon public grounds, without refs parties who are not before us Mr. BIRCIIAM said tl his learned ft principal grounds upon which llght to back out of the 6u.- ds now sc Ives had mode, v is whom t tell the cc diately, in order to complete the Albert Dock quays, would be five times more than the space proposed to be pulled down. The CHAIRMAN said a good deal of contradictory evi dence had been given on this subject. Mr. BIRCHAM repeated his assertion, and added that what was now proposed by the promoters was in reality nothing. They now proposed a clause binding themselves to apply for powers within two years to build warehouses round all the docks made subsequently to Albert Dock, :whilst the fact was there was no necessity for such powers, inasmuch as there was no restriction upon them in this respect. The Chairman.—They must have an act to get the money ; they could not build warehouses round the new docks without money. Mr. BlRCHAM. — Undoubtedly, they must apply for powers to raise money to build them. But by this clause they merely apply to parliament for powers, whereas they had the power already. The learned counsel proceeded to argue that he was only contending for the propositions submitted by the promoters themselves, and concluded by calling upon the committee either to reject the preamble of the bill, or so much of it as related to the construc tion of additional docks ; or, if they decided upon neither, to do what was only an act of justice to the petitioners, viz., authorise the insertion of clauses which would carry out to the fullest extent the proposals made last Friday by the learned sergeant on the other side. Mr. TALBOT humbly suggested to the committee that interests were at stake on this bill far too vast and mo mentous to admit of being dealt with without the most serious deliberation. Their lordships would not, he thought, permit their decision to be the result of a casual mistake. It was clear that, from some cause, his learned friend, Mr. Sergeant Bellasis, had stated that which he was not authorised to state, and that which those who in structed him said was contrary to their own wishes, and contrary to their plighted faith to the warehouse owners. His learned friend seemed to have made—for he (Mr. Talbot) was not in the room at the time—a proposal with regard to all the docks, which he ought to have confined to all the docks erected subsequently to the Albert Dock. From this there was no wish to recede. It was but due to Mr. Moore to state, that the moment Mr. Sergeant Bellasis made the statement, he made an effort to commu nicate with their lordships, but it was resisted by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and their lordships thought it right not to hear him at that time. Lord CARRINGTON said be recollected observing this was the case. Mr. TALBOT.—If their lordships had heard Mr. Moore then, they would have beard a prompt disclaimer of the proposition of his learned friend. As the warehouse own ers were not present, or in opposition to the bill, and as the facts were as had been stated, their lordships surely would not behind their backs force clauses upon the promoters necessarily prejudicial to that important in terest. The clauses were necessarily prejudicial, because the promoters were willing to bind themselves to apply for powers to construct warehouses upon the quays of all docks made subsequently to the Albert Dock. His learned friend spoke of this offer as delusive ; but he could not have meant to say that the power of building ware houses round all the new docks was delusive, when it in cluded the new dock at Wapping ; besides which the pro moters engaged not to pull down or rather construct the Wapping Dock until they had obtained powers to build warehouses round all the new docks. Under all the circum stances he trusted their lordships would consider the question was, w other clause, till heftier, having inadvertent! ey were to be tied up to it, and snapped into much larger concessions, w' faith, and calculated to bP important interes ich :were :contrary' io good eriouslv prejudicial to a very The room was then cleared ; and, after an absence of half an hour, the parties were called in, when The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee have considered the whole of this question, and they have determined, — First, that the preamble of this bill is proved; Next, that they have passed the clauses, (proposed by Mr. 13ircham,) only they:make it imperativelfor the trus to come to Parliament for powers in two years instead and Third, that, believing the trustees will be anxious to re accommodation to the ferry traffic, and expressing vut aLrutig opinion that it is their duty to do so, the Corn mittee decline to insert the clause A or the alternative B relathe to the landing stage. All the clauses were then agreed to, and the bill orderec to be reported on Monday (yesterday). Tha Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry will assemble in Ches ter to-morrow, under the command of Col.

The foundation stone of " St. Mary Magdalen's Asy lum" was laid at Woolton, on Thursday, by Dr. Brown, " V.A." of the Lancashire district. On Saturday, Mr. Adam Gladstone was elected a member of the Dock Committee, in the room of Mr. Smith, deceased. Mr. Ritson was put in nomination, and polled thirty votes ; Mr. Gladstone numbering seventy- AUSTRALIAN WHEAT.—A bunch of Australian wheat was exhibited in the Exchange News-room this week. It was grown on the farm of Mr. Harold Littledale, Egre mont, and was sown in the first week of December. The length of the stalk is about five feet, and the ears are par ticularly fine and full. VALUE OF SOOT.—At a meeting of the master chimney sweeps, on Friday, resolutions were passed preparatory to the uniform scale of the rates at which soot will in future be charged, as the demand for that fertiliser is expected to be much increased in consequence of the discovery' by Professor Liebig that soot is a perfect antidote to - ihe po tato disease. PRINCE ALBERT.—The wish of the committee is. that the banquet may take place on Thursday, the 30th of July, and the laying of the foundation-stone of the Sailors' Home on the following day. The prince on the same day (Friday) is expected to open the Albert Dock. We have reason to believe that the proceedinze, throughout, will be on a scale of magnificence never before witnessed in Liverpool. Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo, has been orderd to provide a banquet for 250 guests. It is said that on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit to Liverpool he will visit Chester, and be the guest of the very Rev. the Dean (Dr. Anson.) GLASGOW PIG•IRON TRADE.—Note of the Shipments of pig-iron from Port-Dundas, Kirkintilloch, and Clyde, from Ist January till Ist May, 1846, including both fo reign and coasting vessels : From Clyde... ... Port Dundas . Kirkintilloch .. The above includes all the pig-iron sent to Grangemoutl in scows, or otherwise. Large quantities are shipped, especially to Liverpool, under the denomination of a gene ral cargo, which are not included in the above statement. CHEAP WHITF.WASH.—FoOr poor people, we quote the following cheap mode of whitewashing, viz. :—" Put half a peck of lime into a tub; pour in some water by degrees, and stir it well with a stick that is broad at one end. When the lime and water are well mixed, and the thickness of mud, strain it through a sieve into another vessel, when it will settle to the bottom ; skim off the little water that remains at the top, and when you are going to use it, mix it up with cold water to the thickness of thin paint." A small quantity of size, very thin, should be also added with it—or buttermilk will do. MR. ROWLINSON'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF ENGLISH SONG.—On Saturday evening, this gentleman gave a lec ture, with illustrations, upon the History of the English Ballad, at the Concert-hall, which, considering the ex treme heat of the weather was well attended. Mr. R. is new as an exhibitor of his attainments in public, this being his first appearance as a lecturer. He has, however, evi dently a large acquaintance with the principles and schools of English music, considerable power in placing his views before an audience, and sang most of his well-selected budget of melodies very tastefully. His next lecture, we observe, is to be upon the Scottish Ballad. THEATRE-ROYAL, ADELPHI.—The Misses Cushman have been engaged at this popular little theatre during the last week, and have performed some of their best im personations. Of the Romeo and Juliet of these ladies we have already spoken, as well as of the Meg Merrilies of Miss Cushman. We had an opportunity on Thursday of seeing the Lady Macbeth of the latter lade—an equally great performance with her gipsy woman. Miss Cushman pourtrays to admiration, and her figure and style afford her aids to do so, the stern and ambitious wife of the nor thern thane; and, in some portions of the piece, electrifies her audience with the Passion and startling power of her acting. Mr. G. V. Brooke's personification of Macbeth was, with a few inequalities and faults, a fine effort. SHOOTING AT A POLICEMAN.—On Friday, a stripling, who gave his name as James Maydew, was placed before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of attempting to shoot at police officer No. 625, on. the previous night. It appeared that at a late hour on the previous evening, the officer found the prisoner in Bootle-lane in the act cf dressing himself. in a shirt over his clothes. He entered into conversa tion with him, and he. not giving a satisfactory account of himself, the officer asked what he had in his pockets, when the prisoner said—" I'll let you know, you b—h." took out a pistol, and presented it to the officer, who knocked him down, and assistance being procured, he was deprived of his murderous weapon, which, however, proved to be loaded with powder only. In the pocket of the prisoner was found another pistol, and a hook entitled " The lives of all the notorious highwaymen and robbers." There was also found two pawn-tickets of goods pledged at Bristol, and in consequence of some dark hints lie had given about himself, be was remanded fora w ee k. WEST DERBY HOTEL AND BOWLING-GREEN.—On Thursday evening last, the opening of the howling-green attached to Mr. Fielding's, the Derby Hotel, Zoological Gardens, was celebrated by a number of gentlemen, friends of the host, by a dinner sumptuously provided by that gentleman, in the large and elegant room of the est blishment.
