Parliamentary papers relating to Syria were issued this morning. Sir H. Bulvier writes, at the end of June, that not a week had passed during the preceding twelve months that he had not called the attention of the Porte to the state .3f Syria. From these official accounts it appears that the Turkish Paellas connived at, if they did not encourage, the massacres. RAILWAY COLLISION, CoRK, July 26. The Ct)rk, Daily 1 - I , ,rald states :--" The down train of the Limerick Junction approaching the ter minus of the Cork Station on the Great Southern and Western Railway at half-past ten o'clock this morning, the pointsman, by some mistake, set the train on a Eliding part of the main line, where it came into collision with an engine on the siding. The train consisted of seven well filled carriages. A large itanber of the passen gers suffered conttisions on the back, face, and other parts of the body. The train was going at a slow rate, the speed having been lessened on entering the tunnel. No very serious injuries have been received." TRIAL OF HOLDEN FOR THE MURDER OF A FOLICENIAN.

All the naval officers en furlough have been ordered to report themselves without delay. The naval reserve is called out — that is, all the ships in ordinary are to be imme diately prepared for sea. The French fleet in the Mediterranean is to be increased to twenty sail of the line. The military preparations are also going on with unflagging activity. The Syrian expedition is to consist of 25,000 infantry, besides artillery and cavalry. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday :-- THE SYRIAN EXPEDITION. The Paris correspondent of the Times says the order for the embarkation of the troops has posi tively been countermanded , nr, 'ore enrrn.tly , speaking, their departure is for the present sus pended. France demanded to act in the East as the 'delegate of all the great Powers, and overtures to this effect were made to the English Government. The English Government offered no opposition to a delegated action, provided that Austria was to have part in it ; and to this France, probably at the instigation of Russia, is said to have demurred. Possibly it might have been represented that there was reason to fear the landing of *the first dozen of French soldiers on the coast of Syria would be the signal for a rising throughout Asia Minor, and ageneral massacre of the Christian population.

Firl GRANVILLE said that an inquiry was now in progress, and on its conclusion the Government would indicate the course they proposed to adopt. Replying to a question from Earl Fortescue, Lord DE GREY earn Itiror stated that the Government had it in consideration to grant an increased allowance to adjutants in volunteer e-ips ; but did not propose to make any grants for the payment of permanent sergeants, except in the care of those corps of mounted volunteers whose numbers were not sufficient to require the services of an adjutant. The present number of volunteers enlisted was 130,000 men.

The Earl of Ih.rENao.aocou proposed that a rate of id. in the pound should be levied at the discretion of the justices of the peace upon the different districts, in order to pay for adju tants, and other training expenses for the volunteers. Private subscriptions could not, be believed, be relied upon perma nently to make sufficient provision for this purpose. After some remarks from Lord liardinge and Lord Melville, Earl GRANVILLV maintained that it would be most destruc tive to the spirit of the volunteer movement to deprive it of its voluntary character. • The subj2et then dropped, and their Lordships acljotitied st thirty-live minutes past eight. .

Mr. Gxrgeer* asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Whether any proposition had been made to her Ma jesty's 'government by the special envoy of the Neapolitan government, lately arrived here, that the English government should join with the other Towers in imposing and elifercing, by the means at their command, an armistice for six months between the Neapolitan government and the Sicilian govern ment under Garibaldi ; and whether her Majeati'Sio'VeAm en t, have any intention of entertaining Any such Proposition. Lord J. RUSELL said that s before answering the question, he would complete his answer to a question en the Caine sub ject made en a previous occasion. The Aide-de-Camp to Garibaldi front the King of Sardinia bore a message proposing a truce with the Neapolitan force, and begging Garibaldi tot • to /take any attack on the mainland. This niusagt teat is perfect accordance with the views of ter !!4:etty's Govern ment. In reply to the immediate dilution, the Neapolitan Government - had requested tls mediation of Great Britain for the purpose of etepping the progress of Garibaldi, on the con dition that, if Garibaldi refused, the forces of France and England should be used to compel him to that proposition Her Majesty's Government had declined to mete. Lord PALMERSTON amidst some arnutenient moved that on all Tuesdays during the session, after the nex.t.Government, orders of the day should have precedence of notices of motion. Mr. B. Ditaaata Would not throw any difficulty in the way of the GoverstMent, but, in return,. thought that the Govern ment should chew itself more ready than it had done in facili tating the CIiSCUSEIOa of public measures. The delay 6f the Paper Duty Bit!, especially, would cause scriciiitinconvenience. He suggested that next Tuesday should be a Government night, and the bill then introduced'. Sir Mr To Fanti.t.th, Could only account for the delay in bringing forward the bill either by serious dissensions in the Cabinet, br grave complications with France. Other speakers declared their inability to understand why a bill of such importance was s'.elayed till the attendance of a WI house was impossible. Lord PALMERSTON said that in the face. of so many and each conflicting opinions, he thaald adhere to hit orlenil propo sition. Further discussion on the hilsiliesa of the House having ensued, Sir PAit , x,tiey protc , sted in his turn against the delay of Paper Diity Bill, which looked as if the Government was wait ing till the - Conservatives had left town.

The motion was seconded by Sir J. Elphinstone. Mr. S. HERBERT submitted that the proposition of the hon. member would neither benefit to any extent the persons whom he wished tofavour, nor the Indian army itstlf. A proportion of commissions without purchase was already alidtted, as a matter of right, to the orphans of officeiS and civil servants who had served in India. It was rlO advantage to any but the rich to give them the priVilege of purchasing commissions. He objected to liMit the grant of commissions to any particular class bn any pretext, upon the principle that the officers were made for the army, and not the army for the officers. Colonel Sykes, Sir De Laey Evans, and Sir E. Colbroolte, supported the resolution. After a few words from Sir C. Wood, tha Donee divided, and the resolution negatived by a majority of 73 to 15. Sir JAmes ELPHINSTONE moved that it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to make pYOvision for the futaire regulation, discipline, and iiatmnage of the European forces serving in firlia. th'e ton. Member entered at much length. into details respecting the management and discipline of the Indian artay, citing passages from the minutes of Sir J. Willotighby inA Sir James Anderson, and opposing the pro poaals for amalgamating the two armies. Sir De LACY EvANs seconded the motion, and commented upon the loose and reckless manner in which Indian questions were discussed in the House, and settled by the Government. Sir SIINTO FArieunAn defended the conduct of the Company's English soldiers, who bad demanded re.Lenlistment on being transferred to the' Queen's service. It was absurd and mon strous to term their proceedings mutiny, or rite them as justi refg the intr o d uc ti o4 of the bill before the House. He ended the resolution. Mr. ROEBUCK moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord PALMERSTON assented, observing that the 'Ministry attached great importance to the bill, and hinted that their patience was inexhaustible, and that they were ready to sit till Christmas. • Mr. HORSMAN inquired why the present bill was considered more important than those the Government had already ah doned.

Yewdegate, the deb a t e was adjourned until this (Friday) evening.

The weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday at the Dock-offices, Canning-place ; Mr. Chas. Turner presiding. The other members present were Messrs. Bushell,.

The proceedings of this thn4ittee included a recom mendation to let the laud adjoining the Canada Dock, appropriated for casual storage of timber, at the rate of three-eighths and three-sixteenths of a penny per square yard per month; and that appropriated for permanent storage at 6d. and Is. per square yard per annum—the rates to be revised at the expiration of twelve months. The proceedings also included a recommendation to pay £l2O claimed by Mr. Rimmer, and awarded by the arbitrators for damage sustained by him in consequence of the breaking of the Leasowe culvert. Mr. Bout thought the rates to bs charged to the timber trade were much too low. He did not know the value of the ground, be e t it scorned to hiri that ed. per senare yard SFr was otty making h the value of about lUs. d yard ; and he thought there was no land adjoining any of the docks which was not worth more than that. They had got 10d. per yard per annum for the land adjoining that which they were offering for 6d., and for casual occupation at a great deal less money. Mr. Luny said that in the committee he was one of the two who objected to the terms. He believed that in that neighbourhood the extreme rent was something like 45., and when the railway company applied, 2s. per yard was demanded of theni. They objet,thd t^ ray per yard while the timber trade Gniy paid 10d., but after a lodg discussion it was decided that they should not have the laud for a lower rent. He found that Messrs. John Naylor & Co., who were bringing to the Birkenhead Docks a valuable business, wore charged on an average Is. per square yard per annum for land at the extreme point. of tho ntricCnhcad estate. lie kllBl7 that the argument had been used that the timber trede, brought a large trade to the feet 'hy whieh the dock rates were increased, htit the timber trade had got the land at led. and he could not see why they should favour t&iii by allowing them to have the remainder of the land at is per square yard, when they asked the railway com pany 2s, which also benefited the trade of the port. lie opposed the recommendation oil these, grounds at the committee, and he certainly Should vote ateast it Ch that occasion. He bhlieved they 1; - , - ere sacrificing their property there fn a. evay Which they ought not to do. They lied already sacrificed it to the timber trade, for he believed they should get their price if .they chose to maintain it, instead of giving way to the clamour for further accommodation for the trade there. He should request that the board be divided upon the matter. Mr. DARRYSHIRE perfectly agreed with that Boult had said upon the subject, and theeilght the timber trade must have Softie inAdei:ce, which he had thought they cotAd possibly have. They wanted land for warehouses, and the land thus appropriated would be most valuable for the purpose. He was desirous of knowing how this land could be let for so small a sum, and unless he received a full explanation, should vote against the recommendation: Mr. Br:settee else agreed with Mr. Boult, Mr. Darbyshite, and Mr. Laird, and thought that they had not only let this land at a low rate, but that they had let all their land to the timber trade at a low ratb. lie was not in the minority whet tn., ';zieL before the com mittee, for the simple reason that it was urged that when they *lie allotting land to the timber trade they had occasion to reduce the quantity in order to meet the convenience of the Dock Board. There were 60,000 yards of land, of whieh 20,000 had been allotted et .the former rate, but the remaining 46,60, being in a bad condition, Was proposed to Le let at a low rate. It was urged thlt It would be necessary at the end of twelve months to revise the rates, so that the present was only a temporary arrangement; and he had a full conviction that at the expiration of the year a higher rate must be paid, in justice, for that land, The CHAIRMAN thought that in leohing at the tion respecting the thither trade sonic of the members of the Board had forgotten the difetinqthees under which the timber trick haa gone to the north end, and the circumstances in which the land was placed. The timber trade paid to the port a large amount of rates, and it was absolutely necessary that they should have a large quantity of storage ground. Before the timber trade went there they had a large quantity of land at the north end which they Were not likely to make.much use of fel- some years. They had also a large iaaitity of water space; and by the location of the timber trade there he, for one, expected that that estate would derive very great advantage while the land at the south end was released, and might be employed for other purposes. When they had led a trade of that kind to go to the north end of the town, under the =cote ram that the land would bo let to them on such terms as they had previously paid, he did not think it Woad be acting fairly to take portions of that land which was necessary for their purpose, but for which they could get an increased rental. Taking the whole of the ground together, he did not think they could do better than encourage the timber trade to locate themselves at that part of the town ; for if they did anything which would have the effect of driving the timber trade from that place, and perhaps from the port altogether, they would very seriously injure that estate. They Were well awake that this was not the Only port in Great Britain, for there were Gloucester and Hull, and other ports in the country where the timber trade could be accommodated. Mr. Laird had alluded to the railway company. The railway company would not have gone there at all but for the timber trade, and they had only gone there because they had brought a very large trade to the port, out of which the railway company expected to derive an advantage ; arid in which it was only right the board Should perticipate. lie might state that the two gentlenien (Mr. Smith and Mr. Laird) who voted in the minority at the committee did so for very different reasons. Mr. Laird thought the rate was too low, Mr. Smith considered it too high. That being so, ho thought, these two gentlemen, representing, very probably, extreme views on the question, the cominitte had decided rightly. Mr. Bushell had very rationally and very pro perly suggested that if they sledded upon these rates, they must be revised at the end of twelve Months ; and the majority of the committee assented to hate that appended to the recomniendatiou. If these rates were to be revised in twelve months, they treidd then have an I opportunity of taying whether the circumstances were such as would justify them in increasing or diminishing them. He begged they would consider whether they would let ten or fifteen thousand yards at a high rate and whether they would do that which might have the effect of driving the timber trade from the port. The steam trade would not occupy the whole of that space, and it would be scarcely keeping faith with the timber trade if they tried to get, for a small portion of the land, an increased rent. He therefore recommended them, at all events, to try the matter for twelve months. Mr. Everts protested against the constant use of the argument that the high rents beim *Mild drive the timber trade away from the port. He maintained that if they doubled, or even trebled the rents Te e l the timber trade, it Would not in the slightee,, degree inter fere with the trade of the rrt: Ire protested against this stalkin&-11911t being constantly iOrodliced. If they gave the timber trade illy advantages, they Were doing it at tee expense of the other trades. That board.*as literally under subjection to the timber trite, and the most fallacious arguments were constantly held out to justify the continual aggressions. If the railway company got the timber did they not confer an obligation upon the timber trade by giving them the facilities. The question was Whether they Were to money into the timb er therChants' pockets, e'r whether they were to take it away frOM the rails. y. The timber trade was as well title to teal it as the railway company. He had knoMi the trade of Liverpool longer than any of them, and knew that the Dock Board had never pre tended to find land for the timber trade ; but that trade was now getting obligations assumed that were not in existence, throwing the onus upon the trade of Liver pool, and getting land at one-third or ntie-fotlrlh the value which they ought to pay for it. Mr. roik.*O6 thoight that if they were about to let this land or a Permanency, there would be some force in the arguments Of 111 r. Evans, but they. ive" Cniy letting it for twelve months and ten, if . they had made it wrong sten, they'could put the matter on such a footing as Itedild be satisfactory. Z. SMITH said the question of the timber trade, as the members of that board knew, had been a vexed question for a long time. There *ere gentleilied it that board who ought to know the histky of that question, Perfectly evident that th ere were very f ew , et t s t e e s hist wiohn dutyo. d did t know ow alasya bf i ea t fcoappearedthat be board o da or b de k e silt.t committeesh ee history t o I r l y e but it was of fnl dt t the of some twelve or fourteen years ago, in their wisdom and foresight decided that the timber trade could not re main much longer at the south end of the town ; they saw that the property at that end must be brought into play for some other purpose, and the question was, how a trade of such importance, then paying to the dock estate something like £40,000, was to be provided for. They saw that the trade had been driven from the King's to the Queen's Dock, and from the Queen's to the Bruns wick Dock, and they then looked to the north end of the t ow n. Mr. Bramlcy-Moore was at that time chair man, and he, and those who acted with him, saw that in the interest of the dock estate, it was desirable that permanent accommodation should be provided, and that storage-ground, as well as dock accommodation, should be provided, for storage-ground was just as necessary to the timber-trade as, warehouse to general produce. He, at the same time, said that a heavy article like timber of immense bulk could not pay enormously extravagant rents. They went into a calculation and declared that they could provide etronger ground at the rate of 4d per sqiiare yard per annum. When Mr. Bram- Icy-Moore, then chairman of the board, went down to the Brunswick Dock to introduce Mr. Cardwell when he was a candidate for Liverpool, on the first occasion he made that statement. The timber trade, when they heard that, were perfectly ituaramo' us, and were delisyhtiA THE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1860. From the proceedings of the special committee appointed to confer with the War-office, with reference to the defences of the port, it appeared that a letter had been received from the War-office as to the sites to be .surrendered, and that the committee had resolved that, as the wall to the north of the Bootle landmarks was now completed, the site required should be at once sur rendered to the mar-office; that the site of the Salis bui:y Dock pier be siirmidcred for it fort., iti accordance witli the ijlati of 1658 ; that is to the SeacOmbe site required to be given up, as it was not quite the property of the board, it was desirable to obtain further informa- tion with regard to the requirements of the War-office on that proposal; and that the engineer be requested to prepare plans in accordance with the requirements of the War-office, as regarded tie Prince's and Harrington piere. • • Mr. Hubback having nioyed the coandation of the proceedings, • Mr. ARNOLD said it would have been as well if the *Defenem Committee had confined themselves to resisting the attacks of the War-office, and asked what would be the use of the fort at the north end of the Birkenhead Dock, where, before any vessel got within the range of the guns, the whole town might be destroyed. All the *MI6 on the Mersey hitherto had been gross blunders, if licit iobg. • , litr:MorruEL thought that every soldier' irlio,airde to this• port was an injury to its commerce. He didn't believe that a public arsenal and a private shipbuilding yard could co-exist, for one would assuredly absorb the . otb.er. He believed that the War 7 office, having the coinmand of the public purse, the work would be with- drawn from the dockyard. He viewed these inroads Upon, this , estate with a great deal of suspicion. He thought that the fort di nit Salightry . Pier would be an impediment to the commerce. And all the forts it feints higher up the river would be a serious detriment to the port. Mr. BROCKLEBINIC sapplsed that they must give up their opinion to military men, and that, willing or not frilitug, they mast surrender the sites. Air. Boma thought that it would have been better to improve the grnianients of the Rock Battery, and rem:Axil thdt rid inentionhad been made of that. Mr. LAIRD had no sucli feat as Mr. Arnold had expressed with regard to a public arsenal. the Niages of men employed in those yards were lower than of men employed in private yards. With regard to the Sea combe fort, it would command the river a, long way down ; and, besides, the War-office had decided that a fort ahould be placed there ; and, unless very good reasons could be shown why that place should not be giVen iip, .they would bo compelled to surrender it, and they bad better do so with gooii giad: The CHAIRMAN said that there was no cinestioli of their power to refuse to give up the sites if they liked; but th e y applied to Government to assist them in the defence bf the port. After mature deliberation, the Government had fixed upon these sites, and it would not do for them, as unprofessional men, to tell the Govern ment they did not understand their business. Thi iiiOCcedingd 4eiii then c6nArmel THE WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. Mr. BOULT then moved the motion of which he had given notice: "That the Works Committee and the Warehouse Committee he instructed to prepare plans and estimates for the extension of the warehouse accom- modation, and to report at an early date." It would, _ - be said, be Unnecessary for him to take up the time of th e beard by enlarging upon ilk great iieeetsit; hieh existed for increased warehouse accommodation in Liver- pool• The qurition was, whether it was to be provided by that board, or by private parties? He had been informed that private individuals would do nothing, because they Hid been told thg tliat board intended to increase their warehouses, on th e flat 4/iortddity ; and therefore the trade was likely to be left in its preseni state for a long time to come. It had been said that they had recently had an exceptional import of cotton, and that they were not likely to require the same amount of accommodation for some time; hut it was reported that the crops upon the ground were even beyond it, and the had Stated, that they fOight look for a crop o f tire or five and a half millions dt WO. )Lr.

Stubbs, an eminent local musi cian, were interred yesterday morning in St. James's . Cemetery; at eleven o'clock, ' tThe funeral was attended by a large number of the personal friends cif deceased, and also others, who, though not, intimately acquainted with Mr. Stubbs, wished to show' the respect . in which they held his memory. Several bands accom panied the mournful procession, and -played appropriate airs. Among the bands were two—the Harmonie. Band (establiihed by Mr. Stubbs), and the Derby .Bootle Juvenile Bind (of which Mr. Stubbs Was bandmaster and instructor). This tribute on the part':of those 'who have themselves been so closely conneet4l with the deceased must have been some, though pooroconsolation to his ffiends under the deep loss they have sustained.

Both were sons of Mr. Horatio Ross, and they greeted the Queen as•she passed through, attracted her - attention, and were afterwards presented to her Majesty.

JOHN BIBBY, Sosi, le Co. Liverpecl. ifth MT, 1800; ; • The committee had replied ghat until the,Gyeat Float at Birkenhead was opened no material change emild.lle made in the docks at Liverpool, but that when that float was opened it would be seen what amount of accommodation could be given. If Messrs. Bibby, Sons, & Co. could, in the meantime, use the Great Float for ttle,accenimoclatiort of their steam trade, the committee wen: Make i atra i ngements fdr that purpose. Mr. PARIiI 4 SIIIRE, the confirmation of the proceedings, said that portion which Sons, and Campany required would not be a very good one, but really they had no room, and would be at a loss to know what to do with the vessels in the Bramley- Moore Dock. Mr. INstArt- asked whether the present entrance to the Birkenhead Docks would take in steamers of 350 feet in length, and 50 feet in beam. The ENDINEED—Nn. Mr. fkiNi.i/4--:rben ,the fact, is t the Great Float will not be able to teke those s'hips I i tilt the tow.watet basin is gnishcd, flied feats hence ? : The-ENGINEER— I think that for large ships it would be exceedingly difficult. Mr. INMAN—Then I think that answer to Messrs. Bibby is hardly applicable. Mr. FORWOOD alluded to the great increase of the steam trade of the port, and expressed a fear that no hope could be held out of any advantage being derived from Birkenhead.. They were continually asked for rood' and eiilee ; the tinottrxi all the space they possibly could; and until they found some other .nieiris of relieving the demands, it was utterly impdssible to comply with tbem. Messrs. Bibby were drawing trade from Hull, and they nivat take good Care that the trade would not go back. Mr. LA.ran said that vesaele of 300 torii could elite; the tirkenhead docks. *hen the Birkenhead 'docks were opened they would take a certain amount of trade. They might not take in such vessels as the Messrs. Bibby were building ;- but the present Morpetb Dock entrance would take in vessels of 300 feet long and 50 feet beam, and he believed, excepting the Great Britain, there was no screw steamer exceeding five or slx and forty feet in beam. It would, therefore, be fiVailaffic fertill Vessels excepting jots few that had been built lately. Opening the float, however, would not be a test of the capability of Birkenhead ; but the test ought to be applied when the deep water entrance is opened. Mr. RANKIN observed that no allusion was made to the opening of the Huskisson Dock, and be suggested that that also should be mentioned to Messrs. Bibby. The, proceedings, were then confirmed, the addition ii4gested by Mr. Rankin being Triode to the reply. THE DEFENCES OF THE PORT. ' V ) V . 4• 10 • ' L i' I . • t if. A. • •.. - . 1 • Mee" , • with the idea and the prospect of it; but how did the difficulties arise ? When the trade wanted something like an assurance before they would declare their willingness to move that they would not be charged a higher rate than the average which they had paid, the committee replied - that they Were • a changing body,, and they - could only express their opinion that the land would riot cost more, and that it would be to the i ini4egt of the, felt to i retain the timber trade, by giving them as large an eremint 4f accommodation as possible. The timber trade could obtain no assurance that this would be realised, and therefore said, " No, we are only paying fourpence per yard here; it will never do to pledge ourselves AO remove, unless we can have something like an assurance." The difficulties of the timber trade of the Brunswick Dock went on increasing, until at last the necessity became such that it was felt it could not remain there. When the accommodation was provided, there came the question of rent. Elentlemen at that board knew that at the titrie. of the •diselission ahoiit land liar ocBtipied by the timber trade; £64d i'itien the ttiat of lad. was fixed, the trade understood that any further quantity of land which might be required would not be higher, but lower; and the price of Bd., and even of 4d., was named. Mr. BusueLL—A shilling was fixed, but they had got that lowered to 10d. Mr. &Arm said the rate had nothing.to do with what he was discussing. Would any gentleman, tell him that when the rate of 10d was Ail thought pat if they Wanted any additiothil lan they Would bEt're to pay ? If that Was the case, they could not have had the land occupied at this present Moment. What the consequences would be he could not say ; that would have to appear. In his opinion that board was taking a very narrow view of the question. It was quite clear that they were buying more land than was absolutely necesaary for the timbei trade. oxcic aot itkuly to oe availkble o other parposes. lie spoke of land to the north of the Canada Dock. The interest of that board would be to induce the timber trade not to take the land in small quantities, but to take it in large quantities at a moderate rent, and having a 'permanent rent whether the land wore occupied or unoccupied, that board would get more 1110116p.4offeriag fair and proper indticettiente to the trade, than hygetting a high rent fromit6rkige. Zie appealed to Arr. Rankin, who knew something about this. If a timber merchant, or timber dealer, had an abundant quantity of ground at a moderate rent, he looked upon it as one of his annual expenses, and the rent did not become an element in the negotiations for a sale . of timber . ; but if they were to have a high price, every dealer took the smallest quantity of l an d which he cpuyi possibly do with, and resorted to the casual Or* *hen the tiecetsity arose . *hen he t • • wus compelled to go to the casual storage, he would say that the cargo would cover probably 1,000 yards of land at so much per week, and it became a question to be considered in the sale. He appealed to Mr. Rankin to say whether, in his twenty years' experience, when he had had to store carper, it had not been a less, and a very serious One ; and, if he coilld ildt sell his cargoes tioin the quays, instead of bringing six, he would-only bring three, and the orders would go elsewhere, and they would find whether Hull aid Gloucester would not take a portien,of their trade. Re had WOW pdt them in po;sessio4 Of the Whole Of the facts of the case, and he warned them that, if they went upon the principle of extracting the pound of flesh; they would damage the interests of that estate more than they had been damaged by any act of a committee that had sat in that room for the last twenty years. He, hoped they would he very careful lept they :load commit tt niiitate,4hidh they would only find out when it was too late. Mr. RA.N.tax explained that the reason he moved the resolution in the committee was that he believed the rates agreed to were fair and equitable, and, when the cartage was taken into consideration, about equivalent to the rates in the centre of the town. . Mr. BROCILEgAyrt, chairman of the Works Com mittee, in his reply, said he had hem guided very much hY„ O the opinion. of the eniqtieer *lie ethisiclifed the. ainotint 6hd.rged a fair rate for the land to be let at. He did not think that Mr. Derbyshire or Mr. Boult could have been me m b ers o f th a t b oar d w h en th e great discussion took place upon the timber question, other wise they would not have been the parties to object to this rent; because it was .very clearly understood that when, the timber trade, went to the north end they *Otlid be profiled Ninth thetip 6totitge, iii cotinectien with land given to them on permanent lease. They had made the ground more convenient for them than at the Harrington Dock, by placing rails through them ; and they were charging them twopence more. He thought that if, after getting the trade there, they said the land was more valuable, and we will now tax your trade with an additim , ,i ..,..as oucits,piy haVe been holiest. With respect to the casual storage, three-eigttlis 8f a penny *is 16 ty a year ; and it *as just possible that a larger sum would be obtained for the estate by that means than could be obtained by the fixed rental. With regard to the railway company, they were putting down rails for them for the convenience of carry ing on their trade; and, under these circumstances, he thought 2d per yard was only a fair charge.

Bibby, Sons, and Co.:— TO THE CHAIRII kN OF FRE LIVERPOOL DOCKS AND HkaßOCa BOARD (DOCKti AND (WAYS COnMITISE) referenet to loinr letters of the 29th March, 14th and iSt'l February, and 30th June last, will . put Yoti p6sses:-..ion ofoUr reqUirements for an increased Steam accommodation.

These boats, it =St be borne in mind, are all essentially cargo boats, and therefore require proportionately much greater quay space than passenger ships, and the double revenue derived—from cargo as well as from the ship—entitle them to it. Further, it.may be remarked the boats arc all engaged in ehort trades, and that the tonnage above alluded to represents in the course of the year an amount of work much greater than appears at first sight. We are now running five distinct lines of Steamers, and with our present curtailed quay space it is perfectly inipossible to prevent confusion and mixture of goods . . The ceplaiiits from Manchester on this score are such as cannot be disregarded, and are inflicting infinite injury on the trade of the port, and corresponding advantage to competing lines from London and elsewhere. It is of the utmost importance that this matter be speedily dealt with, the more especially as we have recently concluded an arrangement for conveyance at through rates of merchan dise from London and other places to the interior of Italy and Austria—an arrangemezt by which, if proper facilities are afforded, Ivo entertain not the slightest doubt an immense additional traffic will be drawn to Liverpool. Already large amounts of goods which formerly were sent overland through Hull, &c., have been diverted to our boats direct from this port, and to enable us to provide efficiently for this traffic, we would suggest as a temporary expedient that the south and west sides of Britnley-Moore Dock, with the space between the Nelson and Dramley-Moore Locks, roofed over (as shown in plans already su b m itt e d to you), be appropriated to us, in lieu of the south ;side. of the Nelson Dock, • • So convinced are we of the extent of our trade justifying this application, that we arc prepared to guarantee a return of at least 10 per cent. more revenue on either of the allot ments we ask for, than is derived from the average of any similar space on the Dock Estate.

When the day's business had terminated at the police court yesterday, detective officer Patrick brought up William Cohtell, late a collector belonging to the Cor poration, on a charge of basing, embezzled about £3OO belonging to that body. Mr. Walter a?tieared for the prosecution. The prisoner absconded about D'ecemter last, and was not heard of until yesterday, when he gave himself up to the police. Mr. Cozens, the detective ,officer of the Post-office, had been sent to America after the prisoner bat he was not successful, as the prisoner had returned, although Mr. Cozens had traced him over ti great part of America. It seems the prisoner had returned, arid went to live in the Isle of Man. The prisoner was not defended by any legal itintlennan. Mr. Walter said the prisoner was formerly engaged in the Town Clerk's Office, but was removed from that to a more important position and promoted to be a Collector of Water Rates, a position which he held for several years, up to the 13th December last. On that day, something occurred which caused the prisoner to get notice that he would be brought before the committee, and lie then disappeared. His accounts were then gone into, and defalcations discovered. At present, he (Mr. Walter) would bring twd cases against the prisoner. In December, he received from Messrs. Earles and Carter £29 odd, and only accounted for £1 6s. 4d. The next case was, that on the 13th December the prisoner received from Mr. Lane, brewer, £34 9s. 7d., and only paid £9 18s. 7d. of that sum to the . treasurer. The prisoner received, on the Bth Nov., 1856, arid siitfsectuengy, from Messrs. 'Rutin, brewers, the sum of £llO 3a. id., tut only accounted for £35 lls. 7d., leaving a deficienci of £74 IBs. It was the duty of the prisoner to -enter all the nSotim he received, and pay it over the same day to Mr. White, the treasurer; but he had not done So. He then called Mr. Charles Ward, book-keeper at Messrs. Earley and Carter's, who said that firm was indebted to the Water Committee, and on the 13th December he paid £29 Bs. to the collector who signed the receipt. Thomas White, the treasurer of the Corporation, said the prisoner was . a 6011eetot of water rent for some , years. lie collected for sm:dial:id and Vauxhall wards. Messrs. Bullen, Lanes, and Earley and Clirtcri were indebted to the Corporation for water. The pr/seiner should account to him every day. He did not pay ,to him the amount received from Earls and Carter on the 13th DeceMber, but he paid in Li 6s. 4d. as received fefini that firm. The receipt given by the prisoner to Messrs. taries' and Cater for the sum is in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Walter said the parties in fhe dater case were not present; but he thought it right to ask for a remand, as he would ask to have the prisoner sent for trial to the assizes, and, therefore, he would wish to have some other charges perfect before the final committal of the trisoner, The case was then adjourned for an hour, Mr. Wm. Williams, ‘'eloYigirlg to Mr. Lane's breweiy, . proved that. on the 13th December lie sew Mr. Lane pay the prisoner £34 Os. 7d.; . and - he- proved the rCeeirtt given by the prisoner for that sum. Mr. White proved that the prisoner only accounted for £9 18s. 7d. of that sum . Mr: Walter said that was all the evidence he would offer at the present Mr. Raffles asked the prisoner if hes hid anything to say, and he replied he had nothing to say. flie derisi tions were. then taken, and the prisoner was sent for trial.

He should hare urged them to the Smoke Committee. Proccedimngsk.° Committee Mr. HAYDOCK replied that he had done so. Mr. (TOR said it was but fair to the members of the committee who were not on the Smoke Committee, that the testimonials of the two parties who were considered the most eligible, should be read. Mr. HOLDEN asked the Town-clerk whether .he had bad any private communication with Mr: Swab upon this subject. The TowN-CLEux replied that he h a d not. He was directed by the Smoke Committee to write t o Mr. Swab ; asking him whether he cou ld undertake the duties, and that was the only communication which bad passed between them. Mr. IIuLDEN then said the advertisement stated that it must be a practical engineer whom they would appoint. so far as that part of the subject was concerned; Swab himself told the committee that he was not practical engineer. His indentures were not shown, or even called for. In order that they might have a practical man, an increase of .£.50 was put to the adver tisement ; and he thought that they should keep to those qualifications which were required by the Over- , • ~_~' , tilt they were not those of pratical men. Several or t thc other applicants had excellent testim onials from different persons in the town of Liverpool. He would, C hbi say, that the committee in recom mendin g t . fore; M. f.

Inspector t 6 thi beYough, had 3 161 acted upon the term's of the advertigtfred t'h'ey inserted ii; the papers. • It was of no use to pubileS' at advertisement, . if they did' ioi intend' to be guided by ff, In their selection; was not Ifeerfink faith . With the public. Mr. BOIVRINO said that he felt sure the Smoke COISI mittee had approached the sib set' a sincere desire to put into the situation a person "ft? Would properly discharge its duties. At Leeds Mr. Swab had begun his Career in a very humble capacity, and had risen to the position of Smoke Inspector to that town. He was then placed in a superior office, and in every case he bid given satisfaction to his employers and won their good will and approbation. He had certainly told the Smoke Committee - t6t• he had not served his time as an engineer, but he had had' dtt6zYstre practice among engineers. He also stated that he seas able to show the very best models of furnaces for the cousuining , of smoke and was well acquainted with machinery. 'Under these circumstances ho came under the terms of the advertise ment—[Mr. Haydock. No.) It appeared to the com mittee that he was the fittest man they could select to fill the situation. • Air. iisydock saki he would more that Mr. Swift be appointed; as that gentleman was a practical engineer. Mr. Nier.stlx exceedingly regretted that this discus sion had taken place, because it was calculated to throw imputations upon awn getitienstn vihcv had voted for Mr. Swab, Mr. CRELLIN opposed the appointment on the g,tottnd that Mr. Swab had been sent for to Leas. in his opinirk it was no credit to a great commercial town like Litetrol that they could not find one of their local men qualified for the situation. Mr. Swab might be a very likely man for the appointment; but he was not a local man ; he came from a distance. Mr. HAYDOCK said that Mr. Swab did not answer the terms of' the advertisement in another particular, as he was over tarty years of age. Mr. BOWRLXG explained that when the advertisement was published Mr. Swab was under the , age specified therein. When the case was decided by the Smoke Committee he was a few days over that age. Many gentlemen had come to that board with prejudices in favour of local men; but he thought that was unfair to the candidates. It was also absurd to compare art engi- neer to a worker in iron ; he might happen to be a worket it wood. A member enquired whether a man should be consi dered an engineer if lie had made a wooden coal-box. (Laughter.) Mr. HOLDEN had great pleasure in seconding Mr. Haydock's motion. He believed Mr. Swift to be the proper man. - Mr. CROSTHWAITE moved the adjournment of the discussion until next Thursday, when the testimonials &aid he read to the committee. Mr. Itoom4 seconded the motion. Mr. BOWRING objected to the postponement. Mr. CRELLIN said he probably knew as much about engineering as Mr. Bowring, and he had toted for the man he thought capable of discharging the antics of the situation. The amendment—that the discussion be postponed-- was then put, and lost. The original motion was also pt, and carried. The proceedings were accordingly cOtifirnitd. report from the T{ , ose-strect, police station was then road. It stated that John Duckworth, a labourer, had by his effortarescued two men ftcrat suffocation in a sewer at the north end of the town. • The men lowered himself down into the sewer, which was twenty-ftve feet deep, and got up the two men who were then neatly dead. The committee instructed the town clerk to write a letter to Mr. Duckworth, conveying their appreciation of his gallant conduct att the occasion. This concluded the business, THE ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS.
