LIVERPOOL &BIRKENHELkD DOCKS. MPORTAN 1 1 CONFERENCE AT MANCHESTER. Yesterday, a meeting::iwas held in the Town-hall. Manchester, for the purpose of consilering the question of completing the Birkenhead Dicks, and the proposed extension of the Docks at the north end of Liverpool. There was a numerous and inn sential attendance. Several bodies interested in the completion of the Birken head Docks were present. The Birkenhead Improvement Commissioners were represented by Mr. J. Laird, chair - man, and Mr. Cook. OA beliedf of the Birkenhead, Lanca shire, and;Cheshire junction Railway Company, there were present Mr. Titherington, the chairman ; and Alderman Bancroft. The Hon. Mr. Ponsonby, chairman ; Mr. Williams, of Chester, and Captain Buckley, were present on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the Manchester Commercial Association, and the Corporation of Mau_ chester, were also represented, and amongst those present we noticed Mr. Harold Littledee, of this town. In the absence of Sir James Watts, the Mayor of Manchester, who was unavoidably prevented from being present, the Deputy Mayor took the chair. The proceedings were commenced by the Chairman calling upon Mr. :Laird to open the general business of the meeting, and to state the present position of the dock works at Liverpool and at Birkenhead. Mr. Laird commenced by a reference to the Liverpool Dock act of 1855, luring which there was a great con tention as to the works at the north shore, when it was proposed to spend £4,000,0D0 on new dock works. At that time there was a strong opposition to the scheme, and the committee of the House of Commons, of which Mr. Labouchere was chairman, decided to grant, after a long discussioe, only £3C0,030 to be expended on the Liverpool side, and ou this understanding the corporation of Liverpool took over the Birkenhead Docks, with art undertakiug that they would complete them in three years, that is by the Ist of September, 1858. Since that time they had been to parliament more than on one occasion. In 1356 they applied to parliament for an alteration in the plans, which va as refused. In the last year--the year 1837—another parliamentary contest took place, and the trust was taken entirely from the existing trustees, on the understanding that the works at Birkenhead would be completed within the prescribed period. Bat instead of the works being completed by next September, as was originally intended, very little had been done to them, though by the completion of the inner works, according to the time prescribed by parliament, a a area of 150 acres of deep water aecein nosietiou would be afforded to Liverpool. Mr. Laird then p. oceeded to say that, in all the transactions that he had been a party to between Mr. Hartley and Mr. Brune!, as to the Birkenhead Docks, ao difficulty whatever was raised a; to any alteration in the inner works, and it was, therefore, with great surprise that, in September last, he saw a report of Mr. Hartley's, in which he proposed to go to parliament for an alteratioa in the inner works, and to seek powers fur the purchase of land on the north side of the pool. During the time the act of last session was passing through parliament, the necessity of this was never suggested, and if it was necessary, Mr. Hartley ought to ,have discovered it before, without altering and virtwally postponing, for a period of three or four years, the completion of the great dock of 150 acres, which might have been completed, by the most common exertions, by the Ist of September next, thus giving to the port of Liverpool, in nine or ten mouths, a large and valuable space of deep water. The postponement of the completion of the Birkenhead works, and the uncertainty by which they were surrounded, had operated very prejudicially to the irtterees of B:rlesahea 1, and to the trade of the place generally, in p-op: of which he might say that several manufacturers had proposed to re-establish manufactories there, but had no induce• ment to do so. in conseouennA of thn st.ta .r uncertainty as to vessels being able to get into the docks. (Hear, hear.) The completion or' the docks at Birkenhead, with deep water entrances, would save, it was calculated, at least £lOO,OOO a year to the trade of the port, as ships then, instead of lying in the river for days, as they had now t• do, and going into the river to load, would be enabled to enter the Birkenhead docks on every day of the year at the lowest neap tide. (Hear, hear.) ,Many parties in Liverpool said this was merely a Birkenhead q testion, affecting the interests of the people there, but he did not consider it so, because the Manchester people, and the Manchester districts generally, as well "as the Ralway Companies, had a deep interest in anything that tended to give extraordinary facilities to the port of Liverpool, and to cheapen the accommodation for trade. (Hear, hear.) It was evident that Birkenhea 1 did afford all these `facilities, as p trliament had, after three years' contests, viz., in 1355, 1856, and 1357, decided that the Birkenhead docks should be completed before further extensions were made on the Lancashire side. This decision was come to by parliament after hearing e►idence as to both sides of the water, and he (Mr. Laird) urged on the manufacturing districts of Lancashire to support them in securing the carrying out of a bona fide arrangement, entered into with the Liverpool people and the Dock Trustees, that the Birkenhead dock works should be completed before further extensions o❑ the Liverpool side were permittel. In seeking for the completion of the Birkenhead works they were only ask ing for what they were entiqed to, and what had been decided over and over again in their favour. (Hear, hear.) Thu Hon•Mr.Ponsonby, chairman of the GmatWestern Railway Company, stated the views of his Company as to the importance of the completion of the Birkenhead works, and remarked that the Board did not consider that the authorities at Liverpool had kept good faith. Mr. Alderman Bancroft, one of the directors of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junctio❑ Riilway Company, stated that a very large sum of money had been expended by the Birkenhead and Cheshire Junction Com pany, on the faith of tha early an I efficient completion of the Birkenhead dock work, and that it was only due to them that no further delay should take place. In the course of his remarks Mr. Bancroft referred to a speech delivered by Me Alderman Sam lel Helms in the Liverpool Town Council on Friday last, in answer to a q testion asked by Mr. Graves. Mr. Bancroft said that fro.n that speech it was quite evident that the Liverpool people dtd not intend to go oa with the completion of the Birkenhead works. Mr. Alderman Helms stated in his speech of F'rid ty last, that tne act of last session prevented them going on with the outer works at Birkenhead, whilst he ought to have known. as an active member of the Corporation of Liverpool, that the act of parliament compelled them to g ) on with the works. (Hear, hear.) It appeared, from Mr• Ilelme's remarks, that there was a determination on the minds of some of the Liverpool gentlemen not to understand the asst of last session. (Heat', hear.) Mr. Harold Little laic stated that he was largely interested in property in Liverpool, and was a bondholder in the Liverpool docks, but he thought that great remissness had been shown on the part of the Liverpool Corporation aed the Dock Committee, by not proceeding with the Birkenhead dock works more rapidly. He said that Mr. Laird had even understated the loss to vessels discharging in the river by want of water to enter the decks, and in illustration of his views he read a communication from Mr. Mackay, of the firm of Messrs. James, Baines, and Co., in which the writer showed the great advantages of Birkenhead to vessels of a large class, and the ruinous expenses to which vessels were exposed by having to lie in the river to load and discharge their cargoes. The writer added that the determination to make docks further north at Liverpool was, he considered, nothing less than tempting providence. Mr. Littleiale then gave some illustrations of the loss of vessels detained in the river with a cargo, in consequence of the operation of a falling market. After several other gentlemen had addres3ed the meeting, _Mr. Malcolm Ross, deputy chairman of the Man- chester Chamber of Commerce, proposed a resolution to the eff.ct, that the Corporation and the Dick Committee at Liverpool had neg'.ected to carry out the powers which were conferred upon them in respect of the Birkenhead docks. The resolution having been seconded was carried, and after other resolutions: had 'been adapted, it was resolved that a memorial should be presented to the Board of Trade, an I to the Conservancy Board, praying them to assist the memorialists in compelling the com pletion of the Birkenhead works, and in preventing any further expenditure at the north end of Liverpool, until the Birkenhead works:were finished. A committee was then appointel to carry out the objects of the mectinE,r, consisting of—The Hon. Mr. Ponsonby, chairman of the Great Western Railway Company ; Mr. Laird, chairman of the Birkenhead Commissioners ; Mr. Titheringtou, chairman of the Birkenhead and Cheshire Railway Company; Mr. Allem z‘n Baucroft,Mr. Malcolm Ross, vice-president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce; and Mr. Joseph Heron, town clerk of Man chester. Mr. James A.spinall Turner, M.P. for Manchester, ad dressed the meeting at some length, and stated that he and his colleague fully concurred in the objects of the meeting, and hoped that the Liverpool people wou'd see the necessity of carrying out the engagements into whi•th they had entered with Parliament, and thus prevent hitn and his hon. friend frona having to take active steps to support the committee which had been appointed to pre_ vent the proposed extension of works on the Lancashire side, until the engagements entered into as regarded the Birkenhead works had been carried out. The proceedings then terminated, having occupied up wards of two hours. The following are the res - lutions : Mr. Ross moved, and Mr. Alderman Shuttleworth seconded— That this meeting has learned, with extreme surprise and regret, that the Corporation of Liverpool have uct proceeded with the construc , ion of the Birkenhead Docks, as r( colored by the Conservancy Act of 1857; but that, disregarding the clearly expressed regnirements of that Act, they seem determined rather to encourage the re newal before Parliament of the experiments of 185'3-57. an I thus, by delay and expense, to sacrifice the interests of parties who have expended enormous sums of money on the faith of the works being completed at an early perio I, or by altering the main features of the authorised plarr, to neutralise, if not destroy, the natural advantages of Birkenhead. Mr. John Carver moved, and Mr. C)uncillor Clark seconded— That the evident intention of parliament, in traniferring in 1855 the Birkenhead Docks to- the Corporation of Liverpool, was to secure the early completion of the works substantially in accordance with the authorised plans ; and the intentions of the legislature were again more emphatically expressed in the session of 1856 by the rejection of the proposals for , alterations then made by the Liverpool Corporation c yet this meeting is surprised to hear that, notwithstanding these repeated klecisims of parliament, no steps of any consequence have been taken by the Corporation of Liverpool in fulfilment of the obligations imposed by parliament in 1855; and that tha outer works, nom_ prising the sea wall, the low-water basin, and the entrance into the Great F.oat at Birkenheal, upon the early com pletion of which all parties relied, and are, in fact, dependent for re9ef to commerce, remain untouched, whilst every effort has been made to (Atari!' the docks of Liverpool. Mr. Davis proposed, and Mr. Alderman Bowker seconOxd— That this meeting being fully impressed with the neces sity of completing the Birkenhead Docks in the spirit of the original plans before any further expenditure in the extension of ducks to the north on the Liverpool side 's prop )sed to, or sanctioned by, parliament, resolved—that memorials embracing the foregoing resolutions be drawn up and presented to the Board of Trade and the Con servancy Board, by deputation or otherwi , e ; and that the following gentlemen bo a sub.convn!qee, to draw up and take charge of the same :—The Hon. Mr. ronsonby, John Laird,. Esq., William Titherington, Ez , q., Mr. Ald. Ross, Esq ; and also, that a copy of these resolutions, signed by the chairman on behalf of this meeting, be forwarded to the Liverpool Corporation and the Dock Committee.

Wore V° West Riding magistrates, at %Vaketleld, oe Monday, the following case, adjourned about a fortnight ago for the purpose of taking counsel's opinion with reference to it, was gone into. At the period of the adjeurnment, George Illingworth, a coal miner, and about a dozen of his fel'ow workmen, were surnmened for having left their work without giving a fortnight's notice. As the case of Illingworth was precisely similar to the whole of the others, his only was now token into conside-ation. At the. previous hearing, the complainant's attorney proved defordant's eignatere to a book, end put in the rules and bye laws attached thereto. He teso proved, by the a_ent of the colli ry, the terms of Ilangworth's verbal contract, ani that he entered the complainant's service by virtue of it. The ceendant's attorney objected to the book and the reies and bye laws attached b ing given as evidence, on the ground that this was the " contract of service," and, being in writing, ougitt to have been signed by the colliery owners, as w 11 as by the defendant, and that not being so signed, it was a nuclevn yietum, and void for want of mutuality. The complainant's attorney replied that there was a verbal contract of service, nnd-r which Illingworth entered, ani that the signa aro in the book was merely ate acknowledgme it by the defendant that he had received the roles required to be given to him in accordance with the Colliery Act of Parliament. The comae' referred to Mr. Blanshard, the le tder of the North um circuit, and the followine is a summary of his opinion :—Quiest.ion : Is the memoran dum signed J I lingworth in the book befo - e a ludet to a contract in writing within the meaning of the Act 4 Gee. IV ? Answer : lam of opinion that it is not, on the gi oiled that the contract in writing spekon of in the at :tuts in this Lilacs must be gelled by the co treating parties. The memorandum here spoken of is for the protecti.sn of Messrs. Hudson, and furnishes road! proof that the general and special roles o' the collieries are supplied to their miners.—Q aestion : Would the verbal contract under which Illingworth is serving, previous to the signatare of the book above referred to, be eutH lent tinder section 3 of the Act 4 Gro. IV , n. 34, to bin I him to the performence of the bye laws, assuming him to have received a cony of the bye laws? Answer: It would, if at the time of the verbal contract he reeeieed a copy of the bye laws.—lt was no proved that every men had received a copy of the bye laws, if not at the time of his engagement, still daring the interval ; and the beech deciiel that this was sufficient, for although the men were engaged by day work, it woeld never do, bee tare such was the case, that they should be allowed to leave their employer at a moment's notice, put his 'easiness to a complete steadstill, and, it might be, entail rein upon him. Tee m •eistrates gave the men an opeortuni y of returning to their work the next morning, when, if they chose, they might give a fortuiclit's notic i; or if not ho would seed them to the House of cotreetion. The men agreed to go to their work, and pay the costs. TEIREITENING TO HORiENVIILP A COUNTY COURT JUDGE. Oa Tuesday. William live., a re.spectabie-looking o'd ma', was trought up before fir. Ba:doe at the Marlborough street Police court, on a warrant, charging him for that he d d threaten to horsewhip Franc's Bayley, I:4Q, Judge of the Westminster County Court, St. Martin's-I tne, whereby he apprehends that ho goes in dangtr of some bodily harm that he, t• e said Wiliam Hayes, will do or cause to be done. Com2l.ins.nt said that some short time ago the defendant was a plahltiff in a ease before him, arid in cons queues of his eieating a disturbance and treat ng tho court with contempt, he was obliged to commit hi n until the rising of the court. When the coal ceased <ittie7, the defendant refused to off'r the least apology, notwithstanding watch he ordered him to be discharged. Toe p isorer then entered into conversation abut a case which had recently be n decided against him, aid hie conduot was so off ins ye Vast he called the officers of the court to eject him from the p'acc. The defendant then became much excited, and said it was a question whether he should not horsewhip him. Thinking he would carry his threats into execution, he adopted the present proceedings, and now wish:d him to ne bound oser to loop the peace. The prisoner, who apparel to b 3 labeuriug under great excitement, made a long rambling statement about some injustice ha Ind received at the hands of the complainant, which made him very excited, and while he was in that state he ci rtsinly might dare made use of the words imputed to him by Mr. B. ylry, but without the least intention of carrying the threat into execution. He was a religious man, aid his Bible told him it was wrong to resent an injury. Mr. Beadon said if he was a religious man he must have known his conduct Was highly imeroper, io threatening t i horsewhip the Judge of the Court. In order to restrain him for the future, he should order him to find two saret es in CIO each, with himself in £4O, to t eep the peace for three month,. A TALE OF MYSTERY. The Belem journals far the list few days have been publishing the following extraordinary story, which appears capital. We give it as narrated by the independence •—" A ticket-porter, nearly four years' ago, delivered to the propeetor of the Hotel des Etrangers a hat b x, which he said had been intrustel to him by an Eng - man, who requested the landlord to have a bed prepared for him in the hotel, where he should arrive the following day. Months and yeirs, however, passed away, and no one al pet el to cl dm the box, wbi h w.a throwninto a garret, end there lay forgotten. A few days ago, the landlord, on reading in the English journals an account of the mys'erioas murder in London, called to mind the fact of the hat ' ox, and bad it sought for, th nking that perhaps It might con tain some part of a huma'e body. On its being opened, to his great astonishment, he found in it balk notes to the amount of 4'60,039. The box, and its ap,orently valuable contents, were han led over to the castody of the police ; conjectures of all kinds being form d con,erning it Some persons imagined that the owner was a thief, and had been afraid to ciana the property through fear of bang arrested ; others supposed it might belong to some'rich man, who had died suddenly, or had loz.ea murdered on the day he sent the box. The police delivered up the not sto the English Consul, who sent three of them to the Bank of England to ascertain whether they were gen,.ine. A few days ago a telegraphic despatch was rece'ved from that estab ishment, sating that the notes ware all for.eries. The imlstion, however, was so wall ',twitted that several of the money changers at Brussels &Oared that that they would not have hesit-ded to cash them. It is said that some police :gents have arrived at Brasses from London to assist in the investigation in this singular affdr. THE WATERLOO MURDER AND STREE T LITERATURE. The excitement with respect to this obscure tragedy, wh'c's has agitated the pablic mind from the first discovery of the bag to the present moment has found its vent, as usual oo these occasions, in street ballads, originating in some Seven Dials or Whitcechapel poet, and sung to a doleful air by wandering minstrels of the Jem Bagg s ordi.r. Of one of these we hay- passesied ourselves, and fled that some stanzas of it (might to be prase . vei in a more permanent form.

RAILWAY ACCIDETT AT BROADBOTIONL On Tuesday m )rning, an ace dent of a alarming nature occurred at the B 'ea 'bottom viaduct on the Alanches'er, SlieMeli, and Lin colnshire ilailway. It itpeesra that a new c o aing was being laid down et a pelet close to the via Inct, and t rat, when the express train, which left blenchester at 9.55 a.m., was approaching, the siationsd 803 yards from the spot where the man ware at work, neg'ected to give the proper csutioe, ea.', consequently, the driver of the train went over the I tcomelees portion of the road, at the average speed of 30 miles an hear, Instead of at Inif speed. s•f the six carriages atteohed to the trai 1, four we a thrown off the line, but, str•mge to say, the engine sa I t sneer kept the treeie. T wo of the carriages struck against the fir,t pier of the viaduct, ore having its end ant the other its side smashed by the vilience of the cesem esi ea. At the sane moment the shackles snapped asunder, and two first and one se and class carriages ran forward, grazing along the wooden parapet for about 5) yards, w'men the foremost of these earriaees struck another pier, and the engine and fi •st van b o e 'ease. aei tarter prone ling ano her hurt ire yar le or so, cane t o a stun 1. There were but six passengers in the train, and none of them received b idily injury. They ware greatly alarmed, however, which is not to be wondered at, when the podtien in width they were paced is taken tato con ddiratioa. The viaduct is st an el ration of about 100 feet from the river Eth sro v, which it spans, and he, I ti e carriages diverged on'y a few inches wore fro a the rains, the proba bility is that they wo ill have been herded over the preripi see, and the lives of those inside them sacrificed. The mist eerie:is result of the acci lent was the injury sustained by ihe stoker, a ma s named John Woolley, who jumped off the engine when the carriages left the line, and bein4 thrown forwards on the bailast, which is very rough at that point, reneived some seve e wounds o i the head, and one on the knee. Ile was removal to the Griffin Inn, and speedily attended by Mr. Fernely, surgeon, of Msttram. We tinders tea 1 that he is progre seine .avonrably. Tee pa7seeeers were sent forward on th it journey almost immediately, by another train.

THE PW3ONER AND HIS ADVOCITE, At tin Bo,v•street Police Court, of Tee; ler, John R. Rlehirds wa brJught be Mr. Jardine, Navin; b3sl remanded, on several eh ages of fyr;ory.

The Great Eastern Company having ona:tted to melee. , the fact widely known that the next attempt to launch the vessel would be delayed fir a month, the entrance to the Millwall yard were on Wednesday morning besieged with . 'visitors, all of whom were under the impression that Mr. Brunel would continue his operation at the afceraoon tide. The vessel, however, remains in precisely the position she occupied the p-evious day ; she rests majestically upon her cradles without " dog shores or any similar support, and those who were fortunate enough to obtain admix-ion on Wednesday were allowed to make a minute examination of the launching apparatus. Some engineers of eminence in the - north were on the ground. and opinions were freely hszar'ed as to the causes of the mishap, or the probabilities of the future; but in the face of the experience which Tuesday's proceedings have afforded Mr. Brunei, and which has remove I all doubts from his mind as to the ultimate safety of the launch, it would be useless to record the more gossip that oceWs upon the spot. Sir John Ramadan, the Secretary for War, and several members of the aristocracy, inspected the machinery on Wednesday morning, but together with other visitors were reques ed to withdraw shortly before one o'clock, to the tide was again rising to her keel. The yar I was left in the pcsiession of a few shipwrights, who were busy in completing some of the int{rnal • portions of tha vessel. As the day advanced, omnibuses and cabs brough , down hundreds of persons. who had hoped to seethe Leviathan afloat by the ebb of the tide, and their disappointment was evidently shared in by the crowds of labourers and mechanics c ,llectsd around the various entrances to the yard. The lo cality, far from cheerful at any time, was specially dreary and dismal ; rain above and black mud below made the visitor less inclined to take his disappointment in good temper. The numerous taverns have driven a roa-ing trade since Tuesday morning. and the stoppage of the operations contribute to keep up their numbers. A bud chorus greets the ear from most of their doors and win lo vs, and itine - ant mu &lens lend their aid to dispel the gl tom of the hour. It has been announced that Mr Thnnel has fixed the sad of Dacember for the next trial ; but plssiPly this arrangement may be set mid?, and no hing dnfiaite can at prezieut be stated. The opinion is, that the longer the monster ship remain. in her present pnsicion. the mere diffilalt will be the operation of launching her. It is probable that another attempt aill be made before the 2nd of Deniber, the day at present'annoanced. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE.T.-W- ZONEBDM Mr. Monk moved f r a new trial in this case, on tho ground that the verdict, which the j try returned for the plaintiff with £ . lOO damages, was against the weight of evidence. The action, which was tried before Me. Baron Channel', at Liverpool, was for ass cult and personal injury to the plaintiff. by which it WAS alleged he would utti mately lose the sight of his eye The defendants were represented by separate counsel, and the trial represented. a kind of triangula- duel, for each of them attacked. the other. The deendant for whom he appeared, Faeroe, was the keeper of an inn which stood hsl way between Manchester and Stockport. It Uppea”ed that plainiff had been given into custody aud got into trouble respecting some bills which he had offered for sale to a person named Syddell. in whose employ Cross was as salesman. Prickett was a person of no substance, and the great object of the plaintiff was to include Ferns is the parties who committed the assault, so that he mzght be responsible for damages, in tie event of any being obtained. According to the plaintiff's evidence, some quarrel took place in his house about some words which were used re-peering Syddall and resented by Cross. Ferns ordered the parties out of the inn, and turned out the gas in the room where they were The plaintiff said he didn't know who struck him—" I believe it was Ferns, it must have been Ferns I didn't see Prickett io any thing." Lord Campbell : Is i a ease of conflicting evidence ? M. Monk replied in the affi-mstive. Lord C impb2ll: Wag the judge dissatisfied with the verdict ? Mr. Monk said he was unable to state want passed in the mini of the judge, bat he readily asgen'ed to an application to stay execution. Lord Campbell thought that was strong prints facie evidence that he was not entirely sativfl,cl with the verdict. Unless the judge thought the jury were wrong in their verdict this court would not interfere. Before giving judgment they would consult their learned brother Chan nel. Judgment deferred.
