ORANGE ANNIVERSARY YESTERDAY.

In accordance with the usual custom, the Orange
Lodges of Liverpool celebrated the twelfth of July—the
anniversary of the battle of Aughrim—by a procession
during the day, and numerous convivial meetings in the
evening. At ten o'clock nearly four thousand Orangemen,
assembled outside the borough boundary, at a ppint
beyond the Zoological Gardens. The office-bearers an 4
members were decked out in the usual paraphernalia and
insignia of the order, accompanied by bands of music
and flags of various devices. About forty lodges were
represented, more or less numerously, each of whom dis-
played a grand banner, besides numerous smaller flags,
inscribed with various loyal, patriotic, and Protestant
mottos. The vast procession having been duly :mar-
shalled betwixt ten and eleven a.m., proceeded to West
Derby, and thence to Old Swan and Stanley, where they
broke up about four 'p.m., and each member tools off
every emblem they wore preparatory to entering the
borough. The superintendent of the county police and
about thirty officers were in attendance, and
gave most valuable assistance in clearing the
Way, and maintaining nubroken the vast proces-
sion. The whole propeeding was characterised by
the utmost order and decorum, which was greatly owing
to the vigilance and good feeling of the police, added to
the good sense and propriety of the processionists. The
whole line was densely crowded, and at many points of
the route the inhabitants turned out to greet the lodges
with hearty cheers. From the open windows of many of
the private residences on the route was to be seen the
waving of hats, handkerchiefs, &c., in token of welcome
and encouragement. Whatever opinion may be enter-
tained as to the propriety of the denionstration, there
can be but one feeling of gratification that nothing
occurred tQ dieturb the ueace or mar the pleasure
feati-
of the day, To many it was high
val—all the more enjoyable that it was
associated with the maintenance of highly loyal and
liberal Conservative principles. Our space will not per-
mit us even to specify all the festivities of the evening.
The grandest affair came off at the Teutonic-hall, where
nearly 200 sat down to dinner ; and in the evening a
ball was held, attended by about 600 ladies and
gentlemen. The scene -nt the ball was one of
unusual splendour—the gentlemen being decorated with
their sashes, &c„ and the ladies' dresses ornamented
With orange ribbons and trimmings of the most tasteful
devices. We may mention that the silver iusigna of the
order borne in the procession is valued at about a hundred
n.,(1 was presented to it, we belieye, by a 4oyal
Duke. Lodges 10 and 17, amalgamated under the name
of the Iron Duke, assembled in the evening at Chalk's
Star and Garter ; Lodges 14 and 20 were at Holt's;
about 200 of the 23rd were at Greenwood's ; 35, or John
Knox's, were at May's, where about 100 joined in the
dance. Dinners, tea parties, 4141 suppers in connection
with the various lodges were held in various places
throughout the town, all of which were well attended.
The various places of assembly were splendidly decorated
throughout the day, and generally the town presented a
holiday aspect.

HE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1860.

MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR BOARD.

At the weekly meeting of the Mersey Docks and
Harbour Board, held yesterday, Mr. Charles Turner
presided. The members present were Messrs. Hubback,
Boult, Farnworth, Rankin, Littledale, Lockett, Roun-
thwaite, Evans, Derbyshire, Langton, Mondell, Forwood,
and Seger.

WORKS COMMITTEE.
From the proceedings of this committee it appeared
that a letter had been road from the Steam-ship Owners'
Association, urging the necessity of hastening the com-
pletion of the new steam docks at the north end, and
that the committee has replied that the works were
being completed as rapidly as possible. A communi-
cation had been received, and referred to the engineer,
from the coal proprietors of North Wales, respecting the
arrangements for the shipment of coal at Birkenhead.
The proceedings were confirmed.

WAREHOUSE COMMITTEE. •
A minute of this committee recorded the opinion that
the present rent-charge of t of a penny per ton for
storage of guano in the Birkenhead Warehouses should
be continued, and

Mr. BOULT objected to the amount, as being much
too small, and considerably lower than was charged for
the same article on the quays of the Victoria Duck. He
did think that as tkat was the only board in the North
of England capable of satisfying the requirements of
the Peruvian Government, they were in a position to
require a fair rent, and he begged to propose that the
rate be Id. per ton per week.
Mr. Lockett seconded the amendment, which, how-
ever, was lost by a large majority ; Mr. Hubback
.2xplaining that as matters at Birkenhead were iu a
transitory state, and as the people who stored goods
there were put to a great inconvenience, the amount
named was considered quite ample.
MARINE COMMITTEE.
The board confirmed the proceedings of this com-
mittee, including a resolution not to comply witk the
request of Mr. Chapman, lessee of the Lauding-stage
Refreshment-rooms, fur permission to apply for a license
to retail wines and spirits. A letter was read from the
Ferry Committee of the Birkenhead Commissioners,
objecting to the application, on the ground that it would
offer temptations tc the crews of the ferry-boats.

DOCKS AND QUAYS COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of this committee included a recom-
mendation to transfer Mr. Henrichseu from the Hus-
kisson to the Brunswick Dock, at a reduced salary ; and
to appoint Mr. Edward Carey, pier-master, to the office
of dock-master of the Canada Dock.
Mr. LOCKETT, in moving the confirmation of the
proceedings, explained that Mr. Henrichseu had been
removed from the Huskisson Dock, and stationed at
the Brunswick Dock at a reduced salary, on account of
his having been absent from his duty. He had attended
before the committee, and had explained that he was
with some friends at the time and was persuaded to
remain. The committee, however, could not overlook
the offence, as he had gone away without the permis-
sion of the harbour master.
Mr. RANKIN thought the Docks and Quays Committee
had not quite apprehended the instructions given to
them at the last meeting with respect to the appoint-
ment of a master for the Canada Dock. They were not
asked to consider the question of salary, but to appoint
the best man they could possibly obtain. He felt very
much dissatisfied with the arrangement which bad been
entered into both with regard to the Canada and Hus-
kisson Docks.
Mr. FORWOOD asked if Mr. Rankin would state any
particular reason why he was dissatisfied with Mr.
Carer? Whether he received £lOO or £2OO, it
did not follow that he was not exactly the
man suited. —With regard to Mr. Heurichsen, the
committee said there had been some circumstances aris-
ing out of the management of steamers frequenting that
dock, but thought Mr. Henriehsen might not be competent
to manage vessels entering the Huskisson Dock. The
committee thought he might be fully competent to
manage vessels entering the Brunswick Dock.
Mr. DAREYSUIRE believed it was quite understood
that there should be a •very efficient person placed at
the Canada Dock. They wanted a person who knew
not only how to manage ships, but one who would be
able to conduct himself in such a way as to be agreeable
to parties who called upon him. He did not like the
manner in which Mr. Henrichsen had been dealt with,
and thought the committee were bound to state publicly
what the reasons were for the course which they had
taken. He did not think they should disrate a man,
and not give a just cause for it.

Mr. Bouvr said the committee had no reason to
suppose that Mr. llenrichsen had ga into improper
company, but he had been absent from duty, and all
knew that a dockmastcr's absence might be the cause of
serious accidents. They had given a sufficient reason
for what they had done, though of course previous
circumstances on all such occasions were taken into
consideration. He was not aware that any fault had
been found with Mr. Henriebsen's efficti.nlay. Thcre
had been charges of irregularity brought against him,
which had no doubt lea an impression on the minds of
the committee, and influenced them in the decision they
came to.

Mr. FARNWORTH also expressed dissatisfaction with
the arrangements. They did not want a gentlemanly
man, but a practical man, to fill the position of dock
master of the Canada dock. From the appointment
made last week it appeared to him that not the slightest
attention had been paid by the Docks and Quays Com-
mittee to the memorial received by them ; and although

it was referred back for further consideration, a pier-
master had been appointed ; and the chairman should
have stated whether Mr. Carey was the very best man
that-could have been appointed. As to the removal of
Mr. Henrielisen, if that gentleman was not fit for the
Huskisson dock, he certainly was not fit for the very re-
sponsible position of dock master of the Brunswick dock.
It was the most difficult dock in the estate to manage,
and yet they appointed a 'mart in whom they had no
confidence.
The CHNIRMAN assured Mr. Faruworth that Abetter
the committee had acted rightly or wrorgly, or from
want of judgment, they considered the matter very fully.
As regarded the removal of Mr. Henrichsen, they con-
sidered that te had been gailty of a dereliction of duty
which they could not overlook, seeing the position which
he held. He might assign other reasons why other Wen,
whose qualifications had been discussed, were not
appointed to the Canada dock ; brit he thought it better
not to do so. He hoped, at all events, that the appoint-
ments would be allo.wo to remain, so as to have a fair

Mr. kN,A.NS said ho was at a loss to know in what the
timber trade had not been gratified by that board, for
they had been dictating there for a very long period.
It would be very easy to narrate the ihelefaa4able
encroachments of the timber trade upon tlke tiaauces of
the port of Liverpool. They entered into a contract to
go to the north end, hAt they were holding the south
still. Not one word was said then about water accom-
"tuodation, yet they had applied to the board to make
them two docks, which formed part of the contract.
Mr. Lociurr, in reply, said that Mr. Carey had had
great experience in the management of the docks,
although he had only held the appoi4m,ent of pier-
master. As to Mr. Ilenrichsen, there was no doubt of
his abilities, for both Mr. M'lver and Mr. Inman had
stated that, as far is his abilities were concerned, there
wax no question. There had been sonic iittle irregulari-
ties, which induced the committee to think that they had
far better to, remove hin►„ sa that he might have an
opportunity of displaying his ability for the future.
l3roveleflitigs. were then confirmed.

letter was read from Mr. Newall, manufacturer of
submarine telegraphs at Birkenhead, claiming compen-
sation for loss which he had sustained by reason of a
screw steamer which they were loading having been
compelled to leave the dock seven days before her time,
when the water was taken from the dock, inconsequence
of which they had been compelled to, send the cargo to
the ship in flats. The letter v,:,as referred to the solicitor
with instructions to statle, that, though sorry for the
inconvenience to, which the writer had been put, they
could riot entertain the application.
A letter from Mr. Alfred Holt, of Water-street, com.
plaining that the arrangements for the admission of
steamers into the graving-docks were not satisfactory,
was referred to, the Docks and Quays Committee.
letter was read from eating-house proprietors near
the. North Doc cc.l4laining that a person had been
allowed to erect r tent on some waste land in that
neighli,p,arliood without rent, and to retail tea, coffee,
40. therein, Referred to the Docks and Quays Com-
mittee.
A letter from Messrs. Blundell and Sons, coal pro-
prietors, approving of the engineer's plans for the
shipment of coal, and expressing a hope tha.t the
cranes at the North Docks would be maintained for the
Lancashire coal trade.
The Cuxiirm.tx said the;.c was no intention to alter
the system at the North Docks,
A letter: fF,ern, Mr. John Place, jun., the subject of
which did not transpire, was ordered to lie on the table
for the perusal of such members as had the, inclination.
THE SOLICITOR'S SALARY,,
The Special Committee appointed to con,sider the de-
sirability of retaining the whole of the services of Mr.
North, as solicitor to the board, recommended that Mr.
North should be requested to relinquish, his private
practice, and that his salary should he increased to £2,000
a-year.
Mr. mpved the confirmation, of the proceed-.
irrEs, adding, 04 Mr. North was, quoteto give
dried to, the rcsolutionof the com,*.keS hlCettrinig fruit
private practice.
Kr• Evik.W. had never seen the necessity for having
14r. North's services entirely ; but it was quite obvious
that it there was an increase of business it was only
temporary. When they got the property at Birkenhead
arranged, it was out of the question 4,-..5; 6uppose that
there could be any great business for, a solicitor to do
which could interfere with his having private practice.
If they gave him £2,000 a year, they gave him also an
office and clerks, and he should very much doubt whether
he could make anything like that at his private practice.
