IRON SHIPBUILDING ON TILE MERSEY.

-
On Saturday, at noon, the building yards at the
south end of Brunswick Dock presented an unusually ani-
mated appearance, in consequence of two iron vessels being
launched from neighbouring establishments. The first to
touch the water was the clipper sailing ship Tal , from
the yard of Messrs. Cato, Miller, and Co. She was released
from the stocks precisely at half-past 12, and glided majes-
tically into the river amidst the plaudits of the assembled
spectaton. More than ordinary interest was attached to
the Talavera, inasmuch as she is the largest iron ship built
in Liverpool, tbeing 1,170 tons burthen, o.m. The prin-
cipal dimensions of the Tal aaaaa are : length, 202 feet 6
inches; breadth, 34 feet 9 inches ; depth, 22 feet. She is
very strongly constructed, and the aim of her builders has
been to combine large capacity for cargo with great speed.
in both of which important qualities they have been emi-
nently successful in this, as well as in their former vessels.
Thy Tat is the property of Messrs. Miller, Houghton,
and Co ' of this town. We are happy to add that, not-
withstanding the boasted superiority of the London and
Clyde-built ships, the builders of the Talavera have on hand
large contracts for iron ships, with not only Liverpool
owners, but with both London, Glasgow,and Australian mer-
chants. The second launch was from the yard of Messrs. T.
Vernon and Son, who are well known as the builders of
some of the finest iron vessels which owe their paternity to
this port. The new vessel was a beautiful paddle-wheel
steamer, the Enniskillen, which has been constructed for
the North-west of Ireland Union Steam-packet Company,
to ply between Liverpool and Londonderry. She has been
built on the most improved lines, and is expected to com-
bine quick sailing with large carrying capacity, while, at
the same time, care has been taken to make her a seaworthy
and safe boat. Her dimensions are :-20011. long. ; 26ft.
beam; 15ft. deep; and she will be supplied with side-
lever engines of 320 horse-power, by Messrs. Fawcett and
Co., of Liverpool. Her mode of construction adapts her
equally for sea and river navigation, having a long, fl it
floor, with finely moulded bows, and a clean run, which
will enable her to sail on a light draught of water. Her
figurehead is a full-length figure of an Enniskillen dragoon.
Then was some little delay in liberating her, owing to
vexatious impediments thrown in the way by some of the
journeymen shipwrights, who, with a view of coercing
their employers to agree to exorbitant claims, left the yard
in the morning, and the Messrs. Vernon were obliged
to supply their places by inexperienced hands.—Liverpool

SERIOUS DEFALCATIONS IN THE ACCOUNTS

OF FLINTSIIIRE.

On Wednesday Edward Williams, a clerk in the
employ of Mr. Thomas Wynne Eyton, the county treasurer,
was committed for trial on three charges of embeulement.
Williams, we understand, resided at Trebeirdd, and was at
one time secretary to the Denbighshire and Flintakire Agri-
: cultural Society, and was considered to be an upright and
honourable person. Circumstances, however, occurred,
which dissatisfied Mr. Eyton with the manner in which the
books were kept. The treasurer, therefore, obtained pos.
session of the books; and on examination, his suspicions
11 were confirmed by the discovery of one or two of what ap-
peared to him to be very gross errors. A subsequent era-
: mination of the books by Mr. Roberts, the clerk of the
peace, revealed further inaccuracies equally gross.
These " errors" afterwards proved to be "alterations "
made in the sums total, subsequently to the auditing
of the accounts by the magistrates. The total amount
of the defalcations discovered up to the 18th of October
was about 900/. It appears that Williams has ensconced
himself in what he deems to be a stronghold, in the shape
oft stamped receipt given to him by the county treasurer,
in full of all demands upon him in connexion with the
county accounts. That receipt, however, was given unad-
visedly, and, as it appears, before the extent of the defal-
cations had been ascertained. After the magistrates bad
fully and minutely investigated the affair, they came to the
unanimous opinion that they had every confidence in the
county treasurer, and regretted the loss he had sustained
through the dishonesty of his clerk. We understand that
Mr. T. W. Eyton had recovered some 5001., which still left
him minus 4001. Thus stood the case at the end of October.
A further and more searching examination of the books
has since been made, and we regret to find that defalca-
tions to a considerably larger amount have been discovered.
