ORNAMENTATION OF OUR DOCK WALLS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—Having been absent from town about a month, I
cannot express the surprise that I felt when entering our
river a few days ago, upon the curious appearance that
our dock walls presented from having a quantity of
singular marks in the shape of diamonds, squares, num-
bers, &c., daubed upon them with white paint, and extend-
ing all the length of the docks ; my first impression was,
that my dear old town was about to be disposed of in
small lots to the highest bidder. In great alarm at the
idea I turned to one of my fellow-passengers, w,ho thought
they were intended to make a show from the river. No,
that could not be, for they struck the beholder as anything
but artistic. There was not one on board who could
satisfactorily account for the sudden appearance of those
curious figures. On arriving alongside of the pier I
accosted a boatman with, "My good man, will you oblige
me by informing me for what object those numbers have
been daubed upon the walls ? Looking very hard at me.
he stroked his head, at the same time closing one of
his eyes, and with a mysterious motion of his finger, which
he placed on a parallel with his olfactory organ, he
drawled out, " What can ,you expect from the council? "
He then turned upon his heel, and left me about as wise
as I was before. Whether our friend intended his remark
as a cut at some of our worthy committee, I am not at
liberty to state; but this I know. I have frequently asked
strangers, and have as often been troubled to explain the
real object:of the marks on our dock walls, that at last I
thought there might be one of the numerous subscribers to
your widely circulated paper who would be kind enough
to enlighten me upon the matter, so I took the liberty of
addressing you.—l am, sir, yours, &c.,

EMPRESS EUGENIE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

Sir,—Will you use your influence in calling the atten-
tion of our authorities to the great neglect in watering
the streets? Although the wind has been high and the
sun ho, to-day, not a drop of water has been put upon
either Church-street or Parker-street. The injury done
to the stocks of the various shopkeepers must be con-
siderable, from the clouds of fine dust flying about and
penetrating the smallest aperture, thereby causing great
loss to them, as well as the annoyance to pedestrians—
preventing many from walking in our dusty streets.
As we have a water rate for general purposes (to which
the shopkeepers contribute quite their quota), I presume
part of that is intended to keep the streets in a proper
state; and the attention of those whose duty it is to see
to this should be demanded.—Yours, &c.,
Church-street, June 17, 1856. A SUFFERER.

THE EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIME

Sir,—The only case which has presented itself at the
Eye and Ear Infirmary lately of a wound from an arrow
is that of a boy named James Schofield, aged 7 years,
living in Tarleton-street. It is, therefore, probably the
one to which the letter in your paper of this day refers.
If this is the case, the boy came on Friday last, not on
Wednesday, as stated in the letter, and the case was
entered by myself in the patients' book. After I had
made the entry I sent him to Mr. Poole, who was pre-
scribing for the patients at another table.

He ordered poppy fomentations as mentioned by your
,
correspondent, and also some drops to be put into the eye,
which are not mentioned by him.

On presenting his prescription to the dispenser, the
poppy heads were given to the boy's father, and he was
told to procure a bottle necessary to hold the drops. He
refused the poppy heads, saying he could " get a ha-porth
o' them at home," and he would not go fo.• a bottle. He
was so dissatisfied that the matron took him a second
time to Mr. Poole, before he left. He went away promis-
ing to " report us," and concluded by saying he would
" go back to Nottingham."—Yours, &c.,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

SIR,—I much regret to see in your columns to-day a letter
reflecting on the treatment of patients in the eye and ear in-
.firmary; The letter states that on Wednesday last a patient
was neglected and unkindly received. Wednesday is one of
my days of attendance, and I am not aware of our having
either neglected or treated, except with the greatest kindness,
any poor persons entrusting themselves to my care. On Wed-
nesday last I was at the eye and ear infirmary at twelve o'clock
exactly. I went into the operating room immediately, accom-
panied by Mr. Edward Bickersteth and Dr. Nevins, and per-
formed four operations for cataract. I then went into the
receiving room with these gentlemen, and passed carefully, in
their presence, all my out-door patients but no patient ans-
wering the complainant's description appeared, nor do I believe
ono word of what appeared in the letter ; for kindness and
gentleness have hitherto been the characteristics of our charity,
—Yours, &a. HUGH NEILL,

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A DEAD Bony.—On Monday
evening Ishmael Richards, a porter in the employ of
Mr. Bayley, linen draper, of Maryport-street, Bristol,
was employed in clearing a loft over a stable of the
Swan coach-house, in that street, of some lumber, of
which or 2, .I‘.'t was 11,e'liTi.
v full: He had nearly got
out the whole when he pushed against something round,
which lay close to the wall, and on taking it to the light
found it was a skull. Information was given to the
police, by whom further search was made, and all the
other parts of a human body, apparently that of a man
of middle age, were found. The deceased appeared to
have been in extreme poverty, his clothes being exceed-

ingly tattered and his boots very much worn. There
were some slight remains of black hair, and nearly all
the teeth were perfect. In the coat pocket were a com-
mon black-handled clasp knife (very rusty), an empty
phial, a piece of common comb, and a few beech nuts.
In the waistcoat pocket there was a large rusty nail
wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth. In the opinion of
sonic medical men, the deceased had been dead at least
fifty years. Au inquest was commenced on Wednesday
i before Mr. J. B. Grindon, coroner for Bristol, which was
adjourned till the 18th instant, for the production of
further evidence.

SUNDAY RECREATION

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—l have just seen. in your impression of Friday,
another letter from " Quasimodo," who now boldly takes upon
himself to absolve all Christians from obedience to the deca-
logue, but the result of his attempt, is the impression, that
"the wish is father to the thought," for, assuredly, no argu-
ment is brought forward that can boast of having produced so
remarkable an offspring. Now, sir, Ido not wish to occupy
your valuable space with repeating arguments for the Sabbath,
so often brought forward, for the "onus pro bunch" lies
obviously with those who would abolish the existing state of
things, but to make ono or two brief remarks on this remarkable
letter.

" Quasirnodo's" laudatory remarks on the late scurrilous attacks
of Punch on the Archbishop of Canterbury, which must have dis-
gusted any one, even of his Grace's opponents, who has any pro-
per feeling and sense of the value of argument —attacks too, for
the most part, as devoid of wit as of gooll taste—together with the
passing sneer at the Church of England, aro so unlike argu-
ment, as to b unworthy of notice, and only serve as additional
indications, if such were needed, of the deficiency of that

article.
" Qiinsim)lo" tells us that it would be no difficult

matter to 'move the similarity between his Grace's late conduct,
and that of Peter in striking Alalehiss, it is a pity he does not
attempt to establish this interesting and instructive historical
naralh-1.

" Quasimod,)" then becomes involved in such hopeless con,

fusion about the words type and antitypc, and displays such
a pro Lund ignorance of tho meaning of those terms,
that when he afterwards so kindly pleads on behalf of
the victims of ignorance and delusion, one would be
forcibly reminded of the saying, "A follow feeling makes us

woncirou, k'nd," were it not that the writer does not appear
at all to labour under distrust of his own powers, However,
to pass by this, why does not " Quasimodo" inform us (for we
confess, on this point, to belong to the ignorant and unlearned,
and therefore fit objects of his compassion) in what conceivable
sense is the Sabbath a type, or, as he would call it, an ante-

type, of anything yet fulfilled ?
He proceeds to assert that, to say the type is not complete
in itself is at once to demolish it. Any one who understands

the meaning of the word will see that the reverse is the case.
His pious horror of what he calls " inculcations of the antetype,"
evidently proceeds from the same misconception.
In conclusion, if any Sabbath•breaker, at the commencement
of " Quasimodo's" letter, was buoyed with hopes of being
absolved, from what he would consider the irksome commands
of the decalogue, I am sure that, at tho end of it, he must feel
that his fetters were more firmly rivetted, and, in the bitter-
ness of his disappointment, exclaim, " Save me from my
friends."—Yours, &c., AUDI -ALTERAN •PARTEX.

TOWN DUES

TO Tlfl EDITOR OF THE NORTEIERN TIMES.

Sir,—The thanks of the inhabitants of the "good old town
of Liverpool " are justly due to you for the ability and
earnestness which you have displayed in advocating the
right of the corporation to the Town Dues, and the fear-
less intrepidity with which you attack all local abuses.
You have already exposed the fallacy that the shipping,
manufacturing, and commercial interest will derive any
benefit from the Local Dues Commission Bill.

The transparency of this delusion is manifest from the
fact that, that the bill does not provide for the abolition of
the Town Dues., but morely for the transfer of them to the
Board of Trade : and hence the strong presumptive proof
that no efficient relief will be given to commerce by the
change ; while, on the other hand, the passing of such a
bill would 'unsettle and render insecure the constitutional
right of property throughout the kingdom.
But without speculating upon the probable effects of the
bill, let us just glance at the certain operations of it upon
the inhabitants of the town.
We are informed that if the Town Dues are abolished,
a Borough rate must be substitu'ed ; therefore, whenever
this rate is imposed, it will undoubtedly be apportioned
among the inhabitants according to the parish assessment.
hence, every householder may immediately make himself
acquainted with the amount of the extra charge which he
will then be called upon to pay: for instance the Town
Dues amount to about £120,000 per annum, and the Poor
Rate to about the same sum; consequently we have only
to refer to the charge made for Poor Ra'es, and that will
inform us nearly of the exact amount which each indi-
vidual will be called upon to pay on account of the loss of
the Town Dues. But this rate, it must be remembered,
will fall exclusively upon the shopkeepers and other
householders in the ancient Borough of Liverpool. There.
fore let the house owners within these limits consider how
this species of legislation is likely to effect t:teir property,
which has been purchased upon the faith of the stability
of the corporate rights. The apathy of your kcal cotem-
poraries upon this important subject is most unac-
countabl.—Yours, &c., A RATEPAYER.
Liverpool, 17th June, 1856.

THE UNITED STATES ARMING ENGLAND

It is a curious fact that American mechanics excel all
others in the manufacture of fire-arms, and are at the
present time filling large contracts for parties in England
representing the English government. Sharp's arms,
particularly, are in high favour, both the carbine and
rifle being in largo demand. They are claimed to
combine simplicity of construction, rapidity of firing
and extraordinary range, with perfect accuracy and
unequalled safety. An order for 25,000 American
rifles, with the Minie sight and knob for the " lock
bayonet," is in course of execution at the extensive
works at Windsor, Vt., and is now probably half
completed. Another order for 10,000 Sharp's rifle,
also on account of parties in England, is in course
of fulfilment at Colt's factory in Hartford. In order to
avoid any collusion or mistake as to the construction of
the arms, English gunners personally inspect and stamp
them as completed. Sharp's arms are peculiarly well
adapted for cavalry service. The remarkable success
which has been gained in this country in the manufacture
of fire-arms is further illustrated by the fact that machin-
ery, to the value of 220,000 dols., such as i 3 used in some
of the large American establishments in this department
of mechanics, has been made at Windsor, Vt., and sent to
England, and is now probably very nearly in readiness for
operation. To ensure its excellence, it was particularly
directed that it must not only be made by Americans, but
must be taken out and set up by Americans, and, finally,
Americans must be employed to control and superintend its
operation. Accordingly some of our accomplished artisans
are now employed in the English workshops. This arrange-
ment is in part the result of an investigation made in the
United States, by direction of the English Government,
with reference to the manner and cost of making firearms.
It was proved that the same arm made in England, at a
cost of about 9 ,dollars, was made at the Springfield
armory for only a trifle over 3 dollars. The success of
American mechanics here noticed, is a matter for con-
gratulation. The English Government have given the
American rifle a very thorough test, and always with the
most favourable results.—New. York Journal of Commerce.
