THE FERRY COMMITTER

The proceedings of this committee only contained the usual
routine business, and the follOwir;7 statement of receipts and
expenditure, which were as follows ; —For the month of
May. in the year 1855, £2,329 19s 2d' and for the same
month in 1856, £2,&69 23 sd. The weekly rea is from
the 24th of April to the 31st of July, for the two 7,:ciras
were, in 1815, £2,756 is 2d; and for 1856, £3,232 lOs Id.
The expenditure, for, the last mentioned periods, were—for
1855, £1,121 17s ld; and for 1856, £1,t,93 11s Id. ' This
concluded the general business of the board.
The Chairman then read a report, Rhich.he said had been
agreed to by the sub-committee then in London' and who
were watching the progress of the Birkenhead Dock Bill
then before parliament.
The Chairman moved the adoption of the report, and in
doing BD explained (from the plan) the nature of the
,•ecommendations in the report, from which it was manifest
'gest vessels afloat could be docked at low water.
He stated that if Mr. Hartley's plan was not carried, the
entire bill would be thrown out, and that Birkenhead would
again be thrown in the back ground. He mainly explained
the advantage that would be derived by the adoption of the
present plan, which would obviate the necessity of passing
ever the deck bridges. It was proposed that they should
have a landingastage of 1,000 feet in length, a
'portion of which was to be appropriated to the use
of the railways, and that as the depth of water would be
thirty feet at low water, the largest vessel could discharge
its cargo at low water. To this plan the Corporation
assented, but it was opposed by the railway. He concluded
by saying that the advantages derivable from the proposed
plan were so great, that he thought the board would be
--fling the interests of all parties if they were unani.

VIOLENCE OF THE TURNOUTS AT
MANCHESTER.

At Manchester a Serious misunderstanding between
bricklayers' labourers has led to violence, and very
nearly to loss of life. Dissatisfied with the terms given
them by the bricklayers, part of this body of men hare
struck work, but have found a considerable number of
their fellow workmen unwilling to follow their example:
In the early part of the week they commenced the system
called " picketing" the " knobsticks," and a labourer
named Cox was followed to And from his work, and
repeatedly threatened with violence. The police inter-

entered the window, it is probable that either Cox or his
wife, or both, would have been seriously injured Of
killed, but fortunately the boxes 'struck the window
frame and fell back in the street, after breaking four
squares of glass. The miscreants escaped. On Friday
the turnouts proceeded in a body, upwards of NO strong,
to a large building erecting at Piniz.llll Brow, and there
attacked the masons and labourers at work, beating
three so ssverely, that they had to be removed to the
infirmary, whilst several others, carried to their' homes
after the affray, lie in a dangerous state. Many of the
workmen only escaped severe contusions from biickbats
hurled at them by rushing through a canal near at hand.
In the subsequent part of the day, the police apprehended
sixteen of the men concerned in this outrage, who were
brought before the magistrates on Saturday, but were
remanded.
