TO THE EDITOR. OF THE. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES

A Sound Constitu-

Mr. Jeffery, the candidate for this ward, is sounding his

points for which hoen4eavours.to obtain credit,—which,

gesses,. are ot. a very

doubtful, if not very,Objectionable, character.
I allude, first, to the novel intention of rating the
Dock Estate, as it appears to many to involve a species
of suicide, for it is the docks that Liverpool is indebted

which.has

increase of business in its•various branches

many at

,epers who have resorted to it frOm a distan4(

may think the .docks for the success

icy hay

Secondly, I cannot consider the town at all obliged
to Mr. Jeffery, or his friend, for putting the. hurgesses
to an enormous expense for the preparation of a volumi-
nous.return of the particulars of the corporation estate,
which can be of little interest but to those feiv of the
community who
.possess, or job in, house property., and
who might obtain all the information they require at
the Town-hall, without difficulty.

The public will, therefore, be saddled
.with a heavy
charge to gratify the whim of a very
.few, and the
like many of those called for by members of

returns,

THE POST-OFFICE IN CHURCH STREET

TO THE EDITOR 01

you be kind enough, through the mediuni
of your valuable columns, to allow me to make. an

enquiry, viz.:—flow is it that no person has yet been
appointed to keep open a Branch Office in place of the
one so long open in Post-office Place, Church-street ?
I assure you that I hear numerous complaints from
'tradesmen residing in the neighbourhood, and have
myself been put to great inconvenience by having to
send all the way to the General Office. lam sure that
the matter only requires to be ventilated for measures
to be taken to remedy the inconvenience.—Yours, &e.,

A TRADESMAN

THE GREAT EASTERN

AT HOLYHEAD

TO THE EDITOR OF THE .NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.
SlR,—Your correspondent, " Another of the Public,"
is quite right iu saying that the London and North-
Western Company have only a monopoly of carrying
The passengers from the shore to the ship ; but, he should
see, that is the thing I complain of.
I will, with your kind permission, endeavour to make
this grievance quite clear. There are several boats ad-
vcrtised to run from Liverpool—the Stork-,.City of Aber-
deen, Sea King, &e.; but they will not be allowed to run
alongside the Great Eastern, and thereby give their pas-

;ngers the direct advantage which this mod

veyanc(
land as

best they can, and make flieir way to the London
and North-Western office for a ticket of admission to
the ship, and also for the ferry.
If your correspondent thinks the London and North-
Western Railway Company are about to perform the
latter service for passengers arriving by steamboats, free
of charge, he iS greatly mistaken. " The London and
North'-Western," says Mr. Yates, " will also receive the
admission money on the pier ;" and, he might have
added, the ferryage money too. I repeat, that to put
passengers to the inconvenience' of landing from such
boats as I have named, and force them to pay the Lon-
don and North-Western for conveyance in such boats as
they have engaged, is only like a job,*and clearly against
the interests of the ship shareholders.
