THE BIRKENHEAD STRIFE.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE MILITARY.

It will doubtless be as gra'ifying to the public to learn,
as it is to us in being enabled to state, the fact, that the
dispute between the dock labourers and their employers
has terminated in an amicable manner to both parties.
We trust that the good feeling which has now
arisen may continue during the whole term of
the contract—an event of the utmost importance
to the whole community hereabouts. The military
yesterday forenoon marched off on their return to head
quarters at Manchester. Great praise is due to the whole
authorities for the energy they have displayed during the
disturbances, and we are glad to find that the exertions
of the police have been duly acknowledged by the watch
committee, and the following grateful acknowledgment
by the Messrs. Thompson will speak for itself:—
" Contractors' Office, Wallasey Pool Dock Works,
Birkenhead, March 4, 1857. Dear Sir,—We beg to
inform you, for the information of the magistrates, that
the strike of our workmen is now over, and everything is
going on as peaceably as before. We have got plenty of
men, and have more at work than before the strike took
place; so that we don't apprehend any further breach of
the peace, and think the military may be withdrawn any
time. We also beg, at the same time, to thank the
magistrates for the prompt manner in which they granted
us assistance ; also, for the great trouble they have taken
in helping us to protect life and property, and in
preserving the peace. We also thank yourself and Mr.
Drew for the advice and assistance you have rendered.—
We are, dear sir, your obedient servants, for Geo.
Thompson & Co, Wm. Dransfield. Townsend,
Esq., clerk to the magistrntes, Birkenhead."

TAE ROMAN POLITICAL PRISONERS.-7-A correspondent of
the Risargimento, writing from Rome on the 20th ult.,
asserts positively that it was arranged by Cardinal An-
tonelli to send a great number of the political prisoners
confined in the Papal States to Naples, in order that they
might be transported with the Neapolitan prisoners to
South America, under the provisidna of the treaty between
the King of Naples and the Argentine Confederation. The
matter went so far that the Roman Minister of Finance
was actually instructed to charter a vessel be which these
Roman prisoners were to be conveyed from Ripagrande to
Naples; but for some cause or other, the arrangement has
been superseded;
