BIRKENHEAD DOCKS BONDHOLDERS.--Yesterday,
a meeting of the bondholders of the Birkenhead Docks was
held at the London Tavern, to consider means of completing
the works; the chair was taken by Sir J. L. Goldsmid. The
chairman said the point for consideration on that occasion
was whether dr not it was desirable that the bondholders
should in some degree forego their rights by consenting to
the issuing of preferential shares for the completion of the
works. Such a step should, in his opinion, lie ,accempanied
with a change in the trust. He would suggest that a corn-
nrittee should be form to consider the subject, and to frame
a proposition. Mr. Winch, a trustee, stated that the amount
which was necessary for the accomplishment of the object
was 203,000/. The interest payable to the bondholders was
27,5901. a year; the preferential charge would make an ad-
dition of about 10,0001. a year; and the question for con-
sideration was whether by consenting to the issue of pre-
ferential shares, the bondholders would not, in fact, promote
their own interest. After some discussion a committee was
formed to inquire into and consider the present state and
condition of tne Birkenhead Dom trust, and the best means
for raising the funds necessary to complete the works, and to
confer with the committee to- be appointed by the Dock
Company thereon. The committee to consist of Messrs.
Adolphus, Harold Littledale, F. Goldsmid, A. Henderson, R.
Gardener, and the Rev. James Hawkes.
THE LATE GENERAL SiD. FRANCIS THOMAS Hen/-
MOND, G.C.H.-This venerable general officer, whose de •
mise we recorded yesterday, was for upwards of forty years
attached to the Court df George IV., and was for a consi-
derable period Chief Equerry and Clerk Marshal to that So-
vereign. Since 18'31, he held the appointment of Lieutenant-
Governor of Edinburgh Castle, valve 180/., per annum-now
abolished. Sir Francis entered the army in 17e0, and at-
taine4 the rank of full general in 1837. He was actively
employ'ed during the early part
„i?f the war. In 1819 lie
was personally knighted by the lung. He was a Deputy.
Lieutenant of the cdUnty of Suffolk, in which he held con-
siderable property. Sir Frencis was born in 1767, and mar-
ried, in 1803, the second daughter of Admiral Sir Richard
King, Bart.
