MEMORIAL TO GOVERNMENT OF THE
INHABITANTS OF BIRKENHEAD.

A memorial to the Commissioners of the Woods and
Forests, praying them to give consent to the bills now
before the Lords, was sent up yesterday for presentation
by the members of the county. It was signed by 6000
signatures, being the greatest number of names ever at-
tached to a similar document from that place : and will
be followed up by a similar petition to the House of Lords
praying them to pass the bill :
The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of Birken-
head, Claughton, Oxton, Tranmere,. Bidston, Seacombe,
Liscard, and Wallasey, in the county f Chester,
Sh meth,
That a Bill is now pending before your Right Honourable
House, intituled "A Bill to authorize the Birkenhead Dock
Commissioners to construct an additional Dock and other
Works at Birkenhead, and for other purposes "
That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the establishment of
Docks at Birkenhead will prove of the utmost importance to
the commerce of the river Mersey, and the interest of Birken-
head and the surronnding districts. •
That your petitioners hailed with much satisfaction the open-
ing by the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's Woods, &c., of
a portion of the Dock Works connected with Birkenhead.
That your Petitioners quite approve of the steps taken by the
Birkenhead Dock Commissioners in their application to Par-
liament in the present session for the above-mentioned Bill.
That, in the opinion of your Petitioners, the Dock sought to
be authorized by that Bill, will be of great advantage to the
Town and Trade of Birkenhead and the surrounding districts;
and the immediate establishment of Graving Docks will be a
considerable accommonation to the Trade of the Mersey.
That your Petitioners observed with satisfaction the Report
of the Lords of the Admiralty to Parliament, in favour of the
passing of the above mentioned Bill.
That independent of the importance it is to the Works at Bir-
kenhead, that the New Dock and Graving Docks referred to in
the Bill should be constructed, there are numerous clauses in
the said Bill very essential to the economical and expeditious
carrying on of the Trade which may frequent the Docks.
Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Right Honour-
able House that the said Bill may pass into a Law.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.

NOVELTIES.-A broad-faced good-natured looking
Hibernian was yesterday brought up and charged by one
of those officious persons commonly known as police offi-
cers with having done a little more than " swell the cork"
on the day previously. Mr. Rushton : " What have you
to say ?" Pat : " Och, nothing plase yer honor ; but I
orlv tuck a drop yesterday for novelties, and novelties it

_Ay
was for me, sure enough ; and greater novelties still to,
me to have yer honor's company to-day: it's not every
day that same happens." Pat was then informed that a

LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL

SPAIN.
(From the Times.)

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 4th instant, M.
Murillo and the other members of the last Cabinet had
addressed a letter to the Correo, in which they declared
that, to their knowledge, the King had never manifested
any wish to be invested with the superior direction of the
royal patrimony and the interior of the palace. Messrs.
Mon, Pidal, Sanz, and Caneja, on their side, had written
a similar letter to the Faro, in which they affirmed that,
under their Ministry, the King had never claimed the
government of the palace, nor the administration of the
royal revenues. The Heraldo announces that the
ministry had opposed an invincible resistance to the mar-
riage of the Infanta Josefa with General Portillo, and that
Count Ezpeleta was to be charged with the education of
the minor children of the Infante Donna Francisco de
Paula. The journal La Union had ceased to appear.

Since the foregoing was in type, the Madrid letters and
journals of the sth instant have reached us.
The Madrid Gazette of that date contains a royal de-
cree for the complete renewal of the provincial deputa-
tions. The elections are to take place in conformity with
the law of the Bth of January, 1845.
Some curiosity has been excited at Madrid by the de-
parture of the Progresista deputy and freetrader, Don
Sanchez Silva, for Saragossa, the bearer, it was said, of a
communication of importance from General Serrano to
Senor Cllozaga, who is at present at Saragossa.
