No doubt Mr. Horsfall's defence of Mr. Hartley is per-

suaded that the Dock Trustees, as well as the public at large,
will eventually find themselves greatly indebted to Mr. Chap-

of instituting an investigation into the management of the
Dock Estate, such as is now going on.

TO Till

DITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
A. young lad, named William Dugan, of this place,
) his father in May last that " he was going up the
Straits in a schooner called the CENTAUR from LIVERPOOL
to GIBRALTAR and CADIZ," after which he was to return
home ; and desired any letter to be directed concerning him
to the " care of John Greene, Sir Thomas's-buildings, Liver-
pool." I have, at the poor father's entreaty, who is in great
affliction at no tidings having arrived of his son, written to
this Mr. John Greene, and also to the Agent at Sir Thomas's-
buildings, but have been unable to obtain any reply. You
will be doing an act of charity in giving insertion to this note,
as it may induce any well-disposed person who knows any-
thing about such a vessel as the Centaur to communicate it
to the father of the boy through me.—l am, Sir, yours
faithfully, G. W. TYRRELL,
Holywood, county Down, Ireland.
