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 Inhabitantsof Birken-
head, Claughton, Oxton, Tranmere, Bidston, Seacombe,
Liscard, and Wallasey, in the county of Chester,
Sheweth,
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, fzc., 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, Sec

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 ?" Vat : " Och, nothing plase yer honor ; but I
only tuck a drop yesterday- for novelties, and novelties it
was for me, sure enough ; and greater novelties still for
me to have yer honor's company to-day : it's not every
day that same happens." Pat was then informed that a
still greater novelty was in store for him,—that was to pay
ss. or suffer five days' imprisonment.
" BLACK SHEEP. =Yesterday, two bakers, respectively
named Denis M‘Gowan, and Thomas Bridge, were
brought up before Mr. Rushton, and charged with com-
mitting a riot and assault upon each other in Whitechapel,
on Saturday evening last. When asked what they had to
say in their defence, one of them alleged that the other
had applied the opprobrious epithet of " black sheep" to
him, and hence arose the quarrel ; whilst the other as
stoutly maintained that his brother " black sheep" was
in fault, having first applied that offensive nomenclature
to him. They were both fined, and then left the court.
STEALlNG.—Yesterday a very neat and decent-looking
young servant girl was charged before Mr. Rushton, by
her mistress, Margaret Cogrer, with having stolen from
her house various articles of wearing apparel, and a quan-
tity of tea. It appeared that the articles had been stolen
for some time, and that the mistress arrived at the know-
ledge of her having done so from confessions which the
prisoner made herself. The prisoner having stated that
she made these confessions in consequence of a promise of
forgiveness which the mistress made her, the case was re-
manded for further-inquiry.

HOUSE BREAKING.—On old offender, named William
Bingham, was yesterday brought up, and charged by In-
spector White with breaking into the house of William
Crumphey, Vauxhall-road. It appeared from the state-
ment of White, that he found the prisoner in the house
about one o'clock on Sunday morning last, all the inha-
bitants of it having previously gone to-bed; and when
found he had a quantity of tobacco, cigars, and some
copper money in his possession, and strewn about him.
He was then in a beastly state of inebriation. The land-
lord of the house deposed that he had locked up the pre-
mises about a quarter to twelve o'clock, when he was
quite certain there was no person in who did not belong
to the house. Committed for trial.
ACCIDENT TO THE TYNWALD STRAMElt.—Yesterday,
we regret to learn, another accident, trifling in its nature
and consequences, occurred to the fine steamer Tynwald..
When leaving the pier-head for Douglas, her bow got
foul of an American ship's rigging, which was then lying
in the river, having just come out of dock. In the colli-
sion the Tynwald lost her bowsprit and some trifling por-
tions of her forward rigging, but nothing so dangerous
occurred as to prevent her proceeding on her voyage with-
out the least delay. We have been requested to state
that, from the recent accident which occurred to this
boat, no such damage ensued as that stated in a contem-
porary,—the ship's bottom was neither broken nor other-
wise injured.

CommumENTs.—Patrick Flyn and John Lancashire,
yesterday committed from the Police-court, for 14 days,
for stealing a bar of pig iron from the Queen's Dock.—
Bidy M'Guiness was also committed for a month for
stealing a loaf from the shop of Robert Howe.—Thos.
Martin was committed for three months, in default of
paying a fine of £3O, for working a private still in Law-
rence-street.—Jane Taylor, for stealing a pair of boots from
the shop of Mr. C. Waist= , Byrom-st., sent to the sessions.
James Higgins, was committed for seven days, for break-
ing the " van," whilst being conveyed to the bridewell in
a state of intoxication.—James Jennings, was committed
for three months for knocking down and robbing a sea-
man, in Park-lane, on Satnrday night last.—Martin Wilie,
was also committed for three months, for assaulting
Police-constable 629, whilst on duty on. Saturday night
last.

IMPOSITION ON THE PARISH.—A woman named Kelly
was brought up before Mr. Rushton, and charged by Mr.
Reynolds with attempting to commit a fraud on the parish
authorities. He stated that he was engaged as assistant
to Dr. Cullan, and that on Saturday last the pri-
soner came to him, and sought for a note from him,
by which her husband—whom she represented to be
ill of fever—might obtain relief. She said that her
husband was then confined to bed in a court off Mil-
ton-street. He (Dr. Reynolds) visited the abode of
the family, who, when he went there, were all from
home. After waiting for some time, however, the woman
came in, and he asked for her husband. She then said
that he had gone out, as he had got into a great passion
because the relief tickets had been refused him. He had
since made some enquiries and had seen the man himself,

and he believed that, although he was not infirm, he was
not able to work. Mr. Rushton ordered the prisoner to
be discharged. -
THE EAST INDIA SALT MONOPOLY.—An Elector of
Liverpool has addressed his fellow-electors on this sub-
ject. He urges that they should select such men for rep-
resentatives of the borough as will pledge themselves to
measures of practical utility, and amongst them the
abolition of the East India Company's Salt monopoly.
The writer states :—" The abolition would release several
weeks of the poor Indian peasant's labour ; give him a
great necessary of life at a comparatively trifling cost ;
and enable him to devote his time and his savings to the
cultivation of sugar, cotton, and other products of the
earth. But apart from this, the abolition of the monopoly
of the manufacture of India salt we ild open the ports
of India to the reception of pure, cheap, British salt ;
load our outward-bound ships with profitable cargoes ;
afford myriads of natives the means of buying our cot-
ton piece-goods, our hardware, crockery, glassware, &c. ;
improve the quality of the East India hides, and so
cheapen leather in this country and extend its consump-
tion. These are advantages in which the humblest En-
glishman will more or less participate."
