The mode in which this is likely to be effected is
thus stated in a very able letter addressed to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, by John Gladstone,
Esq., which will be found in another part of our
paper:—

to any inconvenient and temporary locality within
their reach, whilst they had not taken steps to pro-
vide for them locations of anything like a permanent
character for the future ; but, on the contrary, had
permitted two valuable properties, which might have
been made available for building purposes, to pass
from their hands. The Harrington property, it is
true, has since been re-purchased by the present
Committee, but not until required for Dock pur-
poses. The Herculaneum property, however, may
now be said to he permanently divorced from the
town. It will indeed be used to feed its commerce.
As a railway terminus connecting our Docks with
the traffic of the south and east, it will doubtless
contribute largely, even in its present hands, to the
prosperity of the Port. But, no better site being
available, we must say that we should have preferred
seeing it appropriated for building yards and graving
docks, and owned by the Dock Trustees. In fact,
we cannot see now where adequate accommodation
for tha building trade, upon the value of which to
Liverpool we need not enlarge, is to be found ; and
must fear, as the result, that instead of our con-
tinuing and increasing that trade, we shall see it
dwindle away into the comparatively insignificant
one of patching and repairing the productions of
other localities.
