going; and if it was to be a trading concern, then there
was pluck enough in Liverpool to enter upon the under-
taking. Mr. Dover said he was very much amused the
other day in reading Messrs. Brown and Shipley's letter
to the trustees of the Birkenhead Docks : a number of

questions were asked which he did not think it necessary
should have been put : they were pa'ent to the world.
Mr. B. HALL felt convinced that, unless the Council
consented to an extension of time for carrying out the Act
of Parliament, they would be seriously injuring the estate.
He therefore moved that they should confirm so much of
the dock proceedings as had reference to fires and lights
on shipboard, and to an extension of time for carrying out
the act. As to the recommendation for an Emigrants.

part, as the proposition did not appear to accord with the
general wish of the Council or the burgesses of the town.
Mr. JAMES HOLME contended that -an extension of
time for the completion of the works would cause con-
siderable injury to the owners of property and loss to the

town.
Mr. FISHER. advanced arguments against the con-
firmation of the proceedings.
Mr. Ald. PARKEtt adverted to the report of the dock-
surveyors on the subject of the proposed facilities to the
shipbuilding trade as confirmatory of his previously
expreti3ed opinion.
Mr. SAMUEL. Ilfot.my. was of opinion that it would be
inexpedient for the Council to go to Parliament this year.
This port had gone on prospering ever since it was a port,
and vet fires had never been allowed in the ships in the
docks. lie objected to an extension of time ; and re-
commended that they should at all events remain quies-
cent until they got some new blood upin the Dock Com-
mittee. No harm could result from delay, but, on the
contrary, iimny benefits might arise.

of 32 to 20.

Mr. COOPER then moved that the application to Par-
liament should simply be confined to an alteration of the
Dock Acts so far as to allow fires and lights on board ves-
sels.

Mr. S. Hours seconded the motion.
Mr. DOVER thought it right to state, that, if a bill were
applied for this year by the Council, another would be
sought for powers to rate the docks. _

Mr. COOPER'S proposition was carried by a majority of
40 to 11.
The Council then mejnnrned to yesterday.
