DOCK COMMITTEE

CAPTURE AND RECAPTURE OF A BRITISH

The following important letter, dated Gibraltar, Nov,
8, was received yesterday morning by Mr. Court of the
Underwriters' rooms :

" The brig Three Sisters, Foster, master, from Glasgow
and this port, bound to Malta, was attacked on the 2nd
instant by pirates off the coast of Barbary, and taken pos-
session of. The master and crew (eight in number)
escaped in the jolly-boat, and were picked up a few hours
after by the Dawn, from Alexandria, and brought here.
The Three Sisters had on board 800 barrels gunpowder,
400 barrels herrings, from Glasgow, 15 hogsheads tobacco,
five bales manufactured, and a quantity of cocoa taken in
here.

" Her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus went off last night
in search of the captured vessel, with the intention of
communicating with the English Consul-General at Tan-
giers on the subject." _

" Gibraltar, 10th November. 1848

"Sin,—The foregoing is a duplicate of my memoran-
dum sent per Jupiter. The captain of the Polyphemus,
Maclererty, fortunately would not take the bad advice of
our governor to proceed at first to Tangier and consult
with the Consul-General, but started direct for the coast
of Barbary in search of the brig, which he found anchored
in a little creek near Cape Tres Forcas, with hardly room
for the steamer to turn in. The pirate on board the
brig jumped overboard on seeing the steamer, and swam
on shore, and Captain Macciererty then found that pre-
parations were made to give him a warm reception. A
number of men with long muskets were stationed amongst
the brushwood near the beach, and the cliff round the
cove was lined with armed men to the number of several
hundred, having, besides their muskets, one long gun.
The steamer ran at once into the cove and laid the brig
on board, when the pirates opened a heavy fire, in the
midst of which the prize was brought out, but not until
four of the crew, including the second lieutenant, Mr.
Wasey, were wounded. Lieutenant Wasey received a
ball in his arm, near the elbow, one seaman was shot
through the thigh, the other two were slightly wounded.
Yesterday the steamer returned with the brig in tow.
The pirates had made the most of their time, the sails
and running rigging were all gone, the cabin and fore-
castle gutted, and a considerable part of the cargo, includ-
ing four boxes of Scotch handkerchiefs, and it is believed
the gunpowder, was carried off. A large fire was lighted
on the brig's deck when she was boarded, and it is very
probable that had time been lost in going to Tangiers first,
as recommended, she would have been burnt before the
steamer could have reached. Great praise is due to Cap-
tain Macclererty and those under him for the prompt and
gallant manner in which this service was performed.
" I am, sir, yours respectfully,
"M. H. BLAND.
" To Thomas Court, Esq."

LOCAL MEETINGS.

SELECT VESTRY.—At the meeting on Tuesday Rector
Campbell presided. A report was read from Mr. Brown,
the Government Inspector of Schools, in which he stated
that the children at the Workhouse Schools were pro-
gressing satisfactorily, and that the industry of the chap-
lain was very manifest.—A letter from Rector Campbell
to Sir George Grey was read, relative to the increasing
immigration of into the parish—the number who
arrived on Sunday week having been 1087. The letter
alluded to the mass of Irish who arrived last year, the
cost of whom to the present time exceeds £40,000, and
the consequen&.e of which was that 4000 houses in the
borough are now unoccupied. The parish wished there-
fore for some instructions how to act in the matter. In
reply, Sir George Grey said that government could not
interfere in any way to prevent the immigration, but that
by a recent act the remedy provided by the legislature was
the power of removal back to Ireland of the persons ap-
plying for relief. The chairman then said that the Vestry
must therefore help themselves, and meet importation by
exportation ; and the inhabitants of the town would help
the Vestry by determinately refusing to give any money
to unknown beggars in the street. It appeared that the
steam-boat proprietors bring the Irish from that coun-
try at ls. a head, and will not take them back for less
than 2s. 6d.—The health of the town, it was stated, was
unusually good ; the peuper funerals for the past month
had been only 34, whereas in the previous month they
were 49, and the month before 54.—From the report of
the medical officers it appeared that the staff is to consist
of a non-resident physician and surgeon, a house-surgeon,
and an apothecary,—the three first to be paid at the rate
of £lOO per annum each, and the apothecary £BO and
rations. Several applications were received, and, after
divisions had been come to, Dr. Burgess was appointed
physician, Dr. Gee, surgeon, and Mr. Steel house-
surgeon ; and the services of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Leather
were ordered to be discontinued at the end of three
months. Mr. Gildhersleeves was elected a district
medical officer in the place of Dr. Torbuck.

At the meeting of this body on Thursday, Mr. Nicol,
the deputy-chairman, presided. There were also present
sixteen other members. Mr. J. Bramley-Moore sent in
his resignation of the chairmanship of the committee, and
in doing so bade the members " an affectionate and grate-
ful farewell," thanked them " for the great kindness and
indulgence which he had received as their president, and
for the unbounded confidence always reposed in him,
which he could say conscientiously had never been abused."
The following passage from the letter is highly import-
ant

'When I accepted the important office of Dock Chairman, I
found the estate prosperous, and with a large surplus—a sur-
nlus sufficient to enable you, with due regard to the bondhold-

ers, to make considerable reductions in the dues in 1844, and a
further reduction during the past year to the amount of about
.140,000 per year. It is highly satisfactory for me, after a care-
ful examination of the accounts, to be able to state, that not-
withstanding these reductions in favour of the commerce of the
country, the estate exhibits a surplus of income over expendi-
ture of .e 35,761. In arriving at this result, the interest on the
entire bond debt, including the new north docks and purchases
at Wapping, is charged to the debtor side, and not added to
the capital. The tonnage inwards during the present official
year, as compared with the corresponding period of last year,
say from the 24th of June to this date, is also a gratifying cir-
cumstance, the increase being 26,371 tons. _ _ _

On the motion of Mr. Molyneux, a vote of thanks was
passed to Mr. Moore " for the able and zealous manner
in which he has defended and promoted the interests of
the Dock Estate for a period of seven years, and his cour-
teous and impartial conduct in the chair during a period of
five years." Mr.. Tobin,. as the oldest member of the
board, seconded the motion, and said that no chairman
could have given more satisfaction than Mr. Moore. They
were very much obliged to him for all that he bad done.
The various committees were then appointed. On the
Warehouse Management Committee, Messrs. Saunders,
Rankin, Bold, Henderson, Mann, and Molyneux were
proposed as members.—Mr. Aikin thought that if Mr.
Robinson were appointed on this committee, it would
save several thousands a year, as he was intimately ac-
quainted with warehouse management, and there were
warehouse-keepers in the town who had conducted a
much larger business than the committee had to manage,
at a tithe of the expense which it cost the committee.—
Several members thought that the appointment of Mr.
Robinson, when there was no vacancy, would imply a
vote of censure on the committee.—After some further
discussion, the committee was appointed, without inclu-
ding Mr. Robinson,—Mr. Mann first observing that
these warehouses were a novelty in Liverpool, and the
committee had to contend with many great difficulties,
and against the opposition of almost the whole town in
the management of them. Let a man be ever so conver-
sant with the up-town warehouses, he was as a child
when he came to these warehouses, and he had to unlearn
much that would be beneficial in the management of
other warehouses. The expense of management had been
vastly increased in consequence of the opposition they had
to contend with from the warehouse-owners, the land-
owners, the merchants, the brokers, the warehousemen,
the carters, and every individual. -The sub-committee
had been watched with a lynx eye; and if by any possibi-
lity an error was detected, then came a claim against the
dock estate. He thought it would be hardly right that
any alteration should take place at present. Up to three
month; rotas average cost on goods was 151(1. per
ton, but wit i.c , ..t• !act three months the cost had been
reduced to 114 d. a ;‘,n, and they had great hopes—indeed
a certainty—of reducing it considerably still; therefore,
the present committee ought to have the credit for any
thing that occurred in the cheapening of the charges.

ANECDOTE OF SIR THOMAS PICTON.—When the army
was crossing the Pyrennees, Sir Thomas Picton soundly
rated a certain commissary for neglecting to forward the
supplies for the troops ; and concluded by assuring the
commissary, with an oath, that, if the supplies were not
at hand by a certain hour on the following day, he would
hang him on the nearest tree. The commissary made all
haste to lay his complaint before Lord Wellington—" And
did Picton say that he would hang von ?" "He did—he
swore he would." "Then, Sir, I advise you to have the
supplies up in
time ; fort depend upon it, Picton will keep
his word,"
