STRANGE PROCEEDING OF THE PROMOTERS
OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL.

Before these remarks come before the majority of our
readers, the fare of the above bill, of which the third
reading was last night to be moved in the House of Lords,
may possibly he 'decided. What may be that fate it is
therefore scarcely worth while now to speculate upon.
From our present information. ,however, so, strong is the
feeling which has been excited in the minds of certain
members of the house, by a proceeding of which we
give the particulars below, that we understand a motion
would be made last night for the re-committal of the
bill, if nut for its being thrown over for the present
session.

It is sell known that, by the enclosure of Wallasey
Pool, a space containing 160 acres of safe anchorage and
beaching, ground, which they have enjoyed frOm time im-
memorial, will be lost to the coastinz trade and shipowners
of the Mers,y ; and it naturally became an object with
those parties to take care that something like an equiva-
lent should be provided for them. Accordimlv, upon the
introduc'ion of the bill in the House of C,mmon., a pe-
tition against it (the ordinary mode of proceeding in such
cases) was presented by the- Shipowners' Association ;
upon which an.arrangement was effected between the pro-
motes and the petitimers, which will be best understood
by giving here verbatim the original clause affecting their
interests and the amended clause agreed to be substituted.
The Clause (No. 128) in the original print of the bill in
the Cortimovs wag as follows :
"Provided - •
also, and he it enacted, That the rates hereinberore
mentioned shall not he charged. in respect of any vessel of less than
one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near
Woodside Ferry from any. port or place within the United Kingdom,
and not remaining therefor a longer.period than TFIRP.EI TIDES."

The same clause, as altered by the agreement entered
into, w!is as follows, the alterations being shown by
Italics :
" Provided also, and -be it enacted, That the rates hereinbefore
mentioned shall not be charged in respect of any vessel of less than
one hundred tons register, entering the said intended basin near
Woodside Ferry, from any port or place within the ,United King-
dom, and not remaining there for a longer period than seven days ;
nor shall any rate be charged for a longer period, if such vessel
shall he inward t-r outward bound, and remain Within the last.
mentioned basin for shelter only, and not for loading or unload-
ing."
Here, then, were two distinct boons gained ; first, the
Substitution of seven days for the very inefficient period
of " three tides," as that during which vessels might lie
in the basin free of dues ; and secondly, the provision that
vessels-remaining beyond the seven days, for shelteronly,
should remain free of dues. And on the following agree-
ments bring endorsed on the foot of the bill, viz.,—
"On behalf of the Shipowners' Asociation, I approve of the al-
terations in this Bill, clauses 1'27, 128; 143, 145, 146,150, and 151.'
"JOnN NORTH,
Secretary of the Shipowners' Associarion."
"On behalf of the promoters of this Bill, I agree to the above al-
terations being inserted in the Bill, as Parliament may direct.
"Jost. en ),lALLABY, sMarch, 1844."
the petition of the Shipowners' Association was withdrawn,
in the full confidence that the clause agreed upon would
be faithfully inserted in the bill.
The bill went into the Commons ; not, however, with
theclause inserted in itwhich hadbeenagrcedupop with Mr.
North, but with a totally different el, nee, suggested (in
ignorance of any previous agreement having been entered
into) lay the Lords of the Admiralty. By this clause the
period for vessels to remain in the basin, free of dues—the
unprompted suggestion, by the bye, of their lordships,
who saw the insufficiency of the period of three tides first
pro-osed—such period was -extended to six tides, with a
provision to meet the emergency of .gales of wind or ad-
verse winds; and the House of Commons extended that
.period to eight tides, in which shape it passed their House
. and was taken up to the Lords.
When in that house Mr. Mallaby stated, in explana•
tion, that-the admiralty bad "insisted" upon the inser-
tion of the clause as inserted in the bill (the eight tides
clause) "instead of the -one which was arranged; and
Net, in reply to a noble lord,, he confesses,—" I believe
they were not made acquainted with the,previous arrange-
ment" with the shipowners!
In corroboration of Mr Mallaby's refutation of him-
self, with respect to this " insisting" of the Lords of the
Admiral' y, a letter from the secretary states, under date
of the llth instant, " that their lot dships made no specifie
obj-ction to the coaste=rs remaining seven days in the
basin." , Mr. Mallaby adMitted •furthr in the hcute
that no explanation, as to the arrangement come to, was
offered to the House of. Commons.
The cross-examination of this gentlemen by Mr. Tal.
but, on the 10th instant, ,-and,the evidence of Mr. John
North. in reply, we give in full . •
" cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT.—Did you eser comninnieate

Mr. TA I.Brrr.--Do you mean to say that there has been no time

Mr. TA LBOT.—When ?
Mr. MA LLABY.—In the Committee of the House of Commons.
Mr. TALBOT.—Heroic the clause was discussed?
Mr. MALLAny.—Yes, before th.,clatises generally were discussed."
Co m rnre with the above the straightforward explana-
tion of Mr. North :

"Mr. TALBOT.—At that time did you first become acquainted
with thr fact that the clause introduced into the Bill speaks of
eight tides and not of seven. days?
Mr. NORM—Upon Saturday last.
Mr. TALBOT.—There is 110 mistake about that?
Mr. Nottnr.---Not the smallest. I can explain it if von wish.
Mr. Clay, who is concerned for the Coasting Trade, applied to me,
as I had been concerned for the Association, for some assistance.
which I willingly gave him. • In the course of our conversation I
told him incidentally, that the coasters were to have seven days' ex-
emption from (Fick rates in the Woodside Coasting Dock. On Satur-
day last, Mr. Clay, I believe, for the first time, bud in his hand the
Act as it is' now before your Lordships' House, and, bearing in mind
his conversation with me, his attention was attracted to the clause
now in question,whicb only gives eight tides. Became immediately
to me to ask for an explanation of it. I said it was impossible. I
could not believe the fact till he showed it me in print. I was quite
sure I could produce the evidence of the agreement whirl, bad been
made, and I opened the box in which the papers of the Shipowners'
Association were kept, and produced the
Mr. TALBOT.—That was the first intimation you hurl of the
change?
Mr. Nowrn.—YE S.
Mr. TALBOT.—Had you ever seen the Bill before then
Mr. NORTH.—NO, I may have seen the Bill, hut I do not think
that I ever opened it.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Her Majesty. Queen Ade-
laide will return to England from the Continent on the
23d instant.
BOLTON, SUNRAY MORNlNG.—Considerable excite-
ment prevails in this town in consequence of a threatened
turn-out of the 'whole of the operative cotton spinners in
the Bolton district. I stated in the Herald three weeks
ago that the spinners of Bolton had given notice to their
employers that they would leave work at the end of a
month unless their wages were advanced 10 per cent.
The term of notice expired yesterday and- to-day, and as
no satisfactory arrangement had been come to most of the
operatives left work at the time fixed. The consequence
is that many of the mills are now stopped for want of
bands, whilst some of the-masters have readily complied
with the demand of their workpeople, and have agreed to
give the advance required. Most of these masters hale
made a condition that, unless the advance be made general,
they will come down to the price paid by their neighbours.
At present everything is in a state of the greatest uncer-
tainty. Many people think that on Monday morning the
masters generally will give the advanced price, whilst
others say, it is very probable that a compromise will be
come to, the masters agreeing to pay five per cent. advance
on the present rateof wages. There are others, however,
who declare their determination not to give any advance
whatever, and in this state things remain at present.
The operatives,, I understand, have called an extraordi-
nary meeting of delug,tes from all the mills in Lan-
cashire, to be held in Manchester, where it is said some
definitive course will be adopted, not on y as regards
Bolton, but other towns in the manufacturing districts.
