Failure of the Negociations far the
Purchase of the Birkenhead Docks.]

A special meeting of the Dock Committee was held this
day, at one o'clock, Mr. J. Bramley-Moore in the chair,
for the purpose of having placed before the committee
that gentleman's account of the course of the negociations
for the purchase of the Birkenhead dock estate. He stated
that the first communication upon the subject was made
by letter from Mr. Barnett to himself, in reply to which
he informed that gentleman that he was reads, to receive
any overtures, and submit them to the Dock Committee.
The next was to Mr. Lace and himself from Mr. Gold-
smidth and other bondholders, expressing their wish to
negotiate. They had several meetings, subsequently, at
which the full amount of the Bonded Debt was demanded,
but it was not until the Monday—the day preceding
the meeting of the Committee—that they had a definite
offer which they could entertain. That offer was to take
£341,960 for the Estate, or 15s. in the pound upon
£455,000, made up as follows—
Subscribed by bond £422,950
Other sources

£455,950

The estate had due to it—from the
Birkenhead Warehouse Company £50,000
Birkenhead Commissioners
They had expended in law expenses £30,000, and £63,000
was due for interest. In all this made a sum of £198,000
which the chairman thought he was justified in striking
out, leaving it to the parties to realise the money so ap-
plied. There was then £257,000 left. No credit, how-
ever, was taken for the money spent upon Woodside Pier ;
and the cost of the plant was now to be deducted. Tak-
ing Mr. Rendel's figures, which gave the extreme case,
£225,588 had been expended in works ; and, including the
plant, £286,385 was the utmost for which they could ne-
gociate. Upon this sum the chairman had offered 6s. Bd.
in the pound, which, presuming the amount lent should
be recovered, would make about 9s. 10d. in the pound
for the bondholders. The payment was to be 'n Liver-
pool Dock Bonds bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent.
The offer was made by letter ; and the bondholders, met
in the City to receive it, returned for answer a refusal.
Here, therefore, the negotiation ended.
Mr. Bramley-Moore's statement was listened to with
great attention ; and his conduct throughout the negocia-
tion was highly approved by the Committee, who left
with him full powers to entertain any further proposal
that might be made on the subject.
At the commencement of the proceedings the Chair-
man announced that the Liverpool Dock Bill had passed
the House of Lords.

diate friends are under great apprehensions as to the state
of his health.
IMPORTATION OF ARMS.--A vessel arrived in the river
from Gibraltar has brought several packages of muskets,

all that concerns the happiness, comfort, and permanent
welfare of her faithful and loyal subjects, of whom they
form so important a Dart.
EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—On Saturday, whilst
the workmen were engaged in an excavation in Union-
street, Southwark, they came upon an immense mass of
human skeletons, which were lying piled with the great-
est regularity, without any admixture of earth or the
remnant of coffins. It is calculated that at the very
least there are the remains of from five to six hundred
persons. Considerable excitement prevails in the neigh-
bourhood, it having been discovered that this spot was
used to bury the dead during the great plague of London.
EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—Few persons are aware
of the extensive emigration which is going on from the
port of London to the Cape and all the Australian colo-
nies. Ships, freighted with men, women. and children,
sail daily from Gravesend to all parts of South Australia
or the Cape of Good Hope, and numerous others are being
taken up to supply the constant demand for accommoda-
tion for conveyance to those colonial possessions. On
Thursday we visited a remarkably fine ship at Deptford,
engaged to convey emigrants to Sydney. She is named
• the Castle Eden, and is of about 900 tons new, with ac-
commodation for 230 men, women, and-children.

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—On
Friday morning early, a boiler connected with a puddling
engine of the iron works of Mr. Jeffries' Harts-hill, near
Dudley, burst with a tremendous explosion, which was
heard two miles off. The men who had been working
during the night had just left, and fortunately compara-
tively few of the day-men had arrived, when the accident
occurred. The brickwork in which the boiler was encased
was torn asunder, and propelled in every direction. The
roof of the works was blown completely away ; several large
furnace chimneys were smashed to atoms ; and the ruins of
the whole fell upon the unfortunate men who were at work
in the premises, or who were about to begin work. Por-
tions of the boiler and brickwork were thrown immense dis-
tances; and, some of them falling into the neighbouring
workshops, rendered the whole premises a complete ruin.
A portion of the boiler, weighing not less than 26 cwt.,
was blown a diatance of! a quarter of a mile. Up to Fri-
day night ten bodies had been extricated. Several of them
have left wives and families. Amongst the persons injured
was a girl who was 150 yards from the spot, when a brick
alighted on her head, and hurt her very severely.
THE DIORAMA. REGENT'S PARK, LONDON.—The new
picture (for this season) is a view of Mount Etna, painted
by M. Diosse, pupil of M. Dagurre, and is designed to
show the various effects of light and shade by which
dioramic views are distinguished. The point of view
appears to have been remarkably well chosen, being a spot
near the ruins of the Theatre at Taormina. The picture
is seen under three different aspects—evening with moon-
light effects, sunrise, and night, or in comparative dark-
ness, and under the representation of an eruption of the
mountain. The picture appears almost the place it rep-
resents, the pictorial illusion producing an apparent
reality. The perfect representation of interiors of build-
ings had been before obtained, and is an easier task. The
evening view is remarkably beautiful as regards the sky
and clouds, and is worthy of great praise. The view by
sunlight is brilliant and well toned, the coloring being
subdued by the tints of nature, and having less of the
gaudy glare by which some pictures of this class have
been disfigured. The view of the eruption is also well
managed ; there is no scenic effect and nothing is exag-
gerated.—Times.
ATTEMPTED DISTURBANCES BY THE IRISH IN LONDON.
—On the arrival in London of the inteiligence of
Mitchel's conviction, various clubs of Irish assembled,
partly armed with muskets and pikes, in Clerkenivell-
green, where they were harangued by a Mr. Williams,
with other speakers, by whom they were requested
to follow him four abreast where he would lead
them. The procession moved through the city to
Finsbury-square, where the word was given "to the
west." They then proceeded by Leicester-square to
Trafalgar-square, increasing in numbers as they went
along, and encouraged by exhortations to "be firm,"
" the time has now arrived," &c. Here, however, they
were stopped by a strong body of police, when they were
addressed by the leaders, who said that they had been
disappointed in their expectations, and advised them to
disperse, and meet again on Wednesday evening.—On
Tuesday a similar demonstration was attempted, but the
police were prepared, and being ordered to clear the
streets, they were obliged to resort to violent measures.
Several persons were knocked down and severely injured.
—On Wednesday a third attempt of the same kind was
made ; but a large police and military force, particularly
a troop of Life Guards, caused the crowds instantly to
disperse.

AN INNOCENT MAN IMPRISONED.—The Doncaster I
Gazette notices a singular disclosnre which has recently
been made at Gainsbro'. On Easter Monday, an alarm
was created by the continued ringing of the bell at the
Grammar School. Numbers of persons hastened to the
spot, and found the servants greatly alarmed, in conse-
quence of an attack which they stated had been made on
the house-burglars. From the description given of one
of them, a man was taken into custody, examined before
the magistrates, and the girls swearing positively to his
dress and voice, he was committed to Kirton gaol. All
these facts were made public at the time. From state-
ments made, it appears that, on the Monday evening allu-
ded.to, two young gentlemen made a call on Mr. Willan,
and as the servant girls were alone in the house, as a
matter of precaution they asked the names of the persons
who demanded admittance; this was twice refused, and
the girls naturally enough became alarmed, rang the bell,
and the visitors becoming perplexed in return walked
away, and actually met several persons coming to render
assistance. Some days elapsed before they became aware
that a man had been sent to Kirton on the charge of at-
tempting a burglary ; and they put themselves in commu-
nication with the magistrates' clerk, who at once wrote to
the secretary of state, detailing the above facts. No reply
was received, and the poor fellow had been in gaol since
the 26th of April last, suffering for a crime of which he
was-innocent, until Sunday last, when the clerk received
a communication from the secretary of state, granting
the man a free pardon.
DOUBLE MURDER IN HUNTINGDONSHIRE.—On the
30th ult. a lengthened investigation took place into the
death of Harriet Burton, wife of Charles Burton, huckster,
and Mary Ann, his daughter, both of whom were found
with their throats cut at Stilton, in the morning of Mon-
day last. At the close of the proceedings a verdict of
" Wilful Murder" was returned against Charles Burton,
then in custody. Since Monday the miserable man has
confessed to the surgeon who attended him the particulars
of the sanguinary deed. He said, " I first cut my wife's
throat, when she was between asleep and awake, but find-
ing herself wounded, she jumped out of bed and rushed
towards the window, whence she shrieked ' Murder!' I
then immediately cut the throat of my little girl, and hav-
ing done so, I rushed at my wife, and, clasping her round
the waist, I repeated the stroke across her neck. She
then fell dead at my feet. I then made an attempt upon
my own throat, but I was seized before I accomplished
my purpose." Upon being questioned as to the cause
which induced him to commit the rash act, he said,
trouble caused me to contemplate suicide. I intended to
destroy myself; but, knowing that I should leave my wife
and children in penury, I thought it best that we should
all die together." It appears that, on Saturday night,
when the unhappy man went to the razor grinder's for the
purpose of getting his razor sharpened, he was disap-
pointed in the rtceipt of a sum of money left him by a de-
ceased relative, and, having contracted a few debts, he
was fearful he should not be able to discharge them ; hence
the awful occurrence. On Wednesday he made a will,
leaving the whole of his property to his son George, who
was absent from home at the time the fatal deed was com-
mitted.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF Two SISTERS.—Two young
females, sisters, named Ellen and Jane Hughes, aged re-
spectively 19 and 15, were recently in the service of a
gentleman named Cooper, at Southampton, when the
elder girl was dismissed for impertinence, and her sister
refused to remain without her. They were seen by seve-
ral persons during the two or three following days, and
seemed in good spirits, though they said that rather than
go home to their mother, who was cohabiting with a man
to whom she was not married, they would throw them-
selves over the quay. They had both complained of ill-
treatment from their mother, and the younger girl had
been severely beaten by the man, previous to their going
to service. On Monday, the Bth ultimo, according to the
evidence of their mother, they called at her house at
Horton Heath, and told her of their having left their
place, and said they were going to another situation. She
accompanied them back into Southampton, when they
gave an address as the place they were going to. On Sa-
turday morning, the 13th ultimo, between seven and nine
o'clock, they were again at Horton Heath in their mo-
ther's garden. She asked them the reason of their being
there, when they told her they had got a holiday, and
come to see her; that they had arrived at ten o'clock the
night before, but as she was gone to bed they did not like
to disturb her, and they had been lying there all night.
They went in and had breakfast with her, and remained
till two o'clock, when they left, as they alleged, to go
back to their place in Southampton. Ellen said, " Mo-
ther, go down to the bottom of the garden with us."
She went, and they then kissed her, and said, " Good
bye, God bless you," after which she saw them no more.
On Tuesday, the 16th, having suspected that something
was wrong, she went to Southampton and inquired for
the address they gave her, when she found there was no
such person or place, nor could she hear anything of
them. The last that was seen of the unhappy and un-
fortunate girls, after this, was by a person named Wm.
Purkiss, who saw them sitting on the rails of the bridge,
over the brook in which they were found, at six o'clock
on the same evening of the 13th. Their death occurred,
no doubt, very shortly after this time, as they were not
seen afterwards alive. The bodies were found several
yards from the bridge, and had probably floated down the
stream. They were lying clasped in each other's arms,
their arms being round each other's waists ; and they
appeared to have been in the water seven or oight days.—
Hampshire Independent.
DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CAPTAIN AND C REW
OF A BRIG BELONGING TO HULL.—For some months

past great anxiety has been felt by many parties in Hull
in consequence of the non-arrival, in due time, of the brig
" Viatka." She was commanded by Captain Chambers,

and left Archangel on the 30th of September, bound for
Hull. All the other vessels from that port arrived suc-
cessively, though late, but the Viatka did not appear, and
after a lapse of time was given up for lost. Nothing was
heard of her until the 30th of March, when intelligence
reached this country that she had put back into Jokan
Harbour, in Cape Sweetnose Bay, on the 20th of Decem-
ber, with her cargo much heated, but the crew all safe.
Information was subsequently received of her arrival at
Berwick on the 26th ult., and on Wednesday last she ar-
rived at Hull. She had on board a cargo of linseed co-
dilla. Off Cape North she encountered a succeesion of
hurricanes from the S.W. The linseed, in consequence,
became so much heated that great fears were entertained
that she would take fire. The captain bore up for Ham-
merfest, but, through stress of weather, she did not reach
it, and, after other hardships, rea.thed Jokan Harbour.
There the frost set in, and the island, as described, is one
of the most dreary which the imagination can depict. Not
a single human being was to be seen anywhere around,
and the whole landscape was a vast ridge of mountains,
covered with snow. The state of the weather and the
cargo precluded all possibility of reaching Archangel or
any other port, and they were therefore obliged to remain
in this desolate region. On their arrival their provisions
became so diminished that they were constrained to put
themselves on a most limited allowance. Their fresh water
also failed them, but of this they supplied themselves from
the snow. In this miserable position they continued for
six weeks without seeing a single inhabitant. On the 25th
of January they at last descried some Laplanders who had
come down to procure food. The captain succeeded in
making them understand that he and his crew were on the
brink of starvation ; but they were little better off them-
selves. They took the captain4o Ponoi, sixty miles up
the country. He spent one night with the natives on his
way, but suffered dreadfully from the cold, not having
necessary clothing. On the following morning he started
with them in a sledge, drawn by rein-deer, for Ponoi. He
reached Ponoi in eight days, but his sufferings during the
journey from the cold were indescribable. During the
time that Capt. Chambers was away the crew were re-
duced to such a condition that they actually cut up all the

spars they could spare, and even the warps, to make fires.
It is utterly impossible to describe:their miserable position.
On arriving at Ponoi, Capt. Chambers succeeded in for-
warding letters to time British consul at Archangel, and
obtained money from that place, which enabled him to
purchase food for himself and crew from the natives. He
also bought a winter dress, such as is worn by the natives,
as he had experienced the most excruciating sufferings
from the cold. Capt. Chambers, on returning, found his
crew all safe, and with the money he had got he obtained
about three weeks provisions, with which scanty supply
they set sail. They received some assistance from several
vessels on their howeward trip, and arrived at Berwick on
the 26th ult. The crew are now quite recovered after their
great sufferings.
The case of the " Queen v. Sugden," which remained
over for judgment since last term, was decided on Tues-
day in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dablin. Sir Edwd.
Sugden had appointed his son to the Assistant Registrar_
ship of the Court of Chancery, which appointment was
impugned by the head clerk, Mr. Kelly, who 'claimed the
appointment under Lord Plunket's Act, which regulated,
inter alia, the promotion in the Chancery Court. The
case came before the Queen's Bench by quo warranto,
and judgment was given in favour of Mr. Kelly. Thus,
the appointment of the ex-Chancellor in favour of his son
has been set aside. It is likely the matter will come be-
fore the House of Lords.
