Dock, by removing the bridge at the south end more to
the south, directly opposite to the bottom of James's-
street, and pulling down Mann's Island and the Baths on
George's Pier. I would also make a passage across the
dock, opposite the bottom of Brunswick-street, direct to
the Pierhead ; put a double bridge, not to be opened dur-
ing tide time, across the dock ; and extend the docks more

to the west, 'so as to gain the water space that would be
lost. At the same time I would suggest that the south-
east wall of the Prince's Dock be taken down, and built
in a line with the wall at the south-west corner, and put
a double bridge across the passage, for the convenience of
the new Landing-stage at the Prince's Pier, and the
sit Sheds west side Prince's Dock. I would also

way, and open it on to the Prince's Pier, directly opposite
to the new Landing-stage. I would also put a double
bridge across, not to be opened at tide time, so that when
vessels are going in or out at the south end or north end

DESTRUCTION OF VALUABLE PAINTINGS.—We are
sorry to record the destruction, by an accident, of several
valuable paintings by some of the most celebrated masters,
the property of John Naylor, Esq., of Leighton-1--"
Montgomeryshire. In order to enhance the inter(
taching to the opening of St. George's-hall, Liverpoc
Naylor kindly lent several paintings, valued at
bition in that building. To preys

having been torn away from them. The train was delayed
for a considerable time. It is said the loss to Mr. Naylor,
by this unfortunate accident, is estimated at from £32,000

can ever remedy.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
CHESHIRE ADJOURNED SESSIONS commenced at Knuts-
ford on Monday lait, before the following magistrates :
Trafford Trafford, Esq., Chairman, H. Mainwaring, Esq.,
Lord De Tabley, J. Dixon, H. De Holyngworthe, J. John-
son, G. W. Latham, Jos. Bruckshaw, Jas. Newton, J. H.
Harper, Egerton Leigh, Egerton Leigh, jun., Lee P. Towns-
bend, J. F. France. Ed. Joynson, W. H. Harper, Thos. W.
Tatton, Randle Wilbraham, jun., Esqrs., the Hon. Hugh
Chohnondeley, the Hon. Thos. Chohnondeley, and J. St.
John Yates, Esq.---The Chairman, in his charge, expressed
his satisfaction at the numerous and respectable attendance
of the Grand Jury. He regretted the large increase of
crime, as manifested in the number of prisoners for trial
in the calendar being 117, though scarcely six weeks had
elapsed since the close of the last sessions. He feared that
the ticket-of-leave system, introduced in the last year, had
proved a failure ; and he gave it as his opinion, that unless
the Reformatory Schools, which were being adopted in
several counties, were put on a more permanent system
than that of support by voluntary subscription, these also
would be of no lasting benefit. The magistrates assembled
in their room for the purpose of receiving the report of
the committee appointed at the last sessions, for the con-
sideration of the proposed accommodation of the stores
and staff of the militia regiments at Chester. A long
discussion took place on this subject, which appeared to
divide itself into two separate reports ; but finally the
report was received, and it was ordered to, be taken into
consideration at the January Sessions. The County Soli-
citor was ordered to procure evidence in the case of an
attorney, who, at the October Sessions'at Knutsford, was
reported to have delivered briefs in the prosecution and
in the defence of the same prisoner. The magistrates
present then formed themselves together, with some other
appointed at the county meeting for the purposes of the
Patriotic Fund. Mr. C. W. Potts, the secretaay and the
treasurer, having read the proceedings of the 1 "'
re.norts were laid before the committee of tl
