EXTRACT FROM CAPTAIN NICHOLLS' REPORT., PROPOSED NEW HABOUR AT STOLFORD, a little to the Westward the small village of tolord, or.stoword, in the Bristol Chan o n f el, and directl y opposit S e to f the tail of the Gore Sand; an extensive ledge of rocks called the Wick Rocks, runs out to low water-mark. This ledge covered at about half flood, and con sists of firm ridges of Lias rock of considerable eleva tion, and forms a shelter on the W. and N.W. to a kind of bay, or patch of soft mud, which spreads ont within it to the extent of nearly a mile ; the whole, however, ebbs dry at spring tides, out to the extreme point of the Wick Rooks; but, notwithstanding this circum stance, the place appears to me, after repeated exami• nations, to afford all requisite facilities for an entrance to the proposed Canal, and for the construction of substantial piers for the protection of shipping resort ing thither. A Harbour formed here would be without all the dangers which beset the entrance to the river Parret, excepting cooly the Gore Sand, on the outer extremity of which a buoy must be placed. The fiat of mud within the Wick Rocks is now used occasionally by small vessels, which there deliver and receive their car goes of coal, kelp, &c. Vessels corning from the North ward may always, at about half tide, cross the tail of the Gore Sand, and by doing so would make a straight course into the entrance of the proposed Harbour ; and vessels from the Westetard would have no difficulty or danger of any kind to encounter in entering it. If an artificial harbour of sufficient extent was con structed here it would remedy the chief defect of Bridgewater Bay, which only wants a place of refuge for vessels to run to in stormy weather, to become a valuable roadstead. The entrance to this_harbour would' face the N.E. and be opposite to the Gore Sand, which would in a great degree protect it against the sea in N.E.' gales ; in every other direction it would be sheltered by the range of coast, and by the piers which would be-con - structed on the Wick Rocks. If it shall be determined to form a harbour at Susi ford, it will I think be desirable to carry the piers out to low water mark. Vessels drawing twelve or four teen feet, will then, on the springs, always be able to enter at an hour and a half's flood, or even sooner ; and during neap tides, as the water does not ebb out so low by six feet, they would be able to enter at all times ea. tepting for about an hour at each period of low water s, and this will, I apprehend, be qu . ite sufficient for gene.' tal purposes. The depths increase rather suddenly from low water mark just without the Wick Rocks, and from seven to nine feet will be found in a line between the entrance to the proposed harbour here and the tail of the Gore Sand at low water spring tides—on the neap tides from twelve to fifteen feet will be found in this line, at tbel lowest ; and a little without it, and all over Bridgewater Bay, vessels s ill find good anchorage in from three to six and eight fathoms. The deepest water along this coast is from Little Stoke up past Benhole Point to the Wick Rocks: these last, forming the termination as it were of those masses of rocky cliff:, which, extending up from the «'estw ard, here meet and repel the flood tide as it is thrown over from the Ness Point on the opposite shore, and turn it in a North-easterly directkai towards the Holmes.— There seems to be no probability, therefore, of arty ac cumulation of mud collectir.g here to interfere with the navigation, or to impede the entrance to any artificial basin or harbour which may be constructed. If a harbour was formed at Stolford, connecting with the proposed Canal, it would afford great facilities to vessels proceeding to or from Bridgewater and the River Parret, as they may here enter and depart in safety at nearly all states of the tide. It would, how ever, I think, be advisable to have an entrance likewise at Coomlawich Reach, so as to ensure the greatest pos sible convenience for vessels of all sizes and denomina tions to enter and depart from the Canal under every variety of circumstance. The ground within the linerofsoast about Stolford is low and flat, and seems to be very suitable for the formation of basins and docks on the most extended scale ; indeed, the natural advantages of this place, as regards the proposed object, ale of the highest order, and leave little to be wished for beyond what may be supplied by artificial means. I certainly think that it will be advisable to form a floating dock here, into which vessels may be admitted by locks from the outer or tide harbour. The Holmes Light and the Light at Burnham will be excellent guides in approaching towards or leaving the proposed harbour; and with the addition of smaller lights on the pier heads, will enable vessels to enter or depart without pilots nearly as well by night as in the day time, which is an object of considerable importance. A secure harbour at Stolford will, as is before stated, remedy the great defect of Bridgewater Bay, and serve as a place of refuge into which vessels will run for shel ter during the prevalence of westerly gales, and at all seasons when they cannot safely anchor in the open bay. If, however, a vessel shall, in gunning up the Bristol Channel, with duly blowing weather from the westward, get off the entrance to the proposed harbour about the tune of low water, or when there is not a sufficient depth for her to enter (to indicate which proper signals must be established) there would be sea room enough for her to turn to windward until the tide had flowed to a sufficient de e th; or if it shall blow very heavy, it might be advisable for her to run over to Penarth Roads, and anchor under the high head there, where ves sels now seek for shelter in such circumstances, and wait there until it became more moderate. lf, moreover, it shall happen to blow a strong gale from the west%%ard when a vessel is entering the Bristol Channel, it may, perhaps, be expedient for her, as is now often done, to bring up in Blue Anchor Bay, under shelter of the high land at Minehead, and remain there till the gale abated before she ventured to run up for the harbour ; but in either cf these cases a vessel would be within . a couple of hours sail of the place, and Blue Anchor Bay to the Vest, and Penarth Roads to the North-east, may therefore be considered as most valuable appendages to the proposed Harbour at Stolford. PROPOSED HARBOUR AT BEER, IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. Seaton Bay is formed by the lofty projecting Point of Beer Head on the West, and - Culver Hole Point on the East side. These Points are about four miles apart, bearing nearly E. by N. and W. by S. from each other, and on the shore, about equidistant from each of them, stands the small town or village of Seaton. The bay is free from shoals or other hidden dangers, and over the whole space, both within and outside these points, there is excellent anchoring ground, the bottom being a stiff clay, in depths of from four to twelve fathom , at low water. Seaton Bay forms the apex or centre of the great Bay included within the Start Point 4nd 'Bil; of Portland, the whole of which lies open to southerly winds, which throw in a heavy sea over this entire range of coast. . The little Hay or Cove of Beer is situated in the N. W. angle of Seaton Bay, and is bowl/led on the N.E. by White Cliff Point, and on the S.W. by , a bold lofty ridge of land, called Beer Head, or rather by a smaller projection in the shore within the' head, called Hall Point. The space included between White Cliff Point and the Hall Point, which is known as Beer Bay, is of small extent, these Points not being quite half a mile apart; it is however completely sheltered by the high cliffs, which extend to and form Beer Head, from all Westerly winds, as far to the Southward as S.W. or B.W. by S. but from this quarter, all round to E.N.E. it is open and eiposed. To remedy this defect, and to form a Harbour which shall afford shelter for shipping in East South-Easterly winds, it is proposed to construct a substantial Pier or Bieakwater, running out into twenty-four feet water at lyw water spring tides, on a ledge of rocks which ex tend in a South-Westerly direction from White Cliff Point. As far out as the Hall Point, a part of this ledge ebbs dry at present, and yields 'some little pro. tection to the fishing boats and small craft belonging to Beer. In addition to the Pier on the Eastern side, it will, think, be highly desirable, as has also been proposed, to extend another Pier from the Hall Cliff Point to pro tect vessels in harbour from the imun of the sea, and against the effect of Southerly winds. These two Piers will form a secure shelter for the harbour in. whatever direction the wind may blow. It will, more over, I think, be right to form a basin of pretty consi derable dimensions in the vicinity of the outer hat boor, to serve as a kind of inner harbour, where vessels using the Canal may conveniently lie ready either to proceed along it to the Northward, or to enter the English Channel. Having twice very minutely examined all the lo calities of the pidposed Harbour at Beer, on one occa sion dining a gale of wind frran W.S.W. and at the other time when it was blowing strong at S.S.W. and having moreover carefully considered the effects which will be produced by the Piers intended to be con structed there, both to Easterly and Westerly w incts, I confidently declare my opinion, that vessels of 900 tons burthen will not find any difficulty whatever in entering the harbour, when it shall be completed ac cording to the present plan, at any period of the tide, and in any state of the weather. The shelter which will be afforded by the high land of Beer Head to the proposed Harbour and to vessels approaching towards or leaving it in westerly winds is so effectual, that if it blew a hurricane in the offing a ves el will no sooner have gotten within the head than she will instantly be calmed, and may enter the harbour with perfect ease. When it blows strong atEast or South east, some precaution will of course be necessary in ap proaching the entrance, and care ought to be taken to make the vessel snug before she approaches to the pier heads , but when once she has hauled within them she will be perfectly sheltered and may ride out the 1 heaviest gale in safety. The Portland Lights are distinctly visible from the proposed harbour at Beer, and will be of great service as a guide to vessels departing from it at night. These lights too will serve to guide vessels in their approach to the harbour, and with the aid of smaller lights to be placed on the pier heads, will enable vessels to enter it at night, if the weather is moderate; and should it be stormy, the lights will be a good mask to point out to vessels their n ue situation when plying off and on in the bay, waiting for daylight to enter the harbour. As an outlet from the Ship Canal, I consider the proposed harbour at Beer perfectly unexceptionable ; and it possesses advantages in this respect which it would, perhaps, be in vain to lurk for el ewhere. All the objections which have ever been raised against it appear to hinge on the supposed prevalence of southerly winds, during which it has been contended vessels will find it difficult to work out of Seaton Bay and the great Bay without it. The fact, however, is, that the wind rarely blows horns across the English or Bristol Channels either from the northward or southward, and scarcely ever for any long continuance; but rather, as has been before stated, it assumes the direction of the coast; if, however, it shall happen to blow so strong at south or south-east that a vessel cannot get out of the harbour, I am quite sure that she will be in a better situation there, until it moderates, than outside in the Channel. I think that the proposed harbour at Beer, when it shail be completed according to the present plan, will become a place of considerable resort as an asylum har bour for coasters and other vessels navigating the Eng lish Channel. Such a harbour is much wanted, as at 'present there-is no place of shelter along the whole coast from Portland to the Start, and vessels embayed between these points in strong south-easterly gales are exposed to hazard, more especially in the long winter nights, having no port to leeward for which they can run. With this view, then, generally, as well as for the uses of the Ship) Canal, the vessels frequenting which will necessarily require a considerable space for their accommodation, I strongly recommend that the pro posed harbour at Beer be made 'as large as the nature of the situation will admit of; and that all practicable facilities be provided there, to expedite the entrance and departure of shipping. I ought perhaps here to add,whatl sincerely think, that the plan of taking the Canal at once on to Beer Harbour is, in my opinion, infinitely preferable to that which was laid down when this subject was under discussion some years ago; for if the entrance harbour could have been formed where it was "then proposed to construct it, in Seaton Bay, and if it could have been kept free from shingle, vessels could not have entered into it, except ing in moderate weather ; and the difficulty and delay in transporting them thither from Beer Harbour would have been so considerable as to deter vessels from using either the one or the other to the extent that the pro moters of the Canal had a right to expect, from the large sums of money which would have been expended in the formation of these two harbours. Atriong the natural advantages of Beer Harbour may be reckoned a plentiful spring of water, which issues out from under White Cliff Point. This might be con ducted along the Eastern Pier, and would serve to sup ply any number of vessels with water, in the shortest I time, and the most convenient manner possible. During war, the facility of procuring a supply of water in such a situation would be an important accommodation to our fleets and cruisers; and as the water is peculiarly fine, and keeps remarkably well at sea, the procuring a supply of it here would probably conduce to the health of the crews, as well as to a saying of time and expense. The harbour at Beer will, I think, i i its character and consequences, be very similar to the proposed har bour at Stolford ; it will, in short, Ire the same to the great Bay between Portland and the Start, that the, latter will be to Bridgewater Bay and the Bristol! Channel—each of them will serve as ports of refuge for vessels in stormy weather, and both of these places will, in my opinion, be fit terminations for the proposed Canal. The following shews the amount of Tonnage which may be ek pected to pass through the Canal after it shall be completed : 1:•—1 consider that the whole line of country from five miles south of Taunton and Langport to the shores of the English Channel, and for every con siderable distance on each side of the Canal, will eventually, if not immediately, derive from it their supplies of coals, timber, groceries, dry goods, and all other articles of import. This comprises an ex tensive and populous district, including the large and opulent towns of Iloniton, Ilminster, Avnins ster, Chard, and Crewkerne, beside several consi derable villages. The entire population of this dis trict cannot, I imagine, be less than 50,000, which, reckoning that each person consumes a ton of coals per annum on an averag%; and this, including the consumption of manufactories and gas works, is low average, wili require 9 0 , 000 toes. ut as the coals for the supply of the country bordering on the Canal will not be carried along its entire length, and as I wish rather to keep witbin than 'to exceed the reality, 1 will take the quantity of coals for the whole line at only one half, or 45, 000 tons. The quantity of groceries and other g oods I for the supply of the same district may be safely taken at 15,000 cons more, making a total of l ikr,ooe tons 2.—1 consider that the whole of the South coast of England, and the country within it, will even- Wally be supplied with coals from the Welsh ports by means of the Canal, as it will be thence that the best article for general use may be pro cured, and at the cheapest rate. The quantity of coals consumed along the Southern shores of the kingdom has been variously estimated at front 1,4C0,000 to 2,000,0(K) of tons. I will take it 1,000,000 of tons only, and I will suppose that of this quantity no more than one half will pass through the Canal, or 300,000 tons Lias cone for paving, and which also burns into lime of the very best quality, and flints for the roads, exist iu the greatest abundance along the proposed line of canal, and at the point where it will join the Bristol Channel, the shore for massy miles is covered with ass almost Inca hasistible accumulation of bits'e pebbles, similar in quality to the Aberthaw limestone, which is de servedly held in such high estimation all over the kinkolom. That these valuable materials will be carried along the Canal and distributed over the Southern p 3119 of England cannot be doubted ; and I am confident that I shall be very far within the amount in reckoning the annual tonnage front this source at only 30,000 4.—lt appears by the Parliamentary Returns that 5088 vessels passed round the Land's End lbst year, between the Western and the Southern ports of England—nearly all these would, I ant persuaded, have passed through the Canal had it then been formed, and we may calculate on the whole of them doing so hereafter. The amount of their registered tonnage was 410,675 tons, but I will suppiose that only one half this quantity will pass through the Canal, or 205,557 tons s.—lt moreover appears, that 1295 Foreign vessels passed round the Land's End last year to and from Foreign ports and the Western ports of England, whose cargoes amounted to 191,801 tons. Now all the motives which can be influen tial with our own coasters to avoid the Land's End, and to go through the proposed Canal, must operate still More powerfully with Foreigner's, who are comparatively ignorant or our Coasts, and who entertain the greatest dread of them. I be lieve, therefore, that the whole of these Foreign ves sels would have used the Canal; but I will only reckon here on two-thirds the amount of their tonnage passing through it, or 127,868 tons 8. It also appears that 1471 British vessels en gaged•in trading between Foreign ports and the IVestern ports of England, passed round the Land's End last year ; their registered tonnage amounted to 178,020 tons, and r will suppose that only half this quantity will pass through the Canal, or 89,010 tons 7. It appears, lastly, that during the last year 96S vessels, with 106,855 tons of cargo passed be tween Ireland and Foreign ports; and also that 1622 vessels, registered at 145,275 tons. passed be tween Ireland and the Southern and Eastern coasts of England—nuking a total of 2590 vessels British and Foreign, with 249,956 tons of cargo, which passed round the Land's Ent to and from Ireland. What proportion of this would have passed through the Canal. had the option of doing so existed, I have not sufficient information to enable me to estimate with accuracy, not having visited any of the ports of Ireland fur the purpose of obtaining it ; but as a considerable number of these vessels were Foreigners, it will perhaps not be thought too much if I reckon on or.e-third of their tonnage, or 85,512 tons Taal number of Tons estimated to pass through the Canal annually 1,095,527 At id. per tan per mile the above estimated number at tons will amount to £4564 13s. 11d. chargeable for every mile of transit; and as the Canal will be forty-four miles in length, as trea sured on the new line, it will produce a clear an nual revenue of - X 200,846 12 4 To this must he added a tonnage rate to be le vied on all vessels taking refuge in or using the proposed Harbours at Beer or at Stallord ; and also on vessels proceeding along the Canal to Bridgewater and the !fiver Parret. The amount annually from these sources will, I think, on an average of years, tie at least io,tioo 0 0 Clear income arising from the Canal and ap plicable to a dividend among the Proprietors - £210,846 12 4 It is calculated that the Revenue to be derived from the internal traffic on the Canal will cover the expense of management, and maintenance after it shall be completed.

Yesterday, Ton&ldler appeared to answer a charge of purloining a pointer, the property of J. Brown. Complainant said, that nn the 15th September last he went into Mr. Belcher's house, followed by a favourite pointer. Upon com. plainant's leaving he forgot the animal, and quitted the house with out hint. Ile did not recollect his dog until long after, and on making application for it to Mr. Belcher, he was told that the pointer had left tke house. The complainant then imagined that Mr. B. bad taken a fancy to his dog, and consequently directed his Solicitor to write him a letter, demanding the animal back again,. or be amenable to the hws of his country for thefeieny in desaining it. This letter was treated with indifference. Tom, in his defence, said that be knew nothing of Mr. Brown's dog; that he certainly had a dog with him at tke time he came to his (Mr. B.'s) house, and tl a. the animal remained in the parlour when he quitted it, but that he quitted the house unknown to any one. Tom described Mr. B. as a most troublesome customer, coming at all hours to his residence, sometimes in the dress of a, countryman, with a smock-frock on ; at others in a robe deckambre, without a ig, and a pack of dairty or forty boys after Wm. gir loUAin, in dismissing tba Ater' tad ißroin tiat theie wai no charge of felony against Mr. Bekher, and advised Mr. Br av a to be careful in making charg2s of such a nature. NI Alt LB4SItOUO 11-STREET. Cnaaraa or Brosatv.--Yesterday, Mr. Ventura, who has been custody several days upon a charge of bigamy, was brought up fee a second examination. It will he recollected, that Mr. Ventura is charged with having, in the year 1819, intermarried with Mrs, Caroline Bartlett, a widow Lady, residing at Shenly Hill, in Hert fordshire, be having been previously married to Frances I lenrietta Colborne, who was then and is still living. On the first examina. Lion it was contended„on the part of Mr. Ventura, that when h e contracted the. marriage with Lady Colburne, her hu band, si t James Colburne, was then and is still alive, and that consequently that marriage being void, his marriage with Mrs. Hanka was p e a and valid. When Mr. Ventura was placed before the Magistrates, Butler said, that he was now fully prepared to prove that Colburne was a married woman, whose husband was livin at :he time she contracted the marriage with Mr. Ventura. t.;ir Colburne, the husband to that Lady, is in London at (Mr. Butler) expected hi.n at the office every moment. In the course of a little time, Sir James Camille enter e d, being questioned by Mr. Butler upon the subject, said, the in month of May, in the year 1791, he was mauled in !inlet icli. Ireland, to Frances Henrietta Green, the Lady alluded to. In ; 1„: t proceedings on that occasion she was given away by her brother, a Gentleman of great respectability in that country, residing at h;s se..t, called Anne Mount. Mr. Green is a Gentleman of about a year fortune, and is married to the Honourable Miss that county; and is also a Magistrate of that county. Mr. ADOLPHUS asked Sir James if Mr, Green was alive ?—Si r James Colburne said, that he believed he was; he had no reason to think otherwise. The MAGISTRATES said, that under all the circumstances as the case was now narrowed to a very small compass, namely, the pro per proof of the marriage of Miss Green with Sir James Colborne, it would be better and more satisfactory for all parties to have the case adjourned, until such proof could be adduced. 'ions then arranged, that the further hearing of the else 11101,4 be postponed until the 4th of January, to give time for the prodoc. Lion of Mr. Green from Ireland, or a proper certificate from a Clergyman of the Established Church, who performed the cere mony, or of its having been performed, according to the mit of that Church. Mr. Ventura was then remanded until the above named day. - ' INIF hIM• .~. 500,000 GUILDHALL. LAW or Ritsetne.—Mr. Mrs Ratcli f fe, who was examined at th:s office on Friday,on the charge of having rescued one Russell front the custody of a person named Dyball, Russell being accused of felony, was again brought up for examination on Saturday. Mr. Hussrrisees, on behalf of Mr. Ratcliffe, took an objection to the whole proceedings against his client, and urged that there was no legal ground fur detaining I • . To constitute the offence of rescue, it must be proved that the party rescued had comnti Led 4 criminal offence: that the rescuer kad knowledge that was Ia custody for a criminal offence; and lastly, that the person reseuril was in lawful custody. Mr. Dyball was no officer, and as to his merely saying that he was taking a man for felony, even if u; r. Rat cliffe beard it, he was not bound to believe it. Ile knew neither of the parties, and how then could he be said to know that the nun had committed a felony ? It the man had betn in custody of an of ficer, Mr. Ratcliffe would, in law, have been bound to know; but Mr. Dyball', telling him so, he was nut bound to notice. Nor was the man in lawful custody. It had been laid down by Mr. Baron Wood, that to authorize a private person to arrest a felon, it was necessary that he should see the felony committed, and arrest the man at the time. • Mr. llampbreys' objections, however, were overruled, and the case proceeded. The only additional evidence in attendance war Mr. Wiglry, Solicitor, Clement', Inn. who stated that Selby, a Sheriff's offiaer paid him a bill of exchange for 171.75. drawn be Keane upon Dyball, and accepted by the latter, and that the was now in the hands of his bankers. Yesterday, Mr. Ratcliffe was again brought up before Mr. Al derman CnOWDEn, and, to the surprise of everybody, Russell, the alleged felon, was in attendance, at liberty, in the room, 1./Fliall never once offering to give him into custody. Mr. Ke. rte, the drawer of the bill, now appeared, and expressly swore that he gave the bill to Russell, who promised to discount it, and give hum the proceeds. lie did not, said Mr. Keane, bring me the mon, y, Lew the bill, but he did not rob me of it. 'The bill was my property, and 1 indorsed it over to him. Being asked if Dyball knew at the time that he (Mr. Keane) had given the bill to Russell? he re plied he certainly did. The evidence of Mr. Keane negativing the tact that any feluny had been committed, there was no longer any charge against Mr. Ratcliffe, and that Gentleman was set at liberty. An officer, it appears, may act on information ; a private person can only apprehend a felon on having certain knowledge that he has committed a felony. Dyball only knew from Green that Russell had taken the bill; yet, Mr. Ratcliffe has been detained in custody four days, on a charge of knowingly rescuing a felon, whel this felon has not been committed. He expressed his determination to seek redress at law for the false imprisonment. MARRIED. The 14th inst. at Charlton, the Rev. Robert Lynatn, A.
