The works on she South Jetty of the Dock at .Plymouth,. lately ordered to be suspended, ale about 'to be resumed in a manner tnat will place the operations of the diving-bell in A new and most inte resting light. The boson is not to be completed, but filled up. The entrance or opening to it trom the sea, I alter !saving the mud excavated by dredges, is to re ceive four rows of piles driven three feet apart, whose tops will be cut off, by men in the diving-bell, at, thirty feet below low water marl. Sleepers will then ' be placed on the pile heads, with a platform of six inch plank, when the masonry will co mence, with the aid of the diving hell, until it reaches low water mark, being a height thus extraordinarily raised, amid difficulties better to be conceived :flan described, of thirty teet. The height of the Harbour Wall, when completed, will be about fifty teet. It is probable that these curious operations, it successful, will give birth to a new era in the construction of build ngs under water, by rendering the deep subservient as it were to msn, which has hitherto resisted his iiiiluence.

N•ine of the favourable nopes conceived of it have been realialcl. It WAS even duller than our Michaelmas fair. At no other time has there been such an abundance of mer chandizes here; neither, at any other time, has the number of buyers been so small. Goods ea Enelish manufacture were really in masers; the int:Pi:rine:, the muslins and the wocillen cloths of Great Britain were offered at all prices. Here, as at Frankfort, the indiennes were sold at three gm the ell. The exces sive dearness of provisions has rendered the sale of I mei chandizes insignificant. Numerous failures having also weakened credit, orders of all sorts have been astonishingly lessened ; and sales have been necessa rily forced at any price. At the last blichaelmas fair the number of visitors was seven thousand less than usual; it was still less at this. This stagnati-n chews the necessity for rendering tolls and duties less burthensome.—Paris Paper.
