The construction of a great breakwater, with a noble harbour of refuge behind it, , d is one of those greatest national nation n o of a y char ity feel justly t l al l y men , ro . Asaofw hicpheotphlee we have in these works cast our money upon the waters more liberally than any other, though it by no means follows thence that we have better break waters or more harbours of refuge than other nations who have not spent a tit he of our outlay upon them. It is almost a characteristic of our great public works that there should be at least half a dozen failures to one success, and there has been no exception to this rule in breakwaters till now, the prodigal history of their construction being about the last theme which one would choose by which to illustrate Admiralty wisdom and eco nomy. In the minds of economists the very name of these works has not unjustly been considered a synonym for waste, and is always associated with millions of money thrown broadcast into the sea in out-of-the-way bays and inlets, which, even with out these obstacles to their entrance, were always dangerous. Where they ought never to have been attempted, as at St. Catharine's, Alderney, or even Dover, the most stupendous ,works were begun. At the first named place they were abandoned, many years ago, after an immense expenditure had been incurred. At the two latter they are being prose cuted with equal zeal and cost to this very day. Where, as at Holyhead, a small sea wall would have sufficed, a whole mountain has been thrown into the sea with such effect that the port is now difficult to enter, still more difficult to leave, and by no meass entirely safe to remain in. Holyhead will cost nearly £2,000,000 ; Dover, nearly £700,000; while Alderney is estimated to require .£1,300,090, of which nearly a million is hopelessly gone, and said to have been spent in vain. St. Catharine's bas a melancholy pre-eminence in this list, inas much as when several hundred thousand pounds were thrown, as it were, into the ocean, the works were stopped from their obvious hopelessness and inutility, and the only further outlay incurred was to break down what had been constructed, which made the wretched, rocky bay more dangerous even than it had been before.

Compared with the other undertakings that we have enumerated, and judged by the results which have been obtained from them, the money spent upon Portland may fairly be termed a profitable and a most worthy investment of our national wealth. The harbour which art has now rendered so complete is the most spacious of its kind in the kingdom. The anchorage is admirable, the water is deep, and the whole bay free from rock or shoal. It gives us a strong naval station, it is a refuge for distressed ships where it is most needed in the Channel ; it has been completed for less than double its first estimate (£500,000), and in not very much over the time it was promised. If any one should think these faint praises, or that in every case a given outlay should have a commensurate advantage in return, he can have very little experi ence of our public works. Unfortunately, in such undertakings the greater the pretension the smaller is often the result. No more was said for making the Harbour and Refuge at Portland than was said for all the other schemes of the same kind : the only difference is in the result, for here the country has fairly got every iota of advantage that was promised in return for its money. It contrasts with other breakwaters and harbours also that whereas our costly failures were decided on at once this was re commended almost year after year for more than half a century before anything was done. From 1791 to 1847 was spent in suggesting it and pressing it on the notice of Parliament, and it was not till 1849 that the first stone was laid. Now it is com plete; the gigantic circular fortress at its outward extremity, a fortress almost as stupendous and as difficult to erect as the break water itself; being all that is required to put the finish to the greatest and most successful of all our recent national works. Viewed from the shore beneath the steep bold head lands of Portland Bill, the long thin stony reef which stretches out in a tapering line into the sea till it would be almost lost to view but for the mass of black scaffolding which surmounts it, has no thing just now very imposing in its appearance. It does not appeal to the senses, and has little to point out to the superficial eye where thousands and thousands have laboured daily for the last 14 years. The fruits of all these years of toil lie deep beneath the sea, never to be seen again. If the waves were away what a monument of persevering ingenuity and labour would they not lay bare ! The divers employed see it all, and know that the thin reef above the water represents a wall of stones beneath, to which that of China is mere plasterers' work; a wall of stone nearly a mile and a half long, nearly 100 feet high, and 300 feet at the base, and all raised beneath the sea. To make this wall nearly six million tons of stone have been consumed, and nearly a million cubic feet of timber required for scaffolding. The mass of stone alone, if built in a solid column of 100 feet in diameter, would reach to the summit of Mont Blanc! One, in fact, is almost at a loss for standards of comparison before the immensity of this work, the materials for which were heaped at the rate of 2,500 tons a day, and sometimes at 3,000. It is only by looking at re sults achieved that we begin to understand the greatness and importance of what is effected by this submarine mountain. Portland harbour was always a safe shelter against south-west, north-west, or, northerly winds. It was exposed on the east and south, and a mere open roadstead to the strong gales which blew from the south-east. The break -water was designed by sheltering it here to shel ter it from all points, and this it has most effec tually done. The harbour, now almost enelosed by this stupendous sea wall, has at low water an extent of no less than 2,100 acres. Taking three fathoms' depth as the standard at low water, the acreage of our made harbours is as follows : Kingston, 140; Holyhead, 267; Dover (when made), 374 ; Portland, 1,500 ; Plymouth, 1,741. The average of deep shallow water is, however, greater at Portland than at Plymouth, there being 1,290 acres varying in depth from 5 to 11 fathoms. The breakwater itself is built in two distinct parts, in the shape of an obtuse angle. It stretches from what we may call the island of Portland for a length of about 3,500 feet towards the north-east, and then for a length of nearly 5,000 feet more turns due north into deep water across the bay. The break of the two parts occurs at the east end, and just before the angle of turning north. This opening is made in order that ships going out in a northerly wind may not have to beat up the whole length of the Breakwater, but pass at once through the open ing into smooth water, and take a fair wind down Channel. There are 11 fathoms of water through this gap, which is wide enough to allow two line of-battle ships to pass out side by side. The length of this eastern portion of the work has been en tirely completed, even to its round parapet and sea wall. The roadways along the summitare into two broad platforms. That o n the in ner side divided next the land is 40 feet broad and 12 feet . above the sea. The outer platform abovelB feet broadthisis carr i ed series of arched recesses, and iscaeaandon2Ba feet above the sea. These arches are o t f o w be hi u e s h ed th f e o y r Government stores—coals, shot, &c. will hold many thousand tons. There has also been erected a coal storehouse on the land end, capable of containing 6,000 tons of fuel, and in connection with this are a series of cranes and coal shoots worked by machinery, by means of which men-of war can be coaled at the rate of a ton a minute. In fact, the only limit to the rapidity with which fuel can be poured on board by these means is the rate at which the crew can fill it away in the bun , kers.

Sepoy cut ott the work, Oscar following second, and Ex press third, Wilful bringing up the rear. They proceeded in this order to the third fence, where Oscar fell, and threw his jockey, and Express took second place. Passing the Stand the second time ) EXpress was leading, Tom Random lying second ) and Sepoy third, evidently waiting. About three-quarters of a mile from home Sepoy again went to the front, held the lead to the end, and won by 200 yards ; ten lengths between the second and third. Mr. Melville, the rider of Oscar, was not, we are happy to say, badly hurt. The Wellington Open Handicap Steeplechase of 6 says each, with 40 added; Winners extra. About four miles over a fair hunting country. Mn Melville's Mary Ann, aged, 9st 91b (G. Stevens) 1 Mr. Coburn's Joe Maley, 5 yrs, 9st 91b (W.

Betting-6 to 2 agst Mary Ann, 4to 1 agst Mytton, and 6 to 1 each agst Comet, Pullaway, and Wee Nell. Wee Nell was first off, followed by Mytton, Joe Maley and Pathfinder, Pullaway bringing up the rear. On settling into their places, Joe Maley took a clear lead, having Pathfinder, Mary Ann, Wee Nell, Comet, and Lincoln for his nearest attendants. They proceeded with but little ' change the first time round the course, but at the fence just beyond the Stand, Mytton, who had taken third place, fell, and gave Walter White a severe shaking. The i emainder of the race is soon told, for Joe Maley held his lead to the second fence from home, where Mary Ann, who had been waiting on him, took the lead, and eventually won easily by two lengths; nothing else passed the pest. The Innkeepers' Stakes of 2 soya each, with 15 added ; winners extra ; about three miles, over a fair hunting country. Mr. Copson's Wilful (h b), 6 yrs, 13st ...(Mr. T.

The; two upper stories will be casemated mortar batteries, th e two tiers each "counting 22 of the heaviest guns that c an be made when the fort is co mplete, and certainly no t lessthan 150-pounders. On the summit are to be mounted 2 6100-pounders, a t embrasures and en barbette, making' 60 guns in all. A bird's eye view of this work wheo finished would, therefore, show it like a ring of granite over 100 ft. thick, and having a courtyard in its cen: re 100 ft. in diameter. On this inner court the officers' . quarters will look from the top, and the men's bar rack rooms at the bottom. The whole place, in fact, will be an independent fortress, detacned from the Breakwater; and having a little pier and dock of its own, where the vessels which bring it supplies will remain. It will need rather a large garrison, who are like.y to find the station a secure, though a dull one; in fact, it will be vety little better than being quartered in a lighthouse, wltich the fort is Lew to be. The fort, however, ponderous, as' it will be in its size, strength, and armament, is' after all, a mere sea outwork of the tremendous range of land defences erected or being erected at Portland. The tort is not likely to be finished for some time yet to come, but the Breakwater, as we have said, is perfectly complete, and may fairly be said to be the most useful structure of its kind in this country. PRISON DISCIPLILVE. THE GAOL OF NEWGA.TE. The following important and interesting report upon the subject of prison discipline and the treat ment of criminals by the Rev. Davis, the Ordinary of Newgate, was yesterday published. After allud ing to the advantages that have been obtained by the recent alterations that have been made in this prison, and the system ,of seperate confinement of prisoners before trial, Mr, Davis says : _ _ "But this is not the conclusion I come to with respect to habitual, hardened criminals. It is well known to all of us who see much of these men, that they leave prison with the intention of :chiming as soon as they can to their old habits and pe:nicious mode of living. We are now receiving at every monthly session old returned penal servitude men, who have been twice or thrice transported. The conduct of many of these men is not bad in prison. They discharge the duties assigned them with dill gence and assiduity, and frequently leave gaol with a good "prison" character, but they have not re formed, and do not mean to amend their ways. They have weighed the results of imprisonment, and are content to bear the inconvenience of re newed penal servitude if again detected. Attempts have been made in Ireland to apply a remedy to this state of things, and, so far as we can learn, considerable success has attended this worthy en deavour. Four of the visiting magistrates of the West Riding of Yorkshire, we'd acquainted with the internal management and general effect of the Makefield County House of Correction, part of which is a Government convict establishment, went over to Ireland last autumn to inspect and judge of the results of the discipline exercised in that king dom upon convicts. They published a statement upon the subject, in which they compared the two methods of treatment adopted towards convicts in England and Ireland, and If these statistics are y l a important thatort a n e t u s g n h d t t n o e w h a f v e e a t t u h r e e profound correct, o t f h o e u nthceorne discipl in e i de s ari h i ghly g it hr n el of all to whom these sub jects are a care and a duty. It appears that the Irish system make gradations in the different pri sons suited to the stages at which the convicts have arrived. The first is probationary, separate con finement and low diet; no work is allowed, and this is found a severe punishment The second stage gives employment, and marks' are assigned iu accordance with the conduct of the prisoner. In the third gradation further privileges are conceded, and the ticket of leave is made to depend on the fitness shown by the convict for liberty. The rule is that the sentence passed must be carried out, and will be shortened by nothing but the confidence created by the offender's own conduct. These gentlemen state that the result of such treatment is that few convicts are re-commit ted to prison—several of the Irish convict establish ments have been closed for want of prisoners, and since 1864 no Irish convict has been sent abroad as a transport. In the treatment of English prisoners, under the present system, there is no attention paid to the fitness of the convict to be entrusted with his liberty—many a one leaves the prison with a full de termination to return to his old ways, companions, and habits ; they become a much worse class of of fenders, and almost all the garotte robberies, and crimes connected with violence, proceed either from them or from others under their instructions. When twice or thrice subjected to penal servitude with the same result, it seems necessary to have a sentence of imprisonment for life, to be relieved only by the hope of improvement in the criminal himself. The Yorkshire magistrates I have referred to express an opinion that the Irish system of treating convicts would have the same successful issue if adopted in England, and my own impression is that it is well worth trying ; but at the same time, I believe it is a hopeless task to expect such advantageous results from English incorrigible convicts. These men are devoted to crime—the adventure, excitement, and plunder are attractive to them ; they associate with men and women to whom these great and intolerable crimes are no degradation, and, being nursed in hardship, imprisonment does not oppress them; they dread long sentences of penal servitude, but we sel dom see any moral improvement in them. Their conduct in prison is often exemplary, the wck they do is well performed, and they show that with mild, firm discipline, moderate occupation, and a little hope.of lessening their term of imprisonment, they can conduct themselves with propriety. But they have not abandoned their evil habits nor given up a life of crime. These is no opportunity to steal or plunder, and nothing to be gained by it; the surren der of it for a time is only a matter of prudence, it serves their purpose. As soon as ever they get their liberty they return to their old ways, and become much more pernicious and dangerous offenders. No system, except a determination to show them that they will never recover their liberty if again convicted, will keep them from crime. There are also various defects in the English treatment of convicts which the Irish system would obviate. The men are permitted to associate, without much discrimination as to character, on the public works. The result is that incorrigible convicts, well-con ducted men in prison, gain information from other thieves, and are told where and how to go and in troduce themselves, and many come to London from the different convict establishments whose previous life has been spent in other parts, and they ate con sequently m on ,nbo however, w k o n v o o w r , a n to ro the n ot London habitual police.thieves.

It is not with these men the difficulty lies, but with the hardened, incorrigible criminal, whose con duct is irreproachable in prison and execrable when at liberty." In reference to the crime of infanticide, the Rev. Mr. Davis makes the follow ing observations :—" I greatly fear that this crime is very much on the increase in the metropolis. Hardly sufficient protection seems to be given to young women who fall into immorality to enable them to support their infants. No person for half a-crown a week will undertake to keep a child, and the wages of a female servant are not s ufficient to provide for the child what nature and necessity re quire, and this leads to the result to which I have alluded."

It mounts eight 68-pounders, which command every wave that pours through the opening, and would be able to fire almost down into the decks of any vessel try ing to break through into the Harbour. It is cre nellated for musketry, too, on all sides, and would be a formidable defence against anything but an iron frigate, which would have to be dealt with by the heavy lines of earthwork batteries called the " east wEir," which are cut in the slopes of the _Portland bill overlooking the whole Breakwater. The northern portion of the Breakwater has none of its superstructure yet begun. It is a mere rugged and very unsightly reef, formed of immmense blocks of stone, tumbled about in confusion just as they were " tipped in." The ridge of scaffolding by which the whole was constructed is still in its place, taking daily its long traies of hundreds of tons of granite to the great North Fort we have already mentioned, at the extreme end of the work. When the fort is completed it is said nothing further is to be done, and the northern portion of the Breakwater is to be left in its present condition. We hope that this has not been officially decided on. The cost of building a sea wall along its whole extent, which would not only give beauty to the structure, but even strength, by binding like a backbone the top_ moat, and therefore the loosest stories, would only amount to £50,000. For the sake of this trifling outlay it is surely not wise to leave so important a work in such an unfinished condition. At the extreme end of this portion, which is more than 6,000 ft long, is the great North Fort. It is needless to say that this gigantic work is not undertaken with a view of protecting the Breakwater. A Breakwater once built is indestructible alike to friend or foe, and whatever ruins the celebrated New Zealander may stand on when he visits England, we may be sure they will not be those of Breakwaters. The great North Fort is the vanguard of the defences which are rising here to protect what is evidently intended to be made one of the most valuable of our great naval stations. The whole conception and manner of execution of this singular work make it one of the meat wonder ful defences ever constructed. It is built in a depth of from 60 to 70 feet of rather rough sea water, and from base to summit will be more than 100 ft. high, 400 ft. diameter at its base, and 200 ft at its summit, all of solid stone. The foundations for the great columns of granite which are to rest upon them are just finished, and these consist of 140,000 tons of atone poured in so regularly that they now form a great circular mound, under water, 46ft high and 260 ft wide at its summit. The wonderful web of scaffolding and mechanical appliances by which this has been accomplished are worth describing, inasmuch as they show the manner in which the whole Breakwater has been built. At the first glance nothing seems easier than to build a Breakwater, though in reality nothing is more tediously difficult or requires more care. The tramway, which has to do everything, is a railway of the most massive kind, but built entirely of wood, and running out into the sea like a pier. It is a scaffolding that must be built under water, strong enough not only to carry its ponderous loads of stone at an elevation of 90ft., but to resist the action of the sea as well. Every timber must be made waterproof, and many must be bolted to gether to be strong enough for one pile, and the tramway, Breakwater, and fortification must ad vance simultaneously yard for yard. When all this has to be done in 60ft. of rough, tumbling waves, a mile and a half from the shore, it will easily be seen that the work presents difficulties which do not at first appear. One night's rough weather often sweeps away the timber that has cost thou sands of pounds and months of labour to fix in the se k. The timbers used are always rendered weather. proof and wormproof—for a very destructive worm exists in the waters of Weymouth—by creasoting. This is done as follows :—On the works at Portland is erected a boiler of immense strength, 100 ft. long and 7ft. in diameter. This is filled with the largest timbers that can be procured, and the mouth closed airtight. A powerful steam pump then exhausts the air, not only from the boiler, but the very pores of the t imber itself. When the vacuum is almost com plete the creasote is let in from tanks at the bottom, and then forced in by hydraulic power till the pres sure is at nearly 3001 b. to the inch. In this the logs are suffered to remain for two or three days, till the creasote has been forced into their inmost fibres. When the logs have been thus prepared they are built into tremendous beams by bolting many together, till one huge spar is formed weighing eight or nine tons, and some two or three feet square. On the end of this which is to go into the ground is fixed a powerful screw of iron. The whole is then lowered into its place in the sea till it rests on the ground, when it is worked round by a capstan till the screw has bitten firmly some eight feet into the earth. Directly it is thus placed upright it is moored still more firmly by many wrought-iron tieroads, which are taken down by divers from the head of the pile, and secured at the bottom to a number of screws forced as deep as they can be into the clay. One pile, however, is never set alone; three or four are nearly always set at same time, so that the moment the moorings are complete the group is bound together by powerful cross timbers,which are increased and added to, and bound with iron ties, and under-trussed again, till the mass is strong enough, not only to carry its loads of tons of stone for " tipping in," but to resist the heavy onslaughts of the waves. In the construction of the great North Fort, at the end of the Breakwater, these piles have been lowered in two tremendous double circles, the inner one having a diameter of 112ft.,eorresponding to the dimensions of the courtyard of the circular fort, the outer one having a diameter of 224 ft. for build ing its outside walls. On the inner circle is a small steam " traveller" and crane, and from the inner to the outer circle comes an immense wrought-iron radial " traveller," which, worked by steam,travels rapidly, like a minute-band, round the immense circle, and gives to the whole work the appearance of being a wood-and-iron clock of yet the most colossal full work. proportions, laid horizontally, but Oat to this monstrous dial the feed ing with their 60 or 80 trains run rapidly along the tramway,each tons of stone in tow. As they a pproach the dial,the hungry steam " traveller" h urries round its great circumference to meet them, and takes two or three waggons into its round t i on s c t e o , asn overd th e n the i s c apacious away again, ro paanedieruosuisndasv a , till t y precise spot where more " tipping is required, when the waggons, as if by magic, rise on end, and pour their blocks into the waves.

In contrast with this busy dial above arc one or two quiet boats beneath, the occupants of which see m fishing, with such eager quietness do they watch the lines they bold in the water. These are the men looking after the divers beneath, for the divers are now down every tide, carefully levelling the masses tipped in, reporting where a little more is wanted here and there, and making everything ready for the massive courses of masonry which are to compose the fort. These divers remain down at their cold, dark work, sometimes in a depth of 70ft., for a whole tide, even when the sea is rough, and tumbling heavily, and they can see by the fluctuations in the gloomy twilight how the waves are rolling above their heads. Only one accident has occurred among these men during the progress of the works, but that, like all accidents to divers at such depths, was of course fatal. They report that the foundations are now ready for the great superstructure of the fort. This is to consist of a solid column of stone, first of three slabs of" York shire landing," very large and thick, then of blocks of Portland stone, and then of granite up to low water mark. On this the various departments of a great fort will be built. The walls at the base will have thickness of 41-ft. of granite and Bft. of i -~-=z~ ' e have ether Dcert it of ether , un nate- then
