FERGUSON CAMROUX, Manager, Enormous Globe, on which I dwell, And some few others, too, I've lately thought 'twould be as well To say a word to you. The reason for my doing thus. I'll candidly confess; I have a something to discuss Concerning M. and S. Moses and Son, I often say, A world-wide fame have got; Now tell me in a ready way, Whether they have or not ? And tell me also, I insist, Thou venerable ball, Where Moses' equals may exist, If they exist at all? I need not wait for your reply, I know what it would be— " The name of Moses, ranked so high, Is spread o'er land and sea. " No equals to these men I know, No flag is so unfurled ; I speak the truth in saying so, As sure as I'm a world. " Since first mankind adopted dress, There never was attire To equal that of M. and S., For whom you toxch the lyre. " Well may their dress be famed afar, And not a nose be cnrled , At articles which really are The choicest in the world." LIST OF PRICES.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other , opposing them married, questionably contented. Dinldence, or a ;enso of right determine the former, and miscalculate.! hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ooreprosing hurry ; but tho truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item Ji the compact ; it alone dignifies the affiance. Blighted hopes or ~ eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

We gave yesterday a brief account of the ceremony of the laying of the first stone of Portland Breakwater, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on Wednesday last. We now subjoin the following interesting details, abridged from the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald:— As soon as it was publicly announced that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had abandoned his intention of going by water to Portland, and that he had resolved on proceeding thither by the London and South-Western Railway, to Dorchester, and from thence to Weymouth, meetings of the town-council and the inhabitants of the ancient and loyal borough of Dorchester, were held, to devise the best means to be adopted for the reception of his Royal Highness. A loyal and dutiful address was prepared by the mayor and town council. Even before daylight the inhabitants were disturbed from their slumbers, by the arrival into the town of vehi cles of all descriptions, wending their way to Weymouth; and merry peals from the bells of St. Peter and Fording ton Churches were heard at an early hour, and conti nued at intervals throughout the day. The national colours floated from the church towers, and flags were suspended from the windows of several of the inns and private houses, which were tastefully decorated with flowers, laurels, &c. The Dorchester band paraded tie streets, playing lively and loyal airs. The arrangements at the railway station were excel lent, and the whole was very prettily decorated; crimson cloth was laid down on the platform from the royal car riage to the steps of the outer door of the station-house. A triumphal arch was thrown over the entrance-gate to the station, on the top of which was formed a crown, and other appropriate devices, beneath which was the word " Welcome;" and a splendid standard floated in the breeze opposite the station door. A row of waggons was judiciously placed by the com mittee in the station-yard for the accommodation of the public. At half-past six a number of special constables arrived for the purpose of keeping order, and at ten o'clock the Melbury troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C. took up their position in front of the station, and the Dorset Militia immediately followed. The Worshipful the Mayor and Town Council, with the e in an s n , ind et e a v t e r t a h l e o of a t h u e ° n c e t r o g y r e m ee e ve o f h t i h ?R t o o y w a n i Highness. At half-past ten it was announced that the train was in sight, and immediately on his Royal Highness leaving the royal carriage he was received with loud huzzas by the vast concourse of spectators, the band playing the National Anthem. The Mayor (C. Arden, Esq.) then read the address of the inhabitants of Dor chester, which his Royal Highness graciously received and appropriately acknowledged. He then entered the carriage amidst the renewed plaudits of the assembly, and the waving of handkerchiefs by the fair sex, and proceeded to Weymouth. escorted by the Melbury troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the command of the Earl of Ilchester. At Monkton Gate, about two miles from Dorchester, a handsome triumphal arch was erected, on which was a scroll with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert from Herringstone House." This arch was surmounted by a crown composed of choice flowers, and a number of flags were stretched across the road. At the bottom of Ridgeway-hill was another arch, and at Up way was one with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert—Long life to the Queen." At the entrance to Weymouth was another with a similar inscription, and by the statue of George 111. was a treble arch. The Prince was throughout the whole course most warmly greeted, and on his arrival at the King's Stairs, the place of embarkation, was received by Captain Frampton's troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the orders of Lieutenant Williams; a large concourse of persons giving three most hearty cheers. Oa his Royal Highness alighting from the carriage, the address of the corporation of Weymouth was read by F. C. Steggall, Esq., the town clerk, and the same was presented, when the Prince made the following re ply to the address:—" It was with much pleasure that I acceded to the memorial which was forwarded to me from you. An undertakinc , of such great national im portance as th e b u ildi ng of breakwater, which was to form a harbour for the protection of the royal and mer cantile navy, could not have failed to attract my atten tion, and I most willingly availed myself of the wish generally expressed, that I should, by laying the founda tion-stone, identify myself with this great work. Ishall not fail to communicate to the Queen the loyal wishes contained in yout address, for the health and happiness of her Majesty." His Royal Highness, accompanied by the equerries in waiting, Colonel Phipps and Colonel Seymour, then en tered the royal barge, and were promptly rowed on board the Victoria and Albert, which was in waiting immediately outside the harbour. On his Royal High ness arriving at Weymouth, royal salutes were fired from the ships in the bay, and on his progress through the fleet, yards were manned and royal salutes again fired. The mayor (A. Lithgow, Esq.), alderman, coun cillors, and revising assessor Pothecary, us well as seve ral of the magistrates of the county, then went on board the Vulcan, revenue steamer, commanded by Lieu tenant Pritchard, placed at their disposal by Admiral Sir T. Capel, on the breaking down of the steam• packet they had hired, and proceeded to the island, where the ' arrangements by Mr. Coode were most complete, and carried out most efficiently, notwithstanding the thou sands congregated. The guard of honour consisted of Captain Erskine, 2 lieutenants, 4 serjeants, 2 drummers, and 80 rank and file, together with the band of the Royal Marines, from Gosport. The saluting battery was composed of 80 men of the Marine Artillery. The line of the projeoted breakwater was marked out by boats with colours hoisted. Six hundred Portlanders were drawn up in order of procession, with favours in their hats. His Royal Highness on arriving at the platform, the band playing the National Anthem, was received by Admiral Capel and the engineering staff of the break water, by whom the works were explained. Tho first business here was the presentation of the address from the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland. Captain Manning, her Majesty's Lieutenant, presented the loyal and dutiful address (containing 500 signatures) from the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland. The Captain received his Royal Highness on landing, and headed the deputation, consisting of the civic authorities of the Royal Manor. On the conclusion of this address, Ilia ROYAL HIGHNESS said—l thank you sincerely for the address which you have just presented to me. The work of which I am about to lay the foundation-stone, whilst it is of great national importance as forming a secure harbour of refuge for ships of the royal navy, and for merchant vessels freighted with the commerce of the whole world, will, I trust, bo also of especial service to this neighbourhood by increasing its trade, and spread ing employment among its labouring population. Her Majesty the Queen in passing along this coast has al ways viewed the Isle of Portland and the town of Wey mouth with particular interest, from the associations connected with it. The ceremony of laying the foundation -stone was then proceed( d with, the Rev. D. Hogarth, re ctor the of Port land, - commencing with a short prayer; aud Lou Prayer and Benediction followed. The Prince next deposited a sovereign, half-sovereign fasirlvtiieirn,d g a in n in gold, five sh illin g p iece, half-crown, shilling, sixpence, .pi pieces salif n afopuerpnenr,athbrealefp.epieicnen,yrdfa t r w t h o i p n egn, and n3' copper, in a bottle presented him by Mr. Bendel. The bottle was nex t sto pp ered, de p osited in the s tone, the cavity filled with cement, and a plate fastened over containing the following inscription:— WEEK DAY, WEEK DAYS. Pur fleet Green.: hithe. TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news. paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put Int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berouv,h, takes this oppor. tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerate'', in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Kr. (I.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund tuce, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume 'ti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering ally lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, /3erough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most detioate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t 3 the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' hees, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre venl zonvulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See oansphlet of testimonials.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY 26.—At Gloucester market on the 23d wheat was fully Is per quarter cheaper. At Worcester, same day, lower prices were not generally submitted to. Barley unaltered. Oats maintained their value, and on beans and peas the turn was in favour of the seller. This week the wet weather has given firmness to the trade, and some wheat has changed hands at rates which could not previously be obtained. Heavy grinding barley inquired for, and but little offering. Our stocks of oats being reduced very low, they are taken for consumption at quite as high rates. Beans generally held for an advance, with which buyers will not comply. No transac tions reported in peas. At this day's market there was a large supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull at the currency of this day se'nnight. We had a fair demand for heavy grinding barley. Oats rather dearer. Beans unaltered. Peas inquired for, and few offering. BRISTOL, JULY 26.—The weather for the last few days has been broken, and with occasional heavy rains. Should these continue, of which there is every present appearance, it might prove very prejudicial to wheat and potatoes, though benefi cial to barley, oats, and other spring crops generally. In the interval of this day week sales of wheat have been at a depres sion of Is to 2s per quarter, but which is to-day fully re gained, and we note both English and foreign, with moderate 1 supplies, very firm at the prices of this day se'nnight. At this day's market English new wheat fetched 40s to 48s per imperial quarter ; foreign wheat white, 50s to 53s per 4801hs; ditto, red,fine qualities, 46s to 48s ; ditto, ordinary, 4is to 445; ditto, hard, 87s to 40s. Flour is in better sale than for some weeks past, and prices well supported. English seconds, 333 to 35s per sack; American, sweet, 24s to 26s per barrel. In barley, oats, beans, and peas we have but little passing. Barley, English malting, 27s to 30s per imperial quarter; ditto, ,and foreign grinding, 21s to 25s per 400 lb ; oats, Devon and Welch 18s to 19* per imperial quarter ; Irish, white, 2.1 s to 21s per 3201 b; ditto, black, 17s 6d to 18s 6d per imperial quarter ; beans, English, 30s to 363 per imperial quarter ; foreign, 263 6d to 30s per 4801 b. The arrivals for the week have been—wheat, foreign, 4,094 quarters, coastwise, 66 quarters; oats, 65 quarters, and 4,005 barrels ; barley, 254 quarters ; flour, 531 sacks, 120 barrels. Th e averages are—wheat 37s 9d; oats, 19s 3d ; barley, 213 6d ; beans, 375. Louansonouc tr, JULY 26.—T0-day there was a better supply of wheat from the farmers, and prices ruled about the same as last week ; in spring corn there was no alteration. Boszcorr, JULY 25.—Wheat, red 49s to 5280 d, white 545; oats 14s to 22s ; beans, 30s to 34s per quarter.

ROTHERHAM, JULY 23.—Beef 5s Gd to 63 6d per stone ; mutton, 4id to 5d per lb. DEaBY, JULY 24.—We had a good fair supply of fat beasts to-day. Those from the North were but comparatively few ; the number of animals from Rotherham, and other parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Leicestershire were of a fair pro portion, but the demand was exceedingly fiat, and very high prices were asked, in some instances more than 6d per lb ; the number left on hand was very considerable, entirely owing to the high price which was asked for them. The supply of shep and lambs was tolerably good, with little or no alteration in the price. Fat and store calves were plentiful. There were several lots of bacon and porket pigs shown in the market which appeared to be in good request for the season. Beef, 5d to 51d ; mutton, 4! l d to 5d ; lambs, 17s to 21s ; veal, 4d to 5d per lb ; pigs, 8s 6(1 per score. Rough fat, 3s 6d per stone of 141bs. Hides, 114 d per lb.; calf skins, 2d to 3%d per lb. GLASGOW, JULY 25. —The foreign supplies of wheat and flour for the past week have been a little more liberal ; from elsewhere the arrivals were light. About 695 quarters of wheat, 565 quartets of barley, 2,143 quartara of oats, 1,020 [PRICE SD• f ‘ t ` h O e On e t i he go 2 0 5 f t h h d e a r y 3 o f f o J s t u l, Gracious a tD, io s 1 Majesty E449, in the Queeny earo bVic toria, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, K.G., &c., de posited this stone, to record the commencement of the Portland Breakwater. James Meadows Rendel, engi neer-in-chief. John Coode, resident eng neer." The Prince, in 'depositing the bottle, remarked the stone was a fine specimen of Portland stone; on which Mr. Rendel informed his Royal Highness that it was se lected on the top of the island, from blocks refus( d by the merchants. The Prince then made a few remarks, and the stone, which. was suspended, was ordered by the Prince to be dropped, and it fell to its resting place with a tremendous splash, amidst the roar of artillery, and three cheers fur the Queen. The band immediately struck up Rule Britannia, and some loads of loose stone were deposited around the foundation-stone. Prince Albert was then immediately conducted to the trammed, and, with his attendants, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, the engineers' staff, Colonel Jebb, the Corporation of Weymouth, and some others who assisted at the ceremony, conveyed up the inclines to the prison, the Prince stopping to inspect the drums by the aid of which the ascent had been made. Between the inclines the carriages were drawn by parties of the contractor's labourers. The Royal party then minutely inspected the prison 70 a 7ti n tsdh matters ht te i e t rr s se gf a ui c mi c l oienmngtpuadnno(iiimne doing accompaniments, his tnyo tibeee ß r. pe q a u ar e pt n yt a t , l i y na m m wo a nh k gi i ts n t ytg whom f a h r oo t rm i d c i u nw l g a e r hr were m n euovirre,direysF. inform a tion.respectingEitz ciar e t n h c e e Colonel w al as f d lg r a ll J i e n e b s u s b pafrnteod othe n h c o h u e s s e t e o r, f the co governor onel Jebb, and guard an d coafpht Captain honour of t he Whitty, the E r p e aa c r A r e tlo i t v o e k the of f u party,and ncheon, t the the v i P aya r Pr i nce , b e e n t together e s tehnetr fromwi with L a o s n e d l sel ect by Gunter. At the repast one of the puddings so much liked by George 111., and also one of the Queen's puddings, were presented to his Royal Highness, together with a letter, giving a history of the puddings, from Mrs. Winter, the original maker of them for royalty. From the refreshment table the Prince inspected the works of the chapel, where another address was pre sented to him by the Rev. J. Kingsmill, chaplain to the Pentonville prison, the Rev. J. H. Moran, chaplain of this prison, being in a delicate state of health. The stone of the chapel was laid at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, by Colonel Jebb, in the pre sence of all the convicts, whom he addressed, and a prayer was read by the Rev. James Kingsmill. All parties returned to the breakwater platform, his Royal Highnes immediately embarking in the Royal yacht and proceeding to Weymouth, and by the same route as in the morning, back to Osborne - House. His Royal Highness returned from Weymouth to the Dorchester station about a quarter before four, escorted by the Dorchester troop of . Queen's Own D r y.C. He re: !mined at the station fur halt an hour, waiting thearrival of the train which was then due, during which time the band played appropriate a ir s , and the assembled multi tude rent the air with frequent acclamations, which the Prince very graciously acknowledged. The weather throughout was very unpropitious, a great deal of rain having fallen at various times; yet, notwith standing this, the whole proceedings passed off with great eclat. The day wound up with a ball at Luce's hotel, and a grand display of fireworks. There were in the bay, in addition to the vessels of her Majesty's navy, the Fanny, Admiralty yacht; the Vic toria, Defence, and Rob Roy, revenue•cruisers; which, with numerous coast-guard boats, were under the com mand of Captain Kerr the inspecting commander of th e coast-guard of the district. Amongst the numerous yachts we observed the Capricorn,— Talbot, Esq., M.P.; Unicorn, Perkins, Esq.; Mischief, R. S. Wardell, Esq., belonging to the RY.S.; the Benita, Colonel Freestun, M.P., of the R.V.Y.C.; the Serpent, Lord C. Paget; the Lady of the Lake, W. Rolph, Esq, of the R.T.Y.C. ; al s o the Contest, ochrane Esq ; the Dream, and Clutha. THE BREAKWATER. The project of establishing a breakwater at Portland to form a large harbour capable of accommodating the whole navy of the kingdom, in nearly a central point of the English Channel, was first entertained as long since as 1794, by Mr. John Harvey, who was appointed me chanic to his Majesty George 111., and subsequently postmaster of Weymouth. This gentleman, from his first conception of the plan, 'was unceasing in his ex ertions to cause it to be adopted, and took every oppor tunity of laying his plans before the various Governments and influential parties of the kingdom, and failed not to point out the local advantages of there being on the spot a sufficiency of stone for the purpose (the waste cap stone), without the labour of quarrying it. His idea of the advantages to be derived from his proposal, from his first suggestion to the time of his death, November 6, 1829, became steadily strengthened, and he watched with jealous eye the progress made with the stupendous structure of the same kind in course of construction on the opposite coast of France (at Cherbourg), and he thought a similar work should be carried out at Port land, to counteract any national effect to which that on the opposite coast might have a tendency. The loss of Admiral Christian's fleet in 1795 induced him still more closely to consider the subject, amend his plans, and publish his views in a pamphlet. Mr. Harvey died without having been able to induce the Government to take up the matter, although no in dividual could have been more energetic in his exertions for a national undertaking. He, however, left a sun (Mr. John Hervey, the present postmaster of Wey mouth), to whom he confided the charge of the break water project, and by whom the subject has been ener getically advocated. Mr. John Harvey, jun. (we will now call him Mr. Harvey), in 1834 succeeded in getting the little book written by his father, entitled, " Remarks, &c , on the subject of a Breakwater for Portland Roads," with additions by himself, referred to the con sideration of the Navy Board, and in the July of that year a memorial was presented to the King upon the subject, signed by 687 inhabitants and merchants of Portland. The attention of the ruling powers was, by various means, at last roused to the necessity of the establish ment of capacious harbours of refuge for our increasing naval and mercantile marine, and more especially so in consequence of recommendations in a report to the House of Commons, of a Select Committee, appointed to inquire into the shipwreck of British vessels, and the preservation of the lives and property of ship wrecked persons, that in the early part of the year 1844, ten naval commissioners, Admiral Sir Byam Martin, G.C.8., acting as chairman, were appointed to make inquiries as to what were the most eligible sites in the Channel for such purposes. The points for their consideration were, facility of access, fitness for an ex tensive station of the largest armed vessels, with facili ties for ensuring its defence, in the event of an attack by an enemy. These various advantages are nowhere better combined than at Portland. The Commissioners, in their report, state— " A squadron stationed at Portland will have under its protection, jointly with Dartmouth, all the interven ing coast; and these places with Plymouth will complete the chain of communication and co-operation between Dover and Falmouth, a distance of 300 miles. "There is everything at Portland to render the con struction of a breakwater easy, cheap, and expeditious; and the holding ground in the roads is particularly good. It has numerous springs, and plenty of the best water may be led in auy direction for the supply of ships. The roadstead also possesses the advantage of an inner harbour at Weymouth." The report recommends that a breakwater — "Be constructed in Portland Bay, to extend a mile and a quarter in a north-east direction, from near the north part of the island, in about seven fathoms water, having an opening of 150 feet at a quarter of a mile from the shore, sheltering an area of 1,200 acres. The island of Portland possesses great natural ad vantages for defence, and for the Formation of a naval and military depot during war, to any extent that may be required." Subsequently the erection of a harbour at Portland was determined upon, the necessary surveys were made by well qualified engineers, and on the 4th of December, 1846, public notice of the same was given, and also that the plans decided on by her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests were deposited with Mr. C. Hinde, Reforne, Portland. A Bill was introduced into Parlia ment, entitled the " Portland Harbour of Refuge and Breakwater Bill," and which, having passed successfully through its various stages, received the Royal assent on the 11th of May, 1847, and preparations were immedi ately made to carry out its provisions. The national advantages of the projected breakwater are conceived to be, that it will afford ample protection, be accessible at all times, and in all weathers, to vessels of any size, and in immense numbers, as there will be made a secure harbour, with deep water for a space of four square miles in extent. A fleet of sixty sail of the line will be able to lie secure in the roughest weather, the anchorage for the most part consisting of a strong blue clay, and they might get out to sea at the shortest notice. The central situation of the harbour —midway between Portsmouth and Plymouth—would, as Mr. r Harvey justly remarks, " form a most effective counte - action to the naval armaments of Cherbourg," From which port it is situate only 21 leagues, from mid-channel, in fine clear weatherioue,v,:eisdseerinycanoncotmhe mand a sight of Cape La LI French side, and of Portland°4auned the Isle of Wight on the English. A sta tioned would have an un controlled sweep of the er e h En e glish . Chunnel. If a squadr on in war time shou ld p ut to sea from Cherbourg, t o Portland (by of the circums tance could be conve y ed (by look-out ve ssels stationed at certain distan ces across the channe l), in an hour and a half, or even i n a less period, as, with the advantages we now possess of ste am , their intention to weigh could be known at Portland be fore they.could get to sea. There is no other good roadstead between Plymouth and Spithead, a distance o f 140 miles, in which large ships could obtain s h e l ter; hence it would be the means of preventing many shipwrecks, very numerous cases being r ecor d e d of losses of men-of-war j and Indiamen, which would not have occurred had there been a good and accessible harbour at Portland. Amongst these may be named the Halsewell, on the 6th of January, 1786, when 3SO lives were lost. The Abergavenny in February, 1805, when near 200 lives were lost. The losses in Admiral Christian's fleet, with a large convoy, in 1795, when near 1,500 lives were sacrificed. Of the loss of smaller vessels, which would have been obviated had the breakwater existed, numerous 1 instances might be given. The south-westerly winds blow full eight months out of twelve, and the consequent delay has hitherto averaged four months on every southern voyage from the Themes; the sa v i ng o f t hi s per i od will annually produce millions. Portland possesses facilities not elsewhere offered for the erection of a massive stone breakwater, there being on the isl an d, i mmediately contiguous to the point from which the breakwater will start, much more stone than will be wanted, alr ea d y quarried and ready for the work, requiring only materials for its removal. This is the waste or " cap " stone, a layer of coarse stone (eminently adopted for the purpose, being too hard to be worked up for building purposes) which lies above the beds of the finer stone. There will, in fact, be two breakwaters, one joined to the north-east corner of the island, about half a „mile from Portland Castle, and of which the first stone was this day laid, will be 1,500 feet in length, taking a _due direction from west to east. There will be from the end of this a clear opening of 400 feet, and from thence there will be another lino cf breakwater 6,000 feet in length, hmring from south-west to north-east. The eastern end of the zmail, at.d both ends of the large breakwater, will be terminated by massive circular heads of finished masonry. The breadth of the breakwater at the top, 10 feet above high water mark, will be 23 feet 6 inches. The average height (cirri& d according to the depth of water) will be about 260 feet. The average depth from high water mark will be ~bout 7 fathoms, or 42 feet. Below water mark the stones, varying in siza from rubble to blocks of 10 or 20 tons weight, will be merely loosely deposited, and left to fit together as best they may, but above this they will be fitted together. It is not yet decided whether this part shall be of finished masonry with an esplanade or not. For the work under the water the stone most early procurable will be used, and thus an immense quantity of the hitherto useless capstone will be most advantageously disposed of, but for the finished work the stone will be quarried in the neighbourhood of the prison. At the starting point of the breakwater a space of considerable extent has already been reclaimed from the eea, principally by stone, removed for the purpose of constructin g the railway, and here the lines of rail aro very numerous, and some excellent turn-tables for the trucks are arranged. The materials will from this point be carried out in the trucks (which deposit their load by merely moving a lever at the bottom), running on a massive framework, formed of timbers of considerable size. This framework will be supported by piles fixed into the ground, on the plan of Alexander Mitchell, Esq., member of the Institute of Civil Engineers, viz.: —the piles have at their lower extremity, a broad plate or disc of metal of a spiral form, on the principle of the screw, the latter enters the ground with facility, thrusting aside any obstacles in its descent, without ma terially disturbing the texture of the strata passed through, whilst the disc or broad spiral flange, when it has entered a clay or sandy bottom, resist either up ward or downward pressure. On this framework, there are, we understand, to be six lines of rails. The stones for the outer breakwater will be deposited in the same manner as those for the Plymouth break water were, by layers with rails down on them. The time which will be occupied in the construction of the breakwater is variously estimated at from five to seven years. The principal officers engaged are :—Engineer-in-chief, James Meadow Rendel, Esq., F.R.S.; resident engineer, John Coode, Esq.; assistant engineer, Mr. Poppleton; contractors, Mtssrs. J. and C. Rigby. The railway and inclined plane is from the nrison to the site of the breakwater. It was commenced on the 11th of August, 1847, and is a work of considerable mag nitude, there being four lines of rails, and the upper part of the railway is for some distance cut through the solid stone, which in the lower parts was used to form an em bankment. It consists of three inclined planes, with level portions between each. 'The railway is continued to the north eastern part of the island to Castletown, the pre sont landing-place, and principal place of shipping stone. The length of this railway, from the Grove to the com mencement of' the breakwater, is 6,300 feet; the top and bottom incline fall one foot in ten, the middle one is rather less steep than this. The trucks when loaded with stone by the convicts, are brought to the top of the first incline by horse labour; hero they are weighed, for the purpose of ascertain ing the exact quantity of stone used in the con struction of the breakwater. The machines for this purpose are self-registering, and in addition to showing the weight on the face of the dial, will exhibit the num ber of waggons that have passed over it during the day. The machines, the first of the kind brought into opera tion, are constructed by Messrs. Napier, of Lambeth. The loaded trucks are let down the inclines by the aid of wire ropes, attached to drums 12 feet in diameter, and weighing upwards of 11 tons each, the loaded trucks in their descent drawing up empty trucks on a parallel line of railway ; the speed is regulated by very powerful screw breaks, each screw worked by one man, possess ing a power of seven tons. The whole length of rope in use for the three inclines, each with two double lines of rails, is about four miles. _ A considerable number of convicts will be employed in the construction of the breakwater. For their accom modation a large and commodious model prison is in course of erection, on a barren, though most healthy part of the island, called the Grove. The work was commenced in January, 1848. Mr. Crickrnay, the intelligent clerk of the works, was the first person on the grout:d, and he arrived to make his preparations in December, 1847. Such has been the ex pedition (during some part of last summer as many as 1,300 men were employed on the prison, and the railway from tit( nee to the breakwater), that, in addition to the residences before named and the boundary wall, one half the intended number of cells is complete, forming a very extensive building This is divided into fuur cor ridors, and is capable of accommodating 700 convicts. Another wing, precisely similar, is to be erected; but it is th,ught it will not be commenced until next year, as by some alterati ons i n th e p resen t w i ng an d i n a building now used us workshops, accommodation will be secured fur 200 more convicts. The buildings of the %ihnle establishment are princi pally constructed of wood and iron, that they may be removed elsewhere, if required, on the completion of th e breakwater. The cells (for one man) are 7 feet long by 4 feet wide, and 7 feet high, ranged on four floors, and open into spacious balls, so arranged as to be under in spection from a central corridor, where the officers aro stationed. The prison is occupied by 510 convicts, the greater part of whom (that is, all that are able) are kept fully employed—some in quarrying—others squaring and pre paring stone—others making new roads and laying down rails for the conveyance of the stone to the inclined plane by which it will be sent to the site of the breakwater. It is anticipated that, in the course of a few days, a suffi cient number of convicts will be seat down to occupy every cell prepared for them. The water for the supply of the prison is pumped up near Folly pier—upwards of a mile distant, 350 feet below the level of the ptison, and conveyed thence by pipes in sufficient quantity to give an ample supply for every purpose of the prison. Salt water for the baths is brought from a still lower depth. There are now ISO masons and other free labourers employed, and others are being taken on to expedite the operations, so that all the work now in hand will be finished before the close of the year. The works now to be erected in connexion with the convict establishment are a chapel, the foundation-stone of which was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert; it will be quite plain, of a uniform shape, 112 feet long from east to west, and 90 feet from north to south, ca pable of accommodating 1,000 persons; barracks for 100 men, and cottages for 32 wardens and their families. About 30 soldiers now stationed here occupy the in firmary, and are weekly relieved from the Weymouth barracks. At the head of the prisoa establishment ara:Surveyor - General of Prisons Lieut. Colonel Jebb, C. 8., li.E.; Governor, Captain Whitty. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO TIIE PRlSON.—lmme diately after the ceremony his Royal Highness proceeded to view the extensive works on the heights, when he pre sented a Bible and prayer-book to the establishment, with this inscription:— "Presented to the chapel of the convicts at Portland, as a token of interest, and in hope of their amendment. " Portland, July 25, 1849." " ALBERT." They would have been presented to the chaplain, the Rev. J. 11. Moran, but for the illness of the reverend gentleman. The officers of the establishment, Captain Whitby, Governor; the Rev. J. H. Moran, Chaplain; Dr. Hen derson, &c., had the honour of being presented by Colo nel Jebb to his Royal Highness. During his visit Prince Albert astonished an old convict by telling him that the Queen had sent him a pardon. It had been previously arranged that the old man, whose conduct had been such that he had been recommended for a pardon, should be almost alone.

Whenever the wind is favourable make use of sail s t o save fuel; and in the off the boats re the obliged to t a k e t h e water, then takew heels a a nd put on paddles, and propel the boats by steam or wind, as most convenient. Whets there is no obstruction on the ice I calculate the boats will travel at the rate of thirty or forty miles per hour, or 960 miles per day. When snow is likely to be an obstruction on the ice, then fix circular brushes at the front of the boats, to brush away the snow. It is the inventor's opinion that upon this principle they might travel 2,000 or 3,000 miles per week further upon ice than steam-boats in water. Also, there is another advantage; you can steer to any quarter its own without turntables or switches, as the ice fo r ms i railway.
