The Commission cahnot close their report without Es). pressing in the strongest terms their unanimous fpni6ta and entire conviction that measures are indispensably necessary to give to the south-eastern frontier of the kingdom means and facilities, which it does not now possess, for powerful naval protection. Without any, except tidal harbours along the whole coast between Portsmouth and the Thames, and none accessible to large steamers, there is now, when steam points to such great changes in maritime affairs, an imperative necessity for supplying, by artificial means, the want of har,N)uns throughout the narrow part of the Channel. The distance chart which accompanies this report shows the positions where, if our recommendations are carried out, harbours of refuge or well-protected road• steads will afford shelter to our commerce. By these means, and with the advantages of steam by sea, and of railroads and telegraphic communication by land, the naval and military force of the country may be thrown in great strength upon any point of the coast in a few hours.

Price 3d. ; Stamped 4d. by which it appears that the breakwater he proposes to construct is to be five miles in length, at an estimated cost of 3,280,0001. This plan is to convert the Small Downs into a close harbour by constructing a solid work along the spine of the Brake, to be brought up two feet above high watermark. There is, however, a modified suggestion of Sir John Rennie, which, if adopted, would reduce the cost to about 1,300,000/. may be made to the formation of a breakwater harbour on the west side of I3eachy llead, considering the pre valence of the westerly wind ; but the local disad vantages on the east side of the head induce it to give a decided preference to the west side, and the proximity of Newhaven has materially influenced their decision. .NEWHAVEN. Newhaven is a convenient tidal harbour, and may be ' considerably improved inwardly, as well as by carrying out a breakwater from " Barrow Head," into a depth of three fathoms at low water spring tides, by advancing the piers seaward, giving a wider entrance, and dredging the channel enclosed between them ; but as it cannot b e made accessible at all times of tide, it does not come within the scope of our instructions to recommend any present outlay of the public money for this purpose. It will be the interest of the Commissioners of the Upper and Lower Ouse to apply their revenues to the utmost advantage, so as to give increased facilities of access to the harbour, should a breakwater be con structed in its vicinity. PORTLAND AND WEYMOUTH. The several recommendations we have thought it our diJy to lay before your Lordships must, if adopted, oc casion a large outlay of the public money, but when life, proprty, and national security are the interests at stake, we do not believe that pecuniary considerations will be allowed to impede the accomplishment of objects of such vast importance.

ST. JOHN. London : John Mortimer, Adelaide-street, Trafalgar-square ; and to be had of all Booksellers. It has lately been shown by an Admiralty surveyor, Captain Bullock, that the Brake Sand ha. gone about 700 yards bodily in shore. The Trinity-house, ran obtaining the survey from the Admiralty, shifted the south and middle Brake-buoys, and issued a printed notice to all mariners of this re markable change. The Commission of 1840, which included the late Captain Drew, one of the most able men of the Trinity house, say, in reference to the " expediency of enclosing the Small Downs," that "the magnitude and extent of such a work, which would require a breakwater and pier of upwards of five miles in length, the small depth of water at the northern entrance and the uncertain nature of the foundation, induce us to abandon the idea of a harbour of refuge at that place." According to the spirit of y o ur L or d s hip s ' instructions, and strictly in conformity with those issued by the Admiralty to the former Commission, we have in pre ference directed our attention to the narrow part of the Channel, where the navigation is dangerous to ships contending with adverse winds, and where in war the risk of capture would be greatest ; it is there that we are to provide harbours of refuge for merchant ships, and suitable ports to enable our vessels of war to main tain their stations in order to give protection to the passing trade. I dissent from this report, because I consider the mass of evidence to be in favour of Dungeness, and because I cannot recommend a large close harbourat Dover, where the pilots consider the holding-ground generally indiffe rent, and the engineers say it will silt up.

Our next and last visit westward was to Portland, which, from its situation with reference to the Channel Islands. and as the boundary of the narrow part of the Channel in this direction, came naturally within the range of our investigation. A squadron station at Portland will have under its protection, jointly with Dartmouth, all the intervening coast, and these places, with Plymouth, will complete the chain of communication and co-oporation 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 road is particularly good. A large part of the island facing the bay is Crown pro perty, and contains abundance of stone, It has nume rous springs, and plenty of the best water may be had in any direction for the supply of ships. The roadstead also possesses the advantage of an inner harbour at Weymouth. HARWICH HARBOUR. By FREDERICK HOL3iEE, 11f.A.

ALE rTER to some FRIENDS in the PARISH of TOTTENHAM, on RUBRICAL OBSERVANCES and TRACTARIAN PRINCIPLES. A ii:irbour in the Downs can only be for ships that have actually passed all the risks of the narrow part of the Channel, or for ships waiting to commence their voyage. For these reasons, and considering the Downs in its present state an excellent roadstead, with Ramsgate Harbour immediately adjoining, capable of containing at one time upwards of 400 sail, and which may be made to receive 200 sail more, we do not feel ourselves warranted in proposing any outlay of the public money in the Downs. We have now to submit to your Lorpships a few observations respecting Harwich Harbour, which we consider one of very great importance to the trade of the country. This harbour, formed by the junction of the rivers Stour and Orwell, is one of the finest, and may be ren dered one of the most useful havens in the kingdom. It has a sufficient depth of water and good holding ground over an extent capable of containing many hundred ships. But, with the exception of a channel of 18 feet in depth, too narrow for general purposes, the entrance to this port is not deep enough to admit ships of more than 12 feet draught of water at low spring tides; it is there fore at present a tidal harbour as regards ships of a larger class. It is remarkably well situated for the convenience of a north sea squadron, and for the protection of the mouth of the Thames. It is the only safe harbour along this coast, and is in the direct line of traffic between the Thames and the northern ports of the kingdom, as well as of the trade from the north of Europe. There is a dock-yard, with building slips belonging to the Crown, and the property under the Ordnance Depart ment is extensive. It appears in evidence that by the falling away of Beacon Cliff, on the west side of the entrance, and the lengthening out of Landguard Point, on the east side, the harbour has sustained great damage within the last 25 years. The bottom at the entrance to the harbour, and the coast on each side, are composed of blue or London clay, in which are layers of " cement stone," in great demand both in England and on the continent. Hundreds of hands are constantly engaged in collecting it, and the evidence shows that by excavating the cement atone in front of the Ordnance premises, near the foot of Beacon Cliff, the water has spread so as to be diverted from its natural course, and the tide rendered so comparatively feeble, that it no longer acts with its accustomed force on Landguard Point, which has consequently grown out 500 yards during the past forty years, as shown by the plan. It has already nearly filled up the deep water channel, and by its further increase threatens to destroy the entrance. In the appendix there are reports to the Admiralty, from the officer carrying on the surveying service in the neighbourhood of Harwich, to which we beg to refer for a full confirmation of our opinion of the necessity of taking immediate measures for the preservation and im provement of this harbour. If this be not done soon, it Is impossible to calculate on the extent of mischief which may take place; for on every south-west gale the Beacon Cliff is in peril of being washed into the sea. We, ther,fore, feel it to be our duty to submit to your Lordships the pressing necessity for carrying out a breakwater or stone groyne, from the outside of the Beacon Cliff, so as to surround the foot of it, and to ex tend the same over the shoal-water to the north part of the Cliff-foot rocks, as described in the plan No. 6. We also recommend deepening the channel to the harbour to 18 feet at low water spring tides, by remov ing the shoals called the " Altars,' and the eastern part of another shoal called the " Glutton." t is unnecessary, therefore, tD assure you that you are in possession of their entire confidence—a confidence founded on th e re p u t a ti on y ou h ave esta bli s h e d for your self, not only as a soldier, but as a statesman. You are fully acquainted with the system which the wisdom of Parliament has devised and established for the administration of the vat territories which the East India Company has acquired for the British Crown in India. To the Court of Directors. subjeet to the control of the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India, is entrusted, as you are aware, the general administration of those territories. The orders which, from time to time, are transmitted to India, emanate from the Court, and, being confirmed by the Court, are then issued, in the name of the Court, for the direction and guidance of the local authorities. You will perceive, therefore, that the maintenance of respect for the authority of the Court is demanded by the existing system of the Indian Government ; and we are persuaded that you will impress this feeling upon our servants abroad, not merely by precept, but by your example. On the part of the Court I have at the same time, the happiness of assuring you that, reposing the utmost confidence in your judgment, and bearing us mind the heavy responsibility under which you will be called upon to act, at so great a distance from the con trolling authorities, they will ever be disposed to regard your measures in the most favourable view, and to afford to you, in the exercise of your high office, their steady and cordial support. In the discharge of the onerous duties of government you will be aided by your constitutional advisers, the members of the Council of India—men selected for the high and responsible station which they occupy with reference to their knowledge, experience, and honourable character. In the servants of the Company, both civil and mili tary, you will find talent, and every necessary qualifica tion for the various duties to be discharged, and an ardent zeal for the advancement of the great interests com mitted to their care. Much has been done to secure, for both services, the advantages of due preparation, and you will not fail to recollect that the members of the civil service are educated, not only with particular care, but with a special view to the important duties of civil administration, upon the upright and intelligent per formance of which so much of the happiness of the people depends. I doubt not that your experience will coincide with that of the great men who in former times have filled the office of Governor-General, in enabling you justly to appn ciate the eminent qualities of the civil servants 1)f India; and I feel persuaded that your confi dence in them hill be returned by the most zealous exer tion on their part to promote the success of your adnai nis.tration. 14 4 \V LIFE ASS% RANCE, OT/c,, OFFICE, F leet -street, Dec. 23, 18 . 44.

History affords proof of the importance attached to this place as a military and naval station. As the advanced post of England on the south-east coast, the want of a harbour here of sufficient capacity for the reception of vessels of war, and for the conveni ence and protection of trade, has attracted the notice of Sovereigns and Ministers from the earliest times, and has led to a large expenditure of money for the improve ment of the present tidal harbour. In considering positions eligible for the construction of breakwaters, it should be borne in mind that an inner harbour is an indispensable requisite ; and, if there is no natural advantage of that sort in the position selected, there must be the double operation of building an inner as well as an outer harbour. There are few places that in this respect possess greater advantages than Dover. It has a dry dock for repairs, and extensive quays with storehouses. Besides the outer receiving harbour, there is a basin covering more than six acres (now being enlarged to double that size), and a third, called the Pent, which the late Mr. Rennie, in his report to Mr. Pitt, in 1802, says may of itself be made capable of receiving many sloops of war and gun-brigs, and which the Dover Commissioners are now considerably improving. Mr. Pitt, when Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, was earnestly intent on having Dover Bay inclosed, and it was this circumstance which led to our obtaining from the Master-General of the Ordnance the plan of a har bour in Dover bay by the late Major-General Ford, of the Royal Engineers. There are two points, each of great importance, which have been suggested as objections to any proposal for converting Dover•bay into a harbour ; onr, that the holding ground is not good ; the other, that it will have a tendency to silt up. With respect to the quality of the anchoring ground her Majesty's steam-vessel the Blazer, of 500 tons, and 120 horse-power, was ordered there to test its tenacity to the utmost. The nature of the experiments, and the satisfactory result, will be seen in Captain Washington's report in the appendix. In reference to the question of silting up, the Com missioners directed samples of the water in Dover• bay to be taken up at different times of tide, in d fferent depths, and under varying circumstances of weather, which have been transmitted to the director of the Museum of Economic Gellogy for examination. The result, as reported by Mr. Phillips, will be found in the appendix. CHAPMAN AND HALL'S MONTHLY SERIES. A COLLECTION? OF ORIGINAL WORKS OF FICTION AND BIOGRAPHY.

WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by a person of Sciance in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as , ilver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and Sideboard:— Fiddle.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger Ind a smaller forming Ft cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles. -There is an exhibition in London, of great and deserved popularity, whose somewhat learned name denotes its purpose—the Polytechnic Institution. It is a repository of MANY Arts. There is another establishment, which has another Greekish name of much higher pretensions—by which we understand nothing more nor less than EVERYTHING relating to art. This must indeed be a wonderful exhibition, if its collections at all realise its title. For what is Art? It is the practical application of knowledge to the production of all things whatever that can administer to the uses of man—to the humblest necessities of the body, to the highest gratifications of the mind. The word Art, then, is all-comprehensive. But what no exhibition of real processes and products can accom plish may be attained in a great degree by " A PICTORIAL GALLERY OF ARTS." By the aid of three or four thousand Engravings we can open to the view the entire kingdom of Technical Skill, in all its more important operations. We can exhibit man, in every region of the earth, la bouring, with more or less success, to surround himself with those necessaries, comforts, and conveniences, which constitute ele ments of civilisation. We can show him going forward into the higher range of arts, and surrounding his domestic and public life with the attributes of Taste, and moving onward and onward till he reach the highest development of the principles of Beauty. Here, again, is another kingdom of art. Inseparably allied are these great divisions of knowledge in practice—and when they are separated essentially in men's minds, there can be no permanent success even for what is ignorantly held to belong exclusively to the useful. But, though there be this unity of object, yet, for the sake of convenient arrangement, and for leading onward from the simpler to the higher productions of technical skill, our Pictorial Gallery of Arts will have:two divisions. The first ►ill be devoted to what we have been accustomed to call the Useful Arts ; the second to what in the same way we have been accustomed to call the Fine Arts. But the union of all art will be essentially kept in mind. The utility of oar First Gaiter- is manifest. But when we open our Second Gallery of the Fine Arts, and display our pictorial representations of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting, Ancient and Modern, we know that a familiarity with the beautiful sculptures of antiquity, with the noble paintings of the great modern schools, and with the glorious monuments of Grecian and Middle-age architecture, must have an enduring effect up n the manufacture of a Worcester tea-cup or a Paisley shawl. Our two Galleries will be " a school of design" of no inconsiderable value, by this union of the useful and ornamental. We cannot call our work a Pantechnicon; but it will be the most complete Polytechnicon ever opened for public instruction and amusement. C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant recherche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and Opal. . _ - Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s.

Dover, situated at a distance of only 4i miles from the Goodwin Sands, and standing out favourably to pro tect the navigation of the narrow seas, is naturally the situation for a squadron of ships of war. Its value, in a military point of view, is undoubted ; but the con struction of a harbour of refuge there is, in our opinion, indispensable, to give to Dover that efficiency as a naval station which is necessary in order to provide for the security of this part of the coast and the protection of trade. At the present moment difficulties have arisen in our native army requiring to be met by prompt and decisive measures. We trust that ere you arrive in India these difficulties may have passed away ; but should you find them still existing, we are confident that you will act towards the sepoy with every degree of consideration and" indulgence compatible with the maintenance of order and obedience, the first and paramount duty of the soldier. 1. That a harbour be constructed in Dover Bay, ac cording to plan No, I, with an area of 520 acres up to low water mark, or 380 acres without the two fathom edge; with an entrance 700 feet wide on the south front, and another of 150 at the east end. t ti l- , :---- ci ----- -------__________ T Iv Ail' stri p h - t TElt 'S CONFE S S ION. k _ hasti t 9 Rreen leaves froM the boughs of the a vai l bl Y s we• -NI . e* ' OP the P nri My turbulent . b reeze ; trees , t eah l. „.. nlo the .ta ck, ha 4 41 ewer „Rori e , ~ and bluw dowd the cot, 1 _ f re. . t _ tne 6 eida “ 8 odness knows what. ean 40 wh , ht . the or. h a mart eof snow, -IQ /, ' , at th e -- ` lO tili it ceases to 8.. w • ktne was e ow, ra su , /rimer has never set done: For si ' " hen 1 t i a • d ma naBc E.

All MediCal Advice is Quackery, because there is in fact but one disease, Impurity of the Blood, and, therefore, but one remedy —viz., Proper Vegetable Purgation. It is only because Doctors, in order is make a trade of medicine, use poisons and anti-medicinal preparations as medicines for the cure of diseases, that " advice," as it is called, becomes necessary ; but• if you do away with poisons or anti-medicinal preparations, and only take that which is proper and good, and which acts in accordance with the laws of Nature, then all advice betel - TICS unnecessary. This is the reason that all trite llYgeistS aro their own doctors, and laugh at what docturit term " advice." Whenever they feel pain of ant' kind they have recourse to the Ve getable - Universal Medicine (Morison's Pills), which they can regulate Without fear, so as to produce proper evacua tions, commencing with four or five pills, and increasing if necessary ; hence the fact of Stattlich Ilygeists In some cases taking twenty, thirty, and even fotty pills at a dose, thereby proving the universality of the Medicine, as in the case of L , dy Sophia Grey, for disease of the spine ; Sir Richard Sutton's Son, for consumption ; living Monuments to attest the fact, and thousands of others. But with the poisons of the Doctors, such as prussic acid, opium, arsenic, deadly nightshade, &c., &c., if you take a grain or so too much, death is the consequence and therefore, to those pets' tut who tire, from a state of ignorance, obliged bV doctors' treatment to make use of such poisons, " advice," of cotirEe,i)eCOrnes necessary. It is by giving advice Nutt doctors Make a trade of medicine ; and hence their violent and unjust opposition to Mr. Morison's system, because it does away with all mystery, and enables every man to become his own doctor. This should never be forgotten by the public. Hygeists, therefore, for the reasons before mentioned, most solemnly protest against the use of poisons as medicines, or their being held out to the world as such.

The following case has excited so much inter-st, that the Guardians of the pat ish of Brent, Devon, have considere 1 it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the ndersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ito. line, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mig .t have laid hi- fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them tor some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the It ast benefit. Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co i - pletely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any map in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

The Harbour-master states that in the winter:of 1832 there were at one time 434 sail in the port, and if the additional basin before alluded to at the west end be made, there will be room for upward. of 600 sail. It will be an improvement if the approaches and en trance to the harbour can be deepened by the use of dredging vessels, or other means applicable to the purpose. - THE tpl ß ac ß e A w BRAKE, OR SMALL DOWNS. The ex E' have to notice is " Th e B ra k e, " n within which is the anchorage called th e " Small Downs." It is here that a harbour has been proposed by Sir J. H.Pelly, deputy-masterof the corporation of the Trinity House, one of the Committee of Management of Rams• gate Harbour, and a member of this Commission. Any suggestion of this nature, coming from sat h a quarter, could not fail to engage our best attention. The "Small Downs!' is an anchorage of considerable extent, lying between the Brake Sand and the shore northward of Deal. The holding ground is good, and it is the general anchorage of the smaller class of merchant vessels having occasion to bring up in the Downs. thus Laving the Great Downs more clear for ships of a larger draught of water. The Brake Sand is about five miles in length, with a depth upon it at low water, spring tides, of from 3 to 12 feet. It shelters the Small Downs from the east in the same way that the Goodwin Sands shelter the whole of the Downs for a distance of nine miles.

The Treasury minute under which we act gives for our guidance three principal objects, viz.:— I. The formation of ports of refuge for the safety and convenience of vessels navigating the British Channel. 2. That these should be calculated to become, in the event of hostilities, the stations for ships of war. 3. The consideration of expense as compared with the public advantages likely to result from the construction of such works. Our instructions do not bind us by any strictly specific limits. We are told, "If we think one harbour in the charnel is not sufficient, we are 'at liberty to extend our inquiries accordingly?! We avail ourselves of the scope thus given to us, and being unanimously of opinion that one harbour would not be sufficient, we proceeded to the extreme west of the narrow part of the channel at Portland, and eastward to Harwich, which, though not strictly within the limits of the channel, is on the south-east coast, and forms an important termination to our line in that direction. Any less comprehensive view of the coast would have fallen short of the spirit of your Lordships' instructions. The surveyors placed at our disposal by the Admiralty were directed to make detailed surveys of the anchoring ground at each place, and also to ascertain if any change had occurred since the publication of the last - charts. This service has been admirably performed by Captain Washington and the officers of her Majesty's surveying vessel the Blazer, at the eastern ports, and at Portland with equal skill by Commander Sheringham and the officers of the Fearless surveying -vessel. Throughout our proceedings we have received un limited assistance from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and, amongst other advantages, their Lord ships have permitted us to refer, as occasion required, to their hydrographer, Captain Beaufort, whose ready help has been most useful. We obtained every information we could desire from the officers of the Cinque Ports, from the officers of the Royal En .inners, the collectors of Customs, and from the officers of the Coast Guard. The Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Shipwrecks, to which we are referred by your Lordships, has been read by each member of the Commission, and the copious information contained in that volume is yell worthy the attention of all who may at any time be engaged in considering matters relating to the ports and maritime interests of the kingdom. It was not to be supposed that an inquiry of such a nature as the construction of harbours could be entered on without bringing forward many intelligent persons with propositions of various kinds ; and the appendix shows their names and the nature of their proposals. To each individual we have given a patient hearing, as our minutes of examination fully testify; and every fair consideration has been bestowed on their plans. We invited the Chairman of Lloyd's and the Chairman of the Shipowners' Society to meet us, or to delegate others to state the opinions of those great mercantile bodies with reference to the positions they consider best as ports for the shelter of their trade. We have also had before us every class of persons who were thought capable of affording information, including several eminent engineers; and, in order to guard against the often misleading opinions of residents at the different ports, we hare examined many others practically ac quainted with the various places, whom we believed to be unbiassed by local partialities. The examination of persons so varied in their pursuits could not but afford much useful information. It has, however, been no light task to deal with the conflictiug opinions they offer. With these preliminary remarks we proceed to lay before your Lordships the result of our deliberate consi deration of the whole of the circumstances which have earnestly occupied our attention. FORENESS. We proceeded, in the first instance, to Foreness, near the North Foreland, the site which the Harbour Com mission of 1840 recommended as the place third in im portance for an artificial harbour, giving a preference first to Dover, and secondly to Beachyhead. It is right to name the persons who composed that Commission,* in ord er t h at t h e i r op i nions may have the influence justly due to the high distinction they hold in their different professions. The Commission of 1840 had specific limits assigned to its operations—namely, " To visit the coast between the mouth of the Thames and Selsea Bill ; to examine the ports, with reference to their being available as places of shelter for vessels passing through the Chan nel, in cases of distress from weather, and also as places of refuge for merchant vessels from enemies' cruisers in time of war ; and more especially as to their being made stations for armed steamers employed for the protection of our trade in the narrow parts of the Channel." We quote this instruction both with reference to what we have to state respecting Foreness, and to other mat ters we shall have to mention in the course of our report. Foreness stands well in the fairway of the traffic be tween the Thames and the Downs, and would, no doubt, if converted into a harbour, frequently prove to be a very convenient anchorage for outward-bound vessels caught off the Foreland by strong south-west gales, and for homeward-bound ships meeting With adverse winds. The Commission of 1840 give weight to their proposal in favour of Foreness by observing that a harbour there " must be regarded as one of refuge for vessels navigat ing or stationed in the North Sea ; ' but if their instruc tions had not precluded them from the consideration of Harwich, we think they would have sugeested the im provement of that splendid natural harbour, at a small expense, rather than have proposed a large outlay of money in constructin g one at Foreness. Nothing can be more manifest than the fact that Har wich, as far as position goes (being actually on the shores of the North Sea), is the proper place for a squa dron of steamers on that station, as well as for a harbour of refuge for merchant ships ; while the neighbouring anchorage in Hollesby-bay is favourably suited for ships of the line. On this account it seems to us unnecessary to con struct a harbour at Foreness ; and we think the Com mission of 1840 would have taken the same view of the subject if Harwich had come within their examination. RAMSGATE. Our next visit was to the port of Ramsgate, a mere creek in 1748, but now of such capacity that, in the last three years, the number of vessels which arrived in that harbour amounted on an average to 1,600 sail a-year, exclusive of fishing craft, town boys, and the daily voyatses of steamers. Ramsgate harbour is kept clear partly by its back water ; and if ever the basin at the west end, desi gne d by the late Mr. Rennie, be carried into execution, it will give increased power of backwater, and enable the port t.s receive many more ships. The improvement u:Ramsgate harbour is the result of vigorous efforts by the managing trustees, and their success, which cannot be too highly appreciated, is for cibly exhibited by contrasting its present increased utility with the facts stated by the celebrated Smeaton, who says that the number of vessels that entered the harbour in the year 1780 amounted to .................. 29 sail. 1785 ............................... 215 1790 ........ 387 DUNGENESS. This place is a singular formation of shingle, spread ing over a space of sev era l m il es , stretc hi ng out seawaad into the fairway of the channel, and having at its termi nation deep water close to the beach. It is without build ings, except the lighthouse and several batteries, the barracks of which are occupied by the coast guard. The point of Dungeness has lengthened out consider ably since the present lighthouse was built, in 1792. There is an inscription within the tower by which it ap pears that at the time it was built the sea was at a dis tance of 100 yards at low water. We, on our visit to that place, measured it, and found it to be about 190 yards, showing that it has lengthened out 90 yards in 52 years. It is to be regretted that no periodical account has been kept of the lengthening out of the point, which, if it had been taken every year and registered in the light house, would have afforded information of great impor tance, and would have shown whether the rate of elon gation has been uniform or otherwise. The Commission consider it very desirable that an accurate record be pre served hereafter of all alterations of Dungeness point and its immediate vicinity; of its annual extension sea ward; of the effects of great storms upon it; and gene rally of the movement of the shingle. For this purpose the Commission beg to suggest that the Admiralty, is conjunction with the Trinity-house, be requested to give directions on the subject. Dungeness has ever been remarkable for its good holding ground. Both bays afford excellent and exten sive anchorage, according to the state of the wind. It is in evidence that upwards of 300 sail have been shel• tered in the East Bay at one time, and that more than 100 vessels were at anchor in the West Bay a few days before the Commission arrived there. Where nature presents so much accommodation and shelter, it will al ways be a matter for serious consideration whether it may not be well to be satisfied with what is already so good, and to give to other places of acknowledged importance, in point of position, the artificial assistance they need, iu order to render them available as places of secure anchorage. Dungeness does not possess the ad vantage of an inner harbour, as Dover, Seaford, and Portland. This, however, takes nothing from its value as a roadstead for merchantmen and for ships of war. Having come to the conclusion that it was not expe dient to construct a breakwater at Dungeness, we do not advert in detail to what has appeared in evidence as to the effects which such a work would be likely to produce on the lengthening or otherwise of the point; and on the anchorage in the East and West Bays ; but we refer to the opinions of several eminent engineers touching the advantages of this important place. BEACHY HEAD, EASTBOURNE, AND SEAFORD. We have now to draw your Lordships' attention to the bay on the east side of Beachy Head, and westward of Langley Point, which the Commission of 1840 proposed as a site for a breakwater. The shoals called the Royal Sovereign and others as laid down in the Admiralty chart, first attracted our no tice with reference to this work ; it was, therefore, thought desirable to have a more detailed and extended examination of the bay by the surveying-vessel placed at our disposal by the Admiralty. The result has been the discovery of several other patches of shoal water, as shown in the accompanying chart, and our previous impression as to the hazard of placing a harbour of refuge in such a situation has been so strengthened that we decided to look for a more eligible one on the west side of the head. There is no inner harbour or opening along the coast on the east side of Beachy Head. On the west side of Beachy Head the anchorage is free from the dangers which render the east side h ss eligible as a place for constructing a harbour of refuge. The holding ground off Seaford is of the best quality, and is much resorted to in easterly gales. The Commission is of opinion that there is no good position in the neighbourhood of Beachy Head, where a harbour is as necessary as in any part of the Channel (being about half way between Dover and Portsmouth), except in Seaford-road, and the accompanying chart shows the place where a breakwater may be constructed with great advantage to the trade, and as a station for armed vessels. The Commission is fully aware of tie ob c iections which Entertaining the strong opinion we have expressed of the necessity of providing, without delay, a sheltered anchorage in Dover Bay, we venture to urge upon your Lordships' attention the advantage of immediately be ginning the work by carrying out that portion which is to commence at Cheesman's-head. Whatever may be finally decided upon as to the form and extent of the works in Dover Bay, the pier from Cheesman's head, run out into seven fathoms water, ap• pears to be indispensable as a commencement, and it will afford both facility and shelter to the works to be subse quently carried on for their completion. This will give sheltered access to the present harbour during south-west gales, and protect it from the entrance of shingle from the westward ; it will afford time also for observation on the movement of the shingle within the bay, and for further inquiry as to the tendency which harbours of large area, on this part of the coast, may have to silt up. These inquiries the Commission consider to be of essential importance, and the results will afford the means of determining on the greater or less width that should be given to the entrances of the proposed harbour. 2. We propose that a breakwater be constructed in Seaford Road, in a depth of about seven fathoms of water, one mile in extent, and sheltering an area of 300 acres, as shown in plan No. 2. 3. That a breakwater be constructed in Portland Bay, to extend a mile and a quarter in a north-eastern direction, from near the northern point of the island, in about seven fathoms of water, having an opening of 150 feet at a quarter of a mile from the shore, and sheltering an area of nearly 1,200 acres, as shown in plan No. 3. If only one work is to be undertaken at a time, we give the preference to Dover, next to Portland, and thirdly to Seaford. MODE OF CONSTRUCTION. Various plans for constructing breakwaters have been laid before us by highly intelligent individuals, whose projects are noted in the appendix, and fully explained in the evidence. We are directed by your Lordships to report on the expense to be incurred by the completion of the works which we recommend ; but, as no approximate estimate of this can be made without determining the general principles and modes of construction, we have examined the engineers who have come before us and other autho rities upon these important points. The various opinions have been considered by the Commission, who prefer for the construction of break waters, and for the security of the works of defence upon them, the erection of walls of masonry. The Commission do not offer any opinion as to the profile or degree of slope necessary to insure to the structure the requisite stability. They consider that this will be best decided by the Government, under pro fessional advice, when the works shall be finally deter mined on. The cost of either mode of construction having been stated to be nearly the same, whether it be maso Plymouth o l i ; a long slope of rough stone similar to that of Plymouth breakwater, the Commission beg to Lordships an approximate estimate of theay before your works at the several places, viz.:— Dover nom. Seaford Portland Harwich MILITARY DEFENCES. The military members of the Commission are of opi nion that there will be no difficulty in providing for the defence of the proposed harbours. They recommend that casemated batteries be con strutted on the breakwaters themselves, and that these should be supported by works and defences on the shore, flanking the approach to them and to the entrance to the harbours. At Dover and Seaford there already exist works of defence contiguous to the site of the proposed break waters, capable of being adapted to this object. The islard 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. The military officers are further of opinion, that the position and construction of the works necessary for the defence of the proposed harbours cannot be decided on until the exact site and relation of the latter to the shore shall have been finally determine& £2,500,000 1,250,000 500,000 50,000 By our latest intelligence we are induced to hope 1131) . 1 ' peace prevails throughout India. I need not s a y it Is our anxious desire that it should be preserved. You, Sir, well know how great are the evils of war, and we feel confident that, whilst ever ready to maintain unim paired the honour of our country and the supremacy of our arms, your policy will be essentially pacific. To the native states which still retain independence, you will extend the shield of British protection. It has hitherto been considered a wise and just policy to uphold and support those which are in alliance with us; and in dealing with those which are more immediately dependent upon our Government, we have, with a view to soothe the feelings, and conciliate the attachment, of both chiefs and people, permitted the former to retain the recognised emblems of authority, their titles and other insignia of rank and station. Peace, apart from its other advantages, is desirable with a view to the prosperity of our finances, and the, development of the resources of the country. From a. natural desire on the part of our Government to render the public service as efficient as possible, there is always a tendency to an increase of establishments. A steady and vigilant attention will be, therefore, necessary to enforce the strictest economy consistent with the effi ciency of the service. This duty is rendered the more urgent by the existing state of the finances of India but it is at all times necessary, from the difficulty expe rienced in that country in devising new sources of revenue, or rendering those already existing more pro ductive, and more commensurate with the exigencies of the State. I feel assured, therefore, that your early and anxious attention will be directed to the best means for averting financial embarrassment, and for placing the public finances on a sound and satisfactory footing. It has long been the desire of the Court to encourage education among the people of India, with a view of cul tivating and enlarging their minds, of raising them in their own and our estimation, and of qualifying thew for the more responsible offices under our Government. It is, however, necessary, with reference to the subject of education, to exercise great prudence and caution, in order to avoid even the appearance of any interference with their religious feelings and prejudices, and to main tain on such points the strictest neutrality. protection. cour totir l e t et h o as rs that the government of the East India Company should India and its wh li o 'i l r e ia b l od ly, y S o i f r t l h l e en p r e y o . p l le w o o f u ß ld ri c t • i a s r h nestrecommend ty the always depen dencies b t e o e y n io t u h r e p ea a r re n r , n s a t i d e c s a i r r e e o a f n t d h e be eminently just, moderate, and conciliatory.
