The plaintiff was a young lady, aged 18 years, the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Forrest, a beneficed clergyman of the Established Church ; and the defendant, Captain O'Brien, of the 72d Highlanders, which regiment was stationed at Mitchelstown, in the county of Cork, last autumn. An acquaintance sprung up between -the par ties, and, after a brief courtship, the Gallant Officer pro posed marriage, was at once accepted, and the day all but fized for the nuptial ceremony. Subsequently, however, the defendant, who has reached the ma ture age of forty years, slackened in his attentions, and finally broke off on his corps being ordered for foreign service. The main ground relied upon for the defence was, that the evidence for the plaintiff, documentary or otherwise, failed in furnishing positive proof of an actual promise of marriage. Colonel Sir Gaspard Le Marchant was examined with the view of showing, from his military experience, that the pay of a captain of infantry was of itself totally inadequate to maintain a wife in respectability ; and, in answer to a question by the plaintiff's counsel, as to whether there was any additional accommodation provided for an officer when he married and brought his wife home to quarters, the witness replied in the negative, adding, amidst shouts of laughter, that the. Commander -in - Chief did not recognise the ladies at all. The jury, after twenty minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 2501. damages and 6d. costs, the foreman adding, that if there was any proof that the defendant had any property beyond his pay, they would award much larger damages.

A General Conference of Trades' Delegates, from all parts of the kingdom, commencPd its sittings yesterday at the Parthenium Club-rooms in St. Martin's-lane. It originated in a meeting of delegates from the London Trades, held at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, on the Gth of February, when resolutions were passed by which the present position of the trades was described as ." extremely perilous," and it was an nounced that a conference would-be held at Easter, " to devise means by which an effectual resistance may be given to any measure introduced in'the present session of Parliament, tending to impair the interests of the work ing classes." A hope was expresso din the circular issued by the Committee appointed to prepare for the Confer ence, that it " would be all powerful in preventing the introduction, or deterring the prosecution, of any mea sure in Parliament of a similar character to that of the Masters' and Servants' Bill." Shortly after two o'clock the chair was taken by T. S. Duncombe, Esq., M.P. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to open the meeting in the following words :—Gentlemen, in assuming the office which your confidence rather than my own will or fitness has imposed upon me, I feel some difficulty—a dif ficulty not arising out of any misgiving as to your ability to devise and power to execute any plan that the majority of this highly important assembly shall deli berately agree upon, but the difficulty, of deciding upon the most proper and apt machinery for the purpose of giving effect to your judgment. Gentlemen, I learn that you have wisely de cided upon excluding all political topics from your consideration; but I feel convinced that, should the day arrive when the English mind shall see that " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work" can only be achieved through the fair representation in Parliament of those seeking their just rights, that then my countrymen will, with their characteristic boldness, demand such a change in the system as shall ensure to them not only the possession, but the protection of the fruits of their industry.—(Cheers.) It is wise, however, that you should first test the willingness of those who have the power not only to remedy your grievances, but to render . 7any great political change valueless in your eyes.—(Hear, hear.) It is better to persuade men than to coerce them, and should your first move have been in a poli tical direction I fear that the varied elements of which this national assembly must naturally consist, would have presented an appearance of internal contention and strife, rather than of organisation and union, two ingre dients indispensable to the success of your project. Gentle men, although I am here rather to learn than to instruct, yet I hope I may, without presumption, be permitted to suggest such a course as I conceive best calculated to in sure success. You may, and most probably will, evince great wisdom and astuteness in those several discussions. bearing relatively or positively upon your several positions, while the manifold interests which are re presented upon this occasion may lead some to suppose that there is difficulty in combining those interests in any one common plan. Such, however, is not my opinion, for while there may appear no connexion between a cotton-spinner and a shoemaker, nevertheless, we must come to the conclusion, that that. machinery cannot be perfect which does not equally represent and equally protect the interests of both.—(Hear, hear.) This, then, is the important point to which I would respect fully direct your attention :—The establishment of such a devising and controlling body as shall give effect to, and fully carry out, whatever plan the majority of this assembly shall decide upon. You will have done but little, if you meet and separate, after having merely pro claimed your wrongs and suggested your remedies. You must do more—having the power, you must boldly pro claim your determination to redress yourselves ; and, humble as I am, I shall have sufficient confidence in your importance and integrity, when backed by your concur rence, to declare in my place in Parliament, that the hour has at length arrived when Englishmen know their rights, and are determined to possess them.—(Cheers.) In the debate upon the " Ten Hours' Bill," during the last session of Parliament, when the House of Commons stultified itself by preferring the ascendancy of a Minister to the interests and even the well-being of the working classes, my mind was for the first time directed to the practical operation of the principle of restriction, and to that question I would now draw your most serious atten tion. You will naturally consider whether or not any, or all the measures submitted by Parliament to the coun try, are calculated to cause an equitable distribution of the profits on trade between capitalists and labourers, and if they are not calculated to do so, you will then, I hope, enter upon the consideration of some well-digested plan to effect an object of the most vital importance, one upon which I do not hesitate to say the existence of the middle classes and of the landed aristocracy depends, and for this reason :—lf our mechanical powers of production go on increasing according to well-founded anticipa tions, one of two results must necessarily follow, either new markets must be discovered as consumers, or the surplus of idlers must progressively increase. As then the discovery of new customers is at best but problematical, we must look upon an increasing sur plus as the more rational result from improved machinery, and how to deal with that surplus is the question of paramount importance to those who are as yet allowed to labour and to live.—(Hear, hear.) Whether this sur plus should be maintained by those employed ,to avert competition, or by the Government—that is, by the country, according to the rules of justice, is the grand question. I hold that those at work cannot and ought not be called upon to apply any portion of their earnings to the support of a surplus created by the operation of a new system, over which they have no control ; and I further hold, that the Government has no right to tax one portion of the community for the maintenance of another portion, rendered dependent, while willing to labour.—(Hear, hear.) Those who have read the ac counts stated by me in the House of Commons, relative to the effect produced by practising the principles of restriction at Sheffield, must come to the conclusion that short hours of labour do not lead to a reduc tion of wages, although it may tend to reduce the inordinate profits of capitalists, accumulated rather from their power over the labour market than from the just sources of trade or speculation ;—in fact that calculations of profit and loss are now based upon the ability of the powerful to reduce the wages of the powerless, rather than upon the ordinary rules by which we are told commerce should be regulated. The reasons, however, why your employers have been enabled to hold your labour in complete subjection are so well known to all who have taken part in strikes, whether just, unjust, or speculative, that I should abstain from any comment upon that part of the subject, were it not necessary for the direction of your minds to the adoption of such measures as would enable you in future to judge, first, of the justice of a strike ; and secondly, of your effici ency to carry it out. In all cases where strikes have taken place they have been for the most part entered upon rashly, though perhaps justly ; and the justice of your case has been lost in the rashness of your measures. However righteous your claims may appear at first sight, it has too often happened that your own rashness has enabled your masters to enlist the power of the law to insure their own triumph, and hence have been compelled to fight against the two edged sword of capital and legal persecution. When ever a strike takes place the local authorities, who are for the most part employers have been able to warp some enthusiastic and justly indignant minds from their con struedthusyour imperfect machinery has been u nable to com p ete original into P c'r e P on s e t ' r t u o c ttihveea c cl on op sp ti i o r n acy of or what sed it i i s on e , a a si n l d y against the more perfect machinery of your opponents. Through the legal acumen, perseverance, and steady watchfulness of the miners' law adviser, Mr. Roberts, that large body of men were enabled to continue what I will call the most justifiable and extensive strike upon record, for a period of many months, notwith standing that the vengeance and the power of their masters was directed against them, and the power of the law was at their command, if the conduct of the men had authorised its interference. This strike failed, not because it was capriciously entered upon, but because there was wanting a proper plan of national or ganisation to insure its success. Gentlemen, this I un derstand to be a national body, and I must, therefore, presume that one of your main objects will be the esta blishment of sonic permanent machinery for the regula tion of trades' matters and trades' strikes. That that body shall be legally constituted, with power vested in its members to hear all matters connected with trades' business, and in all cases where the rights of any one trade are threatened or invaded, that that trade, if a strike should be sanctioned by the governing body, shall be sustained, upheld, and supported during the struggle, however long it shall continue: the terms to be submit ted to, and agreed upon by a majority of the governine• body. I think tha t such a p lan would divest a strike of that local and personal feeling which is in general attributed to the prime movers, and would give protec tion to those who, if struggling alone, must necessarily be subject to all those disadvantages which unprotected poverty experiences in its struggles with protected wealth.—(Hear, hear.) Of course, in the formation of such a body, you must take local machinery into your consideration ; that is, suppose a strike takes place in Sheffield or in Manchester, sanctioned by the ruling body, in such case you Fut yourselves in communication with the local delegates of that trade, appointed by their body—who become honorary members, for the time, of the general body—and, if necessary, you appoint one or more as commissioners from your permanent executive, to repair to the spot where the strike takes place, there to instruct themselves upon, and to inform you of, all matters connected with the movement, and in such cases it is my opinion that any excitement necessary to sustain the strike, should be transferred from the place where it occurs to the metropolis, where of course the governing body will hold its permanent sittings. By these means strikes, when just, would be of short duration, because the united power of the Rational trades of Great Britain, when properly and justly directed, as I feel assured they would be, would prove an over-match for the power of the local masters, or even the whole masters of the kingdom, should a counter -organisation be attempted. By systematic organisation of this kind the political minority in each country has been enabled to hold the ascendancy over the disunited and disorganised majority. You will perceive that I have thought it neces- ary to dwell more at length upon the description of machinery by which your plans are to be carried out, than upon the means you shall adopt for the adjustment of the several differences that exist between you and your masters, or that may hereafter occur. Gentlemen, you will also observe that I have not only abstained from comment upon all =airs upon wlich you must neces sarily be better instructed than myself, but that I have also abstained from noticing any political questions with which, from my position, I might be supposed to be more conversant than yourselves. ,I have thought this the wisest and best course for the achievement of our common object, which I understand to be "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, whatever view the curious, the idle, or the timid, may take of this great movement, I lissure you, it gives rise to very serious considerations in my mind. If this be in truth, as I believe and hope it is, a fair representation of that growing spirit of Englishmen of which we hear so much, and to curb which requires so much artifice and cun ning, its matured deliberations must go to the world with an irresistible effect.—(Cheers.) You have looked with anxious hope to each political party, and to every poli tical party, for that amelioration in your condition which you have at length wisely decided can only bo effected by your own united energies. Gentlemen, those who shall scan and criticise what may be decided upon by this representation of the industrious English people, should recognise in your intentions the practical carry ing out of their own theories. They one and all admit the vast increase that has taken place in the national wealth, while they are compelled also to admit your legitimate title to a share of it, but by some inexpli cable deficiency, in what may be called the division of legislation, all have failed to put you in possession of your admitted rights. If then, as no man can deny, that the genius and industry of our people have given rise to a vast accumulation of national wealth, and if the principle of professing philan thropists be true, that you are pre-eminently entitled to your share of this new-born wealth, I can characterise this assembly no otherwise than as the new-born genius of England righteously, peaceably, boldly, and honestly, looking for its share of the property that itself creates — (Loud applause)—while your willingness to submit your social claims to be arbitrated upon by others, must con vince even your traducers that your demands are so just that you are indifferent as to the character of the tribunal to whose judgment they shall be submitted. Gentlemen, if you see prudence, safety, and success in the course that I have pointed out, as I never recommend what I am not prepared to attempt, and believing your cause to be just, your motives honour able, and your objects desirable, I shall hold myself in increased estimation if I can be instrumental either within er without the walls of Parliament in advancing your in terests.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, however the self satisfied, or the expectant may ridicule this your peace ful endeavour to achieve your right, I feel fully im pressed with the importance of the working hand, and as fully resolved upon persevering with you, until we test the value of English union, English organisation, English justice, and Englishmen's bravery.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, our councils must be so pure, that we may defy the espionage of the Home Secretary, as well as the legal lash of the Attorney-General ; what my judgment prompts me to advise, my heart will encourage me to support, while the justice of your cause and the strength by which it is hacked, will preclude the necessity of other than perfectly peaceful, mild, and constitutional means for its achievement. Gentlemen—lf out of this first important experiment in the right direction should arise an annual representation of the industrious people of England, and you deem it necessary to manifest the outward and visible sign of your greatness and power, as your several opponents have done by the erection of club-houses as places of resort—(Hear, hear)—and as a means of multiplying and concentrating your resources, I shall be most happy to assist in any way that can tend to the furtherance of that or any other object p r o motive of the national cause.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen—Feeling pride as an Englishman and honour as a man, in the situation to which your confidence has this day called me, and rejoicing exceedingly that my humble exertions in your behalf should entitle me to your esteem. I shall now conclude the remarks which I have deemed it my duty to offer, and shall open what I proudly call " Labour's Parliament"—(Cheers) —by inviting those de legates who have anything to urge to proceed to business, trusting that your deliberations may prove beneficial to yourselves and satisfactory to the country.—(Cheers.) When the Chairman had concluded reading the above, he suggested that the Secretary should read his report, which he did. The substance of it was to the effect, that this meeting was called in order to carry out a better and more perfect organisation of the working classes than now existed ; and the object to be effected by this new and perfect organisation was, to enable the work ing classes to insure a better defence for themselves against oppressive monopolists and capitalists. This suggestion was made in consequence of the Committee feeling deeply impressed with the great necessity that existed for a good and clear understanding existing be tween the employer and the employed ; and in order to secure the latter from acts of injustice and oppression at the hands of the former. But great caution would be necessary to be exercised in the formation of the laws and rules, in order to avoid serious mistakes made on former occasions. Every inducement was recommended to be held out to individuals belonging to ether trades who had not yet joined, to do so, in order that all should make common cause ; and every support should be given to that portion of the public press that should give the fullest and most impartial reports of the proceedings of the meetings. The report concluded by recommending a total abstinence from the discussion of political topics. The report was unanimously agreed to. Air. WILSON, boot-maker, and member of the Com mittee, next addressed the meeting. lle said the Com mittee had instructed him to suggest that they conceived that the best line of proceeding for this meeting to adopt, in the first instance, would be to appoint a secretary ; and, in the second, to appoint a sub-Committee, through whom should come to the general Committee, and thence to the meeting, all suggestions made by indi vidual representatives.—(Hear, hear.) Every one in this meeting should admit the necessity for this line of proceeding from the knowledge they had of the past.— (Hear, hear.) It was also most desirable that a good understanding should exist between the working classes and those upon whom they were dependent.—(Hear, hear.) With these observations be would conclude by saying it afforded him great pleasure to move that Mr. Thomas Barrett be elected secretary. This proposition was also unanimously adopted, and Mr. BARRATT having returned thanks, The CHAIRMAN said he conceived that the suggestion of the Committee, that had come through Mr. Wilson, namely, to appoint a Committee in the first instance, was a wise and prudent course, and the one by which the trades were most likely to benefit their cause.—(Hear.) Mr. ROBSON, ladies' shoemaker, begged leave to be allowed to suggest that as a means of raising a discus sion by which to ascertain the feelings and opinions of the delegates now present, they should be called on to say what suggestions they had to offer before the Com mittee be appointed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RATRAY, calico-printer, Crayford, Kent, said he had been sent there not so much for the purpose of offer ing any suggestions, as to listen to those that should be offered by others ; but from what had already taken place, he would respectfully recommend that the admi rable address of their chairman should be printed and distributed amongst the members, for he conceived it contained the gist of all that they wanted for a beginning. —(Hear, hear.) He looked upon the address as an im portant public document, and if his suggestion should be adopted he would send some of them to Scotland and the North of England. He would suggest that 1,000 copies be printed, and that the report just read be printed with It, as had been suggested by a member. Mr. JONlieb, representative of the fustian cutters of Manchester, said, there appeared to him to be some differ ence of opinion as to whether the address should be printed or a discussion entered upon first. Now, he could not see why both could not be done at once and the same time.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the one was not at all inconsistent with the other. The address contained many very valuable, practical suggestions, and, therefore,it could not be too extensively distributed amongst the trades.--(Hear.) Then, with regard to the course to be pursued in discussing sugges tions, he would recommend that an alphabetical list be made out of the representatives of the trades, and that the chairman should read out the names from that list, and, in doing so, should call upon the representative whom he named, to state what were the views and opi nions of those whom he represented. The question was then put that 1,000 copies of the address be printed, which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said he then held in his hand a list similar to that mentioned by Mr. Jones, though it was not alphabetical, and he could easily go through- it ; but he would, at the same time, say that it appeared to him to be the most u'eful course to appoint the committee at first. Whether that committee was to be a select one, or " a committee of the whole house," as they said in Par liament—(A laugh)—would be for the meeting to deter mine ; but, if that committee should be appointed, they would have the address and report before them, and having taken both into consideration, then they could meet again, say to-morrow, or the next day, and that would appear to him to be the more fitting time to raise the discussions alluded to.—(hear, hear.) If that sug gestion met the approbation of the meeting, perhaps some member would propose it. Mr. ROBERTSON, bookbinder, had great pleasure in making the proposition ; and, in doing so, he begged to say he quite concurred in the views of the c h a irman. He was aware that there were in the room representatives from Bristol and other places who had suggestions to make, and if these were first made to the committee, when the committee brought up their report would be the time to raise a discussion upon it. Mr. DUNNING, bookbinder, begged to second the motion. He conceived that this course would afford the Committee an opportunity of ascertaining how far the suggestions of the delegates , and those of the Chair. man's address, and the report, could be carried out. As to the printing of the address, he believed there could be no second opinion upon that, and the fact of the print ing was an admission that it had been adopted. A DELEGATE suggested, that as the Chairman called the names, each delegate called should state what was the number of the trade he represented, in order to ascertain the strength of each body. Mr. DUNNING, bookbinder, having then been called, said he represented 600, and they were of opinion that their discussions should keep clear of politics, except when the proceedings in Parliament compelled them to do so.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. REED, engine -maker, said that very little time had been allowed the trades to send representatives there, and therefore in calling over the names of those now present, the number should rot be taken as a criterion by which to judge of the feeling that generally existed amongst the trades in the country on the question that had caused this meeting to be convened.—(Hear, hear.) He knew many trades in the country that were not at all aware of this meeting, or they would have attended, and therefore this meeting could not be fairly called a meeting of the representatives of the trade in the country districts.—(Hear, hear.) lie deemed it necessary to make these few observations, in order that a contrary impression should not go forth to the world. A DELEGATE said he came from Sheffield, and could say that but very few indeed of the trades there had heard of this meeting, and those only a few days ago ; and since that time he had been going round to the other trades, but had not been able to complete giving notice ; therefore if the names called out were to be presumed as the representatives of the locality he came from, there would be but a mere fraction of the trades of those places represented.—(Hear.) There were three others with him here, and they represented about forty different tradea.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SPURR said he had come there as the represen tative of eight different trades in Huddersfield, but they had heard nothing of this meeting, and could not there fore be expected to be present. Mr. BLACKHURST from Sheffield said, that not one fifth of all the trades in combination had seat dele gates to the conference ; and he should object, there fore, to any detailed account of the delegates present being given as if the representation were a fair and com plete one. He suggested that the reports of the various delegates be deferred till to-morrow; and that the time of meeting that afternoon should be occupied in discussing other preliminaries necessary to this great movement. Mr. RATTRAY, calico block printer, of Crayford, in Kent, said it must be recollected that many delegates represented several trades, and were fully acquainted with all their views. Many persons would be asto nished, perhaps, to learn the numbers actually repre sented at the Conference.—(Hear, hear.) After some further conversation, the motion for the appointment of a Committee, to consider how far it would be desirable to carry out the suggestions contained in the Chairman's speech was agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read over the list of delegates, and, as the names were called over, the parties severally stated what body they represented in the Conference. Mr. JAMES stated that he represented six hundred shoemakers of the City of London ; Mr. Smith, of the west-end of London, 700 • Mr. Robson, ladies' shoe • makers, of the City of London, 200 ; Mr. S.

Crichton, silk hatters, 200 ; Mr. Roberts, the same, 180 ; Messrs. Arch and Jones, the Protective Society of Silk Hatters, 176 ; Mr. Hill, sawyers of Surrey, 40 ; Mr. Gard ner, morocco leather finishers, 156 ; Mr. Cor nish, woolstapler, distributed over the whole country, 500 ; Mr. Hatfield, cordwainer, of Clapham, 100 ; Mr. Allen, tin-plate workers, 300 ; Messrs.

Mr. LLOYD JONES, fustian cutter, said he represented about 2,000 of the trade in Manchester, but they were not in union. The instructions he had received were, that the Parliament should be moved to abridge the labour of children, to support the surplus labour out of the surplus funds of the state, and that they will assist each other to prevent oppression by the capitalists. Bakers of Manchester,—Mr. Heane said he represented 150 working men, who complained that, while other working men went home to their wives, they were obliged to work.—(Laughter.) Grinders, Sheffield,—John Drury said • be repre sented about 1,000, but that was only a portion of the trade. Spring-knife cutlers,—Mr. Wm.

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—OR Saturday after noon the police received information that a lady named Bryant, residing at Lambeth, was robbed in Crawford street, Portman-square , of nearly 501., under the follow ing circumstances :—Mrs. Bryant left her home between eleven and twelve o'clock, and got into an omnibus to proceed to Crawford-street. At the corner of Baker street and Crawford street she was put down and paid her fare, having just before quitting the omnibus taken the money out of her purse, which she immediately re turned to her pocket. On her arrival at the house of a gentleman named Dent, in Crawford-street, she missed her purse, which was a green leather one, containing a 401. Bank of England note, six sovereigns, tend some silver, when she recollected that two young men, who had with thorn a lad, and who sat opposite to her, had watched her while opening her purse ; and it has since been ascertained that the same parties left the omnibus immediately after Mrs. 'Bryant, and walked down Craw ford-street behind her, when there is no duabt they picked her pocket of nurse. nurse, 411 'three eon be idePtiAedi The Resistance, 42, Commander Paley, arrived at Halifax, with troops, from Barbadoes, on the 24th ult.

The Lords of the Admiralty have just issued an order reducing the price of slop-clothing, bedding, &c., issued to the navy, by which seamen may clothe themselves much cheaper and better than by resorting to " Moses and Co." The new scale is as follows:—No. 1 jacket cloth, reduced froni 9s. 6d. to 7s. 3d. per yard; No. 1 trousers cloth, from Bs. 6d. to 6s. 3d. per yard; duck, from 10d. to Bd. per yard; flannel, from Is. to 10d. per yard; blue serge, from ls. to 10d. per yard; flushing, from Bs. 6d. to Bs. per yard ; caps, from ls. 9d. to Is. 4d. each; caps for boat's crews, from ls. 9d. to Is. 6d.. each ; blankets from 6s. 6d. to 6s. each ; shirts from 2s. 3d. to is. 9d. each; hair beds from I Is. 6d. to Bs. 6d. each. The above prices are so much lower than those charged by tke shore slopsellers, and being of the very best quality, with good measure, the sailors will no onger be compelled to have recourse to the Jew slop sellers for an outfit. A tremendous gale has been blowing all night from the W.S.W., which still continues. It is much feared considerable damage has been done to the merchant shipping in the Channel. This morn ing, between eight and nine o'clock, guns were distinctly heard in a westerly direction, which appeared to proceed from a ship in distress. About eleven o'clock the Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Pretyman, got her steam up, and proceeded in the direction of the Sound; she was followed, in about an hour, by the Echo steam-tug, dispatched to render assist ance; a thick fog prevailed, which prevented objects on the other side of Fort Monckton from being discernible, and as neither of the steamers had returned up to the time the train left (half-past 4), the cause of the signals being fired could not be ascertained.

The addition this vessel had to her keel lately has much improved her capabilities as a sea-boat. The Lightning steamer, Petley master, called in on Friday with supernumeraries from the river rendezvous. The Alarm, 26, is ready for launching, which is ex pected to take place the first week in April. She is now being painted.

Tho Queen, 110, has been supplied with a new mizen mast, her former one having been found defective. She will be ready to go out of dock next spring tides. The Apollo, troop-ship, Commander W. Radcliffe, has embarked her marines, and is progressing in her fittings for sea. Mr. G. Baker, of London, who has taken the contract for re-forming and building additional slips, and other wise enlarging Chatham yard, at a cost of 102,0001., of which 45,0001. is to be expended in the course of the pre sent year, commenced the undertaking last week by driving a number of piles with steam engines. Another set of workmen have also commenced forming the groin on the opposite shore, and clearing the mud from th• harbour.
