as yet decided respecting the site of the College, although

dune by the people lif Wey ~,,, uth in furtherance if their
interests. It is generally wlinitted by naval men that the
heads of the proposed college would prefer that the cabal.
Bailment should be within an easy distance of London ; in
this respect Portsmouth may have slightly the preference
over Poole. but Poole is nearer London than %Ccyinii.ith
or Itartmontli. There are very many other considerations
I besides that of distance from the metropolis, and no
I doubt the capabilities of this locality are as great, if not
very much greater than those of any other place.-Pools

Tilt lIARIIOUR.- The iloverninent. it SOCHI., make a
certain number of grants yearly in aid of the improvement
of columercial harbours. allot we are now looking to "the
powers that be" for help in making this harbour not only
of more cotnniereial advantage but available for purp..os
of refuge. The Treasury have included the harbour of
Anlglass, county Down, Incland, in the three next loarboon;

grant being that three-fourths .4 the amount required
for the construction of the harbour, viz.. g.:15,0111, are to
be given by the Treastiryon condition that the remain-
ing feurth-L5,01/0--is "rebel from kcal sources."
Now, as Ards:lass, iII say the look is not more important
than Poole, why should wit we get help to deepen the
entrance to our harbour on the same terms? The ti.nst fur
• harbour of refuge between Portland and the Isle of
1 Wight is acknowksiged ; and there is little doubt that if
a elililliAT grant were made to INmle IL, iS Vi he made to

Iconsidered one of great imnortanee. The 11;over ttttt ent

and county influence that ran he olitained hrutliait hi bear
