THE PROPOIGID FORTH AT PLTMOUTH.—The
*fouodation" stoned the great fort on Staddon Heights,
which is to be the chief work in the south-eastern defences
of Plymouth, wee laid on Thursday by Mrs. Owen, wife of
Colonel Gwen, C. 8., commanding engineer of the district.
It was expected that some of the celebrities known to be in
Plymouth would have been present. The visitors, there-
fore, bore in patience the delay of an hour and a half
beyond the appointed time, in the hope of seeing
one of the three Cabinet ministers or Dome of the
Lords of the Admiralty who were in the neigh-
bourhood. Thin expectation was doomed to be di.-
appointed. The ministers and the lords aforesaid seemingly
had other work to do. The fort itself in at prevent of cowls
in a very rudimentary state, and only penciled eyes could
trace the proposed bus of this and the other works, the
completion of which he must be indeed a Gauguin° man who
upects to witness. Perchance, before our own span of life
is pained, we shall hem that the ruined keep on yonder
hifi wee built by Lord Pahnenton to keep off General
Buremparte, by way of el to the tradition which pre-
vails in the regional the that Mount Batten Fort
wee built by Oliver Cromwell when be fought spinet
gown Amos. —Memo% Iforniee NOBS.
