sag property, it was suMwded ~..tat greater facilities shou!d
be provided for the shelter ro: ahipe obliged to seek a re-
fuge from their °Fee% an•' also for the more speedy ship-
ment of coal, cake, In ,a the other staple products of the
neighbourhood. Ir. consequence of these suggestions the
West Harbour ~.cd Docks were formed, and considering
their advantaTbous position, and the great facilities given
for tht leading and unloading of vessels, they seem ad-
wileably calculated to answer the end which their projec-
tors had in view. The works were commented about
two years ago, and it was the intention of *he directors to
have had them opened in February last; but owing to the
unfavourable ante of the weather, the operations of the
workmen were so impeded, that, notwithstanding the ut-
mat industry and perseverance, it was found impossible to
accomplish that object until Tuesday last. The dock com-
prises an area of about eight acres of water, and has sub-
stantially-built quay walls on every side, and in eases of
danger is calculated to afford a convenient place of shelter
and security for a large number of vessels. The harbour
comprises about fourteen acres of water, and is enclosed by
two bold piers jutting into the sea, t►e whole built in the
most solid and substantial manner. Vessels can always be
afloat in the dock with twenty-three feet of water, if required.
A graving dock has also been commenced.

FOOD RIOTS AT WELLS. OD Tuesday night SOMA
disturbsuices, arising out of the high price of bread, broke
out in the town of Wells. The police being wholly inade-
quate to the suppression of the tumult, the magistrates read
the Riot Act, and called out the Wells troop of the North
Somerset yeomanry cavalry. The authorities were unceas-
ing in their efforts to prevent mon tenons breaches of the
peace,end at length, with the aid of the yeomanry, they suc-
ceeded in dispening the populace. A commercial traveller,
who had incautiously made use of some language which was
thought by the magistrate calculated to encourage the mob,
was taken into custody, and upon examination by the justices
was ordered to find sureties. On Thursday the town was
again tranquil.

Plums or LAND you RAILWAYB.—The affairs of the
Great Northern Railway, and their probable influence on
the prosperity and the peace of Stamford, are, says the
Lincoln Mercury, at this time the sole subject of conversa-
tion in the town. To ascertain who has been to blame for
sending away the line to a distance of four or five miles
from the place, when the Deviation Bill, which is at present
before parliament, was designed for bringing it within the
borough, has been the business of the Stamford Committee
appointed at the Town-hall on Tuesday sennight. A depu-
tation Was sent to London on Friday last, and a 'amid
deputation (consisting of the Mayor, the Town Clerk, and
Mr. C. Lowe) on Monday, with the view of interceding, fire:
with the Marquis of Exeter, and next with the Board of Di-
rectors of the railway,. for a restoration of good understand-
ing between the pulse*, so that the interests of the town
might not be sacrificed by their disagreement as to the terms
on which the noble marquis should be remunerated for the
45 acres of his land (lying between Barnsck and Ryhall)
which would be required for the railway line, and for the
station which it was intended to build near Newstead
toll-bar. AB; he efforts of the deputations, aided as they
were by the unceasing solicitation of Sir John Trollops
fr (who on both occasions accompanied the deputations to Lon-
don), have been unsuccessful. The Marquis of Exeter
demands such a price for his land as the railway directors
declare they have not been required to pay in any other part
of the line, and as their duty to those for whose interest
they act compel them to decline. Whilst the members of
the second deputation were sitting in the railway board-
room on Tuesday evening, the ultimatum of the directors
was dispatched by an express messenger to Lord Exeter at
Ascot races, and the messenger returned to town onWednesday
with his lordship's rejection of the terms. The proposition
was, that the company should pay the Marquis fle years'
purchase of the rental of the land ; and such rental to be
established upon the valuation of competent judges, to be
approved by his lordship, without reference to the compara-
tively low rental at which (for whatever purposes) it may be
at present let. Lord Exeter has refused to abide by the valu-
ation of any other person whatever, and will treat only upon
his own basis (understoodso be 6001. an acre for the land),
which he declares to be not excessive for the great reaiden-
tiny inconvenience and other consequences to which the
bringing of the railway to Stamford must lead. The affair,
therefore, menu now to be without hope

WHITTLEREA.—The Lincoln Mercury says : Some little
stir is making here in consequence of an entertaiament to be
given to the poor upon the arrival of Sir Harry Smith in his
native town, which will take place, it is supposed, a few days
slier the Dirks of Wellington's dinner, on the 18th.
A very severe thunderstorm passed over Whittlesea on
Friday evening last, which unfortunately proved fatal in its
results. Mr. Atkin, farmer, being engaged on his farm
(nearly adjoining the town), was struck by lightning, and
killed almost instantly ; he has left a widow and seven chil-
dren. Another person in the same neighbourhood was se-
riously injured.
