Doers Itgrooz HARBOUR.—Thin great work,
which, when projected, was viewed by some es a Quixotic
attempt, and by *then, as an altogether impossible achieve-
ment, has ever been regarded by us with deep interest. We
have carefully noted its progress, and on more than one ocea.
don have recorded our opinion, in deservedly eulogistic
terms, upon the talent and energy displayed by those to whom
its management has been entrusted; and we feel soured,
moreover, that our townsmen generally partake
largely of our satisfaction, in witnessing the rapid and
sheen uninterrupted advance of the undertaking! lo-
wards that consummation which will render our port
*sensible at all hour and seasons, drspite the proverbial
fleklenas of the elements. Since our last visit, much has
been done by the aid of diving balls and the other mechanical
appliances which inventive genius is constantly *Ong into
existence. The surface of the rock has been levelled to the
extent of 200 teat—immense muses of material securely
embedded upon it—and, in fact, the masonry brought up to
low water mark (neap tides), making the total length 450
feet ; and should the weather prove propitious, the ensuing
two months will place at least 420 feet in a fit state to receive
the upper coping. In that ease, the aggregate amount of
material dressed and set within a space of 19 mouths will be
380,000 cubic feet I The late gale, we an happy to state, ef-
fected no damage to the works; and we imagine that those who
entntained doubts of its completion within a reasonable
time, must en this have lost their scepticism; and that
they will not sow temple to admit that man, if he cannot
control the swelling waves, may at least (by the aid of those
faculties with which his Creator has endowed him) erect a
structure which shall resist their fury, and remain as a mo-
nument for future ages to admire. Even now the Dover Re-
fuge Harbour Wads food for meditation. Is it nos a proof
of advanced civilisation when we reflect that, instead of bury.
