GALWAY HARBOCR.—A report has been made by
Captains Washington and Vitch, and Mr. Barry Gibbons,
as to the capabilities of the harbour of Gainey. They eat
odder that for the parpmee of a harbour of refuge nature ham
done all that to required, but with a view of facilitating em-
barkation of pateengers, made, and goods, they propose va-
rious engineering works. That on the sandleat scale COIIIiilt•
merely of a landing jetty, and the retnoval of a swell ledge of
rock ; but If it should be decided to make Galway a puma-
nest mail-packet notion, they prorate either to erectear
to extend in a senth•casterly direction fry the south of
Mutton island, about 800 yards, into a derth of from fire to
six fathoms at low water of spring tides, which would cost
altogether about 300,0001.0 r insterutof can ying out the chief
weeks into deep water, to bring a low-watt r channel up to
the existing harbour and dock,
_the cost of which sheet°
would probably be about 150,0001. The third plan that has
been prepared consists of a pier about 400 yanisimr, extend-
ing from the south end of Mutton Island, the inner portion of
it:being bath on opt n pile., eo se to allow the sea and tide to
pus through. This detigc• including the necessary docks,
would mond 300,0001.
