MILFORD HAVEN AND EMIGRATION.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
NILIPORD RAVEN, Barr. 9.
A demonstration of great Intermit and importanoe
to the inhabitants of the districts as either ride of Milford
Haven took place yesterday at the Victoria Hotel, Pembroke
Dock. This demonatration had for its object to direct public
attention, and more especially the attention of the ootninerclal
and trading community, to the great natural advantages
which Milford Haven pommel se a shipping port ; and, se
connected therewith, to pay a mark of respect to Marro.
Pearson and Coleman, the istumbire shipping owners of
Roll, whose screw steam-vessei, the Prins Alfred, is now
moored alongside of the Pontoon, at the Nryland terminus
of the South Wales Railway, for the purpose of coaling and

embarking emignsts for Melbourne, Bider y, and NewZsa•
lead. After lending her passengers, the Prime Alfred is
Intended to convey meals and passengers between Sydney and
New Zealand, for which Messrs. Pearson end Coleman have
a contract with government. This is the second vessel
which the same first have despatched from Milfold Haven.

Isaleed. It wadi sew from thin 'election of Milford
es the Muting OM d their wooed vowel, that the owners
are perfectly sseWd via the advantages which it presents
_ . .

es an outport for the Australian train.
Milford Haven stands at the entrance of the Irish and
Bristol Channels. It opens fully on the broad Atlantic, and
Bee in the trick generally pursued by homeward and outward
bound ships trading between Liverpool and New York.
The entrance to the heehaw is nearly dm south. From the
month of the Haves, ixtiadime between St. Ann's Heed, on
the west, to Sheep Island on the met, the width is 211
which narrows to If mile at the narrowest point between
the east and west Blockhouses. It is econsible from Hull
through the Midland Counties by Derby, Birmingham, and
Oloucester ; from Mendicant, through Crewe, Clawing,
sad the Shrewsbury, Hereford, and Abergavenny Railway ;
and from London by the South Wales Ulm the tandem of
which is at Reyna, when there is in all Mates of the tide
a sufficient depth of water to float the largest vends. A
glance at • map must at once enable any one to recognise the
value of a wife and commodious harbour at the south-western
extremity of Wens. The want of dock accommodation, and
the distance at Milford, previeus to the introduction of
railways, from the centres of manufacturing Industry, caused
its gnat natural edwanges for ooeunercial purposes to be
altogether neglected, except es a plan of refuge during teen-
perituous weather in the ChenneL Ths eminence which
Bristol once occupied amongst the controwcial ports of Greet
Britain is the strongest evidence that large sad commodious
shipping accommodation in the mouth-west it the island
le a reel end mot a Seditious want. Bat Bristol was not able
to withsteed the angora entities of its keg, narrow,
fennel-shaped entrance,combined with the gawping and
monopolking policy of its ancient corporation, and its trade
in consequence was diverted to the Mersey. The rise and
progress of Liverpool, In spite of many natural diordven-
times, shows the masittmaiss of commerce, and that it will
rather force the bnpeditsents of satire than succumb to the
artificial restraints of man. The otenplaints from Man-
chester, se the representative of the manufacturing interest,
ageinat thence' and lighting does of Liverpool, show again

sperity to become selfish and exacting, and have encouraged
