MR. TELFORD'S REPORT.
Bangor Fer►y, February 10, 1021.
&a—Agreeably to your directions, I procecird to mei
examined the works ■t the harbour of Datum e. The.
have now bees carried to a very considerable went, sad
into upwards of thirty feet depth of water, at low water ..1'
ordinary spring tides; they have been performed in a manner
which pikes equal credit on tho►e who pistolled, and those
who conducted and more immediately superintended the
sundry operations. The performances, by means of the im-
proved diving machine, contrived by the able engineer, Mr.
N immo, will be au excellent model for similar workr where
• great depth of water is required, or where rucks are to be
removed tinder water.

The resident manager, Mr. has, by sagacious eon.
duct and euresnitted taertioos out ouly pushed on the wosk•
generally with regularity sod dispatch, but has brought the
distieg bell operations, in great depths, to a degree of am,
plicity, safely, sad celerity, which is easterly credible; she
workmen actually preferriug 'lse* to the works ss.ove high
water mark. All that relates to payments sad pecuniary
concerns has been equally well conducted by Mr. Robert
Grubb, under she direction of the Geneva' Pust.office.

Bet having sow not only provides' effectual protection and
accommodation for the packets, but also fur slie revenue and
trading vessel. of great draft of water ; cad as any further
extension. is so great a depth of water, with occasional later-
ruptions from violent storms, would be attended silk much
trouble and expense; I iberefure recommend that the 'mei.
neer be directed to sake the necessary measures to coMplete
Ike works now on band, with sill practicable dispatch, and
without attemptisg any further extension

A,lthough the harbour protection wall be very complete
the accommodation for passengers, after landing, will ',ill
he imperfect, until a comfortable inn or hotel has been
eonstrueted near the landing-plice; and for such an
establishment there is ample space on the cleared ground on
the north side of the high ridge of rock, which forma
desirable protection, nut only to .bat apace but to the
harbour itself.

I cannot close this Report without stating that when the
works have been completed as here recommended, • very
valuable station will have been acquired in a very important
point of the coast; •nd this, whether we regard the purl of
Waterford, and the fertile districts to the north and wart
of It, the occasional protection to the revenue cruiser.,
and general cusotin traders, or to the connexion with
the south western parts of England. The Rreollllllll.
dation will also be sufficiently extrusive far all that eau he
at present contemplated ; and if increased prosperity re-
quires more, the present ternsinatioa offers no obstruction
to extending the works to meet the greatest possible derninude.
