was crossed and re-crossed, when, taking to the road for
about a mile and a half, the stag again took to the fields
a little beyond the village of Finglas, still far ahead of
the hounds, between whom and even the foremost horse-
men there was an interval commensurate with the split-
ting pace which had been uninterruptedly maintained
from the start. As the hounds creased the high lands
to the west of Finglas, a winnowing-sheet would have
covered the entire pack. Here the stag passed through
some demesnes, crossed the Tolka river, made direct
for Dublin, passed along the Circular-road, distanced
her pursuers, and finally took shelter in the famed loca-
lity of " Stoneybatter," thus strangely terminating one
of the most severe, though not of the longest, runs of
the season, and, as we submit, entitling the Ward Hunt
to arbitrate between the belligerent inhabitants as to
1 what name Stoneybatter shall henceforth enjoy.

LOWESTOFT ICARBOUR.
REPORT OF THE FMB BOUR MASTER.
Lowestoft Hari ,our, Nov. 28, 1851.
Sir,—Herewith I enclose a copy of our Shipping
Report for this week, and beg leave particularly to
call your attention to the inert using advantage taken
of this port as a harbour of ref, age by vessels damaged
or disabled, by loss of anchors or spars, from either
proceeding on their voyage or xemaining in the road-
stead.
The completion of the out er' works and entrance of
our harbour, and the deepening of the water space
inside have afforded so safe end easy an access at all
times of tide, that a very large and increasing number of
vessels now avail themselves of it as a place of security
and shelter from contrary gates, or as a safe retreat

when in distress.
Already the number of yeas els seeking refuge here
is considerably beyond the accommodation we are
capable of affording without materially interrupting
the trade and commerce of the port, and this has now
become a subject of very grave consideration, for as
the place becomes better known, and the ease and
facility of access better understood, and last, although
not least, the low rate of dries—our only charge for
vessels being 2d. per ton on the registered tonnage of
the vessel—it will follow, as a matter of course, that
the port will be more frequented, and additional ac-
commodation must be provided.
We have, at this moment, 25.0 sail of vessels in the
inner harbour, the greater pan of which have put in
for refuge ; and mcre than 5C► sail have lost anchors
and cables, or met with other loss or damage. The
harbour is so crowded that it is impossible to get
vessels arriving with cargoes up to the wharves to
discharge; and two large timber-laden vessels had to
remain sever4l days in the outer basin, thereby in-
curring demurrage on the importers ; and, in addi-
tion to this, 20 sail now at anchor in the roads wish
to put in, but for which we have no space, and the
tide flag has been struck to den ote the same.
When we consider that there is no part of the coast
of Great Britain where a haxbour of refuge is so
much required as at this place—that a greater num-
ber of vessels pass the East coast of England than
any place in the world—that the entrance of our
harbour is in the midst of one of the best and most
frequented anchorages on the coast—that many ves-
sels which have found a shelter here (even during the
past week) must inevitably have been lost had there
been no harbour here, and that, even now, we have
not room to accommodate the number of vessels wish-
ing to avail themselves of its shelter, it becomes, as I
have before observed, a subject of very serious con-
aideration.

Take, as an example, the experience of the pas
week. On Friday, the 21st, it was estimated that no
fewer than 700 sail of vessels -were anchored, wind-
bound, in the reeds between Lowestoft and Yar-
mouth; a light air in the morning from the S.W.
tempted the greater part of t'nes vessels anchored in
the South Roads to get under weigh and proceed to
the northward ; about 30 sail also left this harbour
for the same purpose ; not one of these had cleared
Yarmouth Roads before the wind came round again
to the north, and at night it cc me on to blow a furious
gale from the N.N.E ; the consequences may be easily
imagined, and are truly stated in the Yarmouth re-
port annexed. Two vessels foundered at their anchors,
and several were dismasted, be sides a greater number
parted or slipped from their anchors.
The following morning no less than 50 sail of ves-
sels, many of large tonnage, and the greater part
with some loss or damage, put into this harbour,
several with loss of masts or spats, and most with loss
of one or both anchors.
The following night the wind shifted and blew a
gale from the S Unoler these circumstances,
what chance would most of these vessels have had
could they not have got into a harbour here ; light in
ballast, crippled and disabled on a lee-shore, without
anchors and cables ? Why, sir, the greater part must
have been driven on shore and? wrecked.
The harbour being thus invaluably necessary to the
saving of lives and property, it. follows, as a natural
reply, that all that is required is to increase the space
and accommodation inside, in order to render its use-
fulness more complete; and that this can be done at
no very great outlay, I have already explained. But,
however desirable such an increase undoubtedly is, it
is my duty to explain, that to make harbour space for
accommodating vessels for ret uge only at the present
small dues, would net repay the outlay ; nor can it
be expected that a larger aura than 2d. per ton can or
would be paid by vessels for this purpose.
But there are cases, such as that of the Latona,
and several others now in the harbour, where the
vessels have been saved from total wreck by being
brought in here, when 2d. per ton is quite inadequate
to the value of the refuge afforded. It becomes,
therefore, a public question, in which the country is
interested , and I beg to urge upon your serious con-
sideration to take such steps as shall appear best suited
0 meet the difficulty in question.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) W. S. Am:maws, Harbour Master.
S. M. veto, Esq., M.P.
