weakness. This line of forts completes, by the position of
Fort Eisen opposite to the left demi-bastion at Hilsea, the
second or middle line of the defences of Portsmouth.
The third or inner circle of defence consists of the lines of
Portsmouth, Pori:seal and Gosport, immediately encircling
the three towns. Portsracrilth lines consist of fl'e bastioned
fronts, with exterior sides, with double flanks and email
ravelins. They mount two 13 -inch fl
two two 68-poun,
ders, 25 8-inch guns, 46 32-pounders, 30 24-pou2ders; 9 12-
pounders, 5 24-pounder carronades, 12 10-inch howitz7s,
and 7 8-inch howitzers. Portsea is defended by four bas-
tioned fronts with exterior tides, ravelins, and tenailles,
mounting 37 24-pounders and 10 8-inch howitzers. Both
lines have wide, deep moats,
l completelyof revetted r
intrace, ma-
sonry and brickwork. Gosportlines are irregula
with a wet ditch, but unrevetted. They mount 47 24-
pounders and 21 8. inch howitzers. In addition are Point
and Blockhouse Ports, at the harbour's mouth, the former
mounting 15 8-inch guns, two 56-pounders, 25 32-pounders,
and 14 18 pounders. Point Battery mounts 20 E-inch
guns.
The lines of Portsmouth and Portsea, although more
perfect in their outline, and stronger in their base and revet-
ments by far than are the new works we have been describ-
ing, will have their greater portion demolished on the com-
pletion of the Hilsea lines and the line from Gomer to-Elson.
w place ag-fpol fort of Further reference to these must be reserved for a future
occasion, as also any lengthened detail of the works at Hurst
Castle and in the Isle of Wight. At Hurst and the Needles
additional works, including a drop redoubt on the edge of
the cliff in front of the old lighthouse, are being rapidly
pushed forward; and at Sandown, the other extremity of
the island, the same energy is being displayed. In the
latter
lieu of the old one in the bay, so well known to visitors to
thisat e
ifotrmhaisdabbeelendfound nioenesesissary,
however, designed,
in
to erect another fort on Brading Down, to command the one
at Sandown; but the extraordinary part of the whole affair
is that the very spot selected on this extensive Down is
where the monument in memory of Lord Yarborough stands,
the removal of which will entail an expense of £600.: ICUs
also been found that the outer lighthouse at Hurst Castle
must be taken down and rebuilt, to make room for an angle
of the new works. The guns now mounted in the South-
west District amount to upwards of 760, the greater number
of which are 10-inch, 68-pounders (solid shot), and 8-inch.
The new works constructing to which we have been refer-
ring, including the marine forts at Spithead, but excluding
the Isle of Wight, will give an addition of about 1,160 guns.
When they are all completed it will take every soldier under
the British Crown to man them, should it ever be attempted
to defend all points at one and the same time.
