Nvo , TIFICATIONS AT MILFORD HAVEN.—The various
s („,r4.21 of defence now in course of erection for the better
fe-ZutY of the haven and dockyard have been pushed
Sever°l.-arc as much as it has been possible during the late
teiie weather. The fort on Thorn Island and the mar-
otitn;tower on the Stack Rock will be completed witli-
t as they are essentially necessary for the due
tleleell,„.;tY of this great inland basin. A short time ago
the "'l°le of the defences were minutely inspected by
Ofenit eers of Ordnance, and plans and surveys taken
1"Y point. The defence at Thorn Island, when
ariilPleted, will be garrisoned with a company of
llerY, and will be mounted with guns of very
bill calibre, which, from its commanding position,
er„ be very effective. A battery is also to be
fe-4!(1 at Dale Point, situated on the north shore
'Lie entrance to the haven, which will open a
e3B8-fire with the other batteries at the mouth. The
rection of several other defences on one or two other
arn?Manding positions is also spoken of. The heavy
far e'7 for the fort at the western side of the
e ti dock-
b.as not yet arrived ; this work is now under the
on of the Admiralty, and is only waiting to be
mounted with heavy guns to be an effective protection.
''_',?Etensive alterations have been made, the embrasures
ZlElened, and necessary repairs effected, prior to the
`unneting of 32 pounders in lieu of the old 24-pounders ;
and th
e new metal is to be mounted upon traversing
11,-1, ages, and 8-ineh guns are to be placed at the angles.
the - new guns are expeeted almost daily. It is said that
Western defences will be extended as far as Carr's
06Q3, ,which would add much to the security of the
elVard.
