that •.the present operations, consisting Of a massive
stone pier extending about 800 feet from the shore, and
having about 30 feet of water at low water ordinary
tides,, terminate the present undertaking ; that this
beautiful monument of " engineering skill and a
petioles resources" is distinct, complete, and indepen-
dent in itself, giving those facilities so earnestly
required at that port, which must ever form the main
connecting link between our native land and the

Ogantic scheme originally projected, but such, we

required, whilst the work will be of great national
utility, although he thinketh not.

I have the honour to be, Sir, yours,
