Woorawtcn DOCKYARD. —On'Sunclay the thaw caused
the water to break into the new dock at the west end of
the yard contracted for by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and
covered the bottom to the depth of several feet. The
inlet having been stopped, and the powerful steam-engine
being constantly kept at work night and day, the water
has been reduced to such a small quantity than it is ex-
pected the workmen will be able to commence opera-
tions again immediately. About 100 feet in length and
the full breadth have been alresdy laid, with the mas-
sive stones used for the bottom, three feet six inches in
thickness, and many of them several tons in weight :
they have a most substantial appearance. Workmen
have commenced operations betwixt the mast-yard
and the new factory so as to admits vessels being
brought quite c!ose to the building when they are
to be fitted with their ;engines and ironwork. About
150 men were taken on within the last few weeks at the
factory, and the iron foundry is now in constant operation.
The foundry completed is only capable of casting about sib
tons of metal at one time ; but a large piece of ground
has been purchased by the Admiralty at the south side of
the present buildings, on which it is intended to construct
a foundry of considerable dimensions, and capable of cast-
ing 15 tons of metal at one time. It is even said that an
indefinite order has been given for the extension and im-
provement of this dockyard. The late change in the
weather has been the cause of a piece of the wooden pave-
ment laid under an archway at the factory, and exposed to
the atmosphere, to rise in the form of a cupola to a height
of nearly two feet, and part of it has fallen in, presenting ,
a singular appearance.
