HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.

The following are the material portions of the Report
(just printed) from the Commons' Select Committee on
the Holyhead Harbour Bill. The importance of this
really national work imparts much interest to the docu-
ment :
The Committee will not offer any opinion to the
House as to the expediency or inexpediency of the ar-
rangement made with the Chester and Holyhead Rail-
way Company, by the Treasury Minute of the 3d of
April, 1846, in virtue of which that Company has be-
come liable to contribute a sum of money towards the
construction of a national work ; but the Committee
has felt itself bound, in consequence of that arrangment,
to investigate very closely the clauses in the Chester and
Holyhead Railway Bill, though not directly referred to
it, by which the Treasury Minute is to be carried out ;
and it is now in a position to state that, while the agree-
ment with the Company has been preserved in its in-
tegrity, the regulations laid down by the clauses, which
are to be substituted by mutual consent in the Chester
and Holyhead Bill, on the third reading, for the 18th
and 19th clauses, as they now stand, are of such a na-
ture as to guarantee the public against the possibility of
any undue preference or privilege in the use either of
the inner (or packet) harbour, or of what has been
termed the Railway Pier.

The opposition to the Holyhead Harbour Bill appears
to the Committee to have originated in a not unnatural
apprehension upon these points, as well as with regard
to the character of the harbour itself ; all the petitioners
who have appeared before the Committee having ad-
mitted the deiira,bleness of constructing a harbour of
refuge at Holyhead, while they asserted that even if the
harbour were unobjectionable they should be deprived of
the advantages which they were entitled to expect from
it by the privileges which the Railway Company had
acquired. These, however, are limited by the Treasury
minute, and by the Chester and Holyhead Bill (as now
agreed to be amended) to the use of the inner pier, " so
far as it may be required for the purpose of facilitating
their traffic," and to the acquisition of the land at the
base of the pier, " recommended by Mr. Rendel as a
proper site for a railway station," and comprising a
space of about seven acres, with a frontage to the inner
harbour of 1,200 feet.
The Committee does not think this an unreasonable
return for the large outlay to which the Company has
become liable ; but it recommends that another wharf or
wharfs, with good access both by sea and land, should be
constructed at the public expense, which, they believe
will prevent the possibility of undue charges or prefer-
ences as between parties using the Company's wharf.
One objection has been raised, with regard to the want
of a western entrance to the harbour, which the Com-
mittee conceive will be better dealt with as the works
proceed, but for which provision may be made at any
time, without increased expense, should experience prove
it to be desirable.

Under these circumstance, the Committee has unani-
mously agreed to report in favour of the Holyhead Har-
bour Bill.
