THE WATERMEN'S PIER, GREENWICH.--The war in
respect to the Watermen's Pier, at Greenwich, appears likely
to be carriell'on with great spirit, as, although on Tuesday
evening, and yesterday morning, the embarkation was
effected at a gangway a few yards above Garden-stairs, yet
at high water yesterday, directions having been previously
sent from head-quarters, the men in the employ of the
Watermen's Company brought back from the middle of the
stream the dumb lighters which formed the old floating pier
at Garden-stairs, and, placing them in their original position,
at five o'clock the gangways were in combination with the
stairs, and passengers were embarking and re-embarking as
usual. Several of the inhabitants of Greenwich have taken
up the cause, and a requisition on the subject having been
pre.,ented to the lligh Constable, he has convened a borough
meeting to consider the matter, which is to be held in OA
Lecture-hall this evening.
It is said that the embankment Wrea, near Carlisle,
on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, is from seventy to
eighty feet in height. There have from time to time been
several clippings on this embankment, in consequence of
which it has lately been upheld by a sub: t antic] wooden frame-
work ; but it is yet in so unsatisfactory a state that the pro-
priety Of having the whole of the framing moresecarely fixed
previoo.s to the opening of the railway has been recommendol
by a contemporary to the notice of the directors.— Cumbet.
