tions, in considering nothing but leer own interests in
her relation with the Turkish empire." It, is not
easy, therefore, to over estimate the good ser►ice
which has been done to the cause of the world's free-
dom by the Sublime Porte, which has now identi-
fled itself with that cause, and entitled itself to the
strongest expressions of our sympathy, and gratitude.
With regard to any difficulties which the Turkish
Government may experience in consequence of its
declaration in favour of freedom, we believe there i 3
no reason to doubt that Austria, aided by Russia
and Prussia, will employ all the influence it pos-
sesses in every way to annoy and oppress Turkey,
for the part it has taken. Bat, we beg to esk,
what will be the course taken by England, America,
and France, in relatio❑ to any difficulties to
which Turkey may be hereafter exposed in
consequence of the courage it has dared to
exercise ? We believe there will he no difficulty in
speaking of the policy of England end America.
France, under a Republican form of Government,
with a President who has shown his sympathy with
the cause of oppression, is for the present blotted out
of the list of free countries. Cheated out of the ad-
vantages for which she effected her last revolution,
she is bound hand and foot; and whenever patriots
are struggling for freedom, must confess her inability
to help them. She may yet see better days, and
attain the blessings for which her seas have fought
and bled. England and America would, however, go
hand in hand in compelling all tyrants, who would
try to punish Turkey for doing its duty, to desist
from the dastardly act. Let it not be forgotten that
all Austrians, all Russians, would not be found ready
to take part against the liberators of Kossuth. There•
are millions in those countries who are panting for
freedom, and waiting for the hour when they can
weaken the hands and destroy the power of the
wretched beings whose downfall is not far distant,
and will be celebrated with raptures by all who are
not paid for sustaining the cause of the tyrant.

THE .11 OLYHEAD IJARBOUR WORKS.
There are some who entertain the belief that when
the Holyhead harbour works are completed, one-half
of the trade of Liverpool will be abstracted, and find
a location there. But herein the wish is parent to the
thought. Rightly viewed, Holyhead will become im-
portant, but it will never be a rival to Liverpool. The
true position of this harbour will be to become an ap-
pendage to, and ass extension of, the port of Liverpool.
The interests of the two places are common, and in
our prosperity Holyhead must fine its vitality. We
do not look upon Holyhead as a rival and en enemy,
but as an adjunct and a friend. To a certain extent
indeed it is possible for Holyhead to become a port of
export and import. There are those things which can
be sent abroad from thence, such as coals, slates, fire-
bricks, and other Welsh products. And it may also,
to a limited extent, become a place of imports. Some
patriotic Welshmen may be found willing to import a
few cargoes of West Indian produce annually for the
use of the inhabitants of the Principality generally,
and for the furtherance of their own interests particu-
larly, but we do not believe that there is a prospect of
Holyhead becoming a commercial community. Imports
and exports, as a general rule, must find their locality in
the place of business; that place is Liverpool. And it is
not likely that the cotton, sugar, tea, timber, and other
commodities imported into this port will be sent into
a harbour a hundred miles from the place of consump-
tion. Holyhead will no more take the trade of
Liverpool than Ramsgate or Gravesend take the trade
of London. To the end of the journey the bulk of
the trade mast come, though there are overflowings of
the cup which can be spared, and which Holyhead
will take. The principal advantage which Holyhead
will derive from the new harbour, as appears to us,
will be as a place of embarkation for Ireland. The
Chester and Holyhead Railway Company are using
their utmost endeavours to generate an Irish trade,
and this, in conjunction with the City of Dublin
Company, who now work with them, will certainly
prove successful. The railway company are erecting
a large and commodious station at Holyhead for the
general traffic, and they are also using due endeavours
to embark their passengers from the rail to the
steamers with the greatest expedition. There is an-
other feature in their management to be commended
as prudential, and that relates to the arrangement they
have made with Irish railways to carry passengers to
the end of their journeys to the principal Irish towns
and back at reduced fares. It may also be observed
that there is an apparent improvement in the general
traffic of the line which justifies the cheerful view taken
by the chairman of it at the recent meeting. The
directors are acting wisely in regard to traffic. They
find that it will not come of itself, and therefore they
have set themselves to work to encourage its flow
along their line. S 3 far their efforts have been satis-
factory, and there can be no doubt that in a few years
this will become an important line as relates to that
traffic which is essentially its own, and which will
increase in proportion as it is cultivated. But the
chief value of the new harbour works will be, that
they will afford shelter to weather-driven vessels.
And though we believe that Holyhead is not the best
site which might have been chosen for the harbour,
we are not insensible to the fact that, as a harbour of
refuge, it will be of great value to shipping of this
port. Some benefit has been derived from the works
even in their present imperfect state, as nearly 400
vessels have taken shelter under the breakwater since
March last. Several plans were proposed for the new
harbour by different engineers. J. Walker, Esq.,
C.E. to the Admiralty, proposed a plan which was to
enclose an area of ninety acres, with 3,300 feet of
breakwater and 2,500 feet of pier, at an expense of
400,0001. Captain Beechy, R.N., proposed to en-
close 176 acres, with 4,500 feet of break water and
3,500 feet of pier, at an expense of 550,000/. ; and
Mr. Rendell, whose plan has been adopted, proposes
to make a breakwater of 5,000 feet from Soldiers'
Point eastward, to terminate at the Platters' buoy,
and a pier of 2,000 feet from Yns Gybi (Salt Island),
with its head resting on the outer Platter, enclosing
an area of 316 acres, three-quarters of a mile long,
and in 6i fathoms water; the cost of the' works to be
700,0001. The works are carried on under the
superintendence of George C. Dobson, Esq., resident
engineer, and the contract for the breakwater, which
is all that has been issued, has been taken by Messrs.
J. and C. Rigby, the eminent contractors, of London.
The works were commenced in January, 1848, and
they have been going on since then as rapidly as it
was possible to proceed. Twelve months were occu-
pied in laying down rails to the quarries, !meeting
stages, and making other necessary preparations for
the works ; since which time an average of 1,100 men
have been employed on the undertaking. The broad
gauge:has been used for 'the railway, by which means
the contractors are enabled to bring larger pieces of
stone than the narrow gauge could accommodate.
There are two quarries used, one called the Moelfra
Quarry, from which limestone is procured, and the
other, quarry is, in fact, the Holyhead Mountain, from
the sides of which the materials for the work are
taken. There are three lines of rails from the quar-
ries to the works, and as many locomotive engines to
draw the waggons. There is also a fixed engine for
grinding, &c., and the stores embrace all things re-
quisite for conducting the work in a self-supporting
manner.
The works may be described as consisting of two
breakwaters, one to the north and the other to the
east. The east breakwater, which is the smaller
portion of the work, has been commenced, but very
little has been done upon it. So far attention has
been directed chiefly to the north breakwater, which
is not only the largest undertaking in point of mag-
nitude, but it is the most important portion of the
works, as it will have to sustain the action of the sea.
It is to this breakwater the three lines of rails of
which we have spoken run. The quarries are within
half a mile of the works, and here the greatest num-
, ber of the workmen are employed. These quarries
are perhaps the most extensive in the country, and it
is not an hypothesis to say that in no quarries existent
is work of such magnitude and rapidity carried on.
Holyhead mountain, which affords the source of sup-
ply, consists of schistus quartz of so hard a nature
that the tools of the workmen will scarcely touch it,
and its edges will cut glass. The quarrying began
with the foot of the mountain slope, and it has pro-
gressed into the hill until an elevation of 120 feet
perpendicular has been attained. The scene at the
quarries exhibits one of the most active pieces of in-
dustry, from the width of the workings and the
number of labourers employed. To cut into so
hard a rock the contractors have to adopt the pro-
cess of blasting, which is carried on upon a magnitude
which has never been equalled. To penetrate the
rock, sets of workmen in twos are employed on diffe-
rent parts of. the face of the mountain, and these men
make a hole into the rock about 5 feet high and 3 feet
wide for athstance of 30 or 40 feet, which is accom-
plished chiefly by blasting. In the extremity of this
hole, which runs first horizontally and then perpen-
dicularly, the powder is placed in a wood case, and
the hole being tamped up, it is fired by the galvanic
battery. The charges vary from two to four tons of
gunpowder, according to the face of rock to be acted
upon, and the quantity thrown down varies from six to
thirty thousand tons in an explosion. The effects of
the explosion on the rock are sometimes of a curious
character, but, generally speaking, the rock when
thrown down leaves the surface of the cliff smooth
and perpendicular. The stones thrown out of the cliff
are generally large,' Oily Of them weighing 20 tons.

[PRICE SD.

The quantity of stone taken from the 'quarries is
accurately weighed, and already upwards of a million
tons of stone have been buried in the sea. It may
be scid that the energies of the contractors during the
past three years have been directed almost exclu-
sively to the north breakwater ; and what they have
been doing with all their appliances has been 'to
form a foreshore with the deposits thr,iwn into the
sea. The works now extend about 2;800 feet sea-
w4rd, and they will hive to be carried out as far
again. The contractors extend their operations about
20 feet a week on an average. The mode of opera-
tions is as follows :—The stones brought from the
quarries are run down the three lines of rails of which
we have spoken, which are continued over the works
gs, and the waggons
that the contents of them are tilted, so
on timber bearin
are deposited on the sub-
stratum below. The waggons run at an elevation of
about 20 feet above high water mark. The deposit
or "foreshore," as it is technically term: d, consists
then of the workings of the quarry deposited in the
sea. The upper surface of this deposit is about 150
feet wide. The depth of the sea is which it is thrown
varies from 30 to 50 feet at low water. The width of
the deposit at the base is eventually to be about 600
slopebreakwater on which
upwards to about
eakwater
feetsfeoete andill
summitof gradually
th
the
the stone pier will be built. How, then, is the slope
on thisthe w
to be accomplished ? As follows :-....mr, have said
that there are three lines of rails of an aggregate
width of 150 feet, between each of which the mate-
rials are thrown, so that the summits of the deposited
stones look like three ridges of rocks. The work
under the water is done, as the workmen -say, by
" Old Davy. We find the materials, and _le mak es
the foundation." The inner or harbour side
thatde blithe
breakwater is not worked upon, as it is desirable
that side of the works should be as straight as possible,
and, therefore the efforts of the workmen are directed
to the sea-side of the works. The stones, as we have
stated, are thrown into ridges, which, to a certain
extent, subside by their own weight. But, after all
the sea is the great workman. When a heavy sea
comes on it breaks over the ridges, and gradually
lowers them, carrying away ridge after ridge, unti
that which was far above the water is completely
submerged. And this process will go on until
the deposits shall have formed a plane sufficiently
inclined to sustain the breaking of the sea with-
out removal. The wall or pier will then be built upon
the breakwater, and the works will be brought to
a close. The form assumed by the deposits is accu-
rately and frequently ascertained by soundings, so
that the managers of the work have a pretty correct
idea of the progress of their undertaking. The width
of the base is now about 400 feet, so that the deposits
will have to be much extended sideways. The con-
tractors have therefore two objects—first, to run the
embankment out in a direct line, and then to fill up
the materials to increase the width. The works go on
uniformly both in winter and:summer,ithe only differ-
ence being that they cannot be continued at the ex-
treme end of the embankment during storms ; but
this does not by any means retard the progress of the
work. When the work will be finished is a wide
question. For certain purposes, such as shelter, the
harbour will become progressively available; but as a
finished work, we should judge that seven years would
not complete it. A small portion of the permanent
wall has been erected near to Soldiers' Point, which
is of beautiful workmanship ; but the remaining por-
tions of the wall cannot be touched for some months
to come.—Liverpool Courier.
