LOW Dp N KS.

We lately gave some actiount of an .establish-
Ment of this kind, for. the promotion of the most
important branch of our Trans. Atlantic trade, and
we feel pleasure in futnishitig further. details of a
similar kind, under execution in this great metto.
polls,
In our view of the West India Docks we divid-
ed
the'subjea Into-four distind branches.-1. The
Roads :_ 2. The Buildings The Locks and 84.
sins : 4. The Contrivances for Interior Manage.
meat. On the first And the lasi particulars -respell.
ing the London 'Docks we have nothing to offer.
The description we have already given at the roads
to the West India Docks, will explain as much as
is necessary of the communication with the sister
establishment ; and the interior regulations and
expedients for traffic and convenience .can
,be no
suhjed of observation until the undertaking be
applied to the purposes for which it is intended.
The whole of the ground now occupied comprises
about eighty acres, to which an addition of Space
will he added, both on the east and west aide,
for purposes we shall explain when we advert to
the locks rind basins fur the accoMmodation of the
shipping.
The buildings not being so lofty as those on the
ache. of the West Indi t Docks, have not the same
degree of magnificence ; and the exterior wall to
the north, which is substituted for the fosae.para.
vet anti palisadoes, produces the same •disadvan.
tageous died ; but any detriment of a fancifirl
kind, is amply compensated by the additional se-
midry acquired by a fence of this description' in
that part of the suburbs of the capital most expos-
ed to depredation. The wall is thirty, feet. in
height, with ornamented
,abutments. The prin,
cipal warehouses consist of four. distina struUures,
and have as many floors above the very spacious
and commodious ,cellars. In the latter, Lthe props
are of atone ; in. the former, the columns are of
timber, with capitals expanded, to prevent the
• depression of the superior beams. The whole range
of -these warehouses is upors one uniform plan ;
. each floor comprises four large apartments, pro.
vided with double iron doors, and the ascent
to them is by tw'o stone staircases with iron
railings, at each extreiniay of the building. These
edifices are of bridt, excepting.the baemenr, which
is of stone rusticated, rising to the height of the
cellar doors.

To the rim is a succesion of ground warehouses,
construdcd in the most suitable manner for the re-
ception olpoiß:erons goods, and both these, arid the
Remise& we have just described to the north, are
provided in front with sheds of titillate covered
with copperplates, for tilt" temporary reception of
goods from the q'tsayi intended to be housed, or
for those designed for embarkation. The floors of'
the sheds, and the adjacent ground, 'are paved, and
have channels of. plate iron, to prevent onneces.
airy ftidiorr in the removal of the property. To
these chancels, fur the bathe purpose, trucks on a
particular construdiim are accommodated ; and
what we believe it peculiar :to these roads, at
every change of the direetion between two inter.
sated ehatinels, a species of iron bar is contrived
to move on a hinge, so as to prevent the wheels of
the machine ftom prnjeding beyoad the limit in..
teoded for their reception. While we ate noticing
the area for the passage of the goods, we should
not omit generally to say, that every possible dr.
title capable of , promoting convenience and durdhi.
lity is consulted. Twelve,crane rooms, for the re.
ception of those mechanical engines, will be inelod.
cd in the range of edifices, for the
,purposes of the
sb,iplitasg on the north side ; seven wily. are at pre.
se)st 'completed, and they are ;provided wish pro.
jelling roofings to keep them pettedly dry.—
The circular perpendicular crane, which has been
found so. eligible on the Custom.house Quip, is
also adopted throughout these premises with very
few exceptions. Potts, which support the, cover.
ins. of the landing places, are armed at the base
with nails, and are chaired to preserve them from
damage by fridion, or by the more slow, yet opt
less certain injury Irons subterranean humidity.
The west and 'south sides, at present, have no
buildings, excepting an elegant tlevatiou for a
steam.engine, neatly at the southern extremity of
the ground approaching the river Thames.' This
is the most bedwitul specimen of the most uNefol
contrivance of modern ingenuity. No drawing.
room in a family of fashion and consequence, anti
no furniture (or the supply c,l the table of the
curt, is cleansed with greater care, or preserved
with snore curious and delicate attention than this
valuable machine.

, . .
We shall, close our account with a brief descrip.
floss of the' locks and basins. The. distance from
the river to the northern extremity may ba stated
at about, four furlongs, and the proportion of the
works in this extent is regulated by the peculiar
form of the banks,of the river in this sittiatinm, and
by the unavoida'hie encroachments of tlic adjiieent
suburbs. The navigable entrance front the.noutlr
in narrow ; the grounds and the flocks grailuall'Y
pawl, until the eye dwells upon that extennive area
occupied by the principal dock and by
,the superb
i'llifices 011 us shores. The water is first admitted

•
at two massive flood-gates ; the next interruption
to the progress of the ship from the river is front.

princiial street of Wapping intirtedeti- by ibis
channel. This bridge moves on pivots ,Vrith.

ro the entrance of the vessel into the Outer basin,
which, like the principal mervoirs is about fifteen

yards in depth, and the firmer is aboot one.fiftli
of the dimensions of the Matter, comprehending
nearly, five acres. This dick is of stone, supported
and conneaed by piles of wood, with transverse
beams of great strength; in the interval betwecn
the inner anti exterior , beam is a lock with Amid,.

gates, about fifty,two yards in, length,, which corn.
Inunicates directly with' the great dock,,coml,nbing
an expansive parallel logrom ul twenty-four acres.
In an undertaking contluCted with 40 much ability,.
And supported by so much wealth, it is ahnnst tun.

VerlienCe an I seetitify is 'attended to, Ey the as.
sistance of capstans ant other mechanical expe.
clients. thequndercus gates. .are opened with the
case of the door of a private ;bomber ; and the
periodical inundations of the equinox are re,
pelted by . the ingenuity ut , the It
has not been thought necessary to inclose with
stone the large reservoir, which is, therefore;
of brick, but secured with tiintier, in the faun we
have described in the external basin. It is sup-
posed, that this grand receptacle wilt not be, suf.
ficient to comprise. within its, margin the shipping
of the establishment ; a piece of grot!nd,' therefore,
at the south-western extremity, and another on
the eastern side of this dnck, have been marked out
fin the formation ,of additional basins. In the
former, the 'ground has not yet been, broken, and
it is at present indeed occupied by, lime,kilns, and
other buildings for the mulrifarious operations of
this vast .projeti ; but in the excavation of the tat.
ter a very considerable. progress-has been made.

A Gentleman at Huddersfield has obtained a
Patent for an invention, by which metal chains are
substituted in lieu of hemp, in the fabrication of
cables, shruuds,-stays, and other articles for'rig.
ging of ships ; the chains to be made of iron ot
copper,..the' links of a short oval form, and very
nearly touching in the,centre of the third, in which
they arc inserted. It is contended, that rigging of
this description would last longer, be lighter, be
less liable to damage in action, and, be easier re.
Paired than that now made of hemp. -
The following method has in two instances been
successful in extracting a, pin tram the throat when.
it has been accidentally swallowed.. The last case
is .vety recent :, A young woman of the name .of
Bryant, a Mantua-maker of Chippenham, front the
improper custom of putting pins into her mouth, last
week swallowed one, which suck in the lower part
of her throat. A professional Gentleman beingcalled
in, he placed the patient with her head bent back
over the back of a chair, an egg was then broken;
and the contents poured down her throat ; previous
to this process, an instrument was prepared, which
is called, professionally, a Probang, but which is no.
thing more than a. piece of sponge fastened to the
end of a smooth and slender piece of whalebosse,'
about half a yard long : this instrument, in the mo.
tent that the patient endeavoured to kn./allow the
contents of the afore.mentioned egg,was forced with
a quick steady hand da.wn the throat into the sta.
mach, and it brought up the pin sticking. in the
sponge.
