MILFORD HAVEN.

A full report on Milford Haven as a commercial
and naval station has just been issued by Mr. Page.
It confirms in every respect the superiority of the
position as regards safety and convenience, and
shows, from the fact of its not having long ago
become the emporium of our western trade the
powerlessness even of the greatest natural advan-
tages to attract traffic from old-established and
routine channels. If the sums wasted by the Great
Western Railway Company had been devoted to
the simplification and cheapening of this route, the
shareholders might have been prosperous, but all
who are now interested in it are cramped by want
of funds and courage, and its development, there-
fore, although certain, must be . gradual. That
there is no haven in Europe more spacious and secure
seems to be generally admitted, and also that it
requires no expenditure of importance to complete
it with every requirement of modern commerce.
The extension of the pier at the town of Milford to
ouch depth of water as would accommodate ocean
steamers is apparently the only work immediately
requisite, the rapid growth of all these conveniences
that mark a rising place being certain to follow. As
a port for passenger and goods traffic to London it
already contrasts well with others both on the score
of time and expense, but there are yet 60 miles of
railway t be made before it can take any part of
the great thro.g from Manchester—namely, 14 from
Carmarthen to'l ndeilo, and 46 from Llandovery
to Knighton. Compa;Td with Galway, Liverpool,
and Southampton, Mr. Pal; a contends that Milford
presents in each case a great saving for passengers
from New York to London. Even ;n point of time
it is 21 hours better than the Galway route, while
reckoning railway fares, and the annoyances of the
short sea passage from Dublin to Holyhead, the
advantages as regards convenience and cost are
much more considerable. Over Southampton the
gain is 11 hours, and over Liverpool 104 hours,
apart from which the several mail companies would
enjoy an economical supply of coal, a free en-
trance, ample depth of water, avoidance of risks in
the Channel, and a saving in light dues. In the
cost of coals, especially, an economy of 7s. 6d. per
ton is claimed for Milford over Southampton, while
it is also stated that the coaling would be effected
at one operation, at the rate of 2,000 tons per day
for one ship. With respect to the capabilities of
the place as a naval establishment, the arguments
are equally strong. In time of war the facility for
a steamer entering a harbour at any state of tide,
and taking in her coal with the least possible de-
lay, is a question of the first importance, and in
this respect Milford is pre-eminent. In its com-
parative safety and capability of defence from these
long-range projectiles which constitute the great
feature of modern warfare, it is alleged likewise to
possess exclusive recommendations. " Pembroke,
10 miles from the sea, would," it is said, " with
fortifications and artillery of the present day at the
entrance of Milford Haven, be rendered quite se-
cure." The possibility of merchant ships being
shelled in the harbour is also far less than in the
instances of Portland, Holyhead, and Dover. Thus,
although the sums expended, or to be expended,
on English harbours of refuge according to the
estimates commenced in 1847 reach an aggregate
of £5,501,125, Milford Haven, which contains as
great an area of deep anchorage at low water as
the aggregate of Plymouth, Portland, and Holy-
head, will, it is asserted, unaided by improvements
still stand out far superior to them all. Certainly,
the comparative neglect in which it has been al-
lowed to remain must be admitted as another illus-
tration of the indifference often bestowed on the
benefits we have. If France or any other country
in Europe could boast of such a natural point
either for aggression, defence, or refuge, we should
probably hear constant lamentations at our lack
of a corresponding seat of power.—Times'

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A MASTER BUILDER—
On Saturday morning a fearful accident occurred at Hyde-
Park-gate, Kensington-road, by which Mr. Wm. Barnett,
a master builder, in a large way of business at Kensington,
was killed in a most frightful manner. The mansions on
the terrace known as Hyde Park-gate are very lofty build-
ings. Recently, some repairs had been going on at No. 8,
under the care of Mr. Wm. Barnett and his brother. The
work was near completion, and the deceased gentleman
went on the parapet on Saturday morning for the purpose
of seeing that some carved steno work in the cornice had
been properly carried out, and fell to the ground, a distance
of above 80 feet, with a frightful crash. Several persons
at once ran to the spot, and the unfortunate man was picked
up and at once conveyed to St. George's Hospital. lie
never recovered his senses, and died at five minutes to
11 o'clock.
