The Proprietor while constantly endeavouring to fa-
miliarizs his visitors with the truly beautiful in vocal
music, has not dismissed from his mind the necessity of
amusing them, with Songs of a lighter but respectable cha-
racter. He, therefore, begs to submit that Mr. Hodson
will imitate everybody, and tell funny stories ; Mr. Hol-
brook will rattle away as glibly as can be, comically, and so
forth ; the grotesque violin players and dancers (who leave
for Paris and Lyons at the end of the week) ; and as a spe
cialty, has engaged the

MILFORD HAVEN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.

Sir,—There are some circumstances in connexion
with the accommodation for shipping already exist-
ing at Milford Haven which do not come within
the scope of Mr. Page's very able report, adverted
to in your leading article of this day. It is im-
portant, however, for the information of shipowners
and others, that these facts should be pointed out.
The South Wales Railway Company, after in-
cessant advocacy of the claims of Milford Haven,
and after expending from four to five millions of
money, have reached the shores of the Haven, and
have ineurred great outlay at their terminus (New
Milford) in providing accessible piers, landing
stages, quays, pontoons, cattle and goods sidings,
and similar convenient accommodation.

Ocean and other steamers of large tonnage can
at any state of the tide discharge their cargoes
alongside the floating pontoons and into railway
trucks, whence by hydraulic power they are in two
or three minutes lifted to the railway station.
A fleet of Ocean steamers is now performing a
monthly service between New Milford, Portugal,
and the Brazils, and avail themselves of this accom-
modation.

As agent for Lloyd's I can also state that the
African, another Ocean steamer, drawing 21 feet
water, which met with a disaster in the Channel on
her way from Liverpool, and was obliged to take
refuge in the "Mariners' Paradise," has been
brought by me, in the discharge of my duty, along-
side the pontoons. She is there still, and unload-
ing upwards of 2,000 tons of cargo.
Railway communication to Manchester at present
exists by two independent routes, and the cargo of
the African is now being sent to that and other
places by railway direct.
Daily communication has also existed for a con-
siderable time with Waterford, and on alternate
days with Cork, and passengers by this route are
aware of the great landing facilities afforded for
them at New Milford. These, I believe, are un-
surpassed at any other poet in the kingdom.
I have thought that you would like to be made
acquainted with these facts, with which, as a resi-
dent here, I am familiar.

Having had considerable nautical experience I
have no hesitation in expressing my ready acquies-
cence in the general accuracy of Mr. Page's state-
ment of the extent, advantages, and importance of
Milford Haven, and if a recognition of those views
by the press should lead to the construction of
other works both by the Government, and in con-
nexion with the commercial interest of the country,
good service will have been done to the State.—l
am, &c., THOMAS JACKSON.
