New graving docks on the Thames are in course of
construction in connexion with the Victoria Docks, and
upon an entirely original principle. By an hydraulic lift
and a contrivance for subsequently floating each vessel
into shallow water, where all the necessary examinations
and repairs can be conducted from workshops alongside,
the enormoua cost of the deep excavations required
under the present system is to be avoided, an extent of
space being at once rendered available which at a com-
paratively slight outlay would enable any number of
ships to be accommodated. A belief is stated that " by
this process our largest vessels—such as the Himalaya—
may be completely docked in two hours, while from
eight to ten ordinary vessels may with facility be raised,
examined, anti launched again, per day." The patentee
is Mr. Edwin Clarke, and the capital for the works now
in course of formation-70,0001—has been chiefly sub-
scribed among the principl London engineer; and their
friends, Messrs. Stephenson, Locke, Hawkshaw, Fow-
ler, Hawksloy, Berkley, and Bidder having expressed
full confidence in the undertaking.
THE MOORS.—ATRSHIRE.—So far as Ayrshire and
Galloway are concerned, we can state, on the infor-
mation of those in charge of the very best grounds,
that a great season is not only expected, but, from
the short stock of parent birds, impossible ; and in
northern counties the reduction in the stock last
year was shown more conspicuously on tracts long
famous for grouse. Our information is to the effect
that the birds were very strong in the early spring, and
have continued without any appearance of disease, and
that so far as the hatching has proceeded there is every
prospect of good coveys ; but much yet depends on the
weather, both for grouse and black game. Of grouse
the number of parent birds is very limited. A :yr Adr er•
