The extensive improvements in Woolwich Dock-yard,
under the direction of Captain Denison, are rapidly progress-
ing. On Thursday the last brick of the stupendous chimney
intended to carry, over the whole of the adjacent buildings,
the whole of the smoke from the newly-erected foundries and
boiler-makers' sheds, was laid. In form it is octagonal, with
an area for the flues of the furnaces within the base of twenty
feet in circumference, and the walls at the bottom are six feet
in thickness. The measurement within, at the top within
the walls, is six feet clear. To the summit of the brick-work
from the ground is 210 feat.
It appears from the provincial papers, that there have been
copious falls of rain in all parts of the country, and that the
crops have been much benefited thereby. The grain is every-
where well spoken of. The hay; crop, is a most lamentable
failure ; but there will, in many Places, be good second crops.
A Cork paper says the other day, when the Ministers were
in difficulty, the people had written on the walls of Cork,
" Hurrah for repale, boys, Peel's out ;" some one afterwards
wrote underneath, " Ali ! but Dan's in."
