aunn_ eeted with another necessary improvement, that it glees
°epportunity of recordmending the erection of a Chain Pier
Ne 14tain Brown's plan, sidtilar to the one stow completed at
w''aeen, near Edinburgh. They have received the un-
911alified approbation of Mr: Rennie, and other eminent en-
tinve:ts, and are proof against any gale of wind. Soundings
tag already been made here for that purpose. The adran-
stes attending this improvement are
:incalculable, and the
trZ.l Boats alone could afford to pay 5 per cent. on the
otolnt 1
required to erect one. It would permit vessels to
ad their cargoes without grounding; give all persons, who
dry N partial to boat sailing, an opportunity to land and go off
riti;• rathetS, and vessels of all sorts, might conic alongs:de
algl, or low water, which would avoid the Most disagreed-
veess nd dangerous part. now attending the going on board a
