engines, necefrary in draining the works, where

foundations on the fouth fide are laid, and feveral
feet of the wall railed. The high walls which are
to furround the whole. premifes (as high as thofe
round the King's Bench prifon) are begun in fe.
veral places, and on Come part of the earl fide it is

fame means conveyed, by an eafy afccnt, to tlie
top of a large flap, ptojating a long way into the
River, at a great height above the water, to that
the carts ufed on the railways (and which are,
drawn by one horfc) can be !hot or emptied
once into barges, which conve,- tlio
earth and foil, or into (hips for ballalt, several
which, betides barges, can lee taking it iu at one
time. The quantity c,f.earth eKcity at .d ts y-t
(mall, in proportion to the whole, bt:r. it feems
