VIE INTENDED NEW VICTUALLING ESTAB-
LISHMENT AT DEVIL'S POINT, PLYMOIITH.

Tuesday al ternoon, advantage was taken of the lowest
sarinß•tide which has occulted during the last six
months, for the purpose of laying the found rtion of the
sr a-wall connected with the intended New Victualling
Establishment at Devil's Point, Plymouth. The stone
vas a mass of granite, from the Quarries of Messrs.
Trenary and Co. of Penryn, and weighed about two
tons. it was lowered down by ropes, and fixed in its
situation 11 feet below low-water-mark, by the aid of
the diving bell. The rock on which the foundatian is
kid has an inclination of nearly 45 degrees, consequently
it will be necessary to cut into the solid cliff to effect a
1 idgm._ nt for t e stones f; firming the basement of the
wall. This is done by blasting the rock with gun-
Imo der under tuqter. The wall will stretch, when
tiiii4ied, from Devil's Point to the present Slaughter-
house. and thence in a N E. direction to the new Military
Road leading to the Marine Barracks—a length of about
2,000 feet. Tire base will measure in breadth 7ft. 9in.
the top 51t. 9in. and the height will be about 30 feet.—
About 5,40 tons of granite and limestone we on the
rnind, quite ri ady to be lowered into their situations.
IVe tide stand that the frame work, piles, &c. which
have beer elected for the building of the sea-wall alone
cost b-twcen 5,t;001. and 6.000/. The whole of this
grand national undertaking, consisting when finislitd,
of ste..nr corn mills, slaughter-houses, brewery, bake..
house, storehouses, &c. will cover an area of 12 acres
of ground. It is calculated, that it will require a period
ten years to effect its entire completion.

, The Catholic Association had its eighth sitting on
Tuesday, when a little incident occurred which threat
Plod t 1 disturb the harnr.ny of their proceedings. It
appeals that Mr. CYGostaaAr4, Secretary to the Old
A,sociaticn, felt disappointed that Mr. FlrzslMoN
should have been chosen Secretary of the new one, and
Wished to t.upeisede his authority. In consequence of
this, Mr. FITZSIMON handed up the archiv,s of the As-
rociation to the Chairman, the Hon. WM. BRowNe,
ho settled the business, by putting the question to the
thertio, whetherthe new Secretary should c'>ntir.ue io

lire Treaty of Limerick %A-a, re/erred to the Committee

ingadjout lied.
