LEwIsTowN, (Del) Sept. Q.
The Commissioners appointed by the United
States Government to survey the shears in the Del
aware Bay have arrived here, and gone on the expe
dition. 1t IS measure of great moment and should
II be carried into effect it will be of infinite impor-
lance both to the port of Philadelphia and 10 the
state OF Delaware The measure has for its object
the erection Oh Piers OIL the Shears, shoal which
DOW forms the barrier Of Hoarkill Roads, the only
harbor in Delaware Bay for shipping. The mer-
chants OF Philadelphia, IT is SAID, will give their as
sistance to the government and thus make good
mole or harbor. 1t is vast undertaking. but not so
difficult as may be imagined, inasmuch as the shoal
they intend to erect the break water upon, has not
more than four TO eight feet water, with solid san
dy bottom, hard as rock, it will be within mile or
two OF tha sea, and embrace the anchoring ground
and as good depth of water as is to be found in the
Delaware, without any impeachment of shoals or o.
therwise, between it and the ocean. II it should be
completed as it is proposed, it will doubtless be the
best harbor in the Union for large vessels.
