From The favorable level of the land which is
seven feet under high water mark its low cest and
abund OF good brick clay, these extensive works
will be complesed for comparatively small outlay.
The existing docks, north of the Thames, comprise
l6O water acres, and, with their respective ware
houses, bave cost nearly 900 sterling whereas
the Victoria docks when carried TO completion, will
amount to 257 water acres, and will COST with the
warehouses described and ZOO surplus acres, about
fl O0O Or at all events, under f5 900 per water
acre, being in the ratio OF twelfth part. In fact,
as respects unity and grandeur OF design extent OF
accommodation and economy of construction, this
great undertaking has nc parallel. The eminent
contractors, Messieurs Peto Belts ard Brasscy have
engaged to purchase the land to comsete the docks
and warehouses as described, and to bear every ex
pense whatever, including five per cent interest on
the calls until the docks are opened, for the sum
above stated. They are bound to deliver
the first dock and the warehouses complete and
ready for business by the lat Jsnuary, 1866 which

lease of the docks for twensy-ons years from thet
date, paying clear dividend Of per cent on the
entire outlay, with an equal dvisica Of surplus pro
over for acceptance rejection until the lst Decem

antee OF good rate of interest with every reason
able prospect Of considerable addition in the shape
of half profits generally understood that the pro-
position will be accepted. There are probably NO
other parties in whom could be found the financial
power to rasp 80 vast concern, combined with the
spirit and energy necessary to dcvelope its varied
sources to their full extent. The trade of London
has long suffered for the want of sufficient dock
commodaton, and the exorbiIaut charges levied by
the existing dock companies There Is every reason
to believe that Messrs. Peto & c ,mpany will see 1t
their true interest to open the Victoria at great
duction. and it is highly probable they may
adopt the Liverpool scale as standard This
will be great encouragement to the trade
of the metropolis and also to all Yankee merchants

in the same port doubt the reduction will ere long
become general.
