 Prompt Action of The Harbor Com. mtssioners.
 A correspondent says: The Board of New Haven harbor commissioners, of which ex- Governor English is the president, cannot be too much praised for their prompt action yesterday in stopping Contractor Redfeld from filling in the east sluice at Tomlinson's bridge with materials of stone and cement taken from the upper part (aboye water) of the old piers of the bridge.
 They were notified of this encroachment ot | the channel by Captain Joseph Forbes, whose straightforward, determined and energetic efforts will be commended by all interested in the navigation of the port
 Contractor Redfeld informed Engineer Hill and one of the commissioners that his orders were to place the debris in the east sluice and fill it up, leaving only four feet of water at low tide, and where was found about sixteen feet of water at low tide when sounded out by Captain Qrrin Mallory, of Fair Haven, g few days since.
 It is to be hoped that all of our citizens in- terested in the harbor and the effect of the flow and ebb of the tide, not only for navi- gation, but for sanitary purposes, will make intelligent effort to prevent these obstruc- tions and give free fowage to the tides, and so assist this important work.
