plan for improving Hartlepool harbour, is, to 
make one receptacle for thips of war, and ano- 
ther for merchant-veffels:” For the former he 
propofes to make an ample bafon, by clearing 
the great outer harbour to the depth of 30 feet 
water; and for the latter, to make one of 25 
feet depth. The expences for erecting piers, 
cutting bafons, &c. in the latter Cale, uifo) be 
drawn from all the fea ports between Hull and 
Leith; im the former, to be defrayed by go- 
vernment. Mr, Dodd’s eftimate exceeds the 
fum of 20,000).

and the labours ef thofe employed in thi 
humble, yet wfefu! fphere of life greatly alie- 
wiated. 
The peace of the port of Shields has been 
Jong ditturbed, in confequence of the mifrul

frequently deprive mafters of their command, 
. and detain veifels under way for fea ;——lately, 
Rowever, 70 or $0 of the moft audacious were 
taken into cuitedy, and impreffed, by the
