The directors of Folkstone harbour have 
adopted the smaller plan of their engineer, 
which will contain about twenty-four acreé at 
high water 5 this will completely accommo- 
date the trade of the town, and afford shelter 
for coasting vessels, At Folkstone, where 
the coast is much exposed to South West 
winds, Circumstances are particularly inviting 
to the means of protection: for the cliffs, 
which are principally composed of clay, inclu- 
ding many regular strata of hard stones, have, 
in the lapse of years, been washed down and 
decomposed, so # to leave immense quan- 
tities of loose rocks, so deposited above the 
level of low water, as to mark out the foun- 
dation for piers of any extent that may be 
desirable, and to furnish, on the spot, mate. 
rials of excellent quality for building them 
substantially, at the least possible expence. 
As the rocks have generally been regularly 
stratified, it is the intention to take them in’ 
the state they are found in,-and place them 
in the piers without any werkmanship or 
mortar ; selecting those most regular in their 
form‘for the fronts of the walls. The work 
will be commenced about the beginning of | 
May.
