A new wet dock, the firft of the Kind in 
North Britain, was lately apened at Leith 
with great ceremony. 
whoily executed within high water mark, 
which added greatly to the difficulty and ex- 
pence of the undertaking. The fpace occu- 
pied by the dock is above five acres, but in- 
cluding’ the ground on its fides and ends, up- 
wards of fifteen acres have been taken from the 
fea; on thefe parts it is intended to conftruct 
graving docks, buibding flips, theds and ware- 
houfes. ‘Fhe fea wall of this dack being ex- 
pofed to the accunulated fvell from the 
German Ocean, required t6 be very ftrong. 
The ftones on the outfide of the wall are 
bound together by chain bars of iron, inferted’ 
in the different courles horizontally, and con- 
nected -by vertical bars of the fame metal ; 
thus uniting the whole in one cammon roi. 
‘The bibding the work in this manner with 
iron, was a very neceflary mealure, as during 
the building of the wall it frequently hap- 
pened that ftones of feveral tons weight were 
difplaced by heavy eaftern fwells. ‘The quay 
walls, and thofe of the entrance lock, are alfa
