The strength and solidity of this structure has been thoroughly tested by the recent gala and consequent heavy sens, and with the most satisfactory results. No damage whatever has been done to tho completed portion, although the assoult of tho seas have been heavier than at any time for twelve months past, and was continuous for more than forty-eight hours. A centre block weighing about 150 tons, made only on Wednesday last, however, not having quite set, has been disturbed and cracked round the edges, but the damage done can easily be made good as soon ns the weather becomes calm. The coid rectors’ rails nt the extreme (seaward) end of the wall have been torn up and twisted, but nothing fortunately was carried away. The value of the structure as a shelter to shipping has boon most satisfactorily proven, tho Mary Ogilvie being able to finish her loading, and the steam o ; Samson to load and take her passengers aboard during the continuance of the storm, whils the schooner Zior and ketch Palmerston went on with the discharging of their cargo witheuc interruption from the sea, and lay under tho lie of the wall in perfect safety and in almost still water.—' N.
