The Harbormaster at Charleston, Captain Cunningham, has handed to the Herald the following for publication : — "I prognosticate from this 25th day of July, at midnight, the weather will be fine for four days, to the 29th, and that the last quarter mil be very fine until the Ist of August, when wo shall have strong breezes from the south-east accompanied with squalls until the sth ; from the 6th to tbe 9th fine weather; from tbe 9th to the 17th moderate weather from the E.S.E to S.W. The last quarter, 26th, will be fine." v The removal of the atone groin placed above Kennedy street, Westport, has become necessary, in consequence of the encroachment of tbe sea ana river. The tide has washed away the south end of Kennedy street, leaving tho remains of the wharf isolated, and cutting in at the rear of the groin ; and this week's flood, in the rivei caused a similar encroachment above it, bo that the groin now forms an impediment to the free flow of the current, rather than a protective »ork.^ Under these circumstances it has been considered advisablejby the District Surveyor and Harbormaster, to utilise the stones by placing them along the bank of the rivar, from the transit shed upwards towards Cobden street
