HARBOUR SILTING.
In excavating for the stone work of the Graving Hock at Auckland, the workmen have come across some timber of is vessel embedded from eight to nine feet under the present surface. And fho Herald says that about thirty years ago a vessel which had been wrecked was thrown up on the beach at this place, and after the copper, &c., had been removed the hull was allowed to remain. In driving the piles for the coffer down last year an unusuel resistance was met with at this place, and one of the piles on hpiug drawn, after an unsuccessful attempt to drive it home, was found la have a quantity of rope attached to the end of it.- (Should this be the wreck of the vessel referred to, says that paper, it is evident that the silting of the harbour must be progressing very rapidly, when at least eight feet of hard clay lias accumulated over this wreck in the course of thirty years.
