THE GREY HARBOR WORKS.
Greyjioutii, Sept. 0. For the last live or six weeks the channel of the bar has been straight out in the direction of the river, the beacons not requiring to be altered during that time. For the past month the depth of water on the bar has varied between twelve and fifteen feet, vessels coming in with one fide getting discharged and loaded and out by the next. The prevalent opinion is that these effects are due to the harbor works. Notwithstanding the late succession of heavy galea from the south west and north-east, the retaining wall being now run out seaward lias sustained no actual damage.
