The length of the Union Doc Kowloong is 300 feet, its width 30 and its depth on the sill, at spring 21 feet. It may be interesting to the dimensions of the Aberdeen Dock, in order that our readers ma able to draw a comparison. This 1 has a length of 383 fens on the bl its width is 100 fost at the coping st and 50 feet at the bottom, and its of water 24 feet 6 inches at spring It will thus be seen that the Union pares not unfavourably with its k ival, which is the most roomy in Eastern seas. In solidity of constra and effectual resistance to the wat is scarcely second, and the prosper its owners may be deemed nust sati tory. It is scarcely necessary to to the absurd canards so often propag as to the injuries inflicted on it by h showers of rain. While, as we shown, the nature of the original rendered it liable to injury from danse, the dook itself has been in no Affected since the first difficulties overcome.
It is, we believe, more the intention of the company to menee another dock to the westwar the one now nearly completed, as as this latter shall be in working o And as another feature of interest we add that there are already two or slips laid down for building and re ing vessels; one is already occupie a small steamer, and the other shortly receive the keel of a 1 sabooner, for the building of which or have been given, and which will be lowed by other craft as the slips beg vacant, he ship-building departu will, we believe, be under the supe tendence of Mr A.

The delay is do less owing to the uncertainty viously felt about the construct of the duck itself, and in the light present experience the shareholders scarcely thank the opposition for th persistent efforis (doubtless well mea to retard the progress of Mr Stud work.

NUISANCES.
