Improvement Of Warkworth Harbour

A meeting of the Warkworth Harbour Commissioners was held on Thursday, at their offices in this town, when various improvements were proposed and adopted ; amongst the rest, a strong and efficient crane to be erected for discharging the London traders, &c., and such alterations and improvements of the Radcliffe staiths, as to be capable of loading vessels of 20 keels burthen, which can be very easily done at a slight outlay. — The commissioners present were, Thomas George Smith, Esq., (in the chair), Edward Western, Esq., Treasurer, and Wm. Barkus, John Holdsworth, James Dand, and John Harrison, Esqs. — We understand there is at present 18 feet water on the bar.
