Tbe Governor General lays before tbe Council a Minute addrcascd to the Executive Council, with relation to the establishment of an Observatory in the immediate vicinity of Sydney, together with the opinion expressed by tbe Members of the Cooncil thereupon.

A sum has been inserted in the Estimates for 1856, to cover tbe coat of the Buildings which will be required, and for the Salary of the Astronomer. And the Governor General trusts that he may be empowered to take immediate measures to secure the appointment of a person properly qualified to perform the importtnt and onerous duties which will atttoh to an Astronomer in charge of an Observatory furnished with valuable

Inxtruments.

Hi, Bieelleocy the Governor Genem! Up before tbe Cooncil « Memoreotiuin eiplumtory of tbe eitintngo* wbich woold enaue on the reerUblUhment of »n Observatory

in UiU Colony.2. The ConncU exprcM their entire concarrence in OU Excellency's viewe, end they

idvise that tbe LefUletivc Council be invited to jnebe the nccesnery provision for e building in or near Sydney, to contain the valuable inslmmcnta already in tbe poeaeasion of tbe GovertiiD«l; for aucb repairs to these instmineDU as may be requUitc; for a rosidenee for the Astronomer in the immediate vicinity t£ tbe Observatory) and for such addidonal

accommodation for oonputers, Ac-, as may probably be required.

3. It may alK be denirable to provide for the purchase of a doxen sots of Meteorological insimmenls, for the purpoae of recording, at different points throughout the exteuMve area tbe Colony, oheervaiions aa to temperature, moistnre, direction of wind,

and atmoepheric phenomena.(Signed) MICL. FITZPATRICK,

67eri of At CoundL

OBSERVATORY.

I heard with some regret a few years mnee that the Observatory at Parramatta bad been broben op. I am aware that this was in a great measure dne to the misconduct of tbe person then aeting as Astronomer, in eonsequenoe of which some doubt was thrown upon tbe correctors of bis obaervations, and oMsequently on tbe value of the results deduced from them. This was, perhaps, a sufficient reason for the withdrawal by the Home Government of tbe allowanoe grants to an Observer in these latitudes; but there are many eircamstaaer which wonld, in my opinion, make it very advisable to re-establish tbe Oboervatoiy, not on its old site, bet apoo one in tbe immediate vicinity of Sydney. In the first place, prcrvi^ios bu already been made for the erection of a building to contain the machinery of a Time Balt, and for the purcltase of the machinery j but the Time Ball will, in point of fact, be worn than naele», unless there ire moans for determining the time correctly—that is, unless there are proper clocks and proper instrnments for determining the time, and these instruments are in the bands of sn Observer responsible to the Govern* uieut for ihcir pvuper appiication. 1 say that a Time Ball would be worse than useless without these, fur as the Time Ball is ealablished for the purpose of enabling captains of Te.^eli to rate their chrocometers properly, any error in the time given by tbe Bidl has the effect of deceiving the captain as to the quality of his chronometer, and as to the daily rato at wbieb it either loses or gains; and a very trifling error in the rate, accumulating daily, will in the course of a month amount to a serious error in time, and a still more serious one ii; longitude.

In tbe second place I am anxious for the esUbliahmcnt of ao Observatory in the iinmedisto vicinity of Bydney, as affording to all persons, and espedaUy to (hose educated at :he University, a practical example of the application of tcience to the detcnmnalion of »-•, .'lers altogether beyemd tbe soc^ of our ordinary or uneducated reason.

The

RE-ESTAllUHITMENT OF OBSERVATORY.

Tlie itiudcnt «om in the retulta dodaaed from obeemtion, tho epplicntioa of thoee truthe or principlcx «rhioh hero been pat bofuro him at tchool in an abatract fi>rm; aod he begioi to oomprehend that vhat he baa hitherto engaged boen in in to be looked upon in the light of an apprentieeahip, during which ho haa learnt to handle tbe tools wbieb he will from henceforward haro to apply to the purposes of life.

In the third place, I am desirous to oatablish an Obserratory for the purpose of ocinnccting it with tho trigonometrical surrey of the ooantry; and thns, by means of tho perf»M;t and absolute dotormioation of tho position on the earth’s surface of one point, to bo enabled to lay down with porfoot accuracy the whole of the remainder of the country, not merely with relation to that spot, but with relation to the remainder of the earth's lurfsoe.

In the fourth place, I am anxious for the establishment of an Obserratory as a means of oonneotiog this Colony with the scientific societies of Europe and America.I hare no doubt but that from my actiuainUnco with the Astronomer Royal I shall bo able to obUin from him a reeoramundation of a person thoroughly qualified to take charge of the Obeerratory j and we can then procure awislanta from the Youth of tlie Colony, some of whom will be trained up to take the place hereafter of the Astronomer at first supplied

from England.

The instrumenta in our possession already are of great ralue, and, I beliero only require to tw properly adjusted to allow of their employment at once; proTision should be niado for a building to contaio them; for such repairs as may be found necessary to tbe instruments themselves; for a house for the Astronomer in the immediate vicinity of the Observatory, and such additional accommodation for computers, 4c., as may probably bo required. It would also bo desirable to provide for tbe purchase of a dosen sets of Meteorological instruments for Uic purpose of publishing different poinU throughout tho extensive area of the Colony, and such observations as to temperature, moisture, direction of wind, and generally of such atmospheric phenomena as may afford data from which we may be enabled at some future period to deduce the laws upon which these phenomena depend,

or by which they are regulated.

Tbr», if nado by a anffitiont immlarr of L..ry frigato., or .traraor., nould probably bo ooo-

ducted as follow*,—A eertwn number of the*e vessels would cogsge the batteries at tbe entrance of the

batbonr, snppoaing aneb to be made, while othm would run part tbe batteries and push at

onoe fo* tbe town.If on the coolrarj, the attacking force were ficnall, and were tempted in by the

prospect *of gain, an attempt would probtbiy be made to run past the outer batteries in

the night.In either of tbeae cam it i* obvious that sbonld tie attempU succeed, tho town

would be at tbe mercy of U»e attacking force; the amall tower on Pinchgut Island, tbo few guns on Dawes’ Battery, and those mounted on Fort Maequarie woold not be snfBcicnt to withatand tbe fire brooght upon them; and the outlay upon the outer works would be thrown away in oonsequrnoe of the weak character of those in the immediate vicinity of

the town.I do not at all 6nd &uU with tbo plan proposed by Colonel Gordon for tbe defence

of the entrance of the Port, indeed I fully approve of it; the effect produced by tbe fire <rf these forts upon the vemels running the gauntlet past them, would be such as to render them, in all probability, incapable of contending against the fire of vessels of inferior foroe inside tbe batteries, or of oomiog into action at once with the forts in the vicinity of the town; but when ooee the vesnels have passed these batteries they are out of danger, they bare ample space to lis^to and re-fit if such repairs sre necessiry, or should their spars or machinery be uninjured they may move at «we to tbe attack of the town, and the very largo outlay upon these exterior works would be thrown away.

I am, therefore, of o^nion that it srould be desirable to arrange for tbe conatruction of those works firti, which will smjute tbe town and harbour by rendering it impossible for any vessel to be in a podtiou in which her fire can become effective against cither tbe afaipping or tbe buiSdisgs. When tbeao works are fully completed, it will then be worth eouaideratioD wbetber those now projected for the monib of the port should bo continued upon the present or any modified plan.

The adra&tagM which will attach to the proposed mods of carrying out these works ate, first, econoov.

Tbe

DEFENCES OP PORT JACKSON.

Tho work* for tho Jcfonco of tho cntmtice into tho port, nsmoly, those at the innet Smith Head, the Middle Head, tbe Sow and Pigs, and Uradloj’s Hoad, will coat, 1 imagine, at least double the amount of tbe original eitlmale, that ii between ill &0,000 and £170,000 ; whilo the works at Dawes’ Hnttory, Pinchgdt, and euch additional halteriei at maj he required, either at Port Mac(|aarie, or tlio point on the North Sliore oppoilU Pinchgut, or on tho west head of Woolloomooloo Bay would bo incxpeniiTe works, consialiog of open batteries, beerily armed it U true, but not costly to oonstruet.

Tho eltcs Ibns mentioned would admit of tbo erection of batteries so arranged, that if a Tcssol should bring her broaJsido to bear upon any one, tbe others would bo in a position to rake her fore and aft. And were she to pass by tho outer batteries and bring up in fnml of the town, then she would still be exposed to tbo raking fire of tho battery on the Nortli Shore, while Fort Maetjuarie and Dawes’ Battery would bear upon licr broadside, and musketry from ihti shore would sweep her decks—in fact she would be in such a poeltioD that half an hour's firing would render her a complete wreck.

Some idea might be entertained that a Tossel might shelter herself under Garden Island from tho fire of these batteries, and from thenco throw shells into the town} it is not likely that a vessel would run the risk of being enl off for the sake of such gratuitous mischief, but in point of fact her position behind tho island wonld be untenable were a few guns brooght down to the shore of Elisabeth Bey, or Rusheutter’s Bay, which might bo done in a space of an hour or two, a slight cover being thrown up for them with sand bags, casks,

or wool bales.

Another advantage, aud that a most iinporUnt one, which thcae nearer works wonld have over ihoec at the entrance of tho port, would be the ease with which they would be

manned.

In tho case of tho forts at the inner South Head, the Middle Head, and the Sow and Pigs, it would be necessary to maintain in them permanent garri.<iooa, dunng the time of War, of strength aulficient to work all the guns mounted, and to rea’ist any attempt which might bo made to land men, and to take them by escalade daring the night.

With these inner batteries nothing of tho kind wonld bo necessary—tbe trained volunteers, the police, tho sailors from the ships in harbour, wonld, In connexion with the Kgular military force, bo found quite compolent to work the guns, and to resist any attempt, sliould the enemy be rash enough to make it, to storm tho battery and spike the guns.

My opinion, after a careful consideration of all tho circumstances connected with tbe defence of Port Jackson and tho City and Harbor of Sydney, is, that it wonld be desirable to discontinue for the present the works of the South Head and the Middle Head; to complete upon a largo scale the work at Dawes' Battery; to erect a strong work on Knchgut Island j and also other heavy batteries on tho North Shore opposite Pinchgut;

and at the end of the Domain, at tho entrance of Woolloomooloo Bay.

Tho co.st of completing these would not, I feel certain, amount to the sum already voted by tho Council, and when these are finUhed, it will then be time to consider whether

any and wbat additional works are required.

And it is equally certain that the wnrka in tbe ririnty of tbe City, are altogether Dseleea as a DefesM; an enemy faaviog forced the pasregc of the Heads by running past in tbe night, which in all probability would be tbe course putsacd and tuccessfullj earned out, would leave the City open to bombardment and ruin.

TTIth there views, I am decidedly of opinion, that it will be more prudent to complete the woriu of Defence in tbe immediate vicinity of Sydney, than to carry on the worlm in progress at South Bead aud Middle Heed.

Id expresing rite above opinions, I beg it to be nndentood, that loonsider sworkoo the Sow and Shoal to be an olgect of the greatest impertanoe. I eoogidet also that tbe work at Bradley’s Head should be so far completed as to enable the Battery to be wmked.

Wuiks at these pointe wonld form siann posts to Sydney; enemy's vessels would from sueh works, be under fire from the moment they entered tbe Heads, and taken up by moeb Gut Island aud the neighbouring Batteries.

In eoDclouou I wonld obrerve that the worka in progress at bliddle Head and South Head wen projected by Lieut. Col. Gordon, late Commanding Boyal Engineers, and tbe plana being approved by tbe Injector General of Fortificationi, the Katimatea were laid before the Lefulatrre Couudl and pamed for that serrioa.

For thia reason, althongU the works projKwcd at Pinchgwt Wand and Pawes' Battery would hare boon very useful in the defence of the actual Harbour, yet the main outlay was dUlribuled at the Inner South Head, tbe Middle Head, the Sow and Pigs, and Bradley’s Head, all of which ooold only operate in checking the approach of an enemy, and wonld in no way oontribnte to the defence of tho Town and Harbour itself, and even thia intention would be tery iaperfectly carried out by tbo eonetructioa of the batteriea now in progresa at luncr South Head and on Middle Head, without tbe very uspen- tiTC work propoicd to be erected on the Sow and Pigs.

The cost of completing then works, it is CEtimaled wonld not exceed the sum already voted by tbe Legislative Cooccil fur tbe works now in progre».

In aupporl of these views His Excellency also lays before the Conocil a Report from Colonel Barney, late commanding Royal Engiueers, to whom Ilia Exeellcncy'a Minate wai rabiaitted, end who tutes that (he views expmsed therein have geucrally been advocated by bin in his c&cial Reports to the Inspector General of Fortifications; more especially in 1841, when he submitted plans and eatimatea of Works at Dawes' Battery, Fort Macquarie, Pincbgnt Iilind, Bradley's Head, and the Sow and Pigs. -

DEFENCES OP PORT JACKSON.

1st. Dawss* Battkrt.

Tliis is » most imporUnt poiot, oommandiog the anchorage in front of the town, and raking all tc»o1« in their approach either of the channels to the right or left of Pincbgnt Island.

I propose in the first place to arm the present Battery with long 42-pontjdcra, of which T suppoM it will oootain about 5; it will be a matter of consideration whether they •ItoulJ firo through embrasures or be mounted on dwarf Irateraing platforms j below the present Battery I propose to construct a plain earthen one fur fifteen 42-poundera, so that th<! two would mount twenty gnns of the hearicsl oalibro, bearing directly upon tho entrance and anchorage, and bringing a raking firo upon crery Tcssel before she could take up her berth and bring her guns effectively into action.

These guns, being placed low, should be well oorcred, and had probably better bo mounted upon ordinary wooden carriages, a few through embrajurea.

It would bo desirahlo to erect to the right or the left of this Battery a Barrack for from 80 to 100 men ; this could be most conveniently occupied by tbe Police of tbo town, all of whom should be drilled to tho service of tho guns, and who would thus form the nucleus of a really effective body of Artillery.

2. Fort Mai'quarie.

Little can be dune to this work, wbieb, however, holds a very effective poeition;— arrangements might bo made to mount another 24-j>oundcr upon the aca-faco, and cover might be given to tlie guns on tho face looking towards the Cove and up the harbour, upon which 24-pounders might be mounted; but I do not propose at present to make any great alterations in this work.

3. Pjnchout Island.

The work here has already been commenced, and is in a state of some forwardness; the Parapet is nearly complete; a Tower ia required at the north end, which might constitute a sort of keep, aud thus render it impossible for an enemy to retain possruion of the battery, or turn its guns against the town; it would be desirable to excavate tbe ground in front of the sea-face to a depth of five or six feet below low water mark, and so to have a sort of wet ditch in front, which would prevent any attempt to force in by escalade; the rubbish sbould bo shot out in front of this ditch, so as to prevent boats coming up to tho wait.

A Barrack would be required in the rear for CO men, besiJn tbe numlier which tho Tower would acoommodatc.

The form of the works in the rear will of course be regulated by tlie shape of tho ground, but they should bo made to oontrlbuto towards tho defeuccs of the work and to prevent the landing uf troops to take the battery in rear.

4, Battery at the Foist and b.no of DoM.tis.

This would bo most useful; it would, if placed on the ground above Lady Macquarie's Chair, louk over the low ground behind Garden Island; it would open its fire upon vcswls as soou aa they rounded Bradley's Head ; it would rake veswls attempting to bring tbeir broadsides to bear upon tbo Battery on Pinchgut Island, wonld flank tbe face of this Island, and would act with effect on boats attempting to land troops upon it.

I think that there is room hero for nine or tea 24 or 32-poondors; it would bo dosirablc that these guns should flro through embrasures, and that the line of tho Battery should bo directly enfiladed from Fort Maoquarle, so that if by any cbancc the enemy were to get poa.ses2ion of the battery for a time, tho guns from Fort Macquarie would render its possession of little use; by placing the guns in embrasures the enemy could not use them against the town, without moving them and placing them in a position completely exposed to tho fire from Fort Macquarie.

5. B.tTTEar vroN KioitniiLLi Point, on the North Shore, oppoaixc Dawes' Battery.

It is very desirable to moant 5 or C guns upon this point, which would flank the north cod of Pinchgut, and oommand tho rear of that island; these guns would also rake a vessel fore and aft while passing Pinchgut, aud would cross fire with the other Batteries upon veBsels whioh might pass this Island.

No. 5.DEFENCES OF HARBOUR AND TOWN OF SYDNEY.

In a former minute, which was referred to Colonel Barney, I went into a detail of the woeka which it would be desirable to erect forthrrilli for the purpow of securing^ with as little delay and at aa small an expeoR aa possible, tho town ud ahipping in the baiboor from injury by hoeUle tcbrIs which might make Uieir way into tbe port for tbe purpoae of damaging the trade of the city, or loTying contributions upon the inhabitante. It is my wish now to draw the attention of Uie Council to the views put forward in that minnte, which ooincidea, as will be noon, with thoM entertained by Colonel Barney, and aim to bring nnder (be considcratioo of the members tbe varioos modes in which a sufocient military force can be provide for (he perpOH of mannii^ tbe different batteries, as also tbe gcmenl arrangemenU which will be required ia order to enable every dewription of force, naral aa welt as military, to oonenr effecrirely in the defence of the town. It muet he qnite obvious to every owe that works however well planned, akilfoJlj conatraetod, and heavily armed, can have no ponible effect in seenring tbe town and shipping from insult or attack, nnleas there can be found a buSckdI number of men, properly trained, and nnder a good syatem of dueipUDC, ready at the first alarm to stood to tbeir gnus, and to open a fire upon tbe CBemv ao soon as he eomea within range. I lay great stress upon this readiness to set— it is caMntial that tbe nren sbonld be cm the spot, m that in ten miuntes from the first alarm they may be at their post, gane loaded, matches lighted, and everything ready for actiem. It is obrktua that this cannot be the case if the working of the guns in tbe batteries be intrusted either to militia or volnnteers. Hm militia, if peiwiaaently embodied, ceases to be a militia and bcomes an expenuve military body; and volonteers, though admirably adapted to act ia iwjperaiion with a regnW body of troope, and likely to prove most nsefn. aaaistonte in the d«f«K* of the town, cannot yet be depended upon for the Rirke of tho guBR, or tbe defrnee of tbe batteriea, which might be stormed, and the guns turned against the town, before it would ba pewtUe to oollect a volunteer foroo and bring it into action.

A permanent fonse of aone kind or other must bo maintained, and the first subject for consideration ia the amount of «eh for«. In order to arrive at this we must consider the position of the hsturies allndad to in my former minute, aud the armament of each.

Dawes’ Battery is to mount twenty forty-two pocoden, and will require 200 men to work (hem effectively.

Fort Maoqoarie will mount, when oom^te, 12 guns, and must have a garrison of

Od Pinefa^t UUnd 0 hm; gons will be in batterj, knd 00 men will not be more than emrugh to work them.

The batter; in tbe Domain will be armed with 10 guns, and nmet hare TOO men to work them.

Tho batter; on the North Shore will hare 5 guns, and will require 50 men to workthem.

There ouglit tberoforo to bo A60 gunners proper!; trained ntd officered, and tbeee men, or a luge pruportion ef then, should bo read; at a nonient'i notioe shouid there be a war between England and ao; nation oapable uf sending a foroo into these seas.

In addition, however, to theee men, it would be ver; denirable that tho batter; in tbo Domain, and that on tho North Shore, should be secured from tho rash of ao oncm; landing in tho ba; to the oBatward b; the prose nee of a bod; pf infantr;. \ conpio of hondred men would bo ver; nscfull; stationed at points where, sheltered from the fire of tho ahipping, tho; might bring a hear; fire of mosketr; upon boats attempting to land men for tbe attack of the batter;, or upon men who, having landed higher up the ba;, might attempt to take tlio batter; in the rear.

The total foreo reqtiirod may therefore bo estimated at 1,000 men, of whom fiOO abould be gunners, or persons traioed to work hear; Ordnanoc.

The proBCDt disposable militor; foroo ma; be taken as one regiment, or 600 men, and wo ma; ossumo that Her Majesty’s Oavernmoiit will be willing to have a regiment io tbe Colon; upon the payment from the Colonial funda of a proportion of the cost. It is desirahle that thia should be dune, for the perfect orgasimtion and dieciplino of tbeee troopa will make tb<m much more effective than an; force whicli could be embodied here fur several years to oome, and the; will prove an efficient support to the volunteers and others who will in case of danger muster readily for the defence of their homoe.

\Vc have thorufore to provide au efficient force uf four handred men, properly traioed as gunners, who will be always in read.inese to act at the shortest notice. This might be done by tho organisation of four companies of artillery as a permanent military force; but this would cause a large outlay, end one that in time of peace would bo altogether un- Dooe.aary. A simpler and leas expensive plan would bo to train tbe whole of the police of tho town to serve in the batteries, quartering them In the barracks wUch it is propoeod to erect at Dawes' Battery and elsewhere. Tho strength of tho police force at present may bo put at 25l>, but this number is hardly sufficient to carry on the ordinary polioe duty of the town, and it would bo impoesiblo to impose upon the men the additional duty of daily gun- drill without rendering them inefficient as police. I propose, therefore, to increase the presout force to SOO men, and I have ascertained by oommunicition with tho Inspector General of Pedioo that with this addition he will be prepared to carry out a system of drill for the whole force wbioh will in a short time render them efficient artillerymen. Tbe addition, therefore, of but 50 men, render a force of 800 diepoaable, and this addition, together with tho advantages which will bo derived from placing the men in barracks, will

render the whole body more efficient as police.It would bo desirable to complete the foroe of 400 men by the organisation of one

company of erlillory, oonsistlng of 5 officers, 5 sorgsanta, 10 oorporals, and 85 men, with a bugler. Tho duty of the offioors and men of this company dnriug peace would be to keep the batteries in proper repair, to eee to the condition of tbe gun-carriages, side-arms, &c., to take charge of tbo powder in tho magailnos, to dry it if neceasory, to prepare oariridgoe, &o- 4c._iu fact to see that everything eonnooted with the batteries was in a state to be used at the shortest uotioc. A portion of the officers and non-eommisaioned officers might be usefully

emjdoycd in drilling the polioe, the volunteers, &c.It is not abeolutely necessary to go into the question of the distribution of the force

thus placed at tho disposal of tlio Government; but I may as well stale, that with reference to tho arrangomcnia proposed above, it would be desirable to place tbo battery at Pinchgut and Fort Macquarie in chaigo of the regiment stationed here, the number of men required for the BCTTioe of the guns in both these forts being permanently stationed in th«a; acoom- modation sbould therefore bo provided for the neoessarj number of men and officers, so thst on any altmi, the guns may be brought into action at ones. A Barrack would be required for the artillery, and this might bo placed in tbe Domain, some little distance in retr of tbe

A delachnwnt.howcwr, under an officer would be sUlioned in the battery on tbe North Shore, the remainder of the foree required to work the guna of that battery would be detached, on the Brjt alarm, from tho barracks at Dawc*’ Battery.

In my farmer minute, I proposed to construet barracks for 100 men at Dawes’ Battery; il might bo adrisaWo to place 150 moo hero as they would haw to deUeh 20 or SO to the

battery ea the North Shore.Dawes* Battery will be the lost that will oome into action, it is not thereforo on

necessary (hat tbe whole of the men required to work the guos should be on tho spot; tho barrseks tbeTeforc for the remainder of the polioe may be placed at the spot mostoonreoient with refrreoce to their police duties. On the first alarm howerer, all the men who can be spared from tbeir doty in the Town, will move at onro to Dawes' Battery to reinforce tho

men staliooed there.

Thisdispoeiiion of the men baa reference only to them actually employed in tho batteries, tbe remainder of the troops and the volunteers will be at tho disposal of the com* missioned officer; a portion of them will be despatched probably to support tbe batteries in the domain and os the Korth Shore, the remainder will be kept in bond ready to move to any point where their eervices may be reqnired.

Tbe volunteer artillery, if not required for the rorrice of tbe field guns, will relieve the men at the batteries.

In order however that all these arTangetnents sbould work ntUfactorily, provision must be made to secure that proper notice shall be giren of tbe approach of an enemy. The men would be confused and disheartened were the first intimition of tbe enemy to be a broadside from tbe gnos of a frigate, and thia will lead to the consideration of the mode in which the gun boats or other naval foree might contribute with most effect towards tbe defence of the harboor. Should the enemy venture in during the day these arrangeincnla will be simple enongh; but as the probability is that every care will be taken by the enemy to oonceal bis intention of attacking the Town, his probable mode of action will be as follows,—lie will keep out of *ight of land till the dusk of tbe evening, and will then make sail so as to enter the mouth of tbe faarbcnir during the night, selecting as a matter of course the darkest and gloomieet weather, he will depend upon the knowledge he may have acquired of the leading marks which miy enable him to clear tho Sow and Pigs, &c.; bo will Uien, if not prevtoosly eeen, have tbe whole bacbour open to him, and will hardly be recognised till he opens hi* fire on the Town, Now, no watch at the top of the cliff at the signal Btarion, even snppoaing him to be always on tbe look out, woold be able on a dark night to •ee veesels at any disUoce; it is quite posaible that a whole fleet might pass into the harbour without being eeen by aach a look out, at all events he would not be able to sscertain their character. In order therefore to afford perfect eecnrity against the entrance of vcasels during tbe night without notice or alarm, it will be neco-^ary to have a gun boat lying close under abelt-rofthe South Uead, and that a couple of armed boats should row guard throughout thenight; Ibeee boau thonld challenge every veaael entering the harbour, and direct them towchoe for the night at the QuartDtlne Sulion, and on the refusal of tho vessel to obey instTuctioni they sbould instantly Sre upon her, and pull back to the gun boat; this latter would immodiaUly open her fire upon the vessels, and throw up sercral rockets is a rignal of tbe approach of an enemy, ahe would then make her way back into the harbour with all ^eed, and Uke up sueh a position as might be appointed to enable her to co-operate with the greaUrt effect in tbe defence of the Town. On the first alarm of tbe aiqiroach of the enemy the men on board the li^t-ship sbould Mtingulrb their lights, aud arrangements should be made to enable them to veer away upon one cable and haul upon the other, so as completely

of ihe vcisel, and thus deprive tbe enemy of any guide as to the position of the ahoal. It may be s matter of question, whether in case of war with the French or AmerMM U might not U ta well to dispense with the floating light altogether, and to compel all vessel* to aacbor for the night in the Qnaranlme Cove. .

Minute No. 55-14. Confrmed 1 May, 1855,

Referring to tho proceedings on tho 28th February list. His Excellency the Governor Coneral lays before the Council two additional Minutes on the subject of the Defences of tho Harbour and City of Sydney. The first of these ireato in dcUil of the works which it would bo desirable to erect forthwith, for the purpose of securing, with as little delay and at as small an expense as possible, tho Town, and Shipping in tbe Harbour,from hostile vessels which might make their way into the Port. The scoond has referenoe to the mode of providing a sufficient miliUry force, for the purpose of manning the different Batteries; snd also the different arrangemenU which will bo necessary, in order to enable every description of force, naval as well as military, to o-jneur effectively in defence of the Town.

2. Tho several works at present contemplated are those already stated in the Minute laid before tho Council on the above date, snd tbe extent of the sUcralions or new ereoUons

are ss followsIst-Dawoa’ Battery. To arm tho present Battery with say five long 42 pounders,

either to fire through embrasures or to be mounted on dwarf traversing platforms. To construct a plain carthern Battery below the present, to mount fifteen 42 pounders. These guns being placed low, would require to bo well covered, and would probably be mounted upon ordinary wooden carriages, and fire through embrasures. To erect to the right or left of this Battery a barrack

for 150 men.2nd—At Fort Macquarie. To mount another 24 pounder upon tho sea face, aud

give cover to tho guns on the face looking towards the Cove and up tho Harbour, on which three 24 pounders might be mounted.

3rd—On Pinchgut Island. Tbe work hero is in a state of forwardness, the parapet being nearly complete. It will be necessary to erect a tower at the north end, whioh would constitute a sort of keep; to excavate tbo ground iu front of the sea face to a depth of five or six feet below low water mark, so oa to leave a sort of wet ditch iu front: the rubbish being shot out in front of the ditch, to prevent boats ooming up to tho wall. And lo erect a barrack for 60 men in addition to the number wbioh tbe tower will accommodate.

DEFK.XCKS OF PORT JACKSON*.

4^-^t th<i ^iit ID Uie DotMiQ ow Mr*. MMqurtc't Gh«lr. To erect« Battery for aine or tea 82 poaaden, to fife throe^h cmbmarec, to bo eDfiiaded from

Fort MM«ia4ra.

bUi—Oo KioribiUi FtxBt. To ereot » Battm for fi*« or eis guns, tbo rear beiag oiooed in and Ibo faoo mrped or built ap; Bod to creet a barrack for 30 cr 40 mcD, vbiob ni|bt be loojrboled tod gioe a flank to tbe Battery.

8. Tbeae worka tbe Governor General oooBldcra to bo of primary ituportanoe, and sbonld be carried oat witb aa little delay as poeaibla. His Execllcncy also UGDtioDS, aa aatier for faturo coosidcraGon, wbetber cover might not be thrown wp for a few guns npon tbe point looking into tbe rear of Garden Island, so as to dislodge any vesael taking shelter to tbe eastward of that Island; and in like taanaer, to [dace a Battery at the bottom of the Bey, to the eistward of the Battery on Kioribilli Point, ftir tbe purpose of acting against b»ta, should an altsnipt be made to take this Battery by the rear.

4. TTith reepeet to the force neeesaary lo man thcae works, His Excellency nigCB, flnt, that works of this character, however well planned and oonstmclcd, and however heavily armed, eau be of little avail, snless a nfScient number of trained disciplined men are on tbe spot, ready to stand to the guns on tbe firat alarm. Seooodly, that for this purpose, mmepn-amscet force is absolutely seceseary, as it is not possible to concentnte eitber Militia or Volontocrs for such a service, with sufficient celerity.

5. The Duaibcr of men which would be required ia atsted to be as follows:—At i Dawes’ Battery, mounting twenty 42 poundera, two handred mca. At Fort Macquarie, ) mounting, when complete, twelve gnus, oae hundred and twenty men. On Pinchgut ] Island, monnGng nine heavy guns, ninety mm, will not be more than enough. At the i Battery in ihe Domaie, naounting tea guns, one hnodrod emd. At the Battery on l> tbe North Shore, mounting flve goas, fifty men. Total for tbe guns (&0(i) five hundred and ^ Bity men.

0 It would be desirable to plaoe tay two himdr\d men each, in support of the Batteryia Ibe Dmnaiuand of that on the North Shore; tbe total eeGmatcd force, therefore, may

0 be mated at one tkoaaaod men, of whom five hundred abould be trained to work heavy wdaanoe.

9 6. Tbe preaent diqweaWe military foroe may be taken at one Begimcat, or aixhondred mra, icavii^ four hundred to be pruridad for, and this it is propoeed to accompliab in tbe fellewiag aaaaner;—

l*t~To train the wbede of the Police of tbe City to servo in the Batteries, quartering tbcwi in tbe Barracks to be erected at Daweif Battery and elsewhere. The preeeat strength of the Poiioe is estimated at two bundrod aud fifty; and to enable them to perform their Police duties wiUi greater efficiency, and to meet this additional duty, the number sbonld be increased to three hundred.

2nd—To organise one Company oi Artillery, coasisttog of five officers, five sergeants, sen oorporals, and eighty-five men, with a buglee. The Commimioned Officers, and eoiM of ihe Non-Oommunianed Officers, it is expected coukl be obtained from England, and tbe remainder of the men would be enlisted in the Colony, under the authority of an Act of tbe I,^ialaturc to be passed for tbe purpose. Barrset aoooamodattOD will be oeceoary Cir the Artillery; aud tbe most oooTenient rite will be in the rear of the BatUry in tbe Dumain, in a position to intcffore as little sa possible with the use of that locality for purposes of public reenatioo.

7. Finally, Uis Exedleocy poinU to the neeemity of mainUiniisg a gun boat and two tow guard boato near the Heads of Port Jackson, for the pnrpoMs of ensoring that dne noUoe is given of tho entry, during the night, of any biwGle vcael.

8. Tbo eatiButcd annual oast of the proponed arrasgemeats, irrespective, of oourse, •f that now jnsarred for the pay and allowatMes of the auliro Companies of the 1 llh Rcgi- maat would be,—

» Ifo—Pay of fifty men to be adiisd ti Police, at present rates.

19 2nd—Pay, allowancaa, clothing, and proriiions for one Company of Artillery.

1. r«uBcUmetpur*u*nlto*djonrnraent: the Speskar look the Chtir.MMMgcHThe following Mesaegts from Hie Kicollency tbe Gorernor General i

ooiTed end road:—(1.) Colonial Agent General

The Gownor General lays before the Conncil a Despatch with whioh be bloe uovernor ixneral lays before the Council a Despatch with whioh be bu hwn honored by the SacreUn- of State, calling his attention to the mode in whioh the Agency bu.nnoM of the Colony is now oondneted, and directing him to snbmit some plan for a modification of the prc«nt arrangements, which neither work satis. iMtonly for the Colony nor with jnstice to tho Agent General. Sir George Grey in this Despatch, states thst Her Majesty's Government will willingly scc^e to any scheme of conducting this Agency which may be approved by the Legislature • but should It be considered desirable to continue the services of Mr, Barnard, some addition must be made to his presont salary, in order to enable him to provide additional ^rical distance,—a demand which appears to be but reasonable, reference being had to the amount of work tranweted by him.

Tho present arrangement is probably the most economical, so far u the actual coat of Agency IS concerned; and as the Home Gorernment is in some sort tbe guarantee of Mr. Barnard, tbe Colony hu a better security for tbe money which it IS necesitary to send to England for the purchase of Stores than it could have were nnvale Agents employed; on the other hand, the probability is, that business will be more carefully executed by Agonte who will look forward to cousUnt employment

»i"i who will not be willing to risk the loss of a profitable basinoss by an attempt to make undue profits out of wiy partieulsr trana- aetiOD.

The Governor General, therefore, after having given the subject due consideration, is disMscd to recommend that the arrangement by which Mr. Barnard acU u Agent to tbe Colony of New South Wales, should tenninateso soon u the ncoenary 8t«{s for that purpose can be taken. That so much of the duty at present performed by him sa relates to the payment of Interest on Debentures, and the Salaries and Penaions of Officers residing in England,—in fact all purely monetary transaotioos should be managed by the Banking House or Houses through whose agency the Government way arrange to raise such Loans, in tbe English market, as my be required for the service of the Colony; and that such Stores and other articles as it nisy bo necessary to purchase in England should be procured in tho ordinary a through the medium of Mercantile Houses in the Coiony.Gi/etrnment lloust,

^ With reference to the Addrm of the Conneil of the 5th inatant, the (tovernor General fully concurs in tho opioion expreasod aa to tbe adrantagee which might result from the cstabliahment of a Nanlicsal School Such a School, if properly conduotej, would be productive of many beneita, not merely to the Mercantile and Shipping intoreats, but to aociety at large. It would, however, be more likely to succeed were it to form part of aome general Edneatiooal ayatem, and were it not iniprespcd with the citaracter of a charitable inatitnlion—a character which would have the effect of cloaing it againat the ebildren of mpeetable parenta.

The Report which ie now before tbe Council relative to tbe working of the Asylum for Deatilnte Obildren, would not lead to the infcreoco that an elcemoaynary cstabliahment of tho kind would be likely to producevery aaliafactory rcaulta.

In deference, however, to the expreaacd wiah of tbe Council, tbe Governor General will give directions for tbe inaertion upon the Estimatea for 1856 of a *um of £2000, for tho pnrchaae and fitting up of a Ilntk, and of a further sum of £1000 for the current expenaea of the Nantical School, on condition that an equal amount will be contributed from private sourooa.Gf^trnmeni Houtt,

<?oi»emor Gentral.Tbe sum of j£500, wbioh was placed npon the Estimates for 1856 as tho

I.EGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

TUESDAY, 11 DECEMBER, 1866.

]. OouDcil met pursuant to adjouroraent; the Speaker took the Chair.Messages:—The following Jfcsaagcs from Ilia Exocllencj tbe OoTerner General received

and read:—(1.) Colonial Arcbitcct'a Department;—W. DENISON. No. 112.

Guternnr (ifneral.The Governor General has read the lleport of tbe Seleet Comuiittce on the

Colonial Architect s Department, which was transmitted with the Address of the Council of the 27lh Novembor, together with the Eridepco upon which thia Report was based._ _ 2. The faeU which have been elicited by the Committee, during the course ofits investigation, have confirmed the opinion of the Governor General as to tho state of the Department; but although Sir William Denison was certain that much laxity must necessarily prevail in a Department ao inefficiently organiied, he did not anticipate that theec irregularitiea would have assumed the shape which they appear to have done in the case of the Dead llou.sn, where a direct fraud has been practised upon tho Government. Care will be taken to punish the parties concerned in this fraud.

3. The utter inefficiency of the Department of tbe Colonial Architect to cope with tbo amount of work thrown upon it, was brought by tbe Governor General under the notice of the Council' on the 19th day of June, in a Message referring to the constitution of a Board of W'orks. In tbe .Memuraudum addressed to the Executive Council, a copy of which accompanied the Message above alluded to, it was distinctly stated, “ that the Department bf the Colonial Architect, as now con" stituted, ii not capable of dealing properly with tho amonnt of work which the " charge of the Public Buildings alone wonld entail upon it.” The effect of placing the suMrintendence of tbe Roads and Bridges in the hands of an officer whose duties were already too extensive, could only be to compel him to neglect some of his duties, or to perform the whole inefficiently.

4. Provision was therefore made for relieving the Colonial Architect from a portion of tbe responsibility which wss overwhelming him, for giving him additional aasislance, and for increasing the salaries of the Officers under him—upon whom a heavy responsibility was imposed \ and although the Council baa not given its sanction to the arrangement for relieving tho Colonial Architect of a portion of his duties, yet, M means have been placed at tbe disposal of the Government for the purpose of increasing the strengtu of tbe Staff of the Department, and of adding to tbe salaries of the Officers employed, the Governor General is willing to hope that it will be in his power to introduce a system more perfect in its arrangement than that which now exists; though ho cannot hold out to the Council a prospect of securing a real and effective responsibility in the llesd of the Department, nntil the amount of the work placed under his immediate control can be reduced.

6. With regard to tho dismissal of the Chief Clerk, Mr. Henry Chapman, which is, in tbe opinion of the Committee, imperatively called for, the Governor General must obeerve that be he has failed to discover in the Evidence, as printed, any such testimony to official dcUnqncncies, on the part of Mr. Chapman, as would justify the summary dismissal of an officer who hss served the Government for so many years, and to whose good coudnci, in official matters, tho Heads of the Department have home positive testimony.

6. The Governor General will, however, cause an inquiry to he made into the conduct of Mr. Chapman, as well as into that of the other Officers of the Department, and should the reanit of the inquiry load to the belief that they have (either individually or collectively) misoondueted lliemselvcs, they will be brought before tbe Executive Council, where they will have an opportunity of defence or explanation, and, if the offence be proved, they willbe pnniabed according to the nature and desreo of their delinquency.
