[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPEC/ ATOR.1

Sin,—There is an old saying about misfortune coming in threes, and to the destruction at the Avon and Cheddai Gorges referred to in your last issue may I add that now being committed up the Wye Gorge ? Here in the same way mag nificent cliffs are being demolished wholesale, and that foz the Avonmouth Docks. The place indicated lies about two miles above Chepstow, on the east side of the Wye at the tol. of " Longhope Reach." Fortunately some of the neighbour ing cliffs will be saved from destruction, since they form private grounds, and their owner abhors sacrilege to British treasures.

—I am, Sir, &c., GLEVIJM.
