SEA ISLE CITY. From Coast Pilot. It is neodleas to *my that thi* growing seaside city is rapidly a«-quiitng to Itself the desideratum which clianictcri*,-* a city, and ii attaining lo a prom itir tide I of solid prosp«Ti*y. lU foiiiul.-r Mr*. Charles. K. Landb. has proven himself' to he a thorough organiser, and giyep' evidence lh.it nothing will be left uuj .done to bring Sea lsl«- forward from its new but incipient date, to the well established city that he has in vision before hi in. While the fine beach, boat- j ing and fidiing, arc important fecto r» ' which have oontribuled largely towards the nppa.ent mushroom growth of Sea Irie City, the fact must not 1m; lost sight of, tliut the energetic and sueoeiuful bud projector at the head of it. has in- 1 •wired con fide nc \ Sea I«de flr.t attract- , ed notice iu tha spring of 1881.

A 8PAKK FROM TUE8EA SIDE. In the rapid growth of our City by the Sea, we can already boast of mauy handsome and commodious structure* ; among those we would call attention to Prospect Hall. This b«*autifiil and we: I imnged hou*e has just l*eeti completed and b now ready for gumta. > It is situated .hi ilia highest land oti ( the Island, facing the suif, at the corner o! Ludlam street.

p j SEA ISLE CITY, Ladlaa Islaud, A. J. ENGINEER'S REPORT. } bea tola Cuy b located ou tbe Atbatic Ocran, oo Ludlam lriacd, <m tba ooast of Now Jorsry, 39*f7' £ latl-tudo, and 74'4f E. longitude, 60 mila«iw*titjU east from I'biladrlpliia, oxad Mj miieu by rail. Ii k lh oiiba uorthosil from Dape May, and about (La sama da Unrc from Atlantic City. Tha maati temperalure of LudUa bland does not vary much from that of Atlantic Cily, which fc H* I. The humidity of tha atmosphere is similar to that of Atlantic City, boreg aqually dry. and salubrious. |( U w«ll • located for both a winter snd sumnwr resort , on account of its climatic advantages. The bland b 6} miles tn length, and varies from 4 to 1| miles in wadtk, exlecding from Corson's Inlet, on lU I north, to Townsend's inlet, on tha south, and is surrounded by tha Atlantic Ooran, Ludlrtu Bt} and a naragabla ► channel called tha 'j horuughfare, furnishing excellent advantages for fish-, ing, sailing and Stillwater Lathing. A beach 160 feet wide extends tha entire length of tha bbnd. gently •helving, of very hard, eloseqackad •and, affording a fins natural dtivo If* more than 6 miles, and unusual facilities for walkiug and bathing, which are not excelled, by any watering place on tba ooast. In walking, or driving, indentation b made upon tha sand, affording, in this respect, a striking contrast to many other beaches, where the sand b louse and treacherous. Tha advantages the beach affords lo* bathing, are excellent, tLere being no underdo* ji reeptible, and in tha respect peculiar. Th# bottom descends •o gradually, that shallow water axtend* a great dblsnce from the shore. In bathing, no ropes are required, and I It Is safa for women and children. It b rofticiently north of Delaware Bay to be I entirely free from tha mud of tha bay, *r.«i bathing can always be bad in dean, clear water. Th# ''fast land" of the bland consists of low bilb and ridges, with level portions of sand, which are found by actual survey to vary from 5 leet to 27 fuel, the Ligbest in elevation, above high water. The meadow lands are never oeee flowed by high water, except by storm tides, which are of rare occurrence. Tbe abundance of game and fish »w tbe vicinity has made tha bland tor years a favorite resort of sportsmen. The inland bay, known as Ludlam Bay, affords *•(• stall-water bathing, having a gently shelving shore, and slso safe yachting, and abounds tn f»b, system, crabs, clams, Ac. One portion j of it b only 1200 fret from tbe sea beach, so that on one side suri bathing can be had. and upon tbe other aide still-water bathing. The site selected for Sea Isle Oty w on tha northern half of tha Island ; extending to tha centre and than southwardly ll will have a frontage on the Allan tic of three mile*, and extend inland to Ludlam Bay and the Thoroughfare, along wlrioh it is practicable, sad it is prnftosed to lay out and construct a carriage drive for tha distance of mora than two miles. It is projiosed to protect the Cits from high tide, by a substantial ore wall on the two sides moat exposed, and by embankments oa the remaining •idea, which can be done at a moderate expense, considering the economical and other advantages. Absolute security will thus be obtain •d against encroachments bv the mw, that nave occasioned much damags at Ope May, Atlantic City, Monmouth Beach, Manhattan Beach, and other places. No other seaside resort at the present time, has tbe protection that h ; proposed for thb place. llie Island is uninhabited ; there j being no hmtses on it except tare Got- { eminent Station*, and no com pools ; the way is dear for carrying into operatson a thorough system of sanitary regulation ; such as you propose under the supervision of an efficient and experienced sanitary engineer. The Island can be vwiy easily eonnected with the Weed Jaraey R. IL, bv a short branch read from 4| to 6 tuilea in lencth, there befog but a narrow Thoroughfare lo erasas with a bridge A Government Light house should ha j ^ established on this Island, as numerous wrecks here occurred on it, snd by a little expense on the part of goveew j men t iff th* construction of jetties, two excellent harbore run be established aa j the north end south ends of lbs island, at OnreonS and T*w»«r>nd*% • Inlets, which would become important commercial points by eoaoeotion with re tro# d. and a safe refuge for vim*Ii ia Tbe plan ewe whfoh vow propose to I lay out the City b calculated to tub serve the purpoees of coareaienes^ I health and baeaty . With proper railroad fhoilitlea, and : lots offered at a reasonable pnoe, I da | not see why thi* place should not bosom# as great a reaort as Atlantic dty, by reason of its proximity to Philadelphia, and the cha merer a t the beech. And when the rent rare qui stfon w taken fole consideration, a plana of seen greater resort The Wet Jersey Retimed mat mstrs the same time to 8a* Isle Otv Rum Philadelphia, as la Atlantic City.
