HELL GATE’s OpsTRUCTIONS.—It now seems probable that the obstructions to the free navigation of Hell gate will not be re- moved by @ great explosion on the 4th of July as they were intended to be. There is a great amount of work yet to be accom- plished, and the balance of the old appropria- ton is not sufficient to warrant the employ- ment of sufficient numberof men to com- plete the work by Independence Day. The whole force now engagcu on the excavations does not exceed 150, including clerks and others not_ employed in the actual duties of Mining. The men who are employed at the excavations are kept busily engaged, so far as what remains allow, ard the sides of vidi walis and portions of the roof are being drilled for the reception of the explosive mat Ex- cavations were some time aco commenced at Flood Rock, one of the most dangerous of the Hell Gate obstructions. tunnel fifty-five feet long, Flaine | the bed of the East River, has inished, Spa eet tunnels are being planned.—{.¥, Y. | ‘evald, 1st.
