The processes used are novel in extended this region, and deserve a notice. The work is being tional government. and is vision of Col. 8. T.

One bed of rock Ww feet below low water maré ts now 17 feet below. The existence mid-channel was owing to its bardness, and While the softer blue gneiss was worn and washed away by the action of the water, these masses of hard rocks the first thing that ts done is to find out where they are, their beight and extent, &c., which is done by sounding with long poles. The diver then goes down and adjusts the drills at seme points where a blast ir desirable. The Grills are worked by two rotary engines upon ® platform which is lowered abd raised with the tice. The drills are cylindrical, made of steel, with rough diamonds inserted in the end. They cut toto the hard rock at the rate of a foot an hour, leaving inside the drill a clean core of cylindrical stone, which is withdrawn and the cberge inserted. These d'amond drills are worth from #400 to ¢800. They make from 5€0 to 1,000 revolutions per minute. BLASTING. After the core is taken ont the diver In- ferts in the hoje @ tin tube filled with nitro- glycerine, which is discbarged by means of an electro-battery. When the blasting is to be done, the entire apparatus is moved at a convenient distance, to prevent ona ana bie damage. On account of the heavy ressure of water, ro rocks haye as yet n thrown to the surface, but the water is thrown to @ considerable height. In con- nection with the drilling engines there are three pumps which force water down the cylinder upon which the ¢rill works to keep the diamon¢e cool and to fore? up the dust. The diamonds never wear, but the steel in which they 2re placed does, and sometimes the diamonds are thus lost. After the rocks are blasted, the diver goes down, fastens a chain around the detached portions, and they &re brought up by @ seven-horse power en- gine. Upon the top of the rock a peller wing was found, which was lost, of course, by some steamer striking the rock; a part of an anchor was also found at the same place. THE DIVERS.

This set is manufac- tured entirely of the finest russet leather, | Slitche@ with silk twist of all colors, which gives it a rich and beautiful appearance. Mr. Motts was engaged in manufacturing the set for many weeks, doing every stitch bimoself, after his regalar working hours, at night. Asaspecimen of fine workmanship and beauty of design, probably there will be nothing of the kind seen at the Centen- nial exbibition that will ual it. Mr. Motts, while in the employ of a large har- ness manufacturing company in this city, made many articles for which his empioyers received prize medals.

Judge MacArthur said he had no doubt butif application was made to the General Term the case would be placed on the calen- dar and a hearing given. Christian Jobanneson, convicted of an as- saulton an efficer, by his counsel, Mr. Ca- bill, applied for a new trial. Judge MacArthur said that there were so many appeal cases brought up and deserted tbat there must be tome check, and he would hereafter not open judgment unless tne costs of the prosecution are paid. Tne defeniant agreed to comply with this order, and a new trial was granted. J. H. Nichols, a former clerk of the Post Office, charged with having, on the 18th of October last, robbed a letter directed to Lynn Moss of $4, was arraigned. Belva A. Lock- wood and A. G. Riddle, esqs., for the de- fendant. The circumstances of this case as related by the witnesses for the prosecution &re about as follows: W.T. Henderson, spe- cial agent, placed the letter in the box, and not finding it in the mail (where it should have been) went into the office and ar- rested Nichois ashe was about leaving the building, and found the money on him. For the defence it is claimed that the defendant in sorting over the letters observed the money fai! out, and picking itup he looked over the letters to see if one of them had been opened, but not finding such letter, he went to the superintendent, but failed to see him. ‘The case was on trial when oyrreport closed.

His counsel waived &n examination, and asked that the bail be fixed at a small amount, in consideration of bis poverty. The court remarked that had the offense been perpetrated on intelligent persons it might affect his judgment, but to cheat these poor ignorant people out of their bard earnings by this deception was to his mind a greater offense, he would fix the bonds at $500 for the grand jury.
