ATRR QUARRIES.—The vast improve.
TIIs j3BEA"rthe mode of blasting limestone rock in

water, small quantities of rock were
only blasted at a
andtSriimteua;r4er e evenfirst opened,
th e n te operation wag one not altogether
free from danger to the men engaged in it. The march
of improvement has, however, not been lacking in this
department of mechanical labour, and year after year
has therefore witnessed a progression in it. But our
readers will, nevertheless, be surprised to find that last
week, with a charge of one hundred weight of powder,
place in a bole in the rock, eighteen feet deep. no less
than one thousand tons of limestone rock were blasted at
one blast, and that, too, without any accident warring
to the man engaged in firing the rock. He was six
hours engaged in the operation, and was seven times
pulled up from the site of the hole to the top of the
quarries before the fire took effect and this huge blast
was made. The result is still in part visible in the ciLuar-
ries.—Plymouth Times.
PEMBROKE DOCK.—In reply to a question asked by
an Hon. Member of the House of Commons, Mr. 'Ward,
the Secretary of the Admiralty, stated that both the
Treasury Lords Commissioners of the Admireaty and
the authorities at the Post-office bad all concurred in the
expediency of at once discontinuing her Majesty's
steam -packets, which at present carry the mail between
Hobbs Point, Waterford, and Drummore. T, ais, when
carried into effect, we have no doubt will eveamo
most
injurious check to the increasing respectability of Pem-
broke Dock, and prove very detrimental to the interests
of the several house-owners, hotel-keepers, itri d trades-
men in the locality. If instead, however, oo
observed
be
these packets, a strict economy wereh tatio-s•
age.nloehrey alsovedin
the several departments, and p
reduced (it being so high at present that few are induced
to visit the sister island), the packets might still remain,
whilst the country would not have to conaplain of a
reckless outlay of 32,0001., and a return of atdout 5001.
