GUTTA PE CIA WATNR-PIPE.— A, Gotta Ptrcha
pipe of two and a half inches calibre, and 1,000 feet in length,
has been laid down for conveying the Croton water to Black-
well's island, New York. The line extends from, the foot of
Seventynituh-street to the island, the depth of the water
varying 'horn thirty to seven feet. The engineer first ar-
ranged his pipe in one length upon the island, and formed a
line of thirty boats, well manned, across the river. He then
gave his order at the commencement of slack water, and the
end of the pipe was drawn amss the river by men upon the
opposite shore, and was taken up by the men in the boats,
and one, hundred and ten anchors, each weighing thirty-
pipe, being ten
two pounds, were attached to the •
feet apart. By word of command the men in the boats
lowered at each point to suit the inequalities in the bed of
the fiver, as ascertained by previous survey. This was all
accomplished in seven and one half minutes, without acci-
, dent.—New raper.
The liargrieve cotton factory, at Duntocher, near
Glasgow, was burnt down on Noziay night. The loss is es-
