LENox, Oct. 16.
PowER OF GUNPowDER. On Wednes-
day last the Messrs. Boyntons of West
Stockbridge, while engaged in uncovering
body of mai BILE, discovered hole in the
rock, which, upon examination, proved to
he about Is feet deep, penetrating in near
ly perpendicular direction. Its diameter
at top was about Is inches, narrowing to-
wards the bottom to aaout inches.s This
hole they determined to charge with gun
powder, in order to raise up the strata of
marble. They accordingly poured into the
in the manner usually practised in blasting.
Upon firing it the effect produced was truly
astonishing. The earth trembled as though
shaken by an earthquake. The trees IN
the immediate vicinity Of the powder seem
ed to rise several feet in the air, bowing
gracefully from side to side as if tossed up
on blllow. The mass of marble, which
was raised, is about 50 or go feet square on
the surface, and 8 feet thick, weighing by
measurement upwards Of 1000 tons. This
was probably the greatest effect ever pro-
duced by gunpowder in this vicinity.
INDIAN Treaty.. The Michigan Herald
says" We learn from a gentleman who
accompanied Gov. Cass and Col. Menard,
the Commissioners appointed to treat with
the Indians at the st. Joseph, that an i'm
portant purchase of land has been effected,
lying partly in this territory and partly in
Indiana. The quantity is supposed to he
about 100000 acres, of the first quality,
well watered, and Astounding in fine pra-
RE. This purchase completes the cession
of lndian title to all their lands in this ter
ritory, south Of Grand River, and all in the
State of Indiana, east of the Kaukakee
The Potawatamies are very friendly and
well disposed. There were upwards OF
1000 of them at the treaty"
ABDUL RAHAMAN. This captive prince has
been in this city the past week. We under
stand he found, in the neighborhood of this city
an aged countryman of his, formerly slave
and that they conversed with great animation
on incidents and persons well recollected by
each. On Abdnhs asking whether the other
remembered such a battle, 90, yes, said he,
was in it, under the command ofyour father"

SUBMARINE NAVIGATION. A late French
paper informs us that the Minister Of Marine
has inspected machine invented and pa
tented by M. des hndelves, by which he
thinks he has obviated the difficulties here
tofore encountered in attempts at submarine
navigation. The imprisoned air is made to
assist in moving the boat on the surface and
beneath the water, and to supply an atmos-
phere in which the persons employed can
breathe. 1t is greatly compressed, so that
cubic foot contains 60 feet; and small
quantities oft are allowed to escape through
valve. When necessary, the boat may be
raised to the surface for fresh supply.
A public experiment was shortly to he made
to test the performance of the machine.
