DEATH OF VENERABLE JERsErNAN-We
mourn to-day the loss of another venerable citizen
in the death of JOB. S. HALsTED, who died at his
residence in Sussex County on Saturday, having
attained the good old age of three score and ten.
Mr.. II. was never, we believe, in public life,
but he has been an honorcd member of the Bar
Of New Jersey for near half century; and we
should do violence TO our sense of what Is due to
eminent private worth if we were to let the occa-
sion pass without at least remarking, that few
men could ever have fulfilled with more scrupu'
lOus fidelity the social and civil duties of thus al
lotted period Of human life, than our lamenled
friend-ever beloved and honorcd for the distin-
gushing virtues of the patriot and the Christian.

THE SUB MARINE BATTERY.-An immense con-
course of spectators, not less, apprehend,
than fifteen thousand men, women, and children,
witnessed the experiments on the Eastern Branch
which were made by Mr.. Colt, with his Sub
Marine Battery last Saturday evening, about
FIVE o'clock. The contiguous hills wharves,
shores, bridges, buildings, and trees were all fully
manned. Two steamers loaded with passengers
and number Of small boats were also seen
keeping, however, at respectful distance, in the
Eastern Branch. Two or three minor explosions
were exhibited before the seamen on board the
doomed ship made their exit, which they ef-
fected amidst the deafening cheers Of the multi
tude, whose eyes were all turned towards the
doomed ship She moved slowly, in sailing
ORDER along the Navy Yard channel, and in
few minutes after leaving her mooring place blew
up with a grand explosion which raised the bow
Of the vessel completely out of the water, and
scattered her fragments in various directions. 1t
would seem that the explosion was made little
too soon, as, had the battery struck the vessel
minute later, she would have been completely de-
stroyed-" leaving no wreck hehind.'
The experiment, however, we suppose. may be
considered as eminently successful in its result,
showing,as it did most completeythe tremendous
power Of the Sub. Marine Battery, when applied
to blow up the ships of an invading enemy in
their approach along rivers and harbors.
