HE'LL GATE RoCKs.-A Government survey of
the dangerous rocks at He'll Gate and the mouth of
Harlem River has just been completed by Lieut.
Woodruff, who has gone to Washington to report
his abors Little Hurl Gate is Obstructed by rock
in the middle of the channel If this rock were
removed, and some work done on three small shoals
vessels could pass through it, and thus relieve the
Large Gate during crowded state of that water.
In the survey Of the mouth of Harlem River, Lieut..
woodruff ascertained that the remains of the stone
piers of an old bridge extending from New York
Island to Wards Island, are lying in the water
beneath its surface, obstructing the channel and
endangering navigation. These rocks could be
removed for small sum. Lieut.. Woodruff ex-
presses the opinion that both Little Hurl Gate and
the mouth of Harlem River could be made of safe
navigation for the small sum of $4,000 or S9O90-a
triiing amount, compared with the importance of
the work. ''Pot Rock" which is the cause of
half the numerous disasters in Hurl Gate, he
thinks can be blown to pieces for $1,000. He sug-
gests an iron tripod to be affixed to the rock which
Is of conical shape, and on this tripod to erect
staging on which the wOrkmen could operate with
a drill in the rock below, and penetrate in to the
depth of forty feet, with shaft eight inches in
diameter, in which could be inserted a metal tube,
and this supplied with heavy charge of gunpow-
der, and the whole rock removed by one blast.
We hope Government will take immediate mea-
snres to carry out these suggestions.-Ne,O York
Tribune

IMPORTANT VERDICT.-A case of importance to
the commercial world has just been decided before
Judge Sanford, in the Superior Court of New
York; The facts are briefly these Isaac N. Mil
bank entrusted Dennistoun & Co.. commission
merchants, Liverpool, England, with the disposal
of 5000 barrels of -four, instrucing that it should
not be sold until the reduction of duty had had
time to produce its natural result on prices Dem
nistoun d Co., however, sold the flour before the
had they kept it on hand three weeks longer,
it would have brought 29s Milbank therefore
brought an action against Messrs. Dennistoun &
Co. to recover the difference Of amount lost through
their disobedience of his ORDERS and after careful
hearing of the case, the jury decided in his favor
by giving verdict against Dennistoun q Co. for
Sll ,l36. This decision is of much importance, as
Implying that Il factor cannot dispose of goods
imprudently, without becoming responsible for
their highest value

RAIIsaOAD BETWEEN THE TENNESSEE AND ALA
BAMA RIvERs-A large convention has just been
held at Selma, Ala, for the purpose of advancing
the work of connecting North Alabama and Ten
nessee with Mobile by railroad About five hun
bred delegates were in attendance. Senator VIM.
R. King was President of the Convention. Flo.
qnent speeches were made, barbecue was given
by the citizens of Selma, and the delegates were
treated throughout with the most generous hospi-
tality. The Convention adjourned to meet in Mo-
bile at some day TO be named hereafter The Mo-
bile Advertiser says doubt is entertained that the
road will be speedily commenced and pushed to an
early completion In three years, at farthest, the
Tennessee and Alabama rivers will be connected
by railroad.
