DEAR SIR: have the pleasure to inform
you that Mons. Maiefert has been emineDtly
successful in his submarine operations for re-
moving the rocks from the channel of Hurl
Gate. After firing one hundred and forty-three
containing in all about eight tons
weight Of powder, it is found by accurate sur
vey that he has broken down ten and quarter
feet of " Pot Rock, and extiuguished the whirl-
pool of Hurl Gate. 1t is wonderful achieve
ment and accomplished by the most simple
means. The success Of this operation will be
of incalculable advantage to the United States
and to the commercial world; for the rock that
now obstructs and endangers navigation must
everywhere give way to NJ. Mailleferts new
system Of submarine blastng-of exploding

Facts Concerning Newspapers.

During the past summer, Horace Greeley, of
the New York Tribune, appeared before a com
mittee on newspaper stamps of the British Par
lament, to give such information as he pos
sessed respecting the newspaper press of this
country. We purpose quoting some interest
ing items from his testimony.

1t is expected that in thirty days more Of
good weather, Mons. Maillefert will have re-
moved Pot Rock to the depth Of twenty-four
feet below mean low water, which will render
the Gate of safe navigation or the largest ves-
sells in our naval or mercantile marine.

The present edition this standard and avore Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to 1T
of the classical distinctions of Latin words as
given in the Lexicon of DR.. VIM Freund, of Germany:

Freunds Lexicon has been incorporated into the present
edition of Leverett and will be found valuable acqusi
ton. While transferring these notes and marks cata
ogues carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon which not found in the other. On compar
these catalogues found that the value and i'm
porance of the additional words found in Leveret fa
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned, very
exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Leveretts Lexicon in all parts of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given it all similar works. render its recommends
