CLEARING UELL-GATE.

bill is Low before the Legislature OF this
State TO Incorporate certain persons under the
iiilt OF The Hell Gate Navigation Company, -
With capital Of 100000, and the power of in
creasI the same 10 $500, 900. This bill WAS re
ferred to Committee of the House to repor:
complete and in few minutes thereafter it was
reported complete, without the members Of the
House knowing the character OF the bill, and be-
fore its merits could be discussed. The bill was
then Immediately ordered 10 a third reading,
Hh.ItbJ discussion was impossible. We have
heretofore endeavored, in vain, t, obtain copy
Of tbs document, bat this morning are enabled
to Jay it 10 full before our readers.
TIE Company propose to clear the channel of
Hell Gate from all obstructions, and ask Ia return
that they may be empowered to collect from all
sailing vesstls of over sixty tuns, passing through
Hell Gate toll Of two cents per tun, and from
eli steamboats, over 500 tuns, half cen per tun ;
.hi, tight of evyiDg toll to be guar aneed to them
for the term Of 10 years. Some conception of
the importance Of this project may be arrived as
wher We state that tie tolls thus collected would
smoutt 20 over $3.50 600 year. We learn
from un1Cubted authority that on the average,
300 ytsstle Of 100 suns each pass every day
through Hell Gate. The tax would fall most
heavily upon the four Eis!ern Steamboat Com
psbies, who, il this measure should become q
law, would be liable for tolls to the average
amount Of $4,000 year each, while they would
derive no substantial benef: in return. Tne
charter would be invalid as regards vessels be
Ion gipg to other States, unless Congress should
consent to the measure. Thertf fore, il the law
il enforced, it will probably resul: in tai upon
the vessels of this City. Long leland and West
chester; and, under the severe existing competi-
tion with their North Eastern neighbors, the toll
might drive the former frem the coasting bust.
LES altogether. Connecticut, Massachusetts,
aid Rhode Island have demonstrated against the
passage Of this bill and yesterday the Ch,noer
Of Commerce Of this City did the same.
There can be no dispute that the improvement.
which the projectors Of this bill c,nten 2la.e will
te Gle OF great value to the public. By render
irg shat chsbLel nayigable to vessels of the
lsTgest size, the expense Of pilo.4gs and the
leigh Of the passage, for ships bound 70 and from
Europe, will be greatly diminished. The recent
removal of the central rock 10 an average dep:h
OF 90 feet has, however, removed all serious dan
ger from the passage for all the vessels tia. nov
navigate the Sound. This was done by the mer-
eli ants of this City from their own pockets, re-
lying solely for remuners ion upon the justice OF
tie General Government. The accidents which
now occur are so few that the great steamers
plying between this port aud S!oLingtOn. Nor
wich, New Haven and FallRiver are no. ia-
sured, the Companies deeming the difficulties
and dangers of He'll Gate and the Sound too
irconsideraSle to warrant such an outlay.

mirality for the Black Sea before the
construction Of Sobastopol, and, with
characteristic tenacty. the cabinet of
st. Petersburg fall back upon the second
line of defence.
Reports are circulated Of design to
reconstruct the imperial fleet on a gigan-
tic scale, but these reports are simply
ridiculous, inasmuch as when it was in
the height of its strengh and efficiency
the only use made Of the ships was to
sink them. If new ships are really con-
structed or launched at NicholeaH. the
only object they can be intended to serve
Is to figure in the terms of negotiation
whenever the na7al power of Russia is
discussed at the peace. Nicholaicf and
not Sebastorol, has all along been the
Russian arsenal of construction all the
Black Sea mcn-ofwar are built there,
though the draught of water in the es-
tuary of the Bug and the mgul is so
shallow that these vessels are hoatcd
down to the sea unarmed and on camels.
1t remaius TO be seen whether the
mortar vessels Of the allied squadrons
can ascend to the dockyard-a point on
which great doubt is entertained but
there is no doubt that passage exists
for vessels of any size between the
forts Of Kimbourn and Oczakow.
and that if this passage can be forced it
places he mouths Of Dnieper and she
Bug at our command We cannot doubt
that the attention Of the Almirals has
long since been directed to benorihwest
angle of the Black Eca. where. with
distance of forty miles Of cost. lie Oldes
sa. Oczlkow, and the establishments Of
Nicholaieif and Cherson. No operations
OF any importance have been attempted
there. yet that point is now becoming ono
ofthe most important sirategical positions
to be observed in the future conduct of
the war
The siege of Ozcakow by Prince Po-
temkin, in l7S5 was, in its way, little
siege of Sebastorol. for it lasted six
months. and 40 600 men pcri,hed before
its walls The name of Ozcak0w is al
50 memorable for display of Russian
sympathy by Mr. Fox, which has hard
" been surpassed in our own days by
Mr. Gladstone or Lord John Russell
But the great fortress which bore that
name has long been dismantled. and tho
town was reduced to "A few f.hing huts
1t is probable, however, that measures
have now been taken by the Russians to
strengthen the defence Of this important
gu!let.

will do the impossible. But to tell
you the truth, my heart blecds, for
see that by this event the progress of
civilization has been stopped on two
points. First, in the West, Louis Ma.
poloon is fortified and the ablectnees of
the French increased--in whose eyes,
with very few exceptions, the least
glare Of military glory sufficcs for lib>
erty, honor, mortality, and real nation
al dignity; and then in the East,
where, in spite Of all that is said to
the contrary, Russia was an agent Of
civilization, and where Russia alone
could and can fill that Office.
The Cars have received a fearful
2 .unishmcnt for having followed for
more than twenty years past German
ard not a Russian policy; for med>
ding With European squabbles; for
marching into Hungary in 1849instead
Of taking Constantinople in 1S48, az
Russian Interests demanded at time
when nobody could have opposed it.
1t is a terrible lesson by which they
will profit. You are young, and you
will live long enough, [ am sure, to
see Russia rise again. Her latent
forces arc 100 great to be broken by
even this terrible blow. AS for ne,
I have nothing but the petty consol-
alton of seeing the great Kossuth
hoorcd. II even last year Russia or
Nicholas had had the courage to make
an appeal to the Sclavos of Southern
Europe, where now would Austria bo
with or without her allies?
