From the st. Thomas Times, July 24.)

WE mentioned in our Saturdays issue
that the st. Thomas Floating Dock had
been lowered and the Screwship Wye
taken in. At the time that was written
everything was supposed 10 be a success
with the Dock. 1t would however seem
that when it was to be raised it would
not come up and although every means
supposed likely to overcome the cause
that kept it down, was applied, yet there
was no success, and towards the after
noon, the preparations to inaugurate it's
success, had to be set aside, and it was
found necessary to again take the Wye
out, in the hope that the Dock relieved
of her weight, would then come up. Such
however was not the case, and we regret
to say, that 10 the hour of our going to
Press to-day, whatever may have been
done to lift the Dock, has as yet proved
of no avail, and it continues deep down
in the water. Of course with the public,
coniectures are numerous, conflicting, ex-
travagant, and, no doubt, like in all such
matters, many very absurd things are said.
It would therefore be wrong on our part
to attempt to say what may have occur
red TO prevent the Dock coming up.
since the actual cause may not even yet
be known to the Engineers in charge, for
to know what is actually wrong ought to
be a means at once to obviate it. Still
we have heard it said that what is really
wrong is known. Some say it is settled
down on the bottom, and had there been
a greater dept of water it would have
disappeared altogether. Others deny
this and we are not aware what the
Engineers say about it. The cause after
all may be simple or it may be great, that
keeps the Dock down, meanwhile it is
evidently a very unfortunate circumstance"
Whether there is a hope that it will yet
come up, by an expensive process, or
whether it will call for an extensive En-
gineering outlay before it can be got up'
we are unable to say. We wish for the
sake of al. concerned, that it may soon
be raised, and report says that q few
days will produce a good result.

great loss would occur TO the community by the
withdrawal Of physician of such scientific at.

at which resolutions highly lau,latory Of the
Doctors abilities were passed. and committee of
gentlemen appointed TO wait upon him. present
the resolutions. and urge him to give up his in.
tenton OF leaving the State, and continue in his
present position. The arguments of the commit
tee facilitated by certain pecuni"ry propositions,
made ly the directors OF the Institute, have in
duced the Doctor to retain his position as Resi-.

negotiations with satisfaction. as il would have
been difficult for the numerous patients that
