But dearer stil than all the rest,

IMPORTANT UNDRRTAKING.-The New
York Tribune, referring to the obstruc-
tions at He'll Gate, has the following item
about canal which it is proposed shall
be built to avoid the danger ut that point:
w. w. Vanderbilt, late Constructing
Engineer of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, has conceived plan of exca-
vating canal through the promontory
upon which Astoria stands, and thereby
forming straight course from the East
River to the entrance to the Sound, thus
avoiding the crooked and dangerous
channel now used by craft in entering
the Sound from New York and pice persa
At first glance this IS startling PROPOSE
ton, yet upon examination the plan ap-
pears not only feasible. but far more
economical than any yet put for
ward. The work could be accomplished
with certainty. regardless of tide and
weather., and could be completed inside
OF two years, at nm estimated cost of not
exceeding $3,000,000 The channel pro-
poaed would be about two thousand feet
in length, six hundred feet in breadth,
equal to the width between Blackwell's 8
leland and the Long Island shore, and
with depth at low tide of thirty-four
feet, so that vessels of any draft and ton
mage could pass through at all times of
tide. and by night as well as day in per
feet safety. The point cut off from the
main land could be appropriately nsed
for the Sto1age OF petroleum. and like in
hammable stuff, or for variety of other
purposes.
