The Explosion at Hell Gate,

The great explosion at He'll Gate il
now certain to take place during the lat
ter part OF September, and contrary t,
reports which nave been generally cir.
culated the entire mass of rock will bt
demolished by one terrific explosion
The work OF tunneling and boring il
now ended, and nothing remains undone
| except the preparation and insertion O
the cartridges.
The tunnels radiating from the mair
| shaft, and likewise those crossing them
are all cleared out, leaving the upper
| crust OF rock supported on one hundred
and seyenty-tWo piers, each eight feel
square, but varying in height iron
twenty feet near the shaft to ten OF
twelve feet near the outer circum 'er
ence. In the roof OF rock thus formed
thirty.tive hundred holes have been
bored in an upward direction, ranging
in depth from three to eleven feet, with
uniform diameter of three incues.
These holes will be the receptacles
of the explosive material, which
will be dynamite where the rock
is the hardest and ordinary
vulcan powder where the superin.
cumbent mass is more friable and easier
to blow to pieces. AS the floor OF the
tunnel slopes 0utwards from depth of
thirty-two feet to forty feet below low
water, and the depth Of water required
Ior navigation in the neigh borhood of
New York is only twenty-six feet at
mean low water, IL is plain that after the
explosion and the subsequent dredging
there will be ample room for the largest
ships in the world to reach New York
Bay through The waters of the Sound,
and thus make saving of time on the
voyage to and from Europe.
NltFo-glycerine was tor a time con.
tempiated as the most suitable eXplo-
slve agent; but on mature consideration
it was rejected, not only as being too
dangerous IN The manufacture, but also
because some of the charges are liable to
slip out OF the holes prepared for them,
and in such an event nitro -gly cerIue
would be liable to explode prematurely.
| Dynamite, which is composed of twenty.
five per cent. of clay and seVenty-fve
per cent. of nitro-glycerine, Was finally
selected; and il is calculated that each
charge will break up twenty cubic

thousand cubic yards in the entire mass

LlOn Oh GHe hafeHSWoOu FoaQ. In thlS
cnamb ber will be placed at least two hun
dred galvanic-baJteries of the pattern
known as Groves, and each of these
will explode from seventeen to twenty
charges. A most ingenious scheme has
been devised, by which all these bat
teries will be brought into action AT the
same time, and thus complete circuit
be formed, setting off the entire three
thousand five hundred charges together,
and utterly destroying the great plateau
OF rock which has made Hell Gate so
dangerous to navigation.

A Dream That Was not All a

The W0onsocket { h. l. Patriot says
"Early on Friday morning last Mr., Hall,
a butcher, OF Franklin, Mass, went into
his lce-chest TO inspect the premises,
when the door accIdently swung back,
operating the sprlng-loCk, and the man
was prisoner in very small room, of
icy temperature, and without means of
escape. A speedy and frIgntlul death
thumped upon what promised 10 be his
coffin, but all in vain. Now comes the
marvellous part of the circumstances.
When MIR. HalPs son arose on that morn

dream which he had during the previous
