 After a suspension of dredging for the foundation of the piers of the new drawbridge for several weeks, Con tractor Geary has succeeded in getting the appliances of Boston Dredging company on the ground and the hrst lot of material dredged was lowed down the harbor by the tug J. J. Hogan or Evarts' line, yesterday morning. The dredge and scows came around from Newport but were detained several days from leaving owing to the bad weather, which prevented the tow from rounding dangerous Point Judith. When the previous dredging contractor threw up his job he had excavated thirty feet below the river bed for the center pier and the digging is to be twelve feet deeper; and the area for the two rest piers is to be excavated. The first work was done by the Jack son, owned by a Jersey contractor. Another dredged worked for Contractor Falcon, who is laying the water mains so three different dredging plants have been employed of late in the Quinnipiac river.
