The Dnnmore, a splendid new steamer, belonging to Glasgow, and plying between Plymouth and Belfast, which went on the rocks in a fog at Baliyqulnttn Point, near Portaferry, County Down, baa been satisfactorily got off. At first two steam-tugs endeavored to remove her; but they failed, as she was

then tried to blast the rocks away i but this was not found to bo satisfactory. Captain Anderson, the skilled Superintendent for the underwriters Association, then applied to Mr Robert McConkey, of Bonaghadee. who has lately returned from the JOanub*, where he was engaged removing a steamer for the European Commission, which was sunk between Vienna and Sulina, and where be used large quantities of dynamite and blasting gelatine with complete success. Captain Anderson obtained six quarrymen to drillholes in the rocks at low water, close along the starboard side. The holes were made from Bin to 15in deep, and into each from 2ozto Soz of dynamite and blasting gelatine were put. and when fired the rocks were satisfactorily shattered without the skin of the vessel being injured. After some days’ work some hundreds of tons of the projecting rocks were thus cleared away. Timber logs were placed underneath the keel of the steamer, so as to support her when the rocks were cut away. After the jagged rocks on the starboard side |were removed, Captain Anderson directed tbe vessel to be canted over at high water into the dock prepared for her, so as to rest on timber logs. This was done by the aid of tackling from the fore and main masts to anchors placed at the starboard side of the vessel upon rocks about 500 ft distant. When the vessel was turned over, the rocks on the other side were cut away in a similar manner to allow the ship carpenters to bolt a strong wooden sheeting, where the holes were made, and caulked them up, so as to be water-tight. A t high water, by aid of her own engines and two steam-tugs, the Dunraore was safely got off and taken to Glasgow for repairs. There were upwards of 140 shots of dynamite and blasting gelatine fired in the rocks, close to tbe skin of the vessel and her keel, none of wuich did the vessel the least harm, and the total weight of explosives used was only 701 b. The whole work was carried out in the most satisfactory manner under Captain Anderson's directions, who thoroughly understands the use of dynamite, having used it with great success, previously, in cutting away the rocks from underneath the s.s. City of Venice, which ran on the North Bock, near Cloughey. County Down, about three years ago.—“ Belfast Northern Whig.'
