Mr.

B. a Gregory, in the absence of Professor Robinson, reaa an elaborate aud interesting paper last evening before the Society of Practical Engineering, at tne Cooper Institute, on "Deep Sea Sounding and Dredgine," Mr. J. A. Whitney In the, chair.

He said the present century has witnessed advancing with more gisantic strides than at any other period of the -world's history. Through ths agency of steam the ocean has been made the highway of nations, the land is gin with, a neiwort of railroads and civilization is carried to the ends ot the earth. Electricity, tnougn discovered by Taales six hundred years before Christ, has only recently been compelled to ntve forth its power and sustlety for the benefit or man; but as science is as yet ignorant ot the nature of this agent it naa been unable to apply it to macniuery. With geoiosy, zoology and many other sciences deep sea explorations nave ao initiate connect.oS as well as upon navigation and submarine teal graphy. The lead and line was tne device ior deep sea sounding, and it Is sttn use.

The crudeness or me contrivance has, however led ta the pomilar error of a '-bottomless ocean" and to many mistakes--sometimes fatal oues--tn makluz soundings. The success which has attended tae laving of submarine cables has set the erroneous idsa'of an ocean without bottom at rest forever and irivea an imputes to the effort to invent new means or soiladm' sad dredgins.
