The Hemingray Glass Company Works are still in the water. A force of men are engaged cleaning up. It will be at least six or eight weeks before they will be in full blast again. The Green-house may start in three or four weeks. The furnaces have all settled, owing to their foundations of limestone, which have crumbled and given away. We understand they will all have to be taken down and rebuilt. The firm's loss will be considerable.
