Considerable interest has been excited in consequence of a human skeleton having been dug up on Tues day, the Sth inst., by the labourers at work in Catherine street, near the main road, Holloway. That it is the relics of a criminal there is no doubt, as the gibbet-irons in which they were encased were nearly perfect ; and had care been taken, the skeleton might have been taken out complete, as it,lay only two feet from the surface. The spot of which Catherine-street is the site, was formerly called " Ring cross," and the oldest inhabitants remember their ances tors relating the circumstances of a gibbet being erected thereon. This, with other circumstances hereafter stated, clearly prove that the bones must have lain there up wards of a century. By referring to documents from the archives of New gate, it appears that for the last 150 years only two male factors have been hung in chains at Holloway, of whom the following is a brief account : John Price (formerly the Jack Ketch) was convicted in May, 1718, of the murder of Elizabeth White, the wife of a watchman in Moorfields, aftei attempting to commit a rape on her person ; for which offence he was executed on the last day of the same month in Bunhill-fields. It is recorded of the culprit, that he denied the commis sion of the offence until lie arrived at the gallows, when he acknowledged that he committed it while in a state of inebriety. It is said that on this occasion an immense crowd collected to see the public executioner undergo him• self the awful sentence of the law. After his body had hunr the usual time, it was conveyed to . Holloway, and fixed upon a gibbet, previously erected for another male factor. This circumstance, compared with the following state ment, shows pretty clearly that the skeleton which has been for several days exhibited at the Coach and Horses, Holloway, is that of the defunct executioner. The only other instance upon record took place six years before Price was executed. It is this :—Wm. Johnson and Jane Housden were executed opposite the Old Bailey Sessions-house, (for the murder of Mr. Spurling, a turn key), on the 19th of Sept. 1712. The prisoner (Housden) was brought into the Sessions house to take her trial for coining, when Johnson (her paramour) wished to speak to her, but was refused by Mr. Spurling, until the trial was over ; whereupon Johnson drew forth a pistol and shot the turnkey dead, in the pre sence of the court and spectators. The Judge abandoned the charge of coining against Housden, and as she had abetted Johnson, they were put to the bar on the charge of murder, and immediately convicted. Notwithstanding hundreds of persons were witnesses of the diabolical act, the prisoners, even at the place of execution, denied the com mission. The body of the male convict was hung in chains on a gibbet erected on purpose at Holloway, midway be-; tween Islington and Highgate. . . The Earl of Harewood gave a grand dinner o n . Friday,--at his reuidenee in Hanover-square, to a nume rous party. On Thursday arrived the transports Louisa, Lieutenant James Barber, and Lord Suffield, Lieutenant Chalmer in 44 days from Jamaica, the former bringing the last de tachment of the 92d regiment, the latter ten officers, and naval and army invalids, from the station. We are happy to hear, that, when those vessels sailed, the island, troops, and squadron, were'in good health. The following officers returned home in the Lord Suffield :--Major Longden, 33d regiment; Captain Crofton, 91st regiment; Ensign Fentrick, "71st regiment; Lieutenant Leake, and Lieute nant Crebbin, R.M. late of the Druid ; Lieut. M'Lean, who was so miraculously saved, with one seaman only, when the Magpie schooner was upset (the Admiralty pro moted both survivors—Mr. M'Lean to his present rank, and the seaman to be a gunner) : Mr. Bellamy, master, late of the Espiegle ; and Mr. Stuart, assistant-surgeon, in charge of the invalids. The Barham, (Admiral Fleming) from Plymouth and Madeira, arrived at Barbadoes on the 4th of April, and sailed for Jamaica on the 6th. The Barham landed 50,000/. in silver, and 5,000/. in copper, for the use of the army at the Leeward Islands. This evening arrived the Jupiter transport, Lieut. Green, Agent, in five weeks, from New Providence. She left Jamaica with invalids and limited service men, on the Qd February. She has brought a large cargo of turtle. The undermentioned Commanders are appointed to Flag ships and Guard-ships, in conformity with the recent or der, to do the duty of First Lieutenants:— Commanders—Thomas Monck Mason, Victory; George Kitchener, Melville; Richard Streatfield, Wellesley; Rich ard Bruce, Revenge; John Foote, Britannia; William Richardson, Windsor Castle ; F. J. Lewis, Ocean ; James M'Donald, Gloucester; R. Dickinson, Genoa; Sir Rich ard Grant, Hussar; and Alexander A. Sandilands, Semi ramis. We are informed that all the First Lieutenants who were displaced by Commanders, have been promoted to the rank of Commander. The oldest Lieutenant, on all foreign stations, was pro moted, on Saturday last, to the rank of Commander. _ _ We are informed that the scale for the sale of Captains' Commissions of the Royal Navy will shortly be promulgated. We understand that preparations are making at the Dock-yard for the visit of the Lord High Admiral. On Wednesday a Court Martial was held on Mr. T. Shanks, Purser, and Mr. D. Patton, Surgeon, of the Tweed, for quarrelling at the mess-table, and using ungen tlemanlike expressions. The dispute originated in the question, whose turn it was to supply a table cloth ? One intemperate expression produced another; and the ultimate result was, that Mr. Shanks was sentenced to be dismissed from his ship, and to be severely reprimanded, and Mr. Patton to be reprimanded. On Wednesday a detachment of the 52d, with Captain King and Lieut. Yorke (eons of the Admirals); embarked in the Sophia, for Halifax.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER._A most daring highway robbery was commit ted last evening in the neighbourhood of our city. Mr. Wm. Lynch, proprietor of the Baths at Cove, returning homeward yesterday evening, from Mr. White's at Leitrim, where he dined, and proceeding by way of the Lower Glanmire-road, in a single horse gig, was stopped midway between Giantlike New Bridge and Northersk, the residence of Mr. Carnegie, about half-past seven e. M., by two men, who, each holding a pistol, seized the reins, and insisted on a surrender of his money, &c. After a few words of par ley on the part of Mr. Lynch, one of the fellows stepped into the gig, and wrested from him his gold watch, chain, and seals, and some silver. The robber having left the gig, and observing Mr. Lynch to look behind, approached him, and at the distance of about eight paces, fired a pistol at him, but, happily without effect. Mr. Carnegie having heard of the occurrence, immediately commenced a pursuit, assisted by his men, and succeeded in taking into custody two persons, one of whom Mr. L. has fully identified as the man who robbed and fired at him. We are in posses sion of other material circumstances connected with this transaction, which, lest the. ends of justice might be de feated, we forbear publishing for the prevent....

At low water yesterday after noon, Messrs. Brunel, senior and junior, descended in the diving bell again, and made a more complete in-, spection of the aperture in the bed of the River, by means of which the Tunnel has been inundated. On, their being drawn up, they stated that the hole was per pendicular, and, therefore much easier to be filled up than would otherwise have been the case. Mr. Brunel, junior,. tied a rope round his waist, and was lowered from the bell on the shield of the Tunnel, and after a careful in vestigation, found that the brick-work remained uninjured. Had the aperture been sufficiently large, it was intended by Mr. Brunel to have been lowered into the work itself, and to have made an examination as to the nature of the soil beyond the point where the men left off at the time the accident happened. It has already .been ascer tained that a yard beyond the .point which the work has proceeded, a stratum of strong clay commences ; and'could the present difficulty be overcome, en doubts as to ultimate success would be done away with. Por the last few days the workmen have had some new difficulties in digging out the soil, it having been of so loose a nature, resembling indeed mud which had been exposed to the sun for a day or two. As a proof Of this, we may mention the fact that a spade, dropped fromthe bell accidentally, on a former descent, actually made its way through the bed of the river, and was dug out by the workmen much bent. The work' had proceeded to the very middle - of the river, and to this fact may be attributed the loose description of the bed of the river, as the depth of it at the place where the aperture is, is such as to leave but a comparatively :mall portion of soil between the top of the tunnel and the bed of the river. Preparations had been made previous to the turn of the tide to commence filling up the hole, and barges full of strong blue adhesive clay were stationed at the proper place, and as soon as the diving bell was hoisted up, the workmen conmstced throwing in the clay. Mr. Brunet's sanguine that ' the difficulty will be overcome, and that the undertaking wilt be accomplished. 133 , the confidence he evinces, the spirits of the 'workmen litre been much increased, and they do their duty with alacrity.' It is calculated that all the water could be drawn out in seventy hours, should the leak be stopped. Up to a late hour last night the men were throwing clay into the river; and it is intended to-day to set the steam-engine to work, in order to ascertain if the leak be stopped.. That the archway should sustain the shock , is a great proof of its strength and solidity. By calculation,' it ap pears, that there was a sudden rush of 225,000 cubit feet of water, which indicates the work is well bonded, and the cement of a good quality. Mr. Brunel has already com menced the work of stopping the aperture, of doing which quickly, he appears to entertain no doubt, seems very happy no lives were lost, and expresses himself very warmly in his thanks for the prompt assistance and sympathy he has received. The conduct of some of the miners and artificers in remaining to shut the compartments of the shield, which is divided into three tiers, and their mutual endeavours to; assist and rescue each other, when the torrent rushed in with its utmost fury, driving the empty cement casks and loose timber in all directions, and forming whirlpools in different parts, partook of the heroic. One man, who had seen a hat floating, dived several times, in the idea that his comrade was under water, and could only be restrained by force from repeating the immersion. Already a well-known projector has planned another Tunnel, and has addressed a letter to the Directors, pur-; porting, that he can, under their act or charter, form it for less money than the present one can be completed for ; and informing them, that should they not listen to his proposal, and he should execute it, close and parallel to the present undertaking, all the world will run through his tunnel, while the present one will never be used'or frequented ; but in all probability, there will for the present, be no' more tunnels, and their future formation will depend on the suc cess of Mr. Brunel, in the present instance, whose acknow ledged skill is now put to the severest test. COPY OF A LETTEB. FROM MR. FRANCIS FORTUNE Or LOMBARD-STREET. Sir—ln consequence of the accident which has happened at the Thames Tunnel, I feel it incumbent on me to offer some explanation of the statement I made to the subscribers, at the meeting held at the City of London Tavern, when the object was projected. I then told them, that during the excavation of the original Tunnel, in 1810 or 1811, 1 bed frequently gone down the_ shafts for the express pur pose of inspecting the progress of the undertaking, and when the miners bad approached within two or three hundred feet of the Shadwell side, an accident similar to the present occurred. I then suggested the propriety of filling sacks with mud, clay, &c. and for them to be thrown from out of a barge into the Thames, immedi ately above the bole. This was done, and the result, as I anticipated, proved satisfactory ; the engine was set to work, the water pumped out, and I with many others went down into the Tunnel, and found it perfectly dry ; the aperture through which the water had forced its way having been completely stopped, by means of the bags of mud, &c. The Subscribers, however, took the alarm, the scheme was abandoned. I have just been informed that the idea of stopping the influx of water, in the present instance, by clay, &c. (without bags), is now acting upon, but I am afraid that it will not prove successful, unless the clay is put into bags, as in the former case. 29, Lombard-street. I remain, Sir, yours, &c. FRANCIS FORTUNE. REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY. We received last night the following communication from the Thames Tunnel Company, on the subject of the above accident : " Ma. EDITOR.-4 am desired by the Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company, to send you enclosed, a copy of the Report made to them by their Engineer, Mr. Brune), upon the subject of the accident which last night occurred to the Tunnel. " I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, " C. BUTLER, Clerk to the Company. " Walbrook-buildings, May 19, 1827." " GENTLEMEN—It will be in the recollection of the Directors, that for some time past the nature of the ground through which the Tunnel was passing, has been such as to occasion much delay in the works, not unattended with danger, if such a term may be applied to a casualty al , .vayi contemplated by me as possible. The Directors will then - fore not be surprised, particularly after my last Report, at the occurrence of an accident which took place lasi evening at near high water, when the pressure on the shield , was nearly at its height. The body of the Tunnel is at present filled with water ; but I am quite satisfied that the whole of the brickwork of the Tunnel is sound and un injured, and that the injury is confined to a small spot over the top of the shield, in the frame of which the workmen, for their protection, carry on the excavation. " It is extremely gratifying to me to report that the workmen retired g radually, without confusion ; and Mr. Beamish, one of my assistant engineers, was the last to quit the shield, which has thus been proved to be an effectual safe-guard against any sudden disaster. c‘ I have adopted means to remedy the evil, and Remove the water, and feel confident that the work will in a short time be resumed, and proceed as usual.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, " M. J. BRUNEL, " To the Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company, 19th May; 1827." The bursting of the Thames Tunnel suggesiii to us re flections upon the extremely imperfect manner in which tunnelling is executed in this country. Whilst we excel in machinery, and in every other branch of civil engineering, the art of tunnelling, or dunking horizontal subcavations, is almost unknown in England, compared to many parts of the Continent. This is the second attempt to cut a tunnel under the Thames, and even the efforts to form a tunnel tbrough such a contemptible elevation as Highgate Hill proved, abortive. It is very different in many parts of Germany ; and in proof of which we make the following extract from the amusing and instructive travels just pubs lisped by Capt. Jones, of the Navy. The author has also an account of a celebrated tunnel in the north of Italy ; but the present refers to the celebrated tunnel in the Silver Mine of Kingsburgh, in Norway :—" A wonderful gallery has been pierced through the side of the mountain, at the depth of six hundred feet, through which the ore is now transported, instead of being hoisted to the top. Its length is six thousand feet, and it occupied twenty-three years in its completion. It had been commenced in 1792, but dur ing seven years of the time it was discontinued, it had just been opened. The process was most tedious, being en tirely by calcination and hammering, which brought the rock off in flakes. Only two men could work at a time.; it was commenced both externally and internally, and to their credit be it recorded, that upon meeting, there were only two or three feet difference in the level, and none in , the direction ; it is from six to seven feet wide, and from ten to fifteen high," CONTRACT FOR MALT.
