NEW COMMERCIAL Dock, ROTHERRTTEL—The
rapid and extraordinary increase in the sire of merchant
easels was rendering useless some of the old lock entrances
in the Thames; to remedy which and to give greater
facilities to the Commercial Docks and to the trade of the
port of London, this company, three yeses sines, purchased
the East County Deck; sad, under the plans of Messrs.
Walker and Bargee, engineers to the Admiralty, and the
execution of Mr. Milk, contractor, it has been enlarged
and finished, is the most efficient and satiefactory manner,
exhibiting one of the best specimens of dock building now
extant. This new or south dock is 27 feet deep below
Trinity datum over the Bill of the gate end throughout the
dock. The lock is 220 feet long by 48 feet wide, and at the
neap, or lowest tide, 22 feet deep, admitting vessels et more
than 28 feet draught of water at spring tide, and the facility
of lying at the quays at all times. It forms One of seven
docks in connection, covering altogether 150 acres, of which
about one-half is water. On Monday last, the 13th, the new
dock was opined,and'at 2 p.m. two large vesicle, the Premier,
from Quebec, of 1,000 tons, and the Oriental, 1,640 toss,
from St. Jolla's, N. 8., dressed with the flags of all nations,
were towed to the lock entrance, through which they were
hauled into the dock, amid the cheers of the officers and
labourers, and with a royal salute, the Oriental having the
precedence. These docks being on the swath side of the
' river, are but little known to the public, though the oldest
docks in Europe for commercial purposes.—The Budder.
THE PROPOSED RAILWAY UNDER THE CHANNEL.-
• scheme, proposing a railway under the Channel, by which
a direct submarine oommunication will be opened between
England and France, has been originated by M. Fevre, a
French engineer of celebrity. The lengthof the work, it is
stated, would be about 19 mile., and the tunnel would be
pierced at such a depth as would always leave 25 metres at
least between the arch 'ulike bottom of the sea. It would
be lined with a double archway, one of bricks and the other
of iron, the latter being pierced with narrow openings, so as
at once to allow the slightest iofiltratioas to be seen. In
the construction of this cancel, M. Fevre states that no in-
breaks of water, such as so frequently interrupted the works
of the Thames Tunnel, need be apprehended, inasmuch as,
for the greater part of the distance under the Channel, the
ground consists of hard rock*, whilst the ground under the
Thames was of a blue day, of no °insistency. As evidence
of this, it is mentioned that on the coast of Cornwall many
of the mince extend a considerable distaace under the sea,
and yet no accidents occur from the irruption of the waters,
although the distance between the sea and the workmen is
often so slight that the noise of the loose stones moved about
by the waves can be distinctly beard. Engineers, we are
informed. are already engaged in making estimates as to
what wield le the probable expense of the undertakiag.—
