COAL HOLE TAVERN STRAND.--This Old esta-
blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con-
tinuos to draw from all qua►ttrs. It is crowded every night
by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say,
evince the highest gratification from the well conducted and
unrivalled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always
has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of
the choicest quality.
We understand that most satisfactory accounts have
been received from Alexandria, as to the voyage out there
of the iron steam-yacht L'Eyypticit, constructed by Mr.
J. Laird, of Birkenhead. The actual time occupied in
making the passage from Liverpool was 18 days ; and when
we consider that she was built principally with a view to
river navigation, and bad contrary winds to contend with
most of the voyage, it must be generally admitted that she,
has made a most extraordinary passage. The reports from
the captain and others all agree in representing her as an
excellent sea boat, and that the compass acts as truly and
steadily as it does on board any timber-built vessel—a de-
sideratum of vast importance.—Liverpool Courier.

The work-house of the parish of St. George the
Martyr, Southwark, is now undergoing extensive alterations
and improvements. A great part of the old building has
been pulled down, and on the site will be erected a new
western compartment and wings, and other offices. There
is to be full accommodation for 400 paupers. The new
works are to be completed by the Ist of March, and the
cost to the parish will be about 6,0001. In the meantime
the paupers dependant on the establishment have been re-
moved to the other work-house at Lewisham, and have been
farmed out to other places.
The Duke of Modena has issued a decree to regulate
the disposal of the property of the.twenty-nine political fugi-
tives lately condemned to death. One half of their property
is to be given up to their respective families ; the other half
to be applied to the support of the families of those fugitives
who arc not possessed of private property.
The visiting Magistrates of Springfield Gaol, Essex,
met at the prison on Friday, when, after hearing the evi-
dence of Mr. Neale and the officers, with that of several
pisoners,—Robert Coote, William Shuttlewood, William
Randall, and Stephen Moss, the ringleaders in the recent
attempted escape, were ordered to be privately and severely
whipped. John Diver, Christopher Oliver, Thomas Burns,
Samuel Hood, and Elisha Whiffen, to be privately whipped,
the former receiving fifty lashes, the latter thirty-six lashes ;
all to be kept in irons until removed to the hulks. Several
others were ordered to be kept on bread and water for a
week.

WELSH RABBITS.--Much is, to be said in. favour
of toasted cheese for supper. It is the cant to say, that a
Welsh rabbit is heavy eating. I know this ; but have I
really found it to be so in my own case ? Certainly not.
I like it best in the genuine Welsh way, however ; that is,
the toasted bread buttered on both sides profusely, then a
layer of cold roast beef, with must trd and horse-radish, and
then, on the top of all, the superstratum of Cheshire, tho-
roughly saturated, while in the process of toasting, with
ewrw (Welsh ale), or, in its absence, genuine black pepper
and shallot vinegar. I peril myself upon the assertion, that
this is not a heavy supper for a man who has been busy all
the day till dinner ba reading, writing, or riding. With this
proviso, I recommend toasted cheese for supper. And I
bet half-a-crown that Dr. Kitchiner coincides with me.—
Dr. Maginn.
There is a great deal of enjoyment to be derived
from performing the different operations of gardening, inde-
pendently altogether or the health resulting from this kind
of exercise. To labour for the sake of arriving at a result,
and to be successful in attaining it, are, as cause and effect,
attended by a certain degree of satisfaction to the mind,
however simple or rude the labour may be, and however un-
important the result obtained.

The measures taken by Mr. Brunel to resume the work-
ings in the tunnel have been highly successful. At a meet-
ing of the Directors of the Company, held yesterday, Mr.
Brunel laid before the Court a detailed Report of the cir-
cumstances attending the late irruption of the water, and
the steps he had taken to fill up the chasm in the bed of the
River produced by the running of the soil in the vicinity
of the aperture into the tunnel. Mr. Brunel reported
that the works were again placed in safety—that the
water had been drawn out to a great extent, it being
now practicable to walk between fifty and sixty feet
into the tunnel, and that, but for the floating timber
which formed the platforms near the extremity of the
workings, the shield could be approached in a boat, the
water in the curve towards the middle of the tunnel only
leaving at present any water in it. As far as an investiga-
tion of the work has yet been allowed, the whole appears
not to have suffered the slightest injury by the late influx
of the water. Every thing remains perfect, and the tunnel
has only the appearance of having received a complete wash-
ing. Mr. Brunel reported to the Court of Directors his
confidence that the whole of the water in the tunnel would
shortly be pumped out—that the shield would be found un-
injured—and that, as soon as the loose soil which is near it
has been cleared out the works would be again resumed.

Last night Mr. Brunel attended at the Thames Tunnel,
for the purpose of giving directions to undertake an inspec-
tion of the shield. For that purpose Mr. Page, accompanied
-by some of the men, went in a boat ; but he was not able to
reach the shield, in consequence of the many rafters floating
upon the water, which impeded his progress. He was then
hauled back by a rope which was attached to the boat. The
progress of pumping out the water, however, by the steam-
engine proceeds most satisfactorily. Previous to the irrup
tion many persons believed that the water drained through ;
but the dryness of the walls under the present circumstances
is a clear proof, in Mr. Brunel's opinion, that there can be
no leakage of water through the arch or sides of the Tunnel,
and that the dampness observed is similar to that which is
found in all cellars.
