LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1830.

the exhibition of the Tunnel, to provide for keeping
the Tunnel dry. If it were thouglit proper the
Tunnel might be shut•up entirely, or keep.it open
as heretofore, or to advertise it for sale. All hopes
of assistance from Government at present must be
wholly abandoned.
A warm discussion arose on a question being
pressed by a Proprietor, as to whether the Board
had applied to Government to assist the Company,
in consequence of a letter written by his Grace in
1829 to Lord Althorp, in which the Duke of Wel-
lington expressed his opinion that if the circurr-
stances of the country were such this year as could
admit of his interference, he would aid the Board,
if money could not be advanced, in carrying on a
Bill to raise the money by lottery.
The CUAIRMAN explained that a direct applica-
tion had been made by the Board to the Treasury.
The answer of the Duke of Wellington had given a
most positive denial. With respect to the plan of
a lottery as an alternative, he could only say such
plan had never been regularly proposed, and he
(the Chairman) would state that he would not have
been the medium of asking such a thing of Govern-
ment.

Mr. PULLY said if a lottery could be adopted to
raise funds to complete the _ work, it would be a
voluntary contributiou, and be knew there were
most respectable 'persons in the city who would
come forward.

Mr. MARTIN, a Director, answered that the plan
of a lottery would be the last plan, as by Govern-
ment abolishing such a system, which had brought
in thousands, a sort of protest had been given that
money lotteries should not again be allowed in this
count

CHAIRMAN read a passage from the Duke of
Wellington's letter, though the document was pri-
vate. It was to him (Mr. Smith). The Duke said
" You are a Member of the House of Commons,
and you must be well aware of the impossibility of
either purchasing or making any advances for the
Tunnel." He felt assured that a plan of a lottery
would not be supported in Parliament.
Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON thought it would be
advisable to petition Parliament for a Bill, and thus
the question would be set at rest.
A long discussion ensued on this subject.
A PROPRIETOR thought it advisable that the
question should be put at rest as to the mode in
which the Tunnel should be finished. He moved a
resolution that Mr. 13runel's plan was the most
eligible to complete the Tunnel, when money could
be obtained.

After a protracted discussion between Sir Gre-
gory Letter, Mr. Martin, and Sir Edward Co-
drington, in which Mr. Brunel's character was can-
vassed, and exonerated from blame in not com-
pleting the Tunnel in conformity with the estimates,
the resolution was adopted.
Thanks were returned to the Chairman and Di-
rectors, and the meeting adjourned.
