TUNNEL.—The tunnel in the King's Park
upon the Dalkeith Railway is now carried through,
though the cutting is not entirely finished. It is a beauti-
ful piece of workmanship, as straight as an arrow, about
20 feet wide, and, if we remember right, about 1,400 or
1,500 feet long. The eye travels through it with ease,
but from its great length, the light seen at its farther end
is diminished to a speck, and has a sort of magical ap-
pearance, which, on a first view, bewilders the sight.—
Scotsman.

We understand that it has been determined
at the meeting of Directors of the Liverpool and Manches-
ter Railway, that it shall be opened on the 15th of Sep-
tember, along the whole line. It is stated, on good au-
thority, that the Duke of WELLINGTON, Sir ROBERT
PEEL, the Earl of IlnanowiY, Mr. HusicissoN, and se-
veral other persons of distinguished rank and talent, intend
to be present at the opening. It is probable that the op-
portunity presented by this visit will not be allowed to
pass without some expression of respect and admiration
towards the conqueror of Waterloo, the pacificator of Ire-
land, and the successful assertor of religious liberty.—

" A balloon was seen near Thorney, on Friday
last, which evidently, from its unsteady motion, bad no
person with it. Upon reaching the ground the apprehen-
sions formed were rightly founded. Some of the cords by
which the car was suspended were cut, and the balloon
itself was injured. The initials H. G. were upon it.—
What has become of the aeronaut is at present unknown."
Such was the statement of our correspondents. We have
now the pleasure of adding, that Mr HENRY GREEN,
to whom the balloon above alluded to belongs, called
at our office yesterday noon, on his way to Thorney
to recover his lost travelling companion. He informs
us that he made his ascent from the outskirts of
Coventry, on Friday afternoon, at twenty minutes
before four o'clock, and, having attained an alti:
tude of 1,500 feet, he made an experiment to try the
efficiency of his safety valve, which, when opened he
supposes, from some of the silk becoming entangled with
the spring•, remained so, and the gas of course rapidly
escaped. The balloon descended at a frightful rate on the
town, and Mr. GREEN with consummate coolness cut
away the grapple, and as he neared the tops of the houses,
threw himself from the car, holding on at the same time
by the ropes. A strong current dashed the car against a
house, and then it rose again, thus affording Mr. GREEN
an opportunity of saying, " Adieu to thee, thou lovely
one!" as he quietly took his station astride the roof of the
building. He was hurt, but not seriously, and, like a
British tar, which we believe Mr. 11. G. has been, he
looks at the adventure as a " good lark."...Stawford
