THAMES TUNNEL

We publish under authority the following account of
another irruption of the River into the Thames Tunnel :
At half-past six o'clock this morning the appearance of the
ground, and unusual noise, as if from a rushing of water into
a cavity, having taken place, the engineer's attention was
drawn to the peculiar circumstances, and he therefore anti-
cipated a rush of water. Mr. Mason, one of the assistant
engineers, who was then just going on duty, with some active
miners, attempted to take means to prevent an irruption, but
finding it useless, he thought it necessary to order the work-
men to retreat, and which they did, in an orderly manner, by
the safety-platforms erected by Mr. Brunel for the passage of
the workmen in case of danger, and they ascended to the top
of the shaft without any personal injury having happened to a
single individual, although between 60 and 70 persons were in
the works at the time. In about a quarter of an hour after-
wards the water gradually filled the Tunnel.

Active operations were immediately commenced for filling
up the aperture in the bed of the River, as a quantity of clay
had been already collected near the spot, for the purpose of
forming the proposed covering towards the north shore, and
which is not yet completed.

COAL MONOPOLY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I see by the printed Coal List of last night that the
following Wallsends from Sunderland, all sold at 28s.:—
Braddyll's
Hettons.
Hettons.
Lambtons.
Russell's Hettons.
Hartlepool Wallsend also sold at 28s.
While from Newcastle—.
Gosforth Wallsend sold at 245.
Heaton, ditto, 245. 3d.
Graus, ditto, 225. 3d.
Hilda, ditto, 21s. 6d.
Killingworth, ditto, 21s. 9d., 225. and 225. 3d.
Lanchester, ditto, 21s.
Northumberland, ditto, 21s.
Pearith, ditto, 19a. 9d.
Perkins, ditto, 20s. 6d.
Walker, ditto, 225. 6d.
Whence comes this disproportion of from 15 to 35 per
cent. between the Tyne and Wear coals now? It used to be
from 10 to 15 per cent., and I remember it at less than that.
Surely some reaction will take place and a change happen, or
else it will be said the present Parliamentary Coal Committee,
like tinkers, in mending one hole, have opened half a dozen.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDi r.

Reports of all sorts are rife, as is usual, at the opening of the
season, but the only effect they have had has been to send D'Eg-
ville down several points. The Cobweb colt was backed at 7to 4,
being almost 2 to 1, for the Riddlesworth ; but this is owing to the
circumstance of there being no other " Cracks" in the race. A
brisk day, with full attendance, closed as quoted :
