THIRD DAY'S RAMBLE IN THE MAMMOTH
CA VE.

and nothing with any sign of life but gnats that flut-
tered about our lamps, and now and then a large cricket
with immense long legs, but there was no " hearth" for
it to be on, nor did it chirp. In this river are the
eyeless fish; there are two kinds of them, neither
having the least resemblance of a place ..for an eye, for,
of course, they have no need of eyes. The solitariness
of such a scene can scarcely be conceived. However, we
must not think of it; we sang and chatted. The echo
was magnificent, and sounding chords afforded us some
amusement; the four notes of the chord, sounded by one
voice, continued to sound altogether for a very long
,ime, and at length died away by almost inaudible
sounds. After being in this lonely situation for
an hour, we were cheered by hearing the
voices of the guides, singing at a long distance from us.
As they came nearer we discovered that it was "Auld
larg syne" they were singing, and I am sure I never
heard that favourite air with greater pleasure or Bads-

avenue ; for we hear the water splashing against the
fl st in the boat, and get through as he best can. We
reach the point of the river where he bad come to, and
there is no sign of him. We wait patiently for a time,
and at length the awful silence is broken by the sounds
of his voice, singing to let us know he has got through in
safety. The effect of the solitary lamp on the water is
astounding. We now all embark, and sing our way down
the Echo River for about a quarter of a mile, when we
get out, and walk again for some distance, then cross the
river again on Stephen's hack, and at last we are fairly om
the other side. The river was discovered in 1839, and filet

s like a dark
river. This bend resembles exactly the stern of a large
ship, and we see it as if we were in the water looking
up at it. It is called the Great Western. The avenue,
which is two miles long, is terminated by an apartment
called Ole Bull's Concert Room, for here the great
violinist discoursed eloquent music to a large party whom
he accompanied into the cave some years ago. We now
enter the Pass of El Ghor, which is two miles long, very
narrow, that is, it averages a breadth of six or eight
feet, and a height of about fifteen or eighteen. There is
a singular-looking place in it called The flanging Rocks,
which are immense blocks of stone rent from the roof,
and hanging as it were in air, ready to annihilate any
half-hundred people that may venture under them, but
fortunately they don't. We leave the Pass, and enter
spring-side, but when we ascend a ladder about fifteen
feet into a place called Mary's Vineyard, one of the most
extraordinary freaks in the whole cave. It looks as,
if all the dark-coloured grapes had been collected from
half the vineyards on the Rhine and deposited here. The
clusters are perfect, and the formations are still going
on. It was lighted up with a Bengal, and the effect of it
is indescribable. We pass on to Washington Hall, or
the Spar Chamber, as it is sometimes called, a large and
beautiful apartment, where the walls and roof are co-
vered with heautful ornaments, and by and bye we reach
the Snow-ball Boom, which has the appearance of there
having been a formidable battery of snow-balls directed
against the roof; many of which are beautifully formed,
like large white roses. We proceed to Cleveland's
Cabinet, which is about two miles in length, and filled
wish stalactite beauties, various parts of it being distin-
guished by particular names, such as Mary's Bower, a
beautiful part; St. Cecilia's Grotto, Charlotte's Grotto,
Mary Reedie's Festoon, &e.; the walls of the whole for
several miles being covered with rosettes, Prince of
Wales' Leathers, tulips, lilies, &c., and often we see a
piece like a richly carved Corinthian capital. We must
not forget the Diamond Grotto, where, by holding
your lamp behind you, a never-ending profusion of
sparkling diamonds is seen among the stalac-
tite beauties. Many beautiful specimens have fallen
on the ground, and many have been knocked from the
place where Nature deposited them by the ruthless hand
of some visitor. We brought away some specimens
with us, but they are very brittle and very b«..1,
makes it difficult to procure many. It is said there are
rats in this part of the cave, though it is diffi lilt to
imagine what they can support themselves and their fa-
milies upon, fur they cannot exist on the beautiful orna-
ments by which they are surrounded, any more than the
California miner can live on the gold he finds; but some-
times they get a chance for food. It is not long since
two young men came from New York with the determi.
nation of exploring the cave. They took provisions
with them to last for three days, and had Stephen for
their guide. They had their blankets with them, and
after one day's exploration, they fixed on Cleveland's
Cabinet for their sleeping chamber. When they got up
in the morning, and went for their basket, to breakfast
before setting out on their travels, they found every
particle of food gone, and they had a trudge of eight
miles to the mouth of the cave for a breakfast. The rats
are different from the usual species, they leap
something like a rabbit, and are very seldom
seen. Beyond Cleveland's Avenue, we came to the
Rocky Mountains, an exceedingly difficult place to travel
over, then get to the Dismal Hall, a gloomy-looking
place, about 100 feet high, Sereno's Arbour, well worthy
to be visited, and Medura's Spring, are at the furthest
extent of the explored part of the cave, and here we are
nine miles from the mouth. We now returned, and saw
on our way the Snow-ball Chamber lighted up with a
Bengal, which, i 1 possible, increased its beauty. We
stopped to dine at a little spring, not far from the foot of
the ladder by which we descended from Mary's Vine-
yard, and, after resting for a time, we entered once more
the Pass of El Ghor, and continued our way, looking
with regret for the last time upon the many wonders we
bad already explored. As we approached the river we
found the walking as bad as ever, but we got over safe.
As Alfred was carrying me along the Styx on his back,
he stepped upon a quicksand, and sank considerably,
which I not liking, and being quite ignorant as to where
he was likely to sink t0,,1 jumped from his back, in spite
of Stephen's shouts to "hold on to him! hold on to
him! " It afforded me a hearty laugh, for the
water scarcely came to my knees, and the
exertion of clambering over rocks, and walk-
ing along on the rough road, soon made all dry. Once
on this side the river, we trudged on nimbly through the
Fat Man's Misery and the Valley of Humility, and get-
ting into the Main Cave from behind the Giant's Coffin
again, we were not long in seeing the light of day. I
nearly forgot to mention that as we were sailing up the
Echo River on our way home, Alfred, the guide, caught
two of the eyeless fish. They are small, about a finger's
length, one of them like a minnow, and the other some-
thing like a shrimp. There is not the slightest appear-
ance of eyes about them. We heard also the sound of a
voice at some distance, which Stephen knew to be that of
one of the guides, and when we got up on the walk aboutc
fifty feet above the river, we saw at a great distance
three individuals standing beside the river,_ theirlamps
beside them. The effect was awfully sepulchral—they

season not commencing tillabour tegie"endßyof June,
we had it all to ourselves, and enjoyed it
much ; but even when there is a crowd of
people there, it must add to the amusement to meet
parties as one rambles through the cave, though one
would scarcely get into such a place for amusement. It
fills the mind with thoughts something deeper than
amusement. No accident of a serious nature has ever
happened in the cave, for the guides are very careful,
and every precaution is taken to prevent accidents. Very
soon atter the river was discovered two young gentle-
men, accompanied by two young ladies, went to cross
it. They were full of spirits and too full cf fun, for
despite the guide's earning that the boat was very crazy,
they, in getting into it, upset it. Their lamps were all
extinguished, and their matches lost. Fortunately, the
guide got them out of the water, and placed them on some
rocks, where they were obliged to remain fur several
hours, till the people in the hotel sent to see what de-
tained them so lung in the cave. They were in a ter-
rible fright, and no wonder. Another gentleman who
had left his party, iu his ardour to examine some par
ticular point, lost his way in attempting to rejoin them,
and wandered about shouting till his lamp went out,
when he sat down, and he was thirty hours

Although we had a day's rest yesterday, it being
Sunday. my eldest (laughter was nut sufficiently reco-
vered from the fatigues of Saturday to encounter another
day's journeying in the cave, which might perhaps be
more fatiguing than any we had yet undergone, and so
my youngest and myself sallied forth, both of us being
very anxious to see the ferlies across the river. It has
been doubtful for some days whether we should be able
to cross the river, ft,r, like all the rivers fur a consider-
able time past, it has been so high that there has not
been sufficient room for a boat to pass between the river
and the rocky ceiling above. However, Green River,
which flows at about half-a-mile's distance from the
mouth of the cave has fallen considerably since last
night, which affords some hope that the river in the cave
may also hale fallen, and Stephen assures us that he will
get us to the other side some way or other, if we should
go through purgatory, which he sweets we shall have
to do. We take an additional guide with us, named
Alfred, in MO his services may be required. We trudge
along the Main (and at a pretty smart pace), till we
reach the Giant's Coffin, behind which we again descend,
and go through the Deserted Chambers, pass the Bot-
tomless Pit and again get into the Winding Way,
through which having winded, we leave the Bacon
Chamber on the right, and take the passage
to the left, which leads to the Dead Sea,
which may be seen by looking over a precipice, and
sending a blazing piece of paper to the regions below.
At eighty feet distance it reaches the still water of he
Dead Sea. We journey on through avenues till we
we
reach the river Styx, which we cross in a boat, then
walk a little farther till we get to Lethe. We sail along
it in our frail barque till the water becomes so- shallow
that we can go no farther. Echo River is the great one
.s,o have to cross. and us the guides are uncertain abow
the state of it, they leave us till they sitcertain by what
means we are to get to the other side. It was la) veri
deli4huul situation for solitary, helpless individuals i(
be lett alone in a boat in the middle of a river, so fat
under the face of the earth, and with no sound' of any-
thing near us save the trickling of inyibible waterfalls,

During the first period the prisoners will be kept
entirely separate from each other, but will be taught a
trade, and be instructed in moral and religious duties,
thus combining the severe punishment of solitary con-
fimment with the means of reformation. The expe-
rience gained of the effect of this discipline on the cha-
racter of the men is represented to have been favourable.
During the second period the men will be brought into
partial association, under the superintendence of an
officer, and will be employed in parties of from 10 to2o, ac-
cording to the nature of the work. They will, as far as
possible, be tasked, and receive some little advantage for
extra work.
During this probationary period, opportunity will be
afforded tor ascertaining whether they have profited by
the instruction they will have received when undergoing
solitary imprisonment, and of testing the strength of any
good resolutions they may have formed.
The period of his detention under this discipline,
will in a great measure be influenced by his charac-
ter, and the opinion formed of his probable usefulness
in the colony to which he may eventually be sent.
Indeed, the main objects of these probationary
periods appear to be—to give an effective punish-
ment, and at the same time to fit the prisoner for the
more extended liberty of the ticket of leave, which will
be given to well-conducted men, after they have passed
through them.

The ticket of leave will entitle a prisoner to work far
wages, and eijoy many of the advantages of freedom;
but the governor of the colony will have the power of
ailiding him to some remote situation, where labour is
much required, and in case of idleness or misconduct,
may withdraw the ticket, and then the holder of ii
would be again in the condition of a convict.
The rules respecting removals are stated to be as
follows:

Prisoners who behave in a satisfactory manner may
entitle themselves to tickets of leave at the expiration of
h.lf the period elmit original sentence; as an additional
encouragement, however, those of whose character and
imiustry the most favourable opinion is formed, may be
recommended at an earlier period, and may be 19,aded
with a ticket of leave at the expiration of about one-
third of the period of their respective sentences. Dntly
records are kept of the conduct and industry of each
individual, from which periodical extracts are made by
the Governor and other authorities of the prison, in
order to determine the classification.
We have been given to understand that the general
conduct of the men has been so uniformly good, that
with very few exceptious they have entitled themselves
to removal in the minimum period allowed by the regu-
lation.

There are at present upwards of 500 men on the spot,
and it is said there will be an additional 300, making in
alt 800 men before the end of the present month. We
see large parties empliiycd in quarrying, ohers in squar-
ing and preparing stone, others making new roads and
levelling the quarries tor laying down the rails, prepara-
tory to the removal of the stone to the breakwater.
The establishment itself can only be seen by order
from the Secretary of State, but the following brief
account of it may convey a general idea. The buildings
occupied by the convicts are constructed chiefly of
wood and iron, so that they may be taken down and
removed to any other place on the completion
of the breakwater. Each man has a small separate
sleeping cell, about 7 feet long by 4 feet wide, and 7 feet
high. These small cells are ranged four stories high,
and open into four spacious halls, which are so placed
as to be under inspection from a central corridor,
where the officers are stationed. All the necessary
offices are placed la an adjoining building, when,
there is a large cook-house, wash-house, and drying-
shed, baths, &c. A large chapel and other buildings
are now in progress. The building is enclosed by a
lofty wall and the edge of the quarry, which was in
a very rugged state, has been made into a finished
parapet.
On the outside the boundary wall there are houses
for the governor, chaplain, and superior officers
of the establishment, and extensive ranges of
cottages for the warders and others. There is
also a large infirmary, protected from the prevailing
winds by having been built in a large quarry. Instead
of going to the expense of breaking up the large atones,
and levelling the yard where the sick will take exercise,
the rocks have been left, and a party of convicts, under
the direction of the governor, have made walks among
them.
There is a gasometer from which all the buildings are

DESPERATE LEAP FROM BLACHFRIARS-BRIDGE.--
Last evening, about six o'clock, a man, apparently about
40 years of age, but who was unknown, mounted the
bridge, and plunged headforemost into the river. The
unfortunate man was noticed standing on one of the
seats on the upper side of the bridge, when, before any
one knew his object in being there, he succeeded in
making the fatal leap. Bull, one of the officers on the
Blackfriarsi ier, instantly put off in a boat, and rowed
towards the deceased, and having overtaken him he put_
forth his hand intending to lay hold of the hair of
his head, and pull him into his boat. The tide,abiroown.
