MISCELLANEOUS.

—Yesterday, at two o'clock, Sir Isambard Brunel, with
Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. Mason, one of the assistant en-
gineers, and several gentlemen, walked through the
Thames Tunnel, from Rotherhithe to Wapping. Mr.
Page, the acting engineer, was in the shaft, and with the
workmen received Sir Isambard with loud cheers ; who
shortly addressed the men, thanking them for their
courage and perseverance. This great undertaking may
thus be said to be accomplished. In a few months it is
expected one of the archways will be opened for foot
passengers.

The outside of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral is
now under repair, the lead-work having become much
dilapidated by age and exposure to the heat of the sun.
At a late meeting of the Lincoln Temperance So-
ciety, the question was raised whether the use of brandy
in cookery, particularly in plum-puddings, would be an
infringement of the rules. After a long and grave de-
bate it was resolved that brandy in puddings is eaten and
not drunk, and that, therefore, it does not fall within
the list of prohibited articles. This is an ingenious
method of compromising an embarrassing question, so
as to allow a man to swallow brandy without violating
his sense of propriety.

Vauxhall Gardens are at length advertised for
sale, and the ingenious art of supplying upwards of five
hundred supper-tablcs with one small, solitary Yorkshire
ham, will, we suppose, be numbered shortly among the
things that were. Had the illustrious Simpson lived to
witness this destruction of the great theatre of his glory,
he would no doubt have given vent to his feelings in
one of the most pathetic addresses that ever set Syntax
and orthography at defiance.

A tradesman in the City lately employed a pro-
fessional gentleman to recover a debt of thirty shillings;
he succeeded, and the costs were seventy pounds! Who
shall say, after this, that Law is not among the first and
greatest of our national blessings ? Voltaire states, that
he never was ruined but twice—once. when he gained a
law-suit, and once, when he lost it.
A Belfast paper states that the neighbourhood was
visited last week by a water-spout Fortunately no lives
were lost. This water-spout would have done admirably
to fill the kettles of the Belfast teetotallers.

RUMOURS OP TUE DAY.
The Earl of lladdington, who was Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland under Sir R. Peel's short Administration, has
embarrassed his friends by insisting on being re-appointed
to that office, under the new Peel Government.
Dr. Channing, whose powerful writings are so well
known in Europe, is reported to have ceased to preach,
owing to increase of infirm health. Nevertheless, he has
nations, instead of limited communities, for his congre-

ions.

Mr. Croker, who converted Sir Francis Burdett to
Toryism, has been invited by Sir Robert Peel to meet
the Hon. Baronet at Drayton Manor. Report says that
the wily politician who effected this astonishing conver-
sion, also operated successfully upon another great Re-
former, about the year 1834, but there is no mention of
any invitation being forwarded to that gentleman.

The Colonial GOvernor of Bermuda had issued
an order, that after the 6th July the only charges to
which all vessels would be subject on entering or clear-
ing at the various ports in that colony would be, to the
