THE THAMES TUNNEL.—On Monday, among other
scenes of amusement and attraction provided for the
Easter holiday folks, that wonderful achievement of art '
and perseverance, the Thames Tunnel, came in for its
share. It was filled as on the anniversary fair, held on.
the 25th of last month. The decorations were precisely
the same, and the numerous stalls were laid out with
choice and tasteful :articles, exposed for sale. The
Tunnel was brilliantly illuminated. The whole excited
the admiration of the vast multitude who passed through
during the day.
BRIGHTON.—NARROW ESCAPE.—At about twelve
o'clock on Friday night a Dutch East Indiaman ran foul
of one of the Brighton mackerel boats, about twenty-
eight miles off Shoreham, and carried away her main-
mast, mizenmast, mainyard, and two lanthorns. There
wero five persons in the boat--Joseph Miles (master).
and three other men and a boy. Immediately the boat
was struck, Miles sprung to the Dutch vessel, and suc-
ceeded in getting hold of the bowsprit shrouds, and in a
few minutes he was on board the Indiaman. lie re-
quested the captain to tack about and lower his boat to
save his companions ; but the captain refused either. to
lower the boat or stop the vessel, and poor Miles sailed
away away with them with a heavy heart for the fute o

pens on them Saturday had
morning, and about six in the evening lie arrived at
Brighton with the news that the boat had been ruu
down and his companions lost. Several families wera
thrown into the deepest grief, and the greatest conster-
nation prevailed on the beach the whole evening. About
eleven o'clock, however, their grief was turned to joy,
by the unexpected.p,ppearance of the boat's crew with
their shattered vessel )vhich they had managed to save
from sinking, and by cramming tarpauling into the holes
produced by the collisioh, they were enabled to get safe
on shore. The name of the barque which struck the
boat was the Gother, Jacob Cederbey, master, and was
bound for Hamburgh. Damage to the amount of between
.30/. and 401. was done to the fishing-boat, and the owner,
Mr. Andrews, intends to sue the owner of the Gother for
compensation.
EARLY APPLICATION OF STEAM.--The power of
steam had long been known before it wes brought into
use for general purposes. In Justinian's reign the.phi-
losopher Anthemias emtleyed it in his extraordinary
devices for annoying a next-door neighbour, and Pope
siJvester made an organ which was worked by it.—

" A southerly wind and a cloudy sky
Proclaim a hunting morn,";
appearances, in these respects, were not very promising
to the hundreds of horsemen who attended the last meet
of the Royal •staghounds for the season, yesterday morn-
ing, at Stoke-common, about two miles from the Slough
station, and five from Windsor. The red coats mus-
tered on the Common amounted to between 200. and
300, independently of as many horsemen not in hunting
attire ; the heath on either side of the high road was
lined with carriages containing the families of the nobi-
lity and gentry. residing within a circuit of ten miles of
the meet. A great number of sporting characters arrived
from London by the morning trains,- having sent their
horses forward the night preceding.. The pedestrians
from the towns of Windsor and Eton, and the neigh-
bouring villages, began to assemble on the heath long
before the hour appointed for uncarting the stag, and
by half-past eleven o'elock the holiday folks amounted
to upwards of 3,000. The deer, " Smuggler," which had
been selected for the day's sport, upon being turned out
upon the right of the common, crossed the road amongst
the carriages and foot people, and after jumping over a
" one-horse shay." and capsizing a couple of old women
from Burnliam, went away in splendid style towards
West-end, into the wood,`and then in the direction of
Farnham, when it headed back through the wood to
Hedgerly, and thence to Bulstrode-park and Brocas-•
wood: At this point it was headed back throtigh Bul-
strockepark, where it leaped the high wall, after the
second attempt, making for Gerrard's-giros!, and
taken at the Great Wood, close to Chalfont St. Peter's,
after a very diversified run of nearly two hours anda half.
THE AQUATIC SEASON.
The forthcoming season bids fair to surpass any that
have preceded it, not only in thenumber of the matches,
but in the variety and excellence of the sport. The ex-
ceeding fineness of the weather during the last few days
has set the gentlemen who indulge in this popular, scien-
tific, and healthful sport upon the qui vice. During the
past winter the number of long boats laid down at the
respective boat-builders for the members of the Univer-
sities of Cambridge and Oxford, and other aquatic
patrons, has exceeded by far that of any former year;
and this, with the increased formation of aquatic clubs,
and the, arrangements already entered into, augurs well
both in rowing and yachting. The opening match will
take place on Thursday next over the great aquatic
course (Westminster to Putney) amongst the gentlemen
of the Oxford Subscription Rooms; it will be a four-
oared
cutter race, the crews being chosen by lot, for a
pair of silver oars and silver rudder. This will be fol-
lowed by the St. George's Boat Club Regatta, on the
23d instant, and by the first below-bridge sailing- match
of the Royal Themes .-Yacht.'Club, on the 11th of May.
Among the additions to the ordinary sport of the season
already announced,- are a handicap match amongst the
yachts of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, for a very
valuable and appropriate , painting, presented by Mr.
Condy, the marine artist; and a yacht match for a cup
at Erith by boats of all classes. These early tokens of
increase of sport augur well for its advancement in
popular favour.
