So hard is the rocky substance which has been
reached beneath Boston. Market-place, in the attempt to
procure spring water, that the workmen are unable to pro-
ceed with more celerity than at the rate of five feet per
week. They have now bored nearly 520 feet, and water,
it is said, is in the orifice made by the auger little more
than a hundred feet below the surface.—Stamford News.

COMPLETION OF THE RAILWAY TUNNEL
Ax LivaitrooL.—On Saturday last the final communica-
tion between the shafts of the railway tunnel was effected ;
and there is now an uninterrupted passage from the intend-
ed depot near Wapping, to the deep cutting at Edge-hill.—
This magnificent work is about 2,200 yards in leagth, 22
feet wide, and 16 feet high ; it is almost entirely cut
through the solid rock, but which in several instances, is
so shattered and broken, and occurs in such thin beds, or
layers, as to render it necessary to insert an arch of brick-
work for the security of the roof. Numerous droppings of
water, which issued through the pares of the rock, have
been successfully stopped by the application of Roman
cement.---Looking at the extent and magnitude of this un-
dertaking, with all the difficulties inseparable from such a
work, and considering that it is little more than eighteen
months since it was commenced, (during which time no
less than 160,000 tons of stone have been removed from be-
neath the surface, and made subservient to the purposes of im-
provement above), we cannot but be astonished at the rapidity
of the operations which have effected it.—We understand that
preparations are making for lighting it with gas, and when this
is done, the public will be admitted to a sight of it. It is
expected that there will be a sufficient current of air from
the bottom to the top, to answer all the purposes of venti-
lation.—We regret to say that the opening of the final
communication on Saturday evening was attended with an
accident of rather a serious nature. So eager were the
miners (who had been labouring many a weary hour with-
in the sound of ea Ai other's blows) to put an end to their
toil and anxiety, and receive the reward promised to their
exertions, that they forgot the caution which was neces-
sary on such an occasion. The men on one side had pre-
pared a blast, and had called to their fellow-workmen on
the other side to warn them of it, but in the bustle of the
moment the call had not been heard, and so slight was the
partition between them, that on the blast going off, it
forced its way completely through, and three men (one of
whom was an intelligent superintendent, who was directing
the operations) were considerably burnt by the gunpowder;
but we are glad to find that they are all likely to recover.
