THAMES TUNNEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ~
SIR,—" In the multitude of counsellors,
the wise man, " there is wisdom;" and certain',
when a remedy is wanted, the more you
the number of counsellors, the more
remedy to be found. It appears, by the eoneur,"loo
testimony of all the Papers, that Mr. Bailie'
not yet succeeded in his endeavours to stop the le
over his tunnel ; and, as the completion °f 1115 ye'
dertaking, if he should succeed, is likely to Deo;
tended with very beneficial consequences It3.tht
country, you will, perhaps, permit me, throolr,
medium of your Paper, to offer him the cholo,o
two schemes, one of which, at least, I think,
hardly fail of success. r
, 0011
The mainsail of a large man-of-1m covecoved"
than four times the space of Mr. Brunel's fts"it'ill
work, and has this advantage over it, that tthe
adapt itself to all the irregularities of the bed °
river. Let four kedge, or small anchors, be
down in proper situations; then spread 05;
10
over the leakage, by means of pulleys attachedb
the four anchors, and cover the whole surface) pie'
a thick coating of clay. The expence of this,
some, will be very trifling, because the la s,'/1,2
when it is done with, will be just as services
it
ever; and, unless the hole be very largeianee 4
must prevent any water from going down. , •,i
If, however, the leak cannot be stoppe" L„ce#'
way, the second plan cannot possibly fail of sbli,
‘
although it may be attended with considerabotlie
pence. If the leak cannot be stopped by anYb-bioll'i
means, a great quantity of clay, stones, and 11,,,liart °i;
must be thrown down the hole, until that
the tunnel which is immediately below the
up, and the leak stopped from below, ‘;'"e" f'
is done, and the water pumped out of the VIA
hi
Di
that part of it which is nearest the old leak
walled up. An opening must then be made„' o,u;
side of the tunnel, and the continuation of
of
to pass in a curve, till it is clear of that In4ft, dr100°:,
bed of the river which is supposed to be °I, -a V,' ;
quality. To prevent any accident of the )"11„0
happening again, a ship's mainsail should arolitr6
spread over that part of the bed of the river t
the people are at work,--111
I am, Sir, your °.
dient and very bumble servant,
