HER,CULEAN TASK.--On Friday last, a•
person named Smith, th,, brewer at the Chesterfield's-Arms,.
Bingham, undertook to draw a cart, laden with half a ton
weight of bricks, from beyond Saxondale to Bingham, in.
four hours, the distance being two miles and a half, which
he very easily completed in less than one hour and a half;
and to prove his competency to the task, he took up a man
of 14 stone weight on the top of his load, nearly half a mile
from home. About two hours afterwards, the saint man
drew a heavy cart 400 yards, at one breathing, agreeably
to his wager.—Many bets were depending on the above.--
Lincoln Paper.

All apprehensions as to the effects of the re-
cent irruption have now entirely subsided. The
indefatigable and precautionary measures adopted
by the engineer have proved completely success-
ful, and excavation has now partially re-com-
menced: Boxes 9, 10, 11, and 12, have been
moved forward to the extent of nine inches', anti
the brickwork which immediately succeeds them.
has been made good. The importance of this

improvement exists in the fact, that at this COL
of the shield it was that the water broke in ; and

it is, therefore, fair to assume, that if these
boxes can be moved without disturbing
the earth, there will be no difficulty in pro-
pelling the remainder. Several of these boxes
have, however, received material injury ; and
although they have all been raised to a perpen.
dicular position, it will still 'require a few days
more to cleanse and repair them before the gene=
ral movement takes place. Monday next is 'it
present understood as the day on which all the
miners will be at work.

The public in general have no correption of
the extent and danger of the accident.
example ; one of the iron floors, weighing about
ten, hundred weight, was broken in no less than
seven different places by • the immense pressure
, .
and weight, upon.it, To remedy-this accident
was a work ,of great difficulty and danger. The
shield itself,- in which *the work is carried on,
and which is supported by two pieces of iron of
great strength, called legs, was materially injured
by the total destruction of one of these pillars.
Indeed, to enumerate the various injuries in
detail, would be much too tedious.
It will be recollected that at the last general
meeting, of the Shareholders, held at the City of
London Tavern, the Directors, amongst other
things, reported that there remained in the hands
of the Bankers, available, to the purposes of the.
undertaking, no more than about twenty-fire
thousand pounds, and arrangements were in con-
templation for laying before the public some plan
for procuring additional funds ; but it was deemed
advisable to suspend the adoption of this mea-
sure until excavation had actually recommenced.,
That recommencement having been • •macfc,'
Meeting of the Shareholders will shortly take
place. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cla-
rence has recently manifested considerable inte—
rest in the works, and has intimated to the.
Directors his intention of visiting them in a few
days.

The western archway, that appropriated to vi-
sitors, having been entirely cleansed, is now cover,
ing lightly with pozzalano. The composition is
of a much lighter colour than that generally used
in England, and, assisted by the newly-erected
lamps, the .gas for supplying which is manufac-
tured from oil on the premises, the brilliancy and
beauty of the coup d'ceil is materially increased.

REMARKS OF A RECENT TRAVELLER
IN ITALY AND THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

FERRARA, AUG. I.—Although it is a part
of the Austrian policy, with regard to its Italian
provinces, to restrict the facilities of communi-
cation, as calculated to disseminate revolutionary

i_'i
principles, I am glad to perceive that public con-
veyances have increased considerably since my
last visit to this part of Italy. A few years ago,
it was impossible to reach this place from Venice
in less than three or four days. Now the jour-
ney is performed in a very comfortable diligence
in eighteen hours. There is not, perhaps, a more
charming ride in all Europe, than that along the
Brenta, from Chizzo, where we landed from.
Venice, to Padua. The road is admirable, and

to the right, produce a truly romantic effect as
contrasted with the even surface of the plains of
Lombardy, cultivated to a degree which might
well excite the astonishment and admiration of
an English farmer. The Brenta, though rather
a muddy stream, rolls along with such ceaseless
rapidity in every season of the year, that it gives
both a phases and picturesque effect to . this part
of the country. On •leaving Padua, we were
cheered with a fine view of the Euganean hills,
covered with woods and vineyards. This inte-
resting region, on which Arqua, where the re-
mains of Petrarch lie buried, has been celebrated
by Uga Toscolo, in his famous romance of
Jacopa Ortis, one of the most popular novels of
Italy. The Duke of Modena has a very de.
