THAMES TUNNEL.

The old hole is perfectly stopped, and the clay and
clay bags, &c. have not been at all displaced. The
recent irruption has been from a smaller bole over
the sixth frame, where the ground was previously
known to be extremely bad. This, from the eddy
described on Monday, had been so softened as to yield,
and admit the entrance of the water. The new hole is
perpendicular, and has only to he filled as the former
one. The raft has answered the purpose for which it
was employed most perfectly. The object was stated
on Monday to be the prevention of any sudden rush of
water in any one spot. This it has effected, since,
notwithstanding the new hole being of a size to adrni
water to fill the tunnel as completely as the first, it rose
very slowly and gradually.
A. Meeting of Directois was held yesterday, at the
Company's Office, to r ceise from Mr. Bays= a report
of the progress of the steps taken to stop the leak. Thai
Gentleman's repot t was of a favourable nature. He state:
that the raft had been brought to the surface of the
water, and that preparations are again taken to sink it,
loaded in such a manner as to prevent it being driven
away from its place of destinattm by the action of 'the
current.

SPORTINU INTELLIGENCE.

TATTRASALL'S. • -

&sou Races—Yesterday was settling day for the Derby and
Oaks, and we are happy to say went off very amicably ; only two
persons were looked for in vain, and as there are good grounds for
suppo.ing that they will eventually pay, we will Dot prejudice any
arrangement by classing them as Levanters at present : they are
minus slime thousinds. As usual there are lots of this small fry,
who verere prevented from dropping in by the bnfavourdble state
of the weather, but of course they will attend to morrow. The
Jersey party are great winners, his Lordship having himself
won nearly twenty thousand pounds. The Duke of Richmond won
about four thousand pounds only, although the betting mi the two
Stakes had been very heavy, the losing. are not by any mesas so
great as they were last year, biamttluke having been rather a harm-
less winner. Some of the great betting men are on the losing side
this time, but all of them met their engagements honourably;
indeed, the settling for lilt? may be fairly said to have added to the
respectability of the Turf. Tables were put in the yard for the
additional convenience of the Subscribers ; the gate closed upon all
who were not on the book, and none others admitted but upon pay-
ment of a Sovereign.

BUCE ISOM A M'S TR A VELS IN MESOPOTAMIA—Among
the recent investigations in the East by this traveller, the reader
will be particularly interested by his researches, as to the site of
the ancient city of Numeral, so often and so awfully alluded to by
the inspired Prophets. Mr. Bodetecttaw appears to have traced
satisfactorily the remains of the buildings. From the height," be
says, "on which we stood, extending our view to a considerable
distance in every direction, we could not certainly perceive any
marked delineation of one great outline; bat mounds, and smaller
heaps of ruins were scattered widely over the plain, salaam% to
prove that the site of the original city occupied a east extent."
The traveller then goes on to describe the general locality, the so-
called tomb of the prophet Jonah, and the antique intaglios and
bieroglyphics which have been dug up; and the whole of his inves-
tigation tends to confirm the accounts in the mitred writings, as
siren as in the historians, Moderns Siculias, and Jesephstsi
