The Thames and Medway Canal is rapidly ad-
vancing to its completion. The size of the tunnel is
20 feet deep, with a towing-path five feet, making
the whole width 27 feet, and the height from top-
water to the under side of the arch twenty-four feet six
inches : from the great depth and width of the water-
way, great facility is thus afforded to the various ves-
sels passing through ; which vessels may also navi-
gate the Thames, and the canals branching from the
north and west. The tunnel is already navigable for
a considerable distance at Higham, on the Gravesend
side. There is a fine lock, 30 feet wide, with three
pair of iron gates, and capacious basin, which com-
municates in a direct line with the tunnel, which also
is in a forward state on the Rochester side of the work.
A great deal of fine chalk, fit for lime and repairing
sea-walls, and immense quantities of the best black
flints, calculated for the china potteries and other
uses, have been excavated during the progress of the
work, much of which has been sold, and some chalk
even sent to St. Petersburgh.
In the chalk, near Lewes, Mr. MANTELL disco-
vered, a few days ago, three vertebra of the cele-
brated fossil animal of kaestricht. This is the first
instance of the remains of that oviparous quadruped
being found in this country, or in any part of the
Continent, excepting in St. Peter's Mountain, near
Maestricht.
