THAMES TUNNEL.


BY the last accounts the stupendous nroiect of
excavating Tunnel, or passage way for Carra.
ges and travellers, under the Ricey Thames at
London, was proceeding with great rapdty and
success. The distance excavated was 400 feet
from the shaft, and the workment were engaged
270 feet undertlle river. The most formidable
obstrctions anticipated, viz: the land Springs or
quick sands, had been surlnounted. The work
people are relieved every eight hours. The
company could beneiically employ more hands
than offer themselves, but there still existed ma
ny ignorant working people, who thought they
must encounter extraordinary danger of being
engnlphed by the river, if they engaged in this
underwater employment.
