TrNNELLING TIE ST. LAWRENCE. - The

llocheaga and Longueuil will make applica-
ton to Parliament in few days for charter

plans have been perfected by a city architect,
and rough estimate of the work has been
made. A syndicate have the matter in hand,
and il is said that there are men of wealth
bchindthe syndicate who are able and anxious
to have the work pushed through. The
tunnel is to lead under the river from Hoche-
lnga to the Longueuil ferry, upon the south
side of the river, and will be some eighty
feet below the surface of the river, with
double tracks for the railways. but with no
accommodation for foot passengers or horse
traffic. Surveys have already been made,
and the plan is declared quite feasible

nancial basis The boring, it il stated by
the promoters, will he through black rock,
with occasional blue clay and boulders, and

The cost of the tunnel is estimated at 50,

up the matter think it might he built for
even less than that amount. The north

orr esteemed religious contemporary, the
Vermont CdroHicl., in an article on the re-
cent session Of the Troy VI. f. Conference in
Ills city, remarks that the Methodist minis
icrs are all agreed in fellowship and doc
trine." This does not quite accord with our
observation. We found, as probably every
one dill who talked much with the Methodist
clergymcn assembled here. considerable vari-
anoe OF views among them on matters both
of their church polily and Of doctrine. The
Ctroh'ciC also says that "A man who should
teach that the Scriptures Lad mistakes and
falsehoods IN them could not be tolerated in
the Methodist ministry" Perhaps not. as To
the " falschoods :" hat we fancy tla, a
Methodist minister, otherwise in good stand

take in the Scriptures Of -. Paul, which de
