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

obstrctions anticipated, viz: the land Springs or

must encounter extraordinary danger of being
engnlphed by the river, if they engaged in this
underwater employment.
