The Thames Tunnei The large timber
raft intended to lie OH the bed of the river,
over the leak, was let down late on Wcdnes
day evening. The engine was set to WORK
as soon as it was ascertained that the raft
lay on the bottom, and when they had sue
ceedcd in reducing the water some FIVE or
SIX feet in the tannel, it was discovered that
al further attic 'npts At reduction were use
less. 1t was then tried whether by stopping
he working of the steam engine the height
q the water in the tunnel and shaft would
increase or diminish, and the result was
gradual, but unremltting increase. At an
earIy hour yesterday, one or two descents in
Tie diving bell were made with view to
sec the cause of the failure, and Mr. Brunei,
INC younger, reported that the raft did not
nc on the bed Of the river. that it had drift
ed some distance from the leakv spot. A.
nong the many proposed plans to obviate
az dangers, which are daily forwarded to
me Directors, are to lay tarpaulips Of sufii-


cent size, and to deposit round the edges
quantity Of clay bags to keep them water


We learn from the latest papers, that


Ar. Brunei has made a favorable report as
