THAMES TLIXXEL. To the Editor of the Morning Courier Enquirer: Sir, I have been induced by the accurate and pleisino- account of. the Thames Tunnel, in your paper, to give yoa a short personal narrative as a companion to it. Being in England in 107, on a visit of observation, this great excavation, then in progress, was a very popular subject of conversation, and I made frequent visits to it, net only with a view to examine the tenacity and depth of those beds of the tertiary formation; through which it was carried under the river, but also to study the construction of the work. The main shaft was sunk at Kotherhithe, a short distance from the Thames, in the following novel manner. The curb, I think one hundred feet high, was built gradually upon the ground, and sunk into the main as fast as the digging and removing of materials inside could be effected. When the curb was at a sufficient depth and finished, it became a regular shaft, with a spiral staircase, leading to the lateral excavations, constituting the parallel passages or galleries you have spoken of. One fine diy I conducted a party of friends, including some ladies, into the tunnel, which was then vigorously going on, and had advanced, I think, (I have not my notes with me,) about six hundred feet from the shore, which is less than one half the whole distance. The galleries, to a certain distance, were finished and stuccoed, and almost resplendent with gaslights, which had already been introduced into this excavation. I could read small print with the greatest ease. The i3ta thus illuminated, its extent, the novelty of their situation beneath the bed of the river, communicated a calm and pleasing tone to the minis of the party, which almost seemed to forbid apprehensions of a painful nature. The extreme end of the gallery, and to which the gaslight did not extend, were imperfectly visible to us by the lights belonging to the shield or buckler in the compartments of which the workmen had their stations. Young Mr. Brunei, whose generous conduct you have so justly described, had the kindness to accompany me to the extreme end, and gave me another opportunity of examining the mineral substances. On our return to the party, .1 stopped at a stream of water, proceeding from a temporary wooden conductor, and which appeared tome on bur way to' the workmen, to be unusual. The discharge was thicker than my arm. In answer to a remark I made to him, Mr. Brunei simply said it was drainage: by his manner I did not feel encouraged to make further enquiries about it. It frequently, however, passed through my mind, that I had never observed so great a quantity before, and that it was not a favorable indication of the soil in the central parts of the river, and I spoke of it to my friends as such. The next day I was at dinner at Woolwich with some friends of the Artillery, when an officer'arrived from London with the intelligence that the river had forced its way through the roof of the tunnel and filled it. It was subsequently ascertained that the drainage had gone on increasing, until the beds were unable to resist the pressure of the river. Every body in London spoke of this sinister event, as a calamity. ' The celebrated Dr. Wooluston, who was beloved of every body, was the chief patron, and one of the principal stockholders of the undertaking. There was much sympathy for him in this disappointment. His life had been, as it were, one great act of usefulness to mankind, and this was a new and brilliant field for his philosophic mind. But he met the event with equanimity, and applied the powers of his very inventive mind, in concert with 3Ir. Brunei, to examine the nature of the disaster, and consider the proper means to remedy it. The result was a determination to stop the hole if possible, by means of an extensive tarpaulin to be stretched over it, and loaded down with iron and ballast to resist the action of the tides, A diving bell was immediately conveyed to the spot, and the work prosecuted in the river, whilst a steam engine was applied to the main shaft to carry off the water, with which the tunnel was full. After contending for some time with the tides, the tunnel as you have stated, was lowered so as to give eight feet clear to the roof, and admit a boat. Whilst these operations were going on, I used to visit Rotherhithe every day, and as soon as matters were in the favorable state just described, and admitting of our free examination of the inundated work, I proposed to some friends to devote a day to it, and having apprized Mr. Brunei of our intended visit, Professor Sedgewick of Cambridge, Roderick Impey Murchison, Esqr., the two distinguished exPresidents of the Geological Society of London, and Prince Charles Bonaparte, who had made the voyage to England with me, and myself, drove down, and were instantly, on our arrival, taken by Mr. Brunei, Jr. on board the craft where the diving bell was. Mr.-Brunei first went down with Professor Sedgewick and myself. None of our party had ever descended in a bell before, and it certainly was a moment of unalloyed enjoyment to us. The admirable system adopted by Mr. Brunei, and which enabled him by certain strokes upon the metal to communicate every instant our situation, satisfied us we were in no danger, and therefore left us entirely at liberty to make our observations, standing comfortably on the bottom of the river, and both on our descent and ascent to laugh heartily at the pricking sensation produced in us, and the crackling in our ears, from the pressure and subsequent expansion of the air. ."With me it never amounted, as with others, to any thing painful, and even the inconvenience of it was eoon remedied by giving a slight artificial action to

the lungs. On our return, ad summas aures, it be came the turn of our friends to descend. One of i them had suddenly get into a quandary; he believed himself subject to apoplexy and so forth, but we would not listen to these misgivings, and told him that although the Bonapartes did not succeed very well by water, yet they were perfectly safe in an English river, and so go he must: he very goodnaturedly complied with our wishes, and on his favorable emersion, thanked us for persuading him into the enterpize. Our adventures did not end here. Mr. Brunei now took us to the main shall which we descended, and entered into the boat: he had previously sent a man to put up a light at the furthest end. We had no light in the boat, it was entirely dark around us, and when we had got some distance from the main ehaft, the contrast it afforded between the moment I had last visited it, lighted up in all its beauty, and the scene enlivened by the admiration of a gay and fashionable party, was extreme: indeed, we seemed rather like a group of unfortunate ghosts, cautiously groping along in the dark on our way to the Court of Minos and . Rhadamanthus, with our imaginations not a little busied with "mishapen dangers to come." When we were perhaps about 200 feet from the light, Mr. Brunei ordered the man to stop the boat, and told us that every thing was perfectly safe, and that it was only from excess of precaution he suggested to us, that if the river should again break into the Tunnel during our examination, the safest plan" was for each of as to leave the boat as quick as possible, and swim to the main shaft, because the boat, as soon as the tunnel should fill, would jam up against the roof, and keep every body there who should nnfortunatelv be in it. It was now discover ed that some of our party could not swim, and a proposition was made to return . There was however a majority against it. Mr. Brunei undertook to save the Prince, I was to aid Mr. Murchison, and Professor Sedgewick being a parson, it was concluded Heaven would take care of him. On therefore we

I went, laughing and scolding, all of us unquiet, and each telling the other to sit still, when on a sudden

a most unexpected and appalling splash was heard which brought all our nerves into action. "The River, the River jump out," was the cry, and still greater was the confusion. It was a trying moment for us all; we believed at first the river to have broken in; but being tall, and finding I was not nearer the roof whilst standing up in the boat than I was before, I came to the conclusion that the water was not rising; neither did the noise upon rejection appear to me to correspond to our apprehensions. I therefore prevented, by main force, the most timid of our friends from jumping overboard. In the mean time, Mr. 31. who took this incident in his usual cool manner, hearing a noise of struggling near the boat, put his handout and caught hold of a man's head, which we soon got on board with his person along with it. It was young Mr. Brunei! Our confusion had rocked the boat, he was standing forward to look out, and had fallen into the water. , This terminated our excursion; it was necessary to return to procure a change for our amiable young friend, whose conduct during the day endeared him very much to us. Dr. Woolaston dined with us, the s ime day, and in his quiet sly way made a good deal of our adventure. This was intended to be an amusing, rather than an instructive letter. I will however mention that. Dr. Woolaston informed me that the breaking in of the river was owing to the imperfect geological examination, its bed had received, previous to the commencement of the excavation; and 3Ir. Brunei added, that he had directed borings to be made in a proper manner along the whole line of the work, and that the individual appointed to this important examination, having affected borings on each side of the river, had taken it for granted the whole bed of the river was of the same thickness, and had sent in a report accordingly. Whereas the real state of the case was, and which would have been made known, had he faithfully executed his duty, that the clay beds thinned off towards the centre, and that there was a sort of quick sand where the river broke in both times. If ever in the progress of constructions in this country, capitalists should turn their attention to a tunnel cither at New York or Albany, there is no tertiary formation to deceive them. They will have to adopt the expensive but secure mode of cutting their way through the primary rocks, which underlie the waters of those districts. G. W, F. An Uncommon Wedding. About a fortnight ago a wedding took place at the Collegiate Church, under circumstances which we should suppose are without a parallel in the annals of matrimony. The parties we are told reside in the neighborhood of St. George's road; and, as our information goes, some weeks since the bride declared in a company of female acquaintances, that she would give three pounds to any one who would marry her husband and take him off her hands. "Will you!" cried one of the company, "I'll do it," and without further ceremony the bargain was concluded. When the husband was consulted he expressed himself quite willing to make the transfer of his 'troth' to the adventurous damsel, and on the 19th ult. they proceeded to the Collegiate Church in a body, the wife officiating as bridesmaid, and the uncle as groomsman to the happy pair. At the altar the self discarded wifetook the ring from her finger and presented it to the bridegroom to place upon that of his new bride, and when the nuptial ceremony was ended, she duly paid over to her successor the three pounds, which had been agreed upon as the price of her liberty, and presented the new married couple with a cart-load of furniture towards the formation of a new domestic establishment! Of course the peculiar circumstances of the case were not made known to the clergyman who performed the ceremony. London paper Sea Anecdotfs. A Captain of a ship observed in crossing the Atlantic that whenever there was an appearance of a squall, that the first Mate was always under the influence of liquor he told the ship steward, who was a smart intelligent fellow to watch the Mate and see where he got the spirits: A few evenings after, the wind blew fresh and the steward saw the mate take from the chest, a large jug, pour some liquid into a glass, drink it off, then put the jug in the chest, and hastened upon deck. The Captain wras soon informed of the result by the steward; he kept, however, his own counsel, watched an opportunity and put into the jug a tolerably strong dose of tartar emetic, which he shook so as to incorporate with the rum. In the next gale of wind the Mate appeared on" deck and soon showed he had taken freely of the delightful beverage, as it began to operate pretty powerfully, The Captain excused his attendance and permitted him to retire to his birth. Next day at dinner the Captain handed the rum bottle to his Mate, but he turned from it with disgust, and during the remainder of the voyage abstained from all intoxicating liquors, and became afterwards remarkable for his temperance. The jug was emptied of its precious cc ;go by the steward, who had received orders from the Mate. But he thought it a pity to waste so much liquor, therefore gave a large bowl of it to the Cook, who, in consequence was unfit for duty the next day, as the Captain gave him a dose of medicine to remove his bile, which he gave as the cause of his sudden indisposition, being ashamed to avow the truth. It appeared, afterwards when Black John was offered a drink he refused: 'No massa, dat rum is not rood, it makes me bilious.' John had a strong aversion to rum in consequence and eoidd not be induced again to drink any, as he thought it stirred up the bile. A case similar in some respects to Mrs. Chapman's recently occurred at Pottsville. On the 8th inst. a man named Smith died suddenly, and was buried tho same afternoon. This with some other circumstances created suspicion, and the body was disinterred on tho following Sunday, in the presence of two physicians and some other persons. It was found swollen and black, and exhibiting indications of poison. The stomach was taken out and forwarded to Dr. Mitchell for analyzation No opinion has. yet been given. Doylcstoicn Democrat. Columbus, Ixn. Sept. 21. At tho time our last paper went to press, the sentence of the law had not been pronouncod on John Jones; and the trial of Cader Heron was then progressing. About dark on I'nuay evening the jury retired to their room, and in two or three hours returned into court with a verdict of GUILTY. On Saturday morning, the prisoners were bro't into court, when Judge Morris pronounced the sentence of death upon them. The day set for their execution is Friday the eleventh of October next. The trial of Jesse Williams, indicted for perjury then came on, and after a patient investigation of the case, which hsted till near night, the jury retired, and after a few minutes returned with a verdict of GUILTY; he was sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Slate's Prison and fined one dollar Chronicle.

Important Li:tti:r. The following letter, say? the New Yoik Commercial Advertiser, from Mexico, is not only of a late dale, hut from a high ami authenticated source. The writer his opportunities of acquiring information, and funning opinions, possessed by few. "Mexico, 17th July, 1S33. We me once more in civil war, and how long it may endure none can predict. The leaders in the new plan (so called) are among the most distinguished and popuhr officers in the whole Mexican army, and hive already attracted to their standard most of their regular troons. Several affairs have already occurred be

tween the army of the Government and the rcvolters, but terminating always in the defeat of the troops of the government. The President, General Santa Anna, ins taken command of the army in person and much is expected from him. His star may once more gain the ascendant, and like Bonaparte, he relies on his star hut in nothing else is he like that hero of an hundred battles. My own opinion is decidedly that Santa Anna must be beaten, and lie will either fall in with the views of the pronunciados or be put down. Strong suspicions are entertained, and, rumors are already abroad, that the Ilevolters and the President understand each oth er; that he' secretly favors their plan and connives ' at their movements. The bas:s of the new plan is the creation of a Dictator with the powers of the Autocrat of all the liussias, and perhaps the title of the Executive may. in a short time, be changed to King or Emperor, but we know the style or title, matters little, so the Executive lias the power. "A rose by any other n ime would smell as sweet." "Those who pretend to know the President best, say ho has always hankered after royalty, and we shall very probably see that problem solved in six or eight weeks." On the night of the 25th ult. the dwelling house ofWm. Simnis of Goochland, Va. was consumed by fire. He and his wife were aroused from sleep by the smoke and heat the adjoining room was in flames ho escaped through the door, taking his coat and pantaloons in Ins hand. Mrs. S. jumped j uui ai uiu wmuow wun ner miant in ner arms Three of his children, by a former marriage, were asleep up stairs the stairway in flames Simms fired his gun in hopes to arouse them but in vain ho then got an old ladder from an adjacent house, on which he ascended burst in the window, and got tho two eldest children down without difficulty ho returned for the third, a little boy about six years old he was running about tho room in search of the door,some moments elapsed before S. could get hold of him, at that instant the flames burst into the room burnt hi3 (Simms) cyo brows and hair, and scorched his face almost suffocated he reached the window and got down with the child. Tho house with the whole of its remaining contents (except a counterpane which was within reach of tho window, and which for tho night was Mrs. S'. only clothing) was soon a heap of ashes. Etchmond Whig. Attcmpt to Murder. Tn Sandwich Monument Village, a man by the namo of Joshua Arey, of in temperate Habits on tho iid inst. entered tho store ofElisha Perry, Esq.. passed round behind the counter, went up to Perry, and with a knife which he held in Ins hand stabbed him in his stomach and left tho knife remaining in him. Arey declared that ho meant to kill Perry, and that there were also some others that he wished to kill. There were, at tho time, several persons in tho store. He was immediately arrested and carried to Barnstable, where tho court was then sitting. On Wednesday he had his trial, and was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment in the State Prison. Perry is likely to recover. ZiorCs Herald. Latest from Madeira. Tho brig Forest, Captain Trathen, arrived at this port from Funchal, Madeira, sailed July 30. Wo are indebted to Captain Trathen for the following intelligence: The political state of Madeira was undisturbed tho inhabitants were silently watching tho transactions of the conflicting parties in tho northern country. Tho island, however, is decidedly for Miguel, and nothing but a very strong force could subjugate it, garrisoned as it now is. A few days before the Forest left, the Miguelite brig of war Tagus of twenty guns, arrived at Funchal, having made her escape when the squadron was taken; some of her yards and masts were crippled by grape shot. It is known for a certainty at Madeira, that the action between tho two squadrons lasted three hours, and the loss of officers and men was consid erable on both sides. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Dog.

Whenever an attempt was made to coax him away, he howled so piteously, that those who heard him, declared it was distressing to hear him. But when force was used, he met it with savage and ungovernable fury. Tho neighbors, taking compassion on him, gave him food every day, but the faithful creature rejected it with indifference. He clung to the only memorial which he possessed of his master, with the tenacity which nothing could shako until death at last camo to relieve his broken and affectionate heart. Who can hear adds the Whig of instances of such noble affection, affection which can possibly have its origin in no mean or interested motive, and not feel his sympathies deeply moved for tho whole race.

London Paper. A Xcw Pec House. We have seen a bee bouse, the method of constructing which was introduced which is said to be a very valuable improvement. Several individuals have tried it, with entire success. It consists of a house of brick or wood, (if of wood, standing on stakes,) say of tho size of a common smoke house, with a door to admit of the entrance of a man. Tho bees pass in and out through several apertures resembling spouts, arranged in rows on each side. These spouts project six inches, and tho holo is perhaps tw o or three inches wide by from an eighth to one half an inch in height. Tho benefits of this method arc paid to be these: The bees never swarm, but continue filling up the house; the honey may be easily taken out when the bees retire to tho bottom of the combs in cold weather; nnd it is said to be an infallible preventive of tho worm, and tho licht fingers of the night gentry.
