On boarding her they found that she had been abandoned during the night. Accordingly they took possession of the derelict vessel, which was loaded with coals, and brought her safclv into the Harbour.

On Saturday evening, between five and "six o'clock, the Kuphfuiin's boat was found oast ashore near the mouth of the Philorth. A sho; distance from the town the Guard also picked up on the shore several hags containing seamen's clothing, and other necessaries, which would indicate, what ti.wo is only too good reason to fear, that the crew -five in number, able have ail perished.

This structure ov. mo 1 i nd i i i has an invert of brick for about half its length. The south- ern face has a pleasing appearance the ring of the arch, the parapet the string courses, and the side pi Bars being of freestone ashlar, and the spandrils and pilasters of rustic granite ashlar.

As the Railway Company was bound to construct the Wool-nianhilT tunnel so as to provide the greatest possible degree of quietness and security for the Eoyal Infirmary, wluch is close proximity to it, the rails (instead of being laid on sleepers placed crosswise in the ordinary form) are of a vignoll section, with flat bottom, and are set down on longitudinal balks, 27 feet in length, and 12 inches in breadth by 6 in depth. These beams, again, are strongly fastened at short distances by cross ties." By experiments, it has been ascertained that the inmates of the Hospital will not bo in the slightest disturbed by the passing trains, neither by the scream of tlie whistle. The bridge carrying John Street over the railway is a cast-iron one, 45 feet broad, and 151 feet 4 inches in height above i.i, Lninft- vnt.hnr InwpT thfi.u tlie crown of the tunnel.

Small brick arches aro thrown in between the cast-iron girders, and a coating of asplialte and with paving above completes the roadway. From thence to Maberly Street is an open cutting, with a retaining wall of solid masonry on eitner suie, varying iu auLwuiufi 6l.n(L 0,0 The iviaoeriy otreei, uuiuioi jaum terminates on the north side of Hutoheon Street, It differs somewhat in form from the other, being constructed nearly in the form ot a semi-circie. it is uarc.y so wide as the lower tunnel, being scarcely 20 feet but its height, 17 feet, is considerably greater. The reason of this difference is, that the north tunnel has to support a greater weight of superincumbent earth than the south, and required to be stronger and besides, the south tunnel, for want of head room, could not be built higher. On account of the elliptical shape of this lastthe abutments required to ne maua a good deal stronger than was necessary for the Maberly one, wo in the buildiiiE.

the one has been made about the same strength as the other.

While the difficulties that had to be surmounted in the construction of the Woolmanhill Tunnel were great, those that were met in the Maberley Street one were much greater, In the one case there was the extreme danger, in cutting through boiling sand, of the houses on either side of the cutting loosening at their foundations, and falling in while in the other, no little risk was occasioned, in the centre of a thickly-populated locality, by the blasting of a stratum of rock, which was unexpectedly encountered the course of tlie workmen's operations and in the construction of both tunnels no little inconvenience was caused by the network of gas and water-works, which had all to be hung upon beams laid across the cuttings. The contractor, no doubt, felt that he had got more than he bargained for, when he came across the stratum of rock above alluded to.

The quantity of rock coarse red granite taken out of the tunnel was upwards of 5000 cubic yards measurement. The stones obtained by blasting wore made serviceable for building walls, and in tho same way tho sand and gravel found in the Woolmanhill tunnel were made available. are informed that, but for this unforeseen circumstance of coming upon the rock, the works would have been completed about three months sooner. A number of interdicts hy private parties also caused much detention in the progress of the works and after all, of course, certain alterations had to be made, as is usually the case with undertakings of a similar kind. The only wonder is, taking all things into account, that we have the line opened bo soon as it is.

It may be hero stated that both tunnels were executed from the top, none of them being sufficiently deep to necessitate pieroing The average depth of the Woolmanhill tunnel is from the surface, 22 feet; and that of the Maberley Street tunnel 35 feet. In the cutting of the latter, as in ha been con(hloted in pipes to the the former, copious springs ot wator were discoveieii a station for the supplying of locomotives.
