THAMES TUNNEL. 

 In consequence of a report that had reached us, 

 that the exertions of Mr. Brunei had been suc- 

 cessful in closing the aperture ii-to the tunnel, we, 

 this morning, made inquiries into the correctness 



of the fact, and are now most happy to confirm its j gregation, if God have any work for you to do 

 truth. The leakage, or rather the rush of water | that place 



has been slopped, and the engine was rapidly I v t .1 . .1 • .■

A good story is told of the dreadful consequen- 

 ces of wearing a shabby hat. It lost the owner, 

 during the experiment, love, friendship, and res-

The pumping having the latter object in view, 

 is now going on but slowly. The engine was set 

 at work again this morning at 2 o'clock, and its 

 full powers, when considered prudent to clear out, 

 not alone the shaft but the arch, v ays, may be de- 

 termined by the fact, that it yesterday discharged 

 6,400 cubic feet of water per hour, and emptied

Means of preventiii^- Intemperance. 



1. Give children a good,education. Ignoran 

 and drunkenness ore very- concomitant evils. 



2. Sabbath School instruction. 



3. Full employment in early life. Whcr 

 person has nothing to do he will invariably 

 •omething worse than nothing. 



4. Make home a happy place. Parents r 

 children should conspire to render the domes 

 fire-side the dearest place on earth. 



5. Let parents be particular as to the comp; 

 with which they permit their children to associ; 



C. Teach them that the physical effects of 

 temperate drinking are highly injurous. 



Let parents sot an example of the strict 

 temperance. 



8. Encourage the laborious part of commun 

 to deposit their surplus wages in the Savii 

 Banks.
