canal. Here the road commences a stupendous ascent, of a mile and a half in continuation ; so that, Avere it not that the tunnel proclaims its own won- der, being in lenc^th three miles and a quarter, cut through the middle of a solid mountain, — the face of the country altogether would seem to bid de- fiance to such a work of art. The cost is said to have been 300, 000/. , which brings tlie expense to 1 1. 5s. 3^c/. Per inch ; but notwithstanding the line is regularly worked, the undertaking h...as failed to reimburse the original proprietors. As the dimen- sions are too small to admit of two boats passing each other during their passage through, strict regulations are enforced as to the times when they are permitted to enter at either end. Accordingly they adopt intervals of four hours, continually during day and night ; when the towing horses are sent over the hill in charge of a man, who receives sixpence for conducting each horse. The span of the circular aperture is about ten feet ; the heiglit not sufficient to allow a man to stand upright in the boat, — those used in this navigation being of a narrow, compact build, suited to the service, and capable of carrying from twelve to twenty tons.
