In regard to the tunnel connection between France and England, it appears that the boring operation undertaken at Sangette, on tbe French side, is not the beginning of the shaft from which the tunnel is to be bored, but is simply an experimental bore-hole, some 600 or 600 jards above the Tillage, and about 100 yards from the shore. It was found necessary, however, to suspend the work because of the too rapid infiltration of water, rendering essential the construction of a new pump of doable the capacity of the first one—that is, one which can raise about 700 gallons t> minute. The shaft for the tunnel, when it is begun, is to be sunk in the village itself, and to such a depth as the experiments now making shall show to be requisite. The experimental shaft is to be sunk to a depth of some 260 feet, the diemeter of tbe bore being eleven feet. In 1863 the total deposits in the small savings banks of England, which are chiefly patronised by the working classes/ amounted to £27,187,401, or an average of less than £9 to each depositor. In 1873 the number of depositors had largely increased, and the deposits had amounted to £63,471,412, or almost £16 per depositor. The returns for 1879 show an increase over the figures of 1873.
