The work commenced on the tunnel the 5th . day «f duly, ls70, and will, In all probability, re¬ quire another year to complete It. The esti¬ mated cost is not much less than one and a half millions ot dollars, from the west entrance of the tnnnel to the Kastern Branch. Most of the stone m*el for arching, and aide walla, is brought from the Potomac blue stone .luarriea, above George- i1'vM irounu ou scovt to the navy yard bridge, from which point It is hauled to the tunnel. I our heavy derricks are used for lower- ingthe stone to the places In the tunnel, and a pe rfect net-work of gny-ropes obatract the wav to the vicinity of Garrison street and Virginia avenue, giving a busy appearance to this part of the rlty. \ A large number of railroad ties are in readi¬ ness, piled up on the banks of the Eastern Branch, aud the steel raila will soon be cumint in tor this section of the road. Some of them are already on the ground, and will be laid tJ»i» season. Operations at THE Lose BRtDCC are also progressing as rapidly as possible, con- sieie ring the <i:t»iciilti«-s the company have to eortend with and the extent of the work to be accemp .die.L The causeway from the Virginia »he>re to the abuu.i, i,r i completed, save where an aiertiire has been left open for the plauk. way to the water, on the ui»per siele, and on «l.ich tlie heavy stones are itnloa<ied from the! toa?- and rolled to the top ot the causeway where they are cnt an.l fitted for their places'! Th:s abutment wall of blue stone, laid in b><Irauhc cciucnt, with the cop'ng of light -and- ste ne, presents a very subatanUal appeaiance. and is pronounced a ^o. 1 job by good judge*. Between this abutment and the cnannel the re are tour stone piers-, almost completed, and be¬ tween the channel and the abutment on the se^uth end ot the center causeway there are eight piers now being consir ucted. making twtlwe alto- getker, besides the draw piers at the channel.

These logs are brought from Aceotink creek and fiimiahed by Captain Troth. The piers are p.aced as tar as practicable on the jutes of the olel ones, as the foundations there are thought to be more secure. The work of building one of the^e pie rs is verj slow ami teelious ; five rows ot piles have to be driven close together, the wi.tib o# the bndge *dtk a two toot space be¬ tween each row.

This is done by means of an in- grmoMs machine contrived by tJhier Ehgioeer Partridge, and consists or a circular saw at¬ tached to an upright iron shaft, kept In position by a heavy ami well braced framework and .Inven by a six-horse engine, the whole con¬ structed on a flat boat and movable abont. where ."ver wanted. This iron shaft can be lowered or raised to any eieaireel point, and a belt which l>af«es around the small drum through which runs the shaft, and around a larger one near the engine at the rear of the boat, drives this saw W . V*1®* M above water, and cuts off the piles with great ease, making a level surface to receive the timbers. Tho piles are then secured in place by 14-inch square oak timbers, which ye placed along on the rows of piles and ! secured by a k»ng heavy holt of iron driven ttirough and .leepinto each pile. Across these are then laid a close flooring of Li-inch s<iuare «ak timber, bolted down in the same manner to the bottom timbers. A frame work of the same size timbe r is then placed around the border of thi« floor and bolted down, forming a kiu.i of square solid oak bo* on the top and 12 inches deep.

No Injunction bill has yet been filed by the persons who proposed to take legal proceedings a ith a riew to impede the improvement of the District, bnt Mr. W. 8. Cox ha* prepared a bill which it is said will be filed this afternoon or to-morrow. It is drawn , in the name of .eventcen person*. (and lo! A. Grant's name leads all the rent) against H. D. Cooke and the members of trie Board of Public Works, the Secretary, Comptroller and Treasurer of the District. A. Grant & Co. com¬ plain in the bill that the Governor is about to issue bonds under a pretended act of the lx-(fi¬ lature. designated permanent Improvem-nt bonds; that said Secretary is about to counter¬ sign them, and that the proceeds of the sale ot' tLtm it is proi«nsed to be disbursed on warrants at the judgment and discretion of said Board, and the sal.l acts will be highly injurious to them. They further state that they believe the aggregate debt of the District already amount* to fi3.34!M24 : tliat the fc.=esptfd value of the property of the Di-trict is as follows: Washing ton, *tU,f>13,378; Georgetown, #*>.213.4«7; countv, *l,96B,WfSS: making a total of #n,t»1.MlXI. Thev state that by law the aggregate debt can¬ not be increased beyond five per centum of the assessed value of the property unless authority be given by a majority of the voters at a regular election; that the whole amount of debt the I*eg-* islatnre may contract without submitting the oncstkm to the people is 473.70. for that amount added to tho existing indebtedness would amount to #3,839.-TW-TO, wMtn latter sum is 6 per centum of -the aggregate of the last as¬ sessment. They further charge that tho said bill has not been officially published, that it is null and void, and contrary to the organic act. They therefore ask relief by writ of injunction, &c.

. day «f duly, ls70, and will, In all probability, re¬quire another year to complete It. The esti¬mated cost is not much less than one and a halfmillions ot dollars, from the west entrance of thetnnnel to the Kastern Branch. Most of the stonem*el for arching, and aide walla, is brought fromthe Potomac blue stone .luarriea, above George-

i1'vM irounu ou scovt to the navyyard bridge, from which point It is hauled to thetunnel. I our heavy derricks are used for lower-ingthe stone to the places In the tunnel, and ape rfect net-work of gny-ropes obatract the wavto the vicinity of Garrison street and Virginiaavenue, giving a busy appearance to this part ofthe rlty. \A large number of railroad ties are in readi¬

beo of the ruer, into a hard gravel bottom.These logs are brought from Aceotink creek

and fiimiahed by Captain Troth. The piers arep.aced as tar as practicable on the jutes of theolel ones, as the foundations there are thought tobe more secure. The work of building one ofthe^e pie rs is verj slow ami teelious ; five rowsot piles have to be driven close together, thewi.tib o# the bndge *dtk a two toot space be¬tween each row.

This is done by means of an in-grmoMs machine contrived by tJhier EhgioeerPartridge, and consists or a circular saw at¬tached to an upright iron shaft, kept In positionby a heavy ami well braced framework and.Inven by a six-horse engine, the whole con¬structed on a flat boat and movable abont. where."ver wanted. This iron shaft can be lowered orraised to any eieaireel point, and a belt whichl>af«es around the small drum through whichruns the shaft, and around a larger one near theengine at the rear of the boat, drives this saw

the piles with great ease, making a level surfaceto receive the timbers. Tho piles are thensecured in place by 14-inch square oak timbers,which ye placed along on the rows of piles and !secured by a k»ng heavy holt of iron driventtirough and .leepinto each pile. Across theseare then laid a close flooring of Li-inch s<iuare«ak timber, bolted down in the same manner tothe bottom timbers.

.at Iajaartisa Bill.

No Injunction bill has yet been filed by thepersons who proposed to take legal proceedingsa ith a riew to impede the improvement of theDistrict, bnt Mr. W. 8. Cox ha* prepared a billwhich it is said will be filed this afternoon orto-morrow. It is drawn , in the name of.eventcen person*. (and lo! A. Grant'sname leads all the rent) against H. D.Cooke and the members of trie Board ofPublic Works, the Secretary, Comptroller andTreasurer of the District. A. Grant & Co. com¬plain in the bill that the Governor is about toissue bonds under a pretended act of the lx-(fi¬lature. designated permanent Improvem-ntbonds; that said Secretary is about to counter¬sign them, and that the proceeds of the saleot' tLtm it is proi«nsed to be disbursedon warrants at the judgment and discretionof said Board, and the sal.l acts will behighly injurious to them. They further statethat they believe the aggregate debt of theDistrict already amount* to fi3.34!M24 :tliat the fc.=esptfd value of the property ofthe Di-trict is as follows: Washington,*tU,f>13,378; Georgetown, #*>.213.4«7; countv,*l,96B,WfSS: making a total of #n,t»1.MlXI.Thev state that by law the aggregate debt can¬not be increased beyond five per centum of theassessed value of the property unless authoritybe given by a majority of the voters at a regularelection; that the whole amount of debt the I*eg-*islatnre may contract without submitting theoncstkm to the people is 473.70. for thatamount added to tho existing indebtednesswould amount to #3,839.-TW-TO, wMtn latter sumis 6 per centum of -the aggregate of the last as¬sessment. They further charge that tho saidbill has not been officially published, that it isnull and void, and contrary to the organic act.They therefore ask relief by writ of injunction,&c.
