There is au immense gully in the Matterhorn which lead* up from the Glacier du Mont Cenrin to a point high up oil the south-eastern ridge. I proposed to ascend this to its bead, aud to cross over the south east ridge-on to the eastern face. This would hare brought u* on a level with the bottom of the great snow- slope. This snow slope was to be crossed diagoually, with the view of arriviog at the suow ujion the north east ridge. The remainder of the ascent was to be made by the broken rocks, mixed with snow, upon the north side of the mountain. We started at 5:45 a. m., on Jane 21, and followed the route of the Breuiljoch for three hours. We were then in full view of oar gaily, and turned off at right angles for it. The closer we approached the more favorable did it look. There was a good deal of snow in it, which was evi dently at a small angle, and* it seem ed as if ooe-third of the ascent, at least, wonld be a very simple matter. Some suspicious marks iu the snow at its base suggested that its was not free from tolling stones, and as a measure of precaution we turned off on one side, worked up nnder cover of the cliffs, and waited to a— if anything should descend. Nothing toil, so we proceeded np its right or northern side, sometimes catting the steps np the snow, and some times mounting by the rocks. Short ly before 10 A. m., we arrived at a convenient place for a halt, and stopped to rest upon some rocks close to the snow which commanded an excellent view of the gully. While the men were unpacking the food, I went to a little promon tory to examine our proposed route mere narrowly, and to admire oar noble couloir, which led straight up to the heart of the mountain for fully oue thousand teet. It then beat toward the north, aud rau up to the crest of the south eastern ridge. My curioftity was piqued to know' what was round this comer, and whifet I was gazing np at it, and following with the eye exqui sitely drawn curves which wandered down the snow iu the gully, all con verging to a large rat in its ecu tie, I saw a feiv little stones skidding down. I consoled myself with think ing they would not interfere with us if we adhered to the side. But theu a larger one came dowu, a solitary fellow, rusbiug at the rate of sixty miles an hoar—and anot h er—and another. I was unwilling to rouse the fears of the men un- uecssarily, and said uothing to them. They did not hear the stones.

Without being discour aged by their exclamations, he formed s alkie, or trough, of twenty-four thousand pine trees, aix feet Inroad, and from three to aix feet deep} aud this slide, which was completed in 1812 (aud called the slide of A1 punch, from the uamc of the place where It was situated,) was kept moist. Its length was forty ■-four thou sand English feet. It had to be conducted over rooks, or aioug their sides, or uuder ground, or over deep 'gorges when* it was sustained by scaffoldings, aud yet skill and per severance overcame every obstacle— aud tbe tbiug was done. The trees rushed trout the mountain into tbe lake with wonderful rapidity. The larger pines, which we— about a hundred feet long, ran through tbe space of eight miles aud a third iu about six minutes.
