Mercury will flow downwards when a hole is made at the top part of the tube. The atmospheric pressure exerted on the mercury in the vessels supports the mercury level in the tube. When a hole is made at the top, air enters the tube and the pressure is distributed throughout uniformly and hence the mercury level comes down.
