We have been requested by Mr. Robert Stephen son to publish the following letter addressed by him to the editor of the Austrian Gazette : " Sir,—The Austrian Gazette of the 18th of June pub lished a letter under the signature of ' The Chevalier de Negrilli, Engineer,' on the subject of a speech delivered by me on the Ist of June last, in my place in the Commons' House ,of Parliament, in the course of a debate on the Suez Canal. "Fora long time I have considered it most dignified and becoming to pass without notice the various statements, anonymous or otherwise, which have been published on this subject; but the letter tf M. de Negrelli, with whom I was associated in the first investigation of the practicability of piercing the isthmus, and who, questioning my statements in Parliament, has now for the first time declared himself at issue with me both as to my facts and conclusions, renders it imperative that I should declare in a formal manner what are the facts of this case, and by what circumstances my opinions , are supp or t e d . 'ln the year 1846 e I was solicited by my friend M. Tale bot, one of the most eneinent engineers of France, to heves ticate with -him the pracTicabtiity of piercing the Isthmus of Suez for a ship canal. The project had been suggested to M. Talabot by Linant Bey, a French eneineer, who had been for many years resident in Egypt. The statements submitted by Linant Bey were so remarkable that they engaged my co-operation In the interests of science, and, M. de Negrelli having been secures by M. Talabot as a cowl jutor, we entered into a formal agreement to share the labours and the cost of a preliminary investigation. ".The construction of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez involved two classes of engineering works :-1, The construction and proper maintenance of the canal itself; 2, the formation and proper maintenance of sea ports and deep entrances to the canal both on the Red Sea and in the Mediterranean. It has been generally believed that the ancient canal, of which vestiges may still be seen near Suez, WAS filled neither by the waters of the Red Sea, nor of the Mediterranean, but by the waters of -the Nile, obtained at Cairo; and history had declared that Alexander the Great, in founding the port of Alexandria on the west side of the Delta of the Nile, had been influenced by considera tion of the fact, that along the coast of the Levant there is an almost invariable current from west to east, carrying the debris poured from the mouths *f the Nile into the Bay of Pelus:um and thereby rendering the maintenance o f a d eep harbour in that bay as difficult as at the mouths of the Danube and the Rhone. Bet, on the other hand, Linant Bey submitted to us that the French engineers under M. M. Legere, who had accompanied the expedition to Egypt in 1799, had satisfactorily:established that there was a differ ence between the levels of he Red Sea and the Mediter ranean of no less than 9.00 metres. Under such circum stances it was apparent that nothing would be easier than to open a channel and establish a sufficient current from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, with a velocity which it was assumed, would keep the canal open by its scour, and maintain a clear channel, not only in the canal itself, but in the harboer in the Mediterranean. "Undoubtedly, it was under the impression of the exist ence of this difference of level that M. Talabot and myself entered on the inquiry; and, as M. de Negrelli would not have been engaged in it save at M. Talabot's instance, it is tolerably evident that the same primary consideration must have influenced him. Th'itt such was the case is addition ally a; parent from the fact that our first joint act was to take measures to confirm the difference of level reported on M. Lepere's authority. Under the direction of M. Talabot a corps of scientific engineers was sent. to Egypt to take the levels, upon which they were occupied from about Septem ber, 1840, until January, 1847, when M. Bourdaloue, the chief of the expedition, reported to M. TalttOot that it had been ascertained beyond the possibility of doubt, uncertainty, or question, that M. Lepere had been mistaken; that no difference of level whatever existed between the two seas; and that, consequently, a canal capable of being scoured by the waters either of the Red Sea or the Mediterranean was impracticable, especially as Loth those seas may be said to be nearly tideless. ' " Upon the acccunts and levels submitted to him M. Tala bot made a report, which, whether considered in an histori cal, scientific, or engineering point o f v i ew , i s at once the most comprehensive and logical document that has eren appeared upon the subject. After reporting an the non existence of a difference between the levels of the seas and on the effects of the current along the shores of the coast, he concluded that the maintenance of ot channel, and of an entrance in the Bay tei Pelusium, to the east of the Delta, was e tined ift eulte insurniontable :' and from this he went on to show that, evens supposing an entrance could be established to a canal in the bay, the prevalence of north winds during nine months of the year on that pat of the coast would prevent ships from attempting with safety ofe r .being heieestabl ished difficulty o t o o n f s e a a x ve e l c e t e: t - h i s e n l n g o r e either to make it, or to leave it, unless a harbour of refuge from a d t n, he af c te o r nse a q u u u e d n i c n e g s such works, he says— ' I tun persuaded th a t to construct in the Bay of Tinele a safe roadstead, and a conveniently situated channel, as much would have to be expended as for making the whole of a canal by the way of Alexandria, and that only to obtain a pass of uncertain success, or, rather, one that is certainly impracticable. And M. Talabot concluded that the result was ' to exclude every project which shall end in the Bay of Tineh' (Pelusium). " Concurring most entirely in these conclusions, and re garding the project as wholly at an end, in consequence of the premises on which it was based having been found to be entirely erronecus, I paid from my own personal means the share of the expenses attending the inquiry, for which I had undertaken to be responsible (one-third of about £4,500), and all correspondence on the subject ceased. Several years afterwards—in August, 1833, during the Exposition—l had the pleasure of meeting both M. Talabot and M. de Negrelli in Paris, but so utterly was the Sue z C ana l project doffed and abandoned that, as M. de Negrelli tells you in his letter, 'no word passed between us on the subject.' " You will here permit me to mention a personal matter, which M. de Negrelli has elevated into importance. In the autumn of ,1850, fatigued by the labours of an arduous year, I sought health and recreation in a yacht voyage to the Mediterranean. Arrived at Alexandria, I determined to made a persoital investigati in of the district in which four years previously I had been so deeply interested. Pro ceeding from Cairo by the usual route to Suez, accompanied for some distance by Captain Lindquist, then the agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, I turned thence northwards into the Desert, e felted the site of the Bitter Lakes now dry and desolate), encamp e d f or two days at Lake Timsah, and thence proceeded over th e hi g h • greund towards Lake Balla!), travelling on foot—a a , indeed , it is difficult to traverse otherwise a large portion of the Deserts. From that ridge of comparatively elevated ground 1 was enabled to overlook the district towards Lake Menza leh, which, during the period of high Nile, becomes a shal low lagoon, stretching along the coast and far into the Desert. Then, returning westward, I entered the Ouadee Toumitat, at Sababler, and, following the course of the ancient canal, I travelled in the direction of Bulbies and of the ruins o f the ancient Bubastis, visiting the higher grounds to th e north and thence returning to Cairo. Altogether I spent 15 or 16 days in the district, and all that I saw and ascertained on this expedition confirmed my convictions as to the Suez Canal project, and the finality of M. Talabot's report. On my retuen to England I gave, on the 20th of May, 18,51, an account of this expedition, in the course of a discussion on a paper read at the Institution,of Civil Engineers, stating emphatically the opinion at which I had arrived, that it was evitkut that It would not In puicticahic to keep opcu g level Icut or canal without any current between the two seas, and that the project was abandoned. "A rep In of my speech on that occasion will be found in the publiehed Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,' vol. x., P p, 10-13, a book which M. Negrelli may find in the public libraries of Vienna. The circumstances cf my expedition, though made without any ostentation, ar e we ll known; both in England and in Ee'YPts I am astonishes!, therefore, at what I must Cali the audacious assurance with which M. de Negrelli in sinuates in his letter—first, that I have never been in the locality at all ; then, that if I have I 'can cnly have seen that part of the scheme which is near to Suez.' Our hon ourable friend,' he' writes, Pretends to have travelled on foot the whole isthmus between the two seas; but in Egypt, where the preparations fora journey in the Desert always attract attention, no one has ever heard of this journey of Mr. Stephensort.'-Imust s be permitted to tell M. de Negrelli that the sense uf. honour which prevails in Englannd forbide o ur presuming to doubt the word of a gen tlema without havingcion at least some f ou nd a ti on f or suspi s And that when, without foundation, he insinuates that I could be base enough, before tho institution of which I. have been:president, and, seven years after, before the Com e mons of England, of which I am a member, to make state ments .as deliberately false as ridiculously objectless, he is attributing to me a course of -comluet utterly unknown to his honourable friend.' "It curiously enough happens that my journey over this district in 1850 was not my (nib* expedition to it. In the year 1851 -my yacht was burnt at Cowes, having. on board all the specimens had collected at the Bitter Lakes, Lake Timeab, and the elevated ridge to the north, In the winter of 1854, being at Caire - , I telt a desire to re place these'specitneas, and I started for the district under the escort of a cavass of his Highness the Pasha of Egypt, and accompanied as far as the Bitter Lakes by Mr. Ayrton, an- Ettglish gentleman resident at Cairo. On this occasion I pursued the same mute with little variation; renewing my ecquaintance esthe phical features of the country, Anil still further confirming m ys y - views as to th e soun d ness of M. Talabot's report. _Everything that M. Talabot gave the key to I saw for myself, and, .jedging for myself, with his report and maps in hand, I felt confirmed in the cor rectness of his views respecting a direct canal across the Isthmus of Suez. "It was, I believe, in the year following this expedition that certain gentlemen waited on me in London, and pro posed to re-open the scheme for a canal across the Isthmus of Suez. They had no new facts to offer to my considera tion,, and in all that they stated I found nothing that engaged any share of my confidence, or that in any way changed my viewas to M. Talabot's report and the character of the project. In dealing with the multitude of schemes from time to time submitted to me, I have uniformly de clined to allow my name to be associated with any plan in volving the subscriptions of my fellow countrymen for which I did not see good prospect of success. Acting on this prin ciple, and feeling that the Suez Canal project on such foun dations was not a sound undertaking, I declined to be in any way connected with the scheme. I communicated this resolution to the promoters civilly and courteously. I know not why my persistence in it has given them so much of fence. For some years past, however, I have been pursued by these parties, in their hired organs, with weekly attacks on both my personal and professional character. As I have said before, I bare thought it most dignified to leave such itteen s nonoti ee a, knewiag nlienee they prcceeded; indeed, they appeared beneath notice. Under - uo circutestarces trill they ever engage my attention, and it is only when I find a former colleague leagued with my assailants that it appears to me t o b e necessary to correct his misstatements. de Negrelli tells you in his letter, For my part, I considered the results of the surveys (of M. Talabot) favourable to the direct union of the two seas; the fact of their being on the same level rendering the construc tion of locks unnecessary.' However,' he says, I reserved my opinion until my ideas should be confirmed, which did not occur until after the mon th o f December, 1855,' when M. de Negrelli now declares that he pronounced himself in favour of the direct union of the two sees by a free canal.' M. de Negrelli has a perfect right to his own opinion; I only regret that he does not concede to nie my right to mine. But, apart from matters of opinion, I cannot but observe that the elaborate attempt of M. de Negrelli to fix the periods during which he 'reserved' and at which he pronounced' his opinion appears remarkable. From the termination of M. Talabot's experiments in January, 1847, to after the mouth of December , 1855 (i.e., January, 1856), nine long years, M. d e Negreill reserved his opinion.' Through all these years, and even down to the date cf his letter to you, he permitted his former col leagues and the world at large to believe that he concurred in M. Talabot's report, and that, together with M. Talabot -and myself, he had abandoned the project altogether. Even when we all met in Paris in August, 1855, on the very eve of his pronunciamento, he did not communicate either to M. Talabot or to myself the doubts he entertained or the opinions he reserved.' It was only after the month of December, 1855,' that '11!s ideas were confirmed.' It was only 'after the month of December, 1855,' I believe that the company to which M. tie Negrelli has now openly lent the influence of his name and the weight of his authority as sumed a commercial shape. " But M. de Negrelli, I have said, has a right to his opinions. I only wish he would allow me the same right to mine. "' I do not share,' he says, ' the opinion of my hon. friend in England, that the canal without a current must become a ditch where the ;water will be perpetually stag nant.' S Thu canal can owljt , be considered as the continua tion of the two Fees, whose waters meet in the basins. If my hoz. friend will look from the windows of the building in which be has developed such singular hydraulic knowledge, he will see that the reflux of the Thames as far as Windsor is caused by the rising of the tide and the agi- tation commnuicated to the river. Notwithstanding that Windsor is many leagues from the sea, the influence of the tide of the interior waters is regularly felt. In the same manner the Mediterranean and the Red Sea will agitate the Suez Canal. The waters will rise and fall; in one word, they will take part in all the movements of the sea.' "If' my bon. Mend' will stand on the walls of the city from which he has developed such singular hydraulic know ledge,' he will see in the tideless stream below him nothing of the character he describes as occurring in the Thames, which will probably account for his statements, which are, indeed, as wide of the mark as possible; because to suppose for a moment that there is any analogy between the Suez Canal, 300 feet nide at its mouth, in an almost tideless sea , and a river lik e th e Th ames, no l ess than six miles broad at the Nore, with a rise of tidal water of from 16 to 20 feet, is really, to use a favourite phrase,of M. de Negrelli, merely to 'pretend' to a knowledge of hydraulics. "And if my hon. friend' is wrong in ;his analogy, he is equally unfortunate in his special illustration. If, without a shadow of foundation, M. de Negrelli questions my ever having been at Suez, it is not without foundation that I shall question his ever having been at Windsor. Or if ever, as his language appears to suggest, he has travelled up the river Thames past the windows of the building in which I developed such singular hydraulic knowledge,' to visit the Royal castle at Windeer, from whence he saw the reflux of the Thames. the rise of the tide, tied the a,gitation commu nicated by the ri ver, ' he must forgive me for suggesting that the vision must have been under circumstances most dazzling to his clear perception ; for, while it is quite true, as M. de Negrelli says, that Windsor is many leagues from the sea,' it is equally certain that the influence of the tide there is' not 'regularly felt,' inasmuch as it is arrested by Teddiroston lock. Moreover I must inform M. de Negreili that Windsor is 26 miles above the reach of the Thames, and that at no period of tlie history of the river, even before the construction of the locks, was the tide known to reach i o den u esi n aleei c i:.l e os ; .athllvfal friend graver within 22 miles of that town. In the same manner, there fore, as the tide agitates the waters at Windsor, M. de Ne grelliwill agitate the Suez Canal.' On this point Ido share the t(n t c: h i 0, tjuee question ti? Mediterraneans sharett t ir6)iaka ht9.Austria.' phoep artn andiori waters ss. cf:l. he Red Sea uo will rile r tf t o n . ot f: hn i ot st the uiep p ocsa move mentsnnagl that there was au action of the water the extent of two feet in the Mediterranean, and r f six feet in the Red Sea, which i s supposing ay extreme case, what effect would such action have on a canal nearly 80 miles in length, with the inter vention of the extensive basin of the Bitter Lakes ? The matter is easily to be settled by calculation ; and I leave it to my hon. and ingenious friend to amuse himself with in his leisure hours. " I believe that I have new replied to everything requir ing an answer in M. de Negrelli's letter. I regret that, after leaving MoTalabot and myself to imagine, fur S 3 long a period, that be concurred in the conclusion at which we ar rived, after the investigation of 1847, he should now have • pronounced ' a contrary vies-. It is some satisfaction to me, however, " to reflect that in the interval our opinions have been confirmed by the investigations of highly scientific and experienced individuals. Among other important in quiries on the suljset, I would refer to a document issued by the Hydrogrophic-office of the Admiralty, under the autho rity of Capt. Spratt, R.N., a Comp anion of the Order of the Bath and a Fellow ef the Royal Society, who in 1857 made made an inquiry into the soundness of M. de Lessep's rea sonings and arguments on the practicability of the Suez Canal.' "This eminently scientific officer has arrived at the con clusion, after 20 years' hydrogrephic experience of the Medi terranean, and after the late einberate surveys and charts of the Admiralty, showing the wave motion and the currents,. that the establishment of a canal ''dependent upon or secon dary to the practicability of making and maintaining a deep entrance to it from the tideless Mediterranean, is not feasible. 'lt is necessary asd just,' h e concludes, to the commercial interest desiring to embark in the project of M. Lessepe to know these important facts ere they risk their millions in the undertaking, instead of discovering them only when swamped in the sands they will have to contend with, and then to discover also, when too late to amend it, that Alexander the Great was wiser than,M. Lesseps admits when he listened to the local opinion regarding the influence of the Nile upon the harbour if formed to the eastward of it.' "The opinions expressed by Captain Spratt serve, to some extent, to counterbalance and to conssle me under the defection of M. de Negrelli. I only regret that toy former colleague should not have been permitted to join his Hew friends without cantribnting to an attack upon myself. I must frankly say, that such an attack from his pen appears to me to be especially ungenerous, unfair, and unprovoked. What word of unkindness has passed my lips with respect to M. de Negrilli? When did I attribute to him false pre tences and absurd scientific ignorance? So little cause, in deed, had M. de Negrilli for assailing me, that I entertain a belief, almost amounting to conviction, that he never can himself have penned the scurrilous letter of which I com plain, but that it was the work t f some others, who obtained to it his signature, given without due consideration. "In conclusion, Sir, I will only say that I have—indeed, I can have—no hostility to a maritime canal through the Isthmus of Stiez. If I could regard such a can a l as com mercially advantageous, I have already shown that I should be the first to give the advantage of my time, my money, and my experience. It was because after elaborate investi ga'ion, and in cohjunction with such men as M. Talabot, I arrived at a clear conclusion that the project was not one which deserved serious attention, that I refused to give it support. I should be delighted to FCC a channel like the Dar denelles on the Bosphorus penetrating the isthmus that divides the lied Sea from the Meditteranean ; but I know that such a chan ne l i s impracticable, —that nothing can be effected, even by the most unlimited expenditure of time and life and money, beyond the formation of a stagnant ditch be tween two almost tideless seas, unapproachable by large ships under any circumstances, and only capable of being used by small vessels when the prevalent winds permit their exit and their entrance. I believe that the project Will prove abortive in itself and ruinous to its constructors; and enter taining that view, I will no longer permit it to be said that by nbatnining roma pproming [anvil fills on thy subject The following letter furnishes some details of the negotia tions which have been carried on during the past two years by the Indian Junction Telegraph Company, und e r encou ragement from th e British Government, far the construc tion of a line via the Tigris and the Persian Gulf, and which have been allowed to result in disappointment and loss. It appears an expectation is now entertained that the company - will be empowered by the present Cabinet to lay the cable from Kurrachee to Bussorah, while the Turks are making the- land and-river line from Constantinopletoßussoralt, and that means may'eteillet be adopted to hasten the latter portion of the wark by British co-operation European-and Indian Junction Telegraph Company, • London August 3, 1858. "Sir,—As your remarks in the City Article of yesterday might give the inipression that it was propcsed•to abandon - the route by Asiatic Turkey and the Persian Gulffor placing; India and Englaltd in telegraphic communication, I beg that you will do me the favour of giving insertion to the accorn panyino letter; which I addressed "to the present Govern., ment,laving, at the same time, good reason to believe that it would he well received. To this letter I have received no ansvier, the proposal contsined•in it being still, I believe, under consideration and reference: The Treasury minute on my letter, and the answer of. the India .Board thereto (dectking on behalf of the East India Company to lay the eakio, will show the extent of the official action on this most imp:lila - lit 'natter, as puttlislied in a recent blue-book. "I quite agree with yon that my shareholders have been apparently egregiously trifled with by Government, but that ceases to be surprising when the magnitude of the public interests at stake failed to induce the prompt and energetic prosecution of a work casting a trifle not worth weighing in the balance for a moment against what one single vibration of its silent tongue' might have saved during the stirring events of the past year. "I am bound, however, to state that I received in my lengthened negotiations with the late Government cordial co-operation from the Treasury (vide minute No. 113, an nexed), and that I experienced on all occasions the greatest. personal courtesy from Lord Clarendon. " Lord Stratford de Redcliffe wrote to me to say that be was prepared to lend our agent at Constantinople the weight of the embassy in his negotiations with the Porte, which he nobly exerted, and yet an influence adverse to the interests of this country was suffered to prevail ; but I am not with out'hopes that an arrangement may still be effected with the Turkish Government satisfactory to all parties, and I may add that the character of the present President of the India Board leads me to hope for an early decision on the Persian Gulf portion of the route. "I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " W. P. AND REW." " European and Indian Junction Telegraph Company, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, London, April 19. si r —F,6ji wz ncsitred that her Majesty's G overnment participates in the anxiety felt by VIP imblo to have India and England placed in telegraphic a LU:blitae. tioll 4t earliest possible period, I have the honour to request that you will be good enough to bring to the notice of the Earl of Malmesbury the following particulars, with the docu ments noted in the margin relative thereto. " 2. As chairman of the only company incorporated by Act of Parliament with a subscribed capital f or connecting . England and India by a line of telegraph through Asiatic Turkey, I have to state that as the Turkish Government have determined to construct a line of telegraph from Constanti nople to Bussorab, at the head of the Persian Gulf, and have already, as I am informed, despatched the whole of the ne cessary materials to Asiatic Turkey, the company I represent would be prepared, on certain terms and conditions, to com plete the telegraphic system to India within one year from the execution of a contract with Government, by con structing and laying down a submarine cable between Bus sorah and Kurrachee, the port of the Indus which either is at this moment or is about to be in telegraphic communica tion with all parts of India. " 3. With reference to the lengthened correspondence I have had with the late Government on the subject of tele graphic communication with India, I may briefly state, for the Information of Lord Malniesbury, that the project of this company for connecting the telegraphs of Europe with those of India, by carrying a wire from the' shores of the Mediterranean to the bead of the Persian Gulf, was ap proved by the late Government and by his Excellency Viscount Stratford de Redeliffe, and was examined by a committee of the House of Commons, of which Lord Stanley was chairman, and a report of the evidence then taken is ap pended. A preliminary agreement having been entered into between the Government and the company on the '22d of January, 1837, a copy of which is annexed, a large expendi ture was incurred by despatching officers and telegraphic stores to the Turkish territory, and the line might now have been in working order bad not some extraordinary and un expected influence prevented the formal granting of a con cession which had been promised to the company by the late Grand Vizier Redschid Pasha, and had been unanimously recommended to the Turkish Government ly the Council of Tanzimat. " 4. It will be observed that the effect of the prelimi nary agreement entered into in January, 1857, was that the Government was only to pay far work performed, while the entire risk was thrown on those who found the capital and skill to execute the work. I think it right at once to bring this prominently ferward, as In the event of the propos:3l I have submitted being entertained, it appears but reasonable to expect:that Government should accept some portion of the risk (which the highest scientific authorities assure me is little more than nominal) with those who will place in their hands a political instrument of inestimable value. In other respects the previous agreement above referred to might be accepted as a basis for the execution of the con tract. " ' 5. According to the rough estimate of those eminent and successful telegraph cable contractors, Messrs. It. Newall and Co., in their letter to me, dated 16th inst., a copy of which is annexed, the entire cost would amount to 400,0001. This sum may appear large, but the details I have reason to believe will be nea r ly as follows : Cable, 1,500 miles at 1381. per mile Four steamers and coals for nine months 12.5,000 Insurance - 20,000 Contractor's profit and risk laying dow n 48,000 £400,00 " The item of 125,000/. might b e cave d by Government providing suitable vessels and coals. " G. In conclusion I have testate the desire of the direc tors that, in the event of an arrangement being entered into between the Government and the company, the management should be aided and controlled by the presence of an cx officio director at the board, and that the cable should he both constructed and laid down under the supervision of any officer her Majesty's Government might be pleased to appoint. _ _ , " I have the honour to he, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, "' W.

" Write to Mr. Hammond, with copies of this correspon dence, fur the information of Lord Clarendon, and state that it is the opinion of this board that, whether the propseed line of telegraph may ultimately succeed or not, it would be most unsatisfactory if an object in which the British Govern ment has exhibited so strong an interest should be allowed to fall to the ground by the refusal of a Council of Ministers of the Porte to confirm the decision of the Tanzimat, and that through the exertions of a party supposed to be inimi cal to British interes s and to be in favour of the commercial rivalry of the French. State that my lords feel, after the encouragement they have given to the company seeking this concession, that every means which Lord Clarendon thinks right to use should be put in motion to induce the Ministers of the Porte to adept the usual course in this case of con firming the decision of the Tanzimat. " 'tad= Mr. Andrew that toy lords have communicated their views to Lord Clarendon upon this subject.' " DESTRUCTION OF THE BOURSE AT ANTWERP BY FIRE. The Independence Beige of Tuesday evening contains the following letter from Antwerp, dated Manday morning, 2.30 a.m.:— " At the moment I write an immense disaster is occurr irg in our city. The Bourse of Antwerp, that place to which so many glorious souvenirs are attached, and which by its late improvement, its fairy-like covering, bad become the admiration of all foreigners, is nothing more than a beep of rubbish and smouldering ashes. The glass roof fell with a frightful crash, and the enormous pieces of the metal frame work broke like glass on falling to the ground. Every part of the building, in fact, is destroyed, and it was with great difficulty that the neighbouring houses could be preserved. The civil and military authorities, the troops, the firemen, every one indeed did their duty, but nothing could be done as to the Bourse, which will be burnt to the lest fragment of wood. " The fire appears to have arisen in an upper room, on the side of the Court Rue des Claires. It was there, at least, that the flames were first seen, and in half an hour the place was enveloped in fire. The Bouree contained the chamber of commerce, the tribunal, and the record office, the syndi cal chamber of the stockbrokers; the syndical chamber of the Antwerp brokers; and the telegraph bureaux. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is saved. All the archives of these vari ous bodies are lost. * * ■ I hare just returned from the scene of the disaster, and in spite of the united efforts of a crowd of workmen and the engines the fire continues. The ceilings which surmounted the arches of the interior gal leries have just caught fire, and part of the turret on the side of the Place de bier has fallen.", The Right lion.

Archduchess Clipplegate 2 Cupid In selecting the Red Sea line, we believe that many important advantages are secured which in the rival project are totally wanting. The Euphrates line, until completed to Kurrachee, would have been comparatively useless ; for we doubt if the half savage people through whose district it would run would have made much use of it at the intermediate points between Aleppo and its eastern terminus, ex cept in the mode pointed out by our Damascene ; at any rate no use could be made of it until the railway was completed and opened for traffic, which we ap prehend will take place about the next Greek Ka lends. Nor do we see in what way the safety of the wires and of the staff employed on the line was to be provided for. The Sultan would doubtless dO his ,best to protect them, but the value of that protection can be easily measures. In the spring of the present year the caravan with the gifts sent by the Sultan to the shrine of the Prophet at Mecca was plundered by the Arab; on the road to Damascus, and the Sul tan had nothing bet'er to do than to send fresh pre sents by another route, and compensate the pilgrims who had been pi aged. By the Bed Sea route, at any rate, the ca. l.: is unler cur own surveillance, and if the Sultan be unable to protect it we can pro tect it ourselves. The Arabs may perhaps attempt to injure it at some of the stations, but they arc not likely to fish it up from the deep; and the damage is consequently easy to repair, far it lies on the great high road of the Indian traffic. The distances be tween the various stations are also convenient, ren dering the laying and repairing or replacing the cable a work of little difficulty, besides supplying at once, as the works proceed, a means of rendering it of practical utility before the whole line is laid down. The stations and their distances from each other are as follows : From Suez to Cosselr., . „ CoAseir to Jeddah 4OO „ „ Jeddah. ....to Camaran 430 ~ „ Camaran....to Aden 2BO „ completing the first section of the line. It is pro posed to continue it hereafter From Aden to Ras Shcznan 325 miles. „ Ras Sharman to the Kouria Mouris Idands 42 ( „ „ Kouria :Muria to Ras-el-Had „ Ras-el-Had to liarrackee So that the first section comprises nearly half of the whole distance. As a profitable commercial specu lation, its success would have been too uncertain t attract capital ; but as a Government Guaranteed Four-and-a-half per Cent. Stock it is certain to be high in popular favour; and when the Suez Canal is carried out, we cannot doubt that it, will rapidly pr!ve remunerative. That this project will also be put in execution is a matter on which we fully cal culate. The Derby Government, it is true—probably for the sake of maintaining the traditional character of the party it represents for clinging to obsolete ideas and for being in arrcar of tha age—has,almerston quietly adopted the pl a tit u d es u ttered by Lord Palmerston on this question. But we cannot suppose t h at so blenda policy can be lo.ig persisted in, an d t h at, for the sake amusing an old woman's dream of exclu sion, the Government can be allowed not only to shut out all Europe from the most convenient read l s ea probability t possible depend. a n t t i , y t h i e l l recent to the Indian Sea, but also t o d enr i ve ohrselves of the means of speedy comm un i cat i on with India, on which the maintenan ce o f our power in that county ' o tt is t i i'loietinb r i i r ti eneeilaiku 1 required odfd its ah lowest folly naturally o f presents itself;the traffic ffinc theie latest news from Alexandria describes Cairo as being in the greatest excitement, in consequence. of rumours that a fleet of boats, manned by Arab finatics, was advancing on Suez, and that tbep were to be joined by others on land in making an attack on the Chris tians. Could such a rumour have even existence were the lathmus of Suez and the Red Sea the high road of the commerce of the East ? and would not the coast of Arabia become as safe for commercial pur poses ate, that of 'Syria ? It is to be hoped that the completion of the telegraphic line to Aden may do something towards rendering commerce snore active.

The Govern ment seemed bewildered, and between the two stools there was evident danger that the Indian Telegraph would fiill to the ground. For Ourselves, we looked upon the Euphrates line as practically impossible — in the present state of affairs at any rate ; and were convinced that it we's-hi:ply improbable, even were it laid down, thet cofinnumeations could be main tained by it, with -any degree of certainty. We were inclined.to the opinion of a shrewd Damascene, who : I : vi tlli oe v ; o tt u eh l de d rseefao soon rel; nle b v ee asl cheap a h lr e yn a o p eudl was asked what would be the eff.ct of the establish ment of the line. When the machinery or tele graphic communication was explained to him, he re plied : " Mashallah 1- it is very wonderful. But iron i d n that e t n h s e a u vicinitytrel posts and wires, and the camels would bring fewer French nails from Seanderoon." _ With great satis ernuur-r Govern ment had decided on giving such practical support the necessary capital fbr carrying it into execution. By the contract with the Company the State gua rantees to theahareholders four -and-a-half per cent. on so much of the _capital of £BOO,OOO as may be called up ;:or, in the event of the Company being unable to complete or maintain the line, under takes to take it off their hands, reimbursing them the sum expended, with four-and-Oralf per cent. interest. Iliese terms ,are in,, , soure. quarters considered tbo favourable; some people main tain that a smaller guarantee would-. have suf ficed: but looking at the enormous importance of the undertaking to the nation at large, we are m t disposed to cavil about £4,000 per annum, more ( r less, being hazarded for its achievement. The line to Alexandria will be completed during the present autumn, and the Red Sea and Iralia T. le graph Company propose to continue this line through the Straits of Bab-el-Mandel to Kurradiee, making, however, for the present, the first section only as far as Aden. It will be remembered that one of the great objections urged against this route was the im possibility of l a yi ng a cable in the :Red Sea, or of keeping it in a serviceable condition... It was, there fore, with great astonishment that we - read the re port of_Captain Pullen, of -the Cyclops, that, in his opinion, "no place can be better adapted for laying . a telegraphic cable than the Red Sea." If experience prove this opinion to be well founded, we hardly know in what terms to describe those who, in main- , taining that the cable would be cut to pieces, either perverted the facts from interested- motives, or in dulged in the wretched vanity of maintaining an opinion without accurate data whereon to base it. We cannot forget that it is the discussion of such :points as these that has left us, in one of the most critical periods of our history, without the means of availing ourselves of the aid of scienca to procure more rapid information as to what was going on in India, at a 'Lillie when its attainment was of vital im portance, and might save or lose thousands of valu able lives. It is another feather in the cap of Lord Derby that he has come to a decision on a subject which seemed to have paralysed the faculties of his predecessors in office, and that at lngifi we are in a fair way of seeing a great national want sup plied.
