Joan of Arc did not get off. The necessity of at once establishing aTelleg afic s communication with India was so strongly felt by t the public, and the claims of the rival lines were so actively urged by their several partisans, that it was seriously proposed in some quarters to cut what seemed to he a Gordian knot by making both lines —that by the Euphrates Valley to Kurrachee, and that by the Red Sea to the same point. The Govern ment seemed bewildered, and between the two stools_ there was evident danger that the Indian Telegraph . would fall 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 i c t o n l a s i r d i n d e e o d w that i a t t w e et o s m h m i tained by it with any degree of certainty. We were g u h n l i y ca inclined to the opinion of a shrewd Damascene, who i t m io p u r s ob e a o b u l l e d , e b v e en in w a e in re . was asked what would be the effect of the establish ment of the line. When the machinery or tele graphic communication was explained-to him, here plied : " Mashallah ! it is very wonderful. But iron wire would soon be cheap in the vicinity of your posts and wires, and the camels would bring fewer French nails fr om S can d eroon. " W ith great satis faction, therefore, we learned that at length Govern ment had decided on giving such practical support to the Red Sea line a s wou ld ensure the ra i s i ng of the necessary capital for carry i ng it into execution. By the contract with the Company the State gua rantees to the shareholders 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-a-half per cent. interest. These terms are in some quarters considered too 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 cr less, being hazarded for its achievement. The line to Alexandria will be completed during the present autumn, and the Red Sea and India 'Die.. graph Company propose to continue this line through the Straits of Bab-el-Mandel to Kurrachee, 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 laying 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 time when its attainment was of vital im portance, and might save or lose thousands of value, able lives. It is another feather in the cap of Lord/ Derby that he has come to a decision en a subject' f which seemed to have p a ralysed the faculties ' his predecessors in office, and that at length we r? e in a fair way of seeing a great national want Sl4fp. plied. In selecting the Red Sea line, we believe tieat many important advantages are secured which': . : in the rival project are totally wanting. The Euphresees line, until completed to Kurrachee, would have b en comparatively useless; for we doubt if the h tlf savage people through whose district it would 1). un would have made much use of it at the intermedi ate points between Aleppo and its eastern terminus, .ex cept in the mode pointed out by our Damascene e f at any rate n:s use could be nsade of it until the rails? ay was completed and opened for traffic, which welap prehend will take place about the next Greek Tin lends. Nor do we see in what way the safety of , the wires and of the staff employed on the line was t be provided for. The Sultan would doubtless 0.0 his best to protect them, but the value of that prott action can be easily measured. In the spring of the resent year the caravan with the gifts sent by the St itan to the shrine of the - Prophet at Mecca was pl aldered by the Arabs on the mai to Damascus, and the Sul tan had nothing bet' er to do than to send flesh pre sents by another route, and compensate the }pilgrims who had been plaged. By the Red Sea, route, at any rate, the cat le is under our own susi - veillauce, and if the Sultan be unable to protect it b e can pro tect it ourselves. The Arabs may perhOs attempt to injure it at some of the stations, but. they are not likely to fish it up from the deep; anl the damage is consequently easy to repair, fir it les on the great high road of the Indian traffic. Tree distances be tween the various stations are a 14.12? 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 Cosskir.. „ Co3seir to Jeddah 4OO „ „ Jeddah. ....to Carnaran 430 „ „ Camaran ....to Aden 2BO „ completing the first section of the line. It is pro posed to continue it hereafter tbi i thatnrtoest. a e advancing t hefleet s o n o f boats, n m From Aden to Ras Sharman 325 miles. „ Ras Sharman to the Konria Monria Islands 42 ( „ „ Kouria :Muria to Ras-el-Had „ Ras-el-Had to Kurrachee 'So that the fi rst 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 preve 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 arrear of the age—has quietly adopted the platitudes uttered by Lord Palmerston on this question. But we cannot suppose that so blind a policy can be long persisted in, and that , for the sake ufnursing an old woman's dream of exclu sion, the Government can be allowed not only to shut out all Europe from the most conve ni e nt r oad to the Indian Sea, but also to denrive o h rselves of the means of speedy communication with India , on which the maintenance of our powe r in that country in all probability depend. Were any illustra tion required of the folly of reducing the traffic on. greatest on Suez, excitement, ez ,an d that i n consequencethe p were ere to o f be rumours m joined a s i o n u e r the Red Sea to its lowest possible amount, the recent landi manned a k ing a by n on t hefanatics, Chris tians. h was i s af . ou tbreak at Jeddah naturally presents itself; and the l a test news from Alexandria describes Cairo as being n yae h h Could such a rum ou r h ave e v en existence w 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 as that of Syria ?

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and work leg the valuable freehold mineral property known as the North Rhine Mine, situated in the hundred of that name, near Adelaide, South Australia. The property comprises 366 acres, and contains one of the richest deposits of copper ore yet discovered in this well-known mineral district. Upwards of 100 tons of copper ore have been raised from this mine, and the yield of the malachite and blue carbonate has shown upwards of 70 per cent, oxide of copper, giving an average to the ore of 32 to 31 per cent. fine copper. Prospectuses, with map, may be obtained on application at the offices, or from the Brokers. cut or canal without any current between the two seas, and that the project was abandoned. " A report of my speech on that occasion will be found in the published' Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,' vol. x., ep. 10-13, a honk which M. Negrelli may find in the Public libraries of Vienna. The circumstances of my expedition, though made without any ostentation, are well known, both in England and in Eupt. I am astonished, therefore, at what I must call 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 only 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 for a journey in the Desert always attract attention, no one has ever heard of this journey of Mr. Stephenson.' I must be permitted to tell M. de Negrelli that the sense of honour which prevails in England forbids our presuming to doubt the word of a gen tleman without having at least some foundation- for suspi cion, cud that when, without foundation, he insinuates that I could be base enough, before the institution. of which I have been:presidenr, and, seven years after, before the Com 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 conduct utterly unknown to his! honourable friend.' " It curiously enough happens that my journey over this district in 1850 was not my only expedition to it. 'fettle year 1851 my yacht was burnt at Cowea, having on board all the specimens I had collected at the Bitter Lakes, Lake Tintsah, and the elevated ridge to the north, In the winter of 1854, being at Cairo I telt a desire to re place these specimen., and I s t ar t e d 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 English gentleman resident at Cairo. On this occasion I pursued the same route with little variation; renewing my acquaintance with the physical features of the country, and still further confirming my views as to the soundness of M. Talabot's report. Everything that M. Tatabot gave the key to I saw for myself, and, judgfno. for myself, with his report and maps in band, I felt gonfirmed in the cor rectness of his views respecting a tifreo 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 :view as to M. Talabot's report and the character of the project. In dealing wits 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 ef 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 have thought it most dignified to leave such attacks unnoticed, knowing whence they proceeded; indeed, they appeared beneath notice. Under no circumstances will they ever engage my attetetion, and it is only when I find a fernier colleague leagued with my assailants that it appears to me to be necessary to correct hie misstatements. "M. de Negrelli tells you in his letter, For my part, I considered the results of the surveys (of M. Talab 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,' be says, I reserved my opinion until my ideas should be confirmed, which did not occur until ' after the month of December, 1855,' when M. de Negrelli now declares that he pronounced himself in favour of the direct union of the two seas by a free canal.' M. de Negrel:i has a perfect right to his own opinion; I only regret th at h e d oes net concede to tee my right to mine. But, apart from matters of opinion, cannot but obsetve that the elaborate attempt of M. de Negrelli to fix the periods during which he reserved' and at which be pronounced' his opinion appears remarkable. From the termination of M. Talabot's experiments in January, 1847, to after the mouth of DeceinlT, 1833 (i.c., January, 1856), nine long years, M. de Negrelli reserved Lis 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, toed her with AI. Talabot and myself, he had abandoned the project altogether. Even when we all met in Paris in August, 1855, on the very eve of hie pronunciamento, lie did net communicate either to M. Talabot or to myself the doubts he entertained or the opinions he 'reserved.' It was only after the enenth of December, 1855,' that ideas were emit - jellied.' It was only 'after the month of December, 1855,' I believe that the company to which M. de Negrelli has now openly lent the influence of his name and the weight of his authority as sumed a commercial shape. " Bat M. de Negrelli, I have said, has a right to his opinions. I only wish he would allow me the same right to mire. " 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.' The canal can only be considered as the continua tion of the two seas, avlo:e waters meet in the basins. If my hoe. friend will lock from the windows of the building in which he has developed suds singular hydraulic knowledge, be will see that the reflex of the Thames as far as Windsor is caused by the rising of the tide and the agi tation communicated 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 WI the .movetuents of the sea.' " If' toy lion. iend' will steed oo 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 es occurring in the Thames, which will probably account for his statements, which are, indeed, as wide of the mark as possible; because to euppsse for a moment that there is any analogy between the Suez Canal, 300 feet wide at its mouth, in an almost tideless sea, and a river like the Thames, no less than six miles broad at the Nore, with a rise of tidal water of from ]6 to 20 feet, is really, to use a favourite phrase,of de Neerelli, merely to 'pretend' to a knowledge of hydraulics. "And if my hon. friend' is wrong in this 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, lie has ti evened up the river Thames past the windows of the building in which I developed such singular hydraulic knowledge,' to vi-it the Royal castle at Windsor, from whence he saw the reflux of the Thames, the rise of the tide, and the agitation comtnu 'sleeted by the river,' 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 Teddington 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 the history of the river, even before the construction of the locks, was the tide known to reach within .22 miles of that town. In the same manner, there fore, as the tideagitates the waters at Windsor, M. de Ne grelli pronounces that the Mediterranean and the Red Sea will agitate the Suez Canal.' On this point Ido share the opinion of my lion. friend in Austria.' '‘ But on the graver question that the waters of the canal will rise and fall, that they will take part in all the move ments of the seas,' I do not share hi s opinions.' Supposing that there was an action of the water the extent of two feet in the Mediterranean, and cf six feet in the Red Sea, which is supposing . an 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 bon. and ingenious friend to amuse himself with in his leisure hours. " I believe that I have now replied to everything requir ing an answer in M. de Negrelli's letter. I regret that, after leaning M. Talabot and myself to imagine, for s 3 long a period, that he concurred in the conc lu s ion at which we ar rived, after the investigation of w tio h n av to e • pronounced ' a contrary view. 18 1t 47 me, however, to reflect that i n th e interval our opinions E h o e ro s e h o s u a l t d i s n fa o c have been confirmed by the investigations of highly scientific and experienced individuals. Among other important in quiries on the subject, I would refer to a docernent issued by the Itydrographic-office of the Admiralty, under the autho rity of Capt. Spratt, R.N., aCopanio o n f i o l f . t d h e e L Cl e r s el se e i r ), o s f re th a e_ Bath and a Fellow of the Royal Society, who in 1857 made made an inquiry into the soundness soninge and argUtnents on the practicability of the Suez Canal.' "This eminently scientific officer has arrived at the eon= elusion; after 2O tears' hydrographle experience of the Medi terranean, and tittei' the late O'aborate surveys and charts of the Admiralty, showing the wave motion tied the currents, that the establishment of a canal dependent upon or SetOn dory to the practicability of making and maintaining a deep entrance to it from the tideless Mediterranea n ,' is not feasible, It is riecessary aedjusts' he concludes, ' to the .commercial interest desirirg to embark In the project of M. Lesseps to know these iropertant facts ere they risk their millions in the undertaking, instead or discovering them only when swamped itt the sands they will have to contend with, and then to discover also, w hen too late t o amen d it , t h a t 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 console me under the defection of M. de Negrelli. I only regret that my former colleague should not have been permitted to join his new friends without contributing to an ettack;upon myself. must frankly gliy, 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 biro 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 seurrileus letter of which I com plain, but that it was the work of some others, who obtained to it his signature, given without due conefderatien. "In conclusion, Sir, I will only say that I have—indeed, I can have—no hortility to a maritime canal through the Isthmus of Suez. If I could regard such a canal 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 expsriencr. It was because after elaborate invcsli ga,ion, and in coejsacti,n 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 see a channel like the Dar denelles on the Bosphorus penetrating the isthmus that divides the Red Sea from the Meditteranetin ; but I know that such a channel is impracticable,—that nothing can be efncted, 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 constructers; and enter taining that view, I will no longer permit it to be said that by abstaining ftona exprosing myself fully on tits subject am tacitly allowing capitalists to throw away their money on what my knowledge assures me to be an unwise and wire rnunerati ve speculation.

The following letter furnishes some details cf file negotia tions which have been carried on during the vast two years by the Indian Junction Telegraph Company, under encou ragement from the British Government, ter 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 he empowered by the present Cabinet to lay the cable from Kur. achee to Bussorah, while the Turks are making the land and river line from Constantinople to Buisorah, and that means may even yet be adopted to hasten the latter portion of the work 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 impression that it was proposed to abandon the route by Asiatic Turkey and the Persian Gulf for placing India and England in telegraphic communication, I beg that you will do me the favour of giving insertion to the accom panying letter, which I addressed to the present Govern ment, having, at the same time, good reason to believe that it would be well received. To this letter I have received no answer, the proposal contained in it being still, I believe, under consideration and reference. The Treasury minute On my letter, and the answer of the India Board thereto (declining on behalf of the East India Company to lay the ea.klm, will show the extent of the official action on this most itnpottant matter, as published in a recent blue-book. I quite agree with you 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 costing 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 c'irdial 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 he 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. ANDREW." " European and Indian Junction Telegraph Company, Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, Londoat, April 19. " Sir, —Feeling assured that her Majesty's Government participates in the anxiety felt by the public to have India and England placed in telegraphic cemmuuication at the earliest passible period, I have the honour to request that you will be good enough to bring to the notice of the Earl of Malrnesbury the following particulars, with the docu ments noted in the niarain relative thereto. " 2. As chairman of the only company incorporated by Act of Parliament with a subscribed capital for 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 Biassorah, 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 cer air 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 Malmesbury, that tie pieject uf this company for connecting the tel , graphs of Europe with committeetVbwp tie i helei tuns Mediterranean e ic i o ee t h u de oe a rt . r t r t al Ami nn S meao de t f.arai preliminary Government oai f ap proved by the late Government and by his Excellency :l e t s cia t je l et ni f nn ‘ pc w: r . ea. company which e examinedent onLileoi takenit r t d iei eredi2s b id y na Stanleypt Excellency January, 1837, a copy of which is annexed, a large expendi ture was incurred by despatching officers and telegraphic btebn‘o,yredHdrtncaohadruernreesree:ntaoißetgnfraregtcdaedone,cifaodmitnietffewi nti , neeh i h r e e pfreormsi atllll e G s t l i lze w s a o s f stores to the Turkish territory, and the line might now have been in working order had not some extraordinary and un expected influence prevented the formal granting of a con c,-ssion which had been promised to the company by the late Grand Vizier Redschid Pasha, and had been unanimously recommended to the Turkish Government by the Council of Tanzinsat. " 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 for work performed, while the entire risk was thrown on those who found the capital and skill to execute the work. I think it rigist at once to bring this prominently forward, as in the event of the proposal 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 ref!rred 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. R. Newall and Ca., in their letter to me, dated 16th inst., a copy of which is annexed, the entire cost would amount to 400,000/. This sum may appear large, but the details I have reason to believe will be nea►ly as follows : Cable, 1,500 miles at 1381. per mile Four steamers and coals for nine months 125,000 Insurance Contractor's profit and risk laying down 48,000 £400,000 " The item of 125,0001. might be saved by Government providing suitable vessels and coals. " 6. In conclusion I hate 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 ex officio director at the board, and that the cable should be both constructed and laid down under the supervision of any officer her Majesty's Government might be pleased to appoint.

The Independence Beige of Tuesday evening contains the following letter from Autwerp, dated Menday morning, 2.30 a.m.:— " At the moment I write an immense disaster is occurring 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, had become the admiration of all foreigners, is nothing more than a heap 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 difilcul7 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 last fragment of wood. 4, 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 Bourse contained the chamber if 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.

THE ISTMiIItIS OF SUEZ CANAL. 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. "For a 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 of 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 arc the facts of this case, and by what circumstances my opinions are supported. In the year 1646 I was solicited by my friend M. Tale bot, one of the most eminent engineers of France, to inves tigate with him the practicability of piercing the Isthmus of Suez for a ship canal. The project had been suggested do M. Talabot by Linant Bey, a French enuineer, who bad 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 secure/ by M. Tatabot as a coad 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 water, cf the Nile, obtained at Cairo; and history had declared that Alexander the Great, in founding the port of Alexandria cn 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 sn almost invariable current from west to east, carrying the debris poured from the mouths of the Nile int) the Bay of Pelusdurn, and thereby rendering the maintenance of a deep 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. Lepere, who had secempanied the expedition to Egypt in 1799, had satisfaetorileeestablished that there was a differ ence between the levels of the Red Sea and tie Mediter ranean of no less than 9.90 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 harbour in the Mediterranean. " Undoubtedly, it was under the impression of the exist ence of this diffsrence 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'e instance, it is tolerably evident that the same primary consideration must have influenced him. That such was ttte case is addition ally apparent 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, 1846, until January, 1847, when M. Bourdaloue, the chief of the expedition, reported to M. Tatabot that it had been ascertained beyond the possibility of doubt, uncertainty, or question, that M. Lepere bad been mistaken ; that no difference 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 accoutate and levels:submitted to him M. Tata bot made a report, which, whether considered in an histori cal, scientific, or engineering point of view, is at once the most comprehensive and logical document that has even appeared upon the subject. After reporting en 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 maintehanee Of a channel, and of an entrance in the Bay a Pelusium, to the east of the Delta, was one difficulte insurniontable :' and from this he went on to show that, even supposing an entrance could be established to a cans! in the bay, the pitevelenCe of north winds during nine months of the year en that part of the coast would prevent ships from attempting with safety either to make it, or to leave it ) unless a harbour of refuge T o a t , o f sil nme b t ah h u e m i c e a n h g sp d awe i frffi blown luucrooul persuaded i de y hsd at o ev o n ate f dh a e x e c e u e were established to Sa te t h em f roitt t h e conseqUences i s n h g ore s ; uci a l o w d, ork a s fter he all s u a t y li s t — ig ia toa t n bd t e o a constructill e in s f i o t r t t : m h t : a t i k t i ß n h galn 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.'

Several years afterwards—in August, 1855, during the Exposition—l had the pleasure of meeting both M. Talabot and M. de Negrelli in Paris, but so utterly was the Suez Canal project closed 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 tha Mediterranean. Arrived at Alexandria, I determined to made a personal investigation of the district in which four years previously I had been so deeply interested. Pro ceeding ft otn Cairo by tee 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 inta the Desert, visited the site of the Bitter Lakes (now dry and desolate), encamped for two days at Lake Timsah, and thence proceeded over the high . ground towards Lake Balla!), travelling on foot — as , i n d ee d , it is difficult to traverse otherwise a large portion of the Deserts. From that rit'ge of comparatively e , eveted ground I was enabled to overlook the district towards Lake Altnz leh, which, during the period of high Nile, becomes a shal low lagoon, stretching along the coast and far into the Desert. Then, return i n g westward, en t ered the Ottadee Toutaat, at Sabahier, and, following the course of the ancient canal, I travelled in the direction of Bulbies and of the ruins of the ancient Bubasis, visiting the higher grounds to the 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. Talahot's report. O n my return to England I gave, on the 20th of May, 1851, 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 evident that it would not be practicable to keep open a level North II line nodal ►ndon , he 0 11 a top, _l a ver n ini mos' ng os hardl id the o tion. a and as by a stop done• va-np iscre- a bol nplOg and ~ and r iiit i I with' s ed ou if outif w ito ! ce 4 41? ?.fore pri' heP' able 11 IS n of Mr. Aic- ; a re et" jer• two
