A COMPETING SUEZ CANAL.

Deputations to Ministers naturally place before
the servants of the Qaoeu views of a varied aud
often diverse character. Impossible requests
are frequently made ; but the head of the de-
partment who is waited upon is as a rule blend
and courteous, listens to all that is said, and
proedsee fail consideration to ail which has been
laid before line. At times no sooner has one
deputation left the preseace .of the Minister
than another, the exponents of precisely opposite
opinions, enters the apartment .where be is
seated, cud assures him that what he has just
heard is altogether wrong, and that those then.
before him are only in the right. As to the real
value of deputations as a rule, it is not easy to
form a correct conclusion upon superficial bases.
Memorable occasions have arisen in which a
deputation has undoubtedly changed the policy
of a Government. A very noteworthy instance
of this was in the first week of Mu, 1863, when
Mr. Gladstone, as Chancellor of the Exalt quer,
in the Cabinet of Lord Pelinerston, pronesed his
famous taxatioe of charitiee. A deputation
nunierous and representative almost without
precedent, waited upon the Minister of Finance,
tilled the rooms of his official residence, crowded
the staircase and overflowed into the street,
with the result that Mr. Gladstone went down
to the House of Commons on the saale evening,
and while not withdrawing froai his ideas of the
, justice of his scheme, admitted that ihe pressure
'of public opinion had compelled him to with-
draw it.
lb depu'ation which waited on Earl Grau-
tille on the subject of the Sui-z Cenei, whitst
not so numerous as that just alluded to, was
eminently representative of the coaanercial in-
terest of this country. A woedeefal change has
tome over the pubic mind since the notion was
first entertained of cutting a canal threugh the
desert between the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea. Ridicule was cast upon the project atm
the believers in the impossible ; but at toe same
time it had its attractive side for those who
know that in the records of ancient history the
shores of the Mediterranean were inhabited by
some of the finest races of euumn beings
.ever
scut upon the surface of the earth. 'the
narrative of the overterowiug of the Egyptian's in
the Red Sea as they arose and pursued after the
departing Israelites is cue of the must graphic
in Od Testament story. The promise of
western civilisation to unite by a waterway 100
miles in laugth.these vast bodies of water of
Ruch historic interest was not regarded with
favour by statesmen, or looked upon 1.4 praciebl
by engiueers. It Nes urged that as fast as the
canal was made the thirsty laud teirouge which
It passed would absorb the water, that the sands
of the desert would be coutivany choking it,
that evaporation in the dry atmosphere would go
so rapidly on that the depth couitt nut be main-
tained, and that the difference of level between
the two seas would render the plan impracticable
in execution. M. de Lessepe persevered, not-
withstanding every obstacle and every discourage-
ment. Lord Palinerstoo' whose zeal for the in-
terests of his country will pass unquestioned in
any age or time, was never convinced of the
feasibility of tee project, alai died four years
before its completion. When it was finished it
was opened widi a magnificent ceremonial,
werthy of the most gorgeous dievays of Eastern
splendour. Ad the magnificence which
Orientals know how to bring to bear in order to
impress the mind was called into requisition, to
inaugurate the successful accompiieument of SO
grand a conception.
So large has ben the amount of traffic
through the Suez Canal that the British mer-
chants now desire the creation of a secoud
channel. The delays in the passing of the
ships are of serious import to commercial in-
tensts. Hence the powerful! and representative
deputation which waited on the Foreign Secre-
taty, asking for the eoral support of toe Gov-
ereelent to en aitereative canal beaeme.
Ge'oinet can of course take no officiul notice of a
plan which at present is iu.eo early a stage of
its progress ; and it must also be remembered
that the Bi ilish Government is a very consider-
able shareholder in the existing Suez Canal, a
large number of shares having been purchased
iu tee atitunin of 187, when the late Adminis-
tration was in power. As toe facts stand at
present, Great Britain supplies fouieflithe of the
traffic which eaeses tareugh this great water-
way, the iteporialice of a hich, if never made so
