CANAL lIETIVELN THE ATLANTIC AND
PACIFIC OCEANS.

If the following information (which we copy from the Cowie',
of Saturday), be correct, it appears that the long-wished-for co:.--
muniestion between the two great Oceans is -about to be carried
into effect. We remember that the Edinburgh Review, speaking
on this subject about eleven or twelve years ago, predicted that such
a Canal would be one of the earliest results of the establishment of
South American independence. That prediction, we are glad to
find, is now about to be verified. It is gratifying to see an infant
State lire that of Guatintals, in the first moments of rest. after the
termination of a glorious struggle for existence, applying its
energies to an undertaking of this magnitude and impotence • *nil
it is not leas pleasing to find that the great work will be condUcted
by British industry and capital.

" By advice* recently received from Peru, it appears tint tin
Atlantic and Pacitic Junction Company have concinded a contract
with the Government of Guatimals, for cutting a Navigable Ship
Canal between the two Oceans. The place chosen for this stupendous
undertaking is the South side of the lake Nicaragua,at the spot which
Humboldt describes as the only practicable point for opening a.:
communication. The cut, we understand. will be from twelve to
fourteen English miles in length, and will be navigable for ships ct
large burthen.

`gift is gratifying to perceive that a work of this kind, from which
the commerce of the world must derive such important advantages,
is likely to yield an ample recompense to the exertions of its
spirited promoters. Thy Government of Guatimala, aware of the
great value of such a communicaticn in a political as well as :4
commercial point of view, have met the proposals of the Con:.
palsy in the most liberal manner, and granted them very eater,.
sive privileges. Amongst other advantages, we understand. they
have obtained, for a term of furty years, the ex -.Naive right of
carrying on a steam navigation in the river San Juan, and on the
Lake Nicaragua. Besides the immense profits of the trade 0:i
this line, the Company are to have two-thirds of all tolls paid bw
vessels passing from one ocean to the other by the New .Cant,l.
Government retains for itself the remaining third, out of wkiLlt
it undertakes to form a fund for repaying the capital laid mu la tr •
work.

"An eminentengineer is about to proceed forthwith to (habeas'la.
fur the purpose of making the necessary surveys; and whey ma,.
sure are in active preparation for carrying the plan ir.to immediate
effect.

" We sincerely hope the undertaking may be successful. Among
the many projects of the present day for the employment
British capital, we know of none so pregnant with import:.•lt
benefits to commerce in general, and to that of England in
ticular."
