THE CANALISATION OF THE ISTHMUS

OF SUEZ.

ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

The project for cutting a canal through the -Isthmus of
Suez begins, says the Paris correspondent of the TlllteS,
to occupy so much the attention of the public, notwith-
standing the absorbieg interest attached to our opera-
tions in the Crimea, that it may not be considered out of
place to say a few words respecting it. It appears that
in November last the Viceroy of Egypt communicated to
Lit.swebk-wa-s SntifollseU
to organise a "universal company," to which the con-
cession of the construction of the canal should be ac-
corded. The terms of the firman excliale the idea which
had been entertained that the said concession was exclu-
sively granted to a single French subject, or even to a
French company. It was granted to an association of
shareholders of every country, to be constituted by the
person already named as the representative or negotiator of
the Ticeroy. M. de Lesseps at the outset gave com•
plete explanations to Mr. Bruce, her Britannic Majesty's
diplomatic agent and Consul-General in Egypt. In the
letter addressed from Cairo, on the 27th of Nov. to that
gentleman the negotiator expressed his earnest desire to
avoid everything which could give the slightest umbrage
to national jealousy of any ' kind. It is moreover,
affirmed, that he contributed in no slight degree to the
completion of the railroad from Cairo to Suez, the con-
sequences of which have been so beneficial. M. de
Lesseps proceeded to Constantinople, and placed himself
in friendly communication with Lord Stratford de Red-
cliffe, and, through the Grand Vizier, delivered to him
from the Viceroy of Egypt an official letter, in
which the construction of the canal was described
as most useful, he abstained from pressing for the
ratification of the Sultan the moment he perceived a
shadow of opposition on the part of the English Ambas-
sador.

Lord Stratford having informed the Divan that he
waa about to address a report to his Government on the
subject, and having demanded that no decision should
be come to until he had received his instructions, M. de
Lesseps quitted Constantinople and returned to Egypt.

The Tuscan Government is said to be prepa-Ang a de-
fence of the judgment in the case of Cechetti.
The Journal de St. Petersbourg pubEshes above four
columns of "les passages les plus relnarquables " in the
"eloquent discours " lately delivered in Parliament by
Mr. Gladstone.

According to the report of the Irish Loan Fund Board,
just publisheti, it appears that during the past year there
were 115 societies in existence, circulating 870,0241,,
granting 208,917 leans, at a uet wait of 7,2531.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed very tamely, but the prices of last week were
folly sustained. The sales were estimated at 5,000
'416 (2,000 of which were taken on speculation),
riall':uting 3,000 American at various prices ; 200
Egyptian at 7id. to 8/d., and 1,500 Surat at 3d.

tat

"There is now but very liVle of any description of- Si

That a further advance will take place is only reasonable
t4santir:ipate, as the market hitherto has never had such 5(
Lealthv aearance. The whole stock now will not
reach 600 tonpps, one-third of which is low fruit, so that
at the present rate of clearances there is not three
Taonths'tconsumption left, and there is no prospect of 5(
any additional supplies of importance until next season's 15
op• Several parcels have been taken from this for the
London market, which was first to advance. The clear- 25
