SOCIAL SCIENCE.—The 14th annual congress of
the National Association for the. Promotion of Social
Science will be held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne from the
21st to the 28th of September next. The preparations
for it are now in a satisfactory state, and a large and im-
portant meeting is expected.
CANALS IN CONTEMPLATION.—We lately referred
to the grant of $30,000 recommended by the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the Senate, for the fitting out of an
expedition to survey the Isthmus of Nicaragua, and that
of Tehuantepec, in order to promote the construction of
an interoceanic canal. Certain special advantages of the
latter route, which we then pointed out, seem to be fully
appreciated by local capitalists. A bill has been reported
by Senator Fenton to incorporate the projected railroad
company with the proposed canal scheme, and the joint
enterprise is said to embrace the names of a large number
of New York capitalists, representing several hundred
millions of dollars. The line of the proposed railroad
traced some years ago, follows what may be called the
river-basin of the State, being, in the northern or lowland
division of Tehuantepec, parallel to the main direction of
the large stream called the Coatzacoalcos, and, after cross-
ing the mountainous ridge which runs at some distance
from the Pacific coast line, descending in the opposite
course of the southern rivers.—New York Times.
