Letters from Alexandria of the 28th of September
to indicate a diminution of confidence in the
?Peeing of the Suez Canal for immediate traffic. The
Inauguration on the 17th of November is fully looked
for, and it is also expected that ships will then pass
through from sea to sea, but there aro persons who
boldly assert that 18 months will be required be-
fore the work will be in a condition for the regular
°Perations of commerce. A Liverpool firm arc
alleged to have sent an agent expressly to survey
depth
report, and according to his account the
of water throughout the canal is very un-
-I'lll4. "An Egyptian corvette recently went up
a short distance and stuck fast, but in anticipation
of such a mishap she had been sent stern fore-
-1114t) and so came back without difficulty." In
estimating the value of these views, however, the
Isa.flare of tha many previous prognostications of
difficulties must not be forgotten.

Galbraith, Stringer, Pembroke, and Co., the busi-
ness to be continued at the same address. The
