RBGENT's. CANAL.--fit length all difficulties
respecting . the finishing of the REGENT'S CANAL
are removed. On Wednesday last • a Meeting of
the Proprietors WAS held at the Company's Office;
and though not numerously atteuded, yet the sub-
scription, amounting• to 110,000/. necessary to
meet the requisition of the Commissioners lately
appointed- fo'r the issue. of- Exchequer Bills to aid
•in the completion of public works, &c. was in. •
stantly filled ; and as
.promise of sufficient
hinds to complete the Canal has been given 14 the
Commissioners, no time, we understand,' will now
be lost in proceeding with the works of-the. Canal.
On the public utility and importance of this work,
particularly -to they Metropolis, we have ktfore
observed ; but until yesterday'we were not aware
that the stun of 360,0001. had been subscribed by
-only 200 individuals—than which a more eon-
„'incing vroot cannot be adduced, not only of the
respectability, but, of the confidence- of the Pro-
prietors in the ultimate success of this great un-
-dertaking.

In the Royal-Society of. Edinbnrcb, on the 19th
of May, a paper, by Mr. STEVENSON, civil t'si7
neer, was read, regarding the operation. of the
waters of the ocean and or the river Dee, 'in the
basic or harbour of. Aberdeen. From- which it
'appears, that Mr. STEirE'NSON, in the month ot
April., 1812, with the use. of au Ipstropeot, has
been able to lift salt water from the bottom, while
it was (pite,,fres.ll,at. the sntface, and has -sat isfac-
