DECLARATION
OF TIE ALLIED SOVER EIGNS.

The sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia, assembled at Verona, have adj
dressed to their ministers, at the several
European courts, the follow ing circular.
the originals OF which are signed respec-
lively that to The Austrian minister,
by Prince Metternich TO the Russian, by
Count Nesselrode and 10 The Prussian,
by Count Bernstein. 1t is dated AT Vero-
ma, December S. After stating the con-
Clusl ms to which The allied mouarchs have
come respecting the Italian states, the cir.
cular proceeds as follow.:-
"The object of the Congress at Vero.

greewent, was accomplished by the reso.

The assembled sovereigns and cabinets
could not but turn their attention TO diff
cult and intricate affairs, the progress OF
which had necessarily engaged them ever
since their meeting at Laybach.
An event Of The greatest Importance
had taken place before The close of that
meeting. What the spirit OF revolution
had hegun in the western peninsuia--wbat
it bad attempted in Italy, it succeeded in
efecting at The eastern extremity OF Eu-
rope. A. the moment when the military
instruction in Naples at Turin yielded al
the approach Of regular force, a hrebrand
of rebellion was thrown into the Ottoman
empire The coincidence OF the events
could leave no doubt in ne ssmeness Of
their origin. The breaking out of the
same evil in so many different points, and
every where, though under various pre-
texts. yet accompanied by the same forms
and the same language, too evidently be-
trayed the common focus from which it
proceeded. Those who directed this e.
vent had fat,ered themselves that they
would use it to confound by discord the
counsels Of the powers, and to neutralise
the forces which new dangers might sum
mon 10 other parts Of Europe. This bop.
was disappointed. The nonarchs, re-
se'ved to repel the maxim OF rebellion, in
whatever place OF under whatever TORN it
might shew itself, immediately pronounced
their unanimous sentence OF disapproba-
ton upon it. Devoted with unceaslng at
teD.ioa to The object OF their common
cares, they withstood every consideration
which might have led them aside from
their path; but at the same time they fol.
lowed the voice Of their conscience, and

TIE CALIFORNIAN CANAL.

This canal was commenced in A. ID.
1902, and has iatel y been completed at
the expense of S4,OO0,O00. 1t runs
quite across Scotland, from hurry Firth
to Null Sound, passing through the
much celebrated valley in the Highlands,
known by the name Of the Great Glen
OF Scotland, and thus connects the
North Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. Its
length is sixty miles; thirty seven of
which are through lakes, aud twenty
three are cut canal. The lakes through
which it passes are Loeb Doufour, Loeb
Ness, Loeb Oich and Loeb Lochy. The
New Edinburgh Encyclopedia gives The
following as the dimensions of this ca.
nal. 1t is some hundred and twenty
feet wide at the waters surface, fifty feet
wide AT the bottom, and twenty feet in
depth of water. the locks are of one.
hundred and seventy, and $50 feet in
length and 30 feet in width. These di
mansions are sufficient, both in single
and united locks,rto admit the largest
vessels trading between Liverpool and
the Baltic, the average of West India
men, and thirty two gun frigate when
fully equipped"
BY means Of his passage many vessels
will be saved from the shipwrecks to
which they are. peculiarly liable, for a
great part of the year, in going around
by the Shetland and Orkney Isles.

at present the largest IN the world. The
