WEDNESDAY. APRIL Is, 1882.

THE CANAL. A brisk business is now going
on upon the Canal. The arrival Of boats here.
during the past week, have been numerous. and
they have been heavily and richly laden. We ba-
l'eve ur merchants are laying in greater variety
OF articles for the wholesale business than hereto
lore. $" that customers may expect to be accom-.
moda'ed with such goods as they want, and at fair
prices From such observation as we have hcen
able to make, believe that the increase of bu.i
ness on the Canal that of the last year. will
be greater than it has been in any former season.
The transportation of merchandise, generally, is
fast increasing, in addition to which, there will be
large amount of business in articles on which but
little calculation has been usually made. There
is already Urge quantity of ship timber at the
landings, and il will, doubtless. continue to come
in through the season, as, we are told it meets
with ready sale, at prices which net a profit to
those who procure it. Bricks will also become
nedry article OF transportation, if sufficient guam
NY can be made here to supply the demand
contracts haveSalready been made for them, to a
considerable Amount. to be sent down the Canal.
Our bricks are of aquality much superior to anv
which can be made from the clay raund toward
Providence. and to those which are usually brou cht
INTO that market by water. Yet, at the present
rate OF Canal tolls, our superior brick can be deliv
cred In that place. at such prices as will make
them come cheaper to the purchaser, than the or.
binary bricks which have heretofore been used.
Time and experience will probably discover new
branches OF business, which will afford additional
income to the Canal, and be productive of profit 10
thosa who carry it on.

The chief topic ofconversation in England
was the French Expedition to Italy, which
landed and took possession of,he citadel of

Terceira, had created a strong sensation in
the Azore Islands, and the spirits of his fol-
lowers were high and their hopes sangnine.
1t was not known whether Spain would in
terfere with The affairs Of Portugal, hut in
case of such intervention il was considered
certain that France and England would in
terfere to resist Spain. The Belgian and

But young as no was, there was visible

Of riches.
