THE IsTHMUs OF DARIEN CANAL.

The advices by the steamer "Pacific" give
some further particulars in relation to this con-
templated enterprise. The cost of the work is
estimated at fifteen millions sterling. The
route has never been actually surveyed, but the
superficial observations that have been made, in
duce the opinion that canal capable of passing
the largest vessels without locks. might be exca-
vated fer the sum specified. The London
Times, however. doubts the success ofthe scheme,
which it says must be subsidiary to the Nicara-
qua Canal. A Board of Directors had been des
termined upon, but the list does not present any
prominent names, and the London correspondent
ofthe New York Commercial says,-"With re-
gard to one of the objects for which it has been
introduced, namely to produce a rise in New
Grenada bonds which are largely held on the
stock exchange. the experiment seems to have
been failure. When the work was first vaguely
talked about, the quotation of these bonds was
driven by speculative purchases from the exis-
ting price of up to about Is or ID. Latterly it
had declined to IL, but yesterday, under the an
nouncement that the long talked Of company was
about to appear, there was an improvement to l21.
This. however, has been maintained and the
closing quotation to-day is about j."

Brook Avenue, near the intersection of Leigh
street. During that period he has been arragn-

heart of poor fallen man. Observing him one
fine morning seated among the prisoners in the
Mayors Court, and being attracted no less by his
unhappy cast of countenance than by his restless,
quaillng eye, we were tempted to make some
quires about him. One of the officers told us
that he answered to the name OF Mills; he was,
he said, disciple of st. Crispin-lived On the
Avenue-had 'done the State some service" in n
certain institution situated on the Western con-
fines of the city-and had been arraigned for a
