1t is evident, from more than one so,,ree af i,
formation, that project of immense Importance
tothe commerce and intercourse of the world. i,
at the present time seething and fermentipg in
Ehgiahd-nalney, a canal across the Isthmus of
Suez. Already according to a very able article In
Chambers Papers forthe People, the distance has
been measured; and the practicabilisv of the won
| drous project declared. The distance ia seventv-
i've miles-or by route leading to a lake, and
there to many miles of sackwater nayigation.
something over one hundred miles. The Red
Sea, which is twelve hundred miles in length. is
naVigable tor steamers in all weathers, and such
depth of canal could be excavated, as would pro-
oaoly prevent much transhipment in the vast
commerce OF India. And what would the COM
pletion of such canal cost? Why, according to
an estimate made-only So, 900! including
long wharfs Or piers at each end, TO ensure an
entrance from deep water But suppose the sum
required should be ga 200, 00O-what dificnltx
would there be in raising it in England and Indiai
None whatever. The consent of the Pacba of
Egypt and probably also of the Sultan of Tur-
key would be required-and in those quarters
little orno difficulty is anticipated; while already
England has the Arabian port of Alden, which
commands the Red Sea. This place, 81 nee its
capture, has risen from n struggling town of few
hundreds OF dirty Arabs, to city continuing
10000 or 10000 people.
That such canal is practicable to modern
science, despite the winds and shifting sands
OF the desert is not to be questioned-for ancient
ly the ''canal of the kings was constructed from
the Nile to the Red Sea, and was subsequently
kept open by the Mahomme dams for more than
century. Besides, the waters of the Red Sea are
324 feet above the Mediterranean, thus proyid-
ing for lockage aud scourage. When Napoleon
was in Egypt his engineers surveyed and stated
the practicnbilityss of the project, more than
halta century ago-and if the French had not
been defeated in those regions, the far-seeing
mind OF Bonaparte would probably have carried
the scheme into execution. That such a canal
would pay, is more than probable, for how much
OF the vast commerce, not only between England
and India, but between Europe and Asia, would
pass throughit. Nay, it is not impossible that
other nations will guarantee to Eng land its SAFE
ty, Oh the condition that it may be OPEN, with
fair foliage to the traffic of mankind. This pro-
ject will prove the great competitor in the old
world to our proposed railroad to the Pacific in
the new-our object being among other things,
to obtain large portion Of the India aud China
trade. The American Congress cannot too soon
take the preliminary steps in relation to the
latter, and thus, it were, anticipate, If not
render partially unnecessary, the former.
