The Proposed Canal across the Isthmus OF
Panama.
INTERESTING PAPER READ AT THE SOCIETY OF ARTS,

INTERESTING PAPER READ AT THE SOCIETY OF ARTS,
LONDON.
From the London Daily News.]
A paper on the proposed Central American Canal,
and its relation to commerce, by A. g. Findlay Esq,
was read last evening at meeting of the Society Of
Arts, John street, Adephi. 1t was to the following
effect:
The existence of the American continent in mod
em European history is recent fact not older than
very many Of the most familiar ecclesiastical and
other edces around us, yet European art and civli
cation have almost totally displaced the original
systems which existed at the period Of the re dscov
cry by Columbus. The Spanish and Portuguese in
fuences have extended in the central portions
chiefly, those assmilated to the parent eli
mate, not farther north south than 30 deg or 30
deg, while the vigorous AngloS Saxon race have
ndustriousy pursued wealth and commerce in the
more temperate or changing climates Of the north or
south.
Yet during the very earliest periods of European
possession the Isthmian Canal was q great desid-
eratum, and Cortes obtained a grant of land in
Tehuantepec, which ne proposed to enhance IT, the
value OF by connectinsthe two oceans across It, This
fact, which was subsequently often mooted, is i'm
portant to be remembered now, in the present i'm
mensely increased necessity for it.

TO show what new fields for commercial enterprise it
will open and what existing advantages 1t will in
crease.
The revolution Of the earth and the solar heat
cause the phenomena of the trade winds within the
tropics. These blow from NE. and Sc, meeting
near but not on the equatora fact due to the une-
quail distribution OF land and water in the two hemis
pheres. The line OF junction is between latitude
deg. and 10 deg. NJ and Panama lies in this inter-
val, and suffers accordingly from the Gains aud
changing winds due to its position. This belt of
Gains is very great obstacle to ships crossing it in
the Atlantic and Pacific. 1t has great influence on
climate also; for the trade winds being evaporatng
winds, on meeting, deposit the water with which
they are then saturated, and Panama during the
time of the suns N. declination is deluged with
rain, in quantities sufficient TO I'LL the high level Of
any canal which might be formed with locks.
To the direction or winds that Of currents is main

the Atlantic the water Is all forced into the Gull OF
Mexico, and is presumed to raise its normal Level

THE GAS MONOPOLY.

Some two years ago, avery determined effort
was made to put through a contract between
our City Councils and the New-York Gas-Lieht
Co, whereby the present monopoly enjoyed by
that Company of supplying the lower part OF
the City with gas would have been practically
extended for further term Of fifteen years.
True, no such monopoly was IN porls granted
but the fleet Of the contract would have been
precisely this. For the Gas Company enjoyed
it's monopoly, not by reason Of It's charter, but
in virtue Of the fact that It's pipes are in al the
streets, and cannot b. taken up while it is SUD-
plying the Corporation with gas; nor will the
public convenience permit the obstruction AMI
upsetting Of the streets tolay down the pipes
OF any rival company, EVENT. there we're room
for them in the streets, and If a company could
be found foOl-hardy enough to enter into such
unequal competition with rival having nine
points advantage al the outset.
The only node by which our citizens can en-.
Joy the benefits OF competition in the suuDl7 of
gas, is this: Let the Corporation refrain from
making any new gas contract, but ler II adyer.

tia valuation BY competent judges unless The
Company should be so mad as to prefer taking

this course, our citizens would be supplied with

advantage of business, and to the increase Of
their OVID comfort.

TIE POLICE JUGGLERY.

The bill before the Legislature TO " reform
our Police, TO which we referred yesterday, is
crafty and shrewdly managed scheme of cen
tralizatiOn, and if carried into effect will place
Us completely in the power of Mayor Wester-
welt and his confederate, Matsen IL is an
Improvement upon the existing sw, as viii
be seen upon careful inspection, which msy
well command attention. The present Law di-
reefs the Comnon Council TO apportion the
Police TO the Wards the proposed law seems
to leave this duty in the hands OF the Mayor,
ignoring the Council altogether. With an eye
TO a multiplication of fat Offices for the
faithful, the new bill relieves the officers Of
the Police Department from the duty of Street
Inspectors, Of Health Wardens, &c, which
they should and partially do perform, leaving
them only the sinecures OF dock masters Let
the bill become law, and forthwith We shall
see the Aldermen appointing from fifty TO

some two years mastery inactivity" our
City Superintendent of Lamps and Gas grayely
reports TO the Common Council that the old
contract is just expiring; and he wants TO
know what shall be done What can the man
have been thinking of throughout the past
year
The whole game is now manifest. The at
tempt to force premature extension OF the
monopoly was defeated SO sll was kept quiet
until so late an hour that it is believed no alter
native remains for the City but to walk into the
open jaws of the Gas Co. And perhaps the cal
culation is safe one
We hope not, however. There is time even
yet for rescue. Let us go on 8 few months,
if necessary. without contract; and should
the Company refuse to supply the City with
gas on the usual terms, let it be required to
take its pipes out of the streets. Meantime,
let proposals for supplying the City aud citi-
zens with gas be invited and let an early day
be fixed to open and decide upon them. All
we ask is fair chance If no one will offer TO
supply US on better terms than the old Com
pany, give it the preference; but if others ,ciN
serve us cheaper, let us have the benefit oft

And what does Young Anerica in the Senate

with great show and pretensions, TO hoist their
wiDd-bags, and have not only lost them over
board, but have barely saved their own bacon,
by coming down by the run on the standing
rigging OF the ship.

HON. AMOS TUCK.

We have received a copy Of letter ad-
dressed by Hon. Amos Tuck TO his consti-
tuents dated at Washington the 10th of Feb
ruary, in which Mr.. Tuck announces the with
drawal of his determination not to run as a
candidate at the approaching election, aud de-
claring his acceptance of the nomination ten
dered him.
Mr.. Tuck is thus fairly in the field again,
and We sincerely hope he may triumph over
his antagonists as signally as he las done in
previous contests. An extraordinary attempt
was made in 1850 to so gerrymander bis dis
trict as to keep him out of Congress, but his
opponents were thwarted by the energy and
zeal Of Mr.. Tuck's friends, who returned him by
an immense majority. A new attempt has now
been made 20 Oyerslaugh him by reconstruct
ing his district, ard again putting him in a
minority. We trust that the sense of wrong
that this renewed effort at gouging cannot
fail to awake among the Wings and Free
sOilers of his district, may arouse them to
determination TO re-elect Mr. Tuck. His
chance is hard one, but he can be chosen if
bis friends viii set about il in earnest Let
them not fail to do it.
