News from New Granada.-Our advices from
Aspinwall are to the 18th, and from Panama to the
10th utimo.
The Aspinwall Courier, ofthe 10th ultimo, says |.
The shipping business of fAspinwallis quite con-
siderable. The list Of vessels which came under
the protection ofthe American flag alone, for the
month OF December, which we publish in another
column, gives handsome evidence Of this. This
must continue TO increase rapidly during the COM
ing year. From such foreshadowings as are oc-
casionally thrown our path, we CLEAN the
most positive assurance that, by the expiration Of
the year upon which we have just entered, the in
crease will be so great that the fair average will
be three sail per day."

an oceanic canal across the Isthmus Of Darien"
