The North American Review contains an
interesting account derived from India papers,
OF the imposing ceremonies which took place
at the celebration last year of the opening Of
the Gangcs Canal. The work was undertaken
by the British government, "a declared 10 the
pamphle, printed for distribution at the cele-
bration. TO secure 10 its people in the coun-
try between the rivers Ganges and Jumna, an
immunity from the pains and losses that fam
Inc brings with it." The experiment of canal
irrigation on n small scale, had operated ef.
lectually. where tried, TO avert the wholesale
destruction OF iii, which follows in that region
upon the loss of the crops, through failure Of
the periodical rains. The famine in 1897 and
1888 in the unirrigatcd districts, had cost the
British Indian government, in advance Of
money and the remission Of taxes. five millions
of dollars The cost Of the Gauges Canal,
which puts such calamity almost beyond the
possibility Of recurrence. was only seven and n
hall millions Of dollars, and it is expected to
yield to the government an annual return Of
fourteen per cent, 10 water-rent and increase
Of land revenue. SO that rs an expe,iient Of
economy, not less than as measure of phi
lauthropy, this great work was judeiously exc
cuted by the British rulers OF India.

Commercial Influences.

With matters Of commerce men Of all conif-
tions In life have remote, if not direct in
terest and therefore ii 10 that all seek informa.
| tion in regard to subject so comprehensive in
| its Influences, The Hon. Joseph 4. chandler
chose this topic for one Of his lectures before the
Mercantile Library Society Of st. Lonis, and
gave many apt illustrations Of the power Of
commerce in all ages. We quote q notice of
| the lecture from the Republican.
tNow-a.days, where was health and wealth
was commerce. He alluded to Italy as 4 stris
king instance that reciprocity was the life Of
trade, and that consequently between the yari-
GUS Italian States no commerce could spring
up, because they all had the same productions;
that our country was equally illustrative of
this principle, both becsuss of it's foreign and
domestic commerce. The North needed the
products Of the Sou,h and the South demanded
in return the manufactures of the North Each
gave to the other Of its surplus, and the want
OF one being compensated BY the superabun-
dance of the other, exchange followed, and this
was commerce.
4" The cities of Tyre, of Venice, Of Genoa, and
their deeadence argued nothing against this
proposition that commerce ruled Che world.
When they were the marts Of she great Eastern
trade they aouriahed !; and when commerce, de.
