The SUEz CANAL-The Paris cores
pondent of the Journal Of Commerce says
the international commission Of the Isthmus
of Suez have decided upon the following
arrangements for the canal: III
"They adopt the direct cut Of the 18TH
mus from the Red Sea to the Mediterra-
mean, from Suez to Pelusium. The canal
will be fed by sea water and not by that of
the Nile. The canal viii be one hundred
metres wide at the water line, in the part
comprised between Suez and the bitter
lakes. A part OF ten kilometres in length
will be built with stone. In all the rest Of
its course, the canal will be eighty metres
wide at the water line. The bitter lakes
will be filed with the water Of the Red Sea
and their navigation will be free. The ca
nal will not be embarked and the channel
will be indicated by stakes. AS to the
ports, they have decided In the port Said
on the Mediterranean, between OumA-Fa-
rez and QUINN Genuleh, the width Of the
channel will be four hundred metres, with
basins reserved. The jettes will be driven
ouly at the depth Of six metres, and the
rest of the channel will be excavated to
the depth of nine metres. The jettes will
be barely sixteen hundred metres in length.
The commission has decided the lighting
up of the coasts of Egypt from Fort Mara
bout on the west Of Alexandria, as far as
beyond Pelusium, and twenty leagues to the
east and on the coasts Of the Red Sea, at
oil the dangerous points, whether at the
bottom of the Gulf Of Suez or at the entry
of Babel-mandel. An interior port for VIC
tualing, repairing and caulking, will be
created at Lake Timash. This splendid
enterprise excites the most legitimate sym
pathies on the continent, aud the resistance
Of English statesmen will be obliged to
yield before this unanimous voice Of uniYer-
sal interests, at once material and moral.D

HoNoR TO WHOM Honor is DUE.-Com-
mander j. F. Schenck, U. s. N, has ad-
dressed letter on the subject Of Col. Ere
mont's claim to the Conquest of Califor-
MIA" to the Dayton (Ohio) Journal, in
which he claims for the Navy and Marine
corps alone the entire credit, if any due,
for that act, save and except the personal
services of the late Gen. Kearny and his
handful of officers and men. Commander
Schenck says:
| am prepared to prove that so far
from his-Fremont's-being entitled to any
credit for his having failed to cooperate
heartily and efficiently with Commodore
Stockton, so far from assisting in the con-
quest, embarrassed him-Stockton--in bis
operations, and rendered the victory less
complete than it would have been had we
received from Fremont the assistance we
had right to expect-mounted, armed and
equipped as be was. am further prepared
to prove that in every engagement and ev-
cry rout Of the enemy which took place in
California, Fremont was invariably too late
to take part and to sum up ALL assert
that during the whole of his service in Cal
ifornia, be was never within hearing distance
of the enemy's guns. The cause Of his in-
efficiency / will not here discuss" The

The Republican Process of Absorbing the
Americans.

Americans.
The Boston Post of the 25th instant
gives the following graphic account of the
attempt of the republicans to absorb the
Americans:
The AMERICAN CONVENTIONAL conven-
tion Of the Americans, or know-nothings,
regularly called, assembled yesterday at
Faneuil Hall, in which PSI towns were
represented by regularly-elected delegates,
and number Of towns by delegates whose
seats were contested. This party, in reg
uar convention, have nominated its candi-
dates-Filmore and Donelson; and yet the
divisions of the convention yesterday show
cd that the Fremont faction had loeH nigh
OrersLaHghed The FalnOYeites! The scene all
day in the hall, from this cause, was indie
scribable. The convention soon ranged it.
self into two factions-those for Fillmore
sitting on the one side Of the hall, and those
for Fremont on the other SIDE The organ
ization was not completed. .r
Zone of the most daring moves Of the Ere
monters was a motion made to admit all
who had tickets to the convention to sit as
members. Too much wool there, gentle
men, shouted one of the Fillmore delegates.
Mr. Vose, on the Fillmore side, after q
babel Of confusion, succeeded in making his
voice heard, and stated that be was inform
ed, on good authority, that quantities Of
tickets Of admission had been issued from
the Bee oficel He then asked if it was
treating any portion Of the convention right
to admit all such to be delegates? This
little speech made its mark. The obnox-
ious motion was tabled amidst the enthu-
siastic cheers Of the Fillmoreites. s.
1.-THE outsiders were allowed the range
Of the galleries; and these, too, seemed by
the cheers to be about half and half The
talk of the Fillmore know-nothings there
was rich. When did Fremont join the
order? said one He's Frenchman and
a Catholic another remarked; and ID
Of candidate for Americans Why don't
you long heel herd with your tribeP another
shouted, as q Fremonter essayed to speak.
Sometimes the cheering inthe galleries was
quite smart. But the feeling of the Fill
more men was one Of great Indignation at
the course Of the Fremonters; and the re-
mark was often heard that if member Of
the order couldn't support Fillmore he had
no business in it, but should quit and go to
the Fremont party. .-
''The convention meets again to day,
when the first thing will be report on con-
tested seats. The Fremont men are deter
mined, the Fillmore men are firm, and the
prospect Of union among them is not very
cheering. ysfi 4.

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs W. e
have roticed that many persons wear India
rubber over shoes in cold weather, to keep
their feet warm. This is An injurious and
evil practice. Iodia rubber shoes are very
comfortable and valuable for covering the
feet during wet sloppy weather, but they
should never be worn on any other occasion
their sole use should be to keep out wa
ter. They should, therefore, be put of
whenever the wearer enters a house, and
be worn as little as possible, because they
are air tight, and both retain and restrain
the perspira'ion Of the feet. The air cannot
be excluded from them, or from any other
portian Of the body for any length Of time
without affecting the health. Its our opn
ion that no habit tends more to good health
than clean feet and clean dry Stockings ST
