The SUEL SHIP CAEAL--A report recently
made bya commission Of the distinguished Eu-
ropesn scisnt SITS, appointed to examine the va
EiOus routes between the Red Sea and the Med
itendnean, in connection with the Suez Canal.
embOdies some Interesting information. The
width Of the istbmus lie seventy miles, and Suez
and Pelusium stand at the nearest poiRts. After
weighing every question submitted in favor of
the different routes, the commission recon-
mends the most direct one, the entire line Of
which to be executed measures bat ninety-two
miles, and will not require e single loek, being
a free channel or camel, TO communicate direct
ly with both seas. such a channel. open and
free at slltimes, and capable Of admitting ships
Of the largest class, would be . strong induce
ment for all vessels trading between The In
dian and European seas 70 take this route.
which would be a saving in distance, over that
sround the Cape Of Good Hope, OF eight thou
sand miles.
The proposed depth of the canal is twenty
six feet, which the commission think will suf-
ice for vessels Of three thousand tons, which
are TO be propelled BY towing chains at the
rate OF six miles per hour. The rOadsteads Of
both Sutz and Pelusium are well adapted for
the entrance and exit ef vessels, having sufh-
eient depth Of water, with good anchorage.
The conGguration Of both approaches does not
appear to have changed for many centuries.
The estimated cost is s5 $50 coo, while the
expense Of maintaining the canal is computed
at G62 Oo0 annually. The commissioners be-
lieye that sufficient tolls would be taken to rem
der the enterprise remunsratiVe as an invest

The MOUNT VERNON PURcHAsE-The
ladies, as is well known throughout the
Union, have been exerting themselves with
the aid of the gentlemen, to raise a sutf-
cient amount to purchase Mount Vernon
They have paid already $4,000, of the
5000, 900, the amount of the purchase Va
rious plans have been suggested to raise the
balance. The Louisville Journal of Dec
2lst, says; Mr.. George Mellus, of the Lou
isvile Theatre, suggests a plan, which il
carried out would accomplish the object
easily. He proposes that on the 22d of Feb
next, the anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington, every manager in the country shall
give the receipts of the evenings perform
ances to the Mount Vernon Association, the
members of the profession relinquishine
their nights salaries and the managers
making no charge for rent OIL, any incidental
expense. This plan would be successful il
carried into effect.

"TKET SAT."-There is decision in the
last volume of Gray's Reports which is at
once sound morals and good law. A woman
sued for slander, was defendedon the ground
that she only repeated, and without malice,
what was currently reported. The Court
held that to repeat story which is false and
slanderous, no matter how widely it may
have been circulated, is at the peril of the
tale bearer. Slander can not always be
traced to its origin. Its power of mischief is
derived from repetition, even if a disbelief Of
the story accom- panies its relation. Indeed
this half doubtful way of imparting slandeI
is often the Surest method resorted to by the
slanderer to give currency to his tale.

Present Condttton ofRome.

One of the editors of the Utica Daily Her
aid now travelling abroad, thus speaks of
Rome and its decadence s.
No business seems to be doing. There are
no manufactures worth speaking of. The
place is oVerfowing with priests and beg
gars-the former, sleek, f1abby faced fellows
look as ifthey never had an aspiration above
roast beef and maccaroni. As to the latter,
they are the NEST insidlous, persistent, in
defatigable wretches / ever beheld. The
lazaroni of Naples are quite deficient in
comparison. They are ubiquitous, onni-
present. They dog you like grim death.
They cleave to you like leeches. You can
not stake them of, or scowl, or scold, or
threaten them away. And what is more,
you have not the heart to do it. Most .oi
these poor creatures are old and infrm, and
diseased, and look 80 thoroughly miserable:
that somehow your hand instinctiyely goes
to your pocket. Nowhere else have j seen
so many unmistakable objects of charity.
Rome, with all her ostentatious pretentions
to philanthropy, is more indifferent to her
poor than perhaps any other city in Europe.
There is no asylum TOR aged and infirm
paupers.
And yet tens of thousands of dollars can

emonials and cardinals can outshine the
splender of princes, and the Pope can load
his favorites with bounty. Poor Pope Plus
Rome is yet garrisoned with French soldiers.
He owes his feeble and Pickering power to
the potency of French bayouets. The
French flag floats from the citadel of St.
Angelo; every gate is guarded by French
gend armes. He dare not trust himself with
his own Italian subjects. "Let him send his
French hirelings away and we viii send him
on his travels a second time" is the voice
of Rome. Is not this q melancholy position
for one who claims to be at once temporal
and spiritual prince? You may well be-
lieve that this excites ths rage of the Italians.
Collisions are OF almost daily occurrence.
The other day grand tight took place be
tween the French and Italian soldiers near
the Coliseum in which several heads were
smashed, and some lives lost. The French
soldiers are pelted every where they go. The
consequence has been, that the French COM
mander has threatened to put the city under
military rule and see an order has just
been posted up about the Streets that any
further molestation of the French forces will
be punished with the utmost rigor. The
government of Naples is bad enough, but
seems respectable compared with the govern
ment of the Holy Church.

Hunting Ana the N orth of Mic ichigan.

Hunting Ana the North ofMichigan.
The Evau Claire Free Press says that J. T
Stone and Charles Buckman, two farmers,
living in the famous town of Bridge Creek
in that county, who devoted one day in four
to hunting, have in the space of three
months trapped and killed thirty-two bears,
three wolves aud one wildcat. They relate
the following anecdote connected with their
bear trapping "A large bear was caught in
the trap on the 18th of September, which
weighed four hundred pounds. On finding
himself fast in the trap, he started off with
it and the log attached, and coming to q
fallen tree, hammered the trap on the tree
for the purpose of liberating himself This
not proving successful, he proceeded to n
small oak-measuring about eight inches
through-up which he went, winding the
chain around it in his ascent, and cut off all
branches, within his reach, splitting his nails
in such a manner that he could no longer
retain his hold, and he fell suspended by the
right foot, where he was found dead by Mr..
Stone.
"About the first of October a large bear
carried off the trap, and a piece of wood
about twelve feet long, and weighing about
forty pounds, and which was attached to the
trap for the purpose of making "trail.
About ninety rods from where the bear
started with the trap was a marsh, to which
place he was tracked, and about half way
across, when the trail disappeared, and a
track as if a man had walked through was
visible. TIE supposition is, that the bear
becoming tired of dragging the heavy stick
through the coarse tall grass and weeds,
picked it up and carried it through The
trail commencing ON the other side of the
marsh, confirms the supposition. Soon after
the chain of the trap became entangled in a
bunch of alders, where his further progress
was impeded.
The wolves on one occasion attacked a
bear which had been caught in a trap
smashing in his skull and eating him almost
up. Scalps of these rhirty-two bears have
been preserved and can be seen by the GU
rious who happen in that vicinity. The
Press also gives an account of an elk hunt
in that vicinity. A herd of sixty elks were
discovered and followed for two days, curing
which time eight of the herd were shot
weighing, when dressed, two Thousand
pounds.
