sUEZ, Nov. Il, 1852 via Alexandra.
The Inauguration Fleet, consisting Of forty-6ve
steamers has arrived here. None were obliged to
employ pilots. The only difficulty they had was
owing 10 their numbers. Some were crowded upon
the banks of the canal several times but they got
off without trouble. the sandy bottom neither hold
ing nor hurting them On leaving Ismailia, several
steamers fouled with each other but serious dam
age was done. The water in the canal between this
point and Ismaia is full 90 feet deep at the shallow
est spot and in several parts it is less than
25 feet in depth but at all these points
the bottom easily be deepened- Steamers drawing
fifteen feet can navigate the canal from Port Said to
Suez with ease in fifteen hours. The water does not
wash away the banks as much as was apprehended.
The complete of the great work exceeds all
expectations. The arrangements for transporting
and taking care of the visitors here generally
cellent All the rolling stock on the Alexandria
Cairo and Suez Railroad has been brought into re-
QUESTION TO transport the immense crowds of visitors
The mails to and from India have been much delayed
in consequence The canal is now clear of shipping
the entire fleet having anchored in the harbor of
Suez. Tomorrow the statue of WaghOrn the En-
glishman who first proposed the building of the
canal will be erected here, and Tuesday the fleet
will start its return to Port Said. There statue
of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder and President
Director of the Canal will be raised With this last
ceremony the fetes of the Inauguration will probably
terminate. The Empress Eugene will return through
the canal with the feet her yacht the Aigle taking
the lead, as on the downward trip.
