According to the Paris Liberte, the
! President OF the Provisional Government
OF Crete has escaped from the island and
intends to go to the United States, where
he hopes to raise money aud purchase
ircn-elsds for the purpose of making an
other attempt for the liberation Of bis
country. The latest intelligence from
Crete in the European papers confirms
the success OF the Turks In capturing or
dispensing the Greek volunteers, and is

The Governor General Of India,
Lord Mayo, has been examining the
SGez canal. He thinks it will be oom-
pleted early in 1870, unless some unfore-
seen misfortune occurs. Ships will be
unable to pass each other, except in wide
places cut out for the purpose. With re-
gard TO the commercial success Of the
project, the tariff Of charges is as yet uu-
certain. Lord Mayo heard no estimate
SO to the cost Of maintaining the works,
but IL the commerce between the West
and the East passes over the canal, there
is no doubt that toll OF less than 81 "a
ton will be more than suft1cieut to re.
pay It's constructors and maintain the
works.
The tslIest chimney in the world Is
ssid TO be that atthe Port Dundas works,
Glasgow, Scotland. Its hight, fron the
foundation, 46s feet; above the ground,
454 feet, the foundation being II feet
deep. The outside diameter, on a level
With the ground, is 81 feet; at the top l2
feet inches. The most wonderful part
OF the story Of this lofty chimney is that
having been twisted out Of the vertical
line to the extent Of Z feet inches by q
violent wind before the mortar was har-
dened, human skill has reduced IL to g
perfect perpendicular again. The NOR
tar was sawed out on the windWard side
90 as to allow the chimney to settle
sufficiently to restore the perpendicular.
