FROM WASHINGTON.

The Darien suryeymA More Favorable
Special Despatch to the Euening Telegrdph.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Commander Sell
fridge reports to the Navy Department that he
has completed the survey of the San Bias route
for the Darien Intcroceanic Canal, as far as the
season would permit, on the 11th of June.
After detailing the operations of the expedi-
tion as published in THE TELEGRAPH yesterday,
Commander Selfridge continues -
He cannot with certainty speak OF this route for
canal purposes until he obtains the levels OF Mr.
on the continent-only twenty-six miles of excava-
ton and twelve miles by river, which has depth Of
harbor en- the Atlantic coast. The whole Atlantic
slope on the San Bias route has been thoroughly
connoitred, and the position OF hills and VAL
leys on the route Of the line mapped down. eX.
cepting the valley Of the Cart river, which would
take but few days to finish. The expedition has
surveyed and obtained all the necessary Information
TO pronounce upon three different lines OF transit
across the Isthnus OF Darien.
There remain only three other lines to be sur
practicablty OF cutting canal across this sthmus.
These three lines are, irst by the Tuyra and Paya
rivers, across to the Cacarica Lake and pia the
Atrato to the Atlantic second, by the Tuyra river,
the Cordillera and the Tanela rivers to the
Bay OF Escondedo, Few miles above the mouth of
the Atrato; third, from the mouth OF the AXmila
small river Cape Tiburon across to the Tuqueza
river, 10 the Cnuqunaqua, and then west TO the
Gulf OF Darien. Commander Selfridge speaks
very eDcouragingy OF the success OF the expedition,
ana suggests a continuance OF the surveys as soon
the dry season commences, by the same party, as
they have gained experience that would take new
party another season TO acquire, and the Knowledge
acquired by the young naval officers who have be-
come good surveyors, would not then be lost; and
also, that there is large amount OF material re-
naming that could again be made use OF but not
saleable, and which would become useless by long
storage. The survey OF the other three Remaining
routes, conducted upon the same small basis as the
past expedition would require but a small amount.
Two vessels, one stationed at the mouth of the
Atrata, and another small one In the Tuyra river
would meet all the requirements.

Thomas Pattison, Lieutenant Commanders
Robert F. Bradford and Charles s. Norton,
Lieutenant Thomas F. Wade and Captain Will

the Plymouth, now at New York, have been or

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.

The reason lies In the prediction OF Wall street to

June by the bears and, now that the market does

first to grow timid and cover their contracts. We're

Ketchum-Boyd affair, the price would have declined
before this to figure below no. Its frmer tone is
moreover, assisted by the strength Of the foreign
exchanges, the leading bankers refusing to draw at
less than specie shipping rates during the interval
between the old ano new cotton crops. This situa-

gold is nrmer, 1t Is dull; and while the price may

no promise OF speeay wealth in its tanner fuctua-

advance very sharply. General Grant and Secretary

of $4,000, his surety being his brother August

would not forfeit his ball. Judge Collins per-
