O. =. Cirsuit Court.

The U. s. Circuit Court sat yesterday, Judge
Bradford on the bench. The Court rehdred a
decision in the suit of the Delaware Hairoad
Co. u.s. John S. Prettyman, U. s. Internal Col
lector. The suit was originally brought, in
October 1870 in the State Court of Chancery
where the Chancellor granted an injunction re-
stralning the Collector from proceeding with
the coli, ction of the tax upon the dividends on
the stock, and interest on the bonds,o of the Com
pany, assessed against it under the Income Tax
laws. The suit now appeared IN the Circuit
Court, upon the motion OF U. s. District Attor-
ney higgins, representing the defendant and
the interests OF the United States to dissolve the
injunction.
lu disposing of the case, Judge Bradford de-
hyered all exhaustive opinion, dlssolving the in-
junction, and dlsmissipg the bill. The Compa-
ny will therefore have to pay the tax, which
amounts to some $30UO. Another case, very
similar in character, and involving substantially
the same points of law, in respect to taxes as
sessed under the last income statute, ls also
pending between the same parties, and argu-
nent upon it has been liked for the3d of March

THE OLD CANAL AND TINE NEw-THE SHIP CANAL
PRoJEcT-DoUBTs AND QUESTIONS ABOUT IT
FIGURES AND FACTS.
Special Correspondence Of aie Commercial.
DOVER, February4.
The bill pending in the Legislature to author
ize the Ship Canal Company, chartered by the
State of Maryland, to construct its canal across
the State, excites criticism, and may, very prob
ably. fail to pass. You have already given the
gist Of its provisions in the COMMERCIAL. It is
not regarded as an act of incorporation, and this
ia one OF the causes Of objection to it. Various
criticisms are made upon it, by members, among
other that the dimensions proposed are too small
for " Ship Canal" depth of 15 feet is too
little it is said for the ships which 1t is desired.
especially by the commercial interests Of Balti-
more shall be accommodated, while width of
sixty feet is open to the same objection But the
provision that the Canal is to be of these dimen-
sions. unless at such points where the nature of
the soil, &c, renders 1t impracticable, exctes
further criticism. 1t ia inquired whether
it may not be ascertained, upon trial, that it sim-
practicable to give the excavation the size men,
toned. throughout the greater part of the route,
thus producing, ultimately, nothing more than
an ordinary canal, and especially il such route
is taken as some surveyed, coming into direct
competition with the present one from Della
ware City to Chesapeake City.
The old canal, in fact, accommodates vesFels
of considerable size. The locks, (Which are the
true measure of capacity hayea depth of ten
feet of water over their sills, aud there is safe
depth of from to II feet throughout the exca-
walton. This will accommodate colliers Of 600
tons burthen. The Ericsson steamers, which
now ply through draw and 81 feet.
The accommodation, therefore, for ordinary
coasting commerce, provided by the present Ca
nal is very tolerable, and the greater difficulty is
.ourd in the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which
prevents any extensive commerce between Balti-
more and New York, by interior routes, on ac-
cout of it's deficient Dimensions. Its depth is
but feet. In fact our old canal is q large one.
The great Erie Canal is much smaller, even since
the enlargement of 1852. Its original size was
twenty-eight feet on the bottom, forty feet on
the surface and four feet in depth. In 1862 its
enlargement was completed, which made it fifty
feet vide at bottom, seventy on the surface,
seven in depth, and capable Of floating boat
carving two hundred and thirty tons. IL is now

Special Correspondence of he Commercial.
Dover, February 4.
In the two sessions of the Legislature, to-day
there was not the rush and hurry of yesterday
afternoon. The fact is the activity of yester-
day ran the members short of business, and the
consequence is, dull day, to-day, and the same
for tomorrow.
Three divorce bills passed the Senate, to-day,
as follows Annie Jones and Henry Jones, and
Elizabeth G. Kersey and John 8. Kersey, both
Of Wilmington and Lucy p Hanson and Peter
7. Hanson, of Bridgeville. ALI these cases are
considered very just ones.
The bill declaring dogs to be personal proper
ty, passed the House, and a preamble and reso-
luton relative to an increased representation to
the General Assembly, offered by Lewis Thomp-
son, were among the most important mattors.
Quite number sf bills were noticed, and sever
al passed second reading.
The caucus, tomorrow evening, will nominate
both the State Auditor and State Treasurer.
The Levy Court of Kent county is in session
