THE sUEz CANAL.
From the Pail Mall Gazette, May II

From the Pail Mall Gazette, May IL
The latest news from Alexandria gives fuller
particulars as to the mode in which the Suez Canal
difficulty was put an end to. M. De Lesseps' threat
TO shut up una mGison," as he Is said to have de-
scribed the canal, was promptly responded to by
the Khedive. Two steam frigates were immedl-
ately stationed at Suez, and two others were des-
patched from Alexandria, accompanied by a tug
and transport laden with beacons, buoys light an
paratus and diving bells, to insure the naviga ton
OF the canal ana lakes IN OF obstruction or re.
moval OF the usual lights. General stone
was directed to superintend the land
operations, and McKillop Bey was placed
in charge OF the naval arrangements
Colonel Ward was sent to Ismaiia, to which body
OF regular cavalry was commanded to proceed
from their encampment IN The Wady. It is now
suggested that possibly NJ. de Lesseps wished to en-
joy good practical joke, but 1t has the Egyp-
tlans a good round sum and will not be appre-
ciated at Cairo. The terms upon which the DIM
Guilty has been settled are very variousiy given.
in Alexandria, 1t is said. NJ. de Lesseps has
yielded everything, while IN Port Said 1t is be-
eved that he has carried everything before
him." II the latter account OF the matter be the
true one, there has been, 1t Is pointed ont, mo
settlement OF the matters in dispute between M.
de Lesseps and the commerce OF the world, and
serious difficulties yet remain to be adjusted be-
fore relations between these opposing interests
can be looked on as satisfactorily ana perma.

JAY COOKE & co.
fphiladelphia TELEGRAM. Dec. IL

PhlladeIphia TeIegraMr Dec. II
The first meeting of the creditors of
Jay Cooke & Go. was held to-day, when
the report Of the trustees was submit
ted. The committee have decided to
revoke the order for dividend to be
made the 9Th of May, as $49l,5l5 is
all that is strictly applicable at the
present stage Of the proceedings for
cash dividends. The precise amount Of
claims against the estate cannot def
nitely be ascertained until the determi-
ma ton Of the exceptions have been
taken to several larger claims. Mr..
Miller says if the claims preferred
against the individual members Of the
firm are proven, there will hardly be
anything left for the creditors Of the
firm. During the conference between
the committee and the creditors the
best Of order prevailed. These meet
ing will be helr daily.
