Messrs Dauzas and BOutan who returned home by the
Labrador. He then went with Madame de Lesseps, &C
compauiod by Nathan Appleton aud VI. de Saba to visit
the Normal School at sixtvhfthst and Fourhave. He
was through the building by President Hunter,
and expressed himself much pleased He took this occa-
sion to say how profoundly he had been impressed by
the excellence OF the American Institutions he had seen
the organization Of which seemed TO him TO be most adj
mirabe.
1t has been we'll understood that Count dc Lesseps
and Lieutenant Wyse not in perfect harmony on
subject OF the Interoceanic Canal But nothing had
been said about their disagreement here until yesterday,
when Lieutenant Wyse who sailed for France yester-
day the Labrador with Messrs. Dauzas and Boutan,
expressed himself at length lie told Of his con
necton with the early surveys for the canal OF the con
ccssions NJ had received from the Colombian Govern
meut; and referred 10 the society he had formed Uhr
." Soc6t6 d'EtudesD to build the canal " Later he
added We were impressed with the idea that the

use in forming financial oompanye We therefore
sought him out and made conditional contract CIV
