A New Egyptian Canal.

There is a scheme on foot TO cut a
canal from Alexandria to the Red sea.
The scheme is being put forward by GER
tain persons in this country well known
in financial circles, and it is aided and
abetted by some of the scum around the
khedive. 1t is to be hoped that the
government in England and their repre-
sentatives in Egypt will have nothing
to do with it. Financially. it would be.
of course much cheaper to widen the
present canal than to make a new
one. Politically, were this Alexandra
canal made, we should be told that we
must permanently interpose in Egypt, in
order TO secure our waterway to the east.
The great advantage of the existing
canal is that it runs through the desert al
a considerable distance from the Nile val
ley, and that we could hold it or defend il
without meddling in the internal affairs
of Egypt OF course, the object of the
financial gentlemen is not to spend theii
own money, or to benefit either England
or India, but to get concession, and &c
take care that as much money as pos
sible from the funds provided by the
public in order to carry 1t out should
find its way into their pockets. go London
