Freda Facto About the Cansl. Mr. C. Clarke. President of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce, read a paper. Dec. 13th, on the *glues Canal,''. tram which be has just returned. Mr. Clerke's conclusions are that, as regards the 'Wipe at Port Bald, it may be necessary either to fill up permanently the Interstices be tween the blocks which form the western breakwater, or dredge away the bank as It is formed. Either course is practica ble,-and might be taxers at amoderate ex pense. With respect to the injury of banks by wash, it may be neeeseery, in several portions of the canal, to reduce the slope of the banks, and to pitch them with atone to a height of two or three feet above the water line. This is already be ing done between Sara and ;the Bitter Lakes. There are inexhaustible suppflei of stone in the mountains near Sues, and now that the canal Is open, the cost of transport would be trifling. Tile fear of the canal drying up by evaporation Mr. Clarke regards as chimerical. No man who law the Bitter Lakes and the current flowing in from the Red Bea could enter. tatn such a notion. The filling of the canal by shifting sands is a real danger, though greatly exaggerated.' Of the bun died miles which form the entire length of the canal, about fifty-seven miles are made through lakes which have existed as natural basins for at leasttwothousand years without being filled with sand., Of the remaining forty-three miles the greater part consists of a mixture of rand and' gravel, in consistency re semging more a garden - walk than the floe loose materiel which is popularly supposed to form the desert. Mr. Clarke has no doubt whatever that the enormous machines which were arranged along the bank of the canal as he passed will dredge out in'a month all the sand which is likely to be Wolin in in a year. As ' regards the cost of maintaining the canal when completed, an eminent English engineer on boud estimated it at £611,000 per annum.. Mr. Cialke yeenid have thought at least £lOO,OOO would have been required; but be was told that Mr. Lavallez wan willing to contract for its maintenance at te-10,000 a year. Finally, as regards the prospecte of the canal as paying investment, Mr. Clark contested himself unable as yet to arrive at a satis factory opinion. The Hydrographer to the Admiralty has issued a series of directions for the navigation of the Canal. There is no doubt, it is staled, that every vessel will do more or less damage to Mg - banks on passing, but screwships going rive or six knots will do but . httle harm. large vessels should go' at slower speed than smaller ones. Several ships grontded on the mange, but this was caused morale their desire to get through quickly than from any fault in the Canal. The Red Blvei Rebellion. The insurgents, according to latest ad. vices, are in full possession of all the forts and - country. The recent expedi tion, planned and sent by Governor Mc. Dougall from his - headquarters In Mut. newts; has been captured by the insur gents, and it is not probable that he will be allowed to repeat his experiment by the Governor of Minnesota or General Hancock. Should Canada undertake to conquer the Red River people Into sub. mission, the tank would not Win , 'easy one. Them is no way by which this might be done save by sending an army Into the country. The only route by Which en army an be marched into this territory, without mating over American soil, Is by way of Hudson Bay; which is closed ten months in the year. The route from York House at . the -month of the Nelson river, or from Fort Severn, at the mouth of the Severn river, Is a canoe or bateau route through a varies of lakes and titan, broken by Miley or forty portages, through 'a barren country of . rocks, morasses, and jungles, which a few him. dred half-breed sharpshooters could de. fend against an army or 'many thousand men. . The distance from York House to Fort Gerry es 745 miles. There is an. other and a shorter route (647 miles` by way of thogreat lakes from Fort William to Feet Garry. But thil is more than fin. practicable, as It would require more than SO portages, and its morasses and jungle afford too good shelter for guer. ass and , a guerrilla warfare.
