THE {$0515th BAY GANAL. “’e have heretofore rather favored the proposed commotionwith the Georgian Bay via Ottawa ; but, rflcr hearing what Mr. Capt-col, who recently passed through Mon- treal, has to say about the Toronto route, we are inclined to think _ it doubtful which would best. We doubt not,however,thut both: are wanted. and that there would be abundâ€" ance of business for both, if they proved, as they must- provc,the cheapest routes between the great West and Europe. The advantages of the Toronto route are as follows :â€" 1. It is very short, only 100 miles from lake to lake, and probably ultimately con- sidoiabiy shorter, although the short r lute would be dearer than the long,r one which takes in 2-1 miles of Luke Simeon. 2. It can be made wide and deep enough to pass vessels carrying large cargoes of grain, which, when they reach Lake 011- turio, are in the most favorable position to he directed to Rochester, Oswego, Ogdens' burg, Mantrcal, or Quebec; or, in other words. thus have the choice of all important stoppingr points. 3. This canal is to be made wholly by private enterprise, and without any govern- ment money; but a large tract of Wild land on the north shores of Lakes Huron and Superior is to bcusked, to reimburse in part the company for their outlay. This; is after the fashion of the Illinois Central railroad, the l’acufic railroad, and other on- tcrprises in the States. The calcuration in these cases is that the road greatlv enhances the value of the public lands, and for this service it gets an equitable share of those lands. If the Georgian Bay Canal performs this great service. it will, of course, be en- titled to a. suitable recompense. 4. This canal will have on both sides of the heights of land, grout water power to lot, and will consequently originate manu- facturing enterprise. 5. The chief point claimed in favor of this canal, in.a Canadian point of view, is, that when large vessels come through it. they will naturally go on to Montreal and Quebec.â€"â€"as the natural and economical route.â€"-whence the cargoes will be trau- shipped into sea-going vessels for Europe. Should this expectation be realized, and it is not UtOpiun. the grain trade of the St. Lawrence would be increased almost iucnl- culubly. The difficulties in the way of this route are verv considerable, as is the amount of money required to overcome them ;-but they are inst a matter of calculation; and the able engineer who has made the survey es- timntcs the cost at forty millions of dollars, of which it is scid, capitalists in the states are willing to take half.

This cut. which will in some places be 184 feet deep. is the greatest engineering difficulty to be Overcome. After leaving ° Lake Simcoe, the canal soon strikes the Nottawasnga creek, which it descends to the bay of that name on Lake Huron.â€" Montreal Witness. anpel and Alsen by Prussia.
