As already stated, the lowest point in the summit ridrre between Lakes Ontario and Huron is 670 Hz. above the level ot’ the former, and 330 ft. above that of the letter, or 200 ft. above the intermediate lfilfl’. Simcoe. It would he manifestly desira‘ le to make the latter the source of supply in the ordinary manner of Eruviation for the whole length of the canal. By doing“r this. too, a continuous summit level of nearly 48 miles out ofthe whole length of 96 miles would involve a cutting; a, miles long and 198 ft. deep at the deepest point, hut the over-age depth of this would be only 80 ft. This would extend {mm the 22nd to the 330th mile from Toronto. However our ’engineers mav have resorted, before now, .to heroic‘treutment, we are not sure that ghey would recommend a work like thisâ€"~â€" at any rate unless the ground had been thoroughly bored and found to be favorable at every point.

It is by Mr. Caprenl’s indomi- ~table energy and presevemnce this project has been brought to its present smze. ‘r n ___~ .. wvun-uu N Am picaeuu filitie. Mr. Sykes's plans are'fora canal 100 ft. in width and 13 ft. in depth: butit is possi- ble that in the execution of the work these dimensions would be somewhat exceeded. We believe, however, that, 15 ft. is the limit of the permissible draught of vessels navi- gating the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario. The locks, of which forty-two will be re quiredâ€"viz., thirty-one south of Lake Simcoe and eleven to the northâ€"are nlnn- ned of the following dimensions. viz” 2501't. long, 36 Ft. wide, and with 13 ft. of water upon their cills. The average lift of these Jocks would be 15 ft. W , '7 ~« "r I halfâ€"equal to a reduction in the price of wheat of 5s 8d. per quarter. The line of the proposed canal was surveyed if) 1856 by Mr. Tul:y of Toronto, who reported upon' the scheme in conmderable detail. It has been more recently surveyed by Mr. Willinn. Sykes, ofthe same place, who. with Mr. I”. Welland Canal, from La‘e Erie to Lake Ontario, only vessels of small size can pass; but by the proposed canal, and with en- largements to be trade in the loclcs of the St. Lawrence canals, vessels of 1200 trms could sail or steam direct between London or Liverpool and Chicago. The lowest, freight for grain between Chicago and Liverpool is now 1s. 5d. per bushel. or, say. 2.£ 138. per ton ; whereas by the proposed canal. and in muvh larger ships, the freight would, it is estimated, be lessened by one [I ’the others, .ehs‘Hgnafirfac‘offiaké "Fix; c337 and the‘NOt‘tawasagu into Georgian Bay, the latter an extensive indentation of Lake Enron. The least ‘elemtion of‘ the country between the two lakes is 670 ft. above On- tario, and 330 ft. above Huron. On the line of this isthmus is Lake Simone. a sheet of water 560 square miles in area, and as with: as the narrowest part oflh'e’ Straits of' Dover. This lake is 470 ft. above Ontario, and 130 ft. above Huron, and it drains into the latter. The propose-fl ship canal will follow the valley 0F the three rivers already named, and will be fed at its summit level by the practically inexhaustible waters of Lake Simcoe, and nearly twenty five miles of the length ofthis lake will be utilised :13 a part of the navigable route. By means“ of the canal, 428 miles oflhe present. dis- ‘ tanee by water from Chicago to Quebec and Liverpool will be saved7 the distance froml Chicago to Liverpool being reduced from i 4[66 miles to 3738 miles, and f om Chicago l to Quebec from 1664 miles to 1236 miles.

The city of Chicago, now numbeflnl about 250,000 inhabitants, although nearly 1000 miles inland from the Atlantic, and at an elevation of 585 ft, above its surface, is nevertheless one of the great shipping ports of America, and it is said upon the authori- ty of statistics which there is no rtason to doubt, that. it exports more grain,tnore sawn timber, and more salted meat. than any other port in the world. Vessels of model" ate tonnage have already sailed direct from Chicago to Liverpool, and it is hoped to one day make the trade between the 1va ports as regular at least as between Hull and St. Petersburg. The astonishing growth of the commerce of Chicago has been very lately brought afresh to public notice in this country by Captain Tyler's and Mrt C. W. Ehorall’s report. upon the Grand Trunk Railway. The, export commodities, not only of Chicago, but of other large and ra- pidly growing commercial town in the North Western States of America, are sent eastward either by rail or through the great chain of lakes, Michigan. Huron, St. Clair, Erie and Ontario, the greatest, lake of all, Superior, an American Mediterranean, being further to the north, ani of? the route. From Chicago to New York. by way of the lakes, the Erie canal, and the river Hudson is l615 miles, although by rail it is but 955 miles. From Chicago to Quebec. by water communication, is 1664 miles, and Quebec is 478 mil: 5 nearer Liverpool than New York, the respective distances being 2502 miles and 2950 miles. In sailing or steam-1 ing from Chicago to Quebec, hetvever, a great detour of more than 500 miles mustt be made around the extensive peninsula which forms the south-western portion ofl Canada, a peninsula bounded by Lakes Huron and St Clair, the river Detroit, and Lakes Erie and Ontario. Lakes Micltazan, , Huron, St. Clair, and Eric are all upon the I same ie"el, viz., 574 ft. above the Atlantic; l but trom Erie to Ontario there is a fall of] 340 ft. in the River Niagara, one~half of this fall being at the cataract of' that name. Vessels descend from Lake, Erie to Lake Ontario through the Welland canal, in Ca- nadian territory, to the west of, and nearly . parallel with, the River Niagara. l From the Engineering Journal, of Lon- don, Eng. Jam. 10, 1868. The proposed ship-canal in Western Canada, across the isthmus which separates Lake Ontario and the Georgian Bay, will. when completed. rank mnonar the most ini- portant engineering works yet undortalren. It possesses more than ordinary interest at the present time, inasmuch as Mr. Hawk- shaw and Mr. Rendel, who, we need hardly say, are amongr the most eminent members of our profession, have examined the plan of the work, and reported favorably. al- though in general terms. upon them. Pend- ing the negotiations with the Canadian Government for a grant often million acres or 15,625 square miles, of land in aid at the undertaking, it is being examined also with especial interest by Capitalists, engineers, and contractors in England.

LATEST FROM EUROPE. MISCELLEANEOUS. SCHOOL LECTURE â€"Mr McCalIum, Local Superintendenfi of Schools for the Township of'Vauglmn, delivered an m- teresling lecture in the School House here. on Monday evening last, to a small but appreciative audience. The selections by the Band were well chosen and rendered with remarkable accuracy and unison. At about; half- past ten the entertainment concluded, and the audience quietly dispersed. The entertainment consisted of songs, choruses and reeitatims, intorspers ed with selections by the Brass and String Bands. The songs, both comic and sentimental, were Well re- ceived. and frequently encored. Penny’s "’ Dark Girl dressed dressed in Blue ’ came in for a good share of applause, as did also his “ Slaver ” “ The Cove vot sings” received a hearty encore for his “ Whiskers,” and caused a good deal of merrm‘ient. “Peter Gray” was well executed, lo the huge delight of the lovers of tragedy, although few tears were shed over the misfortunes and sad untimely death of the unfortunate individual. “ 'l‘he naughty, naughty Girls" assisted the “ Naughty, naughty Boys,’ in giving Sutton his Well-earned; meed of praise; and the ballads of: Cowan and Savage were not behind the rest, either in execution or appreciation. Two reeitations by Ness, a native of the “ land 0‘ cakes," were given in good style, and were all tlie more attractive,, from havmg been delivered in “ guidl braid Scotch." According to announcement, at Con- czrt was given in the School House at Thornlnll, by the Patterson Brass Band, on Monday evening last.
