A Great European Canal.

The Corinth Canal has not been often mentioned in the European papers and Bourses since its opening. It k oks as if the Hellenic Company was not satisfied with the receipts from the tolls of its waterway. But this would •be a wrong view of the enterprise, for it could not be expected that the merchant marine wou.d suddenly change its habits and use the Corinth Canal. The principal object to be desired in an undertaking of that kind has-been gained It was to prove that this new waterway was safe and well built This has just been demonstrated by the successful passage through it of an Italian man-of-war of great draught, coming from Trieste, bound for the Levant.
