Great Canal Scheme.

Melbourne Argns- Brusseh contemplates turning it self into a seaport, and proposes to spend £2,000,000 sterling in construct ing a canal which will enable ships of 2,000 tons to moor under the shadow of the Cathedral of St Gudule. The French appetite for canals has not been destroyed by the Panama failure, in which two thousand millions of francs have been squandered, and it is pro posed to construct a deep-water from Paris to the Channel coast at Havre, making a port and the Seine an arm of the sea. A still bolder scheme is one for bisecting France itself by a ship canal which will ran from Bordeaux on the Atlantic, under the shadow of the Pyrenees to Narbonne, on the Mediterranean. This canal will be 325 miles long, and will unite two oceans and turn Spain and Portugal into an island. The commercial advantages of the canal are enormous. The French coasting trade -will no longer have to pass through the Straits of Gibraltar and circumnavigate Spain, whilst in case of war French fleets will no longer have to run the gauntlet of the guns of Gibraltar. France, in a word, would have a perfectly safe right-of way, always open, betwixt the English Channel and the Mediterranean. This great scheme is certain to be con structed within the next ten years, Greece has, of course, its tiny Corinth Canal, which shortens the voyage from Brindisi to Athens or Constantinople by an entire day ; and Italy is medi tating two great ship canals. One is to run from the west coast near Rome to the Adriatic Sea at Fano on the east coast, and is to be of a scale and depth sufficient to enable the heaviest Italian war-ships to pass from sea to sea. Poverty-smitten Italy proposes to expend £25,000,000 sterling orf this scheme, which, inter alia, by drain ing huge areas of soil, will add a new province to the Italian kingdom. The scheme is perhaps too big for a nation with empty pockets, but its political and commercial advantages would be enormous. Another Italian project is that of a ship canal 24 miles across the province of Cantanzaro, which will render the Straits of Messina use less, and save the eastern commerce of the world from traversing them or passing round Sicily. Sir £dward Watkin, M.P., proposes to bisect Ireland by a great sea canal which will give transatlantic steamers a direct route betwixt New York and Liverpool. The Nicaraguan Canal, since it has the pride and the purse of the United States behind it, is reasonably certain of being accom plished, and the United States Govern ment is contemplating a maritime passage betwixt Lake Erie and the deep navigable channel of the Hudson. This will turn Lake Erie itself into an arm of the Atlantic. Canada, too, is meditating great canal schemes j and, generally, it is clear that human science all over the world is seriously grappling with the problem of how to shorten sea-transit everywhere.
