Timsah, the modern name, is expressive of the same fact. It could not go farther, for at that time the Lower Bitter Lakes constituted the head of the Bay of Hiroth. Trajan new canal flowed along the same valley as Necho's canal, but probably on rather higher ground, as it began from the Nile, near Babylon, 40 miles higher up the river than the old canal, and reached the upper or actual Bitter Lakes, which are a few feet higher than Lake Timsah, and thence entered the Red Sea through flood-gates, which gave their name to the town of Clysma, near Suez.

All this the beds of the old canals, the land of Goshen, the district of Pithom, of Rameses, or Raamses (Exod. 11), of Hiroth, or Heroopolis at Ha-Hiroth, "the head of the bay, when the bay of Heroopolis extended, as it is sup. posed to have done in the time of the Exodus, to the Lower Bitter or Crocodile Lakes the French have appropriated to themselves Bubastis is now Zagazig; branch railroad unites it at Bena, or Benna, with the iron road from Alexandria to Cairo, whilst on the other side a "canal d'eau douce" flows from the same old point to the Crocodile Lake the headquarters of the company being at Tell-el-Kebir, or the Great Hill," close by Thoum, and in the very heart of the very "best of the land," in which Joseph was to make his father and brethren dwell" (Gen. xlvii. 6), and which is now, by one of the many singular changes which this precious oasis has undergone, the "Domaine de l'Ouady." The increase of the Israelitiea themselves during then-settlement here, as well as the multiplication of their cattle, attest the extraordinary fertility of the district.

Coming from the Desert, M. Berchere was struck, in the present day, with the beauty of the same spot It is everywhere green, enamelled with flowers, or covered with crops, watered with rivulets, and tall grasses and rushes on their borders, and dotted by villages, and encampments, and groves of palms. It is especially fertile in cotton. This fine property, of which the company has obtained a concession, "in order to be mistress of the whole course of the canal, which commences at Zagazig and is to terminate at Suez," is 25 kilometres (a kilometre is 1,000 French yards; hence two kilometres make a geographical mile) long, by two or three in width. Tell-el-Kebir, the head-quarters, is a large village, surrounded by gardens and groves of palms and orange trees, which screen its dilapidated mosque and ruinous houses.

There are also vineyards, mulberry plantations, olive groves, and pomegranates. Upon the slight eminence, which is so grandiosely designated as Tell-el-Kebir, is a mansion erected by the late Muhammad Ali, who so particularly affected the land of Goshen that he built two country-houses here. Abbas Pasha also had a seat at Tajlur. Be remembered iir. Keuy, ana Mciuois i beg to oner my temces to carry out the above, and shall i to him about a party named Brewer I 1 ncf 1 i i v.

Berchere is not a prophet after the stamp of Matthieu de la Drome, although he has the example of the past to uphold his gloomy prognostications. Was not Arsinoe the port of Egypt before Sebaste? According to Gibbon, 120 vessels annually sailed from this haven, called Arsinoites by Pliny, and Cleopatris by Strabo, to bring from Western India silk, precious stones, and aromatics. The site, now called Ardshemd, is an inland village.

Did not, according to some of our best commentators, the Gulf of Heroopolis embrace the Upper and Lower Bitter Lakes in the time of the Pharaohs And was it not over their shallows that, favoured by miraculous or fortunate circumstances, the Israelites made their escape from the less fortunate pursuing host? How many successive attempts at canalisation of the Isthmus of Suez under the Pharaohs, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Ptolemys, the Romans, and the Saracens have succumbed before the same insidious and persistent enemy We do not mean to say that modern science might not triumph over such difficulties, or that, not a ditch, but a bond fide ship canal, might not be protected by iron caissons after the style in which the Thames is embanked, but at what cost, and how would the" outlay be repaid The island of Karputhis and the tower of Genii, or Ge- rLaX. 116 titerwa.ru uearu kiiiu dichw a raif the line of the imaginary maritime canal, between the English hotel, which i3 situated at the southern extremity of the town and the Arabian coast, to a distance of nigh four English miles, in order to bring the said canal into communication with the outer roads.

The number of candidates examined at Manchester in June last was larger than any previous examination, bting second only to that of London, which has hitherto maintained a decided fire-eminence in that respect. The total number actually examined was 212, one senior and rive junior candidates who had sent in their names having absented themselves when the examination commenced, or beins; prevented by illness from completing it. Of these 48 were seniors and 164 juniors, being an increase of 65 over and of 55 over 1864.

But, although there has been a large increase in the number examined, there has not been a proportionate increase in the number who have passed. Last year, out of 147 who were examined, 111 passed this year, out of 212 examined, 137 have passed, being a reduction of from 75 to 63 per cent. The returns of the last two or three years show in a striking manner the improvement that has taken place in the quality of the work done.

The last part of the lake between Kas-el-Aish and El Kantarah is dry in summer. This maritime rigole," or "gutter" the word is M. Berchere which is kept open by drags, is 15 yards wide and two yards deep, and a few houses have been built on Ras-el-Aish for the woikmen employed to keep it open, for a distance of over twenty geographical miles. The station at El Kantarah-el-Khazneh, or "the bridge of the treasure," is near Lake Ballah, which constitutes the southerly prolongation of Lake Menzaleh, on a monticule amid sanely downs, and it boasts of a street with two rows of houses, magazines, an hospital, stables, enclosures for cattle, and a well with the usual sakiyah, or water-wheel, and trouch for waterine camels, horses, and oxen.

It is not likely that Castle Eden Colliery and the station at Castle Eden, a sudden stoppage of the speed was observed, and on putting back to ascertain the cause, the engine-driver found the body of a man frightfully cut to pieces, his heael and limbs being nearly severed from his body. On the side of the embankment was lying another man fast asleep, near to where the mutilated remains of the poor fellow were scattered about. On his being aroused, he stated that his companion was a pitman, named John Dandy, a married man, with six children, residing at Trundon Grange. They had been drinking together at Castle Eden colliery, and "being the worse for liquor, left about twelve o'clock to walk home, a distance of about four miles, by the railway.

The want of capital to constitute it a shipping canal, or even a canal of transport, is at once fatal to its existence nor can any amount of machinery take the place of the abolished corvees of thousands of men to keep open a rigole," as M. Berchere persists in calling it, which is in great part carried through the mud and water of Lakes Menzaleh, Ballah, Timsah, and the Upper Bitter Lakes.

But it is different with regard to the fresh water canal, which is merely the reopening of a canal that has existed from all times, its extent varying according to the physical changes that have taken place with the lapse of time and the comparative distribution of land and water, as we have previously explained. Now it is asserted that two months had not elapsed after the arrival of fresh water at Suez, than purchasers presented themselves who offered a franc for every square French yard of land bordering the canal. This, in the immediate neighbourhood of a rising and thriving settlement, is not to be wondered at. The land in such a situation would indemnify the purchaser, even if used as a garden for water-melons how much more so ii built u'lKMnmailnikk. i is also a little port at El Kantarah with huts and tents to Crocodiles.

A Useful Career. The late cabin boy of the ship Suthine, of Liverpool, adopting the motto of Excelsior," began his first series of a course of gratuitous readings to the working classes of Manchester, only a week ago at the Polygon of the Longsight Works, to the workmen of the London and North-Western Railway, and baa since given entertainments of the kind in the workshops and localities of this district. The boy is not employed by any temperance society, but by his own efforts is disposed to carry on those public readings until he has gone the rounds of all the large factories, homes, lecture-halls, and institutions in the district. The readings for the large workshops are given during meal times.

On Friday he read to the division of police in the parade-room, Cavendish-street, and was well received. Manchester City News. Deafness. We mentioned a few months ago Dr. TurnbulTs extraordinary success in curing deafness and we now have a confirmation of that fact from the UOOK tk.
