TOTAL COINAGE OF THE UNITED STATES MINT 1793 TO 1881. IN CLUSIVE (Continued).

This great ship canal, one hundred miles in length, connects Suez on the Red Sea with Port Saïd on the Mediterranean. It was commenced by a company, aided by large subscriptions of the governments of Egypt, France, and England, in 1858, and opened November 17, 1869. It is 72 feet wide at the bottom, about 300 feet at the surface, and 26 feet in depth, easily passing the largest vessels. The controlling interest in the canal was purchased for £4,000,000, in 1875, by the British government, which now holds it. The following table exhibits the prodigious increase of business on this great work :
