At length progreas has been made in the case of Michael Gallle, whose deatn some monthe ago, tt fe suspected, was not the result of natural causes. The body of the deceased has been expected in the city for several days past, as an order for its disin- terment was given nearty a week since, but owing to mismanagement or other causes the work was not promptly completed, Mra. Galite, the widgy of deceased, at length called on Dr. Harris, of the Health Board, and volunteered to defray the ex- pensea of exhuming the remains and reinterriug them again, and this had the desired effect, as the body arrived at the Morgue shortly before twelve o'clock on Friday night. On receiving this information Coroner Schirmer decided to goon with the case, and proceeding to the Morgue empanelled s jury composed of the fol- Jowing named gentiemen:—S. W.

Coroner Scbirmer then related the circumstances attending the visit of Dr. Wedekind to the Corover's gilice on the 15th inst, at which time he made koown his suspicions against Mrs. Gaile concern- ing the death of her husband. In the absence of Ur, Wedekind (who is still in tue Tomos on the charge of blackmalling) Corouer Schirmer proposed reading to the jury the afidavit of Dr, Wedekind, taken pe- fore the Coroner, but Mr, Kintzing, counsel for Mra, Gallei, objected, as the prisoner was avsent. The jury, however, wisued to aear the evidence, aud it ‘was accordingly read by Dr. Cushman, Deputy Coro- ner, as follows:— DEPOSITION OF DR. WEDEKIND. August Wedekind, M.

The Suez Canal is to be opened this day. An enterprise at which the Pharaohs and the Ptoleinies, with other sovereigns of the intervening dynasties, labored at diferent periods aud with Various success throughout the centuries of remove antiquity, is now announced as virtualiy achieved. Not a little has been written of late Lo row doubts onthe permanent material and financial results of this great undertaking; Out in the midst of conflict- ing opinions, this much sees now fully ascertained, that a ship—possibiy the imperial yacht L’Aigie, With the Empress Eugéme on board—will this day paas through the Canal. even if 1 may be necessary to close immediately after tue feativi- ues, We Enguish have been charged with a groveil- ing worship of auccess—with 1ucapacity to judge of things by any other standard than their market yalue, or to be influenced by any other considera- tions than those of the most sordid gel{-interest, It 1s on this account that we are particularly anxious to do full justice to the cutting of the isthmus be- fore 1t becomes quite clear how the work will even- tually succeed. We will not allow it to be said thet the proof of the canal 1s in ite use alone. It isin itself a great achievement, whatever may come of it. Itvhas been alleged, not unnaturally, that’ M. de Lesseps’ work can be tarued to any practical pur- pose, it will be found that the expense will wholly or mainly fail upon Egypt; that the glory may be ascribed to France, but the benefit must needs be reaped, vy England. é . * “We must protest againsi any such conclu- sion being drawn in disparagement of M. de Leaseps’ undertaking. ‘The very facility with which we were drawa into error with respect to the material feast- bility of the work ought to make us Cautious in our estimate of its practical magnitude and of the pos- sible extent of ils econontical results, It cannot be denied that the originator of the scheme was mistaken 1n his caiculations. The £3,000,000 which were expected to cover the whole expense have bardly been found adequate to half the cost, and itis by no means unlikely that fresh supplies may be required before the end 1s really attained. But the success of such an undertaking as the Suez Canal should not be gauged by the common rules of Joint stock specuiations. It cannot depend upon the proportion between the capital originally in- vested and the dividends that may fall to the share- holders. Even if vhe £15,000,000 already spent in the works bad to ve looked upon as irrevocably absorbed, like mere drops of water, in the sand, {t is not likely that isappoiniment of the Company would cause the abandonment of the enterprise.

His achieve- ment 18 an object of common pride to all the peoule. bordermg on the Mediterranean. ‘There as been no hesitation as to any amount of sacrifice demanded, and there are no limits to the expectation of proportionate returns.

Who can say what new worlds of commercial activity aud invernational communication may spring up from this new direct water-way between Earope and Asia—from this short cul irom world's end to world’s end? It is chug that people reason at Varis, at Marseilles, at Genoa, Triest and Athens. The construction of the Suez Canal has been a work of faith throughout. if it can only be mace to bear the outlay of its dally expenses; if, by dint of digging and dredging and trenching and diking it can at ail be kept open, not only will it, in the opinion of its partisans, matter littie what becomes of the original capital, but it will be song before continental people wiil tire of throwing good money after bad, Tuey are determined that expense shall never stand in the way of success. It 1s, indeed, impossible to say what may not be done by unsnaken contidence and unwearicd endur- ance, and it 18 precisely to this courage and resoiu- tion, to tals “genius of obstinacy,” as it has been calied, exbibited oy M. de Lesseps and by his followers throughout thelr long trials, that we desire vo pay our tribute of sympathy and applause before we learn the actual results of the great experiment. It is not enough that an enterprise snould in itself be feasible; the man must come who dares to think so, and who has that tn tim that will make tt 80. Such a man, evidently, was and is M. de Lesseps, and it ts certainly now in England toat the vires of which he has shown himself so em nently possessed can fail to be segrotenly appre- ciated. We are aware that in Paris, In Kior- ence, and even in 5st, Petersburg, there is exul- tation at the notion that, by the opening of the Suez Canal, trade may be turned into new ciaunes, and a heavy blow dealt to the nation which made the best of the old ones.

Another branch extends from Flushing to Brook- dale, Yesterday was the openiag aay of the exten- sion line from College Point to Whitestone, The residents of the latter place turned out, despite the inclement weather, and formed a procession, in which even the little boys participated, headed by a brass band.
