The original projectors had anticipated a yearly traffic of six niilHon tons; but provision must now be made for a double and even fourfold movement at no distant date. It is projjosed to treble the width of the present channel, so that steamers may pass each other without slacking speed, and also to prevent the whole traffic fi'om being blocked by the grounding of a single vessel, as so frequently hajjpens at present. England, which formerly opposed the opening of the canal, is the very power ...now most urgent in calling for its enlargement. But the results afford a ready explanation of this change of attitude.
