A CORRESPONDENT from Panama writes : —
Ever since the cutting of the new Canal was commenced the effect has been most marked on the inhabitants of this country. From habits of great apathy, they seem to have acquired much of the enterprise of the illustrious engineer. Old mines have been reopened, and worked with more or less success, and it is confidently expected that the cutting will disclose new and very rich ones. Another industry, the pearl fishery, has been most energetically pushed, and with great success. A monster pearl was found the other day, which rivals in size most of the historic ones. It is named the " Lesseps," and takes its place amongst the largest known to the world. I believe it has been sent to London, to Benson's, the jeweller. Trade has received a wonderful impetus, and the country owes much to the enterprising Frenchman.

In the window of Mr. J. W. Benson, Ludgate Hill — a window by the way which is always an interesting study, pass it when you may — one of the most attractive exhibits is a "violet" lace brooch with diamond center. This is a natural sized Neapolitan violet, enameled in natural colors, in pure gold. There is not anything particularly new in a floral design for a brooch; but this Neapolitan violet is certainly the best flower design I have seen utilized in that way. If there is not novelty in the idea, Mr. Benson has introduced a considerable amount of originality in its treatment. This pretty brooch looks what it is, and is what it looks, good.
