Notes From Elsewhere

Before 1852 an active enterprising Irish gentleman, Dr. Cullen, had very meritoriously by his own efforts surveyed that part of the isthmus [of Darien], and he was of opinion that a canal might be cut there more easily than at any other part of the isthmus ... Dr. Cullen applied last autumn for for a renewed expedition, and both Governments were willing to grant the presence of a ship of war upon the coast, so far as was practicable, without interfering with their naval duties. Dr. Cullen then made an application, not unnatural in his position, for pecuniary assistance towards carrying out the project, but the Government did not feel that they were justified in acceding to that request.
