"T"" " LAI 4 - . , f • A •• • ' wow ROYAL HIBERNIAN GENERAL RAIL-ROAD COMPANY. n N the 12th of January, 1825, a MEETING, emu posed of MERCH ANTS and BANKERS, was held at the Otn Limon Taverns, for the purpose of forming a COIIPANY under the above Title. A Committee was appointed for the pur poses of soliciting the patronage of an Illustrious Personage, of oseertaining the sentiments of the great Landed Proprietors of Ire land, and of collecting information respecting the inland carrying trade of that country, suffic,iently accurate to enable the Subscribers to estimate the probable return upon the Capital invested.. The object was to form, under Royal Patronage, and with the concurrence of Landed Proprietors and the guidance of leading and experienced Capitalists, an association which should combine indi vidual remuneration with national advantage. In furtherance of this design, letters have been addressed, and are in progress of being addressed, to the principal Lauded Proprietors and Chambers of Commerce in Ireland, and in the vast majority of instances the an swers have been most favourable. Already the list of the " Royal Hib ern i a n General Rail Eoad Company," very far exceeds that of any similar Institution which has been offered to the Public. On the 46th of January,lB2s, a Meeting (whether consisting of )lercbants and Bankers is not aimed) was held at the Oty of London Tavern, and a Company for carrying into effect this west important and extensive object, was instantaneously established. As this Company has assumed a title nearly identical with that of the " Royal Hibernia{ General Rail-Road Company ;" as more than one of the Noblemen whose names appear on the list of the secondary Company, had exprested their approbation of, or given their authority, to be placed upon the " Royal Hibernian General Rail-Road Company," it is concluded, not that any manoeuvre has been practised, but that, from a similarity of names, a misconcep tion has arisen. Owing to this misconception, very distinguished names connected with Ireland, have been connected with others which cannot. by possibility, command the co-operation of the leading Capitalists, whose sanction is necessary, in a commercial point of view, to insure the public confidence. It is therefore revested, that those Noble men and Gentlemen who may be desirous of supporting the original Association, entitled " The Royal Hibernian General Rail- Road Company," will be pleased to address to the Old Lon don Tavern, lashopsgate.street. No communication addressed either to the Committee, or to any individual thereof, will ever be made public without special permission having been required and obtained. Banters, Messrs. Rogers and Co. Clement's-lane. Solicitors, Messrs. Freshfield, Kaye, and Freshfield, New Bank-buildings; and Wm. Tooke, Esq. Gray's-Inn. THE EVENING STAR. I 40N DON. SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1825.

The United Provinces of Central America, forming a part of the immense " kingdom" of Mexico, and com. prising Chiapa, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, San Salvador,Guatimala, and Quesaltenango,have published a wise and useful decree for encouraging the influx of foreign settlers, the best material of power and pros perity in a free and half-peopled state. The geogra phical situation of these count: ies, a great portion of the coast of Which is washed by both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, offers facilities to trade, and consequent tempta tions to industry and enterprise, which required only the prudent measure now resorted to by the Govern ment of the Republic to bring into immediate action. As the decree contains no less than twenty-eight sepa rate clauses, many of them embracing a considerable variety of details for the arrangement and regulation of the rights of emigrants, our space will not admit of in serting more than an abstract of one or two among the principal provisions of the law. It is open to every foreigner to exercise any business he may think fit, mining included; to have his name enrolled by the local authorities as a denizen of the Re public—after a given period to become a citizen—to and , the meantime any uncultivated igreement with the Magistrates fur 'hick township must contain couples at least, with a capacity accession of others.

' • By accounts from Mocha of a late date we learn, that a second expedition against the refractory Arabs, under the command of a Turkish Chief, bad left Judda in three divisions, the main body consisting of three thousand Arabs. Two Englishmen accompanied the legion, the one holding the rank of Captain, and the other acting as servant to the Commandant. These troops are reckoned as an undisciplined rabble, and while at Judda had been the cause of three or four murders nightly. ARABY ALLENBY, formerly the English Agent at Judda, had died. The interior be- 1 tween Mocha and Selma " still continued blockaded. The city of Zabid had for the two preceding months of May and June been in the hands of the garrison, who had mutinied for pay. Their exactions had been so great that the place was nearly deserted, the merchants having left their goods in the Custom-house at the mercy of the soldiery; and that part of Yemen under the authority of the Imaum was daily hastening to ruin. It was expected that it would take some years . to restore the lost trade and confidence of the popula tion, who had fallen a prey to the ravages of the Ku bites under Don Hoossaitt and Dun MAROMET. Accounts have been received from Macao, date.] the beginning of June. They announce the arrival of the brig Temerario, from Lisbon, with dispatthes for the late Governor Ozonis, who was incarcerated by the Constitutionalists of Macao, and to ARNIAGA, Member of the New Government, now at Macao, which stated that the KING had re-established the ancient. Govern ment, and ordered that affairs should be restored at Macao, and that all former animosities should be for gotten. The prisoners were likewise ordered to be set at liberty, if they were imprisoned for political offences, and they had accordingly been released on receipt of the dispatches. The French Papers of 'Wednesday, and the Etoik of Thursday, have reached us : they contain some intelli gence from Greece, which we have given in a piece ding column. The approaching discussion of the in demnity to the emigrants for their confiscated estates, occupies public attention almost exclusively. The esti mated a milliard of francs, proposed by the Minister,, will give little satisfaction. It is even suggested, that after the payment of costs to attornies and other agents employed, and who already offer and advertise their ser vices, little or nothing will remain for the claimants. —As to the claims, they are said to be so large, that if all France were put up to sale, the " Associated Eu ropean banters would not be purchasers on the terms of satisf)ing the claimants." There are, at the same time, some suggestions for reducing the number. One is rather curious—it is, that all those emigrants who, having returned to France, were enriched with pensions or estates by NAP.JLEON, should be excluded. Letters from Singapore, dated September 13, 1814 state that the Thames and Marquis of Huntley were obliged to come in there with a tremendous sick list : the drought in Java had been the same as in most other parts of India, and the consequence was, that the vessels that watered last at Anjier got the green stag nant muddy stuff, which brought on severe bowel complaints. They and some of the other ships were de tained at Singapore some days, before they could get as much water as would carry them up the China seas. The Camden sailed a few days before, and the Harris and Melville were then in the Roads. An aqueduct was forming, that would give sufficient water to, any sized Reet. The last accounts from Bombay mention that they had not had rain for a great length of time, and they were fearful of severe sickness in consequence. _ ~ GRAND ENTERTAINMENT 7'RE MAN DIONSOMiIt, TO THE DUE OF TORt. , Yesterday, a grand entertainment was given by the Lord Mayor, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York. Preparations were made for the occasion to the full ex tent of all forther civic magnificence; the front of the Mansion-house was illuminated withgar, , rior of the house was lighted up with great splendour. The Venetian parlour was laid cut for the dinner, and richly decorated. The display of plate was extremely gorgeous. The floor of the grand avenue, leading to the Egyptian Hall, was prepared for dancing, and the arms of his Royal:Highness and the Lord Mayor were- • chalked upon the floor, with various devices. Ever greens were tastefully disposed round the pillars ; and the letters ".G.

Mr. Secretary Canning was prevented from coming, by an -en garment of an important nature. Lord Bathurst was absent ots account of indisposition. Tie Lady Mayoress and other Ladies were present at the dinner& At about half-past nine o'clock the cloth was drawn, and the health of the King was drank with the usual honours. The band played " Gan save the King." The LORD MAYOR then rose, and in a forcible man ner expressed his high sense of the honour which he had that day received in the attendance ot his Royal Guest, • who was at all times ready to testily the respect which he had for the citizens of London, by that which he gave to their Chief Magistrate. His Lordship was sure the company would join with him in drinking the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of York— (Applause.) The health of his Royal Highness was then drank, with three times three. The Duke of YORK, in returning thanks, warmly complimented the Lord Mayor, and expressed his con viction that no one could be better qualified, from his great respectability, zeal, and ability, to fill the office which he now sustained. The Duke of Clarence, and the remainder of the Royal Family, was next drank.—This was succeeded by the Army And Navy. The LORD MAYOR then rose and s.iid, it gave hire peculiar pleasure to propose the health ot the gr eat Law Officer with whose presence they were that evening ho houred. That distinguished individual enteted into office nearly twenty years since, at the period when the tonntry was involved in that dreadful war on which its prosperity, if not its existence, depended. He formed one of the Administration into whose hands devolved the lash of conducting the eventful contest. His Lordship expressed his opinion that the Lend Chan cellor and his colleagues merited the thanks of the country at large, and of posterity, for the manner in which they had executed their great duties, and brought us to the present state of peace and prosperity. His Lordship then alluded to the manner in which his no ble guest had performed his extensive and laborious judicial duties, and concluded by proposing that the health of the Lord Chancellor should be drank with three times three, The toast was drank with much enthusiasm. The LORD CHANCZLICon returned thanks, but in so low a tone that we were unable to collect the purport of what he said, further than that he could claim no merit beyond that of having endeavoured throughout to do his duty as an honest man, and in that course he hoped he had succeeded, He expressed also the great pride he felt in observing the prosperity of the country, and his conviction that tt was only prosperous because it was free. The LORD MAYO/A then proposed the health of Lord Hairowby and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers. In doing so, he eulogised their great talents, and spoke of the able manner in which they had conducted the con test which had terminated so gloriously and so advan‘. tageously for this country. The health of his Majesty's Ministers was then drank, with Wee times three. The Earl of HARROWIIT returned thanki. The health of the Lord Mayor was proposed by the Duke of Year, and drank with three cheers. His Lordship returned thanks in a s p eech of some kngth, which was warmly applauded. The LORD Cnawcatana, in a very gallant speech, proposed the health of the Lady Mayoress. The toast was drank in a highly complimentary punnet. The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of the Duke of Wellington, in a speech in which he took a review of the great honours that had been won by his Grace to his country, throughout the Peninsular war, and finally of the beneficial coasequences of his last great victory. The tout was drank with three times three. The Duke, in a vety few words, expressed his sense of thellith honour conferred upon him. The health. of Lord Shaftesbury, the Bishops of London and Llandaff, of Lord Stowel, Lord Gifford, of Chief Baron Alexander, and the Judges , the Speaker of the Home of Commons, Sir William Curtis and the Aldermen of the City of London, the Recorder, and the Sheriffs, followed. At a little before eleven o'clock, the dinner party broke up. By this time the company invited to the ball, consisting of more than three hundred and fifty persons of the,most respectable families in the City bad arrived. They were received in a suite of rooms which were thrown open for the purpose. At a little after eleven, quadrille dancing was commenced and kept up until past one o'clock in-the morning, when the com pany sat down to a grand supper, and the festivity was maintained until a-very late hour. The Etoik affirms, that FERDINAND, King of Spain, is become a miracle of moderation and benevolence. All his efforts are directed to the " grand object of the general welfare." The fact is, that his Catholic Majesty can no longer proceed without some revenue, and, pre* paratory to the re-establishment of his credit, with the view to negociate a loan, he is obliged to adopt some sound•and rational principle of government.

The number that have passed the Academy, and are waiting for Commissions, are between sixty and seventy. To give employment to the various Masters, the thirty above stated are distributed through three rooms. It being contemplated by his Grace the blaster-General to augment part of the Ordnance Corps, which will cause a great diminution in thohalf.pay list, the views of these young Gentlemen appear better than for years past.

We exceedingly regret to inform our Readers, that' a courier is arrived from Paris announcing the death of the Earl of Titans. His brother Cuanza, the present Earl, is now in Paris, and had an interview with his Lordship when his illness took a serious turn.—Morning Paper. A fete of the most splendid description was given at the Bath Theatre to the fashionable world of that City, on Wed nesday evening, in honour of his filsaLSTT'S.accession. Wednesday, a serious accident befel Lady MorrYn ; one of the children had shewn some slight symptoms of fever, and her Ladyship took some of the others to the house of Mr. PARRY ) a respectable farmer, residing about half a mile from Spring Bank ; when on her return, after passing through the gate from Mr. Paisley's, which is situated ou rather a steep bank', one of the wheels of the carriage slipped into the water-shoot, and the shock precipi tated the coachman from the box, who immediately ran to the heads of the horses, but was knocked down, and the wheels going over him, he was severely injured. The horses proceeded at a Mart trot, about 400 yards, when Lady Musrrn attempted to leap out of the carriage, and it is supposed that her clothes became entangled in the wheel, by which she was thrown doWh, and her head and face drradfully bruised ; sbe was taken up quite insensi bk and conveyed to Spring Bank. Several Medical Gentlemen ware sent for, and an express dispatched to Sir E. Mosnn, at Lei cester. The hones proceeded to the Barbourne turnpike, where the keeper, as usual, threw open the gate, with which the carriage eame in contact, and tbe splinter-har was broken. The footman leaped from the carriage at the first, and attempted to stop tbe hones, but was unsuccessful. We regret to state that her Lady ship is since dead. This being the Anniversary of his MaJarris Accr ion to the Throne, the same was ushered in by the ringing of the various peals of bells in the different Churches of the Metropolis, which, as usual upon these occasions, displayed their flags on the Church steeples.

In the event of the report proving favourable, early ap plication will be made tei Parliament for the incorporation of a Company. The. Public will have an opportunity of forming their own opinion of the merits of this undertaking, which, if carried Into execution, will, it is believed, give employment to upwards of 4,000 of the labouring dames, and increase the wealth and re sources of the country. An article from Geneva states a curious fact. M.

The whole of Mr. Grove's house, together with No. 41, of the same. street, were entirely destroyed ; two other houses were much damaged; and considerable feat► at one time were entertained for the safety of several houses in Piccadilly, which, however, was pre vented, by a good supply of water from the engines in I that street. Mis. Groves was insured, but we understand the inhabitants of No. 41, were not. The firemen were very active and the fire was got under in about two hours. _Another fire broke out at • a cotton-manufactory, Stangate-street, Lambeth, last night, about eleven, o'clock, which destroyed.the whole building.
