This Company has obtained a grant from the Government of the Federal States of Central America of 15,000,000 acres of I Virgin Lands in that country, which lies between the 15th and lath degrees of North latitude and 88 and 92 degrees West longitude. The Grant incl u d es the magnificent sea-port of Santo Tomas and several navigable rivers; the most important of which are the Polochic, the Matagua, and the'. I.lsumasinta, of which the Company has the exclusive right of steam navigation. The first settlement is called Abbottsville, and is situated 'bout 100 miles up the river Polochic. The climate is good led genial, and the country presents an alternation of mountain and plain, affording a choice of temperature. It abounds in minerals, many of which are of the most pre cious description; and, by the law of the Federal States, any one denouncing a mine becomes the proprietor thereof. The soil is rich to a degree unknown in Europe, and pro duces, amongst other th in gs, mahogany, dyewood, Santa Maria Wood, and many ethers of great value ; indigo, cochi neal, sarsaparilla, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, cotton, sugar, rice, vanilla, Indian corn, balsams, gums, and drugs ; likewise Wheat, barley, pulse, and all culinary vegetables. Horned cattle, horses, mules, sheep, poultry, game. and fish are abund ant and eheap ; and fruits in great variety and plenty. The terms of the Grant secure to the settlers the right of governing themselves by the election, from among their- own number, of Municipal Bodies. Trial by Jury and religious to leration are likewise secured to them. They are authorized to tmbody themselves as a militia for self-defence, and to have a P olka under the orders of their own Magistrates for do.neitie protection. They are not subject to any taxes or contributions, except such as shall be established by themselves. There are no Game or Tithe Laws, nor any burdensome en actments whatev er .

SOLOMONS are the most powerful Instru ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construction, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa cility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af ford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distress rig ail ment of Deafness. Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of tho eye, so as to render vision most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense of coolneseand pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom mendation of being free from the pernicious attributes of common glasses.

It has been esti mated that it takes in round numbers nine millions ster ling to make the fixed quarterly payments, to meet which, some six weeks before the time of payment, the Bank of England begins to receive moneys on account, and which must either be idle in their coffers or must, as they now do, be let out at interest to those who can pledge stock or other securities, to be redeemed about the middle of the month, after the dividends are payable ; thus allowing the Bank of England to make use of public moneys for their private advantage, and for which they do not seam to give any equivalent whatever. Would it not be much more to the public advantage that the various payments should be made monthly instead of quarterly, so that an accumulation of two to three millions would be equivalent to, and do all the work of, from six to nine millions which are required under the present system. It may be said, why disturb a system that is thought to work well, and try a new one ? I say the pre sent is not a system ; but is the result of accident, pro duced by the gradual extension of the debt, and the great, unnecessary, and oppressive increase of all other fixed Go vernment payments. The dividends payable in January should be spread over the months of February and March, thus— A. B. has 10,6931. Three per Cents.—January £3,000 February March 3,693 £10,693 or, of course, in any other proportions that she parties in terested may desire. The division should be so made throughout the year that the first and second months of the quarter should always be for even sums. Such an ar rangement could be easily made ; it would very much simplify :be entries in the Bank books, and facilitate the calculations for interest, so that the various Stocks would not require to be kept but for a few days instead of the long time, as at present. Could not the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. be option ally reduced to Three per Cent., by something like the following arrangement ?—Let the dividends be payable monthly at the Exchequer, and divided as above. To all such holders as would consent to take Three per Cent., give debentures, renewable every 8, 5, or 7 years, with coupons attached, which should be personally transferrable ; this would create a circulating medium for large amounts, of the very best character, and being transferrable without any expense, would be equivalent to the difference of in terest—a hundred millions, or perhaps the whole would be so taken, which, besides the great saving of interest and Bank management, would entirely do away with the neces sity and uncertainty of Exchequer Bills, which could then be funded. The various payments that are now made of navy and army half-pay and pensions, customs and excise salaries, &c., &c., may all be divided on the same principle, so that some should be made quarterly in ono month and some in another, which would bring the whole to as nearly equal monthly payments as would be either convenient or desirable. The monied interest would not, perhaps, like such an arrangement as the above, the Stock jobbers and brokers would exclaim against it, but these are parties who are least worthy of consideration. The emergency of the times, and the financial situation of the country, demand measures of the greatest energy and determination. It is fully hoped and believed that you will bo found equal to the occasion, and it is not because suggestions arc novel that they should be rejected. Who, in Sir F. Freeling's time, ever dreamt that the Post-office required or was capable of improvement? The monopoly of the East India Company was, by a great many, thought to be perfection ; they are both passed away; and if the sketch which I address to you, or any other, should conduce to monthly instead of quarterly pay ments, it would be of the greatest advantage to the country.

Northampton, February 21st, 1840. Sir,—ln consequence of a requisition numerously signed, a meeting was this day held at the GUildhall, Thos. Sharpe Esq. Mayor, in the Chair, to consider the propriety of memorializing the Queen on behalf of Frost, Williams, and Jones. The memorial was moved by a working-man of the name of Parry, in a very ex cellent speech, and seconded by a working-man named R o bi n s. The Tories mustered in great nnmbers, bringing their paid menials to vote against the memorial An amendment was proposed by T. Hawes, seconded by Mr. Dodd. The meeting was most numerously at tended, the hall being literally crammed. The memorial to the Queen was agreed to by the majority of the meeting, and after a vote of thanks to the Mayor the meeting quietly dispersed. T. C. P.S.—The memorial lies at the Guildhall for sig natures. RACES TO COME. Judging from the Index of the Racing Calendar (from which the subjoined intelligence is derived), good sport may be anticipated this year : The Craven Meeting presents a prospect of a good week's sport. The Column boasts 30 subscribers : the Port is bad, as there are but seven ; and then there arc ten matches, most of which will probably come off. The entry for the 2,000 Guineas is strong. The field in the 1,000 Guineas •is capital : twenty of the mares are also in the Oaks. Tho Newmarket Stakes, with a good entry, is yet generally a poor race. A Suffolk Stakes is advertised for the Second Spring, to which there arc already fifteen subscribers. The free handicaps have produced two engagements. The entries for the two-year-old races where the course is half a mile are so small that, ere many years, we foretell such a course will cease to exist. The entries for 1841 present a slight falling off, but after that period a decided increase. The Derby and Oaks for next year look well—an increase of ten in the former entry, and of seventeen in the latter. The Oaks entry is the largest ever known. There are thirty-four names to the stakes, and twenty-two to the Wokingham at Ascot. The Eglinton Park Meeting fills four pages. The Champagne at Doncaster has twenty-seven sub. scribers, six more than last season; the St. Leger has four more. But the St. Leger of 1841 has 137, or twenty-five more than this ! The other stakes at Don caster are well filled. There aro already forty-eight sub scribers to the Gorhambury Stakes, with upwards of 300/. in public money to be added. A large produce stake is advertised for 1843, called the Grand Junction Stakes. To the Warwick Stakes 102 subscribers ; to the Cup 35. To the Goodwood Stakes everybody subscribes, already 118, and to the Cup 37 ; the Drawing Room and Racing Stakes arc also well filled ; the introduction of gentlemen riders is here rapidly gaining ground. Gentlemen can ride races no more than they can plough. Immense produce stakes occupy page after page and year after year until 1843. ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.—WiIt are re joiced to find that the Irish counties ar e prepa r ing to present Addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert, on the happy occa sion of their nuptials. The county of Meath assembled this Ti county of W e stmeath is to meet on Tu es d ay next. The requisition to the day.

The F:ith of Forth 14 now almost covered with English fishing smacks. Nearly 30 may be seen daily dredging oysters—some of whom have five or six dredges over their quarters. CtruRCIT-RATE.---At a muting of justices for Glendale Ward, held at Woeler on the 4th instant, the Churchwardens of the parish of Lowick summoned twa of the parishioners (Mr. Henderson and Mr. Jackson) for non payment of the rate lately levied by them. The defendants said that they disputed the legality of the rate, upon which the Magistrates decided that they had no further jurisdiction, but that the Churchwardens must go to the Ecclesiastical Court if they wished to enforce payment —Berwick ii'dveriiser. During the last fortnight a disease has been prevalent among the horses about Stourbridge, and which has baffled the skill of the veterinary surgeons of the town and neighbourhood. Many very valuable horses have died in con sequence. On Monday morning last, as the Union coach was proceeding to Edinburgh, it was unforturately over turned by one of the fore axles suddenly breaking, when about three miles from Newcastle, by which we regret to say Mr. Garnett, a commercial gentleman of Manchester, and Mr. John Weatherston, of this town, received some injury, the for mer having his arm, and the laster the small bone of his leg broken. No blame whatever is attached to either the guard or the coachman ; but it is supposed the accident occurred by the sudden jerk in passing over the Faw down Railway. We are glad to say that. Loth the gentlemen are fast recovering.—Nete castle Chronige. la t el A Rico B EGG AR.—An itinerating Frenchman,- who has been going about Birmin g ham begging, Na searched, and on his person were found 54 sovereigns ! (TUESDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 81. 17s. 10fd. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.7, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.64, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 6i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of Si. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 26f. 31%c., and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25f. 30c., it follows that gold is 0.6 per cent. dearer at Paris than in Jaondon. The course or exchange at New York on London is 108 k per cent., and the par of exch a n ge b e t ween E ng l an d and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.07 per cent. against England. By the usual official return published by the Customs, the exportation of the precious metals from the port of London : 0 foreign and colonial forts, for the week ending February 20, is as under :--Ounces, Silver coin, Rotterdam 2,500 Silver coin, Belgium Silver coin, British West Indies . 2,1162 POST.—There were no very extensive operations in the English Funds to-day, nor did the fluctuations in Con Bois exceed per cent. Loans on stock were not to be obtained at much, if lanything, under 5 per cent. per annu m, and this may now be regarded as the more current rate. The continuation from Account to Account is still per cent. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will, no doubt, consider the advance in the premium on the un funded debt a circumstance highly favourable to the execu tion of his financial schemes, whatever they may be. By many, however, the appearances of the market era looked upon as very fallacious, and the event as exceedingly questionable. Letters received in town to-day state that the Liverpool steamer is to undergo extensive 'iterations before she pro ceeds to sea again. An addition of seven feet to her bean) is, it seems, to be made; and it is now said that she will not be taken off the American line, as had been intended. HERALD.—By far the greater proportion of the bald ness that has been transacted in the public securities to day was the adjustment of speculative operations preparatory to the settlement of Consols, which is fixed to take place the day after to-morrow. Opinion is very much divided as to whether it will prove a bull or a bier account. The recent considerable supplies of Stock which have come to market, it is thought, have changed most materially the state of things. The Continuation has, however, returned to per cent., at which it remained up the termination of business this afternoon. To-morrow, the Options will bo declared, of which it is said there are considerable amounts open. Consols for Money and Account have fluctuated to-day only between 901 and 901. For the month of April Account, the last price this afternoon was 91 is 91i. A comparatively small amount of business was transacted in the keavy stocks to-day. Prices left off at a fraction lower than they opened in the morning. Exchequer Bills have advanced to 7 prem. East India Stock to 248 i, and Bank Stock to 178 i. SUN.—The rates for Bills of Exchange on the principal cities of the Continent were this afternoon the same as on last post day. Paris, 2M. 655. to 57ic. ; on Amsterdam, 12.2 to ; and on Hamburg, 13.9 to . The public Tea Sales closed this afternoon. Of 102,000 chests offered since they began, about 25,000 have been sold. Company's Congou for cash sold to-day at 2s. 10d. In Free Trade Teas, a good deal was done at the rates paid during the auctions. British Planta. tion Sugar was in brisk demand to-day at 6d. per cwt. advance, and other sorts were pretty brisk. Coffee was not so animated. The Funds closed heavily ; Consols at 90! for present transfer, and 91 to 91k for April. Exchequer Bills brought 4s. to 7s. premium this afternoon. Spanish Active Bonds touched 28k after the middle of the day, but Portuguese New Five per Cents. de dined, just before the termination of business in the Foreign Market, from 34k to 33/. Colombian Stock was heavy at 26k, but Mexican kept up at 291 to 29g. A good deal of life prevailed in the Share Market, and prices were all higher, as will be seen in reference to our list. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FIIOII THE EVENING PAPERS ON 111111111.11“. (From the Globe.) Lord Palmerston's reproof of Sir R. Peel's pompous puerilities, trtered in the debate on the Navy Esti mates on Friday evening, has brought the whole pack of Tory journalists, in full cry, upon his heels. That the Right Hon. Baronet winced under the infliction, and evidently wished himself any where but on the seat he occupied, and where he was compelled to remain under the lash he had provoked, was evident to all who witnessed his uneasiness ; that the occasion justified the severity, and that the public agree that it did so, is seen in the simultaneous efforts of the Oppo sition journals to console the sufferer, by, assailing with vulgar abuse the Noble Lord who administered the castigation. The Tories during the whole of the last Session, in which their disposition to damage the Go vernment was evinced in every way which the inge nuity of faction could devise, never ventured to assail its foreign policy. Nor would they now be loth to en gage in such an attack were there the least probability of an advantage being gained by the undertaking. (From the Standard.) The Irish Municipal Bill, although it has been the great subject of contention between the Houses bf Parliament for some years, excites little interest within the [louses—less out of doors. Last night, when the Bill came before the House of Commons in Com mittee, the greatest number of Members at any time in attendance did not rise to more than 315, less than one-third of the whole House. In such a state of the House, the Ministers and " the tail" neces sarily commanded a considerable majority, and the Conservative Members were of course defeated upon every proposition which they ventured to offer. g o little is gained by compromise. (From the Courier.) From the spirit displayed by the House of Coramons in the rejection of amendments in the Irish Corpora tion Bill, which are absolutely nece. v•iry to preserve the respectable inhabitants of the mun►cipalities from mob-government, there is little doubt that there the victory will be achieved by O'Connell and the Romish priesthood. It is, however, as ob served by Colonel s Verner, some consolation for the Committees whom tl,:s unnecessary measure will iir juriously affect, that when it has palmed through , the Commons it does not become the law of the land. The object, which is so obviously and palpably factious, will assuredly be defeated when it comes before the assembly on whom the correction of the sins and errors ( of the reformed Commons nesessarily devolves, and who have hitherto exercised the privilege with a discre tion and moderation that firmly attach the people to a form of Government, from which the proceedings of another body have latterly had a decided tendency to alienate their affections. Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, the Mar quis of Douro, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Lord Stanley, the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Lord Eliot, Sir Robert Inglis, Lord Sandon, Colonel Perceval, Lord Granville Somerset, Sir Henry Hardinge, and Sir William Rae, were among the distin guished Members of the Conservative party who were present at the Speaker's second Parliamentary dinner. The Lord Bishop of Durham left Curzon-street for Castle Auckland, to perform the marriage ceremony be tween his son, the Rev. Henry 3laltby, with Miss I3igge, daughter of Charles Bigge, Esq., the wealthy commoner of Northumberland. A grand ball was given at the Court of Brussels on Wednesday last, at which all the corps diplomalique, the Ministers, and principal Officers of State, besides a great nun', ber of foreign and Belgian nobility and personages of disb?,nctiudt, were present. The Queen of the Belgians wore an, 'extraordi nary profusion of diamonds, and the Duchess d'A• euberg was next to her Majesty for :he value and brilliancy r:f the precious stones that adorned her dress. The Princess . Victoria danced with the Baron de Bussiere, the Duke du r,assatio, the Count de Ribaucourt, the Count tie Beaufort, al , a the Viscount Santo Amaro. On Monday week the first s t one of a column in tended to commemorate the name &w it perpetuate the remem brance of the late Earl of CaWon, 'was laid by the Lord Pri- ' mate with the usual ceremoniesonie,s, The site sel ec t e d f or the monument is on elevated greunra, situated between the town of Caledon and Caledon House.

THE BLOODHOUNDS., --The following curioui paragraph appears as semi-official in the Washington Globe 1— " The Florida papers announce the arrival of Colonel Fitz patrick, from the Island of Cuba, with a pack of bleodhonnds, imported, as we understand, by the authorities of the territory. \i , e have ascertained that the war department is only ac quainted with the circumstance through public rumour, and knows nothing of the matter officially. It does not surprise us that the inhabitants of a country which has been so cruelly de solatel, and where every hearthstone is sprinkled with blood, should resort to any imaginary means to protect their families from the prowling and murderous savages.'
