THE TABLET will be liberal, but not violent, in its
Politics, diligent in its Notices of 13ooks and Works of Art, and
strictly impartial in its Criticisms, aryl no opportunity will be
lost of enlisting among its contributors the ablest writers of the
day. Particular attention will be paid to the department of
Foreign Intelligence; and measures hive been taken for the
gradual organization of a most extensive and interestin,T Cor-
respondence from abroad. It is a peculiar recommendation of

from time to time, any statement of facts with regard to them-
selves and their doctrines which they may wish to promulgate,
or with which liberal and inquiring Protestants may desire to
become acquainted.

nearly the size of the Atlas.

This Company has obtained a grant from the Government of
the Federal States of Central America of 15,000,000 acres of
Virgin Lands in that country, which lies between the 15th and
and 19th degrees of North Latitude and 88 and 92 degrees West
Longitude.
The Grant includes the magnificent sea-port of Santo Tomas,
and several navigable rivers ; the most important of which aro
the Polochic, the Motagua, and the Usumasinta, of which the
Company has the exclusive right of steam navigation.
The first settlement is called Abbottsville, and is situated
about 100 miles up the river Polochic. The climate is good
and 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 produces,
amongst other things, mahogany, dyewood, Santa Maria wood,
and many others of great value; indigo, cochineal, 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 abundant and cheap ; 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
toleration, are likewise secured to them. They are authorised
to embody themselves as a militia for self-defence, and to hare
a police under the orders of their own Magistrates, for domestic
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
enactments whatever. They have, in fact, a country to them-
selves, to be regulated by their own municipal institutions.
The voyage occupies from six to eight weeks. At the
mouth of the river they will be met by the Company's steam-
er, and conveyed to the settlements, where they will receive
every attention from the Company's Superintendent, Mr.
Young Anderson, who es ill give them proper advice as to the
choice of location, and the first steps to be taken, and will
assist them in procuring labourers.
The ship St. Lawrence, Huggup master, has just been dis-
patched with a party consisting of the Company's Superintend-
ent (on his return to the settlements after a visit to this coun-
try), the Rev. Mr. Krause and family, a surveyor, a few pur-
chasers of lands, and a party of English and German mechanics,
with their families.

A Man and his Wife will be conveyed by the Company to
the settlement, provision on board, and put in possession of 40
acres of freehold land (with an indisputable title), for the mo-
derate sum of 201. ; or persons in a more elevated sphere can
purchase of the Company any quantity of land at ss. per um,
and may have a cabin passage for 251.
To purchasers of land, land orders will be issued, which w ill
entitle the holders, on the presentation of them by themselves,
or their agents, to the Company's Superintendent, to choice of
location, according to their numerical order ; and, having fixed
upon a site, the Company's Surveyor will forthwith run the
lines, free of charge to the settler.
These land orders will be transferable at the pleasure of the
holders; and a registry will be kept at the Company's Office in
London, and in the settlement, as well of original land orders
as of transfers thereof.

The expense of reaching the port of embarkation must be
borne by the emigrants.

and all other particulars, can be had upon application to the Se-
cretary, at No. 60, Moorgate.street, Bank, London ; or to the
