FR:,3I THE HORNING PAPERS OF THliii DAY.

TlMES.—Communications continue to pour in upon
us on the subject of the speculation in tea, which, as it
is known to involve an immense amount of capital, a
great portion of which is perhaps drawn fi om the legiti-
mate purposes of trade, attracts attention in most quar-
ters, as likely to be the forerunner of casualties which,
though not-for the moment looked for, may not be far
off. That the view we expressed the other day is in a
fair way to be established—namely, that there will be an
abundant supply of teas—is evidenced by the arrivals of
ships from China with full cargoes. In St. Katharine's
Dock the following ships with the following quantities
have arrived since Monday:—The Eliza, with 12,569
packages; the ()thane, with 11,102 packages ; the Clif-
ford, with 7,550 packages; and the Charlotte, with 5,700
packages ; making a total of 36,921 packages.
A notice has been issued by Mr. Jaudon, as repre-
sentative of the " United States Bank," and agent for
the loan of 900,00 a, contracted at Paris in De-
cember, 1839. He declares that the Bank is unable to
provide for the reimbursement of the principal sum, due
in the present month, and requests a postponement of
the time of payment for one year, in consideration of an
additional deposit of 45,0001. in the Deber tures of the
Bank, purchased by the Bank, with Messrs. Rothschild.
The payment of thz: interest due on the 15th instant is
to take place as usual, and Coupons are to be given for
the two succeeding half-years, besides an additional
Coupon for 2 per cent. as a bonus for the renewal. As
uveral doubts had existed respecting the payment of the
principal and dividends of this loan, and recent events
had spread a panic among all who had anything to do
with the " United States Bank," this notice, as far at least
as the dividends are concerned, will be found acceptable.
POST.—A question is before the Committee of the
Stock Exchange relative to the failure of Mr. Richard
Cohen. An " official assignee" of the house was ap
pointed for the settlement of the affairs of Mr. Cohen,
but that gentleman stopped, it appears, from prudential
motives. He now chooses to pay the claims upon him
without the intervention of an assignee ; the object
being to avoid the claim of 14 per cent. exacted in such
cases. Mr. Cohen is in a condition to pay twenty
shilling in the pound, and his bearing' in the presence
of the Committee has therefore been such as leaves them
no choice how to proceed. There was, we find, quite a
scene in the Committee-room yesterday ; but the im-
mediate restoration of Mr. Cohen to his privileges as a
member of the house, without being mulcted, is pretty
certain.

HERALD.—A correspondent calls attention to the
slow progress, or apparently no progress at all, making
towards a settlement of the long outstanding debt and
arrears of interest due from the republic of Central
America, better known by its ancient denomination of Gua-
temala. The debt is of such small amount that it would
seem there should be the less difficulty in providing
the means for its liquidation. The loan under which
this debt was originally created was happily brought
to market so late in the famous bubble season of
1825-6 that before it could be fairly launched
and the whole, some 1,000,000 /sterling, saddled upon
an unfortunate public already gorged to repletion
with Spanish American bonds, mining and all other
sorts of scheme shares, the bubble burst, the scrip fell to
a discount and became unsaleable, and the stock unsold
was left on hand as valueless as so much waste paper.
Tho result was no less fortunate for Guatemala than to
the public here, as the republic having received so much
less than expected, has of course so much less to repay
and provide for. It may be observed that if the Commit-
tee have been unable to achieve any satisfactory arrange-
ment with the republic, or to put the affair into a train
of settlement for some date more or less distant, it would
be advisable, as tending to the removal of a disagreeable
state of suspense, to make an open communication to
the effect to the bond or scripholders interested, and
anxiously looking for the once promised arrangement.

last account-day. The continuation to-day until next
account was about 7-16ths, or 5 to 6 per cent. for short
periods.
The extreme range of the fluctuations in Spanish
