NOTICE Tas HA RE HOLDER&

THE FIRST DIVIDEND on the SHARES will
become payable on the 15th day of FIARVARY next, at the
(Mee of the Company, in conformity with the following Resolu-
tion, extracted from the Niinutes of the Court of Directors, the
13th of January, 1825.
" ResoLvan--That a Dividend, at the rate of Five Pounds per
cent. per annum, be now declared on the instalments paid on the
Shares of the Company—the same to be computed up to the 15th
day of February next, from the end of three months after the pay-
ment of the instalments (such period of three months having in
the outset been found necessary for the purpose of investment), the
Dividend to be paid on the said 15th day of February, at the Office
of the Company ; and that, in future, half yearly Dividends be de-
clared and made payable on the 15th day of August and the 15th
day of February."
This Company having been for some time establisked,it becomes
proper to make a statement of its progress. The Ant instalment
on the Shares, was paid by the Proprietors in Nay last, when the
Company proceeded to make investments pursuant to the objects
of its Institution. It was originally contemplated, that, from the
delays and difficulties necessarily attending the formation of the
Company, and finding fit investments, no dividend of profit could
take place till after the expirationef at least twelve months, but it
has been found that the Company are enabled to commence the
payment of a Dividend three months earlier than was originally
contemplated.

As the ben proof of the state of the Society, it is only necessary
to observe that the average rate of interest on the Amount of Capi-
tal hitherto invested, amounts to £5. 1.55. 7d. per cent. per annum,
from which it may be confidently inferred, that every expectation
which was held out to the Proprietors in the formation of the
Company has been amply rearmed. By order of the Directors,
WM. BROMLEY, Secretary.

FROM THEI4ONITEHH 01P SUNDAY.
MADRID, JANUARY 11.
-five hundred.. thousand teals (250014 part of the loan
of Gliebbard. have arrived at Madrid, and been deposi-
ted in the Royal Treasury.
His Majesty, by a Decree of the 7th instant, orders
that all Officers not included in the new organization
of the army, shall immediately receive a month's pay,
to return to their homes. The same Decree recommends
to the liitenclants• of the Provinces the greatest punc-
tuality in the payment of the sums allowed to those
Officers.—By another Decree, his Majesty has re.tored
to the town of Tatiffa a considerable octroi (duty on
goods entering the gates), to assi,t it in repairing the
losses which it sustained by the invasion of the Consti-
tutionalits on the 3d of August last year.
By a Dec.ee of the 18th of December, his Majesty
has the offices bestowed by the Viceroys of
our Ame,ican possessions till the clay when the Consti-
tution was published there. His Majesty also confirms)
the military employments conferred since that time.
Blessr-. Larrumbide, Villagomez, Marin, and Pnig„l
Councillors of Castile, who wete escluded at the begin-
ning
of last year, have alteady been teplaced ; the three)
first had co operated in draWing up the new plan of
public hist; uction : the last is one of the oldest Magis-
trates of the nation.
M. Bermudez, by the aid of M. Ugarte; daily obtains
a mote decided ascendant over his colleagues. For
some days past his Majesty has given no private audi-
ences: he refers all the applications made to hitn_to
M. Zea.—Madame Erro, whose husband, Ex Minister
of Finance, is still in exile at Valladolid, has again ap-
plied to his Majesty to obtain per mission for him to re-
turn hither. The King answered that this permission
would be soon granted, but that the time was nut yet
come. The Council of Castile is engaged with a plan
for changing the seat of some of the Courts of Jostice
in the kingdom, to afford the inhabitants of the pro.
vinces, iaa the resort of these tribunals, greater facilities
in carry tag on their suits at law. The courts of Navarre,
Cazetes, and Barcelona are included in these changes ;.
they will be removed to Olito, toPerida, and to Reus.

German Papers to the (20th instant reached us this
forenoon. The following ate extracts :

HANOVER, JANUARY 14.
The information which has been collected within
some years past, respecting the incdne of the Protestant
livings in the kingdom, having proved that on the one
hand the clasacation of the Protestant livings, ac-
cording to their incomes, resting almost exclusively on.,
the original foundation, requires a rectification, because,
in process of time, through the altered prices of things,4
&c. it has undergone modifications, which in many
cases do not correspond with the extent of the livings;
' and that, on the other hand, not only the number of
livings with small endowments is too large, in propor-
tion to the better-ones, but there are even some, on the
present incomes of which no Clergyman can subsist,
without being much distressed in his ciicurnstances.
Now, that these evils may be gra.lually remedied, as
far as the existing means will allow, his Majesty, our
most gracious King, has been pleased, by a general
plan for the improvement of the Protestant livings,
sanctioned by him, to make the following regulations ;
• All the Protestant livings in the Kingdom shall be
divided, according to their income, into three pi incipal
classes, each class rising 300 dollars above that below
it, and each class to be divided into three subdivisions,
diftering 100 dollars from each other, as far as the un-
certainty of the receipts depending on casual circum-
stances will permit.
To this end, from Ist Ju1y,11321, all Protestant livings
• which were at that time under 300 rix dollars, shall
be raised to that value by a fixed increase, to be paid
out of the public treasury, either for ever, or at least
until they can he joined with-neighbouring parishes.
HANOVER, JAN. 13.

His Majesty, in order to ameliorate the condition of
the Evangelic Parochial Clergy, has ordered that they
shall be divided into three classes, each of which is to
have three subdivisions, in such a manner, that the mini-
mum of their income shall he from SOO to 4.00 crowns,
and the maximum from 1100 to 1200 crowns.
COLOGNE, JAN.I6. _ _

The Klienishs,West India Company has exported by
sea, up to the close-of the navigation in 1824, goods to
the value of 2,286,120 dollars. Of this sum, the Prus-
sian dominions, for their part, lbout a million and a half
of dollars, and the Kingdom of Saxony half a million.
The ex poitation of 1824 alone, was 950,000 dollars.

Papers from the United States (including the Journals
of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York—the latter
of the date of January Ist) have arrived ; they reached
Liverpool by the Colombian racket. Their contents
are very unimportant. The bill granting 200,000
dollars in money, and township in land, to General LA-
rAYarre, has passed into a law. A general impression
prevailed that JACKSON would be the new President.
On the subject of the forged news of a pretended defeat
of BOLIVAR, which made so much stir last week in
London among the ignorant or inconsiderate, we ex-
tract a few paragraphs. The following is from the
Colombian Sentinel of the 25th of December:—" The
reports from South America, received at the South,l
continue to represent BOLIVAR as victorious. We can
only say, that the letter from Panama, inserted in our
last, of an opposite aspect, is from an ardent son of li-
bel ty and a respectable character."
EBOM THE EVENING POST, DEC. 28.
AFFAIRS OF PERU. _ _ _

'4 One of those impositions which we have had fre-
quent occasion to expose, relative to the state of affairs
in Peru, was attempted on Wednesday last in the Boom
ten Sentinel, and caught at with an avidity here by some
of our cotempot at ies, which could not fail to create some
suspicions that they secretly rejoiced at what they were
pleased to term disastrous intelligence from the Pa-
triots in Peru.' We allude to a letter published in the
Boston :Sentinel, said to have been received from a
Correspondent in South America,' and purporting to be
dated Panama, October 30.' in which the writer gives
an account of a battle said to have been fought' near
Truxillo, on the 17th of last month,' which termi-
nated unfavourably for Bolivar, who had retreated
to Guayaquil, and chat Canterac had entered Colombia.
Independent of its not appearing that any vessel had
arrived at Boston, by which this pretended letter could
be received, we were satisfied, from the circumstance of
its being stated that the disastrous battle was fought
near Trnxillo, that the whole was a fabrication. It has
been established beyond the. possibility of dispute, that
in the beginning of August last, Bolivar left Truxilla,
at die head of his army, in order to attack the Royalists;
that on hearing of his approach the latter fled, but were
overtaken at Junin on the 6th, where an engagement
took place which proved fatal to the cavalry of Can-
terac, the whole having been killed or taken prisoners;
that the Royalist infantry continued its flight, pursued
by the Patriots; and that on the 31st of August, Boli-
var entered lluancayo, in Upper Peru. The intelli-
gence of the victory over Canterac, which reached us
towards the end of November, was so conclusive and
satisfactory, that the Commercial Advertiser, which had
previously expressed doubts as to the successes of the
Patriots, acknowledged its conviction of the truth."
FROM TILE BALTIMORE ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 28.
" THE FABRICATED NEWS FROM PANAMA.
" In addition to the testimony given yesterday dis-
proving the statements of the letter-writer for the
Boston Sentinel respecting a reported Royalist victory
in Peru, ye have r.ow to state, that information was re•
