FOUYDATIoN OF PANAMA.-We insert a his
torical sketch of the foundation of this city
which. we believe. Will prove interesting to our
readers in this place, and equally so abroad
1t has been arranged for the exclusive use of
the Star.
Panama was founded by Pedo Arias Davila
in the year 1913, at the place known by the
name of Old Panama, where still some vesti-
ges of the ruins are found as the remains of that
city, showing the memory of its existence, and
its once fourishing condition.
In 1879, the English pirate John Morgan, q
native of Wales in England, and descendent of
rich farmer, took Panama by assault, sacked
it, and reduced it to ashes
Panama, at that epoch, was one of the most
important places in America, chiefly from its
advantageous situation between the two Amer
icas and for its thriving commerce. It con-
tanned eight converts, sevel of which were fri
ars, and one of nuns; two sumptuous temples
adorned with costly paintings; a hospital for
the reception of the distressed and sick; two
hundred houses Of beautiful construction, and
over five thousand other houses which were
destroyed by the fire.
In the vicinity of the town there were many
plantations and beautiful gardens. The Ser
geant General of War, Don Antonio Fernan-
dez de Cordova was appointed to build the new
city of Panama, and Don Alonzo Mercado de
Villacorta commenced its fortifcation. The
Emperor Carlos the the Fifth, granted to Pa
mama the the title of most noble city, and
gave it q coat of arms, consisting of shield
divided in the centre on a buckler of gold, on
half the right yoke, bunch of grey arrows
with blue basket, with feathers displayed,
being the insignia of the Catholic Kings.
On the side, two vessels were seen, one above
and the other below, signifying the direction
in which the Indies were to be discovered on
the top star was fixed to show the Arctic
Pole. The shield was adorned with lions and
castles.
In the new city the converts of San Francis
co. San Domingo, Las Mercedes, House of Mer-
cy, and San Augustine were founded, the latter
being the University, under the regulars OF the
company. There was Seminary and College,
founded by Bishops Don Francisco Savier de
Dunai Victoria, in 1851, the Hospital of San
Juan de Dios, and the Monastery Of the Order
of Conception. In the early age of the city,
an Order of the Spanish Monarch was establish
ed, and to add Importance to the place, mint
was founded but did not exist long. The city
was at first governed by President and the
Tribunal of Royal Audience erected in 1886
and surpassed in 1852, in consequence of
which the Spanish Monarch appointed then a
Military Governor and Royal Lieutenant.
The Bishoprc was erected by Pope Leon TX,
in 1921. It's first Bishop was Don Fray Vic
ente Valverde, of the order of ST. Domingo,
who arrived and took his seat in 1858.
The famous triumvirate for the discovery and
conquest of Peru was formed in this city by
Francisco Pizarro Diego de Almagro and Her
nando de Luque.
Panama suffered from two terrible fires, the
first took place in 1871 and the second l766.-
Panama Star.

TENNESSEE CREDIT.

We are pleased to find the following article IN
the New York Times, of the l4th inst
The following authorized paragraph appears
in the Journal of Commerce of this morning;
ave are requested from the proper author,
ties to say that in the matter of the accidental
omission to pay few coupons of the East len
nessee and Georgia Rail Road Company, the er-
ror was not occasioned from any want ofpromps
titude or good faith on the part of the Compa-
ny, the State, or its fiscal agent, the Bank of
Tennessee, but simply from misunderstood
ing on the part of the two Banks here, upon
whom the payment Of the interest devolves, and
who took instant measures to correct it on be-
ing made aware of the error. This temporary
irresularity in reference to an amount so tri-
fling, has been altogether too much magnified
before the public. So far from having affected
unfavorably the market value of the Tennessee
Bonds, as has been intimated in some quarters
the tendency of the brief excitement has been
to call attention to these investments; and the
explanations which have been made, have gone
SO fully understood or appreciated"
To this we have only to add, that if the "in-
slant measures" here paraded, had been taken
by the two banks in question before they were
Utterly "made" to take them By newspaper COM
ment, there would have been no occasion for the
"error" being "maguifed before the public
The Banks stood within few doors of each o.
ther. Both had had previous dealings in Ten
nessee Coupons. The Bank of the State dis
honored the Rail Road Company, with the mon
ey of the Company in its Golfers This was not
a wrong to be lightly justified on the plea of ac-
cident. The Merchants Bank in turn failed,
in proper season to intervene for the honor of
the State of Tennessee. This, it had no justii-
cation in doing for one instant. 1t held writ
ten instructions, and the account and funds of
the Agent to back therc, .: &c ,Tvivrs Tue State
Coupons under all emergencies, whether first
incumbent on the State, or on the Rail Road
Corporations to whom she had loaned her credit;
whether specially redeemable at the Merchants'S
Bank, the State Bank, or any other Banks in
the city of New York.
The Journal is right in its concluding sugges-
ton. Tennessee credit will profit by the ex-
plantations of this occurrence but no thanks to
the Banks referred to who banded a foreign
creditor from door to door with paltry amount
of coupons in hand, and then turned him over
to a correspondence with the State authorities.a a
thousand miles distant. The State ought to
houe hAHr o" che l,nd t~lsnn ~.-z sfiessss1es tn
be, doubly protected; as it is shelw doubly
wronged."

BRITISH EAST INDIA CoMPANY's CHARTER
The question of the renewed of the celebrated
company's charter, which expires on 30th April
1854, is already beginning to excite discussion
in England.
This famous association was originally formed
for the purpose of carrying on trade between
England and India, the exclusive right of which
they acquired. But since the middle of the
last century the political affairs of the company
have been of more Importance than their com
mercial
The first association was chartered on the 3lst
December, 1900, under the name of "The Gov
ernor and Company of Merchants of London
trading with the East Indies" The Company
obtained renewed of its charter from Cromwell
in 1854. and from Charles II. in 1862. Suisse
gent renewals of the charter were obtained
from the crown, always with exclusive privii-
ges of trade. These grants of monopoly met
s''tl rr--''i0r- F-~--> rnA4ehants not in
terested in the cOmpany's operations. In 1893
another company, composed of merchants hos.
tile to the old company, was established by au-
thority of Parliament with exclusive right to
the India trade, thus presenting the anoma-
lous spectacle of two companies with the ex-
elusive privileges.
In 1902 the companies adjusted their differ
ences, formed themselves into one company,
under the style of "The United Company of
Merchants trading to the East Indies" and re-
ceived a charter from Parliament Notwith.
standing the strenuous opposition of the Mer-
chants of London and the friends of free trade
subsequent renewals of the charter, with its ex-
elusive privileges, were obtained from Parlia-
ment until 1898. In the act of that year re-
newing the charter the exclusiveness of the
companyS privileges was a little relaxed in
favor of private trade. On the renewal of the
companys charter, in 1914, the India trade
was opened under certain restrictions, to the
public, though the company still retained the
exclusive privilege of the China trade
But so deep and general had the conviction
become of the injurious and impolitic charac-
ter of the company's monopoly, that when the
question of the renewal of its charter again
came up in 1882 and 1888, the act which was
then passed continuing the charter till 1854,
terminated altogether the company's CONNER
cial character and only preserved its politiccl
functions
The policy of renewing or putting an end en-
tirely to the existence of this famous company
is soon again to engage the attention Of the
British Legislature.

INCREASED VALUE OF THE EXPORTS
OF THE UNITED STATES.

Loud and often, remarks the New York Post,
are the complaints we hear of the large and e1-
cessiYe increase of our imports, and Of the
burden they are said to impose on the means OF
the community.
The still greater increase in our means is en-
entirely overlooked. That the value and guam
tity of our greater ratio then our imports, is
seen. in the fact that we have exported no large
amount of gold this year, while last year, up to
this period, we had shipped over s7,OOO,OOO
from this point alone.
Our increased ability this year, as compared
with the last, to pay for increased imports, con-
siSts in part in the increased value Of cotton,
and in part in large crop raised.
The Anegnt of cotton exported last year
was in round numbers, 100000, This sea-
son the price of cotton has thus far ruled about
two cents per pound over the average price Of
last season, but taking it at one and half cents
per pound on the above quantity at 400 Tbs per
bale, the excess of value is sl4,40O,OOO; to
which we have to add 100000 bales increase
of quantity exported, at $40 per bale, equal
to Sl0,OOO,OOO, making together $24,4OO,OOO
whidth, at the lowest estimate, is the increased
value of that portion of this years exported.
We have to add to this also, not only an in
creased quantity of breadstuffs and other pro-
duce exported, but at greatly advanced prices
over those of last year. Our increased imports
therefore, form but small fraction of our in
creased export values.
The profits of the past year have been great,
but they have been mainly invested, not in for
eign products or objects, but in our home and
internal enterprise, which have SO greatly in
creased, and with q constantly augmenting
ratio.

During her recent visit to Scotland, Queen
Victoria in company with Prince Albert the
Prince of Wales, and Dr. Robertson, were one
day overtaken by shower, and, were obliged
to take shelter in shepherds hut. Before
leaving Prince Albert requested DR.. Robertson
to give the shepherd sovereign, but the doctor
found that he had not his purse with him.
"Then," said the Prince, II shall give it to
him." but he, too, was in the same condition.
The Queen, on learning the circumstance, offer
ed to give it to him, but on examining her
purse, found that it contained only half a
crown. "Well'' said she "this is pretty royal
party withouta sOcereign, and Queen with
only the half ofG croacn"
