Colonel Kinney,s New scheme.

We learn. from the New York Evening Post that
Colonel Kinney, having abandoned his first plan,
has now projected new expedition to Nicaragua.
We understand, says the Post, that the Colonel
has entirely separated himself from the Central
American Company, Of which Senator Cooper, Of
Pennsylvania, Is the President, in consequence Of
doubts as to the validity Of the title to the lands
which they proposed to colonize, the Nicaraguan
government never having admitted the legality Of
the Mosquito Kings grant.
He has, therefore, changed his plan, and pro-
by the Nicaaguan government 10 J. w. fsbens,
the United States Consul at San Juan, and other
individuals, for mining, agricultural and commercial
objects. The district selected is the elevated,
healthy, table lands Of Chontales, in the neghbor-
hood Of the gold mines, and where, by the last
steamer, we learn that promising mine Of coal
has just been discovered.
The country Is said TO be well adapted TO the
growth OF corn, now It's principal staple, and other
productions Of the temperate zone, and TO abound
in forests OF mahogany and the cabinet woods
generally As the Colonel declares that he has no
idea Of founding new government, but to live
under the protection and authority of the govern
ment OF Nicaragua, his enterprise assumes the
character OF purely business transaction and will
probably enlist emigrants Of more desirable kind
than the scheme with which he was formerly con-
nected
The Colonel, 1t Is said, win leave New York
with part Of his colony early in May.
