FOR NICARAGUA.

The schooner Emma V. sailed yesterday for San
Juan del Norte, under charter by Messrs. John r.
Russell and James Thomas, with valuable assorted
cargo of goods of American manufacture for Trading
expedition IN Nicaragua. They intend 20 establish
themselves at Granada and to open up remunera-
tive trade between that country and our own. The
near prospect of the opening OF the Ncaraguan route
encourages the hope that valuable business relations
may soon spring up between u.s. in which case Messrs
Russell & Thomas are the fret upon the ground 70
profit by the opening. These gentlemen, understand
ing the value Of the press for the diffusion of correct
mercantile well a. political information, have pro-
yided themselves with of Hoes superior presses,
and a complete outfit for newspaper establishment.
They intend To establish paper at Granada 20 be
printed one half in the English and the other half IN
the Spanish language TO add to the social interest of
the enterprise Mr.. Russell accompanied by his wife,
who is the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Norton OF Wor-
cester Co., Mass. lady who is well known for her
refinement and intelligence. The presence Of these
persons in Nicaragua will DO much, it s hoped 20

which for lust cause has been entertained toward our
countrymen.
