A New Railroad, Scheme—Hing George of Hanover Buguged im the Adair. a” PANAMA, April 15, 1868. ‘The daily Lacreasing demand for facilities 1u inter- oceanle tyamc and travel has called forth a large number of projects of canals, railroads and other wayg Of communication across Central America. Beginning from Mexico, there is no locality which offers or appears to offer some advantage for the es- tablishment of such communication between the At- lantic and Pacific that has not been made the object of speculation, government contracts and stock job- bing. The great and well merited snecess of the Panama Railroad Company is the goal which all have been striving to reach, but so far not‘one of the competitors has been successful even iu making a fair and solid beginning. Generally the work has been confined to paper, contracts, prospectuses aud puiling pamphlets, and before the sod was turned the concern was burst up, Costa Riea has lately been threatened with the evil efects of such wild speculation as ruins some, disappoints a great many and disgusts all, he Costa Rica Railroad Company, with General Fremont at the head, weatin with the usual noike and fourish, bul has never dove anything serious for realizing their promises and fulfilling the expect tions of the inhabitants and many others interested in the establishment of a new and commodious transit. It very soon became apparent that the origi- nators of that scheme were unable to carry out ther intentions; and regret and anger of the Costa Ricans and their friends took the piace of hope and. confi- dence. [twas all the more to be regretted that such should be the case, because the project itself was feasible, the contract with the government fayor- able, and the railroad once fairly established promised a handsome return for the capital invested, besides of- fering a large field for speculation in counecting steamer lines, In real estate, &. Fortunately the Scheme has not been snitered to collapse, but at the eleventh hour has been rescued by men who are both able and wilting to build a road, work it and make it pay. For obvious reasons the particulars of the new ‘arrangement canuot yet be made public, but the fol: ee paragraphs will be found interesting and re rle:— ‘rhe new contpeny, which comprises men of wealth and high standing from Philadelphia, New Orleans and other cities of the United States, has become full owner of all the concessions and privileges of the first company. They only wish to have some slight alterations made in the old contract with the Costa Rican government. before commencing work. For that purpose and for arranging several other pre- liminaries they have sent Mr. Oscar E, Miller as their agent to San José, Mr. Miiller has resided in Costa Rica for many years and gained the respect of its government and people as well a8 an insight into the affairs, wants and advantages of the country, Another agent is shortly expected to follow, and if the government of Costa Rica mects the demands of the company, as it undoubtedly will, the points in question being of minor importance, work will be commenced forthwith, and the company hope to haye the road finished In three years, although, in order to be prepared for all possible lay, they will ask for «six years. Two = loco- motives, ten. construction cars and thousands tons of rails have already been contracted for with Euglish houses and are shortiy expected at the port of Limon, the Atlantic terminus of the road. Only about twenty-five miles go through the i caliente, 830 that soon the healthy terra templada will be reached, where laborers from cold climates will find no inconvenience whatever. It is intended aS soon as even a short piece of the road is finished to connect it by stages and wagons witb the interior, so as to gradually direct into this channel the travel and exports of Costa Rica, even before making it the highway of nations. The project of the railroad which fias thus been briefly explained is connected with some other schemes tt are deatined to con- tribute to the success of the road as well as to derive material benedt from the latter, At the present stage oe bye negotiations only the following particulars can given. itis well known that the King of Hanover, who was so unceremoniously deprived of his throne by the events subsequent to the battle of Sadowa, has a large number of faithful subjects who have spurned allegiance to the Pr crown and left their homes in voluntary banisimeat, Some of these faithful Hano- verians are at Hietzing with their monarch, others in Switzerland, and others stillin France, where tie: engaged in the foolish design of forming a Guelp! legion, but were interfered with by the iniperial gov- ernment, It is now proposed to offer to all these maalcontents who can never return to their homes, and to the many others who are willing to leave their formerly independent country, @ new fatherland in Costa Rica, where already tie German bumigrants are quite numerous and soil and climate offer great advantages to the #etuer. It is confidently asserted that King George is ready to provide in this manner for his faithful expatriated subjects, and would pre- fer their settlement in a Catholic country like Costa Rica, as he himseif is strongly leaning towards the hoiy Apostolic Church. He would get rid of anele- phant that he does bot know what to do with, and the railroad company would gain a large number of strong and good workmen, who would ultimately settle along: the road, thereby contributing not only to its construction, but also to its pecu- niary success, and besides form a valuable addition to the agricultural and Saab g 4 class of residents of the republic. — ‘Th consideration, it is thought, will have great weight with the Costa Rica government in granting some further privileges to the new company. It is fur- thermore asserted that the Prassian government not oniy would with great satisfaction this solution of the Hanoverian adliticulty and contribute to its realization, but has also some object of its own in colonizing Costa Rica. It is certainly a remarkable fact that the North German corvette Augusta, which left Aspinwall for Limon on the 10th inst., will re- main about one month on the Costa Rica coast in jer to make explorations and soundings, and that her officers go into the interlor over the same route which the Costa Rica Railroad will take. ART NOTES. ‘Yhe English artist Mr, Eyre Crowe has nearly finished # picture representing that after scene of the exceution of Mary Queen of Scots wherein the Sheri! of Northamptonshire showed the body of the Queen to the oficial surgeon. It is stated that the corpse, after decapitation, was thrown out of the great hall at Fotheringay and ieft for atime upon the floor of the presence chamber, which adjoined it, This tale has suggested an impressive point to the artist, who represents the room empty of furniture but its arras and the state seat, with a canopy and dais, of Elizabeth. Behind the chair are inscribed the arms and. cipher of the victorious Queen. Before the dais, supine, face uppermost, with nothing between its robes and the bare floor but ap old green billiard cloth, ies the corpse of Mary. The feet, which potnt to her rival's throne, are placed in order together: the arms lie close to the sides of the dead; the rigit hand still firmly grasps the cracifix to which during her last moments she cinng, notwithstanding the tmportunities of the Dean of Peterborough (Pletcher).
