err; GUAN O—ITS; HISTORY. Guano, as most peqplq understand, is, im-: ported from the islands of the Pacific—most ly of’ the Chincha group off the of Peru, and under the dominion of that gov ernment., Its sale, is made a monopoly, and the avails, to a great extent, go to pay the British holders of Peruvian government bonds, giving them to all intents and purposes, a lien upon the .profits of a treasure intrinsically more valuable than the gold mines of Cali fornia. .There are deposits of this unsur passed fertilizer in some places to the depth of sixty ot seventy feet, aed over large ex tents of surface. The guano fields are gen erally conceded to be the excrementa of aquatic fowls which live and nestle in great numbers around the islands. They seem de signed by nature to rescue, at least it) part, that untold amount of fertilizing material which every river end brooklet is rolling into the sen. The wash of alluvial soils, the float, mg refuse of the field and forest, and, above all, the wasted materials of great cities, are constantly being carried by the tidal currents nut to sea. These, to a certain bxtenl at least, go to nourish, directly or indirectly, submarine vegetable and animal life, which m turn goes to feed the birds which at our day are brought away by the ship load from the Chincha islands. Tile bird is,a beautifully-arranged chemical laboratory, lilted up to perform a single op eration, viz :—to take the fish as food, burn out the carbon by means of its respiratory functions, and deposit the remainder in the shape of an incomparable fertilizer. But how many ages may these depositions of seventy feel m thickness been accumula lina 1 There ere at the'present day countless numbers of the birds resting upon the islands at night; but, according to Baron Humboldt, the excrements of the birds for the space of three centuries would not form a stratum over one-tbird of an inch in thickness.— By an easy mathematical calculation, it will he seen that at this rate of deposition, it would lake seven thousand five hundred and sixty centuries, or seven hundred and fifty six thousand years, to form the deepest gua no bed ! Such a calculation carries us back well on towards a former geological period, and proves one, and perhaps both, of two things—first, that in past ages an infinitely greater number of these birds hovered over the islands ; and secondly, that the ma terial world existed at a period long anterior to its fitness ns the abode of man. The length of man’s existence is infinitesimal, compared with such a cycle of years ; and the (acts recorded on every leaf of the ma terial universe ought, if it does not, to leach us humility. That a little bird, whose indi vidual existence is as nothing, should, in ns united-action, produce the means of bring ing back (o aa active fertility whole provin ces of waste and barren lands, is one of a thousand facts to show how apparently in significant agencies in the economy of na ture produce momentous results. —London Farmer's Magazine. The Sound Dues.—WJial they arc. The “Sound 'Dues” at the present lime be ing the subject of much agitation at Wash ington and elsewhere, and as they may pos sibly give rise to 'a serious dispute between the United Slates and Denmark, it is well that all should know what they are. The “Sound” is a narrow strait lying between the island of Zeland, belonging to the Danes, and the Swedish coast, and gives entrance to the Baltic Scs. The fortress of Cronhurg Castle commands the passage, and exacts a payment from all vessels entering the Baltic ; the ships of Denmark herself have to pay, as well as foreign lonage. The origin of this exaction is, that in ancient limes, Denmark undertook to build and sustain certain light-houses along the coast, for which the Hanestowns agreed US' pay toll. England, Franco, Holland and Sweden pay a duty of one per cent, on ev ery cargo entering the Baltic. Other coun tries including the United Siates, pay one and a quarter cent"; even Danish ships are taxed to this rate. In the year 1826, a treaty re cognizing this duty was concluded between the United Slates and Denmark. This treaty, however, according to one of its stipulations, may be dissolved by either of the parlies, provided they give one year’s notice of their intention, During the Presidency of John Ty ler, our Government determined to pm a for cible end to this imposition. Mr. Upshur, then Secretary of Stale, fitted out a fleet of mer chantmen and vessels of war, under Commo dore Stuart, which he designed should force its way into the Baltic, and thus at once rid the United Stales of the Sound duties.— Mr. Upshur’s sudden death, however, by (he explosion of a cannon just as the fleet was ready to start, delayed Iho exhibition, and it was finally abandoned. Other attempts were made to abolish this lax. While Denmark was at war with Schleswig-Holstein, Mr. Flenniken, the U. S. Minister offered, on the part of his Governmet to pay Denmark $250, 000 for 10 years’ suspension of dues ; his death prevented proposal coming to a head. Finally, on the 12lh of April last the U. S. notified the Danish Government of their intention to cease paying the Sound duties, and the stipulation of the treaty will accor dingly expire next Spring. Should no ami cable arrangement of the question be arrived m in the meanwhile, we expect to see our vessels passing the Sound under war like convoy. A serious conflict will then most probably arise— Alb. Tram, ( Obituary.—a late number of ihe Boston Times contains the following “Dyed in ibis city, a few days since, 'Charley’s whiskers.

No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails; besides it soon generates serious and oflen ’fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicious usq of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the ncarscs all over the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first Importance to the public health, and .this Pill has been perfected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profcs . sore, and Patients, has shown surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub stantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the many eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention: Db. A. A. Hayes, Analytical Chemist, of Boston, and State Aasaycr of Massachusetts, whose high professional character is endorsed by the Hon. Edward Everett, Senator of the U. 8. Robert C, Wintkuop, Ex-Speaker of the House »f Representatives. Abbott Lawrence, Minister Plan, to England, f John B. Fitzpatrick, Cath. Bishop of Boston. Also, Dn. J. R. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of New York City, endorsed by Hon. W. L. Maucy, Secretary of State. Wm. B. Ahtor, the richest man in America. S. Lbland Hi. Co., Propria of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit, wc could give manv hundred certificate*, from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than thq experience of eminent public men is found in. their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long Investigation and study, arc offered to the public os the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford. They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, hut of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical process in a state of purity, and combined together in such a manner ns to insure the best results. This system,of composition for medicines bps been found in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob 4 vious. While by the old modeuf composition, every medicine U burdened with more or less of acri monious and injurious qualities, by thin each indi vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative effect is present. * All the inert ond obnoxious qual ities of each substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues oulv being retained. Hence it 5s self-evident the effects should prose ns they have proved more purely remedial, and the Pill* u surer, moro powerful antidote to dbense than any other medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that my medicine should be taken under the counsel of un attending Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have supplied the accurate Formula; by which both my Pectoral and Pills ore made to the whole body of Practitioners in the United States and British Amer ican Provinces, If, howoier, there should be any ono who has not received them, they will be promptly forwarded hv mail to his address. Of aH*thc Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would be taken if their composition was known 5 Their life consists in their mystery, X have no mysteries. . • The composition of my preparations is laid open to all men, and nil who nic competent to judge on the subject freely kcknowlcdge their comietions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral uns pronounced by scientific men to ho n wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Mam em inent ITiysicians have declared the same thing of mv Pills, and even more confidently, and arc will ing TO cemty tltni tUCII QittklynUnnn were, umta than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action rcmoie the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange ments as arc the first origin of iUmswc. Being Hugar wrapped they arc plciu-ruit to tube, and being purely vegetable, no barm can arise from their use in anv quantity. For minute directions, see wrapper on the Box.
