GUANO.—Alively interest was excited last w(zelf
in the Colonial market, owing to a sale by auction of the
first cargo of guano imported into London from the re-
cently discovered island of Ichaboe, on the western coast
of Africa. The interest was increased by a similar sale
in Liverpool, a few days before, of the largest quantity
that has hitherto come from the same place, in one
bottom, namely, the ship Blake, of one thousand tons.
The competition at both sales was very spirited, and each
cargo was sold in about twenty minutes. The desire for
Ichaboe guano has arisen from the fact, that all the emi-
nent chemists who have analysed it, have found it
to possess the fertilizing properties in the highest
degree ; and the results of its application by practical
agriculturists has proved the correctness of their
analysis. The farmers in the northern and some of the
western districts in England and in Scotland, were
'among the first to try Guano, when introdnced from
South America, four years ago, and have had the best
means of ascertaining its qualities. The conse-
quence is that the consumption in these parts
of. the kingdom is, this year, increased at least
twenty times above that of last year, being no
small evidence of the superior merits of this invalu-
able manure. Besides the demand for home consump-
tion, several ships have discharged in the West Indies,
and there are large orders for various ports on the
Continent. The immense benefit to the shipping inte-
rest, from this new branch of commerce, may be eon-
ceived, when it is known that about four hundred ships
are on their way to Ichahoe and the adjoining islands
for the next year's supply, and that from this cause the
value of shipping has advanced fifteen to twenty per
cent. We perceive that a cargo of Ichaboe Guano is to
be sold by public auction, at the Corn Market, Mark-
lane. on Monday, the 10th instant.
Yesterday was the anniversary (June 6, 1814) of the
arrival of the King of Prussia, the late Emperor of Russia,
and other continental Princes, in London, after the termina-
tion of the war, when a round of fetes took place.
IMPORTATION OF BUTTER.--On a recent represen-
tation to the Board of Customs by the principal practical
officers, stating that it has hitherto been the practice to allow
a tare of 141bs. each for each cask containing butter im-
ported froth Rotterdam, and commonly known among the
trade as " Black Jacks," whereas the weight of the casks
varies to a considerable extent, and after the report of the
Surveyor-General on the subject, stating that they had con-
ferred with the wholesale importers of the article, who con-
curred in the recommendation, it has been decided by the
Board that in future an uniform tare of 101bs. be allowed
for the casks in question, instead of 141bs. as at present.
This order is of much importance, as immense quantities
of the article are daily brought over to this country from
