The Guano trade, notwithstanding the irregularities
that have recently taken place in the way of adultera-
tion, is likely to be one of rising importance in this
country. Several cargoes have very recently been dis-
posed of at Hull and Liverpool, and here also, at advanced
prices. When it is considered that there are at present
not, far short of tw-t hundred sail, of vessels employed in
the trade, giving an impetus to the shipping interest,
uTL4 largely benefitting the agriculturists, the utmost
is passible ought to be afforded to those

in the enterprise. Such, however, is not
the fact. The lEiteiit P.Ccounts from Ichaboe state that
the greatest irregularities well 4 committed, by attempts
of foreign vessels to take in cargoes out of turn, and
serious collisions were expected to occur. A. sloop of
war was expected daily on the station, and this would,
doubtless, put a speedy stop to intrusions.
There are no arrivals to-day with late foreign news.
The Funds are rather better to-day. Consols for
immediate transfer have realised 994 to 100 k, and for

There is a rather buoyant market for the foreign in-
vestments. Spanish Active Bonds have touched g 4 to

CHILD KILLED BY A FERRET.—A child about
three years old, named Charles Flitton, was killed by a
ferret at Whittlesfurd, last Sunday night. The mother
occupied a room in the old workhouse, and left the
child asleep in bed about seven o'clock in the evening.
at which time a ferret belonging to Joseph Brett was
in the room, in a box through the lattice of which it
could pass. On her return about a quarter-past nine
o'clock the mother found her child so wounded by the
ferret that he died a little before three in the morning.—
