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) hundred sail of vessels employed in
the trade, giving an impetus to the shipping interest,
and largely benetitting the agriculturists, the utmost
protection that is possible ought to be afforded to those
who take risks in the enterprise. Such, however, is not
the fact. The latest accounts from Ichaboe state that
the greatest irregularities were 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 99:1 to 100-,1, and for
time 100 to 100-4-. Exchequer-bills are flat at 655. to
635. premium. East India Bonds have been 90s. prem.
Bank Stock has been 204 to 2041. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 1014 to 102; and the Three
per Cents., Reduced, 99h- to Long Annuities are 12 to
12 1-16. The Commissioners have purchased Three
per Cents. and New Stock to the amount of 25,0001.
There is a rather buoyant market for the foreign in-
vestments. Spanish Activo Bonds have touched 24 to
k ; and the Three per Cents., 35f to i; Portuguese Old
Bonds are at 85. Mexican have been 344 ; and Bra-
zilian New, 84 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
marked 624 i; and the Five per Cents., 99 k, being firm.
Business in the Share Market has been less animated,
and there is scarcely so much buoyancy. Great Western
are 651- to 64i prem. ; Birmingham, 115 to 114 i prem. ;
Chester and Holyhead, 14 prem. ; York and North Mid-
land, 63 prem., &c., as in the list below. The French
lines are still in favour.

ROBBERY IN AN OMNlBus.—Yesterday information
was received at Bow-street, as the chief Police-office,
that on Saturday last, while Mrs. Drew, of No. 7,
Delahay-street, was riding between Cheapside and the
Old Bailey, in an omnibus, No. 3,115, of Bayswater,
she had her pocket picked of a 101. Bank of England
note, No. 86,746, dated 10th of September two 5L ditto
—number of one of them 90,385, dated 2d of September
—and two or three sovereigns, in a long blue purse.
It is supposed to have been committed by two young
men, one of them five feet five inches high, hard
featured, fresh-coloured, and dressed in dark clothes,
with a cloak over his arm ; the other about the same
height, pale, slighter than his accomplice, and dressed in
a Tweed wrapper.
CHILD KILLED BY A FERRET.—A child about
three years old, named Charles Flitton, was killed by a
ferret at Whittlesford, last Sunday night. The mother
occupied a room in the old workhouse, and lett 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.—
Cambridge Chronicle.

A HA-RE V. STEAM.—On Friday week as a party
were coursing near Countesthorpe close on the Midland
line, the Newcastle down train happened to pass, when
" puss," to elude her pursuers, jumped on the line, and,
for some distance, ran in tine style betcre the train, till
they met the up-train, going at the rate of about thirty
miles an hour, which seemed to disconcert this novel
competitor to steam, for she made a sudden spring up-
wards as it to escape, when she was struck by a part of
the other engine, and thrown across the buffer of the
up one, where she was seen struggling for a time, till at
last it fell, and was picked up by a policeman, who would
no doubt appropriate it, in defiance of the game-laws, to
his own use as a penalty for its trespass on the railway.
—Leicestershire Mercury.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BELGIUM.—On Monday
evening, says the Independent of Brussels, a horse, which
had nintrga,3
•ed upon the railroad near the Soignies station,
es
was run against by a train, and actually cut in two,
without any of the carriages having been thrown off the
rails, or even the rate of speed being relaxed.
