GUANO

A great many Guano ships have been reported within
the last few days. It is calculated that, including those
now discharging in different ports, and others on their
way here from St. Helena, there are altogether 20014 den
with this valuable manure, intended for the United King-
dom. Besides these, we learn, by the latest accounts
from It:lmbue, that about 450 more were there, and at
the other islands ; end that the facilities for obtaining
cargoes were so much greater that twice the former
number of vessels were enabled to load at one time. In
addition to the quantity expected to arrive, the stocks in
this country have been accumulating for several months,
especially in the out-ports.
Under these circumstances, and with no immediate
demand for consumption, there is great difficulty in ob-
taining previous rates for floating cargoes.
So large a supply affords, no doubt, a very pleasing
prospect to the agriculturist, and it is gratifying to know
that present prices are still very remunerative to the
shipowner.

ZIARILITT or TITHES AND CHARITABLE INSTITU•
TIONS TO n RATED.—Yesterday a meeting of the
churchwardens and overseers of St.. George the Martyr,
Southwark, was held in the vestry-room of the church,
for the purpose of making a rate towards the relief of
the poor, when two very important points were mooted,
viz., that of rating the stipend of the rector, and which
affects every living in the city of London ; the other
point, relative to the rating of charitable property,
which also affects every charitable institution in the
kingdom. The Rev. Mr. Horton, the rector, remon-
strated against this attempt to diminish his stipend,
which was only 400/, out of which he was compelled by
law to pay a curate 150/. If his income were thus re-
duced, he should apply to Parliament for an increase of
his stipend. After some discussion, in the course of
which it was stated that counsel's opinion had been taken
on the point, and that they had pronounced the stipend
of the clergyman to be legally rateable, it was moved
and carried that the Rev. Mr. Horton's stipend be rated
at only 150/. per annum. The next question of rating
Bethlem Hospital was then considered. The opinions of
counsel taken on this point were directly opposite. Mr.
Gutcb, the solicitor to the parish, read the judgment
given by Lord llenman in the case of the Quaker school
at Croy don (Sherry v. the Inhabitants of Croydon), and
which was precisely in point to 13, thiem Hospital, and
in that case Lord 11, Innen laid it down that the natal
was good. The Governors themselves ku, w from their
own counsel whow they had empl yeil to deft-red the ap-
peals, that they were liable. It was ultimately agreed
ti,at a case should be drawn up, embody mg the wit la
of the points, to be hti 1, if possiole, before her Majesty's
Attorney-General, or, some oiher eminent Queen's coun-
sel, for his opinion, for the future guidance of the parist.
utfieers.

F OAGERY AT BURT.—An audacious. for.ery was
committed on the bank of Messrs. Oakes, and Co., in
Bury, last week, by a person einploed as clerk to the
Norwich antfLondon Direct Railway Company, named
Boning, from London. He had obtained leave of ab-
sence to }mad ChriAnies wilh his friends, and some sur-
priaewas excited by his not returning at the time ap.
pointed. On the Wink book being examined. an entry
was found of a payment of 1021. for which the directors
had gives no order, and on inquiry it was found that the
money had been paid to Boning on a clique bearing
forged signatures of Mr. Eagle, Ur, bring, and Mr:
Beard, three of the directors of the company.— Chelten-
ham Chronicle.

• There are not any arrivals in the City this morning

At this season of the year there are numerous trade
circulars, drawn up from official sources, relative to all
the different branches of trade. As the tea trade is one
of prominent importance, and as there is an agitation
in progress in favour of an alteration of the duty to Is.
per lb., the general summary of a circular sent to us by
a well-known broker, will be read with interetst; It is
as follows :
" The Tea Market throughout the past year has not
been distinguished by any unusual characteristic; the'
improvement which marked its commencement was main...
tained by speculative purchases of considerable extent, •
until the announcement of the Budget in April, when,.
no mention having been made of tea, the principal part -
of these investments was again brought on the market, .
forming with the arrivals, then becoming heavy, a sup-
ply more than adequate to the demand; prices of com-
mon Congou gradually declined, and in the months of
September and October were depressed to the lowest point,
viz. 9id. to 10d.; towards the close of the latter month
some extensive purchases were again entered into at 10d.
and 104 d. and from that time to the present buyers have
been found to take off readily all the common Congou
brought on the market, which is now firm, with but
little of that quality available under lid. Early in •
Novembtr the demand was extended to Twankay,
which served to advance quotations from is. lid. to
ls. 3d. The scarcity of first class and Ho-How kinds
of Congou since August and September has been Leach
felt by the trade, and has induced, of late, business in
these descriptions by private contract at acme consider- •
able improvement on first cost. The low stocks of the
fine classes of Greens with which the season commenced
led to an eager demand ; the early arrivals were gene-,
rally taken off at very remunerating prices ; the. de- .
mend continues good for nearly .all descriptions with
the exception of Gunpowder, of which the supply its
bean r ettitl:: more abairelaot."
The further accounts received t...-day from India are
not of parriculer interest, and if there is fitly difference
iu the tenor of the mercantile silvices, it is, that they
are better than those received ie. i e-c,anber.
The market for the Publie is e,-day ad-
vancing, and there is •a fair busine.; Consols

on account of the Savings' Bunks or Annuities ,
only, however, continues .laity to invest nbout•ls,ooo/..
