TUESDAY

MORNING, DEC. 13, 1853

IT will be remembered that, a short time since
when the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce made
an urgent remonstrance to the Government on the
subject of the supply of Guano from certain islands
in the Pacific Ocean, it was then believed that the
supply was almost inexhaustible. The remon-
strance was ineffectual, because it was shown that
the sovereignty of the islands rested indubitably
with Peru, and that, consequently, the trade must
depend on such arrangements as could be made by

British merchants with those who had the legal

property in this important article of commerce.
A new difficulty has, however, arisen of far more
consequence than rights of ownership, and one
which will demand far more active measures to
provide against. The belief that the supply was
inexhaustible has been proved to be utterly falla-
cious, and that, so far from expecting increased
supplies, a very few years will serve to deprive the
Chinca Islands of the whole of their present store.
A very careful survey has been made by the most
competent authorities, and they have arrived at
the conclusion that, without exceeding the present
rate of exp

rt, which is about one million tons
annually, the whole will be removed in little more
than eight years. The improvements which have
taken place in modern agriculture have rendered
this article almost a necessary; and though chemical
skill has done much to test the value of manures
for fertilising purposes, the great difficulty is the
obtaining adequate quantities at such lowness of
price as to render them really advantageous. We
