GUANO-THE NEW MANURI

GUANO, FROM THE CHINCHA ISLANDS.-It is from thes
well known islands in the Pacific Ocean the Peruvians have
for centuries past supplied, and do, at the present time,
almost entirely supply themselves with this invaluable
manure. Some sixty vessels are now constantly employed
in carrying Guano from thence to the main land, which, by
its fertilising qualities, produces the most abundant crops of
wheat, maize, and all other vegetable productions, whilst,
without it, little or nothing would be obtained from the soil.
Guano, from Chincha, has lately been introduced into this
country by Messrs. W. J. Myers and Co., of Liverpool ;
and in offering it to the British agriculturist, it is deemed
right, in consequence of the introduction of one or two car-
goes from the coast of Bolivia, to say that they, with Messrs.
Alexander Macdonald and Co., St. Mildred's-court, London,
and their accredited agents in the country, are the. only par-
ties in England from whom the Guano, from Chnicha, can
be procured. On application to any of them the article
with
may
be had genuine, and warranted the same quality as is used by
the Peruvians, who esteem this Guano so highly that
the utmost difficulty was the Government of that country in-
duced to allow its exportation to Europe, for fear of doing an
injury to their own agricultural interest, which could not be
remedied should the Guano be all exported. Guano has been
applied, in this country, with the greatest success to the
growth of wheat, barley, hops, turnips, grass lands, potatoes,
and indeed every description of vegetable production, in the
i
whole of which the increase of crop was most apparent and
highly satisfactory, and it only requires to be known to secure
it general use by agriculturists.

"YANG,"
THE CENTRAL FIRE,

WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed
the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade
resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country-
men had been duped : and he predicted that, " though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar;
that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea ; " and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public DOW know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore liremer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement that " 290,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN Plums° still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocer. s and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
aloneimports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing. so
that there, is now scarce one hut has his " Howqua's,'" Mowqua s," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Agains
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-
tain Pidding, 22, College-hill, London.
