Guano and Poudrette.-The first named and
the world-renowned fertizing agent, has been so
productive of full crops in this neighborhood and
the adjoining counties Of Maryland and Virginia,
that the demand for it is constantly,i undressing.
The supply Of late, however, has become extreme
" limited; and hence many agricuturists are dis
appointed in their calculations.
Two ships arrived at Baltimore on Saturday
from Calao, each bringing cargo Of guano con-
signed to F. Barreda 81 Brother, Of that city. This
is good news to cultivators Of the soil, and espe-
ciav 10 those who have heretofore, with but little
success, been endeavoring to coax abundant fruit
age from poor and wasted lands.
During debate in the board of aldermen Of this
city lately, il was stated by one Of the members
physician that potdrette could easily be manufac-
,ured by the application of copperas and plaster OF
paris 10 the other ingredient This description OF
manure is inferior only the guano, and is extern
sively made use Of in the northern part OF our
country. 1t might, to great extent be adopted
as a substitute for the foreign favoritc. Besides
this, the health of communities thickly populated,
could not but be improved by conversion OF
scavengerage into pomdrettc.
II was once proposed TO our city councils to
commence its manufacture, under municipal en-
enlargement, but like many other good sugges-
lions, it was disregarded by the Fathers" who
were not sufficiently impressed with the import
ance of the subject.

Proceedings in Magistrates Court.-It

Proceedings In a Magistrates Court.--It
will be recollected that several weeks ago. while
Mr.. Savage was addressing crowd on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, on the subject Of temperance, MIR.
A. Hunter, conceiving that his household had been
unjustly assaed by the orator, Indignantly re-
scented the insult by hurting at him several eggs,
one Of which, il solemnly proved, was de-
cidedly ''bad" For this offence, Mr.. Hunter was
required to give bail for his appearance during the
next term of the criminal court
AS an offset 10 this proceeding, Mr.. Hunter,
Gently, caused warrant TO issue against Mr..
Savage for making use Of Indecent and obscene
words" on the Cd Of October; and this was the
case Justice Grub, on Monday evening, pro-
ceeded 10 try.
The counsel Of Mr. Hunter was Colonel Thomp-
son. while officer John Davis acted for the corpo-
ration. Mr.. Savage was represented by Justice
John ID. Clarke, one Of the Oldest officers in the
cod-water army.
Much interest was excited in the proceedings.
The little Office was crowded with the friends of
the parties at issue; but one form was scarcely
distingushable from another, there being arti-
fetal light save the sckly glare Of tallow candle,
laziy reflected from the elevated desk Of the
magistrate.
Several "points' arose and We're warmly de-
bated by the opposing counsel when the witnesses,
long string Of them, were called; but none could
establish the truth Of the charge applicable TO
the day named in the writ. There seemed to be
mistake in the date; the period of the eggthrow-
ing affording no clue to the exact period. Sharp
words passed between the respective counsel, but
no blows were dealt; and the affair was wound
up by the dismissal of the case.
Justice Clarke Immediately seized the candle,
and fastened to an adjoining room to look for his
hat leaving the court and counsel, and spectators,
in total darkness Bring back the light y ex-
claimed an old gentleman in the crowd; can't
find my hat!' said another; Light !" light =
sung the multitude in chorus, until the aforesaid
candle was returned to the desk. There was then
an overhanling of umbrellas, a putting on Of hats,
and rush TO the door to inhae the fresh though
damp, air.
They that won rejoiced, while the opposite par
ties were otherwise affected.

Health Security.-An American traveller men
tons the fact that while in England he noticed
that the ladies of that country actually wear, IN
rainy weather shoes with soles half an inch thick
and it is remarked that colds, aches, consumption,
death itself, could not force American ladies' to
adopt so ridiculous fashion. Our far ones,
however, pay more attention TO their footing
now than they did twenty or less number OF
wears ago, when prunella shoes Were worn by
them both in summer and winter, including dry
weather and wet. They do wear shoes somewhat
imperyious to cold and dampness; but we should,
for their own sakes, like to further improve
ment in this respect No one will deny that they
are the more delicate ofthe sexes, yet heretofore,
fashion has imposed upon them, contrary to the
laws Of health, an insufficient guard against DIS
ease and death. We trust that progress, IN ITS
triumphant strides, will soon overtake them with
all its comfortable influences.
