GuANo.-The London n...,es has the follow
ing upon the prola' ility Of the guano supply e.v
out on account Of the extraordinary demand for
it from every quarter of the globe
Now let us look Mt annual consumption
In the ten years to 1852, the entire quantity of
guano of all kinds imported was ,0l0,92S tons.
But during the three years the consumption of
Peruvian guano has considerably increased. The
average annual importation into the country for
these three years has deem 1926 tons, and 81
l5l tons to other countries. say 2UO,OO0 tons
altogether, nj which race the Chncha islands
would last fifty Years yet. Ii we add the other
deposits on the Peruvian eoast,as above mention
ed, we have supply, at the present rate of con.
sumption, for the neat ninety to one hundred
years to come.
But suppose the trade were opened, and that
the consequence should be increase of fifty per
cent. 10 the annual export from Peru, there would
still remain thirty -four years supply from the
Chincha's, and upwards of sixty years supply
from all sources ON the Peruvian coast.

cit is impossible now to dissemble the i'm :.
portance OF existing circumstances; every one
knows that The emperor of Russia will accept
neither congress nor arbitration. He no Ion.
ger takes the trouble ofconceaIing his policy
he acts; and the men most devoted to Rus
STA, the most firm believers in the continuation
OF peace, announced yesterday morning the
impossibility Of pacific solution. The world
must, therefore. make up tie mind for great
misfortune-for w"r. We are often designa-
Ted by onr adversaries as the war party
when, however. SO many eyes were closed to
the light, we had the common sense to think
that, after the violent conduct Of the car, it
was not probable or possible that he would
make any amende honorable Neither was it

provinces was mere political accident All
