THE GUANo Muss AT BALTIMORE.

We are told that the agent of the Pc
ruvian Government at Baltimore, Mr..
Barada, threatens to remove his agency
for Guano from Baltimore to Norfolk.
This threat is occasioned by the desire
Of the authorities of the State of Mary
land to appoint their own sworn Weigher
of Guano, for the protection of those who
may buy the article. To this Mr.. Barada
objects, saying, if the State of Maryland
will not allow him to appoint his own
IS the business Of the Inspector of Guano
not only to see that the article is
genuine, but also to weigh it, that
buyers may not be imposed upon. We
think the position of Mr.. Barada an I'M
warrantable assumption that will not
be submitted to any where. It has come
to pretty pass, when the agent of a
foreign power demands the privilege of
appointing the officers OF our State gov.
ernments.

PIE RSONAL.

1.-THE Coast Survey steamer Legare, Lieu
tenant j. N. Mafit, son of the late Rev. j. n.
Maftit, commanding, sailed from Charleston on
the 23d, to take temperature soundiugs in the
Gulf stream. Lieut.. Mafit has lately been
surveying the new channel into Charlest ton
harbor which hears his name, and found that
it had gained two feet in depth since 1852.
-. Archibald c. Reynolds, Esq, distin-
guished Wing politician of New York, died on
Inursuay last ageu % years.
80. Hugh Jameson, Naval Storekeeper at

....Major Wyse, of the Sd Artillery, is now
under arrest On Governors Island, New York,
for disobedience of orders. He was in COM
mand Of the troops for California which sail
ed in the Falcon, but refused to 90 out in that
boat, as he did not consider her seaworthy.
....Hon. C. III. Straub, requests US to say
that he has been suddenly called home by the
unexpected death of relative.
....D. Il. Craig of the associated press, con-
fesses that he resorted to the contemplate
trick of furnishing ''nung news for the New
York evening press, in order to deceive their
readers Pass him round
1--WE should judge that Mons Franconi is
gifted with uoiquity, for we see he has a Hip
podrome in this city and Cincinnati and
performs at both places on the same DAYS and
at the same moments.
80. The Washington Union SAYS No
longer ago than April, 1852, Col Benton riGi
culed and denounced the very Missouri Com
promise he now processes to adore He then
said ''it was laid in the tomb of the Capulets.
that it was despised, and treated by judicial
decisions as a nullity and that nobody need
to set up such little clay gods for him to wor
ship.
....Hon. E. B. Morgan, of New York, has
been detained from his seat in the House for
several weeks by the illness of his daughter,
and will necessarily be absent some days still
in consequence of this bereavement.
I'VE find by the Boston papers that @Ned

THE WEEKLY STAR

All who like to see capital paper, arc
invited to examine the Weekly Star for
to-day. 1t is decidedly the best number
OF any paper ever published in this Sec
ton of the country. Its items are fresh,
piquant and truthful; its news late, COM
prehensive and varied; its tales moral,
instructive and entertaining. The amount
and variety OF reading matter in this jour-
nal is not surpassed by any paper pub
lished at the same price in the country.
The Weekly Star is published at the
low price of ONE DOLLAR and TWENTY
FIVE CENTS . year in advance.

THE STEAMER CITY OF GLASGOW.

There seems to bevery little probability
that the steamer reported to have been
seen Oft Castle Island, Bahamas, was the
Getty of Glasgow" The Philadelphia
Inquirer states that George Matthew,
Esq, the British Consul at this port, and
who was for several years Governor of the
Bahama Islands, after giving the matter
careful consideration, is of the opinion
that the steamship seen by the vessel at
New York, from Jamaica, was British
war-propeller, waiting at the entrance of
the "Castle Island, of Mayaguana Pass,
to intercept slavers on their way to Cuba.
and he further states that the bulWarks
OF such men-ot-war are, as we'll as the
ship, generally painted black outside, and
inside buff or yellow. The fact of hay-
ing her yards square, and the vessel be-
ing without any appearance of accident,
rather confirms this view. Mr.. M. further
states that all that vicinity swarms with
wreckers, and it is therefore rational to
suppose that fast sailing schooner would
have been instantly despatched to the
nearest American port, to telegraph the
news of her safety to Philadelphia, if the
steamer seen were really the "City of
Glasgow"
The Inquirer adds also, that captain
who arrived at that port some days since,
also saw the steamer reported by the
journal Of Commerce; but he supposed
her to be one of the British West India
steamers, or British war-vessel, there
fore he did not think it worth while to
report the matter on his arrival.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
of last evening, says:
'"The British mail steamer Curlew ar
rived this morning from St. Thomas and
Bermuda. She makes no report of the
City of Glasgow having been heard of in
the vicinity of the West India islands.
Letters from mercantile house in St.
John S, Newfoundland. as late as the 18th
instant, were received in this city YES
terday. No tidings of the missing ship
had reached there, nor was anything
known other at the several outposts along
the coast"

A CARD.

Msssrs. Editors Of the Star:
GENTLEMEN Not wishing to burden your
columns with my personal affairs. 1 would
simply state that I am possessed of abundant
proof of the truth of my statement, published
in the Star of Tuesday, and of having fulfilled
all my part Ofthe contract. As to the person al
scurrility respecting myself contained in Mr.
N. r. Stimson's card in yesterdays Star I. of
course, have only to say that it will receive
such notice as it requires When ingratitude
unites itself with blackguardism, they cannot
be effectually dealt with at so great distance
as from Washington to New York
Yours, very sincerely,

An acquittal will place an indellible

they infict it. An acquittal will be a
declaration that law is mockery that

his superiors, if placed in an humber
