GUANo SHIPS AT THE CHNoHAs.-A cores
pendent of the Boston Post, gives the follow
ing good advice to guano merchants, who are
about to send out ships to the Chincha Islands
"For the benefit Of your guano friends ]
wish to say they had better bring plenty Of
water casks and water-say even more than
they want themselves; also scow, or large
boats, as there are so many ships here all the
loading is done with boats. The water they
can dispose Of readily at the Chinchas to ad
vantage, also the surplus casks. Some folks
have missed it, as il is, while others who were
posted have been more shrewd. They may say
at home that government will furnish boats
So they will, and tell you TO go and get them
You 20, and find them with bottoms out and
not worth repairing. No freights can now be
procured for guano TO the United States; 10
England they are failing"

the exchangeable value of money. Ina time Of
ignorance and whenconcealment was necessary
in important transactions, and when compact
nestness of bulk was great element Of value,
1t is but natural that jewels, precious stones,
and money had peculiar power. Under such
circumstances it is not to be wondered at per-
haps, that attempts were made to clog the ac-
tiyity Of money by special usury regulations.
The time has come when all these barbarous
notions ought to be exploded. The fact that
they are permitted to manifest themselves on
the pages of our statute books is becoming to
be a reproach--an ugly and ill-favored anon
oily on that liberal and progressive CONNER
cial and financial system which has trium-
phantly sustained the wisdom of the Democra-
tic party. We hope that the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the House Of Representatives will act
promptly on Mr.. Boyce's resolution of in,
quiry; and we trust that its action will harmo-
nize with the spirit of the times. Much, and
perhaps most of the existing commercial en-
barrassment which harnesses the country, may
be traced to the operation of the usury laws.
The dangerous issue of bank paper, which
is the immediate cause Of the present pres
ure is intimately connected with the gov
ernmeut restrictions on the use of money
intimately connected with the usury laws
which disturb the operations of trade, and which
hasten reyulsions when they do not originate
them. There is no virtue in restrictions,
and nothing but harm can come from monop-
oily legislation. But it was not our object to
discuss this subject fully, or even to begin
discussion Of the points involved. Our pur-
pose was to call attention to the important
movement which Mr.. Boyce has made, and to
tender him our thanks for that movement.
When the usury question comes up for consid-
Grafton, we will not forget to express our views
for we regard it as the most important one con-
nected with finance and commerce which has
been considered by the country since l846.

GA STATUE of surprising merit. Its power and
pathos are independent of time place, and condi-
ton. The charm and power OF the statue con-
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements of humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives us all the pathos and
the tragedy of death without its ghastliness and
horror We feel ourselves in the presence OF that
awful Power before whose icy sceptre all mortal
distinctions are levelled. No statue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
for effect No vulgar applause is courted, and
the decency and dignity OF truth are scrupulously

"a wonderful production of art. Its simplicity
is such that il does not strike at first the admlra-
ton comes aflerward, and in tide sufficiently
deep and strong. II is the moment OF exhaustion,
OF faintness, of death.n-Mrs Ellis.
This statue is indissolubly associated with
Byron's immortal stanza:
see before me the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon his hand-his manly brow
Consents TO death, but conquers agony,
And his droop'd head sinks gradually low
And through his side the last drops, ebbing
slow
From the red cash, fall heavy, one by one,
Like the first OF thunder-shower; and now
The arena swms around him-he is gone,
Ere ceased the inhlman shout which hail'd the
wretch who won.
He heard it, but he needed not--his eyes
Were with his heart and that was far away;
He reck'd not of the life he lost nor prize,
But where his rude hut by the Danube lay
There were his young barbarians all at play,
There was their Dacian mother--he their sire,
Buicher'd to make Roman holiday
All tins rush'd with his blood Shall he expire,
And unavenged? Arise We Goths, and glut
your ire

NJ sick Headache Remedy.-A re

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recentlyofered
tothe public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
It's efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af-
licted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy Of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has atractedthe attention
oall sufferers from headache who have heard Of il.
From our own knowledge Of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med.
cine deserves the favor Il receives and that will
prove to be great benefit 10 all who may give il
trial.-Lvnn Netos, December %, 1853.
