A New Gunno Opposite Discovered by
Americans.

Advices from st. Thomas by the last West India
mail give SOME particulars Of the guano discovery
lately made in that vicinity at a spot called Ayes
or Bird Island, stated to belong to the Dutch gov
eminent The deposite was found by the master Of
an American ship, called the Kentucky, and the
quantity is said to be equal to 900 or 400 900
tons, while its quality approaches that Of the Chin
cha Islands.
Two American vessels the Kentucky and the
Comery, were already taking cargoes from 1t, and
they are said TO have landed fifty men to occupy
the place. and to drive off intruders, with two
pieces Of cannon. If the estimates Of quantity and
quality should be realized the value of the island
win be very great, but the locality scarcely war
rants an expectation of the deposites being nearly
equal TO the Peruvian. AYES Island Is one of the
eeward group Of the West Indies, and lies between
the 18th and 18th degrees of north latitude, and
6Sd and cath degrees OF west longitude.
The island here referred 10 lies cast Of St Thorn
ms, towards Barbados, and has been frcquented
more or less for mauy years past by birds'-egg-
hunters The island forms sort of BASIN with rock
bound rim towards the sea- and Is frequented daily
during certain seasons of the year BY myriads Of
ses-brds to lay their eggs The egg-hunters from
the neghborng islands 20 there with anal sloops.
and upon their arrival proceed 10 break al the
eggs that they find, and then retire. On the fol-
lowing day they return, and load their vessels with
eggs that have been laid over night In the course
OF thirty hours they win sometmes take up be-
tween one hundred and City and two hundred
thousand eggs. The reason they break the eggs
