TIE AMxRIcAN GUASo ISLANDS. The Journal Of
Commerce learns that the American Guano Com
pany has despatched an agent to the Pacific with
instructions to bring to Panama load Of guano
from either of the islands which it recently brought
to the notice of the public, in connection with the
visit Of Commodore Mervine in the United States
ship Independence; and arrangements have been
made with the Panama Railroad Company to for
ward the same, at the rate Of IS per ton. In case
of success such is anticipated, it is thought this
route will be the channel for future importatons,
as vessels can make three voyages a year from the
islands to Panama, instead of one to New York !:
and an inferior class of vessels can be employed
compared with such as would be required for the
