The Guano Convention which met at Wash

session that evening, The time principally
occupied in relation to agricultural experiences.
The delegates generally represented the next
crops of their several countries decidedly bad
from insects and the drought
A resolution was adopted thanking the Presi-
dent and Mr. Marcy for their Jealous participa-
ton to effect such treaty with Peru, regarding
guano, as will prove most advantageous to farm
ers. Thus the Convention, we anticipated,
was unable to settle exactly how Peruvian guano
is to be made cheaper.
Mr. Calvert laid before the Convention the copy
of communication addressed to the Secretary of
State by J. Randolph Clay, minister to Peru,da-
ted Lima, April 9Th, 1856. stating pretty much
the facts heretofore given by the Peruvian minis
ter, to the effect that exception is mnde in Ia
vor ofany foreign nation of its citizens IN the
guano trade of his Cover lnent. and that no for
picners are allowed to take guano from the
islands at stipulated price. the whole being ex-
ported on account ofihe government, and sold in
foreign markets by agents. who receive com
mission for charterng vessels and on tho sale OF
the article. Peruvian citizens are permitted TO
take from the Chincha Islands and "Pabellion Pr
en- without charge. sufficient quantity for the
agriculture of the country; but the government
il very careful to prevent any portion OF being

The dispatch of Mr.. Clay was accompanied

friend in Lima showing the manner OF using gu
ana in the agriculture of that district. The price
