GUANo.-We understand that further large and
valuable deposits of guano in the vicinity of Jarvis
and Bakers Islands, have been discovered, and for
nal possession has been taken of the Islands bv the
citizens of the United States, in pursuance of the
act of Congress passed in 1856. Among these is
lands thus taken possession Of and now pertaining

LoRD DERBY AND THE CHURcH.-It is said that
Lord Derby's nomination of the Rev. Harvey Good
win to the deanery of Ely has been received with
the Church of England Mr.. Goodwin is stated to
belong to the school of divinity which is known in
the Establishment as "The Broad Church, A
correspondent of a metropolitan contemporary
says 1.-The appointments of Mr.. Duncombe to the
deanery of York and Mr.. Goodwin to the deanery
of Ely have impressed all parties in the church
with the belief that in the of all the ecclesias
tica dignties which fall to the gift of Lord Derby
he will appoint men of no distinctive religious
views, and that neither the Evangeicals the one
hand nor the Tractarians the other will have any
chance of promotion from him.

EDUCATE YOUR DAUGHrERs-A writer says: hen lived among the Cloctaw Indians. I held consultation with one of their chiefs re. sspectIng the successive stages of their progress in the arts of civilized life e; and, among oth.r things he informed me, that at their first start .hey feh into great mistake--they only SCI their boys to school. These boys became ii tell'gent men, but they married ureducat q and uncivi!ized wives, and the uniform result was, that the children were all like their not!.- ccr Tllas the f,ther soon loses all interest in both wife ard children
 And now," sad he, eff we would educate bnt one class of our children, we should choose the girls. for when they become mothers they would educate the;r sons." This is the point, and it is true No nation can become fully and permanently civilized and enlightened when the mothers are not in a good dcgr qualified to discharge the duties of the home work of education.

A MIsER's PRAYER.-The following singu- lar prayer was made by John Ward, of Hack ney, England. The document which was found in Wards own handwriting, might be called the Misers Prayer. It is one of the exanl- pies on record of men combining ;n themselves the utmost fnnatieistn, with the total absence of any thing like moral feeling
 70, Lord, thou knowest that have nius estates in the city of London, and likewise that have lately purchased an estate in fee simple in the county of Essex besecch theo to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquakes and as have a mortgage in Hertfordslire, beg of thee to have an eye of compassion on that county and for the rest of the counties tlou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased c, Lord, enable all the banks to answer all their bills, and make my debtors good men. Give prosperous voyage and return to the Mermaid soop, because have insured it and as thou hast said the days of the wicked are but short, trust in thee that thou wilt not forget thy promise, as I have purchased an estate in revyrsion, which will be mine upon the death of that profieatc young man, Sir l.. l.. Keep my hands from sinking and pre- serve me from thieves and house breakers and make all my servants so honest and faithfrl that they may attend to my interests and ney- CT cheat me out of my property, night aud day" ~-...--

months, it was proved to have been stolen some nine months before, from the respected President of the Board of Conncmen, ard the thief is now serving out his twelve months imprisonment
 Among other valuable articles that have been more recently recovered are cameo breastpin worth $T5, seut to Charleston, S. c. to be identified, and pair of bracelets worth $50, sent to Baltimore. Both have been re- turned with aifi.iavits of ownership, to be used as evidence against the supposed thief An- other ot those articles was a very valuable gold watch, which I have advertised three times, describing il in such a way that, while tie owner could at once recognize it. no other person conld describe it from the advertise ment have this day received letter from gentleman in Tennessee, informing me that his daughter was the owner of such Q watch, which was sent by friend in July last to Phil adelphla for repairs, and was stolen from his trunk at the hotel
 The total valne of property that has passed through this office cannot now be stated. as the worth of ouly part of the articles can now be estimated. Of the first six hundred lots received, the value of one hundred and fifty, embracing, however, all the most valt.able lots, has been estimated at thirty thousand dollars l have now commenced to ascertain as nearly as possible, and enter on the books, the value of each article when received, and to correct that estimate, if necessary, when each article is delivered to the lawful claimant This will enable ne, in any future report, to state with more deiiniteness and accuracy, the value of all property received and delivered each week or month.
 It gives me great pleasure to be able to state that in all my arduous and sometimes pcrplexing duties, have been uniformly sup ported and encouraged hy the Commissioners and by the jndcious counsels of the General and Deputy Supcrintendents, and that all the Inspectors and officers of every grade, without any exception, to nay knowledge, have prompt ly co-operated to secure the great purposes for which this property department was created

A VERY REMARKABLE THEoRy.-A MT. Mooney has been delivering lecture on the or- ig'n ot gold, concerning which he propouur.l the following novel theory "I set out l declaring my belief that gold is the petriicu remains of matter which was once animate and accompanied as it generally is by ocean pebbles, quartz, crystal and other saline and marine debris, 1 am of opinion that gold is tho petriiied fat or marrow of peculiar fish that once foated over the god fields when tlies, fields were beds and bottoms of the great ocean," In proof of the hypothesis that gold is nothing more than the "petriied' fat of a peculiar fish, the lecturer showed specimens of quartz in which marine shells were mbedded Mir. Mooney also alluded to the fact that iron exists in the human blood, and argued iron, that position that gold might be .educed from the marrow of fskes !-lfel5ourns Argus.
 One well established fact is worth more than thousand vague aud visionary fish stories Gold was originally created, as we'll as all oth. er substances, by tho Almighty.
