BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA CENTRAL
RAILROAD The Philadelphia American,
speaking of this road, which is already in
operation between that city and Westchcster,
refers at length TO its connection. adds:
The first and most obvious connection is
with the Baltimore and Ohio road, which, if
il should be made at Baltimore, will give the
line no better footing than its com petitor,
whereas, if it builds a branch north of the
city. from Govanstown to Elysvile. it may
have an advantage. BY extending this branch
from Elysvie to Rockville, and there connect
ing with the Metropolitan railroad through
line would be opened from Philadelphia 10
Washington city, which would be preferred
by all passengers from the populous States of
the north and east. as 1t would avoid the
detention at Baltimore.

The +. l.. Frost. with one of the firm OF

islands, having been cnincntly successful
Some thirty or forty different islands were
visited between the ATTITUDES % deg. N and
3 deg. S., and longiludes $50 deg. and 165
deg. On five of the islands large deposits oil
guano were found, and specimens brought
here. which have been declared by competent
judges to be equal if not superior to the best
kinds of Jarvis Island Messrs. Williams &
Co.. being American citizens, have sent IN
their claims to the Department of State, in &C.
cordance with the act of Congress of August
Is, 1856 MIR. Williams will at once proceed
to make arrangements for taking off cargocs
of the guano. Thus it can be seen that
guano bids fair to be King in the Pacific and
to overshadow the already waning whaling
interest.
