The outlook for vessels chartered to
load Peruvian guano is much brighter
than it was . short time since. The
intelligence received from Csllao, rela-
tive to the amount of gusno being
shipped from the Lobos Islands is very
cheering, and it will relieve the minds
of many shipowners Of much anxiety.
There can BE- no certainty, however,
with regard to this trade until the war
between Chile and Peru is ended. Ad.
vice may be given to the two powers.
and other Governments may forward
the protests Of merchants and shipown.
ers against the acts of the contestants,
with the expressed wish that these pro-
tests be respected; but in spite of these
efforts the carrying interest will suffer
as long as the war lasts.

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICERS.
Oakland has little to be proud of in
any of her city officers, aud one at least
she ought TO flush for. At the last
election the better class gave way to
the workipgmens candidates, and the
result was that nearly all the city Off.

fighting began in the streets. The Ma

erected barracks and fortified many
houses. They killed the Minister Of
War who was trying to disperse the
mob. One July lst President Csbsl
requested the British Consul to Assem-
bic his foreign colleagues in order to
confer with the rebels. The United
States Minister and French Charge
dAfairs only complied with the re-
quest, the others pleading risk Of life
from bullets. which were raining
around, therefore the representatives
OF England, France and the United
States alone entered into conference
with the rebels. President Cabal Of
fered the rebels full pardon end leave
to embak unmolested for any port they
desired. They stoutly refused these
conditions and fighting continued. On
July ID the President again resorted to
the services of the diplomatic body.

St Marie and Arcatsic rose in insurrec-
