AFRICAN Guano—As considerable interest is now felt ,in the Importation of guano from Africa, which, it is ,eaid, will probably exceed 30,000 tons this year, by ves- ivsels that have sailed. from Liverpool, the Clyde, Hull,

London, and various other ports, we furnish some few particulars of the spot whence the article is brought, the position of which is not generally known. The African guano is found at Angra Peguina, on the western coast , of the African continent, a considerable distance on- this (the northern) side of the Cape of Good Hope. That part of the coast has hitherto been little, if at all, known by our navigators, except in occasionally seeing it an possum when on the way to or from the Cape. 'l‘here ‘ is here “ a break" of the land, or bay lorming several small harbours, and trending to the south, protected, at that end, from the west by a neck of land stretched rrortb- ward. It is seventeen leagues to the southward (S. by E.) of“ Spencer’s Bay." The outer point of the neck, on the S. W., is called “ Pedestal Point," and is dis- ,tinguished by a pedestal of a marble cross, erected by Bartholomew Daiz, in 1486, which is still conspicuous from the offing. This point is in latitude 26 deg. 38 min. 24 sec. 8.; long, [5 deg. 2 min. 20 sec. E. At a league to the Eastward is Angra Point, of? which there is a cluster of rocks. The coast between lornrs a cove. ,open to the N. and N. W., and in the middle ol'which there is anchorage in six or seven lathniiis, with a fine sandy bottom, and sheltered from the S. E., S., and S. W. winds. Spring tides rise front seven to eight feet. The N. E. point ofAngra Point is 6:} miles E. N. E. (north east) from Pedestal Porrrt. To the southward ,ofthe north east potnt, are three islets, placed from north- ward to southward, nearly in a line, and, judging from .V the charts, we should say resembling in position and respective size the masts of a ship. Thaton the north ,is called “ Sela Island ;” the middle and largest is “Perr- nin Island ;” and the southern or smallest is ” Shark sland.” Each, with the point itself, is bounded with rocks, but there are passages between with a depth of from three to five fathoms. The northern part is halfa league broad, and the best channel is between Seal and Penguin, the two northern islets. Within Angra Point, on the east and south of these islands, there is another islet, extending five miles to the southward. The en- .trance to this, between the point and Shark Island, is half a league broad. The desert island at which the guano is found is " Penguin,” (Anglice) the larger of, the three named. At the time of the sailing ofthe Le- venside on the 23d Dec.. and since arrived at our port, as elsewhere noticed, with a cargo of guano, there were in the cove fift’een British merchautmen, all loading, “ and (says the Dumfries Courier,) the sight of their union jacks floating on shores hitherto almost unvisited but by a stray sealer, whilst a busy colony of sailors plied their labours, untrammelled by custom-house or other regulations, must have recalled the thoughts of Colum- bus and his band of adventurers seeking the riches of .the new found isles of America.” On the same day on which the arrival of the Levenside was reported here, .the Star of theWest, from the same place, with guano, arrived at Plymouth. With respect to the comparative ,qualities of the African and the Peruvian guano, it has been stated to us by dealers, that the latter is superior (though of the same general nature,) containing more ,of the ammonia, in which consists its principal vegeta- tive powers. This is accounted for, "not so much from ,any difi‘erence in thevoriginal deposite, as from the na- ,ture.,of the respective climates. It is said that in that ,part of Peru in which it is found, no rain ever falls; that ,at Angro Pequina there are very heavy periodical rains, which tend to rob it of its virtues.

Dow, JUNIOR, on MARRIAGE—lily dear young fellow ,mortals—the path of existence is a rough one; and it ,musn’t be run over in a hurry. Take your time—pick your ways, and keep your eyes open—and you will ar- rive at the end ofyour journey, without getting sore footed, and perfectly satisfied with whatever acids may have been mingled with the saccharine juices of life—- Don’t be too eager to get rich. Take your time for that -—and above all, take your pick out of those lovely cari- didates fer matrimony, which adorn the fair dominion _of maidenhood. The girls are beautiful blossoms, that bud and bloom spontaneously, as it were, along the lone- ly walks of celibacy. Grasp them not too hastily, least you be pierced with thorns—and remember, too, that .the fairest and sweetest flowers the soonest lose their beauty and fragrance. Therefore, take your time, and look for feminine posres, from which you may extract ,the essence of admiration even whenthey become with- ered in autumn, and their gay coronals of outward at- .traction shall have fallen faded to the earth. If you can't do this, kiss where you can, and charge me with the damage. My young beloved sisters in sin—l know you .all have an itching desire to get married! and I fairi would see you happy in the sacred house of Hymen, and your hearts garlanded with the never fading wreaths of .love. (But just wait your time, my dears, or your pros- pects of matrimony will be as slim as a crop of corn in a cow pasture. If you flirt with fools, and follow the gentlemen instead of waiting for the gentlemen to follow you—you will probably soon be compelled to take your time, and percliance be left to decay, wither and dry up

,in the cold ungenial atmosphere of neglect. Act with.

becoming modesty—sir. still upon the blooming banks of love’s limpid waters, as you throw out your enticing fliesfor its fish to bite at—,—don’t run up and down the stream in search of suckers; they merely smell of the bait and never bitch on; but keep quiet, wait with pa-

,tiepcc, and you may silent gets catfish for your pains.

IRISH STATISTICS.—Tll€l'e are in Ireland 8,,175,l24 persons, inhabiting 1,328,839 houses; ofthose persona. 2,385,000 are absolute paupers, and oftherr dwellings, l,024,275 are mud cabins. Out of this population. 625,‘ 350 families, numbering 3,470,725 persons, live in 49l ,- 278 mud cabins or hovels, consisting of one room only,

where the door serves also for chimney and window. 8: fording an outlet to the smoke and to the families, an an entrance to light, pigs, and children. Out of the

ants, seven millions belong tothe and the wages of the labouring

agricultural population, ary from fourpence to ten-

portion of this vast majority v ' h pence per day in the west and south, and Item cig t-

ence to a shilling per day in the north. ,Apcordiug to the third Report of the Commissioners' Inquiry into the condition of the Poor, the average wages of an agricul- tural labourer in Ireland are from 2s. to '23. 6d. per weak. and in England, from 85. to 105 per week. . Out of the total resident population, after deducting children undcr five years of age, the Commissioners return 3,766,006 as unable to read or write. There are about twenty millions of acres in Ireland, of which fourteen millions are planted or cultivated, and the rest left waste, and five out of these six millions are reclaimable. The entire rental ofIreland is estimated at twenty—one millions an- nually, to which may be erlded half a million for the an- nual dividends on the capital of the Joint-stock Com- panies. The aggregate value of Irish exports 'to. Eng- land has been estimated by the Railway Commissioners at rather more than sixteen millions annually, almost ex- clusively raw produce; there are not accurate data for determining the imports. In December, 1843, the num- ber ofmilitary in Ireland was 2|,20l, the naval force 2,350, and the con'tahulary 9,043. The cost of the military force is estimated at 802,44“, ofthe naval ar- rnameiit at I08,500l., and ofthe police 5l2.5"5l-i lhe charge ofthe civil establishments is 2,I37,253l., and as the revenua of Ireland averages about 4,500.0lllll., the surplus is not sufficient to pay the interest ofthat portion ofthe national debt for which Ireland was made respon- sible by the Act of Union.

ROMAN CATHOLICISM IN GREAT BRITAIN—Tiled 3% man Catholic Directory’ for IS“ contains a statistical table, showing the present condition of Romanism in England, so far as it can be gathered from an account of the number of places of worship, colleges' and corr- vents. The total‘uumber of“ churches and chapels" in England and Wales, according to this table, is 506; and in Scotland. 7‘2; besides 27 staiiorrs where Divine ser- vice is performed. Allowing an average congregation of300 persons to each ofthese places of worship, which probably raiher exceeds than urrderraies the fact, we find that in England. Wales, and Scotland, the entire Roman Catholic wrirshippers do not much exceed 180.- 000, out of a population of 19,000,000. Lancashire contains by far the largest number of Romish chapels. In that county there are 97; while in Bedfordsbire, there is but I, in Gloucestershire, only 7'. in Oxfordshire, 7; in Herefordshire, 3; in Wiltslrire 3; and in Wor- cestershire, l3. It also appears that there are 8 Roman Catholic colleges in England. and I in Scotland ;.26 convents, and 3 monasteries. The number of“ misston- aty priests” ofthis faith it) Great Britain, is 740.

The Universal Gazctlc of Leipsic states frotn Rome, that it is proposed by the Papal Court to create in the East Indies a “ filial central establishment for the pro- pagation ol the faith.”

Dr. Paris has been elected President of the College of Physicians, in the rooru of the late Sir Henry Halforl.

0N 'rns Use or. ENVELOPES.—Some observations of a very important character were made on Wednesday, by Chief Justice Tindal, in the Court of Common Pleas, to the obstacles which present themselves in courts ol law, by the use of envelopes. “ It often occurred,” said his lordship, “that evidence was shutout, iir consequence ofcommuiiications being enclosed in envelopes, and the difficulty in identifying the enclosure with the super- scriptioiis. Mr 'l‘liesiger, Q. C., and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, fully concurred with the learned judge.

WHICH was THE GREATER Foot. l—In a sermon, preached by Bishop Hall, upon his eightieth birthday, he relates the following story: “There was a certain lord who kept afoul in his house, as many great men did in those days for their pleasure, to whom this lord gave a staff, and charged him to keep it till he should meet with one who was a greah-r fool than himself; and if he met with suclt none, t’o deliver it over to him. Not many years after, his Lord fell sick : and indeed was sick un- to death. His .fool came to see him, and was told by his sick lord, that he tnust now shortly leave him. ‘And whither wilt thou go I’ said the fool. ‘ Into another world,’ said the lord. ‘ And when wiltthou come again? within a mouth?’ ‘ No.’ ‘ Within a year ’I' ‘No.’ ‘ When, ihen?’ ‘ Never.’ ‘Never! and what provi< sion hast thou made for thy entertainment there, whither thou goest’l’ ‘ None at all.’ ‘ No 7' said the fool, ‘none at all ’l—Here,-iake my stafi'tlren. Art thou going away for ever, and hast taken no order, whence thou shalt

never return? Take my staff, for I am not guilty of any such folly as this.’ ”

Rely upon it, notoriety is the way to succeed in life. Ask whether the late Mr. Day, if he had not made his liquid as black in the newspapers as it was white upon the wall, would have died worth hall's million of money. People do riot know their wants till they are reminded of them; advertising is as healthy and wholesome as quick circulation ofthe blood; all, therefore, who de- sire to Sell, should appear in the highway which the colutnns ofa newspaper afford to the public. -

01’ A CASE

THE FAMILY LIFE MEDICINES.

Aug , 1843

THE celebrated Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters. pre

pared and sold by Dr. Wm. B. Mot‘fat,375, Broadway, New York may now be said to be the most re eclably established and extensively adopted family medicines in the sliriited States. They have not only won'the sanction and recommendation ofall the candid and philanthro ic eorlion ofthe medical profession, who have observed theirinvarialile afl‘icpcy in general dcrangcments ofthe stomach and bowels, and their stonishing effects in many varieties of acute and chronic disease, but that is far better, these medicines have recommended themselves, and fully 'and fairly achieved the distinguished and now certainly pro-eminent position which they. now occupy iir public and domestic estimation. They are proved by their works, and make no appeals to vulgar credulity. Ifthe proprietor were disposed to make an invitlious comparison be tween these self-established medicines and any others, he might confi- dently assert and challenge contradiction that there is no medicine known to the medical protessiorr, or named in their books, concerning which so many clear, unquestionable and conclusive evidences ofuse- fulness and remarkable cures are recorded as those which he can adduce concerninglhe Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters. Ifil be admitted that suf- ferers are the bestjudgcs as to whether a remedy has relieved them and restored them to health and strength, then is the evidence in behalf or these medicines decisive and irresistible. Dr.Mofi'at is in possession of an immense accumulation of voluntary testimonials from respectable persons and families in all parts of the Union, far and near, who give their names and resrdence to the unsolicited statement that they have been completely and speedily cured of the following diseases, and of many others'nol here enumerated, by these Life Medicines alone, when other medicines had been long,r employed in vain. viz: Scrofula. in its most dreadlully advanced and destructive stages, when large ortions of the flesh and bones ofthe-face had been destroyed; Piles of ve ten twen- ty, thirty and even thirty-five 'oars standing; Rheumatism, both, acute and chronic, of the. most hopel’ess character; Turgescence of the Liver and various other liver complaints; Bilious Cholic, and every conceive: ble variety pfbllious affections; Marasmus 'l‘alies,or Decline, and Moras- mus Phtlnsrc, or Consumption, in more advanced stages than an ' on record; Dyspepsia, in all its chronic and acute varieties, with its frr ht- ful tram ol drsiressrng symptoms; Worms of all kinds, both in Chilt ren and grown persons Diarrhoea, both serous and bilious; Costiveness both habitual and occasional; Fever and Ague, in its three rincipal varieties, and intermittent and remittent fevers, ofall kinds; ypocon- drin-sys, and other extremely complicated nervous affections,with nervous debilin in general; Salt Rheum, Running Scald, and eruptive diseases generally, including Enanthesis, Erysi elas or St. Anthon ’3 fire and sallow, unhealthy complexion; Palpitation ol the heart, an Determina- non of blood to the head, settled pains in the organs, liiubs bat-k head find side; affections ofthe bladder, kidrries, spleen, tliroat.’and pleura ‘ jaundice, dropsy and gout 3 together with those general afl'ectious oftbt; system which arise from complicated causes. "lll‘he Catlllifigaltzs of these curcs are in wr rea i_v c s own to all who desire to see them. A sm l .

The reason \vh ' these medtcrnes, which in ordinary family use operate merely as milil and effectual laxatives, cure so great a variety of formidable diseases is that while as cathartics, cleansing the alimentary canal, and relieving the: liver and the absorbent vessels of all impurities, they lav the foundation for the cure of all specific diseases, they are compounded of unique and unprecedented variety ofr-‘lroice and exquisiteingredients, some of which are almost unknown to the profession, which exert a specific action it on many complaints, wrtbout in the slightest degree affecting the geogral system, 0! erwrse than as simple purifiers, when those complaints are not'present..

Pnoranr'rv.—A man named Zimmerman, in Hunting- don, Pa, having a contest with his neighbour about a certain account, exclaimed, “IfwhatI have stilted be not true, I hope the Almighty will send me to hell." He had scarcely spoken the words, when he fell down and expired. We have no right to say that the Almighty took him at his word; but certainly it was aterrible thing to be called to appear before his Maker, after the utterance ofsuch a prayer.—Cincinnati Weekly Herald, Feb. 6, 1844.
