A PEEP AT GUANO WHERE GATHERED Having anchored between the north and middle island, at the latter of which we are to load, we will borrow the boat and have a closer look at the hue muck heap Putting half around the island the landing place, we step ashore on a narrow strip of ?andy beach which appears to be cleared from the surrounding rocks for our espe cial convenience. Our appearance disturbs thousands of the web footed natives; these thousands count with the old hands as nothing, for they tell us that the shipping have driven all the birus away. bailing 4 a sf 1 ?

ISearer to us, whirling round our heads, are ganners, mews, mutton-birds, divers. gulls, guano birds, and a host of others whose names are unknown to the vulgar. On the detached rocks and the loereilge of the island member of a pretty numer ous convocation stands the penuin, the parson bird of the sailor, whose good name is fairly earned by his cut away black coat, white tie, and solemn demeanor. His short legs planted lar back, and his long body, do not lit him lor a walk ashore but he will sit for hours on a little rock iuf washed by the waves, apparently in such deep absence of mind, the passers by are tempted to approach, in the hope ot catch ing him.

Stepping over the mortal remains of sev eral sea lions, in a few stride we were on the guano and at the next step in it up to our knees. The guano is regularly stra tified; the lower strata are solidihed by the weight .f the upper, arid have acquir ed a dark red color, which heroines giad ually lighter towards the surface. On the surface it has a whitey brown light crust containing eggs, being completely hooey combed by the birds, which scratch ob lique holes into it to serve as nests, where in eggs, seldom more than two to each nest, are ileposited. The holes are often running into each other, form long galleries with several en trances, and this mining sytem is so elab orately carried out, tint 3'm can scarcely put a loot on any part of the islands with out sinking to the knee aud being tickled with a sense of a hard beak digging into your unprotected ankles. The egg shells, and the bones and remains. id fish brought up by the old birds for the voung, must lurm a consideiable part of the substame ol the guano, which is thus in a great mea sure deposited beneath the suilac. and then thrown out by the bird.

A few days ago. says the 'Mobile Register," we published a tele graphic dispatch, briefly stating that a chemist in Egypt had discovered a method of extracting oil from cotton seed. We thought it a strange announcement at the time, as the process could not be attended with niuih difficulty. It now appears, however, from fuller accounts, that the novelty and utility of the discovery con sists in clarifying the oil, and rendering it fit for burning fluid, for manufacturers' uses, ami for making soap. For the-e purposes it is said to be well adapted. The Viceroy of Egypt has conferred on the iliscoverer the exclusive right io clarifv and sell the oil for ten years. We shall look with interest for further arcnuuts of this dicovery. and ofthe value and uses ofthe clarified cotton oil, as it may prove to be an invention of im portance to southern plaulers. ."

This lact added to their number, until the whole country is overrun with them . It may not be generally known, bat nevertheless, such is the 'fact, that the business is systematically prosecuted, not only by these foot-pads, but by men of wealth. In New York there are seve ral large establishments, which import all the goods, smuggling in as many as possi ble. These establishments seud out the foot pads all over the country to retail the goods, in direct violation of law. Hence their ability to under-sell the hon est dealer, who pays the duties and taxes. the system has grown, until it has be come a serious evil, and should be put a stop to. We do not doubt there are many who, lor the sake of getting bargains, will buy of these men. and keep their secret; but a very little eftort on the part those, whose interests are most eflected, will arrest the evil. It is possible these men may be abolition emmissaries, and that they may be as intently sowing the seeds of incendiarism. as upon selling their goods. Che raw Gazette. Kmiguants Fon Liberia.

A Wkstkhx Judge The following well authenticated incident is siid to have occured io a niagistrate's office not a thou sand miles from Cincinnati : The said office was about twelve by fif teen feet. Across one corner of the room was a slender pine picket fence, that sep arated the dignitary from the applicants tor justice, and the rabble of lookers on. At a small desk thus enclosed, sat the di ' penser ofthe mighty law. During a trial lor some trivial amount, the defendant thought he was agrieved by some remarks ofthe magistrate, and plumply told his honor that he lied! Magisterial, as well as personal dignify was of course, highly offended; and ihe squire told him that he must retract. The accuser said that it was his candid opinion, and that he could not and would not take it back. Quicker than the lightning flash. tKei Squire was on his fee, his brass bowed spectacles were thrown on the little desk, and in a voice of thunder he exclaimed Gentlemen, this Court is adjourned for 5 minutes, till 1 whip this blamed rascal. Before the words were fairly out of his mouth, he had leaped the barricade, and in much less than five minutes he ave the offender a pair of black peepers, and start ed a spigot of claret, to the astonishmeet of all the by standers. The magistrate walked deliberately back to his little desk adjusted his spectacles, rnd coolly an nounced that the Court was again in session.
