Tliree snecessive administrations have made cfTorts to induce Peru to enter into more liberal commercial treaties with the government of the United States; but such efforts, strong as they were, have been unsuccessful. With know ledge of these facts, and the reasons that have conduced them, the committee feel authorized to recommend that the President of the United States again invite the Peruvian government to treat, with the specific right to our merchants to purchase guano, like other products of Peru, upon her own soil, and upon the terms of the most favored nation. They also reported a bill imposing impost duties on a sliding scale, upon the Ciiincha island gnano. Fragments of the City of Glfisgoir JJlscnrered. Boston, August 10, 1854. Captain Taylor, of the British bark l'riton's Pride, arrived at this port this morning, reports. August 12th, in la t. 41 f, Ion. 00 0.3, passed a chest painted green, and lettered "G. li., City of Glasgow," in a gilt ornamental wreath, and in a few min utes afterwards passed a head board, about twelve feet long, with letters on it, but could not make them out. These were doubtless rem nants of the ill fated steamship City of Glasgow. Bmi.E IicitNiNc We are informed upon good authority, says the New York Journal of Commerce, that a short time since a number of Protestant Bibles were sent to Cumminsville to be. distributed among those families who were not able to pay for them. The Bibles were gathered together and piled up iu the road and destroyed by fire, by a parcel of Irishmen. The remains of some of the burnt Bibles can be seen at the Bible Society's rooms. Is it possible such an cntrage has been committed in this age of civilization? On the first consignment of Seidlitz powders to the capital of Delhi, the monarch was deeply interested in the accounts of tlie refreshing box. ! A box 'was brought to the king in full court, aim nic jiiit-jpieier explained 10 his majesty how it should be used. Into a goblet he put the twelve blue papers, and, having added water the king drank it off. This was the alkali, and the royal countenance expressed no sign of satisfaction. It was then explained that in the combination of the two powders lay the luxury; and the twelve white powders were quickly dissolved m water, and as eagerly swallowed lv liis inniestv. with a shriek that Will be le- ln"CK1i,creii while Delhi is numbered with the j kingdoms; the monarch rose, staggeretl, ex ploded, and m his full agonies, screamed 'hold me down.' Then rushing from the throne fell prostrate on the floor. There he lay, during the long-continued effervescence of tlie com pound, spurting like ten thousand pennyworths of imperial pop, and believing himself in the agonies of death, a melancholy and humiliating proof that kings are mortal. PErmtiNG 'Km.' 'Did I ever tell von how near I came to losing rny election as Senator V said the Squire. "No, I llieve not." "Well, it was altogether owing to Waterem not having a sufTieient sHjiply of liquor on hand. You see the main strength of our party lies in the upper end of the county 'specially among the inhabitants of the swamp, as it is called. So you see, about two days before the election, I sends Sam up among the Swampers with live gallons of the real hardware tremendous stull knock a horse down the last Waterem had on hand. About four hours back came Sam, horse in perspiration, himself in fright, and everything indicating an untoward state of affairs. ."What's the matter Sam?" said I. "Matter: said he. mutter enough vou have outraged the feelings of the virtuous Swampers: they swear that any man who ex pects to go to the Senate for three years, and cau't afford ten gallons of whiskey, is too mean for the post they won't vote for him." "Matters looked squally enough. Only one storekeeper within a day's ride and he a democrat. Of course he would'ut sell any liquor to me so near election. " What did you do?" "Called a council of war immediately Law yer Koss and several more, lloss proposed a letter of apology to the disaffected. Rejected wouldn't do without the whiskey. Cale Al right was the fellow to help us out, always lull of expedients. He proposed to water the liquor up to the right quantity. We did so, but on trying it found it much too weak for our friends. Such stuff wouldn't go down with them. Cale asked if Ave hand any other spirits; handed him about a gallon of gin; in it went, tasted it, not strong enough. Found about a quart of rum poured it in. Sam tried it, "too weak," said he. We were at our wit's end. "Red pepper," said Cale. It was brought, in went a pound, he .stirred it up. "Capital," said he. We tried it and nearly blistered our throatsit would have killed rats. Sam took it no the iiexftfay. explaining that it was all owing to thSgscarci ty of liquor in the neighborhood, that" a fresh supply of the best "Oid Mongahale" bad been obtained, and invited a trial ot its merits.

Shepherd, whom I have just named, who was but two-aud-twenty when he came from IJalti more to New Orleans, was accompanied thither by a young American from the same place, who could not have been more than a few years older than himself. Tlie latter brought some six or eight thousand dollars with him, and af ter, for a considerable time, exploring all sorts; of uncultivated lauds lying along the Mississippi, made a choice and purchased. This young man was John McDonough, who made such con stant parade of the lands he had bought, so weil understood the game of making fictitious sales to his friend Shepherd at very high rates, and through him to others at still higher prices, and pursued this system, observing, at the same time, great frugality at home, so long and so skilfully, that at length real purchasers fell into his net and made themselves part and parcel of it. McDonough talked very little, and seldom mixed in general conversation, especially with ladies, whose society he avoided as much as possible. When he dil open his lips, all .that fell from them was praise of certain lands he had itist purchased, and this theme was inex haustible. It was not in Louisiana alone that he carried on this system, but also in neighbor ing States, and he continued it for more than forty years. He passed his spare time in look ing; after the education of some children in the neighborhood of his homely residence on an estate, or, as they call it in the South, a planta tion, belonging to him. He also occupied him self with the amateur study of medicine. Mc Donough died in October, ISiil, and, upon the opening of his will it was discovered, that at the time of his death he ownetf four-lifths of all the uncultivated lands in the State of Louisiana, and 'sts many tracts of territory in other States, to the very considerable amount of fifteen mil lions of dollars. During the lapse of some thirty-four years I saw him very frequently, the last time in 1S31), anil knew but one relation ol his, a brother, .who was a pilot and died early, if I am not mistaken, of the yellow fever. Mc Donough himself died without heirs, either direct or collateral, and has made over his whole property to the cities of Iialtimore and New Orleans to be expended in the establishment of public schools. Besides this general direction, there are a number of codi cil and bequests of very curious nature append ed to his will. One of the oldest of these is the bequest made to Leon (Jo.Ian, in Paris. This well known writer some years ago publish ed a romance called the "Medecin du Pecq," which in ever" point of view, but especially by some very peculiar and profound psychological studies, attracted the greatest notice through out France. The editor of the Courier des Etats Unis republished it in the feuileton of that widely-circulated pn per, audit thus fell into the hands of Mr McDonough, who read it at home in his solitary hours, and was so charmed with soma of the author's observations on world, and men, that he made him his heir to the amount of ten thousand dollars. This sum was lately handed over to Mr (Jozlan by Mr Hives, the late American Ambassador at Pris, in a check on the house of Albrecht & Co., in Havre. JOHN" JACOB ASTOR. The argument which Parish had made use of with Mr Gallatin, for the purpose of procur ing permission to send out ships in ballast, to bring back stuns of money from abroad that were due in the United States, had found favor i:i the eves of a man who had tlistin- j shed himself from the mass of German emigrants by his important successes, ins specu lative spirit and his great wealth, and had won a certain celebrity. This man was John Jacob Astor, the founder of the American colony of Astoria, on the northern coast of the Pacific ocean, which has been so graphically and pic turesquely described by the pen of Washington Irving. Astor was born at Heidelberg, where the original name-of his family is said to have been Aschthor, and had come to New-York as a furrier's apprentice. I lis first savings, that is to say, tlie wages he got iu the peltry ware houses, lor beating out and preparing bear, doe, and other skins, he invested in the purchase of all kinds of peltry, bear, mink and rabbit skins, which he got from the Indians, who at that time wandered about the streets of New York; and so soon as he had collected a certain quan tity, he sent them to Europe, particularly to the Leipsic fair. There he traded them off for Nuremberg wares, cheap knives, glass beads and otiier articles adapted to the t rathe with the Indians on the Canadian frontiers, and took them himself to the latter points, where he again exchanged them for furs of various kinds. As he has often told me, from his own lips, he carried on this traffic untiringly for twelve long years, going in person, alternately to the Cana dian frontiers, and then to the Leipsic fair, and lived all the while, as he had ever been accus tomed todo, humbly and sparingly. At length he had managed to bring together a considera ble capital, and gradually became a freighter of ships and fitted out expeditions to the north west coast, to trade with the Indians of Nootka Sound for furs. Another circumstance con tributed to the increase of his means. At the peace concluded in 1783, between England and her revolted provinces, the thirteen U. States, many acres of land in the state of New "iork, some even iu the neighborhood of N ew- ork citv, were voted by Congress to the German prddiers who had fought in the American army. The latter were chiefly Hesse-Darmstadters- 'V,ost of tf,rm died iu the course of the year, w,thout lnvinjf succeeded in converting thi property into money; but the relatives am! -:eirs thev Ictt helunu them in CJermanv uut not i nitcfl aid "bide our friend their legally author- ized attorney, in order to realize something, ii 1 ossihle, from their hitherto useless acres. Jbit. the hoped-for increase of the value of this pro perty was, 011 tlie whole, rather slow in coming, and the heirs wanted money, money, quick and ready money.

Unknown speculators were found; the proceeds were small, but the heirs got what they wanted money. At the present day, many of these pieces of ground are among the most valuable and most important in the city, and have grad ually passed through Astor into other hands: the unknown speculators, however, have faded from the memory of everybody. Astor, at the moment of the embargo, was it the possession of several millions, so that he- was able to give his son William 15. Astor, who was educated at Gottingen, the magnificent hotel on Ilroadway called the "Astor House," which cost the sum of '00,000. flic permission procured bv the parish to send out ships in ballast, to bring home silver, had given Astor the idea that the same privi lege might be extended to vessels despatched for the purpose of bringing home the amount of debts due abroad, in goods. With this view he went to Washington, and there, under t he pretence that he had an important depot of teas at Canton, obtained the desired permission to send a vessel thither in ballast. This step, however, was only the forerunner of another one. Astor, in reality, owned no depot of tens at Canton, and hence it simply came to this; that he would, according to the usual custom, send money thitherto purchase the article. The exceptional favor of sending schooners in ballast to Vera Cruz, which Parish had up to this time enjoyed, but which was now gradually extended to other vessels, whose destination was not to bring back gold and silver values, but goods on American account, sufficiently showed that. under certain circurastauces, then was no indisposition to grant free exit to ships iu ballast for a particular object. And now arose another point, namely, whether empty vessels, which, however, had silver on board, could be regarded us in ballast. The-precious metals are, iu most countries, not looked upon as wares, although in some they are so classified. It was not exactly advisable to bring on a, discussion of the question, whether the expor tation of silver iu otherwise unladen vessels should depend upon it or not. The query was. whether a foreign creditor, who had come In collect the nioneys owed him b- American mercha nts, would fie permitted to take the funds really thus received back with him. Iu Wash ington there appeared lo be every disposition to allow this. Now it was well known, in the Northern ports of the United States, that the leading natixe merchants of Canton had never hesitated to accord t heir regular correspondents, returning year out and year in from the United States, certain credits which amounted to con siderable sums. Upon this Astor based his plan. He hunted up, among the Chinese sail ors, or Lascars, on the ships lately arriving from China, a fellow suited to his purpose, dressed him as a Mandarin, uud took him with him to Washington, where he had to play the part of the Chinese creditor, under the name of Hong Qua, or Kina-Ilolu. No one dreamed of sus pecting the Mandarin's identity, and Aslor pushed his scheme safely through. The 200, 000 he sent to Canton were expended theie in tea and other Chim se articles, ami within a. year afterwards returned in that shape to Astor's hands, and were used by him lo exce l lent account. A stroke of skill had been achieved, whose morality no one in the United States doubted for a moment. Astor has left a fortune of about $12,000,000. chiefly to his only son. His mind was inces santly busied with the increase of his resources-, and had no other direction. He was compelled, by a physical infirmity, to repair fo Paris, where he could avail himself of tlie skilful assisDiiu of Duron Dupuytren. The latter thorough restored him, ami advised him to ride out every day. He frequently took occasion himself to accompany his patient on these rides. One day and this anecdote I have from the Duron's own mouth when riding, he appeared by no means disposed to converse; not' a word could be got out him; and at length Dupuytren de clared that he must be suffering from somo secret pain or trouble, when he would not speak. He pressed him and worried him, until finally Astor loosed his tongue : "Look ye! Baron,'' he said, "how frightful this is! I have here, in the hands of my banker, at Paris, about 200, 00O francs, and cannot manage, without great effort, to get more than 22 per cent per annum on it. Now, this very day I have received a letter from my son in New-York, informing rne that, there the best acceptances? are from 1 to 2 per cent per month. Is it not enough to enrage a.
