VENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Taz Guano Convertion —After we went to press yesterday, the Guanc Convention ad- journed at half past three o'clock in the after- noon to meet againat5 p.m. The proceed- ings were of considerable interest, and the discussion elicited many valuable facts; but the convention did not seem to be able to settle exactly how Peruvian guano is to be made cheaper Mr. Calvert laid before the convention the copy of a communication addressed to the Secretary of State by J. Randolph Clay, United States minister to Peru, dated Lima, April 8, 1856, stating that neither the Gov- ernments of Spanish America nor their citizens have the privilege of purchasing guano from the Chinchas or any other islands belonging to Peru at a certain stipulated price, by treaty, through municipal regulations or sufferance. All the guano exported from Peru is shipped for account of the government and sold in foreign markets, under special contracts, by agente, who receive a commission for ch tering vessels and on the sale of the article No exception is made in favor of any foreign nation or its citizens. Peruvian citizens are — to take from the Chincha islands and ‘ Pabellon Pica” without charge a sufficient quantity for the agriculture ef the country; but the Gov- ernment is very careful to prevent any portion of it being exported The despatch of Mr. Clay was accompanied by @ letter from a gentleman in Arequipa to ® friend in Lima, showing the manner of usin; Guano in the agriculture of that district, ad which will be found of general interest in this section of country where guano is so largely used. Arrquira, March 28, 1856. Dear S We here reply to your note of the 13th instant, asking for information rela- tive to thé manner of using guano in this dis- trict. Guano brought from Chincha Islands to Islay is there sold to the chacreros (farmers) round Arequipa at from 4 to 6 reals the fane- ga: the fanega weighs five arrobas, cr about 125 Ibs. The price varies from 4 to 6 reals: present the latter priceisasked This would make the English ton worth about $14, or say £2 10s. in Islay. It is applied to two crops only, maize (In- dian corn) and potatoes, carefully by the hand. To maize, when the plantisabout two ronthsold and about three-fourths vara high, one-half handful is applied near each root. A larger quantity is said to be prejudicial, by “barning the plant.” The guano is then covered with earth, and a small quantity of water (by irrigation) is applied “to fix the guano’ If the state of the soil does not ab- solutely require it no more water is applied until after six or eight days. The quantity required foreach ‘topo’ of 5,000 varas (about 1} acre) is four fanegas, or say 500 Ib For patatves the quantity re- quired is the same, and is applied much in the same manner as regards the age of the plant, and asmall quantity of water “to fix the guano.”” The stalk of the potato is then about one-fourth vara in height, and theearth heaped up in ridges the same as in Britain. A — inserts a spade in the top of the ridge eside each plant, whilst a woman follows pouring about half a handfal of guano into the hole thus made and covering it with earth so that the ridge remains the same as before the application of the guano. To wheat the application of guano is not aj- Proved, principally, we believe, on account of the rankness it produces in the stalk, thereby delaying the ripening of the grain—a point of great importance in lands where they count en obtaining two crops a year. Tromas Reuncr. The convention, after a protracted evening session, adjourned sine die. The delegates were fine, robust, intelligent looking men; and if guano can be cheapened through well drawn up ‘‘resolutions,”’ there need not be a doubt of the triumphant attainment of the object of the convention. Tze Copz.—We are indebted to the eodi- fiers—Mesers. Quid and Cross—for a copy of the new District of Colambia code as far as rinted. It already makes a volume of one undred and thirty three pages, though em- bracing but two of the four parts into which the codifiers have divided their subjects. The following note at the end of the volume ex- plains the manner in which they have divided their subjects, and the progress of the labor confided to them by the President of the Uni- ted States : a Code has been divided into four parts, owl Part I. Of the internal administration cf the government. [Now submitted. | Part If. Of the acquisition, the enjoyment, and the transmission -of property, real and personal; the domestic telations, and other matters connected with private rights Part I11. Of courts and judicial officers, and Proceedings in civil eases. Part I Of crimes, and the punishment thereof, and 2 patter in criminal cases. The second part is ready for publication. Considerable progress has been made in the Preparation of the third part. All Maryland acts, (except such as relate locally to this Dis- trict.) and all British statutes, are repealed under the provisions of the code. Such asare found desirable, a-e re-enacted. The Con Sessional legislation in relation to this Dis- trict will be incorporated, where it can be conveniently done. Such acts ascannot be in- corporated, will be added in the form of an appendix. We will take great pleasure in carefully looking over their volume, and presenting to the Star's readers such extracts from it as may be likely to interest our District readers immediately.
