Ties little farther intelligence received from Japan by the last mail only tends to show that the position of matters there has not been materially improved by the terribly de structive operations at Barmier& Prince Samosa, as well as Admiral Korea, claims to lave achieved a victory, and, in a certain sense, possibly not without some reason. This deluded semi-barbarian may have fallen into the error of supposing that naval operations, when undertaken by " one of the first nations of the world," are in tended to destroy fortifications and disperse armed forces, rather than to inflict death and misery en thousands of non-combatants. Looking at the IMOI , mous amount of inj uryinflicted upon his subjects and upon their property, he mu naturally have con cluded that there was some proportionably great design to damage his defences and his troops; en when be saw the British squadron sheering off with shattered aides and tattered rigging, "to " repair at Yokohama," while his batteries were Stile injured, be presumed that he had been success ful in foiling a formidable attack. The Japanese mind has not risen to the height of the great argument propounded by Achniral Kursa's defenders in London, that an assailing form is in no way responsible for the devastation which may be caused. Looking roughly at the matter, itcon eludes that the bombardment of Sagosima was a very serious attempt to suppress &MICA, and that it was one which failed. Such, at least, appears to be the view entertained by the Daimio who bolds the entrance of the Inland See, and who had recently engagements with French and Dutch men-of-war. That Prince is now in poisemion of both sides of the strait at Simoiro saki, and threatens to hold the purge against all foreign vine* though it has been open far several yeses. This is the view likely to be en- Whined by other %Mice who are not °covenant with naval logic. We have indeed terribly avenged the murder of Mr. RICHARDSON ; and it is to be hoped the Daisies will never again allow their re tainers to commit such an atrocious act ; but the monetary indemnity exacted from the govern ment of the Tswoon is • much better security against the repetition of such offences than the destruction of • Japanese city an well be. When Prince Samnu thinks quietly over the affair, he can scarcely fail to see that he and his people have been the chief losers. He may still hug the con • viction that he has repulsed a British fleet, lent this idea will probably do good in allaying the feelings of anger which must have been roused in his bosom. So far as we are concerned there must sorely new be an end to the RICHARDSON case, and it is devoutly to be hoped that the Japanese are prepared to allow matters to rest as they are. Even the Emperor of the FWCH judges that " • policy of for , " bureau " is necessary in Japan, and the affair at }Legume has rather frightened the parties who have been crying out loudest for " decided" mea sure• in that country. The very first step taken in that direction has been calculated to provoke, rather than to control, the Japanese, and, at the same time, to revolt the moral some of Europe. Two or three more victories such as that of Kago atria would be indeed disastrous—ruinous to our good name, and ruinous to our prospects of further intercourse with Japan. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon our countrymen in that part of the world that the development of relation. ships must be left to the natural work ing of those interests wh:ch elsewhere are allowed to regulate the intercourse between people of different nations. Until Englishmen pay some respect to the feelings, and even to the prejudices, of the Japanese it is hopeless to look for anything like • good understanding. This last mail, in a case which was tried before Mr. Consul Wrir- CHM= at Yokohama, affords a good illustration of the manner in which difficulties arise. Mow- TAMON, a Japanese official, brought • complaint against three British subjects, one of whom, it was not denied, had fired at him, and had shot him through the arm. The Englishmen were on horseback at the time of the encounter, armed with revolvers, and had used •boive language towards Monorsecon, when be was only fulfilling his duty. Now, it seems that the Japanese law of honour does not allow a military officer to receive an insult without demanding redress ; and as the three bold Britons were on horseback and armed, NORMA NON drew his sword in advancing towards them to demand their names. On this they fired at him, probably re membering the use to which Japanese swords bed been put in former instances, and it we. only by accident that be escaped with his life. Cases of this kind are not easily prevented where there is much mutual ill-will and suspicion; but the Ja 1 panese may well doubt whether they are likely' Ito receive justice at : our hands. If this official had been billet% 'Mr. Consul WINCHESTER would have been equally bound as now to refuse redress, on the ground which he alleged, that the danger to which the foreigners were exposed was " of such a character "as to excite those reasonable apprehensions of " injury which justify the use of means of self " defence." The Japanese, with such cases before them, naturally argue thus :—" We are no longer " independent in our own land. Here is a foreigner " killed in a dispute with one of our in:noes, and " his countrymen immed;etely claim the exclusive " right of passing judgment : they levy upon " our Government an enormous sum of money, " burn our steamers, and destroy one of our most " populous towns. Here is one of our oftl " cials insulted and killed by several armed " foreigners ; and tliese same overbearing " people, still claiming an exclusive right of " judgment, pronounce the act proper, and re " fuse redress. If these things are to be tolerated " then our honour is lost, and we are only slaves "in the land of our fathers." The Japanese cannot help considering that if these things are done in the green free there is no saying what may be done in the dry. If two or three hundred foreigners, located on isolated points on the ooast, thus pass judgment upon and punish the most powerful of the Japanese Daimios, what may not happen when these two or three hundred have grown into two or three thousand, or two or three hundred thousand 1 The prospect thus opened is calcnieted to inic:te reastanoe even in despair. Our position in Japan, as variously illustrated by the case of Senora and by that of MODATA MON, is one which must be intolerable to any independent, high-minded people ; and the best thing her 3LaJzarr can do in re Japan is to appoint a competent representative to confer with representatives bothof the MIKADO and of theTct , coos as to its being placed on some better footing. 1 ebt Court.

The following article from the National Gazette of Berlin seems to express he opinions on the Schleswig-Holstein succession of the Prussian press and people : The sudden death of the King of Denmark has all at once eatirely changed the Schleswig-Holstein question. All the matters upon which there bas been negotiation hitherto, especially federal executioo, disappear before the grand question which arises at this moment. Since the year 1460, the history of the Duchies has net passed Weigh a more decisive phase. The question to be determined is whether the countries north of the Elbe shall remain definitively with Denmark, whether the Elbe shall form in future the frontier of Germany. The situation is known. Scitlawirliolatein found itself, in relation to Denmark, in a new situation analogous to that of Hanover towards England at the commencement of this century. The two countries were united temporarily through the person of the prince ; but the law of enecession was different. In Demonic the de neesdants aquatic sod cognate of King Frederick lIL were celled to the succession ; in the Duchies the wage descendants of Cluistian L only. The union between the two countries must cease so soon as the masculine line of Frederick lIL should become extinct. King Frederick VII., who has just died, was the lest prince of that line. If the law of legitimate snoeriesion were now applied the house of Auguatenburg would succeed to Schleswig-Hohrtein—in other words, the paternal aunt of the li'ng who has just died, the Lando-mine Char lotte of Hesse In Denmark. Thus the nylon of the Duchies with Deemark, the source of a" their misfot tunes, would be elimpletely dissolved, and the Schleswig-Holeteioen would be able to date from this day the comuneemment of a new OM of prosperity. ,This is •hat the situation would be if there were no treaty of London of the Bth of May, 1852. By this treaty European diplomacy has sanctioned afresh the prejudice of the integrity of Den mark, and has sacrificed to that prejudice the legitimate order of snoueuslie. Unhappily, Prussia and Austria have participated in these attempt., in a came, moreover, in which the interests of Germany agreed with the principles of legitimacy. After the unfortunate issue of the Danish' war the treaty of London, signed by Eogiand, France, Russia. Prussia, Austria, Sweden, aced Denmark, named Prince Christian of Glocksbing as the snores= to no throne of Denmark and the Duchies. The rignega b rand themselves to recognise the succession of the Prince Christian of Glacinburg—they did not undertake to paten tee it. Such are the regulations of the treaty. But this treaty is net sufficient Lolly to modify the law of suceesacm ; it wants the meant of the swim odied to 4 the enceeseion by the aeiset Jew ; H wants the meat of the States of Holateia and of Schleswig; itlwant the assent of the Germanic Oonfederstien. Prude and Austria signed the treaty of London cooky as European powers ; Germany will not be bond by thin treaty, mein that the Gormaaks Diet bee red reeogeieed the medideatiens of the law of secomaior. It mod be new Budded whether the came of the Duchies can yet be served. The fastidious negotiations soul be firgoilms in width the question has been dragged of late years, sad the matter taken up in its true charac ter. Everythieg depends on the cessation of the dynast 4 e miou vildratbse hitherto bound the two Deaths' to Den mars. Of muse Germany has not to wimpy hest( with the sueesmiew to she Hummed Denmark. It is inimstarisi to her whether the Duke of Glucksburg become King of Dia mark ; all that we have to do with the qualms is to use that Is future the King of Denmark is not the same per ms as the Duke of Sales wig•Holsteth It we min Mamie this we ma dispense with ulterior effects in the &Nat'r of the besides; then we shall have, also, m Alms in the meth. An who are interested orest talll their duty with firmness and decision, and remember that to ao cpdr• the greatest good, they muse not moil before the greatest 111101ifiC4111. This duty is especially ineambset upon the Stiblenwig-Holdeibers themselves. Par them the Prince of Glneksburg is a pretender without right. It is not neces sary that they reengoise him for their deka ; they ou;h1 to wait kr violence to be done so them ; eight not to fergebthat they ere not really lost miff they einsidar thew'. mhos as lath filler them it is for the Germans Cents& I , ratios to lake the affair in hand. We aged !ran the Freakiest Diet that they will not re wash, the new Khg of Denmark as the Doke of Bchiss v4olo6l4° ; nor admit the represseletive of the King of Denmark to their mains ; bat that they will invite the lawful Duke of Holstein to same his deputy at the Diet. If this easably is equal to the tub which falls to it, it will net be awitent with a motto* 'plea the sueeauka of the Prince of Glockeburg. It DMA lake the newasary mea nies for musing the law Of =evasion to prevail. (uunts Tuaawirs.) THE HOLSTEIN QUESTION. KIEL. Nov. 18, Evsynro.

The report of the directors :—" The Bee eras racially opened from Calcutta to Canning . on the 15th of May last. The jetty, which is of essential importance for shipping and lauding cargoes, had arrived eddy, and arrangements were in progress for the immediate erection of it. At the date to which the report Greeds, the traffic which is ex pected to furnish the chief returns oe this line, by Mistress port of merchandise to sod from vessels vetting the poet, bad only begun to be developed. But the receipts for the , conveyance of pessengers from Calcutta to Chappsbattee I. highly satisfactory. The inadequacy of the receipts to cover the working expenses, which in this, as in all other leases, was to be anticipated on the first opening of the line. is rapidly diminishing, sod during the six months under review had been reduced to about 431. Only 1 targeted pared over the Line, but the traffic in connexion with the vessels recently arrived and those which were expected would Is all probability turn the deficiency into a surplus. To make suitable provision for this traffic, however, it is neceesery that the line should be placed io • state of complete efficieecy, more especially in reference to the accommodation of warehouses. Without theme conveniences, the risk of a heavy responsibility will be incurred for injury to goods entrusted to the charge of the company. The attention of the beard has been directed to this important question, and they have premed it on the government in India through their own officers. An estimate hen accordingly been sent home of the works required for the completion of the line, and of the expense of executing the m, wb WI has been submitted to the Secretary of State for India, who tau been pleased to authorise the rising of a further sum of 100,0001. While the difficulties of this undertaking, which is intended to cooper a new auxiliary port with the commercial capital d Bengal, have been unusually peat, as soon as the port is fairly established the prospects of the line will be propor tionately brightened, ad will, moreover, admit of indefinite improvement.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS• (mow coos OWN COREESPONDINf.) PARIS, WEDNIKIDAT EVEIMIO. M. Pelletan's election for Paris was quashed yes terday without a dissentient voice. But the ab sent* of all opposition is to be attributed to the fact which M. Emile 011ivier took care to put upon record—that the Minister of State had promised the bureau that the new election should come on directly, and not be postponed for six months. This being the case, it is not worth while to analyse the ingenious legal argument offered by M. Pelletan himself, in a maiden speech of great ability, the purport of which was to show that although, for want of the "absolute" majority, his election was not definitive, it was not invalid, and that he was entitled to be remitted to the position in which be would have stood had the Pre fect of the Seise not made a mistake. Equity is, no doubt, on the side of M. Pelietan's argu ment, but it is clear to me that the text of an imperfect law makes him the sufferer for the mis take of that high functionary the Prefect of the Seine. He admitted that he ought not now to be declared a member. But his contention was that the chamber ought to declare, not that his election was void, but that the proclamation of the Prefect of the Seine which sanctioned it was void. A new election is on all bands admitted to be necessity. The promise of the Minister of State that this elec tion shall not be delayed does away with the main injustice done to K Pelletan. There is, however, a secondary consequence of the decision of the chamber worth noting. If, as K Pelletan con tended, the chamber, as sovereign judges of the elections and all the proceedings relating to them, had decided that the declaration of the poll only was to be avoided, and the primary election to stand good, the relative majority at the second poll would have been conclusive. But now that the election is oonsidered to be a new one, M. Pelletan must obtain the absolute majority at the first poll, or else submit to another trial again a fortnight later. K Pelletan, whose speech, as modest as elo quoit, proved him to have an oratorical talent on a per with his fame as a writer, was frequently interrupted by a hostile majority, and cries of "Paris is not France" answered his allusions to the great spectacle of the Paris demonstration of May SlandJune 1. He ooncluded with these words, which, though met by the cry of " question, ques tion," are very true, and wall sink deep into the public mind : _ The people d Paris voted for the prioeiplas of 'B9, those glorious abash= who awe had a seat withia thee. we"., who now knock at your door and demand to enter, and who tell you that the people whose sovereignty you profess to rewagniae oanoot be sovereign if it is not free. These heretical doctrines fired up the Duke de Moray, who said, interrupting M. Pelletan : You ars making a great dial too mach at the quaitios. The 'Woes vats for a candidata, sad aid ter either liberty or despotism. The electors al Paris vote t far yor That is all yea have to my hero. M. Pelietan'a only reply to this was that he had done. After the vote annulling his election be withdrew from the house. Another election, but this time that of • govei a ment candidate, was subsequently annulled without discussion. It was proved that in the Ist circum scription of the Vosges the absolute majority ob tained by K Botanist de Villiers, the government candidate, was attributable to some 600 votes given by electors who were not registerri t Ol l after the 31st of March last, and who, according to law, were not capable of voting till next year. K Buffet, the opposition candidate in that district, will therefore now have a good chance. The above two elections—those of K Pelletan and K Bourcier de Villiers—are the only two which the chamber has yet annulled, and those, it sal be observed, were upon mere dry questions of law and figures. No election has yet been quashed for any of those general and moral oonsiderations which played so large a part in former parliaments. In 1844 K Charles Laffitte's election for Rouen was declared void four times running, be cause he had promised his constituents • railway, M. Duple, the present Procureur- General, being one of the loudest declaimers against the corruption of the constituency. Now, tempora etutaritur! the government, on the eve of an election, promises railways, roads, bridges, schools, remission of fines and taxes, and whatnot; and the government orators, with virtuous astonish ment, inquire whether there is any law to prevent the government from conferring benefits upon the people at election times as well as others 1 When K Pelletan left the Chamber yesterday K Thies gave him a squeeze of the band saying "Au revoir !" The France says that the government has deter mined not to delay the other two elections for Paris which are rendered necessary by MM. Jules Fevre and Navin, who were each returned by two constituencies, having elected to sit respectively for the Manche and the Rhone. If this news is true it is creditable to the government ; hitherto the course has been to put off elections at which opposition candidates were likely to succeed to the latest period allowed by law. Three elections for Paris, coming immediately after the new situation created by the imperial speech, would be no mean test of public opinion. The Bourse opened heavily, and Rents was for some time quoted lower than yesterday; but later in the day, in spite of a fall on the bourses of London, Frankfort, and Vienna, there was a sudden rise, which is attributed to news (probably false) of an armistice in America, and of the acceptance by several powers of the Emperor's pro posal for a congress. During the mat three months much has been done by the Russians, not only in strengthening Croastadt, but also is fortifying the entrances to the Neva, in guoboate, batteries, kc. The medical returns in Paris for the month of October give as extraordirsary increase of rheumatism. Tin hospitals are fall of patients suffer* from slat a few years ago was called an " English disease." The Paris climate for six weeks has been more variable than it ever is even in England; and the number of "severe colds" may be judged from the fag that, one night last week, a salon which is generally crowded with all that is famisating and agreeable contained the bast sad beaten end or visitor—all tke net of the society being is bed. THEATILICAIA AT COMPIIGNIL—The Eden de rOiss gives the following from Compi4ne :—"The artistes of the Ciyosses gave the sew comedy of Moaoere.h t th e theatre of the palms, on the "wooing anommeei Ey eight o'clock all the penass invited from the town were Dement, and at half-pas t the Emperor, the Empress., the Prime Imperial. and the guests in the palm% arrived.

The whole of the guests were in the boxes adjoining, sad the toilettes of the ladies were magnidoest." or THE ALLEANDHL The arguments wero resumed this morning, at the &Will of the court, by Mr. Xaealake , Q.H., who, on the part of the defendlata, showed came against the rule which bad bees obt.nard by the frOWII fora sew trial. He observed that the Attorney. General, at the trial, said that even an innocent equipment saperadded to a vessel, if there were the " intent," dared the ship liable to forfeiture, but that was not a cur. rut view of the 7th section, which required& warlike equip. sent. The Lord Chief Baron observed that if it was an effac e to equip and arm, and a certain person, who might he called the principal,. intended to equip and arm, anybody wh o sedated him in the equipment., without any reference to the arming, might be gnilty of the offence 'soder the act, Mr. Kerslake asked the court to accept the constructive of the section urged by Sir Hues Cairns, that the equip. meet Amid be of • warlike character, or that the v en d should be so equipped as to be ready to commit hostilities, Whoa she left these shores any other equipmeot was of a perfectly lawful cherieter. The history of the act Mowed that that was • reeacie•ble cant' notion of be provisions, sad it was supported by the fart that a Walsh merchant bad • right to sell contraband to one of two belligereots, loffze it wee tot is a complete state. Lord Chief Baron—Until the minim of thia set there ass no distinction between • ship and a gun. Yon may now at fOrmingham or any other place in this country where th ere in • foundry sullicieat for the purpo se order a gun sod esy, " This is for one of the belligerents ; it win be slat to Geed their porta, plead on board a ship that and exp ressly need is carrying on war against • po wer with whew,weareat pesos ; sad lam sot awe that that cannot be does with reference to • ship. No doubt tka statute mks' that which was perfectly legal before a crime and a misdemeanour. — Mr. Kandoke then submitted that the verdict vas per. feetlytramanted by the evidence, supposing the direction of the Chief Baron were cornet. Be did not understood the Attorney-Guseral to admit that, seaming the construct* of the statute by the claimants to be right, the etid_ s would warrant a different verdict. It was admitted by th e mows that the Alexandra wee not armed, sad the v as rat ed between them were therefore simply Mese whether, in point of law, than should he a warlike equip. meat; and next, whether the intention existed, wbi the crown said did exist, in some person a Me of exercising it. The objemioe raised the rule was that the Chief Baron did not Moistly direct the jury an the question of attempt lug to equip, or knowingly aiding or assisting to mom bat it amounted to this, that on every mouton who* be ram of "Latent" he did_ not go es to nee th e wads =furnish, fi t, or arm." He submitted that Me lordsle left the question of intent to the jury. This ui raped to the ship limit be pointed out that the weed Mid was sot used in the section, and told than that a Ude simpliciter as distinguished from equipment, whatever the might be, did not come within the statute. He then salmi the jury whether the Alexandra was equipped, and they negatived that. But then there came the question he Idt to the jury, with which the other side quarrelled, and arbiok doubtless fairly gave rise to discussion. Was the Chief Berm right in rejecting the view pressed on him by the Attains,. General, vie., that supposieg there wee an unmet t of the ship, the mend come within the UMW Zs dP irareed friend said that putting lightship' eceducters en the ship rendered it liable to seizure, bemuse it was with the intent to commit hostilities within the section. I The Lord Chief Boma properly refused to adopt that view. He stated that in his judgmmt equipping per se, even with the Mimi would I not render the ship liable to capture, and be asked the jar/ whether there was an intent to equip, he., with the view that the vessel should be used by one belligerent opium soother. l7pou this direction, which he roeteeded wu the right view at the statute, the jury were perfectly justified spas the evideoce in !aiding the verdict they did. sad they would not have bees justified in retaining soy other. Mr. Barns Bramwell—Sappoeieg a man built a verel, which was about to mil for Madeira or Terceira, and he said, " I know she is to be armed them and to moist against the United States," sad supposing them thinp fol. lowed upon the build* of the ship, would that be an squirming, fitting oak furnishin g , or arming with MUM to cruise and commit hostilities . _ itarslake—T;healdsay not. It is, however, quite sufficient for us to say that any equipment, however tom plate, in order to bring it under the act. must be of a die Cooties warlike character ; but we go further, and my that the object of the statute is to prevent the ports of this oountry being made the ports of departure for vessels equipped for aggression against a power or country with whia3 we an at pesos. This view of the ems is supported by the ehesuastanees eat of Irbil* the set arose, sad whole history of legialatioe op the subject. Mr. Mellish also followed on the same side. He said he ventured to go to the extent of saying that it was perfectly legal wider the act of parliament for any ship. builder in this country to Mild • ship, well knowing it ens adapted for war, under • contact with me of two Ixdk. Barents, to equip that ship eo far as it was secesemy to enable it to sail away from this oouatry, and to deliver it to the belligsre it either May or slumbers in as unarmed Mass. That being en, a ship was sot forbidden by the statute, end the question was this, was it the litigation of the legislature, though it did not forbid the building of a ship i n exprem and direct terms, to make it by implication isa , lawful ? Obviously it was impossible to build • ship or mil • skip adapted for war to one of two belligerents Untie' they allowed the builder to sell it in such • state as would enable it to sail sway. To say to the shipbuilders of this country, "You may sell ships to one of two belli gerents as much as you please. but you must sot pet anything on Wald which will enable them to sad away was • manifest absurdity. If it was the object of the legislature to prevent any belligerent providing himself with ships from the ports of this country, it seemed extra. °Misery that they did not in plain terms say "you shall not be allowed to build a ship for one of two belligerents ace sell it to hire." . . . . — Yr.
