LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1863. JAPAN AND ITS PEOPLE. The following extracts from a private letter, dated Yokohama, June 14, from a medical naval officer now on service in the Japanese waters, to his friends at Manchester, will be read with in tenet : Nagasaki is beautifully situated at the head of a deep '• bay and at the foot of green bills, backed up by lofty mountains. The soesery is most beautiful, the lead is most fertile, and almost every available spot is cultivated with rice, barley, he., somewhat in the terraced manner of the Chinese. The approach and the passage to Yoko- t hams is among innumerable islands, all clothed with cultivation or forests of every shade of green, with the white sandstone peeping out here and there. Each island is • gem in itself—the brilliant green of the young rios was beautifully contrasted with the many-coloured forests, and the whole was eel in a broad frame of the purest blue I water, dotted in every direction, as far as the eye could see, with Wands or came. The whole scene recalled to me the travels of &Mel the Sailor, and was more like • dream from • fairy tide than en actual reality. The shores were very populous; we passed numerous large towns with their toylike temples and sombre-coloured low houses, es clean and neat as those in China are dirty and untidy ; inns.. namable junks of all miles, wham captains threw up their ' arms as we passed in token of friendship ; innumerable fish- heals, wit► “111 EMS, or • man, or, perhaps, a Mitts urchin, who pinned a geed-humoured smile ; innumerable pretty villages •ad houses to the water's-edge —one I well remember when we pseud within • cable of • sort of bal cony, which was crowded with Japaneee gide, who greeted us with waving their fans and chattering in • way that women only can. The people at Yokohama do not appear so hostile u at Nagasaki, probably hearse there are here no Damios. The trading classes are, indeed, everywhere for us, and some of the Damios, but the majority of the Mimics are de cidedly against us, and they bold all the power in their hands. One thing is (late certain, if we wish to extend, or even preserve, oar trade with Japan, the power of the Damioe must be broken, and • war of a very bloody and expensive kind ensue sooner or later. No one of the fled wishes war ; the coolies and common classes are so civil sad good that we should be sorry to fire a single shot et them, fer they, and not the Damen, would suffer. All we an possibly do is to bombard their towns, of which, indeed, they are now so afraid that Jeddo is nearly deserted. We aunt march into the interior, or force Iliako, without • very large army. The Japanese fight desperately, sod are in such respects totally unlike the Chinese, for whom they entertain • profound coatempt. Them Dames, or Princes, some of whom, as Satsuma, are enormously rich and powerful, with their proud swag gering retainers, resemble much the old feudal throne of the middle ages. They resemble them, further, in baying continual feuds amongst themselves, which are handed down from generation to generation. They are very cruel and meeting in their conduct to the lower classes. A day or two ago, before we entered Nagasaki, • Demi° was passing with his suite along the great road, when two little girls ran across in front of the promotion. Now, this to a Japanese is the greatest insult you could offer ; but them children were too young to know it. They were immedi ately seised and decapitated, and their bodies left on the rood with the Damio's mark. Yokoherna is a consider►ble town of 80,000 iahabit►nts. The Japanese houses are rarely more than one story, and most omelet of two rooms, a front and ► back. Built of bamboo and mud, and rarely of stone, they are always painted nicely outside, or varnished, and generally kept very clean. All ornamentation is eschewed swept on the roof, which is generally edged with chequered tiles. Wherever it can be afforded a small garden, with dwarfed trees, is stirs to be in good condition ; and almost in every room you see vases with flowers or dwarfed tress growing in them. The floors are carpeted with a very even kind of ma ths, laid in strips a yard wide—the edges booed in black, so as to make an agreeable parqueterie," and it is sherry' kept very clean, even by the poorest classes. They take off their shoes before mitering a house, leaving them out side the entrance, and look sa jealous at your hoots when you enter as any English lady could, proud of ► new drawing-room carpet. They never sit on chairs or stools, but squat down me the floor with. their feet underneath, so that they appear to sit on their heels. And as you peas through the street thus you see them round a kind of square trough in the front room, in which there is always charcoal burning. They are either working or eating, or smoking a very fragrant tobacco out of a email bowled pipe, enjoying it immensely, and puffing it out slowly through the nostrils. Women, even girls, smoke as much as the men, sod with equal pleasure—or they are chat tering with great earneetums and volubility in a language much softer and more liquid, lam twanging and more harmonious, than the Chinese; or they are singing, accompanying themselves on an instrument lake the banjo, w►ich they play with great dexterity. They enjoy their own manic immensely, and turn up their eyes, sad beat time and look wisely critical, all in the most approved style. I cannot see much, or rather hear much beauty in their music, though some of the airs are plain. tive ; but, or. the other band, they can see none in ours, and say it is too loud, and fit ally for deaf people. Or they are washing themselves without any reservation, and appe really quits unconscious of an► harm therein. Indeed in the baths, which they frequent very often, the women are always washed all over by men, smiling in the most ' ' isamst manner. This almost total disregard of modesty, es we should say, is oar of •tbs most curious features in Japan, and does not appear to laid to any licentiousness. Or they are limy at their toilette, which is soon accom plished, all but the hair. A Japanese lady ►ppese to spend all her talent on her head. Her hair is black, glossy, thick, and long, and is does up in a most imposing superstructure with the aid of cushion., false hair, combs, and daggers or cress tars of tortoise shell. I cannot describe it exactly, but there spe pears to be this phut :—Brushed back in two lateral and am central rams from the forehead, it meets with the back hair brushed straight up, and the consequeoce is a series of rolls intertwined with gold thread and edit stuff, and curiously fastened up with coral-headed pins, gilt combs, and tor toise-shell bars. It really has a very pretty effect. The married ladies further adorn themselves by pulling oat their eyebrows and blackening their teeth, though I believe the origin of this was with the husbands, who, always free themselves, wished to make their wives unattractive to others. Any infidelity is punished by death ; but before marriage women are perfectly free, Their faces, when they don't powder themeless—which they ere very fond of doing, and painting their lips with red—are very pretty when you are become a little accus tomed to the gamines Mongolian type. Their figures are absolute perfection, and their hands sod feet smaller and better shaped than any I ever saw in Europe. This is owing to their dram, which is never tight ; and to their never wearing boots, but only str►w sandals, or a kind of potion in wet weather. The dram of men and women is almost the same. A keg " kes-m0.n0," desceoding to the incise in men, and to the ground with women, though tucked up any height in walking oat, is like a nightgown open in front right dews, folded over the breast, and secured at the waist by a girdle. The sleeves are very large, and bang down nearly to the knee. In addition, the women have a long piece of figured silk, which they wind twice or thrice round the waist, and then hang up behind so as to droop in a kind of rectangular festoon down to the back of the knees• Colours are geserally sombre, and as well as the patterns, which are commonly checks, are regulated by the laws for the different classes. No cap is worn, but the coolie class generally bind round their head a piece of coarse stuff. The Yakonins wear a closer kind of ken-mano, and over this a kind of mantle, generally of gauze or maps, and marked with the devices of the Diunio, to whom they ho kum. They wear various shaped hats, and always carry two swords at the left side, one longer than the other, and both generally In admirable working order. Yon must always keep an eye on these two-sworded men. If they draw, you must shoot them tor k cheap, for there Is e law (originally doubtless with a human* object) that if the► draw their sword they must use it. otherwise they are either decapitated, or commit hari-kari, that is, slit up their 1 , bowels. The Japsame eat like the Chinese with chop-elicks, sod appear to live chiefly on rice sod flab. With this simple dist, however, they have very robust frames, aid though pot tall ar fine men. appear able to endure much fatigue. you eater a house, they rise up end maks a deep salaam, saying, " O-hoe•io," and do the same when you leave, ray ing, " Siy.3forro " (may you be happy). They generally bring you something to sit on in deference to your European mutant, and present you with a cup of tea. The lady will then take a sweetmeat between her fingers, and you will be expeeted to opea your mouth, swallow it, look as if you liked it, and say " a.rieg-a-to" (thank you), to which she will bow and ay " Do•it•aahimaati" (equivalent to don't mention it). Afterwards, she will light a pipe, and transferring it from her bps to yours, will watch you smoke it, and then give you some more tea. They are exceedingly polite, and are much gratified if you are equally so. They are very curious, Led examine everything about you—but tons, cloth, watch, knife, pips, Sc,—with various exclama tion, of satorishment, almost invariably asking bow much you gave for this or that. - I think them a moat inteUigent and Interesting people. All clams* appear to be able to read and write, and to calcu late, which to more than ma be said of us et home. FATAL. GUNPOWDIR ACCIDZIIT. —An inquest was held at the Newcastle Infirmary on Wedecedad on the body of Catherine Doesley, who died at that ratite** from lorries received at her own hoer by as explores of gun powder, on the 15th July. Cuthbert Herring, nor Corrpenoquare, Cowrie Colliery, the first witness caned, maid ism the demised wee die wife of Jame Deaday, miser, of Cowpse-equare. He thought she ward be between thirty and forty years of age. On the 15th July w!tnese was in the house of George Nesbitt, Orr peenquare, next door to the hoer of the dressed. It was about one o'clock in the morning. At that time they heard a noir, and a shook, as from aue own of gunpowder, in the deeresd's house, and Nesbitt asked witness to go and see what it was. He aoccediogly went but found the door fast. He broke it open and went in. He found the deceased standing behind the door. The room was hill of smoke. The deceased was partially undressed, sad what dress she had on was on fire between the shoulders. She did not then state how it happened. When be west in, she put her anon round his seek ie her fright, and he could not get from her, or she would not have been so much burnt as she was, as be could not ambit in potting out the flame,. The fire burnt until the strings of her dress were communed and her clothes fell from her. There was no or is the house with the de creed but a child about three year old.

At the inland of Rowateogs and Mange", about 600 miles south-west of Tahiti, • lap number of Menthes bad been treacherously kidnapped by various vessels. A considerable trade has heretofore been cooducted with these islands from Sydney ad Tahiti. Per many year* back American whalers have Yearly taken from 500 to 600 men from them, whose see• vices were of great value in the Southern fisheries. When we consider the condition of these people it seems scarcely possible that such 'litany should be perpetrated.

THE HUDSON'S HAT COMPANY'S TIOIRITORIPS.— The last mail from Cana& keine@ us important intelligence as regards the mineral resources of the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company. The recent prospectus of that newly.organised corporation referred to the belief that the compsey's territory was rich in mineral wealth, bat its author, could hardly have anticipated so soon receiving the extraordinary confirmation that Is afforded in the last despatches from the country itself. We lest week published extracts from the Nor'-Wester of July 15, from which we learn that miners are actually working with much success on the Saskatchewan ad the other rivers that low eastward from the Rooky Mountain. Gold has been felted at Fort Edmonton, and although those engaged were mostly half-brods frees the Red River settle ment, having had no experieuce in mining or its opera noes, yet four of theme raw hands succeeded in washing out in three days upwards of 801. of gold dust. Another of thesehalf-breeds writes ini the 10th of May from White Mud Fort, 55 miles above Edmonton, that gold was to be found in almost every point or her such as to pay, wi th their present mode of working, from six to eight shillings sterling per day, and that his party had made from eight to ten shillinp sterling per day—the precise amount they had been unable to ascertain, owing to the want of quicksilver to separate the fine metal from the drat. He says else that the news from Peso" River aid other places nearer the mountains is very thawing, and that, attracted by the su perior value of tbees fields as a ban of operations, 500 masers had lett the wises in the west, and bad undergone the hardships of cronies the mountains to operate on this side.—Canadian New, August 20.

" Sir, —I have the honour to report the total lose by gre, on the morniag al the 20th of July bat, is M. 21 41 N., long. 23 31 W. ' of the British ship Caribou, official number 1,400, Alexander Cameron, neater, together with all the shies papers, bat the crew were all saved. This vessel was the propertg of Its. H Lawrence, of Liverpool, and was bound from that port to Bombay with • cargo of coals, about 1,280 toes. It appears that the km was aaaratoped by the second officer taking a lamp below to pi soma spirits of turpentine. that whilst below. baying the lamp in me band and the tin containing the spine of turpentine in the other, the ship give • lurch which mused him to fall down over a barrel He only remembered that his band that held the lamp was instantaneously on fire, se shoo some oakum, sod that the denim were CoolllloDicatiag to other bdereenable articles stored in the same place.

Ultimately the vessel wee shaedosed, the whole of the crew, twentyorx in number, leaving ie two bode, one under charge of the master, and UN oder under charge of the mate.

They arrived here at 8 p.m., aid the master reported to me the lose of his vessel, adding his fears as to the lath of the other boat, whereupon I &avenged to despatch a small steamer early in the morning to proofed with the master in search of the missing boat, which was dare, and at mid-day on the 25th of July steamer returned, having in tow a boat which contaieed the whole of the missing are..

"B. Coerria, H.B.M. Acting Consul." CAINE IN PEANCE. A murder and robbery were committed a few days since at St. Jean-Boisaefonds (Loire) on the person of a young lad named Merle, aged 16, employed in the coal mines of Mootoel. The body was found with the head nearly severed from the trunk in a field near his father's house, and as his pockets had been rifled of 62f., which he received on leaving the mines the previous evening, there could be no doubt that robbery was the motive for the crime. The police are making active search for the murderers. The Court of Assizes of the Marne has just tried • man named Perjoie, aged 50, en a charge of murdering his father-its-law, Frescoes Maillet, aged 76, by putting poison in his soup. It appeared from the evidence that in January, 1860, the deceased, who resided at Salm gave up • portion of his property, consisting of a home, to his daughter and her husband, the prisoner, on condition that they should pay him 159 f. a year, sod let him have a mom in the house as long as be lived. Parjoie, being idle and dissipated, was unable to pay the sum stipulated, and several quarters were due , when in May last, Mallet was taken id after eating • rain of soup with his zoo-In-law, and died two days later. As the deceased complained of having lose poisoned, suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and be was ac cordingly arrested. The chemists, however, who were charged with analysing the contents of the stomach of the deceased, fsi:ed to discover any traces of poison, and there being no other conclusive evidence against the prisoner, the jury brought is • verdict of not guilty, and the court ordered him to be et at liberty. The Court of Assizes of the Rhticie has also been engaged with the trial of • young woman, 2D years of age, named Joeilibine Auray, with eight iacendiary fires at a village named Natty, t appeared that on the sth March last a firs broke out in a barn belonging to • farmer named Roche, and destroyed it and a part of his dwelling-house. On the 21st April following several other firea took place in the slime neighbourhood, all of which were got under without any very material damage. The conduct of the prisoner, who, just before the Ors broke out, was sees running in great baste from the place, excited suspicion, and she wan arrested. On being interro gated she at first denied the offence imputed to her, but in the end confessed her guilt, alleging as the only excuse that she was impelled by a feeling which she could not with stead. A medical man who had examined her stated his opinion that she had not the entire use of her reason, but was labounng under • monomania for incendiariatr.„ The jury returned a verdict of guilty with extenuating circum stances, and the court senteoced her to the minimum punishment of five years' imprisonment.
