PEDAL This Embassy, which has already reached Mar seilles on its way to Paris, is composed of persons of high distinction. Besides the domestics there are seventeen officers ♦ two secretaries, a minister plenipotentiary, and an envoy extraordinary. These two last high functionaries, as also the two secretaries, are, no doubt, spies upon each other, fur no Japanese official is trusted to do anything alone, and they carry out the dual system in all public affairs. So accustomed are they to this that when Cie Earl of EL4:IS and KIN, ARDINE made our treaty with Japan, nothing would convince them that his title did not represent two per sons they saw, but where was INl'AR i.tva T Why was he kept so very "dark " that they never got sight of him ! And this default of a person answering to the second name they were disposed to consider as a grievance. The Embassy makes its lint stay at Paris, but after hay ing been presented to the Exl rues it will visit various parts of France, care fully observing, and recording its observations, for the benefit of the Court at Yeddo. It will pro ceed to London in time to be present at the open ing of the Great Exhibition, and after having fulfilled its mission to her MAJESTY, will visit the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, be fore returning home with the mass of information which it is sure to collect during its long and important journey. From St. Petersburg there is every probability that it will return to Japan through Siberia, as it can reach Yeddo by that route in a third of the time which would other wise be taken. Lord PALMERSTON, having planted himself on the general proposition that all taxes are objec tionable, chose to ignore minor distinctions, and rebuked the supporters of the motion in the style be listened to in his younger days :—" No doubt " it would be an exceedingly agreeable thing if the " country could go on without taxation at all. " If the army would be good enough to go on "without pay, if the civil departments could be " carried on and justice administered without " expense, and if ships' guns and the services of " seamen were gratuitously given, it would "as doubt be exceedingly convenient for " those who have to pay taxes. But " the country must submit to the inconvenience "of taxation to obtain the great and inestimable "advantage of having the order of the country " properly maintained. I therefore discard at " once the arguments which apply entirely to the " assertion that this tax is peculiarly objection " able." This language is just fifty years too late, and will neither convince opponents nor quiet the country. It is, however, on Thursday that we shall learn whether the vote of last night is one which it will be wise to maintain. The poets are a class who give no end of trouble to the Exhibition authorities. The last offer is the follow ing :—" A prophetical ulogy and illustration, showing to Britain and every other nation the very great advantage of Iss2's International Exhibition." The poet, in recom mending it to the favourable notice of the commissioners, says :—" I am persuaded that if it was printed and sold in the various towns of Britain it would be the means of bringing some hundreds and thousands to the commissioners, as nearly all the nations of the earth are named in it." He goes on to remind the commissioners that it is high time for them to come to a decision and for "commencing opera tions," and he wishes for facilities of admission into the building in order that he may pick up materials for his poem. A society, calling itself the " Royal Masonic Solar Church Society," wishes for space to ventilate its dogmas. The tenets of this sect, which are said to number " 1,500 heals," and to have the city of Bath as the centre of their operations, are somewhat misty. THE INSURRECTION AT NAUPLIA. PARIS, Arsn. 2.

"The 150 men within it will only treat with the King, and demand the dismissal of the ministry, the dissolution of the chamber, the arming of the National Guard, and the appointment of a successor to the throne." The only other Embassies which Japan has sent to the occidental world have been one to the POPE in the year 1652, and the very recent one to the United States of America. The Embassy to the Port: was not exactly a national mission, but was bent by those Princes who had embraced the Christian faith as taught to them by the Roman Catho'i: missionaries, who in the sixteenth cen tury obtained a strong footing in Japan. The present visitors to Europe have come easily and enough, in powerful war steamers, by Singapore and Sue; but their predecessors found no such conveniences of travel, and did not reach the Eternal City till more than three years after they sailed from Nagasaki. Their return journey was even longer, and they found that during the eight years of their absence the affec tion of their countrymen towards Catholicism had considerably diminished. The Pore and his Car dinals expected great things from this visit, but nothing particular came out of it, and in the earlier part of the next century the English, Dutch, I and Portuguese abandoned the country, or were expelled from it, one after the other ; the Dutch were confined to the small artificial island of De- aims, and the natives who would not abandon Christianity were ruthlessly massacred. The recent Japanese Embassy to the United States, with the momentary excitement which it created, must be in the memory of moat readers. That country has the credit of having been the first in recent times to open up the secluded islands of Eastern Asia.

Dagblaclet of this morning states that the Danish Ambassador to the Federal Diet at Frankfort protested, on the 19th March, in a note to the President of the Diet, against the treatment of the international Schleswig question in the form of a Federal resolution. The late Count de Nesseirate has left one son, Count Dmitry, master of the Russian court, and two &tighten, both married—the Countess Chreptovich and the Baronesse de fieebach, wife of the Saxon minister in Paris. A strike has taken place among some of the working printers of Paris, caused by the introduction of female labour by one of the masters. The latter pays the women, not according to the tariff, but nearly one-halt what it was when men were employed. The men demanded that as women ware employed they should be paid the same " Several of the medical celebrities of the faculty of Paris," says the Pays, " lately went to Brussels to visit King Leopold, the state of whose health inspired uneasi• nos. Although the greatest mystery prevailed as to the position of the august patient, there is reason to believe that the Paris medical men derided os his undergoing an operation for the stone--a dem gerous operation for a person of the King's age. The Duke de Brabant Las given up his journey from Alicant, and embarked at Cadiz to return to Belgium. The Nord remarks on the above in these terms :—"The statement so made is not very accurate. The operation I spoken of took place the day after the departure of the Duke de Brabant, a proof that no fears were entertained of the result. It was perfectly successful, and the health of the King is now excellent. As to the Prince Royal, he has not suspended his journey, has not been recalled, and ham not any idea of retuning to Belgium for the present." " At the present moment," says the Ind4wa- I do nre, " may be seen in a garden at Faxbe-le-Kant-Clocher, Belgium, a fine cherry tree not in blosoom,but bearing good sized cherries. It is tree that the tree has been covered every night with matting, and has been for some weeks past watered with lukewarm greasy water. This is • re workable instance of precocious vegetation." The Prussian Staff Corps has just published the "Campaign in Italy in 1859." In the preface of the work is a phrase worthy of remark :—" When nearly three years ago, war broke oat in Italy, the ordain of the armies which were not called on to take put in it, end particularly of that of Germany, followed with the most lively atten tion the events which were taking place beyond the Alps. W hat led them to it was the interest which we took in the fate of a federal state, to succour which policy was waiting for the opportune moment." The Ambassador refused to accept, as Plenipo tentiary to the Diet, the resolutions which ought to have been communicated to him diplomatically as Ambassador of Denmark, an independent State. The Diet, therefore, resolved to communicate its determination to the Danish government through the Russian Ambassador at Copenhagen. Dagbladet wages for the same work as the men. On the refusal of the master 120 men struck work and quitted the establish ment of the innov►tor, while at the same time the. com mittee of master printers rejected the revisioe of the old tariff proposed by the workmen's committee. The confer ence between the committees was broken off, and the work men were told that such of them as presented themselves at the office should be taken into custody. A commissary of police and his agents were installed in the workshops, and admission refused except on condition of at owe setting to work. About twenty of the men were arrested, among wham was the president of the Society of Working Printers. the resolution of the Diet ;vapor:4in Schleswig as exceedingly significant and dangerous. THE INDIA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN SUEZ, Ann. 1, 9.15 a.m. The Calcutta., China, and Australian mails have arrived here to-day. The English Augustinian nuns, late of Sion House, Ras dee Forth, Paris, intend to remove in a few weeks to a new convent which they have built in an open ' part of the park of Nenilly. The Sick publishes a long letter from a private correspondent, giving a glowing account of the progress of the works in the Isthmus of Suez, which be has recently visited throughout their whole extent, in company with M. de Lessees and a party of twelve gentlemen and fear ladies. The writer says :—" I can now assure you, from personal experience, that 67 kilometres of the Suez canal are already navigable ; that the waters of the Nile are conveyed into the middle of the Desert ; that 20,000 men are now employed, and that their number will be increased to 40,000 next ' month, so that in less than three mouths the cutting through the Threahold will be completed. If any persons now doubt the feasibility of the undertaking, let them visit it ss I have, and all their doubts will vanish.* INDIA. BOMBAY, MARCH 12 (Vi► Triode). Lord Elgin has arrived at Madras. Mr. Laing, in his speech on the abolition of the license tax, said that the import duties on Manchester goods would be done away with, if possible, et the end of the financial year. A native meeting in honour of Lord Canning has been held in Calcutta. Nana Sahib is now said to be still in Nepaul. Government will, it is expected, demand his sur- I ren d er. Two new English members of Council have been appointed in Bombay. f THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Ytztertlay morning their Royal Ilighnosien the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary paid a visit to the building and inspected the progre.s of the worka The following circular has been addressed to the eshibi ton of machioery : " Esl;ibition Building, South Kensington, W., A pril2. " Sir,-1 am directed by her Majesty's commissioners to request that you will at once employ such a number of workpeople to put together your machinery in the Exhi bition am will ensure the whole of your works being corm plated before the 70th of April. " Alter that date it will only be permitted to complete t►e arrangenienta for fencing off the machinery, and to get all in readiness for the opening of the Exhibition on the let of May. _ . " Machinery in motion will be allowed to be tried between the 1r In 41 awl 2.5 th of April, and the connexion between the steaun•engines used as prime movers and the main steam and exhauat pipes in the western annexe must be absolutely &limbed by the 15th of April. " I am, sir, your obedient servant. " F. It. SANDPOILD, Secretary." Of the mass of letters which are seat to the secretary of the International Exhibition, there are hun dreds of the most frivolous character. Among the latest we may give the following. It is an .ap plication for space, though the enterprising writer ought to have known that the lists were closed DAM than three months since. The writer says:—" I Have a stuffed specimen di hen with Four Legs, Bred by myself, the hen is of Full size and has laid many Eggs ; it has been well stuffed and is in a Clean Case 15 inches square by Five Deep. lam in Business as Milkman and Cowkeeper and shall be mach pleased if my extraordinary Hen is admitted to the Exhibition." The inevitable reply of "too late" has gone forth to this breeder of remaliable poultry, and his interesting specimen of taxidermy will not be admitted. PRESTON ELECTION. (PROM OUR OWN CORRKS:ONULNT.) PRESTON, TeLIDAT The interest evinced by all parties in Preston iu the election is daily intensifying. More pasquinade+ are posted, and every available attempt is being made to eu hence the claims of each party's man to the 111.1ffrages of the electors. The liberals have been assiduously prosecntin; their canvass, and express great confidence in the n. turn of Mr. Melly ; whilst the assurance of the conservatives on Tuesday appeared to be considerably shaken, and their chiefs have acknowledged that it must be by dint of Herculean labour if their candidate, Sir Thomas George Heeketh, wins the day. The Homan catholic party, who were generally against Mr. Melly, have become divides!, and chiefly so on account of the conduct of the conserve. tives in distributing handbills on Sunday at their places of worship, which their priests have denounced from the pulpit. The Wesleyan*, disgusted with Sir Thomas keth'e antipathies to them, as evinced io his refusal to allow • Methodist chapel to be built on his estate, are now working for Mr. Melly, and the temperance portion of the community are doing their best on his behalf. Ou Tuesday night there was a monster demoostratiou of conservatives in the Theatre Royal, over which Major Births* of the Preston Artillery Volantears,presided. The crowding was terrific, especially in the pit,aud the tories had taken care by issuing tickets to obtain am audience, the majority of whom were in the interest of the tories and their supporters. Sir T. G. Heeketh re-delivered the speech he gave at his electioneering dOmt, and at the close of his address, during which he was loudly cheered, a motion was carried approving of Sir Thomas us a At and proper person to represent the borough of Preston in the British House of Commons. There was a terrible scene during some portion of the proceedings, the roughs in the pit tearing up the seats and rails, and therewith bola bowing the heads of the few liberals who had effected an entrance. Never was so exciting a scene wit neesed in the building, and it was feared that serious results would follow. As it was, • few bones were broken. and several heads cracked, arid the injured 00C4 were soon passed over the surging crowd and taken home. Mr. Cross, the retiring member, was vociferously received with acclamation, and gave an address stating his reasons for taking leave of his constituents, and urging the electors to return a conservative candidate to fill the seat vacated by himself (a conservative). There is still the natensest excitement, and, whilst this is being written, the whole of Fishergate is in a state of uproar. It is feared that on Thursday there will be riotous proceedings at the nomination. Policemen are patrolling in couples, and, in view of a riot, the 13th Light Dragoons and two companies of infantry at Fulwood Barracks are under orders to be ready to put down any such demonstration. MORE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.-(THIS DAY.) About 1 o'clock a.m., as a police constable was passing near the George Tavern, in the Commercial-road Bast, he observed a lurid glare of flame in a shop op• poeite. The moment he reached the premises the windows of the second floor were opened, and two young men who lodged in the house mode an attempt to jump out. One of the unfortunate men, in so doing, had to climb over an iron grating, and his feet becoming entangled it prevented his clearing the obstruction, and the consequence was that when he could liberate himself he fell on the pavement, his head striking the stone flags with fearful violence. He was picked up dead. The other lodger was a little more fortunate, u he cleared the ironwork and dropped upon his feet, but he was terribly shaken, and one of his arms broken. Such are the serious nature of the injuries he has received, that he is not expected to recover. Police-constable 372 K. then noticed the proprietor of the house and his wife at the first floor window, and fortunately succeeded in getting both out, the night dress of the female being on fire. The whole of the premises and their contents were destroyed. The origin of the catastrophe is unknown. A fire also happened during the night on the premises belonging to Messrs. Harrison and Co., hatters, No. 49, Penton-street, Pentonvilie•hilL The outbreak commenced in the lower part of the shop window, and before sufficient tune had elapsed to extinguish the flames in that part of the building it was discovered that a second fire was raging in the other portion of the shop. The contents were insured in the Situ Fire-office, and the building was sup posed to be insured in the Norwich Union Fire.office. THE ALLEGED MORD4R_IN THE REGENTS CANAL.. CORONER'S INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, at ten o'clock, an inquiry was held at the Regent's Tavern, Regent's-road, Bow, by Ns. H. Raffles Walthow, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, touching the death of Ada Emma Williams, sod 19, whose body was found in the waters of the Regent's•canal under circumstances which have given rise to a suspicion that she had been murdered. Theme excited considerable interest. and the court was crowded during the investigation. The first witness celled was Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, 3, Nelsonetreet,Bow, who idea. tided the body as being that of her daughter. She said that deceased had been a domestic servant until within the last three weeks, when she left her place in consequence of her having been seduced, and had since resided with witness. She had been keeping company with • • young man, but they had recently quarrelled. The day before her dead body was found witness had dig• covered that she had been to the Et/Ingham Theatre with some person, and as she kept the party's name concealed, there was a violent quarrel, and she left the house, saying that she would go where she would be let alone. Witness understood by that that she intended to go to the mother of the young man she had been keeping company with formerly. She never threatened to destroy herself. Witness never saw her alive afterwards. Mrs. Susannah Wain, 32, Fenton-street, Commercial. road, said—My son kept company with the deceased until lately. The last witness one day came to my house and stated that her daughter was enciente, and that she be lieved my son bad seduced her, but he solemnly denied the charge. He had au interview with the deceased at my house subsequently, but I do not know what was said at it. I know that they quarrelled, but she continued to visit me. She charged her mother with great cruelty towards her. Ido not know anything about her death, but she never talked of suicide. Robert Rogers, night-lockman on the Regent's Canal, said that between two and three o'clock in the morning he heard screaming from the direction of the field near the Com mercial Gas-works on the opposite side of the canal to where the read was. He proceeded up the towing path to see what was the matter. After going 1101110 distance he observed • motion in the water, but he could not see what caused it. He procured the drags, but he found they were too short to reach the spot, and he did nothing mote. He gave over the search until daylight. He did not mention the circum stance to anyone, for he knew that the person would be dead before other help could be got. Upon going to the place at daylight he observed a bonnet and a crinoline in the held from which the screams had come, and he told the day lockman that some one bad been pitched in the water, and that he should get the body out. By the Jury—Did not tell anyone that he heard the screaming; he kept it to himself. He did not raise any alarm, although he guessed some person was in the water. When he found the drag was too short he did nothing more to save her life, for he thought it would be no use, as sjie would be dead before he could fetch other assistance. It was not his duty to raise an alarm, but to use the drags himself. By the Coroner—He could not tell what caused the per. son to scream. The screams were repeated, but he was some distance off, and he could not hear anything else. William Bradbury said that the last witness having an. formed him that some one was in the canal he had the water dragged, sod the deceased was discovered io it, Of course quit* dead. Her dress appeared torn, and there were marks on her person of injuries, but they might p.e• sibly have been caused. by a barge or other craft. Her crtso. li mo appeared to have been torn off, and it lay in the h e ld about 20 or 30 feet from the margin of the canal. After some further evidence had been given, which did not, however, throw any additional light upon the art dr. The Coroner summed up. and remarked on the singularly mysterious circumstances of the case. The jury, after a long deliberation, returned the folio's• lag verdicti:—" That the deceased was found drowned ie,the Regent's-canal ; but in what manner she came into the midcanal there was no evidence to show ; and they sr pre-sod their strong censure of the conduct of the I...:.unrn Rogers in not having procured aid for the purpose of en deavouring to save the deceased's life when he first heard the unfortunate girl's screams."
