M i . ;‘, s entelrena - 3L LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SAY 5, 1852. According to Bkiekwood, there is already percep tible throughout the electoral districts of the United Kingdom (perhaps in more senses than one) " the hum of Preparation." According to accounts re• calved from the opposite shores of the Atlantic, there is evident almost the same activity in the United States. With ourselves, however, the object held in view is sufficiently pacific, whereas that kept in sight by the American Congress is unquestionably warlike, Every one is by this time aware that the intention of the United States is to send an expedition forthwith against Japan, for the purpose of extorting from its Government some concessions at once social, poli tical, and commercial ; and while driven to this ex tremity it is expected that the barbarians may be curnpelled to expiate in some measure the crimes they ave long perpetrated with impunity. Those crimes (it is notorious) have outraged all the most sacred Principles of humanity during a period extending over the best portion of two centuries. From some where about the middle of the seventeenth century the - "asts of Japan have been closed inexorably against all foreigners g hatsoever. Tempests might drive the unfortunate- roario,-_ , rs from niwe civilCzal countries u p' llt h° 4 e Pitiless re gloss w here man exercised more terrible cruelty than the WPryehments, and supposing the vessels became involved in the hurricanes of those treacherous seas, th ey were almost irresistibly doomed to destruction. X° assistance was ever aff or d e d them by the J a „ a r nese ; and whenever the al - dp failed to live through the foil weather, it was 'wrecked upon the shores of the island the few survivors being seized ee soon a 8 the y had crawled exhausted from the W4YBC-; ‘ th ieuPon thrown into dung•eons;kexhibited in iron cages, and subjected to the mo s uititni4i P barbarous exec u ti on , tell, ~ % after year, in the stormy season, month by month, week by week, and sometimes day by day, these horrid atrocities have been perpetrated without hin drance upon those who were unhappily driven upon I the sea-bound frontiers of Japan. The Dutch alone have been exempted from the tyrannical laws which have thus forbidden other nations to set foot upon the soil peopled by the Japanese, permitting merchants from Holland alone to trade with the inhabitants of Japan, and that only at stated periods, and at the port of Nangasaky. Subjected as the whalers from the United States have peculiarly been to the mise ries resulting from these despotic and detestable regulations, the Congress has at length decided upon vindicating the majesty of the Republic, upon in sisting that the rights of nations, so long despised and violated, shall be at length recognised, upon aveng ing the crimes of two centuries by a sudden and overwhelming onslaught, and upon setting aside by these means, at once and for ever, the prohi bition against any intercourse between the rest of the world and the Japanese. Several evenings since we described the nature of the plan by which the Ameri can Government purposes to carry out this noble and (considering its object) humane enterprise. The vessels of the expedition are already preparing, and meanwhile documents relating to :allay past negotia tions with Japan—documents extending from the 28th of Oetober, 1832, to the 10th of May, 1852—have been laid upon the tables of Con gress. An extract from the letter of President • FILLMORE to the Emperor of JAPAN, for which we are indebted to the New York Herald of April 21, 1852, runs as follows :—" I send you, by this letter, an envoy of my own appointment, an officer of high rank in his country, who is no missionary of religion. He goes by my command to bear to you my greet ing and good wishes, and to promote friendship and commerce between the two countries. You know that the United States of America now extend from sea to sea; that the great countries of Oregon and California are part of the United States ; and that from these countries, which are rich in gold and silver and precious stones, our steamers can reach the shores of your happy land in less than twenty days. Many of our ships will now pass in every year, and some perhaps in every week between California and China; these ships must pass along the coasts of your empire ; storms and winds may cause them to be wrecked on your shores, and we ask and expect from your friendship and your greatness, kindness for our men and protection for our property. We wish that our people may be permitted to trade with your people, but we shall not authorise them to break any law of your empire. Our object is friendly commercial intercourse, and nothing more. You may have productions which we should be glad to buy, and we have productions which might suit your people. Your empire contains a great abundance of coal ; this is an article which our steamers, in going from California to China, must use. They would be glad that a harbour in your empire should be appointed to which coal might be brought, and where they might always be able to purchase it. In many other respects commerce between your empire and our country would he useful to both. Let us consider well what new interests may arise from these recent events, which have brought our two countries so near together, and what purposes of friendly amity and intercourse this ought to inspire in the hearts of those who govern both countries." Such were the moderate terms in which the ruler of Japan was addressed by the PRESIDENT of the United States ; but all the moderation, all the reason, all the justice in the world, prove ineffectual when employed towards barbarians. The only argument to be used now, therefore, by the American Government is the argument of marine artillery. Precisely at such epochs the interest of the intel ligent becomes enhanced in reference to particulars collected heretofore by the more adventurous among foreign travellers. As the very nature of the facts already enumerated sufficiently well indicate, Japan has been nearly a 3 much an unpenetrated mystery as China was prior to the descent made upon its coasts by the English. Fortunately, however, one work at least, comprising a remarkable fund of information re lating to the island and its inhabitants, has been sub mitted to the public by the editor of the en thralling narrative of an officer in the Russian navy,* the incidents of whose captivity, with several com panions, invest his volumes with a peculiar and irre• sistible fascination. From the pages of Captain Goeowere a remarkable insight is obtained into the manners and customs of the Japanese ; and in the new and revised edition of his work, re cently published by Mr. Coreame, there are given a variety of important details, showing the value of opening up commercial transactions with Japan, these particulars being condensed into a preliminary chapter, serving very ad mirably the purpose of an " Introduction." A. country like Japan, presenting to the mercantile world almost inexhaustible stores of coal, hemp, wool, rice, cotton, brimstone, dyestuffs, and indigo, to say nothing of their elegant and ingenious (so-called) japanned manufactures, is surely one capable of de- V7sloping its own resources, and with them the re. sources of other countries, by the exchange of those productions for such articles as broad cloths, black, yellow, and red ; fine baizes of the same colours, well napped; serges ; silk grograms and camblets ; velvets; musk, sold for its weight in silver ; India❑ cloths, satins, damasks, Holland cloths, diaper, thread of all colour., carpets for tables, gilded leather painted with pictures and flowers ; painted pic tures, especially those representing battles by sea or land ; quicksilver, vermilion, paint and cosmetics ; copper, in plates ; lead in small bars, lead in thin sheets ; tin in blocks, iron, steel, t apes t r y, leaf-gold, gold-twist, or sewing gold ; sugar in candy: and in powder ; gauzes, raw silk, silk thread ; glass of all kinds ; salt ; blank paper books; Spanish soap, amber; silk stockings, fine leather, glove leather; candle-wax, honey, pep. per, spices, drugs, especially columbo root; coloured wood for cabinet ware ; elephants' tusks, harts horn gilded ; rock alum, &c. By turning to the ro mantic, but at the same time, we believe, strictly veraci ous chapters of Captain GOLOWNIN it will be perceived yet more clearly how far benefits may be reaped by the commercial nations of Christendom on the re moval of the taboo hitherto placed by their own rulers on Japan and the Japanese. " Japan and the Japanese, comprising the Narra tive of a C apt i v i ty i n J apan , an d an Account of British Commercial Intercourse with that Country." By Cap tain Golownin, of the, Russian Navy. Now and revised Edition. 2 Vols. Lotidon: Colburn and Co., 1552. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the propriety of admitting persons professing the Jewish religion to seats in either House of Parliament, there can be none whatsoever as to the justice of relieving Alderman SALOMONS from the fearful disabilities to which he may be exposed should judgment be finally given against him—disabilities which, if enforced, would hencef o r war d ren d er hi m little better than an outlaw, makin g him, in fact, as stated by Lord CAMPBELL, carry about with him a caput lupinum, so that he might be knocked on the head with impunity. The Bill last night brought forward by Lord LYNDHURST in the House of Peers has nothing whatsoever to do with the qu es ti on o f ma nctieprafteiroen, nor does it i n any degree p with the p o i n t now sub judice. Ijeetrluciic will e evenlleor In leave the pecuniary penalties untouched, so that if the judgment of the Co ur t o f E xchequer ' be confirmed, the Honourable Gentleman will be compelled to pay the sum of 500/. with th e f u ll costs of the suit. He would incur a s i m il ar c h arge for being orsevery ~ offence time be sat and voted in the H ouse o f CAD. m penalties for the so-called crlmu li v i vo . It is perfectly clear that this severe ens tinent alone w ould be amply s u ffi c i ent to pre vent, any person from wilfully diregarding i its provisions. A seat n the popuar branch of the Legiilatur- would be an exueAingly expensive luxury if five hundred pounds sterling, exclusive o f costs, should be paid for everyday that its privileg es were exercised. No man in his senses would su bj ect himself to such a charge Eve for the purpose of raising a doubtful and important legal point, an d placing it in train for adjudication before a compe tent tribunal. As the Noble and Learned Lord, by whom the questicn was last night introduced, truly remarked, the sole object of Alderman SALomors wag, " after the various discussions on the subject in the House of Commons, to place his case in such a position as to obtain the opinion of a court of law thereon ;" and " he conducted himself throughout with as much propriety and decorum as was possible under the circumstances." Nor was it a frivolous or vexatious course, recklessly and hastily adopted ; he had received the highest encouragement from per sons of great eminence and learning, who thought that he had fully complied with the requisites of the penal statute, and that the words " on the true faith of a Christian" constituted a part of the form only, and not of the substance of the oath, so that they might lawfully ,be omitted. And even one of our most distinguished Judges (➢Tr. Baron Manner) was of the same opinion. It would therefore be monstrous, if for the assertion of what was reasonably supposed to be a legal right and privilege, the Honourable Gentleman should be placed in such a position as that described by Lord LYNDHURST, when he said that_" any person offending against this Act, besides the pecuniary penalties to which he was liable, was disqualified from maintaining an action at common law or a suit in equity. What ever violence he might suffer either in his person or in his property, he was left entirely with out remedy. Any property belonging to him in the possession of another might be withheld from him, and any property in his possession might be taken from him with impunity. No court of law, no in fluence of Government, nothing but the intervention of Parliament could give him redress. In the next place, a person in this position could not act as guar dian to an infant, however important it might be in a moral or a physical point of view that the infant should experience his care, attention, and protec tion. In the third place, a party offending against this Act of Parliament could net receive a legacy from any deceased friend or from any other person. He could not receive a deed of gift of any property whatever. Further, he could not be either the executor or administrator of any person what ever. He was also rendered incapable of holding any office or of giving a vote at any election." Is there any person, however bigotted, who can assert that such fearful penalties are proportionate to the offence, if offence it be—that they are becoming the middle of the 19th century, or should be permitted longer to encumber the national statute-book ? They are, in fact, the remnants of the barbarous prejudices which existed in other times, when men were denied the liberty of worshipping their CREATOR in the manner which in their souls and con sciences they believed to be the most be coming and most acceptable to the DEITY. They can now be only regarded as disgraceful to the age in which we live, and should, for the sake of public credit, be- expunged without a moment's delay from the existing code. The PREMIER fully acknowledged the propriety and justice not only of repealing these objectionable enactments, but of bringing in a special Act of in demnity for Alderman SALOMONS. His only doubt was as to the time when such a proceeding would be proper. His Lordship thought that the matter should be postponed until the ultimate decision of the suit—until the Honourable Gentleman should pre sent a petition representing the actual grievances under which he was suffering, and not merely the contingent consequences that might arise. Now, we would suggest with all submission to the Noble Lord, that great inconvenience and annoyance might arise in consequence of the Postponement. Should Alderman SALomoms find it necessary to become a suitor to any of our legal or equitable tribunals, he would be utterly de barred from obtaining the relief to which be might otherwise become entitled. Should he become entitled to any legacy, it would be absolutely forfeited and become the property of another person or persons, who might object to the ex postfucto legislation that would strip them of what would then be their property according to the existing All these difficulties would be avoided by fol lowing the course indicated by Lord LYNDHURST, while the passing of the Bill, which was last night read for the first time, would.have no effect one way or other on the now pending appeal from the judg ment of the Court of Exchequer. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vica-Chancellor PARKER.) THE RIVAL OPERA HOUSES. LUMLEY v. WAGNER. This cause haring been fixed to como on this morning, the court was crowded some time before the time of commencing business. The repeated delays and disap- pointments which have occurred in tho course of this case have not extinguished the curiosity of the public. His Honour having disposed of several short causes and claims, and the motion of " Lumley v. Wagner" having been called on, Mr. BETIIELL said, that as the affidavits in this case were very long, and as they had only been submitted to the other side on the previous evening, it was quite im possible that his Learned Friend should have made him self acquainted with them, and he must necessarily be in the dark as to their contents. It was desired by Mdlle. Wagner, or rather by Mr. Gye, that the fullest possible opportunity should be given to Mr. Lumley to bring forward any reply which he might think necessary for the purpose of maintaining his own case. What he should ask then would be to permit this C 230 to stand over until Friday, and to be set down at the head of that day's paper. He understood that his Learned Friend did not intend to file any more affidavits, and if on his part any more were filed, he would take care that copies should be furnished. Mr. BACON said that he had copies of all the affidavits, but not of the exhibits. The VICE• CHANCELLOR said it was very desirable that each party should come into court fully prepared to go into the case, and he should therefore very wil lingly accede to the request of Mr. Bethell. Atter a brief conversation between the parties, the case was ordered to be at the head of the paper for Friday morning. SECONDARIES —(THIS (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) FELLINGHAX U. KENT. The plaintiff was described as of Chelsea, law agent, and defendant as a conveyancer of the same place. 'The action was brought to recover the sum of 61. 10s., the balance of an account for work and labour done and money paid on account of the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. On the part of the plaintiff it was proved that he had paid 31. 15s. for defendant as a premium on a policy of insurance, and the remainder of the claim was for at tendance at Judges' Chambers on summonses in an ac tion against defendant. For the defendant it was contended, that under tho 6th and 7th Vic., c. 73, s. 35, no. person except a certi ficated attorney could commence, prosecute, or defend, auy action, or recover for any fee, reward, or disburse ment, and any person so acting as an attorney should be deemed guilty of contempt of court, and also be liable to certain penalties. In reply it was urged that plaintiff was acting merely as an agent, and that it was a common practice at Judges' Chambers to hear agents. The Learned SECONDARY said the Judges would not allow it if they knew it; it was an irregularity of the worst kind. It appeared to him that plaintiff had been doing the work of an attorney, and could not recover; but he was entitled to the amount paid on the in surance. A verdict was then entered for 3/. 153. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) John Mayhew, a builder, pleaded not guilty to an in dictment charging him with violently assaulting Janet Trindall, on the 22 d of March. Mr. Metcalf appeared for the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant and other witnesses that on the day named the prisoner went to the Earl of Zetlani public-house, kept by the com plainant, and some words having ensued about the hus band of Mrs. Trindall having given a building job to another builder, the prisoner was ejected from the house. The prisoner after some time forced his way in, and at once proceeded to the most gross and disgraceful vio lence. The prisoner took hold of a handful of her hair, and pulled it completely out. Ho then struck her four times, field knocked her down twice and bit her head against the wall several times. Some of the prisoner's confederates struck her over the head and eyes with a trowel, and broke her nose. In consequence of the severe bruises she had been very ill ever since, and was in a bad state of health. The prisoner had absconded at the time. .Usher witnesses were called to prove that, hearing the cries a" Murder," they went to the assistance of the complainant, arid they als3 got several severe bruises. Tho ASSISTANT th7DGE having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to si x ca l en d ar mont h s hard labour in the House of Correction.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed with _less demand, butprices were steady, a shade against the buyers. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 61d; 20 Bahia, at 6id.; 800 Surat, at 3id. to 411; and 300 Sea Island, at ls. lid. to Is. 7d. per lb.—The Share Market was steady at rather firmer prices. To-day there is a complete lull in the Colonial Pro duce markets, and no public sales of Sager or Coffee are in progress. la review of the past month's transactions in produce Messrp. Wilkinson and Jewesbury state that—" Since the reduction in the rate of discounts by the Bank on the 22d ultimo, the foreign and colonial produce markets have been favourably influenced; importers for some time past have evinced firmness in their demands, the range of prices being extremely low for many articles. The stocks in the hands of dealers are below the ave rage' and, with increased confidence, a very heavy busi ness has been dons both by public sale and by private contract, at improved rates. The chief amount of tran sactions has been for legitimate trade, and but little on speculative account; this gives the markets a healthy tone, which' at present promises to continue. The imports have been very moderate, come . ; quent upon the continued contrary wind, bat cnenge having atlength taken place, large arrivals will ensue. The accounts from the continental markets re- pert a steady demand for produce, with an upward ten dency in prices. Dyes and dyeing materials have been in good request during the past month, prices generally are higher, and as present rates are really moderate, it is confidently expected they will further improve." The new light thrown upon the position of the gold companies of California that hold leases from Colonel Fremont, in consequence of the Nouveau Monde agents having considered it advisable not to take possession of the property assigned to them, and upon the assump tion that the Colonel's title is still involved in doubt, may probably lead to counter explanations, but it is stated that Colonel Fremont is at present in Paris, and consequently not informed of what has occurred. The letters for India vid Marseilles will be dispatched on the evening of the Bth inst. The Mexican mail is now due. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 3d inst., was steady for home securities. Nothing particular was done in foreign. Bills of Exchange upon the principal continental cities were negotiated yesterday afternoon, at steady rates. The return has been completed of the exports of fo reign and colonial merchandise during the month ended the sth April, 1852. In 1851 the number of pounds of Coffee exported during the month was 854,993, while in the present year 1,596,397 lbs. were exported. Of Wheat 163 qrs. were exported in 1851 against 9,592 this year. Last year Cotton manufac tures, not ma de up, were exported to th e ag ainst 10,4501. in 1852. The v a l ue o f v th a e lu e e xopforltl;t9i3o4nll; of Cotton Yarns this year was 5,2701., and in 185 1 th e y were valued at 14,8051. Of Guano 4,654 tone 8 have been s e x p orted, Rtee were export e d aga i nst against 3,715 l ast year. This 24,49 b - last year at the same time. The export of Silk 1,556 cw ts. of manufactures for the month last year amounted to 2,2031b5. against 66,3161b5. for the like period this year.

The number of gal lons of Wine exported in 1851 was 180,368 against 118,024 in the month of this year; and 39,531 crits. of Cotton Wool last year were exported against 53,103 owts. in the present. In articles of British and Irish produce -there has been an increase in the exports of beer asd ale, butter, earthenware, glass manufactures, linen yarn and woollen yarn, for the month, but a falling off in cotton manu factures' ditto yarn, haberdashery, and milli ner y. Th e declared value of the enumerated articles shows a diminution in the present year to the value of 565,7811. for the month as compared with the like period of 1851. me exports for the month shows an increase in flix, hides, and (plum, but a con siderable falling off in cocoa, coffee, Lemp undressed, potatoes, rice, silk, spice, spirits, sugar, tea, tobacco, and wool, as compared with the month to the like date in 1851.

The bhow of English Wheat here to-day being season ably good, and the attendance of buyers very limited, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state at Mon day's decline in the quotations. For forward delivery next to nothing was doing, yet growers in general re fused to accept lower rates. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week, chiefly from the westward. Really fine qualities were scarce, and held at full currencies, but low and middling parcels were much neglected. Floating cargoes were very dull, the demand for Holland having ceased. Malting Barley firm, and quite as dear. Grinding and distilling sorts were heavy. We had a dull inquiry for' Malt, yet the maltsters held most qualities at former rates. Oats steady, at prices fully equal to those of last • week. Beans and Peas firm; but Indian Corn afloat was heavy. Very large suppliei of American Flour being on offer, the trade was dull, at barely stationary prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

ARRIVAL OF MERCHANT SHIPS IN THE To A,_ l " f Yesterday and on Monday no fewer than 331 ven e h js , Zus classes arrived in the river, and were entered efo'r'eig.-Di and tom-house. Of this number 139 were from colonial ports, and were in the aggregate, by the °lfici T a ndiat turns, 31,073 tons burden; 15 of these were frnin „ g ge Chine, Ceylon, and the Indian Archipelago, of t °° "• - o lis varying from 400 to 1,100; 25 from the British in the West Indies, 9 from the Mediterranean, 4 from th e in co d' Cape of Good Hope (including Algoa Bay), 4 from 3 America, 4 from the United States and British America, from the Australian colonies, 8 from the Western Islay 0 , (Azores), and 72 from Portugal, the northern ports of liPa' o d France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Prussia, Ruesit,„ B o . Norway ; in the latter number are included the f?'", s , • vessels trading to those countries. The remaining 192 IL sot possessit. 6 sels were colliers and coasters. From the very 17; 7 numbers of foreign arrivals it was a matter of some difli o; s to provide tidawaiters at Gravesend to accompany the I T w as to London, and consequently a less number than usua boarded on each vessel, but a much more serious incovint . elms was experienced in consequence of the insufaciennLr.
