COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) THOMAS V. HOBLER. This is a motion by the defendant:calling on the plain tiff to answer for falsifying the mining cost book produced since the hearing of this appeal on 15th July last, by falsely introducing between the leaves of the cost book, a prospectus of the company dated 29th December, 1853,—a report of the directors, and a report of a meeting cut out of the Mining Journal, to the prejudice of the defendant. Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., was heard for the defendant, and read several affidavits in support of the motion. Mr. Sandel was examined orally by the Lord Chancellor, and his belief was, that the alterations complained of were made by the plaintiff, as no other person could have any interest in making them. The Lord Chancellor left it to Sir Hugh Cairns to say whether he should proceed any farther with the motion. Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., on consulting with his client, said his only object was to remove the objectionable pro ductions, and the affidavits produced showed the grounds on which the application was made ; but he was willing not to proceed any farther with the motion. Mr. bolt, Q.C., said that the character of his client was so much implicated that something more than costs must be given to him. The Lord Chancellor proposed to discharge the motion with costs, and to declare that there was no imputation on the character of the plaintiff, but as the counsel for the parties were not satisfied, Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., pro ceeded, and is now being heard on the remainder of his motio n. COURT OF DIVORCE. WAISON V. WATSON AND WILKINSON-DAMAGES LAID AT £lO,OOO. This was a suit instituted by Sir Charles Watson, Bart., for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent, and he claimed £lO,OOO damages. Both respondents pleaded, denying the charge, and alleging several acts of adultery against the petitioner. Mr. Sergeant Hayes, Mr. Hanner, and Mr. Wells ap peared for the petitioner; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the respondent, and Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Cole for the co-respondent. Mr. Sergeant Hayes, in opening the case yesterday, said that all the parties in this suit were highly respectable. The petitioner was the son of Sir Chas. Watson, a baronet of ancient family, the resr ondent was the daughter of a highly respectable gentleman, and the co-respondent was a gentle man of fortune in Kent. Ile parties were married at Genoa in 1854, and cohabited until May, 1860, during which time there had been four children issue of the marriage. Sir Chas. and Lady Watson lived at Wratting Park, in Kent, and Mr. Wilkinson at Upper Hare Lodge, his country seat, which was situate about nine or ten miles from the residence of Sir Charles 'Watson. Sir Charles Watson was a gentleman of weak intellect, and for some time his wife had managed the whole of his affairs. Mr. 'Wilkinson, who was a married man, was in the habit of hunting with Sir Charles 'Watson, and visited at his house, and unfortunately suceeded in seducing the affections of Lady *Watson, who eloped with him ; since which event all cohabitation between her and her husband had ceased. Since leaving her husband, a female domestic of Sir Charles 'Watson had received a letter from Lady Watson, stating that she had returned to her family, and that in future she would devote herself to the service of God, and requesting this female to ask Sir Charles Watson to send her some books and music. Martha Spence, examined by Mr. Wells—l was house keeper of Sir Charles Watson, and have been in that capa city in the family for 24 years. I remember the marriage of Sir Charles, and his bringing home his wife from abroad. They resided principally at Wratting Park until 1860. Lady Watson's mother and sister used occasionally to visit her. I never saw Sir Charles behave otherwise than kindly to his wife. I know Mr. Wilkinson, the co respondent. He was in the habit of visiting Sir Charles at . Wratting Park for the last eight or nine years. After the marriage Mr. - Wilkinson was in the habit of coming to Wratting Palle, sometimes before Sir Charles was up. That was on the occasion of their going out hunting together. With the exception of one or two cases, I never knew him to call when Sir Charles was absent; and those cases were when Sir Charles was in London. I cannot say how long they were together on such occasions. Lady Watson had to place Sir Charles in a lunatic asylum, where he was kept from November, 1855, until May, 1856. She had the management of the estate.' On the Ist of May, 1860, Sir Charles was in London, and on the 2d of that month Lady Watson left Wratting Park about twelve o'clock in the day. It was not known to the ser vants that she intended leaving until the evening previous. She said she was going to meet her brother, Captain Tredcock. She carried with her two boxes, one with an oval cover and a bag. She was dressed in a brown silk dress, with flounces, a brown cloak, a black muff, and a white bonnet with blue ribbons. She never returned to Wratting Park, She bade her children good bye, and de sired them to be good girls ; but she left no orders respect ing them. All the children are girls. The eldest was seven last February, and the youngest will be three on the 27th of March next. After Lady Watson left, Sir Charles came to Wratting Park with Captain Tredcock, in search of Lady Watson. I knew nothing more until I received the letter from Lady Watson. (This was the letter referred to by the learned counsel ; it was addressed 16, Half-moon-street, and dated January, 1861.) The children have remained in my care since Lady Watson left, but they have been taken to see her. TILE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Captain F. Woolley, with these mails in charge of Cross. examined by Mr. O'Malley—Sir Charles was fond of lying in bed late. I never saw anything bad with him. He used sometimes to spend his evenings out. I have known him spend the night out several times. He has gone out after dinner, but he returned by bed-time. Newmarket is about 10 miles from Wratting Park. On one occasion I think he went out in his hunting dress, and he did not come back until the next morning. Sir Charles and Lady Watson sometimes went to Bury. I did not accom pany them, but Lady Watson's maid used to go with them. Sir Charles used to wear spectacles, which were generally screwed to his hit. I know Ellen Cracknell. She lives in the village of Wratting, and is a woman of bad character. I knew that Si' Charles was ill on one occasion after his marriage, when his mother came to see him. Ido not re collect.the year. I did not know that Lady Watson was ill afterwards, and I never knew her to be ill except in her confinements. Ido not remember a medical man attend ing Sir Charles on the occasion of the illness alluded to. Lieutenant Balfour, R,N., naval mail agent, ar rived at Southampton at 4.30 p.m. yesterday. She left St. Thomas's on the 29th ult., and experienced fine weather up to the Bth inst., when she encoun tered some rough weather, increasing to a gale, and a very high sea running from the westward ; sub sequently decreasing wind and sea from N.W. for about 24 hours, and then a fresh gale, with heavy Samuel Ship stated that he was gardener to Mr. Wilkin son for four years, and until March, 1861. He remem bered his leaving his lodge last May, about half-past 8 in the morning. Mrs. Wilkinson was at home on that day, but she left the next day, and he did not see her for about three weeks afterwards, when she returned to the park for three or four days. The establishment had since been broken up. sea from S.S.E., continuing up Channel, with thick rainy weather. In cross-examination, he said that he was aware that Mr. Wilkinson and his wife had been recently living at Richmond. Captain Dalton, master of the English bark Lena wrecked at Belize, in ballast ; Capt. David Keith: master, and the crew of the English brig Duke of Bronte, of Liverpool, abandoned and condemned at Belize; and Captain Thomas Ferris, master, and _ _ _ , - the crew of the English brig Fairy, of Liverpool, shipwrecked at St. Domingo, have all come home in the Atrato. Accounts from all parts of the West Indies show that great indignation was felt by people of all classes throughout the Islands at the attack on the mail steamer Trent by the American frigate San Jacinto. Her Majesty's ship Cadmus, 400 horse power, 21 guns, Captain Henry S. Hillyer, C. 8., senior officer of the windward station, had arrived at St. Thomas's from Barbadoes, having gone there Evidence was then adduced to show that about the middle of last May Mr. Wilkinson met Lady Watson at the South- Eastern station, when she was in a cab, and that they went to the Bridge-house hotel, London-bridge, together. Several other witnesses were examined to-day, but the case will not conclude before Monday. to protect British vessels from any similar outrage. Admiral Milne, with this squadron, was daily ex pected at Bermuda. Despatches from the British Consul at St. Thomas's, and a copy of the protest of Captain Moir, of the Trent, had been forwarded to the Admiral. Great interest was excited at St. Thomas's and all the West India Islands by the movements of the Confederate steamer Sumter. On the 23d ult. an American schooner arrived at St. Thomas's from Martinique, with despatches for the American Con sul from the United States' steamer Iroquois, stating that the Sumter was in the port of St. Pierre, and as, in the event of a chase, the Iroquois required more coals, so the schooner was laden with coals, and at midnight same day was towed out and for Martinique by the United States' steamer Dacotab, also sent in the hopes of the speedy capture of the Confederate vessel. The Northerners were greatly excited, and thought there would now be short work in her capture, being watched so closely by one vessel, and another sent to assist ; but, to their chagrin, the Iroquois arrived on the 25th, reporting her escape. It appears that the Iroquois arrived at St. Pierre, Martinique, on the 16th of November; the Sumter had just coaled, provisioned, and also landed several prisoners taken out of Northern vessels, and was ready for sea ; the Iroquois re mained standing on and off the port, closely watch ing the Sumter. On the 23d a French steamer sailed in the evening, and the Sumter availing herself of the darkness went out at the same time, but in opposite direction, and the Iroquois reports chasing the Frenchman first, when, finding the mistake, the Sumter had gone off entirely. The American ship Montmorenci, from Newport, with 1,718 tons of coal on board for the Royal Mail Company, arrived at St. Thomas's on the 28th of November, and Captain Brown, the master, reports having been boarded and captured on the 25th by the Sumter, but, in consideration of the cargo be longing to British subjects, the vessel, which had been ordered to be burnt, was released, the master being compelled to give bonds for 20,000 dols. pay able three months after the establishment of peace between the United and Confederate States. The register of the Montmorenci bears the following indorsement : " The ship Montmorenci, of Bath, Maine, was this day captured by the Confederate States' steamer Sumter, in lat. 18 30 N., and long. 58 40 W. ; but having on board a neutral cargo, belonging to Eng lish subjects, she was released upon a ransom bill. 4 ‘ R. SEMMES, Commander, C.S. Navy. " Confederate States' steamship Sumter, Nov. 25, 1861." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). It was also reported that an American vessel laden with molasses had been captured and burnt subse quently to the above. The Sumter was seen only a short distance from St. Thomas's on the 28th of November, and the Iroquois, which had been in the hatbour four days, proceeded to sea on the afternoon of the 29th of November to search for her, without even taking in coals, which she said she was so short of as to prevent her chasing the Sumter when escaping from Martinique. The United States' frigate Macedonian was also in port; the Powhattan and Keystone State had returned to the States, both having been sent to the West Indian islands to endeavour to capture the Sumter, the latter baying steamed 15,000 miles without even seeing her once. The French war steamer Milan sailed from St. Thomas's on the 23d ult. for Havannah ; and the Spanish screw frigates Lealtad, 41 guns, and Con cepcion, 37 guns, having coaled at St. Thomas's, sailed for Havannah on the 18th. Preparations were making at Grenada and Trini dad to give a cordial welcome to his Royal High ness Prince Alfred, who is expected to visit those places early in the coming year. Despatches had been received at Grenada from Governor Hincks and Major Cowell, the young Prince's governor, announcing that his Royal Highness is to return to the West Indies early in January, to honour those colonies which the limited time at his disposal pre vented his visiting last season. His Royal High ness, on board of her Majesty's ship St. George, after calling at Halifax and Bermuda, will proceed to Grenada, where he is expected to arrive on the 12th of January. From Grenada the Prince will go to Tobago and Trinidad. The Jamaica Legislature met on the 12th ult., and immediately on the House of Assembly being constituted leave of absence was applied for and granted to the Hon. C. M. Morales, the Speaker, on account of ill health. Two gentlemen were nomi nated for the vacant chair—the Hon. Edward Jor- BOW-STREET. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—Mrs. Wilson again attended to meet the charge, but the case was adjourned for the production of witnesses to prove a previ ous marriage with Gotobed. don, C. 8., member for the city and senior member of the House, and the Hon. Henry Westmoreland, member for Metcalfe. Fifteen votes were recorded for each, and the tie produced great excitement. The Governor immediately issued a proclamation adjourning the House till the following Friday, on which day the members again assembled amid a scene of great excitement. The nominator of Mr. Westmoreland, however, withdrew that gentleman, and Mr. Jordon was unanimously elected, and ' inducted as Speaker amid loud applause. The Governor then formally opened the session in a lengthy speech, which was well spoken of by the papers generally. The civil strife existing in Ame rica was referred to, and, in connection with it, the recent commercial panic in Jamaica. The recent census engaged his Excellency's attention, and the returns were subsequently laid before the House. The following is an epitome:---Males, 213,521 ; females, 227,734 ; total, 441,255. Whites, 13,816 ; browns, 81,065; blacks, 346,374 ; total, 441,255. The question of immigration had prominent notice in the speech. His Excellency intimated that the Act of the previous Session was still under the con sideration of the Imperial Government, and held out prospects of additions to the labouring population being obtained. His Excellency announced that the receipts of the Treasury for the year ending the 130th of September last had been found sufficient to meet the unavoidable annual expenditure, and that the export of the principal staples was slightly in excess of that of the previous year. Amid the difficulties and discouragements with which the planters are struggling, it is cheering to find that the export of staples is steadily increasing, that for the year ending 30th of September last being the largest upon record for the 10 years which then ter minated. Both the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly replied to the Governor's speech in a friendly spirit, and there was every appearance , of the business of the session proceeding peaceably and harmoniously. The members of the Executive Committee in the House had presented the annual financial returns, and several bills were read a first time and ordered to stand for a second reading on an early day, and the financial statement was to be made on the 26th tilt, It was expected that, even if the business of the session could not be got through by Christmas, the session would not be a long one. A grand ball was given at King's house on the night of the 13th in honour of Prince : Alfred's birthday. In business circles things were still dull, but the prospects for next year were cheering, as the coming cropof staples was expected to be a large one. The season continued genial, and the weather was delightfully cool. Colds and fevers, induced by the change in the atmosphere, were, as usual at this period of the year, very pre valent in the city. From Grenada there is nothic g new to be re ported in regard to the crops, the weather, or the sanitary state of the island, everything remaining as at the date of last mail. Several valuable island properties were in the market. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—CharIes Modena, described as interpreter, was charged with robbing Mr. Chick, of the Rodney's Head, Robert-street, Grosvenor- square. Mir. Chick said the prisoner had lodged at his house some time, and in consequence of something his servant said he missed from his house some blankets. On the pri soner coming in last night he tamed him with it, and he said he had taken some but not stolen them. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said on prisoner being taken into custody he said he had not stolen the blankets but pledged them, and sold the tickets to Mr. Galloway, a priest. He afterwards, however, found four tickets on him. He wished for a remand, as he believed the prisoner had been in ens.- tody before. Mr. Yardley said he should remand the prisoner, with the view of having inquiries made, till Friday next, THAMES. SANGUINARY STABBING AFFRAY.—Pedro Antonio aged 25, a Spanish seaman, was brought up, on remand, charged with cutting and wounding Vincenso Crosora. It appeared that a few nights since the parties were in the Rose and Crown publichouse in Ratcliffe-highway, and a quarrel and fight took place between two girls. Onewas the prisoner's girl, the other had been staying with Crosora. The pris,ner avowed himself the champion of his own frail and turbulent sweetheart, and struck her adversary. The row became general, and the prosecutor took the part of the other girl. Knives were drawn by the Spaniards, and the prisoner cut CI osora on the head and plunged his knife into his shipmate's right cheek and made a hole in it, in flicting a most terrible wound. A rush was made upon Antonio, and the knife was taken from him. In doing this a man's hand was severely cut. In the melee the knife was lost. A young woman named Ellen Corben was struck and kicked by the prisoner and completely disabled. The wounded man has been under medical treatment since he was wounded. There was a large hole in his cheek, which the surgeon proved he lost a good deal of blood from, and he is not likely to recover from the effects of the wound for some time. Mr. Selfe asked for the woman Corben, and was informed she would not appear, and that one of the principal wit nesses, a sailor, had gone to sea in his ship. Mr. Selfe said it was no use sending this case for trial in the absence of two of the principal witnesses, and the Spa niard about to leave England. He should dispose of the case summarily. The outrage was a most abominable one, and the prisoner richly deserved penal servitude for a lengthened period. He sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. The Atrato spoke the schooner London Packet, of Ips wich, running up Channel, 20 miles S.W. of Portland. About 2 a.m. yesterday mcrning, off the Start, the Atrato observed a steamer, with two green lights and one white, coming on full speed towards her. Capt. Woolley promptly altered the course of his ship, and thus avoided a collision. The steamer then continued chasing, and altered her lights, taking in one green and putting red in its place. The Atrato was going slow at the time, it being very thick and dark. She was, however, put to full speed, and left the other behind. The Royal Mail Company's steamers Avon (from Colon) the Dement (from Jamaica), the Prince and the Tamar (for Colon), the Trent (refitting), and the Wye (from Bar badoes), were at St. Thomas's; the Clyde on the Gulf of Mexico route ; the Solent at Colon ; the Teviot at Jamaica, from Belize ; and the Thames at Barbadoes. The United States screw steamer Dacotah, 998 tons, 450- horse power, Commander J. P. Blainstry, arrived at St. Thomas's on the 21st ult. She carries four 32-pounders and two 11-inch Dalghren guns, and has a complement of 144 men. The Dacotah left Hongkong on the Gth of August, Batavia on the 27th of August, Angeer Point on the 20th of August, Cape Town on the 9th of October. She coaled and sailed for Martinique at midnight on the 23d, towing a schooner laden with coals for the Iroquois, at that place watching the Confederate steamer Sumter at St. Pierre. The United States frigate Macedonian arrived at St. Thomas's on the 27th ult. from Colon. The war steamer Iroquois arrived at St. Thomas's on the 25th ult from Mar tinique, having failed to take the Sumter; she sailed again on the 29th in further search of the Sumter, she having been seen only a few hours' distance from St. Thomas's. I and heretics, each have their distinct idea and peculiar expectation and hope of entering those regions of eternal repose. So also have the Japanese ; but perhaps it may now be the design of the Almighty to show them our way, and to allow us to prove to them that only one passport is necessary ; that there is but one real and sure way, and that Noah was only a type of the one great Saviour and Shepherd of mankind. In an interesting dissertation on the primeval style and manners of the Japanese we find the following remarks on the evidence of their remote antiquity as a nation : Providence may have had some inscrutable reason for allowing this nation to remain so long isolated and alone; for although there may be no ruins of Palmyra or Luxor to denote any very ancient architectural grandeur, there can be little doubt of the anti qu it y o f these isles, and of their bei A n s g atoll-dalyesarnsitnhgeyeawmere fromesoon afterthe E the flood. Egypt and . Assyria are supposed to have received much of thir learn ing from India and China, as the wise men who saw the star of Bethlehem came from the East, and as I fully be lieve that Japan owes nothing to China, might not all the good things we know of, and have improved :upon have originally emanated from this uttermost part of th e earth? Might not all the world once have been as Japan to-day is, with its Kamis and sun-goddesses? Might not the Apis and Osiris of the Egyptians, the Jupiters and Junos of the still more Western nations, have taken their origin in the veiled mysteries of one original Sintooism ? Nearly all we find in the West that man actually wants, or by nature re quires, either for food or raiment, is to be met with in the far East; and as it is almost universally admitted that the inhabitants of the nearest continent to Japan has never been even a temporary sojourner on its shores, we may infer that Japan furnished of her abundance to her neigh bours, who in their good time went and did likewise as they spread far and wide. The nations of the West, from the first visit of Marco Polo to our own day, have left few traces of their presence, except in history and memory, and these not of the most grateful or pleasant nature. Few things, if any, were copied by the Japanese, so that all we find amongst them to-day cannot be confined to such late dates. When Noah came out of the Ark, he selected Japan and colonised it with his sons ; he then, as his family increased, advised them to emigrate, and finally they became so nume rous, that to avoid dissension, and to obtain food for them selves and their flocks and herds, they separated, and as they could not very easily go east of the Japanese Isles, the inference is that they must have come to the West, and thus gradually the earth was repeopled, Thus Japan renovated the whole world ; and in the manner of their living there is so much of the patriarchal simplicity, and in their government, laws, and institutions so much of the primitive kindness and severity, similar to that which we read of in the " Book of Books," that before such a wild speculation is entirely discarded, let us know a little more of Japan from her legends, literature, and history. Some may take great pleasure in thus investigat ing this question, and may doubtless concur in the opinion expressed by the writer, that perhaps when " Petra was a capital, with green fields and noble forests around it, when Athens was the seat of learning, and Rome the mistress of the world, that the hermits of Niphon were as well informed as they are to-day, and that they may have retained the same primeval habits which, at the confusion of tongues and general dispersion consequent on the building of the Tower of Babel, were peculiar to those early times." The Japanese are early risers, and the devotees to domestic drudgery at home who have to get up hours before any visible effect is seen, will envy those distant folks whose duties are light in the housekeeping line, as they have no beds to make, no sofas, tables, or chairs to dust, and the room is instantly converted from a sleeping apartment into a shop or drawing-room, as required. The visits that are chronicled of the Japanese ladies are very singular. They seem a kindly race on the whole, and capable of great at tachment. The day before leaving the writer states that the parting interview was sad—all the Japanese were dressed ill black —which, though not mourn ing, is a sign of grief. They also drank out of cups of tortoiseshell, with the figure of a crane lacquered upon them, which meant to say, May your lives be as long as those of the Tortoise and the Crane. " VVt shall never forget the happy moments passed with these kind friends at Hakodate. If we found pecu liarities and customs to smile at and amuse us, no doubt we afforded them food for laughter and criti cism also." There are some plates that represent the various classes. Crinoline is certainly not in vogue in Japan, but its greatest enemy will agree that here is the other extreme, and a more comical figure than the Tea-Girl in the first page is seldom seen in the costumes of any country. This volume is most successful in its attempt to depict the laws and delineate the customs of a people now engaging great attention among us, and the author may be congratulated on the happy results of his labours, for many will pass a pleasing and profitable hour in the perusal of its instructive and entertaining pages. Books of foreign lands that serve to con vey at all an accurate impression of affairs are invaluable to the general reader, and this " Resi dence in Japan" will be sure to become a favourite from its attractive style, as well as from the great variety of its contents. This work may be recommended to all desirous of becoming ac quainted with the marvels and mysteries of a comparatively unknown country lately brought into notice, and of which all would be informed. LITERA T U.R E. A .Residence at Nagasaki and Hakodate in 1859.60, with an account of Japan generally. By C. Pemberton Hodgson, late Consul at those ports; with a series of Letters on Japan by his wife. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. This is a most interesting work on Japan that affords a considerable amount of information, and is written in a very pleasing style. The author was fcr a long period a resident in Japan in an official capacity, and the records we here meet with are authentic, and given with the confidence of one who speaks what he does know. In the preface he observes that " he has endeavoured in the following pages to present to the reader a faithful picture of what he saw and learnt dur ing his residence at Hakodate, as Consul of her Britannic Majesty." He furthermore states that all he advances may be relied on, as his opportu nities were great for receiving intelligence. The book commences with details of official visits, which are certainly curious. The feeling towards foreigners is thus explained, to account for the difficulties that arose in the carrying out of the treaties : Not that I impute their unwillingness to meet our new views to a wilful desire to annoy us, or a stubborn intention of tampering with us. I fully believe that, at Nagasaki, in June, July, and August, 1859, there was an under current of good feeling towars foreigners, and a desire to carry out the treaty in good faith; but the Government and its offi cials were totally unprepared for such a sudden displa' of wealth, and such a demand for merchandise as came in so suddenly upon them. They had only been accustomed to the insignificant monopoly of Holland, who, naturally, would not help us too zealously. But when they saw the united resources of Great Britain, Russia, and America, then, without being awed by the outward demonstration of physical and scientific power, which at once appeared to enforce perhaps, if necessary, a ratification of their respec tive treaties; without imagining or for a moment dreading that a severe retaliation might be the consequence of any infringement of its articles, the local Government of Nagasaki was paralysed at the enormous demand and unexpected drain on its home consumption and re sew ces, and was unprepared, even with advices and instruc tions from the capital, to meet such a huge commercial catastrophe. The writer speaks highly of the products of Japan. " Its rice is perhaps the most nutritious in the world ; the coal-beds are yet in their infancy, and unexplored, but they are supposed to be rich and extensive." There is an interesting account of an excursion into the interior. Some of the descriptions are very pleasing, and the intrepid travellers were rewarded for their exertions. " I had scarce reached the summit of the hill, when I looked me down where a hundred realms appear —lakes, forests, plains extending wide ! The panorama was really grand. In the distance, about 25 miles off, was the volcano, the end of our journey, below us an enormous lake, which had once been, perhaps, the crater of a volcano also; around us, not the Alps or Pyrenees, but delicious green-clad mountains, and there cer tainly was enough to ravish the eye and warm the heart." At the conclusion of the second excur sion the writer says : . My impression is still that the interior of Yezo is unin habited except by bears and animals; and that the natives are really icthyologists, vegetarians, and dwellers on the sea shore. I would add, before closing this letter, one remark, which is this, that, although it may not be in your day or mine, the forests of Yezo contain all the woods necessary for the fleets of any country ; and, please God, their undeveloped riches will, unknown even to the natives themselves, be come most valuable exports by and by, to the advancement of our religion and commerce, and to our mutual happiness and benefit—things most ardently to be desired. For then our treaty will be a treaty of friendship—ay, of real friend ship and amity. The quantity of sea-weed is most surprising, as here mentioned. The amount of sea weed is really incalculable ; from Ha kodate to Yenanai, following the shore, it is 22 miles in a straight line, but quite 60 miles if we follow the curves of the bays and ups and downs of the land ; and every avail able inch is covered with it. Each day, as the weed is a barometer, it is placed out to dry if the weed is not humid; otherwise it is covered up against the rainy day. I say so much on this weed, as it is a valuable export and edible, and, with rice, constitutes the cuisine of my neighbours. It is exported to China, and then sent up to those countries where salt is dear, being lighter as merchandise, and well adapted for cooking. There are few shells to be seen, but the beach is covered with agates and corallines of very pretty colours, and very elegant sea weeds and egg shells, as in the Red Sea, but the horns not so metallic. The sea weed (edible) was often ten feet long and two feet broad, and some of it had the appearance of beautiful lace, at least an eighth of an inch in thickness when first culled from the bottom of the sea. The account of Sirouey, to which they made another excursion, shows it to be a beautiful place. ‘' We mounted another hill about 1,600 feet in height, and from the beauty of the scenery, and terraced umbrageous side on the top and back of the hill, with valleys below, higher mountains to the north and north-west, rivulets, sources, and the grand Pacific to the east and south-east, we held a council of peace, and the spot was unani mously baptised La Suisse Japanoise, in opposi tion to 'La Suisse Saxe,' in Fatherland. Hero was a shady grove for poets and philosophers—sycamores, oaks, chestnuts, silver birch, alder, hazel, prune, guelder rose, rose, rhododendron, vicias. Number less legumirosae, the mimosa sensitiva were there, with all Flora's unknown attendants to wait upon and welcome us." The author states that there is no necessity to carry arms in Japan, for revolvers are provocatives instead of being preservers ; the best security he considers to be for all foreigners to reside in a common settlement. The letters of Mrs. Hodgson to her mother are very entertaining, and furnish a good account of the various places and the mode of life and curious manners. One very strange thing is the festival to the memory of the dead. The relations have to offer food and water to the manes of the deceased, and to illuminate their resting-places, as otherwise the souls would return to demand their rights and to punish the delinquents also. Boats are sent out on the water supplied with saki, rice, &c., to appease the demon of the ocean, so that the souls of the departed may rest in peace, and that future mariners might escape a watery grave. It is said, however, that the eatables on board do not go far, but "live gods in the shape of very substantial living beings, and possessing very earthly appetites, .were never far off the shore to pounce upon each little boat before it sunk for ever." The Japanese ideas of Purgatory are most peculiar, and not likely to make many converts to their religion : It appears that, on the demise of a Japanese, his b o d y i s burnt, and that his soul mounts to occovLov or the ever l as ting abode of perpetual bliss, after having per formed certain ceremonies, and b having mono through the ordeal described as indispensable to its reaching the acme of delight. One passport is demanded at the base of the mountain ' where it is officially vis6d by the benevolent priests and, it found en regle, he- aturally takes his fee and pass it on , till the soul of the departed meets with a volcanic Charon, who avariciously demands his obolus. At the next ferry or ladder a second pass, with the original passport, duly fortified with all legal and necessary :ignatures and seals, is demanded, and so the poor soul has to pay, even to the last, for his exit from this world of woe. This second pur gatory passed, the happy defunct breathes celestial air; and no doubt, having paid for his ambrosia, may look down with bowels of compassion on Sisyphus, .olides, and all our mythological acquaintances. In plain English, it requires two pasqp es to reach the summit of antediluvian Fusy-yama ; but once there, the soul of the departed can look down upon the scenes of earthly trial it has left in the vast abyss of human misery below, and enjoy, floating high above the storm's career, the prospect of indescribable bliss. May the poor soul eventually reach our Chri u s r ti k a s n , Heaven,infideioand be received (for "in my Father's h ouse are many man sions") in pity and compassion It Jews) T 71118 DAY'S MARKETS.
