For the present the situation appears 10 be this :—The Jeddo Government, who, in the terms of the despatch of the Prince of Satsuma's Minister, ' govern and direct everything,' have made and rati fied treaties of commerce with Great Britain and other European Powers. These treaties have proved very advantageous to the main body of the Japanese people, who feel the benefits of a profitable trade with foreigners, and wish that trade to continue. But a powerful feudal aristocracy, finding silk and rice and other produce dearer in the market, and their own privileges less valuable, wish to expel all foreigners, and have obtained a decree frem the Mikado to that effect. French, American, and Dutch ships have been fired upon with a view to accomplish this object. But the European nations cannot submit to be thus de prived of an intercourse sanctioned by treaty and very beneficial to the mass of the Japanese people as well as to European nations. You will, therefore, cal? upon the admiral in any cases where British persons, ships, or property are attacked, to resent such outrages. In this way security for the time may be obtained. Bat I must wait for your further accounts before complete instructions can be given as to our policy in Japan." IVNAHAN'S LL WHISKY v. COGNAC, BRANDY.

"My Lords,—l have the honour to inform your Lordships that I have instructed her Majesty's charge d'affaires in Japan that in any cases where British persons. ships. or property are attacked he should call upon the admiral commanding her Ma jesty's naval forces in Japan to resent such outrages; and I have to request that the admiral may receive such orders from your Lordships as will authorise him to act to that effect, so far es the means at his disposal may admit of his doing so. The Secretary of State for War some time ago gave orders for in creasing her Majesty's land forces in China by 1,000 men, so that in case of need the admiral will doubt less be able to obtain the suport of a large body of troops from China; and if with such assistance a force of 500 soldiers and marines should be avail able for service on shore in Japan, the batteries which may fire on British ships, and which are armed by the feudal chiefs for the purpose of an noying and interrupting foreign trade, may probably be destroyed, and security be obtained for the peace ful commerce of nations with Japan. Her Majesty's Government are equally desirous that, while British persons and property are effectually pro tected, no injury should be inflicted upon the Japa new population. With this view it will be incum bent upon the admiral or senior officer in command on the Japanese waters to endeavour to confine hos tilities undertaken by him, as far as posstble, con sistently with due protection to British subjects, their property, and their commerce, to forts and batteries not surrounded by the dwellings and places of the non-combatant inhabitants. It is, of course, part of the duty of the officers in command of the ships to return the fire of hostile batteries wherever they may be situated, but in planning expeditions to stations on the coast, the differences between forts placed to disturb commerce and bat.- teries erected for the defence of populous towns should always be borne in mind, and the first men tioned of these two classes of forts should be the object of attack, in all cases where there is no abso lute necessity to attack batteries of the second class.—l am, &c., " RUSSELL."

" With reference to my preceding despatch by this mail, your lordship will be less surprised to learn that the Prince of Satsuma, hastened to a sense of the increasing danger attending his obsti nacy in withholding the redress and reparation sought at his hands, and by the urgent declarations I have of late addressed to the Tycoon's Govern ment respecting a renewal of hostilities, has him self come forward and through his envoys sought to terminate the difficulties into which he had fallen with her Majesty's Government. I had no scruples in respect to receiving the Prince's envoys, more especially as they were ac companied by two of the Tycoon's officers, and I have the satisfaction to inform your lordship that after Jong and protracted discussions, extending over three days, the result has terminated in the agreement to make immediate payment of the indemnity, in an earnest written engagement not to relax in constant search for the murderers of Mr. Richardson, and to subject them to capital punish ment in the presence of one or more British officers when arrested. " I could hardly hesitate to accept these engage• ments, for it would have amounted to an unceasing and indefinite protraction of hostile action to have insisted upon the immediate arrest and execution of malefactors, while their power or ability to find or arrest them I was in no condition to assert or prove, " That the Prince of Satsuma should acknowledge the perpetrators of the murder to be deserving of death, and that he should engage not to relax in his efforts to bring them to justice, are of themselves guarantees for the future, while these admissions will, moreover, be suspended in terrorem over him should he fail in this or any other matter to act with good faith in regard to British subjects or British interests. " The immediate departure of the mail precludes my offering any further observations upon this un expectedly sudden and satisfactory termination of a most difficult transaction. I cannot, however, omit to acquaint your lordship that the information which has reached us from various sources, including some of the officers of the Prince of Satsuma, establishes the fact that the losses sustained by the prince and the punishmentinflicted by her Majesty's squadron at Kagosima were very considerable. The destruc tion of property is estimated at 11,000,000 sterling and the number of Satsuma's adherents killed and wounded is stated to have been 1,500." " Sir,—l have received your despatches of 16th and 17th November, the one reporting the with drawal by the Government of the Tycoon of the order for the expulsion of foreigners, the other giv ing an account of your communications with the agents of the Prince of Satsuma, which terminated in an agreement that the prince should pay the indem nity demanded of him for the sufferers on the 14th of Sept., 1862, and should endeavour to the utmost to discover the murderers of Mr. Richardson, and should cause them, when discovered, to be executed in the presence of Mash officers as witnesses of the execution. " Her Majesty's Government have received with the greatest satisfaction this intelligence of the ter mination of the pressing difficulties with Japan, and I have to convey to you their entire approval of the conciliatory and judicious manner in which you have conducted yourself generally in these matters. " Her Majesty's Government trust that they may now look forward to British intercourse with Japan being carried on without giving occasion for future collision. It is their earnest desire that nothing should occur to interfere with peaceful commerce, and they are prepared to make full allow ance foi the peculiar character of the Japanese Go vernment. In short, the emr4oyment of measures of coercion or retaliation could only bo warranted, in their opinion, by the necessit g of prompt inter ference for the protection of the li yes and properties of British subjects, or for the • vindication of the honour of the British flag if a. 3sailed by wanton attacks on the part of the Governs lent or influential nobles.

I.—Her Majesty's screw line-of battle ship Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Woodhouse, which had been so long expected from the Piricus, but had been detained on account of the rather un settled state of affairs in Greece, arrived on Sun day last. in five days, bringing with bpr ....al in valids and old stores. These were transferred to the Trafalgar, 72, screw line-of-battle-ship, Captain Y. Mason, which had been awaiting her arrival, and the Trafalgar sailed on the following day for Eng land, to be paid off, taking with her several hun dred bags of biscuits for the depot at Gibraltar, and the following passengers :—Lieut. Scriven, R.E. ; Lieut. Higgins, 25th Regiment ; Ensign Jefferson, and 47 naval and military supernumeraries. The Cossack, 20, screw frigate, Capt. W. R. Rolland, left at noon on Monday for Bengazi, with Mr. Saunders, electrician to Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., to test the Malta and Alexandria cable, and after landing her passengers on Wednesday sailed on return to Malta, arriving here on Saturday morning. M. de Sauty, electrician to the same firm, has passed through Malta for Alexandria to test the Alexandria end. He is expected back to night, to await the arrival here of the cable ship, ' which is on her way from England, when he will proceed in her, with an efficient staff of engineers and workmen, to repair the fault. From the test ing already made at Bengazi it has been pretty surely ascertained that no electrical defect exists, and that the interruption is owing to some mechani cal accident, which is believed to have happened nearer to Bengazi than at first supposed. It was most probably caused by a ship's anchor. Wind and weather permitting, no difficulty is anticipated, a speedy and complete repair being effected. While on the subject of telegraphs I muust mention that the electric cable which arrived here last week in the English screw steamer Semaphore, is for the Italian Government, to replace that laid by Messrs. Newell and Co. between Otranto and Avlona, on the Albanian coast, and which has defied all attempts to repair it. The new cable was made at the works of Mr. Hen ley, the manufacturer of the Persian Gulf cable. This short line will prove of great service in com pleting the communications with Greece and diffe rent parts of the Levant. There is a rumour that the Italian Government intends shortly to lay a cable between Marsala and Tunis, to be constructed also by Mr. Henley, which will place Malta in almost direct telegraphic communication with that regency and the province of Algeria. The Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company have announced that the line between the Dardanelles and Solo is interrupted, and that messages must consequently be sent by post to Gallipoli. The Caradoc, despatch vessel, Lieut.- Commander E. Wilkinson, has left Messina for Marseilles, where she is awaiting the arrival of Sir Henry Buiwer, whom she will convey back to Constantinople, via Messina. Her Majesty's screw frigate Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. A. Fortescue, left Malta on the 27th ult., with a company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. Bland and two subaltern officers, to assist in the demolition of the fortifications of Vido. Several amateurs pro ceeded in the same vessel, among them Major-Gen. Ridley. Her Majesty's screw gunboat Surprise, Commander W. H. Wayte, arrived this afternoon from Corfu and Zante, having left the former place on the 29th, and the latter on the 30th ult. She brings news of the arrival at Corfu of the Phcebe No orders had been received to stay the destruction of the fortifications at Vido. There has been an Austrian frigate in port since the 14th ult. awaiting sailing orders. She is the Conte Dandolo, Capt. Barone S. Dawdau Olewsky, and came here from Alexandria and Candle. The French screw steamer Jean Baptiste arrived yesterday from Marseilles, with upwards of 100 horses for the Egyptian Go vernment, and proceeded for Alexandria, after replenishing fuel and water. _ Ensign A. G. Dunn, 100th Foot, a promising young officer, expired on the 22d ult. at Fort Ricasoli. The deceased was a brother of Colonel Dunn, V.C., commanding the same regiment. Major Robert Dillon, formerly of the 32d Foot, and one of the few surviving veterans of the Peninsular campaign, died on Wednesday last, at the age of 77. He had been a resident of Malta for many years, and was much esteemed. A serious accident had occurred to Mr. Brook, a midshipman of her Majesty's ship Orlando. He fell from aloft, and received such severe injuries that his life was in a very precarious state. Her Majesty's iron screw storeship Supply, Master-Com mander Bowden, arrived this afternoon from Eng land with stores for the fleet. The screw steamship Syria, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, ar riving to-day at 4 o'clock, having made one of the fastest passages from Alexandria on record. Lady Elgin arrived at Suez on the 27th ult., in the Feroze, and after resting a few days was to leave for Alexandria on the Ist of Feb., and embark for Marseilles in her Majesty's steamer Psyche, which had room for her suite. It was not known if the Psyche would take the Malta or Messina route. The Racoon was expected to leave for Malta immedi ately on the arrival of Lady Elgin at Alexandria. The third official trial of the royal yacht Alberta, on this occasion, as on the second trial, under the personal supervision of Rear-Admiral R. S. Robin son, Controller of the Navy, took place in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, on Thursday. Captain his Serene Highness Prince Leiningen, with Sir C. Phipps and General Grey, from Osborne, and Vice- Admiral the Hon. Sir Fredrick W. Grey, K.C,8., with Rear-Admiral the Hon. J.W. Drummond, from the Admiralty,were on board during the trial. Before the yacht left Portsmouth harbour for the trial ground, Rear-Admiral Robinson intimated through the officer.in command of the yacht, Capt. H. Broad head, to the newspaper correspondents at the port, who were present according to their usual custom on the occasion of any trial of interest, that he, as the Controller of the Navy, objected to any report of the day's proceedings being made public. Under these unprecedented circumstances our correspondent de clined to go out of the harbour in the yacht. We are unable to furnish any report of the trial, and the re ports which we have already Published are so far incomplete as the results of Thur sday's experiments might in any Way have borne relation to them. How far this vessel is likely to fulfil all the duties for which she was constructed may very easily be sur mised from the fact of their rene wed trials. How far she actually will fulfil those 3 duties will very speedily be ascertained from the future metamor phoses she must undergo before being pronounced fit for the Queen's service, if indeed in the mean time she should not be condo tuned as altogether unfit, and her machinery taken out and placed in some other vessel. .

The great success which has attended the operations of the "Credit Fonder " in France is well known, and is evidenced by the fact that the original Shares (£io paid)are now worth £5O in the market, the la't dividend deelf red being at the rate of 16 per cent. per annum, after providing a large reserve fund. A conviction of the advantages which would be der;ved from the introduction of the same system into this country, and of the large profits attendant thereon, has led to the for mation of the "Credit Fonder " for Great Britain and Ire land. which for many months past has been under careful consideration. Although the objects of this Company are to some extent identical with those of another undertaking re cently introduced, yet the field of operation is ample for both, and t'here are also certain lucrative branches of business pro posed to be undertaken by the "Credit Froncier " which do not appear to have been contemplated by the Company re fe red to. The transactions of the Credit Companies recently estab lished range over a variety of interests, but they do not em brace the objects of the "Credit Fonder," as the daily ex perience of parties seeking for advances on landed securities 'sufficiently testifies. The "Credit Fonder" will receive money on deposit at ixed rates, and will issue debentures for long or short periods Advances will be made upon all kinds of interests in lands, buildings, and also upon approved securities, to be repaid as may be agreed upon. One of the main objects of this company will be to make advances upon the deposit of title deeds. Borrowers, to whom time is frequently of the utmost importance, will thus be enabled to obtain Loans for short periods, without the delay and expense to which they are now invariably subjected, and to avoid which a high rate of interest will readily be paid: from this source alone the Directors anticipate that consi derable profits will arise. In addition to the employment of its own resources, the " Credit Fonder" will act as agent between the capitalist and the borrower, and will, in such cases, for an adequate commission, if desired, guarantee the sufficiency of title and security. Whilst the commercial value of landed property will thus be enhanced, and every reasonable facility granted to bor rowers, the profits derivable from the various sources of revenue to arise from the transactions of the Company will be such as to allow of the payment of large dividends to the shareholders, after making ample allowance for working ex penses and a reserve fund. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full. Should a ess number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Mercantile Cre i it Association, 21, Threadneedle-street, of the Brokers, and of the Solicitors.

THE BOMBARDMENT OP KAGOSIMA, Yesterday morning the papers on this subject, 76 is number, were issued from the Parliamentary printing-office. We extract the following de spatches : "EARL RUSSELL TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL NEALE. (Extract.) " Foreign-office, Nov, 10, 1863, "I have received and laid before the Queen your despatches dated Yokohama, Aug. 25 and 26. In my despatch of the 24th of Dec., 1862, I directed you to obtain reparation for the murder of Mr, Richardson, and the murderous assault on a lady and two gentlemen who, with Mr. Richardson, were riding on a public road open by treaty, and who drew up on the one side of the road to allow the re lations from retainers of a great Daimio to pass. For this barbarous and unprovocked attack you were directedrequire Tycoon the payment of £lOO,OOO and an ample apo logy. You were further directed to require from a t d o the Pt ince of Satsuma the execution of the actual murderers, and the payment of £25,000 as indem nity to the relatives of the murdered man and to the sufferers from the murderous assault. With respect to the Tycoon's Government, the demands you were instructed to make have been complied with. The sum of £lOO,OOO has been paid, and a satisfactory apology has been made by the Tycoon's Ministers. Her Majesty has been pleased, in tes timony of the patience, good temper, and firmness with which you conducted this negotiation, to con fer upon you the Companionship of the Order of the Bath. The accomplishment of the remainder of your instructions has been found more difficult. Ten months having elapsed without the trial, or even the arrest, of the murderers, you thought yourself under the necessity to ask the assist ance of Admiral Kuper, and to proceed with him to Kagosima, the capital of the Prince of Satsuma. In your letters of August 1 and August 12, both de livered on the 12th, you communicated to the Minister of the Prince of Satsuma the demands you were instructed to make.. In the answer of the Prince of Satsuma, dated the 13th of August, it is stated that it isjust that a man who has killed another should be arrested and punished by death ; that if the murderers in question can be detected they shall be punished ; and that it is not right to impede the passage of a chief with a large body of retainers on a public road. These answers, in reference to a murder committed by the retainers of the Prince in full daylight, ten months before, upon a person who had not in any way impeded the passage of a public road, showed a fixed determination to afford no re dress. Vice-Admiral Kuper then directed that three steamers belonging to the Prince should be taken and detained by way of reprisals. But before any further communication could take place, hos tilities were commenced by the Japanese, and her Majesty's ships were fired upon from the batteries with shot and shell—an act which it became neces sary immediately to resent. The steamers taken many guns were dismounted exploded. It i s muc h t o b e were burnt. The bat teries were fired upon from: point blank range ; as the batteries were apparently a la n m d e v n a t r e i d ous gaz th m at a , ines situated in about the town, the consequence of firing with shot and shell upon the batteries and maga zines shonld have been to set fire to the town, which Admiral Kuper says has been burnt. Many innocent persons have thus unfortunately been in jured. At the same time it is obvious that if Admiral Kuper had not returned the fire of the batteries her Majesty's squadron would have suffered a defeat, and fresh murders of British subjects by the cruel and insolent Daimios would have been perpre trated. Her Majesty will express through the proper department her admiration of the gal lantry of her naval forces. It is my duty to request you to express to the civil servants of the Crown who accompanied you her Majesty's appro bation of their coolness and courage. Their know ledge of the Japanese language was no doubt of L great TAlue, both to you and to the nasal commander- _7 €e l4 . t i ; 7 ''' Art.-e-at 'IS MIT a ND 41 0 e.

Within the last two years, the " Journal of 0 Marquis de Dangeau" has been publi , hed in ri't,e teen volumes, and the " Memoirs of the i)lie Cr , Simon" in twenty volumes. Of these works, pair naturally together, yielding matter for a plea sant dash of anecdotical gossip over the Court of Louis XIV., the new number of the EdinburlA -Review speaks as follows : " Without I)augeau the Memoirs of Saint-Simon would perhaps never have existed in their com plete form ; without Saint-Simon the dry and frigid daily annals of Dangeau would never have been printed. Dangeau is the stock, incapable of pro ducing palatable fruit itself, on which the meat luxuriant and aromatic growth of French literature in that age was grafted. Dangeau, in his daily task of four and forty years, never rises beyond the level of the Court Circular; he witnesses the most im portant events of an eventful reign without an ex pression of wonder or emotion ; even his anecdotes are without point; he is as exact and as unmeaning as a piece of clockwork. Saint-Simon, on the con trary, painted in colours that will never die every figure and every scene, the bare mention of which suffices to his mechanical anti-type. In the slender entries of the one it is .nar cely possible to trace more than a feeble pulsation of passions which might have touched the soul of even a master of the ceremonies; in the torrent of eloquence and of scorn poured forth by the other, Versailles lives again, with all its conflicts, its follies, its jealousies, and its power. Dangeau was a gilded insect, hovering about the Court parterre, ex enthroned upon its blossoms; Saint-Simon was a mind, intent to try the Court by the touch and standard of honour, rectitude, and truth. The former shared the pleasures and the honours of Louis XIV. with out limit ; the latter cared little for his pleasures, and never possessed his confidence; but stood be hind his throne and upon his tomb to be the avenger of his faults, even to the third and fourth genera.. tion. The easy and prosperous Marquis cared not to cast a look beyond the galleries of Versailles, in which he spent his existence ; his conception of immortality was an apotheosis on a ceiling. How little could he have conceived it pos. Bible that he was day by day preparing materials for one who was to speak of all he adored in the language of doom—to consign himself and all his silken fellows to the pillory of history,and to herald by lurid and prophetic flashes the approach of that storm which the monarchy of France was not des tined to survive ! Dangeau, born in the King's own year, had seen the dawn and the meridian of a gay, splendid, and victorious reign, and his idolatry of the Royal Sun of France was at least sincere. When Saint-Simon came to Court, 37' years younger, the shadows were already lengthening; an age of cant had succeeded to an age of vice ; the gloom of religious bigotry was followed by the shame of unsuccessful war and the horror of unna tural deaths : long before he had completed his task the grave had closed upon Louis, and the heavens themselves were gathering over France: STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Feb. s.—lt is not often that commercial men gather much that is satisfactory from a Queen's Speech, but there was decidedly a better feeling in the cloth-market yesterday on receipt of that document in Man chester, and there was decidedly more inquiry from parties who had been holding orders in suspense. The hopes of a preservation of peace were no doubt considered satisfactory, and some purchases of considerable magnitude were made, probably in anticipation of some advance on the depressed prices of the day. To-day, however, though the impression derived from the debates in Parliament is quite as reassur ing as anything in the Royal Speech, the extent of buying has rather disappointed expectation. There has been an active inquiry with a view to testing prices, but manufac turers, having advanced their quotations a little, very littlo business has been effected. No doubt buyers in some cases have been desirous to await India advioes, which are ex pected to hand to 'morrow, and which, if favourable, may possibly give a more decided tone to business at the begin ning of next week. There is a strong feeling in favour of non-intervention among commercial men in the Danish and German war as well as in the American struggle, and a re quisition for a meeting to memorialise Government in favour of that view has been in the course of signature to-day. In yarns we have had a rather better day than for some time past, and in shipping yarns many who have been hesitating to give out orders have placed them to-day, so that a fair amount of business has been done. There has been no change of prices, which remain as at the beginning of the week. In home trade yarns there has been a better feeling, and a moderate business has been effected atTuesday's prices. On the whole we have a better feeling in all departments of the market, but only a moderate business is offering, and buyers seem indisposed to give any advance in price. BRADFORD, 4th.—To-day a cheerful tone prevailed in the market, although there was little business. All seemed to be waiting to learn something as to the course which this country is likely to take with reference to the Dario- German war, and consequently refrained from operating beyond immediate requirements. The business in wool is exceedingly restricted, but some small lots have changed hands, particularly in bright-haired descriptions; and, although there is an annual scarcity in ,the classes of wool moat in request there is a softening tendency in prices, There is hardly anything doing in worsted yarns, and nearly all counts, especially two-folds, which have been long ne glected, may be had on decidedly easier terms. The export houses are, of course, doing nothing, the disturbed state of Germany preventing them from operating. The home houses are doing very little. There is a rather better state of things in the piece branch. There are ra ther more offers for the American trade, and a few orders h ave been placed. A few French buyers have operated to a trifling extent. Some of the Manchester merchants are also doing some thing. Prices suffer slightly, but are irregular. NOTTINGHAM, 6th.—There was a pretty fair attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and there was a better feel ing in the demand for lace yarns at quite as much money as silk no alteration without yrice 8 o n Tuesday ; in some cases rates unobtainable o n that day were made. In hoisery yarns there was not much doing, a T n h d e Thereprices es s remaindoi i n firm . nu brown Spun net, but can be quoted.
