THE BOMBARDMENT OF KAGOSIMA•

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 and retainers of a great Daimio to pass. For
this barbarous and unprovocked attack you were
directed to require from the Government of the
Tycoon the payment of £lOO,OOO and an ample apo-
logy. You were further directed to require from
the Prince 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
Ten months having elapsed without the trial, or

yourself under the necessity to ask the assist-

ance of Admiral Kuper, and to proceed with him to
the Prince of Satsuma. In
your letters of August 1 and August 12, both do-
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

any farther communication could take
Majesty's ships were fired upon from the batteries
tilities were commenced and her
with shot and shell--an act which it became neces-
sary immediately to resent. The steamers taken
were burnt. The batteries were fired upon from
point blank range ; many guns Were dismounted
and various magazines exploded. It is much to be
lamented that, as the batteries were apparently
situated in about the town, the consequence of firing
with shot and shell upon the batteries and maga-
zines should 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
great value, both to you and to the naval commander-

"My Lords,—l have the honour to inform your
Lordships that I have instructed her Majesty's
charge d'affaires in J apan that in any cases whore
British persons, ships, or property are attacked he
should call upon the admiral commanding her Ma-
jesty's naval forces in Japan toresent such outrages;
and I have to request that the admiral may receive
such orders from your Lordships us 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-
neEe 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 possible, 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."

The following aro the last two despatches of the
series
6, LIEUT.-COLONEL NEALE TO EARL RUSSELL.
(Received January 9.)
(Extract.)

" Yokohama, Nov. 17, 1863.

" 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 sJught
to terminate the difficulties into which he had fallen
with her Majesty's Government.
" I had no temples 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 long 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 punishment inflicted by her Majesty's squadron
at Kagosima were very considerable. The destruc-
tion of property is estimated at £1,000,000 sterling
and the number of Satsuma's adherents killed and
wounded is stated to have been 1,500."

"EARL RUSSELL TO LIEUTENANT-r 3 OLONEL NEALE.
" Foreign office, Jan. 11, 1864.

" 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 British 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 employment of measures
of coercion or retaliation could only be warranted,
in their opinion, by the necessity of prompt inter-
ference for the protection of the lives and properties
of British subjects, or for the vindication of the
honour of the British flag if assailed by wanton
attacks on the part of the Government or influential
nobit s.
" Her Majesty's Government are glad to find that,
the return to friendly relations has been quickly
followed by an increased trade ; but her Majesty's

THE NAVY.
VALETTA, Feb. I.—Her Majesty's screw line-of-
battle ship Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Woodhouse,
which had been so long expected from the Piireus,
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 her naval 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. Striven, 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
el.;sely 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 Beng,.zi than at first supposed. It was
most probably caused by a ship's anchor. Wind
and weather permitting, zio difficulty is anticipated,
a speedy and complete repair being Effected. While
on the subject of telegraphs I muZ:st 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 Scio 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 Pbeebe, 35, Capt. T. D. A. Forteecue,
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 Phoebe
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 Candia. 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 nit. 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
gyris, 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
Serene Highness Prince Leiningen, his
with Sir C.
Phipps and General Grey, from Osborne, and Vice-
Admiral the Hon. Sir Fredrick W, Grey, LOX.,
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 Thursday'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 renewed trials. How
far she actually will fulfil those 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 condemned as altogether
unfit, and her machinery taken out and placed in
some other vessel.
The following appointments have been made at
