present instruction and that present entertainment
mutually afforded to each other by tha English peo-
ple and the Japanese Ambassadors, there opens up
to view in the perspective of the illimitable Future,
the probability, or rather, we are almost tempted to
say, now the almost inevitable certainty of new
fields being thereby secured to the Commerce of
Great Britain, and of a new and wonderful impetus
being afforded to the already high but narrow Civi-
lisation of Japan.

if it evidences any one thing more than another,
beyond any doubt of it, betokens that they are,
one and all of them, men of highly.cultivated
minds and of very considerable enlightenment.
As good fortune would have it, the very year of
their advent amongst us is the year also of the
Great International Exhibition. Their arrival is
so timed, that, almost upon the morrow of their ap-
pearance in London, they were enabled to take part
as spectators—conspicuous by the verYsimplicity of
their rich silken raiment, among the golden and
jewelled splendour of the corps diplomatique—in
the varied and sumptuous pageantries of the cere-
monials of the Inauguration Day down at South
Kensington. Yet but a very few days after their
participation in those Imperial pomps, the three
Ambassadors from Japan, with a chosen few,
selected from their numerous suite of attendants,
are visiting, upon successive days set apart for that
purpose—now one of our great dockyards and ar-
senals—now the sick-wards and the operating-
room, and the dispensary at one of our great
London hospitals. Going to each and all of these
places, not, observe, as mere holiday sight seers,
but—note-book in hand. Nay even with a skilled
Japanese artist in their train—one whose ever-ready
pencil is perpetually jotting down upon his tablets,
pictorial mementoes of these (to them) outlandish
scenes and people, here in England, there in France,
storing up treasures of particularly Oriental art,
destined in the course of time very considerably"to
astonish the natives" far away in Japan with the most
eccentric notions of our European scenery and our
European doings. The Japanese artist, of course,
like all his fellows in that craft, having not the
slightest ❑otion in the world of such elementary
qualifications for an illustrator as those acquired
by a familiarity with chiaroscuro, with fore-
shortening, and with the simplest and most obvious
principles of perspective. However scribbled over
with blurred and jumbled memoranda, as what they
saw and heard while upon their European pilgrim-
age in search of information—however grotesque
and exaggerated, even into caricature, their "pencil-
lings by the way," while wandering from country
to country, and from city to city, among these
western nations of Christendom, we may be abso-
lutely certain of this, that the Japanese Ambassa-
dors when they return homewards will carry back
with them such a mass of new ideas and of hitherto
undreamt of knowledge, that the barrier of exclu-
siveness that has hitherto shut out Japan and the
Japanese from the rest of the habitable globe, from
the rest of the human race, can never be raised
anew. Of that, at least, we may rest assured. If
no further advantage result immediately from this
remarkable expedition, that most desirable
advantage of all must result from it. An
impulse will be given, inevitably, through
it to Japanese civilisation, such as the Japanese
philosophers have never conceived to be possi-
ble in their wildest imaginings.
Already, it is amusing to note, what it is, here
and there, that has caused the greatest surprise to
these high and mighty patrician travellers from
Japan. What new ideas, " wrinkles" as your fast
man calls them, have they not already picked up of
late, now in Paris, now in London ! Notions of
startling novelty to them, in regard to subjects, of
the most widely contrasting and incongruous cha-
racter. Cookery ! Street Architecture ! Railway
travelling ! Armouries ! Legislation ! Horticulture !
And so on interminably. People who can habitu-
ally swallow their dinners with the aid, alternately,
of chopsticks and fingers, washing down their food
with eopious draughts of warm water—(to us the
homeliest and most effectual of emetics !)—have
surely something to learn from our menage, as seen
in the dining-room, and from the glimpses of the
cuisine that are caught there so delightfully. From
the white soup and the damask napkins, to the
vinous enjoyment of the fruit and flowers that deco-
inifulkatt Cannot, but be a very world of ;Onders to
the unsophisticated palates of these Oriental
Islanders. It was but a day or two ago that they
were carefully conducted all over those astonishing
works of a warlike character, where the giant guns
of Sir WILLIAM ARMSTRONG are being manufac-
tured with the apparant facility and the exquisite
precision of so many toys. Among the other pro-
cesses there shown and explained to the Japanese,
there was that one, for example, in which the stu-
pendous masses of solid metal are seen at the moment
when they are being cut and pealed off in
iron shavings as though so much cheese-parings.
Another while—it was but an evening or
two since—the Japanese were observed in that
front gallery immediately over the clock of the
House of Commons, immediately opposite the
chair of Mr. Speaker—a gallery in which so many
strange faces, black and tawny, red, white, brown,
and yellow, are perpetually appearing and disappear-
ing ! There, while Mr. WALPOLE was exulting
in the fact of his damaging modifications of the
Revised Code, having been forced upon the un-
willing acceptance of the Government—their Ja-
panese Excellencies scanned for a while the out-
ward aspect, at least, of the great representative
branch of our Imperial Parliament. They noted
the general look of it, and the manners and customs
of the place—even if, as was really the case, they
could not understand a single syllable—that gal-
lery of the House of Commons not being previously
the most suitable whispering gallery for a skilled
interpreter between English and Japanese like

Right of search conceded by Americans—mutual
of course—England never asked it on any other
terms—but on these terms the Americans have,
hitherto, always refused it. We have assuredly to
thank Secession for this. We question whether Mr.
LINCOLN himself dare have signed such a treaty,
but for the present relations between the North and
the South. We may be perfectly certain that the
Senate would not have ratified it unanimously, had
the representatives of all the slave states been in it.
The " breeding states," like Virginia, are of course
opposed to a trade which tends to depreciate the
value of their principal article of commerce, but the
planting states naturally took quite the other view.
They wanted cheap slaves. Above all the idle
" mean whites," who constitute the majority of the
Southern " aristocracy of skin," and whose votes
returned Senators and Representatives to Congress,
were eager to reopen the slave trade ; it was their
avowed object that " niggers might be so cheap,
that every white man might be able to wallop his
own nigger." The new Southern constitution in-
deed embodied the prohibition of the slave trade ;
but it was carefully and cleverly done in the Jorm
which should compel the Border States to join the
Confederacy. The Border States, Virginia, Ken-
tucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, were then thought
by the original seven seceding states, to be their
main bulwark—both DAVIS and LINCOLN then
bid for them. LINCOLN has conquered three out of
the four—but Virginia still remains to the South—
and the prohibition of the African slave trade in
favour of the home-bred negroes was a part of the
original purchase money.

But even with the Southern senators self-excluded
from the Congress, the vote accepting the LYON-
SEWARD Slave-Trade Treaty, as the Americans
term it, is very remarkable. It shows a prodigious
change indeed in American feeling. For two rea-
sons such a treaty would have ruined the political
prospects of its authors but a few years ago. One,
that to grant to Great Britain the right of search,
even in the most suspicious cases, would not have
been endured. It had become, in American minds,
identified with our old demand to take our sailors
out of any American ship into which they bad
escaped, or hired themselves, vi et armis. This
was, of course, folly on their part, but it had be-
come a grand national watchword. And long after
that dispute had passed away, we have endeavoured
in vain to obtain the right in regard to vessels

hoisting the American colours to cover the accused

slave-trade. Another reason which would have
made the acceptance of such a treaty by the Senate
difficult, was that the moneyed man of the North
were on the side of the slave-traders. New York
chiefly was answerable for the ships and capital
with which the trade was carried on. Religious
and polite Boston, the city of WILLIAM ELLERY
CANNING himself, took, it is said, its share also.
The feeling of the moneyed classes of the North
was shown in their strenuous efforts to save the
wretched slaver captain, whom LINCOLN exe-
cuted unrelentingly a few weeks back. Great
therefore must be the change which has sent us
the information that a Senate, composed so largely
of Northern men, unanimously passed a treaty on
the slave trade, which Mr. LAYARD could declare,
in our House of Commons, to be entirely satis-
factory. We await with some interest the publi-
cation of the treaty itself, which will take place

On tho whole, it will not be denied that the
North is improving its position with the haters
of slavery, which is as much as to say, with all
Englishmen. We have amongst us those who
dislike, as well as those who approve, her demo-
cracy; we have those who could condescend to be
irritated, as much as others are amused, by American
swagger, bullying, and fire eating, in the be-
haviour of the great Republic towards other
countries, and especially towards the old monar-
chies in Europe; but all Englishmen were of one
mind respecting American slavery. We not only

abhorred the institution itself, not only could
have no fellowship with slaveholders, but we
loathed the selfishness and hypocrisy of the Free
States of the North, in their countenance given
in any way to slavery—in their mean submis-
sion to slaveholding rulers—and in their

signalising their love to slavery by keeping
the district of Columbia a slave state, and treating
the free blacks in the North with even more con-
tumely than the slaveholders did their negroes in
the South.

The change in the North is, we are aware, one
of policy rather than of feeling. The truth is, the
North is becoming every day mare and more con-
vinced that while the South has slaves to fight for,
fight it will ; and that it is hopeless now to think
of reuniting to the North a large body of slave

States. This was Mr. LINCOLN'S and Mr. SEWARD'S

policy as long as it seemed practicable. At length
they became convinced that consistent freedom
could be the only permanent bond between federal
republics—then LINCOLN gave the word to offer to
emancipate the Border States with compensation.
The emancipation of the district of Columbia fol-
lowed. Now we have made the Slave-trade Treaty;
and there are, at this time, a host of bills before
Congress, proposing more or less energetic action
on the subject of slavery. The South is at least
conquering the North on one point—it is driving
it to Abolitionism. When this result is fully at-
tained, then, indeed, we should not be surprised if
impatient Europe broke the blockade—broke it in
the interest at once of commerce and of the aboli-
tion for over of negro slavery.

Mr. MACDONALD.
A day or two after this visit of theirs to the
Commons House of Parliament, the three Ambas-
sadors from Japan are tracked by the reporter to a
scene of inquiry as different in its way from any
they had yet visited while amongst us—King's
College Hospital. The circumstance of their hav-
ing remained there within the walls of that excel-
lent institution assiduously pursuing their inquiries
the whole time, for a period of upwards of two
hours, indicates beyond an instant's further doubt,

that the personages who have come to us from Ja-
pan as the chiefs of this memorable embassy are
indeed, as we have already observed, men of unques-
tionable enlightenment. It is among the mutual
surprises excited unexpectedly at every turn upon
exceptional visits like these, paid to the institutions
of a strange land by the representatives of a
people very remotely situated geographically, and
in consequence, unmistakeably foreigners
it is, we say, among the mutual surprises ex-
cited at every turn upon these occasions, that
precisely those very things that we should expect
would surprise those visitors the most, really appear
to surprise them the least And—vice versa, just
so has it very recently fallen out in both ways with
regard to the Japanese Ambassadors. At the in-
auguration of the Great Exhibition on May-Day
their Excellencies comported themselves as though
the astounding display there unfolded to view were
of no ordinary description. Yet little more than a
week elapses, and they are exclaiming with wonder
in the Dispensary at Ring's College, amazed be-
yonddescription at the sight of that little grooved
machine
in
which pills are rolled and divided; a
contrivance
so long familiar to every apothecary in
the United Kingdom ! We cannot but feel that it is

What of the great war P—our readers are, per-
haps, impatiently asking. We are sorry to say that
all tho last arrivals indicate no progress worth
recording. The South being on its defence only
has no progress to make. To hold its own is its
progress. The North has not, since our last notice
_of its position, taken a single Southern fort or work,
or even made a move in advance. The army of the
Potomac, now in one large division before York-
town, and two smaller ones under BANKS near
Gordonsville, and M`DOWELL at Fredericsburg, still
occupy their old positions. Some Federal gunboats
have ventured, notwithstanding their fear of the
Merrimac, to aid M'CLELLAN, but their shells did
no harm to the Confederates. In the West also
near and on the Mississippi, all remains yet with-
out movement. BEAUREGARD is still strengthening
himself at Corinth ; HALLECK and the Northern
generals combining and strengthening themselves
for a final effort to drive him away, and the clever
General MITCHELL " the astronomer," whose book
is well known here, holds the hundred miles of
railway by by which he cuts off the Eastern from
the Western Confederates. It is not unlikely,
however, that any day the news of an important
battl6 may arrive,'

VISIT OF PRINCE ORCAR OF SWEDEN't
TO BIRMINGHAM. 'LATEST NEWS.

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENING.

His Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden arrived
here from Oxford last night, a little after seven o'clock,
having come down by the ordinary train. He was accom-
panied by Captain Cronstadt, of the Swedish Navy, and
Colonel Kingscote, and was met at the railway station by
Mr. H. Manton, the Mayor, and Mr. G. R. Collis, the
Swedish and Norwegian Consul. His Highness went to
the Queen's Hotel, in the Consul's carriage, apartments
having been secured for him there, and in the evening the
Prince visited the Town-hall, where a bazaar is just being
held on behalf of the Queen's Hospital; later in the even-
ing he paid a visit to the Grammar School of King Edward
171., where he found a large company on the occasion of
an amateur concert by the pupils.
This morning his Royal Highness went to some of the
principal manufactories. Among them were Messrs. R. W.
Winfield and Son, brass-foudery ; Mr. Gillott's steel-pen
works; the Birmingham Plate-glass Company's Works at
Smethwick, where his Royal Highness witnessed the pro-
cess of manufacturing some immense sheets of plate-glass ;
also Messrs. Lloyd and Summufield's glass works, where
some new processes of melting glass were explained to him.
A visit was also paid to Messrs. M'Callum and Hodgson's
papier-mache works, and to Mr. Collis's works, where the
process of electro-plating was shown. There, a comme-
morative medal was struck. On the obverse was the por-
trait of the Queen; the reverse bore the following inscrip-

tion :—" Struck in commemoration of the visit of his
Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden to Birmingham,
May 9, 1562."
From Mr. Collis's, his Royal Highness returned to the
Queen's Hotel to luncheon, and shortly afterwards left by
the London and North. Western line for Crewe, where the
Prince will inspect the company's works, under the gui-
dance of Mr. Ramsbettom ; he will afterwards go on to
Bangor to see the bridges in that locality—those great
works in which the skill and genius of Telford and
Stephenson are fully displayed.
Before departing from this town his Royal Highness,
through Mr. Collis, presented Mr. Scott, of the Queen's
Hotel, with a donation of £lO in aid of the funds of the
Queen's Hospital.

ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 9.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day pub-

lishes an imperial ukase ordering the State Bank to
exchange notes for gold and silver on and after the

13th inst.
The price of specie in exchange of bank notes is
to be gradually reduced until it reaches the nomi-
nal value. For the present gold half-imperials are
to be exchanged for 570 copecks, and the silver
rouble for 110 copecks paper currency.

It is stated in the New ark Tribune that Com-
modore Vanderbilt has made Mr. Lincoln a present of his
steamer Vanderbilt, now lying at Hampton Roads, and has
offered to sell his next best steamer to the Government,
iron-clad, at a price to be fixed by its own appraisers.

The annual regatta of Cannes took place on Sun-
day. The first prize of the first category was won by the
Jeannette of Cannes, and the second by the Iris of Mar-
seilles. All the other prices were gained by Marseilles
boats.

Wolves are at present numerous in the forest of
Orleans. A dog and a goat belonging to a keeper were a
few nights back devoured by them ; a horse belonging to a
farmer at Chateauneuf-sur-Loire has also fallen a victim to
their ferocity, and that in a pasturage between the park wall
and the river. It is probable that this latter was attacked
by a whole band, as on the following morning nothing but
the bones and part of the skin were found.
RETURN OF THE ALL .ENGLAND ELEVEN.—Capt.
Stephenson and his ten companions, who have been win-
ning fresh laurels in Australia, arrived at Alexandria with
the overland passengers on Sunday last, the 4th inst., and
left the following day for Marseilles, which port they were
expected to reach on the 12th. They will in all probability
get to London by the 14th, in time to receive a hearty "...I

ROYAL FREEMASONS GIRLS' SCHOOL.—The an-
niversary of the above institution it. aanouaedu,togittrtig
master of the fraternity, has kindly consented to preside on
this occasion, thus showing his anxiety for the success of
this admirable institution. It will be the duty of all pro-
vincial grand masters, past and present grand officers, and
all masonic brethren, to assist the noble earl, and show by
their presence and contributions the zeal they feel in the
success of this charity. From the warm interest the newly
appointed secretary, Arr. Patten, has always taken in this
charity, and his indefatigable exertions, it is to be hoped a
very large subscription will be realised.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT CHESTER.—On
Tuesday, a Roman altar, in an excellent state of preserva-
tion, was found by some labourers who were digging near
the city walls and behind the Corn Exchange. The altar
is of the old red sandstane, and measures 28 inches in
height. There are four rows of letters, in such a state that
the whole inscription will be easily translated. A quantity
of Saxon silver coins were recently discovered at Chester,
which are now being sketched for the journal of the Numis-
matic Society. Among them are some of the reign of
Edward the Elder, A,D. 901 and 925, which are gems of
their kind.

In the month of August the price of gold is to be
560 copecks, and that of silver 108 copecks.
Further reductions in the price of bullion are to
be announced by an imperial decree.

sists of 2,058 bales, 3,975 pieces of copper, 22 hhds. of
regulus, 48 bags of silver lead ore, 6,183 trenails, 2 bales of
skins, 18 bales of leather, 49 bags of gum, 9 cases and one
quarter-cask of wine, and 6 packages of sundries.

The Presse of this evening says—lt is reported
that the Marquis de Lavalette will postpone his
departure for Rome until the 18th inst.
The Patric of this evening states that the French
fleet will prolong its stay at Naples during the pre-
sence of Prince Napoleon in that city.
The decision of the Senate on the petition sent in
by the Archbishop of Rennes is remarked on by
several of the Paris journals; their appreciations,
of course, being a reflection of their political opi-
nions. The Constitutionnel expresses itself in these

:erms

"M. Billault examined the question from an
elevated point of view, as a statesman should do ;
he firmly maintained the right of nomination
conferred by law on the first functionary of the
department. He showed the necessity of main-
taining prerogatives which have no other motive
than that of order and peace in society ; M.
Billault pointed out the evil precisely when he de.
dared that the decree of 1852, which then served the
Government as a means of arresting disastrous en-
croachments, now enables it to oppose exorbitant
pretensions. The liberty of instruction is not in
question ; for in the commune of Sel itself there
exists a free school of religious brothers for boys,
and another held by women for girls ; that which
is demanded is consequently not liberty, for it
already exists ; it is simply the municipal subven-
tion. Those who fan the flame,' said the Minister,
' ill understand the saered interests which they
believe they are serving.' The effect of the speech
in the Senate was immense, as it will be through-
out the country."

DEATH DT A FALL FROM THE LAND'S END.—
PENZANCE, Friday, May 9.—On Tuesday last a young
man named James Cock, abed 28, and either a tailor or a
shoemaker of Plymouth, arrived at Sennen on a visit to his
father, who is the head lightkeeper of the Longships Light-
house, and was formerly of the Eddystone. Father and son
had not met for 12 years, and it was arranged that the son
should proceed to the Longships and see his father to-day.
Yesterday afternoon young Cock left the lightkeepers'
houses, accompanied by his two sisters, to see the Land's
End and adjacent cliffs. One account that reached us last
evening said the party struck across the crofts and ap-
proached the verge of the cliffs to the right of the famous
promontory; another account this morning says the brother
and sisters inspected the extreme western headland of
England and returnee along the northern side of the pre-
cipices to look at the natural tunnel which runs directly
through the Land's End. One thing is certain—the
unfortunate young man ventured on the very edge of
the rocks, which aro in some places grass-grown and
treacherous ; his sisters, a little distance behind him,
saw his feet slip, his hands thrown upwards, a
desperate clutch at a projection a few feet downwards,
and (while an agonising :exclamation, in which one of
their names was mentioned, reached their ears) their
unhappy brother falling down until at a depth of from 150
to 180 feet he reached the rocks and became a crushed and
inanimate mass. They raised an alarm as quickly as pos-
sible. Mr. Toman, landlord of the First and Last inn, and
many villagers of Sennen, hastened to the spot with ropes,
and in half an hour the body was recovered, but in a dread-
ful state, every bone, apparently, being crushed. A coro-
ner's inquest to-morrow will elicit further particulars. A
black flag was hoisted at the lightkeepers' houses on the
mainland, and the three watchers on the Longships soon
sad-
coloured 11:11/1ell3, but it was too late to put off in a boat,
perceived the signal of death and hoisted their own
and the father would not know of the melancholy fate Of
his son until this morning.—Cornish Xelegrapht
