JAPANESE EXHIBITION,—A private view of an inter.
esting exhibition of objects of Japanese art and manufac-
tu. res, was yesterday afforded at the Gallery of the So-
ciety of Painters in Water Colours, Pall-mall. The ar-
ticles collected consist of bronzes, porcelain, basket, and
lacquer-work, with some very curious and grotesque
specimens of the cabinet work of Japan. The porcelain
is remarkable for its extreme thinness and transparency,
and a straw picture places in a striking point of view
the patient and skilful industry of Japanese workmen
and artists. The majority of the articles exhibited are
intended for sale—the object of the proprietor of the
articles, stated to be a Dutch merchant, being to endea-
vour to introduce direct into the British market a trade
which has for upwards of a century been exclusively in
the hands of the Dutch nation. From the character
of the specimens exhibited we have no doubt that a
good and profitable market for Japan manufactures may
be created in this country.

CALLING OUT TROOF S.—A. circular memorandum
from the Horse Guar.is, dated 13th January, directs
that in the event of troops being called out in aid of the
civil power, the officer commanding shall immediately
report the same, by telegraph, to the military secretary
as also the fact of his actual arrival at the place where
the presence of the troops is required, continuing to re-
port to the same authority, in the usual manner, the
progress and completion of the service on which he may
have been detached.—United Service gazette.
