and Yedo, and the coasting trade which has been
carried on for so long a period between the konriles
(fishermen) of Asiatic Russia and the kouriles of
the Japanese coast, analogy of national character,
manners, and constitution, render political associa-
tion between Russia and Japan alike natural and
probable.
The last Russian embassy to Yedo (1853) has
announced that its reception was distinguished
and friendly, to an extent surpassing all previous
interview's. The Ambassador, Rosanoff, was ad-
mitted to the table of the young Emperor, treated
as a personal friend by the Japanese Monarch, and
on taking leave M. do Rosanoff was loaded with
rare and costly presents in honour of the Czar.
This information. leads us to the conclusion that
a marriage—political, social, and commercial—
between Japan and Russia is not an unlikely event
to come to pass. An entente cordiale with the
United States, we have seen, is not likely to be
effected, and England is little better off in her re-
lations with Japan. There are three parties to the
question of interference with Japan—Russia, Eng-
land, and America ; a fourth party would be, per-
haps, France ; but we think the first to practi-
cally participate in the great advantages of a corn•
mercial treaty with Japan would be the Czar of
Russia.

HOME CIRCUIT.—Guir,DroRD, AUGUST 7.

SALTER V. THE ATHENJET.Thf INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
This was an action to recover damages for the alleged
wrongful dismissal of the plaintiff from the office of
manager of the defendants' association, and also for a
considerable sum of money which he was entitled to as
commission under an agreement entered into between
the parties.
The defendants put several pleas upon the record, but
the material one was that which alleged that the plaintiff
had misc3nducted himself with reference to the books of
the company, and also with regard to certain cheques,
and that they were therefore justified in dismissing him.
The case, which occupied the Court nearly two days,
terminated with a verdict for the defendants.
