The japanese went in the Harlequin Aug
Bird, grateful for the hospitality which they
received at the islands. They visited La
Danaide on Saturday, where they were po-
litely received by Capt. Rosamcl and shown
through the ship. The complete order on
board and the immense power of the arma-
ment seemed to make deep impression on
their minds.
1t is to be regretted they left so soon as
they were just beginning to acquire ideas
which could not fail to be useful should thew
return to their native land They will at
least be able to say, that Christians are not
such dangerous characters as the Niponcsc
government suppose them to be, since to
them they have been mainly indebted for
rescue from starvation or watery grave, for
their support in foreign land and for their
outfit and passage towards home The idea
that their own government are cruel in
their treatment of shipwreckcd mariners by
inhumanly rcpelling all who return from a
foreign land, seemedto be new to theirminds.
and the government can be eXcusable only
on the supposion that they believe the earth
to be flat and Japan somewhere about the
centre oft )" of course Junk blown off in
storm could not be long absent before they
would arrive at the inevitable conclusion that
she must have reached the Jumping of place
"whence none return" Such theirsubiccts
as are brought back in ships they probably
regard as runaways attached to foreigners
and of course like them to be shut out by
force lromtheir country. Zero acknowledged
the injustice of the law and promised to do
all in his power to correct the erroneous
impressions of his government.
In case it is inconvenicnt for the Gov. of
kamschatka to return these unfortunate men
they will remain. on board the Harlequin
and be again received at this place, and it is
to be hoped that vessel may be fitted out
in the course of year for the double pur-
pose of returning them and opening trade
if possible on some part of the coast.

The "three days" of the French rcvolu-
aon were celebrated by La Danaide, on the
10Th ult', by firing half hour guns through
cut the day, and being dressed in mourning
'o' those who fell on that occasion. On the
'o'n three royal salutes were fired, at sun
'''e meridian and sunset, and the ship was
beautifully decorated with the flags and sig

The Flora takes home upwards of two
hundred tons of sugar and molasses, ofSand-
wich Island produce. Some of which was
raised by, and shipped on account, of the
natives. This is a much greater amount
than has ever been before sent from the
islands, and we hope the cnterprising owners
will realize profitable voyage, and thus en-
courage both Hawaiians and foreigners to a
more rapid development of the natural re-
sources of the country. A good export,
will soon bring wealth and business amongst
US. Sixteen thousand goat skins, also, are
sent in the Flora, and the first shipment of
raw silk, from the plantation of Peck s. Co.,
Koloa.

of this work which it has puzzled many

duction of cultivated mind, yet found
in the hands of exceedingly ignorant
and illiterate persons, is at length ex-
planned. 1t was written in 1912 for

numerous mounds and forts are found
on the banks of the Ohio. The author
was Rev. Solomon Spaulding, a gradu-
ate of Dartmouth College, who re-
sided at New Salem, Ohio and on
the appearance of a Mormon preacher
there, many of the friends of the de-
ceased clergyman recollected passages
which he had read to them during the
time he was engaged in composing it.

was found among his papers. it also
appeared that at one time he had some
thoughts in relation to printing the
work, and that it remained at print

TIE AMERICAN Fur COMPANY have lately
erected iii St Louis fire proof warehouse, four
stories in height, and 1862 feet in length.
The value of the furs and peltries obtained by
this Company, the last year, consisting of bea-
ver buffalo, otter, deer skins, Sc is about $780,
000 Their operations have been very much
eircumscribed recently, on the west, by the Hud-
son Bay Company, who possess the great advan-
tage oil introducing the goods required for carry
ing on the trade free of duty. In the Rocky
Mountain expedition, undertaken two or three
years since, by the American Fur Company they
sustained loss of $50 1000, being unable to conf
pete with the Hudson Bay Company, for the rea-
son above stated.
The branch Of the latter company, in the CO.
lumbia, has obtained the present season, about
one hundred packs of beaver, worth at least
900, ayo thirds of which has been taken on
the territory claimed by the United States
With this competition, the American Company
have found it Unnecessary to confine their trade to
the Missouri river and its tributaries, leaving
the uncontrolled possession of the Rocky Noun,
tains and the Oregon Territory to the English
Company.
The Hudson Bay Company how extend their
trade on this side of the mountains, even to with
in fifty days travel of that city; and many of the
free hunters, who were formerly in the service
of the Americans, have found it necessary To an
ply foi employment to the British Company.
This Is a branch of trade which is entitled to
the same protection from our government that
our CONNIE zee receives on the ocean, and vet II
is entirely neglected lfa drawback were al
lowed upon the duties on goods employed in the
trade we might be able to come in competition
with the Hudson Bay Company, but even this
is denied.
