Having paid some little attention to the
conflicting opinions, elected in evidence be-
fore the Committee appointed by the House
Of Lords to inquire into the merits OF New
Zealand cordage, some ten or twelve years
since, and remembering that the great fault
found by those Officers who were opposed TO
its being used in the Navy, was an alleged
liability to part in the nip, we are naturally
anxious to learn whether this defect has been
obviated or diminished Our inquiries,
hitherto, have been confined to one or two
private parties,-and to Captain Gedge, of
the Hobart Town schooner Isabella" who
uses nothing but New Zealand rope, wheth-
er for standing or running rigging, we are
indebted for the knowledge that he has found
it equal in every respect to the best Euro
pean cordage. With him it has stood well,
even where the nip and the strain have been
the most severe; and when the compare
lively heavy spars and sails of fore-and-aft
craft, and the severe weather to which coas-
ters are liable, are taken into account, we
consider the consumption of the manufac-
ture, both as means Of equipment of the
vessel, and as constant portion of her re-
turn cargo, to be the very best testimony of
its practical commercial value. We trust
that those who may have had equal or supe-
rior opportunities of testing this, one of our
most important staples, will favor us with a
report, such as we have no sufficient data OF
our own to prepare.

sDs We find in the .4rt-Journai an arti-
Gle on the subject of the transfer of the ma
terials of the great London Fair of 1851 to
the United States, in which it is stated that
Mr.. ]. Jay Smith was then abroad, furnished
with letters of recommendation from Gov.
Fish and others. and soliciting from the
principal English and Continental manufac--
turers the privilege of exhibiting in Ameri-
ca the articles they may send to the Fair, or
duplicates of them. He is said to have re-
ceived pledges of support from many ofthose
TO whom he has applied on the Continent,
that "upon the close of the Exhibition in
London they will ship their goods to Ameri-
ca as contributions to the Exhibition there. !"
Messrs Barring Brothers s Co. are men,
toned as the shipping agents, and the Spring
of 1852 is given as the time for the display
in this country.

AN ENGLISH SHIP OF WAR AT JAPAN.-lh
obedience to orders from the Commander-in-
chief, Commander Mathison proceeded in II.
~ S. Mariner twelve guns), TO the coast of
Japan, and anchored offthe town of Oragawa.
twenty five miles from the capital of the en-
pire, and three miles farther than any othe p
vessel of a foreign nation had been allowed
to proceed The Mariner sounded al the
way across and along the shores.
The japanese Interpreter on board hav-
ing informed the authGrlties of the object of
my visit, sent Ciy card, written in Chinese,
ashore to tie governor, requesting him to
receive my visit; to which he replied, that,
I out of courtesy to me and curiosity to him
self. he would have been delighted to pay
me visit, and also entertain me ashore, but
that it was contrary to the laws of the coun-
try for any foreigner to land, and that he,
the governor, would lose his life if he per-
mitted me to proceed any further up the bay.
When about eight miles from Cape Misaki,
which forms the south west end of the bay,
10 boats, manned with 90 armed men and
five mandarns in each, came alongside.
allowed the mandarins to come on board,
when they presented me paper, written IN
French and Dutch, directing me to anchor
or cruise about the bay. Finding, however,
that was determined to proceed, they offer
ed. when within two miles of the anchorage,
to tow me up, which accordingly accepted.
Several boats were stationed around me dur
ing the night, forts were GIFTED up, and sew
eral hundred boats were collected along the
shore, all fully manned and armed. In re-
turn, had my guns loaded, and requested
their boats TO keep at respectful distance
during the night Othosan, the Interpreter,
was in d great dread; saying that in case we
landed. the Japanese would murder US all,
and as for himself, he would be reserved for
lingering death by torture.
"Oragawa appears to be the key OF the
capital of the empire, and contains 2O,OOO
inhabitants. All the junks going and return
ing to Jeddo must pass the custom-house
here: and with moderate force the whole
trade of the capital might be completely
stopped. With an armed steamer, the pas
sage up to Jeddo might be surveyed; and
was informed that ship could approach
within five miles Of the city. Between the
capital and the port an excellent road exists
'sThe mandarins here appear of an inferior
class, treated us civily, and were ANXIOUS 10
gain any information from us, but would
give none in return They took sketches OF
different parts ofthe ship, sent us some water
vegetables, and eggs: and then were con-
tinually inauiring when intended to depart.

survey of the anchorage, | weighed, and

EDT The following whimsical circurn-
stances happened some time ago in Kikcn-
ny: &c A tailor who was married to very
sickly woman, got enamoured of young
girl who lived in his neighborhood, and on
certain conditions he agreed to give her
promise, in writing, TO marry her lmmcdI-
ately on the demise OF his wife; in conse-
quence OF which Mr.. Snip passed the fol-
lowing curious note of hand: : In two days
after the demise of my present wife, prom
ise TO marry Miss Moran or order, value re-
ceivcd, under fifty pounds sterling. Given
under my hand this sixteenth day Of May,
Sc, j. Sullivan Shortly after Miss Moran
received the above note she died, leaving j,
endorsed to female friend, who also chanc-
ed to take fever, and died before the tall
or's wife; however, on her sick bed, she al
so endorsed the note, and gave it TO cous-
in, whom the tailor absolutely married,
agreeably to the endorsement, in two days
after the death Of his wife, and it is said the
tailor and his wife are now living happily in
the city of Kilkenny"

SPEcULATIoNs IN FLoUR.-Fifty years ago
when the laws in New England were more
rigidy enforced than at present, an individ-
ual. a member of the church, was informed
on for having cursed Esquire Russell. a rich
speculator of those days. He was cited ac-
cordingly before a justice of the peace, for
the offence As a matter of form, only, the
defendant was asked for his defence, for it
was presumable for such flagitious act in
the ewes of God and man, no defence could
possibly be made His statement was as
follows:-
esquire Russell has been buying up,
during the past season, the whole supply OF
the country round of wheat and corn. l call
ed on him 10 buy three bushels OF grain for
nv family, who have been living on potatoes
for some weeks past. The squire had none
TO sell. wheat was but six shilings, and corn
four shiings sixpence per bushel. In few
weeks, he expected wheat would be worth
eight, and corn six shillings, when he could
snare me some, he thought. cursed him on
the spot. for God directed me to do so. He
that withholdeth the corn, the people shall
curse him. This is my defence"
Well = the magistrate was puzzled, and
after thinking and thinking, he dismissed the
case. observing that the author of the law
against profane swearing had permitted curs-
ing in this particular case.
I have been reminded of this anecdote by
the recent failure of Suydam, Sage & Co,
w G. & A. Hunter, and James A. Varick
Of New York. These were long established
houses, and in high credit. Last season
they bought up large quantities of flour on
.,l.,;on and after holdinp II for an adj
vance, the unprecedented crop of The pres
ent year has so reduced prices, that they
are unable to sell except at ruinous losses,
and are thereby unprepared for meeti.s
their business engagements. Although do.
not know the parties, rejoice at the result,
and trust that it will prove warning to
monopollsts in the absolute necessaries of
life.
| desire to put my experience on rec
ord This is, that every flour monopolist
I have ever known, has first or last become
bankrupt. The curse of God is upon all
lsnch enterprises.
