The Knickerbocker Magazine, edited by Louis
Gaylord Clark, will commence its 30th volume with
the number for January, 1852. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Flee to Three
Dollars year, or % cents per number. The con-
tents of the KnickerbOcker are entirely original
and its character is sufficiently established to rem
der any remarks upon it unnecessary. The pub
Usher has been led TO reduce the price of subscrip
ton from knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished to read the Knickerbocker were kept
from its perusal solely on account of the expense,
and he believes that many more who purchase
without regard TO quality, so much as quantity,
will by n low price be induced to become acquain-
ted with Knickerbockcr, and thus become its
steady patrons. There will be no change in the
FORM size or character of the Magazine except
change always continued for the better. The terYls

The Expedition TO Japan.

Ii is said that the Expedition TO Japan will
sail in few days. The squadron will consist
OF The steam vessels Mississippi Susquchan-
ma, and Princeton, and frigate, slOOp-of- war,
AMI storcskip. Besides their usual armament
these vessels will have on board light field
pieces, ami other offensive arms suitable for any
emergency. Commodore Perry will command
the squadron.
The causes which have led our Government
to this step are not officially explained, nor is
the precise object of the expedition declared. -
Ii is understood, however that Commodore
Perry will demand the liberation Of anumher
Of American sailors, whom it is reported, the
japanese are exhibiting in cages, like wild
beasts. He will also demand that American
vessels shall be permitted to enter japanese har-
bors, when i'll distress, or when obliged 10 make
repairs. ...
Our whale fisheries, in the neiglborhood Of
Japan, are very extensive. Many vessels in
going TO or returning from the whaling seas
are obliged 10 pass between two large Japanese
islands; and when any one is unlucky enough
to be cast ashore, the crew are seized and Gagged
or killed, or something outrageous is done with
them. The whalers have to sail all the way 70
the Sandwich Islands 10 make the necessary
repairs. Within the last year one hundred and
twenty-one of them were i'll the -harbors Of those
islands, at one time. They were thus put to
an enormous expense, merely because the ia
pancse are determined 10 hold no interc curse
with foreigners.
These are the Special complaints that have
been uttered against the unsocial Islanders, ant
| if they are true they are heavy enough. Oul
sailors, in their arduous service, do not merel,
run the ordinary risks OF shipwreek, but have
the additional terror before their eyes of vas
it is death TO touch either Intentionally, or whel
driven by the relentless fury of the elements.
