Dutch Trade with Japan.--The following
are extracts from port regulations, orders, &c.,
delivered by the Japanese 10 the Dutch:
|. Our imperial predecessors have ordered con-
cerning you, Dutchmen, that you shall have leave
to come 10 Nangasacki, on account Of this Japan
trade, every year. Therefore, as we have COM
manded you heretofore, you shall have no commu-
nication with the Portuguese. lfyou should have
any, and we should come TO know il, you shall be
prohibited the trade to Japan. You shall import
no Portuguese commodities on board your ships.
III. II you intend not TO be moested in your
navigation and tradet to Japan, you shall notify
by your ships whatever comes 10 your knowledge
of any attempt of the Chinese against us. We
likewise expect 10 hear from youifthc Portuguese
should conquer any places countries, or
convert them to the Christian sect Whatever
comes to your knowledge in all countries you
trade 10, we expect that you will notify the same
to our governors at Nangasacki e
Ill. You shall take no China junks bound to
Japan.
iV. In all countries you frequent with your
ships, you shall have no communication with them.
II there he any countries irequented by both ma
tions, you shall take down in writing the name of
such countries or place, and, by the captains of
the ships you send to Japan yearly, deliver the
same to our governors at Nangasacki. .>
V. The Linquegans being subjects of Japan,
you shall take none of their ships or boats.
vi. When the time for the departure Of the
Dutch ships draws near, notice shall be given to
the magistrates and the college of interpreters OF
what goods have been sold to the Dutch, together
with written list of the same, that SO the sums
agreed on be paid in time and all trouble and
inconvenience avoided the last days of their
stay in the harbor. s
To the above we may add that when the ship
is nearly laden she is conducted to Papenberg,
there 10 remain at anchor, and take in the residue
of her cargo, and all the merchandise and other
things belonging TO the officers the ships provi-
sions, &c few days after, the governor points
out the day when she is 10 sail; and this COM
mand must be obeyed so implicitly, that if the
gale, the ship must depart without any excuse or
sign of opposition. Whilst she is sailing out, the
guns fred 10 salute the town and the factory,
and afterwards the two imperial guards at the
entrance of the harbor. .,. ...s.,..
Commercial Treaty with China.--The Brit
sh government, on learning that our government
had appointed Mr.. Robert j. Walker minister
TO China with full authority to make CONNER
cial treaty with the new ruling powers of China,
for the same purpose. They loresaw that the au-
thor of the tarfo of 1916, and of the annexation OF
Texas, would omit no effort TO effect unre-
stricted commerce between this country and
China, and 10 also for This country the ad-
vantage of ports of entry and deposit and the nav
gation OF Chinese waters. Ii was probably sup
posed by the British government that Mr.. Walker
would reach the scene of his diplomatic action be-
fore their own efforts would be made, and that
their success would depend upon the success OF
Mr. Walker. Therefore, they deemed il expe-
dent to make common cause with this country in
the movement. Accordingly, they informed this
government, not long ago, of their purpose to
make a commercial treaty with the revolutionary
government of China, should it be established,
and of their liberal and benelicent intention 10 en-
brace in the stipulations of the treaty the United
States and all other commercial nations. Our
mission may now be abandoned, indefinitely
postponed for, before minister can be sent out
To China from this country, the British govern
mcnt will have made the treaty for us, as well as
for itscc--N !. Jour. Conn.
Water-Spouts on the Lake.--Several of these
remarkable phenomena have recently been seen
upon Lake Ontario, two of which were visible at
Sodus point. They are dense, conica-shaped col
ums, and formed continuous line from the earth
TO the clouds. One of them, the largest, (Which
was nearly thirty feet in diameter,) was precipita-
ted against the bluffs and broke with a deaiening
noise upon the rocks below, causing so great a
commoton Of the waters that large quantity of
logs and lumber was torn from their moorings and
washed far out into the lake. The smaller Of the
two pursued its terrific and onward course as far
as the eye could reach, filling the behoder with
wonder and astonishment, and awakening such
feeling of grandeur and sublimity that they stood
almost mute and statue-like until the sound of this
gigantic column OF water died far away i'll the dis
tance. portion of the pier of the lighthouse was
swept away by the elements, and considerable
damage done 10 the lighthouses. There was
severe storm out upon the lake, and several
schooncrs, briggs, and other lake craft came scud-
ding in under bare poles, seeking security from
the tempestuous pillows without upon the now
placid bosom of the harbor-WayRs Democrat.
Conductor Fined.--An action for damages was
recently brought against Mr.. Tambngson, con-
ductnr on the Niagara Falls railroad, by party at
Medina, for withholding sum of money, under
circumstances about as follows party of three
T. TO ride a short distance. Each prescnteda bill
Ia have his fare taken out. The fare was small
less than shilling, we believe. The conductor
made change in two instances, but dcmurred when
the third person presented ten dollar bill. He
suspected that there was an intention TO get all his
change. or get free ride. He therefore kept the
biil telling the passenger that the bill would be left
with the ticket seller AT the station where he would
leave the train, and tina: he could there redeem 1t,
by paying his fare. An action was brought against
IL. 1afx.
Justice at Medina, and Mr.. Tamblingson was
beaten, and fined fifty dollars Rochester Union.
