The Japanese.

he japanese have not lost their an.
Gent reputation for courtesy. BY thu
advices we publish on another page rel.
alive to Commodore Perry's expedition
TO Japan, we learn that he was most civ.
lily and politely received. after little
show of determination on his part TO the
primary obstacles they offered; results
similar TO the early intercourse of the
Dutch with the same people some two
centuries back. '.The natives we are
assured, ''with whom our countrymen
came In contact, were friendly in their
demeanor, and The Governor of Uraga is
spoken OF as model of refinement and
good breeding When the Jesuits
wished TO introduce their religion into
Japan, some opposition was made. The
Emperor asked Of his Council, chow ma
ny different sects are there in Japan p
"fhirty-six," was the reply. 'sThen
one more will do no harm. Admit the
Jesnits.' = The civilization which dicta-
ted such reply, seems indefinitely be-
yend that Of Christendom at the same
period. The Christian sect was tender
ly treated. 1t found among the Japan
csc many loving converts: some forty
thousand professed Christianity. But
one day some OF !hen showed the clo-
ven foot--insalted political grandee on

We judge that Commodore Perry is the

war in Europe,

The news BY the Arctic on Sunday
leaves no reasonable ground FOR doubt
that war between Russia and Turkey is
already commenced. The Turkish Mani
festo, which we publish herewith, while
moderate in its tone and be guarded in
IFS expression, proffers no alternative
for hostilities but the prompt, unqnaG-
fled Abandonment Of the Dannbian Prin-
cipalities by Russia; and this, though
no more than the Gar ought TO do, is
very certainly what he will not do. Tire
dlploniatlcs are busy over their protocols
and notes, as usual, and the stockholders
are eagerly conjnring ND "a loop to
hang doubt upon !" but these amount
to nothing in the face Of the Turkish
Manifesto and its reported reception by
the Gar, who Immediately and empha-
ticaiiy declared that the Port should
have the war il conrte1. and that this
should be war of life or death.
The best accounts represent tie Tur-
ki5h Army as not only Formidable in
spirit, and excellent provided with ev-
cry requisite to efficiency. Whatever
may be the ultimate issue of the struggle
there is no probability that The Russian
can pass the Balkin before next July,
even should they be able to throw back
their determined enemy from the line Of
The Danube. There is therefore ample
TINS for the Democratic spirit ofsEurope
to manifest itself before Constan,inople
can be seriously menaced. Austrian may
indeed espouss openly the cause OF her
oe'avonie master; but this will only tend
TO pfeelpitate the grand explosion This
war appears destined TO make deep
ef Impression on the destiny OF man
kind than any former since Waterloo.

ISeENIoUs PoLIcY.-The manure in
which the Gear unites the church with
the military ardor Of the Russians. shows
him to be a profound politician. The
Gear is the head Of the church which he
rules by Synod of priests, but, strange
as it may sound. the President of the
synod is General of Cavalry, who alone
can sign ecclesiastical DEGREES. The
new Testament Is allowed to be read,
but in an imperial translation adapted to
tbs fanactical people. The catechism
taught 10 such children,as are taught at all,
positively enacts that they must love the
Gar before God, and makes it crime
10 love any other mortal than the Gar.
Their creed runs thus 81 believe in
God in heaven and in The Gear on
earth"
II this combined of religion, loyalty
and military zeal which renders the
Russian so invincible in long and pros
tracted war. He is never discouraged
The Russian soldier neyor fees. He
stands immovable, willing to die where
he is oakered, for his God and his Gar.

ANCIENT SILVER M1vES.-The Ian
caster Pa Wing gives an account Of
the recent opening ard exploration Of a
mine Of argentitefous galena in Pequea
Valley, Lancaster county, which was
known and worked prior 10 the Revolu-
tionary war. The old shafts have been
cleaned out by direction of some phila-
delphia capitalists, and the ore assayed
by DR.. Fahnestock, of Lancaster. who
pr1nounces it to contain upwards Of
five hundred dollars worth of silver TO
the ton Of lead. Professor Booth and
other chemists have also made assays,
II Is stated, and with similar results
The ore yields about eighty per cent. of
lead. Copper and zine ores are also
found IN The same place, which contain
a considerable amount Of silver, though
the exact quantity has not yet been as
certained. AT the breaking out of the
Revolutionary war the shafts and tun-
nels were carefully closed up, and all
operat ions ceased, and subsequently all
traces of the mine were lost aud forgot

THE UNlrAnIASs.-The American
Unitatarian Convention has been deep "
Exercised upon the question, "By what
means may the religious series of our
churches be made more impressive ?"
Upon this question opinions seem to va
Try greatly. While some advocate IL
turgy, others are favorable to the OPP
poste extreme. Thus the Rev. James
Clarke, Of Boston, gave an account of
the services in the Church of the Disci-
pies, in that city :-"They adopted from
the Methodists the mode of singing by
the congregation. At the close Of the
sermon, they sat for while in silence,
after the manner of the Friends after
which the prayer was made by the pas
tor ertemporaneousiy. After an expe-
rience Of nine years, he did not know Of
an individual of the Society who would
be willing to return 10 the usual form of

/ ton 10 settle for itself its formula of
worship. - Phila. Post.

SIR ISAAC NEwroS AND VoLrAIRE
ON Railway TRAvELIsG.-Sir Isaac

Daniel, and another upon the book of
Revelation, in one of which he said that
in order to fulfill certain prophesies be-
fore certain date was minated name

Of travelling of which the men of this
time had no conception; nay, that the
knowledge Of man would be so increa-
sed that they would be able to travel a,
the rate of fifty miles an hour. Vol
taIre, who did not believe in the inspi-
ration of the Scriptures, got hold OF
Ihis and said Now, look at the nigh
ty mind Of Newton, who discovered gra-
witty, and told us such marvels for us all
toadmire. When he became an old man,
and got into his dotage, he began 10 stu
dy that book called the Bible; and il
seems that, in order to credit its fabu-
lous nonsense, we must believe that the
knowledge of mankind will be so increa-
sed that we shall be able 10 travel at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. sThe poor

del Voltaire, in the self-complacency OF

The NoRrH WGsr PAssAGE.-The
investigations of Commander Mcclure,
IN the course of his recent wonderful
passage, has proved that it will be all
but Impossible for any sail vessel to make
passage through the Polar Sea from the
East coast of North America The ma.
vigator who expects 10 get through-e~
ven after the delay OF years-inust enter
the Polar Sea by Bhering> Straits, on the
west coast of North America, because
the Tide sets from that direction and the
winds almost invariably, blow TO east
ward, which together, give an impelling
power Of abont five miles per hour
this would be a current too strong for
vessel to resist when clogged with ice.
The fact of the tides and the adverse
Winds will go far to prove why nayi4
gators have been nearly four ceniu-
ries in accomplishing this northwest
passage. Had the earlier navigators en-
tered through Behring's Straits, the dis
covery might have been made long since
but as there was no certainty that
there was northwest passage, even
the most adventurous might be deter
red from sailing 10000 miles (around
Cape Horn, &c..) before they reached
even the confines Of the Polar Sea. Not
the least interesting of the recent dis
coverles is that the southern shores Of
this sea are inhabited and that there APP
peared TO be an abundance Of animal
life, IN the form of reindeer, hares and

Clure have confirmed not few of the
ingenious speculations of DR.. Kane, re-
lative TO the existence to life where ma

WEIGHISG LIVE CATTLE BY MGAs-
URE.-The only instrument necessary
is tape measure, with feet and inches
marked upon it. The girth is the cir
conference Of the animal Just behind
the shoulder blades. The length is the
distance frem the shoulder blade 10 The
rear Of the bullock. The superficial feet
are obtained by Multiplying the girth
and length. The following contains the
rule TO ascertain the weight of the ami
NAL
Ifless than one foot in girth multiply
superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three,
multiply superficial feet BY sixteen.
If less than sevel and more than FIVE
multiply superficial feet by twenty three.
II less than nine and more than seven
multiply superficial feet by thirty-thrce.
If less than eleven and more than nine,
multiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Eraniple.--Suppose the girth Of a bull
lock TO be six feet three inches length
five feet six inches. There would then
be three and half superficial feet, which
multiplied by eleven, gives thirty eight
and a half pounds as the weight of the
animal when dressed.
In this way the weight of the four
quarters can be substantially ascertaiaed
