News FROM THE JAPAN SQuADRoN.-
The Portland Advertiser publishes a let.
ter from an officer of the Japan Squadron.
addressed to friend in that city, which
contains many items interest. We COPY
the following intelligence:
A private letter from Hong Kong.
under date of Dec. 10th, the day the
overland mail left, states that the ships
Of Commodore Perry's Squadron had all
been fully coaled, and ordered to hold
themselves IN constant readiness and
full provisioned for a six months cruise.
1t is thought the Commodore will make
an early start for Loo Choo, and after
some exercise and drill, proceed to Japan
in March or April. The steamship Lex
fngton is said to have arrived at Manila
Bay, in the straits of Macassar, and was
daily expected at Macao. As she brings
out the railroad, and other presents for
the Emperor Of Japan, her arrival had
been anxiously expected. Col. Marshall
was at Macao, awaiting his successor
The Governor of Hong Kong and the
English Admiral have orders from their
Government to facilitate, by every means
IN their power, successful result to
Commodore Perry's mission. The French
Commodore is reported to have similar
orders. Commodore Perry has had the
cabin of the Susquehana splendidly fitted
with silk, damask, and gold, it was said
for the reception of the Japan dignitaries.
Having landed to present the President s
letter, it is asserted to be his intention to
, insist upon the Emperor's reply being
brought on board to him. Spanish dol.
lars, which have been at as high a pre-
MUM as 40 per cent. at Canton, and
firm 20 to 80 per cent. at Shanghai, were
only % per cent. at Canton when the
mail left. The 10th of December was
the coolest day of the season at Hong
hong, the thermometer standing as low
as 50 degrees, and the weather cloudy,
raw, and chilly. The high rates of ocean
postage are complained of, as bearing
=, particularly hard upon the seamen of our
navy and mercantile marine. Commo-
dore Perry had recently to pay S25 on a
package of four newspapers, not done up
with both ends open as the law requires.
1t was charged letter postage.

U An exchange tells the following
story, which we might believe if we did
not know that the women of Providence
are universally handsome:
. A young man in Providence, II. IL
who had very handsome wife, recently
became dissatisfied with the attention Of
others towards her, without q cause. of
course, and started off and travelled some
TWO or three hundred miles, and visited
several hospitals for The purpose of catch
ing the smallpox. SO that he might give
u TO his wife, thinking if she should be-
come pretty well pitted upon her face, it
~ouio nave tendency to keep away her
admirers. But the fun of the Joke was
that he took the disease himself, went
home and died, and the young widow,
who did not take it at all, has since mar
NED a handsome man who is not jealous. !"
