THs JAPAN SouADRoN.-Seeing in a
distant papers accounts OF the recall Of
Commodore Perry's squadron, we have
taken pains to ascertain as nearly as
possible all the lacts connected with it's
anticipated return 10 the United States.
Thus we have every reason to believe
long since, on notifying the Govern
lnenl Of his promise to return this
spring to Japan TO receive the answer
Of the Emperor to our proposals, the
Commodore was instructed to comply
with that engagement with all the ships
under his command that could be SPAR
ed from the Chinese seas and then to
return home with all his vessels except
a steamer and two sloops Of war which
are to remain in that quarter as the
regular United Stat Q East Indies
squadron. And, further, that the re-
turning vessels will come home with the
Pacific, touching at San Francisco and
other mos' important points IN the usual
Pacific route, thence 10 the United
States. The Commodore 10 expected
to return hiRseli overland with as little

Recovery of the Bank no'e Piate.-
For about week past Capt. Brennan,
Of the Sixth Ward, one OF our expert
detectives, has been engaged in fere,-
ing out the whereabouts Of the bank
note plate from which the counterieits
on the Crans,on Bank, OF Rhode Island,
we're printed, and circulated in this
city to a considerable extent, a week
or two since. The captain received
severa. anonymous letters In reference
to the recovery Of the plate, which ulti.
mately led to it's whereabouts, and il
was secured but instead OF It's being a
counterfeit, il turns out to be the origi-
nal engraved plate, made for the bank
by Terry, Pelton e. Co., bank note en-
gravers Of Boston. The plate has been
exhibited 10 the engravers, who have
pronounced il 10 be the genuine one
engraved by them for the hank. There
is yet twenty dollar plate to be re-
covered. These plates 1t is thought
were stolen from the bank ,bu, by whom,
at present il does not appear.-N. York,

boilers, the task executed by the two
philosophers was one Of as much dan
ger as difficulty. The bursting Of boil.
ers, TO which they were constantly ex-
posed in a limited locality, was more
hazardous than that Of shells upon
battle field. While IN llitary officers
who assisted them, men Of tried cour-
age 10 the conflict, grew pale and fed
from the scene, the savans proceeded
coolly TO make their calculations, and TO
observe the temperature and pressure
upon boilers slmos, at the very point Of

themselves to political pe.di,ion, 10 fast
losing favor even in the South. BY

that it could no, pass the House, the
Wing adds:
"Thus we have seen the most irut

foreign news there was a brief mention
made Of the fact that Mr.. John NJ. Dan.
lei. the U. 8. Charge d Affairs at Tu.
rim, had got himself into very serious
trouble with every body there. He
was formerly editor Ct the Richmond,
Va, Examiner, and some OF his letters
to his friends at home since his arri-
val at Turin, have been published. In
one OF them he represents his occupation
at court as dancing the dance Of FOOLS
and in another he thus unburthcneI
himself:
The real comforts OF Europe don't
compare with those Of the United
States. +" The people are nowhere
SO good as ours. The women are ug-
Iier-,he men have fewer ideas. I have
dined with dukes, jabbered bad gram
mer to countesses. and am spunged on

ever keep up their miserable acqualnt.
ance The pictures, the ope-
ras, aud the balIets OF Europe are good
things the people, the government
and the society more contemplate than
can be concelved.'
The letter 50 published has made it's
way to Europe, and has been copied
INTO the Journals of France, Germany,
and Italy. Received with shout. Of
laughter at ils authors turkey-cock

ries,i 10 not taken so coolly by the ltal-
ians Of Turin or at least a part oi them.
They are az full ol fight as any Of the
chivalry Of Virginia themselves, and the
unlucky Daniel is likely 10 have more
duels on his hands than his brother di-
plomatist at Madrid. Indeed, one or 9
of these affairs are already reported to
be on the tapis, and we may expect to
hear of his exploits in that line by the
next steamer.
