The First COmmerclaI News from Japan.
1t will be recollected that some two or three
months ago. Immediately after the receipt of the
success of Commodore Perry at Japan Mr.. ST.
las E. Burroughs, one of our prominent mer-
chants, fitted out one of his ships, (the Lady
Pierce,) and having laid in cargo of presents.
set sail for Jeddo. By the Joven idhap, from
Honekong, at which port the Lady Pierce
rived just day before the sailing of the fol-
mer, though the arrival is not reported, advices
have been received from Mr.. Burroughs, which
give very flattering account of his reception.
From letter received by a gentleman in this
city, we are permitted to make the following
extract. Fnll advices are expected by the Ste
phen Baldwin, which was to sail two days after
the Joven Jdhnp.-[S. T. Herald.
HoSGKoNG, August 18th, 1854.
"Dear-: We arrived here yesterday, in
twenty days from Japan, all WELL and have
made one of the most successful visits to that
country on record. We received more courtesy,
attentions and hospitality, without guns and fight
ing men, than Com. Perry's squadron with their
force. did as | pleased iH Jeddo, being with
ont any restriction, and have received from the
Emperor . great variety of beautiful presents.
They were perfectly amazed and charmed atlny
having brought 10 the country the sh,pwrecked
Japanese, Du-zo-no-skee, who is the first of
that people ever returned from foreign lands.
The Japanese Com. Perry took with him were
not received, and all OF the American officers
were of the opinio that none would be allowed
to return. When l related our visit, and the re-
cepton of Du-zono-skee, and all the honors ex-
tended 10 me, they were surprised.
You have no idea OF the reception
there were near 5000 in, and along side the Lady
Pierce at time. The Japanese said they were
much more pleased with my visit than that of
Com. Perry, who had too many guns. They
were poor-they bad 40 guns-and did not like
too see them in Japan. They said the Emperor
ordered that should have all, in every way, that
Com. Perry received. No guard was placed OH
the Lady Pierce, restrictions me, and
landed when and where pleased
