7..eue,e Di.,rust Of the Americans.

We have letters from Hong Kong of Feb
ruary l4th. Our correspondents were at that
date in receipt of news from the Loo Choo
Islands ard from Japan. The conduct OF the
japanese Government with regard to Euro
peans is still the same as heretofore that is
to say equally mistrustful and i'll disposed.
The Americans themselves, with their phantom
o. treaty, are in no wise protected from the
ill-wil of the officers of the Emperor. They
have received very evident proof Of this du: ing
the station there OF the corvette Vincennes,
dispatched to Japan to execute survey of the
coast. Every time the officers have wished to
land in order to determine point, they were
met with opposition, and for the ful6lment of
their mission compelled to resort to force. A
Loo Choo they have not met with more
friendly reception. Too weak to prevent the
landing of the men dispatched ashore, the
Governor contented hmselfwith the annoyance
of appointing guard Of honor to accompany
them, for the purpose Of keeping off the people.
This duty had been so well performed, that
during nearly one months sojourn on the
island the Americans have not found single
opportunity of speaking to single individual
A scarcity begins to be experienced even on
board the corvette; the Governor had forbid
den the furnishing of provisions to the vessel
Disguised with all this chicanery, the Commo
dore landed eighty men, well armed, and di
rected them upon the palace of the Governor
This frightened him so much that he promised
all that was demanded. From that moment
provisions were in abuudance.-Paris Univer

ASSAULTED By WILD CAr.-Yesterday
afternoon, when the streets were full of people,
two gentlemen were passing a large block OF
buildings on Main street. below the bridge,
when crash and yell from aloft caused gen.
eral CONSERVATION. The two gentlemen looked
up above them, and just as they turned their
heads a large cat came down like the wind, full
in the face OF the near one, crushing his hat
like o feather, and clutching her furious claws
into his face and neck. The gentleman was so
bewidered that he scarce knew what to do
but with the aid of his companion, the mad
animal was choked off, the result being marked
upon the unfortunate's face in number Of
sanguinary lines, with the minor miseries of an
irretrievable hat, dilapidated cravat, and
freshly done up shirt. The animal escaped
followed by shower of missiles in the shape
of brickbats and small, ragged boys. She had
jumped through the third story window in her
madness, and was verify q seild cat.-Bufole

NAVAL CoURT MARrrAL.-A naval court
martial was held at Erie last winter, for the
purpose of investigating an assertion made by
First Assistant Engineer Rutherford, of the
U. ). Steamer Michigan, that First Lieuten-
ant Scott, OF the same vessel, had purchased
coal for the Michigan from dealers who were
favorites of his, at large advance upon the
current rates. The finding of the court has
just been published by the Erie papers. 1t is,
that the evidence eXonerates Lieut.. Scott
from all collision or improperly in the pur-
chase of coal at any time for the U. S. steam
er Michigan ;" and that Assistant Engineer
Rutherford is in the habit of speaking too
freely and loosely of the acts of his superior
officers, probably from ignorance of what be-
longs to proper discipline For the preserv-
alton Of harmony on board tho Michigan, the
court recommended to the Secretary of the
ford should be detached and ordered on other
duty.

The u. 5. DIsrRICr Court closed for the
term on Wednesday last. The arduous
duties of the presiding officer were ably dis
charged by Judge Sherburne, who deserves
all praise for his patient, kind and forbear
ing department under many and serious
annoyances which, causelessly, were permit
ted to beset him. Mr. Prescott, the Clerk
and his gentlemanly assistant, Mr. Hough
won general thanks for their exertiOns, and
the untiring energy and zeal of Mr.. Tullis
the Deputy Sherff, was very freely remarked
upon and approved regards the Sheriff
himself, we can say but little. Most GER
tainly he was but very seldom in the Court
room, and hardly ever seen when wanted
Almost his entire duty devolved upon his
deputy, Mr.. Tullis, who discharged it in q
creditable manner, and almost without the
aid of subordinstes.

The Coroners were on the alert, but strange to

sons whose soiled habiliments testified their
proximity to the appalling scene, persstently
denied any knowledge of the transaction. The
ferry boat was just starting to convey the
travellers across the river to continue their
journey. The fear of detention was the cause
of this sudden know-nothingism. The German

FRANKLIN saw an imported whisk Of corn

The number Of applications for Land
Warrants which have gone into the De
partment at Washington thus far, is no..
900. They average l20 acres each, max
ing an aggregate of 100000 acres.
The latest buying Price was o. per acre,
and the selling price $l,l0 per acre. Rev.
dictionary Bounty Scrip, being exempt from
Land Office charges, is worth three cents
per acre more than warrants.
The following are the most recent decis-
ions of the Commissioners of Pensions under
the Bounty Land Law:
In case of person entitled to bounty
land under the late act, being insane, the
application must be made by the conserva.
tory or trustee appointed by the nearest
competent judicial authority.
The rights Of widow Of deceased
soldier are lost in a second marriage, but
are revived again on the death of the second
husband. If, however, there be minor child
rem living of the first husband, they may
claim in right Of their father during the
second marriage
Under the act of 1850 only such were
regarded as minors as were under twenty
one years Of age at the time the warran
was issued. Under the present act minori
ty is reckoned prior to the Sd of March
| 1855.
A power of attorney cannot be executed
until after the warrant has been issued.
The only survivors Of the bene6ciarie
embraced within the provisions Of the &C

We find in the Toronto Globe, of the
9th May, detailed account Of the expert
ments made under direction of the Canadi-
an government to remove the distractions
which exist in the st. Lawrence river, be
tween Prescott and the head Of the Lachine
Rapids The experiments were made by
Messrs MAILLEFERr and RAAsFoFF, subma-
rine engineers the former of whom it will
be recollected, gained distinction by his re-
moval of the rocks at Hell Gate, New York,
ii few years since The improvement is
found to be entirely practicable, it being es'
timated that channel of sufficient width
and depth for vessels drawing ten feet Of
water can be opened at y cost not exceed
ing 100000
The success of this Improvement, though
located within the boundaries of foreign
State, is far from being matter of indiffer-
ence to the people of the West. Every
new channel of travel and transportation
opened, or old one improved, between the
west and the seaboard, has its direct influ-
ence upon our prosperity. Each route added
takes something from the expenses of trans
portation, and puts that something into the
pockets of the Western producers, which
they would not otherwise have had. 1t is
time, too, that some efficient rival route to
the Erie Canal were put in operation. The
tolls imposed have been for long series OF
years, at rates altogether enormous, and
they will be continued al their present
figures so long as no efficient competition is
arrayed against that route The cana
system in New York has of late years de.
generated into scheme Of political cOrrup
ton and the western farmer, as he pays
this tax. imposed by The State for the priv
lege of floating his products through the
Erie CaEal, finds little consolation in the
fact that he is helping to furnish gamb
ling fund to the yenal politicians of New
York.
