Tns JArANEs Captain Adams, Of
the United States, Navy, who recent
" returned with the japanese treaty,
found the japanese officials extremity
corteous and friendly, and the people
social and communicative. Their for
mer distrust aud jealousy seemed great.
" diminished. There was some diff
Guilty in procuring the signature Of the
Emperor to the treaty, as it was the
custom for the supreme council to act
in his stead. But the difficulty was
overcome, and the treaty with the
United States. is the first that has ever
received the signature ola japanese
Emperor. The privileges Of trade
secured are more liberal and advan-
tageous than have been secured by
any other nation that has obtained
access to this insulated people.
The japanese officials made many
inquiries after Com Perry, to whom
they sent messages Of remembrance.
The circular railroad and locomotive
he took out had been put up in Yedo
and the japanese could now manage
them very well, the locomotive max
ing its trips every day. They had
also the life boat in the water. with a
special crew detailed for her. The
magnetic telegraph, however, was rat
her too difficult for them, and they
had not succeeded to get It to work
properly During the visit Of Com,

ments Of the storeship Southampton,
and they had vessel Of The same mo-
del and dimensiopsions nearly ready

restricting the size and model Of their
junks has recently been abrogated, and
the Government is now ambitious to
possess u squadron similar to ours..--
From this fact it will be seen how IA.
pid is the growth Of new ideas in this
secluded nation, and what vast changes
must necessarily results from their
further intercourse with America.
The only American article they OBJ
jeot to the introduction of, was religion.
They preferred their own, and the
Commissioners returned to Captain
Adams, bundle of religious books
and tracts, which one Of the American
cbaplains had distributed among, the
people, requesting him to take them
back to America. They remonstrat-
ed at this attempt to proselyte the
Japanese, as in violation Of the prin-
cipal of the treaty, aud contrary to the

We are in possession of the facts of

Of the Deputy Coroner abstained from
taking any notice of them, until he
should intimate to us that The verdict
of the jury had been rendered, aud
the case had been put in such q train
that 1t should be considered safe and
proper to publish the result Of The in
QUESTION. This intimation did not
reach us.
The evidence it is intended to sup
press until the case shall be tried be-
fore the Criminal Court upon the mar
row and fallacious plea that the publ
cation Of the truth might prejudice the
case. What will be the effect Of the
publication Of possibly erroneous re-
ports, varied and exaggerated as they
will of course be in travelling from
mouth to mouth, amplified and color
ed as they will be by credulous or
sceptical readers is disregarded. IF
We should contribute to error in this
respect il will be only because access
to the actual evidence is denied US
Such accounts as have reached US our
readers have right to expect from
us, and we consider ourselves bound
and under existing circumstances free
to give.

and the proof of their guilt seems very

PREPARE FOR THE JOURNEY
Whenever a journey is to be taken,
the wise traveller calculates, what he
shall want on the way, and pro-
vides accordingly. Many parties are
now emigrating into that delightful
stale, Of flowers and fine times which
we take a birds eye view of, through
a pair Of green magnitiers, and call
matrimony." II is impossible for
such to know what they do want, I'm.
il they can see well displayed store
ofsuch things as are usually required.
To do this, we would advise the voy-
ager to take his companion de uoyagc
on his arm, and 60 round to J. Piper
h Cos House Furnishing establish
ment on Church street. He will find
there, many named, and nameless
things.
THE DEMocRAnc ADvocATE.--Th
other.day, on invitation Of our friend Jones
U.J we took look into the office Of
our Church Street ne,ghbor, and were
pleased to notice many substantial eviden-
des OF enterprise and improvement. Out
Of the city Of New Orleans there is not
now, an Office in the s.ate more complete
in all its appointments Sshan the Advocate.
The paper is worked on Northrup power
Press--which, though imperfect when first
received, has been "docteed" by that
skilltul artizan Mr., F. Blanchard so that
now. it turns out unexceptionable work.
In addition to. two or three new hand
presses, they have Just put up one Of Rug
gle's largest size rctSyy machines. The
stock Of type is large embracing everything
new. 1t was selectedby Mr.. Jones, him
self, than whom there is not better--a
more artistfsll printer in the State.
The proprietow are daily looking for
one Of Hoes cylender presses which is
to be worked by steam. The Devils"
occupation will be gone, when their en-.
CINE gets under way; for their hand pres
es are to be fixed with self-inking appa.
ratus, also to be worked by steam. There
is nothing pertaining to the art typograph-
ical, that the Advocate cannot turn out
in the very best style.
Speaking Of hotels, the funniest look
ing specimen Of the sort ever seen
here or elsewhere, has just been built
on that magnificent avenue of parvenu
fashion. the Fifth, corner of Twenty
second street. It looks like very
tall woman with a steeple crowned
bonnet on. Covering but small plot
Of ground, it runs up disproportona-
tely high with long ornamen'ed,
windows. To what use it is to be
put nobody knows; but it is supposed
to be . tavern, and has been christen-
ed the Shanghai House.
