INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.-The .Moniteur de Ia
Ftotte, a Paris paper, has the following interesting
Intelligence from j apan: Our last accounts from
the Chlna seas mention Il highly interesting fact.
The Emperor of Japan, being anxious to adjust va
r1ous questions connected with the recent treaties he
had concluded with the several governments of
Europe and America, held, on the 23d of June, at
Jeddo, the capital of the empire, a solemn assembly
of the principal lords and most influential personages
OF his court. 1t was decreed at the meeting, that two
ports of the Empire, those of Nangaski and Hakodadi,
should be open to the vessels of all nations. There
they might repair, take in provisions, establish
depots Of coal, &c. The other ports of the Empire,
moreover, are to be accessible to vessels in distress,
which may take refuge in them, but which will have
to put to sea the moment the danger is over. No
foreigner is to be allowed to penetrate into the inte-
r1or OF the country, without special permission from
the Chief of the State. No decision has yet been
come to with regard to the commercial question.
The right of trading with Japan is still exclusively
maintained in favor of the Dutch and Chinese, who
have long possessed it on very onerous terms-having
but one market open to them, that of Nangaski.
The new policy adopted by the government of Japan,
will be productive of incalculable results. Hitherto
no foreign vessel could enter the ports of the country
to refit or take in provisions. The last decision of
the Court of Jeddo accordingly constitutes a great
progress. Should China, Cochin China, the Empire
of Siam, and all the other neighboring states, follow
the example of Japan, the intercourse between the
extreme East and the rest of the world would be
completely changed

MIR. EDIroR:-Sir, 1 have read with considerable
interest in the last number of the t'Frend, - the
Rev. 7. Coan's Essay on the question-ssIs it pro-
per to hold up the idea among the Hawaiians that
the lava flow towards Hilo ceased in answer to pray
err"
I understand him to answer in this Essay that it is
proper. I cannot distinctly discover whether he in
tends it to be understand what he believes the lava
ceased flowing towards Hilo by a miracle or by nat
ural causes. If he believes it to have been arrested
by a miracle, he will allow it is the most important
one since the time of the Apostles, and that it is one
which ought to be known far and wide. If, on the
other hand, ne believes that the lava stopped or was
diverted by natural causes, (from the formation of the
land for instance) there seems no express ground left
for the supposition that it was in answer to the pray
ers of the people of Hilo; but rather it would appear,
that they had importuned God to arrest q catastrophe
which was not going to happen.
The question then, whether it is proper to hold up
before the Hawaiians that the lava did actually cease
in answer to their prayers, depends upon whether it
is true; or Ii the absence of certainty, whether it
is probable; and as its probability or otherwise ap-
pears to depend upon the point now suggested, I
should be glad to know whether, in Mr.. Coan's
opinion, the lava flow towards Hilo, was stopped by a
miracle or by some natural cause?

SHIT is a common saying among housekeepersin
Honolulu, ''what an expensive place to livein this is"
There Is more truth than poetry in that remark, and
we venture to say that there are few places in this
world where the wages of labor or the profits of bust
ness are so out of proportion to the expenses of mere
maintenance.
And one of the heauiest items of expense is the
rents of cottages. Can you tell why it is that a very
ordinary cottage here with cloth partitions brings
$500 a year, while q house of little more pretentions,
in town, commands as high as 5000 to 800? In
Boston or New York the latter sum would procure O
fine three story brick house with water and gas all
through the house and furnace in the cellar to warm
it by means of fues carried to every room. A
poor family in Honolulu must pay a large proportion
of their wages received, for mere Shelter, and to get
a house hGrd-fnished inside, would be beyond their
means.
dear place to reside in. 1t is q common saying of
those visiting there, How the money flies" All
this may be true; yet; it is a fact, that house rent in
that city, considering the accom- mOddtiORS given for
the money, is so per cent cheaper than here. To
prove this read the following advertisements clipped
from q San Francisco paper, where there are plenty
more of the same sort:

Mr.. EDITOR :-"Palama,' in the last POEyneSiGn,
thinks that Nuuanu and the other parts of the town
have had the benefit of road supervisor long enough,
and that the road to Eva must come in turn now.
There are half q dozen foreigners living out that way,
the full amount of whose tax (say $40 has always
been most faithfully spent on their road annually;
but if the communication of Mr.. Palama is a fore
shadowing of the policy of the new supervisor, (Which
1 am left to Judge is the case,) it had better be known
before the tax is paid. The small amount of funds
at the command of the road supervisor is no excuse
for bad roads; all that the people ask is that the
money voted for roads be faithfully spent on them,
and where most needed.
While on this subject Of roads, let me ask why we
Go not have a good road to Koolau, over which the
products of that fruitful region, that now absolutely
rot in the ground, can be brought into Honolulu
and sold at reduced, but remunerative prices?
The Pail road is in a shameful condition, danger
Gus to life. The Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
its improvement, and Notwithstanding this the minis
try have done and are doing nothing about it. They
probably do not know what a disgrace that road is,
for [ doubt if they have ever had sufficient enterprise
to go out of Honolulu so far in that direction.
The sum of $500 was also appropriated for the
Improvement of Liliha street, which Improvement
would bring a large quantity of cheap land, suitable
for building. into the market. Yet nothing has been
done.
. call the ministry to account for the neglect Of
the interests of the people in this particular. ! call
on them, because they are responsible, and IN the
name of the PEOPLE / demand the immediate improve
ment of the roads, or to know the reason why they
neglect to do it. Go 1T EASY.
