On Friday last, after the visit of the citizens

Evangelical Association called upon the Hon.
Jkmes W. Borden, the newly arrived Commits
sGaer of the United States. and in a body paid
their respects to him. Rev. DR.. Armstrong,
President of the Hawaiian Board of Education,
addressed the Commissioner in a short but appro-
pirate speech, to which Judge Borden replied
nearly as follows:
Tie thanked the clergy for this mark of respect in calling upon
him in a body as the Protestant Clerical Association Of these
islands It afforded him great pleasure to meet them- and ne
extended to them a cordial welcome now, and hoped that When

IMPORTANT FROM JApAN.-A Paris paper states that
the Commissioners sent by Holland to Japan, imme-
diately after the conclusion of the treaty with the
United States, have succeeded in obtaining an ac-
acknowledgement as a principle, that all the ports of
Japan, without distinction, shall be successfully
opened to European commerce. Uutil . regular
tariff of duties on imports can be established, the
Duty will continue to pay fifty-fve per cent. on the
value of goods imported, this value being determined
by public sales, or even by private sales, the good
faith of which is undoubted. Other arrangements
have been concluded as follows:
"An Exchange and Bazaar will be established at
Hakodadi to facilitate transactions between the ma
tives and Europeans. Professors Of the Japanese Ian
guage will be appointed by the authorities, with
power to receive as pupils, without distinction, all
foreigners who may wish to learn the language of the
country. The Dutch resident will be received by the
chief of the government whenever he may haveinter-
national questions to discuss. The ffee exercise Of
their religion is granted to all the Dutch, and the
practice of obliging them to trample on the cross of
Christ is abolished forever. They win also be allowed
to bring their wives and children with them 10 Japan.
sThe Japanese have, however, combined some re-
s~trictions with their generosity. Thus, Il y strictly
forbidden to export specie OF any kind, or tobe1 arms
or munitions of war to any other parties than the
government. 1t is believed, however, that 10 Feeerd
TO the first Of these prohibitions, the Commiuiol6s
are not far from obtaining some coucersionss'
