The JApAHEsE AT San FRANclsco.--Ol c
of the objects of interest at San Franciseo
is the exhibition Of cargo of goods
brought from Japan, including a large
amount of beautiful toilet work. silk and
Grape goods, fancy toys and other fancy
articles, exhibiting a high degree of con.
structiye ability and great mechanical
perfection in some of the arts. The
growth of cummcrcc on the Pacific is
placing the cities on the western coast in
closer relationship with the older portions
of the Eastern Continent, and if ever he
exclusiveuess of the Japanese and Chinese
is TO be broken down, it will be through
the eatcrprize and commercial spirit of
our own people, acting from so favorable
y position as they now occupy on the
Pacific. lfthc Japanese can lind sale
for their fancy goods. the Calitornians
will soon find an exchange of some q!
their own commodities, and San Francisco
will lecome the seat Of direct commerce
between the Old and the New World.

The hares that feed right in front of the
house arc proof oft: let us all stay"
The others shook their heads and spoke in
whispers, still continuing to descend the
mound as well as they could "There is
something unnatural in that very thing"
said the captain; 4" but we will wait for
you iii the vessel, if you stay-we will,
by St. Ermo."
The captain had not supposed that
Gualticr would stay an instant; but see
ING him lingcr more than the rest, he ad-
ded the oath in question, and in the mean
time was fastening with the others to get
away. The truth is, Gaultier was in one
respect more frightened than any of them.
His legs were more rooted to the spot;
but the same force of imagination that
helped to dctain him, enabled him to
muster up courage beyond those who
found their will more powerful, and in
the midst of his terror nc could not help
thinking what fine adventure this would
be to tell in Salerno, even if he did but
conceal himself little, and stay a few
minutes longer than the rest. The thought,
however, had hardly como upon him,
when it was succeeded by a fear still moro
lively, and he was preparing to follow
the others with all the expedition he could
conrivc, when fierce rustling took place
in the trees behind him, and in an instant
the serpent was at his feet. Guaticr's
brain rs well as heart seemed to sicken,
as he thought the monstrous object scented
him like bear; but despair coming in
aid Of courage naturally fanciful and
chivalrous, he bent his eyes more steadi-
ly, and found the huge jaws and fangs,
not only abstaining from hurting him,
but crouching and iawning at his feet like
a spaniel. st the same time he called to
mind the old legend respecting the crea-
tlre. and corroborated as he now saw it,
he calculated with good frmness, "ln the

San Juan Island.

The California exchanges of the Courier,
bring Victoria dates to the 23d of August
Another company of United States soldiers
was about being landed on San Juan Island,
which would raise the whole number of sol
diers from three to five companies ofinfantry
and four companies Of artillery. The British
House Of Assembly had issued an address to
Gov. Douglas on the subject ofthe occupation
of the Island by the Americans, III which
they urged him to enforce upon 81 Majesty's
Government the necessity of demanding from
the American Government the withdrawal Of
all the troops. "It is not" said they, for
our country to be wantouly and insolently
insulted, but redress must be demanded" "a
council of war was held at the Government
House. The Gazette in speaking fit, says
"Explauations from the United States OIL
GERS were strongly insisted upon by several
members of the Council, which, if unsatistac-
tory, then active hostilities were to be inau-
gurated. The final result was that the fire.
eaters failed in their efforts, and the pre-
viously agreed upon course of waiting orders
from home was determined upon"
The Colonist says:
"a memorial will shortly be circulated for
signatures, addressed to her Majesty's Secre.
tary for Foreign Affairs, representing our
right to San Juan, and the necessity for the
Imperial Government to maintain it.'
Gen. Harvey has written letter to Gov.
Douglass dated Fort Vancouver, August 10th,
in which he says:
~ have the honor to state for your inlor-
nation, that by such authority invested in me,
l placed military command upon the island
of San Juan, to protect the American citizens
residing on that island from the insults and
ndignites which the British authoities of
Vancouver Island and the establishment of
the Hudson Bay Company have recently offer.

reported this attempted outrage TO my Gov

proper redress from the British Government.
In the meantime, have the honor to inform
