THE VALuE OF JAPANESE TRADE ExAGaERA.

who speaks from knowledge gained by q long

resembling that OF our Northern and Middle
States, the Empire of japan, unlike the fahled
Indies. produces but few OF those costly pro-
ducts which have from time immemmorlal made

growth of the soil of Japan. The entire sur
face of the country. including the hills and
mountai0s, is severely taxed to provide food
for the dense population, which numbers TWEEN
ty-fve millions. Grain, therefore, will never
become an article of export. The fisheries of
Japan will be of some importance to the con-
mercal world. The silk aud cotton fabrics o:
the country are entirely inferior to those of
China, aud would not meet with o market out

anecdote of him, recorded by. Mr.. Sabine,
which throws dismal light on the repute
in which he was held in community
where it might have been expected, if any
where, that he would have been kindly
viewed. After the revolutionary war, he
established himself in some sort of business
at st. Johns, New Brunswick, which was
principally settled by American loyalsts.-
His warehouse and the merchandise in il,
being fully insured, were destroyed by fire,
and Arnold was charged, in a newspaper,
with having himself set fire to the building,
in order get the insurance, which was
largely beyond the value of the property
He prosecuted the publisher of the paper
for libel, laid the damages at thousands, and
recovered, by the verdict of the jury, two
and six pence Such was the estimate
formed by a st. Johns jury of his probity.
