AN EUROPEAN LADY IN JAPAN.-A letter from
Jeddo the capital of Japan, dated l1th July, gives
an amusing account of the arrival of MIR. Ancock,
the English Minister, in company with his wife,
who was the first European lady who had visited
Japan. The letter says:
When the distinguished party landed, they were
met by several officers who escorted them to their
residence, followed by a crowd of at least three
thousand Japanese. The lady Of Mr.. Allcock at
tracted their attention than all the rest of the
party, she being the first European lady that ever
stepped foot on Jeddo soil, and to them, with her
crinone spread out, and gaily trimmed bonnet,
she was eyed by all the crowd, who would run
ahead of her as to look her in the face some Of
them took hold of parts of her Dress and this nm
gentlemanly conduct she very properly resented
by giving them pretty heavy blow over their
heads with her parasol. Mrs. Allcoek had been
long time in Canton before she proceeded to Japan,
| and she was prepared to meet the Japan heather.
