ported that the Emperor of Japan died soon after
rhe American treaty was signed. The cholera, it
Is said, had disappeared from Nagssaki, but was
raging at other places. The Hong Kong CORES.
pondent of the London News, writing on the 10Th
of October, says:
"The news of the death of the Emperor of Japan
is confirmed. lie died of cholera, which disease

some appreheDsions entertained for the French
PienipOtentiary. nothing having Seen heard of
the chartered steamer Remi. on board of which
vessel his Excelency had embarked from Japan
for Shaughae."

that he died OF cholera. Being chiidless, before
his death he adopted Foer-tsgo, Prince of Ku-sin,

Sailing THE srREErs-A Nouely- The deni,ens
of Fulton street and vicinity were startled out of
their ordinary apathy to street sights yesterday
abe ut noon by beholding team of four white
horses, and large wagon Allied with salt, advans
cling down Fulton street, With two men IN the
wagon all the time shoveilicg the salt cut into
the street as fast as they could. The wagon adj
vanced slowly down to Fulton ferry. the men in it
oil the way plying their shovels With great ace
tivity till the entire street safed. Much
curiosity was manifested to know what all this
seasoning was about; some thought the city Off.
ciais more or less of them, had devised O new
expedient for squanderipg the peoples taxes:
others thought that the spilling Of so much salt
savored of deinented condition in the parties
engaged 10 1t; while others more properly con.
sidered that il was merely the curing of the hard
season which immediately preceded it. Such in-
deed was the object. The proprietors of the ON
nibus lines which run through Fulton street took
this mean ms as the most efieacious for melting the
snow In the street, SO their omnibases could run
20 more advantage and safety. The proprietors of
the Fifth avenue and the consolidated omnibus
lines, equally bore the expenses OF the outlay
About fifty bushels of salt were scattered over
Fulton street. Fifth avenue, Broadway and some
other streets were also salted About 100 bushels
of salt we're spilled in Fifth avenue Arrange.

engaged to salt Broadway after every snow storm

In Fifth avenue, Fulton, aud perhaps other streets,
