his patriotic purpose to lay down, for a brief
space, "the sword of the SPIRIT, and to take
up the carnal weapons necessary to defend the

AMERICAN MERCHANTS AT NAGAsAKI, ia
PAN.-A correspondent of the Boston Journal,
writing from Nagasaki, Japan, under date OF
August %, says: Most of the large mercan-
tile houses in China have established, or are
about establishing, branches here; and por-
tion of the city landhas been assigned for the
Americans to build upon, and also for the
English. The Dutch occupy position outside
of the walls of the city, called by them "Desi-
ma,' place in which they have lived and
transacted their business with the Japanese
merchants for many years, and have never
been allowed inside the gates previous to the
opening of the American and English treaties.
The principal articles that have already been
exported from Japan are vegetable wax, coal,
alum, large quantities of sea weeds, and sharks
fins, for the Chinese market, ginseng, vermi-
celli, isinglass, biche do mar, and great deal
of Japan figured lacquered ware. grapes, silks,
etc. Trading is done with the japanese mer-
chants through Interpreters. The language,
however, is easily acquired, and q short resi-
dence here obviates the necessity of enployin z
interpreters.

THE DEATH OF A GREAT MUsIcIAN.-The
death of DIR. Louis SPohr, the eminent musi-

melancholy intelligence reached Brunswick,
the two brothers of DIR, Spohr-one the father
of the Countess Sanerma (better known as the
celebrated harpist, Rosalie Spohr,) the other
assessor of the ducai chambers, both residents
hastened 10 Hesse-Cassel, and were present at
the last services paid to the eillustrious master.
The funeral of the great composer was marked
by many reverential tokens honorable alike
to the living and the dead. The Prince Elee-
toral of Hesse- Cassel gave orders TO his Court
Marshal TO arrange the whole of the process
sion, which was half an hour in length. The
Queen OF Hanover sent palm and laurel
branches to decorate the sarcophagus. The
ehoruses of the funeral service were executed
by the Leading members of the opera and the
grand ducal chapel. Pupils of DIR. Spohr,
scattered over all Germany, arrived at various
stages of the ceremony to pay their last tribute
