BRIT1sH ISTERFEREScE IN American

1.-THE British government have determ-
ined to devote two hundred thousand
pounds sterling (something less than q
million dollars) during the approaching
Presidential canvass in fomenting bad
blood in the North and West against the
South. in the hope thereby Of producing
a dissolution of the Union. 1 know this

Of undoubted credibility, and 1 am only

The Japanese.

A letter from San Francisco says that
the officers of the Powhattan have but one
fault to find with the Japanese, and that is
that their books and little toilet articles are
covered with pictures which Christian
would be ashamed to have about him.
They do not possess our delicacy in this
respect.
In Lord Elgin's Mission to Japan, &c,
we find the every day manners of the peo-
pie of Nagasaki described thus:
As we trayersed its entire length, no
foul odors assailed our nostrils, or hideous
cutaneous objects offended our eyesight;
nor did inconvenient walls or envious shut
ters debar us from inspecting, as we passed
along, the internal economy of the shops
and dwellings on each side. Light wood
en- screens, neatly papered, and running on
slides, are for the most part pushed back
in the day time, and the passer by looks
through the house, to where the waving
shrubs of cool back garden invite him to
extend his investigations. Between the
observer and this retreat there are probaly
one or two rooms, raised about two feet
from the ground; and upon the scrupulous-
ly clean and well-waddod mating, which is
stretched upon wooden floor, seminude
men and women loll and lounge, and their
altogether nude progeny crawl and feast
themselves luxuriously at ever present foun-
tains. The women seldom wear anything
above their waists, the men only scanty
loin cloth.

The JOHN BRowN FUND.-We have
seen two West Indian Merchants who have
just arrived from Hayti. One of them,
who is an accomplished and educated gen.
tleman ard cousin of President Gefard,
informs US that when be left Port au Prince,
two weeks ago, the contributions of coffee
for the benefit of John Browns family
amounted to about 1000 bags of l2O
pounds each, and it was the general opin-
ion that another thousand bags would be
added, as every body regarded it both a
duty and privilege TO contribute. AS
these bags are worth from s12 to s14 each,
it is probable that the Republic of Hayti
will add to the John Brown fund from $50,
600 to $4O,OO0.-Boston Trav.

wIt is fact worth telling again, if
everybody knows it already, that one of
the first things Victoria did, after becom-
ing Queen of England was to pay the
debts of her father who was at one time
so poor as to be unable to afford the cost of
transporting his family from Germany to
England. The people contrasted the
the Queens conscientious application of her
resources with the conduct of her grand
father, George III, under similar circum-
stances. His father, Fredrick, Prince of
Wales, left behind him numerous obliga-
tions, not one farthing of which did George,
on coming to the throne, think proper to
discharge.
