site of the match. The final decision as to the dav

yielding point in their desire to affect an amica
BILE arrangement. In fact, the whole affair was
conducted in the pleasantest and most satisfactory

The Benicia Boy did not, as reported, proceed to
England in the steamship City of Washington on
Saturday last. He gave sparring exhibition in
Philadelphia on that evening to crowded house.
The wind-up was between Heenan and Aaron Jones'
and was splendid illustration of the science of
boxing. Three hearty cheers for his success
against the champion of England were given at the
conclusion of the exhibition. Heenan will proceed
by the steamship Asia, and will be at once met by
his agent and trainer and conveyed to his training
quarters.
The FRENCH IN JAPAN.-The Noniteur of Decem-
Der l6, publishes the following correspondence
from Jeddo, dated September %, 1859:
"The exchange of the ratications of the treaty
concluded between France and Japan on the 9th of
October, 1858, took place to-day with great solem-
nifty at the palace of the Minister for Foreign Az
fairs The COnsul-General of France in japan NJ
Du Chesne de Beecourt, proceeded thither on
horseback, accompanied by the commander and
staff of the Imperial screw corvette Duchayla. The
treaty bearing the ratltcatlOn OF the Emperor was
carried by sailors on sort Of stage adorned bv
French flags, and escorted by guard of honor of
fifty armed sailors. The members of the mission
followed in paanquins.
"Atter two hours march through this immense
capital, in the IN idst of innumerable multitude
attracted by novel asght, the procession entered
the official enceintc of the city, sort of fortress
which usually only the feudatory princes of the en-
pire, their families, and the officers of the Court are
admitted. NJ. de BellecOurt and his suite on reach
Ing the Palace Of Foreign Affairs, situate near the
third inner enclosure which surrounds the Imperial
Palace, were received with great ceremony by the
First Ministers Of the tai-cou of Japan.
"The exchange of the ratifCations and examina-
tion OF the treaties lasted for nearly two hours In
the presence of the Ministers, the French and ia
panese Plenlpotentiaries compared them. The
Abbe Girard, the Superior and Apostolic pro-Vicar
| OF the mission to Japan who Professionally acts as
| Interpreter OF the Japan language-n which he is
well versed-for the French Consulate compared
! the japanese text with the French. Everything
having been found regular the treaty which bears
the ratification of his Imperial Majesty was handed
over to the japanese Ministers, and that bearing
the ratification of the Emperor of Japan was hand
ed to NJ. de Bellecourt, after having been placed in
a double box of black Japan of the most exquisite
workmanship.
"On this occasion the Able Girard was in full
canOncals. Thus Providence reserved to the glo-
rous rel gn of the Emperor Napoleon ILL.,, and to
exclusive French action the solemn re-insallation
on the Japanese soil of that religion of which the
ministers, apostles, and adherents were hitherto
doomed by the laws of the country to certain
DEATH.
