The JAPANESE TRADE UNAFFECTED BY THE
TROUBLES THERE.-The troubles in Japan do
not appear to affect trade inlurlouSly. MT.
Alcock, the British Envoy, writes that the
collective trade of the three ports during the
first six months after their opening by treaty,
has been not short of fl,000,0 900, and the pro-
fits such as rarely fall to the lot of merchants,
even in the East. The tea is excellent, and
has been sent in considerable quantity TO
the American market, and silk promises to
realize better prices than the Chinese; 2,0OC
piculs of raw silk, he is informed, worth say
81, 900, 900, have been shipped, and yielding,
he is assured, profit of 40 per cent. Five
million dollars worth in the first six months
after the opening of trade with people who
have hitherto relied entirely upon their own
internal trade, is not a bad beginning. Wher
the Embassy returns, and shows the Japan
ese how much they still lack for the supply
of all the comforts they might enjoy, we hav'
but little reason to fear that the trade be
tween them and the United States will
largely increase. -.

Jesse johnson, an aeronaut made an ascen-
sion in his balloon, the Comet from SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, a few days since. In his account
published in the Syracuse journal he says
After attaching the car and putting aboard
q couple Of bags Of sand, and every thing
being ready, took my departure from the
beautiful city Of Syracuse. The balloon
ascended rapidly nearly perpendicular to the
altitude of one and a half miles. Unwilling
to go further from SO lovely scene, checked
the ascent, and slowly retraced my steps
until at an elevation sufficient to render the
view most impressive. Here | could only
regret that was not possessed of the com
mand of language TO describe the beauties
beneath me. Language is inadequate; II
must be seen to be realized, A light haze on
on the distant horizon prevented me from
seeing Cuyaga, Seneca, or even Lake Ontaria
plainly, although counted eight small lakes;
plainly to be seen.
The appearance Of Oneida Lake was beau
tifll beyond description. was particularly
struck with the unique appearance Of the
Salt Works when directly over them. My
course from Syracuse was almost impercepti.
bly, toward the Northwest, until was over
Salina Lake, when the "Oomet" as to have
| little fun at the expense of my temerity
suddenly halted, positively refusing to e
farther, and commenced descending slowly
as if intent on having bath. could no
think this unreasonable in the "Comet," al
though on my part it seemed quite superhu
GUS, as had taken bath in the morning
besides, preferred bathing on the beach, Il
being ducked by the "Comet as boy woult
drown kitten.
The eronaut, however, escaped the dan
ger uninjured, and landed in safety.

GLORY OF TIE PRESENT AGE.--It is priv
ilege to have lived in an age SO stirring, so
pregnant SO eyentfoi, It 1t is an age never S 0 to
couragement is never to die. Its impression
on history is indelible. Amid its events,
the American Revolution, the first distinct
solemn assertion of the rights of men, and
the French Revolution, that volcanic force
which shook the earth to its center, are never
to pass from mems minds. Over this age the
night will indeed gather more and more as
time rolls away; but in that night two formt
will appear-Washington and Napoleon
the one lurid meteor, the other benign

Demolition Of the Bastile at Palermo.

lhte leJter lrOU fdlerLuO, Olclly, says
Two days ago the Pretoria issued procla-
nation, in which it called upon the citizens
to come and help in demolishing the face OF
the Castello-a-Mare looking toward the town.
This CASTILLO was, from the most ancient
times, the Bastile Of Palermo. 1t was rebuilt
and strengthened by Charles V TO curb the
turbulant population, and has ever since been
used as a citadel and State Prison. 1t occu-
pies the point of the peninsula which formerly
guarded the entrance TO both the ports Of
Palermo. One of the ports having been Alto
gether filed up, and the other being consid-
erably reduced, it has lost all its Importance
as a work directed against ships. The face
toward the sea, although looking old and
| neglected, has, however, the advantage OF
| forming, as it were, a continuation of the
wall of the town. 1t will be, therefore, pre-
served and strengthened.
The proclamation to demolish this hated
object brought hundreds of volunteer work
men, who assembled in the different quarters
of the town, and, provided with crowbars
axes and spades, went in companies Of fifty
and more to help in the demolition. Every
one of the troops had contrived to gel band
| of music, and the work began with cheering
and singing. Never did men, women anc
children work harder without being paid fol
| it, Not the last among the workmen wert
the monks Of the different religious commit
tees, especially the mendicant friars Capu
chins, Franciscans, &c. Whole monasterie
seemed to have turned out, and went Justify
to work. You could see it was a work 0
love, or rather of hatred. The whole day
who encouraged by their applause every sue
cessful step in the work of demolition. /
this ardour lasts, there will soon be little re

Diversion of an Immense Fortune into
PhiInnthropic Channels.

A remarkable instance OF the diversion into
philanthropic channels of an immense for
tune, is given inascrap of history respecting
Thomas Grey, the founder of the hospital at
Southwark, England, bearing his name. We
are told that Grey had formed matrimonial
engagement with his servant girl, and just
previous to the wedding-day had ordered the
pavement before his door to be mended,
marking a particular stone as the fnrthest
limit of the proposed repairs. His fiancee,
aoticing a portion of the pavement being
left unrepaired calling the attention of the
workmen to it, and was told that Mr.. Grey
had forbidden them to extend their operations
so far. The girl, presuming upon, her, sup
posed power over her lover, ordered the
workmen to continue their labors, and added,
''Tell him l bade you, and he will not get
angry But she had reckoned without her
Il host for Grey, on perceiving that change
had been made in his positive orders, inyolv-
ing an additional outlay of a few shillings,
renounced his intention of marrying the
girl, and at the age of seventy-ive years
formed the design of building the hospital
referred to-.
In erecting the structure he expended
nearly 100000, and to endow it he left the
| further and munifcent sum of $l,l00,000
An idea of his wealth may be obtained from
the fact that besides making many Of his re-
.latives happy with annuities, and giving
large sums to various charities during hi'
life, he bequeathed nearly half a millior
dollars to be divided among all who coult
prove themselves in any degree related t
him. History is mute respecting the mannel
| in which the almost bride bore her dis
appointment. There is no evidence, how
ever, of her having played the heroine's par
in an E6ie Carstdng melo-drama, nor are W.
told whether the indignant old gent left he
the least legacy as salve for her wounded
pride. All we know is, that the assumption
of mistress-ship few hours too soon, Sc
cured for England one of her finest hospitals
and placed the name of Thomas Grey on re
cord as the largest private contributor t
benevolent objects known to English his

The Palace and Imperial Manners of Jn-

pan.
The Japanese correspondent of New York
Journal Of Commerce, says:
Mr.. Harris says nothing could be palmer
than the Imperial Palace. It is of great ex-
tent on the ground, but, on account of earth
quakes, only one story high. The posts are
Of hewn timber, planed and lacquered while
the ceiling and walls are made Of thin lac
quered boards, without plaster, or paper, or
rich ornaments, or gliding. All neat and
handsome, but unostentatious and inexpen-
sive. The floor was covered by thick mats
instead of carpets like those in use in ordi-
nary houses The throne is plain affair,
made Of lacquered wood also while all the
furniture in the Hall of Audience was two
seats for Mr. Harris and his Secretary and
interpreter, and table. A screen was
placed before the throne, behind which sat
the Emperor with his three brothers and five
or six chief Ministers around him.
Mr.. Harris was admitted TO approach as
near as these were, as had been agreed, when
he simply made three bows, having before
stated that was all which was done in au-
diences of the greatest sovereigns of the west,
and this was satisfactory to the Emperor and
his Court. He then made short address to
the Emperor to which, in few words, the
| Emperor replied with smile on his face,
| which Mr. Harris was able to see, despite the
screen, after which he retired. On the oc-
casion some four hundred or five hundred
princes and mobiles were present, all upon
their knees, according to immemorial usage
Mr.. Harris says the Emperor wears dress oi
silk and black lacquered hat or cap, with
out diamonds or jewels in his dress or ON any
part of his person, nor does he wear any thing
like a crown, shaving most of his head and
bringing the spared hair forward over his
forehead in pig tail, just as you see with th'
most humble Japanese servants in the EN-
bassadors suite with you. ..-
Every thing is in the most simple style
even in the Imperial Palace, Mr.. Harris a
one time saying he did not think it cost th
Emperor above $500 per annum for his tabl
and wardrobe, which, however, was prob
ably intended to be taken with liberal er
tension. Economy, however, isa great virtu
with the japanese, to encourage which
strip of Gsh-skiR is sent with every lette
from an official, whatever the subject, to re
mind the receiver that their ancestors wer
once poor fishermen, and therefore all thei
descendants should not be ashamed of in
dustry and economy. Two of these singula
and instructive mementoes have accompanie
! letters sent even to me, which might teac
no needless lesson if attached to pole an
carried through Wall-street, Broadway an
! several New York avenues, to say nothing
half dozen other places.

continued, much to the perplexity and an

when she explained the whole matter by
