The GREAT EASTERN. The letter
from the Secretary of the Great Eas-
tern Steamship Company, to the May
or of New York, contained several in
teresting facts. It was said that the
monster would leave on or about the
LIST Of June, and that her drought com
ing wonld probably be from 81 to %
feet, and going out (when coled) from
"a to 26 feet. It is, therefore, only
necessary for the Common Council to

the Great Eastern can have uuobstruct-

seen anything of the kind before, he
mistook them for canister shot, and
fred nothing from his guns for three
days, but fresh lobster, picked salmon

ONE of the most wonderful things
in the North, writes the correspondent
of the Charleston Mercury, is the dis
play of female fashions at the Academy
opera matinoes. Imagine FIVE thou

and all dressed for display, in their
biggest and handsomest bonnets, their
finest and amplest gowns lis the word
obsolete , in violet, lemon, or other
lightly tinted gloves, rosy checked,
ruby mouthed, and family odorous
with " Lubin's''-imagine vast COM
pact mass Of feminine material, such
as this, exclusively filing the parquette,
boxes, dress circle, and even the lofty
amphitheatre. The sight can be liken-
ed unto nothing but one enormous
Aower-bed, only that the diversity in
the color and beauty of the blossoms
is greater than was ever seen in any
parterre or dollhouse. Looking over
these monster female mass meetings.
from the stage or other favorable stand
point, one cannot help falling in love
with the entire sex, and wishing that
all woman kind had but zone rosy
mouth" that he could kiss them all at
the same time. With all this in praise
of the ladies, it must be said that they
are not patient or generous hearers.
They talk like blackbirds during the
performance, and applaud very little,
and then always IN a stingy manner,
and almost invariably in the wrong
places. With the natural instinct of
the sex, their approval is lavished
almost exclusively on the handsome
tenor Gf there happens to be one in
the piece), while the equally skillful
and painstaking pyinra donna gets
little, if any, notice from the delicate
hands which patter all over the house

The latest suggestion for the torture
OF the coming japanese is that Of the
Philadelphia Ledger. recommends
that all the Missionary Boards send
delegates to Washington to lay before
the Princes the leading points of doc

derstanding of the religious condition
of the United States. What an idea |!

Terms of subscriptlon--in Advance.
Union Constitutional Party.

Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, and
Hon. Edward Everett, of Massachu-
setts, are the candidates for President
and Vice President Of the Union Con-
stitutional Party, which held its Con.
vention last week. The platform of
the party is o broad one, embracing
the Union, Constitution and Laws
to do good to everyone, and to have
uppermost the good of our glorious
country. The delegates to this Con-
yention consisted chiefly of antiquated
politicians of the good old times when
Clay and his compatriots were the
stock 10 trade--old line Wings, and
others of that class. Hon. John Bells
long and successful career as public
man may bring to him many support
ers, who admire the firmness with which
he has withstood the wiles of the op-
posing parties Hon. Edward Ever
EFT is conceded to be one of the most
eminent statesmen now living, his lit
erary attachments having placed him
in the highest public position, while in
private circles he is well known and
respected. His connection with the
Mount ernon Association, and his
endeayors to redeem the Tomb of
Washington from disgrace, make his
pane household word, and we doubt
not. if the fair sex had the voting to
do, Hon. Edward Everett would be
elected. As the party have raised no
particular platform orcode ofprinciplss
upon which to act, the two great par
ties appear rather shy of them, and
each are fearful of the effect to be pro-
dnced upon their respective interests.
Some one must suffer. Who will it be /?

BLAcK TEA AND GREEN. Sir John
Bowring, ct recent lecture in Glas-
gov, touched upon the tea trade, and
the withdrawal of the monopoly-the
trade being much more than tripled--
the quality, instead of being deterio-
rated being much better than it was,
and the price, instead of being higher,
being very much lower. If they were
to give a Chinaman green tea, be
would consider himself insulted.

A Convention OF Hebrew Christians.

A Convention Of Hebrew Christians,
or converted Jews, was lately held in
New York, when an Association was
formed with the title, American
Hebrew Christian Brotherhood Its
object is to propagate the Gospel
among the Jews. 1t has already its
own organ, the Esraelite Indeed, pub.
lished in New York. with nearly 1000
subscribers. Among the converted
Jews in this country are found one
United States Senator, about Thirty
Christian ministers, besides College
professors, physicians, lawyers, and
prominent merchants. The number OF
Jews in this country is computed at
$50, 1000, and not $4,000 as has been
enormously stated. Some of their
prominent Rabbis are of the opinion
that they win number ], 900, 900 few

The DISAPPEARANCE OF Mrs. BREN-
MANI viii be recollected that nearly
year ago the wife of Capt. Brennan,
Of the army, mysteriously disappeared
from New York The idea that she
had eloped was secuted, and it was
therefore inferred that she had been
outraged and murdered on Staten Is
land, where she was last supposed to
have gone. A correspondent of the
Tribune, writing from Florence, how
ever, relates that female there has
been several times recognized as the
missing woman, and that she is in com
pany with an army Lieutenant named
Powell T. Wyman, who was former
ly attached to Capt. Brennan's corps.

TRADE WITH JAPAN The visit of
the Japanese Embassy to this country
calls attention to the prospective trade
with Japan about which extravgant
expectations have been entertained.
Those best acquainted With the hab-
its OF the very slowly, aud cannot
amount to much unless the Japanese
fall into the habits of our eastern
civilization. They are a single people,
with few wants three cents day is
liberal allowance for the support
OF 8 Japanese.
An American merchant last year
took 100000 worth of cotton and
wooden fabrics to Japan, but this stock
80 glntted the market that he was
obliged to carry half OF them to China
for sale. The people of Japan have
been accustomed to make all the arti-
Giles needed in their cheap mode of life,
and they will not be likely very soon
to abandon their habits for such as
will require greater industry. The
only things they have to sell are lead,
sulphur and furs They have rich
lead, sulphur mines, which would be
very productive with our methods and
machinery If Americas can get the
privilege of working these mines, and
thus establishing something like a liv-
ing enterprise in Japan, it may begin
social Transformation that shall make
them ultimately productive and
commercial people.
For the present, trade with them
will be necessarily limited. They are
besides repealed by the rapacity shown
by some Of the English merchants
since they have been allowed to trade
in the country, and by the drunken
ness, rowdyism and RIGHTEOUSNESS of
the Christian sailors visiting their
ports, of whose excuses have been q
disgrace to civilization.

THE preliminary measures for OBJ
tanning some sort OF testimonial for
John G. Heenan, the pugilist, were
taken on Monday evening by select
party of his admirers, who met at the
Malta saloon, in Broadway, N. Y
Resolutions congratulatory and com
plimentary to the Champion Of the
World, and Jack Mcdonald and
James Cusick, his trainer and second,
were passed, and committee of sixteen
appointed with power to collect the
requisite funds for the purchase of a
champions belt, or whatever else
might be agreed upon.

the neel OF the straw sandal. Another
cord is fastened to the one round the
instep which goes between the great
toe and that Of the Others, and attach
ed to the sandal underneath the foot.
This they slip off aud on like an ordi-
nary slipper. This shoe Of theirs is
supposed to be the style Of the origi-
nal sandal worn in the early ages of
the world.
The Embassy will remain only some
four or FIVE weeks, then leave for home
The principal object Of the mission is
to get an English copy of the treaty
signed BY the President of the United
States. The original burnt in the
great fire at Jeddo two years ago.
The copy in Japanese was saved.
This they bring with them, and copy
of il not signed, and a letter from the
Tycoon to the President.
The Embassy brings with it some
$4,000 cash, for the purpose of max
ing purchases. There are two boxes
of $4,000 each. one $l3,40O, one
$4,000, one SIS. 900, and some 81, 900
of silver, supposed to be that of their
own money. Their money was all
brought from Japan in Mexican dol
lars aud American half dollars, stamped
with the japanese MARIAN arrange
ment made by Commissioner Harris
Foreign coin has never before been
received in Japan till lately, except at
a very deprecated value.
They bring an immense amount of
baggage-over eighty tons-which
made four full car loads over the Pa
mama Railroad. They have fifteen
boxes containing valuable presents for
the President Of the United States.
The japanese insist that there are
no words in their language which re-
semble words Of the same meaning in
the Chinese language. 1t is q singu-
lar fact, that there is great similarity
between the japanese and the North
American Indian languages-some
words being Identical showing that
it is not at all improbable but that our
native Indians first came from Japan
having been blown off in their junks on
to the Oregon coast.
The mystery which has surrounded
this wonderful people for thousands of
years, by its non-intercourse with the
rest of the world, will no longer exist.
Our country has done that which no
nation of the East could effect, al
though centuries trying to dc what We
have the first time trying-opening the
ports Of Japan. They have done US
the honor Of sending to this country
the first national representation, and
we hope their mission ulay be a sue
cessful and pleasant one. -NeaU York
Tribune, Nay 10.

WHEN some Of the members of the
Japanese suite first came on shore and
wandered through the streets, and for
the first time saw ladies wearing crino-
line, they were utterly COMPOUNDED,
thinking they were only equal to the
solid bodies which filed them They
had never dreamt of such woman. =
One Of them in his simplicity ventured
to touch the side of one of these walk
ing balloons, when yielding to the
pressure, it caved in and the japanese
discovered that things were not what
they seemed, and burst into a ft Of
laughter.
