got wind of the affair. The nature of the CHARGE
was not exactly known, but it evident that the
negro was slave, from the fact that when the wo-
man stepped upon the platform of the Philadelpbia

worn by slaves, dropped from the place of conceal

The JAPANESE EMBAssY.-The steamer Niagara
with tie returning japanese on board is announc
ed to have arrived on the 9th of August at the Af
rican Naval Station. ST. Paul de LOapdo SO davs
from New York. The remainder of the PASSAGE, if
Is estimated, will be made as follows: From Loando
to Mauritius, 4,5O0 miles, forty days. where stop
OF ten days will be made; Mauritius to Singapore,
aoUO miles, thirty-six days run-stop ten days;
singapore to Hong Kong, 600 miles, will occupy
eighteen days-stop ten days; and from Hong Kong
to Jeddo, 800 miles, will occupy at least twenty
davs, as this and the run from Singapore to Hong
hong VIII nave to be made the whole of the way
IN the teeth OF the mOnsoOns, occupying atore tber
l44 days, which, added to that already occupied
Will amount to 100 days from New Y ork to Japan.
Everything thus far seems to have gone smoothly,
all the Japanese having enjoyed excellent health
and occupying their time in the study of the Eng
lish language in which they are said to be making
rapid progress. All restraint has been thrown off;
ambassadors, Interpreters, doctors, Tommy, cooks
servants, &c, have all mixed up promiscuousIy,
cracking and eating peanuts, sitting cross-Iegged
on the floor, smoking their pipes, happy as the
Hottentots, were they in Loando
There appears to be one drawback, however, to
the otherwise universal enjoyment of the ,Japs on
board the Niagara, which is, the performance of
religious exercises; PRAYERS being said on the ouar
ter deck nigh and morning, and PRAYER meetings
being held among the crew every evening. They
regard it as the more strange because the steamers
Powhattan and Roanoke, which brought them to the
United States, dispensed with religious services on
board, except Sundays. 1t is looked upon bv them
as an attempt on the part of our Government to
convert them to the Christian faith. This, to saw
the least Of it, is in bad taste, and may result dis.
astrously to our proposed commercial intercourse
with that peculiar people.
Some ITEMS ABOUT EMpREssEs.-The Empress of
Austria is so unwell that her physicians have de-
cared that she must spend the winter in the island
OF Madeira, and messenger has already been sent
there to make preparations for her arrival. 1t was
| thought that the rude climate OF Vienna and the
dust resulting from the demolition of buildings
caused by the opening of new streets, would be
more thar the lady could stand this winter. The
| Empress will make long sea voyage to get to
Madeira. She was to leave Vienna on the 10Th OF
! October, on her way Belgium. At Ostend OF
Antwerp she will embark in an English frigate for
the health giving island whittier she is bound Her
| sister, the ex Queen of Naples, and probably the
exiled Francis H., will spend the winter with hel

The Empress of France, they say, looks extreme.

her delicate frame, and her pensive expression OF

ager Empress of Russia.
All the Empresses now living are Young and
handsome women. The most prominently be
fore the worlds eye is, OF course, the Empress Eu
genie. She was born in 1926, and was thirty. fouI
years old the 5th of last May. Her nader
| name was Eugenie Marie de Guzman, Countess o.
| Teba. The Empress Of Austria will be only twen
ty-three years old on the 9th of next month -
She was, like the exQueen of Naples Princess O
| Bavaria, and her name was Elizabeth Amelia Eu

years old. The Empress Of Russia is thirtv-siy
years old, and was married to the present Emper
or, then the Grand Duke Alexander, when seven
teen years old. She is a daughter of the Crane
Duke OF Hesse and has nearly dozen names.
THE HARPER BRorHERs.-The great publishin.
house of Harper Brothers, New York has de
! servedly earned a worldwide reputation and is il
| TACT one OF the foremost houses in the world. S,
far as the United States are concerned it is the mn
doubted head of the trades and we believe it is a,
thoroughly conservative, and little liable to well
founded objections political grounds, as any pub
fishing house in the country. We consequently
observe with regret reports that in Charleston anC
in New Orleans, ''deaiers in Harpers' Weekly anC
Monthly publications have closed their accounts
with the publishers and returned the copies or
hand" for political reasons. On this report in the
Charleston Mercury the New York Journal Of Com
merce remarks:
''We are quite sure that this is incorrect Very
likely some feeling has been aroused at Charleston
| by the appearance of the name ofJames Harper a
one of the Vice Presidents of the Palace Gardel
Republican meeting. But, as we stated on the fol
lowing day, his name was used without his knowl
| edge or consent. He was not at the meeting, bu
attended the Union meeting on the same evening
Every one here knows that the Harpers are opposed
to the Republican party"
| We are ourselves personally copniZant of Tho
fact that the members of the firm of Harper
Brothers national Democrats, who through {
long term of years have held their conservative
position firmly against the tide of abolition anati
csm. They have vigorously excluded from thei
presses everything believed to be either inimica
or offensive to the South. They have in fact in

RACHEL AND THE OYSTER R.-Mademoiselle Saral
Felix, sister of Rachel, and herself an actress O
merit, has left the stage to go into the somewha
prosaic business Of cultivating oyster bed, OF
the west coast of France. And "speaking of oys

related of the great Rachel herself. During he
theatrical career, she had offended hair Drained
reckless actor, who resolved to have revenge upo
the proud Queen of Tragedy. One night, he play
was his duty to rush on the stage, after suppose
long absence, and throw himself at her feet an
clasp her hand The ''point'' was one ofRaches bes
in the whole piece. The scamp had provided him
from the shell just as he rushed on the stage, ant
throwing himself at the feet of the great actress
he clasped her hand, and left the un pleasant clam
myfeeling bivalye in its palm. Rachel was Mortified
She knew not what she grasped, and stood in de
spair, hesitating whether to throw it down on tn
stage, or carry it off with her. Weknow not wha
determination she reached, but her ''point" wa
efectually marred for that evening, and the grace
less actor was avenged.
