AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.-JAPAN, Nav l. 1860 :.
The alarms created by the assassination of the
hegent have subsidized. To foreign ewes the condi-
ton OF the empire is of quiet vet we know not
what is beneath the surface. The Government in
termlt none OF the precautions taken at first, but
nave rather increased their guards and systemized
their defences. The guard houses have been in
creased and enlarged. Imagine chereaur de frieze
thrown across Broadway at short distances apart
with gateWays fanked by guard-house with six
OF ten soldlers with muskets bayonets and swords;
extend this to every street, place guard at everv
ooat-landlng block every avenue to the city with
guarded gates, and you will have some idea
OF the course pursued here. Every Japanese en-
. .erihg okunama Is under espionage, and must, if
not known, give satisfactory account for his be-
ing there The Japanese have taken advantage of
ths time TO persuade the Consuls of foreign powers
resident at kaDagawa to leave that place, under
the plea that their lives were. more endangered
there, and go to Yokohama, where they could be
easily protected. Having succeeded in diverting
all the foreign trade to Yokuhama they hoped in
tn this manner to clear Kanagawa of all foreigners.
Inc Consuls would not go, and the Japanese are
protecting them where they are, by throwing high
iences around their grounds. Through Japanese
sources hear to-day that a new Regent has beeu
appointed He is said to be the late Prime Minis
.er, VINO wasremoved some months since to give place
10 the present incumbent. II so, the foreign rem
resentatives will have little JOY in the change. As
frime Minister he was particularly obnoxious,
being OF the decided anti-foreign party
The Japanese axe the liveliest interest in the
present aspect of Chinese affairs in which the more
intelligent are well posted. The unfortunate affair
OF the Peho is as well known in Japan as in Amer
1ca. Ihe common people thoroughly understand
also that France and England are coming out with
great force to avenge that disaster and often ex.
press lear lest they visit Japan also. have been
often asked if the Americans were not also allied
with the other two powers, and am glad to assure
.hem 10 the contrary, for there is no doubt that
Americans are regarded with particular favor in
this Empire. -
ADRoIT Sw1NDLER.-A man calling himself E. r.
Miller, and haling from Manchester Calvert conn
ty, Nd, came to this town some ten or twelve davs
since, with the ostensible purpose of buving out
one OF our merchants, and of establishing him elf
In business here. He had deposited a check of $40
on Baltimore bank, for collection at the Mont.
ceilo BANK, which was promptly paid by the bank
In Baltimore. He then agreed to purchase of Mr..
a. h. Cleaveland his stock of goods, and an inven.
tory was taken on Saturday afternoon and he was
to have taken possession on Monday last. In the
meantime, he had lodged two checks of four hun
dred dollars each, with the Monticello Bank, and
two OF six hundred dollars each with the Farmers
BANK, payable in Baltimore. On SATURDAY. night
ne purchased gold watch for one hundred and
thirty-fve dollars, of Mr.. j. w. Lipop, and gave
him check on the Farmers Bank for the same.
which was paid, after its endorsation by L.; he
then drew four hundred dollars from the Monticel
10 Bank, as his Baltimore checks had been entered
TO ms credit by Mr.. Flanagan, the cashier, and
on Monday morning he hired horse of BarksdaIe
Fretwell, and took himself off To parts unknown.
ne checks which he had deposited in our banks
were forgeries, as they have been returned pro-
tested. As the wires on the Alexandria and Rich
mond telegraphs were cut below town on Sunday
n1ght, 1t quite probable that this adroit torger
and swindler cut them himself to give him time to
get out of the reach of the officers of the law

The confession of Harden will not be made pub
hc until the day of his execution, perhaps after,
when 1t VIII be published, together with a history
OF his lie written by himself, in book form, the
copyright of which will be secured for the benefit
of his father. There are many rumors as to the
details OF the confession, none of which are re-
