JAPAN.
The ASsAssINATIoN.-The report of the assas-
sination of Prince Goitaro, in Japan, brought
by the overland mail, appears in the Alta
Californian of May 81, as already given, except in
one important particular. TIL telegraph made the
error OF stating that the Tycoon was assassinated
when it was only Minister of the government that
was thus despatched. The language of the Alta
Californian is
The Prince Goitaro (who was at the head of the
present Japanese government) assassinated on
the 10Th March. lie was going from his house to
the palace, with his train, when he was attacked
by fourteen japanese, dressed as travellers His
retlnue had six killed. and several wounded.
The news was brought by the schooner Page,
Capt. Moorhouse, which had CARVED from Kama
gawa, Japan, in twenty-nine days, being the
quickest trip record" She must have left
hanagawa about the 2lst of April. The Alta Cali

uk0wING HOSTILITY OF THE JAPANESE AUrHoRI-
TIES TOWARDS THE TREATY PowERs.-It can hardly
De doubted, says the North China Herald. that
most OF the evils to which subjects of tha Trootr
Powers are exposed arise from the ananese oCIicoI
interference. The mobiles are Jealous of the free
dom of foreigners while their revenue is shorn of
halt its worth, silk tea, oil, and the necessaries
of life have, since the ratification of the treaties
doubled their value, and increased in proportion
the expense of their large and sothfu establish
ments.
1t is said that the members of the several Leoa-
tions seldom leave their houses unarmed as thew
feared for their personal safety. 1t would SEEM
too, that the report of one of the ministers hav-
ing, during the heat of discussion grasped the hilt
OF his sword and exclaimed "et US rid ourselves of
these treaties or fight for freedom % is not an idle
story. Muskets and rifles are now equally as well
made In Japan as in Europe, and the Dalmos' (no-
bles retainers are daily taught their exercise and
use.
Much, continues our Shanghai authority, will
depend upon the coming campaign of the Allies to
China. If the demands of Great Britain and France
are granted without further recourse to bostiIites
the difficulties of the Foreign Minister at Jeddo
will be feartuy increased. and it will require all
the diplomacy they are masters of to prevent mat
ters drifting into a war.
The bad feeling of the Japanese towards foreion
ers decreased in places distant from the capital
AT hanagawa there were peaceful relations and
the most serious teuds were among the European
community itself. At Nagasaki, the site of the
Gnft lnn tnrt L.
ling North, the dislike changed its form until al.
most cordiality reigned between the foreigners and
the japanese.
