1t seems that Senator Hammond resigna-
ton is immediate, letter having been re-
eeived here directing his personal effects TO
be forthwith sent to South Carolina. 1
The Collector at Beaufort has oficially IN
dicsted his resignation, being unwilling, he
says, to sery under Republican Admins
tration. .....- ...
1t has heretofore been stated that the sub
ject Of an address was under Executive con-
sideration, but it now appears that the idea
is abandoned, in view Of the early meeting
of Congress, to whom, by the Constitution,
the President is required 10 giVeiRformation
of the state of the Union.
WASHINGTON, November le,-Fhe State
Department has received a6viees from Min
lister Harris, of the 9th of July. He states
that the Japanese steamer Cu1dimdTrdb bad
arrived at Jeddo from San Francisco, and on
the return voyage was navigated by the
japanese alone. This, he says, is the first
instance in which a vessel constructed solely
by Asatics has successfully crossed the great
North Pacific Ocean, and strikingly proves
the japanese to be capable of Improvement,
and that they might soon place themselves
at the head Of Oriental enterprise, if allowed
freely to cultivate the great powers they
possess.
The Commander Of the steamer, with two
| Governors of Foreign Affairs, had called on
| Mr.. Harris, saying they came by the command
| of the Tycoon, and were directed to express
to him His Majesty's sincere thanks for the
| friendly and cordial manner in which the
| Commander and officers of his steamer were
| received by the authorities and people Of
| San Francisco. They were directed TO thank
| him particularly for the complete rep6ir Of
| the steamer at Mare-islsnd Navy yard, and
| express the deep sense His Hajesty enter
| tained of the kindness and courtesy of Capt.
| Cunningham, Commander of the Navy-yard.
The reports of the officers of the Cdndi-
| mdrrdh, and letters received from the En-
bassy, with full accounts of the reception at
San Francisco, and the kindness shown
them by all classes of our people, have pro-
duced lively sensation, especially among
the mobiles heretofore opposed to the treaty
of Jeddo.
One of the officials naveIy remarked to Mr..
Harris: eve did not believe you when you
told us of the friendly feelings of your coun-
try for us, but we now see that all you have
said was true a
Mr.. Harris is of the opinion, when the EN-
bassadors return to Japan, and relate oftheir
reception by the President, of their large
experience in the States, and when they
state what they have seen of the greatness
and prosperity of our country, it will have
an important effect, and lead to better state
of feeling on their part toward US, and to-
ward the intercourse of foreign nations
There is no truth in the report that Mr..
Brown is about to retire from the editorship
of the Constellation, or that its publication is
soon to be suspended.
