HIRIKAR IN JAPAN.--A letter written by
Frahe!Inan at JcId3, and dated January 5, con
tains the following:
The japanese who yesterday passed through tie
principal streets of Hongo the arlstocratic quarter
Of Jeddo were surprised to not one; but four
teen houses covered from top 70 bottom with white
hangngs, sign that each Of their owners, no.
ble or some high functionary, had been ordered BY
the Tycoon to kill himself during the day by rip
ping open his bowels. On receiving notice the
unhurpv man makes immediate preparation for
death. He calls his friends and relatives around
him, and with them he drinks rye brandy, eats
swee;meats, and jests upon the uncertainty of hu-
man affairs, until the arrival oftbe Imperial To-
spector sent so see the execution executed.
On his entrance the master Of the house rises,
takes leave of bis friends aud passes into another
with the inspector and two or three relations:
After hearing the decree read, the condemned man
draws his sabre, makes one cut across and another
along his abdomen aud, lastly, cuts his throat. 1t
often happens that man has on strength to make
the. first cu.. IN that trusty servant, stand
ing behind him for the purpose, strikes off his
head. No one has any knowledge of the offences
for which these fourteen peTsonages were condemn
ed to death, but heard that they were suspected
of being too sincere partizans of the alliance with
Europeans. Another report was that they had
been engaged in some mysterious conspiracy.
