TIE TREASURE OF THE SAN PEDRo.-From
letter from George w Fuller, superintendent
of the American submarine company, to gem
tleman In this ETY., we gather the following ac-
count ofthe work on the wreck of the old irigate
in Cumana bay, subsequent to his arrival;
"Mr. Fuller reached the wrecking brig Nellie

work in prosperous condition, about $1,000

The climate is a genial ohe, but as northeast

Natives Of Wales are not very numerous in
this country, and, except in a few localities, are
rarely seen. They congresate chiefly where
they can find employment in mines and quar-
res. Many of them work in the marble and
slate quarries of Vermont, and a still greater
number in the region about Utica, New York
One Of their customs is TO hold an annual icsti-
val, at which prizes are offered for excellence in
poetieal composition and in music. This custom
is of great antiquity in their native country,
where, as here, the annual gathering is
called "Eisteddfod." A festival of this kind is
to be held in Utica on the first day of the new
year, of which the Herald of that city says:
"rhen and there will assemble the men of let
tiers, the 'bcirdd with frant a deiawd beirdd
Ynys Prydain,' the 'pryddestwyr,' the 'rhigym-
wyr,' the 'traithodwyr,' the 'flugchwedleuwyr,'
and innumerable other kinds OF 'wyr,' TO sit in
Judgment on the present state of Welsh bard
das' Then will the merits of 'mesurau cae-
thion' and 'mesurau ihyddion' be discusSad,
and 'cylriuach y beirdd' brought from its hid

conducted, this meeting can hardly fail to re-
suit in much good; at any rate 1t will be highly
interesting"

There is always great turmoil when conser-

ton The public discussion Of republicanism
against monarchy, in England, causes an eX-
element somewhat like that which attended the
anti-slavery movement, in this country, thirty
five or forty years ago. Old institutions which
are defended by prejudice and custom, but can
not furnish good reasons for continuing TO eX-
ist are usually violent and noisy, when called
in question, and use mobs and riots against
their opposers because they know it is imposS
bic to get aid from reason. The English repub.
lieans do not propose revolution. They simply
claim right to advocate republican institutions
and do what they can TO persuade England to
adopt them peaceably. There is nothing more
than this in the speeches of Sir Charles Dixie;
and Mr. Odger, one of the ablest and most in.
fluenlial leaders of the "uades-unions,' in u
public speech, the other day, "disclaimed any
wish to establish a republic by force, Or before

Letter from Japan.
IrRoM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ]

KOBE, Japan, Nov, II, 1871
II has been the custom among the japanese,
from the earliest times, for each new mikado on
ascending the throne to give a name to his
reign. The name fixed upon by the present
mkado was "Meiii," which may be translated
Enlightened Rule, and the events which are
taking place around us every day approve the
choice.
There is no reason TO attribute either to him
OF his advisors at that time any special love of
progress, indeed the party Of the mikado was
the conservative party of Japan. # no doubt
comprised many who were influenced rather by
hatred and Jealousy Of the tycoon than by aay
dislike for his plans, yet the rank and file of the
party were almost TO a man conservative, hostile
to foreigners and anxious to drive them from
the land that they might return to the seclusion
which their fathers had maintained So long.
The tycoon was put down, not so much because
be was a tyrant as because he was radical and
innoyator. Even the first changes which were
proposed in the government, were received with
favor, because they were looked upon as neces-
smy 10 the re-establishment of the mix ADDS
throne, as it existed in the golden age of Japan
csc history. Then there was no tycoon; then
the domios were entirely dependent on the will

A MILITARY INvALID.-A soldier, patient
at Herbert hospital, Shooters hill a few days
ago, wrote the following advice 10 a comrade:
Previous 20 going to hospital rub your tongue
with chalk, ready for the word, Put ont your
tongue;' then, when the doctor is going TO
feel yonr pulse, be sure to knock your elbow
against the wall, and it will beat to any number
in a minute; then, il you wish TO persegere to
be invaded, be on the lookout for IL friend to
bring you a bit of raw bullock's liver every
morning, in order to spit blood for the doctor;
have little bit of the liver in your mouth, iin.
der your tongue, fresh, ready for him when he
comes round the hospital ward, and have
good piece ready to spit ont for him when he APP
proaches your cot then give great sigh and
groan, and you are sure TO be ordered lamb
chops, chicken, rice pudding, port wine, GUM
ness's stout-in fact you may live on the fat of
the land for the remainder Of your soldering,
which will not be long; but, depend upon It,
you are sure of pension, even under ten years
service" We hope there are not many in hos
ptal quite so clever as this cold soldier. "-Med,

There will always be plenty of people to de-
plore the degeneracy of the times. Solomon re-
proved those fogies in his day, but their number
has continued undiminished ever since. One of
the most common forms in which their opinions
find expression, is lamentation over the decay of
craftsmanship, the want of intellectual vgor
and commanding talent manifested in congress
now, compared with the qualifications of mem
beis in these respects twenty or thirty or more
years ago. A fair test of the justice of these
complaints is afforded by the return to congress
Of Hon. Lewis D. Campbell of Ohio, after an
absence of twelve years. Mr.. Campbell served
in congress about ten years, beginning in 1S49.
During his first term Webster, Clay and Cal
houn were in the senate, and other gentlemen
of less reputation and ability, but not so
greatly inferior as not to retain for the
lower house its fall share of the re-
spect and confidence of the country, were
with him in the house of representatives. Mr.
Campbell soon distinguished himself, and for
two or three congresses was the acknowledged
leader Of the house. He was first among the
men of fifteen or twenty years ago. lie returns
with so many added years, and the increased
wisdom the!s must be presumed to bring with
them, to find himself by no means the leader or
even leader ofhis party in the house. The men of
to-day, some of whom are older than he in years
aud many about his age, DO not acknowledge
the superiority which was SO manifest to their
predecessors, and the public are not likely 10 be
convinced of it by any exhibition of his tai
ents that Mr.. Campbell has yet made. He
is only sixty years old, aud by no means
superannuated, and there is no reason
that we know Of to doubt that his capacity
for public business and for making his influence
felt among his associates is unmpaired. The
test seems TO be perfectly fair one, and, if
so, it proves that the house OF representatives in
tbe-thirty-second congress is surpassed in abil-
~ by that of the foriy-seeond. One observer
who has attended the debates of both bodies
estimates the superiority of the present congress,
as compared with its predecessor of twenty years
ago, at just sixty per cent.

The petition of the directors of the fee public
library, which we publish in another column
this morning, will doubtless receive the favora-
Bile attention of the legislature, since it asks
only return TO the well settled policy of the
state, departed from in this instance through in
adyertencc rather than design. There seems 10
be no sound or even Ineligible reason why other
property of educational and benevolent insttu-
lions should be exempt from taxation, which
does not apply with equal force to investments
in bank stocks. We mast believe, therefore,
that the attention of the legislature was not
called 10 the point that the bill before it, pro-
vldng for the taxation of bank stocks, was so
drawn as to admit of no exemptions in favor of
those institutions whose beneficial influence the
commonwealth has always recognized by re-
leving them from the burden of taxation, and
that there will be no delay in repairing the error
now pointed out.

The election of speaker of the New York
representative assembly, which will soon meet
and organize, stirs the republicans of that state
and causes a good deal of active canyassing.
o. course there are leading republicans who
think more of keeping up two fighting factions
than oil making their party strong and prosper
Gus; but this, we hope, is not the aim Of the
great majority Of those who have been elected
members of the legislature. We notice, how
ever, that the Conkling-Fenton antagonism is
active in the canvass, and that this, more
than regard TO merit, regulates what is said
and done by some of those interested. A half
dozen or more candidates for the speakership
have been mentioned; but we infer that the
two leading candidates are Thomas G. Alvord
of Syracuse and Henry Smith of Albany. Mr.
Alvord not wearing the Conkling colors, is saw
agely attacked by the New York Times, which
hurls at him such missiles as "coriuptionist,"
associate Of Tammany thieves" and the like,
in very tremendous way. The nomination
will be made next Monday night, and the Times
seems disposed 10 have fight of the factions.

Reporting in France.

The vacancies in the corps of legislative re-
porters are not easy TO fill, and at the present
time the entire corps is greatly overworked
But they do not have to write as fast or as much
as we do. 1t is estimated that two minutes
writing makes an average Of thirty liries of the
Official report, that is TO say, about 800 words,
or, as will be seen, $50 words minute. To
stranger the French seem to speak very fast, but
such is not the case, for there are very few speak
ers who exceed 200 words a minute, or who
reach that figure. NJ. De Maleville quotes from
Gibbon to show that the impetuosity of the
French orator is greater than that Of the Eng
lish, but his argument is not based upon suffl-
GENTLY extensive examination. In the affair of
Warren Hastings, he says Sheridan and Burke
pronounced from 70f0 to 1900 words an hour or
taking the mean, 1900, we have 100 words a
minute, while the fast French orator uses 1850.
But il there is no error in these figures, it is evil
dent that neither Burke nor Sheridan spoke as
rapidly as the men of to-day. The French
writer can do very well with that speed-15O
words a minute-and he has very little con-
secutive writing. He stands at a high desk
below the speaker, SO that he can easily
turn his head toward the members. 0uieurs and
two classes of official writers, the the left of
the reUiSeufs. The former stand on
the speakers desk, the latter on the right. Be-
fore them is a chronometer, with long hand to
reach the minutes. The rOieur writes but two
minutes; nj the expiration of that time he gives
liz NOIu, anu MS SuCCtSSOT up lllt sue
ceeding sentence, while the first goes into the
anteroom TO write out his notes at once. The
second class write for fifteen minutes, and are
then replaced. AT night the two classes com
pare their work. There being ten of the former
class, each rOuteur has eighteen minutes in
which to write out his two minutes work, and
II the session is prolonged over a few hours a
different set is introduced Such n thing as re-
porting Tor three, four, Or more hours on a
stretch would never be deemed possible by Il
French reporter Sometimes, however, the
two minutes rule is not strictly observed Tor
one man may let his predecessor "soak, as
they call it, at the desk, and then work it up TO
him AT another time. But the reyisers very
rarely do this, for quarter Of an hour is consid-
cred very long stretch of reporting, at the
rapid rate of one hundred and fifty words n
minute. Any of our writers would consider
the French work mere child's play. There are
many other interesting facts about the official
corps, but have no space to continue the mat
ter.--C0r. ". y. Times.

The French minister of the interior considers
il necessary to check the license of the public
jourDals. Lonis Napoleon, when emperor, found
it necessary to do the same thing: the provi-
sional government, which usurped the name of
the republic, when Napoleon became prisoner,
diverted some Of hls energies from the national
defense TO the punishment Of journalists, aud
the commune in its turn could not tolerate a free
press. 1t is now proposed to increase the
strngeney of the laws for the control OF the
press, and the journals most offending will soon
be made to feel their effects So, at least, say the
telegraphic reports. The emperor would not
have punished the same journalists nor checked
the expression Of the same sentiments that
were objectionable 10 Gambetta's republic, nor
would the commune have called that intolera.
