The STEAMSHIP service between this port and
San Francisco, as at present carried on, is any
thing but satisfactory. We have no desire to
.grumble; but, while acknowledging the advant-
ages of a generally speedy and regular dispatch
Of mails and accommodation for passengers, as a
result Of the trips Of the Australian Line, the
very limited accommodation afforded by these
steamers for freight is often a considerable annoy
aDce, and in fact a detriment to business men.
The steamers are never able or willing to carry
cargo for us Of any amount, between here and
San Francisco, either coming or going, and COM
plants are frequent from consignors in California
who, after transporting their goods to the wharf
and meeting with a fat refusal to take them, are
mulcted in fresh charges of carriage and storage.
The freedom from sundry charges which the
steamers enjoy at this port amounts to something
near $4,000 per annum, for which in return we
appear to be getting but scant accommodation
We are always hoping for the best, however, and
trust that whenever the line becomes " settled y
and the new boats are running, things may be
altered for the better 50 far as our trade is con-
cerned.

Ma. De LoSG, who was until recently the
Minister Of the United States to Japan, has been
l~eeturing in Sacramento on that country, in the
course Of which among other interesting matters
he described the changes that occurred in the
empire during his residence there. He was an
eyewitness Of one Of the greatest social, civil,
and in inception, ecclesiastical revolutions ever
beheld in any country. When on bis arrival he
was FIRST introduced 70 the Emperor, he was
brought into an apartment kept in the barbarism
and pomp Of oriental seelusion the Emperor
was too sacred a person for any but a distinguished
few TO look upon. lie was approached with a
kind Of worship, and people bowed to him as to
a god. Outside barbarians were not allowed TO
catch n glimpse of him. But the last time Mr..
De Long was presented, all that was changed.
The Emperor was simply the civil and military
ruler Of the country. He was as easy Of access
and almost as unaffected in manner as the Presi-
dent of the United States. He reviewed his
soldiers, took the oversight of the State and the
general supervision Of the Government. Some of
his high officers are already ~professed Christians.
Many missionaries are scattered through japan,
nominally as teachers, but actually as pioneers in
the work of evangelization. There are twenty
professed Christians among the Government off
GERS at the capital, now called Tokia, formerly
Yedo. Mr.. Hatake Yama, a native Christian,
educated in America, is at the head OF the Bureau
Of Instruction. His predecessor was a bigoted
opposer of missionaries. At Yokohama the mis-
sionaries have perfect freedom, except that they
would not probably be allowed to preach in the
streets Of the city. But a new educational infu-
ence is now at work in Japan. We are told that
there are in Yedo no less than eighteen news
papers, some of which are published daily and
others every fifth day.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that His E1cellency the
Minister Of Finance has resigned from olEcc, TO
take effect from to-day, will create no surprise.
Governor Nahaolelua has served this Government
faithfully for over twenty-five years, during
which he has enjoyed, as well as deserved, the
fullest confidence Of FIVE successive Sovereigns.
And now that he is enfeebled by age and untitled
for the cares and labors Of Office, it is but just
and proper that he should retire upon the pension
which has been provided for him by a vote of the
Legislature, and which he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he has honestly earned.

Mr.. BEECHER AID commandments
body has started the absurd rumor that q Congrega-
tional Council is to be called to inquire into the
charges against Henry Ward Beecher. 1t may as
we'll be remembered in this connection, that while
the Ministerial Association to which Mr.. Beecher be-
longs is quite at liberty to try him, and would be at
liberty to turn him out of their membership if they
came to a conclusion that he is unworthy to remain
in it, no ecclesiastical council could be called on con-
gregational principles to try him, unless it were con-
voked by the Plymouth Church, kind of council
not, as things now seem to stand, to be looked for in
the near neutrality-suspicious.

although Of minor importance, it may be sug-
gested here that u Orpheus " is the same indiyid-

power of the Band-master, as the writer assumes,
q to refuse to play for the benefit of the public
whenever he is ordered to do so, nor can he Of
his own y%Olition play for the public at any time,
seeing that the movements of the Band are not
under his control, but are regulated by the head
Of the Military Service-of which the Band is a
part. "For the work he Performs says the

are the opportunities enjoyed by this mendacious
fugleman for knowing whereof he speaks? Teach

writing the scores for them, day by day, is
perchanee an easy task to the comprehension of
this writer. However, our only object in MOTTO
ing the article was to refute the idea sought to be
conveyed, that the Band can iii any way
be held responsible for the movements of the
