Now that the American expedition sent inst Japan is making its way across the Atlantic, in this Grection, let us cast a rapid ears at the singular and difficult relations which the Japanese hold with the commerce of Europe, or rather with that of Hol- land; for no other power than this last has been per- mitted by the government of Jeddo to trade with Japan. ‘As early as 1837, the United States of Ame- rica sent an embassy to Japan, to negotiate for the grit of relations with erican commerce; but movement completely failed. Ten years later, a second mission, with the same object, had the same result. The Dutch, on their part, in 1844, likewise = to obtain a modification of those restrictions, h even to them were hedged in with difficulties, burdened with intolerable and vexatious conditions, and offered in return compara- tively few advantages. William, King of Holland, on occasion, wrote to the Japanese emperor that | national reciprocity was rapidly extending, and that | Bappeared to him that Japanese commerce could not kong remain uninfiuenced by the moye- ments. The Emperor, in thanking the Ki of the Low Countries for his advice, assured him that the | Jaws of the empire of Japan bein, immutable, | mothing could or would be changed from the order | ef things that had prevailed from all time past. | At length the astounding discoveries of treasure stirred up the Western world, and began to react energetically on the destinies of the countries laved the Chinese seas. The commercial activity which, the discovery of the gold of California had wes up in America, had much increased the num- ber vessels trading in the Pacific and passing wear the shores of Japan. This circumstance deter- mined the American government to renew to these semi-barbarians the proposals they had made ‘Mfteen and ten years previously. So, in April, 1851, embracing the opportunity of sending home some cked sailors, they sent to Japan a small ex- | ion, charged to press for the conclusion of a which should permit American ships to ish depots for coal and refitting yards at vari- ue stations within the Japanese territory. The re- ply of the Emperor is still waited for, and the govern- ment of the United States, to hasten the issue of the affair, has sent Commodore Perry to Japan, with a | squadron which shall be able to demand the con- eessions formerly besought—concessions which, in the opinion of the government of the American | Union, should be made common to the trade of the ‘world, From the Annales dw Commerce Exteriewr we _— the following respecting the Dutch trade with japan :— commerce that Holland has with Japan is not mow what it was at the beginning of the seventeenth eentury, during the high and palmy days of th Dutch East India Company. Since then it has muc decreased in value, and at present scarcely exce annually the worth of three millions of francs. ships «espatched every year from Batavia to the fittle island of Decima, lying off the entrance to the of Nangasaki, suffice to transact the business of company, Which purchases the monopoly of the trade for the sum of sixty thousand francs per annum. The government trade, as well as that of private ties, is very complicated; in the Dutch factory at ima, however, this last is under less restraiut than the former, although it is subject to a tax of thirty-five per cent, from which government specula- tions are exempt. This difference arises from the mature of the articles imported. Whilst the government sends to Decima only its colonial | cts, and ‘hose of English and Indian mannfacture, private merchants deal in articles of of which the sale offers much larger profits. The principle articles of importation are :—lst. Of yaw materials, provisions and natura! products-—ben- is fwo , Prussian blue, amber, cajeput oil, red coral, | pore gg palm oil, salts, galls, liqueurs, , Olive oil, opium, saffron, Venice tarpentine, edible bird’s nests. 2d. In manufactures—Morocco and Persian leathers, laces, Fy od bangings, en- gravings and lithographs, tile: ware and tin ware, firearms, cutlery, glassware, sur- gical and optical instruments, &c.' The articles of export, on government account, consist almost ex elusively of refined copper, (10,000 to 12,000 piculs 126 Ibs. each,) and of camphor. The private trade exports are chiefy silk stuffs, Tsequered furniture, porcelain, parasols, and other —. that fetch a high price in Europe. it is easy to predict the answer which will be ebtained by a demonstration that rests on a, armed vessels of war—that is to say, one line- ttle ship, three steam frigates, and four cor- ‘vettes—a completely equipped squadron, and carry- img not lesa than 21) guns. In like manner as China | wound up by opening her trade before the English @annon. £0 must Japan cave in before the irresistible | arguments the Americans will employ. America’s eondact, it is true, has about it an energy which at fret ce appears slightly brutal; but less so, on the whole, than is the barbarous usage of these Orien- tals, who persist in interdicting wandering vessels from accesé to their shores, and continue to hold back the progress of European civilization from those vast, fertile, and populous countries. light, we cannot but applaud this commercial cru- sade undertaken by the United States. Bnt that must not binder us from remarking, with sentiments of regret, that if England has already set her foot on . on Cochin China, and on Siam; if the Ameri- eans are thus forcing themselves on Japan, Fra’ continues to remain alien (etrangére) to efforts wh bave for their end the certain extension in the Indian seas of the influence of ber two most powerful rivals in commerce and industry.

MM. Louat then sued MM. Woerner, and M.

On the 4th inst., Auber's ever pening opera, “La Muette de Portici,” was given at the Brussels Theatre Royal, which was crowded inevery part. The chief honors must be accorded to Mademoiselle Duriez, who, as the Muette, displayed refined sensibility, high intelligence, acuteness of perception, and felici- ty of expression. The silent depicting of her wrongs, her despair, her desire of revenge, and her subse- juent compassion, was more eloquent than words, and proved highly effective. We i not make any remarks on the other artistes, but merely state that the mise en scene was admirable, and that the or- chestra is one ofthe best in Europe, and that the manager appears to be a good caterer for public amusement. The entertainments this winter will be diversified by the operatic performances of Signor Bocea's Italian company, lately arrived from the Prussian capital. That gentleman is one of the most successful tmpresarit of Europe, and, this time also, he has continued to bring together a very good troupe, amongst whom are several established favor- ites. The repertory of Signor Bocca for the season, isa highly attractive one, and our countrymen in Brussels will have again the opportunity of hearing some of the most delightful operas of the “Land of Song.” Markets.

The great changes shown in the above comparison are to be chiefly ascribed to the payment of the dividendsand government advances.

There has been, upon the whole, a fair inquiry for cot ton this week, more particularly during the last two days, although spinners are not supplying themselves to the full extent of the consumption. On speculation, the de- mand is increasing, and there isa desire to invest in the better g ies of American, which are already less plen- tiful than they were a month ago. At the slightest con- cession in price, a larger business would have been done but the enly ‘change we can report is a slight tu occasionally in favor of the buyer, not so much in actnal business when compared with Friday last, as with reference to the quotations, some few sales having been made in middling quality of New Or. leans, at 544. per Ib., quoted last week at 9 1-164, per Ib. In Pernams and Bahias a fair extent of business has been done, and at but litle change from last week's rates. Egyptians continue depressed, but they are not | lower this week.

Our Panama Correspondence. Panama, Jan. 17, 1853. Trade Dull—Arrival of Jesuits from Ecuador— Landed and Marched Across the Isthmus under Arrest—Consular Privileges—Proposed Change in the Constitution—Continuance of the Wet Sea- son—Progress of the Railway—Passenger Statis- tics for the Past Year. Since the date of my last communication, the bu- siness of this port has but very little increased; a few vessels with coal, from England, and one or two ar- rivals from New York, are all we have to report. The passenger transit has much fallen off this year, compared with the corresponding season of 1852, for which we can ascribe no reason. The only local news of importance is the arrival, a few days ago, of a party of Jesnits, expelled from Ecuador, who were sent up here in an Ecuadorian vessel of war, and landed under a guard, previous to being sent across the Isthmus, to embark for our land of freedom. It appears that these men, who were brought here against their will, wished to char- ter a vessel to go to Costa Rica, but were prevented by the government. The act of landing them by compulsion, and forcing them, under the surveillance of the police, to cross the Isthmus, and their being prevented from holding any communication with the people here, was considered by the foreigners as rather an arbitrary act, and slightly at variance with the neutral character of the Isthmus. They are to be embarked for the States, and we wish you joy of their company. Itis contrary to the law of New Granada for Jesuits to enter the country, and this is the excuse of the government for their conduct; but | when we consider that their coming here was an | involuntary act on their part, it does appear rather | a harsh proceeding. The point rene to the privileges and immuni- ties of Consuls has been again opened in the case of Sr. P. Gatta, Sardinian Consul, who refuses to obey the Judge’s order requiring his presence in Court to give evidence in a civil suit, which he refuses to com- ply with, and the government either cannot or will notenforce. The case of the Peruvian Consui re- mains unsettled as yet, and has not further been made public. Our new Governor has as yet kept very quiet, and not disclosed his policy. “Chey say” “he is very much disgusted with the officials here.

During the month of De- cember 568 herrea and $5,147,739 in gold, ar- rived from California, and 1,248 passengers left here for San Francisco. During the past year, according : to the best calculation I can make, 24,000 passengers ek this port for California, and 12,000 arrived from | thence.

THE CHINESE THEATRE IN SAN FRANCISCO. The building brought out by the company of Chi- nese, who performed sometime since at the Ameri- can theatre, has been erected on une street, near Green. Its interior is well worthy of being seen, not colviive its decorations, but for the style of its archi- tecture ; displaying an unusual economy in the use of its material, though the structure presents every requisite of firmness and durability. The seats for the audience, arranged on an inclined plane in a manner that all will have a full view of the stage, will accommodate about a thousand persons. The front and larger portion is provided with backs and comfortably cushioned. This portion of the building will be lighted by twenty-two variegated Chinese lanterns or transparencies, and the walls are orna- | it was voted down.

The orchestra will hold at least forty musicians, who constitute an im- rtant Sa of the performances. The stage, which is devoid of any wings or side scenes, presents a background of carved figures, Chinese characters, gilded and many colored, that forms the most strik- ing part of the display. It is, altogether, a peculiar noyelty.—San Francisco Herald, Dec. 30. QUARTZ MINING LAWS OF NEVADA, A convention of quartz miners recently held at Nevada, after full deliberation and long debate, adopted the following code of mining laws for the government and regulation of quartz mining :— ‘Art. 1. The jurisdiction of the following laws shall ex- tend over all quartz miners and quartz mining property within the county of Nevada :— Art. 2. Each proprietor of a quartz claim shall here- after be entitled to one hundred feet on a quartz ledge or vein; and the discoverer shall be allowed one hundred feet additional. Each claim shall include all the dips, angles and variations of the vein. Art. 3. On the discovery of a vein of quartz, three days shall be allowed to mark and stake off the same, in such manner, by name of the owner and the number of the claim, or otherwise, as shall properly and fully identify such claims. Parties having claims may cause a map or ee tobe made, and a copy filed with the Recorder, if leemed requisite to more particularly fix the locality. Art. 4. Work to the extent of one hundred dollars in yalue, or twenty days faithful labor, shall be performed by each company holding claims, within thirty days from the date of recording the same, as provided for in article 6th of these laws; and the duly authorized re- preventative of a company making oath that such money as been expended, or that sueh labor bas been perform- ed, shall be entitled to a certificate from a County Re- corder or Deputy, guaranteeing undisputed possession of said claims for a term of one year; and for a like sum of money or amount of labor expended er performed within the first twenty days of each succeeding year, duly acknowledged ax herein named, shall entitle the claim- ants or company, from year to zat to further certifi- cates of undisputed proprietorship and possession ; and # company having a mill contracted for in good faith, to the amount of five thousand dollars, for the work- ing of its claim or claims, the proper representatives of the company making oath of the same, shall be en- titled to receive from said County Recorder a title deed to the raid claim or claims, guaranteeing to the claim- ants or company, their successors and assigns, un- disputed possession and proprietorship forever under these laws ; provided that nothing in this article shall be at any time inconsistent with the laws of the United State Art. 56. Whenever the requisite amount of money or labor, as provided for in article 4, has not been expended within thirty days from the adoption of these laws, the claim or claims thus neglected shall be considered aban- doned, and subject to be re-located by any other party or parties. Art. 6. Any person, a citizen of the United States, or | any person having taken the necessary steps to become a citizen of the United States, shall hereafter be in- titled to hold one quartz claim as provided for in article 1, and as many more as may be purchased in good faith for a valuable consideration, for which cer- tifieates of proprietorship shall be issued by the County Recorder. Art. 7. The regularly elected County Recorder of Ne- vada county shall serve as Recorder for this county in quartz claims, authenticating his acts by the county seal ; he shall appoint as his deputy such person for Grass Valley as may be elected by the district of Grass Valley ; and be shall pass his records to his successor. Art. 8. The fees of the Recorder and Deputy shall be the same as the statute fees for recording per folio. Art. 9. No title toa claim hereafter taken up or pur- chased shall be valid, unless recorded in the books of the aforesaid County Recorder or deputy, within ten days of | its location or purchase.

Don Jore Castro, who also reeeived the office by vir- tue of being senior member of the Deputation, and held i the arrival of— 8. Chico, from Mexico, in 1836. The spirit of indepen- dence had now become somewhat strong in California, and the policy of the government in Mexico was very much disliked, At this time, says history, a system was adopted utterly destructive of State rights, and all the powers of government were placed in the hands of Con- gress and the Executive. This central system was 0 strenuously opposed in California that the people rose and expelled the Mexican officers, and declared the coun- try independent until the federal constitution should be restored. Chico, therefore, had command but a few months, and was ent away by the Territorial Deputa- tion. Previous to his departure he delivered over his power to 9. Gutierrez. On the 6th of November, 1836, the Cali- fornians, with a few Mexicans, revolted against him, and he was embarked with all his officers. 10, Joen B.

Tio Pico, being again senior member of the Junta Departmental, became Civil Governor, and so continued until the United States flag was hoisted in Monterey on the 7th day of July, 1646. From this it appears that California has of old been accustomed to act very much as she pleased. Four revolutions in twenty-four years come in pretty juick succession. And it appears that every one of the governors, under whose administration rebel- lions occurred, were sent here from Mexico, which paey indicates that foreign appointments have been long unpopular in this country.
