Markets. San aan, June 15, re During the fortnight trade has been moderat active. © The pnt = interior consumption has continned steady, which has been met at figures v: ttle from those raling at the sailing of the leat steamer. Generaliy speaking, the market bas not exhibited the same degree of firmness evinced a fortnight since. Une cause bas been the arrival of five vessels from the At- lantic ports with assorted cargoes, much of which has been thrown on the market and sold ata slignt reduc- tion, rather than store the same. Accounts from the interior and coast gold regions con- tinue good, and heavy shipments of gold dust are oon- stantly coming down. ‘The reception of the news of the treaty of ‘‘Amity and Friendsbip"’ perfected by Commodore Perry between the United States and Japan, created considerable feeling in commercial circles, and attention is likely to be directed from this to that country. It is a matter of doubt tas to Thenatere of the trade which may «pring up Jetween the two countries in consequence o but the spirit evinced by Americana here clearly indi- cates that the matter will not remain long unknown. Preliminary shipments are understood to be on foot for the commencement of trade. The farming interests of the State are represented by the accounts from the different sections to be in a highly flourishing condition. The yield of wheat, oats and bar- ley . ix variously estimated at or about equal to the con- sumption for the next year. The market in thes¢ ar- ticles, in consequence of the large stock on hand, and the near approach of harvest, ix correspondingly heavy, and rates exbibit no marked ehangesince the last nmuil. In Chile flour a combination of parcels, making a large aggregate, has been formed, which advanced the prive of outside lots to about $9 per full sack of 200 lbs. The combination are holding above that figure. An attempt was made to perfect a combination among the holders of | barrelled flour, which resulted in @ failure, leaving the market for Gallego and Haxall at about the same as per last mail. A shipment of some 15,000 full sacke of Chile flour is reported about going forward to Australia, in conse- quence of the depressed condition of the flour market. A speculation in sugars bas been carried out which re- sulted in the purchase of all the finest grades of raw sugars, which have aavanced considerably. A sale of No. 1 China has been made at 1034¢. In provisions the market remains about the same for stocks in store, parcela having sold from late arrivals at reduced 8. Dry goods of all descriptions are dull sale, rates show- ing no change for the better. Boots and shoes remain without change. Lumber of all kinds is abundant, showing no change. Fine segars continue sgarce, figures continuing about the same. Hardware of all kinds is in abundance at last quotations. ‘A good demand exists for agricultural implements, prices in some articles indicating s slight improvement. Domestic liquors have attracted some attention, and sales made to a considerable extent in whiskey. English malt liquors in bottlee are more abundant, and rales mo- derate at about previous quotations. HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM JAPAN. ARRIVAL OF THE TREATY. {TS STIPULATIONS AND ADVANTAGES.

As it is probable the steamer Susquehanna will leave in a short time for Hong Kong, I will now falfl my promite, and give you an account of all that has transpired since leaving Loo Choo, from whieh place I wrote you last, via Shanghae. ‘The steamers left Naipa harbor on the morning of the ‘7th, takinga northerly course. About noon we met the Saratogs, from Shanghae, bound for Nalpa to join the Commodore. When close enough, to use a sailor phrase, all four vessels hove te. After communicating with, and ordering her to make the best of her way to Jeddo we proceeded on our course again. We passed ® large number of islands; also saw a great many whales. About 10 A. M. on Saturday, the 11th, we made the island of Nyphon. There was a very heavy head- wind blowing at the time, which prevented us from reaching the land before dark, and compelled us to lay off and on all night. At day break all three of the steamers entered an opening in the land. While pro. ceeding up a bay at a rapid rate, two vessels wore dis- covered off our starboard beam. We immediately steered for them, and when near enough, we discovered them to be the Vandalia and Macedonian; the latter was hard and fast ashore. The Mississippi gave her a hawser and towed her off, when all the vessels were anchored for the night, during which we were joined by the store ship Lexington. On the following morning we all got under weigh, each steamer towing a sailing ship. About midiay we came to anchor six miles above the town of Uraga, where we found the storeship Southampton. The fiag ship was immediately boarded by a party of Japanese officers, who endeavored to induce the Commodore to return to Uraga, stating that a house had been erected for the occasion, &c.; but he refused to comply with their request, stating that the interview tanast take place at Jeddo, or some place between it and the present anchorage. We were visited daily by them | for the purpose of inducing us to accede to their wishes; but it was no use, for the Commodore had determined that they should conform to his wishes: but to humor them a little, he consented to send his fleet captain down to Urags in the Vandalia, to have a chit-chat with a third rate mandarin relative to the time and place for the grand interview between the great American and Japan- 660 Moguls, to take place. The wind being unfavorable at the the, seme five or six days were occupied in the business, daring which all the abips got under weigh, and proceeded fourteen milas farther up the bay, towards Jeddo, When the Vandalia returned, we received the pleasing intelligence that, although it had been the custom of the country for cen. turies to decline all intercourse with {preigners except the Dutch, and. with them on s very limited scale, they had by ® deeree of the Inner Council, as Mey termed it, ecncluded te open eemmerce with the ‘Uni- versal Yankee Nation,”’ but they still wanted us to re- turn to Uraga; but as scon as our removal further up had been discovered by them, we were again bearded, when, fearing that we would proceed at once to Jeddo, before any arrangements had been made, they proposed to make arrangements at once, ata place opposite to where we were lying, and known as Yokahams. On the lst of Mareh Commander Franklin Buchanso gave a dinner toa party of Japanese officials on board | the steamer Susquehanna. There were, also, several of the officers of the squadron present, including the in- terpreter to the expedition. The dinner was of a sump- tuous character, and well ny with superior cham- pagne and other wines, of which the Japanese are pas- sionately fond.

Tae | railroad is of circular form, 116 feet in diameter; the telegraph is to connect Yokahama with Konagawa—a distance of five miles. The length of wire sent out is but four miles, but the Japanese have promised to fur- nish the other mile. Talmost forgot to mention that the first American bu- rial in Japan took place on the 9th inst.; the deceased’s name was Robt. Williams, a private of marines on board | the Missivsippt. Fuipay 11th—At noon, to-day, the Commodore, visited the shore and had a second audience with the Japanese Commissioners. They had proposed by | letter a day or two previous to give us one port to be | Opened within # year, and to give us another at the ex- | piration of five years, stating at the same time that we could have the use of Nagasaki until they could prepare the first one for us; from which the Commodore natu- | rally inferred, thut they intended to make such arrange- | ments as would preclude any intercourse with the inhab- | tants, except through the medium of a ‘mment officer, or in other words, to coop us up in the same man- ner that they do'the Dutch in Nagasaki, but the Commo- dore soon astonished their weak nerves, by informing them that we must have three ports, at least, viz: one north, one south, and a central one, all of which must be opened within a reasonable time ; slo, that the Ameri- cans would not submit to any such restrictions as the Dutch are subjected to, and that any proposition of the kind would be considered as a national insult, for the consideration of which he gave them six ri ee the expiration of which time another meeting will take Poe the morning of Sunday, the 19th, the storeshi Supply acrived from Shanghae, bringing us letters an papers. To-morrow the Vandalia and Southampton pro- ceed down the coast, to Shimada, to examine its suita- bleness for shipping, snd as one of the porta to be opened to our commerce. The locomotive has been in operation, and a number of ese have been 7 itaround its course, much to their astonish- ment and delight. It is a part of the Japanese education never to betray any signs of surprise of ‘anything new or range, 'y presence the powers of the “iron horse’’ such an extent that could not conoeal it. On the morning of the 24th, the Commodore visited the shore, to receive the presents from the Emperor of cinity of the Japanese , and a retinue numbering twenty- eight persons dined with the Commodore on board the Powhatan. The ship was housed over with awnings, and dressed inside with Tage, Tables capable of ses! hu ndred perrons, were arranged on quarter for the accommodation of the retinue and invited guests from the squadron, while the Cemmissioners were to dine in the cabin with’ the Commodore. The day was fine, and ain aes ceea ie most beautiful style, with vases of flowers, and edibles of the first qui ity and preparation. The labor and skill of a first-rate Pari: cook was visible upon every dish. In fact, the whole arrangement was ual to any Astor House display that have ever seen. Hlgnore of every kind were as plenty as the water along side, and of good quality. The business for which we had come so many thousand miles to ar was not yot completed, it being a notorious fact it a good din- ner, well su; with most good liquors, geperally exerts a fal and favorable influence upon all national negotiations, as well asin others of less importance, it therefore became necessary to put the best foot foremost, which was done on this occasion, and apparently with mauch success.

Those officers who are the most remote from head- quarters, are the ones upon whose judgme: reliance can be placed, and are the who contemplate most seriously all mutvers connected with their profes- sion, and who, in constant contact with the practical service, discover with most truth its faulte and its virtues. The following conolusion is, thea, arrived at: ‘That while the sutnoritios at W: F gaged wordy reformation, the mea and officers Upon foreign stations are forgotten and ied; the best systems are lost sight of, and one would suppose that the futare never entered into the heads of theve ref< 5 One system, and evidently the sure and safe one for our country, suggests i to me by the departure of the Saratogs. proper policy for the nation is to secure the Pacific Ocean intact from European influeace. ‘That vast ocean, with its precious islands, iv ours by in- heritance. All beyond America, until we infringe ypon the shores of Asis, should come by natural right under its protection, Our explorations, the sonstant occupa- tion by our whalers, the preponderance of our com- meree, our. neighborhood, and the wants and future greatness of California upon the Pacific, assert this prin- ciple, and place us alone and. untrammelled in this quarter of the world. Russia alone hay the faintest shadow of rivalship, but her interest and footsteps are directed to Europe. The security of this policy, on oar part, can only be obtained by having upon the shores of the Pacific vast naval arsenals, with a complete fleot of war ships belo solely to that section. This furce should at all times be in readiness for arming, equip- ment, and despatch across the ocean. It suould be under the command of an officer of high rank, known talents and capacities. Such a fleet would he the nucleus round which more distant forces coull be concentrated, for the slow process of equiping sbips, with the difficulty of obtaining mea, which will always present itself in the face of a prosperous Atlantic com- merce, will cause long and di ) Solar to throwing vessels into the Pacific. But ships once nging to that division, kept, built and repsired in California, can al- wavs be readily manned, providing the term of enlist. ment ia not too long. I advocate, then, that the ships that are now in China and the Pacific, should be laid up and paid off in Califor- nia, and the officers and men who belonged to the Eastern States be allowed the amount of passage money to their homes. It will be safe to say that two-fifths of the crews would remain in California, and that many of the efficers would settle and become residents; thus, at all times, a sufficient number of well trained ‘‘men of- wars-men’’ could be picked up, and resident officers would be on hand to attend to the duties of fitting, and ensure the putting to sea of any clags of ships or steamers upon ap emergency. We want short enlist- mente—active but short cruises—a California navy to reserve the Western coast, to keep the islands free ‘om foreign influence, .and, lastly, to 0 Japan and promote the present friendly ings inhabitants. Make, a depot at San Francisco, with its ships, stores, officers and men, independent ot the Eastern navy yarda and political influence. The commander-in chief would under no circumstances be so far removed from communication with the central gov- ernment as commodores commanding all our fi stations now are. instructions could at all timos under despatch and receipt.
