NYW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1856. ‘ H. Seward’s Speech at Albany —The, Veltled Prophet Showing his Face. We put upon the record of the HERALD, to- day, the speech delivered by our arch-agi‘cator, W. H. Seward, at the black republican ratifi- cation meeting the other evening at Albany; and that our readers may be assured of the genuine article, we copy it from Mr. Seward’s central orgam-—the Albany Evening Journal. Heretofore, though universally recognized as the head of the Northern disunionists, and though well understood to be driving at a dis- ruption of the Union, our wily Senator has studiew.ly avoided a frank and free disclosure of kis akominable principles and purposes.

The strongest prejudices among the masses The Case of the Americans in Japen—The Treaty Nullified Alreatly. We publish elsewhere an interesting corres- pondence between the Governor of Simoda, in Japan, several American citizens temporarily residing at that place, and Oommander Rodg- ers, of the United States surveying expedi- tion. Some months ago, the American vessel C. E. Foote salled from the Sandwich Islands for Simoda. After arriving there, she was chartered by a Russian Admiral to convey home the crew'of the Russian vessel Dwina, lately wrecked in that port. On this, H. H. Doty and two other Americans, with their families, landed from the C. E. Foote, and took up their abode at the Yokusheu Temple, one of the buildings set apart by the late treaty for the “temporary residence” of foreigners until hotels shall have been built. After re- maining there unmolested for several days, on the 23d April last they were notified by the Japanese authorities that they could not be allowed to reside there. Mr. Doty and his friends appealed to the treaty, but the Japa- nese refused to listen to his reasoning, and only granted as a favor that he should be suffered time,” in the hope of the return of the C.

We can’t exactly answer. The French, English and Russian advices from the Crimea are singolarly silent in reference to the women and children of Sebastopol. The resident popula- tion of the town four or five years ago, was fixed by Count Demidoff, in his valuable work on “Southern Russia and the Crimea,” at thirty thousand. We presume that in this aggregate there were the usual proportions of women and children. As late as the eighteenth of June Jast, when a part of the British storming party of the Redan got into the suburbs of the city, they found both women and children in some of the houses which they entered ; but since that day, with the tightening of the coils of the siege around the devoted city, and the in- creased havoc of the shot and shell of the Al- lies, it is probable that all the non-combatants of the place were removed by the Russians to |OKLEY'S BURLESQUE OPERA HOUSE, 559 Broad: waysBumuzsace Orera 4ND Nuguo Mrverneisy.

It is not likely that the women and children would be longer retained, when, from day to day, every inch of room in the town became more and more essential for the active defen- sive uses of the garrison. Nor have we seen any mention of women or children among the Russian killed and wounded left amid the ruins of the town. We must conclude, therefore, that except the attachés of the garrison and camp, all the non-combatants of Sebastopol had been previously removed into the interior of the Crimea, or perhaps even beyond the penin- sula, for safety, and on account of the neces- sities of the Russian army. Foote, after the expiration of which period he was to be shipped off on board the first ship which pasged that way. The Americans appeal- ed to Commander Rodgers, and that officer communicated with the Governor of Simoda, arguing that the clause of the treaty guaranteeing ‘temporary residence” to Americans in Japan would be violated if the Japanese expelled Doty and his companions. They replied that, according to their views, the “temporary residence” conceded by the treaty ought not to exceed a period of from “five to seven days, or at most a few months.” In fine, after a long discussion, the Americans were forced to leave, having incurred heavy losses on the goods they had taken with them, and seen their plans frustrated by this unex- pected decision of the Japanese government, The point at issue between them and the Emperor of Japan is very simple indeed. By the treaty of Kanagawa, article fifth, it was provided that “shipwrecked mariners and other citizensof the United States temporarily living at Simoda and Hakodadi shall not be subject to such restrictions and confinement as the Dutch and Chinese are in Naugasaki,” &c. This article has been interpreted in this coun- try as implying a permission to American citi- zens to “reside temporarily” at the places men- tioned; and the word “temporary” has been understood as covering any indefinite period of time. The Japanese, on the contrary, seem to have meant, when they spoke of temporary residence, that the Americans should be at liberty to land for the purpose of taking in coal, water or wood, and remain on shore long enough to perform these operations, but no longer. It is obvious that the former acceptation is the only one under which the treaty would poseess any real value to the commercial in- terests of the United States. It appears that ship storos--such as heavy chains, cordage, tar, sails, pork, beef, and most of the articles comprised in the term ship chandlery—are not to be bought in Japan. If American ves- sels are to trade thither, these commodities inuet be sent to Simoda and the other trading ports, and held there for sale; and hence there must be Americans residing there for a long consecutive period of time, to sell them. This is too clear for argument. The gentlemen whose mercantile schemes have been so unexpectedly foiled have re turn- ed to San Francisco in no good humor with the Japanese. They accuse them of wantonly violating a treaty which they made in bad faith. If any charge of the kind can be sub- stantiated, it will be well for the government not to let slip the opportunity to teaching the Japanese that the United States are not to be trifled with. At the same time, it is due to justice to say that the treaty is fairly suscepti- ble of the interpretation placed upon it by the Governor of Simoda. Reading it by the light of the histories of Japan, it would seem natural to construe it in the most restricted sense. We cannot take for granted that so exclusive a people conceded a hair’s breadth the more than appears openly on the face of the bond. If, therefore, it should appear that the recent difficulty is nothing more than a misunder- standing, and that the Japanese never intend- ed to allow Americans to open stores at Simo- da, the work lately achieved will have to be commenced anew. Another Japan expedition will need to be fitted out; and itis to be hoped that the duty of concluding a new treaty will be entrusted to some one who will not perform the work in eo slovenly a manner as to leave room for misunderstanding on so capital a point as the residence of commercial agents at the Japanese porte. The Russian government have just conclud- ed a treaty with Japan. On behalf of the government of Great Britain a treaty has been negotiated, and now awaitsratification. French agents have likewise opened negotiations, and are ina fair way to conclude a satisfactory treaty. Thus, through the bungling of the personage to whom this government entrusted the matter, instead of being the first, the United States will really be the fourth nation to commence an intercourse with Japan, Whatever is done, should be done quickly. If the Japanese have been guilty of wrong, they should be sharply held to account. It should be remembered that tenderness on a amall scale is certain to prove the worst kind | of inhuma nity on a large one, and that we had better have a brush with the Japanese now, than a war with them hereafter, when we have armed their armies with our pistols and rifles, ‘Thene never was a war, in all probabllity, so Know Norutya Victory i THe Back Dis, ticket being elected, and a majority of both has twice been elected Governor of the State, and can condole with his brother, who met the same fate in Pennsylvania.

Brenna Rerort.—We publish to-day a trans- lation of the biennial report recently present- of 1854; and as there is probably a large amount of etock owned in this country, we think it right to give the report in full. It seems that the profit of the enterprise, including the subventions received from the of twelve per cent per annum on the capital $51,457 has been placed to the reserve fund. The number of passengers travelling in the firet line—from Belem to the city of Barre, in the mouth of the Rio Negro—was in 1853, 691, producing a revenue of $18,111, and in 1854, 1,343, producing $29,601. The freights in the first period amounted to $12,575, and in the second, to $21,420. The business of the several other lines is not given in detail; and there seems to be some- thing rather suspicious in that fact, when taken in connection with this other one—that the re- port commences with an excuse for being pre- sented so late, and ends with another excuse for its dearth of details.

Some of the officers retired by the Naval Board have in- effectually complained to the President of the injustice of the action of the Board, especially as they exhibit letters from the Navy Department (previously received) attest- ing their capacity. They and their friends are making extensive preparations to operate on Congress, with a view to obtaining justice. ‘The attendance of Mr. Mason, our Minister at Paris, at the Te Deum, in celebration of the victory of the allies, is here as possessing no political significance, but is attributed to mere curiosity on his part.
