How Shall We Recefve the Japanese? A resolution has been introduced in the Board of Aldermea apropos to the reception of the Japancee Embassy, the members of which Ulustrious body will arrive in this city in the couree of the next fortnight. The Alder- men purpose to appropriate twenty or thirty thourand dollars for the expenses of the recep- tion of the Embasey. Upon this a long, and of couree lucid, debate ensued. We presume that it may be taken for granted that the money will be voted, and that the.civic authorities will do the handsome thing by the Japanese, 80 far as the civic authorities can be made to understand what the ha udeome thing is. We, in common with almost everybody out- aide of Corporation influences, regret excoed- ingly that the high officers of the Japanese ewpire are to be received on the part of the commercial metropolis by such a set of fellows as those who rule the roast in the City Hall. But there must be s reception, and necessarily en official one. Therefore we must make the best of a bad bargain, and try to have the thing done 2s well as possible. If the Alder- men do not vote the money, it cam be raised among the merchants in # couple of hours. The main question is, how shall we arrange the programme? The Japanese are intelligent tion to be laid before their master. It is to our profit in every way to make the most of our good points. The bad ones will speak for themselves, Ths Embassy, then, should be first provided wit competent and handsome quarters in the best’ part of the town. Their maintenance will mot’ be costly. The subor- dinates eat nothing but rice. The dignitaries live upon a little fowl, sweetmeats, cakes and cosfections. They drink omly tea, coffee and water. Great care should be taken in all these matters, which msy-seem trivial to us, but which to our guests: are of the first im- be to combine the practical and useful with the ornamental. Everything: of white we as Americans are proud, everything whiel-is dis- tinctively national, should be shown and ex- plained to the Embassy. As- the dignitaries are al) militury men, a receptiom by the State troops will be eminently proper.

Iscrpents oF. @rvitization.~-We published yesterday an ‘agount of an incident that oc- curred in one of: our public: institutions, which shows that, in, spite of our. boasted humanity and civilization, we are yet, in some things, but very kittle removed from. a semi-barbarous condition. The new bora imfant of a poor Irish woman, who bad been removed to the Bellevue Hospital to ba confined, was literally devoured by rats duriag the night—the mother being too weak to, drive off the vermis. It will be asked how such an occurrence could take place in an institution in which it is expected that care shall be taken to se- cure immunity against such visisations. How was it, moreover, that a womah in this state was Jeft wholly upcared for at a time whenher con- dition rendered her entirely helpless? The event reflecta the greatest discredit on the ser- vice of the hospital, and the Board of manage- ment ehould at once institute an investigation into the facts and punieh those to whose aegli gence it is owing. The institution fin question is not the only one in which the neglect of proper attendance to cleanliness and careful supervision hag led to accidents of this nature. About two months 8go ® poor mab was taken to the Jefferson of more than three weeks. What plausible excusejjean be urged by the Canal Commission- ers in defence of this difference in point of time? It is such inconsistencies of administra- tion that have nearly ruined one of the most important interests of the State, New Yorx’s Sane or tue Stave Tax —We perceive by the report of the State Assessors that the portion of the three and three quarter mill State tax imposed upon us by the late cor- rupt Legislatare which this metropolis will bave to pay amounts to the large sum of two mii- lions and seventy thousand dollars. This is ea tirely independent of the eight or uige milliva market tock-up and was found dead in the morning, half devoured by the same horrible vermin. Surely there are means of preventing occurrences of so appalling and disgraceful a character. We hear of no such accidents in private mansions or in abodes where a vigilant housewife bas the euperintendence. What a woman can do in the way of supervision a horpital steward or @ police subordinate ought to be competent to underiuke.

France claimed Savoy and Nice as a necessity. The people of Sardinia are clamorous for Venetia, in order to strengthen the new kingdom which they say has been weakened by their forced surrender of those provinces. They also cast longing eyes upom Naples, which, they think, would render their position still more secure, The excesses daily committed by the govern- ment of that unhappy kingdom promise to realize for them, without trouble, this desirable addition. It is impossible that the policy of repreesion pursued in the Two Sicilies can be carried on much longer. The King will either have to make the fullest concessions to his peo- ple, or he will be driven into oxile. The priests will prevent him from adopting the only alternative of safety left him and he will, therefore, soon find himself in com- pany with the banished dukes. Then will arise another very grave question for Euro- pean statesmen, and one which may lead to serious complications: Are the Neapolitans to be allowed to dispose of their own destinies, or are they again to be mads the victims of a diplomatic transfer which will leave them in very little better condition than before ? In the event of the expulsion of the Bour- bons, there is very little doubt of the disposi- tion which the people of Naples wl make of themselves. They will vote their aanexation to Sardinia, in the conviction that their incor- poration with that kingdom offers the enly se- curity in the future for their liberties: The populations of the Peninsula, united, could hold their own sgainst any single continental Power; whilat divided, a8 at present, titey must depend upon the strength of their ak liances for protection. The question is whether France wil¥ give her assent’ to the absorptica of Naples by Sardinia. It is’ to be feared that she will not. A branck of the present impericd dynasty has pretensioms tc’ the Neapolitan throne which Lonis Napoleon will not be slow in urging: when the opportunity’ presents itself, Austria would’ neo doubt prefer seeing those claims realized to ellowing Sardinia to profit What course will the other European Powers Process ov eae Newsrurer E rPrres Team.— The progress of the press in this country is the growéh of railroads and telegraphs.

Atthe other side of the Atlantic the same rule seems to obtain with regard to the Pope. Pius the Ninth has been writing a great many letters lately upon the Italian question ; but his last letter—the bull of major excommunication— appears to have had the eame fatal effect that the exerciee of the epistolary art produces upon our politicians—it has killed him off, We are told that it is looked upon in Europe asa very eilly affair, without force or effect.” Per- haps it would be wiser for the Pope to keep his bulls tied up in future, lest they should do more mischief. ExcitsMents o¢ 712 Day.—There are three or four excitementa on the tapis just now, which absorb all minor subjeets of interest. The first is the Charleston Convention; the second, the great international fight in Eogland; tbe third, the expected arrival of the Japazese Embasey, and the fourth, the advent of the Prince of Wales.

Mr. Eliot, of Massachusetts, thought the law unconstitutional because that instrument did me euthorize Congress to legislate for the return of fugitives among the enumerated powers. He contended that the intention of the framers wae that they should be revermed Vy State authority. Mr. Corwin, baving been a member of Fi!imore’s cabinet, which approved of the act of 1860, defended its constitutionality in a witty and ots Speech of nearly two hours duration. He ridtouled the idea that the same men who framed the constitution did not know what it meant, yet those same mem voted for the Fugitive Slave law of 1793. He should next ex- pect to hear men get up and express the belief that the Conatitution itself was unconstitutional. Mr. Eliot backed his opinion by quoting from Daniel Webster, and made a stropg point on the Ohio wit, which he only turned by the exercire of bis inimitabie humor. Mr. Corwin play- fully reminde’ Southern men that he was not « candi- date before the Charleston Convention, but that he was a ¢ telegate to Chicago, ‘The radical republicans do not exactly relish the mas- xs in which Mr. Corwin asgounces his opiatons as or- hey ke. mom 4nd Chicago ‘THE SARDINIAN MISSION, ‘Thet ‘committee on Foreign Affairs, having authortee ‘Mr. Bury ‘ngame to report a bill, which he has prepared, raising $a “dinia toa rst class migsion, he will embface the firstysp eortuntiy to do so. ‘THE CovODE CoMMITTER.
