Yoxouama, Japan, March 12, 1868, Report has it thatthe Tycoon Stotshashi is said to have fully acquainted himself with the position of the southern daimios by means of his spics, and @atisfed that with the backing of the English and American ministers they are too strong for him for the present, has retired into the priesthood, where, ‘by the laws of the country, his life and liberty are safe. That he has resigned his temporal power to Kishiu, one of the three great heads of the daimlos | of the north, and that he will resume sway when- ever the jealonsies now disintegrating the southern ‘coalition hostile to him shall have rendered opposi- tion feasible. ‘This I do not believe on several ac- oounts, the chief of which is that the step was re- ported two days ago and still we are at Yokohama ‘ander the Tycoon’s officers, guarded by his troops at every outlet against hostilities and paying custom @uties to his Custom Honse officials, If it is so his itaph may be written, ‘died of foreign ministerial ap jomacy.” f my last an unfortunate affray was spoken of as ving originated at Hiogo from the reckless con- Be of two French marines, who persisted In cross- the head of a Japanese column, which ts known to evéry one in Japan—newly arrived or old settier— to be & deadly insult, The upshot was that the Japanese soldiers (retainers of Prince Bizen) fired a volley and wounded three people—one an American sailor. ‘The column was commanded by a Karoo of Bizen’s, ‘who, as jar as Known, was not directly to blame for the conduct of his incensed soidicry, However, Sir Harry Parkes, the British Ambassador, a headstrong, violent Briton, knighted because the Chinese failed once tt him after some trouble he created a3 an attaché to the British Legation, followed by the United States representative, iusisted on reparation and the new faction to whom they liave transferred ‘their credentials, probably to curry favor, procured an order from the boy Mikado (Binperor) for thus blood- thirstiness to be quenched, At past ten o'clock on the evening of March 2 the salisfavtion was made. Gathered at a temple in Hiogo, whose stleuce awed all but the victim, stood a body of Europeans and Americans—a few drawn by morbid curiosity and a few more representing tie foreign ministers, and near them a small body of Japancse oitictals and guards, The unfortunate Karco marched in and seating himself on the pavement of the tempie in an opan space, commenced a droning, monotonous recita- thon ina low, farting, voice. A trusty body servant of this oflccr notselossiy approached behind him, with the long, keen edged, two banded sword of Japan, and waited until the chant was finished, and then, after the Karoo had performed “hart kar)” by ripping opgp his belly with his knife, smote hus head off. by this latter step the family of the oor suicide are not degraded nor his pacers con- Hecated, as he fulfilled the command and his servant only “put him out of his misery,” and as the bloody, disemboweled, headless trunk Jel! forward on the pavement, on which the death scorning Karoo had kat, the Christians, satistied for the wounding of three len by ab excited and mMsulted soldiery, under the command of the victim, went out, leaving the friends of the dead Karoo to bury him.

Had our Minister in our own country delegated e oficial to be present at suicide he would ave accounted for the crime before tweive of his ere. Here, armed with “extra territorial” powers, Jaws of civilization and Christianity are all set at deflance. The defence is ‘the Japanese laws.” Away with ach laws whence they originated say all men not linded by diplomacy. Can the laws of Japan super- pede the laws of bemneonp in governing the actions of ministers representing Christian communities It is useless now, with that maimed corpse buried, to Speak. of the evil policy of this rigorous deman for blood; uselesss to test the justico of it by sup- posing the offence to have been coinmitted by a for- ee i. a Japanese.

Mr. Tilman exiubited the fossil bone of a whale measuring two and a half feet in circumfer- ence, found lying in the bed of tie Tar river, North Carolina, at a point a few ities south of Enfield, ‘The specimen was presented to the American Institute by the Rev, RK.

The sub- ject of the underground railway for this city was next introduced, Dr. Brad) Proposed its con- struction through a tunnel directly from the South ferry upon a straight line to Liarlem Bridge. His conrse would be between Fourth and Lexington avenues, the whole route being east of Broadway, the tracks being eight feet wide and laid di enough to be under all cellars or anything that might interfere with its excavation. He objected to steam or smoke Of any kind, as being entirely out of the question in @ tunnel. He considered that the cars should be run with wire ropes or propelled by compressed air, The proposition did not ap- Pear to be favorably received by the audience, ‘Who occasionally iy very derisive and Iudicrous questions, especially when it was suggested that the undertaking could be satisfactorily completed within six months. Mr, Gardner gave @ lei ened table of statistics showing the tmcreasing ulation of the city and consequent requirements of trans portation, He contended that the proposed under- en railroad should be made through any other han the old channels of business, because its con- struction in any other quarter would necessari|: damage the busineas of those localities which long been established as the chief emporiums of com- merce in the city. oe he subinitted, was the only route for the railway. ‘The first important con- sideration in the undertaking was proper ventilation, Witich was almost an impossibility ina tunnel He alluded to the Thames tunnel as an tilustration of his ideas on the subject, and conciuded by referring the audience to the plan known as the Arcade Railway. The further consideration of the subject was ad- journed till next meeting. THE PIANO MAKERS’ STRIKE. Messrs.
