By special correspondence from Yokohama, Japan, | we have the following interesting mail report in @etall of cur telegraph letters, received by way of Sap Francisco, to the 27th of April. Native Soldiers Out of Empleyment—Yoke- hama Guarded by Foreign Troops—The New Perte—British Army Relief—The French Representation—Aa American Tea Quar- vel—United States Marines in the Distance— fhe War Ram Stonewall and Her Owner- ship—Steam Trade and Travel to America. YoxouaMa, Japan, April 27, 1868. When I last wrote you I informed you of some Probable changes that would perhaps take place in the Japanese government. So far no such change has occurred and everything is as before. Yoko- ama ts in posscasion of the forcigners, This action was taken owing to the large nnmber of yaconins— twe-sworded gentry—that came into the settlement when the army of the Tycoonate was dissolved, ‘These gentry, when they have no visible means of support, as they have not at present, are not very particular how they appropriate other’s property. Consequently the entrances to the city are guaraed by English, French, Prussian and American troops and marihes, and no two-sevorded man ts allowed in the setticment unless he has a pasa from the Governor ef Kanagawa. The Ministers and consuls have issued proclamations advising all foreignera not to leave ‘Yokohama during the hostilities. Jeddo, of course, has not been opened, and the pro- babilitics are that it will not befor some months, The opening of the port on the western coast has also ‘ween postponed, and people, say here that it would really be no great harm if it were never opened, it | being situated just ina spot where it was not want- ed. The position of Osaka is also very poorly lo- cated for the purposes of business. Its port, Hiogo, te situated twenty-two miles from it, and the resi- @ences have to be at Hiogo, while business is done at Qxaka. Some time ago the foreign residents were riven from Osaka; but the Europeans quietly fed some forces from their men-of-war and re- wok possession, ‘This authority was surrendered when a high oficer of the Mikado came to govern the peg ile gs ven every guarantee that the lives foreigners shall be respect "Ie Tnitabnte ree hg?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN BANKRUPTCY. - Decision by Judge Benedict. In the Matter of Kdward and Davia Bigelow and Nathan Kellogg,—This case was an application by the National Bank for an order directing the sale by the bank of certain stocks belonging to the bank- rupts, which the bank claims to hold as security for the indebtedness of the bankrupts to the bank. ‘The bank is a creditor of the bankrupts to the amonnt of ‘$51,880, and holds the: securities as pledges from them, ‘The value of those securities is uncertain, The as- Pore of the bankrupts declines to agree to the claim the bank, and the bank prays for an cad Ky sell those securities and SpPly ‘the deem the pledge Lismenkripa ad given. 8 Plication of the bank was strenuously apoteld by tl ee in bankruptcy, principally oa the und that the bank had taken no step to prove the debt, as required by law.

Kiley vs, The Steam Ferryboat tRaltie.—In this case the libel was fled in 1865 to recover com- pensation for damages sustained by the steamtug Pope Catlin in a collision with the ferryboat Baltic. ‘The collision occurred on a trip of the Baltic’ from Brooklyn to New York on the 2d of October of that year. The Pope Catlin, just after having towed a schooner to No, 1 pier on the East river, was struck by the Baltic and thereby dam: aged to a considerable extent. de- fence wus that’ the Pope Catlin had been some twelve feet in excess of her proj distance into the river at the ferry wi that the Bai. {ic entered her slip slowly and carefully with her en- the East twelve years, and therefore a little home * po ini not go amiss with them.

Th was refused; whereapop the cmtom house officials repaired on board and commenced taking the tea out of the ship.

The captain then called pr the United States steamer Oneida for pro- hoisting his ensign Union down, When the | Sapaness' Baw the it put of from the Oneida with armed men they left ina hurry. Captain Jones now de- mands through the Consul an apology and indemnity im the amount of $30,000. From wifferent sources ‘we receive different accounts of this matter. On one wide it is stated that the Japanese had heard en authority that the tea was being ora oe a view to defraud the government out of their %& duties. However that may be, they certain hea no right to board an cme ‘vessel in the way they and consequently demanding apn ample apology. But the question de- Se arises whether it would be consistent with ny, of the American goverment to demand the sum of money named for an action committed ce cae ee in ignorance of international law. 11 a ong ei General Frank, the Consul, will insist the apology, but will waive the money claim ane he can ‘joes from higher authority.

When arraigned on Monday last the prisoners pleaded not guilty, and when called up for trial esterday morning they prayed for leave to witli- draw the plea of not guilty and po guilty to the charge. ‘They were then removed. Another Case of Counterfeit Currency. The United States vs. George Meyers.—In this care the prisoner was indicted for an attempt to pass on John Barry a genuine note of national currency of the real value of $5 changed and altered to the apparent value of $20. Barry, on being sworn as the first witness, testified that he keeps a liquor store at 618 Broadway, and that in March last the prisoner came into his store, and having had some drink offered a note which had been changed from a five to a twenty dollar bill. A police oficer and other witnesses testified to the same effect. For the defence M. Bonnifar, a Frenchman, testified in French that he was presepi in a liquor store in Tenth street in March last when the prisoner changed a twenty dgilar bill by giving notes of lesser value to a man who came in and asked for the change of the bill, and he saw the bill in the hands of the prisoner after he had given the smatier notes in exchange for it, He did not know the man for whom the prisoner changed the twenty dollar bill, Counsel on either side summed up, the Judge charged and the jury,after ; an absence of ten minutes from court, rendered a verdict of guilty, the pr Messrs.

Dr. Starrs was celebrant on the oc- casion; Rev. Mr. McSweeney oficiated as deacon, Rev. Mr. McGean as sub-deacon and the Key. James Kearney as master of ceremonies.

A fuil chorus rendered the music of the mass in a most impressive manner, ‘The services were commenced at nine ip the fore- noon, but the cathedral was well filled prior to that hour. Not only were the usual numbers of the con- gregation present, but numbers of strangers, drawn peep? by curiosity to observe the manner of observ- we of Catholic forms in respect to the memory of the ae 1.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. The Brooklyn Whiskey Frauds—Sente: Callicott, Enright and AllenRemarks of the Before Judges Nelson and Benedict. Yesterday the United States Circuit Court room, on Montague street, Brooklyn, was crowded with eager, anxious and interested spectators in anticipation that the sentence of the court would be pronounced upon the three prisoners, Callicott, Enright and Allen, found guilty—the former separately and the two latter on a joint indictment—of having defrauded the government of a considerable amount of revenue through the tux on whiskey. The trials attracted great attention during their progress, the principat defendant—principal so far a oMcial position went—being the Collector of the district within which the frauds were committed, a bee his deputy-and Enright, a not blic, iy re to bonds for the removal of peer or bonded ware- standing of the parties, together wath t ey ‘omelal melal-posluouse rendered the trial, the verdict and finally the judgment of more than usual interest in the community, and hence the crowds that filled every part of the: ‘court room. yesterday. At twelve o'clock Judges Nelson and Benedict took their seats on the bench, the prisoners, Calli- Rei Age igen Enright, attended by their counsel, ‘The District "Attorney in the usual form moved for thd judgment of the court upon the prisoners. Judge Nelson, addressing counsel for Caiticott, re- ferring to a motion made to him for a new trial, said:—You spoke to me, Mr. Williams, in New Y ork, as to @ motion for a new trial in the case of Callicott. I then answered you that I had not made w my mind that there would be any necessity for sucit amotion, Your suggestion has led me to review the case, and we have quite made up our minds that it will be useless to co you on a motion forenew trial or arrest of judgment. Mr, Williains—1 did not intend to ask a motion for new trialon any error in the sia) but upon points which I raised on the first day as to the bonds. His Honor replied that it would be unwise to argue any point of law in the case, , Williams—After what your Honor has satd [ should not think it wise to take up the time of the court. Mr. Williamr and Mr. Jenks respectively addressed the court in mitigation of sentence on Callicott. On the concluston of their remarks Judge Nelson direct- ed the prisoner Callicott to stand up. ‘The prisoner uamed then stood up and confronted tht court. Judge Nelson said:—You have been indicted for being concerned with others in defrauding the gov- ernment out of tax on distilled spirits. Atter a long and patient trial before this conrt and a jury you have been convicted. Have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon your CALLICOTT’S REMARKS. Prisoner—So far as I might hope that anytiing I could say would affect the verdict of the court, | un- derstand this privilege ts an empty form; but | think it due to mee and the public to say on this sad ov- casion that in those transactions upon which I have been ed and tried I was entirely innocent of ilty intent to defrand the government. My conviction has been obtained by evidence of such a character that the public know how to estimate my character,and public) ent will pronounce its own Verdict, 1do ask lenve to say for myself that I left the office of the Third Cotiection district of New York a poorer man than when I entered it, and that during my term of office 1 received in behalf of the govern- ment $1,400,000, all of which was faithfully accounted for and the accounts relating thereto examined by the Vommissioner and found correct. With these remarks | leave myse!f to your Honor’s judgment. JUDUB NELSON’S ADDRESS TO THH PRISONER—THE CR, Judge Nelson—We do not doubt that your own reflections since the trial, on the verdict of the jury, have brought'to your mind moss if not all, the court would direct your sttention to on this occa- sion, Those reffections will have reminded you that you were appointed to a responsible office by the favor of the government and the aid of kind friends, and that you entered that office with opportunities of so administering its duties as to leave a lasting record both as a citizen and a public officer, You area naa of intelligence and education and experience in public office and, belongit a4 the a of the law, you were Les ig * ee he exact discharge of the duties of the om eminent opportunities have left you almost Sth oat excuse for the unkappy ending of your oMicin! ca- and greatly aid in the extinguishing of the charitable consideration which in the case of an of- fence like this the court ti otherwise feel. The crime of defrauding the revenue in this community has prevailed to an alarming extent. At the time of your appointment many oficers had been removed and some were waiting trial for frauds, and you had been chosen, in the midst of this demoralization, to re-establish oMicial authority in this branch of the government, it was in your power to doit. ‘The trie] and verdict show your lamentable failure, and that crime increased ‘during your adminisiration, and, according to the finding of the jury, with your encouragement. We are not indifferent to the con- siderations stated by counsel, but feel sensible of the desoiation which the verdict and sentence muat brig to your home, not 60 much from the extent of the punishment as from its. consequent disgrace. But the law is no respecter of persone; none so high as to be above ite power, or so humbie as to be be- neath it, It remains ouiy to pronounce the sentence. We must pronounce the full punishment under sec- tion thirty of the act of 1867, which we think may be considered moderate. It is a fine not exc $10,000 and imprisonment for two y bany Penitentiary, where you must von! ine is paid. THR CASP OF ENRIGHT AND A: R.
