There was much comment by foreigners and Japanese at the action of the American government in abandoning the expedition to Corea, This ac- tion, it is considered, is detrimental to our national honor and highly prejudicial to the mterests of tor- cigners, both in China and Japan.

There is a rumor that Corea has made an attack upon the Japanese Island of Tausima, lying between Nagasaki and Corea, 1t being claimed as Corean territory.

The supervising architect, after giving the result of hisexamination of the public build.ngs in Chi cago, Says:—"tin my last report J called acteniion to the fact that, although the entire space within the Custom House building at Chicago, tneluding the cellar, had been oceupied, it was stilt entirely in Actequate for he transaction of the public business, the postal business atone having increased eighty per cent during the past three years. The fire has been productive of @ still further increase, and it would now be tmpossible ace commodate that department in the building even were it desirable to attempt its recon struction, The increase of the customs business by reason of direct importacions of dutiable mer- chandise from foreign countries, under the provi- slons of the act of July 14, 1870, has been even greater, with every prospect that it will continue to rs to come. Under all these en Ciuistances L believe the necessities of the govera- ment require the purchase of the remainder of the block on which the Custom House building 14 located, and the erection thereon, without delay, of abuildiag of suierent capacity to atcommotate all branches of the government service im thst city, ‘The completion of the granite dock on the Battery in New York city renders a ceeision in regard to a few large Onice imperative, as it will be of little or no practical value to the Reveaue Department, for wiose use it was ortzinaily intended, until a Suitibie building is erected thereon, In this con. nection | again call attention to the importance of ariug the whole or a portion of the Battery asa te for the erection of a new Custom House, and other buildings for the use of the Revenue Depart- ment in that city.

The butlding now occupied is not only unsuitable for the examination aud appraisal of goods, or for their safety while im the custody of the government, but for the accommodation of its officers and the public. The enormous increase ta that branch of public ousmess van be weil illus- trated by a comparison of — receipts for the months of August and September — of the present year with the corresponding period in 1869 and 1870, which shows an increase during the present year of thirty and a ualt per cent, and unless some delinite aciion ts taken soon tue rent, which amounts at present to $68,825 per annum, must be increased and additional accommodations procured elsewhere, Lf the present system of reutiny ts continued for the next ten years the gov- ernment will pay more than the value of a suitable builaing and site, without even obtaining facilities for the transaction of its business or any adequate security for the gvods in its custody, believe that few expenditures are more ur gently demandea oy the necessities of the government than this, I also desire to call special attention to the great importance of providing similar stores at the ports ot Boston, Chicago, Cine cinnatt and St. Louis, all of which should be fire: proof, not only in name out in fact, which can- readily be accomplished in buildings of that char WINTER’S WARNINGS. The Effect of the Late Snow Storms and Inclement Weather Through- out the Country. Judging from the following reports, collected from various points in the States, it would seem that not only has stern winter cast its shadow over the land unprecedentediy early this year, covered up the great highways with lus coat of everlasting snow to the detriment of steam trave!, and filed up the canals and rivers with the great enemy of alt navigation, but the effect Is so sudden that the first preparations have scarcely been made to ameliorate this condition of things. Hence some of tne r: road cars are stopped and frozen wp in the tracks and canal boats are ice-bound midway on the canals. RAILROADS BLOCKED WITH SNOW.

He quotes tne appro priation of $100,000 for the fireproof Post Ofice, Court and Tuternal Revenue Building at Trenton, and remarks that alter full examination it was found that a suitable lot cowd not be obtained for less than $4,000, and as the appropriation ex. pressly stipulated that no expenduure should be Mude or authorized tor the fall complesion of the building beyond the sum of $100,000, aud as i was 80 maniiestly impossible to erect such a bullding as the act required for $55,000, the balance that would remain alter paying for (he site, no further action could be taken by the department, even the vilis for advertising being stopped by tie provisions of the act iiseif, and they are still unpaid.
