The Empresas Dowager (the Re- went) has issued proclamations, calling upon the Court astrologers to choose an auspicious day for ‘his great event. THE PROCLAMATION beads as follows:— His Majesty the Emperor was called to occupy the throne while yet a onild, and at a time when the affairs of the Empire were in @ very critical ‘wondition; and it indispensable that the Princes and Ministers. ia bring the affairs of ‘the State before the throne, we, the Empresses, yielded to the solicitations of the Court isters and assumed the cy, at the same time notify- ang that when his Majesty came of age the reins of ernment would be handed over to him. For last eleven years we have, early and late, with much fear and trembling, earnestly striven to dis- charge the duties thus imposed on us, Ma- Jesty the Emperor, however, having now come of age, itis right that he should assume the reins of vernment, and with the assistance of his Minis- Court and provincial, control the affairs of the km ire, and thus discharge the sacred trust Randed, down to him by his late Majesty (Hien- feng). The Astronomical Board is therefore ordered to select a propitious day in the first moon of next ear. on which Hig Malssey me formally ascend the one (or assume control). The ceremonies and rites to be observed on the occasion must be settied by the Grand Council, Grand Secretaries and Roard officials, and reported to the throne. Bespect this. A NEW ERA IN DIPLOMACY. ‘We may, therefore, conclude that some time mext Febrnary, the regency will cease and the ‘Emperor will ascend the throne. As soon as this weoure the diferent foreign representatives will Mave a little work to do, for the audience question fs to be raised, and I have been given to under- stand that both France and Ruasia, at least, will fmaist upon the concession of the right of audience made by the. Chinese, Undouotedly there ‘will be considerable opposition to overcome beiore this con: ion wil be made, but I am inclined to Believe that if the so-called “combination policy” ts adhered to China will ultimately have to give way. SYRE PLAG THAT BRAVED A THOUSAND YEARS, Jp the ist of the present month a new imperial ‘maval flag adopted by the Chinese government, ‘which fact has been notified to all Ohinese officials gad foreign Ministers.

It is to be borne ‘by all nese war vessels and the object of the change is to make the Nags carried by waen-ol-war uniform, Hitherto war vessels have carried the flag of the province to which they belong, and Sa the Chinese navy had about a dozen diferent ensigns. This is hence- forth to be done away with and the navy is to be eentralized not only in appearance but in reality. JAPAN. Whe Grand Duke Alexis’?

No great stone-built city of that age—000 B. G., or thereabouts—could have se com- pletely vanished from the face of the earth that the early Greek historians could not find amy trace of it, or of the especial people called Trojans. They spoke of a town on that site; but Strabo says it wasone that had been built by the Molian Greeks, about 600 B. ©. It is probable Dr. Schlie- mann has found some traces of that; but he should not nave spoken so confidently of the Homeric city. He might have remembered the crowd:-of critics who have refuted or disputed those old Classic ideas and beliefs. Jacob Bryant—one who had less faith in the Homeric story than his name- sake, the best Homeric translator of our time— shows that Troy was the dream of a poet or of many poets; and Gilbert Wakefield and others have followed on the same side. So that while praising the enthusiasm of Dr. Schliemann, any one ay oad that he lessens his own merit by try- ing to show that his walls and other remnants on that site belonged to the city of Priam and Hec- tor. No doubt it was, and will be still, rather discon. certing to be told that there was no such Tro; the Homeric bards described. 1t was so to Lord Byron, who said I stood upon Achilles’ tomb And heard Troy doubted ; time will doubt of Rome— this last hemistich being a non sequitur and mere poetry. But the “wind-swept Ilium” was really no More than Carleon-upon-Usk, or the Ceylonese or the Bern of the Nifun; ‘The name was one of the names of that ancient thing, the ‘‘cave- temple,” which Moses, the Magi, the Druids and all the other civilixers tried to slur over and smother under new narratives of vérsions ot 8.

But the civilizera, as I have said, did not like it, and they made a variety of popular stories in prose and verse to obliterate the strong instinctive le- gends and formulas of the early races. To make a long story short, I would say that “the tale of Troy divine’ was originally meant for such & purpose, for the benefit of the ‘base Phrygian Turk.” ‘The monk Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote his history of the Breton, to the same end. The word ur has in it the term Troy, and actually means “‘cave-temple” in Celtic speech. So Arthur was tobe remembered by those obstinate Welsh ess a ing else. ing's wife, meant reciasirs game divagreeable thing—“‘cave-temple.’? All the legends of men are full of these double meanings.

A shrewd Frenchman would see init -his own word achurch. Dr. Schieimann thinks Iii connection with helios, the sun. But I tancy he falls into the old mistake of Bryant, Vallancey and so many others, who believed in sun-worship—a false gloss fe oat the terminology of the rude old naturalists of antiquity whose notions were far nearer the ground, and therefore very hard to over- throw, Our re! ancestors never troubled their heads much about the sun or the moon either, but gave all their attention to themselves and their own affairs. Jn their days, also, ‘the proper study of mankind was man.’’ But why did the old Hee {ns the scene of their ¢popée at the gate oj the Hellespont? Because dar. or dere meant strait—as it still does on that ground—as well as “cave temple.” It is the first syllable of Dardanelles. The term Troad meant “narrow ,"’ a8 it still does in the Celtic speech. [t is the narrow passage froma man’s lungs to hii ite. The history as wellas the poetry 0: the early tribes of men is largely founded on the double meanings of language, which were found very convenient when the reformers of na- P= wished to change the order of the world’s leas, But while I freely express my opinions in this way on such a debatable subject, | must still ad- mire the energy o1 the learned and cosmopolite Dr. Schliemann, and I hope some of those rich peo- le who love the science of literature will! help nim ‘0 go on with his excavations. Even if he cannot find the “black bow!" or tankard of Priam, or the hand mirror “that sparkled for Helen,” or discover the Scean sally port of Hector, he will be sure to unearth something nearly as good in the rubbish of those Phrygians who, {n the ages succeeding the period of the poetic Troy, set pp. their dwellings on the hill ridges overlooxing the level of the Troad. BROOKLYN, Ww. D, A Sceptic on Schifemann’s Discoveries= A Believer in Homer’s Story. To THB Eprror OF THE HERALD:— Referring to the letter from Dr. Schliemann, de- scribing bis researches and discoveries at the site of Novum Ilium, published in your issue of the 2ist inst., it may be well to point owt the manifest error of Dr. Schliemann and others before him in taking this site tobe that of the ancient and Homeric Dium, This theory was refated by Demetrius of Scepsis, who is quoted by Strabo in his descriptien of the Troad. The main-‘and insuperable objection to it is the distance of Novum Ilium trom the shore of the Hellespont. The distance at the present day ts about two and @ hajf miles; but Strabo mentions (Book xill.) thut the aliavium brought down by the Scamander bad extended from the Trojan war to his time over s distance of six stadia—nearly three- quarters of @ mile, Deducing, therefore, from these data the rate of increase of the alluvial de- posit, we shall not be far wrong in supposing an increase from the Trojan war to the present day of % miles, ‘What is now the lower part of the Trojan Pisin was, therefore, at the time of the Trojap war a bay. If then, from the present coast line we meas- ure inland this distance of one and seventh-eighths miles, we shalb be brought to the ancient shore line, the nead of the bay, upon which the Greeks dragged up their ships and formed their camp. ‘The average of the estimates made by ancient writers of the number of the Greek army is 110,000, and Homer tells us that the number o¢ ships was 1,186. The ships, he says, were drawn up ‘in rows, one behind the other, and filled the wide mouth of the entire shore as much as the Promontories enclosed.” Such was the width of the camp; its depth—that is to say, the distance from the shore to the defensive wall erected by the Greeks before their ships—cannot have been less five-eighths ofa mile. Adding this distance to the alluvial increase we shall arrive at a point two and @ half miles from the present coast line; but we have already seen that this is the distance of Novum Itium from the shore; therefore the Greek defensive wall was close up against thé walls of the city they were besieging—a reducito ada ab- im. We know there was a consilerable stretch of Plain (actually about six rage, Heal) the hostile camp and the hesieged city, which was the battle- field of the heroes. Im this piain were fought the four separate igcnes battles described in the liiad—batties of extensive manceavres and of alter- nate advance and retreat, in which chariots took a conspicuous part. Hector, wounded by Ajax in the third battie, is perried back to the ford of the Scamander, midway between Troy and the cam) io his chariot. Prigm makes the journey from the city to the camp to beg the body Of hie son im his chariot, and stops on road to water his horses and mujes in the river. Again, at the end of the second battle, the victorious is do not retire Winnyver, the at nightfall to the city, but encamp in the plain be- (ween the ships and the river, Bat it ia nbeteea isin be- multiply the proofs of a wide ig of ty tween the Grecian id and the most rn pi Of the Hiad would at omce recog: e The reason adduced seems to me pre spite suf- ficient to explode the theory of Dr, femann without bringing forward many others simost as cogent. Among them, however, may ve mentioned the identification beyond all doubt of the remark- able springs of Bounarbaschi with the hot and cold “fountains of Scamander” so often mentioned in the Iiad, These springs are four miles from the aite of Novum Ilium, and yet we know that Hector Was slain by Achilles close to them and beneati. ‘1e Walia of the city.

The Present Aspect of Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Navy Yard at this time presents unusual activity by comparison with the past sixty days of absolute quietness; indeed, it is not over thirty days since some of the witty discharged workmen placarded it “For sale.’ The fact is it hasbeen nearly glosed (as to the amount of work performed), and the feeling conveyed to one visit- ing it has been that of nothing to do and plenty of time in which to do it, or all “bosses” and no work- men, but within the past ten days things have been enlivened up. Orders from Washington being re- ceived to get ready immediately the storeships Supply and Guard, the Department of Construc- tion was stirred Ls? to activity, and caulkers and painters enjoy, atleast, the hope of employment for two weeks or longer. The juipment Depart- ment also received a pleasaa vanic shock of something to do, and the riggers and sailmakers have been again graninred, thus causing great popes. and expectations jt they may be able to = thro! @ portion of the hard ter before hem, not be idle at. the very time when work ig_most le. The storeship Guard will be ready by January 1878, and ihe stores Bum ly by January 26, former is the Ii at storeship in Navy, being 925 tons, and isin good condition for the service intended. The Supply is third in size on the storeship list, being only 547 tons. The crews of these two vessels are being collected on board the United States recruiting ship Vermont, and will all be ready before the vessels are. Already the officers are being ordered, and, I am told, the applications for duty on these vessels far exceed the requirements, Perhaps the secret is the popularity of the station these vessels are Roing. to, also the shortness of the cruise or trip. ‘Ho’ for the blue baleies of the Mediterranean! Who wouldn’t like go After remarking the activity above stated, it is evident to the casual observer that. the other por- tion of the Navy Yard is AC uiet. The United States sloop-of-war Portsmouth, Commander Sker- ritt, has left the Navy Yard and gone to the anchors age off the Battery, where, after taking in powder, she wil proceed to the See itetow in the Lower Bay, and after adjusting her compasses pened upon her voyage to the Pacific, via Rio janeiro and Cape Horn.

The form, beauty and beter ofthe torpedo boat is now api rent, and with the torpedo ee pliance she will prove an customer. By tening attentively when near her one hears varied commentaries upon the intended mode of propul- sion, which is by Fowler’s wheel or propeliee, and I should judge there were many. grave doubts of it a8 a success. Now it seems a great pity a formida. ble vessel like this should be built at great ex- pense and a doubtful mode of propuision enter- tained, and should she prove a jure whoever is nespomeane should be held strictly to account.

The news, ‘which reached us from San Francisco last night by telegraph, dees mot state the nature of his iliness or the cireumstances which attended his demise. ‘The event ts an important one, notwithstanding, as ite ocearrence creates an insular interregnum, the King not having named his successor as he was required by the constitution to do, during ‘which the peeple will be supreme.

SKETCH OF HIS MAJESTY’S pare Aap GOVERNMENTAL POLICY. King Kamehameha V, (pronounced Ka-mata- maia) succeeded his brother, the late King and Moreen er ‘Queen Emma, of the Sandwich iefands, on November 30, 1868, being then thirty-one years old. Since his’ anoeralon He has exhibited con- siderable ability, ju ent and firmness, One of the first acts of his r was to refuse to take the ath to the existing copstitution, and by a tah coup d’ état to give his subjects a new constitution in place of the democratic one established by bis uncle, Kamehameha Ill., under the influence of the American missionaries, in 1852. The history of the revolution in the politics of the Sandwich Islands thus brought about uncer British influence 1s ver; interesting. By the articles of the consti- tution given to the people in 1852 by Kame- hameha II]. it was incumbent on the succei sor to the vacant throne to take an oath tl he would maintain the constitution of the kingdom whole and inviolate, and would govern in conform- ity therewith. Up to the year 1839 the Hawaiian lands were governed by ai absolute monarch and ‘upoe strictly feudal peinelninn. In that year the efforta of the Amer! missionaries, who had given much vseiul assistance in BF dap l the country, worked so far on the patriotic , Ka mehameha IIl., as to induce him to sign a of Rights, and the following year to grant a constitu. tion, by which absolute rule was yielded up and irresponsible power exchanged for government by the three estates of king, nobles and people. In 1850 the King, influences his British nds, recommended a new constitution less democratic in ite features. It was (oe in 1862 and signed by the who died two years afterward, At a later period Mr. Wyllie, a Scotch gentle- man connected with the govern! it corresponded with Sir John Bowring concerning further altera- tions, The opening sentence of tne Declaration of Rights, borrowed from its American rototype, f nounced that ‘‘No person who imports a slave or slaves into the King's dominions shall ever enjoy any civil or political rights in this realm.” Article 19 prescribed, ‘‘All elections of the people shall be by ballot,” and article 78 established manhood su . Kamehameha V., who came to the throne in November, 1863, wished to get rid, by means of @ national vote, of universal auffrage, and to replace it by a qualification based on In- come and property. Ee refused to take the oath Prescribed by the constitution, and called a convention to alter the provisions of this latter instrument. The conflict in the Con- vention was spirited and sharp. There was much wrangling and not a little abuse. On the part of the representatives there was determined opposition to the King’s design. On the 13th of ust the mane patience had broken down. % is the fifth day of the discussion of this arti- cle,” said His Majesty. “Iam very sorry that we do not agree on this important point, It is clear to me that if universai aarege is permitted this gov- ernment will soon lose is monarchical character. Thank yon. delegates and nobles, for the readiness with which you have come to this Convention, in accordance with my proclamation. As we do not agree, it is useless to prolong the session. And as at the time His jeaty Kamehameha III. gave the constitution of the year 1852 he reserved to himself the power of taking it away if it was not for the interest of his government and peo- ple; and as itis clear to me that that King leit the revision of the constitution to my predecessor and myself, therefore, asIsit in his seat, on the part of the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Islands, I make known to-day that the constitution of 1852 is abrogated. I will give you a constitution.” His jesty requested ministers to remain at present in their respective positions, in order to avoid con- fusion and disturbance, and he then dissolved the Convention. On the 20th pt ango @ week after the breaking up of the Convention, the promised new constitution appeared. It omits the obnox- ious axiom about ‘‘iree and equal,’’ gives the King alarger place in the State, makes Cabinet min- faters more responsible, excludes the ballot, pre- scribes as the minimum Spnliece ron of @ repre- sentative real estate of $600 value and annual io- come of $250, and of an elector property of $150, or oy your rent on leasehold property and $75 yearly income, together with certain intellectual acquirements.

Soon after his return it is ex- pected that the Colorado will sail for Ss and we will see the last of that noble old ship in these waters. The gatlant crew of the Ad- miral’s pans the Daring, won the champion- stip of the Asiatic station soon after her arrival at Singapore in August, 1870, in a well con- testea race with the Delaware's boat, which heid it at the time.

"There is every ee now that this gallant crew will re- tain it tothe end of their cruise, and when the homeward bound pennant shali stream from the masthead of the Colorado, and the glad shouts of the jolly tars shall resound from her rigging in response to the cheers of their comrades on the other ships, these well earned laurels of victory will be still encircling their brows, The health .of officers and crew on all the shi of the fleet is fully a8 good asthe average at the date of this writing.

About one o’ciock in the day the people in the neighborhood saw something in the shape of a haycock and of great size revolving through the air, It was accompanied by firo and a great deal of smoke, and sometimes was seen high in the air and at others near the ground, It made a great nedae, something like @ railway train travelling, and progressed with great rapidity. It passe over the estates of Colonel North, M. P., Sir William Brown, Bart. and Mr, Lesile Melville Cartwright, @ixty-ome yards of whose park wall at one place has been thrown down from the founda- tion, It tore up ope of the largest beech trees on Sir William Brown's estate, and about twelve to filreen tons of earth with it, and the branches were carried about in all direc- tions. Aman named Adams, who was breaking stones on the road, says he heard a great noise, as if a railway train were coming up. There was a dense smoke, and a tree that he had been standing under 8 minute before was torn up. There waa heavy rain at the time and a few minutes before vivid flash of lightning, h pl on, and it seems to have travelled al- most in a straight line from south to north. It was followed by a Whirlwind that swept every- thing before it, and a pond it passed was dried up, stomes carried @ distance of forty yards and railings knocked down. Frightened cattle ran about the delds, many of which are strewn with the branches oi the trees struck. The people we: ably ala: d--some of them say the noise waa rrifle—and they thought the earth was about to open and swallow everything up. Atter travelling for about ten miles the fire meteor goes to have expended itself,—London Standar J ‘business with vessels passing to and from the Sound, and every facility will be givento merchants and others to communicate promptly.
