Lonpon, August 20, 1873, The iron masters of Mancester have determined upon a lockout of one-tenth of their men, to com- menice on Saturday next and to be foliowed every two weeks by a lockout of one tenth of the men then employed. It is probable that the movement thus inaugurated at Mauchester by the masters will extend throughout the country. The iron workers of Bolton urge the men at Man- chester to meet the lockouton Saturday by a strike Of all hands, The aspect of affairs excites great interest in this city, as an extensive strike is apprehended. The points in dispute between the masters and men have reference to rates for piece work and overtime.

The New York HERALD 1s a lively paper. Its ‘enterprise and reckless disregard of expense in getting up the iatest news isin advance of any- thing in that line inthe world. It makes Johnny Bull open his eyes and scratch his head every few months. The best English newspapers are in- significant compared with the HeraLp, and the ‘Thunderer itself as a newspaper does not make ‘up @ decent side show. When the English government and people had abandoned the gallant Livingstone to perish in the interior of Africa it ‘was the New York Heratp that fitted out an ex- pedition and sent its correspondent to interview bim—and he did it, But it was not the first time that the HeRaLp astonished the English, During the Abyssinian war it was from the tclegrams -of the New York HERALD that the English govern- ment received the iirst intelligence of -the capture of Magdala and the death of the royal Theodorus, At the opening of the Vienna Expost- ‘tion the H&xaLp astonished our German fellow citizens by publishing columns of telegraphic -desciiptions of the opening of the building from the gilted Bertold Auerbach and Louise Muhibach, the historical novelist, and allin German, It was only the other day that the Heratn stirred up the Spanish Don Quixotes with a sharp stick. The world was in utter ignorance of the real situation in Cuba. It was impossible to learn what the dimensions of revolution were and what prospect the Spaniards had of sudjugating “the Ever Faithful Isle.” An intrepid correspondent penetrates inte the interior and spoaks face to face with the rebel President, Cespodes. The resources of the Cubaus are ascertained, as is the trath about the much-talked-of Spanish vic- tories. The service rendered to the people of the United States cannot be overrated. The light which the press generally throws on every transaction of @ doubtful character ts the great preventative against the ‘nroads of intolerance ana oppression, and the press tliuminates the whole scene and all the aetors, The HERALD may be re- garded as the embodiment of American enterprise and pluck, and deserves well tho fame and dollars Ahabbaye bec heansd on tte Bee de es NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET.

Sats The recent Japanose insurrection on the South, ern coast seems #4 be but little understood—tnat ig, if $f gan be judged from the statements of parties | Who have just ari:ve@ here Toi the Orient, it Partakes somewhat of tho rican gralge jnove- ment, though it has taxon ST ie ‘habe. ean ANY ths, Entopean tnbabitants in and avouy Nagasaki received a private intimation from the interior that it would be well for them to | take refuge upon the firat Pacific Mail steamer that | should appear in port, as tuere was vigorous riot, ing goiug on that in all likelihood would reach the city within thirty-six hours, At first this created much excitement and alarm, but it was soon quelled by the French missionaries, who, had been out into the country and had 7 | been able to check the progress of the iasurrec- | ttonists by kind words and arguments. From them it was learned that while the Japanese farmers were at werk gathering their crops, several revolutionary emissaries appeared among them and represented to them that they were being taxed for the introduction of Christianity and forthe encouragement o{ foreign trade and foreign monopolies. They hesitated for a little while, but soon they went into the movement; and in four days there were over twenty thousand of them banded together and marching through the country, They burned several villages, destroyed the crops of all who refused to join them and in the meantime sent a formal request to the Mikado for a@ -relief from onerous taxa- tion, The Mikado answered with several battlions of troops and two large gunboats. A Speedy chd to conflagration and destruction wes the result, and when our informant leit Japan the quasi rebellion was at an end, ‘The Japanese people seem much pleased with the liberal views now being propogated by the Mikado. ‘They seem to have but little jeaiousy of the Ameri- cans and Europeans, though they are perfecting | themselves in the arts and sciences that have been | introduced in their midst. Among the latest rumors rife in Japanese commercial circles was that the Mikado was about to declare Simontsaki an open port. This is now the largest port in Japan not open to foreign trade, and its trade is most valuable. At present our vessels are allowed to get provisions and water thore, but no crew can jand, It is tne port of the Inland sea, and the Eng- lish und American houses of Japan are anxiously waiting its opening, so tuat they may pounce upon its rich commercial harvests, Search of the War Department for Al- leged Missing Records. It was chargea some weoks ago that a number of important documents relating to the late war could not be found in the War Department, In one instance specific papers were mentioned. The Secretary, determined to test the truth of this general assertion, accordingly began an investiga tion in the case mentioned. Nothing could be found to show that the papers were mis- laid in the Department. The Secretary singled | out various important cases famfliar “to himself and others, familiar to officers of the army, and directed that the papers be pro- duced, In every instance they were found in com- plete order. Determined, however, that nothing Should be left undone to arrive at the truth in the matter, the services of several old and experienced oficers were brought into requisition, and they too taued to find any papers lost. Documents written in cipuer were translated, and every care taken to ascertain if papers had been removed, All were found in their proper places. Tne Secretary has just received the reports of the ofiicers who aided him in the search, all of whom report that they can find nothing missing, and the search is now-at an end, Secretary Belknap himself atter a rigid examina- tion has failed to discover that any records of the Department are missing, with the exception of those in the Buell court martial case. He, hewever, | invites any one who can name any particular papers which they believe to be missing to report | the fact to him, Asit is a matter of impossibility to examine every paper in the Department, he hopes the parties who charge that papers are miss- ing willspecify the documents to him and iurther search will be made.

The Post Ofice Department has ordered an ex- tension of the postal service on tie Milwaukee and Northern Railway from Hiibert to Green Bay, Wis., and on the Omaha and Northwestern Ratlroad, from Biair to Herman, Neb.
