TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9, 1874, The China Transpacific Steamship Company's steamer Vasco da Gama arrived here last night about midnight, Eighteen days and twenty-three and one-half hours from Yokohama, which is the quickest time between these ports on record. The following is a summary of the news received by this steamer, which leit Yokohama on the 18th | ult, THE TREASURY BUDGET OF JAPAN. Until recently the Japanese have found it expe- dient to conceal the actual condition of their finan- cial affairs, on account of both foreign and interna! complications. It has now been deter- mined to publish statements of their resources, the first of which will be issued in about two months from this time, It will appear that the amount in the national treasury is no less than $25,000,000, including the last English loan, and that the surplus revenue of 1873 was nearly $5,000,000, FOR HUMAN FREEDOM, The Japanese government is exuitant over the decree of Portugal suppressing the Coolte trade in Macao—an action which it traces to the course of Japan in the case of Maria Luiz, FORBIGN TROOPS, The small detachment of French troops stationed 1 Yokohama is about to be withdrawn. The English soldiers, some 400 in number, will remain in deflance o/ the wishes of the Japanese government. A LUCKY OFFICIAL. Simadegu Savaro, the virtual ruler of the prov- ince of Sutsuma, bas been appointed a Counsellor of the highest board of the government. He has no regular functions but is to be called upon as adviser in cases of diMiculty, His title is Naikaku Komon. This appointment is complained of by the Eng- lish residents for the reason that Savaro had been though falsely, of being the sole cause of Richardson's death many years ago. aT WORK.

DIPLOMACY AND NATIVISM. The relations between the government of Japan and the foreign Ministers, except the representa- tive of the United States, are becoming more and more inharmonious. Japan still resists the pleas for opening the country, and requires strict en- forcement of the treaties as they stand, until a re- Vision shail have been agreed upon. THE AMERICAN POSITION, Mr. Bingham acquiesces and the other envoys are vehement in opposition. At the New Year's reception by the Mikado Mr, Bingham was absent, by reason of iliness, Other members of the diplomatic corps presented an ad- dress, which has occasioned great irritation in nigh quarters, It directly urged the removal of all re- strictions upon free intercourse and trade. When first received the question was seriously discussed whether it should not be returned as unaccept- able. The decisive step was not, however, taken, ‘The good faith of the European Ministers is shown by a remarkable circumstance. A German in Kabo was fined by bis consul for transgressing treaty boundaries. The German Minisver m- structed the consul to rescind judgment, and nott- fled the government to that effect. Tne Japanese have therefore informed Mr. Van Brandt that un- less the just penalty be eniorced they will decline further communication with him and make the necessary representation to the Prussian govern- ment. This means, of course, that they will ask for his recall. In 8 precisely similar case, the punishment of an American for going beyond the treaty limits out- side of Hakodadi, the United States Minister has fully approved the consul’s action. The demeanor of certain Ministers has now be- come so aggressive that it will be necessary for the few moderate foreign envoys to cease to act with them as hitherto, in @ united body, THE ATTEMPT AGAINST IWAKURA’S LIPR.

The audi- ence is glad to see him, whether he appears as Mr, Tobias Shorteut in the old “Spitfire’’ farce, new christened ‘Jack Harkaway at Sea,” or in the still more unpretentious character of G. L. Fox. Whatever he does he does well, and tun of the quiet, droll, unconscious sort seems to ooze out of the man and be a thing inhe- Tent im him. “Humpty Dumpty’ coula not help being funny, ever if he tied, and he will continue to make men laugh as jong as he con- sents to remain among tuem. After @ lapse of nine years “Humpty Dumpty at School’ was pro- duced last night. It is a relic of Fox's old Bowery days brightened up as good as new.

The saffering poor of New York received sub- Stantial assistance last might in aconcert given for their bepett by Mrs. Edward Knox—a lady who | has long since won distinction on the concert Stage—assisied by Miss Heurietta Beebe, mme. Martinez, Miss Luckhardt and Messrs, Pease, De Vay, Colby, Florio, Morgan, Gottschalk and\Fritsch, With such @ number o! artists a weil diversified and attractive programme was rendered with satisfactory results, Especially artistic was Mrs. Knox’s interpretation of Rossini’s “0 Salutaris,”? from the “Messe So.ennelle,”’ which brought @ unanimous encore. A duet for two pianos, played by Miss Luckbardt and Mr, Pease, anc com- posed by the latter on themes from Gounod’s “Faust,” attracted admiration by the bright color- ing and graceful treatment apparent in the work itsell, ane the precision, equal touch and spirit of its performance, Muss Beebe, Mrs. Knox and Messrs, Fritsch an Gottschalk sang the quartet from “Rigoletto” at tle conclusion of the concert. Mr. De Vay, a newly arrived violinist, ated & very favorable impression in a De Beriot concerto for piano aud Violin by his clear, well-shaded tone, facility of execution in which the most trying passages: were technicaliy faultless and a certain degree of Warmth o1 expression, ‘The other ariists made selections from composers of tae most widely opposite schools. Gilmore's Twenty-Second Regiment Band Concert. The large’ armory of the Twenty-second regi- ment, next door to the Lyceum Theatre, was crowded last evening with hundreds of prome- naders, the ladies being in a larger proportion in numbers than at any ol the previous concerts, and an attractive bill was presented by Gilmore’s bana, The two immortal overtures, “Der Frei- schtttz” and “William Tell,” were the distinguish- ing features of the concert, being rendered with an ensemble ot spirit and: heartiness that brought out their best points, The “Ranz des Vaches’ in the second overture, succeeding the turmoil and grandeur of the Aipive storm, was neatly and gracefully delivered. A waitz by Gung’, another by Strauss, a potpourri of melodies from “Nabuco,” with numerous solos fairly distrib- uted among the instruments of the band, a waif trom Bach and Gilmore's spirited march, dedicated to the regiment of which he is new bandmaster, were the other light morceaux of the bill, AS usual, Messrs, Arbuckle and Lefebre played solos and received the customary recalis. Monday even- ings have been Feiected ior the future for the regu- jar promenade concerts of this band. Park Theatre, Brooklyn—English Opera, The Kellogg English Opera company, after their successful engagements at the New York and Phil- adelphia Academies of Music, commenced last evening a short season at this house. The audience was very large and proportionately enthusiastic, 80 much so that no more promising beginning of an operatic season could be expected in the City of Churches, The opera was “Lucia,” and was presented with the same cast that marked Its pro- duction at the New York Academy. Miss Kellogg, in the title role, was the central figure of attrac- tion, and seemed to be in excellent voice and spirits. Her rendering o! the mad scene was the gem of the opera. Encores and bouquets fol- lowed each other in rapid succession in ail the prin- cipal airs of her role, There 1s nothing to add to what has been previous y stated in these columns Tegarding the efforts of the otner artists in their Tespective parts. Mme. Jennie Van Zandt makes her bow this evening in “ Martha,’’ with Mrs, Se- guin as Nancy. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Over $6,000 were taken tn at the Nilsson matinée in Boston on Saturday last. “School” bas attained its five hundredth repre- sentation at the Prince of Wales’ Theatre, London. Real sheep, which appear in the pantomume of “Little Red Hiding Hood,” at Covent Garden, were recently introduced to the royal box, where the heir apparent’s children loaded them with bon- bons and caresses. A Chicago critic speaks of the “meaningless songs of the roustabouts on the Mississippi steam- boats before the war’ as ‘such as the children of Israel wept when they hung their harps on the willows by the banks of the Euphrates, beneath the shadow of Babel’s tower.” Such fertility of thought must be dangerous to the possessor. At the Metropolitan Theatre a fine entertainment was given last night, The pantomime of “Paul and Virginia’ was the principal Jeature of the pro- gramme, It was performed very skilfully by the Martinetti troupe. Next to this were the remark- able gymnastic acts of the Jackley troupe and of Miss Leona Dare, who is, with some truth, called the Queen of the Air. The character sketches of Sam Rickey and Master Barney have in them the elements of mirth, while all other performers pleased an enthusiastic auditory. The entertainment at the Theatre Comique last night was of that character and degree of excel- lenee which are usual there, The house was crowded to the doors, no unusual occurrence, and the auditors were extremely enthusiastic. The performers certainly gave them cause to be so, for nothing more extravagantly funny can be imagined than were the doings oi Harrigan and Hart as the Senators, and the Carroll Family as the McFad- den Family. The singing in character and of sen- imental songs was very good. Mr. E. Eddy, he who is so great a Shakespearian actor outside of the metropolis, was the principal in the sensa- tional drama of “The Ragpicker.” Of his efforts it need only be said that the audience received them favorably. A very tashtonable assemblage attended an ama- teur performance given at the Lyceum last evening in aid of the New York Foundling Asylum, The programme consisted of the two-act comedy, “The at the door of the Foundling Hospital and other appropriate scenes, the whole concluding with the farce of “Turn Him Out.” It was al- together an enjoyable entertainment. in the frst mentioned piece Mrs, Etta Man- ning as Gertrude created a very favorable | Impression by the earnestness, vivacity and ability which she displayed, and proved herself possessed of histrionic qualities of wnich many # pretentious professional artist might well feel proud. Indeed, all did their parts creditably, noticeable among them being Mr. Colter as Captain Maidenblusn and Miss Widgery as Mrs, Middleton. Mr. J, BE. Frobisher sustained the part of Sir Charles How- ard and Mr. H. Morrison tnat of the Hon. Leicester Fluttermore. Although, of course, some faults | could be detected, the piece passed off smoothly, to the evident gratification of the audience.

Pending the approach ot offensive operations he interviewed some of the chief restaurant keepers who sell liquors under warrant or license trom the collectors of internal revenue for the general gov- ernment. It isto this shape that legal objection will be taken to the operations of the feminine raiders, The question will be tested whether a license irom the United States to vend such liquors is valtd or not. JUDGES AND LEGISLATORS IN TREPIDATION. But the temperance movement has assumed such proportions that not only legislators but the | Judges of the courts hesitate to enter earnestly in opposition to it in any shape. One of the princi- pal restaurant keepers in this city, the Delmonico of Columbus, declares that he is as great an advocate of temperance as any of the de- voted women who are now sacrificing their time and comfort to the cause, He would deal out Mquor only to the temperate and sober, ag it 1s done at the sacrament table.

Saving the rights tn prop- | erty, it would be a good thing for the natives of the State, as well as for strangers who come to tarry awhile among them, if they were all made to create @ higher oraer of fluid in the seasons of drought. A LOCAL SUBJECT. Let mie introduce a local subject. Delaware, twenty-five miles north, is the seat of learning of the State. The Ohio Wesleyan University, having 500 students, 1s located there. Frederick Merrick was the President for twelve years. Last June he resigned, but, at the request of the faculty, holds a position which might be termed general guardian of the morals of the youths. He has always been devoted to the cause of temperance, and has been President of the Ohio Temperance Alitance. Until last fall he refused to aMitate with tne prohibition- ists, considering moral suasion was the proper form to use against the traMc. He is aman ofa don’t-come-near-me nature; cold, austere and stern. Given to logic and destitute of impulse, he 1s unable to see why @ person does not think as he does. His labors in the cause have been com- paratively fruitiess. The Dio Lewis, or, as some call it, the “Delude us,” fever reached this town, and the ladies were anxious to com- mence the movement, A mass meeting was called, and an immense audience, composed of both sexes, assembled. Dr. Merrick was there, with his cold, steel arguments, to remonstrate against the impropriety of the movement, and he succeeaed In crushing out the womanly impulses, and it was determined that there should be no | street performance, Prayers should be uttered, | but in the closet or church, and with the assurance on the part of the Doctor that God liked | quiet petitions better than noisy demonstrations, | the meeting resolved itself into a formal temper- | ance league, with the Doctor as President. Thus the would-be Carmelites were disappointed, THR SALE OF LIQUOR GOES ON, and the law is openly violated each minute in the | day in that goodly city. The ladies are determined, however, if the league does not bring forth most ap- parent fruit, to inaugurate the prayer movement and storm ‘the citadels with orisons, which they are sure will be heard, Itis expected that a call for a grand temperance convocation, to be held in Columbus, will be issued immediately. The move- Ment Is advancing and cannot be retarded unless political demagogues, seedy parsons without pul- pits and masculine charlatans of any kind get the management of it. A row is expected at Lancas- ter, thirty-two miles away, to-morrow night, and the Gin Keg are carried out, WOMAN'S TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT. Continual Spread of the Crusade.

ENG AND CHANG. The Dead Siamese in the Hands of the Surgeons. evere Conditions in posed on the Doctors. Probable Exhibition of ‘the Bodies After the Autopsy. PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 9, 1874. The greut scientific mystery of the union of the’ Siamese Twins, the secret of their vital organs and the direct cause of their mutual interde- pendence for health and life and growth, as =owell as) othe «full insight to their mysterions. mental and pliysical relations, are soon to be ascertained. To that band of heroic and enthusiastic scientists Who, in face of the nfost extreme diMcuities, have found their way to the dreariest quarters of the South and brought hither this quaint aad curious human coalition, concerning which the cariosity of the entire world now seems tobe greatly aroused, ‘their professional brethren generally render the heartiest praise. The Ort oficial report of the commission o! plysicians recently returned irom North Carolina Was rendered to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of this city to-night. ALL THE PARTICULARS of the journey, the condition of the corpses when: the doctors arrived, the manner in which they were embalmed and theis mode of conveyance here, as weil as the report of their famply adviser, Dr, Holitagsworth, have already appeared in the HERALD, from the special commissioner who. accompanied the medical agents on the route and fully reported their work—on acconnt of which ac- curate reports one of the doctors was censured to- night—sv that there reaily remains nothiug for your correspondent here to communicate save the actual circumstances of the meeting this evening. The College of Physicians and Surgeons was crammed to overflowing; the fellows ana menibers of the college filled all the seats and standing room was scarcely to be found, All the strict adjuncts of secrecy which the doctors had announced would be fully carried out, in view of the great scientific con- course present seemed to be entirely removed. Dr. Ruschenberger, President of the Academy of Natural Scientists, presided. He wag st one time a leading surgeon in the navy, and is one of the most cultured and experienced surgeons known to the projession, HIS COURSE APPROVED. Dr. Pancoast then appeared and related fully to the meeting the difficulties and perpiexities of the trip, Which were “fully reported in their columns by the HERALD agent who accompanied him.” Dr. Pancoast was then censured for giving such publicity to his movements, the plea be- ing tbat he appeared to be seeking a too great newspaper notoriety. The Doctor then made full explanation, aad so clear and conclusive were bis arguments that the college endorsed both his action and the action of Dr. Allen, who was his companion. The Coilege then allowed the doctors the sam of $350 each for their trip, after which a com- mittee was at once appointed to conduct THE avrorsy. Designating the appointees by the German term of Committee on Mutten Museum. The committee appointed censisted of Drs. J. Kk. Paul and D. W. Mitchel, who will act im concert with Drs, Allen and Pancoast, each medical society and university in town being represented. In the above SELECTION the action of the meeting was to the effect that { casts and photographs of each stage of the autopsy should be submitted to the College, and that the same be authorized to invite simply members of the profession to witness the autopsyr the examination being strictly witnheld from the public. Dr. Saul D. Goss, of Jefferson College, then in- troduced Dr. Hollingsworth, mentioned above, and then the CONTRACT. WITH THE FAMILY was read. Its full substance is as follows:— The doctors will be obtiged to conduct their work with the greatest care, as the | contract made with the wives of Chang | and Eng is a strictly legal document, and worded So that thé slightestsvariation from it may be pun- ished with the most severe penalties. The docu ment places the bodies oi the twinsin the hands of the physicians upon the condition that the ex- amination be conducted only so far as to settle scientific mysteries, and forbids any unnecessary mutilation of the corpses. It also states | that no photographs or cuts of the bodies, when under antopsy, shall be given | to the world by either the physicians or the photo- graphers, and while the docament does not pro- hibit the practice of photography during the post | mortem, it especially states that ali negatives of | such photographs shall become the direct property of Mrs, Chang and Eng, and ail money reverting | from sale of the same shall be their own. THE LIGAMENT NOT TO BE SRVERED, ‘The contract forbids the cutting of the connect. | ing band in front, and strictly insists that all | dissection of the same shall be made from the rear, | so as not to interfere with the appearance of the bodies after scientific curiosity shall have been satisfied, The document furthermore states that the bodies shall be carefully dissected, with the view of covering up subsequently all incisions made by the knife. PROBABLE EXHIBITION OF THE TWINS, It is evident that the famtlies of the dead Siam- ese intend to use the corpses hereafter for their | own pecuniary emolument, and that they intend to conform all photographs and prints of the dil- ferent stages of the autopsy to their own personal | advantage. It is denied that the Commission | paid any large amount of money to secure the bodies, but in case of breaking of the above contract the family will be apie | to recover immense damages should the bodies be found to be tn an extreme state of decomposi- tton, The contract cannot be possibly adhered to. | Though the bodies were well cared for, and by means of all the resources of the profession used in the embalming process, one of the doctors told me that it is was probable they had suffered considerable decomposition, but not not 80 much as to prevent a perfect and satisfac- tory autopsy, The autopsy will be placed in the hands of the committee, and the time of com- mencing the same will be leftto them. It is cer- tain, however, that it will begin soon and that the next two days will develop all. SAVANNAH BAOES, SAVANNAG, Ga., Feb, 9, 1874.
