In his last he gives an interesting account of the hist interview or .Mr Harris, United States Consul at Simoda, with the Emperor of Japan at Yeddo, the imperial eapitol. He snvs ! The manner in which Mr IT. and his secretary ' went to Yeddo is interesting. The Emperor sent hi in :i hodv duara of 120 men. raid hau eomioi table ,.,! houses nut alonir the road for him to pass the nights in. He also sent him a large sedan chair, reified by 12 bearers, and so roomy that he put a mattress into it and reclined at lull length when he was tired of sitting. It is only about 70 miles Yeddo, thev were lodged in the most commodious : quarters, treated witti tne greatest respect aim ai A . A. - . 1 ..A. tention, and granted interviews with the Empe- i ror. The reader is of course aware that every one, who has heretofore approached the Emperor, has been required to do so upon his fcnees. Has custom they were determined to adhere to in the present ease; but, somehow or other, it had never before been so difficult to "bell the cat." "Who was to speak to Mr 11 about it?" that was the question: Finally a Japanese uougias sieppea ior ward and offered to brace his huge shoulder to the task. This gentleman was not the most determin ed man in Japan; but then he was upon the most intimate terms of both social and political intere coursc with "the American Legation." lie there fore called upon 31 r II. and commenced the attack by begging that he would not be offended at what 1 A - lie was going to say. 'Certainly not !" pays that gentleman. But he ii- n i . : . : .. .1 lias an illKllllg 01 Wliai is coming, aim a iooiv vi sudden and unusual gravity causes Donjrlas to tremble. Instead, therefore of broaching the sub ject he begs ouce more that '-his Excellency will not be offended at something which he, Doug las, has been ordered to say;" and then coughs, and looks behind him. "Certainly not!" and an increase of gravity in the Consular face. Corresponding increase of nervousness on the part of Douglas. Grand tab leau, in which the American eagle is supposed to dominate. Final desperation of Douglas, and out bursting of the secret. 31 r Harris listened quietly and kindly to all he had to say, and then replied with his usual judg ment and firmness of manner. He told him that he was anxious to do everything that was consis tent with self respect to do honor to the Kmpcror, but that this thin": was out of the question, and had better not be referred to again. "Were Nipon to send a Minister to my country," he said, 'die i, i ,,,,.,-,. ...v. ,.,. Pnxiiilffnt in ;mv manner he saw fit. He miirht kneel mid knock his head :. aii.st the floor, or he might bow to h:m and shake hands. 1 here we allow every one pcrtcet liberty; and it is but right, theretore, that 1 be allowed the same here." "Very well ! Very well !" replied Douglas, half apologetic-ally. And thur;. was settled this question unr torr !" remarked Mr H. Mr Harris speaks most interestingly of the feats of the jugglers, and of the theatres of Yeddo, as well as of the extensive stores. He says that the Prinee of Cinano, (Cinano no-Kami) to whose par ticular care it seems the Emperor confided his com fort and amusement, fancying that ho was having a dull time in the immense house that had been ap that I am only repeatinu" tchat Mr Harris tofd as, am! tfhat ne consrtptentfy believe. Hero are some of his feats: No. I. He took an ordinary boy's top spun it in his hand, and then placed it usual, the sword was danger brou bt ously sharp. No. - was aLo perf ormett witn tne top. in; spun it in the air, and then . . j r fhrfw tnt end ot tlv Mvinir l:iek toward it with such accuracy t ... that it was caught up and wound itself already for a second cast. Bv the time it had done this nau uaucima it bad reached his hand and was ready for another - - in. o ?, was still nerformcd with the top. There was an nprrght pole, npon the top of which was perched a little house with a very large front door. The top was spun, made to ciiuib the pole, km ek open the said front door, and dfeappear. As well as I remeniuor, the hand end of the string was fastened near the door, so that this was almost a repetition d' the seH-.r'.icTnur feat. But feat NO 4 was something even more aston ishing than tfH'this. He took two paper butter flies, armed himself with the u-ual paper fan, threw them into the air, and fanning gently, kept them living about him as if thev had been alive. "He Call make them alight whenever you wish ! Try him:"' remarked the kami (prinec; through the interpreter. yT J requested that one might alight upon each ear of the jggler. No sooner expressed than complied with.' (jk'Btte undulations of the fan waved them slowly to the required points, and there left them comfortably seated. Now, whether this command over pieces of paper was obtained f-implv by current of air, or by the power of a concealed magnet, Mr II could no; tell or as certain. Or.e thing, hi wevcv, was curtain the potrer tros tlwrr. Let us turn from jugglers to theatres.

REGULATION OF THE PRICE OF BREAD IN PARIS. In nothing is that spirit of minute supervision i so characteristic of the French government, more remarkable than its regulations with regard to the price of bread in the metropolis. However incompatible this may be with that freedom of movement which is claimed for the trade of bread, in common with all other departments of com merce, the French regulations must be admitted to be effectual for their purpose. We copy the fol lowing from one of our exchanges. Every bag of wheat, flour, or meal that comes to the city must be brought to the Halle an Hie, or drain Hall. This is an immense area, inclosed with a circular wall, and covered by a huge dome, so that it presents a vast, unbroken hall, of grand and beautiful proportions, lighted from the top. - , 11 ! 11 t- .1 If (' ll prions stalls, witn desks lor tne oinces oi tne clerks and employees. On the floor of this hall are piled up, cobhouse fashion, in huge piles, ten to twenty-five feet high, the bags of grain, present ing to the visitor a striking panorama of solid plenty. The city of Paris is surrounded by a wall, not for defence, as it is comparatively slight, but sim ply for police, revenue, and other municipal pur poses, one of which is the regulation of the bread market. Barriers, that is gates, with police at tendants and revenue officers, form the only en trances to the city, except the River Seine, which has also its guards. Every bushel of wheat or other grain brought to the city for sale, must be registered and stored at the grain hall, under heavy penalties This regulation is rigidly en forced, which is easy to do at the barriers with so bulky an article; especially as the bags must be of uniform size. From this register of the daily supply, the gov ernment of the city know at any hour just how many pounds or pecks of grain of any kind there arc in i aris. rrom accuiau Buiusuva imjuncu to be furnished, they know how much flour or meal is baked daily at each bakery, and how much bread of all kind is consumed. They are there fore able to fix the weight and prices of loaves, each size and shape of which has its appropriate name, according to the ratio between the supply and demand, allowing ; fair and just profit to pro ducers, traders, bakers; no more, no less. This price, thus fairly graduated, at short intervals, is fully proclaimed to the public, the dealers, the bakers, and the police. The police is authorized to drop in, at any time, into any bakery, or breadshop, wherever bread is exnosed for sale, and Weigh the loaves. There is also a special inspecting officer appointed for this express purpose. His visits are not stated, mat thev mav have things got ready for exhibition in stead of inspection, according to the English and Araorinnn fashion of doillfT Pticll thin GTS.

Sergeant Bermey has just return ed from a Southern tour, where he has been mak ing arrangements to break up the lottery busirtcsp. He has visited the governors and authorities in states where the institutions exist, who, without exception, have pledged a hearty co-operation in putting an end to the system There are now twenty lotteries in the f'nited States, fifteen of which are in the State of Maryland, and expire by their charter in April next.

LEGISLATION AND THE CURRENCY. j0rn:i of Commerce in reviewing the dis- c(Miol8 odil of a meeting of the i.Wends of a sound currency" in Now York, re- i marks i We have had far too much legislative tinkering of the currency already, and we have little faith in : the benefit of arbitrary enactments. The law of trade will better regtdate thive matters if we leave I the subject entirely to them, and not interpose so many legal interruptions. If we are to have special i legislative privileges on one side, we create a ne cessity for special restraints on the other; but free trade, like the truth, needs less carelul watching. i...i.: ...i t 1 1 oil n IU K'lUVfs nun r. iiij, iu.i i iimiuc i jhv WO step odious tyran- bar- tive restrictions neecssarv. We forbid the legitimate loaning of money at over seven per cent, and then create, by Invr a class of institutions which are enabled to declare eight and ten per cent, dividends by the very practices we are now exhausting our wisdom to prevent. We increase the competition in banking without increasing capital, by refusing the same profit to money employed in more natural chan nels; and alter stimulating this strife by every con ceivable legislative artifice, until the lever thus created leads to all sorts of wild excesses, we set to work, ou the hoinoepathic principle, to cool off the excitement and restrain the madness by a fur ther exhibition of the same process, lt would ho refreshing, at once, to see a step taken in the op posite direction. ' THE DANCING. "Look ! look!" said a half" dozen lady voices on o pretty night, as we sat leaning against the outside of the bail-room. We did look alas ! for our poor modesty, we ought not to have done so. "If my children were among them, I'd whip them well for it. Yes, if they were full grown, I'd givo them the hickory." So said the wife of one of our princes, as she turned away in utter disgust. Doctor, let me describe a little it the public may look, certainly it may read, though it run. A group of the splendid ones is on the floor, and lovingly mated. The gents encircle their part ners waists with one arm. J he ladies and gen tlemen stand closely face to face. The gents are very erect, and lean a little hack. The ladica lean a little forward. (Music.) Now, all wheel and whirle, circle and curl. Feet and hecln of gents go rip-rap, rip-rap-rip. Ladies' feet go tipity-tip, tipity-tip-tip. Then, all go rippity, clippity, tippity, bippity, skippity, hoppity, ju in pi ty, huinpity, thump. Ladies fly off by centrifugal momentum. (J cuts pull ladies hard und closo. They reel, swing, slide, sling, look tender, look silly, look dizzy. Feet fly, tres.es lly, hoops fly, dresses fly, all fly. It looks tuggity, huggity, pul lity, stieezity, pressity, rabbity, rip. Tho men look like a cross between steelyards and "limber jacks," beetles and jointed Xes. The maidens tuck down their chins very low, or raise them ex ceedingly high. Some smile, some grin, somo giggle, some frown, some pout, some sneer, and all sweat freely. Hie ladies' faces are brought against those of the men, or into their bosoms; breast against breast, nose against nose, and toes against toes. Now, they go again, making a sound like (leorgey-porgcy, dercy-peery, ridey-pidey, coachey poachey. "This dance is not mneh, but the extra aro glorious." If men were women, there would bo no such dancing. Hut they arc only men, and so the thing goes on by toe 2mm of it. When a boy, we used to visit these Dutch dances, and trip the whirling beer barrels, as they passed our feet, and then run for dear life. We still feel the instinct of tripping in our toes.

Somebody truly says, that "riociety" in a nuisance in a "fashionable" fenhc. It in nothing more nor less than a stiff series of absurd and cold formalities. It has no heart, any more than the llock of Gibraltar ha. The password of it is "Money" if you've got it, or make the world think you have, "go in." Brush up your beaver never mind about your character and "go in !" Learn the set speeches of polite MMtP, dress "in good tate, pretend to grt .espt for a sectarian creed, and keep up a hjyoble ouUide show, aud you ahall bafvly pass w;tj xXii pepteel elect.
