Mill* IlfrMO IW'i HUM WIUVIIIII^ | Vlll'IU UIUBI VI IVUISV UOgreat mortality are long.’—Gttlong InltUtgmctr.Japan—Some accounts appeared in the United States Journal*, of a body of Amoricau seamen, who had been shipwrecked, and lived fur a time in Japan, and who were recently restored to their country through the interposition of a man-of-war of the Unieed States. Through the same journal* we now learn that several Japanese are at Honolulu, having been shipwrecked out at sea, by an American ship, and having found no opportunity, though anxious, to return to their native country. They contradict the common belief that a Japanese who goes abroad, and afterwards returns, is put to death, and say they are sure of being well received whenever they are able to go back to their native place. One of them has been a whaling voyage in an American ship, haa acquired a knowledge of our art of navigation, and ia anxious to impart his knowledge to his countrymen, aod show them his skill. These facts teach us that a commercial communication with Japan is by no means so hopeless as it has hitherto been represented. The Americans are preparing to follow this new light *, and we hold it up here as an encouragement to our own commercial classes connected with the Eastern world, to direct their steps in generous competition townrds the same goal.
