SUMMARY OF NEWS.
JAPAN.
THE all absorbing subject of Japan news continues to be the death of the Into Ty coon Kubosama, and the appointment of his successor.
Subjoined is the official notification of the death of the late Tycoon. It is worth preserving, perhaps, as an illustration of Japanese ceremoniaks. The Japau Times, from which we copy it, remarks that the

We are, however, glad to notice that a new Rifle Club has been established, and we triat that there may be some challenges sent from our crack shots to meet the Bong kongites; though it is to be hoped that if this be done, Shanghai may make a better show of riffe-men than she unfortunately did of cricketers.

On Sunday evening the cottage of the Chinese marker at the Volunteer Rite Butts, Hongque, was forcibly entered by a gang of, as the man alleges, six foreigners nate man's clothes and some dollars. His wardrobe, which probably, like Falstaf's, consisted of oue shirt for use and one for superfluity," being thus unexpectedly rc- duced, he had to make his way into the seliiément enveloped in one of the flags. The police are investigating the matter.

The question was held over for decision by the Court.

A Japanese Gentleman has sent to the fines a translation of a paper throwing some light upon the present civil war in Japan, where our meaus of obtaining info mation are scanty. It appears that the retainers of Moori Daizen (lie Prince of Chiosin) and the fariners in his territory, have addreseed a manifesto, pr an appeal to their countrymen, in vindication of their prince and themselves; setting forth
their own views of the righteousness of their
cause and their determination, if need be, to die in its defence. The prince bimself could not well make such an ageal direct ty to his peers, because he is held to be a rebel, and therefore his vassals have nule
taken to do it for him, and sent the appeal
to the Prince of Satsuma, in order that thence it might circulated throughout all the principalities. It is well known that
the Prince of Satsuma sympathiscs with
Moory, Daizen in the present struggle with the Shagoon, but he could not circulate the appeal mining the older Daimios, with out incurring the risk of taking the side of the insurgents. One of his retainers does it, accompanying the domument with a note over his own signature. The following is the manifesto:--
