The Nobles' Soehool, nommonly onlod the dis kusha-in, was completely destroyed by fleo at half-past five o'clock p.m., on the 18th alt. The school was a large building, or rather group of building, construoted entirely of wood, sad hosted by stores. It stood in the Kando dis triot of Tokyo, and on the whole it must be counted fortunate to have escaped, ainoa 1878-- the year of its coripletion-tho fato which has now overtaken it.

The more enggosted be remedy the prevailing depression are: first, the rednotion of sdministrative expenditure · and · agrimitural taxas; sound, a limitation of the amount of the paper earranny in circulation: third an alteration of the terms for the payment of the land tax; fourth, the sacouragement of general industry and the simplitostion of doon mentary correspondence; and fifth, the opening of an inlet for the introduction of foreign faud and the inauguration of mixed residence.
