TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY FREMS.”||| Sre, Although Mr. Cosaker may not, ne pit, have tendered his resignation as manager of. the Indo-Citdese Sagar Compaay," yet it is rory generally understand that, partly from the altered circumstances of the company, and the honourable wish to reduce its expenses by about 30,000 per ammoni, te paposcs doing se– before long. Now, with all deference to tha honorable inutives that may be sainating Mr. Costeker in his decision, would it not be better for him, various circumstanova considered; to offer his services to the company, for at least another year, at about a quarter of his prosent reoceration? More than one shareholder finds it difficult to forget Mr. Oostaker's Bret report, upon the Bleshon property, (and upwa which report, by the bye, it is said the company was almost, if not entirely, led into the final purchase of the estate) and is rather apt to as Anciane the pressat value-or rather no value of the abares with Mr. Costeker and his since pro- ved to be slightly erronerie astiaste of the pro- perty of which be was mainly antramentin dooiding the company to become the possessore, with what result is only too well known.

As, bowover, this experience was gained, tot"| great extent, at the cost of the company, the least return be can offer is the one suggested, and it behovas the Directors and Shareholders to take this into ideations

A trial tripi took place on Monday on the railway, the train running between Yokobama and Sinagawa. The greatest speed ntained was at the rule of 30 miles as bour. The re- mult was, we hear from one of the pisarnere; vory satisfactory, though the Japanese officiału: betrayed a little ignorance, which, however, will disappear with prastice.
It has been rumoured that the Government has given permission to the Yedo Shosha to negotiate for the shipment of from 5 to 800,000 picule of ries to China, and that arrangements Lave been made with a mercantile firm tu trans- not his business ou the footing of their ad cepting a share in the transaction. We itave authority to contradict the latter part of this statement, the house in question merely acting as the ngente of the tiovernment în doing its business. At the same time, it appears to us that as the Government has abrogated the restriations upon, the export of rice, the trade should be thrown open to its own pur- chants and troue of all foreign Powers. It is opposed to the spirit which should animate a Government to make private arrangemente of this astors, even if it be net contrary to the obligations ut the treaties, 2
