Says the Japan Mall-As we have once or twice remarked, in all comparisons Instituted in this vicinity between the naval forces of Japan and China, it has been the habit to omit con- sideration of the perionnel of either service The gradual increase in the number of ships be longing to China has been carefully noted, ap. parently with the desire to create an impression that Japan will find it impossible to compete with such maritime strengthas her neighbour can now mass at any given point. When Shylock said that ships are but boards, he sagaciously added that sailors are men; and in the management of a war- fleet more defends upon men, and their quality, than upon the ships engaged. The Japanese have long ago given evidence that they know how to work their own vessels, while no Chinese craft has even ventured from port, we believe, excepting under foreign control or guidance, Nine years since, a small Japanese corvette happened to be between a Chinese frigate of considerable' size and a smaller gunboat, in the roadstead of Liangkiss, on the Formosa coast, under circumstances which might have developed into a condition of extreme unfriendliness; and It was interesting to contrast the demeanour and bearing of the different crews. The Japanese were kept in strict tiscipline, but the expression of their countenances could not be restrained, nor was their conversation among themselves very rigorously suppressed. In spite of their numerical inferiority, and the comparative weak ness of their armament, they were as eager for the chance of a fray as if each individual sailor had a private cause of grievance in the Formosa dispute. Their hostile spirit, however, could hot be long continued, for the meek and deprecatory attitude of the Chinese gave it nothing to feed upon. Whispering humbleness was their game, for officers and men alike... So the Japanese tars were obliged to possess their souls in con- temptuous patience, until the time arrived for the departure of the dragon squadron, when the Interchange of a salute became necessary. The utter inability of the Chinese to perform this simply ceremony seemed to drive away all thoughts bat derision from the minds of the Japanese. The yellow flag was duly honored by twenty-one guns from the corvette Nishis, but the big frigate bungled over the response in the most pitiable way. Six reports were first heard, at intervals varying from tway to thhity seconds, Then came a pause of at least three minutes, followed by six more regular and confused ex plosions, after which ensued a delay so extended as to excite surprise. A bögt was actually started –from the Nishin" to loquire if an accident had
occurred, and if help were needed, when is most Ul-timed detonations burst forth, succeeded, in the same lubberly fashion, by the final wied up of the remaining discharges. The Japanese ollicer sent to investigate, learned that the frigate kept orty-six cannon cleaned and ready for firing, and that the regularities in time were caused by the unskilimess or want of practice of the gunners. There was nothing but laughter for the Chinese navy, after that; and the news that several of the sailors were drowned, a few days later, in trying to get ashore at: Takao, did not increase the esteem of Japancer Jacky for the teamen of the Middle Kingdom,
