that he is the man above all others for the Japanese mission. It has now been vacant over a year. Japan is, of all oriental nations, most friendly to the United States. Seventy per cent. of its entire commerce comes to this country. The Government and prople of Japan cannot understand why so little attention should be paid to them by Uncle Samuel; why a mission of so much importance, among a people so warm in their friendship, should be left for more than a year to the charge of subordinates. Dr. Bedloe has shown his ability, bis probity, his acceptability, in neighboring fields. He would be eminently perions grata in Japan, and a great army of bls admirers and friends to Washington and through. out the country would like to see him sent an envey extraordinary to the Mikado.

St. Patrick's will not be honoured this year as the Opening Day of the river, for the ice looks good enough to last 1 rst April, and unless the "unexpected" happens in the shape of a week's thaw, night and day, we may make пр our minds not to have vessels in port ill quite the end of March, so that unless of our next couder, an extra one by the bye, telegraphed for by our popular and thonghtfal young commissioner, brings us mails vid Tientsin, we shall indeed be deprived of news for a long time.
