Summary of News from the Far East.
JAPAN.
YOKOHAMA.
The present French mail brings advices from this port to the 25th September, but by the Pacific mail the dates extend to the 2nd October; the P. and O. mail from London July 26 arrived out on the 8th; the French mail of Aug. 2 on the 20th, and the P. and O. mail of Aug. 9 on the 26th September.
The following summary of news is from the Japan Herald:—The chief event since last mail has been the hearing before a Japanese tribunal of an action brought by Captain Hereira, of the Peruvian barque Maria Luz, for the recovery of the coolies who since the decree of the Court in the trial of the captain for cruelty towards them have been living ashore at the cost of and under the surveillance of the Japanese authorities. The case commenced on the 18th September, and judgment was rendered on the 27th. Mr. F. V. Dickins, Barrister-at-law, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Davidson, barrister, appeared for the defendants. The Court gave judgment in favour of the defendants.
It is not the intention of Government to allow foreigners to lease residences in the city of Yedo. All those who were granted permission are notified that they cannot remain longer than one month from date, and are required to return to Tsukiji.
The Consuls have just been notified of an important departmental change. All claims of a judicial character, instead of being as heretofore addressed to the Chiji of the Kanagawa Ken, are now to be sent to Mr. Nishi Naromori, Shio Chiu Hanji, the President of the Judicial Department of this ken, which from this date will exist as a separate department. Mr. Hill is appointed its legal adviser, and Mr. Wills to act as interpreter in conjunction with two native interpreters.
It is some time since Yokohama was visited with an earthquake of such unusual violence as that which occurred yesterday morning. The shocks were both lengthy and severe, in one instance knocking several ornaments from a chimney-piece to the floor, and in another, half emptying some fire buckets of their contents.
It is reported that Mr. Galy has been appointed to the post of interpreter to the Judicial Department, by the Minister of Justice, and Mr. Ribérolles as principal of the newly-established Law College.
Fire-rio kinsetsu, of the new issue, printed on foreign paper, are already imitated, spurious notes being in circulation. The Government asserts that the paper and engraving are correct, but the ink used for Japanese seals is too light.
Mr. English, Consul at Niigata, is about being transferred to Osaka, where he was formerly stationed, recent occurrences in that quarter having rendered such a step expedient.
Mr. A. M. Shillingford and Mr. W. A. J. Waters have been appointed assistants in the Okura-sho, to Mr. T. J. Waters, Surveyor-General.
A deputation of sixty persons has arrived at Kagoshima from the King of the Loochoos to the Mikado, and may be expected...
