We give the following correct translation of what the Hochi Shinbun of the 10th Juns published concerning H. E. J. Pope Hennessy, on the occasion of the Governor's arrival in Japan, and are informed that it ie a most reliable rendering of the original:-

That condition as far as this Empire is concerned, would be reversed by our own legitimate development, a development which would soon be traced in the increase of trade with Your Excellency's Govern. ment, and with Great Britain herself.

Japan (Mail.)

The S. 8. Serapis, from New York direct. for Shanghai, Yokohama, and Hiogo, via Suez Canal, brought 20,980 packages of merchandise for this port. This is, we be.. lieve, the first through shipment by steamer from New York to this port. Some time since, the New York papers, referring to the growing importance of the trade between the United States and Japan, said that it was in contemplation to start a direct ateam service via Suez, but as far as we can gather, no definite steps have as yet been taken in the matter; and such service will entirely depend on the market demands. The pre- sent import comprises about 50 tons lend, 50 bales cotton goods, olocks, scales, drugs, modicines, kerosene and sundries.
