It is important both for Koren and for Japan; but it is a great pity that the Koreans should be subjected to the treat ment they now receive, which is sure to alienate the sympathy of outsiders.

Dr. Morrison, the Poking corresponent of the Times, as the result of a Aylag visit to Korea, has arrived at a very different opinion. On April 24th, after spending a weak or two in the peninsula, he delivered hiroself out of the fulness of his heart as follows:---
