LAST month'a remarkable story was "going the rounds" amongst the upper ten" in London to the effect, that His Majesty the Emperor of Japan would visit Europe next year. But little, if anything, is known of this important mission bere, though of course a protessive Sovereign such as the Emperor of Japan would undertake the journey did he consider it expedient in the interesis of bis people, for whose welfare he has ever shawn unflagging zeal. As the Liverpool steamer Rothesay, Captain Jenkins, was entering Galle barbour on the 31st Oct., she struck on the Mabamodard rock, and by the morning had broken in two pieces and become a total wreck. It is understood that the ship should have called at Colombo for coal, but made for Galle after finding she had gone too much to the southward. She was bound from Cardiff for Batavia with coal, and was a screw steamer of 1,973 register tonnage. She was built about ten years ago, was 286 ft. in length, 37 ft. in width, and 23 ft. depth of hold.
