At the time it was believed that 'Commodore Watson's expedition was about to make a 'der, cent on the coast of Spale; the Spanish authori iles began making extensive military preparas tions in the Bay of Gibraltar. A couple of guns were dragged up behind the Queen of Spala's Chats, commanding the nör front. These works it was thought, even if Intended for the Americans, might become not a danger, but an eventual annoyance to Gibraltar, and at any tate were an intringement of the treaty of ces- sion, stipulating that no gdos should be placed within range of the Rock.

While the produc los of lecquer sap has greatly diminished in Japan, great quantities have been brought in from Chins, the quality of which is far leferler to that of Japan. In consequence, the lacquered wares mannfactored in Japan have lost their fate in the markets of Europe and America, for the surface of the lacquer breaks late pieces within a short time. Moreover, a paper lesita- pre-ion of lacquer ware has recently been invented
