8 A JAPANESE CONTROVERSY Dr. Uatgovrun Tku to Task toy kJtna " nese Writer. The ra'l Mall Oateti mma up tome interest ing information about the Japanese: 'An auiueliif? controversy has arisen In the Far Kant in regard to the moral and physical condition of the people of Japan. It may be remembered that when that country was first Ifopened to foreigners a few yeara ago, the ac count tflven of the habits and customs which there prevail, pointed rather to pleasure aa the end pursued than to moral law aa the gnlde obeyed. In particular, Europeans were struck with the arrangements of the 'tea-bouses.' Sir Eutherford Alcock. on his journeys In the Inte rior was either so profoundly impressed with the impropriety of this system, or else was so fearlul of the temptations to which it might ex pose him. that he refused to put up at these establishments, though they are the only hotels tor travellers of all descriptions, and required the Government to provide him with separate accommodation. Judged by European Ideas, the freedom of manners which prevails in Japan naturally leads to conclusions unfavorable to the morality of the people, and disposes one to believe the ftiitementa which are made as to hnir nhvsical deterioration. This is the sub- Iect 011 which controversy baa arisen in Bhang iae, the Chinese port nearest to Japan. "The discussion was originated by Dr. Mac pownn, an American who was once a missionary at jiinppo, but is now cngneed in the secular work of Commissioner for the East India Tele graph Company. He lately read a statistical paper before the Asiatic Society at Soamihae, in which he averred that 'unrestrained licentious ness and a universal taint' existed anions the Japanese, and that these two causes are both decreasing the numbers and deteriorating the quality ot their population. 80 rapidly, how ever, has the preas advanced in theie parts of the world of late years, ttiat this statement, being inserted in the Chinese version of a Bhangliae paper, was.immediately replied to by a native Japanese, who wrote in the old Chinese character, which is understood both in Japan and by the better educated in China. It is -worthy ot notice thiit the chivalrous sons of Kiphon are beginning to exchange their long swords for the pen as a means ot controversy, and it is not to be wondered at that even the latter Instrument should still, in their hands, have a martial flourish about it. Dr. Mac gowan's opponent writes very contemptuously of the Doctor's knowledge of Japan, and states that, If the accusations were known in Japan, the youth of that country would, without ex ception, rush to arms in order to avenge the insult. "Unfortunately, neither of the two controver aialists gives sufficient grounds for his conclu sions. Dr. Macgowan simply asserts that the population of the country has been greatly over estimated; that he thinks it is not more than sixteen millions (a ridiculous underestimate), and that it has formerly been much greater, and is still decreasing; after which he assigns licen tiousness as tne guilty cause. The Japanese, on the other hand, asserts that the population of liis country is nearer fifty than sixteen millions, and is quite as large as it ought to be. There may be some trutninDr. Mac0)vaii's statement, but It is almost univer-ally allowed by travellers that the Japanese men generally are strong and active, while the women are healthy and good Jookine. Jljese characteristics are hardly recon cilable with Dr. Macgowan's averment, and in the last few years the Japanese have shown remarkable energy and practical talent in adopt ug and using Western inventions. "We have a list of eighty European and American vessels, almost all steamers, which have been purchased by the Japanese Govern ment and by individual daim'os since 185'J. when the ports were opened: and manv of thee steamers are entirely manned and officered by Japanese. The Prince of SaUuma alone pur chased seventeen steamers lor purposes of war and trade, and, not content with what has already been done in this wav. the Government ias ordered in Europe and America a number of monitors and other iron-clad vessels. The steamers already purchased have cost the Japa nese rather more than seven millions and a half of Mexican dollars, or about 1,200,000 sterliner. Instead of showing a decajing race, this would seem to indicate a revival of the maritime SDirit for which the Japanese were formerly dis tinguished, and which, a few centuries ago, broueht their vessels to the coast of China and Malaya, and even into Indiaa seas and across the I'aeitJc to the shores of Western America. The? have also established at Nagasaki exDen- eive machine shops expressly for the repair of their steamers, and Prince satsuma in particu lar, who was so disposed to tight with us at one time, has taken great pains to develop the re sources ot bis principality and of the Lew chew Islands by the introduction of cotton mills, suear mills, and other muchlnerv. He has gone bo far even as to cause a work on the 'Law of Storms' to be published for the use of his sea going subjects." , Vh French Minister Itouher, The following is a portion of a long article in the Cincinnati Commercial, translated from a German Journal : It remains tor us to describe the political pe culiarities ot M. uouuer, or ratner tne lutiuence of his individual views on the Emperor's policy. And here we are obliged to contradict, in the most emphatic manner, the rumors circulated by tne newspapers or ail European countries, and likewise echoed bv a maioritv of the Pari. aian journals, to wit: That Rouher often exerts a decisive influence on the political course pur sued by the Emperor. We base our opinions on sources whose reliability can not be ques tioned: and mav satelv assert, therefore, that while Napoleon III holds the helm of govern ment In France, no opinion but his own can bave any influence on the destinies of France. Houher, lijce all the other ministers, is nothing but an executor of the Imperial will; and as he la the only minister whoso eloquence is such as to make an impression upon the Chambers, he occupies a more commanding position in the Cabinet than his colleagues. Moreover, it is a positive fact that the first draft 01 Ills celebrated speeches are always written oy tne Emperor nimseii. itouner elabo rates the drait as furnished to htm bv the Em peror reads, then the whole to bis sovereign. corrects such passages as the latter points but to mm, ana 11 isoniytnen mat tne speech is read to the Cabinet. Early in the morning, before the session of the Chamber at which the speech is to be delivered is opened. Bouher has another interview with the kmoeror. and often important changes are made in theppeech at tneeievemn nour. itouner s wouaertui memory is perfectly equal to these extraordinary intel lectual tons. As an administrative officer, Rouher is a mediocrity, and always anxiously observing the existing method, and never daring to cohevond it, lie is utterly unable to originate new measures or importance. In fine, Kouher is such a man as Napoleon III needs; destitute 01 aniouton ana independence, but endowed witn exiraorumHry talents, and, above all. oopsesse great parliamentary ability. It u th Kmneror'a merit to have correctlv appreciated these talents of M. Rouher among the vast number of parliamentary humbugs in Vranr.A who keen on the side of the Govern ment, and whose only genius consists in their boundless arrogance and vanity; and to have subjected bim to his absolute and inflexible in Should Rouher ever show a disposition to Dlav. in earnest, the part attrinuted to him by the Emperor, the above state ment will be confirmed immediately. Waat has become of M.

Dergan. ,to As the fatal day on which Bildjret Dergan Is . pass into another world draws near she lt gradu ally becoming more resigned lo her fate, and evidently realizes that there is no chance or escape. During the latter part of last week she received a letter from ber brothers, who reside, with her mother, at Bllgo county, parish of Van Clicf, Ireland, in winch the death of her father is mentioned. Her brother, who is a well-to-do dry goods merchant, asks her in the letter if he can be of any service to her by crossing the ocean, and states that, if so, money will not deter him from doing so. The news of Bridget's situation had not, at the time the letter was mailed, been announced to ber mother, as she was already afflicted by the death of her hus band. At Bridget's dictation the Jtllor has written a reply to the letter, which will be for warded by the Boston steamer to-morrow. She states to her lriends that she will die in the bosom of her holy religion, and a strict adhe lent to the Romau Catholic faith. She asks that fathers Kelly and White, in Ireland, be re quested lo say mass for the repose ot ber soul, and states that Father Rogers, of this city, has done all in bis power to alleviate her bodily and mental su tiering. Bridget tell, her brothers and sisters, In her letter, that bad company has brought on her ruin. Bince receiving the letter from her home. which is the first she has received for over a year, Bridget seems to be deeply affected, and states that in a day or two she will make a full confession of her knowledge of the crime for which she is uuder sentence of death. Father Rogers visits her about twice a week, and plainly tells her that she must make public the full particulars of the bloody occurrence. A numucr 01 residents ot tne city, tnrougn a desire to satiMv their morbid curiosity, pay visits to the jail daily for the purpose of seeing the prisoner, but in many cases they are com pelled to depart witnout Having ellectcd their object. Brhieet has not made any new state ments in rcgnrd to tne murder, but still adheres to the statement recently made bv ber that the deed was committed with two knives, one of which Mrs. Conel wrenched from the assassin's grasp. N. 1. Herald. Mi Burdett Coutts' Market for the Poor. An English paper savs: "Miss Burdett Coutts has taken the initiative in tin important enter prise for the benefit of the poor in one of the most destitute districts of London. A local act. promoted in heV name, was quietly passed through Parliament last session, the preamble ot which sets forth that the opening of a market for the sale of fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, and other provisions, in a convenient position near Columbia square, Bethnal-green, would be of great advantage to large numbers of the laboring classes, and other persons resident in that parish and its neighborhood. And fur ther it recites that Mis Burdett Coutts is willing to undertake the establishment 01 such a market at her own charge, and to maintain it lor the use Of the I'ubnc. No time has been lost in giving effect to the authority contained in the act. A large piece ot ground has been set apart lor the market, and the buildings are already sufficiently advanced to enable one to Judge of the aspect ot ttie place wnen completed. 'The market is enclosed on each side by a range of Gothic buildings of an elegant but sub stantial character. On the right and left is a row of shops, twelve on each side, with a cov ered way in trout ana aweiiing-nouses aoove. On the Lorth side ot the market is the market hall, containing twenty-four shambles, the access to which is by a porch, above which rises a clock-tower one hundred and ten feet high. The shops are supplied with every convenience in tne way ot cellarage, water, gas, etc.. and tne dwellings aoove ore eacn complete in itseit, and contain comfortable rooms, with wash house and kitchen, well ventilated and fitted with every sanitary requirement. The aiea of the market covers altogether ninety thousand feet. The large open square will be set apart for stalls and' barrows ot all kinds, the adtnis- Eion teeti charged on dealers being at a very low scale, suitable t the costermonger class who conduct in so large a degree the commissariat of tne poor. "This scheme will not only supplement the house accommodation of the adjoining Colum bia Square, a large pile of model lodging houses built a few years ago by Miss Coutts, and now tenanted by a numerous settlement of laborers and artisans, but will supply a want severely tcit by the whole population ot the neighborhood the want of a convenient mar ket, inesproject win aiso incidentally comer another beneht on this quarter by opening up a new street and otherwise improving the com munications. Although utility bos been the first object consulted in the plans of the mar ket, and no effort has been spared to make the fittings of the shops as perfect as possible from a business point ot view, Miss coutts nas been anxious that artistic effect should not be over looked. The general appearance of the build ings, with thelolty clock-tower in the centre at the upper end, is very impressive. It is little to say tnat tnis market win oe tne best in any partot London. Compared not only with the spacious halles of Paris, but even with the mar kets In second and thirdrrate provincial towns in England, the metropolitan markets are one and all simply disgraceful small, mean, over crowded, and inconvenient in every way." Kxtreme Heat In India. Intense heat has prevailed this summer In India. A local journal says: "The pas.t summer in India has not only been an unusually hot one. but it has been of un. usually long duration as well. Though Bomoay may not have sutlered anything so tierce as 'the oranaing summer or ueugai,' its proximity to the sea always insuring it a fresh breeze some time during the tweuty-four hours, the heat even nere nas oeen intense lor several months, the thermometer in the shade ranging to ninety degrees Fahrenheit, or more. As we write the thermometer indicates a temperature ot eighty-six degrees, while the rainlall till lust night only amounted to about two inches, the average fall at that date in former years being as much as ten times that quantity. The 'burst' of the moonsoou in Bom bay this year consisted only of thunder and lightning, unaccompanied bv the usual down. pour. Several violent storms have, however, taken place in other localities on this side. On the Bengal side the heat has been so extreme as almost entirely to cause a suspension of busi ness, and to render sleep and pleasure impos- oiuic. xuercuanig' oinces ana some public works have been opened only in the early morn ing and evening, and applications have been made by various courts of justice for permission to close their doors altogether fill th should become endurable. Of course, as manv rov,ajo iu mc urns uiu so, ana to tnotie Who COUld not. the few ahnspra wa ti.na mnj. had, and the promise of more at hand, afford some relief."
