OBITUARY.
Thomas William Uabrrtnon.
This celebrated modern playwright is dead.
He was born at Newark-npon-Trent in 18211,
was brought on the stage from the cradle, his
father being manager of the Lincolnshire
Circus, with a family of thirteen children, all
of whom embraced the drama as a profession,
lie was educated at Spalding, Lincolnshire;
remained there till the age of seventeen,
when he commenced that career which
he followed with Buch persistency and indom
itable pluck that success at last crowned his
efforts. When but eighteen years of age he
translated the Voraican Drothevn, Famt and
Marguerite, and several other plays for Laoy,
the great dramatic publisher and bookseller,
London. For a number of years he wrote
dramas for the minor theatres, which met
with only moderate success. He contributed
also to i'unch and Fun aud various periodi
cals, and has written leading articles and dra
matic criticisms for elaily aud weekly papers.
Yet be Btruggled on through mauy and hard
privations, and suffered all the well-known
trials of young authors.
In 18'j."j he married a Miss Gordon, an
actress. Mrs. Robertson died of consump
tion about seven years ago. Mr. Robert
ton's reputation was first established by the
comedy kueiety, brought out at the Frince of
Wales Theatre in November, 1805. It was
followed by Ours, produced at the same
ehtftblihhment, September 12, IKCiJ; by
khaduD lite khaft, which proved a failure,
produced at tl Princess Theatre, February
il, 1H!7; by Vonte, another sncoess, first
played at tho Piince of Wales Theatre, April
H, and by For J.ore, at the New Holborn
Theatre. October ., is!7, and since that he
has written School, I'rogrcxn, M'r, and his
last play, Mirth, is now in rehearsal.
lie was a keen observer of human natnre,
bright, witty, and vivacious, and, instead of
following in the beaten t rack of other authors,
Le took his materials from what be saw around
him. His characters are those of every-dy
lift; Lis most ardent admirers, those who
know its realities best. Always known as a
straight forward, honest man, '.t is an estab
lished fact iu London that ho never forgot in
his propperity those who had been true to
him in adversity.
TorLow how poor Robertson mutt have
struggled with tho scribbler's fate, we append
a copy of a receipt which he gave in exchange
lor a folio of manuscript and ton pounds in
ist;.r(. The copy is made from tbe original:
London, August S, 1s'r. In consideration of the
sum of ten pound?, which I hereby acknowledge to
have received, 1 sell you the manuscript whioti I
now hand you, entitled I'astiun lovcm, a drama
lu three acts, written and composed iv mo.
.no. Thomas William Kohkiitson.
This piny was never produced, and is still
in the hands of the purchaser. Among the
earliest efforts of Robertson's pen were tho
comedies of Abroad and at llomr and at
Heme and Abroad, and the drama of David
Garricl: Four years since the deceased
manieil his second wife, a Germnn girl, who
was born in Baden, and whoso acquaintance
lie had made in London during the season.
By this lady he had one child, and that she
exfrrted a strong influence on his after writ
ings may be scon in his last drama, War,
in which the heroine of the play is a German
with an intense love for Fatherland.
OUIl JAPANESE YfSITOKS.
Iloriowfna Amertrnn Idcnw-The Object of the
Ymil nl ihn fsperbil UoinininnlourrN.
The Washington Republican says: G ivernnr
Jushe llirobumle I to, Assistant Minister of Fi
nance of the empire ot Japan and Special
Commissioner to the United States of America,
is a man of rank, formerly a retainer of Cuo?in,
tbe second priucc of importunes in the empire
of Japan since the last successful revolution.
Through Clioein, Ito was educated aud sent
to Europe for a short sojourn. After his return
from Europe he was made Governor of lliogo,
and from his uniform kindness and courtesy to
foreigners resident there won a greater decree
of regard from them than any other Japanese
official had obtained that had come in contact
with them. About a year ago, wheu the pre
sent Government of Japan became consolidated,
Chosin was made Secretary of tbe Treamry.
Ito was placed immediately under him, aud lias
eince that lime really superintended the liuau
cial affairs of the country.
About ten years since the Japanese Govern
ment purchased the machinery aud dies of a
mint, and tad It set up at Usacca, anel soon
after the works were erected at that place the
Japanese Government sent over about two mil
lions of dollars worth of old Japanese coins to
be refined according to the standard of the
United States (lil'O)." This was done at the insti
gation of Ito, who had juat then assumed his
position in the Treasury Department. When
this bullion was returned it was coined into
money tokens for the Empire of Japan of the
same fineness, size, shape, aud value as those
issued in the United States. Thus they have
gold coins in all things equal to our double
eagle, eagle, half and quarter eagles; In a word,
the Japanese Government Has taken the decimal
system of coinage of the United States for the
benefit of their mercantile interests.
In conversation with Governor Ito yesterday,
he remarked that he had selected our" system of
coinage after the examination of the reports of
agents scut abroad to examine the different
systems, and had arrived at the conclusion that
the United States plan was preferable to any
other. But It was soon found that further and
greater reforms In the fiuaucial administration
were necessary before it could be said to be
on a Bound, footing. The late revolution has
changed Japan from a feudal Government to
a consolidated central one. Under the old
regime the money that was necessary for the
maintainance of the Government was assessed
on the different feudal princes. They in
turn demanded the money from tho lesser
nobility, and so it was continued down to the
merchant and dealer. Since the ownership of
the daimioB' territories has been vested in tho
central government, and the princes and com
mon people being alike subject only to the rule
of the Emperor, the old mode of taxation is
found to be impracticable. Hence the advent of
the imperial commissioner. He visits Wash
ington to place himself in communication with
our Treasury Department, and proposes to post
himself thoroughly in our different systems of
central and local taxation, the revenue aud its
sources, the tariff and all custom house affairs.
