Some eighteen months Miiec, our readers may remember, we introdneed to their notice a work prepared by three members of a litera ry society connected with, the ITniverßlty ol Pennsylvania, translating and commenting upon an Egyptian' monument, and beautilully lllnstrateirwith cliaractoristle designs by one of the authors." >7c have been by no means surprised at the success which has in every way crowned their efforts, and which wore so fliliy.deserved. Two from among the rhany kind notices It has met with from eminent men—a iettea ftom Baron Ilnmboldt and a review by George Bancroft, the historian—have appeared in onr columns. The s jeond edition is nearly out of print. We wish now to call, attention to a work in some respects similar, a “Japanese Botany,” being a fac-slmilo of a Japanese book, with Introductory notes and translations, published by our ontorprisiog fellow-citizens J, B. IMp pincott 8c Co. > ' Tho mime of the editor and translator, (an officer of the United States Navy, we believe,) is not given. It appeals in a style similar to the original, in paper, binding, &c. Forty, four pages are taken up' with the? Japanese plates and text, illnsfmting and describing thirty-nine different dowering plants. Four teen additional pages givo a literal and a free, translation of tho first eleven or twelve pagos of description. Introduction and notes occu py as many more. ' f . The drawings—bold, free, and natural—are, remarkably good. , Among the plants repre sented are the Taraxacum, Shepherd’s.purse,' Fern, several spocius of Epideudrlnm; also,! several of the Iris water-grasses And lilies-j ■Were' tliero iibtbing else, tho work would be! valuable for the illustrations, which show that’ the arts of design in Japan have reached a; higher point, in respect to at least one depart ment, than most of our readers ate probably; aware of. Many, however, will be disposed to value it ; more as affording an insight into tho language ol our new allies. . Tho editor- does not, In-j do£d, claim for this work a high critical value,' and our readers can readily understand tho; difference between the close'and careful studyj in the" explanation of tho dim remains of a| long-lost languago shown in the Kosptta Stono, Report, and what wonld ho required in givjtigj a popular version of a work of this kind in a; living tongue. Vet, such works as this are! really very important. They attract the atten tion of those who would never care to' open the huge quarto which goes to tho root of the matter!while,it prepares tho way, with some,; to these, by developing a taste which might; otherwise have remained latent,' • ' ' , ’■ This “ Botany” will doubtless incite >_in many minds a-detire to know something of the language of Japan. It has in ours. Shall we tell 'you some of tjio results of cfiir IfivestK gatioi 1 1 • ; In tho first place, if we may define a tiling by telling what it is not, the Japanese language is not a variety of the Chinese. Klaproth, tho eminent linguist, declares it to bo “so dissimilar to ail knowu languages in Btructjlce, grammar, and every characteristic, as to prove the nation who use it to he a distinct race.” Bow, then, is the well-known fact to be ex- 1 plained that the Japanese can understand Chi. nese writing, and the Chinese tirat-*' r *t. nano*" : .ociers sro, cm, ployed ? This is precisely as tho different na tions of Kuropo each Understand numbers written In Arabic numerals. These.numerals are signs of common ideas, not of words; 17, for. instance, representing to an Englishman, a Frenchman, nbda German, the same rnlue, but the different names are seventeen,, dix sept, and slebzehn. The Chinese language Is essentially mono, syllabic; tho Japanese, on thoolher hand, de lights in polysyllables. For exsmple, the first person plural ot tho personal pronoun, which; in most other languages, is one of tho short-: eat of words, ia in Japanese, i oats kuso dome. The Japanese are said, prior to tho latter part of the ftiird century, to have had no written languago. Wo nin, a learned China man from tile Corea, in the reign ot Oiiziu tenwo, introduced Chinese ideographic cha racters. These are still used largely in Japan, Some four hundred and (lily years later, an al phabet was formed, or, rather, a syllabary; since each of the forty-eight characters, hut one, represents an entire syllable. These let ters were called kata lean a, or parts of letters, being formed of portions of Chinese cliarac terjj They are generally used in connection with Chineso characters to define their pro nunciation', or mark grammatical inflections. Hira-Kana—letters appropriated especially to the tise of ladies —hurl tlielr origin atabont the same tilrie. They also arc formed from Obi nese characters. Tney do not seein to do jus tice to their name (hirnkana moans “equal writing ”)> there boing various irregular forms tor each character, which makes it difficult to read. This kind of writing may be used with outthe Chinese character. Besides these two more usual kinds of letters, are the Zlakn-so', the Manyokana and Tamalo-kana. These fivo alphsliks are sometimes all used at fandom, with (t, sprinkling of Chinese characters. A inoro confusing style could hardly be imagined. To return to our baolt—On the cover are two Chinese signs, sawa, kuwa, representing an herb.and a-flower, to be read “Herbs and Flowers,” since It is a singular fact in Japanese gramiriar that no word is considered singular unless it can be proved so. Two pages in the beginning oi (he book, which beginning, in Japanese, is always at the other end , ns in the Hebrew, are a title-pnge and index in Chinese and him* hana characters mixed. A preface Oi tv?o pages follows. lint ono side of the paper is printed on, the blank sides being turned to gether, the edge uncut; just between each two pages, which thus folded make a leaf, Is printed the title ot the book and tho number of the leaf.'"The descriptions are at the sides of the picture, each taking up some three or four lines, Chinese characters with tiira kana in terpretations, ice. The translator in trans cribing these has employed the kata-kana. The descriptions of the plants aro not very, scientific. We give that of tho first in the book, as rendered (freely) into English : “Taraxacum.—The leaves are like the radish in form. The flowers resemble the poppy thistle They are yellow. Tho white head is the seed, The principal flower stalks are tali. The leaves are large, rather broad, and erect. It blooms from the end of the first till the end of the third month. Tho flowers are suooeeded by white seed down liko Maya-llnki.” We advise our readers to get' tho hook tor ! themselves andsoo what they can make of it. ; I Since, of course, tho same words aro most of them repeated frequently, no doubt an inge nious person could, by comparison, translato , much of what is leit untranslated. Who will . try 1 H'c have not time to make the attempt. of the ccminittoe appointed tty the Phiioma thean 'ooiety of the University of Penns) Ivania to translate the inscription on the Rosetta stone.

The article in the London Times t concerning tbo San Jaau question, is considered here to be nothing bat an obnllldon of British pride and ar romance. Its tone, it is true, is overbearing and unsoropulou?, but we are accustomed to expect from John Ball in his intercourse with foreign na tions, little courtesy and politeness. But so far ns this country la concerned, the idea that Great Bri* tain will go to war on account of the insignificant San Juan qnsstlon Is more than rldioulous. We know that weoon do very well without her, but the cannot git along a single year without us. War, of osnrie, would stop all commercial Inter*, course between the two countries; the British cot* ton factories, depending for five-sevenths of their employment npon the United States, would be stopped for want of cotton, employers would be ruiaed, and famine would stalk abroad among the hundreds and thousands of working people who are at present fortanately well employed. That is the seoret whieh liduoed Lord Grey, in his celebrated speech, to use h« following language: If any on* Europoan nation,?’ bo observes, “ were to act Ii the same manner, it ceuld not es cape war for * single year. We ourselves have been repeated!; on the verge of a quarrelwith the United States. With no divorgecoe of interest, but the stronger possible Intorcst on both Bides to maintain the clceet friendship, we have more than onoe.been on th»eveof a quarrel; and that great calamity hasonh been avoided beoanse the Govern ment oftbU couttry bashed the good sense to treat the Govorninontof the United States much as we should troat spoled children; and though the right was olearly on ojr side, has yielded to the unrea sonable preteuatus of the United State?.” We appwbendihat Great Britain, In spite of the fiery artloles of he London Thunderer, will have to take refuge n the same consolation. The ,** spoiled chUdrei” will do just as they have done heretofore—that is, General Harney will bo sus talced in his polly, and not read lied, as the Times desires. - Returna are ooring In slowly in the Census Of fice. They are fir superior to those of 1850, so far as orthography nd writing are oonoernod. That proves that the puntry is progressing, and that good education ha bcoome more general. In a few month there will assemble in Europe the Fourth Etatfifoal Congress. All olvllized countries have hen Invited to send delegates«' atnongst them, theUnitod States. Tho purpose of the Congress Is tofnrther statistical solence, nml especially tolutrosioe more uniformity into the official reporfotof tie respective Governments, in order to facilitate t comparison, and make them more correct; Thefirst Congress met in Brussels, the seoond in Falris.and the (hir’d in Vienna., Re presentative? of all European Governments were present, comprising tho first statisticians In the world. Tho Unitedltates were,at Brussels, repre sented by thepreconbblo superintendent, Mr. Ken nedy. Our- Goveranent befog invited to send delegates to the nex. Congress, Mr. Buchanan has appointed two gentl/men to represent this country, who know just as tmoh of statistics as the Japanese do about danolng. Iplthor of them has over had anything to do, on any oonnoetion with that science, and, therefore, It must not a little sur prise the European sivants to see this country thus represented, while there is no scarcity of scientific and able statistical writers amongst us. Besides, neither of then Is acquainted 'with tho Frenoh language. In which the proceedings of the Congress will be held. Indeed, statistics, without wbloh no statesman oangef along, are ltttlo appre ciated iu this oountry-at least, that must ho. the conclusion to which the European statisticians will arrive. .No*; A Larger nun&ftr of persona than on any previous day, arc «Juried to have visited the Great Eastern dn thd T *hib wilt con* tlnue open an honr longer than lies- been the cos tom, the sale oftiekets dosing at 7 instead ef fi ?• *i Ob-g? that tile Tare ta rodiwaj, i« eyM.ntJy UredVoa the In crease.--Iv.

Here amid the loom ing breakers, which know no treaeherons under tow, the most timid forget their timidity and join tho more venturous In tho health-infusing surf. Yesterday (Sunday) oar church-attending com munity had ample oanse to congratulate them selves. At the Methodist Episcopal; Ohnrcb, the Hev. Allred Cookman ofilcigted, morning and eve ning, and was greeted by.large repreeentaUana from the hotels and cottages. In the Presbyterian Ghnrch, on Pennsylvania avenue, Episcopal ser vice was observed, under the offiolet charge of . the Rev. Dr. Watson, of tho Church of the Atonement, Philadelphia. Large audiences sere present morning and evening, and the Rev. Doctor’e beau tiful, appropriate, ami Impressive Sermon was con vincing to all present, that though removed from the sanotnarles of their adoption, even Loro they can enjoy the Dlvlno edification to which they are aeoustomed at home. Yesterday was also inaugurated the first Sunday train of the season, and a large number of orderly and respectable persons availed theniEelvea of the opportnnity to spend a day at the sea-aide. Con trary to much speculation npon the propriety of running a Sunday train, it has been, since its In troduction last season, voted a decided blessing to hundreds who o&nnot get away from business on other days, and whoso deportment when here be tokens a degree of respectability, quite re freshing to the advocates of a Sunday train during the bathing season. Apropos of trains, &0., no thing odnld Do more efficient than the management ef the Camden and 1 Atlantic Railroad during the last two years. ' However, when anything moves with the greatest degree of harmony for a time, it beoomes at onoe most human and natural to criti cise any innovation that may be introduced. And it Js not alone your correspondent who pauses for consideration at a rumored change of old-esta blished rules; . It is whispered .that hereafter there will be a change weekly, of the conductors from one train to another, thus subjecting them, at very short inter* vals, to ontlrely different tlme-tableß. Wherein the practicability of this step oan He, remains to be revealed; but it does seem that, whereso many trains occupy tho same track; a greater degree of safety would be Insured if oach of the effioleut gentlemen who have command of the trains were .assigned permanont stations:- This is given as a prominent topic among the hundreds who feel gladdened at overy success in connection 1 with the O&mden and Atlnntio Railroad.
