. Suicide is very common, and is generally
cbmmitted by cutting open the bowels by two
gushes in the shape ofacross. It istolerated

The criminal who thus anticipates execution
secures the public sympathy, and applause,
saving his property from confiscation, and
his family fl'om disgrace. Upon the death of
superiors or masters, suicide is ofien commit-
ted as a mark of personal devotion and at-
tachment. It is also common as a means of
escaping disgrace or revenging an affront,
where there appears to be no other resort:—
Titsingh, in his “ Illustrations of Japan,” says
that all military men, servants Of the Emper-
or, and persons holding civil offices under the
bGovernment, are bound, when they have
Committed any crime, to rip themselves up,
though not till they have received an order
from the court to that effect; for if they were
to anticipate this order, their heirs would run
the risk of being deprived of their places and
property. No disgrace attaches to such a
death, and the son succeds to the father’s
place. “This practice is so common,” says
Titsiugh, “that scarcely any notice is taken
of such an event. The sons of all persons of
quality exercise themselves in their youth, for
five‘br six years, with a view that they may
perform the operation, in case of need, with
gracefulncss and dexterity; and they take as
much pains to acquire this accomplishment
as our youth do to become. elegant dancers
or skillful horsemen; hence the profound con-
tempt of death which they imbibe in their
elrliest years. This disregard of death,whicli
they prefer to the slightest disgrace, extends
to the very lowest classes among the Japa-
nese." Recent accounts state that the now
fashionable mode of ham learn, or “ happy
dispatch,” as this practice of suicide is called
substitutes decapitation by the sword of a. rel-
ative for the old method of ripping up.
raisin Ciutim~ man.
A recent English writer (Randall) in his
“Memoirs of Japan,” thus sums up the char-
actel of the Japanese: “They carry notions
‘of honor to the verge offanatacism; and they
are haughty, vindictive and licentious. On
the other hand brawlers, braggarts and back-
biters are held in the'most supreincicontempt
.The slightest infraction of truth 'is punished
with severity; they are open-hearted, hospit-
able, and, as friends, faithful to death. It is
represented that there is no peril a J apanesc
will not encounter to serve it friend; that no
torture will compel him to betray a trust,
and that even the stranger who seeks aid will
be protected to the last drop of his blood.—
St. Francis Xavier, after a long missionary
experience of the Japanese, declared that in
probity and virtue they surpass all the nations
he had ever seen, and the latest and most
competent European and American obser-
vers bestow almost equally high praise upon
the national character. '
THEIR AGRICULTURE.
The agriculture of the Japanese is conduct.
ed with diligence and skill. With the ex-
ception of the roads, and of the woods re-
quired to supply timber and charcoal, hardly
a foot of ground to the very tops of the moun-
tains is left uncultivated, Irrigation isjudic.
iously applied, and manure of all kinds is
carefully collected, and used in the produc-
tion of generally abundant harvests. The
grain principally raised is rice, which is said
to be of a very superior quality. Next to
rice, the tea-plantis the great object of culti-
vation. A coarse sugar is obtained from the
sap of a tree. The gardeners of Japan have
attained the art of dwarfing and also of un-
naturally enlarging all vegetable productions.
They exhibit in the miniature gardens of the
towns full grown trees of various kinds only
threefeet high, with the heads of about the
seine diameter. A box was shown, in 1820, ‘
to the President of the Dutch factory at Na-
gasaki, 4 inches long, 1 1-2 wide, audit~ high.
in which were growing a bamboo, 'a fir, and
a plum tree, the latter in full blossom. The
' price asked for this portable grove was about
$500. The growth of trees is sometimes so
stimulated that the branches stretch to a great
distance from the trunk, and are supported on
props.
MANUFACTURES.
The Japanese work admirably well in iron,
silver,gold and all metals. Manufactures are
carried on in every part of the country, and
some of them are carried on to such a degree
of perfection as to surpass those of any other
part of the world. Their lacqucringin wood
surpasses that of all other nations. They
work with great skill in was, a mixture of
gold and copper, which they color blue or
black in a manner unknown elsewhere.—
Their silk and cotton goods are well made,
and they understood the art of making glass
in all its branches. Their steel swords are
unapproachable in quality, and they make
excellent mirrors Of steel. Paper is made
from the bark of a mulberry tree in great
abundance, and of remarkable strength; it is
used not only for writing and printing, and
for wrapping goods, but for handkerchiefs
and napkins. They are skillful in carving
and die-sinking, and in the casting of metal
statues, whichare extensively used for idols.
Their iron works, tobacco factories, distiller-
ies, breweries, and other manufacturing es-
tablishments, are frequently on a large scale,
employing hundreds of workmen. The cit-
ies of Miako, Yeddo, and Osaka are the great.
‘seats ofmanufactures. At Miako are made
damasks, tafi‘etas, and other silk fabrics of
every kind, lacquered articles, caps, sca'rfs,
screens, fans, plus, how strings, paints, tea.
boxes, grindstones and porcelain, and earth-
enware; at Osaka, cotton goods and iron-
ware; and at Yeddo, nearly every species of
manufacture is carried on. The people show
“the greatest eagerness and aptitude for uni;
tating all kinds of European manufactures,
ind they are already well supplied with mi-
croscopes, telescopes. clocks, watches, knives,
spoons, the, of native make from European
and brass cannon in the European style are

made, and the bomb-shells with the latest
improvements. Colt’s revolvers and Sharp’s
rifles are also made by native 'worknien, and
at Nagasaki works have been established for
the production of steam engines without Eu-
ropean assistance, and a'screw steamier built,
which has been successfully navigated from
Nagasaki to Yeddd in nine days, entirely by
native semen and engineers. .
INLAND mun. ' .
"f’The internal trade of Japafis carrigd on
with great activity. The roads are good and -
kept in excellent order, and stables, taverns
and warehouses on the road are abundant for
the accommodation of merchants" and other
travelers Goods are'coavered' by lead 011
pack horses and oxen. But the principal
carriage of merchandise is " by water, 'for
though the peculia‘ r' canstructio‘u of Japiin‘ . 85.6
vessels unfit them for long sea voyages, they
are well enough adapted to the navigation of
lakes and rivers, and for coasting from port
.to port, and crossin' g from island to island.—
The shores ofthe Japanese group aifOrd great
facilities for a coasting trade, from the abun-‘
dance Of harbors and of shelter for vessels of
small size; and these facilities are energeti-
cally used by the people of the cOasts, who
'keep afloat a vast number of vessels, from
fishing boats to junks of 300 tons burden.-
Commerce is fine from any impediments by
tolla'or duties, and the inland trade is pro:
moted by great fairs, which, from time to
tinie, are held at the city of Miako.
FOREIGN comm.
Until a very recent date the foreign com-
merce of Japan, for more than two centuries
Dutch. The Chinese trade is confined to Na-
gasaki, where a few junks arrive annually
from the ports of Amoy, Ningpo and Shang-
hae. The-Dutch were allowed to visit only
tory on a small island called Desima, in which
twelve or thirteen merchants li'ved, closely
”watched by the Japanese, and allowed very
little liberty. Two ships were annually sent
from Batavia. Their cargoes consisted chief.
ly of sugar, ivory, tin, lead, bar-iron, fine _
chintzes broadcloths‘, shalloons, silks, cloves,
tortoise-shell, drugs, spectacles, looking-glas-
ses, watches, and various herbs and roots to
which the Japanese ascribe medical virtues.-
The chiefarticlcs of export were cofi'ee, cam-
phor, lacquered goods, porcelain and rice.—{
In 1846, the imports of the Dutch into Japan
amounted to only'892,446, and the exports
to $220,927. Iii 1852, however, American
diplomacy. succeeded in removing the restric’
tions which had for centuries hampered the
foreign intercourse with J span, ‘ and many
ports have since been opened to external
commerce. The articles most in use among
prints, calicoes, fiannels, camlcts, small pat-'
red shawls, glass-ware, mirrors, drugs, ivory,
muskets, and cheap clocks and watches.—
The most profitable exports thus far are pro
camphor, vegetable oil and wax, lacquered
ware and copper.
JAPANESE MONEY. S
The chief obstacle to profitable trade since
the opening of the ports has proved to be the
the subject of the currency. The money of
Japan consists of a great variety of gold, sil-
ver and copper coins. The largest gold coin
is the obang, which is 6 inchesinlength, 3 1-2
in breadth, and is worth abopt $100. It is
not in common use. The largest geld coin
in ordinary circulation is the cobang, which’
is 2 1-2 inches in length, and 1 1-2 in breadth.
It is worth about $7.50. A still more comy
mon coin is the itzibue, which when of gold
is worth intrinsically about $1.75. The silo
var itzibue is the common silver coin, and is
worth about 20 cents. A new coin has re
centiy been issued, called alnichon, which is
worth about half a dollar. But foreign coins
have not been allowed to circulate among
the people at all, and foreigners have been
compelled to exchange their own money for
Japanese coins, at a valuation which hasren-
dared it verydifiicnlt to carry on a profitable
trade. Arrangements, however, have been ‘
recently made, which it is supposed will rem-
edy these dimculties.
SCIENCE AND ART.
cultivated medicine, astronomy and mathe-j
matim. Superstitions prejudices have pre- i
vented them from studying anatomy by dis-3
section, and they, therefore, have little skill;
in surgery, but, as physicians, they succeedf
better, and are able to cope with the most;
dimcult and dangerous diseases. The medi-g
cal men who have visited Japan under theg
auspices of the Dutch speak favorably of the;.
skill of the natives, and of late years the;
study of European books has led to a rapid:
improvement in the healing art. Among;
their inventions are acupuncture and moxaf
burning, both of which, though now supersei
ded by other processes, were long practised
in Europe, into which they had been intro-I
duced from Japan. Their most remarkahld
medical discowry, however, is that of a pow?
dcr called douas,‘ which is reputed to possess
great beneficial power in childbearing, “for
diseases of the eyes, and other maladies—é
Taken in perfect health it cheers the spiritd

sing effect is to restore a dead human body td
as great a degree of flexibility as it had when

es into the ears, nostrils and mouth of the

is placed in a tab, 3 feet high,,2 1-2 feet in die
ameter at the top, and 2 feet at the bottom.-.
Titsingh, President of the Dutch Factory for
many years, and a man of intelligence and
high character, declares that he himself who
nesscd the operation performed in October,
1783, on the body of ayoung Dutchman, who
had died in thefactory at Dcsima: “I direCo

Next morning several Japanese, some of the
officers of Our factory, and «myself; went to
examine the corpse, which was as hard as a
piece of wood. One of the interpreters
named Zenby, drew from his bosom a pocket
book, and took out of it an oblong paper,
filled with a coarse powder resembling can
