The Treaty with Japan. ~The Alia California has news from the 'Sandwich Islands to May 21st. The U. 8. Sloop of War Saratoga, Capt. Walker, ar- rived at Honolulu on the 29th April, in 25 days from Japan, being the shortest passage ever made. Capt. H. A. Adams, U.S. N., bearer of the despatches from Com. Perry, came in the Saratoga to Honolulu, whence he sailed to California on the Wavelet, on the 16th May. He brings the treaty con- cluded with Japan by Com. Perry, on March 28th, at Kennegawa, near the city of 'Yedo. The Alta Calsfornia says:-- "We learn from Capt. Adams that the Treaty is not.to take effect. till the end of one year from its date, but that in the meantime vessels will be allowed to enter at the two ports which are to be opened for the purpose of procuring wood, water, and such supplies as the country affords. It is certain, however, that the laws of Japan will be rigidly enforced against any trade before the time specified in the treaty." The Japanese are a people who have a strict regard for the solemnity of laws and forms, and they will insist that the portion of the treaty in regard to time shall be obeyed to the letter. _ We learn that there is one important sti- pulation in the Treaty, of which we had not been previously advised, and which is highly. advantageous to our government. | It is to the effect that should the Japanese Govern- ment hereafter make any treaty with, or grant any privileges to any other power, the United States shall enjoy the benefits of such a, treaty or grant, by virtue of the present treaty, and without the necessity of any further negotiations. A coal depot will be established at Simoda, for the convenience of steamers running from California to China, and the Japanese agree to supply whatever quan- tity of coal may be required. --_--_--_--«8 ; Death of Kossuth's Sister. 'Madam Mezlenyi, one of the sisters of the illustrious Hungarian Kossuth, died at New York on the 29th ult. Her disease was consumption, the seeds of which were laid on that night in the winter of 1851, when she, with the other members of Kossuth's family, including her aged mother, were dragged through the streets. of Pesth, by the Austrian soldiery, because the govern- ment.of a tyrant was so weak that the. pre- sence of a few women was enough to make it fear for its own existence. 'l'here were two other sisters of Kossuth buried at the same time, Madame Ruttkai, and. Madame - Zulavsky. From a want of knowledge of the language, and a knowledge of business, 'these ladies have had to struggle very hard, being determined to support themselves without appealing to the sympathies of friends. The EHvening Post says, Madame Mezlenyi "was induced by her necessities and her love of independence to disregard the warnings of her physicians, and, in spite of the cough which she had brought with 'her to this country, she would sit up with her work late at night, and between fatigue and anxiety of mind she rapidly brought her 'disease to a eris:s. She had no wish to live, and was fully prepared to die. Death pro- bably never approached a bedside armed . with fewer terrors. She leaves two child- ren, both daughters, one about eleven and one about thirteen years of age, to the care of her sister Ruttkai. 'This lady's husband is living in Austria, but he has been forbid- den to come to her, or even to send her any means of support.. She was obliged by her own exertions in the business to which she betook herself, to support her own family, consisting of herself and three child- ren, and for the last year the family of her now deceased sister, whose sickness unfitted her for any kind of toil. Such is tyranny, which a few poor de- fenceless and unarmed women can affright and shake with fear, though four thousand miles distant. The Austrian despot would starve them to death even here, if it were in his power. Attempt to Fire a Store in New York, ~~. by its Occupant. _ We learn that a party of policemen on Thursday night, hearing a noise in a storage "warehouse, No. 147 Front street, occupied by Mr, Charles A. Peverelly, and finding the shutters unfastened, entered the building to capture the supposed burglars. Going up 'stairs, they found Mr. Peverelly himself and his brother Theodore, a lad of fifteen years, whom they took into custody. On examin- ing the building, they found preparations 'which make it pretty clear that the intention of the occupants was to fire the building. 'These preparations were mostly found in the cellar, and on the several floors of the rear building. The windows of the upper rooms were stuffed with cotton, apparently for the purpose of preventing the escape of smoke, until the fire had attained such head- way that it could not be discovered in time to be extinguished. Handfuls of cotton, saturated with turpentine, were » scattered about the floors. In the middle of one room a heap of cotton, hempen tow, and. strips of pine board, was found wet with the same in- flammable liquid, and having pieces of candle stuck upon it ready to be ignited. A piece of lighted candle was found stuck in a pile of combustible stuff in the cellar, and it was ob- »vious that if it had not been discovered with- in five or ten minutes, and promptly extin- guished, the whole building would soon have been in flames.--V.

" The Cholera Committee of the Royal College of Physicians have received from various quarters applications for some plain directions calculated to be of 'service to the cholera, when medical advice may not be immediately at hand, and before such advice can possibly be obtained." ane iaados " For this reason the committee deem it right to offer to the public some instructions, which, on account of an extended * notifica- tion' having been issued by the General Board of Health on the 20th of September, 1853, may be brief, and are' in 'ho case in- tended either to supersede the necessity of having recourse. as, speedily .as possible to further medical assistance, 'orto impose any authoritative restriction on medical practi- tioners. " DURING THE PREVALENCE OF CHOLERA." "1. No degree of looseness of the bowels should be neglected for a single hour. Me- dical advice should be at once sought when the looseness begins ; and, previous to the arrival of a medical attendant, some of the medicines at other times used for checking diarrhcea should be taken--for example, the chalk mixture ; the compound cinnamon powder ; or the 'compound chalk powder: with opium, in doses of from 20 to 40 grains for an adult. "2. No saline aperients or drastic pur- gatives should be, taken without the advice of a medical man. "3. Intemperance in eating or drinking is highly dangerous ; but the moderate use of vegetable as well as animal food may be re- commended ; and, in general, such a plan of diet as each individual has found by experi- ence to be most conducive to his health; for. any considerable change in the diet to which a person has been accustomed is seldom ad- visable during the prevalence of an epidemic. "4, Debility, exhaustion, exposure to damp, render the poor especially subject to the violence of the disease. 'The committeee urge upon the rich the necessity of supplying those in need with food, fuel, and clothing. -- "5. The extreme importance of removing or counteracting all impurities, whether in the air, water, or soil, as by ventilation, cleanliness, and the free use of the chloride of lime or chloride of zine cannot be too strongly insisted upon. " Lastly, smce. the reports. made 'to. the College of Physicians show that of the per- sons who were engaged about the sick in the last epidemic the number of those who were attacked by the disease was, in pro- portion exceedingly small, the fear of infec- tion may be practically disregarded. . "The committee forbear to dwell upon the extreme importance of providing medical attendants at dispensaries for the treatment of the diarrheea among the poor: of organizing 'in-every district affected by cholera what is called the system of house-to-house visita~ tion ; and of establishing temporary hospitals for the reception of patients who cannot be properly treated at. their own 'houses 3 be- cause these measures have been strongly and properly enforced in the ' notification' pub- lished by the General Board of Health." » Brutal. " Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn," The most unfeeling and inhuman action which has ever come within our knowledge, was committed by the Captain of the steam- er Michigan--St. Louis and New Orleans packet--last Tuesday night. On her trip from New Orleans to this place, the cholera broke out on deck, and numbers of the deck passengers were buried. When she landed here, she had on 'board we are informed, some fifteen or twenty cases; and one, an Irishman, pretty far gone. This man. was commanded to leave the boat and was ac- tually ¢hrust ashore without reason. or right. He got back on the boat, begged them to Ist him remain there--he was dying--was in a strange place--could get no accommodations, anda dreadful storm was coming up; but his entreaties were of no avail. Twice did he get on board that boat, and twice was he peremptorily commanded to leave her. He did leave. He crawled up the levee and laid himself down to die. It was late at nicht, and few if any of the citizens knew anything of the transaction. We are told that one or two applications were made for | shelter for the poor:man, and were refused. We can hardly credit this--we can hardly believe that. any man could be so unfeeling as to deny shelter to a fellow-creature, and that fellow-creature dying from want. of at- tention. Be that.as it may, the man laid out of doors all night, and during one of the most terrific thunder storms we have wit- nessed for a long time. He died the next morning about nine o'clock--died like a beast. For the credit of the town we should suppress this announcement; but as. faithful chroniclers of passing events, we feel bound to give it publicity. ab ama from the Michigan, as related to. us, are cor- rect, the man who commands her should be discountenanced and shunned by all men of feeling or refinement, and held up to public loathing and contempt, there to remain ; " Through ages yet unborn, Fixed statue on the pedestal of Scorn."

We took occasion to notice a few days since, the resolution reported by Mr. Slidell, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, proposing to give to Englasd and France notice of the abrogation of the treaty stipu- lations by which we are bound to keep a naval force upon the African coast for the suppression of the slave trade. We stated then our approbation of this measure, from the conviction it is onerous to our country, destructive to onr seamen engaged in this service, and utterly inefficient for the pur- poses intended. . We also approve it for an- other-reason, which we will state with per- fect frankness to the people of this country. We have no sympathy in the purposes of this convention, and no wish for its success, and we think the time has come to speak out upon the subject. To practise slavery and yet suppress the slave trade--to con- tend that, slavery is of advantage to the races which concur in its existenee, and yet resist the efforts by which the advantage is extended ; to urge that the union of unequal races is necessary to the progress of human society, and yet resist the means by which that union is effected, is a cortradiction which human ingenuity can never reconcile; and yet to such a contradiction the southern section of this country is compelled in every effort which looks to the discountenance and discouragement of the traffie with the coast of Africa by which the limits of this insti- tution are extended. That there is no moral wrong in slavery is the assumption which lies at the very base of that institution. It is the principle we establish when we show that both races | are better under the influence of this insti- tution than they are without, and in fact, the intelligent mind of the South is fast approaching the conclusion that slavery-- the union of unequal races in the constitu- tion of a soclal system--is the normal con- dition of human society. It is fast becoming the belief that to advance, society must be composed of two classes--the one to direct, and the other to labor--and that to the permanence of society in positions of advancement, there must be a division in its numbers; and not that division simply which springs from the necessities of the case, where one part is held above its natural position by the acci- dent of wealth, where the other is depress- ed below its natural level by the accident of its absence--but a division which is natu- ral, and which necessarily results from the inequality between the races which are brought together. In this belief we hear- tily concur. The benefits and advantages which so far have resulted from this institn- tion, we take as lights to guide us to the brighter truths of its future history. No nation on earth has been so favored as have been the people of these Southern States. None has so increased in wealth and num- bers--none has been so free from domestic In none has the laboring class been so happy and so free from physical suffering, and in none, between the higher and lower classes of society, has there been so much of kind feeling and so much of mutual solicitude and dependence. 'To bask in the brighten-. ing beams of such an institution, to defend it, to praise it and pray for its continuanee, and yet contribute ships and soldiers to pre- vent its extension and its spread to others than ourself, is searcely defensible upon any reasonable principle of human action. een a Feelings of a Woman, How extensive and profound is the im- pression that has every where been made by the official kidnapping of Anthony Burns in Boston, and removal at the point of the bayonet, is forcibly illustrated by the fol- lowing extract of a letter from one who, long since retired from publie conspicuity, once occupied a distinguished place in the anti-- slavery struggle, namely, Angelina Grimke Weld, wife of Theodore D. Weld, and. daughter of the late Hon. Thos. 8. Grimke, of Charleston, South Carolina. Writing to an esteemed friend in Brookline, Mass., she says :-- 'But, dear brother, how utterly insignifi- eant do all our personal affairs seem to be, when compared with the mighty interests which are at stake, and the great crisis which seems to be inevitably approaching our country and the world! . The passage of the Nebraska Bill, though expected, nevertheless falls heavily upon every heart which beats for liberty. It seems to have aroused the slumbering North as no other slave enactment ever did before. The scales at last b<ve fallen from the blind eyes of thousands, who could not, be reach- ed by anything that abolitionists have. said about the over-reaching and grasping cupi- dity of slavery. The arrest of fugitives is the natural re- sult of such a triumph in Congress; and although the shedding of human blood is utterly abhorrent to my mind, as barbarous and unchristian, yet the tame surrender of a helpless victim up to the fate of the slave is far more abhorrent; as slavery is equally, if not more, abhorrent to Christianity, than murder. In this case, it seems as though 'we are compelled to choose between two evils, and all that we can do is to take the least, and baptize liberty in blood, if it must. be so. I confess that I would rather see twenty men killed than one poor fugitive returned into bondage: and I bless God that there were a Parker and a Phillips in Bos- ton, fearless enough to utter the sedition they did in Faneuil Hall. Oh! that there were in every Northern city men as true, as bold as they were; and I sincerely hope that the arrest of every fugitive may be contested even unto blood. Not another slave should ever be surrendered. Liberty | has too long been tampered with by those who professed to stand as a body-guard around her. It is time that the alarm-bell was rung through the Northern States, and that the holy resolution was solemnly, uni- versally adopted, that, cost what it may, no fugitive from slavery should ever go back from Northern soil. But you may say a civil war must be the result of such a course. Yes, it would be; and if we cannot dv our duty to the oppressed millions of our coun- try and the world without war, let it come, both servile and civil: for I now entirely despair of the triumph of J ustice and Hu- manity without the shedding of blood. A temporary war is an incomparably less evil than permanent slavery. _ To surrender my own life to brute force is a bounty I may bestow upon the ruffian, if need be; but to surrender the flying fu- gitive, who confides to my hands that liber- ty which is dearer than life, is cowardly. treachery to the trust he reposes In me ; and I thereby prove myself unworthy of his confidence as aman and a brother. Dol amaze you by such a declaration of war against the principles of peace? I amaze myself? for I have clung to them * with the greatest admiration and love; but it is so |}dear to my mind that we are now called upon to choose between slavery and war, and that the one is as much worse an evil than the other, that I have no hesitation as to which of them I am most sacredly and solemnly bound to choose, War, tempor- ary war, rather than interminable slavery! We talk about the desperate struggle which is before Europe; but, oh! is there not as desperate and bloody a struggle be- tween us? Is the Slavery of America bet- ter than the Serfdom of Europe? Is the Autocrat of Russia any more bent upon the murder of Liberty in the Hast, than the Slaveholder is in the West? Can emancipa- tion be effected here at any less price than it will cost there? Surely not! For the spirit of despodism is the same everywhere, whether it be in Austria or Carolina. It is the same in the Great Beast, diverse from all others, which threads down the poor and helpless, in every nation under heaven, and grinds them to powder. A Beast, in- deed, too low in human development to be reached by the melting rays of truth and love. It is indeed gratifying to find that civili- zation has so far progressed as to refuse to is- sue Letters of Marque; but humanity has been so long and so grievously outraged, that I fear Revenge will do its utmost in this great battle for the right-- Boston Libe- rator. ---- ~~ 2-2 @> Paw John Mitchell, who escaped from Austra- lia, speaks in this wise of Bostonians who do not like the " Fugitive Slave Law" : " To compel a lazy, woolly-headed negro, to return to his master, and to work for a living, is the highest crime known to the ' higher laws.' 'But if the TRAtrors only received their desert in this world, the position. to which they would be elevated is a gallows higher than the steeple. We rejoice that so far the majesty of the law has been vindicated, even at the point of the bayonet, but it would receive a higher and more salutary vindica- tion, if the REBELS HAD BEEN SHOT DOWN LIKE DOGS,, and to this complexion tt must come at last !"" -- If it is right, according to the code and principle of conduct advocated by this rene- gade to freedom, to have the " Rebels" of Boston " shot down like dogs," what treat- ment ought the Irish rebel to receive for his attempts to procure better or worse laws ; and if it is right to compel a man to go back into slavery, without a jury, what treatment should be meeted out to Mitchell himself, who ran away from confinement where he was not compelled to work?

A degree of attention has of late been directed yo the condition of the Fugitive Slaves resident in Canada, but. comparatively little information concerning them has reached the public. 'The presence in this country of the Rev, Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada to make the case of these Refugees more generally known, has caused a number of Gentlemen to form a Com- mittee, for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on theirarrival in Canada, from the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from thirty thousand' to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have annually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto, and other places along the Canadian frontier, that is, along a boundary of some seven handred miles, they are usually destitute of every thing, having generally fled stealthily, and with- out making much preparation for flight. They undergo numerous privations on their painful and wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the way, not only through the Slave States, but through the Northern, or nominally free. At any point, if overtaken, or discovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which 'the ordinary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as a warning to others. Hence, during their flight, they are ina constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the Canadian frontier, usually fall inte a condi- tion of bodily and mental prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. Being strangers, destitute of the commonest necessaries, and.in some instances, suffering from temporary illness. and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, and a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until they procure em- ployment and can support themselves. This necessarily entails a very considerable expendi- | ture, which these Societies are not in a position to meet to the extent to which their aid is needed. It is not only an interesting fact, but one which should be emphatically dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind is in-great demand, and the Society being kept duly informed of the parties who are in want. of labourers, they sel- dom fail to procure employment on.advantageous terms. In no instance within the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought to be raised is therefore not. intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until they have sufficiently ALPE RIE 2 RURRE TERE TS recovered from fatighe to avail-themselves of the | advantages of abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direet and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American Slavery. The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of 'them fugitives from slavery. Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held them as chattles, and to those who hold that the slave requires to be prepared for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle of a people: just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting.as free men, successfully and honourably with other labour. Further, as there exist in Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the progressive inprovement of the coloured population is gradually undermining and destroy- ing this feeling, their improvement affords a prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro fur self-advancement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the unreason- ableness of the prejudice against him Lastly, his social elevation by his own industry and enter- prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous- ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the slaves themselves are concerned ) and the perfect capability of the negro to live and to advance under the same government and upon terms of political and social equality with the Anglo-Saxon raise, or any other of the one great humrn family.

Chequered Warehouse, Be sha ion Toronto, May 3, eee Os ae To th: Free and Independent, Elector? of the City of Toronto, and all Electors of the City. so, eee aT Be. the sudden and unexpected dissolution o Parliament, you are shortly to be called upon to exercise the invaluable privilege' of again choosing two fit and proper persons. to represent your interests, and guard your rights in the As- sembly. And having been requested by a large -- number of the Free and Independent Electors to come forward as a Candidate for your suffrages, I have consented, in consequence of the absence of my kinsman, your late member, to offer myself to your consideration. AP SVT: PERE _ Mr. Boulton would, doubtless, have been here had the Election come on at the time it was ex- pected, namely, this autumn; and assuredly would have met with that hearty su pporr wien he has ever had, since he was first entrusted with the guardianship of your rights, despite of his enemies, who fortunately were powerless, Had. he been here at. this crisis, | feel confident: he would have never been a parly to any conven- tion, to settle who should be the men to ran on. the Conservative side,unless that convention had been formed ina legitimate manner, and some _ respect paid to the judgment and rights of the masses. No, Gentlemen, he would have spurned, as I did, so unjust a movement as that by which the Electors are told, that the Candi- -- dates chosen at the so-called convention, are to -- be supported by'a party.. ee Now, Gentlemen, [ admit the propriety of union, in order to ensure success, but that union must be properly brought about, and must in erdef to make it work successfully, be cane on individuals who command the confidence of the majority of the Electors, and without any chiselling--(for, report says, we have had eo much of that in the late administration, whom I consider constitutionally dead, and only holding -- | office now for the purpose of continuing that cor- ruption, already begun, and hitherto so suecess- fully carried. on--which the command of each and all the Government influence at their back, will enable them to do with a greater prospect of suecess)--not by a few intimate friends of four or five candidates for the honor of representing you in Parliament. ETRE. RI _ Gentlemen, this is a question in which you are all interested, and have a right in some fair man-: ner to be heard, and I trust you will show your- selves sufficiently Canadian not to submit to usur- pation. A clerk in. an office, a house and collec- ing agent, a paid editor, a bank.agent, anda partner, appointed without your knowledge or authority, are not delegates to settle your rights or tell you who you are to choose as your repre- sentalive. Gait ora dy Teeter Gentlemen, the importance of this city renders -- it necessary that you should puta stop to any-_ thing like seizing upon you and carrying you off -- in the excitement and without reflection, because 'a few men without consulting you, tell you itis -- decided. I tell you it is not decided, and it can -- only be decided at the Polls. ie ee ee It has often been said by men of a certain -- stamp, " we can get the men of influence, and the monied men to sustain us, and therefore must -- succeed." This is all nonsense, Gentlemen, un- less these monied men take some siterea ii the prosperity of our city, instead of counting their -- cash so often, and spending so much time-in cal- culating the interest, or looking over their rent | rolls, Jet us see them investing, at all events, some portion of their wealth, in public improve- ments and in manufactures. But no, there is an apathy in such men, that prevents them in this place apparently from doing anything with their means, except making the sum larger, without doing a particle of good to the city, or any one in it. yn ages Se ee Now, this is not as it should be, as almost-all of them have made their entire wealth in this place, and in fact the only man of fortune in 'Toronto who is improving it extensively, is a-- gentleman of enterprize and spirit, who has just -- come amongst us, and has not got the narrow ~ contracted idea of adoring the "everlasting Dol- _ lar" in bright form and neat stamp; but prefers seeing it in cut stone, bricks and mortar, and -- turned to some use for the benefitof man. Asa Candidate for your favour, I shall state my firm attachment to British supremacy and British connexion. Maem ge br titer esc Pe I will, if chosen by you, as a Representative for the ensuing Parliament, watch over and | guard your interests, as faithfully, zealously, and preservingly, as I have ever sought to do in the discharge of my professional duty; and after declaring that I will-at all times advocate the most stringent measures for the observance of -- everything adverse to chiselling, either in the House or out of it, and of all cant, claptrap and hypocrisy. if I fhe BEG BO I beg leave to subscribe myself, . ..
