Latelv, "the rest of mankind," outside the "land of the rising sun," have been more puzzled than crer to know how the revolution in pro gress is to end. Perhaps a better nnder- standing of the matter can bo had by a glanco at the past history of that Govern ment. From time immemorial, the few gleams of light npon the. internal condition of Japan that havo reached other nations, all went to show the Oovernment thereof to be that of tho Feudal system, in all its bearings.. Foreign intercourse, opened up some fifteen years since, has proved the conclusion correct. The Daimioo rp. and hare been, the feudal lords. In their own provinces, tbey have supreme authority over the lives and landed property of their fiefs, tenants, soldiers and serfs. History has always told ns, too, of an Emperor of Japan. Such there seems to have been, from what we can learn, for a thousand years. In fact, it has been a well organ ized government for as long a period as the present era. Some three hundred years ago, the Ty coon, who was Generalissimo to the reign ing Micado, or Emperor, by the aid of family alliances among the Daimios, and through disaffection towards his master, the Micado, usurped equal dictatorial pow ers with that potentate; and nearly all the executive power being already in his hands, he seems to have become the equal arid co-ruler of Japan without much more of a revolution than has overthrown his last successor. He made his office hered itary in his own family, and kept the Dai mios in subjection to himself by strength ening the strong and suppressing the weak ones among them. Whether Jte gave them the right of representation, by a Council called the Gorojios, in the affairs of gov ernment, we can not learn, but as the Council seems not to be a part of the newly restored Micado's scheme of gov ernment, we rather incline to believo that it was a creation of the Tycoonate, seeing it has probably perished with it. The first Tycoon, or as it is called in Japanese, Shoguun, was of the Tokugawa family, which, in the course of time, be came divided into three branches, the head of each becoming a Daimio in his own right tho Prince of Jlito generally taking precedence in the vacancies occur ring in tho Tycoonate. By statesmanship ; by overpowering numbers; and by the subtlety of which that race ia capable, the Tycoon so controlled the legislative acts of the Gorojios, that they made the Mi cado to be a mere creature of their power and purposes. Leaving lrim his title of rimperor, and giving him the supreme spir itual authority, they managed through him, as a check npon the Tycoon, to keep up a Dual government, which, as 1 have said, has ever been a puzzle and annoyance to all foreign nations seeking intercourse. The Micado's office has ever been heredi tary, with a Regency attached in case of minority or vacancy. This Regency ha3 also been hereditary in a Daimio's family attached to the interests of the Micado. 'The same sort of arrangement pertained to the Tycoonate, so that in times of con flicting opinions .or interests, there was always a way to get rid of the Micado or Tycoon without abolishing the office. This has frequently happened when there has been no immediate heir to either throne, iu which case, the House of Gorojios filled the vacancy by an election, confined, how ever, to one of the linear families. That this system should become complicated, and work its own downfall, seemed inev itable. In fact, it was so thoroughly in tricate, that had it not been supported by immense standing armies, kept by each of the Daimios-at Yedo, it would long since havo fallen to pieces. One year ago, or more, the Daimios were permitted to re side in their own provinces without re straint. Previous to that, they were com pelled to remain with their quota cf soldiers and all their families, for six months of the year at Yedo, near the Ty coon, and when absent their families wcre hcld as hostages for their return. Abolish ing this restraint was simply-removing the foundation of the wholo Tycoonate, with all its privileges and authority. Such was the General Government, which, in its rule, little affected the com mon people. Their direct welfare, or op pression, was, and is yet, in the hands of tho several Daimios. These Princes of ihcland were its absolute owners. Xo man owns a foot of land in Japan, except the Daimios. They place a ground rent upon every six feet square of it, and if regularly paid, any family or individual" may become the occupant of a certain portion, and his descendants after him, without the prospect of being removed by the landlord "raising the rent." Thi3 usage established the permanent class of agriculturists the primitive and most use ful class of all society. From father to son, the old homestead, with its ground rent to be paid in rice or other produce in specified quantity, has descended from earilest recollection : hence the attachment Japanese have to their own lovely land Merchants, or, rather, shop-keepers, be came a necessary outgrowth of increasing population, gathered as it is in innumera ble towns, cities and villages all over Japan. This class are lower in the social scale, or, rather, are so regarded by the ruling powers, who derive no direct income from them, but who make them the vic tims of extortion ad libitum, so that while they pay no taxes, they do pay an immense of tribute. This class are very numerous, so much so that you get the impression that it is Japan instead of England that is the "nation of shop-keepers." The necessity each Daimio was under to furnish his quota of soldiers -for the support of the Tycoonate, resulted in the establishment of an immense army of Yncniiins or two sworded gentry 5 000,000 of these were furnished the Tycoon, by the Diamios formerly resident in Yedo, the late Tycoon's capital. Beside litis immense army, there were at Rast three times -a3 many kept in reserve by the Daimios themselves for their own protec tion against the aggressions of their neigh bors. This privilege of being Yaconin is also hereditary, and has entailed npon Japan an unmitigated burden of oppres sion, idleness and outlawry. Add to theso the swarming troops of begging priests of their many religions; and the troops of professional beggars ; with the millions of laborers from day to day, the' blind by tho thousand, and the vast hordes of daughters these lower classes who afford revenue to the government, and misery and crime to themselves and patrons, take all these with a limited number of literati, teachers,' &c, and my readers can hare a fair esti mate of the population of Japan. The lower classes are all serfs, and at, the abso lute disposal of their Princes. Their gov ernment, however, is not directly oppres sive. There is no slavery in Japan, and as it teems with millions who must eat by their labor, and labor scarce, while food is never very scarce nor high, they manage to live ; but when sickness comes, though kindly treated by their friends, they court death rather than suffering, and many die as grass that is cut down. It will be seen that the political status of that Empire directly but little affects the common people, and as the Yaconins, Samouri and higher classes of government officials have each and all enough to do, to watch each other and take care of themselves, there is but little knowledgo of governmental affairs, among them and but little care who is Micado or Tycoon. Whether or not STOTSBAsm, the last Tycoon, purposely shaped events so a3 to end in the utter abolition of his office, we cannot tell ; but that his schemes tend ed so to overturn his authority no one doubted. He may have brought about the downfall of the Tycoonate, that he might eventually reign solo Micado or Emperor ! This much we do know, that from the hour that foreign nations made treaties with the Tycoon as Emfekor and called him His Majestv, to the complete overthrow of the Tycoonate and the es tablishment of a sole Emperor, was but a few short years. It came too as a legi timate resnlt of foreign intercourse. In October last. Stotsbashi attempted to sup press a rebellion at Osaca, of several of the southern Daimios, headed by Satsuma. Tho Tycoon was deserted on the battle field by one of his principal Daimios, and after four hours fighting fled with all bis forces. Satsuma had in the mean time, without the Tycoon's knowledge, taken possession of the boy Micado. brought his banner on to the field : at which the Tycoon quailed, fled to Yedo, resigned his Tycoonate, yeilded everything, and retired to a tem ple: there as a shorn penitent to seek absolution of the spiritual head of the Empire, the Micado. All tbt3 sounds like- a tale of Jack the Giant Killer's land ; but in detail quite surpasses that fiction. Tho Micado, or rather Satsuma, Chazshu and Toza in his name, quietly took pos session of the " open ports" and Yedo, and demanded the war vessels, and am munition of the forts, none of which had been delivered over at latest accounts by those of Stotsbashi's friend who still held them, and their troops were marching to the northern provinces, to subdue the allies of Stotsbashi, the late Tycoon, who had not yet submitted to the new regime. The latest accounts we have are that a battle between Satsuma's soldiers and those of Sendai and Idznl had taken place, north of Yedo, in which 200 of the for mer's troops were captured and slain. Whether the northern Daimios will, after this " thunder shower"' (as the Japanese term it) submit or continue their warfare, remains to be seen. Yedo is in possession of the Micado's troops and government. Their i3 no longer an army of the Tycoon, nor snch an office. The last incumbent counsels submission to the Micado, and he is now the only potentate with whom foreign rep resentative can hold relations. The Eng lish Minister has already presented his credentials, and others will follow. There is and has been peace at Yokohama and Nagasaki. Yedo has been said to be unsafe for foreigners, and Osaca known to be so. We shall next note the relations of this kingdom to Japan, and how tho revolution may affect them. D. J. L. Sir IV. Tlionipson. The discoveries of Sir Wm. Thompson In physical science have all been of a high or- aer, as no nas cmpioyea a proiouna Knowl edge of mathematics to bring to llirht manv of the laws which govern the universe. Of late .years, since more oi me laws oi neat uavc oecomc Known to rue scicniinc worm, strong reasons have accumulated tending to show that the light and heat of the sun are not caused by common combustion. "When a cannon ball strikes a target its motion is arrested, but heat is generated, and It has been mathematically proved, principally by rroiessor inompaon, mat ii a snower oi rocks and stones was constantly falling into the sun, the velocity of impact would be such that the heat generated from a sufficient quantity of snch missiles would fully equal the amount of beat and light known by ex periment to be thrown out by tbe sun. He has calculated the quantity of beat which would dc generated oy eacn one oi tne pian-' ets should it fall into tbe sun. and proved that the Impact of tbe whole of them would cause sufficient heat to cover tbe solar emis sion for hundreds of thousands' or years. The zodiacal light, that puzzle to philoso- phura, la believed to consist of a vast number or cosmicaisodlcs, revolving round the sun at a comnarttivclv short distance.- and con stantly falling upon its surface. One proof oi tnis is, mat tuc Planet venus, wnen in a certain position with respect to the sun and ilie earth, reflects more light than at other limes, ji aiso oocys lue laws oi planetary motion. Meteorites and rocks are known to be nlentlful In snace. csDceiallv in the orbits ef comets; moreover, Encke's comet, year Dy year, is drawing nearer to tne sun, ana is, therefore, expected eventually to fall into it There Is, therefore, reason to suppose that tho beat and light of the sun may be caused bycosmlcal bodies continually striking that luminary, and Professor Thompson has given mathematical evidence that the supposed cause, should It exist, Is competent to pro duce the effect. He has published many interesting papers upon the rigidity and probable interior con struction of the earth, and he has given a great impetus lo electrical science by unrav eling many of the laws which govern the" passage of electrical currents through long cables. This led to the invention, by himself and his colleague in the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise, Mr. C. F. Varley, of the ''curb key," a very novel and beautiful Instrument, for working through long submarine lines. Instead of sending, as usnal, one or two cur rents only Into the line to produce a staple signal at tho otber end, tbe curb key cuts the lightning into sbrcds, and throws five or more positive and negative currents into tbe cable to produce one signal. The advaptagc of this method Is that the many currents In different parts of the cable when tho signal Is made then neutralize each otber, so that tbe cable is Instantly ready for a fresh signal. Under the common system, a large electrical charge hangs In tbe cable for some little time, and In long cables this charge very se riously retards the speed of transmission. Telegraphic messages c;n not be sent so rap Idly through very long cables as tbrouch wires of the same length supported In the air by telegraph posts; Sir W. Thompson also Invented the reflect ing galvanometer, an Instrument much used In scientific research, also to receive mes sages sent by very weak currents through long cables. It consists of a little magnetic needle, usually only a grain or two in weight, suspended by a tibrc of silk. At a little dis tance it is surrounded by a coll of Insulated copper wire, "so that when a very weak elec trical current is sent through the coil, the needle is slightly deflected. The needle has a little silvered mirror of mica attached to it, and as the needle moves, so docs the mir ror. Of course, messages could not he read off by the scarcely perceptible- motions of the little magnet and mirror, so a ray of light passing through a hole is allowed to fall upon the mirror, which reflects a thin vertical line of light upon a horizontal ivory scale, about two feet off. Consequently, if the mirror only move a very little, the line of light two feet off will "move a great deal. Thus the messages through the Atlantic ca ble are read off by watching the silent move ments of a little tongnc of flame, which travels to and fro In a darkened rqom; and In this manner docs the Old World now speak to the New. It Is owing to Professor Thompson's reflecting galvanometer that messages can oe sent turougo lue Atlantic cable with snch low battery poWcr; and it is owing to Mr. Varicy's introduction of a thick copper-conducting wire into tbe cable that messages are now sent through It with a speed which is highly profitable to the share holders. In the face of great ridicule, Mr. Varley for years Insisted upon the necessity for thicker conducting wires iu cables, and Professor Thompson was one of the first, to come to his support In the hard battle against the preconceived notions of inferior electri cians. Liverpool Time. Mitiliapsi of u Temperance Lecturer. I bad occasion, not long since, to soend a few days at a somewhat smaller place in this State, where tbe temperance movement was at its height. A lecture on the all-absorbing subject was announced, the candles lit in tbe little square school-house, and the audienco assembled. A man about sir rect tall un folded himself, like a complicated carpenter's rule, upon the platform, and looked about him for some lime, trying to catch the eyes of bis bearers. These eyes aforesaid, at tbe time, were lost in the wrinkles of tbe orator's shoes, which projected from him in such a startling manner as to render it doubtful where the orator commenced and where the leather left off. His pantajoons struck him somewhere about midships between bis feet and knees, and his light, thin hair, stnek straight upon his head. Ho was, on the whole, the dry est looking orator I ever saw. His little eyes twinkled with a sudden bright ness. There was an old woman who, hav ing made the optical pilgrimage of his long person, commencing at his shoes, had arrived at bis face, and be began bis oration at her with a scalene gesture Of his'rcd'figbt hand. He had gained the attention of tbo audience, and went on and on, wanning -with bio subject. In an eloquent burst he exclaimed : "Intemperance is an evil-ran evil that cries out for reform. What has dissolves so many homes t what has left so many widows and orphans? I answer whiskey, which" "Here's to good old whiskey, Drink 'er down! Uere's to good old whUker, For it makes yon feel so fruity. Drink er down, drink 'er down, Drink 'erdownl" This popular melody rose from tbe stal wart throats of about twenty persons assem bled under tbe window, just on the outside of the little school-house. The effect was startling. The orator's- voice was drowned out by the multitudinous singers; bat be floundered on, like a ship in a stormy sea. Quiet reigned again, withont and within, and the speaker continued uninterrupted for about five minutes more. He began again to warm with his subject, " Intemperance."" He said, in another impassioned burst: "In temperance is a whited sepulchre that stalks about at night, crying and shouting"" Come, landlord, fill the flowing bowl, Until It does run orer. For this night wen merry, merry be. For this night we'll merry, merry be. And to-morrow we'll get sober." This was, of a truth, a little too much for the equanimity of tbe audience. A general haw, haw went the rounds of the bouse; even the old lady whose sympathizing eye was tho orator's first inspiration well, she laughed first, and then waxed extremely wroth afterwards. She would like to know how people would be allowed to interrupt the good cause In that way. A middle-aged gentleman, who rather enjoyed the scene, assured her that people were not interrupt ing tbe cause, but causing the interruption. Tbe old woman 'lowed she didn't see the difference The ralddle-aged gentleman whom I strongly suspect of being an accom plice of the- outsiders, from the knowing Iccr about him, and the significant pimples on his red nose this middle-aged gentle men furthermore assured the old lady that It served the long-legged hypocrite- (meaning the speaker) right, contending that he had better pay bis liquors bills before making "Thatgiftod, cjirinf man, owe for liquor f" " Yes, ma'iim." "Impossible! Did yon not bear blm say no man who drinks can be saved t" It don't make any difference, ma'am; he owes me three dollars and seventy-live cents for whiskey sours, which he has taken over the counter of my saloon." "Yon arc a impostor, slrl" and the old lady turned her elevated back upon the man of pimples. . Meantime the orator had been passing his long fingers Insanely through his long, dry hair, and shortly be launched forth again : "While some one steps out and requests those scoundrels to withdraw, I will con tinue mv remarks." Here.the middle-need Lgentleman went forth asd-quiet agate reigned wiinoui. a no spcaxor aweu now some lime on the horrors, the deep dangers at .tho bot tom or the flowing "bowL "Look at the drunkard's death-bed!" exclaimed he; "the parched lip, for which the bowl no longer brims with moisture: tbeehukiireve. fumed for the last time upon haggard wife add1 children; and, while tbe Death Angel is beck oning from tho Other Side, he bears the earnest prayer1 of the long-suffering partner of his bosom and" Let every young bacnelor nil up hu glass, Tire la compaenie And drink to the health of bis favorite lass, Vlie la compngniel' etc per. He waited till the tumult within and without the school-bouse had subsided: then ho demanded whether there was any law and order in that community. How long Is this sort of thing going to last? Whcq will these villains disperse t" While tho enraged speaker was pausing for words with which to brand such proceed ings, there arose, low at first, but swelling and gaining force, until It became almost deafening, this well-known chorus: e won't go Home tui morning, VTe won't-go home till morning. We won't go home till morning, .Till flarligbt does appear." It was of no use. Tbe loner, lank Demos- thenesc of cold water seized his hat and strode out into the darkness, and tbe meet ing (inside and outside) was broken up and dispersed. TnE Imsn Cncncn Speech op Mil Jons Bnion-r. On June 3d, Mr. Bright having accepted an invitation at tho Welsh National Reform Association to visit Liverpool during tbe annual catherimr which la held nt Whit suntide, in that town, addressed a crowded meeting, composca cnicny or natives of the Principality, in the Amphitheatre. He said that the Pconlc of Wales bad. on manv nrm. slons, shown themselves capable of great nsumuuu uuu punvra ox organisation ; ana now. that tbe nation was called unon to de cide, the greatest question ever submitted to It, he hoped it would not be settled nithnnt ilic voice of Wales being heard In its support. Auia question waa iuo ais-esiaonsnmenl oi tbe Protestant Church in Ireland, and apart from the natural sentiment in favor oTjusticc, the peoplo of Wales were, from clear politi cal and religions circumstances, most deeply interested in this question. For centuries, the Crown and tbo aristocracy bad governed Ireland, but there had been no real union, and, until very lately, nofgood government. For three hundred years, there had been but tbe principle of political and religious as cendancy, against which the Irish people had vainly protested. The result had been threo hundred years of misery, bloodshed, and in surrection. It was only under the Influence of the struggle with the American colonies that England had relaxed her cruel rule, and It was not till so recently as 1829 that her code of pains and disabilities was materially iciiucu, uuk uveu iu luia aay, tne rroiestant Establishment was tbo sign and symbol of that hated rule, and, If possible, of a still more hateful religious ascendancy. Hepolnt ed out the results'of.thls nollcv. which was not only seriously prejudicial to the greatest Interests or England, but In tho opinion of many wise persons, to the Btate Church it self. Whatever might be tbe advantages of a State Church, they could not be allowed to interfere with tho highest Imperial Interests, op tho sacred principles of equality nnd Jus tice; but there was no one out of Bedlam, or even in Bedlam, who would not, at the state of things In Ireland, fail to condemn a religious establishment so hateful and offen sive to the great bulk of the Irish people, whose sole aim and obicct was noil Ileal and not religious equality. Who was it that sup ported this state of things? It was the Tory party a party who had Invariably opposed every measue of justice and wisdom tflat bad been proposed for either'England or Ireland. Now, what was it that Mr. Gladstone, In his resolution, proposed to tIo? It was to reduce tbe Episcopal Church in Ireland to precisely tbo same condition that it was in Scotland and In the colonics, what the Wes leyan Cbuch was In Wales and In England, and the Free Church in Scotland. Having pointed out tiic results which would follow from the dls-cstablishmcnt of tbe Irish Church in promoting the peace and tranquility of Ireland and adding to tho strength and stability of the Empire, be called upon the people of Wales to do their share in obtaining this great success. Tbey had shown a remarkable organization in religious matters, and now they were called upon to exert the same qualities in a field hardly less Important. They were frugal, Industrial and most orderly as citizens.
