RICHMOND, VA
niCRKDAY MORMNfI, NOVEMBER 3. 1833.
Tae Japan Expedition.
The Intelligence published in the VispcltA, cn
i hundaylaat, lo regard to the reception or Com.
modore Peri-y by the Japancae author! iea, Utnuch
more agreeable and fatteriog to the prospect of the
F'xpedhion than wa» antii Ipated.
According to this intelligence, Commodore Per.
ry* interview with the first Councillor of the Em
pire, nod the subsequent interviews of the Govern,
or and Depuy Governor of L'raga, with the tfS
cers of the Commodore's Staff and the commander
of the were marked by great civil*
i y on (Kith file#; and notwithstanding the repeal
led concessions which the Japanese made to thud e
mttnds of Commodore J'erry, they are said to have
been very cordial and friendly in their intercourse,
aod to have tcken their final leave with a show of
real regret. During the stay of the tquadron, some
Jnpaue-e officers were on board the flag chip, and
gsve and received a number of presents. Unoffi
cial information was received that it is quite pro
bablethe Emperor will send a favorable answer to
the President. Another important feature of this
intelligence i?, that attiie 1,00 Cboos, Commodore
Perry established ncoal depot for hU Fquadrou.—
These i-lands, which pay tribute to Japan, have
hitherto allowed no intercourse with foreigners, ex
cept to n very limi'ed extent, but have confined
their commerce entirely to Japan and China. Hav
ing consented, however, to trade with the Ameri
can squadron, supplies of coal huving been bought
and paid tor, and a lot rented for the United States,
at $15') per snnuto.it h more than piobable that
their trade will remain open hereatter to tLU coun
try and to the world.
These results are certainly more than we had a
right u> aoti ipaU'af the very beginning of our in
tercourse vvi:h a people whose commerce hna hith
erto b«en hermetically sealed apaiust the civilized
world. The Loudon Times indeed suggests that
the object of the Japanese authorities in postponing
an taiswer to the President's Address 13simply de
lay, and that on Lis return, Commodore Perry will
find everything prepared lor a hostile reception.—
But it appears that the delay was at Commodore
l'er:y's own suggestion, who stated that in order to
pivsthe Japanese Government ample time for de
liberation, he would depart in threo or four day?,
and return ia a few months to receive their reply.

Newspapers and tnsir Influence.
On this subject the New York Times expresses
the opinion tbat the moral and social sentiments of
the press of the United States argue a fair average
of found health and vigor. The bad newspaper*,
remarks the Times, those that agitate the settled
questions of houeenold laith and morality—pry in
to the sanctities of private life—minister to deprav
ed appetites, and shock delicate sensibilities, are
few in number, and are so distinctly marked and
fairly denounced by public sentiment, that they do
not long continue to circulate.
Jottice to the Laborhrs.—in the general joy
and enthusiasm excited by the Fair, let us not for.
get the important services of Gen. W* H. Rich
ardson, to whose efforts we are iu a large degree
indebted lor the success of the exhibition; nor
should we fail to award the meed of praise due the
zealous exertions of his son, Wat. H. Richardson,
jr. Doth have been untiring. Mr. Chaslks B.
Williams, too, is one of the most industrious mem
bers oi the Society. He has rendered the most
important services to it and to the cause of Agii.
culture. Wo feel that so general is the acknow
ledgment of the services of these gentlemen, that
no one will regard this notice as invidious.
Madam 2 Sontag's Concert.—'The Concert cf
Madame Henrietta Sontau ana her distinguished
assistants will take place to night at the African
Church. The fame of Madame S. id so general, and
her great vocal accomplishments so well under
stood that it b unnecessary for us to sjy much about
them. Indeed, it would be ridiculous for us to set
seriously about praising Sontag at this day. Of
course, there will be a crowded and fashionable ao
dienco attracted to hear her. There was a great
rush for the $2 seats yesterday. To-day, the fl
seats will be sold.
Important to Wool Geowkjis.- We again

and tbe interest manifested greater. The number of
ladies present was larger, and of coarse the far
racra gay and pieudng to the eye thaa on the first
daj. The ladies gave to tbe exhibition m tborcugh
ini.:«tlgaden— not stopping at tha beautiful speci
mens of the handiwork of tbe gcnt>» dames of their
State, butokserving with aorioaity thwe things which
belong to the province of tiic ruder sex, and taking
an interest in the gtiaeral improvement, and in the
cause of agriculture, which at once displayed their
Intelligence and patriotism. We tuppc-ae there mait
have been about three thousand ladies present. At
the period when tbe crowd wus largest there could
not have been less than eight ihous&ad persons, and
very probably the number re«chod ten thoosacd.—
We doubt whether this multitude oonld have been
equalled—cartainly it could net hare been surpass
ed—for tbe deeoruia and good order which it pre
served. It was equally remarkable for the fine per
sonal appearance of the people who composed it,
and their good breeding and acurteons bearing. Vir
gio'.&ns are called vain and oonceivd. Weil, they
are, and they have cauaa to bo. Let any man who
viaiced the Kair yesterday aettla Van question in his
onn mind—let him consider the oouponenta of tha
aeeembly which he there had the opportunity to sur
vej—and then let him as!s himself—bava not thesa
Virginians cau»e to be proud t He will certainly cou
fess that they have. We are not disposed to make
any bones cf our vanity on this head, and shall find
no fault with tha vanity of oDy Ssats that can pro
duce such a CoLgreas of Parintrs, Planters, Mer
chants «nd Mechanics as wo saw jestorday zt the
Virginia Fair.
At the boar appointed, the Armory Band struck up
a march In its masterly style, in tho big tent, which
soon filled, and thousands were uuabia to gain
admission. The President of the Society, Ph. St.
G&orgr Cocke, soon appeared, esoorting Ozhrkal
Winfield Scott, who took a seat upon the plat
form. Ex-Presidbnt Tyler was aiso escrted to
the platform, The Orator of the Day, Jqhm R. Et>-

Ex-Tresident Tylkr was next called on:. He
expressed iho pridri arid gratification ha felt cn the
occasion. Ho boped tb£»t the moveraent was not to

th'ir hands to tbe ploa«h, not to tcra b-oi until their

Mr. Ecmvwd Bitpin was aiso forced to oome for

venerable farmer called forth loud applause. We
weretoa far from h m to bear what he said; bnt we
caught one sentence., and that was the hops thds the
glorious demonstration of the occasion would become
permanent; and we trust every Virg'uian echoe* this
sentiment.
General Scott was' again called, and again acknow

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
( Ckm tbnted.)
Horticcltcral Tknt.—ln the Floral

Rhododendron, Acacias, I.anr-sttDua, Melaleuca, Je«-

Aloes, Crassnlas, Secnpervivotn, Cestrum, etc., etc.
Also some fiue specimens of the new weepiug ever

duction anmugat us. bat one destined to rank high
among a 1 lovers of Howeii
Mr. Oo>s;'s basket of Dftlelias and Roses, not
withstanding he recent frosts, would have done
credit to au October exhibition, in this or aay other

strawberry plants, dahlia roo's, raspberries, arid in
fact ov.-rything in bis line, which he is prepared to
sell as cheap as they can be procuitd in the Northern
J aiatketa.
James Kennla exbibrited a large number of
cretchouse and ether plants, as did Messrs John

neither i-f -be gextleme'i were in attendance to pui t

' that they were greatly admired by the ladi-s. who

credit io the lady who execHt.d it, bnt to the isad'a
tion from which she hails. For one we thought it al
most perfect.
A chair, with a spleDdid bottom and bac*, embroid
ered by Miss Marg&rot McAdazn, of Richmond, was
also highly spoken of.
A for robe, maoafneturpd by Mrs. John H. Zim

fact that the skies of which it was composed, w*ro
these of domestic cats, and all of a color, added
gre&Uy to its novelty.

The " Witch's Eye," aceleb-ated bra&d of manu

THRILLING ACCOUNT OF THE DESTRUC
TION OF A COLONY IN MEXICO.
The N. O. Picj'/am of Oct 27, contains the fol
lowing:
The Wait <CUnio% publi-ho« a correspondence
giving the particulars of the destruction of the
French colony of Jicaltepec, on the £Bth ot
Iy a violent storm. On tiiat day, which was Sun
day, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a norther com
menced blowing, heavy clouds which hung about
the horiion bogan to spread and flew over tbe sky
with incredible swiftness. Then the rain com
menced falling with extreme rinlence. The north
er continues! blowing all night till tho following
morning, wi bout, however, having anything alarm
ing about it; the raio continuing in the meantime to
fall in torrents. At daybreak the wiod changed Hs
direction, veerins round to the east, and suddenly
commenced blowing with unparalled impetuosity.
In I&«thari half an hour, the whole village and ail
the residences In its environs formuig the French
colony, were completely destroyed, toe houses fall
jug as i: were by enchantment, with a shocking
Cr ?l is impossible to picm*e the general desolation
which presented Jfcelt to dating the frightful
■inchairiol element#. Distracted families, finding
tLeuualves without shelter, saw themselves every
inoureot threatened to be crushed under fallioc; ma
terial wl.i> h were sent fiyicg through the air, or
else to be thrown into the river by the f/ucts of this
ten itile hut ricaae, the like ot wiikh has never b»oa
seen in thnse parts. Not only did i:not sparo houses
but rushed with fury over the country and the
forijit, it tore np every tiing on its parage—cho
colate, cum, ccriVe, sugar ce.ne, &c, in sorh a raan-
Dcr that the eyo a lew minutea efterwaro's could
see nothing bu; immense plains where virgiti foresU
