OR MEDICATED COMPOUND,
For Beautifying , Curling, Preserving, Restoring and
Strengthening the Hair, Relieving Diseases of
the Skin, Curing Rheumatic Pains, and
Healing External Wounds.
X><miidcd by no geographical lines, the reputation of Barry’s
”> Tricopherous pervades the Union. The sales of the arti
cle of late years have increased in a ratio that almost exceeds
belief. Professor Barry, after a careful examination of his sales’
book, finds that the number of bottles delivered to order, in
quantities of from n half gross upward, during the year 1852,
was within a triile of 950,000.
I It is unnecessary to present at length the evidence of the won
| derful properties ot the Tricopherous, when the public have fur
nished such an endorsement as this. The cheapness of the article
! and the explanations given of its chemical action upon the hair,
j the scalp, and in all cases of superficial irritation, first recoiu
t mended it to the attention of the people. This was all that the
i inventor desired. Every bottle advertised itsell. The effects ot
* the fluid exceeded expectation. It acted like a charm. The
i ladies would not be without it. Country dealears in every sec
* tion of the United States found they must have it ; and thus
] was built up a wholesale trade of an extent hitherto unheard ot
[as regards articles of this kind. The highest point has not yet
been reached, and it is believed the sales this year will be a
million and a half ol bottles.

[From the Washington Senlinei.l
Latest from the Japan Fxpedition.
We are under great obligations for the priv
ilege of publishing the following extracts from
a letter written by a prominent and distinguish
ed officer of the United States navy, to his esti
mable wife, resident in this city. Tho extracts
contain matter of interest and cannot fail to ar
rest the attention of our readers, although not
intended for publication, and written with the
freedom ‘and minuteness which always distin
guish such correspondence ; they will, therefore,
he pursued with more avidity than if prepared
purposely for the press.
Interesting from Japan.
Private, letter received from an officer of the
squadron dated U. S. steamer Susquehana,
off Oragatca, I'ruga, Bay of Jeddo twenty
Jive miles from the city of Jeddo.
Friday July S $853.
“Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.
Here we are in the harbor of Jeddo, after run
ning over nearly 30,000 miles of various seas
arid various climes—here, at anchor, four miles
higher up the bay than has ever yet anchor ship
bearing a Christian flag. We anchored at 3t\
and soon large boats rowed cheerily with
about twenty men, and in each some mandarins,
gentlemen, with i wo swords, neat and well dres
sed, came swarming off with determination fell to
come on board, demand the names, the nation,
and the intentions of the four craft thus coming
boldly in joy and calm. They were met with
a wavefof the hand, and ‘keep off’, no one allowed
to come oo board save the highest mandarin.’’ i
This literally took them all attack, hut they
clustered together and insisted upon admittance.
At last, a voice said in Dutch, “do you speak
Holland, se V Soon tlie commodore’s clerk,
j Mr. i’os inan, was in high confab.
|O** * * * *
Alter much persuasion on their part
| ami (heir insisting that one of them was j
| a high mandarin, the commodore ordered me j
I to put on my uniform, and to receive him and |
j the interpreter on board, and to represent him- {
’ roll ; saying that our mission is a friendly one.
We are the healers of letter from the President
: of the l nited States to his majesty of Japan ;
l that it was necessary to send on hoard a high I
■ mandarin to receive this letter and the sooner
i the better. Again I was to insist upon it that
boats should not lie by the hundred, near and
, around our ships, thus guarding and watching
, us, as had been their custom. The Columbus
Vincennes having from five hundred to one thou j
1 sand boats around them constantly all linked
’ together.) That we would not submit to this j
I hut would drive them them off. Mere you have I
! the basis of my instructions. Thus armed, I j
. took Mr. Mandarin and interpreter.with my two j
interpreters— Mr Williams in Chinese and Mr. |
; Postman, in Dutch—into the cabin.
After being seated a moment, Mr. Mathtrin
I arose made a salaam ala Japanese, and then !
i extending his hand we shook hands ; then seat- 1
ed ourselves, using Mr. Postman as interpreter, i
as the Japanese interpreter spoke Dutch fluent- I
ly. I thus opened : “ l’eil the lieutenant gover- 1
nor (for such was the madarin) that I am tho!
aid ol our chief, the admiral, aud ant instructed i
to speak tor him. Wc have come here on a
friendly mission, with friendly intentions, to!
deliver a letter from the President of the United !
Slates to your sovereign, the Emperor of Japan; j
that tlie letter is ready for delivery by 9 o’clock i
to morrow, to any mandarin sufficiently high to j
receive it.” To this was replied : “It. must be
referred to higher powers to know who can re
ceive the letter.” 1 then asked: “.flow long will
it take to give ns an answer?” “They could
not tell.” I said : i think the sooner the better
as we are anxious to be off.” The reply was
“I do not think it will take long and it was
then understood that in the morning a mandarin
would be. off to receive the letter.
“1 then emphatically said : ‘ The ship has j
i aboard the chief there is his pennant. Allmes- j
sages from shore must come here by a high j
mandarin. Vo boats must go to lire other ships ; j
their commanders have orders not to permit in- j
tercotirse ; they have no right to think, and must j
obey. W e insist that no boat* shall hang around j
our vessels to watch them.” This was not pa-|
l.itahie. They said : “It is J a pane- custom law
and we must carry them out.’’ Says 1 : “Tell
him, sir, that we too have our customs, and with
men of war one of the laws is that no boat
is allowed to come within a certain range.”—
There was no positive consent given as to w hat
they would do ; they evaded it by asking ques
tions. “Where are you from ?” From the
United States of America?’’ “Yes; but what
part, Washington, New York, Boston?” My
surprise was so great, that I smiled and told
him, “some from Washington, some from New
York, all parts ; that the President of too United .
States lived in Washington.” Wlmt is tho
name of the ship how many people guns iNc ‘?”
“Tell him, sir, that we are not traders, we seek
no trade, we are armed, ships, and our cuniom
is never to answer such que.-tions.”
The questions were again repeated in pretty
much tlie same way, whin i told Mr. J’. to
make tlie same reply, and to add that 1 have no
curiosity to know how man men tire either in the
Kmperor’s army or in his navy ; and also that
he could see for himself toat we had four ships ;
; that we had others in those wators. “When
! will the others come ?” “1 don’t know ; it de
pends upon the answer to the letter.” What
are the contents of the letter ?” “Tell him, sir.
that the letter is them the President to the Em
peror of Japan, ami it would he most indelicate
in me to inquire into its contents.’’ This rebuke
was received in an apologetic manner, and this
questioning dropped, f then alluded to the boats
which were still clustering around our shipsand
the other ships ; told him that it was absolute
ly necessary that they be kept off; this must he
done. ‘‘We shall be sorry, with our kind and
friendly feelings to you, to do you any harm
or to come into collision with you ; but, if you
do not order your boats -off’, we shall fire into
them and drive them off Our boats are now
armed and ready, and we cannot give you more
than fifteen minutes to give vour orders and
keep them off. At the end of that time you
must suffer.’’
Mr. Mandarin went out, told this to the boats
sent word to the other boats, and came in. ‘Now
I must have an answer. What have yon deci
ded about the boats ‘?’’ “1 have ordered them off
from all the ships and with orders only to com
municate with this.” “Yes, from all the ships ;
and if any come around you, send word to the
Governor and ho will punish them.’’ Thus was
this point, never before yielded, conceded. Af
ter a few more remarks, 1 bowed Mr. Mandarin
off, and he went on shore taking the boats off
with hifn.
My inverview with my friend was again renew
ed in the evening, and in rather a dilferent’phase
which does not promise to end so peacefully ;
but tounorrow will tell. At present lam too
tired, having been up all day from an early hour
—and here we are, too, our pistols loaded, our
swords ready at hand, armed men and sentinels
patroling the decks, guns loaded, and trained
and cast loose for we lie down to sleep to night
in the neighborhood of 10,000,000 of men
brave, enterprising, ready never conquered, it
behooves us to he watchful. So I will to bed and
rest. ***** *
Sunday, July 11, 12 M.—This hallowed day
of quiet lias again come around, and finds us ly
ing quietly at our anchors, enjoying a day of
rest; our broadsides upon the towns and forts
on the shores; our glasses watching the march
es and countermarches of their troops on shore
paraded by their different mandarins. The spi
rit of preparation for resistance and defence is
evidently ruling them. The sounds of many
guns away towards Jeddo come frequently
booming on the ear. The country is evidently
awake from its long slumbers of peace. What
excitement now in Jeddo! When, before has
warlike trumpet been sounded in her walls, “to
foot, to horse arm ?’’ “Hang out our banners
on the outward wall, the cry is still they come 1”
Long freedom, overbearing conduct to other na
tions, a conviction of their superiority, doubt
less tend to make these people proud, sensitive,
cbivalric, and brave ; but then again, a long
peace, and disuse to war and ils horrors, have
in a measure effeminated them ; the effects of shot
shell, and earnest lighting, will doubtless shock
them ; but yet, 1 think, they will resist bravely;
they are organizing with spirit, showing cautious
ness, hut no fear. Vet their downfall has com
menced from the Bth of July, 1853. Yes, this
day the cross waved above our colors, and un
der it we worshipped the Christian’s God, the ■■
Saviour. Yes, here, within twenty miles of the
seat of the haughty tyrant, who has caused for
centuries that emblem of mercy to be trampled
under foot by his heathen subjects.
Let me renew my narrative of the events of
tlie Bth. li! about one hour after the mandarin
left 1 again received him with directions not to
palaver much. In a long, windy, set speech,
lie said that the governor did not feel himself
justified in receiving the letter from the Presi
dent to the emperor—that he had not the power
—that Nagasaki was the place for the conduct
of all foreign affairs—that it was not Japanese
custom —that indeed the governor was much !
bothered to think why four ships should have !
come together—that he appreciated very highly !
the great trouble we had taken to come so very !
far to deliver the letter, but that he could not !
receive it. To which! replied: “The distance j
to be sure, was very long, and we had come a j
great way—that we could not think of going to j
Nagasaki—that letter was an important one, J
and that our President had ordered us to deliver
it as near the city of Jeddo as possible ; there- j
fore we were here, and i trusted that the letter 1
would he received in the morning.’’
To this be answered—“No one here can re- j
ceive it. It would bring liaini upon him— Na- j
gaskiis the only place—that he dal not believe
if tlie letter was received, that the emperor would
answer it.” To this ! replied—“ Does your ;
governor dare to take upon himself the response !
I.ility to refuse to receive a letter written to his j
sovereign, and to forward it to him ? It is a very
grave responsibility to refuse to receive tlie let- !
ter sent from one sovereign to another.” He
then said—“ The governor may receive it, but
we can’t tell when the answer may come but
then added “that lie had not the power to re
ceive it, and must wait and refer it.”
i replied that “this letter was a very important
one —that it would be a great insult to the Pre
sident of the U. States not to receive it. That
as to the emperor’s not answering it, that was
not oui-business now, that would be settled af- j
ter. ’ He said, “’Phis is Japanese custom ; you j
Americans don’t understand Japanese customs,” (
<Nc. I replied, “We Americans do business |
decidedly, promptly.’’ At this point I went out, i
and referred this new phase of the discussion to i
the Commodore, and by his order I broke up
the intemew, telling him “that if the governor
did not send oft’for Hie letter in the morning,
wo would ourselves deliver it in the town of
Orogama ’’ He was rather taken aback by this
decision, and-requested permission to come off
in the morning. To this 1 assented. He then
took his leave. Before going off. he stepped
hack to our long gun aft, which is all clear, aud
showing its massive proportions, and examining j
it, said, looking interrogatorily, “Paixhan ?” If
he lias an acquaintance with “Paixhan,’’ 1 trust
it is from reading and not from practice.
At six o’clock the next morning 1 was called
on deck to receive the mandarin ; so ! dressed
hurriedly and went up. There was the same
stery, but lie proposed to send to Jeddo for per
mission. We gave him until Thursday at 12
o’clock, saying, “If the letter was not received
we would regard it as an insult to the President,
and act accordingly.’’ So it rests.
July 17— One week has passed since! have
written a word, and a week of much excitement,
and great events. And here we are, thank hea
ven, safe ; and in nine days we have effected I
much—so much, that the world will he gratified, 1
and our country feel herself honored. We have
landed in Japan, within twenty five miles of Jed
do, with armed troops and armed men, and de
livered our credentials, and the President's let
ter, to commissioners—two princes, one a cotin
eeilor of the realm, and appointed by his Majesty
to receive us. But lam ahead of events, and
must more leisurely detail the interviews, ar
rangements, ivc., which led to an issue so happy, j
so peaceful, so desirable, and which havereflec j
ted much eclat upon the firmness and wisdom of
Com. Perry. He has certainly selected a course :
of conduct which reflects great credit upon him- i
self.
I left oft’ by telling you that we had given >
Tezemon, governor, or highest authority in Ura
ga, or by his other title, “the learned scholar :
who rides, 1 ’ until Tuesday, at 12 o’clock, to got ‘
an answer from Jeddo to other propositions; that 1
is, that the copies of the letters and credentials, j
with a letter of the commodore’s inclosed, were j
to be received by a high mandarin, accredited
by his master, to receive them. On Monday we
were to receive information front him of the
advancement of matters. On that morning he
came off quite pleased, and said that he thought
the letters would be received. By the by, we
showed him the letter, which is beautifully done ;
up in a case, and tlie seal enclosed in a gold box !
costing 81,000; so also with the commodore’s i
credentials. We had talked and palavered over
matters, answering many questions, and amongst
others, diplomatising about the propriety of
surveying the harbor, <fec., for in the morning
the boats well armed, with the Mississippi to
guard them, fiad preceded her up the bay, sound
ing, and had advanced ten miles nearer to Jeddo,
finding plenty of water, and a fine, large, capa
cious, magnificent harbor; when it has always
been supposed that Uraga was about as far as
vessels of any size could go, so great is the
mystery that hangs around this land,
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
On the advance of the boats, the forts were
armed, the dungaree and canvass screens, be
hind which rested the pikes of the soldiery, fair
ly flapped with anger, and armed boats with
about twenty-five men each started out from
every point by the hundreds, looking defiance;
hut onward went our little boats, throwing their
leads and marking the soundings, and steadily
advanced the Mississippi on her purpose. Our
steam was up, and all the vessels have short to
slip and run to their assistance, and throw in
Japanese forts, dungaree, cotton, boats and all,
a tew paixhan shell. My opinion is that for
these thirty-six hours, (and more particularly for
these six,) the Japanese hesitated whether or
not they should at once resist, and try with us
the fortunes of war. But so steady was our
determination, both in council and in conduct,
so utterly careless oi any action on their part,
so perfectly confident cl our own resources and
power, and so regardless of all danger, that
they were paralyzed, and prudent and friendlv
measures were decided.
It is well to remark here, that they have been
making the most extensive preparations of forts,
, ■> ,:ltel >’> as is evident by their new works and
1 onnT 3 et <inisllfc ‘ l - Doubtless, there are full
1,900 boats averaging with rowers and soldiers,
men. In these waters we have seen, and
could have counted, 500; some on the water
their banners flying, forty and fifty together;
others hauled upon the beach, ready to launch
out—at first mistaken for villages. But anew
*'>a is marked in their history; they have been
placed on the defensive, they dared not begin
the game, though 1 yet believe that any harsh
measures, on our part, of encroachment or in
jury would cause a determined and bloody resis
j ! : ”' C( N tl,e .V :ire a free, frank, pleasing', socia-
I ” le fr'' l,less people, and would stand bravely to
ihe slaughter. These traits may he expected
in a land u here “the wives and mothers are pro
vii hi, ill v virtuous” — the exception being the
runty and proving Ihe rule. Well will it be if
we can make these people our friends and our
allies. Yes, heretofore they have arrogantly
dictated to all others; but with us the game is
changed. M e have said :so must you do—this
is onr way. These steamers, too, moving with
out sails, against wind and tide, have struck, if
not terror, at least wonder and wisdom into their
souls.
Lnl to the interviews—this of Monday even
mg ended. Tuesday morning, about noon, they
again came off, and our “learned scholar,” evi
dently wore a more contented air- bye-the-bye,
Tezonion is a gentleman, clever, polished, well
informed, a fine large man, of most excellent
countenance, takes his wine freely, and is a boon
companion. His age is thirty-four. He told
us that the letters would be received; that the
Emperor was going to send down a high prince,
and a councillor Intake them. “When?”
•'Oil day after to-morrow. We are putting np
anew house to receive you, and it cannot be
ready before then; nor will the prince be down
u "til to-morrow.’’ it was now that we under
tood that they expected to receive the letter of
the President, and the commodore’s letter of
credence, instead of the copies of which it was
the intention to send first, reserving the last in
hopes of forcing an interview at Jeddo. This
was explained to them—when tne change that
came over them was plain—they persisted that
they had understood that.tho letters were to be
received, not ihe copies—the fear ol the permis
sion to lip himself up (tile Heri-Kasi) was evi-.
dent in his lace—yet the commodore persisted
in this point, and we sent him off to give notico
to higher powers that such was the fact.
lu the afternoon he again came, and tho com
modore at last agreed to deliver the originals
aud land at the placed fixed upon.
Thursday July 14.
Larly in the morning we dropped our steam
ers down and near in as possible. The bay is
nearly circular, with two small forts on each
point of the entrance. We went off in our boats
in all,) officers landsmen, and marines, 428
strong, armed to the teeth, each man carrying
with him the lives ot five Japanes. It was a
beautiful sight as we pulled in. We were in
sight of a hundred armed Japanese boats, with
banners Hying, averaging twenty-five men each ;
then on the shores ahead were stretched lines of
painted cloths, with vaiious mottoes, for a full
mile in length—armed men, and cavalry aud
artillery in trout, and human figures thick in the
rear. On advanced our boats and our little
hand landed ; drew up in line and formed, in all,
on shore, 350 men leaving 80 in the boats.
The commodore and staff'then landing, we
formed a close line; and to the tune of llail
Columbia, witn the American flag proudly wa
ving over us, we marched up to the council
house. 1 here .ve halted—our little band drew
up, and thus with twenty feet between us, face
to face sloon the sons of America aud the troops
ot Japan. We went into the council house,
where sat the commissioner, with his coadjutor
I’rinco of Ivvaini. Proudly we walked in, and
bowed in our way, which was returned by the
commissioner lisiug and bowing. We were
t hen seated. Thus were delivered tho cre
dentials, and altera few words, we withdrew,
formed oui line, and to the tune of Hail Colum
bia aud 1 a-ikee Doodle, retired to our boats.
We were accompanied off’ by Tezemon and
other madarins, and got under way, and stood
Up the bay. We went within eight miles of
Jeddo, carrying plenty of water, but could seo
nothing of the city.

“Did you remain long in New York ?” I ask

“'Veil, no,” answered he, thoughtfully, “only
two days, for I saw there was a right smart
chance of starving to death, and I’m opposed
to that way of going down. I put up at one of
their taverns, and 1 allowed I was going to be

“Where did y’ou stop ?” said I, interrupting
him.”
