No expedition had been able to stay four years in so high latitude without getting the scurvy. They must have been reduced to salt ing down fowl for the Winter of 1848-50, which would accelerate this disease very materially. They must have been very weak front it in the Summer of 1850. Tho Esquimaux agreed saying that there was no old man in the party; so Sir John must have gone before. He asked the Esquimaux why tliey did not feed them, but they answered that they were almost starved themselves. Starvation, he found, carried off the Esquimauxat times. Sixty of his old friends died of it in one season. When the sea animals shift ed their ground, they were particularly liablo to this. On this occasion, the conjurer of the par ty strangled himself; one of tho men froze him self to death, and two young girls, whom he saw again, maintained themselves by eating others of the party. Tho Esquimaux were can nibals only to keep off stnrvatioa They would not oven cat their dogs, unless compelled to. When Sir John’s men became emaciated it would affect their nerves so that they could not shoot well; he had had enough of that toknow its cflect Ho believed that the Esquimaux would have aided them had they been able. It would have been very hazardous for him to attempt to reach this place where tho bodies were seen. He could not well have spent another Winter there without provisions, so he returned to York Factory and took tho vessel for England. It was not surprising that when he returned and searched tho place, there should be no traces of the bodies; the point was occasionally cov ered with water, which would have swept them off at some time during the Winters and Sum mere which had elapsed. They found a piece of one of the boats of tho Terror, one of Sir John’s ships, andapiecoofwood with “Stanley’' on it, which he traced to the man in England, of whom Mr. Stanley bought it Japan and tbc Japanese. LORD ELGIN’S VISIT TO JF.DDO AND A DESCRIPTION OF TIIF. CITY. From tlie Eastern Correspondence of the Lon don Times we copy tho following interesting account of tho visit of Lord Elgin and Suite to tho Capital of Japan—and a description of the city—now for tho first time laid open to Euro pean gaze. The visit of Lord Elgin was for the purpose of presenting the Japanese Emperor with a steam yatch, and making a Commercial Treaty. In accomplishing the latter, the Ame* rican Consul-General Harris and his interpreter were of indispensable service to the British Embassy, which is handsomely acknowledged:— Siinoda is about eighty miles from the city of Jeddo, situate at the extreme point of tho pro montory which forms one side of the capacious bay, or rather gulf, at the head of winch the capital is placed ITp this hay the squadron proceeded, with a lair wind, on the morning of iAiL i «l k *1...

Hchadeoly three years’ the 12th, and passing through the Straits of Uraga, the left shore of which is feathered with rich verdure and indented with little bays, reached a point opposite the ]>ort of Kanagawa, beyond which no foreign ships had ever ven tured, and where the Russian squadron could then lie discerned at anchor. Captain Osborn, however, professing his readiness to explore the unknown waters at the head of the hay, and to approach as near the city as possible, Lord Elgin seemed determined not to lose an opportunity of establishing a precedent likely to lie so im portant in our future intercourse with Japan, and to the astonishment of both Russians and Japanese, the British ships deliberately passed the sacred limit without communicating with tho shore, and a few minutes after were cautious ly feeling their way round a long spit of land which runs far out into the hay, and offers some danger to the navigator. An instinct for deep water must have guided tho ships along the channel, which was afterwards found to be suf ficiently narrrow and tortuous, hut at last all our doubts as to tho feasibility of the enterprise were removed by the appearance of several large square rigged Japanese vessels at anchor, the draught of water rtf which was a guarantee for our own. Behind these rose gradually- out of the waters of the bay a line of insulated forts, which marked tho defences of Jeddo, while an extensive suburb, running along the western shore, formed a continuous street as far as the eye could reach. The ships ultimately anchor ed in three fathoms ol water, about a mile and a half from this suburb, and the same distance from the fine island forts above mentioned, which are situated on a sandbank, the interven ing channels being always covered with water. About a mile beyond these forts and parallel to them lay the main body of the city, the wooded height, on which is situated tho Castle of the Tycoon, forming a conspicuous object The arrival of tho British souadron in waters which the Japanese had sedulously represented as being too shallow to admit of tlic approach of large ships filled them with dismay and aston ishment ; boats followed each other with officials of ascending degrees of rank to beg them to re turn to Kanagawa; and finally urgent repre sentations were made to the Ambassador on the subject Tlie pleas generally put forward were amusing and characteristic:—First, it was said the anchorage was dangerous, but the presence of their own squadron was referred to as an evi dence to tho contrary; then that it would be impossible to procure and send off supplies, but it was protested that if necessary we could do without those. Tho merits and comforts of Kanagawa were expatiated on in vain; the paramount duty was the delivery of the yacht at Jeddo, and to deliver the yacht there it was necessary to remain at the present anchorage. No sooner was this settled than the Japansc in their usual way became perfectly reconciled to the arrangement sent off supplies with great willingness, and began to prepare a residence on shore for I-oni Elgin and las staff It ap peared that Count Putiatino had been delayed for ten days negotiating on this subject at Kana gawa, and only succeeded in taking up his resi dence at Jeddo on the same day that we cast anchor before the town. He had made tlic jour- noy overland from Kanagawa, a distance of miles. . The landing ora British Ambassador in state at the capital of the Emnirc of Japan was only in keeping with tlic act of unparalleled auda city which had already been committed in an- choring British ships within tlic sacred limits of its harlior. Japanese officials were sent off to superintend the operation, hut they little ex pected to make the return voyage in one of her Majesty's gunboats, with thirteen ships boats in tow, amid the thunder of salutes, the in spiriting strains of a naval band, and tho flutter of hundreds of flags with which the ships were dressed. Close under tlic green lotteries, threading its way amid hosts of huge masted broad-sterned junks, the little Lee, surrounded by her gay flotilla, steamed steadily, and not until the water had shoaled to seven feet, anil the Japancso had ceased to remonstrate, or even to wonder, from sheer despair, did she drop an chor, and the procession of boats was formed, the four paddle box boats each with a 24 pound howitzer in her bows, enclosing between them the Ambassador's barge, the remainder of the ships’ boats with captains and officers all in full dress*]ending the way. The hand struck up “God Save the tjuecn” as Lord Elgin ascended tlic steps of the official landing place near the centre of the city, and was received and put into his chair by sundry two sworded person ages, tlic rest of the mission, together with some officers of tlic squadron, following on horseback, .. .. , The crowd which for unwards ora mile lined the streets, leading to tlic building fixed on :cs the residence of the embassy w as danse in tlic extreme; the procession was preceded by po- li, ,men m harlequin costume.jingling liugeirmi rods of office, hung with heavy clanging rings, to wam the crowd away. Ropes were stretch ed across tho cro -- streets, down which ma-scs of tlic people rushed, attracted by the novel sight, while every few hundred yards were gates irtitioning of the different wards, which were ■vcrallv. closed immediately on tho passing 0* ic i>ro<"sion, thus hopelessly barring tlie tiu- .er progress of the old crowd, who strained anx- iouslv through the bars and envied the persons composing tlie rapidly forming nucleus.

But it would not be possible to condense within tlie limits of a letter the ex periences and observations of a residence in the capital of an empire about which the informa tion at home is so very scanty, which presents probably a greater variety of interesting and cu rious matter to the stranger than any other part of the world. Suffice it to be recorded xs our general impression that, in its climate, its fer tility and its picturesque beauty, Japan Is not equalled by any country on the lice of the glebe; while, as if to harmonize witii its surpassing natural endowments, it is peopled by a race whose qualities arc of the most amiable and winning description, and whose material pros perity has been so equalized as to insure happi ness and contentment to all classes. We never saw two Japanese quarrel, and beggars have yet to be introduced, with other luxuries of Western civilization. It is not to bo wondered at that a people rendered independent by the resources of their country and tlie frugality and absence of luxury, which so strikingly characterize them, should not have experienced any great desire to witablieli an intoroonrae with outer rations, which, in all probability, would carry in its train giy«tcr evils than could be compensated for by its incidental advantages. 50 bales Gunny Cloth 000 coils Richardson Rope 1000 pounds Baling Twine 150 bags Coffee, Java, Porto Rico, Rio and La- guira 10 chests Black and Green Tea’ 75 barrels ABAC Sugar 05 barrels crushed and Powdered Sugar 5 boxes Loaf Sugar 15 hogsheads fine Porto Rien 300 sacks Liverpool Salt 100 sacks Alum Salt 150 boxes Adamantine Candles SO boxes Sperm Candies 7.1 boxes No. 1 Soap . 20 boxes Family Toilet 8oap 30 boxes assorted and Fanny Candy 125 kegs Trails 50 boxes Starch 100 jars Snnff 50 whole, half and quarter kegs of Powder 20 cans Duck-shooting Powder 100 bags Shot 100,000 Segar», various brands 50 boxes Tobacco 20 cases Hagnoliaand Combination Tobacco 20 bales Osnsbuigs sad Stripes 5 cases Homespuns, bleached 10 bales Georgia Kerseys 5 bales Northern Kerseys 15 bales Blankets, all sizes 60 baskets Piper’s Heidsiek Wine 75 cases Ginger and Blackberry Wine anil ’ Brandy 50 barrels Rye aud Corn Whiskey 10 barrels Extra old Bourbon 50 barrels Gin, Rum and Brandy 10 casks Madcirx Port and Sweet Wine 10 cases London Dock Gin 15 cases Bokcr’s and Stoughton Bitters m 10 cases Lemon Syrup 20 casks Ale and Porter to boxes Ginger Preserves, Prunes and Figs 30 boxes Assorted Pickles 20 boxes Super.
