DINNER PARTY IN HIGH LIFE.

A German who accompanied the Ameri- can Expedition to Japan. has written an account of his voyage, which is now in course of publication in the ./lugsburg Ga- zette, and enters more into details than any other narrative we have seen. The follow- ing passage relates to a dinner party, which was given by the Regent oftlie Loo ('hoo Islands to the ufliccrs of the American Squadron :

“ The hall, in which the feast was to be given, had been prepared at it few feet from the gates ofthe town. The urine had been stacked and the cannons muzzled. The crew received ext:-arir-dinuiy rations of grog, whilst the ollicc-rs repaired to the place assigned for the feast. The hull was divided into three apartments, of which the one in the middle contained four tables for the eminent personages. 'l‘lit-so tables groancd under the wci ht ofn remarkable quantity ofsmall plates, filled with all kinds of eatnblcs, quite encouraging to the ap- petite, and of a. most delicious taste, but which were altogether too delicate for the muws oftt hungry mariner. Tea was serv- ed in exceedingly small cups, which ser- vants were always on hand to fill; there was neither sugar nor milk in, but out of regard for us, they had provided some sugar candy. These were nothing but the pre- liminaries ofthe feast. The repast, properly so called, consisted of twelve kinds of soup, which we were assured was in upon con- sidered to be it royal repnst. It is the cus- tom tlierc to have feasts consisting cfthree, four, or nine soups or services, according to the quality of the guests; but a dinner of twelve soups was the no pltuullra of the consideration they could show a stranger.

“ The food was put in small plates nfthe size ofa saucer, and consisted of different kinds of merit, fish, vegetables, and fried eggs; and, only think, there was a plate filled with the greater delicacy of all-—dog’s meat. Do not believe for a moment that the animals which are used for this purpose in the Japanese kitchen resemble in any respect European quadrupeds of the same meme. The are deficeto ‘little puppies! futtened for this purpose from the most ten- der age; and I frankly confess, I have never eaten more agreeable or more succu- lent meat; the most fastidious epicure would have no fault to find with it.

“With the tea, they served us with Jacky, a drink made of rice, and ofa most delici- ous taste; but again without sugar. They poured it out of a pot placed on the table, and it was given to us in little Lillipulian cups, of the size of a thiinble, made of China, which obliged us to get them filled up several times. This drink was not at all intoxicating; and I confess, for my part, I drank fillceri cups ofit. without feeling the slightest effect. It is quite remarkable, that all the meats are served up in very small quantities, but they are handed a- round so often that in the end one is satisfied.

“ To ent these luxuries they had chop- sticks on the table, a kind of sharp-pointed ebony slick, such as the Chinese use, whici they hold between the thumb and the third finger, and which they move about at plen- sure. Iperformcd my part very well for my first attempt; yet to eat the soup, or rather the ditferent kinds of soup, they managed to make up for our European awkwardness, by giving us spoons made of China, whilst they used the chop-sticks with great dexterity. Apart from these rather singular customs, in point of man- ners and refinement, there was nothing to complain of. Like all Oriental nations, the peculiarity of thcirtastes may at first strike us as rather out of the way; but we soon get accustomed to them, and, I believe, the American officers who accepted of their hospitality lvad no reason to regret the re- ception they met with. We returned to the ships, highly delighted with the civilities of these grandccs ol'Japan; and although they gave us dog's meat to eat, no one said he had an appetite of any other delicacy! Every one seemed to be satisfied.

Juoomo or Arrr.siuNce.—A Parson SOINE IN Mtntrctt.—'I‘he number of female Prisoners is very small, in comparison with the men. At one particular washing-tub stood four women. Our conductor spoke to one of them, this being a sign to us to notice them. Two looked up, and fairly beamed with smiles—-one, a tall and ver handsome young girl, continued to was away with downcast eyes. I felt a sort of delicacy in staring at her, her looks were so conscious and modest. A fourth, a fat, ill looking old woman, also, never looked at the visitors. The two who smiled had remarkably agreeable faces—-one, with good features, and a very mild expression, the other, a small woman, and though with bloom on her cheeks, a certain and, anxious expression about her eyes and mouth. Of which of these four women were we to hear a fearlitl tale related? The only one who had looked evil was the fatold women. As soon as we were in the court, our conductor said, "Now,

what do you say about those women?” “Three out of the fom-,"ve remark:-d, “are the only agreeable faces we have seen in the prison; and judging from. this momentary glance at their copntonsnces, we shotild suy, coulrl.uo.t be guilty of . much crime. Perhaps, the fat old woman may be so; that tall young girl, however, is not only handsome but gentle-lookin ‘." “That tall young girl,” replied our guide, “ was the one who, a. year or two ago, murdered her fellow servant, and, cutting the body, buried it in the garden. The little woman, next to her, some two years since, murder- ed her husband; and the handsome, kind, motherly-looking woman who stood next destroyed her child of seven years old. The fat old woman is in only for a slight ofi'en_ce. So much for our judgment of physiogaomy." -

'1‘:-rues IN ‘run Tuiuusa Eiurian.—-—'I‘be frequent use of the words, “ Sultan, ” “ Porto,” Stc, in the newspapers publishing accounts ofalfairs in Turkey at the present time, are erroneously understood by many persons.

“ The Sublime Porto” is the ofiicial title ofthe Government of the Ottoman Empire, and not the title of any ofiicer of the go- vernment as many suppose it to be.

The Ottoman Emperor is called Sultan, or Gr-and Sultan, or Grand Seignior, ac- cording to the fancy ofthe persons speak- ing or writing. They all mean the same thing.

Pacba is the governor of a province, and according to the importance ofhis province, he is distinguished by one or two or three tails. very Pscha has his own army in his own province, distinct from the grand array of the Empire. A Pacha with three tails has the power to punish with death any agent whom he employs, or any individual who seems to threaten the general safety.

LIFE OUT OF DOORS IN THE WEST INDIES.

The country-houses, for the three or four miles that we followed the road, are as near together as spacious grounds will permit. and they-seem boil 0 ‘

on,—uobody to shut out, no reserve. and little or no privacy. I presume we saw every member of every houshold we passed, the fences are very ornamental. but quite open, and there is no vine or shrubbsry between the house and road. The high foliage of tall trees is like it portico, under which we look, with no obstruction except their trunks like pillars far apart. The houses them- selves are mostly of one story, with high and spa- cious spsrtments, and the windows are so large and the partitions inside so few, that we could see through them as through bridcsges. The ladies walking about in loose neglige, some with cups of cotfee in their hands, some feeding the chickens and turkeys (which here are admitted into good society, rank as pets, and walk in the front ofthe house, or where they please), and some leaning iudolently ovcrthc bsluslrsde, talking to the ne- gross or watching the pranks of naked black children; but it so happened that he saw not one with s book in her hand. The gentlemen of al- most every house seemed to be lounging on easy cliaira under the portion. reading the newspapers. From the difiiculty of preserving or raising grass in these latitudes, the grounds about the house are very bare, except where rirli tlowcrs are cultivat- ed, and this is an unpleasant contrast with the sumptuousness of the wooden architecture. the fence-posts crowned with vases, the gaudy colours and general air of magnificence only. Of cumfmt there is no sign—the climate doubtless rendering it umicc(sssry.—How much the English, by the way, owe of their perfection in comfort, to the compulsion of climate: and how much ofthc northern taste for privacy, impromiscuousness, and hedge-about-inees is an unnatural and fastidi- ous grmtth of excseive in-door life. are questions that occur to one, in looking at these people. To feel nobody'a eyes, and be as unconscious of ob- servation as a bird, seems to he a universal result of the southern habits ; as, to be nervously exclu- sive and social onlv bv effort, seems a result of the north:-.rn.—A Health Trip to the Tropics, by N.
