Wo are informed that the Japanese in Fusan have lately attempted most vue justifiable outrage upon some Chinese jones in that part of Vorea, The facts of the case are as follows In the early part of this month, the Chinese firm of Tick Ling "& beaver of thy well-known establishment of Kung Hing & No., of Kobe, act up in No. 5, Hom-machi (six mouths? lease having be obtained previously from the Japanes householder), the main attest of Funan, a general ro; this they did after calli on Mr. 8. Miyamoto, the Acti for Inpan, ahd informing intention to establish themselves in this part of Corea. It seems that Me, Miyamoto received them in a fiendly manner, and in no way objected to their presence in Fusan.
Kung Hing & Ca. altered the house, which had been reuted for th on a loasa of six mouths, to suit their opened for the first time on the it, Aday or tio subsequent to 'a Japanese presented himself house and told Mesera, ick Hi to call at the Consulate, a8 Mr, Miyamoto desired to interview them; necurdingly one of the Chinese called and was ordered by the Conaul to shut up his house at once and to leave the port by first steamer j i reply, the representative of M id he could not do sv} and appeal to the Corean authorities at once.
Daring the course of that day several Japanese merchants visited Mr. Tick Hing & Co.'s Premises, threatened the occupants, and ordered them to shut upbusiuessin Fusanat once; and at 8 p.m, several of them entered the house, and threatened not only to smash up the goods of the Chinese, but also to eject them from the premises. With much Aifiiculty they were persuaded to desist, which, however, was on the condition that they would suffer on some future occasion ere they to open the store on the morrow.
he Chinese opened a3 usual the next day, but have since been so troubled by the Japanese, and so annoyed by the receipt of indirect mesanges from the Acting Consul for Japan, that they sent a letter to Mr, Miyamoto, stating that they looked for protection from his subjects, as inese Consul or other foreign repres: in the port; the result of this letter has been that the C ignored its contents, and personally and ordered the to shut their doors; which the latter firmly but politely declined to do.
seems that the Japanese Cor Fusun objects to the presence of Merchants, on the grounds that in the settlement of Fusan it is agreed between Fnpan and Coren that only Japanese shall be able to carry on trade there. But Mr. Miyamoto forgetsthat even if such anagi ment (a thing which we very much doubt)
isted, to have force as regards other nations it has to be publi also appears to have overlooke that the particulars of such agree should hare been made clear to the Chinese oon as they called at the Consulate. The Consul knew the men were setting up in Bussan; he allowed them to do so by his silence, and then had the audacity to order than off just as soon aa a fow jealous pedlars complained to him about opposition.
If the Consul forcibly closes Messrs. Tick Hing & Co.'s doors, then it may be ken for granted that a serious difficulty will arise between Japan and China over the question.
Chinese have alrendy appealed to the highest Chinese officialy in Seoul, and it is to be hoped that without further delay the El Hyet will visit not only Nagasuki but also Fusan. The necessity for th presence of the Chinese fleet waters has been brought homo to us which is calculated to deep sympathy for ove Chinese fri the port of Pusan, Corea, which is only 180 miles to the N.W. of this place.
Yo civilized nations it must seem almost impossible for a people I Taps noted for the their tu trent two of the eubjects of China in the above-stated disgeac fulwanner, Seing the liberal way Tupaneneare Leeated mall partof the world, ow feely they are received into the settlements of China, it makes the action of the Jpweso at Furan, headed by the Acting Vousul-Genera}, all the more stonialing and we are inclined to think Uhat they sill Gud themselves greatly mistaken ere long.
The Japauewo have held a rich monopoly in Col years past, but cannot do #0 any longer. The day has now passed when only Japanese can set foot on shore in the Land of Slurning Calm, and when Japanese can rob undisturbed, valuable timber, per Jorce majeure, from the islands on the Kuat coust of Uurea.—Kising Sun, 17th Nov, H.M.S. Audacious arrived here on the Oth inst., according to a long-standing arrangement, for the purpose of hi docked to clean and re-paint the zine wit which her bottom is covered, and to thoroughly overhaul and efvet sundry repairs to her hull,—the whole of which it. was expected would occupy about fifteen days. On Monday last preparations were commenced on board for going into dock, and on Wednesday morning she was duly docked. Scraping, and preparatory arraugements for painting were proceeded with all despatch and we believe that paiuting was to have taken seven days to dry. A telegram was, however, received by Captain Tracey, yesterday morning, (16th inst.) from Admiral Willes, ordering her to be taken out of dock immediately. after which to take in couls, and prepare for sea, She will consequently be floated out this morning. What urgent mission she can be required for no one apparently knows, Nothing whatever is known here of any circumatance likely to have occurred in China, since the Nagoya Maru left, of suficiont importance to warrant the step that has been taken, in thus throwing away four days labour and docking expenses. Thes are, however, mero trifles, compared with the fact that the whole of her covering of zine is now entirely bare; and without the necessary coat of composition paint, it i openly exposed to the action of the water, which will, we understand, in a very shortly space of time render painting unnecessary, as there will be no tine left topaint,—Rising Sun,
