THE CHRISTIANITY THAT GOES TO JAPAN.—

The Jeddo (Japan) correspondent of the Concord, N. H. Patriot, writes; I sincerely pity the Japanese, such are the knaveries and tricks foreign merchants will practice upon these simple-minded and kind-hearted people, and such vices will be practiced by the mass of seafaring men who will visit those ports. I was ashamed and humbled this afternoon when I saw an American of our ship dead drunk in the street, and the Japanese looking on in amazement and apparent sadness. The Christianity which commerce sends to the east corrupts heathenism itself.
