Free Ranking. Under the new law of the last Legislature amhorizing Free Banking, a ureal number of new Wanks are now iu the prof-ess of establishment. The Auditor of ' "rut,- is engaged dav and uight in signing aud registering bills. In tho business of registering he employs several clerks. Applications for new banks are daily being made, and no man can foretell where the end is to be. In this mania for free hanks and more paper currency, anew feature is manifested. Heretofore the marts of trade and commerce hnve been selected as the location lor banks, but under the new system of banking M Ii .nds, this principle hs been reversed. The out o the way, awl retired village, far fiora the scat of trade and anamneso are selected. Banks have been established without a sin Ic stckhnldet residing in the State, arid the ijuict villages where these new money machines are loe iied. -vill perhaps nevei see a dollar of the money in circulation. It will b carried to Ohio. New York, and New EnglanJ. to form t!;e local circulation there, whilst our Slate will lie U'M'dcd with the circulation of the small banks of New Yotk and New England, thus filbng the eoaatrj with an irredeemable currency. These bills if preser.tcd at the counter of the eastern banks from which they ai.e issued Would le doubl Ik- redeemed. But what avail U t!e right to demand speeie for the bill when tiie bar.it is located thousand miles distant. The interest of t!, w lode country is in danger by this new Sandy Hil! system of bunking anl ballooning. In this way Lanka always v.jr issue. They have every inducement to ! ao when not restricted hy sliingcut ieoislaiiuii. Tho banks i;, ihe city of New York, hnve Je rtni ued not to r.-cieve the notes of these new paper balloons on deposit. On 1 his subject the New Yotk Jf-nrrrsl of Commerce, of the I6th inst., makes the Idlowing sensible remarks: BANKS OF CIRCULATION. Tbc currency manufacturers are determined that we shall have a ''circulating medium" irredeemable at par, to lie sold ia Wall street for the accommodation of note shavers.

Railroad Connection.

The railroad connection between Cincinnati and New York, and Philadelphia, is now complete. The last spike has been driven in the lake shore line, and the ears, by the time the lake closes, will rnn from Cincinnati to Dunkirk aad Buffalo, that connecting the great pork eity of the West with all "down east" The Pittsburgh and Philadelphia road is now completed, connecting Cincinnati, by way of Cleveland, with the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be completed to Wheeling ia the coarse of the present winter. A line of splendid steam packets will run from Louisville u Wheeling iu connection with ibis roud. In ten days more the Bellefontaine road will ba completed to Union, and a connection formed Srith the Dayton and Greenville road. So that wo need have no fears of ice obstructing the eastern travel as heretofore. We shall have a direct through Railroad liue to Cincinnati, and in twelve months more we shall be in connection with Cleveland by this line, and with Columbrs, Ohio, by tbe Central line, via Richmond, Dayton, and Springfield. Soon the shrill whistle of the car will lake the place of the keen crack of Jehu's whip. Stage coaches will become obsolete things, and the Billy Ne als, Ad. miral Reesides, and Peter Campbells will only lie remembered in history. Sir trmntit gloria mumli. Compliments of tho Press. We hardly ever copy into our columns tbe compliments and recommendations of our brethren of tho press; but as the fol lowing, which we clip from the Milwaukee News, relates to a subject on which we have manifested some feeling, we trust we will be pardoned for its insertion 1 "Tbe Lsfayctte(Ind) Courier, alluding to a ramor that Gov. Wright, of that State, was about to appoint Wtlilam J. Brown, the editor of tbe Indiana State Sentinel. U. S Senator, in place of Whitcomb, dee'd, says that 'the three thousand five hundred dollars drawn from the fund of the Democratic Naiioual Committee is a sufficient eooipnsalion for the extra service ol Mr. Brown during tho Campaign.' Mr. Brown, in bis paper, brands the author of the statement ' an iufamous liar,' and says if it can be proved, that he will retire from tbe editorial cliutr, and the arena of politics, and moreover instau'ly resign the offic 0 of elector. The charge is not believed at home, and tho calumniator is no doubt, a reprobate. Mr. Urown is the ablest editor iu Indiana, and we had frequent occasion to quote from his spicy little sheet duriug the compaiga.'' Presidential Election Hy Oistricts.

Report of the Widow and Orphan's Frinnris!

Society. In presenting this our third annual report to the pöbln-, we regret tottate that we have not accomplished as much ss we expected in the past year. We hopes to have had an Asylum ander contract, ifnet completed, this fall. By an Asylum we mean simply a plain aad comfortable dwelling, capable of acsommooating fifteen or twenty persons ; such a bouse "as could be lmik and finished for $2,000. At a meeting of tho ladies and. advisory committee, November 10th, 1852, it was resolved that this sum should be raised. A committee -as appointed to sotn. it subscriptions with the express understanding that the money should not be paid unless tbe ubscriptioii amounted to $2.000. Cut. Drake and Co. Msv, luv generously donated ns two lots, which, in addittoll to the one we have purchased, form beautiful aid t-onnno. dins grounds for an Asylum. A number of gentlemen have Aubscrilx'd liberally, and where it is kuown that we need more lands, we are confident there arc many others who will assist us nevofriing to their means. The design of onr Society is two-fdd; To telieve suffering, and to elevate tho social atid'motaf condition of the poor and derservii.g. To do this it is alslutely neccessai y that we should have an Asylum, 111 which to place the objects ol our care. As it is, much of our funds are expended thai might be more profitably use ). Thus, we have supported, with an outlay that mizht have relieved two or moi e, at the same lime ensuring them permanent homes, wheu they would be trained to uesfuluess and religiously insti ui.-tcd. Children, especially ..cannot be lieuefited by "ood influences, a etil tbry are wilh-drawn from evil associations. Iu be half of the unfortunate youth of our city we ask your sympathy nnd support. We submit this subject to your consideration with the j .1 .1 . , II I I .1 ....! L.l l earnest nope Dial we sn&ti uavo me satistacuon 01 iiotu ing our next annual meeting in an Orphan Asylum, raised by your liberality aud benevolence. Besides relieving several fain I: es, we have given otto widow the means of returning to her home at a distance. We are indebted to Mr. U. H. Smith for franking their families to Peudleton. Our history in the last twelve monthis has not been unmixed with pain. Wo were called upon to mourn the death of one of our most sfHcieoic members. Connected with the Society from its begining, she was identified with its interests and pursuits. To her energy nnd influence arc we iudebtcd for much of 1 ur sncccss and prosperity. Again wo have sustained an nfliicting loss in the death uf oar beloved President. Taken in ihe midst of her usefulness, she was endeared to our hearts by hor gentleness nnd the wisdom of her counsels. Whilst w grieve for the intercom se that is broken, let us emul .tiller zeal, forbearauce, and piety. Respectfully submitted. MRS. J. B. HOLI.INSHEAD, Secretary, November, 1852.

The only oilier circumsiaiico that may be sunt to occasion cijiial surprise is tbe apparently uiiivcrsal acquiescence ol the powers of Kuropc in his acliemee. i be comparatively short pet nd of time whieli hits been consumed in organizing and iu consolidating bis dominion all over I'r ucc, proves lhat he is u bolder and more skillful uiausger than he was at lirst believed to he. Uut it is quite prubablo lhat tho great secret of tbe success ot bis experience is ia the anxiety of tbo masses for any state of tilings except that which, so far ns France is concerned as proved by recent occurrences is e condition of anarchy and of tdoodsbid ahme. Tho fact abSM th upiisings of the people in France muco 1848 have rosollcd in no settled or rntioual policy, but have given rise to the wildest excesses, and to the most iiunaclicahle ulcus ol iuveriinioui this fact luo. been wiebied by Iouif Napoleon vvilh much oflect Ho h:is made it the excuse for bis own extraordinary nsurpa. tioiia.

Independence of the judiciary and of the representatives of the people is to be the corner-stone of the edifice soon to tise under the auspice of the Prince President.

Front tk Chlcas l)ciaurati Praas. Japan.

Most ef nur readers have doubtless heard more or less of the Japan Expedition. The number, however, that are familiar with tbe objects of tbe expedition, aud with tiie general character of Japan, we presume, is small. It may not he time si.d i:k lost, therefore, to devote a passing hour ten n. tic f tbe subject. The expedition to Jsyaa owes its origin to Zadeo Prstt. the indonaiavla ts't.nai ef New York. While ia Congress" in 1845, lis was elsntsd by Mr. Whitney te bring the snhjsct of bis ytea: railroad enterprise for connecting the Atlantic wih the Paeifio coast. kesWe that body. The eminently practical mind af Pratt soon became eonvinosJ of tht praoiicability nf censtiacting such a rond, aad ha nw st ance that a result l it must he a direct tiada across ?he Pseitu with Ch.na and (he East Indies. Looking at t&e subject in all its bearings. ' he utr clearly tiie Important, position of th se Islamls which eompri'se Urn Vm i.-e '; Jap, with reference to such a hue of crnim?! v.J be vrry sbofMy afterwards bmasrht forward a proposition for estfiolishing commercial rrlti. ns with that Kmpire and with the Jfcjafdoiit e Cra, This s;e;i uns inseparably connected the name f P.-nti with Japan. Altlmngfi it produced no imuwünte fioit, the seed thus nn has Waes germinating, nnd in ne way or another is destined la pioduec tn abnudaut harvest. Shortly after Pratt had broached the bold iJoa dctriled above, the United States made the acquisition of California. Impressed with the conviction ihm the wants of Oregon and the newly aeqnin d territory ronkJ soon teunire direct commercial latereourse viih t bit and the ladies, tho cabinet of Mr. Polk, aetiag upon the soggestion of Pratt, in IMo, dispatched the nmsiy-gun ship C lunibus, and the frigate Vineennes, te Japan. The expedition failed of ill objeet. i'be only cnain ideation obtained from the Emperor in answer te President Polk's letter, was the following: "No trade ran be allowed with any foreisn nation, ex't-pt lloiUad." Here the tuauci rested until 1849, when intelligence was received that some American seamen had been Catirt upon ihe coast of Japan Tbe U. S. ship Preble was dispatched In bring them away. This was neeonvdished; but the visit did 10 t leeult in any better understanding than prevailed before. Sinee, Mr. Filln-.ore's administration has had the subjstt bsfnrs it, and BHarasj wer adapted which har rr tilted in an organised expedition to Japan, far baiter appointed than the previeus one, a portion of which has already sailed. It is to ha hoped that this attempt to open commercial relations with this singular people will prove aitecrasful. But whether it does r r.ot. the necessities f the times require that the ports of Japan be opaned la tha shipping of the world, and ü iruoe dtne. Let us now talk a little abt tho oauntry of Japan, 'lhs empire consists of a grotp uf islands, the principal one of which, MlpboB, is larger t!ian Great Rntftin. and coutains a population greater than the United States. The islands lie between the parallels of ihe thirtieth and forty-sixth degrees of n-'ilh latilnde. They contain, therefore, all the variatiea ol rlimaia 1 b Cotlnd letwecn New Orleans and Halifax. To this taaj be added a soil of great fertility, subjected to a thorough cultivation; mines which yieid immense quantities of botU tbe coarse and precious retns; a peopl nti a for industry and a natnial taste for the beautiful but rm !y surpassed , ntul a civilization uaique aa.i nigiiiy inifre!-i-iug to all outside barbarians.

And in this view they UsTpisb a more interesting field for anthropological , otbnieal, and olhical research, than any other people, save ibe Colas tialf. The first intercourse between this section el ist Mongolian race and tho Caucasian, occurred aboal th year 1600. Soofl Dutch and portqgisesc adventurers about that period effected a landing at oas of the ptiautpal ports, and on far ortn tssa 1 ho projaJ-wc ! tho inl taute as to succeed in i stabl.shmg eoinmercinl relations. 1 ho Dutch liavn maintsined friendly relations Irom that day to this, and from tho oxntilsiwri of the PoTtajrOCeSJ traders, in which they rondorsd wiling assistance, have eujityex! alnn st tao so! mononnly of tho eeaniaroa of Japan.
