The trade with Japan.

--The celebrity of the ‘"rape seed oil"’ of Japan has attracted the attention of the Government, which has invited proposals for furnishing the same, with a view to the use of it as an experiment by the Light House Board. The intensity of the light yielded by this oil is said to surpass all others, and it has no smell.
