JAPANESE CAPTAINS. The Japanese Steam Navigation Company (Nippon Ymen Kaiaha), according to "Fair Play," has now carried out a plan which has been for a long time in contemplation, by appointing a native captain to one of the company's ocean ateamers, the Hiroshima Maru. M. Shirnadzu Ooaaburu, who is appointed, is reputed to lie an expnrienceti navigator. Hitherto all tint company') captaina, and most of the first and second officers, have been Europeans, and it is utated tha all these will be gradually replaoed by Japaneie.
