WE English are not a very thin-skinned people, and are tolerably indifferent to what strangers think or say of our character and performances. Wrapt in the ample folds of self-esteem, we defy the slings and arrows of foreign critics and carica turists. It is not that every other nation that has _ _ a history is not equally persuaded of its superiority to the rest of the world, for does not the modern lonian patriot, the blood in whose heroic veins is probably a deposit of half-a-dozen colonies and conquesta,deem himself at least a caged Mu:runes? But this self-love takes different shapes and colours. In the South and East it is Vanity, com- placent, conscious, irritable ; in the North and West—we speak of our own hemisphere, it is Pride, calm, contemptuous, and contented. The one is like a sash gaily and insolently Haunted on the sleeve ; the other is, as _ . . SANCHO said of sleep, as good as a cloak. This is your Englishman's moral surtout, and no epigram that foreign wit has ever darted at his fogs, his spleen, or his Sunday, can pierce the stuff of which it is composed. So proof against conti nental jokes is your Great Briton that no man enjoys more heartily than he the contemplation of his own eccentricities when he meets with them in a French story of English life, or bees them de picted on the Parisian stage. Nothing leas than an intense conviction of his own immeasurable aupe- riority to that portion of the human race which dwells beyond the narrow seas is needed to account for the fact that be accepts homage from abroad with a smile of sovereign indulgence, and dis misses any harmless attempts at ridicule as an involuntary tribute to qualities too great to be understood by unfortunate beings who suffer from " ignorance of the language." And thus it is, no doubt, that most Englishmen would take up with a too careless curiosity a file of foreign newspapers containing reports of the Opening of the great International Exhibition. It would not be so much curiosity as a confident expeo tation of " astonishing the BZOWNR ;" for let it be whispered that JOHN BULL regards the Universe out of his own islands from a purely " West-end" point of view. Of course, " these fellows" are quite overcome by that tremendous combination of the Useful and the Beautiful, the ceremonial, the structure, the procession, the size, and splendour, and weight of it all. Of course, they are lost in admiring wonder at the Princes, and Dukes, and Lords all in a lump. Well, no ; we regret to be obliged to confess that our visitors from over the water don't exhibit the least amazement, and only a very qualified admiration at all the stupendous and brilliant effects of last Thursday's ceremo nial. With one accord they found the building " detestable," and the ceremonial quite as " im " posing," as could be desired. There were "fine " momenta " in the solemnity, however ; silences of expectation, bursts of music, massive effects of number, harmony, and colour ; but the whole thing had a look of vulgar overdress, unchastened by the niggardly and narrow spirit which marred the generous purpose of the day. They lament the absence of the rams, whose large and liberal mind would not have permitted the national hos pitality to be quite so commercially administered. These are some of the discords which come back to us after several days to mingle with our domestic chorus of self-laudation. Nor is it disparaging remarks only, but unpleasant statements, that as now flying over Europe to the prejudice, not, as our critics are careful to observe, of the English Go vernment or nation, but of the conductors of this Exhibition. It is recorded, for instance, that on the day before the opening, in consequence of some hasty and mistaken order to clear the premises of all but workmen, all the foreign exhibitors and commis "ioners, including the Chief of the French Com mission, were actually turned out of the Exhibition Building by the police, and that M. LIPLLY was only prevented by a written and complete apology from leaving London with his whole staff the same night. This, however, was a mere blunder ; not so the deliberate exclusion on the opening day of Exhi bitors unprovided with season tickets ; a restriction which made many an Exhibitor register a vow that this should be the last Internati3nal Exhibition held in England. It is hard that the country should be made responsible for irresponsible buclatering, but exasperated men who have made the Exhibition will not pause to draw nice dis tinctions. The COSTA episode is acutely judged by our foreign visitors, who appear surprised that the Royal Commissioners should have sacri ficed an English musician of the highest merit to a naturalized conductor endowed with ex traordinary powers of self-assertion. On the whole, many of these criticisms, though not so favourable as we could wish, are not entirely unjust. Some, however, are evi dently first impressions, subject to reconsi deration, such as the remark that the English gallery of pictures is inferior to the collection exhibited in Paris in 1855. One impres sion seems to be common to all, and that is the inferiority of the present Exhibition to the first, not only as to the building but as to the " administration." It may well seem incredible, both to foreigners and Englishmen, that an Inter national Exhibition should be administered with a view, we will not say to profits, but even to savings, rather than as a goodly and gracious hoe pitality which should redound to the honour of the givers of the feast, and command the respect and gratitude of the guests. What our friends from over the water have to say on London and Londoners in general may, we would respectfully submit, be sus ceptible of explanation. We cannot expect one THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY ~ , WNING, MAY 6,1„,1801.,_ foreigner in a thousand tli•ju... us its glance, with all the penetrati . , 4 . .y S' akdis cernment which M.

Everything in such a capital as this repels and revolts the sensitive stranger, whose native heath is the Boulevard ; not only the immense indifference of all populous cities, but the feudal isolation of the pro verbial Briton's " Castle," the Want of out-of-door resorts of refreshment and recreation, the stiff, exclusive, uncommunicative life of luxury and wealth sneering listlessly in carriages, frowning heavily from mansions on the lonely Parisian wanderer, whose strangeness in our Parks and streets is one that can be felt ! Nor is there anything in the wilderness of bricks around him to lighten his solitude. It is only when he mounts a 'bus and rides as far as Kew or Richmond that he divines the possibility of living in England even on a Sunday, when he cannot get his cup of coffee while the English are at prayers. Let us hope that international Exhibitions may do something towards mitigating, if not removing, the terrible disabilities which afflict the souls and bodies of our foreign friends who are tempted to set foot on these shores. Suppose we teach them the alphabet of political and personal liberty, while they teach us something of that delightful social liberty which is the charm of continental cities to travelling Englishmen, and, after all, is a more appreciable privilege to nine-tenths of mankind than the freest enjoyment of the hustings, with which, besides, it is perfectly compatible.

Baron de Bulow, the Danish envoy, immediately protested against this new pretension of the German cabinets to interfere in the internal affairs of a country which is en tirely beyond the political action, the exercise of which was conferred on the Federal Diet by the last Congress of Vienna. The Diet, in its sitting of the let of May, resolved, on this motion of the President, that the protest of the Danish envoy mould not be taken into consideration, and it must be regarded as null. The Federal Diet, in consecrating by this resolution a new principle of intervention in Schleswig, has officially made known to Germany and to Denmark their intention of im mediately subjecting this Duchy to its supreme political authority, in the same way as it has already done with regard to Holstein and Lawn bourg. -- - EXPRESS FROM PARIS. '.(suoir out OWN oommaroNDENY.) PARIS, MONDAY Emma. The Paisis preserves a discreet silence about the atOgriph letter of Victor Emmanuel to Napoleon 111., the authenticity of which it ques tioned yesterday. The Pays gives the following as the text of that letter : I have just visited the fleet which you have been pleased to send to this port. This act of kindness on your part towards me personally and of sympathy for the Italian cawse has deeply touched me, and I thank you. It is long, Sire, since I felt such emotions as as this day. The order which reigns is these southern provinces, and the warm tes timonies of affection which I reoeivis on sll sides, reply tri umphantly to the calumnies of our enemies, sad pill, I hope, convince Europe that the idea of unity rester upon solid bases, and is profoundly graven in the heart of all Italians. Accept, Sire, the wistOsants of my .lessee and unchangeable friendship. Vieroa Thursday appears to be the day definitively fixed for Prince Napoleon to leave Paris for Italy. His yacht is expected at Marseilles on the 10th, and, according to present arrangements, will sail the next day. The announcement in the Manikiur that there would be a "communication from government" to the Corps Legislatif caused considerable excitement in the lobbies, it being supposed that the remodelled Palikao dotation bill, which has been so long kept back, was at length about to be presented. The anticipation, however, turned out to be incorrect. The communication turned out to be merely the presentation of two bills of no great interest-Ist, the matter of course bill for sanctioning the sup plementary credits, of the last budget (which amounts, by the way, to the good round sum cl 177,775,381 fr.); and 2nd, a bill for enabling etock. l brokers to have sleeping partners, which, in point of fact, most of them have already, although the law does not allow it. For the first time since the translation of the ashes of Napoleon L from St. Helena to Paris, the fune ral service commemorative of the day of his death (May 5) was performed at the new altar in front of the tomb in the Invalides. Hitherto the ceremony took place in the chapel of the hospiteL It was only in April last year that the body of the Great Captain was placed in the porphyry sarcophagus, which is intended to be its final resting-pipe. A bat talion of soldiers of the first empire, in the uniforms of the time, were drawn up around the tomb. After the service these debris, many of them minus legs and arms,whose appearance naturally provokes curiosity and sympathy, made their usual procession to the column in the Place Vendome, where they deposited bouquets and crowns of immortelles. The mass at the tomb of Napoleon was attended by few people beyond the personages officially bound to be there. Another mass for the court was cele brated simultaneously in the chapel of the Tuileries, where the Emperor and Empress and the whole of the Imperial family were present. The Archbishop of Paris officiated, and a chorus from the Con servatoire sang. The Bourse opened with extraordinary anima tion, and more business was done than people re member to have seen for a very long time. But towards 2 o'clock a reaction set in, too violent to be explained by "realisation of profits," and which • • 'bated - to the rumour of an attempt to asses ablate King Victor Emmanuel at Naples. The Bente cloaed.at 70fr. 75c. for cash, and 71fr. for account, being 25c. lower than the highest price of the day, and 10c. lower than on Saturday. Mobilier, after having been quoted at 867 fr. 50c., dropped to 852 fr. 50c. The Italian Loan oscillated be tween 72/r. 25c. and 71fr. 30c., the latter, which was the closing quotation, being 250. lower than that of Saturday. Railway shares lost fully lOfr. from the highest point of the day. At the close Lyons was 6fr. and Northern 3fr. 75c. higher than last week ; and Southern, 6fr. 25c. lower; these were the only material changes. Cakes Mires rose 3fr. 75c. A despatch from Brussels, published in the evening papers, gives better accounts of the health of the King of the Belgians. The fever has almost ceased and the alarming symptoms have disappeared. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Renter's office, from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, May 6 : CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRALIAN ALEXANDRIA, far 5. The Vectis and Ripon leave with the aboie mails at 10 a.m. this day for Marseilles and Southamps ton respectively. The Bengal brought the mails to Suez, arriving there on the 3rd inst. General Tarr is at present in Paris, on his way to the Exhibition of London. Two new protestant places of worship havb re cently been opened in Paris ; one on the 30th March, at 10, Sue du Grand Chaotic; in the parish of Saiat-Jsao-ffisiat- Francois ; and the other on the 27th April, ►s No. 17,, Rue des Petits-Hatels, in the parish of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. A protestant chapel was also inaugurated on the 16th March at Chateauneuf, in the diocese. of Verriers. In the course of the year 1861, 21 protestant churches were finished or inaugurated in France. Amongst the strange rumours which are circu lating in Paris with respect to the intended voyage of Prince Napoleon to Italy, it is eerioludy affirmed by some that the prince is to be made viceroy of Naples under his father-in law, King Victor Emmanuel. A letter from Marseilles states that the son of Drouet, who caused Louis XVL to be arrested at Variance, has, in consequence of a reverse of fortune, just been re ceived into a charitable asylum at Marseilles. DEATH OF Da. WOLPY.—We regret to announce the death of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Wolff, the well-known Eastern traveller, which event occurred a day or two ago at the vicarage, Isle Brewers, near Taunton, of which parish he was the incumbent. He was the son of a rabbi, and was born at Weilersbach, near Foreheim and Bamberg, in 1795. He was received as a pupil of the College* Romano, and then of the Collegeo Propaganda, from 1816 to 1818, but his sentiments having been declared erroneous he was expelled from Rome. He came to England, and placed himself under the care of the Rev. Charles Simeon and the late Mr. H. Drummond, M.P. Afterwards he went to preach in the Fist, and made two journeys to Bokhara in order, if possible, teasel the liberation of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Connolly. NEWSPAPERS FOR THE REBEL STATES.—The Poet office department has received information that newspapers from nearly all the principal cities of the north and west, addressed to the rebel Mates, and to aloes keg since &men tioned, are being sent in large quantities to the pant-office at Nashville, Tennessee, for distribution. Th.ss papers can not be forwarded. They accumulate at that pant to such an extent as to make it difficult to find room for them in the office. To relieve the postmaster from the heavy burden thus improperly imposed upon him, it has become necessary to instruct him to sell, as waste paper, such as cannot be delivered or forwarded under the present postal arrangements—Anserican Paper. Mr. Charles Purkisa, the naturalist, of Wool stone, in Hampshire, thus records the first appeeraace of the birds this season—viz., the barley herd, April 1, nettle-creeper, on the 3rd, the black cap, on the 18th the nightingale, nut-hatch, and white-throat, on the 19th , the cuckoo, on the Plod. On the 29th ult. all the siNang birds about Woolstees wens mute, owing, it is believe& to a cold east wind that blew all day. Cuckoos are very numerous this year at Woolskoee. Mr. Purkise is a native of the New Forest, tad a week or two since he Invited a party, fond of singing birds and teen* of . estare, to accompany him in a tour to the Forest, pronesi their guide. Mr. Porkies claims descent from the charcoal burner of that name, who conveyed the body of Rufus, the Norman King, from Stoney Cross, in the New Forest, to Winchester. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEET/.v , , (THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of this society was hold Co, moaning at Exeter Hall ; the Earl of CHICHESTIM pro ding. On the platform were the Bishops of Loodoe Ripon, Nova Scotia, and Sierra Leone, Lords 01 'Metal and Cs:- thorpe, and all the principal members of the metropolitan and provincial clergy. The area of the large hall was much crowded. The noble Camay art, in his openieg remarks, made a feeling allusion to the late Priem Consort., who had always taken • lively interest in the labours of the society, and re ferred at some length to the disastrous straggle now going on in North America u one demanding the prayers of all Christians that it may speedily cease. He was afraid this strife would have a bad effect upon the .kmeriessinnimin hitherto exercising so important an influence on the %titian ' world. He was happy to say that they would have a moo. cheering report laid before them of the operations of the last year. The Rev. JOHN VISO read thereport, which congratulated the society upon its improved financial condition. Last, year cloud with a deficit of 6,000/. To make up the de ficiency the committee sat about reducing their expenditure where possible, and making a special appeal ' for increased aid. This appal has been well responded to, and the income for the past year has amosated t o MAW. ; if the special fund contributions are added to this. the amount would be 140,0001. ; and if, agaib, th e ammo expended directly at minions be added, the total meant received during the year would be about liailsiot. The committee were happy to saythat, after deduct ing all expenditure, there was • balance remaining en the year of 5,0001. Of the above count of 136,8984 considerably more than 100,0001. bad been col. lected at the various churches and auxiliaries, Larma-liiire, notwithstanding the present distress, having contributed us fall quota. The number of missionaries sent out daring the past year has been less than usual, and death had hen busy amongst those employed. Arrangements, however, were in proper by the committee to meet the deficiency. The report then went at great length into the present state of the African, Indian, and colonial missions, 'hid on the whole were in a satisfactory state. In many of the African states the minions were now selfoupporting, sin native ministers and missiouries were actively at work ta the canoe of the society. In India the disastrous effect, of the late mutiny were subsiding, and the mina:wary work su again going on with satisfactory results. In New %ea. land the renewal of the policy of the late government bed had a good effect upon the natives, and facilitated the efforts of the missionaries. In China the work of the min. notaries had been' much interrupted by the proceedings of the Taepingitea. Looking at the whole of the operatam. of the past year, the com mi ttee felt that there was especial cause for congratulation, and giving an incentive to still fa ther exertion on the part of the frds of the sodaty. The report occupied one hoar and a ball in reading, 'stilts full and ample details appeared to give much satisfaction to the bearers. The Bishop of RIPON moved the adoption of the relent. As • prelate of the church he felt proud of it, as proving the great 'radios' of friends at home and the self ucrifices of the mutionaries abroad. In the great success of the se. ciety be witnessed the blaming of the Almighty. One of the most interesting features in the report was thelact of so many of the Af ric an sad Indian minions being self-sup. porting, and the large number of native pastors and miti eionaries working in connexion with these missions. He trusted that the work of this society would go on so long as an idol remained, or an Mathes was uncionverted. The Rev . Canon listna moonded the adoption . of the ret. The meeting was afterwards addressed by several minis. ten and gentlemen in terms of congratulation, and the re. port was adopted. The Bishop of London was prevented from addreselog the meeting, having . to leave the platform to fulfil another wgagement, owing to the long time occupied it the readieg I report.

George, J. TIMMS. Brand, H. B. Enatehbull - Magn ets, E. DEATH OF DR. J. 0. M'WII.LTAM, RN., C. B. We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Dr. J. 0. M.Williani, R.N., C.B. Dr. M'Wil ham met with an accident last week, which caused concussion of the brain, and after lying insensible for several days, expired on Sunday evening at his residence, Trinity-square, Tower-hill. Fifteen years ago Dr. M`William was appointed medical officer to the Customs Department as an acknow ledgment of his distinguished services in Africa, and of his high scientific attainments. To the conscientioue care with which he discharged the duties of this post 1,300 officers of the department will bear their grateful tes timony, and his reports, annually published, with those of the Commissioners of Customs, show how thoroughly he had made their health and occupa tions his study. His activity was not, however, either circumscribed or exhausted by the duties of his office. He was eminently a man of public mind, not, indeed, seeking but rather avoiding public appearances, but striving unceasingly to promote the efficiency and welfare of the medical service of the army and navy in the most disin terested spirit, and by every honourable means. His brethren will never know all he did and strove to do for them. His zeal and energy were matched with equal patience and kindness. In him her Majesty has lost a true and faithful servant. ROME. The Nord says that the influence of M. de Merode has entirely superseded that of ()ordinal Antenelli in the couneils of the Pope. The legitimist party are particularly hostile to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who, on a recent occasion, declined to give an audience to certain persons coming from Frohsdorf. A marked proof of .the asoendaricy of M. de Merode is to be found in the solicitude which the Holy Father shows for the troops in his service. He visite the camp frequently, chats with the officers, and spares neither time and money in order to please those pretended defenders of the Holy See. NAPLES. A letter from Naples of the let says Day after day passes, and the popular enthusiasm in creases instead of diminishing. Yesterday the trades corporations, pre.nded by their tanners, carried Victor Emmanuel's bust in triumphal procession through the city. In the evening the illumination was spontaneously repeated without any suggestion from the authorities. High gnosis and by-streets, the palaces of the rich and the humble abodes of the working edemas, all took pert in the fête ; and, without the lama pressure either from the authorities or the people, there was not the slightest breach of the peace. Certainly there can be no better proof of the absence of those political passions which usually exist only is the columns of certain journals, and perhaps in the heads of a few iniigriS. At the theatre, the King was received with all imaginable enthusiasm. The house was crowded, the boxes resplendent with elegant toilettes. The Royal March, which the band struck up when the King entered, called forth thunders of applause. The splendid theatre of San Carlo was brilliantly illuminated by • quintuple row of wax tapers. The whole fete, indeed, was admirably conducted by the Duke de San Donato, who has the superior direction of the theatres, and justly holds a high place in public favour. The popularity of Victor Emmanuel is easily explained. Besides his personal quali ties, the Italians regard him as the impersonation of their nationality ; and this idea pins additional strength as it approaches its definitive realisation. This is equally true at Naples and elsewhere. Such is the secret of the enthu siasm of the masses, who have the instinct of great titters. It seems that his Majesty made his appearance in the San Carlo at about 9 o'clock. As soon-sa tranquillity was somewhat restored, the Royal Hymn was performed by a full band, and enthu siastic " Virus" followed. Then was executed by the entire orchestra and vocal force of the theatre "A Hymn to Victor Emmanuel," composed ex pressly for the occasion. The words were by the celebrated Italian poetess, Madame Mancini, wife of the late Minister of Public Instruction, and the music by Cavaliere Vincenzo Capecelatto. Both words and music were worthy of the distinguished writers, and were received with great enthusiasm, roially all allusions to Rome and Venice : Star of Savoy ! Advance thy course, Destined to be the saviour Of Rome and Venice. Come the day ! the glory! When thou shalt hold The throne of the (Nears On the Campidoglio ; First to defend The sacred alter. Here all the people rose and shouted with one voice, and then, turning to the royal box, seemed to call upon the King to respond to the appeal. His Majesty came forward, and, bowing repeatedly, pledged himself in the face of his Neapolitan people. A beautiful effect was given to the conclusion of the hymn. As if by magic a large white cross ap peared at the back of the stage, brilliantly illumi nated, and numbers of tricoloured flags were lifted ' up and waved beneath it. The regular performanee of the evening then began. In the royal box were Gen. Della Marmora, the Syndic, 'Latta:xi, Persano, and Captain Codd, of the James Watt, with others. In the boxes on the right and left were officers of both fleets, French and English ; and in other parts of the house boxes were allotted to the officers of the foreign navies. (REUTZIeS TELZOILLIOL) NAPLESS, MAT 5. The King last night despatched a telegram to the Emperor Napoleon, warmly thanking him for the marks of honour with which he had been re ceived by the French squadron. The citizens of Naples intend to give a public banquet to the officers of the squadron. FRANCE. M. DE MERCIER'S VISIT TO RICHMOND. PAWS, MAT 6. The Comfit:46°mnd of to-day, in an snide signed by M. de Limayrac, says :—" We do not know whether M. de Mercier has been charged with a mission to Richmond, but we hope he will give ut terance, both at Washington and Richmond, to words of conciliation and peace." THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. BRIMBELS, MAT 6. The Moniteur Beige of to-day contains the fol lowing : "The King underwent a fresh operation on Sun day last, which afforded him some relief. " Yesterday evening the state of his Majesty's health was less satisfactory." In addition to the above official statement, it is known that the King has been suffering so severely since the end of last week, that his son, the Count of Flanders, has not been allowed to see him. On Friday and Saturday last the sufferings of the august patient were somewhat alleviated. . His Majesty is not aware of the gravity of hiastate, precautionary measures having been taken to con ceal it froin him, in order to avoid exciting his apprehension. The Diritto, of Turin, publishes the following letter, which hen been addressed by Victor Hugo to the editor :—" Hauteville House, April 22.-Bir,--Your beautiful criticism in the Diritto upon Lee Idieirables has gone to my heart. I find therein the intimate mites Id the Frenchman and the Italie°. Your oounts is mine. We, limas sad Italians, are Latins, descendent' of the Greeks, children of the sun. Hence one soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.—Vtoroa Huoo." THE JAPANESE MISSION. Last evening the three Japanese Amlnusedors, aocompsaied by Mr. Idwadocal.l, Atteshe of the English Legation in Japan, and ssvend of the officers composing their suite, attended the tall of the Civil Service Volun teers, at Willis's-zooms, to which they had received ea invitation. They left their quarters at Claridge's Hotel, Brook-street, in carriages shortly before 11 o'clock and returned about midnight. Earlier in the evening they paid a visit to the House of Commons, where they re• mined for some time, occupying seats in the Peers' and Ambassadors' Gallery, and then went to the Roue of Lords, with the magnificence of which they were amazed and delighted, as also with the labyibith of lobbies, committee rooms, libraries, and the like, composing the New Palace of Westminster, through which they were con ducted. The greatest part of Sunday afternoon they spent at the Zoological Gardens, in which they manifested extra ordinary interest and pleasure. The native draughtsman who accompanies them, and to whose energy and skill so many allusions have been made, lauded himself without intermission during the visit in sketching, with great rapidity and fidelity, beasts and birds which struck his fancy, while another of their retainers took copious notes of all he saw. Some of the retinue are said to have taken momentary umbrage at the cariosity which prompted the visitors to follow them about the grounds, but in this feeling none of the three envoys appear to have shared, probably regarding the popular interest of which they were the objects rather in the light of a com pliment than otherwise. On Saturday they called at the shop of Mr. Dent, the watchmaker, 61, Strand, where they spent some time and made several purchases. Yesterday morning they visited Lancaster's gun fac tory, with which they were particularly interested. In fact, machinery of all kinds has a sort of fascina tion for them, and they never tire of watching every exhibition of it of which they are afforded a sight. At the hotel where they are qusrtered the remarkable docility, gentleness, and politeness of the whole retinue strike every one who has opportunities of seeing them. Already many of them have picked up several familiar English words and expressions, and menage is make themselves understood. Most of them are provided with dictionaries in English and Japanese, whichthey study assiduously. Fish (ocoa sioaally raw) and rice form a great part of their ordinary diet at every meat The ambassadors and officers have now so far adapted themselves; to European usages es to abandon chop-sticks, and both as to their mode of living, and for the most part as to edibles, they differ in little from English gentlemen. They are very de sirous to Tasks the most of the time allotted for their stay in seeing all that we have interesting to show them, and in the course of the next few days they will visit the Hint, the Bank of England, and other places of note. It is probable also that they may make their appearance on Epsom Downs on the forthcoming Derby day. There will be a grand review at Woolwich to-morrow in compliment to the ambassadors. It having been arranged that the plenipotentiaries from Japan should visit the Arsenal and national establishments there, the authorities at head-quarters have ordered the military display for the information of the strangers.
