The Herald gives the following description of the

The Imperial Japanese steam propeller Candin-
marruh, Capt Katslintarro and bearing the broad
pennant Of o Japanese Admiral whose name we
have been unable to obtain thus far, was yester-
day visited BY many Of our citizens, including our
Board of Supervisors, and several public function
aries. The Candinmarruh Is of Dutch construc-
ton. and is very handsome specimen of naval ar
chiteeture. Her capacity is about 250 tuns, Dutch
measurement, and she is very heavily armed for a
ship Of her size. She carries ten guns, composed
of four swivels, one howitzer, one small mortar
and the rest thirty-two Founders. Her compile
ment is sixty men, exclusive Of officers. The Can
dinmarruh experienced heavy weather during the
greater portion of her voyage, and in latitude IA
deg. and Al min. north, and II2 deg west smoke

The Herald Of the 10th gives the following ac-
count Of the first visit of some of the Japenese Off
GERS to the city
Yesterday the members of our Board of Super
yisors, headed by Mr.. Teschemaker, the President,
visited the Japanese steamer g Candinmarruh n
lying in the stream, o short distance northeast
from Vallejo street wharf The day was exceed
ingiy beautiful. the water being az smooth ana
bright as mirror. The visitors were received at
the gangway with the ceremonies usually prac-
tised on board American men-of-War, and con
Quoted to the quarter deck where they were Dre-
scented to Lieut. Brooks, q. s. Navy, who intro
duced them to Capt. Katlintarro, and by him con
Quoted to the Admiral, and their rank made known.
The interview was marked BY courtesy and refine
ment, the Japanese appearing quite pleased. Be

was called away, and in few minutes was pull
ing for shore, with the Admiral, his Interpreter,
two captains and several other Japanese officers
besides Lieut.. Brooks, U. S. N. They landed at
number OF our citizens, and were received by the
Board of Supervisors, who had preceded them, and
who ordered carriages to be in attendance.
On mounting the steps, President Teschemaker
stepped down to the boat to assist the Admiral;
but one Of the captains signifed to Mr.. Tesche-
maker that he should follow behind the Admiral.
Lieut.. Brooks, however, informed the Japanese
that Mr; Tesehemaker was Of equal rank with the
Admiral, who Immediately accompanied him, the
two walking side by side. A lane was opened
amid those present by order Of the Supervisors,
and the Japanese officials conducted to their car
riages, each vehicle moving in the order Of rank Of
the occupants. They were modestly attred, and we
presume were not Id full dress, but their garments
were composed Of rich st,tffs. Each one carried
two swords and walking cane, and some OF them
wore elegant patent leather CATERS instead of the
looking men, much superior in personal APP
pearanee to the Chinese, and seemed to enjoy all
they saw, but still eyinced good deal Of Indian
stocism. They were driven to the International
Hotel where the Admiral alighted; but the greater
number Of his officers accompanied several of the
Supervisors through principal streets. the car
riages attending them wherever they went.
Large numbers OF our citizens collected to wit
ness the novel and interesting sight, which marks
the commencement of another important era in
the history of the world. Lieut. Brooks observed
to the visitors that they must not think strangely
of the curiosity they excited, for it was because
anxious to see them. IT is to be hoped that our
citizens, of all classes and degrees, will vie with
each other in polteness and courtesy to these
strangers, and create among them SO favorable an
impression that when the embassy shall arrive, its
members will receive accounts calculated to foster
the favorable disposition already exhibited toward
us by this strange but interesting people.
A row occurred in San Francisco on st. Patrick d
Day in consequence of some rowdies having dur
