The STEAMER PHILADELPHIA has been chartered
by the State Department, and will proceed today
at o'clock to Norfolk, for the purpose of bearing
the Japanese Embassy to this city Capt Dupont,
who has been designated to take charge of the
Embassy, and who proceeds to-day to Norfolk in
the steamer Philadelphia, says 1t will be his
earnest endeavor to have the Philadelphia reach
the Arsenal at II O'Clock m. on Monday next
The arrival will be announced by the firing of a
national salute. The President will receive the
Embassy on wednesday, when it is expected that
ell the officers Of the Army and Navy who can
make 1t convenient will be present.
We have sent reporter to Norfolk to give us
full and very interesting account of the arrival and
movements Of the Embassy at that port, their
change OF vessels, departure for Washington
journey up, &c.

They bring with them over eighty tons of bag
gage, including fifteen boxes containing presents
Tor the President Of the United States. They also
bring with them about eighty thousand dollars IN
cash, with which to make purchases In this coun-
try. The money was brought from Japan In sill.
yer, and changed in San Francisco for American
gold.
The voyage OF the japanese on the Roanoke
was very pleasant. No untoward event occurred
to d sturb their general harmony, and the dist
gushed orientals passed their time in reading
various objects they beheld They Were very
kindly disposed, met every one on board as well
as those who visited the steamer off Sandy Hook
with friendly smile, and, IL spoken to in Eng
fish, would answer with some Complimentary re.
marks in japanese, to the vast delectation If moi
to the satisfactory comprehension Of both parties
The Japanese manifest geat desire to visit New
York, of which they have heard most glowing
accounts. The Roanoke proceeded to Hampton
Roads yesterday, and the Embassy will probably
arrive at Washington Monday morning.

wASHirsroN NEWS AND GOSSIP,


aoack yesterday afternoon by the announcement,
per telegraph, that the Constitutional Union Con-
vention had actually nominated John Bell and
Edward Everett, who, though certainly two Of
the most respectable gentlemen of the land were
universally voted unable to bring to the aid of
their cause single vote outside of their strictest
party organization. Their political friends here.
with one accord, however much they esteemed
ana admired them personally, were certainly
chagrined by their nomination, beyond express
sion The truth is, the Convention in making
those nominations have thrown away their only
chance OF success, which was TO run their nomi-
nees Into the House Of Representatives II ia
utterly impossible that they can carry vote in
any slayeholding State beyond their narrowest
party strength; and they can by no means carry
that II the Democracy run two tickets in them. az
one or the other ticketsupported by the Democracy
VIII surely swallow up much of their &c. l. \
party.
In the North they will fail under any circum
stances to win a single electoral vote, though
they may receive the votes Of tens of thousands
there who would have voted for the Democratic
party had their party made no nominations. We
DO not see how they In any manner weaken
me Republican party. Had Houston or Mclean
been nominated, the action Of the Convention
might have seriously affected the result of the
Presidential election In November; but they
chose, literally, to throw away their game Even
in the event Of the failure Of the current efforts 10
bring the Charleston Convention together again
at Baltimore, upon which, we believe, depends
the question whether there will be two Demo-
cratic tickets in the field in nearly every northern
State In the Union, we have no idea that Messrs.
Bell and Everett can get, in the race, within
sight Of the House Of Representative.
