bave any quantity of books of every description,

tie pamphlets Of half q dozen pages each, %ilustrat-
ed, some Of them, in the most beautiful style of
art"
The following particulars in regard to the En-
bassy are given in the New York papere,
The principal ohiec, Of the mission Is to got an
English copy Of the treaty signed by the President
OF the United States. The original was burnt in
the great fire at Jeddo two years ago. The copy
in japanese was saved. This they bring with
them, and a copy Of il mot signed) and a letter
from the Tycoon to the President.
The box containing these documents is looked
upon by them as almost sacred. 1t is called the
treaty box and is never allowed out Of their
sight. II is q box three feet Icing, twenty.six in
ches in depth; and eighteen inches wide, covered
with red morocco leather, and neatly sewed round
the edges. There are three japanned boxes placed
together, and then covered. Around this box is
a light frame, and when carried is borne on the
backs Of four men by poles.
The Embassy brings with it some $50. 900 cash,
for the purpose Of making purchases. There are
two boxes OF $40, 900 each, one s 1900, one 50, 600,
SIS 600, and some s 1000 Of silver supposed to be
that of their own money. Their money was oil
brought from Japan in Mexican dollars aud Am
erican halEdOllars, stamped with the Japanese
MARIAN arrangement made by Commissioner
Harris. Foreign coin has never before been re.
ceived in Japan till lately, excep, in n very depre.
ciated value.
at San Francisco they exchanged their silver
for American gold, which Pursor DOran, of the
Roanoke, has in charge for safe keeping. This we
understand will be deposited in the Sub.Treasury
of New York and drawn out as they want it.
They bring an immense amount of baggage
over eighty TONS which made four full cat-loa ds
over the Panama railroad. They have fifteen
boxes containing valuable presents for the Presi,
dent Of the United States.
They have articles of their own manufacture
Of every description, some Of which will astonish
orr people when they see them. They have a
beautiful specimen Of Sharp's rifle, one of their
own manufacture; also ono of those presented by
Commodore Perry, made by Sharp himself. The
one made by the Japanese is a decided improve
ment upon the original, as pronounced by oil who
have seen it.
The improvement consists in cooking, printing
and cutting off the cartridge at the same time
The original does not cock on putting down the
guard, which GUS of the cartridge, but has to be
cooked by the thumb. The Japanese rife can be
cooked or not on cutting off the cartridge according
to will. The barrel is beautifully rifed, and is a
fac-simile of the original. The finish and work
mansbip are equal if not superior, to the original
Sharp, or any other frearm ever seen.
They have a large quantity of beautiful silks,
broca:el3, linen, Grape silk, pongees, poplins, and
so forth, of every conceivable pattern. 1t would
require an experienced dry goods clerk to give the
proper names to hundreds Of articles which they
have in the dry goods line.
The Embassy cannot remain in the United
States longer than twenty-five or thirty days, hav.
ing the most positive orders from the Tycoon 70
return to Japan by the frat Of August, and GER
tainly not later than the 10Th Of that month. The
Japanese, on the voyage and on their excursion on
he Panama Railroad, seemed to be delighted with
all they saw, and we doubt not will give such an
account of their visit Oh their return home rs will
knit together the ties of friendship between Japan
and the United States"
The interview with the Secretary Of State, and
the official reception OF the Japanese, together
with their subsequent mo0emcnts We have not
room FOX in our columus. We add only:
JArasEss COURT DRESS AyD CUSTOMS.
The japanese rut on their best 'bibs aud tuck
ers' when formally paying their respects to the
President. A letter says:
The dresses 0! the japanese were much moro
gorgeous than they had previously appeard in
The first Ambassador wore robes Of blue and pur-
pie silk. The garments Of tho second and third
were Of differ ent shaded Of green, Grape and silk,
all gerry curiously wrought. The secondary officers
and interpreters were more simply attired. All
had, by means Of some artificial contrivanco, an
unusual ex?anse of shoulder, which gave them ar
air Of rotundity they do not at ordinary times pos
sess. The highest dignitaries had peculiar lie I'd
dresses, shaped like hollow boxes, aud sat upon
the top Of the head, where they were confined by
long cords reaching down the sides of the face and
passing under the chin. These head-dresses were
black, about FIVE inches high and six long, They
They were not cubical, but were broad in front,
tapering to a point behind. They appear to ex-
actly cover the spot left bald upon tho head by
shaving. Tie officers next in rank wore similar,
though smaller marks Of rank.
Upon leaving The Presidents House, the sub.
ordinates all knelt in lines, allowing their supe.
riors to walk between thcm.to the carriages. As
each Prince passed, his special attendants would
rise and follow him, and then assume their places
beside and in front Of his vehicle. The procession
returned to Wizards Hotel in the same manner
in which it came, with the same display of Japan,
ese custom, and everywhere regarded with the
same interest.
