depot and Castle Garden conld bescen dense
mass of people, blockading the hohse-tops. but
relieved here and there upon tie GROUND by
the reflected light from the bayonets and the
gay coiors of the mounted hussass. The Japa-

bassadors entered the depot arm in arm with
the officers OF the Naval Commission, and the
officers, accompanied by the cSmmittee soon
followed. No persons were admitted into the
depot except those officially conhect ted with The
reception, and the landing aud entering the
carriages was effected in admirable order.
Next to the officers came the treaty box
covered with scarlet, and borne in sort OF
cage, in shape somewhat resembling an ark,
but without top. Then came the attendants,
carrying the Lighter baggage of the Embassy,
and not un til all who were to ride had taken
seats in the carriages were the crowd allowed
to leave the boat. The heavy baggage was to
be conveyed to the hotel in three large Wag-
ons of the Manhattan Express Company, and
two Japanese were detailed by the Treasurer
TO guard it. These sat quietly down. filled
their pipes, took out flint, steel and bits OF
moss, struck a light and smoked away impas-
sively, while their more fortunate comrades,
escorted by the Eighth regiment, rode out OF

which were gladly seized upon. AT 1879 Grand
street, the following characteristic card was
posted up: "A window in the second story to
let to Wien the possession"
The Ambassadors looked considerably IA
tigued as they drove down Broadway, and o n
the return Of the cavalcade they were, doubt
less glad to alight aud to be ushered into their
apartments. This was very quickly accom-
Pushed; but not before Tonmy-who was
snugiy ensconced in &; softly cushioned chair
in large wagon, perfectly strewed with
flowers and drawn by five magnificent horses
was discovered and treated to hearty cheer
from The people-the only salutauon witn
which the Embassy was troubled IN 'front.' OF
the hotel.
The Ambassadors were conducted to their
apartments without the slightest ceremony
Dinner was served soon after their arrlVai,
when it is not TO be doubted that our Oriental
friends enjoyed Themselves. On their way 10
their apartments the large crowd collected on
the stairs laughed boisterously at the move
ments Of their attendants in transporting thelT

At the Metropolitan Hotel the most luxu.
