The Ambassador.in> Chief, Simue, Prince of
the Province Of BujeH, is, at home, but little
above in rank, the next two on the list These
three are of the rank Of Governor He is a
nOble-looking, intelligent man, some 5 feet o
inches in height, and wore, yesterday, richly
embroidered rote of silk. When his servants
approach him they proslrats themselves; then
rising slowly, with bowed heads, present their

track, He is the Prince of the Province of
Awage The thi,d in order is Ogurs, Pri
of Bungo, "The Censor" He is the Secretary,
the reporter Of proceedings for the Emperor
The fourth is Morito OGataro, Treasurer Of
the oncern, one of the EmperOr's counsslloEs.

with sandals (nO shoes) fastened BY a cord be-

The rank and f.e, the servants of high and
low degree, look marvelously, to the naked ey e,
like our Chinese-dres ed in all free and easy
styles, but all, except the barefooted, wearing
sandals; and all, but those whose heads are
clean shaved, wearing their hair after Prince
SHINES fashion. The most prevalent style
was loose blue brooches, exposing the legs,

age almost the whole ship was surrendered to
them. The Captains cabin held the first

blush to see how much more simply, tasteful
and sensible they were in their Uniform than
our grandees were IN theirs. The Ambassa
