THE JAPANESE EMBASSY.

Tteie is really very little news 10 write about these
people, and we fancy that the public, wearied Hong
columns upon the habits and customs Of the copper
coored sraneers aud wba. has been aud sto be done
by to ard for them begin to be dreadfully bored BY
their morning journals and sigh for come fresh excle-
meut. TIE japanese themselves are very tired OF the
fuss and parade made hem and long for the time
appointed for their departure. Meanwhile they are
very jealous in the pursuit Of knowledge under diff
cutes, and in spite of the annoying crowds which
follow them sally out in search of novelties, and are
constantly pressed by enterprisDg tradesmen to ae-
cept presents of their and merchandise.
Having shown great interest in the manufacture OF
glassware which has been brought very great per
lection in the United States, while it is almost unknown
in Japan, Messrs. f. V. Haughwout g. Co. have pre-
pared three magnificent services Of cut tabegas rs
presents to the Embassadors each service being fitted
into highly polished rosewood case, lined with velvet
and mounted with silver shields on which are engraved
be names of the ambassadors and the donors.
The japanese yesterday visited the Long Island
Flint-Gla.s works of c. Dorayer, Brooklyn, and were
much pleased at the process Of glass-making. They
expressed their wsh to know the component parts OF
glass; also the quantities used which Mr. ID. cbeerfuly
gave them. He also furnished them with vals contain
ing portion of all the materials used in the manufac
ture of glass After receiving handsome presents,
the visitors left highly delighted with their visit
The ambassadors and chief officers during the day,
waited upon the widow of Com. Perry, and paid their
respects to the memory of her deceased husband with
much feeling. As the time for their departure draws
nigh, Friday having been assigned for the period of
their embarbaton the business of packing up is going
| on and from the immense numbers of presents they
! have received and the purchases which they have
| made this will prove small undertaking.
In reference to the sale of tickets TO the ball, it is
| well known that large number were sold at great
prices the Seagst brothers being quite conspicuous
in the business We append card from one of them
