the conveyance of the japanese Embassy to
Washington, arrived here at e o'clock this
morning. The steamer Anacostia, at anchor
in Hampton Roads, will bring the intelli-
renee of the arrival of the Roanoke off Old

Capt. Taylor, of U. S. steamer Powhatan,
arrived here on the Louisiana. He reports
the Roanokes shaft as badly cracked, and
thinks her departure from New York iu-
probable during the prevailing gale. The
Naval Commissioners Messrs Dupont Lee,
and Porter, believe she has left, and has
been driven off the coast in the storm, and
will not therefore arrive before Monday.
They are much disappointed, as the Phila-
del phia is chartered and provisioned Tor three
days only.

A NEW STYLE MACHINE.
~ PRICE s5o-HEMMERs SIS EXTRA.

1t is no longer questioned that these Machines
are the best in use for Family Sewing.
They make upwards Of fifteen hundred stitches
a minute. and will do the Sewing of Family
cheaper than Seamstress can do it, even II she
works a the rate of one cent per hour.
Is there a father, husband, or brother, in the
United States who will permit the drudgery of
thanksgiving in his family, when a GROVER
BAKER MACHINE will do it better, more ex-
peditiously, and cheaper, than can possibly be
done by hand?
A list of the persons using these celebrated Ma
chimes, in Alexandria, can be had upon applca-
