The steam frigate Niagara, which left New
York on the Both of June with the japanese
embassy on board arrived at Porto Grande ST.
Vincent, her first stopping place, on the 10th
July. The japanese are 10 a perfect state OF
''salubrity," every one, from and including the
Kamis, down to the cooks and BARRIERS.
They are not the same people they were when
in the United States, where they were cooped,
Gagged and penned up like SO many animals
On board the Niagara not a day has passed
that they have not been on deck, mixing up
with the officers and others as freely as if only
ordinary passengers. They apply themselves to
learning the English language. They have quite
library of books of different kinds-Dutch,
English and other dictionaries. There are sew
eral others besides the interpreters who speak
considerable English. Tommy" takes lessons
daily in English of the chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Stew
art.
The Niagara goes to Loando, which is some
$500 miles, and is expected to occupy twelve
days. At Loando the United States Govern
ment has coal depot, where the Niagara will
again recruit. At her rate of sailing so far, she
will not reach Jeddo before the middle of Octo-
Der. The distance run in sixteen days has been
5000 miles, although some time was lost in run
ming about hunting for the 'strades," which she
cid not find, but made most of the voyage a.
