We commend the correspondence and all the
circumstances connected with this truly impe-
rial gift to the attention Of our readers. The
whole affair, in lis inception, detail and manage
meut, proves that the ENJOYS of the Tycoon are
Princes liz fact as we'll as in name. In Europe
it is customary win high dignitaries, when
travelling in foreign parts, 10 give money for
charitable institutions, to hospitals, &c. But
the Japanese Princes. while here, saw the police
daily, and viewed them as among the most USE
full Of oar institutions. The gift has the double
merit OF being. first, courteous aclInow!edg-
meut for services rendered, and second, as a
charitable dona,ion-the money going into the
furd for the relief of the widows and orphans
of policemen who die in the service.
twill be seen that the New York police have
the lions share Of the princeiy gift. This fact
is strictly mathematical one, bm at the same
time /; Is silent recognition Of the superiority
of our police. In Washington the police did
little or nothing, except to guard the treaty
box In Baltimore there was hardly any OPP
portunity for the display Of the force. In Phi.
Isdelphia the police we're utterly incompetent
They permitted the mob to insult the Princes,
to press upon their carriages, and to annoy
them with vulgar gestures and ritald remarks
The street crowd at Philadelphia behaved in
the most disgraoefui manner, ani the police
could or would do nothing with them. In
New York the police behaved spendidly-
on the day Of the reception, that Of the visit to
the City Hall, and generally in maintaining or
der in aud about the Metropolitan Hotel. The
task was difficult and delicate one but ii was
admirably performed. The only faux pas
during the whole stay of the Embassy in the
metropolis was on the night Of the ball,
which Was in the hands Of the Aldermen aud
Ceuncilmen. who brought their congenial asso
ciates upon the floor, and allowed the natural!
vulgar Aidermanic instincts 10 have full
swing, thus making the place scene o. de-
bauchery and license rather than Of innocent
recreation. Throughout the whole Of the Jspa-
nese visit the New York police behaved in
the most gentIcmanly way. and we are very
glad TO be able 20 announce to them that the
Ambassadors kept their eyes open while here.

ness of the force, and have given the right
royal proof Of such recognition.

souSentr CT the Japanese Ernbassy-
Prinseiy Cir 60 the Police.
We publish in another part Of our impress
sion OF today some exceedingly interesting
correspondence apropos to the recent visit of
the Japanese Envoys to the United States. The
correspondence opens with a letter from Cap
tain Dupont, the chief Of the Naval Commits
siouers appointed by the President to take
charge Of the ENJOYS, to Mr.. Belmont, the
agent of the Rothschilds. Captain Dupont sends
to Mr.. Belmont the sum of twenty thousand dol
lars, which amount the Princes desire shall be
presented to the police Of the cities which tacy
visited, as 'an acknowledgment of the efficiency
Of the police in contributing to their comfort
II seems that al first the money was rendered to
Captain Dupont for distribution; but he declin
cd 10 accept il, on the ground that it was the in
tention of our government that the ENJOYS
should not be put to any expense here. The
Princes got over the difficulty cleverly By re-
questing Captain Dupont as personal favor
to ask Mr.. Belmont, an unofficial parsonage
but "the sonin-law of Commodore Perry" to
make the distribution. The Captain could nc
longer refuse and Mr.. Belmont was only toe
happy to second the wishes Of the Enjoys The
