| ton correspondent under date of Sunday the
3d. which we think our readers viii road oppre
ciasingy especially the opening part OF it,
where allusion is made to the reverence which
as a christian nation, has been here paid to The
sacred Sabbath. The Impression made upon
tho minds of these heather visitors, of the
Christian religion, so exhibited aud exempli6ed
by those representing the nation, cannot but
bo most upbappy K Etll. ..t
The Dntehmen who used to inhabit the
prisonlike, artificial island OF Dcsma, in the
harbor of Nagasaki, used, twice year, to
take a solemn oath Of renunciatoH of the
Christian religion, and to tramplo under
their feet the symbols Of Christianity. The
Naval Commission who have the charge of
the japanese Embassy now here, do not
lu their desire to please their guests,) go
to this extent but they have watchlully
guarded against the intrusion of Christian
ministers, and the presentation of Christian
books and they have not, in any way, re.
garded the Sabbath as n holy day
The japanese arrived at Hampton Roads
on Saturday aud their first Sabbath was
occupied in taking passage for Washington
on board the river steamer, and in visit
to Fortress Monroe, where there was u
military parade, with salu,es OF artillery,
martial music, banquets, aud other proceed
ings not usually INDUCED iu on the Lords
day, The next Sunday, large party of
them were taken out for the frst time, at.
tracing a rabbe crowd of negroes and
boys, with whom the streets are more crowd.
ed than on any other day Of the week.
This morning early, church-gOors were as
touished at The sight of party of the dig
nitaries of the embassy, mounted on horses
caparisoned in Japanese style They were
escorted by Que Of the Naval Board, and
make quite an equestrian display, eclipsing
, the circus grand entrce of last week They
were en- route for Mr. Corcoran's "iarm,
in the environs, a large ornamental park
with serpentine c0rrage-ways, rustic bridges
t ornamental shrubbery, and zine buildings
. Their saddles are cumbersome affairs
rather like those Of Mexico, with broad
flaps. The stirrupS are made of wood
heavy aud cumbersome, aud open at the
side, that a rider, in case of fall, neeC
not hang by the foot. There is breas,
plate and brceching, ornameuated witt
leather fringe, and the bride reins are o
silk. They ride with short stirrups, anC
c without much grace or ease.

Smithsonian Institution. where Prorcsso
