Consul in Japan, who will remain
with them during their stay in Washington and
accompany them in their travels through this

tary Seward is expected to return. On the
occasion of their presentation, they will hand
to the Secretary of State their official dispatches
from the Tycoon OF Japan, accom- mpanied by
a translation OF the same. The members of
the Embassy are not regarded by those who
saw them this evening as fine a looking
body of men as those who visited Washing

Official advicPs have been received at the
Treasury Department which indicate rather a
remarkable state OF things regarding the grain
trade between this country and England, VIII

wheat from Liverpool to New York. The two
steamers of the Inman line, which left Liver
pool on, the 9th and 9th inst, brought $3.50
bushels. The City of Baltimore, which arrived
at New York on Wednesday, brought 10000
bushels. The steamship Queen, of the National
Navigation Line, which let Liverpool on the
