they propose returning very shortly, as Secre-
tary Ukitcny pronounced orichU assured our
reporter at a late hour last evening" Wheh

Wednesday morning, and his presence at that
time drew a considerable crowd. They passed
through the various offices, ana were mucn
interested in the explanations, so far as com
prehensible TO them, of the system OF banking
as here conducted. The payinR-teller counted

satisfaction to that evinced III the pllesot green
backs that were shown them, especially when
they could not be assured that the paper money
would produce the coin ii required When in
formed that this would probably be the case ere
very long, they were better pleased, and thought
the Arrangements would then do very WELL
The sales and vaults were regarded with intense
Interest the massive doors and heavy walls,
and thorough protection afforded to the valu-
able contents, was something evidently well APP
preciated. The general appointments of the in.

accustomed, impressed them with their chaSte
elegance During the hour and halt of their
stay a crowd of probably two hundred persons
had gathered in the street, eagerly awaiting
their exit, some thirty or forty boys thronged
the sidewalk and any person came out,
shouted voclferously, coupling them with the
Japanese. AS the negro porter stepped out he
was fixed upon as a servant of the Embassy,
and assailed accordingly. At about l o'clock
the party re-en tered the carriage and resumed

Central Park, but there was so much of pack

the midst of constant interruptions from ViSi-
! tors, that the trip, for the present, was abau-
doned. For the same reason, an invitation

! to visit that institution, was declined. Last
evening, in consequence of so constant inter-
ruption in making their tnal preparations for
departure, orders were given to send up no
more cards

They have pretty stringent ideas of rank, and
have manifested heSitancy in regard To pub
licity until they should be regularly presented
to the President and authorities at the National
Capital, after which they freely expressed their
readiness to be shown around 10 any extent.

youngster has been for a couple of years filling
the humble position of Interpreter in an Eng

It is an interesting fact that the Colorado,
which brought this party from Japan, had a
return freight largely exceeding her capacity,
including many orders Tor goods never before

Yok Ohama last year amounted to sic, 1856 ITO, of

important and lucrative trade being built up in
