nesday morning they had an interest

atldj yesterday at noon they were for
thaly presented to the Prienident. At
tin early 'hour of the day j the avenue
about WUlard's Hotel was thronged
ith people of both sexes anxious to;
get a glimpse of these oriental visit
ors. The United States -Marine and
the Ordnance Corps, from the Arsen

aiirnkl was eiven to the Marine Band.
which immediately began playing a
national air, and soon thereafter tUe
Ambassadors and suites made their ap
pearance, accompanied by the Navy
Commissioners, ihey were arrayea
in the richest silks, and presented an
Lfinoarance novel and unique. Prince
Simiie, the Chief Ambassador, was
clothed in a beautiful purple robe; with
large, flowing sleeves, and trowsers of
. the same material, made somewhat in
the style of the Turks. A queer look-
; ing sword was fastened to a belt, the
handle or guard being inifront instead
of atlthe side as worn by our military.
On the top of the head j was worn a
cap hich resembled a lady's leather
work-box, and his feet weTe encased
in white sandals, As each prince en
tered his carriage the members of his
suite) knelt down, and then took posi
tional on the sides and rear of the ve
hicle In front of the Chief Ambas
sador was borne a long lance, on the
end of which was a large black Mal
tese dross. The second dignitary then
appeared, and then the third, each
followed by their suites, when the same
ceremonies were gone through, .fcjvery
thing now being in readiqess the pro
cession started, the military being in
frontl The military escort, the gay
costumes of the PrincesJ the thousands
of ladies and getlcmen lining the side
walks on the line of the procession
rendered it one of the most imposing
pageants ever witnessed in this cbun
' try. On reaching the Presidential
mansion, the gates were unlocked and
the-procession passed fn. Here the
- same ceremonies were observed when
ther Princes left the carriages, the
subordinates kneeling and then clos
ing round their master to guard him
to the door. Although none but Ar
toy tind " Navy officers members o:
Congress, &c, were admitted to the
While House, yet it was crowded to
r its utmost capacity. There were some
Beveilty-five Naval officers present in
' full dress, and about ninety Army pf
ficers, among them Gen. Scott, who
. uttrajcted marked notice.
All twelve o'clock precisely, the
President and Cabinet entered the
east roOflQj and took position fronting
the parlors. After a brief pause the
parlor doors were opened and the em
bassy silently advanced, bowing twice
very low, tQ which the? President re
sponded by a like number of bows.
After an introduction to the Presi
dent!, tne principal Ambassador pre
sented his credentials, which act was
accompanied by two more bows. He
then read an address to the President,
whith was translated from Japanese
Into Dutch, and then into English.
It is as follows : "His Majesty, the
Tycoon, has commanded us that we
respectfully express to1 his Majesty,
thej President of the United States, m
his name as follows : Desiring to es
tablish on a firm and lasting' founda-

ed, receiving from these dusky princes
a low obeisance only, their etiquette
forbidding hand-shaking with women.
The ceremonies now being over the
entire embassy slowly retired, walk
ing backwards, and bowing thrice.
The procession was again formed,

We regret to see that the Salisbury

came the others of the embassy, wear
ing green silk robes and trowsers of
i-the same material. Large crowds of
persons followed the ' procession, and
the windows of all the houses on the
avenue were alive with women and
children.
The embassy expressed themselves
as delighted with their reception, and
speak in the wannWt terms of their
great admiration and respect for the
President. The majority of these peo
ple are quite low in stature and some
what effeminatelodking. One of them,
Prince Skahara rhuroga, is remark

handed to tile President, who passed

Mr. Bachanan then replied by read

Something about Japan, its Govern
ment, People, &c.
The people of Japan have no record
of the date of the settlement of their
islands, and assume that Japanese
have been Japanese from the creation
of the world. Their - government is
wholly unlike that of China. It can
not be proved that there is an abso
lute monarchy existing in Japan, nei
ther that the citizens have any real
liberty of action. Despotism exists
without a despot. It has two emper
ors a civil and religious one. The
first is called 'Mikado,' and the second
'Siogoun or 'Koubo. The religious
emperor appears to be a kind of lay
figure, who has nothing to do but sit
in a temple and be adored. The lay
or civil emperor is not much better
off, and1 the real government appears
to reside , in a kind of council of empire.
Society is organized on the feudal sys
tem. The princes are the great land
lords, and the common people hold
their farms of them as vassals. Each
prince is sovereign in his own heredi
tary domain, as the county palatines
and great vassals of the English crown
formerly were; strifes between these
great feudal lords are prevented by
the number and omnipresence of the
Japanese police, which is more pene
trating, prompt and arbitrary than
that of France. Japanese society is
divided into eight classes 1st, .the
princes ; 2d, nobles ; 3d, priests ; 4th,
soldiers ; 5th, literary common folks ;
6th, wholesale merchants ; 7th, retail
merchants, artisans and artists; 8th,
peasants and .laborers. The first four
classes only have the right to wear
two sabres. They. have,' in fact, a 9th
class, the lowest of all perfect Pari
ah's viz : the tanners and curriers.
These are outcasts, from the Bhuddist
idea that whoever touches a dead ani
mal becomes impure. The accounts
of the population of Japan vary in sla
ting it at from fifteen to forty millions.
After the expulsion of the Jesuits
in 1637, the Dutch alone were admit
ted to any trade, and that only to the
port of Nangasaki. The right was
also, in 1611, conceded to the Dutch
to build factories at Dezima, a small
artificial island in the harbor of Nan
gas"aki. A Russian embassy was sent
in 1804, but failed entirely. In 1842,
William II., of Holland, endeavored
to obtain of Japan similar concessions
to those made by China. His letters
were not answered until 1844. and then
the Siogoun,' or temporal emperor,
replied that 'he had carefully observed
the events succeeding the, fundamen
tal change in Chinese policy, and was
convinced that no kingdom could en
joy a durable peace except on the con
dition of totally excluding foreigners.
Our own government made Various
attempts before reaching the success
ful issue which crowned the expedition
of Commodore Perry. In 1846 Com
modore James Buldle visited Jeddo,
the residence of the 'Siogoun,' but
was refused permission to land or com
municate directly. His letter to the
'Siogoun waited eight days for an
answer, and the answer was a refusal
to treat. Admiral Cecille visited the
waters of Nangasaki the same year,
and was as' peremptorily refused per
mission to land or undertake any mea
sures for opening a communication or
commercial relations between France
and Japan. The Perry expedition
broke first the charmed circle of Ja
pauese exclusiveness, and the visit of
the native prince and dignitaries, now
in Washington, is the first interna
tional courtesy of that kind ever con
ceded by the Japanese government to
any other people. Its importance can
not, therefore, be exaggerated; since,
if the report of the Japanese ambassa
dors, on their return home, be favora
ble to the United States, we may look
forward to the ultimate creation of a
direct trade between the two countries,
and the opening of new mines of wealth
to American daring, ingenuity and
thrift. .

of beauty, a profusion of goodness, in

the bird, and enamelled the insect, in
the simplicity and universality of his

sun light which now in its splendor
floods the firmanent and-landscape ;
he cannot comprehend how much of
the loveliness of the world results from
the composite character of light and
from the reflecting propensities of the
most physical bodies. If instead of
red, yellow and blue, which the analy

have been ! The growing corn and
the ripe harvest, ' the blossom and the

and the autumn's robe of many colors,
the hues of the violet, the lilly and
the rose, the silvery foam of the rivu
let, the emerald of the river, and the
purple of the ocean would have been
alike unknown. The rainbow would
have been but a pale streak in the
grey sky, and dull vapors would have
canopied the sun instead of clouds,
which, in the days of flaming brillian

no distinction between the' blood of

Whxuas certain resorts have ho

that the Teachers do not hear the classes ris

our Teacher, who have faithfully and effect- '
