Tan Jaranxsr Empassy —A Washington letter writer, speaking of « visit to the Japanese, says: “When my friendly guide opened the doors and looked into the rooms, all within directed their jong eyes and'shrewd and intelligent hysiogno- mies towards us, smiled, and in several, instances uttered a few words of their native tongue, and came forward to shake hands with me. T! have. without exception, very large perceptive tes. They see and remark upon everything before them. They are small made men, and do not,average more than five feet four inches in stature. Their ap; nce is of a feminine cast— a resalt chiefly owing to their practice of shaving their faces, as also the head, every four days, from the forehead back to the crown, (a breadth of abont four inebes and a half.) while allowing the hair at the sides and back to remain. This they moet ightly and tie it up with strings in the shape finger cat off square at the end and pointing forward across the naked scalp.

The totsky, or ‘ousers. they wear, I can only liken to a pair of loose drawers let down bald way to the knees. instead of being well pulled up, and looking in consequence exceedingly baggy, and, to our eyes, Hil fitting.

EXAMINATION OF AMERICAN GUNNERY The interview last Friday evening between the Japanese and American ysicians, says a corres- pondent of the New York Tribune, was the only series of practical discussions, to which the vis{- tors have been, or are to be invited. The ad took place on Saturday afternoon, when Com- mauder Dablgren, of the Washington Navy Yard, exhibited to incipal Embassadors a number of the most fine! gbt American fire-arms, uivieg, also, explanations of their mechanism, and iliustrations of the manner in which they are used. Conimander Dahlgren was introduced by Lieut. Porter, as the otticer having charge of tbe Ordaance Department at the Navy Yard, and as having made the subject under consideration his especial study for a long time. When it was mentioned that the heavy guns the Embassadors had seen on board the Powhatan were of Dabl- gren’s design, the Japanae resent expressed in warmer terms than before ir satisfaction at meeting with him. Two marines, sergeant and _ then came in, and, under direction of the ormer, the latter went through the drill peculiar te the sword-vayonet rifled musket, which was carefally elucidated, the Japanese showing evi- dent understanding of the process, notwithstand- ing its novelty to A number of fire-arms were then submitted to juspection, with the op erations of which the Embassadors expressed themselves quite content. Ogoori Boongo no Kami, the third Embassa- dor, who had displayed throughout the most in- terest in the proceedings, then observed that. ough a civil functionary, be had received a tary education. He reéxamined the several pons with particular care, giving evidence by the manner in which he teok and handled them that be was a connolsseur, and thoroughly appre- elated thelr superior workmanship. The arms were all breach-loading, with the exception of one rifled musket, constructed upon the principle of the Colt’s revolver. Ammunition, cartridges, aod the percussion lint recently invented as a sub- stitute for the cap, were exhibited, scarcely ant explanation being required, the Japanese f dently recognizing at a glance the merits of ever ‘hing laid before them. With considerable satis- faction. the third Embassador then brought for- ward the ite manufactured at Jeddo, which posses certain Improvemeuts upon the American Eharp’s riffe, left'with the Japanese in 1554 by Com. Perry. They carefully and anxtously scru- tinized Com. Dahigren’s face while he examined. it, and seemed overjoyed when he declared that the ‘invention was very creditable, and the workmanship excetent.’” He remarked at the same time that he would wish to see the weapon tested before fully pronouncing upon it; to which the Embassadors answered that it had been well tested. but yet perhaps not so mach as would be desirable Commander Dabigren then invited the Japanese to visit the Navy Yard, and to wituess the opera- tious and effect of the heavy coma me a tion ¢ very promptly accepted, an oan Wednesdey ‘wae fixed for the event. Japmese were well pleased to learn that speci- meos of the various rms could be obtained and taken home with them, and received with thanks a book upon beat howitzer practice which wes presented to them. The principal Embas- sador, in speaking of his sword, mentioned that it had been in his family for four hundred years, and added that the swords of many of bis friends in Japan were known to have been niade at least twice as long. Tr Doring tb: B REVENUE OF JAPAN. interview the subject of the revenne of Japan was introduced. In answer to a ques- tion from Commander Dahigren, the Embassa- ders stated, after some consultation, that it smounted to about Sas ome, petncipal de- tived from the tax upon agricultural produce, rice being the staple crop. Of this 30 per cent. is the revenue of the general government, and 70 per cent. that of the rulersof the several States, each of which has its distinct though tributary and subordinate government. It seems almost impossible that this estimate can have been cor- rectly made, according to our currency. The total is y exaggerated. It w ulre a tax more than $i0 a head, or about a family. INVITATION TO DINE WITH THE PRESIDENT. ‘The Embassadors and some of their highest officers are to dine with the President to-morrow.

It was a pity that neither the officers of the market, or the police on duty om other occasions, were near enough to relieve those ers and their gen- tlemanly conductor from t! unmannerly and intolerable annoyance THE JAPANESE PRESENTS. The Embassy yesterday morning delivered at the Executive Mansion the presents had brought from the Tycoon to the President of the United States. These valuables, enclosed in nu- merous boxes and cases, were accompanied in transttu from the hotel by four Ja attend- ants, aud were opened to sight in ¢ nee of Miss Lane, Mr. Buchanan, the President's Pri- vate » and some others, all of whom were equally surprised and delighted with these fine specimens of —— art. They will no doubt eventually find their way to the public coll on of vertu, the property of the Govern- ment and people. INVITATION TO VISIT BALTIMORE. The joint committee of the Baltimore City Couneil, in conjunction with Mayor Swann, to whan was Fem, ap the duty of visiting this city and tender; the Japanese Embassadors the ms Somer § of the city of Baltimore, yesterday performe the duty assigned them. Qn arriving ‘nn Wasbington, the committee immediately pro- ceeded to Williard’s Hotel, and notified Captain Dupont, who is in charge of the Japanese, of their arrival. They were informed that an au- dience could be had with the embassy during the afternoon, as they were then about to visit the Capitol. Accordi. at half-past three o’clock, the committee were ushered into the presence of the Embassadors, and were formally introduced by Capt. Dupont. Mayor Swann, in a brief ad- dress, informed the Embassadors of the purpose of their visit. and in a most cordial manner ten- dered them the hospitalities of the city. On the address being \nterpreted, the Japanese evinced much pleasure, and one of the Embassadors. in tesponse, accepted the invitation, and stated that on Thursday next the Embassy would probabl find in convenient to visit the city, and woul remain one day, not being able to inakea longer stay on account of previous arrangements entered into for their visit to Philadelphia and New York. After these ce-emonies were concluded, the Em- bassadors made many inquiries concerning the location of Baltimore, its size, as also its distance from Philadelphia and New York. They also presented several members of the committee with their autographs, as also some of the native to- bacco of Japan. After some time Spent in pleas- ant intercourse, the committee retired, and re- turned to Baltimore in the 5:20 train, much pleased with their visit A TALK WITH THE JAPANESE DOCTORS ON INSANITY. Au ange interview occurred on Mo: day between Dr. Hill, Superintendent of the Colum- bus (Ohio) Lunatic Asylum, and the physicians to the Japanese Embassy. The follewing col- loguy took place: ie.

We have four hospitals in Jeddo for the sick, with Separate wards tor the insane. jo you use force or violence in their mamrtge- ment? We do not, but have strong rooms and guards. Do you ever bleed insane patients? Never. Are idiots and lunatics kept in the same hos- itals? They are, but in different wards; we Reve but few bospitais—not more than twenty in all; there may be some in private hospitals. How many sick do you average in your hos- pitals? From five to eight hundred, but all poor. Here the Japanese doctors became interrogators, and inquired: Have you many insane? Dr. Hilli—We have three hundred in my bos- ital . How many of these are insane? All. This reply astonished the inquisitors, who raised their hands, and looked at each other. What medicine do you use? Wine, quinine and other stimulants. Have you hospitals for dumb and blind? but separate. Have you medical gardens? tance Yes, None of impor- The Japanese here remarked that they wonld | like to get the seed of our plants of every descrip- tion for the imperial gardens of Jeddo, and they were informed these would be furnished them by the National Agricultural Society. They were also told that they would have an oppotunity to lum for the Insane before leaving here, which appeared to gratify them very much St. Matruews’ May Festtvat.—One of the | amar y days of the whole s ring time fell to he lot of the directors of St Matthews® Sunday School yesterday—the day set apart by them for their grand pic nic to Analostan Island.

Embarking from the wharf in Georgetown, to the number of some four hundred. the party soon arrived upon the pleasure grounds of Analostan Island, and the ceremonies of the day were commenced by the coronation of the “queen of the day,” f iss Emma Ryan,) who was addressed Seer ately by the “first maid of honor,” and replied bappily A congratulatory h was then made by the “page,” (Master George Sallivan,) and the formalities of the morn- ing were concluded by a few appropriate remarks by the reverend . The amusements of the day, thus prettily inaugurated, were then com- menced, and consisted of dancing, swinging, omenades, social chit-chat, and other agreeable nterchanges. During the day many persons ar- rived on Sn grenade: and before night-fall over- took the ire seekers, the crowd must have numbered one thousand men, women, and cbil- dren. During the entire day no event occurred to interrupt the stendy current of good feeling and enjoyment on the of the guests.

The queen ackn et the honor in a graceful and easy manner, and then ‘eeded toaddress those before (as her subjects) in a neat and very pretty address. Shortly after the coronation, a dozen or more of the Japanese, accompanied by Lieut. Porter, of the naval committee, and Mr. Portman, the inter- pee entered the hall peeeah the entrance lead- ing into the hotel. Imm iately there was a universal rush of those in the room toward this spot, all seeming eager to get a glance of the dis- Unguished visitors. The band at the same time struck up a nstional air, when they were escorted to the platform and invited to occupy the seats there provided for them. The long tat of fancy dances was then gone through with by the pupils, who endeavored by their performances and smiling faces to get the approving smiles of their Japanese spectators. And in this, we may add, they happily succeeded; for pleasant smiles of approbation were cons:antly bestowed by them bn their young and interesting formers. ith the exercise of dancing they always seem delighted; but | sabres so on this occasion, as this is the first time they bad the o portunity of witnessing these beautiful fancy dances. he gaudy manner in which most of the young pupils were dressed also tended to strike them most favorably. When any one performance appeared to espec =e gratify them, they would manifest their delight by turning one to the other and making some pleasant remark. This was not overlooked by the children, and in their various dances they always cast a side glance toward the Japanese to see if they were particularly noticed. ‘The list of fancy dances being through, the floor was thrown open to the others present, who en- joyed the inerry dance until the “small wee bours of morning.” “The Japanese remained sometime after the fancy dances were through.
