Fhe Steamer Presented to the President by the Emperor of Japan. Arrival of the Officers and Crew of the | Fenimore Cooper. THE JAPANESE EMBASSY DAILY EXPECTED, &., &e., &s, His Imperial Japanese Majeaty’s war steamer Candin- marruh, commanded by Kat-sin-tarroh, a captain in the Japanese Mavy, arrived at San Francisco March 17, and anchored off Vallejo street wharf at three o'clock P. Sf.» after thirty-seven days passage from Uragawa, and having on board the Chief Admiral of the Imperial Japanese navy, Co-ser-ko-ma-sa-no-ci-um. The object of the visit of the Candiamarruh fe as @ tender or preceding vessel to the United ‘States steamship Powhatan, which left Jeddo on the 10th of February bound to San Francisco, baving on board the Japances Ambassadors, and suit of seventy, seut by tho Emperor to Washington. The following are the names of the officers of the ship:—Admiral, Co-ser-ke-ma-s1-no-cl- um; Captain, Kat-ain-tarroh; Captain Attending, Manage ro; Lieutenants, So-ko-rab-to-to-sah, Okeomo, Yu-ha, Use- e-ro, To-mo-a-go-ro, Eu-ab-ket-che; Chief Kaginecr, Ha- ma-ge-ro; Second Engineer, Kiv-ge-ro; four midshipmen, three doctors, and seventy before the mast. ‘The steamer mounts ten guns, viz:—Four eighteen and six thirty-two pounders. She also mounts four swivels and one howitzer. She brought as passengers Capt. John M. Brooke, U. 8. N.; Mr. E M. Kern, U.S. N., and nine of the crew of the late United States schooner J. Feni more Cooper, which was wrecked at Yokahams on the 23d of August, 1859. 4 THE PASSAGE OVER. ‘The Candinmarruh has been thirty-seven days sailing to this port from Japan. Hor engines were not used but during three days in getting off the Japancee coast. She galls pretty well, having made about two hundred miles in one day. She was built in Holland for the Japanese Em- peror, and was sent out in her present condition about three yearsago, She cost $70,000. Our San Francisco correspondent writing on the 20th ult. says: We visited the ship yesterday, on her arrival, and were there introduced to Capt. Brooke and Mr. Kern, from whom we obtained many interesting details of the pas- Sage. This is oue of several steamers composing the qJa panese navy. She is the first one that has left the country for a foreign port, and, perhaps, would not bave been al- lowed to come except that the two above mentioned offi. cers happened to be in Yokahama to attend them. Tre exprees object is to await the arrival here of the Powha- tan, when ghe will at once return to report the safe arrival of the Ambassadors and suite.

There were no punishments of any kind inflicted on the crew, everything going pleasantly and ‘easily from the first. The goverument on board is mild ‘ana humane. The science of navigation is thoroughly ‘understood among the officers, who learned it from the Dutch, at the school at Nagasaki. The instruments tre of Dutch and English manufacture.

At first, on the passage, the hours were not marked Off info watches, a4 in other sea going ships; but soon tho ‘necessity of this was made apparent, and the system was adopted. Tables are used to eat fromfore and aft— chopsticks being used, as with the Chinese. No religious ceremonies were observed on bosrd during the passage, nor were there any evidences of . They were heard, however, to pray to thetr delies occasionally in their own rooms. They looked forward with pleasure during the passage to their arrival Lere—exbibjting tue greatest curiosity to know about America, ita people, and institutions. The government was particularly 4 subject of inquiry. They were cleanly in their habits, and bathed frequeatiy. ‘The admiral bad four servants, who were constantly in waiting; but the admiral being a very seasibie mao, ex- acted no unnecessary servitude or formalities. In a gale of ‘wind, the orders were given entirely in Dutch, ana wore ‘with celerity and cheerfulness. The whole nau- tical education of the people, in fact, is based upon the Dutch language—thus ilustrating the policy of that nation to preserve its exclusive hold in Japan, and to found every useful art which they introduce upon their lan- guage. SCENES ON BOARD THR STRAMER. Tho Alta gives the following description of the interior of the sieamer:—Stepping on the spar deck, we were at once struck with the neatness and order which every- where reigned. Groupsof cleanly clad and reaily sea- maniike men were standing about, lost, or won- der-ntrickep as our , a8 We were with theirs. ‘The marines have a large Aquare patch between their shoulders, upon which their peculiar rank is written in Jepancee charactors.

On mounti the stops, President Teschomakor stepped down to the boat to agsist the admiral; but one of the captains signified to Mr. Teschemaker that he should fol- low behind the Admiral. Lieut. Brooks, however, ia- formed the Japanese that Mr. Teechomaker was of equal rank with the admiral, who immediately accompauicd two walking side by side A lane was opened amid thoee preseat by order of the Supervisors, and the be eeneye officiale conducted to their carriages, cach vehicle moving in the order of the rank of its occupants. ‘The Japanese were modestly attired, and we presume ‘Were not in full dreas, but their garments were com osed of rich etufts.

Lioutenunt Brooks observed to the visiters that they must not think strangely of the curiosity they ex- cited, for it was because the Americans liked the Japanese they were so anxious tosee them. It is to be hoped that our citizens of all classes and degrees will vio with each other in politenees and courtesy to these straugers, and create among them so favorable an impression that when the embassy shall arrive its members will receive ac- counts calculated to foster tho favorable disposition al- ready exbibited towards us by this strange but interest- ing people. PROCKRDINGS AT THE HOTEL INTERNATIONAL. At the hotel they were ushered up to the large parlor, where they seated themselves, the Admiral by himzelf on sofa, and soon afterwards Governor Downey, who was fortunately im town, arrived to be introduced to the strangers. The Japanese had evidently pictured to thom- selves a very grand and august personage for the Gover- nor of Calitornta, surrounded by officials and liveried ser- vants. They wore, therefore, very much surprised at seeing an unassuming geatleman, without uniform or at- tenaants, enter and advance to meet them. 1 was neces. sary for Capt. Brooke to explain repeatedly that this was the real Governor before they could believe it. They sur- veyed him from bead to fost, and looked at the door again and again to see the retinue of attendants, whom they thougat ought to be following him. Finally they got over this, and the Admiral and Governor, through the Japanese captain, Mangoroo, who speaks English, beld rn in relation to the interesting nature of the One of the first things that the admiral referred to was the condition of his steamer, and, supposing that the Governor had only to say the word to throw open every avenue of industry, desired to have the vessel put inte the dry dock at once and repaired—adding that he had Logi rd money to pay for it. The governor informed im that he would have the matter attended to at once, and would write to the high official at the dry dock, who was of equal rank with him, and who would have tho ship properly attended to. He also explained, as weil as possible in so short a conversation, the nature of our federal and State systems, and tho poiitical union and blended with distinct sovereignties ofthe States. He siso alluded to tho interesting fact of the officials of the two extreme coasts of the Pacific thus meeting in fraternal harmony, and trusted that in thus welcoming bim to these shores it was but the prelude to a large and exteni- ed commerce hetween the two nations. He also wel- comed him as the pioneer Japanese official! who had croseed the Pacific to America. The aimiral responded im kina, after which champagne and other refreshments were brought in. At half-past six dinner was served in tho best style of the butel, after which they walked to Valiejo street wharf, accompanied by thelr servants and @ number of marines, bearing huge lanterns and with curious devices, and em: barkea about nine o’clock. Ospt. Brooke, Mr. Brooks and Supervisor Gates attended them to the ship, and returned after partaking of « light refreshment. The admiral (Ke- man-ra to-no ka-m¢) was received on board bya file of marines present arms andthe customary boatswain’s whistle and roli of drum and fife. It is understood that national salutes will be exchanged between the fort and the Kandiomarruh to day at noon. Mr. Kern informs us that the Japanese make excellent sepeens but proved themselves comparatively poor , their navigation aia eo hering been confined to formidable The arms, consisting of heavy muskets, yataghaas of unique construction, were suggestive of the Wide difference between the approved style of weapons among us and those used by our visiters. SALUTES At precisely twelve o’clock yesterday, the American flag ‘was run up on the fore top gallant mast of the Japauese steamship Candinamarruh, and a salute of 21 guns fired. Immediately after, the Japanese flag was hoisted on Alca- tras Island, and a salute with a like number of guns re- turned. In the officers, with Lieut. Brooke and afternoon, the Mr. Kern, (ater whom, by the way, Kern river was named) visited our foundries, They are practical men, with an eye to business.

The corvette is understood te be a preseat from the Emperor of Japan to the President of the United States. The Admiral is nota sailor. He was governor of a vince, but selected for this service because his rank of mmodere would enable him to meet on equal terms our Commodore. To-day they visit Alcatras island, the steamer Active and the Fort. Aveblastake hands will be arranged as PREPARATIONS TO RECEIVE THE AMBASSADORS.
