A special train left Panama this morning, at five miaates to eight o'clock, and came over the road in one hour and fifty minutes, running time—one of the quickest trips ever made. A large party accompanied the train as far as the half-way house, where the cars stopped for refresh: ment about an hour, and where nearly all the party, ia- cluding several ladies, took leave and returned to Pa- dana Among those who came over were Mr. Center, Saper- intondent of the railroad; Colonel Totten, Captain Gard- ner and Captain Taylor, Senor Jose Manuel Moro, Secre- tary of State; Senor Obaldia, Governor of Panama; Senor Mariano Arosomena, Secretary of Treasury; Senor Jose Mario Hurtado, Intendente General; Senor Jose M. | Jumeriez, Intendente of State; A.

W. Rice, Senorita Adela Diego and Miss Du Pree. At the half-way house a magnificent lunch was spread, equal to the Aldermanic “tea parties" of the “Pewter Mag."’ Unlike those “tea parties,”’ where a bottle of Heidaeick or box of segars after ‘‘breaking up'’ would be in & curiosity worthy of Barnum’s Museum, there were baskets of champagne abundance of choice fruit, catadies of every description left. There were five car loads— some two hundred persons who partook (all who choese to) of the horphalities of the Railroad Company. Rice, tea, Osh, vegetables, &o., wore served up for the Japanese. Every courtesy and attention was not only shown the Japenese, but) to the guests who sccom- panied the train, by Mr. Center and employee of the réad. Whilst the train was stopping the Japances were ous making sketches of the locomotive, cars, avon house, birds, trees, plants, flowers, aad almost every. thing they saw. ‘There are some dozen or more artists, some whe take drawings of animals, birds, &e some ladecape sketches, ‘&c —each having ® distinct and separate department as- eigned him. The rapidity and correctness with which they sketch would astonish even a’ Yankee" ‘When the cars started from the depot at Panama they showed mot the least surprise, as they never do on any ocoasion, but expressed their delight by jumping up, langhing, talking, clapping their bands, emoki-g, and all Kinds of gestures. The locomotive that brought the train over was the Maazanillo, one of the finest and largest om the road. The engine was decorated with three {iage—the Japances on the right, Now Granadian on the left, and the gtare and stripes” im the middie, The average apecd in coming over was twenty five miles an hour, except a short distance In coming up the sharp grade on the Panama end of the road. The engineer was Mr D. 8. Brown; the con ductor, Charles F. Lee. On arrival of the train at Aspinwall the boats of the Roanoke were ashore to receive their questa.

This was oceasioned by the box not going off im the boat which carried the officer; but it was net long out of bis sight; Mr. Taylor went ashore and brought it on board « few minutes after the afliver arrived. The ‘‘treaty-box”’ is about thres feet long, two feet in depth and eighteen inches wide. This is covered with red morocco leather, bamdeomely stitched about the odges. ‘Tho pox is enclosed im a light frame, made of slats about twe inches wide amd balf an inch thick, resembling very much the frame about Herring’s safes. ‘This box is carried by two poles, about ton feet long, borne oa the shoulders of four men. There are, infact, three boxes which form the one covered by leather, One box contains the letter from the Emperor, or Tycoon, to ibe President; one, the Japancee treaty, in their own lan- guage; the other. a copy of the treaty in English, which they bring to have signed by the Presidemt—the origins! having been burnt up in the great freat Jeddo two years ago. ‘There are fifteen boxes containing valuable preseuts for for the President of the United States. Col. Totten, wife and two daughters, J. W. Bowne and wife, Mrs. Brant, and several other ladies of Aspinwall, were on board.

There are cight state rooms, four on each side, adjoining the fiag offi- core’ quariers, on the gua deck, fitted up im good style and comfortable mauner. Two of these rooms are intended for the two ambarsadors, one for the censor ‘and vice governor and the other five for the sixteen officers of lower rank. The rooms are sbout ten feet square, some having gun ports opening into them. These port holes are three and « half feet square, equal in size toan ordinary window. The ambassadors’ rooms have one berth each, handsomely fitted up with lace cur- tains, &c., equal to any of our steamships. The other rcom has two berths, but little differently furnished. The other five have three and some four berths each. The whole expense of putting up these rooms, subsistence, &5., amounts to little over $45 8 head for taking them from Aspinwall to New York—less than the [cost of carrying steerage passengers im the mail steamers. The aggregate expense of taking thom from the Powhatan and putting them on board the Roanoke amounts to $3,650. The Pacific Mail Company and Pana_ ma Railroad did not chargo full prices, otherwise it would have amounted to a good deal more. All business connected with the Embassy since it left Japan bas been attended to by Captain Taylor, of the United States Marine Guard, who came over in the Pow- atan. ‘The Embassy brings with it some $80,000 in money, which it is understood they intend to use in making pur_ chases in the United States.

MONTA OKATARO fs Vice Governor of Imperial Treasury, and ex-Governor of Kanagawa. It may be this officer, for aught we knew, that was Governor of Kanagawa some fourteen mosths ago, when a Russian lieutenant aad sailor were killed. ‘The Russian authorities insisted om reparation for the offemoe by detection and punishment ef the murderers, and removal of the Governor. He was removed and dis- graced, as the Russians supposed; but as his mame ap- pearsas ebief officer of the Embassy, his disgrace was mot very deep or lasting. His present position is &@ much higher office than Gevernor of Kanagawa NAURUSE GENSIRO AND SKAHARA JHUGORO Are officers of the first rank, belonging to the ambas- saders. Gonsiro is the manager of all Snancial affairs of the » Quartermaster, &:c.—and the Person through whom all communications to the ambas- eaders must ge. Everything, such as selecting rooms, Beats in cars, &c., im fact every transaction, however triding, is done by Gensiro.

MATSMOTA SANNOJIO AND YOSIBA SAGOSAIMON Are under officers, belonging to the Ambassaders. MASUDU SUNJURO AND TUGE HOSINGOR® Are under officers of the Vico Governor of the Trea- sury. KURI-GIMA HIOOHATSIRO AND SERVO-SARVO-SCOGERO Are under officers of the Censor or Adviser, NAMUBA GOHATSIRO, TATEISH ONAGERO AND TATEISH TOKUGURO Are interpreters. The first was formerly government interpreter at Hakodadi, and is the special interpreter to the Ambassadors. The two others (one boy) wore taken from the Custom House for this spesial pur pose. They can read our language much better than they can speak it. Namura looks very much like the firet Ambassador. MEODAKE, MORANYAMA AND COWASAKI Are doctors, They are the only ones among thom who shave their heads. This they are obliged to de whea a! home. Every particle of hair is shaved off. ‘The chief Censor, or Adviser, is not the one named im the Embassy at first as coming out. All the others are ‘the same. ‘The servants dress pretty much the same. Their dreas consists of the gown aad talma, made of different fabrics, and it would be difficult to describe themall. Their dress ‘appears at a little distance off like cheap blue cotton, worth some six or eight cents a yard; but it consista of light poplins (cotton, linen, silk, &o.,) of every variety of color aad texture. Muoh of their thin slik and fine goods have ‘a. emall, delicate stripe, a favorite pattern of most ladies. Shoes they seldom wear, although since coming to America some of them have adopted patect leather boots, gaiters and shoes—esometimes wearing ote boot and one gaiter, or one gaiter and one shoe, according to fancy. ‘The only shoe (that of their own) usually worm ise sandal,made of straw, something like grass matting ‘worn om the bottom of the foot and fastened by a largo soft cotton cord, which goes round the instep and fastens to the heel of the straw sandal. Another cord is fastened to the one round the instep, which goes between the great toe anc that of the others, ‘and attached to the sandal underneath the foot. This they stip off and on like an ordinary slipper. This shoo of theirs is supposed to be the style of the original san dal worn in the early ages of the world. THE OBJECTS OF THE EMBASSY, ETC. ‘The Embassy will remain only some four or five weeks, then leave for home. The principal object of the mission fs to get an English copy of the treaty signed by the Pro- sident of the United States. The original was burnt in the great fire at Jeddo two yearsage.

Foreign coin has never before been received im Japan till lately, excopt at a very depreciated value. At San Francisco they exchanged their silver for Amo- rican gold, which Purser Doran, of the Roasoke, has in charge, for safe keeping. This we understand will be de- posited in the Bub-Treasury here in New York, and drawn oui ae they want it. They bring a» immense amovnt of baggage—over eighty tons—which made four full carloads over the Pa- ama Railroad. They have fifteen boxes containing valu- able presents for the President of the United States. & They bave articles of their own manufacture of every description, some of which will astonish our people when they see them. They bave a beautiful specimen of Sharp's rife, one of their own manufacture, also one of those presented by Commodore Perry, made by Sharp himecif. The one made by the Japances is a decided (mprovement{upom the original, as pronounced by 8/1 who have reen it. The improvement consis\s in cocking, priming and cut- ting of the cartridge at the same time. The original doses ‘Bot cock on putting down the guard, which cuts off the cartridge, but has to be cooked by the thumb.
