Gket-b of Fommy, the Specimen of xs ‘Young Japan. der, de - de. ‘The Japanese, at last eafe in New York, enjoyed yester ai the Metropolitan, that rest and quiet which they 0 Jong desired, and which has been too long denied AN day, and even up toa late honr of tha night, and street opporite the Hotel were crowded people who would stop to look at the Japanese. The ‘persons in this crowd were continually changing, but not ‘eg than five hundred people were stationed at all times se day in front of the hotel. Early in the morning or two of the officers waved their hands and fans to frowd, but when told by Captain Porter that this bt create some noise and disturbance, and that some pect should be shown to the Christian Sabbath, they digted, and during the day the assemblage was not fa- , red with the sight of a Japanese, except when one would wecidentaly approach the window. There were a few + te, chiefly fro boys, for “Tommy,” but these soon absided, and during the entire day the most perfect sAgrfand-quiet prevailed. Not only in the crowd, but iM along the streets, the convergation was albout the Japanese and their splendid reception, and a small crowd, @ontinually changing, surrounded the window of a car- Faige depository in Broadway where a few Japanese ving and dresses were exhibited. These evidences that the quiet—so strongly contrasting with the de- monstrations at Washington—was owing, front of the Metropolitan was still gay with ite thousands of American and Japanese flags and ite vari-colored lan- ‘nter the second floor of the hotel but guests of the 20 who were provided with tickets, and persons sup- d with passes by the Naval Commission.’ So rigidly this rule enforced that one of the guests, being with- @ut a ticket, was refneed entrance, and left the hotel in ‘igh dudgeon in consequence, Across the vestibule, on we third floor (from eeserved exclusively for the private room of the Embassy, bars were placed, guarded by policemen, and but those under the charge of the committee were to pass.

The well known Tommy belongs te this class, and is not a prince. He is merely s geptieman of the lower order of nobility; only one the principal officers being person—a doctor—of below bim in rank. The Censor and his four ad- visers, who are merely spies upon the’ Embassy, are jamong these officers. ‘Then come a large number of sel- |, who correspond in rank to the retainers of ancient ights, and although poor, are held in Japan to be far ‘superior to merchants or civilians.

After dinner they amused themescives by rambling through the hotel, with every arrangement of which they seemed delighted.

Their opinion of the articles of food was expressed as follows:—‘Like rice and eggs very much, fish very much, very much chicken; no like milk, butter or eggs.”” Two of the officers were confined to their rooms yesterday from over fatigue, for they are very easily tired, and railroading affects them with & sort of sea-sicknees. The princes and prin- cipal officers kept their rooms and enjoyed themselves with pipes and conversation. Others were engaged in un- packing luggage and arranging their rooms, but the ma- jority rambled through the hotel, mounting to the roof to look at New York, inspecting and asking questions about everything they saw, admiring the pictures of Japan upon the walls, making acquaintances among the gneate of the house; calling upon the ladies, smoking and sketching in the garden, attempting to discover the principle of the hotel annunciator, and in other ways whiling away the time. The Hsraup report of the re- ception was translated by Mr. Portman—whom, with Dr. McDonald ,our reporter has to thank for many kindnesses— to'the principal officers, and they made corrections that§Tommy was not a prince, that the first Imperial Interpreter was not a ‘Tycoon officer, and that the fourth Ambassador was not Governor of Awage at the time of the killing of the Russians, refersed to in a former report. The chief Ambassador was 80 overcome with emotion at the delicate attention shown in preparing separate and handsomely decorated carriage for the treaty box, that he could scarcely speak, and the Heratp’s description of that pagoda was received with evident tokens of great satisfaction. Captain Gardiner, of the Roanoke, to whose kindness they were greatly indebted during their passage to this country, was eagerly greeted by all. Many retired to sleep dubing the day, for the Japanese sleep a great deal, usually after every meal. The faces of all were radiant whenever they looked at the frescoes painted by Delamano, representing Japanese figures, in the officer’s dining room, and Samno §Kanaize, one of the soldiers, translated for the company the Japanese characters—which are the same as those of the Chinese but differently pro- Bounced—and commented upon the prescoes in this style: “Japanese lady—no city but country ;”’ ‘‘prince of Qize,”” “doctor,” “priest,” &, This gentleman was remarkably intelligent. He spelt his own name in English for our re- porter, and used very good language in his explanations. ‘When told that one of the pictures could not be that of a doctor, he informed me that doctors in Japan either do not shave their heads at all, or else shave them altoge- ther. The doctors attached to the Embassy are all com- pletely shaven. The word “priest”? he could not at first remember, but expressed the idea so plainly by pointing upward, clasping his hands and saying “God,” that he could not but be understood. It may be well to saya word or two bere in regard to the RELIGION OF THE JAPANESE. In Japan there are three religions—Budhism, or that of the Chinese; the Persian sun worship, and an indefinite sort of belief original with themselves. Of these three religions a detailed account has already been given in the Henatp, and it is not necessary to repeat it. The lower classes are considerably religious, the middle classes much less 0, and the higher classes have no religion at all, calling such things “stuff and “guperstition.”” There are yo priests attached to this |, and they have no religious rites or observances a of every month is a Sabbath, and Be ee Year, fourteen or fifteen Sabbaths come at once, during which time all officers of government pay their respects to their supériors. Only three of the present Embassy—the princes—have this privilege, and a grea privilege it is esteemed. Upon their rst arrival in this country, when asked why they had no Sabbath, the prin cipal officers replied, “ because they were good every day,” but afterwards acknowledged that they were athe- ists, The Japanese have several names for God, but the’most common is ‘‘Kaimi,” which means simply a prince, or a higher man. In a conversation yesterday with Matemota Sannodo, one of the secretaries of the Em- bassadors, which was introduced by bis asking some question about the Sabbath, he said that there was no God, and when asked how the world was made, he declared that it “came of course.” He didn’t know how long ago it “came of course,” but wished to know how long ago his interlocuter thought it was crea- ted, and inquired how this was known, and who saw it made. He had read about Christ, and asked if he was an Asia[man. This secretary is one of the most learned scholars of the Embassy, and one cannot converse with him without perceiving bis quickness and force of intel- lect. TOMMY. While the rest of the Japanese were caressing the chil- dren, of whom they seemed very fond, ang enjoying themselves in the manner above noted, Tommy, the es- pecial pet and favorite of the Americans, alone seemed dejected and reserved. During part of the day he reco- vered his wonted spirits, and paraded the entire hotel, exhibiting the portrait of his Washington mis- trees and declaring that she is much more beautiful than the portrait, The principal officers are not at all pleased at the attentions shown to Towmy, saying that he is not entitled to 80 much notice and parade, his rank in Japan being very low, and bis position as third inter. preter t the Embassy hot justifying any such parade. In tact the principal officers use Tommy as a sort of errand boy, and treat hig accordingly, and for severat of bis pranks be has received warnings from the censor, with hints of the (um) happy ‘despatch. These and his hard work yester- day at translating and conveying messages some- what affected him, and when we last saw him he was sitting <disconsolately alone, refusing all entreaties to come out and be made mach of, and bid- ing himself from obeervation. We are sorry to destroy #0 much of the romance about Tommy, but ‘facts, facts, bard facts, you kmow.”” THE ARRANGEMENTS thus far have been expecially acceptable to the Naval Commission, and they express their gratifica- tion at the conduct of the committees, headed by Aldermen Boole and Cornell—to whose secretaries, Mesers. Meyers and Matthews, our reporter retarns his thanks for much assistance. Of Mr. Leland they cannot say enough. His experience has enabled him to make every arrangement satisfnotory, and the immense re- sources of the Metropolitan second his emieayors. Consul General Burbage, of Holland, will pay his re- epecta to the Ambassadors at eleven o'clock this morning. TER OFFICIAL RECEPTION Will take place at the City Hall this afternoon at one o'clock. ‘The rotunda of the Hail has been recently whitened, and now presente quite @ rewpectable appearance , but the lobbies and vestibuies aro ag dingy ands dirty as ever. The Governor's Room has been newly decorated for the occasion, Inxuriously carpeted and richly frescoed. In the east room are the busts of Clay, and De Witt Clinton, the plaster cast of Jefferson and por- traits of the varions Presidents of the United States. The centre room. similarly farnisbed, with the writing table of Washington and the chairs used at the first Con- grees, contains the portraits of the Governors and Mayors. The walls have been newly painted, and the windows furnished with rich satin delaine curtains, with heavy gilt ornaments; vew heavy bronze chandeliers have been placed in’ these rooms, and the ceilings have been painted in freseo, the centre panel bearing the arms of the State. In the west room are the ‘flGrtraite of mil\- tary and naval beroes,”’ among whom figures that of Mr. Valentine, Clerk of the Common Council. Iu this room are also the flags of the New York Volunteers, borne in Mexico, a Mexicen trophy, and the flag raised at the inauguration of General Washington.

The official order will be found below. THE FUTURE MOVEMENTS Of the Japanese have not been determined upon, and what ‘has been decided the committee refuse to make public, in order to avoid the crowds who will follow our visiters. ‘We are enabled to state, however, though without any Official certainty, that the Japanese will have an excursion up the Hudson to Fort Washington, on Tues- day; that the Japanese matinee at the Academy of Music, ‘with “Poliuto,”’ will take place on Wednesday, the grand ball on Monday next, and that the Japanese will remain over the Fourth of July, and will not leave New York to visit Boston, Niagara, or any other place on account of their disinclination travel. It is hoped that the Ambassadors will not be annoyed by letters and trifling presents while in New York, and that no false teeth, corn salve, city directories, or other Washingtonian presents will be sent them. Let our pub- lic continue their present excellent behavior, and after their appearance at the Matinee, let them enjoy that greatest treat—rest and peace. “TOMMY ’—THE LIVE SPECIMEN OF YOUNG JAPAN. 18 HE A PRINCE INCOG. ? ‘The principal feature of the procession on Saturday, and the one most anticipated by people and talked about since, was the irresistible, fascinating, funny little “Tommy,” who has made himself, by his progressive ideas and ready adaptability to surrounding circum- stances, in a popular sense, the “big gun’’ of the Embassy. Already his name is known through the length and breadth of the Union, and wherever he has appeared in public it has been his fortune to be the Oriental orb around which has revolved a female planctarium in astate of fluttering excitement. As he rode along under his cano- pied pagoda, on Saturday, he seemed to be almost intui- tively known by the masses; and ‘(How d’ye do, Tommy,” “Glad to see you, Tommy,” and “Three cheers for Tommy,” fell upon his ear the entire route of the procession, with a beartines that, like good flattery, must have gone straight to his bump of self-esteem. 4s Tommy is such a favorite, and all the world did not see our Heratp of yesterday, we give to-day a more com- plete description of this quaint little Japanese divinity than has before been published. His proper name is Tateish Onojero, and he occupies the position of second interpreter to the Embassy. He is, however, a Prince of royal blood, and it is evident from the license which he is allowed, the freedom he enjoys in passing to and from the apartment of the Ambassadors, and the charge he has had assigned him, of superintend- the movements of the treaty box, that the position of interpreter is merely a nominal one, intended princi- pally td cover the object of his powers here. His age is about seventeen, and he is by far the best dressed and best looking individual in the Embassy. His figuro is good as regards height and proportion, and his move- ments are marked with ease, gracefulness and elasticity. His complexion looks{as if he caught and held the browned sunshine of two summers instead of one, being a very pretty shade of olive. His face is plump, features good, and capable of almost every expression, being, to use a French epithet, mobile in the extreme. His mouth is not handsome, bécause large and of the yvolup- tuous order, but he has an offet to this in a perpetual smile, which, while it lights up an attractive countenance, displays an en- viable set of teeth that glisten like a row of pearls. He bas bright black almond shaped eyes, whose restlessness indicates a brilliant uncertainty about everything he un- dertakes; but they continually beam with fun, and it is no wonder that this species of rainbow lightning con- tinually emanating from him, in connection with his social qualities, have made him the suc-- cessful Beau Brummel of the Japanese Embas- sy. He has already constituted himeclf a sort 8 AR PU ss ceens to maintain the dignity of his elevated position, To cap the climax, his straight black hair is gathered into a black stick of sealing wax arrangement on the top of his shaved head, that sets all the rules of architecture at defance, and above this when in public rests a peculiar shaped structure which the Japanese intend as a chapeau, but which is really @ fac simile of a thatched roof. As before intimated, Tommy dresses well, It is one 0° his weak points, and his colors are usually as bright as a butterfly. On Saturday he was attired in trowsers richly embroidered. His kimmunnoor waist. coat were arranged with Japanese micety, and a pair of bright yellow kids were contincally waving in the air the cambric pocket handkerchief which he ex. changed for the paper nose wiper common to bis country. men. ‘The great attraction bag te Doe a Consists in bis offhand sociability.

With all this, however, there is an indication of a shrewd kind of cleverness that is quick to perceive its own inte- Test, betoken: an easy confidence in himself, and the impossibility of his being taken aback by any combina ton of circumstances, no matter how astonish! ‘The grand passion of Tommy is excitement. Whether riding on an engine, rambling ou @ seventh story roof of a hotel, or flirting, just to keep hie hand in, with a bevy of feminines down in the parlor, he is one and the same and his happiness is in proportion to the vim with which he enters into the sport. He has the wit Ww know that he is in the zenith of his popula rity, and giving rein to uncurbed vivacity, he “goes in for a good time generally.

This took place on Friday night, and although the firemen and thee attendant engines and fireworks did not make thelr appearance in front of the Continental Hotel till twenty.tve minutes past ten, the streets along the line of route, and expecially in the neighborhood of the Rmbassy’s quarters, were densely packed With myer’ masses of spectators for two hours previontly. The sumber of applicants for admission to the betel on this occasion was very large, but all except guests of the hotel were rigidly exelnded, and even the correspondents of the New York and other jonrnals required a special pase to enter the portion of the house tenanted by the Japanese.

On the following morning, Saturday, the Japanese were astir early, to be in readiness to leave soon after nine o'clock.

People of both sexes and all ages were crowd- ed on piles of sleepers and lumber, all rampant with ex. citement and smiling with gratification. The Japanese of the lower and intermediate classes were most cordial in their acknowledgments of the cheers and other manifes tations of the multitude, and they waved their hands in retarn to those who waved their handkerchiefs, and repay- ed smiles with smiles, which made it very pleasant for both parties. Away sped the train over the broad and grassy plain, while the smoke from the locomotive Glled the cars to an extent which set all the Japanese smoking in self As the train passed a fleld of tomatocs, one of the Japancse called my attention to it, at the same time defence. assuring the appearance of a man eating fruit from his hand, “Tomatves,” ssid he, andl modded assent. He made a pencil note of tiis, as indeed he bad done of every- thing else that had attracted bis attention since the time of starting. The decorations of the locomotive attracted all eyes as it flew across the landscape. Laborers paused from their work and gaged steadfastly at the running columa, which they knew to contain the great Eastern Ambassador and his seventy satellites, At Burlington both sides of the railroad were thickly packed with men, women and children, who displayed the usual excitement on these occasions, and at Bordentown the crowd was ten times greater, and some diffieaity was experienced in preventing the doors and windows of the cars being broken through. Such shouting and pusbing aod anxiety in the cause of seeing a delegation of distinguished foreigners was, for the size of the community, never before equalled. The Japanese subordinates shook bands with some of the crowd, and waved their fans to the rest. After the train left Bor. dentown many of them produced bails of boiled rice from cloths in which they had been wrapped, and commenced cating They also drank water freely. “What's that place's name?” asked the note-taking Japanese seated next to me, a8 We passed o small village. know,” was my reply—which, anpposing such to be the name of the place, he repeated the same instant, and transferred in Japanese characters to one of his paper pocket handkerehiefs, which he was using as a note book.

But I was glad that the procession had now become a thing of the past, and so were the Japanese, who were a few moments afterdards, and at five minutes past eleven, cupied similar vehicles. The crowd in the streets through which they, passed was not great, and there was but little show of disorder. After a few minutes delay the steamer moved ¢way from the wharf, and across the dark waters of the Delaware, to the Camden station.

The steamship Hammonia, Captain Schwensen, arrived at this port yesterday morning, from Southampwa, whence she sailed on Monday, the 4th inst. Tt was supposed that the Great Eastern would leave Southampton on the 23d inst. for New York; but, accord> ing to the following card, no day bad beet fixed upoa when the Hammonia sailed:— The directors of the Great Ship Company have deter- mined, in consequence of the delay which has been caused in the completion of their works by the unusually un- favorable weather of the past month, to defer the sailing of the Great Eastern for a short time.

June 2, 1860. : . ‘The very latest news from Palermo asserts that a cas pitulation had been signed on board the British ship-of- war Hannibal, between General Lanza on one side, and Garibaldi and the ‘Revolutionary Committee” on the other. This capitulation stipulates that the Neapolitan army, 25,000 men strong, should quit Palermo—that isto say, the castle and the palace which they still held—with, all the honors of war, and embark, with their material of war, on board the Neapolitan squadron. As nothing is said about where General Lanza is to go, or not to go to, and as he consequently may transfer this force to Messi- na, anxiety to spare the populous city of Palermo any further contests in its streets seems to have outweighed—= if the news, as we hope, be true—with Garibaldi and the Committee, any other possible strategical interest. The news which reached us before by way of Florence, of insurrectionary symptoms which had shown " at Naples on the 29th ult., is confrmeg.

It was also rumored at Paris that the Neapolitan foreign Minister, Carafa, had demanded (from the French governs ment, it ecems) a guarantee for the territory of the Two Sicilies, and that he had also demanded ap intervention by all the maritime Powers. ‘The interview between the Imperial couple of France and the Dowager Empress of Russia had come off, though nothing further can be said about it than that it took place at Lyons. The dispute about the Hessian constitution in Germany is on the eve of entering into another stage. The Elector has applied to the federal Diet for guaranteeing @e con- stitution, which has been reformed in conformity with the suggestions of the Diet; and Prussia, still upbolding the plea of illegality of this whole constitution, which bas superseded another existing by law, has announced ber intention to oppose the proposition, One of the Vienna papers asserts that the ambarsadors of France and Russia at Constantinople, conjointiy, bad declared to the Sultan the satisfwtion of their govern- ments at the independent inquiry ito the grievances of his Christian subjects which the Sultan had instituted. We stated some time ago that an interview bad wken place between Lord Palmerston and an influential deputa- tion respecting the projected line of telegraph to Ameri. ca via the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland. We un- derstand that the noble lord has responded to the request then laid before him, by granting the steamship Buildlay for the purpose of making a complete surcey and soundings f the proposed route, and that Sir Leopold McClintock has been appointed by the Admiralty to the command of the Bulldog ‘The preparations for the departure of the expe- dition will be entered upon forthwith The directors of the Atlantic Royal Mail ©. am Naviga- tion Company bave rece.ved an official notification from her Majesty's Postmaster General fixing the dates for the fortnightly service between Galway and America, under the imperial contract entered into with her Majesty’s government, the subsidy being £76,000 per annum.
