F Mayor Wood's and Governor Morgan’s Welcome Speeches. What the Asiatics Did at the Metropolitan. INCIDENTS, SHOPPING, SCENES Ree Reo ae. ‘The Japanese Embassy had a very pleasant time yester- @ay. Their escort down’ Broadway by the Seventh regt- ment and visit to the city Hall, and the addresses o ‘welcome by Mayor Wood and Gov. Morgan, pleased them very much. THE MUSTERING OF THE MILITIA. ‘The military pageant displayed in Broadway yesterday ‘afternoon was in every respect worthy of the metropolis, ef the Japanese Ambassadors, and, though last, not least, ef that upsypassable militia corps, the Seventh regi- ment, which gave the finishing lustre and the conclud- ing glory to the whole exhibition. Whatever dry jokes may be cracked by village newspapers on this subject, and however violent aud unmanageable the demizens of the city of fraternal affection way become when ponder- tmg on this theme, the fact stands out in bold relief, as plain and ineffaceable as if it were written on monuments ef Corinthian brass, that the city of New York is as far fm advance of the other citica of the Union as the summits ef the Apeninnes are above the plains upon which they mile. The metropolis has proved this over and over again. In exhibitions, bazaars, concerts, operas, milita - Fy organizations, fireworka and public processions—to ame nothing more—it has triumphantly and incontes- LUbly borne off the victof’s crown. As for the reviews of the New York militia, it is admitted by friend aud foe that they stand unrivalled in the world. A body @f militia superior, or even equal, to the First Division of the New York State Militia, which so brilliantly paraded in this city om Saturday Just, could not be “‘ scared up” in the universe. In every fwch they are soldiers. Their uniforms were faultiess, ‘their arms were modern and perfect, their step was firm and soldierly, and their esprit du corps as excellent as that of the Algerian heroes of the army of the Second Empire. Wany man says aught that is contrary to this, he either grievously errs or wilfully falsifies. Let the rivals of New York, who would fain stride forth in her seven Jeague boots, jearn a lesson from her advancement. It ‘would be better to imitate her progress than to fume and fret in a surly humor over their own crablike and crouch ing pace. Fas est ab hoste doceri. The military display of yesterday was a8 great a triumph as that of Saturday, though of necessity much smaller. While the muster of Saturday amounted to trained and noble Seventh regiment. The people of New York, through the public avenues of their vumerous journals, are always kept informed of the progress of current events. ‘Thus they are seldom or never taken by surprise on great and brilliant occasions. The movements of the Japanese aré almost as well known to them as they are to the de- Jectable Councilmen, who so ingloriously preside over their movements, despite all their ridiculous attempts at pre- ‘vention and secrecy. They have, in some instances, en. deavore@ to suub the reporters of the press, but have failed as signally in the attempt as in their Pickwickian aldermanic oratious. The attaches of the press have found means for triumphing over every obstacle thus cast in their way, and by the mere force of their perse- ‘verance and unconquerable pertinacity, the public have been kept instructed concerning matters in which they ‘are deeply interested. The New Yorkers being thus “posted’’—to use a vulgar though expressive term—they have always been found in the vicinity of every import- ant movement of the Oriental Ambassadors. Yesterdaf Broadway was crowded by the “sovereigns.” ‘To speak truly and as of a general occurrence, this lead- ing artery of the city’s commerce, fashion and activity is eeldom or never empty. In tho early morn the laborer and artisan, the factory girl and the seamstress, troop ‘along its pavements and corridors to their daily occupa- tions; at poontide the ceaseless din of trade and the bustle of an active commerce are beard on all sides; and when the curtains of night begin to close around, the homeward bound toilers are to be seen “in numbers numberless,”’ retracing their weary steps to their friends and firesides. Even in the drear hours of night, when ‘égpirits are said to walk abroad,” the untiring and per- petually moving inhabitants of the great city are to be seen gliding about like sprites in the glare of the flicker- ing lamps. The tide of humanity falls and rises like the ‘waters of our bay, but at all hours, and under all circum. stances, there is always a reserve guard of unclosed eye- ids passing from avenue to avenue, and from street to of the great avenue, and that having lost the favor of the somniferous god, they have been bat too happy to keep watch and guard over the movements of the dreamy Asintics. This, however, was not so. The assembly within and about the vicinity of the hotel was very large, and continued to be 90, despite of the frequent ¢ ehanges in the elements of which it was composed. Peo- bhome to catch some gieams of Western civ lization in the throbbing cities of the New World. ‘THE KMBASSY IN REPOSE. ‘The Orientals sank into the solitude of their chambers tire from the public gaze, and fm silence on the strange snd wonderful prospect hhad been opennd up to them. The manner in which their time on Sunday, with all the interestia; New Jersey countr: » All was “bubble, Dubble, toil abd ‘teouble.” Tmiack spirits and white, brown spirits and gray—as well as a variety of real Mortals of all then heads — of colors—were to be scem tushing about, Broad wild excitement from the eartiest of the eirtiog One would have thought that the tremendous excitement 80 recentl: would have been for an bumber of ordinary beings; but tho pooplo of New Yor are beyond all ordinary beings in their powers of enduring excitement. THE GUARD OF HONOR. Tt soon became known that the gallant Seventh was to: of houor to the Embasey on their way General Sandford issued a general order Cirecting the regiment to forin late tine in Lafayette place at half past twelve o'clock precisely, aul the troop of horse allached Wy the corps were also desived to report ws to the Adjutant General at the Everett House, escort to the Commander-in-Chicf. The rogimont and troop mustered, pursuant to direction, in the phwes: assigned them, at the hour above named, where the: formed into proper position and prepared for the marc! down Broadway to the Metropotitan.

At last the patient crowd “wore doomed to be rewarded for their unflinching endurance. Far away from the high- est point of the crowded thoroughfare, the dulcet tunes of music broke Pe upon the ear. Fuint at first, like the sweet notes of a distant band beard iu the still Inidnight hour, then stronger and joader, #8 the tones of the High land band must have broken on the ear of Jessie Brown on the memorable plains of Lucknow. ‘Thea the red epau- Jettes of the musicians Were seen, followed by the gaily caparisoned steeds of the Drilliant ose Seveuth, The word now passed from block to block, and from mouth to mouth, with electric speed, “ They are coming—they are coming.

At au early hour in the morning a portion of the detatchinent took pos- seesion of the various entrances to the Hall, and strictly prohibited the egress of any but those having official bu siness therein, About oue o'clock the remainder of the police force took their positions inside and outside the Duilding., the Superintendent and his deputy being present, and by compliance with their directions on ihe part of their subordinates, the most perfect order was secured. Indeed, with one or two sight exceptions, the gathering in the Park, which numbered not Jess than four thousand, was a respectable and orderly aseemblage, and although they were competled to stand in a hot sun for three hours, they en- dured the physical fatigue with commendable patience. The juvenile portion of the spevtators climbed the trees, and thus were screened from the svorching rays of the sun, and the captains changed tho men at intervals to re- lieve them from the oppressive heat. The windows of the City Hall and of the adjacent hotels and other buildings were chiefly occupied by ladies, who made desperate efforts with their fans to keep cool until the arrival of the Japanese. ‘Tho passage leading from the gate to the Governor's Room was well guarded by policemen, who, although they succeeded in keeping it clear, could not abt ipl gied tobacco by the spectators, #0 floor presented a filthy appearance.

The dexterity and skill exhibited on former occasions by this deservedly poptiar body of our citizen soldiery have been properly appreciated by those who have witnessed their performances, and it is needless to say that they sustained their almust world-wide reputation yesterday afternoon. The interest which the Ambassadors evinced during the mititary exercises was highly complimentary to the regiment, and no doubt the Japanese were tho- roughly convinecd that the military display which they Witnessed was equal, if not superior, to anything they ever saw in their own country, ‘The band played several appropriate pieces during the exercises, Which contributed greatly to the iuterest of tho ctacle.

The deputation alighted from their carriages in the or- der in which they embarked, and according to the strict etiquette which is observable in all their movements First came the principal Ambassador, Simme Boojsen No- Kami, accompanied by Capt. Dupont, who politely trans- ferred him to the arm of a member of the Committee of Arrangements. Next arrived Ogoore Bungo No-Kami, the third Ambassador or Censor, in company with Capt. Lee, who handed him over to another member of the Commit. tee; then Morita Okataro, the Vice Governor, Naruse Gen- sito, the Treasurer, and Shakara Jhugoro, a young prince, or rather the son of a prince, one of the principal officers attached to the Embassy. Following these were Hetaks Kasaburo, an officer of the first rank, belonging to the Censor or Adviser; Tateish ‘Tokojuro, the Interpreter; Mr. Portman, the Dutch inter- preter of our own government, and one or two of the at- tendants of the Exnbassy. ‘The appearance of the Orientals caused all eyes to be | directed towards one spot, and amid a hum of sensation, ; which indicated the undiminished curiosity of the public, they slowly ascended the steps on their way to the Gover- nor’s Room. The Committee of Arrangements had been careful In issuing cards of admission, aud though the most strenuous efforts were made by hundreds, who by reason of their local or official position, believed them- selves entitled to the privilege, the passes were confined principally to a favored few of the friends of the committee and a single representative from cach of the daily papers of the city.’ The consequence was that not more than oue hundred persons were present, and the room was not overthronged by a bustling crowd. The central or main apartment of the Governor's Room was the one set apart for the reception, and with its Treshly frescoed ceiling, its tasty arrangemen, of the municipal portraits, and new carpet, presented an ap pearance which could not fail to make an impression upon the minds of the distinguished visitors. ‘The ancient writing table of Washington was placed at the east end of the room, a few feet from the mantel, and Dehind this, in citizon’s dress, stood His Honor, Mayor Wood. Ou his left was Governor Morgan, also in eitizen’s reas, while grouped Uchind him were Adjutant-General Townsend , Quartermaster General Mitchell, Colonel Thou- son, Major Skidm ro, and other members of the Governor's staff, in uniform. Major-General Sand ford, of the First Division, was absent from the city, but be was represented by his #taif, of whom therewere present in uniform, Colonel Morell, Senior Officer of the First Division; Surgeon Sayre; Assist- ant Surgeon Woodward; Licutenant - Colonel Bixby; anf MajorsJones, Richards, Foster and Bradford; Among the citizens were Col. Alexander Hamilton, Peletiah Perrit, Exq., Hon. Geo. Opdyke, J. Depeyster Ogden, and the Common Couneil. ‘The Ambassadorial deputation, preceded by the Com. mittee, having eutered the room, the four principal officers ranged themselves in a line in front of the table, and were severally introduced to Mr. Wood, by Capt. Dupont, according to their rank. With an easy, well bred air, they removed their long grey gloves, reaching almost to the elbow, and in a dignified manner exchangod with the Mayor the American salutation of shaking hande, their attendants behind, meanwhile, bowing low, without attenfpting to pres# forward and {imitate the ex- ample of their grave superiors. The entire delegation were radiant with the glory of clean talmas, spotless pi jamas, and unreproachable gaiters of white, while their richly mounted swords added to the natural dignity of their presence. Their attire appeared a little stiff and starched, and was evidently got up for the occasion, with a due ‘consideration of the importance of a presentation to the Mayor of the Great Jeddo of America. It is & singular fact that the Japanese are seldom to be Been twice in the same garments, for they have a cametoon like propensity for change. A description of one of their number, therefore, would, by no means, apply to another. Indeed, jt-would take the woman who tied @ chapter ja & novel with the description of a work: box, tf enter into all the details of the dress of a Japanese, for with their spread of incipient petticoats mantles and'other portions of raiment, not excepting the ‘universal fan; none but a woman could stand before these strange people, and gather upon the tablet of her memory the almost incomprehensible material of whieb they are composed. AS near as we can get at it the principal Ambassador on the present occasion was attired in a black crape poncho or jacket, marked at the back, between the shoulders and on each sleeve with the usual circular white mark, within which was the figure of a single lex®findicating the principality to which he belongs. Beneath this waa s kemmuno or dark vestment, the folds of which were brought across the chest im such a manner as to form an angle at the throat and barely ex- pose another garment of white silk immodintely under it, which doubtless answers the same purpose of ornament as our collar, and at the same time relieves the general sombreness of their appearance. His hakkamma, or wide skirt trowsers—an enlargement of the tatsly—on the present occasion were of a dark green material, riebly figured in gold, and wero held up by a bine silk cord, Which, at the same time that it formed » recess or ‘The crowd were un- the personal appearance acoutrary opinion.

This was bulged out fm an extraordinary manuer,as if he was troubled with a hoge tumor on the stomach, but probably con- tained little more than the little paper nose wipers which it is Oriental etiquette to use and throw away. As we saw none of these called in requisition, however, we are unable to speak definitely upon the subject, These trow- sers reached down to his feet, on which he wore white socks, made of a mixture of silk and cotton, and the ordi- nary straw sandals of his country, the bands of which, alike with the sucks, divided the great toe from the little ones.

From his gash projected forward the handles of -his two swords— the catapna and loykaizee—which, unlike those in daily use, were of the richest description.

On Sunday they were driven through the Central Park, and expressed themselves delighted with its admirable arrangements and natural beauty. Fairmount, with its immense flight of steps, miniature fountains and dirty looking statues, seemed to have greatly fallen in their estimation, and by the time of their departure they were able to praise some of the features of our metropolis, without complacently adding, But then we,have in Philadelphia, you know.”” ‘These gentlemen were heartily welcomed, and were most hospitably entertained, PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION. ‘The Japanese are a people who value etiquette most highly, and are as punctilious. in regard to their every movement as Frenchmen are said to be upon points of houor, and Spaniards in their forms of address. In their behalf, therefore, the Nuval Commission raised the ques- tion whether it was in strict accordance with the require- ments of the code of etiquette for Embassadors of the Ty- coon, representatives of a great emperor, to call von the Mayor of a city. In all other cities. the Mayors have visi- ted the Embassadors, or received them at the depots, but Mayor Wood declared that the Japanese must come to the City Hall, for the City Hall would not, in any event, go to the Japanese; and for some time there ap- peared a probability that the Ambassadors would not be officially welcomed to New York—an unnecessary cere- mony, indeed, after the spontaneous, popular welcome which they received upon their arrival, Gov. Morgan, however, having signified his intention to be preseut and take part in the reception, all difficulties were overcome, and the Ambassadors were requested to be in readiness at one o'clock yesterday. During the morning, therefore, the principal officers of the Embassy were engaged in preparing themselves for the occasion, and were occupied’ with their toilettes, After breakfast the remainder of the Embasey kept their rooms most of the time, and but few wandered about the hotel.
