(farib. street, and stationed themselves in front 011 the private entrance which in reservod for the Japanese. hereupon began to gather, and utifi'ie many minatgs thaaelgh. borhood was closely filled with expectant lookcrs-on, to who?.; eyes, however, no satisfying prospect was disclosed until weariness with gazing had impaired their powers of enjoyment. Up to Hi o'clock tho Embassadors and their attendants held to their seclusion. At that time the door was opened, and, after the proper preparations which, from the superior importance of the occasion, demanded cautious action, the procession was formed in a manner combining Japanese and American usages.— It was not a darzling display by any means, and naturally not very striking UD the strangers, for whom retinues of thousands are no uncommon sight. T.'.e Prince of Statsuma, on his annual visit to Yeddo, is followed by twenty thousand attendants. But it was interesting to Americans from its novelty. After the police force and the military band came a body of marines, marching in an open square, in tho center of which was an officer ot the first Kmbassador, carrying aloft the standard of his Prince—an emblem not unlike many of the Masonic order—elevated upon a beautiful carved staff, heavily adorned with precious metals, and inlaid with niother-ofpearl. ' The prince of Hoojsen followed, in a carriage oeeupied ouly by himself and Capt. Dupont. Upon each side walked an attendant of the third rank. The sccond Embassador's carriage escorted in the same manner, followed ; and so on through the list of six or seven chief officers, in the carriage thus distinguished, the interpreters, Namoura (Johajsiro and Mr. Portman rode. The procession moved slowly, and the short distance between Willard's Hotel and the President's House was not traversed in less than halt an hour. Ihe Streets were crowded to greater excess than oil the arrival or thC}.Embassy. Windows were filled and roofs covered on every side The Treasury Department reeked with humanity, mostly feminine, and very demonstrative in the way of handkerchiefs. The iron fences surrounding the Presidents grounds were scarcely visible, spectators having fastened themselves upon every part, some clinging to the iron rods, some poised upon tho top, regardless of the chnticcs of spiking themselves, which seemed iinfbincut. The impossibility of gaining admission added to the curiosity ot the multitude, which reached its last extremity as the profession moved nicasuredly thro' the large gates, aud paused beforo the White House steps. After a momentary delay, the three Embassadors, walking side by side, entered the room, rapidly advanced a few steps, puused and bent their heads, then advanced again, and again bowed, and finally approached near to where the President stood, aud there remained in an attitude of profound respect. They were followed by the fifth in rank of the Commissioners, Narousa (!ensiro. who bore in his arms a box containing the letter accrediting the Embassy to the United States' Government, and were accompanied by Captain Pupont, Captain Lee and Lieut Porter. For another moment there was complete silcnce. Then the first Embassador, lifting his head, read in a clear and distinct voice, in his own tongue, his short address to the President. do not at ordinary times possess. The highest dignitaries had peculiar headdresses, shaped like hollow boxes, and set upon t.He ton of the head, where they were oonfined by long cords reaching down tlie sides of the face, and passing under the chin. These headdresses were black, about five inches high and six long. They were not cubical, but were broad at the front, taperto a point behind. They appeared to exactly cover the spot left bald upon the head by shaving. The officers next in rank wore similar, though smaHer marks of rank. ! changed, and bleeding is now a part of our | regular system. Q. Do the doctors in Japan take charge I of cases of midwifeiy ? A. There is a branch of tfie profession : exclusively devoted to this practice. The others have nothing to do with it, excepting in dangerous oases. Gen. Cass's residence, they were conducted by Capt. Dupont aud other gentlemen, who accompanied them through the various rooms of reception, and finally seated at a point most convenient for approach by those who Were to be presented to them.— Their neighborhood was at once invaded by numberless candidates for introduction, mostly ladies, all of whom were received with the grace and elegance of manner inseparable from the Japanese. The party viatiting the Secretary of 8tate was composed of three Princcs, and the five officers next in rank,aud the two interpreters. For nearly an hour these ten gentlemen sustained unflinchingly the unaverted gaze of as many scores of people as could draw near to them. Their self-possesfeion then, as it always is, was marvelous. The haughtiest stare, with intensebt eye glass concentration, eould neither move them to embarrassment nor reuse them to the least defiant glance in return. Directly personal remarks, not always uttered I am alraid, in the best taste, and sometimes unworthy the fair lips whence they proceeded, were listened to by those who perfectly understood them with.no sign of discomposure, except perhaps a slight compression of the inoutn, showing that insensibility was no cause of their immovable calmness. Toward 11 o'elock, the embassadors rose, and were again led through the apartments, pausing before a refection table, tho details of which no interpreter was needed to explain to them. The nurubui of guests had now greatly increased. There were present the members of tho Cabinet, the Vicc-President and Speaker Pennington, a few members of Congress, many officers of the army and navy, and a very full representation of foreign legations. The number tf ladies seemed greater than of gentlemen. The least unwary step engulfed one in surging waves of muslin, silk, and those other kindred dangers which evade precise designation. Mrs. Douglas, Miss Lane, Mrs. Gwiu, and Mrs. Slidell were the various central orbs, alluring to themselves countless satellites, seeking from them reflections of fashionable warmth and social light. On their way along the drawingrooms, the Japanese caught sight of Commodore Tatnall, who brought them in the Powhatan from Japan to Panama, and whom they instantly surrounded with every grateful expression of welcome. For tho few minutes that Commodore Tatnall was near, all objects beyond testifying their recognition of him Were abandoned. A little later, tho embassadors stepped into the dancing-room, where they gravely inspected the agile gyrations of fair women and brave men with an air of curious interest and occasioal deep concern, as if anxious as to the rcsultB of a salutary process so much at variance with their own theories on the same subject. After a few more introductions, the Embassadors, at 11J o'clock, took leave and returned home.

Ammunition, cartridges and the percussion lint recently invented as a substitute for the cap, were exhibited, scarcely any explanation being required; the Japanese evidently recognizing at i glance the merits of everything laid before them. With considerable satisfaction, the third Embassador then brought forward the rifle manufactured at Jeddo, which possessei certain improvements upon the American Sharp's rifle, left with the Japanese in 1854 by Commodore Perry. They carefully and anxiously scrutinised Commandei Dahlgren's face while he examined it, and seemed overjoyed wheu he declared thai the "invention was very creditable, and thC workmanship excellent."

Science has hitherto looked with suspicion upon the practice of medicine in Japan, considcriug it as less based upon natural truths than upon supposed supernatural devices. It has been believed that the Physician's functions in those islands were in tt great measure regulated by tho superstitious fallacies of the people; but the results of this evening's investigations prove beyond question that in this, as in many other rqgpecta, injustice has been done to tho iutclligencc and mental progress of this sagacious nation. It seems to have been settled, that, in their practice, these Physicians of Japan proceed upon the same theories as those which form the foundations of our own medical science; uud that although much restricted in development their system is by no means contemptible, even when fully compared with that of distinguished practitioners.Q.

THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. During this interview tho subject of the revenue of Japan was introduced. In answer to a question frein Commander Dahlgren, the Embassadors stated, after some consultation, that it amounted to about 8500,000,000,. principally derived from tax upon agricultural produce, rice being the staple crop. Of this 80 per cent is the revenue of the general government, aud 70 per cent that of the rulers of the several States, each of whieh has ita distinct though tributary and subordinate government. It seems almost impossible that this estimate can have been corrcctly made, according to our currency. The total is propably exaggerated. It would reauiro a tax of more than $10 a head, or about $50 a family. A. None at all. B. Do you make use of quinine ? A. Yes; we obtained it from the Dutch Q. For what diseases ? A. For fever. Q.

The event to which the .Japanese Embassadors had themselves looked forward with uiost anxious expectation—their presentation to the President of the United States—took place to day with much ceremony and with many forms as interesting as they were unprecedented. The preparations for this interview eoinmenecd, on the part of the Japanese, yesterday afternoon, immediately after the return of the Embassadors from the State Department, where they had first officially learned the time designated for it. Many hours were occupied in the selection and arrangement of clothing, discussions as to the particular observances suited tosocxaltcd an occasion, curious inquiries and speculations concerning the accustomed ceremonialsof the United States, with a view to discovering how nearly they could he reconciled with their own. It was intimated th it the Tycoon's instructions required the embassadors to proffer the same testimonials of respect in the rase of the President as they would do in his own; but that their sense of the wide difference of custom in this land from that of Japan had induccd them to resolve to modify these forms, while yet preserving their general spirit aud character.— During yesterdsy afternoon and evening the Japanese region of Willard's was a scene of great activity. From the rooms of the Embassadors through those of the interpreters to the United States Committee's, and thcnce back again hurried messages were continually borne by the principal aids to communication, Namoura Gohajsiroand Mr. Portman. The higher officers drew from the most sacred recesses of their well supplied chests, richest robes and most dazzling decorations, wherewith to deck their superiors and themselves upon the coming day. The under officers brought forth to view standards and insignia of princely rank, carefully setting them in older for their first requisition in this country. And the servants, who were to take no direct part in the impending movements roomed restlessly about, in such placcs as they were privileged to cuter, smoking and smiling with equal zeal,and remarking with evident satisfaction the preparations for pomp and display which so busily progressed.A.

Their participation in this event was, in one sense, a remarkable concession, for custom in Japan forbids high dignitaries to go abroad by night, and custom these rules. The intention of the Embassadors had at first been to adhere to this principle while in the United States; but they express some satisfaction at having set it aside; since by doing so they were enabled to share the enjoyments of so brilliant an A Beautifbl Extract.

[By Dr. Holston]. Are the Japanese doctors familiar with quicksilver. GEO. W. BHA1XEUD * CO., Upon the meeting of these gentlemen, after the introductions by Mr. Portman, Dr. Evans said that he was pleased to express the gratification felt by the mcdical profession that this new tie had been formed with tho empire of Japan; that he hoped l'or mutual advantages to the cause of science from an interchange of pathological knowledge, and that any attentions that might be deemed agreeable and useful would be gladly bestowed upon the doctors by their brethron in Washington. This Was translated by Mr. Portman and the interpreter Tataiesi Tokujsuro, and similar compliments were offered by tho Japanese. Dr. Ilolston then began a series of inquiries, which had been so prepared as to test in the strongest manner the amount of knowledge possessed by the foreigners, and to gain clear evidence as to their methods in the art of healing. In view of its importance, I give tho whole of the colloquy which ensued. Tho questions were mostly asked by Dr. llolston, and mostly answered by Measaki, the chief Japanese physician, though in some cases the latter sought consultation with his associates before responding. A. We are, Hut a dark night was abroad upon the oarth. A mortal darkness involved the nationB in its unlighted shadows. Reason shed a faint glimmering over the minds of men, like the cold and insufficient shining of a distant star.

It was at this period that two forms of cthcrial mould hovered around the land of God's chosen people. They seomed like sister angels scut to earth on some embassy GROCERS, Q. Is syphillis known in Japan ? A. It is very common.

His words having been translated to Mr. Portman by Nomoura, and repeated to Mr. Buchanan with other manifestations of respect by the Japanese, the box containing the letter before mentioned was taken by the interpreter, Namoura, and held before the first Embassador, who drew from it the document, written on parchmcnt and enveloped in a silken covering, and gave it to the President, who, in turn, handed it to the Secretary of State. The four Japanese then retired, in the same manner in which they had entered, keeping their faces turned toward the President, and inclining their bodies at intervals ; but soon after returned, this time the fourth in rank of the Japanese Commissioners taking the place which the fifth had before held.— The same salutations were performed, and in precisely the same manner. When the Embassadors stood again, before the President, the latter read to them his answering address, giving a few words at a tiuie, in order that all might be easily andaeeurately translated. A few words of reply having been offered by the Embassador, Mr. Buchanan stepped forward, was introduced to each, and shook each by the hand. Nothing was said, the Embassadors keeping their eyes turned toward the ground, though without any appearance of departure from their unvarying self-possession. The members of the Cabinet were next presented, and subsequently General Scott and the Speaker of the House of ltrepreseutatives. The viee President was called for, but was not present.

The Embassadors hold firmly to their principles of etiquette. While'recognizing the custom which required them to first call upou the Ministers of foreign Governments, they took care to visit only those representing countries with which Japan has opened communications—Holland, Great Britain, France, ond Russia. Excepting for these occasions, for the ball given by Gen. Cass, and for a visit to the President's house on Saturday afternoon they have not left the hotel uuless needed for positive transaction of business. This seclusion they will maintain until after the ratification of the treaty, when they intend to enter very fully into the investigation ol ail that surrounds them. They were yes terday invited to ride to the Patent Office, but declined, until their self-imposed impediment to free association with our people u removed. A.

Suddonly a light like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith nnd Hope hailed with exulting goners the ascending star of liethlehciu. of lovo. Q.

This last offer greatly delighted the doctors. Just before leaving, Dr. Holston said that the meetinj* had been exceedingly pleasant nnd useful; and that it would have the effect of disabusing the physicians ol' America of many misapprehensions they had entertained concerning the Japanese Mcdical system. With further compliments, especially hearty on the part of the Japanese, whom I have not before seen so demonstotive, the committee then retired, expressing among themselves the great satisfaction their vi»it had given them.

The superintendent of this institution is instructed to givo him his care and tuition, and finally, if his course is well fulfilled, to give him a diploma, whereupon he becomes a doctor in fact, and may pursue the profession. The interview last Friday evening be twee 11 the Japanese and American physicians,wis only the first of a series of practical discussions, to which the visitors have been, or urc to be. invited. The second took place on Saturday- afternoon, when Commander lJahlgren of the Washington Navy-Yard exhibited to the principal Embassadors a number of the most finelywrought American firearms, giving, also, explanations of their mechanism, and illustrations of the manner in which they arc used. Commander Dahlgrecn was introduced by Lieut.

This morning there was less agitation, all principal preliminaries having been carefully decided upon and settled. A certain air of solemnity, not to say mystery, pervaded the corridors and apartments of the Japanese qnarter. Seriousness for a while took the place of that frollicing humor which almost always characterizes the Japanese officers.

After this, still bowing with formal precision, and never turning their backs, the Japanese finally retired to the ante-room which was reservod for them. The interview lasted only half an hour, its briefness aiding its effect. The dresses of the Japanese were much more gorgeous than any they had previously appeared in. The first Embassador wore robes of blue and pnrple'crape, with richly embroidered tronscrs of silk.
