Tho wail steam ship Colorado, Captain Ijane, arrived at thin port this morning, In twenty days from Japan. Hhe brings advices dated at Yokohama May 25, iiong Kong the Ibiu. ana Mhangnne, unmt, tno 19th or May. The Colorado has fifty first-class passengers and a full cargo of freight. Among I be passengers by the Colorado are hlsKoyalHlgness theDao de Pentberieve (or Peter Orleans), Count Beavoln,; and Captala Fuvel, who Intend to upend some time In Eastern California; Caplatu Garden, of ber Brltannto Majesty's 20th Heglmentof foot, who goes to shoot on the plnlae; aud Sasaki Yourek, a highly sharpened retainer of Prince Echizeln. Tbla last named personage comes to study the nines and mining system of California, He will proceed afterwards to the East, where be will purchase fifteen thousand of the most im proved rifles wblch can be furnished. The political intelligence from Japan of this arrival is of a highly Interesting and Important character. The vlult of the foreign Ministers accredited to the Court of Japan to the Tycoon, In the city of Osaca, was brought to a conolu Blon on the 20th of May, and the diplomatists had returned to their posts. The treatment ac corded to these foreign gentlemen aud their at tendants Dy tne Tycoon atusaoa was of a most princely character. . Houses had been prepared for their reception, each or which was filled with European furniture of the costliest sort. French cooks, with attendant servants from other countries of Europe, had been provided. The supply of wines and liquors was without stint, and, in fact, everything else which they required to mage mem comiortaoie uuring tbeirstay at Osaca was furnished In abundance and completely free of expense or charge. xne representative or each country, with the suite attached to his legation, was granted a private auuience oi tue Tycoon, wno entertained them at dinner afterwards. The audiences and royal entertainment took plaoe several days before the official visits were made. At the dinners the Tycoon presided at a table laid out in a large room, witn nign ceiling, mted up hoi'y in the European style or outnt. When the dlDners. which were thoroughly French in detail, were over, a small but valuable present was laid Dcside eaon plate. - The Tycoon of Japan is a man of ordinary stature, and apparently about thirty-three years of age, with good features, bright black eyes, and splendid teeth, which he frequently dis plays in tue act or smiling, xie was dressed very richly, and exhibited a manner at once easy and refined. He understands thoroughly the European custom of drinking: toasts, and gave and drank the "health of the President of the united states" witn mucn gusto. At the official visit, which was of short dura tion, everything was In Japanese order. Alter tne usual commonplace greetings naa been exchanged, the Tycoon expressed to Mr. Van Valkenbuigb, representative of the United Btates. his great gratification at the establish ment of the new steamship line between Ame rica and Japan. "Japanese Tommy," so favorably known during the visit of the first Japanese mlHslon in the United Btates, aoted as Interpreter for the American legation throughout the visit. Subsequent to the official ceremonial the Tycoon met the Ministers at Hlogo, situated at a distance of eleven miles across the bay from Osaca, where he laid out the ground for a foreign settlement. This tract of ground, whloh Is a mile in width and extending back some three or four miles from the water, has been appropriated under tne same arrangement as exists lor auca pur poses in tne otuer ports oi Japan, xne anonor- aee for vessels is eood. The foreign settlement in Osaoa has been created about the very centre of the town. All the foreigners are aigniy pieasea witu usaca. Inabouta month the foreign Ministers will visit the west coast of Japan in order to locate a port there, which will probably be the port of Xsaraoga, in tne province oi rvauga. Among tue sports given tor toe entertain ment of the foreigners at Osaoa was a race be tween the boats belonging to the United mates war vessels Shenandoah and Wyoming. The officers ol the last named vessel lost three thou sand dollars in Deis on tne result.. or second officer of the empire of Japan, visited Yokohama recently, lie nas Deen until lately strongly prejudiced against foreigners.

Coroner Wtldev held an inauest yesterday morning at the Fourteenth Precinct-house, in Bprmg street. In the caso of Henry Buody, tho man who committed suicide on Thursday uicht, by BbootiBK himself tbrouch the bead with a navy revolver in front of No. 158 Elizabeth street, arier having attempted to kill bis wile Otterlie, as published in yesterday's Worid. Since tlie occurrence ot the fearful tragedy. some of tbe antecedents of deceased have been bioucht to light. It apprars tbat Bundv was 31 years of age, and a native of GermaD v. In 18G6. under ttae name of Henry Kloechner, he enlisted as a private in tbe GaribahH Guard, Thirty ninth regiment of INew York glate volunteers, and had obtained for himself a captain's com mission when the regiment was .consolidated. Bundv was mustered out of the service, and re turned to JNew York. Here he engaged in rais ing an artillery regiment, and received a com mission as major, and served in the army until tneena or rne war. He then received an appointment as book keeper at the State prison, Sing; Sinpr, but was discharged some months ago for his intemperate u&Ditg. HuDsequentiy he ennstea as a private in the Marine Corps at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. and waa soon made a corporal. He assumed the name of William L. Bundy. At the time of his death he was in the service, and had re ceived a tbree days' furlough for tbe purpose of appearing before the Examining Board now in scf sion in this city, he having applied ior a com mission in tue service, lie was married about five earg ago, but had no children. His wife was a waiter-girl in a German concert saloon, and, as alleged, had had an illegitimate child be'ore her marriage to Bundy, which he did not discover until alter marriage. On searching the person of deceased, a wallet was found which contained a letter written in pencil by deceased on the day of his death, and almost illegible. It was not pigned, bat the handwriting was laentinea as his writing. The following is a copy of the letter: Junk 13. 1887. I cannot live away longer my wife Is the cause of tuy death; when I married ber she was a concert-saloon alrl: she had a child before I got married to ber; I did not know It at tbe time, but wnen i aia nna it out 1 iorgave ner, mnce we naa been married, a little more tban live years, she got worse every day: she Is now nothing but a common proatiiuie, anu naa twice tnea to poison me; sue aoes not want to get divorced, but says that nothing will please ber better tban to see me under the ground. Bl nee I even yet do love ber with all my heart, and see that she Is forever lost, I bave no desire to live any longer, and wish tbe world good-bye. Any further Inlormatlon can be got of George Roothby. corner of Forsyth and Delancey streets. I am now a Corporal lu tne Marine Jiarracas, urooaiyn; you win mere nnd a record of my character tor tbe last five years." On his person was also found the furlough referred to above, signed by Colonel W. W. BhutUeworth, commanding the post. Tbe docu ment is dated on the 7th mat., and expired on the lOtb. At the conclusion of tho icfltimony taken before the Coroner, the jury.rendered a verdict of suicide by shooting. Mrs. Bundy's wound is progressing wen, ana she is not in any danger. The remains of the deceased were taken in charge by a number of his former comrades in arms tor interment. The records of the Estex Market Police Court fhow that on Tuesday lost Mrs. Bundy appeared before Justice Sbaodley at tbat Court aud pio cured a warrant for the arrest ot her husband, on a charge of disorderly conduct. Mrs. Bundy complained tnat on mod a ay evening last ner husband bad presented a pistol to ber head and threatened to shoot her. One ot the court officers was entrusted with the warrant, but was unable to nnd the accused, and the process, therefore, remains unexecuted. It also uDDeared tbat about four months ago the woman made a similar complaint against her husband. N. T. World of to-aay. ALABAMA. GOVERNOR PATT0N AND THB ALABAMA TAX CER TIFICATES. Governor Patton, of Alabama, in a notloe to the people of the Bute, after Btatlng that the tax certificates or receipts authorized at the last session of the Legislature are now being paid out to a limited extent, says: These certificates possess a substantial value as a circulating medium, or mis tue people may be well assured. The aggregate amouut of Btate taxes to oe coiiectea tue ensuing iau win be overSKOO.000. It Is not probable that, during the entire year, more tban one-eighth of this amount or ceruncates win pe paia out Dy tue Btate. They are redeemable In payment of Inxea. licenses, and all other State dues. The collection of taxes will ooromenoe on the 1st of October next, and the certificates will then necessarily be in demand, as the taxes to be collected will exceed the circulation In the proportion of at least eight to one. Tax collectors will not only be reaulred by law to receive them for taxes, but they will be specifically Instructed to do so. It Is earnest ly hoped, therefore, that business men and the people generally will unhesitatingly accept these certificates as currency. Merchants and traders may take inem without the least fear or loi-s. Tbey may De assurea mat tue mate will redeem every pledge upon the race or the circu lation, and every pledge herein put forth in re gard to It. Two Important objects are aimed at by this circulation one is to carry on tbe Btate government ana maintain its croait unim paired, and the other Is to furnish a ourrenoy wblch will not only enable tue people to pit their taxes, out incidentally aia tuein in oral nary business transactions. No report has yet been received from the Attorney-General as to tbe liability or these notes to tbe tax levied on municipal note wben paid out by bankers. There Is great reason to hope that the opinion Will be ravorauie. it. m. patton, uovernor or Aiaoaoia. MEXICO.

The National Intelligencer of this morning says: "It is understood in official circle tbat the Attorney-General holds that State officers cannot be removed, by virtue of the Judgment of military commissions, by the Southern Mili tary commanders, we nave already statea that his opinion went tbe length of totally de nying tbe power of these commanders to remove such officers In any case. In respeot to appointments to fill vacancies, however occa sioned, he also holds the Reconstruction acts (so called) contemplate an election by the people, it is scarcely necessary to auu tnat tne President and his Cabinet concur with the Attorney-General In tbese views, as we have heretofore stated that the opinion, a a whole, was approved of by tbem.

' : I- The third of the series of matches between Dexter and Lady Thorn came off yesterday afternoon on the Fashion Course, In presence of numerous visitors, but not of so large a number as were present at the first match, Al uoh of tbe interest attached to tbe race when the matches weTe first made whs loet through the general belief that Dexter waa Invincible, and would as certainly triumph in this Instance as .he had done in the two former. The pool selling and the betting served as Illustrations of this opinion, as the odds were about ten to one in his favor.. He looked re markably well, quite a well as on any former occasion, aud his nervous, energetic gait spoke volume in his favor. . The mare, too, looked well, and did not appear so fretful and uneasy wben brought upon the track a she bad dona on the two previous occasions, while her steady stride when warming up betokened unusual vigor, and gave aHsuranoe tbat the contest between her and Dexter would be such an Is seldom seen on a race course. Tue raoe was two mile heals and repeat, In harness, for a slake of $2000. .. . The first heat was trotted in remarkably quick time, being within half a second of tbe famous performance of Flora Temple, and was won by Dexter by about an open length, after one of the most beautiful contests ever witnessed. Tun horses were close together throughout the heat, at no time being over a length apart, and at times trotted alongside of eacn other. Neither broke nor made a false step throughout the heat, but trotted squarely and with such prodl- Sious speed tbat the first mile was trotted la 24, and the beat lu 4 61. The second heat waa very similar to the first, except tbat tbe horses were geuorally oloser to each other during the greater portion of the race, and for much of the distance resembled a double team. It was only after th jy had entered npon the homestretch and got nearly to the stand that this beautiful picture vanished by the mare breaking np and allowing the horse to reach the score a few lengths ahead, in Tbe trotting and the manner in wblcn the raoe was conducted throughout elicited general approbation, and must be regarded a the most successful one of the season, not the slightest delay or untoward incident occurring.

Viscount Pollinirton's book, entitled "Half Bound the Old World," Just published in Eng land, has the following description of the crown jewels of Persia: . "We went through the first court of the palace, and were ushered up a very narrow and steep staircase Into a small room, where we found the King's ald-de camp awaiting us. The designs on the wall here were very well drawn, and the decorations more tasteful than ordinary. The chairs were of pure chased gold, as was also a sort of dumb-waiter that stood in one corner. Ot these chairs the Shah possesses forty; of the dumb-waiters nine I Of course, under the gold are wooden supports, unseen. After some tea tbe jewels wero brought in for our inspec tion m detail. It would be impossible to describe even a tithe of them, or the impression they produced In our eyes. Their value, patting a moderate estimate on them, could not. In our own judgment, and that of the four gentlemen who saw them with na, by any possibility be under forty or fifty millions of pounds, that is, if they were to be sold singly. Of course, in the aggregate, no fortune would suffice to pay for them, and therefore their true value must be depreciated. "We must attempt to describe a few in the i order they were shown to us. An evidently French jewel-case was brought in first and placed on a table, round which we eagerly gathered, awaiting its opening. In this were some forty gold rings, each with a Bingle diamond, of which the largest (diamond, not ring) was some one and a half inch round, and the smallest a quarter of an Inch. One was a large jellow diamond. Two diamonds were placed as pendants at tbe end of a largo neck lace ot pearls, and there were two pearl neck laces, each pearl periectiy round and white, and about as large as a good-sized pea. In two little drawers were two or three more necklaces, the pearls this time much larger; and In the bottom drawer another of tbe largest pearls we had yet seen, arranged an oblong one and a round one alternately eacn, witnout tne slightest exagge ration, the size ot an unripe cherry. Thta casket alwajs toiiows the snan wherever be goes. "Next came a collection of a dozen belts, each surpassing the preceding one in costliness and taste. One of these had the fastening buckle, about eight inches long and three broad, studded witn perfect rubies, eacn aDout bait an inch round, set In cold. Another, diamonds only; a third, a whole band set In emeralds and dia monds, and so on. We were then shown four sabres; all had the flat side of the scabbard richly enamelled in gold; one was one blaze of diamonds on the hilt and scabbard; another was studded with pearls like large peas; a third was set with diamonds and other stones, to re present flowers. Two other necklaces we were shown were about two and a half feet long each, and formed of large emeralds, each about oue inch and a quarter lonir, alternating with bunches of pearls. The last tray of jewels was the bonne boustie. Oa this was displayed a belt of pliant gold work, the buckle consisting of tho delebratod 'Dcrlcti noir,' or 'Sea of Light;' a diamond periectiy flat, except at the edges, and almost two Inches long by one aid a quarter In breadth; it was set round with other smaller diamonds; with this there were some bracelets of uncut rubies and emeralds, quite at large as pigeon's eggs for the most part. The largest turquoise we saw was perfectly flat, and about one inch by a half. We saw one of the Imperial crowns; tne other was kept in the Inner treasury in the harem, which is only opened once a year; on the top of this is the famous ruby that once belonged to Aurung eebe, a good deal larger than a pigeon's egg, and uncut. A black velvet robe, with dlaraoud but tons and frogs, looked lugubrious, but priceless: others, with the collar and sleeves completely covered with large pearls, were amongst some of the things we saw."
