The groat body of the community throe brought together went in stages drawn by four bones, while the heads of the affnir, se well as the heads of Departments, were in oarrlages and ba ronehes, with spanking horseflesh in unique pain. , here let us pass the party in review : 'The Managers of the feast, on the part of the corporation; were Mayor Berret, Alderman T. Mah er, and Mr. Morgan, of the Board of Common Council, and a most attentive trinity they made. On the part of the Congress Committees were' fle- . restore A. G. Brown of Mississippi ; K. B.

S. Phelps of Missouri ; J. K. Moorhead of Penn , sylvania, of the House of Representative.. The mirporatiOn, in whose hearts Providence had in spired the getting up of the frolic, was there in large force. Doubtless, it was the most harmonious session the members thereof have ever enjoy ed; and as they will remember it, so should the press remember them. There was the mayor and ten of the fourteen aldermen -=-to wit : Messrs. Dove, Bayly, Fisher; Brown, Ward, Durinington, Price, MoNerbany, and Clark—and nineteen of the twenty ode composing the Board of Common ConnoilL-vis: Messrs.. Abort, Tartan, Morgan, Jones, Orme, POwell, Tree, fiheekele, Martin, Mohun, Buhemel, French, Mead; Van Resnick, Ober, Russell, Cas sel, Clarke, and Given. In addition to these there were Mr. Forsyth, the city surveyor; Mr. Evans, the city surveyor; Mr. Randolph Coyle, the water registrar; Mr. Halliday, the city collector; Mr. W. I. Donoho, taxing master; in ,faet, all the °Metals, took a holiday, caving threw or four, who were obliged to stay et home and keep sentifb the city archives.

The - local papers, through their ready sketobers, seemed to enter into the day's doings with particular sect. Messrs. Bardy and Marsh looked upon the mane With the eyes of the Natsona/ bilellegencer Mr. Noyes twinkled here and there, like an Evening Star, and Mr. Adams, while enjoying htmeelf, was paying attention to the St4tes and Union. A number of invited guests made up the cortege. To mention the names of a snore or so would show you the " infinite variety" of the "feast of rea s on end the flow of soul," of which cash furnished something to be partaken of by all. I believe every profession wee represented, saving divinity, and that was left where it very rarely is, to the beautiful heaven above us. Chief among the guests were the venerable Se oretary of State; acoompanied by his son-in.law, Mr.'Ledyard ;'the Secretary of :thellnterior,•and Capt. M. C. Meigs, the chief engineer of the aque duct.

The breakfast gear, the cups and saucers, dance on the President's table as the ponderous omnibuses rolled by the White Rouse. As they faced the Washington statue the Father of his Country did actually seem to bo con fronting the roar of artillery at Princeton. The artist, I tun Sure, would have been delighted to see it at the moment. east the statue—crashing, dash ing onward—over the bridge at Rook creek, the Rip Van Winkle denizens of Georgetown run, ning to their door-sills, thinking, doubtless, that their venerable fabrics were going to tumble about . their heads and crumble about their feet. At last we loft the walls of Georgetown Col lege behind us, and got into the country. The Potomac, spreading to the left, laps the rook-dotted shores of Virginia, rising from which the hills look beautifully suggestive in the first building of biota sore and green leaf. As we progressed along the road, keeping to the route of the works on the aqueduct, the omnibuses disgorged their "human freight "•many times to view the conduits, the atop-cranks and gateways, the reservoirs and distributing apparatus, and the many objects of interest built, or waiting for the appropriations to be completed. Captain Meigs gave such of us as were sailloientl,y interested very luminous explanation, illustrating them, at the same time, by showing us how the machinery worked; bow the water could be let on and stopped off; how the waste-pipes were need. From the distributing reservoir at the place Called Drover's Rest, the gay and laughing, and serious and cogitating party proceeded to the locality of the great receiving reservoir, and the works at Powder-Mill branch, slatting and inspecting, the effluent gate-house of the large reservoir, which, , situated at six miles from the city, will have on I hand a constant supply of eighty-nine million gal lone of water. The brawls Is a stream that has I been chiefly turned from the Potomac, (into which it used to empty,) into the city, which it at present furnishes to the best of its ability. The surface of the reservoir which holds it at present lies at the height' of 145 feet above tidewater, (or at about the level of the cornice of the wings of the Capi tol, about 90 feet above the basement of the Patent Office and Poet Office, 100 feet above that of the Treasury building, 90 feet above that of the War and Navy Departments and the President's man sion, 80 feet above that of the Marine Barracks, and about 100 feet above the north front of the navy yard) From the receiving reservoir the' water flows in &eleven-foot conduit to a gate-cham ber of the (as yet unfinished) distributing reser voir,' where it enters the twelve-Molt main pipe, which rues thence to the navy yard in Washing ton, throwing off branches to supply the public buildings. The, completion of the thirty-inch main, from the distributing reservoir to the Capt.' tol, • will insure a full heed of water along the ; whole line. The Cabin John -division of the works was next; inspeoted. The most interesting objects are the tunnel which enters the receiving reservoir and the bridge over Cabin John creek. Of the tunnel twelve miles of masonry is already done. The bridge is really beautiful, and the largest single span in the world. It is light, graceful, and; strong. The width of the span fee two hundred and' twenty feet; height from water in centre eighty I feet; rise of arch seventy-five feet. As the cavalcade passed from one spot of In-, barest to another, it was a useful study to observe , how variously the objects around streak the MOM, hers of the party. lion.

There are Several of the Embassy who can speak broken English, but probably the one moot conversant witk der language Is Namara, who Is also familiar with rte Dutch. Prom all that we can gather, the chief ambassedor is among the highest in rank in the empire. As we elated last week, there are over Owe hundred prisms or nobles in Japan. These vary somewhat in'rank, acoording to the sire and importance of the province over which they pre side, or which may be theirs by hereditary right.

(ARRIVAL ON VAN POWNATAN AS BAN PRANOISCO. The United States war steamer Powbatan, Cap- F, Pearson, bearing the broad pennant of c ommodore Telmalkand having on board the long ixpected Japanese Embassy, arrived at San Fran- IWO at half past nine o'clock, on the 29th ult. She vas received with a salute by the United States out er Marcy, Captain Pease which was duly re rued. Intelligence of her arrival wee immedi tely conveyed by telegraph to the Japanese Admi al. at Mare Island, and at half put eleven o'clock A. M., the Powhatan got under way for Mare Island, .to undergo alight repairs that have been found necessary, During the voyage, which has been rough and 'stormy, the Japanese guests have made themselves ivory agreeable, not the slightest diaturbanoe having warred : but, on the other hand, they have inva riably appeared well pleased with their aocommo ' tattoos and the oftteera of the vessel. Three inter , prefers accompany the Embassy, so that the wants of the strangers are easily met. No sooner had the anchor been let go than the Powhatan was boarded by a npmber of visitors, anxious to behold the representatives of the popu lous and wealthy, but almost unknown, empire of Japan. A cursory examination proved that no thing had been omitted by the officera of the ship which could'conduce to the comfort and happiness of their guests. Etiquette Is a marked feature with the Japanese, and it is moot strictly preserved in their intercourse toward each other: although, with a delicacy and dot worthy of all imitation, they do not insist 'upon its strict observance in Americans. 'Their courtesy and pojiteness,,ae as their dignity and marked breeding, are prover bial. They are almost all admirable sketched, far 'Abetting the Chinese, not only in. this Particular, but in all the rest Of the fine arts. Every. portion of the PowhatanPa machinery, and every object that commands •their attention, is immediately sketched open paper with remarkable fidelity and ekeellenee of execation.

The Japanese ambassadors, ten of the inferior dignitaries, and a number of attendants, about fifty in all, same down from Mare Island on Saturday afternoon, and became the guests of the city. It wilt be recalleoted that, on Thursday, when the Ate* frigate Powhatan arrived with the Embassy, she i proceeded almost• immediately to the navy yard, the Japanoso all remaining on board.. The next day, the United States steamers Active, _Capt. Olden, aid Shubriek, Capt. Beggs, proceeded to the yard , and President Tosohemacher, of our Board of Supervisors, and others, went up for the purpose of offering 'the hospitalities of the oily of Sax Premise* to the Embassy, and Inviting thorn to make us a visit. The Anties and Shubriok arrived at Mare Island on Friday afternoon, and the • Embassy, in answer to the invitation to visit the city, replied that they Wald be pleased to de ito the next day. 'The' Ac tive and Shubriok were then prepared, awl on Satnrday morning the ambassadors and suite, to• gather with Commodore Tatnall, and other United States naval officers, and the inviting party, took passage on' the two small steamers. As they steamed away, salutes of seventeen guns were fired by the ship Independence and the /Wive ; and the Powhatan purposed firing a like salute, bqt on the first discharge a sad fondant occurred. Oommo-, dove Cunningham was standing on the wharf, not far distant from the muscle of the Powhetan's gun, and at its discharge wne thrown down and considerably injured. At firstit was eupposed that the injuries werelatal, but it was subsequently as certained that they were not very serious, and at last accounts he 'was doing well. The veseels then proceeded on their way, and reached here about onen'olook, when the ambaa sadore and dignitaries were taken in carriages, prepared by the committee of arrangements of the board of supervisors, and had a drlvtithrough the principal streets of the city: The attendants were sent direct tothe International Hotel, where apart ments were prepared; but the ambassadors were taken to Macon Kill, South Park, and Stockton street, and shown the - eity from different points of view. The muddy and rainy weather prevented their alighting, and they therefore remained in their carriages till they sat down at the Inter national Hotel, where they were shown to their rooms. Yesterday they wore visited by various parsons, and held a hind of general reception, and the plan of future proceodingo was settled. It was arranged that to-day, at 12 o'olook, they are to visit the house of President Tosobentaoher, and in the after neon return to Mare Island. Most of the attend ants, twenty-three in number, were sent bank to the Powlnatan yesterday, and the eireinnatassoe was en indication that there will be very little seen of the Bmialasy in this city. NO GRAND BRORPTION-NO FURTHER VISITS It is an understood matter, indeed, that this visit, which closes this afternoon, will be the only ore of the Embassy to San Francisco. The ambassadors have declined anything like a patio display, for the reason that they think that it might not corn pert with the dignity of our Government to reeelye them *Mir a reception here ; end they therefore lose, Pat_ 34, amistalsee,na,ti ou of etMitette, jn3. • Ong "that T hey Must 'present theraMeaa drat to a dont of the flatted States Government.'

They have all shown themselves very easily pleased, and exceedingly wall bred. When asked to try some dish new to them, they do so I if they like it, they continue eating, expressing themselves pleased ; if not, they taste no more, but never express dislike. The ambassadors are very dignified, and command respect. The inferior officers never enter their apartments without bowing, and the servants in variably drop upon the knee. They are all very light enters, but they take their meals very quickly; alMost everything they do slowly, but eating with them is a rapid operation. The subordinates eat nothing but rice, bat the dig nitaries are fond of sweetmeats, cakes, confections of all kinds, and canoes. None of them, eat any meat, except that the dignitaries take a little chicken, and none of them use either milk or but. ter. They drink both tea and coffee, and are no sooner ,through with their meals than they go to smoking their wild tobacco in small pipes. They are nil very apt at learning anything.. The manner of folding napkins artistically, for instance, which for any other species of the genus Immo Would require an apprenticeship of a day or• two, the Japanese learn by seeing it done once. Their powers of imitation are consequently very great, and for any kind of manipulation apter scholars could not possibly be anywhere Ibund. They learn to write the English letters In a few minutes, and can copy anything they see. The faculty of con structiveness, indeed, seems to be a natural de velopment, as also a certain serene humor; which is indicated by their universally fat, plump, smiling round faces. Another nationaleherseter. lath seems to be their inquisitiveness. There is hardly anything that escapes them ; about our go vernment, laws, customs, manufaetnres, country, land so on, they are never done asking questions. At the International they were very curious to un derstand the relations between Mr. Haley and his employes ; what sort of government was established there; how Mr. Haley could have everything at tended to so well, and how he could exercise so complete a control, unless he was a sort of prince Or master. And, it is almost unnecessary to add. they were surprised at moll which they learned in regard to the American people; and strange will be the accounts which they will carry home of 'the great nation which has no Princes and no Em peror. Tire POLITIOAL PARTIMS OP JAPAN. There are in Japan, as 'in moat other nations, two political parties—one of which may bo called the progressive party, the other the conservative. This political division extends to the nobility, and to the ootinoils of the Emperor. The progressive party contends for a liberal policy towards foreign ers, the opening of the principal ports to foreign trade, and in short the abolition, at least in a measure. of the ancient restrictive laws and ens. toms. The conservative party, on the other hand, contend for a rigorous adhesion to the old rites and customs. The progressive party is constantly in. creasing in number and becoming more powerful, and iedestined to create an entire change . , in the internal policy of that Empire, unless foreign Go. vernments, by indiscreet acts of their officials, should cheek its progress by entering, into open hostilities with the nation. It has been reported that the late Emperor of Japan committed suicide on mount of these politioal contests and proposed innovations on the old regime. This is incorrect ; he died a natural death. WHAT 18 TO BE DONE WITII Tllll I.OISIIATAN The Powbatan le to be placed in the dry dook at Maio Island, to repair damages sustained in her cruises in the Japan seas. She leaks considerably, and otherwise needs much overhauling. After re pairing at San Praneiwo, she will receive on board the Japanese end prooeed to Panama, where they will go to Aspinwall via the railroad, and thence to New York or Annapolis. PUBLIC! RECEPTION OP THE JAPANRSII AMEABSA• [From the San Franokoo Herald, April ' The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco yes terday gave a soma-offinial reception to the Japa nese Embassy, which proved a very interesting af fair to those present. -At twelve o'clook, noon, the beautiful hell of nekeea Academy of Musts was graced with the presence of the Consuls of Eng land, Trance, Bussia, Sardinia, and Hanover, all in full consular uniform : the officers of the United States army, including Brigadier General Clarke, commanding the California division Of the' Pacific Department, with a numerous and brilliant staff, and officers of the lino and stmff of every - arm of the land service, the Federal officers of the Custom House and Mint, the President and members of the Board of Supervisors, the Judges of the United States and the State Courts, the city and county officials, the officers of the State militia, beaded by Major General Haven, who was accompanied by Brigadier General Cobb, and a large staff, and a representative from eaok daily newspaper press in the city, THE ROOK The spaolons and beautiful ball was entirely without ornament, save that of a permanent Cha racter, but the eastern gallery wee occupied by the band of the Third Artillery regiment of the regu lar service, ready to welcome the expected guests with strains of martial made. A stage or raised platform at the western end of the hall was fur ntshed with emirs to accommodate the expected guests, and those who were to be presented to them as holding official rank in the United States or in the State of Ca' ifornia. The other galleries were occupied by members of the press, as presenting , the boat opportunity to oversee all that might transpire. THE PREPARATIONS Although our Board of Supervisors had but a day's nem% they used such diligence that all the preparations wore as well perfeotei as if a week Lad been given to prepare for the ceremonial of readying the ambassadors of a Government which, fniever twe hundred years ' has steadily raped!, aced all the overtures of,otber Governments to es• taloltsh a eloper conneetien with it..

Clarke and staff, the officers of the United States army in attendance, the foreign' consuls the city and county officials, several mein. bore of Senate and Assembly, thejudges of the various Federal and State courts,- end a number of other gentlemen, were waiting - fo 'receive them. The entrance of , the ambassadors into the racers. tion hall was heralded by the Third Artillery band, which played the "Star Spangled Banner" in superior style: The ambassadors were then conducted to the dais or raised , platform at the eastern amid, of the hall, and seated Recording to their relative rinks, the chief having his associate and assistants on the right, and occupying a central position. After be ing duly arranged Captain Taylor, of the marine corps attached to the Powhatan, performed the ceremony of introducing the 'various gentlemen present. The first presented were the president and members of the Board of Supervisors, then Brigadier General Clarke, commending the Cali fornia division of the Pacific departnient.

During this interesting interview the band performed several national airs in fine_ style, and we noticed that one of the ambassadors kept accurate time with his loot , showing a lunch better ear for our music- than-ia evinced by. the Chinese. IMEECEI 'While the ceremonies of reception and introduc tion were going on, the artist of the Embassy was busily occupied in taking a sketch of:the handsome ball and the. viumble of the scene.

I see in this the commencement of an era in the commercial advancement of this State and of the country, which in future timed-will be looked back to with pride, and pointed to -as an event of the first importance. Its importance, - Limn , point of view, can scarcely be over-estimated. To-mor row the attempt will be commenced to accomplish the quickest trip across the continent.that has ever beau made. I allude Ito _the newly-conceived en terprise of a number of gentlemen, with which we are all familiar. Let ns hope that this step, which must lead eventually to the consummation of the groat continental railroad, and the present anspi- Mous opening of the long-coveted commerce with Japan, will alike prove happy auguries of the future greatness of our comatty, and be attended with the prosperity which should ever attend legi timate industry and enterprise; and may this era of our national progress continuo until the white sails of our commerce glisten on every sea, and reach the inmost ports of countries until now un known."

A. - As the veteran 111050, ho was greeted with a perfect .tempest of applause, and the Japanese, as they heard this, and looked at the war-worn old man, evidently conceived the idea•that he tenet be a popular favorite. The General, when silence was restored, merely remarked that he regretted it had not fallen into better hands to respond to euoh a toast ae " The Army and Navy," and he hoped that some other officer would essay the duty. Loud calls for Flag Officer Tatnall brought the commodore to hie feet. Ue returned his thanks for the honor done him, and, in a few brief sentences, declined making a speech. His remarks were loudly cheered, and the band etruok up " The Bould Boger Boy"" Major General Raven, however, was not disposed to let the Commodore off so easily, and rifling, he said he hoped the gentlemen would fill their glasses.

Bat, gentlemen, there were others who took a part in it, and who. far more than myself, aro deserving of your kind notice Captain Pearson, of the Powhatan, (point ing to that officer,) is far more worthy of your re gard.

They are particularly pleased, as well as surprised, at the open -and frank Manner in which they have been treated at every turn.

Ly The New York Home faun:alarm from Paris that several ladies of the Faubourg St. Ger ain have recently revived tho fashion of parlor cafés. The mistress cf the house. dressed as a simple limonadiere, seats herself behind a rids counter to receive her guests. These, after paying the usual compliment], arrange themselves around little tables, disposed nearly in the same manner as in the publie cafes. There they amuse them selves with what games they please, and when they wish for refreshments call upon the.rervants of the house, who are arrayed in white vests and aprons instead of the usual livery. C4:11 f this kind were held lately in a large mansion of the Rue do Varennes, by a certain duchess, who an nounced that the first one would bo for a charitable object. She bad procured the bill of fare of tho' Café Anglais, and fixed her own prices in act cortianoe with it. The gratuity to the • servants on thin occasion was imperative. The receipts worn very large. For fifteen days subsequently her café, were gratuitous. TUB Peoria RAILROAD .—The Philadelphia Press of Saturday morning published exciesively the report of the Pacific] Railroad special commit tee of the House of Representatives, and Mr. Cur tie's accompanying bill. It is on able document, though All that part rela tive to the advantages and necessities of a railroad across the continent might have been dispensed with. The argument in favor of the Central route is irresistible. The other routes are like going round Robin Hood's barn to get to the point of your destination. That the road will be a paying one, there was no necessity for proving, because capitalists have long aim been sabstletl of that, and the paying question should have do influence whatever upon the Go vernment in voting the aid it (league to give. The great point in thia whole matter is the modo of grattleg the Government subsidy. While. !Ito mo d e py." o , E .d by the committoe, and developed in the bill, is liberal cud lair etvaQll, we think it i 3 too tuuol] encumbered Nvith sti!sufatiot.: end co:Id:- Vona The law should ho as Ample and us short XV possible. It could be compressed in two seetiml, at farthest, but we hope Congress won't stickle on this point. Let them simplify the bill as far as possible, and pats it without a moment's delay, and they will cover a ;multitude of sins. We are not going to vex oar readers with the de tails of the scheme further than to tell them that the road, it is estimated, will cost one hundred and twenty millions of dollars, that tbe Govern ment is to advance half the amount of the cost or construction In thirty years bonds, bearing five per cent.- interest. and this advance is to be made at the rate of half the cost for every fifty miles when finished, that the interest on this cam is to'be paid by the Government for telegraphing and transportation service, and that the capital thus advanced is to be secured by a mortgage on the road. The committee well remark,lt the sixty mil lion? should be sunk it would be a good investment for posterity. Now that the country has talked and talked about this road, until every child understands all about it, let the bill be speedily passed, and .the road be begun forthwith—this Hammer, if possible. We had almost forgot to say that the bill grants the company every alternate seetion of the public domain through which the road passes, within one mile thereof, and requires that the iron of which it shall be built shall be of American manufacture.— Baltimore Patriot, MA inst.
