Mr. MASON. from the seme committee, made a
reporMuthorialpg ibodlechajrge of Thaddeus Hy
att, sow ooafined in the Washington prison for
contempt of the authority of the'Benate.
Mr". fctJKNiß,of Hamohuietts,'welcomed with
pleasure the release of Hyatt from a filthy Jail, bat
could hot refrain from commenting on the aotion
of the Senate.
- He. maintained that the House was the only
proper body to make~ preliminary investigations..
The Senate had oertaln judicial powers, vis; first,
to try oases of impeachment; second, to judge
eleotfon returns, - and qualify its own members;
and third, to punish its.members for disorderly
conduct, Ae. - it had also jadioial powers, as to the*
conduct ofiti servants, and, secondly, when its
privileges had been violated. Its power, there
fore, of compelling the attendance of witnesses,
oould only be exercised when necessary to the self
preservation ,of the body. If directed by the
House of Representatives in the case of a charge
against an officer of the Government, this power
could be exercised, but not by the Senate.' Mr.
Sumner oiled legal authorities In support of this
view, and elabohated and illustrated these points
at considerable length.
Mr. Meson had drawn the precedents of com
mitting witnesses from the. House, whloh had . in
quisitorial powers. .TheSenatebad so such powers,
and oould not exeroise them unless the existence of
body was absolutely dependent upon suoh ac
tion, and not merely its oonvenienoe. He argued
at length against the -aotion of the Senate being
hereafter regarded as a precedent. -
The resolution for Mr. Hyatt’s disohargewas
agreed to. .
Mr. Haxlin, of Maine, presented a remonstrance
from the oltUens of Hew York in regard to the
pilot laws.
Mr. Gnsix, of Missouri, introduced a resolution
for printing 30,000 extra copies of the reports on
the Harper’s Ferry Invasion, Referred to the
Committee on Printing.
. Mr. Batabd, of Delaware, moved to take up
the bill to give the Sergeant-at Arms of the Se
nate and House the power to appoint deputies in
the different States.
Mr. Halb, of Now Hampshire, opposed it.
Mr. Batahd oalledfor toe you and nays, when
tbo motion to take up the bill was rejected — yets
23, says 25.
Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, moved to take up the
House joint resolution relative to the publlo print*
tag, ana make it the speolal order for to-morrow at
lit o’olook. Agreed to.
Toe army appropriation bill was reoelved from
the House with sunary amendments.
The lighthouse appropriation bill was taken up
and passed.
The tariff bill was taken up. r
Mr. Huktxb, of Virginia, argued that no change
in the tariff was necessary. The present tariff af
forded sufficient revenue for the economical sup
port of the Government, and for the extinguishment
of the publie debt. The revenue under the present
tariffwould go on increasing, and there would be
from six to seven millions surplus next July. There
was nothing in the oondition of the manufacturing
interests or the country whioh required a change
in the tariff. If the question was lelb to the manu
facturers of New Sngtand, they would oppose a
change. He read a statement to show that under
the present tariff our foreign commerce had greatly
expanded. There was a great inoreaie In our di
rect trade with the Continent.
He further contended that the iron interest was
depressed by fluctuations in the credit system of
the country, and by the revulsion of 1857. In Hog
land it had experienced similar fluctuations. The
tariff of 1857 furnished sufficient protection to iron.
He believed it enabled the country to weather as
well as it did the finanoial crisis of that year. Hut
if a change In the tariff was necessary, this bill is
oot the proper one to pass. The excessive duties
contained in it will prevent importation and re*
dues the revenue Besides, it was so complicated
in Its machinery as to require an army of officials
to execute it, and would open the door to fraud
more than any system evor devised.
Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania said he had no in*
tention to make ah extended speech. The present
condition of the industrial Interests demands a
change in the revenue laws, anl there exUteda
real necessity for an Inereased revenue. The Sena
tor from Virginia had spoken of what the expenses
of tiie Government ought to be, but that was a fal
lacious basis for calculation. Our expenses keep
pace with the iuprease of our revenue.
Mr. Bigler then went into a detailed statement
of the expenses of the Government, showing their
steady increase during the last four years, and that
under the tariff of 1857 the revenues were going be
hindhand, and the defloteney oenst&ntly increasing
The estimates of the departments more than ex
haust the revenue of the present year, and large
tmmahave been added by Congress to the estimated.
Many claims are also coming upon the treasury
whioa would have to be met, among which he
reckoned the French spoliation bill. He also re*
farred to the existing debt of the country and to
the probability of building the Paoiflo Bail road.
The Secretary of the Treasury had himself said
that if the expenses)are increased the revenue
.must-also be increased to meet them, and aid
should be given to the wreat industrial interests of
the country in favor oflhe labor of the land. He
argued in favor of proper specific duties; but
thought the objections against the ad valorem
principle might be obviated. He defended the
House bill against the chargee of the Senator from
Virginia, and urged the necessity of a tariff for
thelntercets,of the great Hate of J-ermaylvania,
the present tariff not; affording sufficient revenue,
nor, keeping up with the ratio of the increase
in the expenses. All experience had shewn that
the expenses of tha.Government could not be kept
down to the point indicated by the Senator from
Virginia
- Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, said It was not
worth while for him to say much, as he hoped his
colleague’s able speech had convinced that side of
the onamber. He demonstrated the neoeeatty for
an increase of the revenue to protoot tbo industrial
elements of Pennsylvania, and treated that this
question would not be postponed, and that the five
or six votes neoeasary to defeat such a motion
would be obtained from the Democratic side of the
chamber. He'entertd into the details of the Mor
rill bill briefly, and eontended that it was just and
proper, and ought to pass.
Mr, bswABD, of New York, said he could see no
just reason to postpone this question - till, the next
session. It cfuld be considered now. The session
was closed earlier, on account of the salary system,
than formerly. But the session could be extended.
The proposition involved a question, the true value
of whioh was to be found at the present time. If
there is not time enough to oo&Blder the question,
somebody is responsible for the loss of time.
He sdaed that a majority of tbe Senate, who op
posed the principle of protection, had fixed an
early adjournment. Let the Senate once say that
they will take up this bill and act on it, and the
House will at onoe extend the session loog enough
to enable : both'Houses to give the measure a full
and ample examination. The next session will be
brief, and will anybody say that the three
months of next'year will be adequate to the per
formance of a duty? There could be no more
favorable conjunction of olroumstanoes for the con
sideration of this subject. Here we are brought to
it at onoe by the recommendation of tbe Treasurer,
and we must raise that twenty million either by a
loan or a revision of tbe tariff.

The Harper’s Ferry Investigation.
REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE.
Washington. June 15.—'The report made to the
Sentate, this morning, by Mr. Mason, ohalrmanof
the Harper’s Ferry investigating oommittee, com
prise! one hundred and fifty-foolscap pages, exclu
sive of the.voluminous testimony. A rail history
is given of, John Brown's movement and its
results,' and reference is made to the utter insecu
rity of the peace and safety of some of the States
of the Union, owing to the excited condition of tbe
publio mind and its purposes in the non-slavehold
ing States.
Although it may not become the committee,to
suggest a duty in these States to provide, by pro
per legislation, against, the machinations within
thejr borders destructive of the peaoe of the con
federate Republics, it does become them folly to
expose the consequences resulting from the present
license In the non slavefaolding States, to the peaoe
and integrity of the Union, whioh is necessarily
involved in its eontinuacoo.
The rifled carbines manufactured in Connecticut,
intended as it would, appear to bo ordinarily uitod
in the strife in Kansas, and sent thither’ for that
porpose, were voluntarily placed by the Massachu
setts Kansas Aid Committee, through their cbai&
man, in the bands of Brown, with vague and tra
explained instructions as to their use. It would ap
pear that he finally cenoelved the purpose of ex
iting a civil war in some of the slaveholding
States This expedition, so atrooious in character,
would have been arrested had even ordinary care
been taken on the part of the Massachusetts com
mittee, to ascertain whether Brown was truthful
in his professions.
Tbe testimony shows that, after his treasonable
proceedings at Chatham, he went back to New
hngl&nd, travelling through its several villages,
and oolleoting money, whion was freely contribute!
under the auspices both of Howe and Stearns, and
others, with a knowledge that he retained a large
supply of arms, of whioh they had failed to dis
possess him.
On the whole tostimony, there can be no doubt
that Brown’s plan was to oommenoe a servile war
on the borders of Virginia, whioh be expected to
extend, and which he beloved his means and re
sources were sufficient to extend through that State
and the entire’South. It does not seem that he
entrusted even his intimate friends with his plans
fully, even after they were ready lor execution. ,
The oommittee are not prepared to suggest any
legislation, whioh, in their opinion, would bo ade
quate to prevent like ooourrenpes in -the fix
ture ' The only provisions of the Constltu-.
tion of the United States whioh would seem to
give any authority to the Government to
on occasions affecting the peaoe or safety, Of tbW
Stater, are found In the Bth section of the lttaril-y
ole, among the powers of Congress* to provide for
oalting on the militia to execute the laws of the (
Union, to suppress insurrections, repel Invasion!?*
and in the 4th section of the~4tb arable, in the fol*
lewing wprds: ♦* The United States shall guaranty
to every State a republican form of Government,
and shall protect each of them against Invasion,
and, on’ application of the Legislature, or'of the
Executive, (when tbe Legislature cannot be con
vened.) against domestic violence.’
Tbe invasion here spoken of would seem to Im
port an invasion by the publie force of a foreign’
power, or, if not so limited and equally referable
to au invasion by one State of another, still it
weald seem that public force, or forces exercised
under the sanction of acknowledged political power,
is there meant. The invasion (to call it eo) by.
Brown and his followers at Harper’s Ferry was in*
no sense of that 'character. It was simply an aet
of lawless ruffians, under tho sanction of no rablie
or political, authority. If the several States,
whether from motivos of polioy or a desire to pre
serve the peaoe of the Union, if not from fraternal
feeling, do not hold it incumbent on them,
after the experience of the oountry, to guard
against occurrences similar to the one here In
quired into, the committee oan find no guarantee
elsewhere for the security of peaco between the
eta tea of the Union. So far, however, as the safety
of the publio property Is involved, tbe committee
would earnestly reoommend that provision should
be made by tbe Executive, or, If necessary, by
law, to keep under an adequate military guard the
publio armories and arsenals of the United States
in some way, after the manner now practised at
tbe navy yards and forts.
Tbe report is signed by Senators Mason, Davit,
and Fitch.
Senators Collamer and Hoolittle. the mi
nority, In the oourse of their brief report, say there
is no evidence than any other citiaens than those
with Brown were accesiory to this outbreak or Inrtt
slon, by contributions thereto or otherwise; nor
any proof that any others had any knowledge of
the oonsplraoy or its purposes in the year 1850.
Although some of the testimony tends to show that
some Abolitionists have at times contributed mo
ney to what is occasionally oalled (< practical Abo
litionism,” that is, aiding in the escape of slaves,
and may have plaoed implicit confidence in John
Brown; yet there Is no evidence to show o; cause
to believe that they had any complicity with these
conspirators, or any suspicion of Its existence or
design before its explosion. Nor does any evidence
show that there was a conspiracy to rescue Brown
or his associates from prison In Virginia.
Time and reflection have happily dissipated
much of the alarm and suspicion, and shown that
this raid was but an offshoot from the exeitiog out
rages and lawlessness in Kansas. It was coin
menced and continued there by an armed invasien
of that Territory tooontrol its own people, the elec
tions and the government, for the introduction and
perpetuity of alavery there on the one hand, And
resistance or defianoe on the other; and the facts
disclosed aforesaid, in the light in whioh they ap
pear to the minority, &Dd in whioh they present
them, however much they call for reprobation and
reproof,'they may be, and should be, used.and im
proved to allay tha exoitement, quiet suspicion,
and restore tranquillity.
The minority say there is no .fact calling for
Congressional legislation. They insist, however,
that there is no such matter presented in the testi
mony or existing in fact as is more than intimated
in the report of tha majority—that even the Aboli
tionists in the free States take a oourse- Intended
oovertly to produce a treasonable violation of the
laws and the peaoe of tha slaveholding States,
much less that any such oourse Is oounteflanoed by
the body of the people of the free Statos. They
regret the conclusions of that report, tending to
promulgate such a view, unfounded, as they regard
u, in faet, ill calculated to promote peaoe, confi
dence, and tranquillity, and a departure from the
legitimate purposes for whioh the oommittee. was
appointed.

THEIR LAST DAY IN PHILADELPHIA,
AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
VISIT TO PRIVATE MANUFACTORIES,
DEHONSTRtTION OF THE FIREMEN.
TOEOHLIQHT phooebbion.
VIEW PROM THE CONTINENTAL
The Japanese Embassy leave Philadelphia this
morning, for New York city. They were engaged
yesterday in getting ready for their departure,
and a notice warned the people from intruding
upon their privacy. It had been arranged that a
visit should be paid to the Custom House, to Corne
lius & Baker’s, and to one or two other places of
interest. At ten o’olook the party left tho Conti
nental, accompanied by Mr. Bentonj Mr. Simons,
Mr. Trego, and Mr. Masker. Mr. Thomas was
also along, in company with Tommy, who was in
such a bad humor, from some cause or other, that
it required all the suavity of his protector to secure
his company. The other members of the Embassy
who were along wore: Naruse Genriro, chief ex
ecutive offiotr of the Embassy, and late Governor
of Yeddo; Tehahara Jugoro Same, second execu
tive offioer; Hltaka Meisaboro, first lieutenant to
the third ambassador, and Tateish Tohogaro, im
perial interpreter. Mr. Portman, the Amorloan
interpreter, was also present.
AT TUB CUBTOM-HOUBE,
When the delegation arrived at tho Custom
House they were ushered into the room of the col
lector. That ofiioer waa not present, and, in his
absence, the deputation were received by one of
his officers, who explained to the Japanese, through
&fr- Portman, toe details of tho Amorioan system
of oustom-house business In this narrative the
company, and particularly Naruse Gonriro, tho
Governor, were deeply interested. They knew
something of the Baton system as in vogue at Ha*
feodadl, and compared it with the American me
thod. After remaining there for a half hour they
departed in earriagea to the manufactory of Messrs.
Cornelius A Baker.
VISIT TO 00BKBMU8 * BAKBR’fi MANUFACTORY.
After the officers of tho Embassy had visited the
Custom House, they proceeded to tho celebrated
manufactory of Cornelius A Baker, Cherry street,
above Eighth. The arrangements hero were ex
tremely good. On the previous day, a considerable
number of neatly engraved invitation oards, ac
companied by an engraving of the faotory, had
been issued, stating that tho Japanese would bo in
attendance at 9 A. M. / "
Comparatively early as this hour was, a great
many ladies and gentlemen were ,( on hand/’ at
that time, and the usual congregation of reporters,
who have been terribly fagged during this Am
bassadorial week. These visitors distributed them
selves throughout the building, occupying every
one of its six stories. As many as five hundred
wore thus accommodated. In addition, the ex
tensive counting-house and office-parlor of the firm
w&s occupied, without crowding, by the immediate
relatives and friends of Messrs. Cornolios & Baker.
A very handsome display of beauty and fashiona
ble attiro it was. Several clergymen were pre
sent, and a few of our leading merchants. Cherry
street, between Eighth and Ninth, was crowded
with ourlous “ outsiders.”
There was continuous expectation of tho Japa
nese from 9 until half past 11. - Tho delay was
borne with great good humor—particularly by the
ladies. They were gratified, during'their waiting,
by excellent musio from Beok’s brass band, whioh
woro placed in the innor court yard of tho faotory,
aud played, with great perseverance, to the satis
faction of numerous auditors.
At half past eleven, the Governor’s Secretary,
accompanied by another officer and (( the inevita
ble Tommy,” shuffled into the counting house.
With them was Mr. Portman, an intelligent and
courteous gentleman, who was the medium of com
munication between the Japanese and tho Ameri
cana. As usual, Tommy was gaaed at with con
siderable ourioslty. He appeared soarcely to
notloo the ladies, though there were many very
pretty, and half a dosen positively handsome ones
among them, but looked at every ene and every
thing a* if he was tired with sight seeing, He
appeared Intelligent, though somewhat sulky. Ilia
companions looked on with unmovod countenances,
as ii emotion had pover visited thorn. It waa
noticed, by the ladles, that Tommy’B hair Was as
fine as ells.
This instalment of the party then proceedod to
walkthrough the faotory,ln which all theartisans
were at work. wblob did not cease for h moment,
even though toe workmen nut?! ln\v, i-»
general oußoalty.
Tho Japanese asconded tbe winding stair-oase, |
from floor to floor, passing very rapidly round the |
work-benches, aud koonly looking at tbe various
processes. Wherover they went, tbe spectators 1
chief onriosity was to bog Tommy, who was under tbe
partlouier charge, for tbe time, of Mr. William 0.
Baker. Tommy becamequito good humored during,
hil tour through tbe footary with this gentleman,,
and grew as chatty as bis limited knowledge,of our
language permitted. He appeared greatly graU
flea with the notice taken of him.
In the fifth story, where a number of completed
obandeliers and gas-fittings were banging up,
tbe three Japaneso seemed Highly pleased. Mere,
it appeared, as if they saw, at last, tbe practical
result of all tho labor in tbe other parts of tbe
building. They remained some minutes silently
gazing beautiful obandeliers. Tommy slided
off to ono of the benches, where a workman was
finishing off a thick brass chain, for a chandelier,
and eagerly asked “Is ifcgold?” The reply was
in tho negative, and he shook his head. Tbe chain
was thrown round his neck, and ho seemed pleased
with it Mr. Baker presented It to him, and glan
cing aronnd to see that his companions did not see
him, stealthily conveyed it into tho recesses of a
side-pocket. By this timo, ho was in high glee,
and when asked to ascend to the sixth story, where
tho foundry aud tho oleotrotype apparatus are,
laughingly rofnsod, saying, “ No more stairs ”
Returning to the counting house, Tommy and
his two friends ensconced themselves on a sofa in
the office-parlor, and shook hands with all the la
dles. While he was doing this, the Governor's
secretary looked on, with a sort of quiet half-smile,
and the other, bowing his head to bis knees, fell
fast asleep. Tommy was struck with one of the
younger ladies, a pretty, modest damsel of about
twolve. and gallantly Invited her to shake bands
with him a second time. 5 his dono, this aeotion
of tbe Japanese visitors took leave and retired.
In fifteen minutes after the departure of Tom
my’s party, another and more important set of
Japanese came In. The leading members of this
detachment, Mr. Portman told us, were—
1. Naruse Gensiro, Ohief Executive officer of the
Ambaesy, lato Governor of Yeddo.
2. ToharaJugoro Sama, Second Kxocutive offi
cer.
3. Hit&ka Meisaboro, First Lieutonant to the
Third Embassador
4. Tatcshl Tohogaro, Imperial Interpreter.
The Governor’s secretary, who had been with
“Tommy,” bears tho euphonious name of Mats
moto Sannrio.
Captain Dnpont, who has special charge of the
strangers, with Mr. Portman,'(Dutch,) the inter
preter, accompanied the Japanese. Some of the
City Councillors also came in with thorn.
The visitors having arrived in the parlor of the
counting house, a member of tho firm of Cornelius
& Baker read to them the following suitable and
properly brief address:
‘GXWTPWIBNOI’ TUB JAPANESE EkBASHV—We
welcome you to our establishment. We are very
happy to see you, and wo appreciate tho honor
oonforred by yourpresenoo. We have seen many
specimens oi the skill of your people in tho work*
log of metals, and bear willing testimony to the
superior excellences of thesworkmanship. We do
not presume to ezhiblt to you anything better, yet
wo hope you may be interested and repaid for the
time and trouble expended in visiting our manufac
tory.”
This was translated for them, by two Interpreters
we believe—from English into Dutch, and thence
into Japanese—-and, through tbesame medium, the
Governor compllmentarily expressed his thanks
for bis reception and his gratification in visiting an
establishment so well known to him by report.
The party then made the tour through the manu
factory,and appeared to take no small interest in the
mechautsm'and manipulations Theirdelight at the
perfected work In the fifth story was loudly ex
pressed. They penetrated to the topmost story,
where the finer processes, Including electrotyping
: aud damasking, are cxeauted, and devoted con
siderable tlmo to this branch of tbe manufacture.
On their return to the parlor, they were pre
sented with a small illustrated aatalogue and de
scription of the manufactory, and examined, with
evident satisfaction, three quarto volumes, riohly
bound in purple morocco, which contain a sketoh
of the establishment, with numerous lithegraphio
engravings, printed In metals and colors. These
are for the Ambassador and the three Princes
Thirteen beautiful lamps, as presents for the higher
offioers of tbo Embassy, have also been prepared
by Cornelius <S> Baker.
At one o’olook tho Japanese retired, again ex
pressing their gratification at what they h*d seen,
and at the great attention paid to them. We must
say that the higher men in this oolleotioQ of
strangers havo sensible and even expressive faces.
Tho Governor resembles tbe lato Alexis Sover, the
renowned cuinnier of Reform Club and Crimean
notability, more than any other person we have
seen His complexion is not muoh darker than
Monsieur •’oyer’s wad.
As we went down Arch street, after the recep
tion. we noticed a crowd around a cutler’s shop.
On inquiry, we found that Tommy and his two
friends had strolled in there, and were dead
heading the owner In the article pen-knives.
They have a great avidity for presents!
IN A ROLLING KILL.
The committee having in charge the Ambassadors
proceeded from Cornelius a Baker’s establishment
to the rolling mill of Messrs. Roland & Co., in
Kensington. They were muob interested in the
process of manufacturing iron. Tbe different
qualities of iron were explained to them, and, at
their desire, they were furnished with specimens of
ore, which they took with them as mementoes of
their visit.
TUB MANUFACTURE OF GLASS.
Perhaps or all the sights witnessed during their
stay in Philadelphia, none afforded them more
gratification than tho mode of making glass at
Sheets’s manufactory, which was the next place
visited This was something entirely new to them,
for, although they make a species of glass in Japan,
they are unskilled In manufacturing window glass,
and many of tho a) tides of utility and ornament'
which are constantly being turned out at our fac
tories. While they were at this plaoe a number of
glass oanes wore made, and presented to each of
the Ambassadors. They seemed-anxious to have
every operation relation to this cuhjeet minutely,
explained, and evinced a .deep, interest in every-'
thing pertaining thereto. As an ovidenoe of this,
wo neod only insert the following questions, whieh
they asked through their Interpreter:
Ist. How many degrees of hdnre required to
molt tho material of which glaeCWmade?
Sod. What proportion of sand and other ingre
dients are used in tbe manufacture of glass?
3d. Why is the color of some varieties of glass
different from others?
4th. Will you supply us with specimens of all
the articles used in the manufacture of glass?
The proprietors prepared samples of the mate
rials used, for which they returned their thanks,
and departed highly pleased with their visit.
at bloat's.
The next stopping place was Bloat’s planing mill,
where they witnessed tho operation of planing and
grooving boards. They carefully examined tbe
machinery, aud took drawings of tbe most promi
nent parts. They ascended to tho upper part of
the building where tho sewing waobines are made,
and thenee to tbe roof, whore they enjoyed a fine
view of the Delaware and the shipping.
AMONG THE LITHOGBAPHJSItB.
The lithographlo establishment of Messrs. Duval
was the noxt point of interest. They boro wit
nessed tho printing of a large American flag in
colors, and the process was explained to them.
They were then conduoted to the artists’ room.
The Governor was politely asked to sit down bofore
odq of the artists, and in a four moments an admi :
rable sketch of him was finished. The Japanese
recognized the likesosa instantly, and gave vent to
their delight in exclamations of ‘‘very good,”
“ beautiful,” Ac. A light collation was served up
for them, whioh was greatly epjoyod, and when
they returned to the artists* room they were each
furnishod, muoh to their surprise, with an admi
rable likeness of tho Governor, whioh had been
printed on stone. This greatly pleased as well as
astonished them.
AT CALDWELL’S JEWELRY STORE.
They then returned aud visited Caldwell’s jew
elry storo, in Chestnut stroet. They were muoh
filoasod with the splendid proportions of tho bulld
og, and ordered severul docks to bo sent to their
rooms, to seloot aud purchase from.
CONFIDENCE IN PHILADELPHIA WORKMEN.
As an instauco of the oonfidenoe tho Japanese
have In our people, and the high opinion they en
tertain of Philadelphia workmanship, we may
mention that B. P. Opdyke, celobrated gold
chain' manufacturer, received an order for four
gold obains from the Governor of Jeddo. The de
sign for the chains waa drawn by one* of the art
lata of the deputation, and in such a manner that
a side and front view of each link was given. The
gold waa furnished by the Japanese, they having
received and brought it on from California. Thoso
ohalns are intended as presents for tho four Am
bassadors from the Governor of Jeddo, and bare
been finished in a stylo which reflects groat credit
on the manufacturer.
TOMMY AND TUB WOMEN.
It was about four o’olook in the afternoon when
they roached their quarters at the Continental Ho
tel Tbelr and the oorridors leading
tberoto, whioh bad beep kept strictly private during
tho forepart of the dav, while they wore engaged
In paoking up and making preparations for their
departure, wero now thrown open, with the exocp
tion of those used by tho Pxinoca, for the purpose
of giving the expectant and anxiously awaiting
crowd of ladies and gontlemon an opportunity of
catching a glimpse of our distinguished visitors.
Tommy, who, by the way, remained in-doora du
ring the morning, waa now in his glory. One
young lady of sixtoen summers appeared to be
completely fascinated. She was dressed In
the most approved style, and wore on
her head ono of tho bewitching little hat*
which are now so generally worn by our youthful,
and not unfrequontiy iniddlo aged, beauties. She
appeared to bo detormined to oaptivato the inev
itable Tommy, but her smiles and graces bad no
effeot. She pursued him from room to room, and
from corridor to oorridor, until at last it booamo
necessary for the police to interfere, and convoy
the young lady to the street, for tho purpose of re
storing tfder. In tho altoruoon, whilo seated in
tho* parluri howevor, Tommy wns decidedly smit
ten with tho slinplo bonuty of a little girl of ton
years of age, and,in tbofaoo of tho Assembled urowd,
and much to the surprise and terror of the ladies
he suddonly drew forth his sword, severed a look
of his own dark and glossy hair, wrapped it in a
piece Of Jupan paper, and presented it to tho little
girl as a token of his esteem and admiration, much
to the chagrin of the other young ladtos. At aix
o’olook tho crowd was dismissed by order of Cap
tain Dupont. Wo afterwards mot tho young
Prinoe Jugoro, and Tommy, in the oommittoo’s
room, whero the latter received bis presents.
Among those we notlaed a fine oollcctton ot soap*,
perfumery, and several articles of jewelry, and
Jast, cot least, a beantiful tiger skin, valued at $4O.
The Princo, at tho solicitation of several of the
committee,.furnished them with his autograph.

TDK TORCHLIGHT PROOKSBIOR OB THE FIRBUEtf
This event, Id honor of the vitit of tbo Ja
panese Embassy to our city, took place last ere*
ning, and was one of the moat imposing dUplars
mode by the' Department for several years past
At Oe’olooktheeompanies formed on the streets
tanning east and west, above Arch street, the right
on Front street, comprising ton division*, the whole
extending as far up'&s Noble street. Each com
pany had its apparatus, the steam engine compa
nies having out their steam fire engines, draWnby
horses, the hose carriages and engines being deco,
rated with refleetors, portable gas lights, torches,
and wreaths and garlands of flowers, and transpa
rencies. The men were ail equipped in their
fire clothes, mostly in red shirts. All
were supplied with torches, lanterns, and fism
>eaux, which prodnood a fine effoot. At a quarter
>ast Q o’olook the head of the column took up tho
ineof march out Arch street to Sixteenth, down
Sixteenth to Chestnut, and down Chestnut street
past the Continental Hotel, where the Japanese
visitors are quartered. At tho hoad of the proces
sion was a large c&st-steel-bell, Imported from
England by Naylor A Co , which was kindly loaned
for the occasion. It was placed upon one of the
trusts belonging to Farrell, Herring, &Co , iron
safe manufacturers, which was manned by the
members of the Philadelphia Hose Company, who
rang the bell as the procession passed over the route.
At Broad and Chestnut the members of the different
companies were supplied with'Homan candles,
wbioh had been placed in a furniture car awaiting
their arrival. On' passing down Chestnut street,
the scene was truly, magnificent. Tbo men lighted
their fire-works sea? tbo eorner of Ninth street,
and for three-quarters of an hour, the time occu
pied by the procession in passing, the whole street
was most brilliantly illuminated. The Japanese
officials occupied the balcony on the second story
of tho hotel and the front windows, and appeared
delighted with the display, by whvlng their fans
and pointing to the dlneront apparatus, as they
passed by. The steam firo engines got up steam
on the route, and In passing, the shrill steam
whistle gave many a gruff salnte t<* the distin
guished strangers. The procession passed down
Chestnut to Fifth, and there dismissed.
The crowd attracted to Chestnut street was im
mense, the whole street, from Fourth street to
Broad, being almost one mass of hitman beings.
After the last oompany had passed the Continental
there arose from the multitude a deafening buzz
from myriads of voices The crowd closed In upon
the space oooupied by the firemen, and for a few
minutes there was an intense struggle in the mess
trying to free themselves to go towards their re
spective home?. The orowd surged and rocked to
and fro, and many wore in danger of bodily In
jury from the pressure; but in a few minutes the
onrrent began to pass both up and down the street,
and dispersed quietly. The Japanese retired from
tho baloony. Immediately after the procession
P&ssedt
Among the amusing incidents of the procession,
wag the appearance of a young man, dressed to re
£ resent Tommy, the Japanese, who,rode upon the
[oyamensing Hose carriage. When he passed the
real Japanese, he faimedhimself vigorously, and
bowed to the dignitaries on the baloony, who cor
dially returned Ms salutation 'by waring their
bands, and laughing heartily.
The companies on parade were In the order an
nounced in The Press of yesterday. All the ar
rangements were Buccossfully oarrled out, and the
demonstration throughout was one of the most
pleasing that have been offered to the Embassy
doriog their sojourn in the city.
YISW PROM THB CONTINENTAL’
•Viewed from the balcony of the Continental
Hotel, as the prooosslon passed in review before the
noblemen and others of the Embassy, Chestnut
street presented a most magnificent and extraor
dinary speotaole. The arrangements for theao
oommodation of tho members of the Embassy were
of a character so complete as to reflect great
orodit upon tho oommittee of Councils. That
large body of loafers—pseudo-reporters, busy
"Counciltnen, country editors, and small politf
clans—who have been pestering the Japanese
since their arrival, were all excluded The
Princes, higher officers of the Embassy, Mayor
Henry, Presidents of Councils, Major General Pat
terson, General Reilly, Captains Du Pont, Lee,
and Porter, the representatives of the press, and a
few others, occupied the bhlcony. Every facility
was extended to tho gentlemen from Japan to
enable them to witness the procession and none of
that indecorum shown on tho day of the military
parade was manifest.
It wBS twenty minutes past ten when the clamor
of the alarm hell announced to the oompany the
approach of the blazing column The Kmbassy
ana their friends took up the position on the bal
cony, and patiently Awaited the arrival of the pro
oession The orowd within two squares of the
hotoi, both, east and west, numbered, we should
think, from ten to fifteen thousand peop’e. It pre
sented a motley and amusing appearance from the
baloony. There were men and women, ohlldreb
in arms, and children on the street, screaming,
oheoriug. brawling, laughing, shouting, crowding,
nnd pushing—the shouts or the giddy mingling
with the oaths of the profane—the remonstrances
of women and children uniting with the jeers of
the multitude.
Still the orowd kept increasing, and at last,
when tho glare of the torohes became visible
through the waving tress, the rush was perfectly
awful. Nothing but a miraole of God saved hun
dreds/rom injury or death. The police might as
woil have endeavored to dam the Red Sea as at
tempt to master that tumultuous multitude. They
came to see the firemen and the Japaneso, and
they would see them, the police to the contrary
notwithstanding.
' On they come, the orowd melting before them,
the band playing a national anthem, and the lurid
glare.of the lanterns and torches oastiog their sha
dows upon the wave of humanity rolling around.
Tho shouts of the throng answer the shouts of tbo
firemen, and fair ladies from- every window wave
their handkerchiefs in appreciation of their bro
thers' enthusiasm. Balls of purple, blue, andorim
80d fire dart from a thousand Roman candles,
wreathed in a golden cloud of burning sparks—some
striking windows lined with spectators, and occa
sionally failing upon the baloony amid the Japa
nese, much to tno delight ot tho crowd below. For
fortv minutes the blaztog line defiled be
neath the Oriental visitors, amid the clang
ing of bells, strains of musi«, the loud
and piercing shriek of the steam engines. and the
cever-oeasing tumult of the people. AH along
Ohestnut' street tho sameview is apparent, stretch
log in gorgeous magnificence as far as the eye can
strain the view. The Orientals are delighted ; they
clap their hands, they smile, aud dodge the threat
ening balls from the Roman candles, much to tho
amusement of themselves and the orowd. At a
few minutes past oleven the end of the procession
passes, the stream of fire ebbs along the dark ehoro
of humauity in its rear, the Ambassadors arise,
bow to tbe multitude, and retire, amid loud, long,
and protracted cheering.
PRESENT FROM MAYOR HENRY
We understand that Mayor Henry-intends to pre
sent the Japanese Embassy with a magnificent
silver salver. The piece is of an oval shape, about
ten by fifteen inches in size. In the oentre is a
view of the city from tbo roof, of Girard College,
and near the upper part is the'official seat of the
oitv The plate bears tho following inscription.
“ Presented to the Japanese Embassy by Alexan
der Henry. Mayor of the City of Philadelphia,
June, 1860.” The design is very appropriate, and
the whole ia enclosed in a neat black case. The
testimonial waa sent to the Embassy at the
Continental Hotel last evening. It was manufac
tured at ono of our jewelry establishments at the
expense of Mr. Henry, ss a private oitizen.
Drs Gross and Aeoh have presented the doctors
with various surgical instruments and Gross’ Ope
rative Surgery. They were familiar with all the
instruments but those invented within the last five
years.
PRESENTS B.Y TITB JAPANESE
The members of the Embassy practise the Orien
tal virtue of reciprocity. They have made 'many
trifling presents to members of Council, and to
nthere whom they have met. Mr D. O Thomas,
of the Committee of Coonoll, whose attendance
upon tho Embassy has boon unremitting, and whose
devotion to his namesake u Little Tommy” ro
minds us of Damon and Pythias, has been present
ed with a sword by the Governor of Jeddo.
THE EMBASSY BID FAREWELL TO TUB MAYOR.
About nine o’olook last evening Mayor Henry
Waited upon the Embassy for tbo purpose of
bidding tnem farewell. He was introduced to
them In their privato parlor and received very cor
dially. He expressed a regret that the visit of
the Ambassadors could not be prolonged—hoped
they had experienced nothing in Philadelphia to
dispel the Idea they had formed of its people—and
desired that they might carry back with them to
J#b*n the assurances of the friendship of Ameriea
for their country and its people Simme-Booien
No-Kami responded, by expressing tho deep
sense of eateem/elt by the Ambassadors for. the
city, and assuring the Mayor thifc they weald car
ry to their nativo land the most pleasant remem
brances of fbe oity of Philadelphia. The Ambas
sadors severally shook hands with the Mayor, who
subsequently retired.
DEPARTURE OP TOE EMBASSY.
The members of the Embassy will leave
tbo city this morning at ten o’clock, for Now
York by a special train. They will bo
received iu New York this afternoon, on
which occasion there will bo a maguifloont display.
Aa tho Now York aldermen have been posting up
on Chesterfield, and ronovating their linen, wo
may hope for an impression noorly aa favorable as
that made by our gentlemanly committee of Conn*
oils. We are very much afraid that the good effect
produced on the Embassy by Philadelphia, will be
more than neutralised by Now York city.

CITY ITEMS.
Tnr. Season tor Preserving Froit, and How
to Do It.—Familiarly speaking, the art of keeping
summer fruits fresh all he year round Is a modern dis
oovory. though in reality it is one of the M lost arts "
not referred to by Wendell Phillips in bis celebrated
lecture on this suiueot. Certain it Is that Pliny wae fa
miliar with this modern art in his a#’* Josephus
a'co gives'us to uodersta M U that fruits were,ten thousand
years ago, not only kept fresh from one season'to
mother, but if we remember correctly, he alludes to
at leastone instanoe in which fruit had thus been pre
served in a perfect state during a (erm of many years.
But a more important than this historic pluueofthe
subject is, the fsot that the fruit-preserving season is at
hand, and that good housekeepers never wait until the
lateness of the season renders the fru't too rips As to
the “ How to do it," we * ill take the liberty of reoom *
mending to others what hap been tested most satisfac
torily to ourselves, viz i thaf the AH Olass Patent Air
