Departure'of the Japanese Embassy. The Japanese Embassy is about to leave our hospitable shores and to embark for. their native conntiy, after having been greeted by a aeries of the-most brilliant and extraordinary ovations that otir national curiosity and hos pitality could produce; after having received the most flattering' demonstrations of regard that contd have been extended, and after having witnessed a panorama of American life which comprised so much that was novel and magnificent that no human being conld have failed to be deeply impressed by it. , The mere pageants and immense crowds of people which attended their reception in Bal timore, Philadelphia, or New York, were in themselves curious and memorable spectacles to our own citizens; and when it is remem bered that to the Japanese nearly everything they witnessed possessed the charm of novel ty—that Important improvements and inven tions, new even to most Americans, were con stantly exhibited to them—that they were shown, in quick saceeesion, the most remark able cnrioslties and most brilliant points of at traction of which we can boast—it can scarce ly he doubted 'that they will present to the •Tycoon, and,, to their countrymen such an ac count of their visit as wilt, at all events, prove deeply, interesting,, and, probably lead te the -establishment, of ..extensive commercial re'a tions. • : With some sixty living witnesses to testify to the multitudinous curiosities they have be held, and with almost every conceivable article ot American manufacture or commerce which posse Bsefi for them any considerable attraction obtained as a present or purchased, and now. stowed away, Wong their baggage; which will accompany Jtiiem to japan, it willhe atrasge in deed if their representation? slier their arrival at their homes do not create a number of new wants which wa can-profitably‘supply. All writers upon Japan speak of her inter nal trade as very extensive, and gay that the habits of her people are decidedly commer cial. - A popnlar desire has also Jong existed for the extension of their' foreign trade, and netting bat the-piremittory interference of their Government has .prevented them ftom gratifying It. Now, that these restrictive bar riers are about to bb Completely'broken down, le.is at least possible) that a trade may even. tualiy.be established between the two nations, whose treaty, of peace and commercial amity has been ratified in a manner ,so peculiarly im pressive, sufficiently extensive to - all-parties for the extraordinary trouble which' has been taken, to destroy the isolated system which bad so long been rigidly maintained- It Is not altogether certain that the Japanese Government,' in' its ' jealous exclusion ot foreigners and hostility to the. extension of foreign'commerce, did not act wisely. It un doubtedly bad powerful incentives to adopt and to persevere in this policy, and it is not sur prising that a strong party still desires that it should be’ persisted' in. Frond of tho inde pendence of Japan from all foreign dominion, Us strong insular position fully protects it from all Asiatic foes, and it could only be success fully attacked, if at all,’ by the powerful fleets aiitl armies of the Caucasian nations. While their fears of shch aggressions were naturally enough first aroused centuries ago, by Euro pean: boasts of the good fortune of the King of Spain in conquering nearly, tho whele West ern Continent, the modem history of India and of China, and the difficulties and bumUia tionato which the rulers ot these countries and many of the people have been subjected in consequence of the long chain of events which have grown out of thair commercial re lations with the white men, bare certainly fur nished powerful reasons to tho Japanese to ■hon (he complications which have affected so disastrously many of their Asiatic brethren. , But the mental superiority oi the Japanese, of which, many incidents of their visit have furnished us ample proof, and (as compared with the Chinese) their superior courage may enable them to solve the problem which all other people of tbeir oolor have found an ex. tremely difflcalt one—ot fully preserving their independence and jealously guarding their honor and interests, while maintaining exten sive commercial intercourse with the morn en lightened nations. Their cheapness of labor and artistic skill should enable them to iumish us Vnumber of articles wei need, at lower prices than, we .can obtain them elsewhere, and it Js evident; front some of the statements of thejr Ambassadors, th3t a foreign demand for their teas, silks, ike., will benefit their popula tion byfnrnishing it profitable employment; and it is also to he hoped thst some of tho great American staples »fid tho products of our skilled industry may find a profitable martcetla Japan.

In material, size, and construction, this is the most' remarkable vessel ever built. Sevon hundred feet in length, wholly constructed of iron, with a tonnage far exceeding 20,000 tons, and capable of, being navigated with screw, or paddles, or both, and also rigged for sails, this stupendous vessel is worthy of all notice. She can carry 4,000 passengers, (800 being of the first class,) and could take a fteight of 10,000 soldiers. She will ho visited at New Yerk by multi tudes.

FOURTH DESPATCH, Sandt Hook. June 28,10:30 A. M—The steam ship Great Eastern came in to the light-ship at 7b o’clock this morning. On the 17th instant, at half past ten A- this steamship left the Needles. With the exception of two days, she experienced fine weather In crossing tho Atlantic. She baa on board 42 passengers, among whom are George Wilkes, Esq , who pre sented the belt to Tom Sayers, and several of the directors of the company. The whole passage was steamed by her, ranging from 2H to 333 miles jfer , twenty-four hours. Tbo engines were not stopped until sho was off George’s Shoal, for soundings. She osme in a route southeast direct to tbo light-ship. , She (was received on reaoblng the light-ship by Captain Cosgrove with a salute and the dipping of colors, and as the mist blew away all tho ves sels in eight set their bunting and cheered her. ; In order that a correct idea of her sailiog capa cities may be torpied, we print the number of miles ran by the Great Eastern per day since sho left England: 17ttu 285. 23.2 ..302 18th.. :...293 24»b..........299 16th - 25th 325 20th ~,....276 2ttib 333 215t............804 27th. 254 22dv - The ‘ highest apeed attained was fourteen ami s half The ahfp'e bottom is Ter, foal, and as allowanceof at leant tiro knots an hour shonld be made on that acoount.

The trip has demonstrated the Great Eastern’s euperlority as a sea-going vessel and the excellence of her machinery. Tbe dietaries from Southamp. ton to New Fork, as nenaliy steamed by vessel* going between these ports, is 3,190 miles. As it was deemed prudent on the put of those managing the Great Eastern to avoid the toe which, about this season of tbe year, accumulates in the oeean and obstructs navigation, sbe went farther south, and 'thus materially lengthened her trip. The following is a list of her passengers: General Watkins, Colonel Harrison, Major X. Balfour, Captain Drummond, Captain Carnegie. Captain McKinnon, Captain Moreen, B. N., Captain Cory ton, B.

The Express e&ye that no idea of the rite of the Great Eastern can he got from a mere statement of her measurement fn figures. If oar city readers, however, vri!t conceive that if she were set down in the Park she weald reach from the hell*tower, be* hind the City Hall, to the Astor House—that the Gastom'hoase and Merchants’ Exchange, placed together on her deck, might cover it In width, but not in length—that if Trinity Church oould ho got into her hold only the ridge of the rool and the spire would ho visible outside—they will get some idea of hor enormous proportions. Our ordinary sea steamers look like shallops by her side, and the common river oraft like so many minnows in the wake of a great whale. THU ov nnn AimAiwfcinwTS. Nothing more beautiful, than hor interior ar rangements has ever been uehioved in naval architecture.

They are finished with aft the elegano; of the most sumptuous hotel, end want no appliances for bodily comfort. cowparxp mra the xmcura. In order to present to the roador the sise of tho Great Eastern, let us suggest a comparison. She is more than twice as loag as tho steamer Niagara —being 800 feet from stem to stern—and in bulk is over four times as large. Her capacity is 18 975 tons, or, by builder’s measurement, upon which estimates m generally baaed, 22,500 tons. Her width Is S 3 feet, and from paddle* hoc to paddle box 120 foot. She has six masts, wbloh carry not less than six thousand five hundred yards of can vas, almost enough to drive half a dozen of tho or dinary packet ships, wbloh were once the ohlef mode of oouveyano* between the Old and-New Worlds. In case of acoident, there are numerous life-boats ready for immediate use, and two ateam screw propellers which oould be m&de available at a few moments’ notioe* Her construction required thirty thousand iron plates, weighing in the ag i g regate ten thousand tom, and to fasten these to gether not leas than three mlllious of bolts were re quired. -The aggregate weight of these bolts is about twenty millions of pounds. tWtBRWAT# A.UKANOBMZNTS. .

Tho screw cylinders, being of so much shorter stroke, of course take less room than their huge companions, Both sets' of engines have feed pumps, whioh are generally recognized as being a great improvement upon the old-fashioned C{ donkeys.” These latter, though> will be of servioe in washing off the decks sad. doing fire service, if any misfortune should hap pen to call them into requisition. The auxiliary engines, of which we have spoken, are bo arranged that, in cage of fire, tjiey conld be of immense service, The oombined pumping power of &U the pumps)iB About fifty tons of water a minute. The height of tho Groat Eastern's hull is sixty feet, and it is divided into ten compartments, each porfeotly water* tight, so that In case of acoldent to one, or even more, the remainder trotrfd act as preservers of the noble vessel.

So far as strength goes, there Is no rea son to apprehend any danger. Bhe Is divided into four decks, the lower one being used oblefly for the boilers and engines.

Besides the tea compartments into which the ship l& divided, she ia also divided into throe great parts by solid walls of iron. The middle one is used for the boilers, engines, and saloons; the lateral ones contain tho coal bunkers, which arc underneath the berths and sido cabins. accommodations for passengers As regards the passenger accommodations, they are unrivalled, and* provo that the constructor had as fine an eye for comfort and luxury as for Rtrongth and durability. There are ten saloons, of which five arc on the upper dock, and Jive on the lower, and all have been furnished in a style of luxury and elegance that must fie positively re freshing to the passenger, who on dock. is sighing for “ home, svraet homo,” for upon entering these noble saloons the lost thought likely to strike one would bo that he was off of termjfinna. The length of the saloons on the upper deck is 70 feet, their height being 12 foot. Those on the lower deck are 60 feet in length, and nearly 34 feet In height. The main saloon is 62 feet long, and 36 feet wide; 20 feet of it at one end, being set apart for tho use of ladies. The first impression likely to strike a visitor, ia passing through the saloon, is, that he is in some fashionable hotel. Tfie that be is on board of a ship would not strike him, woro be un aware of the faot. A notlceablo feature of the main saloon is, tbi\t two of the great funnels pass through, but so neatly has it been decorated, that it serves more as an ornament, than an inconveni ence.

WASHINGTON COEBEB*ONJKBNCIS, ietie* from ‘‘ Occasional,” l Oormyocdenoe or The y*# mj . .Wa&lUhcjton, June 23,1300- After the President had decided toremov© Mr. Heart, the Superintendent of Public Printing, ia order to prevent the purchase of the Wendell print- i lug office, which purpose was supposed to ho favored by Mr. Heart, In commotion with the joint com mittees on public printing in the Senate and House, was discovered that tbelawhadbeenso prepared as to defeat any sueh purpose. Bo Mr. Giossbren ner, of York, Pa., will have to wait. Tbe law makes the appointment of Superintendent of Pub lio Printing absolute for two years, unl©93 in tho meantime that officer should be detected of malfea sance in the disobarge of bis duties; an accusation that never can be raised sgaiast John S. Heart, of South Carolina. - The Bell and Everett men are organising with very considerable'enthusiasm in the free Statos, In consequence of the hopes entertained by their friends In the Southern States. These latter write to their Northern allies that If they are supported they will be enabled, through tho divisions ot the Democracy, to capture Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, and probably Virginia, and twine of them go so far as to any that they may .'give the State of Louisiana to Bell and Everett. The answer to this appeal has been a pretty tho rough organization of tbe American, or old-line Whig, element, all through Pennsylvania, New Jpreey, New York, and New Eogland. Do not be surprised if the “old gentlemenV 1 tlokot, as Mr. Greeley calls it, should play an im portant , if not a decisive, pari in this Fresh Uential campaign. Moanwhile, however, it Vj as serted that Humphrey Marshall has not joined (he Vreoklaridge disuoioulote, but iaotfac* to Veil and Evorott; and, on tho othor hand, that Douglas will have the active and onorgotlo support of hundreds of tbo old American loaders in the Southorn States. Shonid the American party be ablo to carry fouror five Southorn States, the choice of tho next Presi dent will depend upon Congress. It is certain that if they are strong in tho South their friends witi become active in tho North, and thus damage Lin coln and Hamlin almost in tho same degree as they may damage Dougins In the Bouth. The hack down of Mr. Fltzpatrlok, of Alabama, from the nomination of Vice President, conferred upon him by iho regular Domoor&iio Conveotom at Baltimore, has given rise to many surmises. That he was anxious for the nomination his best friends cannot deny. The letter of Mr. Seibela, late American minister at tho Belgian court, a very distinguished Democrat in Alabama, address od to Mr. Fitzpatrick, is said to ©xpoae tho retire ment of the latter from the honor which he sought, With some severity. The Administration social (jifcle claims to have bad a good deal to do with this somewhat ungraceful retreat. Since Mr. Buchanan carno into power fomalo intellect has asserted almost supreme sway in cer tain quarters, and I am happy to state tho fact to his credit Why should not tbo ladies hero their own opinions aod exercise their own Jqdgmonfc In polities as well as in private life? I do not pre tend to insinuate that Governor Fitzpatrick al low?*'himself to be persuaded to yield tbe prize fils be*t Mends were so anxious that bo should ob tain, in deference to this social sentiment; but if he did, whatever may be said on the political side of tbo question, his decision proves that he has a kind and acquiescing heart. The president has lately had sevoral very inte resting interviews with bis bogoip friends. At one of these Interviews, wffen an appeal was made to him to order the guillotine—which has latterly been rusting because no newviotima were offered— to be sharpened and readjusted for the pnrposo o f doing execatlon upon tbe Douglas Democrats now in office, he is said to have lifted his bands in boly horror, exclaiming, “I am sick of taking tbe blood of xuy frit*4fe. m But when tbose around bim told him that he muri yjpjd to tbe decree of putting to death alt in office' who would not agree to go for the Disunion candidate, he surrendered, and thunder has gone forth that every Independent gentleman who deres to recog nize tho nomination of Douglas as the regular pemooralio nomination, end who holds position tinder James Buchanan, is to he forthwith decapi tated. The raid will be o&rriefl on, not merely in the cities, but 1b tbe country; not against custom house officers and post office clerks alooo, but against the small postmasters in tbe Interior counties, towns, and townships, of high and Jow degree. No mercy is to be shown (hem. The war waged upon Robert J. Walker, Stephen 4. Douglas, and The Press , because they stood ateadily by tho principles of the pejnocratio parly, will bo nothing to that which Is to bo conducted against those who do not fall down nnd worship the candidate of the enemies of the Union, nomi nated by tho Secession leaders at Baltimore on tbo 23d of June. Here !r an opportunity for mean men who desire to get into office by going for tho now programme of ibis Administration and the se ceding South, and hero, too, Is a noble chance for honest men In place to show that they are superior to self-interest, if they really be lieve in tbe justice of Democratic principles, and in the binding effect of Democratic usages. Your Collector Baker, who has been tbe most willing of atf the ojecaUpners of the Administration in its orusado upon independent men, will po doubt put tbo test to bis tide-waiters, and Mr. Collector Scholl, of New York, who is expected daily in Washington, will, in order to save bis head, com pel his two or three thousand dependents to take the sanjo course. The eketiop of Auguste pelujont as Chairman ol the National Demooratio Douglas Committee is tfgni&caut. Mr. Belmont is the brother-in-law of Mr. Sonator Slidell, who Is the most active oppo nent ofDouglaßintheSenaleandin the South, Mr. and Mr. Slidell are both men of immense t ntunes. Ilia stated that the former is worth from eightto ton millions; the anmmlincotne of tho lat- variously estimated,but ills veiy large. I bo* tloe on the Breokinridge Contra! Committee tbe name of George W. Riggs, the late partner of W. W. Corcoran, of this oity, the opulent banker ; so that you see the moneyed men on both sides, In tbe Democratic party, have taken tho field. Mr. Bol inont was tho accomplished mini-tor at the Hague during the Administration of President Pierce. Ho is the representative of the RothchUds interest in tbe United States, whoro ho has resided for more than twenty years. He is a gentleman of tho highest character and warmest popular sympa thies'. When appointed by Mr. Fierco to the Ilngue bo was bittorfy availed by tbo general opposition to tho Democratic party, but he discharged the dm ties of his position with so muoh zeal, talent, and liberality as to have completely conquered tho pie* judioes against him. Bis course in reference to Mr. Douglas has not been oontrfled by tho slight ost disappointment- Ho goes for him, as I under stand, because ho believes that his election is ne cessary to tho salvation of tho Demooratio party in tho future, no matter what the result of the pre sent contest may be. Tho New England oWaoter suffered greatly during tbe session of the National Democratic Conventions at Charleston and at Baltimore. The greed of office so characteristic of the Massachu setts, Maine, aud Connecticut politicians, was tyovor more offensively displayed than in the course of some of the delegates from these States. Re presenting miuority States, whioh are controlled by Republicans, and conscious that nothing could over deliver them from the Republican rule- but & Btriot adherence to tbe honest policy laid down by Douglas sod his friends, tho miserablo parasites In the delegations from the States alluded to Qome to Charleston and to BuUimoro, to trade off their people precisely a« If they had been commissioned to soil Yankee docks and wooden nutmegs. It is a ourious faot that, full of intel lect, as many of tho loaders of the Democratic party in New England unquestionably are, most of them are chronically mercenary and selfish. There are, of course, distinguished exceptions. Frank Pierce is one—ljOVl Woodbury w®s another; but when suoh men as Caleb Cushing, Benjamin F Ballot, and George B. Loring indicate a con stant disposition to barter prinqlple for tho sako of interest, la the free of tho faot that nothing but destruction o«n come to the country, Is it not calculated to reflect discredit upon tho whole people whom they profess, falsely, to repre sent? The President rowarded Cel. lsaao H. Wright yesterday, one of the deserting delegates from Massachusetts who went Into the Secession Convention, by appointing him superintendent of the United States armory at Sprinefield, Mass. Xfc is & God's Messing that the vnoaney created by the death of Justice Daniel, of Virginia, did net occur in the New England district; for, If thst had been po, Mr. Buchanan would WUmbUdly have selected Caleb Cushing to fill it. It is said that Mr. Toueey, Secretary of tho Navy, who was on.ee a fair, and honest man, has at last revolted against tho treachery of thoso New England Du gald Dalgettys, apd dcolates, if the present pro cess goes on, In a few yonis thero will hardly be left enough of tbo Democratic party in that region to be used for seed.

Thi* was not the faalt of the gas work's, for it could havo been filled readily In an hour, as tho mala oould supply the gas much faster than tbe balloon could receive it. After a great qaantity had boen injeoted, the immense heap of oiled silk which had been lying in shapeless masses began to swell up like a huge bladder, when it required ninety men, holding bags of sand, weighing one hundred pounds each, attached to the ropes connecting with the netting, to hold it in Its position. Every thing being < ready, the Professor mounted the ropes over the head* of his companions, and bid the company good-bye; stating, also, that the next time he made an ascension in Phi ladelphia, h« intended to u cross the water” to Europe, and he hoped to receive the enoourage- ( mentof theoitizens in his undertaking. At ten minutes of 6 o'clock the rope was let go, when the machine ascended gradually to a considerable height, and took a northeasterly course, after which it passed over to the eastward, orossmg the Delaware over into New Jersey. A rumor pre vailed that (he voyagers came down at Atlantic City, hut this telegraph line to Atlantic City con tradicted the report. Up to a late hour last eve ning it was not known whoro the balloon descend ed. • The audience inside tho enclosure was very small in the early part of tho afternoon, hut later tbero was upwards of a thousand persona present The enclosure only consisted of pieces of canvas, loosely put together, and the outside party all around it, thrust tbeir heads and shoulders under, and lying down on the grass, obtained a good view of what was going on inside. About tbe time tbe balloon was to go up, the outsiders all came in, which made quite a largo congregation. This balloon is (ho one which it was found im possible to inflate fully in New York, so Professor Lowe was obliged to come to Philadelphia, where we are abundantly able to accommodate him with gas, besides supplying the citizens with their usuftl quantity, and have some to spare for others, if ne cessary. It seems not a little singular that the New Yorkers, who are so abundantly supplied with “gas” of anotherAind, should not have been able to fill n balloon from their dljnisuiivr gas works. The ascension of yesterday did not probably pay as a speculation, there being hot a small number of persons who paid to get inside the enclosure Tho aeronaut, with an eye to business, however, previous to leaving terra firitw, invited any adven turous gentleman desirous of taking » 4 ride sky ward to take a seat in the car, at the rate of fifty dollars each. Two gentlemen responded, took their seats inside, and gT&cioußly surveyed the orowd. As there was room for more Professor Lowe said that, as he had one or two seats left, he could take a few more passengers at twenty-five dollars. Several of the crowd who seemed to want to & up, but thought it rather an expensive trip, cried out “ We’ll give you $3O for two,” bat received no answer. Finally, two jovial-looking men in browt linen “ blouses” jumped in, and after some jokes were ctßckod with tbeir friends as to whether they were to be considered as 41 first-class ”or “ second ol&ss ” passengers, the word was given to “ let the rope,” whioh was held by some fifty men, and (ha balloon rose slowly,andmaj«tlo»Uy, the “ pas seogera ,f waving tbe American and British flags while a blue and white flag was suspended from the side of the car. The smaller car, which can be attaohed to thr larger one, was not used. This balloon is a mammoth affair, aAd must be aeon to give one an idea of its great size. When filled ft ia one hundred and twenty feet high from the top to the neck of the valve, and with the oan suspended beneath it, will leaeh an altitude o* two hundred feet, or nearly aa high aa the State House steeple. When only partially fitted yester day, it had a capaolty of taking up 8,000 pounds, or four tons. It was ballasted with sand bags. A Magnificent Present.— A superb set of solid silverware has just been completed by Messrs. Wm Wilson A Son, Fifth and Cherry. streofs, for pre sentation to 'ftm-MAs A. Scott, Esq., General 8u porintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, by the employees ot the road. This set, in common with all tho ware manufactured by this firm, is of lhe sterling standard, and is more massive and elabo rate than any that we have ever examined. It h complete in every particular, containing, in all. eleven pteoes, eaoh richly, differently, and appro priately ornamented, the whole coal ing two thou sand collar*.

This magnificent set is the. largest ever manufactured, for presentation, in tb?

Each piece has Mr Scott’s name engraved upon a burnished tablet and One has this additional inscription: TITS EMPLOYEES OF- THE PRRSBYLYAHIA 8.R., THOMAS A. SCOTT, ESQ.

Atlantic By referring to our ad vertising columns it will bo seen that Messrs Oak man & Co., the obliging proprietors of the Phila delphia Local Express, by tbeir increased facilities, bring this popular resort truly within tho suburb* of Philadelphia. They not only do a regular ex press business to Atlanta CUy, but will call at "hotels and residences, and obeok baggage at your door to be delivered at both ends of tbe routo, s« that the traveller has no trouble or care with hi* baggage. They also deliver pa ok ages and bag gage throughout the oitv r and convey baggage to all the railroad depots, which in these days of city passenger railways is much cheaper than any other method. From tbe large number of packages delivered they are enabled to doit at lower rates than can be done by any other conveyance. Give them a oall.
