Their Movements at Waehingtea--The
Treaty Ratified, Ac
Al boob, Tuesday, the Japanese Commis
sioners, attended by two or three members of
their suite, and the United State* Naval Com
mfsston, all in carriages, and preceded by
their treaty-box, borne oa the shoulders of
two of Iheir servants, proceeded to the State
Department, where their treaty with this
Government waa daly ratified, In the office of
the Secretnry. On their arrival there, in their
presence and that of Secretary Case, Assist
ant Secretary Appleton. and two or three
others of the Department, the copiea of the
document were carefully compared, and cer
tificates of the correctness of each were tt«ly
signrd and exchanged, which comprises ail
the ceremonies comprising Ihe ratification of
a treaty.
OIHNEBV FOR THB JAPABBSB.
The interview last Friday eveuing between
the Japanese and American physicians, says
a correspondent of the New York Tribune,
was only the first of a series of practical dis- |
cessions, to which the visitors nave been, or |
are to be, invited. Tbe second took place on
Saturday afternoon, when Commander Dahl
gren, of the Washington Navy-Yard, exhibit
ed to the principal Ambassadors a number of
tbe most finely-wrought American fire-arms,
giving, also, explanations of their mechanism,
and illustrations of tbe manner in which
they are used. Commander liahlgren was in
troduced by Lie*tenant Porter, as the officer
having charge ol the Ordnance Department
at the Navy-Yard, and as having made the
subject nnd'er consideration his especial study
f*r a long lime. When it was mentioned that
the heavy guns the Ambassadors had seen on
board tbe Powhatan were of Dahlgren's de
sign, the Japanese present expressed In warm
er terms than before their ratisfactionat meet
ing with bim. Two marines, sergeant and
private, then came in, and, under direction of
tbe former, ihe hitter went through the drill
peculiar to tbe sword-bayonet rifled-musket,
which was carefully elucidated, the Japanese
showing evident understanding of the pro
cess, notwithstanding its novelty to them. A
number of fire-arms were then submitted to
iaspectioa, with the operations of which the
Am bassttdors expressed themselves content.
Ogoori lloongo no Kami, the third Ambassa
dor, who had throughout displajed the most
interest in the proceedings, then observed
that, although a civil functionary, he had re
ceived a military education. He re-examined
the several weapons with particular care, giv
ing evidence by the manner in which he took
and handled tbem that be was a connoisseur,
and thoroughly appreciated their superior
workmanship. The arms were all breech
loading, with the exception of one rifled mus
k*;t, constructed upon the principle of tbe
Colt's revolver. Ammunition, cartridges,and
the percussion liut recently invented as a sub
stitute for the cap, were exhibited, scarcely
I any explanation being requited, the Jn.pune.-e
I evidently recognizing at a glance the merits
of everything laid before them.
With considerable satisfaction the third
Ambassador then brought forward the rifle
manufactured at Jeddo, which possesses cer
tain improvements upon the American Sharp's
rifle, lelt with the Japanese in B9&I by Com*
module Perry. They carefully aud anxiously
scrutinized Commander Dahlgren's face while
he examined it, and seemed overjoyed when he
declared that the "invention was very credit
able, and the workmanship excellent." He
remarked, at the same time, that ho would
wish to see the weapon tested before fully
pronouncing upon it. to which the Ambas
sadors answered that it h:td been well tested,
but yet, lierbaps, not so much as would be de
sirable. l__i«
Commander Dahlgren then invited the Ja
panese to visit the Navy.Yard, and to witness
the operations aud effect of ihe bea»y ord
nance there. This proposition they very
promptly accepted, and next Wednesday was
flx»d for the event. The Japanese were well
pleased to learn that specimens of the various
fire-arms could be obtained and taken home
with them, and received with thanks a book
upon bjat howitzer practice, which was pre
sented to them.
The principal Amlmssador, in speaking ol
his sword, mentioned that it had been in his
family for four hundred years, and added that
the swords of matiy of his triends ia Japan
were known to have been made at least twice I
as lung.
The Washington Star says that they were
waited upon by Mr. Colt, (of revolver re
nown/ with whom they spent a pleasant hour
in examining his arms and listening to his ex
' planations. They then exhibited to Mr. Colt
the,ir improvement on Sharpe's carbine, with
which Mr. Colt expressed himself very much
pleased, and remarked to them that the person
1 who had made thai improvement was a man
of great IngenuDv, and deserving of a great
deal of credit. These arms, he said further,
were us well made ns any that were manufac
tured in America. They seemed very reluc
tant to part with Mr. Colt, they hod become
so very much interested in the guns.
TUB EEVKNI X OF JAPAN.
During this Interview thesubject of the rev -
• euue of Japan was introduced. In answer to
' a auestionr from Commander Dahlgren, the
- Ambassadors stated, after some consultation,
» that it amounted to about *,>(Ki,out»,OHn, princi
• unllv derived from the tax upon agricultural
•" produce, rice being ihe staple crop. Of this
" 30 iier cent, is ihe revenue ot the general gov
ernment, aud 70 per cent, that of the rulers of
r* the several States, each of which has its dis
tinct though tributary and subordinate gov
ernment It seems almost impossible that this
estimate can have been correctly mode, ac
= cording to our currency. The total ie proba
bly exaggerated. It would require a tax of
J more than »lv a head, or about *50 a family.

x The Ambassador* aad some of their highest
- officers are to dine with the President next
¥ Friday They yesterday sent their formal ac
' cepiance of his invitation. It was a docu
"' ment of gigantic dimensions, inclosed in nn
k envelope about a foot in length and corres
*f nondingly broad. The contents, on nnfold

• Abu«ei~per waa thickly covered with tho
■ curious configurations of the " Jsie," or high
est order ot Japanese writing. The two in fa.
- rior and simpler orders are not used on State
,d occasions. Appended was a Dutch translation,
'" which tetter fulfilled the expectations of those
th who received it.
it On Saturday the Japanese officers were
v rinded through all parts of tbe hotel by Mr.
i- Willard They professed great satisfaction
ir with all the details of management, as, iu
deed, they do with every worthy thing that
comes within their observation. Ihe opera
tions ol the laundry, the cooking apparatus,
and the mechanism of tbe bell-wires e*|.e
cially interested them. Tbey Anally reached

,c tbey were delighted.

RICHMOND. VA., THURSDAY, MAY 24,1860.
A Lbttbb raoat Hbbbab—deorAer F.gA«
Fir'd tyon.-Wfla-ev Spirit of the TT«ee con
tains a letter from Heeaao, dated Loodoa, May
Oth. He says he haa entirely recovered from
the "little scar" under the eye, and finds no
fault with ftnyers for hts conduct daring the
I combat, hat lays the blame on the Champions
ft tends. Tbe referee has given Sayers two
months to prepare for another battle. He
odds :
I am glad to say, however, that through the
determiaation of Mr. W., I have got a day set
for a aew battle, hot 1 cannot mention It at
present, ac P. would come hack here la time ta
interrupt the meeting. In the meantime I
think I shall go over to Ireland to train, or to
some place at any rate where I shall not be
harassed as I waa before. They gave me a
pretty rough time of it with their warrants
aud notices to quit, aad I want no more of
that kind of exercise. I mast say, however,
thai I have bat little faith in being able to get
the belt, though I have themoet perfect confi
dence in being able to win It In lose than half
an hour. Tbe persons wbo were willing to
bet lou to 4U against me before will not let me
have it under any circumstances and it must
not be forgotten that Mr. Dowling, who show
ed me so much favor at the lost tight, la looked
up to by the boxers here as the natural pro
tector of the trophy of Old England.
There are a hundred difficulties in the way,
and the fighting pari is, so fares I am con
cerned, the least ono of all. They now say
that the Government will surely interfere to
prevent us if we attempt to meet again, and,
In addition to this, tbey threaten to prosecute
ns both for wbat we have already done
liatber tight on the American people that! as
tbe boys say at home \ and* to tell you tbe
truth, I am a little oneasy that they may
keep th-ir word. Under this state of things I
shouldn't much wonder now to see Sayers ar
rested for the first time; and if that course is
taken, and he is bound over in a heavy sum, 1
shall be told it is not his fault he cannot meet
me, and the stakes will be drawn, nnd he will
keep tbe belt, for bis term is out some time iv
June. To become champion after that I should
have to wait until a new belt is subscribed
for, aud then 1 would have to fight for ii with
plenty of the lon-to- in fellows around to help
me to win it. However, I shall stick to my
point as long as 1 can, aud get a uew meeting
out of Sayers if possible. So, if Ido not bring
over tbe belt, nobody shall say that I did not
take every fair chance to get it.
The letter adds tbatouly twenty-five friends
on each side will be present, and that no three
guineas railroad train profits will be made.—
The friends of Heenau held another meeting
in New York on Monday evening, when the
President announced that tbe fund now
amounts to between f?,000 and t?10(«JO. In
Boston $450 were subscribed at a meeting on
the same even i itg.
THB TOBNADO AT CINCIWWATI— Further Par
ticulars.—A. disi.a'cb from Cincinnati gives
further particulars of the terrible tornado
there Mcnday. The Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton Railroad was covered with a for
est of lallen timber between Cincinnati and
Carthage villat;e, and the country along the
Little Miami Railroad, between that city and
Loviland. suftered terribly. It says :
At Loveland ihe raiiroad depot mid other
buildings were demolished, a-j was the railroad
ahoy at Lawrenoeburg.
Tbe Catholic Seminary on the hill, beyond
Brighton, was unrojlfd and otherwise badly
damaged. The storm visited Cutnminsvilie
with great fury. The Catholic Orphku Asy
lum was completely unroofed, aud the wood
between Cutnminsvilie and the Brighton
House completely covered with trees turned
up by the routs. The nurseries and gardens
along the road suffered lernbly.
The storm raged witb fearful violence along
the river. The steamers at tbe levee were,
however, properly moored, and weathered the
gale. The steamer Virginia Home, when two
miles ab»ve the city, was capsized, and the
cabin parting from the hull, floated down the
river in fragments. There were buc three pas
sengers on board, all of whom were saved.—
Two of the crew were lost. The boat was
valued at SG,l*Hl.
At Spring drove Cemetery the destruction
to monuments, trees and shrubbery, was se
vere Alone ihe Cincinnati, Wilmington and
Zanesville Railroad, from Morristown to Cir
cleville, trees were blown down by thousands, ]
and several houses were destroyed. There was i
great destruction of trees and shrubbery, and I
all along the Clifton avenues the trees were
uprooted. _
_, train on the Covington and Lexington
Railroad was tnrown from the track, and tbe
locomotive and baggage car completely demol

A heavy rainset in early in ihe evening,and

Sat> Domestic Infelicity— Elopement of a
Minister's Wife.— The town of Asbburuhaio,
Mass , bas been somewhat agitated for a few
days by an elopement which took place on
Friday of last week. It appears that, some
eight years ago, Ellen M., the only daughter
of Mr. Samuel Barrett, a very respectable cit
izen, and for a quarter of a century postmas
ter of that town, now deceased, married the
R*v Mr. Root, a Congregational Minister,
then settled in Williamsburg, Mass. They
subsequently removed to Springfield, Ohio,
where Mr. Root is now settled, and where the
i>re*eut unhappy troubles had their beginning.
Mrs Root some time since formed an attach
ment for a gentleman of that place, tbe hus
band of a devoted wife, the father ot five chil
dren a member and one of the pillars of her
husband's church. How long this attachment
b;id continued dtts not appear; but, about
three weeks ago, the guilty parties secretly
left SpringfiVld, aud came to Massachusetts
together. ■ _____!,
The woman, desiring to see her friends in
this country before she left them forever, came
to Ashburuham, while her companion went
toFitchburg. Suspicion rested od tlie par
ties there and accounu came from Ohio that
all was not right; On Friday of last week he
hired a horse of Tilton A Fierce, in Leomin
ster, intending to carry the lady to ritchburg
and take the cars for the South. Disappoint
ed as to the time, they drove on to New Hamp
shire, leaving the team at Thornton's Jerry
andonrsued iheir way to the North. Officer
Wetoerbee, of Ashburnhain, as soon as the
facts became known, started in pursuit, found
the deserted team at Nashua, and the fugitives
at Montreal. The authorities at Montreal re
fused to give up the man on the charge of
larceny-the only charge which could be sus
tained against him-and ihe officers was com
uelled to return aloue. Tbe mau who had
given various names, waa registered at Mon
"real as "J. W. Brocaaw." His age is about
forty-one years, and be claims to be a man of
good reputation, high social position, and ex
cellent business connections, all of which be
has abaudonert in the pursuit of his mfatua-
U Mrs. Root, who is about thirty years of age,
complained bitterly of of ber
marriage relations, and declared ber deter
mined purpose to abandon husband, frieuds,
bouor-every ihing,_or tbe only .•"•_«» whom
she had ever loved. Bar friends ia Ashburuham

A Prudent Bbidb.—Miss Eliza Logan, the
actress, whose recent marriage with Mr. Geo. '
Wood.a theatrical manager, appears to have
kept in mind the too often unhappy results
of theatrical alliances, and to have arranged
her matrimonial "programme" with a sharp
eye to the future "benefit"' of herself and her
new lord. The Cincinnati Commercial says
tbe fair bride has conveyed i n trust to her bro
ther for her use all her real and personal pro
perty. The following is the schedule of her
property recorded in the deed of trust:
In Cincinnati, the property known as Wood's

the report of the Committee on Missions, es
tablishing a Conference in Arizona and New
Mexico. Uutil organized, however, tbe dis

Thb Democratic Convention.—From all
the information that can be gathered, the ad
journed Democratic Convention to this city
will t>e mere largely attended than even the
Contentions of Charleston and Chicago. A
delegation from Cincinnati, which it is ex
pected will number 5M or iHKi persons, will be
accompanied by Mentor's celebrated band.—
Tbe delegation from New York city will num

The Irish Emioration.—Tbe Cork Exami
ner, received by the Adriatic, again calls at-'
ten Hon to the iramensp emigration from Ire
land, especially through the American steam
ers which leave Queenstown at the rate of
two per week. Until this arrrtngement came
into operation, says the Cork paper, thn main
supply for this extraordinary outflow of the
population was afforded by the various coun
ties of the South, as Cork, Kerry, Waterford,
Tipperary and Limerick. The quotasupplled
by the South seems, then, to have reached its
highest limit; for, though the whole numbers
weekly departing are still as great as ever,
those from the South have been steadily de.
creasing, while the deficiency has been made
up from the Northern counties.
Hailstorm in North Carolina.—On the
afternoon of the llth, a destructive hail storm

Cabarrus and Charlotte counties, N. C—
Wheat,cotton, and growing crops of all kinds

tations the wheat waa entirely destroyed.—
The hail covered the ground from 4 to 6 inches
deep. The same storm visited the neighbor
hood of Monroe, Union county, N. C. The
hail-stones remained on the ground 12 or l«
hours. Wheat was very much injured—in
some fields not a stalk remaining. Some of
thestones were as large as hen-eggs, shattering
the glass from windows, and doiug a great
deal of damage.
A Great Fishing Season.—The New Bed
ford (Mass.) Mercury says that the fishermen
are quite lucky this season. Besides many
great hauls ef herrings and other small fry,
the schooner Daniel McPhee has brought into
Gloucester 45,000 lbs. of halibut, from the
Western Bank, which werp sold lor 11,135, and

Daring Robber* and Attempted Incendiarism.—
Yesterday morning, between the hoars of 4
sod 5 o'clock, dense volumes of smoke were
teen to proceed from the basement room of
Messrs. James H. fearce A Oo.'e drag Blare
soutbeast comer of »th aad Broad streets, and
tbe alarm was immediately given. In the
meantime Mr, Peeree, who slept in the oflK-e
near tbe centre of the main store, was aroused
by the aoise, Bed finding the establishment oa
fire, ran to the basement door at the foot of
tbe flight of steps leading Into the store, and
closed it, thus confining the smoke and flames
to tbe hasemenr. The alarm soon brought the
firemen with their apparatus to the scene, and
in a very eaort time tbe names were extin
guished.
The fire originated in the rear of the base
ment, and most have been commnateate- to a
box and hogshead of paekieg atraw, both of
which ware partly Burned. Immediately
around this pile, Were barrels of alcohol,
varnish, etc., the staves and hoops on some of
which were badly charred, and which mast
have exploded in a very short time, bat for the
promptneaa of tbe firemen.
After "the extinguishment of the fire, it was
fonnd tbat the robber had entered Mr. Fearce's
chamber, administered to him a large dose of
chloroform, then getting his safe key, bad
helped himself to SotK) in money and decamped.
The chloroform bottle showed tbat at least an
ounce of the liquid bad been taken ont during
the night. Ia another room in the rear part
of tbe store, slept two of tbe clerks, who were
not nronsed until the fire was discovered.
As there was no breaking to the doers or
windows, Mr. Pearce has come to tbe con
clusion that tbe robber moat have secreted
himself in tbe coal vault the day before, and
probably falling to Bleep, had remained con
cealed lotger than he intended. He thinks the
Are was accidental, and that the robber caused
it by lighting a match to find his way out of
the basement, and dropping it in tbe rnhbisb.
As yet very few, if any, of the fine goods are
missing, though many of them were tabeu
from the shelves and cases and scattered about
the counters. The greatest injury was caused
by tho smoke, which has blackened and de
faced everything. Messrs. P. A Co. were fully
insured against loss.
The building is owned by Mr. M. S. Valen
tine, who occupies the second and third
stories. His loss is comparatively small.
Ash'and Races—Second Day —There Were tWO
races over this track yesterday, and both were
interesting. Tbe llrst was a sweepstake for
three year olds, for which there Aye entries,
only three of whom started. As on the pre
vious day the attendance was large, some few
ladies appearing in the pavilliou allotted to
tbem, and adding interest to the sport by their
countenance and smiles. Tbe track was in
excellent condition, notwithstanding therein
of the night before; tbe oflicers were polite aud
attentive to their guests, and tbe bestordor
was preserved on the course and in tbe booths.
Before tbe start Hall's fllly was slightly the
favorite in the betting, tbough Belcher's colt
had many friends, who backed blm freely to
win.
In the first heat Belcher's colt got the send
off and cut out tbe work, but was collared and
passed at the first quarter post by the Ally,
who looked very much like a winner as she
sped along the back *tretcb. Gieeu'scolt occu
pying tbe third position. On nearing the head
ot tbe stretch. Belcher's colt made a telling
brush, lappeal the filly and out-footing her
down the straight run. won tbe heat iv fcflS.
In the second heat, Belcher got the send-off,
the filly second, Green's colt forty feet behind.
At the quarter pole, the filly took the lead,
nnd held it till nearing the quarter stretch,
when Belcher went up aud passed ber, and
led home in r.5-1, Green's colt making up his
ii.st ground and securing the second place.—

Second Race—Proprietor's Purse *400, three
mile heats.—This was one of the most exciting
as well as well contested races tbat ever came
off at Ashland. There were three entries for
the purse,only two of whomcame to the post,
Delphine and Don Juan. The mare was the
favorite at five aud six to one, and at these
figures large sums changed bauds. Indeed,
the most anient friends ol the horse scarcely
hoped to see blm do more than make sport, not
believing that "to win " was in him.
At the Bound of tbe born the two came up
together, and at the tap of tbe drum effected a
start, Hon taking the lead and track, the mare
waiting on him lor a mile and three-quarters,
when she commenced her run, caught and
passed hint at the stand, and opened such a
gap before getting to the head oi the stretch,
that her jockey drew his whip and attempted
to force her home in time to shut him out, but
failed to do so by a length. The first mile was
run in 1:57, the"second in l:sl„ ! j,and the heat
So sanguine were the friends of the mare on
the result, that they offered fabulous odds on
her winning, forgetting that she had been
driven desperately for a distance, and thai
Don was jockeyed by " Jesse," ihe rider of the
famous '• Planet," aud the snrewdesi ebo that
ever straddled a pig skin.
Iv the second heat Don led from the score,
aud beiugadmirably kepi together, and all his
strength husbanded, was piloted through the
beat llrst in 5:51.
The odds now changed, and Don had the
call, as the mare was very much distressed.
Iv the third heat Don again led off, but the
mare caught and passed bun at the half-mile
pole. On reaching the head of the stretch
Jesses persuaders made Don quicken his
pace, and after a beautiful run down the
stretch, he once more showed his nose in front,
as they passed tbe stand in 1 :•">•-'. Throughout,
the second mile Don held the place of leader,
crossing the score iv J:sl, aud in the ibird mile
seemed to have it all bis own way until get
ting to tbe back stretch, when the mare rallied,
miide a run, and took the l*Mid. Every one
now thought the old horse "done for,"
Bt his skillful jockey at once took him in
ud, aud by constant uursiug kept him in
iKing distance until getting ou the straight
run home, when the persuaders aud "cat-gut"
were applied, and the Don fairly lifted over
tbe score, three feet ahead, in M3_ ; boih an
imals beiug dead tired. We append a sum

Destructive Fire.—Oa Tuesday last, between
the hours of I and i o'clock, tbe dwelling
bouse of Mrs. Wm. Sizer, iv Henrico county,
about four miles northeast of Richmond, ac
cidentally took fire and was burned to tbe
ground. Tbe fire is supposed to bavi origina
ted from sparks from the kitchen chimney, but
about this there is 110 certainty. When tbe
flames were first discovered, Mrs. S. and her
household exerted themselves in saving from
tbe conflagration a very aick child, and as
none of the neighbors happened to be nigh, tbe
flames soon got complete control of the upper
part of tbe house, ao tbat little if aay of the
furniture in the second story of the building
waa saved. Besides tbe toes of furniture,
clothing, provisions, books, etc., Mrs. S. bad
•50 in mousy in one of her drawers, which
were destroyed. She had no insurance on any
thing, and her losses are therefore serious.
