THE CHINA STEAMER.
Arrival of the Japan--Her Memoranda--Another Batch of Japanese
The steamship Japan, Captain Warsaw, arrived here from Hongkong and Yokohama yesterday morning. As is usual on the arrival of a China steamer, strict search was made for smuggled goods, and the baggage of the Celestial passengers was thoroughly overhauled, though with but little profit, to the Custom-house officials, the number of Chinese being small and the seizures light.

From a memoranda furnished us by B. Gilman, the Purser of the steamer, we learn that on the outward trip a stop was made off Midway Island and a boat sent to the shore, but on account of the heavy breakers across the mouth of the harbor it was found impossible to land, and there being no signs of life visible on the island, the boat returned to the steamer, which at once proceeded on its voyage.

Among the passengers was the Japanese Charge d'Affaires to Russia, Mr. Kurahash (? spelling), the Secretary, Mr. Unasaki (? spelling), and eleven Japanese students, named Tanemote, Morgami, Taneda, Hatori, Turahaki, Yamaveh, ?, Yanagah, Tahziri, Tseuchiyama, and Ochnika. The entire party are stopping at the Grand Hotel.

( Editor's Note: This list is extremely difficult to read. Another copy will be located and checked against this. )
