Our Washington Letter.

Wassineton, D. C., Oct. 7.

Since the arrival here of the Embassy, the Chinese Embassador has received the sum of $100,000, deposited in the San Francisco sub- Treasury, and a telegraphic transfer to this city has been made. The U. 8. ‘Treasury made the transfer without charge, as a matter of courtesy, which was the same thing as giving the Embassy $1,000. Chin Lan Pin wrote a polite note of thanks to the Treasurer for the favor. Heand his Assistant Minister have been through with the usual custom of forei Ministers, and called upon all the other diplo- matics, leaving cards. The Celestials each left two cards, oneinscribed in English and the other in Asiatic characters, Sir Edward Thornton, English Minister, was the first to return the call, and these high and mighty dignitaries sat stiffly, with a narrow board be tween them (which same was broaght from China) and sipped tea together.

The credentials of office, which were read to to the President at the time of the presenta- tion of the Embassy to him, were written upon a strip of parchment about 4 feet long, and neatly rolled upon a strip of parchment. The writing was in Chinese, of course, largely and plainly inscribed, the characters resem- bling those we see on tea chests, and no one will say that Sec’y Evarts is incapable of jok- ing, who saw him, with gravest face before the President, as an interpreter was readin it, and say, ‘* Mr. President, please to loo over the original’and see if the translation is literal.”

oe to the general expectation, the re- ports reaching us from the yellow fever districts continue as distressing as ever. Of the oy of nurses who went to Memphis from here, several have died, including the lady in charge of the party.
