Dinner Given by Captain Ptisbury to the Commisierers of Emigration on his Re= tirement from the Saperiutendency of the Emigrant Kefuge—Remarks of Captain Piishary, Kev, Matthew Hale Sintth, Police Commissioner Stlitman and others. Capiaio Ames Pillsbury, the Superintendent of the Emi grant Refuge on Ward’s Island, tho newly appointed General Superintendent of the Metropolitan police, gave farewell dinner yenterduy, at his residence at Ward's Island, to the Commissioners of Emigration and a select company of invited guent#, on bis retirement from the charge of Ward’s Isiaud, The company assom bled at one o’clock im the afternoon at Castle Garden, where the steamboat Ieland Home was im readiness to convey them to the lsiand, After a pleasant cail of bali an hour or more the alcamer reached ita destination, when the company digembarked at the dock, where the guests were recetved by Captein Pilebury and bis son, They were then escorted over the ieiand, visiting al the various departments of the Refuge. It was quite remarkabie to witness the scrupulous noatuess of tbe various buildings and the general appearance of the island on this occasion, After a pleasant tour of nearly an bour the party were invited to Capt. Pilsbury’s spiep- did mansion, where a bountiful dinner was in readiness. The tablo was covered with all the delicacies of the season, of which the guerts—among whom were Commissioners of Emigration Hunt, Jollinghaus, Cumming, Crabtree and Low, Pole Commiesioners Suliman aod Bai- ley, Queraptine Commissioners Green and Strong, Ex 3a- perintendent of Police Tallmadge, Ex-Chief of Police Mat- Pel; biayor Powell, of Brookiye; James Kelly, Receiver of Taxes; Dr. Carnochaa, John B. Fry, kea., Deputy Superin- tepdent Carpenter, ene Captain George Wailing, Police Jus tice Welsh, Rev. Matthew Hale Smith, nnd others to the pomber of about fifty, partook. Aiter fuli justice bad been done to the good thiags and the inner ran satisfied, it was propored that @ presiding officer should be appointed. In the absence of Mr. Ver- planck, tho President of the Commissioners of Eaoigration, the Viee-President, Mr. Crabtree, was called upon to pre- |) sico. He said the occasion that bed calied them together was one of grief mingled with joy to the Commissioners of Emigration; tt was gricfto them to think they were about to loge @ most yaluabie ofticer; but joy becanse Pilsbury was about to enter a new and responsible sphere of usefulness to public. He believed that Capt. Piisbury was leaving them and about to enter upon his new duties with a full determination to do his whole duty and carry out the spirit and letter of the Metropolitan Police law, if hie health and strength sustained him; and ke leaves the Superintendency of Ward’s Isiand with the best wishes of a 0 circle of friends. The speaker spoke of the poor condition of the inetitutions at Ward’s Island when Capt. Pilsbury as- sumed the charge of them, and paid a flattering compti- ment for the order, system and discipiine brought about aed management; and stated thet be carries with him his prestige in my 8 to his new position. If he wanted any credentials for his past conduct, he could call on not. only those arourd the tabie, but on hundreds, yea thousands of warm friends eleewhere, In conciusion, he propoeed the sentiment:— Long corns ard short ehoes to the enemies of that in- stitution, may they have to waik te Harlem every morning and again every night, Police Commissioner STiLLMAN then the health ) ee aan elected General Su dent of Police, 08 Pilsbury. Soperintendent Prrencny said it was unnecessary for bim io state to maby present, that during the four of his connection with ihe Emigrant Ri he not been a talking man; he wes not able then, nor never was able, to make an after dinner speech, but bo could not let thet oconsion pass, when be bad been alluded to in such compliment terms, without returning them his sin. many kindnosses} cere thanks for the hho had recoived from them at all times whlie in the diecharge of his duty in the care of tho institutions. It was proper for bim toeay be resigned hie oid position with regrat. His interest for the inptitutions contiaued>to grow (i> longer he was connected with them, and he felt a Bre interest in the noble cause in which the Commissioners ol Fmigration were engaged. It was a noble cause, aad thé Outies were performed. by them without fee or reward, Be hoped their reward would hot only couglst in the satis- faction that they haa dono what they could to alle- vate the distresses of tho unfortunate and sick stran- gers in a strange land, bot that. they might inberit a glorious hereafter. Though he was about to en- ter upon other duties, he would still entertain a deep in- tereet in the work in which they were engaged. He ex- pected to meet on tbat occasiog an old friend and ex-Com- missioner of Emigration, Gov. Morgan; but he had re- ceived a letter from him, in which he stated that he had just returriea from @ tour in the Weetern part of the State, ‘aod was therefore unable to be present. In.conclusion he Propored «The health of Eawin D. Morgan, the Governor Of the State of New York.’? The sentiment was received with three choers, and ao soibewri,CmPOvARSEA "on that occasion {5 find “that he ‘was called upon to ri to a ont f0 great im- po .

In conciusion he stated that if Governor Morgan at the expiration of bis term of office ag Governor of the State.of New York, should continue to tain the hi; character that he does pow, they are and al! would bo proud of him as a citizen of the Empiro State. Rev. Marvuxw Haw Suir was the next speaker. Ho spoke of his cld acquaintance with Captain Pilsbury, while the latter was tho warden of the State Prison at Weatherefield, Conn, Tho By Of that district would visit that inetitution to sce the good order enforced and observed. The sccret of Captain Pilabury’s success was that he knew what men ougnt todo, and he made them yield obedience at once. He considered that New York wonid receive a bicesing in getting such a man st the hend of their police force, a man that will make rogues understand that they cannot flourish {about him. He then defended New York against the asperaions cast upon it by those who forget that it is the great door to the country, through which people of all nations make their entrance; considering this fact, it waa a8 well governed as any city in the world. This great success in its government was baged on three elements; first, the ministry, which told the peoplo what they ought to do; second, the magistracy, who told thom what they must do; and, thirdly, the miltary, that told them what they shail do,’ Tho epeaker continued in a pleasant vein of speech, and was bee ep mapas Polico Commissioner Strmmmax ropl be Lape elgg rma a pleagure though bo was Dot traled ty epoc was like his friond Captain Pillsbury, who would rather work than talk, Still, he felt a Object bad been ac- complished by the Police Commissioners in tho eeloction of their host for General Su tendent of Police. He knew that tbe well wishers of the enterprise in which he and his collegues were pm ae end would congratulate them at the pew prize they obtained, and it would be con- sidered a compliment from the Commissioners of Emigra- tion, too, to think they were pleased, and a satisfaction to the Potice Commissioners to think that they had inade « good choice, Ho entertained the highest respect for those ‘who had preceded Captain, Pllsbury in bis new vocation, and did not mean to make any invidious comparisons about times or [dates, but be merely boped thet the Jaws would be carried out with increased vigor, however, that cortain Ii predecessors from that full execution of the laws that they would have done uoder more favorable circumstances. Tho Police Commi:sion- ers will uge every prerogative in assisting the new Superintendent in the discharge of his duties, and ho trusted that the citizens of the Metropolitan district would ot be disappointed at the result. Captain Puspury said tbat the appointment to the general superiutending of police was made without hig knowledge and without his concent, and he tried hard for @ week to declive it. If any error bad been committed in his appointment it was not his, but the Police Commis- sionors’, He would try to do his duty. He had no party to serve nor clique to satisfy; his pay. concern would to learn his duty and to do it. His on! Way, would what is right, and that course he shou! reue.

I will evdeavor to communicate to you our doings since the date of my int letter, which was dated at Hong Kong, Idth of Fobruary las, We left that port on tha) dey, frst giving the Commodore « parting miute of thirteen guns, sud steered ship for home by way 0 Japan, where we were ordered to proceed to take on board the Japanese Ambassador and his suite and convey them to Panama, Two days out from that port, the smal!pox made its ap. pearance upon & man pamed Jobp Morris, whom we had sbiphed at Hong Kong. The first thing to be done was to prevent the disease fkom spreading amongst the shiple company. A temporary housé was erected on the hurri_ cane deck, to which toe sick man was removed and placed under good nurses, By thie prompt measure we had no more cases of this loathrome di&case. Our passage was very boisterous, biowing a strong galo nearly ali the tine from all parts of the compass, We arrived at Simods on ‘the 27th of February, when we soon learned from Consul Herris that the Japanese would not proceed to the United States this spring. This was a damper to us ail, for our Proepect of getting home at an early day appeared to have wil blown over, Next day, by permission of the Japanese authorities, Mors\s was conveyed on snore to couw/ortabie quarters, ina bome connected with the Mariner’s Temple, where overy- thing was provided for bis comfort. Dr. D. B. Phillips, of thie ehip, went on shore to attend him as his physician, and also to act as Consul General in place of Mr. Harris, during his abeence in this ship up the bay. We found the American schooner Wanderer, formerly of Borton, and now owned, I believe, in San Francisco or Hong Kong, in port, trading for lacquered-ware. On the 2d of March wo took Mr. Harris and his interpre- ter on beard, and proceeded up the Bay of Jeddo as far as the town of Kanagawa, which is to be opened to us after ‘the 4th of July next, It was a clear day, and we had a beautifal view of all the sights in the bay, The wonderful yoleano, Foogee ‘Yama, was distinctly seen from the skip, aud the sur- rounding mountains, covered over with snow, added muca to the beauty of the scene. The ship channel we found had been properly buoyed out by the Japanese, Inthe bay we found hundreds of fishing junks, the crews of which rose and politely bowed as we parsed them. The building near Uraga, where Commodore Perry de- livored President Filimore’s lett to the Japanese, still wtands a6 a monument of that eventful day. Shortly after we anchored an officer was gent ou shore at Kanagawa to inform the Governor of oar arrival, with Mir. Harris on board, and requesting him to pay us a visit at an early day. At 10 A. M. next day m barge, elegantly draped to gay trimmings of flags, streamers, and everytilog faa- ciful, came off to the ebip, baving on board the Governor and hig suite, with several servants, all of whom wero riebly attired in satins, silk, &., with rich trimmings of gold and silver, each wearing two swords, The party was met at the gangway by Captain Nichoison, Oonsul Harris, the officers of the ship all in full uniform, and the marines, under Licutenant Reea, drawn up im a line prorenting arms, While the band played ‘ Hail Columbia,” and the houcrea wi are inte Se had our fore top, which was shown all over the thip, and tho ong anms, They were Ofer very ciety. Our ree every part, gold and silver, attracted their attention Véry Maen? if fact, nothing was left unnoticed by them. They appeared to ebjoy their visit very much. After inspecting the ship they were entertained witb a collation by the captain aud officers, and the way the Gevervor and hia suite emptied giuse after gises of old Madeira and Unclo Sain’s whiskey ree pretty good evidence they aid not often enjoy such uxurics. The next day Mr. Harris, accompanied by a midsnip- man sgaide, and an orderly sergeant as orderiy, pro. ceeded on shore to commence his business with the Japanere officials, which was followed up daily for eighicen days, During tis long interim, from day to day, Mr, Harris svcceeccd in arranging all his busmess to bis satisfaction. He hag obtained a grant of land, on which he intends to erect a dwelling ina pret- ty location in that town, The Japanege algo have agreed to erect 2 commodious and suitable wharf near to the game, with proper accommodations for ianding, &o., and we learn that be has succeeded in obtaining a positive promise from the Emperor and court tosend an ambussa- dor to the United States this fail, or early in the next spring, on condition that ———— will convey him and his suite to Panama. reason ened sending one at this time is that thero is a part of the nobi- lity in favor and a ‘against such proceedings, and for that reason they require more timo to taik the sabject over, and, if neceseary, leave it to the people to vote up- on. Now, our jaunt, at an expense of ten or fifteen thou- sand doliare, amounts to just 0—althoagh the town iz not opened to us until July next. The freedom of the place was extended to Captain Ni- | cholson and all under his favor which all of us | who were permitted go to do availed ourselves of, and some of u8 ventured six and seven into the in- ior. Samples of our shell and ehot were, at the ro- queat of the Governor, ecnt on shore to him, which ho stated would bo sent up to Jeddo, for the inspection of the Emperor. ‘henever ros fips our boats approached the beach or landing, thousauds of the Japanese collected near the same, eager to catch a look at apy of us when we landed; at umes the erowd would be so numerous that itwas quite difficult for us to mae much headway. er, ail their movements towards us were polite and civil, and when we stopped for a mo- ment to gaze on any object, we were at once surrounded by crowds of thore people, who very closely exa:nined all our clothing, &c.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE SLOOP-OF-WAR GERMAN- TOWN, COMMANDER PAGE, FROM TOTAL CK, ON TRE LOO CHOO ISLANDS. ‘Tho Germantown left Hong Kong on the 24 of March, with despatches from the government to Consul Harrie, ond orders from the ommodore to Captain Nicholson to hoid on, and not proceed to take on board the Japanese Minigter, or go home, but to rematu where wo were uatil his arrival, or further orders.

The ebip was running aldng tho land, and hed but a few moments before gone about and stood off, for the purpose of burying @ man that had died suddenly in 9 ft the night previous, and was going at the rate of six knots per hour when sbo brought up on tho reef, Her officers stated that she lay oa the same over three hours, and all hopes of say- ing her were abandoned; the money, clothes, &c., were all got up on deck, ready to take to the boata, in cage of any signs of her beginntdg io broak up; the tide was sweep- ing aroung her at six knots per hour and on some parts @f tho reef there were only nine feet of water; the guns were got ready to be thrown overbuard: the shot and sheil (nearly all that was in the ship) were thrown overboard, which lightened ber some, she began to roll with the swell, when all at once, to the great joy of all her gallart hands, she rolled off into deep upehipping her rudder and starting her deck planks, &e. Sbe immodiately anchored near the Loo Choo Islands, which caused a general turn out of all the Ratives of the same, who mustered down to the beach by thousands with flags and spears. Had the ship been abandoned and her be wr g landed, their chance of excape from the scalping knife of the half savages of those Islands would have been very uncertain. ‘Tho passages around these (Loo Choo) islands are very Capgerous, from the very fact that our government has net bad them properly surveyed. On our to Simoda, and in ro from Hong Ke the very sight ‘of there islands, at midday, breakers were hailed from the lookout aloft, which soon proved to be small uninhabited rock, lifting up about itty feet above the level of tho sea, right in the vory track of vessels bound to Simoda, and certainly a moat dangerous ob- Stacle to navigators. It is hign time that those seas ebould be carefully surveyed. The Germantown wiil proceed to Shanghae, or if safe, to Hong Kong, for the purpose of going into dock to look at ber Lottom, which is thought to be badly injured. The officers and men consider it ag a miracle that they are now afloat in their beautiful ship. Fortunately it was not blowing very boavy at the time; if it had been, in all pro. bability sho would have been knocked to atoms in a few hours. This ship has been rather unfortunate, having lost two officers; tho first Mr. Strembie, the saiimaker; also Lieut, Lape who lost his life through accident; and five men, two of whom died with the cholera, and asa wee ‘Sho wos ashore, aud narrowly total do- ruction.
