DINNER TO CAPTAIN HosKEN.-A number of our
citizens, merchants, underwriters, and others, gave
a dinner, last evening, at the Astor House, to Cap
tain Hosken. of the Great Britain, Chief Justice
Jones presided assisted by James d. P. Ogden
The following were the regular toasts:-
1.-The merchants Of Bristol the first to risk theil
wealth in antic Steam Navigation-the thank,
OF both nations are justly their due
2. The President OF the United states.
8. The Queen OF Great Britain and Ireland.
4. Captain Hosken-whose skill and department have
secured the confidence the public with we'll
popuartymay the measure OF his correspond
with the mag nitude of his command
s. The memories of w att and Fulton in the "Great
Britain" witness the grandes triumph of their art
and the proudest monument OF their genius.
o. The pacific influence of steamit makes all nations
neghbors-and neighbors should quarrel.
!. The Cities of Liverpool and New York-honorable
competitors in commercial enterprise.
Captain Hosken made reply to the compliments
paid TO him and his ship, alluded to the reception he
met with his first arrival in the Great Western ;
stated his belief that the Great Britain as strong
and substantial a ship as was built, and that al
though some Improvements might be made in the
form Of the propelling power, he considered the
Great Britain a successful experiment, and one
destined to command public confidence AS speech
making was not his vocation, he begged to assure
the gentlemen present. in the words OF his amented
friend, Captain Roberts, that his thanks came from
the heart.
Steam and its uses, its advantages and its bless
mgs, and the prospects of its still increasing bene
fits now enlarged upon in the volunteer toasts and
speeches that followed, and the evening was spent
in great hilarity.
Letters were received from Commodore Jones,
Captains Stringham and Cooper, and Colonel Bank
head, regretting their inability to be present the
occasion.
All these dinners, however, well enough in
their way; they are capital to the lovers OF good
eating; but will they create the confidence in the
public mind that time and experience wl The
Great Britain is splendid steamer, but chickens
and champagne will not increase the number of her
passengers.
