The dinner TO Mr.. WHEATON, at the New
York Hotel, was served on Thursday
The venerable Albert Gallnin taking the chair
supported, as Vice Presidents, by Benjamin F.
Butler, Gulian C. Verplanck. DR.. J. w. Fran
els, James DE Peyster Ogden, George Curtis
and ID. c. Golden. Among the guests were
the Mayor Of the Ci,y,i ,iCommanders Soat and
Nc. Keever of the Navy, the Rev. DIR. Vain.
wright and the Rev. o. Dewey, Judge Duer of
New Jersey, and J. Schmidt, Consul of Prussia,
and Mr.. Stein Billie, charge dafaires Of Den
mark.
Aller the removal of the cloth, MIR. Gallatin
having retired, Mr.. Bradsh took his place, and
introduced toast to MIR. Wheaton-in prefac-
ing, which, says the Courier, he spoke with
fervor, discrimination and warm memory Of
past associations, of the purity Of character,
the eminence of talent, the variety and the ac-
curacy of the atiainments, talents and services
Of the honored guest. MIR. Wheaton's reply
was brief and modest, as became The man and
the occasion. Highly complimentary letters
were read from Chancellor Kent, Messrs. Ad-
ans, Webster, Van Buren, &C., all recognizing
the claims of the veteran diplomatist TO the
highest respect of The country.

DEsriTUTE IMMIGRANT PAssENGERs.-From
the Boston Customhouse books, it appears that
from the lst of April TO the 10th June, little
over two months, seren thousand four hundred
and hirty-eigh passengers have arrived at that
port, nearly all ofwhom are immigrants. The
number which arrived at New York last week
alone is stated to be s,9l4. Two thirds fthese,
we are told are from land of famine and dis
ease. The steps of the Astor House, the Gus
tomhousc, the Merchants Exchange, and other
localities in Broadway and Wall street, are
literally bockaded with mendicants, while scat
tered in squaid groups, along Nassau street and
around the Park, may daily be seen sad real
pictures Of human misery and destitution.
