rer, no weekly statement was presented. Only l6O
emigraos arrived at this port during the past week

Surisg the same period in previous years letter
wac received from the Mayor regrettiDg bis inability
10 perform the duties of Commissioner, on account of
more important and pressing dGties and declining to
hcenee emigrant runners, the keepers of emgrsnt

SAILING OF THE SLAVE BARK ENnY.-The bark
Emily, which was brought to this port SLAYER from
the Coast Of Africa in charge Of United States OH
ces short time since is reported to have sailed from
Grconpoint the night Of Saturday last 1t is ru-
mo-sd that she sailed under the command of Capt
Townsend, formerly Of the alaver Echo. 1t is also
Etstei that Capt. Townsend was of the two pas
seBsers who were on board the Emily at the time Of
her capture; that be gave bis John Doe that
he was known to the United States authorities that
United States Deputy Marshal travelled all the
city with him for the purpose of procuring bail, and
also that the United States officers in this city
desirous of preventing his real name being made
known to the public. The fact Of the Emily having
left the Navy Yard TO goto Greenpoin:, aud subss-
quently Of leaving port without clearance at the
Custom-H House, is suggestive. We are informed that
she towed through Hell-Gate and passed through
Long Island Sound This is q suspicious circumstance,
to take place Saturday night Perhaps, however,
the United States authorities who had her in charge
until very recently, may know something about her
sadden and unannouneed departure.
