Departure of Hon. Geo. M. Dallas for England.

New York, March 2. Among the passengers who left this port yesterday by the steamer Atlantic for Liverpool, was the Hon. Geo. M. Dallas, the newly appointed Minister to England. A large number of the personal and political friends of Mr. Dallas assembled on the pier to bid him adieu, and as the vessel left the dock they gave him three hearty cheers thrice repeated. He is accompanied by his family, who will remain with him in England during his stay in that country.

They spent the last three or four days previous to their departure with Col. James B. Murray, of this city, who entertained a large party on Friday evening, at his residence in Washington place, to meet the new Minister, and to express their confidence in his ability and patriotism in the important mission which he has undertaken.

Among those who called upon Mr. Dallas were Lieut. Gen. Scott, Commodore Perry, Hon. Edward Everett, Judge Kane, of Philadelphia, Dr. Kane, (Arctic Expedition,) Hon. James S. Wadsworth, Hon. R. J. Walker, Hugh Maxwell, Esq., Collector Redfield, and many others.

A committee of the Chamber of Commerce, consisting of Hon. Moses H. Grinnell, William Hoge, Esq., Paul N. Spafford, James Lee and Thomas Tileston, besides several bankers and merchants also waited upon Mr. Dallas and interchanged sentiments appropriate to the occasion.

Mr. Dallas carries with him the support of the whole community, and has reason to feel that he represents and illustrates the sentiments of our whole people.

G. W. Beach, Esq., also went out in the steamer Atlantic, as bearer of special despatches from the Hon. W. L. Marcy to the United States Legation at London.
