A large meeting was held tn Philadelplifa on Tnesday night, at whieh the following preamble nd resolutions were reported : Whereas, in the present prostrate condition of al and mar ufacturing interest of the ¥. involvinr - the suspension of many ar leading mer nants, and the closing of our workshops and mannfactories. er) thous- ands whose * se dependence is their daily Lave been * nrown ont of employment ; And © shereas, in consequence of this unusual and “ sséressing state of affairs, a rapid deprecia- * sn in the value of mone gne labor, and of Property generally, bax been, ai is now being Serricaed: which depreciation aj Ts not up to the present time—contrary to ail reasonable expectation, in view of the vast resources of the country—to have extended to the necessaries of life. And whereas, it is evident that, at the — high prices of provisions, it will soon be Impos- sible for a large portion of our people to procure the comforts of life, and that many are threatened with actual starvation unless speedy relief be ob- tained: Therefore, be it Resoteed, That it is alike the duty and interest of all to unite their efforts in resisting the mt extravagant prices of the leading articles of food, and to secure a reduction in the cost of living: corresponding with the decreased value of othe: ™merchantise and labor 2. Resofred, That, in the judgment of this meeting, « material reduction in the price of the lending articles of food may be made, and still leave to the producer a fair return for bis labor and capital, to demand more than which is nei- ther just nor wise. 3. Resolved, That, in order to bring the prices of provisions to a fair standard, we pledge our- selves not to pay more than the annexed Prices for the following articles, viz: Butter, per pound. Beef, - o Vv “ 10 cents. oo 10 cents Mutton, « Scents. Totatoes, per bus! « G60 cents. And in case of refusal on the part of the dealers to sell at the above rates. we do hereby pledge ourselves to each other and to the community not chase the above-wamed articles for the days next ensuing. 4. Resolved, That a committee of five citizens be appointed to take the necessary measures fn procuring provisions in large quantities, direct from the country, to be sold at cost prices to the consumer. 5. Resolved, That we call upon the authorities to strictly enforce the existing ordinances rela- tive to hucksters and shinners, and that the citi- ze=x be urged to purchase their supplies direct from the farmer and the butcher. 6. Resolved, That we call upon the citizens throughont the entire city to unite with us in Support of the above resolution. The resolutions were all adopted with the ex- ception of the third. and upon this a committee of teu was appointed to take the resolution into consideration, and report whether any better Plan could be 2dopted, the committee to Teport on Monday evening next. A Barra, Hussaxp —Lastnigh*, 1 man naincd Stephen Kearney went to the house of his father- in-law, named Samuel Pallent, to call upon his wife with whom be bas not lived for upward of a year, on account of some difficulty between them. The man Kearney, it seems, is a drunken fellow, who, by bis brutal conduct toward his ms wife and infant child, compelled her to ve bim and return to the home of her father. Mr. Pailent bed frequently warned Kearney to May ewav from his house; which warning Kear- ¥ disregarded; and, when drunk, would visit a. and vent bis abuse upon his wife under her father’s roof. He went last night, and wish- ing to see her, she came to the door, and after a few words Kearney went away, but soon after he Teturned. bringing his brother with him. Mr. Pailent forbid them the house, and Kear- nay, after exchanging some threatening words with led off and knocked Pallent down. got = and staggered into the door. when Kearney followed. knocking him down again. A voung lad named Henry Howlett, who was present, seeing the old man thus beset, seized an old musket, which was standing convenient . and beat Kearney over the head with it, inflictin; 2 serious scalp wound; whereupon Kearney’s brother rushed up and drew him out of the house and carsied himotf He was taken the drug-store of Mr. Stone, corner of Seventh and K streets, where bis head was dressed ; he then went to his own bome. Pallent and Howlett were arrested and taken to the office of Justice Donn, where they remained all night, bat were discharged this morning, no one appearing to make any charge against them Tue Patext Orricr—The area walls, to- gether with the main basement wails of the north Tront of the Patent Office Extension, are up, and the foundations of the interior division walls arc already begun. In the course of the present fall the brick division walls will have been built up and the basement arched over. ‘he granite stone for the greater part of this branch of the extension is ready cut, and great Progress toward north front may be ex- the completion of the pected during the next summer. ‘The western wing can now be seen in its fin- ished state and under more favorable ciream- stances than heretofore.

As illustrative of the «pirit with which the dealers in this quarter carry on the war. we have only te refer to the ad- vertisements of Messrs. Hall, Hyatt, and Perrie, all of whom are located between | and K streets north. It is really worth a walk ont there to see the fine display made by these gentlemen in their line of business Tue Woxknorss —Te-day, there are fifty-six prisoners st the workhouse; in the almshouse foity-five paupets At the present time they are as comfortable a possible tn the temporary struc- ture erected for their use. ‘The only tag to fear ix their carelessness of their own health.

The Justice advised him to settle, but he was in- exorable: he cond fix Mr. Constable, he coulda’t levy on his things! The officer went to his vic- tim’s house, bul couldn’t get in. He tried to persuade, but it was no use. Examining the premises, he at last saw a parrot sitting upon a perch inthe yard, and which the victim valued very highly. Getting a long pole he reached Poll, and the bird clung to the pole until the levy was made. The debtor owned up beat, and tried to compromise, but the constable claimed bis entire amount, and declares that if not paid Poll shall have another owner RELIciovs.—Monday being the day observed in the Catholic Church for the commemoration of All Souls, solemn religious service will be held in St. neat ih Charch, Alexandria, Sunday evening, on which occasion th> interior of the building will be dressed in black, and a discourse will be delivered by the Rev.

To lay hold and assixt he knows would be dangerous, as the application of additional force might carry away the rigging that suspends the sail at balf and leave the wearer almost under bare poles, consequently he is com- peled to remain inactive, notwithstanding sucha course las every appearance of impoliteness, un- til the expanders of the wind sail is sufficiently compressed into an oblong to admit of its passage through the narrow doorway—and when an en- trance is effected it is somewhat laughable to witness the movements of gentlemen on the in- side who are troubled with anything like tender- ness about the boot tops, lest the ponderous ar- ticle in its sudden expansion should come in contact with such parts, and if not produce a brui flict at least very painful emotions. A cireumstance of this kind occurred a few days since, which elevated the risibilities of the jumates of the omnibus a little above the mark of money: A lady very fully circumnavigated by the aforesaid crinoline appendages, forced her way into one of the Union line coaches, the pesky articles in their efforts to regain their nsual form were brought in front in contact with the knees of a passenger, which caused the after-leash to make an upward motion, which came very near bringing it in contact with the nose of a yallant Doctor sitting on the seat inthe rear. The Doc- tor by dint of sharp dodging, however, saved his proboscis from damage, and the lady took her seat in perfect composure. But the ir Doctor looked as much non-plussed as an awkward and bashful yours man trying to make his first and | pape bow to his lady love. He blushed from is goatee to the margin of his hair,and the rapid manner in which the color appeared and disap- peared in his face led his fellow passengers to suppose that he was really suffering for want of air For the purpose of preventing all such difficul- ties in the future, we would suggest to the gen- tlemanly proprietor of the Union line to manifest his gallautry by remodeling all his busses, by converting the entire stern or after part into a door, so that all his lady passengers may be saved from so much labor and trouble in getting in and out; and, as an offset to the expense in- curred in making the necessary alterations, regu- late his fare acco:ding to the tity of room occupied by each passenger. ‘Puat is to say. if four pyramids of hoops, as was the case some mornings since, occupy as much room as eight gentlemen, require the hoops to pay one-baif the augregate amount of fare. he Grand Visitation at Mechanics’ Lodge, 1.
