There might have been botwoen three and four hundred persons present. Bofore the meeting was opened the Rov. C. J. Warren read and called for signatures to the following :— MEMORIAL. ‘Yo the Honorable the Aldermen and Conrneflmen, Com- missioners of Excise for the Twentieth Ward: The subscribers, in behalf of themselves and their fel- low citizens of this ward, respectfully petition your hon- crable board to refuse all applications that may be made to you for license to engage in the sale of wines, spiritu- oun liquors, or sther intoxioating drinks, in this ward, ‘We ask you to do thig hecauso the sule uf. intoxicating ariukalen wrong and wicked business, that oughe not to be encouraged; because that traffic {s exceedihgly inju- rilue {3 the public, as well as destructive to all the dear- ee(8 sud enjoy ments of persons and families; and because the worst evils of intomperance are liable to result at any moment from the sale of liquor, under the severest regulations and restrictions of tha law. mnversant as Fags ‘are wilh legal dec! for us to remind yoa that the Sapr State has, in various cases; decided that, whils you have unlimited authority to license the ala of Mquor, you havo also unlimited authority to withNold license ‘from every sppheant, yet we moy remind you that, in our apprehension, your stern duty as Aldermen and Council- men overrides your prerogaitve as Excise Commissioners, and demands that you accode to our request, in order to Preserve the public peace, promote public morals, pro: feet the people in the enjoyment of thelr right, and save them from the drunkenness, suffering, taxation, and crime; caused by the dram shops and drinking Ot. how Should you, however, deem it expediont to hear this prayer in’its fullest extent, we would then ask that you will conform your action’ strictly to the intent and meaning of the resolution on this subject, that was adopted by a mejority of three to one in both Boards of the Common Connell, and was cordially approved by the Mayor. We trust that if you give any licenses for the sale of liquor, you will license no tavern except it shall be made to appear to you, by evidence presented, that the necessitivs of travellers demand a tavern af that particular place; and as the law specially provides that taverns may be licensed with all possible privileges acd responsibilities, without liberty to sell Uquor, we hope, if you license any taverns, they will be of this class only, We hope, algo, that if you think it beat to Hicerse any. persona to sell by retail you will, aa the ap: pointed and official conservators of the public weal, con- fine that salo to a very few persons, and they of the most relicble class; ond that uch perdons be distinctly in- formed that the license they receive uttorly forbids the sale of any liquors to bo drank on their premises. After numerous gentlemen had come forward and signed the foregoing memorial, the meeling was called to order ateighto’elock, by the comination ef Ouvsr H Lxx for President, which was unanimously agreed to. ‘The following gentlemen were then nominated as Vice Presidents:—George T. Leach, Henry McLean, John F. MeLean, Lambert 3. Beack, Thomas Haight, Wilmot Oak- ley, Thos. Thanson, J. P. Ostrom, Daniel H. Smith, Goo R. Stewart, Jos. T.

After prayer had been offered by the Rey, Mr. Nelson, The Preewexr came forward and said, that it was an enviable honor for him to preside over the orderly meet- ings of the Twentieth ward. This mas not a political meeting, but people came, drawn ther by maiters affecting their dearest rights and intorests—intereata which bind man to msn and man to his Maker, They met together to give expression to their opinions as to the indiscriminate licensing of public eeahore. He need only refer to the condition of the city in which wae rioting, murder and midnight broils. The city was uneafe, and the difficulty seemed to be increasing. “Tnere ise prospect now that the evil can be curbed, and it be- comes us, who are interested in the welfare of society, to look for the beat mode of liberating our ward from this slavery.. We want to caution lquor sellers in this ward that they sell liquor at their per not only in ceflance of human rig! but in defiance of law. Are cursed by the out-belchings of of ruin? This granting of licences is a point on which we cannot be too radical. If it is right to grant one li- cence, it is right to grant a thousand, and if it is wrong to grant @ thousand it is wrong to grant one. (Ap- plause.) He, the speaker, would not detain thom any longer, but as a citizen of the interested in its growth, aa all present were, he doubted not that all had come together with the view of making some impression by their expressed will on the Excise Commissioners. (Applause. ) The following resolutions were then offered and unani- mously adopted amid loud cheering :— Resolved, That the sale of intoxicating drinks in gro. ceries, provision stores, and other places where children and female domestics are often roy to make family pur- chases, is a most fruitful source of many of the worat evils of intemperance; and under no circumstances ought such liquor to be kept for sale in auch places. Resolved, Thet, as the sale of liquor in richly far- nisbed saloons, restaurants, and other popular places of resort in this city, has led man; th Ns nda of sober and yirtaows young men into # ol mM perance as yo oe bed ihemvfor we rapid ewe its tna loweat "eed of this ice, no suc! 4 ought a Tegal license, pecvected and aided in their'work of th; and to give such places a tavern license, when {t is pre- sumed that their main business is to furnish a more drinking house for city residents, and not to Tost and refreshment for wei travelers, is a most maoi- fest breach of trust om the part of the Excise Com- missioners, if not, Indeed, a violation of the statute. Rerolved, That, s6 the exhibition and common sale of verious kinds of intoxicating drinks, in hotels and taverns, {sa strong temptation to mauy travellera who fecl less restraints abroad than they would near their own bomes, and as the law provides for public houses of entertainment, without perty. te ell liquor, and as the” sale of Hquor in such places has often produced some of. the most disastrous Is of intemperance, there can be no reason why any hotel or tavern should be Il consed to sell intoxicating drinks in this city. Resolyed, That alih the sale of intoxicating l- t Ag be carried away and not drank upon 6 premises, is sometimes conducted with so much care that the common evils of int do not ty tae Tay aap the ae ba — ay oi = fully justified jecting s for sucl poe in takicion all ook altioray ought most cor scquieace. Resolved, That the ge ge ned of the Aldermen and Councilmén of the Nini Sixteenth wards, and of several Couneflmen sign no licenses Twentieth ward, will follow them our approbation aad our firm support, and to all the magistrates and executive or officers of the eity our steady co-operation in all lawful measures for the prompt enforcement of the law. Resolved, That the action of the citizens of the Ninth Ward, in taking measures for the full and prompt en- forcement of existing laws for the suppression of the il- legs] tale of intoxioating drinks, entitles them to the gratitude and rendy co-operation of their fellow-cltizens, who may well be incited to follow this noble example, And whereas, It is understood that the present Mayor of thir city has said publicly, in the Mayor's office, that ‘if he were a rvm-seller, and the Excise-board would not give bim a license, he would sell without @ license, and in epite of them,’ and that ‘every man has as gooda solved, That euch conduct of the Mayor—such lan- 6, #o unbecoming A magistra‘é, and so unworthy of | Aman, no contrary to law, #0 subversive of the peace and good order of socfoty, and no directly fitted to urge un- principled men to the commission of crime—desorves th ‘that the New AL MORNING EDITION—TD_ESDAY, JUNE 13, 1854, ‘York Ci secure the indictencat of those Excise Commissioners who have issued Heenses con’ to law, and to test the valloliy of the ‘Heenses ¢hus Ny ‘given; and we to the City Alliance; our sympathy, our co-opera: niary offerings to whatever oxtent ig! on jon, and our thelr neocasities may require, never be ea: , nor cease our lavory, ti this Stato sball be br ala the Maine law, nor till. by the ald of Of intecnpecanoe shall ba silarie besitos frome the ol in from the State, the nation, and the world. ¥ Hon. Caamas ©. sald It was the slightest notice be over hed to edirese agongregation. He had no ideo, when Cane evening Cee Buc s ing as was there. on eoourity tise resolutions o would be put iate enfoution. People had remonstzaiod for years, ond their remonstranees were heard by the liquor dealers, and had the benefit of chasing away the good, the wise, and the American almoat toa (Cheers.) "And who gue they have: taken their places? Read their mames them, for he (the as ife foreivn army trvction over the country, He was glad to see strong friends of temperance on the platform. He rejoice in the glorious numbers that were coming over in favor of temperance. In conclusion, he ssid it was one thing to come here and pass resolutions and another thing to car- ry them into execution. It was noceasary in every ward that » fund should be raised at once under the charzo of some one whose duty tt would be to look after it. e Hon.

Woe have tried how many grog sbops we can ‘support; now, why should we net try the reverse? What is it men do when: they license grog shops? You are a mechanical, laboring peop'e—a young community, and what effeet has this upon you? What effect has it upon the Sabbath? The Sabbai the laboring man’s day of rest, and though the li- cense states distinctly that the grog shop shall not be kept open on that day, yet the seller means to break this condition the moment he takes it out. This is enough for its condemnation. The people then do not go to church, or send their children to Sunday achool, because the rum shop keepa them away. Now as to the food question, we know that it is dear, and the reason is that to much of the products of the country are consumod in intoxicating drinks. This is a questicn which touches us all, for the man who does not drink has to pay dear for his food, and suffers for the ¢ t uae of intoxicnt- ing Hquorsin others. Mr Greeley thon reviowed the pauper establisments; criminal courts, and hospitals, the filling of which, he said, arose frour the quantity of Grinking Hcenses. He argued well for the Aldermen and Councilmen of the Twentieth ward, because they wore elected ag roformers, {reo from Fle partizanship. ‘This word was nota place for hotels, and therefore there was no ground for a tavern license in it, Tho least, thon, that the aldermen could do, wes to refuse to grant w tavern license when there was no tavern within the ward. Apart from the question of temperance, as law-abiding men they onght to do this. As to the lcense granted to grocers, he maintained that the grocers would ‘be able to sell more, if their ram licenses were taken away from them, because the people would have more money to buy with, There was only one class interested in the rum traffic, and that was a part of the sollors. Bateven the great part of them go down to the grave poor. He felt seeply on the question, and beseeched the audience not to leave without signing the memorixl to the aldermen above to. He believed that temperance men Would carry the State thia fall. (Cheers.) Let tho traf- fic be moppes in the Twenticth ward, and it would be an argument in favor of temperance which all could re- cognize. The spenker sat down amid great applause. ‘Tur Rev. C. J. Waren was the next speaker. It was cheering, he said, and encouraging to be preeent in this meeting. The Governor put his veto on the temperance Dill, passed by two thirds of the Legislature, but by this he bas waked: up the wrong paseenger. Licenses were lately granted inthe Fourth ward, and we to test their validity, and if one is broken all are Broken. (Applause) ‘ihe'meeting this evening was to cheer up One another. There isa epirit abroad which will not sleepwhile the rum monster is prowling about. The speaker here commented upon the four different classes for which liquor licenses were wanted, and which will be found embodied in the resolutions, and conclated hails speeeb with adducing arguments in favor of abolishiog ihe vending of liquor altogether, After rome appropriate remarks from Coron: Sxow the meeting separated. 5 Gur Baltimore Correspondence. Bavrmorg, June 10,1854. Gatherings m the City—The German Musical So- ciety—Maryland Editors in Council— Military Parades— Meetings Approaching—Sporting Intel- ligence, §c. The week ending to-day has been one marked with peculiar and stirring interest in our city. Our hos- pitality and hotel accommodations have been taxed pretty closely. The first notable matter was the i: § flux of German singing societies from various locali- ties, New York among the number. They began to arrive on Saturday last, and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday they were in the full tide of success. It is agreeable to say that all their operations passed off without a single incident giving reason for trou- ble or harsh thoughts. The next notable affair was a meeting of the Maryland editors, which was rather a poor affair. Anumber were present, but they did nothing but appoint a committee to instruct them what to do, andthe meeting adjourned to the first Wednesday in October next. On Monday last, our city military paraded, being the regular law turn out. They exhibited them- selves in great strength, being superior in appear- ance and numbers to ee which has been wit- nessed for a number of years. One reason for the display may be found in the fact that the city gives two hundred dollars per annum to each fully’ organ- ized company. This will go a considerable way towards paying expenses. The Maryland Horticultural Society also this week held its semi-annual exhibition, and it 1s doubted whether there ever was in the United States its equal, whether in plavts, vegetables, or seasonable fruits. The plants were appreciated for their rarity and beauty, and their general healthy appearance; while the vegetables and fruits could scarcely be surpassed anywhere, The strawberries were par- ticulafy fine. The immense hall of the Maryland Le age ‘was literally filled with articles for exhibi- tion. The great feature of the week, however, has been the races. It has been some ten years since we have had anything here which could be called racing. James B. Kendall had a course at Canton about that time; but since he left, a race between running horses bas almost become a novelty. Wo have had & course about four miles from the city, known as the Herring Run Course, but it has been almost exclusively devoted to trotting horses. This spring, some Sout Bayden and including §. J. Carter, Eeq., Col. Boyden, and others, determinod to test ticability of a revival of the sports of the turf in this region, ond for the time being they se- lected the course at Herring Ran as the place for running.

Ne all of the horses left our city to-day for New York, to be on hond at the races to take place in that vicinity the ensuing week. ° A match which will excite a great deal of inter- est was made here to-day. It was the acceptance of the challenge of Mr. Ten Broeck to run one of his horses, either Lexington or Arrow, between the Ist and 16th of April next, against time—7:2¢—for four miles, puree $10,000. The forfeit is $2,500, Col. Calvin Green and Capt. John Belcher are parties to the acceptance.

Arriving here, every thing was found’ very quiet in compzrison with the expectations which tite report bad given rise to, Bolum. ing through State street, the pehoo, about #hirty-fivo in number, were sot upon by the mob, two or thres hundred strong, who commenced throwing stones ant firing pistols, The mob was immediately charged vpon by the police, who, also, used pintels in dispersing them, and who succeeded in driving thers from their ground and fn arresting the person throwing the stone that injured policemaa W.

Our informant denies the statemont mado yosteriay that, ‘on one occasion about twenty-five of the assistant sheriffs had one of the rioters under arrgd& but the nam- bers of the latter being swelled to thre@ ot four thousa: d, and making a rush upon the poliae to reseue the pri. soners, the officers of the law clubbed the unfortunate individual—who fell senselesa on the sidewalk—and took to their heels, leaving their hands of his friends.” He says that no clubbing of the kind ‘took place. He also denies that « just as the party arrived inside the gates, ton beard the ferry boat, a shower of stones and other missiles were directed at 60 on board the ferry boat, but without any visible elfect whatever. Tho police | now thinking it was high time for them to interfere, endeavored to make some arrests; but, owing to their inferior numbers at (hia point, their efforis were en- tiely useless, for just as fast as one man wi rested he succeeded in making good his excape, by strategem or by his being rescued by his fricads around him, The clubs not seeming to bave much ef. fect in putting a stop to the riot, about fifteen or twonty shots were fired by the Deputy Sheriff's into the crowd, but which appeared to have little or no offect in sub: sloing the tumult, as a well directed volley of stones was fired upon the heads of the officers in return, which fora few moments threw the police force into confusion. Two of their men were knocked down by being struck on the head with stones, and this is what originated the report of two Deputy Shoriffs being shot, as word to that effect was brought to tho City Hall.” He says, in regard to the disturbance here alluded to— There were only three arrested, and tose were the men above alluded to, who were taken into custody for threatening to jerk Orr out of the carriage. He says that too much credit cannot be awarded to Capt.

The Susquehanna comes down, tobe at tho dis- posal of our new Commissioner, Mr. McLane. She will proceed to Macao on Wednesday, to take him to Canton, and at the end of the month he will pre ceed in her to Shangbac. We hayo nothing important from the north; but as spring has set in, we may goon look for impor- tant newe from the insurgent army. Commodore Verry will not return until he sar. veys ports suitable for commercein Japan. Wemay expect him in about two months. [From the Friend of China, April 3. The return to Hong Kong yesterday of the United States steamship Susquehanna, Capt. Buchanan, has placed us in possession of a few more partion lars of the United States and Ruasian expeditions to Japan. The American ficet, it will be remember left this harbor on the morning of the 14th of Janu- ary last. On the 7th of February the steamers loft Loo Choo, the sailing vessels having left that place about a week before. On the 12th the Susquehan- na, bearing the flag of Commodore Perry, anchored ina bay a little to the south of Jeddo, whore she found the frigates Macedonian and Vandalia, and the storeship Lexington in sight, beating in. (The Southampton storeship was afterwards found te have arrived in the bay of Jeddo on the samo day.) The Macedonian had Art ona reef, but a tug from one of the steamers—all three of which arrived to- gether—placed her in deep water the same after- noon. She is not supposed to bave received any material fnjory, : On the 15th February the steam frigates 8: hanna, Miss issippi, and Powhatan, ak the Mace. donian, Vandalia, and Lexington in tow, steamed, up to within twenty miles of Jeddo, bringing up im «place which, on the previous visit, was designated the “American Anchorage.” The while of the nrrounding country, including a high volcanic called Pudsi Jamma, was found covered with snows the thermometer was down to 30 deg., and water: froze on the decks, On the 18th February Commodore Perry his flag to the Powhatan, on board of which vessel negotiations commenced; the Vandalia to Uraga, where it was intended an interview be- tween the respective Commissioners should take place. A succession of gales prevented the veasela from proceeding furthor up the bay until the 24th, on which day the squadron got under weigh and ram. up off a large town called Kanagawa, from twelve to fifteen miles from Jeddo by water—nine only by nd. The houses of Jeddo were plainly eno visible fromthe mast heads, and boats from squadron sounded up to within three miles of the wharves. The Vandalia’s visit to Uraga was rene dered unuecessary; it being determined, in her absence, to have the council house erected at @ email fishing village called Yokohama, not far from the town off whica the squadron had anchored. On the Ist of March, His Excellency Yeizai: Deputy Governor of Uraga, and some other high fiers, were entertained on board the Susquehanna, The bearing of these officials is said to have beem frank and friendly in the extreme. Toasts were drank and speeches made, interpretation being ren- | dered by means of intermediate Dutch; and by all that could be ascertained from the tempor of the guests, there was every reason to believo that the reply of the Emperor of Japan to the letter from the President of the United States, would be as favora- ble as might reasonably be expected. At first it was understood that the report circulated by the tussians of the death of the Emperor, was altogether without foundation. From subsequent enquiry, however, the report was found to be true; though no attempt was made to postpone negotiations on mor tuary account, asthe Russians asserted would be the case—an excuse there is some reason to believe had effect so faras they (the Russians) were concern- ed—the Japanese denying most positively that amy treaty had len made with them.

From the size of the building prepared to receive theve presents, the Japanese appeared to have Sxperted a bulkier, if not a more valuable assortment.
