The meeting was called to order by Mr. Burr, ot the firm of Burr, Mattoon & Co., an after a few preparatory remarks, Mr. Hart, the irman of the committee that was appointed at'a previous meet- ing, mace a report, which was in substance as follows:— That they had made strict avd careful examination ipto the affairs of the house, aad ix their opinion, not oy would the holders of ume certificates, but that all creditora would be paid in full all the demands yhey had again:t Page, Bacon & Co. ; that the assets preseut- ed were nearly aufficient to pay all their indebtedness. An important question presented itself to the convide- ration of the committee, as to how far tae obligers on tre bonds were bounden to the certificate holders? It »as the opinion of the committee that they were not bound at all, Betore taking any definite steps in the premises, the committee thought it advisable to have an inter with bir.

As his motive avd wish was to do every- thing that an bonorsble and high minded man could do, and as be was extremely tenacious that his actions abould not in sny way be misrepreeented, either publicly or privately, he wished the committee to submit in wri any and every proposition they had to make to him. Mr. Hart then read the following letter Ban Francisco, May 26, 1855. Mersrr.

Mr. Hart stated thet it would not hold the obligors. Some other unmportant interrogatories were pat and answered, when Mr. TREADWELL addressed the meeting in substance as follows:—He thought taere wes about $400,000 of assets, which were covered with attashments; that Mosers. Naglee and Parrott were the mere agents of Page, Bacon &Co., and that they were not, nor could they be con- etrued as trustees uncer the bond, that instrument being void as sgaipet the obligors. He reiterated and com: mented favorably on the proposition made by Mr. Page, urged on the creditors the necessity and policy of ac cepting it, erpecially ag Mr. Page intended, at-as early a dey a8 practicable, to visit the states with the hope of raising means, within one year, that would be amply sufficient to psy all habil'ties ‘A gentieman inquired, ‘ What evidence havo we (the already creditors) tbat the property in St. Louis was Sie Maan Mr. WELL paid none, but the word of Mr. , After some further remarks, he concluded by advia! all creditors, whether time certificate holders, attaching creditors or otbers, to make concessions, and then, in his opinion, all would be paid. Boviz made some remarks adverse to the propo- sition of Mr, Page. Mr. Kouuvson then addressed the meeting. He stated, that in conversation with Messrs, Naglee and Parrott, thos ntlemen assured bim that they were perfectly willing ond wished to assign their trust to new trustees, ts proposed by Mr. Page, provided the leased and incemnified for any participstion 1) affairs uncer the now existing bond, and that Mr. Naglee said that he would willingly give two thousand dollars to be entirely released from tne business, He called on ‘the creditors ars~mbled to take some action now on the subject of Mr. Page’s letter, and suggested that a com. mitiee of six be sprointed to confer with Mr. Page on the matter He said be had just peen informed that Mr. C. K. Garrison, who was in the room, woald give, as an additional security for the faithful performance of kr, e’a contract, a bond im the sum of (400,000) four hondred thousand dollars, amply secured on un- excumbered real estate; and that the creditors should sppoint one gentl+man, and he (Mr. Garrison) another, who should value esid Property, ‘i order that the bond should be fully binding. At the conclusion, Lod en - man wae greatly spplauded, as was also Mr, Garrison. Mr Doy1e made some remarks in reference to Mr. Garrieon, ehich, after an Sin, were withdrawn. Mr. Rotuyson said he was fully persuaded in his own mind that Mr. =~ meant what was right and honora- ble, and it was bis opinion that if the creditors would accept, and act om Mr. Page’s proposition, that certifi- cates of deposit on that house, of every class, would be worth dollar for dollar‘in less than # month. Mr. Garrison stated that he had had some conversa- tion with Mr. Page, this morning, in reference to the affairs oi their hou+e,and he was fally juaded that Mrs Page hed voluntary Stared to mor quis Bis pro- ir. volun’ o Pro- fg: Red Louis; asan assurance of his confidence e ultimate result, he would himself give a bond in the of $400,600 to the trustees for the faithful per. formance of Mr. Page’s contract, said bond to be secured on real estate that was unincumbered, part in the ci of San Francisco, snd part elsewhere in the State. orcer that the creditors might be amply securej, he pro- posed that they should apooint one gentleman and he snother, who sbould see that the property was of the value of at least $400,000. After some further remarks, the report of the com- mittee was ee orcichae aeini Mr, SELOvmR moved that the attaching creditors, and general creditors, sball now accept the ‘tions: made by Mesers. Pose and Garrison, which was car- med unapimourly, be then moved that & committee of three be appointed to wait on the attaching credi- tors, visitthem personally, and ascertain if they would accept the propositione—which motion was carried.

It appears that cho fire was light ed by the torch of the juceadiary im three places. Tha fire wes first seen bursting from the roof of an occupied tenement in the rear of Porter’s apot! store on Com ove balf ot the buildings on this block were unoccupied, except by vagrants, and the occurrence of a destructive fire in that locality was by no means unexpsctefl ibe row of untenanted and dilapidated three story buildings on Sacramento street, formerly kaown as Stevenson's block, and latterly designated by the title of the vegrepte’ hotel, sbared a deserved fate; hardly & timber of the old reokery escaped the consuming ela- went. Considering the extent of ground over which the fire psssed, the loss is iuccnsiderable. The grouad is certaipls 0? more yaiue in its present condition taan when it was encumbered with untenantable dqel At tbe commencement of the fire the wind was light {rom the northeast, but as the fire became hotter the cole ar rushea in, and the flames were whirlei with grést fury spainst the front of the brick stores on Sa- cramento street, opposite the fire.

It ap- peers from their stetement that they rent one side of the pier, while a rival company, the owners of the Mam- hattan, rent the other, that the latter have ooce- pied a’ portion of the, premises of the former with am office. The Mayor was spplied to, but he refused to ia- terfere in the matter, and last Wednesday the office, which is a emall wooden structure, was upset, One of the parties was discovered and arrested, but released afterwards on procuring bail.
