Important Meeting ef Dealers in Drugs. ALMAITATION OF CREDIT FROM SIX TO FOUR MONTHS RECOMMENDED, AND A RESOLUTION TO THAT BF- FECT PASKED—VIKWS OF MANY OF THE DEALERS. Ba accordance with a call fore general meeting of the amporters and jobbers in drugs, dye stuffs, &e., of this ity, issued » few days since, by many of the leading dealers, a mocting was held at the auction salesroom of ‘Mecere, Gerard & Betts, 106 Wall street, yesterday, at 11 e’clock A. M., for the purpose of taking into consideration ‘and discussing the propriety of recommending @ decrease im the credit system among the importers and jobbers en- gaged in this branch of business, Shortly after 11 o'clock some seventy five or one hundred gentlemen bad assem- died, representing various interests and branches of the trade. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Rackna- ‘eur, of the firm of Recknagle and Schwab, 46 Cedar street, who nominated Mr. H. B. Mmmkick, of the firm of Messrs. ‘Haskell, Merrick & Bull, No, 44 Cedar street, as Chairman, and Mr. Myers, of the firm of Myere & Dean, im Jaberty street, as Secretary. The Chairman, on taking his seat, riety returned thanks for the honor conferred on him, and then called on Mr. Recknagle to explain the objects for ‘which the meeting had been called. Mr. REckNAGLE accordingly proceeded to state that the ‘meeting had been called in order that an open and fair ex- pression of the views of those engaged in the drug busi- ness might be had with respect to the propriety and fea- sibility, at the present time, of recommending a shorten- ing of the credit system from six months to any other pe- riod which might be thought proper by a majority of he persons engaged in the business. The immediate ob- ‘ect of the call for the meeting at the present time was mainly attributable to the severe financial and commercial crisis through which the country had just passed, and which had not yet quite spent ite fury. He thought that if the busigess of this country had been on a cash basis, wstead of the credit fy ane the merehants throughout ‘tbe country would not have guffered half as much as they ‘have done, nor would there have been half the anxiety on ‘their minds as there had beeo during the two or three last ‘months. As it was at present, most of the dealers seck to ‘Duy on credit alone, which renders business much worse for the importers than it would otherwise be; but the im- porters. of course, did not suffer as much from this evil ‘@ the jobbers did, as they in dearly every case well their goods to the jobber for city paper, but the job- ‘bere who deal with countrymerchants are in turn com: pelied, under the present system, to sell their goods in turn for country paper, which they were pg ne com: ied through necessity to renew at maturity. He ht Giar the present was, therefore, the proper Ume to effect ‘an improvement so ardently desired among al) classes* of dealers in the city, if atany time. They all knew that the business of the jobber will not sustain him unless he can procure his returns in time to meet bis own engage- ments; consequently they were often obliged w resort to ‘other means in order to meet them, unless they were able to procure an extension of time on their paper. Especially ‘was that the case in times like the present. I have no doubt there were some who did not sutter as much as their neighbors in consequence of this system, and there were, he was sorry to say, some gentlemen who were of ‘opinion that this object could not be carried ont; but he ‘thought it rather surprising that they could for a moment ‘think 20, for all could not help but know that there were many difficulties, losses and disadvantages arising from a long credit system, which could not be the case, to any considerable extent, if that system were reduced’ to hort perkad—say four instead of six months; who is able to procure a long credit is much more apt to Duy up a larger amount of goods ata time than he really ‘wants, or would, were he confined to a short period to meet his engagements; and hence most invariably he would be more prompt with his payments. It therefore struck him very forcibly that there ought to be some re- ‘duction in the credit eystem. It could not be necessary to evtablich. or aitempt to establish,a cash basis, but he Bhought that the country was now able tw pay on shorter credits and with much more regularity than it had hereto- fore: for whereas it had once been comparatively poor and thinly settled, it had now increased in both wealth and population, 0 that at the present time it-was one of, if Bot the wealthiest country in the world; and if there ever ‘was a time when it was prepared to establish acash basic, it cerjainly was the present. He was aware, also, that the great majority of the jobbers, as, in fact, of ‘the importers and wholesale dealers in the city, were in favor of much mhorter credits, if st could be brought about and carried ‘out. There were some who urge that the Western dealer ‘will not be able to buy on four months, because it takes so Dong & time§ for the goods to reach their destination afier they are purchased in New York; that a shorter time than Six months would ruin them: but he thought that a man Kiving a long distance away from the city bad no more right to demand long credits than any other Perron. It rested with them to make their engagements @ accordance with the distance they lived from this city; and he, for one, did not see why they should be allowed more privileges than near by customers. Buyers from a distance were the ones to test the means to pay for the external loss of time in transporting their goods. If a New York dealer went to Europe to buy anything, the dealer there will not entertain for a moment any sugges. tion or plea from him to make an allowance of time in which to meet bis engagements and pay for the goods, ta conseqnence of the long distance they had to be trans. yrted before they became available to the purchaser; and did not see why they, as New York merchants, should make a difference of time for Western merchants. He thought, therefore, if vent to work at ». the pre- sent Limes Would greatly AIK orrrying out the Projected improvement, and if they would’ themselves take the matter earnestly in hand, the jobbers and dealers ‘would asset (hem ip carrying it out; for he conceded that it was more the interest and duty of the jobbers and dealers than it was of the importers, for they most Iy sell their goods to the jobbers, and the job- Bere to the dealers, and hence are much more liable to loss than the importers. The Chairman said, a# be understood the call of the meeting, it was not the ‘intention of the signers of the call to come to any agreement or to sign any paper, or in any manner pledge themselves to apy particular course of action, but simply ‘Wo get the dealers togetber that they might bave a fair in- ferchange of opinion ou the question, aud come to some conclusion as to What course it would be best for them to pursue.

KIRE. ‘A general meeting of all persons friendly to the estab- lishment of a chapel in Paris for the benefit of American citizens visiting or temporarily residing in that great city, was held last evening in the Mercer street Presbyterian Church. The occasion was one of unusual interest, as it was known that Rey. Dr. Kirk, who has recently returned from Paris, would be present, and would communicate some interesting information especting the commence- ment, progress, §present condition and pros- pects of the work, and also of the religious condition of Central and Southern Europe. The church was crowded, and the proceedings were listened to with the deepest attention. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Bangs, of the Methodist church; after which Rev. Dr. Kirk was introduced, and addressed the andience substantially a8 followe:—It was, he said, pecu- liarly pleasing and gratifying to know that the Scriptures were more generally read throughout France than for- merly. The influence of evangelical religion was rapidly extending, and a day of hope was dawning on the French people. Yet, with all this influence, with all this extension of evangeliea! religion, it was much to be deplored that in many instances it was difficult to prevent the trades people from working on the Sabbath. was found to be the case in regard tw the erection of a church, the men insisting upon being employed on Sunday. The difficulty, bowever, was met atlast and remedied—the men were paid for ceasing from labor on that day. It was, in fact, found almost impossible to impress the French populace with an idea of the sanctity of the Sabbath. Yet they wen a fine penple, frank, simple, kind hearted, and where under the influence of true religion, they were almost everything that could be desired. Thus much for the evangelization process among them, and now for the establishment of a church for Americans in Paris. The idea of erecting such an edifice originated with the speaker im 1830, but he was at first in doubt as to whether his feld of labor lay in that city or in America. He was uot long, however, in deciding that the interests of religion demanded his exertions and energy in Paris, and under that conviction he entered upon the work there. He had ascertained that the num- ber of American visiters and residents in that capital was largely increasing, and of the latter no less than two hun- dred and fifty were students. In view of these facts he considered himself not only justified but bound by his religious obligations to prosecute the work in which he had engaged. regretted, however, to say that his efforts were met with coldness and discouragement by those who should have co-operated with him. He endea- vored to arouse the religious feeling and respect of the Americans in Paris, and although he had succeeded yet the first he met threw cold water on his endeavors. On conversing with Americans upon the subject he was di rected to Dr. Evans, whe he was told had an interest in a church which might suit his purposes. The church was originally the property of Dr. Luscombe, by whom it had been erected and who was desirous-of connecting it with the British embassy, The building was some time after presvnted for sale, and Dr. Evans offered to purchase it, British portion of the community were opposed to ‘the dusposal of it in this manner, on the ground that it was the property of the British government. Under these cir cumstances it was impossible at the time to arrive at any conclusion, at least until the arrival of the speaker (Dr. Kirk) m Paris. On his reaching that he had an inter. view with Lord Cowley, who informed him of the state of feeling on the subject entertained by the British commu nity. Lord Cowley expressed his belief that it was the property of his goverument, and that the right of the "test tenons, was merely nominal. The building, which is situated in the Rue d’Aguerseau, was nspected by Dr. Kirk, whose impression was rather un- favorable regarding it. The building and the jocaluy were not of that description which he could have desired. He learned that it would require some thousands of dollars for repairs. Further consideration of the matter deter mined him on selecting another locality and on buildin pew edifice. The site selected for the purpose is in the Rne de Berry, near to the Barriere d’Etoile. It was pur- chased from a lady, with whom he had some difficulty in making a bargain, because of ber demand for pin money, independent of the price demanded for the ground. How- ever, the land wax obtained without the pin money, The site had been obtained, but the money was now re- quired for the erection of @ suitable edifice. In this diffleulty & pledge was obtained from the American churches for $15,000, and with this amount the architect agreed to mmence the work. He was met by another difficulty at this stage of the enterprise—he was informed that for eigh congregauions could not own churches in France, and that even the Catholic churches ia that country were owned by the government. On due consideration lie resolved on owning the church himeelf, although, in accordance with the laws of France on the subject, the sum of $4,800 would be due to the government at his decease, while the same amount should be paid at the death of each of his success. ors. This was fixedly the code of Napoleon. For the purpose of meeting this diffieulty be had insured his life for $4,600 all of which had been devoted to the paymentof the debt when it ehould become due. At the time the speaker left Paris, the building was nearly finished, and it promised w be handsome edifice, and well adapted to the purpose. He was informed by a letter from ane of its members that a permanent minister has not been decided on. Mr. Hall officiates now. For the completion of the edifice he aaked the assistance of all good Christians, and he felt that be would not make the appeal in vain to Americans. ‘The meeting was next addressed by Rev. Mr. Tyxa, of Philadelphia, who presented a resolution in favor of taking up a collection for the benefit of the work. The resolutian Was adopted, after which the following were read and also adopted — Resolved, That the establishment in Paris, by the American and Foreign Christian Union, of an American chapel, with an evangelical pastor, devoted to the moral and religious instruction and spiritual welfare of Ameri cans, i# ap object which has long been needed and ardent ly desired by great numbers o American citizens of va.

Hesvived, That ax in the chapel service no distinctive denominational forms of worship have any undue pre eminence, but the easential features of the forms and the fundamental doctrines adopted by the reformed churches in general are retained and used, so that all evangelical Christians can therein unite in worshipping the God of their fathers, ond substantially inthe way they worshiped, there ix a strom inducement to all American citizens to encourage the establishment and support of that chapel and its service, which is alike illustrative of the essential upity of ali evangelical denominations and honorable to the religious character of the American le Resolved.

Charles Mackay, L.L.D., the celebrated English song writer, delivered the fret of a course of three lectures before the Merchants’ and Clerks’ Livrary Association, at ‘Mozart Hall, Broadway, last evening. The subject of the course is the “National Popular and Historical Ballads of ‘England, Ireland and Scotland.”” The lecture of last night was merely introductory, and did not treat upon the songs peculiar to any one nation. The other lectures in the course will be delivered respectively on Monday and Thursday next, the 7th and 10th of December. The audience last night was large, and seemed to appreciate the lecture keenly. Mr. Mackay is not very attractive either in ap- pearance or manner, He is a small man, with @ good- natured but not remarkably intellectual countenance. His style of delivery is rather monotonous in tone, ‘though distinct and somewhat impressive. He was intro- duced to the audience by Richard Burlew, Esq., President of the Association, and was very warmly received. On the platform we observed Benjamin J.

A similar diversity is to be found in poets and song. Plato said vital troth than is element of that poetry came nearer to tory itself.

The lecturer ridiculed mere verse and rhyme, so often called poetry, which had no more music in it than the ticking of a clock or the rattling of a car, and no more soul than the twitter of a cose. Tom Hood went bey: riaps, and said that poetry was divided into three parts— prose, verse, and worse. Jerrold said thft all which was Leigh Hunt's definition of poetr: Was—a passion for truth and beauty combined. In ail great poets imagination and fancy, which differed essen- tially, were found combined. Men who unite fancy and imagination with an appreciation anda love of truth— whether they write plays i“ Shakespere, allego- 0 ee or the the gramma- Milton ; Burns, ballads: like were treasures to the nation that possessed them. The objects of poetry were to teach and to reform; to inspire the hum: ble with dignity and the desponding with hope; to fill 1] men with a love of God and one another; to convert i into good, good into better, for time and eternity. When we found a man who gaid he did not understand poetry, we might assume that he was deficient in intellect or education; or a man who said that he did not like poetry, we might put him down as a hard, unfeeling man, whose esteem was confined to that small piece of clay Let the ladies beware of him, for though he may be very kind before marriage ho In defining the distinc he would say that e public heart; people who toiled for bread may know Homer, Virgil and Dante by their immortal names, but know nothing of their works. Song is the most intimate expression of human feeling. It comes to the people in the field, the smithy and by the It diminishes their griefs ‘and teaches them the nobility of labor and the dignity of man. the cottage maid and the poor man’s wife as the queen on the throne. There is no period so remote that songs were not known, whether among the Jews, Greeks, Romans, Gauls Song was the elder sister of The ancient song writers sang to their own music, as for instance Miriam, Homer, Pindar, Sappho; the Minnesingers of Germany, the Troubadours and Bards in later years men wrote songs never be sung unless a different measure was adopted for every stanza. Singers in the dancing room and on the stage seemed to emulate each other in disguising the lan guage in which they sang, so that you cannot tell whether Cherokee. Some people thought it was very easy to make a somg, but he wished they fas acommon thing to say, “As et there were some ol; which were priceless to the Anglo-Saxon race, who rejoiced in “ Rule Britannia,” “Hail Columbia,” and “Yankee The lecturer alluded to Burns’ song of “A Man ’s @ Man for a’ that’” as establishing all over the world the value of an honest man and a gentleman. George the Fourth, who was called the first gentleman in Europe, once said that it was better to be a gentleman and no king than a king and no gentleman. that sentiment from his people and they learned it from ers —from Shakspere, Sweet Home,” try Tt is as free wo that could songs le learned ‘uly was The words were Americati, the song was English, being introduced into an opera by Sir Henry Bishop; but the music was Italian, the com position of an old Sicilian, He alluded to the song of “Lil libullero,” which it was boasted by Duke Wharton had driven James II. from his throne, and the song of the Cor And shall Trelany die? —as evidences of the power of song in political affairs. He dwelt at considerable length on the influence of Beranger, who was the terror of the elder Napoleon and Louis XVIM., and at whose funeral Louis 2,000 men, for fear that the people would be mspired to demand the rights of which he robbed them. ‘apoleon ordered out louis Na poleon dared to break his oath, and trample on the rights of thirty millions of people, but he dared not risk the burial of an old song writer without calling out his guards and Zouaves: poor son| r ceived with much applanse.
