Pursuant to a call published in the daily papers, a meeting of employés recently discharged from the public steres and navy yard, was hold last evoning at No. 42 Prince street. A recent reduction in the appropriations for those institutions, by which many bave been thrown ‘ovt of employment, is the cause of great discontent. Some f those discharged from the public stores, where they received two dollars a day wages, were appointed in the avy yard at the rate of nino sbillings per day. The ‘Odject of the meeting last night was to take steps towards petitioning Congress for an increase in the appropriations, by which those out of employment may be reinstated, aiid the wages ot those stil employed raised. ‘On motion Mr. Jobn Carpenter was called to the chair, apd Mr. J. Cain actei as Secretary. ‘The following preamble aud resolutions were offered and vnanimousty adopted: — ‘Whereas, the receipts of the government have been such as to require the utmost economy in its expenditures; and whereas, in the exercise of asound discretion, the Sccre- tary of tho Treasury has reduced the expenses at the Pub- Hic Stores in this city over one hundred thousand dollars per apnum; and whereas, Mr. Cob in this arrangement rotected the interest of Lhe employés at the Public Stores, in securing to them tho same rate of wages ax has hereto- fore been paid; and whereas, it is believed to be in ac- cordance with a proper economy to employ the most skil- fu) laborers and to pay therefor remunorative wag a whereas, the rates prid at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn aro Deiow the standard of fair prices, and for which rate of ‘wages #kilfal laborers cannot afiord to work—thercfore, Resolved, That we petition Congress to increase the rate of wages paid atthe Brooklyn Navy Yard, und that the Presicent of this meeting be directed epare & memo~ ial to that effect Resolved, That a copy of said motnorial bo sont to the Secretary of the Navy. ‘The mecting then, on motion, adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. —— City Politics.

Alderman Pxck, in offering the following resolutions, prefaces them with a few appropriate remarks. He the megsage of his Honor the Mayor conveyed wdings which cast a gloom not only over thin Board, butover the whole community. Washington Irving is ho more, and Inerature bas Jost a brilipt star, whilst America must mourn one of ber most accomplished and fascinating authors. Washington irving was not only an American, but a son of New York—a Knickerbocker—a man of rare talents, such a8 we May not witness Fs fame and name are not local—tuey are kvown not only in America, but in the must remot parts of the world where Englisn hiterature is known and appreciated. When yesterday he (Alderman Peck) had heard that Washington Irving was no more, it impressed him with the htiences of earthly things. Wheu agreat man dies the country mourns; and who could leave us greater than he in Lt:srature? He is gone to the mansions above, where he shall no more know the sorrows and troubles of this world. In conclu- gion, Alderman Peck offered the following resolutions, and moved their adoption :— Whereas, his Honor the Mayor has official'y communicated to the Board the melancholy inteliigence of the decease of ove of New York's most illustrious the Hon.

A special meeting of the Board of Councilmen was held yesterdny afternoon, for the purpose of taking suitable ac- tion on the death of Washington Irving. Although there was nota quorum present when the roll was called, the President stated that the nature of the duties was euch that he presumod it was not absolutely necessary to wait for @ quorum. ‘The Reaver thon proceeded to read the Mayor’s com- munication, which will be found in our report of the pro- ceedings of the Board of Aldermen. Mr, Fraxkux J. Orzarsoy offered the following resoki- tion:— Whereas, the Common Council have learned with great re- gret of the deiise of the Hon Washington Irving, the eminent american Ivstorian and diplomatist, which occurred on the evening of the 2eth instant, at his residence, Sunnyside, at Irvington, New York; and ‘whereas it is eminently proper that the Common Council should eabibit, in a oecomiog man- ber, lis respect for the memory and virtues of the iijustrions Geaa—theresore, hesolved, That the rembers of the Common Counct! attend Hecemier {atone o'clock Fh, and wear Ue voual baage st rege . At one o'clock I, M., mouring fer thirty days. ater ne And in doing so he spoke as follows:— It is of course quite unnecessary for me to attempt t add one word to the mingled expressions of sorrow and culogy with which the sad announcement that has called us together has been received. The press hus this. morn ing tpread before a sorrowing world tho death and th: leading events in the life of America’s greatest literary kon, His name and his fume are cosmopolitan; but as he wos a true son of New York, it is fitting that the corporate authority of bis native city should show some distmyuish- ing mak of thew regard upon this sad occasion. How truly be loved the city of his notivity, his own words cau most Bttingly express. In 1882, Mr. Irving returnedlaome after au abrence Ot sevenwen years, spent in the leading capitals of Europe. ‘The dawning honors which he bore away with him bad ri jed, and he came back in the fullness of his glory. w York welcomed bim with one voice.

Paulding, and many of our great men now living, Mr. Irving was warmly welcomed by Chanccilor Kent, and ju reply, paid tho tribute of a gon to the city of his birth, in the following eloquent words:— “As to my native city, from {the timo I approacty the coast Thad indications of ite growing greatness, We had scarce descried the land, when a thousand éuils of alt descriptions gleaming along tho horizon, and all standing to or trom one point, showed that we were in the neigh: dorhood of ® Vast commercial emporium.

About half past five o’clock on Wednesday morning, ® Morris and Kssex passenger and freight train was run into at the Grove street crossing in Jorsey City by a New York and Frie freight train, which resulted in considera- dle damage, but fortunately no person was injured.

The engineer of the Erie train, upon seeing the danger abead, blew down the breaks, but they then too near to avoid a coliision. The locomotive struck the passenger car with tremendnous fore, crush ihg it in, smashing up the two freight cars in front of it anit scattermg about the freight. The Erie locomotive was thrown from the track, and before it could be stopped knocked over the switch house and a telegraph pole.
