The mect- dng comprised # large number of proprietors, wagonors and dealers of various kinds, ail of whom were men of in their determination to wage reientiess war against the intolerable monopoly known ak the Weehaween ferry. Nicholas Lille was the Orst witness, and testified that the boat now running on the ferry is totally untit to be the temporary babitation of any buman being; that it sources, and property depreciated in value; that tho gentlemen's cabi and the bum cents, being ¢ nore than the fare of bis quadrupedal frienie—(laughier|—with whom he must hold tempo- rary companionship: that all compiaints mado by pns- sengers are treated with unqualified conternpt, and that ngers are driven to the last resource, and mast ap- peal to the law-making power, finding all other appealr disregarded Otto Kohler recited a long tale of grievances, among which he stated that on one cecasion an ox fell ‘into the engine room, displacing a portion of the machinery, so that the engineer conld not stop the boat when required, and it rao Into the slip with a crash, throwing every passenger who wns standing oif his feet, and smashing & portion of ihe slip; the ox was taken to New York and sold as good beef; on another orcasion the engineer went on @ spree, from which he returned to tho boat in a very somnolent condition; the bell rang, but the engineer was aslecp, and did not hear it; the result was another crash; the original charter compeis the company to charge the same fare agon the Hoboken ferry, whereas they charge two cents more. (here the witness was reminded by the Cuaitman that a <epplement to the act empowered the company 10 ipcrease the fares ) The charges for wagons, carriages and heavy loads are exortitant; oftentimes when the boat should start in the morning the deck hands will be playing euchre on shore, and when they got to the boat tiie tide will be gone ont, and it will take over wm hour to get the boat ont of the mud; T often stood two aud three hours waiting for the boat, whteh on several occasions ouly made one trip in the day; look upon the ferry management as a gross despotisna, he company sets public opinion at defiance; the entire man- neoment devolves on Nathaniel Doyle, who |» the Presi- dent; the day after the presentment of the Hudson county Grand Jury relative to this terry the words “sheep fold” were posted up conspicuously over gentiemen's cabin, as if to set even the law at defiance; tbe ferry, under proper management, would attract ag immense trafic; most of the residents in this quarter are obliged to travel to Hoboker of the present mapagement is to depopu- district aud convert it into m grazing pasture; more ationtion is paid to catéle than to human heings; Would never let my wife cross over in the bont, ‘as I consider 1 would be too great # risk of Lie, while the obscene writings and figures in the Jadies’ cabin, uot to speak of the dirt, are repulsive in the extreme even to the feelings of men; no lamps are lighted in the evening in that cabin, thos exposing maorals to contamis ave known ladies to prefer standing outside in id cold; never knew the boat to be painted or a here wore formerty two hoate, and one was sold; have prepared no jess than sixteen aflldavits, with thirty or forty documents, to prove all these statements ; these papers are now in Trenton, but will be laid before the Board of Chosen Frecholders in cae time; in case of fire the result would be most calamitous, as there is no provision against it; tbe platform feuding to she ferry is » rotten as to endanger the lives of auy who tread on ij 2m Of opinion that the leuse be wiindrawn from ‘y present management and given to men who a > venelit and a highly pro- jon, a2 at preaent Mr. Doyle is deai to all Cari Schuliy said that last commer be conveyed no loss than eighty thonsand blocks of stone across the terry, for which he was charged ten shillings « load, but it he three dollar or five dollar bill he would be charged twelve shillings a load; the Hoboken ferry the charge is charges are quite atiutrary on the Weehawken ferry.

W. H. Vermitye was named as chairman, Mr Bicvrard Mitchell was appointed Secretary. ‘The, Secretary read the call of the meeting, which set forth, the Injuries that would be inflicted on the owners Of property by the constraction of the proposed road, ‘wrgod that evary exertion should be made to defeat the Motropolitan Transit Company now before the Lexis. Yetare, and whicn bill, the call stated, would becomo Jaw if the most energetic measures were not taken to defeat its fine! passaxe. Mr, Sovurmmayn, in a} ened addrese, described the provisions of the bill. Jo the first place, the company to take a street twenty-five feet wide, extend- ing Ina straight line ‘rom Waverley place to the Park, running between Fifth Sixth avenues, The art authorized them to take that street, at such point as they ‘They had published a prospectus |p which they ‘indicated their present intention to erect the line 500 feet from Fifth avenne; but they might vary that from such motives as gcomed to them prudent If the gentle- men ho was addressing lived in the imme- diate vicinity of this proposed railroad, they did vot need any remarks from him to show the position they at present stood in. Tho gpeaker characterized the measure as giving a splendid opportunity for levy- ing black mail. The company to rup an uD- derground railway through the cellars. a horse car in the streets, and the gem of the affhir was a line of railroad through the secona stories of the houses, a double track, with steam cara, in the space of twenty-five feet, while they propose to rent out the lots above for stores, for factories and for saloons, A board of commissioners was to be appointed to decide ‘on the value of the houses. The property holders cold not say a word as to who these commissioners might be; aud if they received seventy-five per cent of the value of their houses they might consider themselves well off. These peopie are to be theoretically paid. Tho blocks convement to the ed line would be injured to the extent of two millions of dollars, and where was com- pensation to come from? What did the property owners: now propose todo? If they thought that resolutions and indignation meetings would stop the measure they would be mistaken. It was necessary that there should be remonstrances sent to Albany; but if they relied on Albany they rested ona broken reed. It was strangothat this measnre had been advocated by some of the news- pap'rs of this city. One of the persons promoting the bill was hand and glove with the promoters of it. He did not mean to say that those papers were influenced by corrupt motives, but he might state that if the pro- porty owners had not stirred in the matter the bil would probably have the Senate, I) they did not wake up and find what imminent peril hung over their pro- perty this bill would pass; bht if they ronsed themselves to action, as sure as the sunlight it would be defented. (Cheers. ) The speaker concluded his remarks Dy reading a pre- amble and resolutions which strongly devounced the bill as uncalled for by the necessities of travel and calculated to destroy most valnabie property in a riving part of the city. The resolutions closed with the names of a num- ber of influential gentlemen whom the promoters of the opposition deemed it advisable should proceed to Albany to assist in defeating the measure, Mr. Jerewran Laroque said they had been told that some of the papers of this city were deeply interested in this matter. Ho was credibly informed that the bill was propared by ® person connected with one of the papers of Now York. If he was right the company was to be at hberty to run their road anywhere west of Fifth avenue. He feared that the bill would cause blackmail to be levied, and euable the bt ar to pur- chaso their right of way and build their fine. Could fit be presumed that the As:embly passed this bill without contemplating that damage would be done to somebody? Bithor this was not an honest act on the part of those who voted for the bill or they were not fit to ai the duty for which they were sent to ‘Albany. (Cheers.) They did not allow time for discus- sion. As to what the chairman said, it seemed to him that the numerous assombly he saw there to-night ap- preciated the fact that their property was about to be seriously affected. thought that there was spirit enough in the city of New York to. the fact that this was a new frature of agrarian law. There was too much of this agrarian law among them. Those who did not wish to work were always busy with schemes to get other people's property. (Cheers) It might be sald that this was a meeting of aristocrats—and why not build a road between the Fifth and Sixth avenues? But he said that it was @ calamity to all the citizens of New York whenever any act took place that had the offect of destroying property, as this bill would do, (Cheers.) The idea of establishing this three tier railway was an outrage, If it was mecessary to have a three tier railway why not bofld it on the rogvlar avenues on arches? They had a splendid Fifth avenne, bot was not that the boast of every citizen, rich or poor? If they were to have a three tier railway there ‘Was the Seventh avenue om the one side asa place of proper convenience, and the Second or Third avenue on the other. He did not discuss the question of a three tier railway stall, but if it was to be built it should be built on one of the regular lines of travel, He thought the bill would be defeated. (Mheers ) My. Dayugs, D. Lorp remarked that he Jistened ‘ib attention to Mr. Larocyae. It was a most remarkas ble faci that the bill had passed by an almost unanimous vote. It might be all well to say that the Assembly was corrupt, but they had themselves very much to blame. He was informed that there was a pile of petitions two feet high sentto Albany in favor of the bill, and also extracts from newspapers in favor of it, A GeytieMas—Whai newspapers? TI think it ought to be known w! pers supported this bill, Mr, Lonp said he did not care to meution the papers. It was thought that the very best mode of contesting this line would be on the houses at the back of the Fifth avenne, It might, perhaps, be necessary to take dowa a stable or achurch; but that would bo a matter of no consequenee. (Laughter.) A Vouce—And the Crotou, Mr. Lorp-—Oh, we will not want water as long as we have the railroad. (Langhter.) He denounced the bill as the most ipiqcitons measnre thet ever passed the Assembly. (Cheers.) The bill authorized the Company, aftor taking your house or mine, to issue stock in pay- ment for the same, (Langhter.) If any one of you Want to get stock in the Metropolitan Transit Company you know now how to get it. (Renewed Inugbter,) He cop ead that with united action this bill could be de- enti Mr, Epwoxp Braxkéan said that if thia act was car. Tied into effoct, it wes the act of bad men whom they had placed in power as their lav makers, The bill was not pasced on tho ground that there was any necessity for ft. It was a till, as Mr, Lord said, to take in the rear of the hon<es on the Firth avenue, | They must act Promptly if they wished to succeed in opposing the measuro, It wns afact that if ther wished to move : ures they could be moved only by the almighty i ad if they conld beliove that the members of the Assambly who voted for the bill did so without corrupt motives, it was one of the most extraordinary ie that ever happened. He supposed some person would go to Mr Jones and say, ‘ifr. Jones, this road must go through your house.” Mr. Jones might say “Can't you go somewhere cise?’ and Mr. Joues might be told that the thing could be “managed.” Mr. Joww McKeax said that he had heard with delight the indignation expressed against thoee who voted for the bitl; bet he thought that they should pass a vote of thauks to the man who had voted against it, Did any man know bis name? (A voico—‘‘That is what we are trying to find oat.”) The nan who voted against this iniquitous bill had aright to say that those who voted for st wero either rogues or fools. (Cheors.) After speaking 1a strong terms against the system of corruption that prevails at Albany, and urging the meot ing to present themselves in x body at tho Senate In op- position to the measure, which the speaker characterized as infamous, ‘The preamble and resolutions were adopted, and after @ varicty of sucgestions had been offered by General Wetmore, ex-Jndge Beebe and otbers, it was agreed that 9 number of gentlemen should at once proceed to Albany to resist the measure, and a finance committee Was appointed to solicit material aldgor that parpose. ‘The meeting brok up at half-past fen o'clock. sari oh TAL MUADER IN MARYLAND.

Seaton and Buchanan, who, under tive chief medical officer of the government, inspected the vaceination in the principal towns, They found that much of the vaccinating was improperly performed, and that the people were again becoming: indifferent to its importance.

After some further description of the bay Professor Hartt went on to state that when the expedition arrived at Rio Ja- neiro the party was sent off on various excursions, which ocenpied a month or more, while Pro- fessor Agassiz made lls headquarters’ In the cing, amusing immense collections, expecially of fish. himself and companion, Mr, Edward Copeland, of Bos- ton, #43 given the exploration of the coast between Rio danciro and Bahia, Before preescding further the speaker gave agraphic description of the city of Rio Janeiro, which contained xbeut 300,000 inhabitants, and the houses of which were built chiefly of brick or stone, In the city were a namber of churches, hospitals, &c. A largo cominerce was done, principally in coffee, sugar, xe., the Duainess being principally 1a the hands of Por- tuguese and French. After briefly describing several places in the viciniy of the city, which were approached by rail and steamers, the Professor said that ho left Rio Janeiro on the 19th of June, 1865, in a little coast steamer, and in three days arrived at Campos, acity on the Rio Paraiba, about thirty miles from its mouth, where his party remained several days making collections of fizh, birds, &c, and examining the Rio Marlahé. The Rio Purabiba took its rise in the province of Rio Janeiro, and as long as it flows among the moun- tains is obstructed by many rapids and is navigable onty for canoes, In its lower part it reaches the plains on the coast and is nasigable for sma'l steamers and Jaunches for about sixty miles, The plaius aro exceed- ingly fertile and particularly sued for the cultivation of the sugar cane and such other products as the water in the rainy seasons would pot damage, Campos isa flourishing little city, with some ten thousand to fifteen thousand inbabitants, boasting of a large number of churches and a theatre. It docs a large business in sugar avd coffee principally, which are collected from the pvixhboring country and interior, and salt, which is imported from Rio Janeiro and sent into the interior. After making numerous col- Jections he went to Victoria, where Le presented his lot- ters to the President, and aiter waiting a week was provided with mules, which, he was told, could only convey hin a part of his way. His party then returred ‘o Rio Janeiro, and shortly afterwards recommenced their joufney towards Bahia. On arriving at the Rio Doce noticed Jarge wurties, which wero there in abundance, and the eggs ot which made good omctets. Professor Hartt gave a fine description of the Rio Doce, along the boraers of which the land was very fertile, and in the ledge of which there were « quantity of dia- monds. The vatives of the region of the Ric Doce were uncivilized, aud wore little or no apparel, and inclined to be as cannibals in the choice of their food. He then journeyed to Santa Clara, subsequently to Philadelphia, whero a German eolovy was settled, and after stopping at Bahia and other smailer plates, returned to Rio Janeiro, whence the journey homeward was begun. Professor Hartt iNustrated bis discourse by a diagram on @ blackboard, and narrated, during the couree of bis re- marks, many interesting incidents happening in connec- tion with bia explorations. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was tendered to him, after which the audience dispersed. THE KIMBALL CASE. The Victim Net the Wite of the Late Lieuten- ant Colonel Kimball, of the Hnawkins Zou. aves—Additional Facts and Affidavits, &c. The anvouncement published in all the city papers yesterday, to the effect that the widow of the late Colonel Kimball, who waz shot by Genera! Corcoran, bad died from an abortion produced by ceriata persons, at the Irving House, ov the 22d of January iast, turns out to have been an erroneous statement, the publication of which is to be deoply regretted, not only for the sakey of Mrs, Colonel Kimball herself, but for that of the many warm friends in this city and else. where whom she is known to possess, and who very paturally feel aggrieved at the statement re- ferred to. It appears that the reporters who were wens at the examination of Dr. Beakley, at the mids Police Court, were led to believe, from a statement made by Mrs Cole, the nurse, that the deceased had confessed to her that éhe was the ‘wife of Major Kim- ball, who was killed during the war,” that the lady mentioned was the wito of the Colone! Kimball shot by General Corcoran, He rere as has since been ascortained, that ‘Mrs. Elizabeth E. Kimball,” whose death by so frightful a means was was the widow of Lieutenant John F, Kim! formerly of the Ironsides regiment, One Hundred and Seventy-sixth New York Volunteers. Lieutenant Kimball du the war was taken prisoner at Brashear City, La, died while in the hands of the rebels. Moreover, the mai avd maiden name of the wife of the Colonel Kim- ball shot by General C ‘orcoran was L. Heien McLean, while the baptismal and maiden name of the unfortu- nate fady who died at the Irving House was Elizabeth E._ Luther, The following card, which bas been one of tho many friends of Mra, L. ‘delen "izaball, will be seen, would of itselffeettic ail doubt as to the Identity = bir ‘wo ladies were there no other proof to be pro juced :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
