An enthusiastic and Jargely attended meeting of importers ava merchants of the city was held yes. terciay aiternoon, at three o'clock, at No, 16 Broad street, in the room used formerly by the Open Board of Brokers. The object of the meettng was to ob- tam areform in the Nnancial policy of the federa) goverument by the adoption of free trade prin- ciples, In addition to this there was the practical object of devising the ways aud means for carrying On an agitation i favor of tree trade principles. In this latter object the meeting Was successful, for, before st adjourned, nearly $20,000 were raised by Voiuntary subscripuons. ‘The chair was taken by Mr. JACKSON 8. ScnHuLTz, Who in the course of his speech alluded to the mo- nopolisis who had diverted public revenues to secure monopoles to certain classes by prohibiting im- portauions altogether. He then went on to say: ‘So far as | have any right to speak for the manuiac- wurers of the country, | desire to protest, in their name, against the continuance of such a state of things, which must in the future unsetule and de- Biroy enterprise, as it has in the past, which, but Jor such interference, might nave this aay been pros- perous. As manufacturers we want to be let alo ‘We want not only stability, but peace, This we c mever attain unde y system of forced iegisiatrve “protecuion,’’ such as 1s demanded tn our name and interest. If a strictly revenue taruf ts estab! aeciared to be the fixed policy of the government, then 38 not only ali controversy at an end, but tue manufacturers themselves can anticipate, long be- fore Cong! will be called upon to act, what changes are demanded and when Iikely to occur, So jong as Congress shall listen to the demands of ubscrupuious men for special protection these ap- peais will oe and multiply as they have here- sofore; and if tfey are heeded all the productive in- terests of the country may be placed in the anomal- ous and morulyiug situation of our own merchants ‘and slupbuilders, who are forced to ask government Subsidies for transporration and bounties on ship- builaing. ‘The concessions unavoidably made ma wirictly revenue tarv? are ali that any of we mana- faccurers hitherto specially favored can plausibly ask, and this only for a short time, nnti. the extin- g@uishinent of our national debt, Mr. W1L.JAM ALLEN BUTLER then read a number of resolutions declaratory of free trade principles, we Jast of which were the foltowing:— Resolved, That those of our fellow citizens who have asso- ciated themaclves to work for revenue reform, under the mame of tne Free Trade League, have # just claim to our ‘thanks for ihe success which has attended their eiforis dur- jug the past year. dtenolved, That as a new Congress is shortly to be elected, it is imperative that the agitation for revenue reform should be coutinued and that the people should be ao enlightened ‘hat inembers of Congress may be chosen pledged to economy Of the public expenditnre, to # atern resistance of all govern- ment bounties, subsidies and specta’ legislation and to a re- Wision aud simplification of the tariff. Resolved, That to secure these essential reforms we each of ws pleageour efforts god our means; aud that a commit- tee of ten be appointed by the Chair to secure the co-opera- tion of aii who desire to assist in this object. Mr. MAHLON SaNDs in a clear and forcible speech summarized the results of the labors of the Free ‘Trade League since its establishment, and sketched ‘the campaign for the future. Mr. CHARLES H. MARSHALL, Treasurer of the Free ‘Trade League, reported that during the past year the receipts were $30,535 60, and the expenditures Were $25,580 48. Mr. WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT then addressed the meeting, and alter referring to bis own exertions in connection with the {vee trade movement, and the Progress of the question in the public mind, con- <lnded by saying:—Mr. President, we must get up & spanking breeze from the right quarter in this coun- try, and we may be gure that Congress will obey its impulse, and we shail again have Ca iron, cheap Sue} and cheap clothing. During the late civil war public opinion went sadly back on the question of protection; while we bad 4 worse tart of duties ‘whan bad ever belore been inficted on the country, qet aid vot care 19 quarrel wi;h It, Inasmuch ax we ad more important contreversies OD hand.

Tovome Tax—Alleged False ReturneAnother of Coltector Balley’s Cases. Betore Commissioner Osborn. The United States vs, Wiliam M. Fleiss.—The de- fendant is @ wholesale liquor dealer, and is charged with having made a false revara of his Income for the year 1568. The examination was resumed yes- terday, before Commissioner Osborn, for the third ume, The only evidence odered by the government on the part of the prosecution was that of the Assis- vant Assessor, one Hayward, Who deposed that, ac- cording to bis. calculations; there was a discrepancy between the amount of the-return of income and the amount a8 shown by the <icfendant’s books, A quesuiom arose as te the production of the books, when It appearcd that taey had been seized by Hay- wid and left in the possession of a receiver, Mr. iney, WAO had been-engaged in closing up the busi- neas of the firm of Fleiss & Myers, By order of Col- loctor Bailey wwo keepers were left in the custody of the books, aud they had instructions to let noting #0 1D oF oUt of the premises m wich the books were placed—Tilney’s ofice, 22 Bridge street. The de- Tendant has made a-etatement to the Commissioner Ws Lhe eflect that tbe books are most essential to the closing up of his-business; Lbat as soon as he found they were 1m the possession of Mr. Bailey he de- wanded them back, Mr, Bailey assuring him that he should have them; but, as he states, he has never since received them, Yesterday, when the case was again called on, the Assisiant District Attorney, Mr. Jackson, stated that he haa been requeste: by Collector Bailey to ask an adjournment on the ground thal the Collector was in possession 01 evi. dence to show that the books had been left in the delendant’s possession. Mr. 5. G. Courtney, on the part of the defendant, resisted the adjournment, observing that there was no more reason Tor postponing 1t chen than there was the day before. It Was, counsel contended, a gross wrong that a respectable citizen and mer- chant of New York ag Mr, Fleiss was should be kept coming here day after day with @ charge of this character hanging over his head merely to sult the convenience of Mr, Bailey, who, if he had evi- dence to sustain the charge, would lay it before the Court without delay. He (Mr. Courtney) did not accuse Mr, Bailey having personaly detained the books; but in all probapility they were either lost or destroyed by the Keepera: who been put in charge of them, and those were Mr. Bailey’s sub- ordinates. ‘fhe Commissioner stated that as the matter raised a question as Lo the possession of the books he would adjourn the case tll to-morrow, at eleven o'clock A, SUPERIOR COURT—CHAMBERS.

Before Recorder Hackett, MORE MURDER CASES FOR TRIAT. At the opeuing of the conrt yesterday District At- torney Garvin moved on the trial of John Puncell, charged with murder in the first degree, The trial ‘was set down for Thursday next.

Abbott, charged with forging Rock Is- land and Pacific Railroad bongs, and Johnson and Bradiey, indicted upon a charge of extensive for- geries of ‘five-twenties,”? were placed at the bar. Mr. Garvin said be would try these cases next week, ‘a8 S00 as the murder trials were concluded. ALLEGED FORGERY—ACQUIITAL OF THE ACCUSED. Christian Olm, a Se il dealer in Grand street, was charged with forgery m the third de xree, he having presented two checks, amounting to $600, to the teller of the Manufacturers? and Merchants’ Bank on the 8th of October, purport- ing to bave been signed by A. F. Searstedt, which he pronounced to be forgeries. ‘The defence showed by @ number of witnesses that the aefendant was a highly respectable citizen and received the checks from @ man who called himself Jonnson and evho purchased 2,000 cigars at his establishment.

The spot in which vice of every name and trade has left its imprints on the dust was marked by tho tread of sixteen handsome young lads who had committed no crime—who had merely been advertising agents. Advertisers there be, un- touched by jaw or the municipal police, who live upon society. Of these the law in its mystertous application and enforcement does not take hold. But of these boys, Well, they bore banners on which Was inscribed the well known raongrel and interest- ing performance whose nawe in itself is a sensa- tion—"The Iweive Temptations.”” he appearance of the boys naturally excited an imterest in Broad- way. They were handsom jo were. the banners they bore. The ttle of rhe play, inscribed in letiers ot gold and in adeep blue tint, was also striking. Altogether it was a vovel dodge, weil calculated to contrast with the shabby meaus usually employed to ventilate superfine goods. ‘She uistory of the little sensation is, that Mr. Page, of the Grand Opera Honse, engaged sixteen boys to advertise his latest and beat edfort at Jim Jubitee's Palace. He provided them liberally, a8 far as uni- forms were concerned. Everything about them was Stagy. Rich uniforma, in red, white and gold adorned the young prisoners. The natural results jn curious Broadway was, tat crowds looked, aud Jooking, naturally collected, and though more than Aisty officers allowed the interesting advertisers to pose on, officer Beatty, of the Broadway squad, had ttle poetry enough in his nature, im his desire tor the freedoin of trafic on Broadway to arrest the boys ond carry them to the court atipe Tombs, They wero, however, discharged by Alderman Miller op lus asceriaiging the Sagts, ,at the usual reaction from so great a fall. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Was. SrReRr, } THURSDAY, Feb. 24—6 P.M, ‘The excitement in financial circles to-day recalled Uhe days of last Septemper, When every eye waa directed to the ductuations on the gold dial, The galleries of the Gold Room were, as then, thronged by an anxious crowd, while the amphitheatre was dense with brokers. ‘GOLD DECLINED TO 11634, My. The feverish tone of tke market at the opening— the feciing being the bequest of the previous day’s decline—prepared the dealers for a stil further downward movement, The first regular qnotation was 117%, from whith the price run rapidly down © 1163s, @ vision of specie paymenta within a week almost startling the terrified “bulls” ont of thelr senses. There are/hundreds of men in ‘Wal street— Americans by birth and vaunt—wno, paradoxically, are always on the ‘bull’? side of gold, and are ever belittling the country, the government and the finances. Such people are the victims of the pres- ent decline. In the long Net of faiiures during the winter there were many houses ‘with tis same gloomy mental view of the government who were constantly looking for the utter demoraization of the currency and @1 ise in gold to.enormous figures. All these classes of commercial speculators and gold gamblers have been shipwrecked and laid up high and dry by the sudden subsidence of the premium on gold. The market had two distinct movements to-day. Jt first went off to 1163, on the sale of “long” gold, which was /iterally poured upon the market. It will be remembered that in the bank statement last week the curious discrepancy be- tween the amall loss of specie by the banks and the customs payments of the week was explained on the hypothesis that the decline of gold pelow 120 had then brought out vast stores of gold hoarded tn families, in merchants’ safes and jike private sources, This forenoon there were large sales of the same kind of gold. The effect was the declive to 116%, the speculators selling out as well, In the afternoon the price reacted to 117, but upon the receipt of the news that the Senate had unani- mousy adopted a resolution deciaring against fur- ther inflation of the currency, and ou its becoming known that Secretary Boutwell had bought one mil- lion of bonds at the Sub-Treasury in addition to the immilaon solicited, another semi-panic set in and the price tumbled to 1163g, which is the lowest since August, 1862. Inasmuch as the general rate patd for “carrying” to-day was 4} to 5 per cent, the market seems as yet without ashort interest. Exception- ally, a8 high as seven per cent was paid to have gold carried, which was two per cent above the rate for Money on call. ‘The gold sola within the past few days has simply passed into the nands of a new line of buyers, Who, as they are fresher in the market and have unimpaired margins, can make a better fight; but as the demand tor gold 1s limited to the few hundred thousand dollars requisite daily to pay customs, and as exchange is without tone or firmness despite the decline, the market closed weak Tt was even said that Secretary Boutwell is preparing sta- tistics to show that our exports for the expired six months of the current fiscal year are thirty mijiions in excess of our imports. Itis not stated, however, whether the exports included shipments of five- twenties, the quotation for which advanced to 90 in London to-day, and, with the Senate resolution, as- sisted in the “break” to 116%. The operations of the Goid Exchange Bank were as follows:—Goid cleared, $57,445,000; gold balances, $1,378,301; cur- rency balances, $1,700,792, The range of the gold Market was as follows:— Ti 8 1m litss 1 116% 2P. M. P. SHARP DECLINE IN STOOKS. ‘The “break” in gold led to @ semi-panic in stocks, ana prices fell from one to fivé per cent, the latter extreme being made in the case of Chicago and Alton, which fell to 110. The decline is only the Partial fruition of the plans of the ciiques im the “pull? programme for the epring, which contem- Plates the alternate advancement and lowering of prices, in order that they may triple or quadruple their profits in the movement from the lowest point of the winter to the highest point of next summer. The cliques have been unloading for some ten days, and they are now hammering the market, and may probably put it several per cent lower—at Jeast such ig their intention before tney buy for the second stage in their grand ‘‘bull” movement. They bave the advantage of working on a@ market which has @very limited short interest, the “bears” having been forced to cover some three weeks since, when St. Paul was 76, Northwest preferred at 92, and New York Central at 99. The Western shares were very weak on the “point” that Northwest next week would show a decrease of $50,000 and next month at least $300,000. The ‘point’ was so confidentially and generally circulated as to create the suspicion that the clique wished the outsiders to sell the balance of their stock and go short, ‘The Lake Shore earnings show an 1crease of nearly $25,000 for the third week in February. Erie was heavy on the report that a bill has been introduced in the Legis- lature which will forestall the action of the English stockholders. Rock Island was active, and upon heavy purchases recovered to 1205;. The market closed dull at a reaction from the lowest prices. The money market was without new features, ‘The highest and Jowest prices of the leading stocks wore as follows:— Highest, Lowest, vs New York Cen. & Hud.

In the old bonds— the 81’s—quotations were for a time over a half per cent higher than gold, which ts the first me since our great national debt was created that our bonds have gone beyond par in gold.
