Boston, Jan. 9, 1871. There has been a great deal of speculation and | comment during the past ten days about the re- ported tatinre of Oakes Ames. Some of the stories have represented him as having cone down beyond Mnancia! reclamation, and others have reported him as being only temporarily embarrassed, with assets nearly doubhng his Habilities. Toe creditors of Mr, Ames, or of the various firms with which he ts connected, held an informal meeting one day last week and appointed a committee to examine into the condition of affairs and the prospects of the obligations being met if an extension was granted. The committee appointed consisted of Elisha Atkins, Frankiin Haven, James H. Beal, John B. Alley, John T. Coolidge, George B. Upton, T. W. Walker, B. EB, Bates and Seth Turner, and tne result ef their inves- tigations Was made known at a special meeting called here to-day. Creditors to the numer of nearly a hundred were present, and it is provably no exaggeration to say that there never was @ larger representation of Wealth before assembled, Not less than a hundred millions, at the very lowest estimate, were probably represented by individuats as individuals, to say nothing about the vast amounts represented by gentiemen who appeared as officers of banks and corporations. Jobn B. Alley, of Lynn, formerly member of Con- gress from Bucler’s district, was chosen chairman of the meeting, and Seth J. Turner, of Boston, was Plected secretary. Mr. Alley, after a few prelimt- mary remarks, submitted tae following report of lus committe At the solicitation of Mes ether with requests fro he undersigned were indu Sigate their affairs, and to tion to this meeting. cliefy for the reason promptness wise an ustment.

When Mr. Alicy had finished reading the foregoing report he addressed tue meeting as follows Now, geatiemen, I wish to say a few words In be- hati of Oakes Ames. it ts due to lim, to you, his creditors, and to the community, that he should be vindicated, and an explanation made why he tnds Qumse!! in this position. What I say now is without his knowledge and upon my own responsibil- fty, but I know whereof I affirm. I as- sert without fear of contradiction, but for him, his beldn his courage, lus energy, that greatest of achievements im ancient or modern terprises—the building of the Pacifle Ratiroa would not to-day nor for a long time to come, ever, have become an accomplished fact. I hesitate not to assert that if the national governe ment, Which saves many millions annually by its construction, had been as falthfui to its obligations as he and those with whom he is associated in the management and direction of this read have been to it, he would not have been obiiged to askfat your hands the accommodation which his necessities now demand. Instead of denunciation and abuse the builders of Lis road had a right to expect the co-operation and gratitude of both government and peopie. But con- Leutions factions, rival interests and wicked Speculators have done thelr worst to misrepre- sent them apd poison the public mind in regard to 18 construction and management, and they so far succeeded, m_ connection with Wisck-matung, pluudering and swindling legal Falds upon its operations, to so impair its credit i Mr. Ames, assisted by a few others, was com- pelied to take it upon his hercniean shoulders sev- eral times, and lift tt outof dimcuity. To do this he invested largely un its securities, and this demand, Jately ¥ the government, just as the road ‘was getting inte good position, and “out of the woods,” and he fet that he should soon realize someting wear their real vatue, reduced meir mar- Ket value so much that with au his other burdens he ty succumb. The demand was a8 unexpected and sudden as it Was unjust; for, 1 venture to say, no fair minded Man Whe was in Congress at the time the bills were Passed, as were Mr. Ames and nyself, ever dreamed of such @ demand being made by wwe government. To be sure, the real demand of te government is pot 60 very burthensome, aud ought not ¢o have seriously affected the securities, but the misapprehension of the puvile with regard tothe extent of the de. mand has reduced ubeir market value very ma- tertaily. if you will pardon we, I will briefly saie bow it bappencd that Mr. ames got | luto ths enterprise. He was @ member of the Pactfic Railroad Committee in Congress, and he felt, as we all did, the great and overshatowing Jmporiance to this nation of having a railroad across the Continent—and you all remember how much it was discussed and how in- dispensable it was regarded. i remember well that President Lincoin said to me, one da that he regarded it 80 vital to tue poiitical safety of the nation, as well a9 to the muterial Anierests of the country, that he should go for almost any bill that the capitalists of the country would accept and agree to buiid the road under. ‘The first bill passed vy Congress provided that the whole of the earaings of We road in tue service of | the government sould be appropriated to the pay- meut of the bonds and Interest, ‘Taey found they could uot induce capitalists to uid the road upder that bill, and they returned ibe nex year and got it amended, 80 that only one- half of the earnings tn the service of the govern- wient should be and also that the govern- meut lieu should second lien. Mr. Ames was op phe committee, and favered the Dill, Be came to me and asked me to support it. 1 told him i: seemed to me almost too favorable a bil! it} ‘and people, and i REPRE Pe = Ml FR won ‘or any other member of Congress Nad the 8 test idea at any time of engaging in this great work under that bill a8 amended. Capialists chiefly in New York induced to pay in, I be- {eve, ‘about half @ million, and the work progressed for some months, When they got discouraged aud conciuded to lose what they had put 7. rather than risk more under these,“ cir- cumstances, Mr. Ames was appealed tO ‘more than @ year, | think, after the passage of these Duis under watch the road was butit. I re“nember he calied upon me and asked me to jova him and others and lt this enterprize @ut of ts embarrase- ments and try and put it through, He urged upon me the patriotic consideration of its immense benefit to the baugoa, and the great credit that all would get from Uae American by] whoavere instrumental in its completion, We all felt iad if properly managed it promised liberal rofit, . He went tnto tt and invested with bis brother a very jarge amount of moucy, and mest faitninily have they kept all teir obligadons with the goveru- ment. ‘They, with ther associates, have built a first class read and thoroughly equipped it, and peiiormed every part of their agreement to the very letter and a greatdeal more, They have built it in half the tme allowed and at an enor. mousiy tmereased cost, compelled to do so to save their property in consequence of the bad faith of Congress. By building this road they have given many millions value to the half of the lands reserved by government, which before were utterly valneless and must have remained so if tne road lad not been built, the government saves in transportation and direct expenses annually several milhons more than the whole interest amonts to; and little did he or any one think who was in Congress at the ume those bills were passed, when the unspeakable importance of the road was completely reahzed, and the great risk incurred by its projectors fully appreciated that Congress, the government or the people would ever prove fuituless to their obligations merely because hey supposed it had proved a profitanie investment; but in this the public and Con- gress nave been deceived and dejuded. There is net one who would, like the Ameses, have kept all their securities and fulfilied all their obligations to their associates, that could get to-day a new dollar for an old one, with interest added, To be sure if all these securities prove to be per- feetiy zood and the stock very reliable, as Mr. Ames and his associate, who are thoroughly posted as to all their ims and outs, confidently believe they will be at no remote period, ten indeed wil they realize & bbeval reumuneration for their mvestment; and where is tne man, with an American heart in his bosom, that can begrudge them such a result? Never were men so ruthlessly ussatled, and never were any entitled to more credit, if anything 18 to be allowed for acts and enterprises, productive uf sucu prouigious anu beuefi- cent results. I know that timid capitalists shake their beads and exclaim, what a bold man ! how une wise! 1 complain not of this. This is well forthem, but we are not ail made alike.

When Mr. Alley had finished, Mr, Hall, of the Tre- mont Bank, moved that the report of the committee be accepted, and George B. Upton followed in sup- port of the motion, claiming that if the estate went into jnsolvency it would damage the prospectsfof the creditors and greatly affect the industrial Interests of the State by the stoppage o! their various and ex- tensive braiiches of manufacturiag. Mr. Ouls, of Barnstabie, velieving that none of the creditors would ever lose a deilar, thought, how. not here it would be wise td appoiat a trustee, or, perhaps, © committee to look after tue interests of the creditors. Both Mr. Mall and Mr. Alley opposed this motion, though the Messrs. Ames were Willig it should Le adopted, and the motion was withdrawn; after which the report of the committee, as originally pre- sented, Was adopted by a unanimous vote, und the Teetigg then dissolved, the leading creditors hav. ing freviously signed an agreement tor extension, as recommended by the committee. RECEPTIONS LAST NIGHT, Reception Ball at the Acagemy of Mu Last Night—The Spirits of the Twenty- second Regiment Let Loese—Who Were There. ‘The Academy of Music was last night again the scene of merriment and beauty, on the lon of the anmal reception ball of the Twenr, second regiment. Yo say it was a brilliane affar would bnt poorly express the actual fact. On en- tering the hall at the principal deorwas the first ! wine that struck the observer was on array of paintings, the property of the members of the regiment. Many of these were admirably finished? and served as an excellent ornamentation for the principal corridor, Among these were lite paintings of Colonels Remmey and Monroe, Captain McGrath and others belonging to the Twenty-secona. terior of the Academy was tastily and appropriately decorated, and as one walked into the arena he could but be struck with the brilliancy of the whole scene, A thousand jets of gas emitted their soft and steady light, shedding around tne hall a delight- fu! softness of shade, at the same time giving to the gorgeous costnmes of the ladies and the haudsome uniforms ef the ofMicers of the regiment a loveliness that ts almost inaescribable. The hall was tolerably well filled, and sometimes a little too full, but there ‘was no crowding or crashing, and all the arrange. ments Were so perfect that not the slighes: breakage or hitch occurred in the programme from first to last. It was, indeed, a select and pleasant company. It was also a charming sight 10 witness the bright and happy features of the ladies as they gleamed with excitement and anxiety to keep up the spirit of the affair, or to watch the gentiemanly and gallant manner in which the members of the corps treated their lady fricads, parading and dancing, lauguing and joking. There were two bands of music—one for contribating the amusement for the feet and the other to enchant the ear by discoursing music from | Meyerbeer, Offenbach, Verdl, &c., so that 18 soon as the one had finished the other immediately com~ menced, Music filie@ the air’ and “beauty waiked the board Over the piace where the stage usually stands was | alarge imitation tent, fitted up with great tasie, Beneath this and quite at the back was a@ raised dais, covered with rich green batze, and approached from th tferm by means of five steps, specially made and orpamented for the occasion. Upon wus dais stood a beautifully gilded door, over wich was @ magnificent American fag, so arranged as Ww show the entre form of the eagie, walle below tus again was a coat of arms, bearing the motto “purious Tnum.” On the top of the baize were placed four stacks of rifles, with guttering bayonets, and live stacks of drums, while two brass cannon, petished and ornamented, gaped at each etaer, the one pointing nerth and the other to the south. At the Joot of the steps were twe statues. One repre- sented the Goddess of Liberty; the otner was the representation of Justice, The sides of the hall were decorated with the coats of arms belonging to the thirty-six States of the Union, besides numer- ous flags and emblems, which hung down in grace- iui profusion, and gave @ lively and fascinating tint to tue entire scene. At the back of all this was a splendid drop scene, belonging to the Academy, representing a thousand hills, with snow-topped summits, reaching away into the clouds, while at their base ran a murmuring stream, part of which was representeg as dashing and splashing over a recipice of k and jaunching into a siivery ake that seemed to sleep in majestic slumber below. Ail was order and enjoyment. end what with the merry hum of voices, the boght and happy faces, good costumes and good music, the affait may be said to have been a complete success, ‘The ball was opened by the colonel of the regiment at about nine o'clock, and the dancing, once com- Menced, was kept up with great s: cease until the “milky way” Nad appeared in the streets this norning. “The order of dancing was as usua!—a quadrile first, and so on antit the iinat galop had been completed, Among those prescnt were Sheriff M.T, Brennan, Judge Brady, al B. Kiddoo, General Shaler, Colonel James Fisk, Jr, Colonel Clark, of the S colonel H. Allen and Colonel Eddy, of Provid ; Captain Waters, of the Navy; Colonel Porter, Colonel Kockafeilc of the Seventy-tirst; Colonel Conkling, of the Eight fourth regiment, and a nuinver of onicers from the various corps in the States of New York, Pennsyl- Vanla and Massacnusetts.

The long-talked-of reception of the “veterans cf the National Guard,” or, more properly speaking, of the veterans of the Seventh regiment, tvok place last evening at the armory in Seventh street, It was certainly a grand success as far as numbers were concerned, for there must have been fully three thousand person# pres- ent during the evening. Being a Seventh regiment affair, of course the ladies aud gentiemen who composed the brillant company were of the creme de lacréme of New York society.

The rooms of the Second, Third, Seventh and Muth com- panies were aise ta-tefuily decorated, that of the Sev- euth bearing of the palm, In thecentre ef the room, on a table, was an immense basket of natural Nowers, and just’ above it, halt hidden ina wilderness of evergreens, were several bird cages, irom which tiny canaries endeavored to outrival Grafuila’s music the whole evening through, A GOOD IDEA. * It should be remembered that one of the very best featares of the entertainment was that it was carried on strictly on the temperance plan. Nota botie with a “drop of the cratner,’ or anything elsc of a kind to delight tae palate of a thirsty voper, Was visible m any of the rooms. When this state of afeirs was announced toa gang of Bohemians who had fiocked to the armory note book in haud, se as to advertise their calling to all the outside world which came along, it nearly broke their hearts, It would have melted a madstone to have seen them in their distress; but it had one good eflect in the long ron, and that was to make | period m ever, that as there were many creditors who were | it, and did not | Them lew he building sober.

THE LOSS OF THE SAGINAW. Oficial Announcement of the Disaster. WaAsuINGTON, Jan. 9, 1871, The following 1s a copy of the oficial telegram al nouncing the wreck of the saginaw:— G M. Ro ay BRAWcig0o, Fan. 8, 1871. FORGE M. son, Secretary of the Navy:— The Saginaw Was lost on Ocean Isiand on the 29th of Uctober. Aleutenant Talvot, with four men, reached Sandwich Islands after thirty days by boat. He was drowned, with three men, by the surf. There was one survivor leit, who gave information. A Hawaiian steamer and schooner sailed for the rescue of the crew immediately. JOHN A. WINSLOW, Rear Admiral Commanding. Opinion of Naval Officers at Washington—Lo- cation of the French Frigate Shoals—A Tale of Horror Expected—Despatch Sent by the Navy Department to Honolalu=Full List of Her Officers aud Crew. WasHinaron, Jan, 9, 1871. The despatch received here this morning from San Francisco announcing the total wreck of the United States steamer Saginaw and the loss of four of her crew while attempting to make a landing on une Island of Kanai, after having braved the perils of the ocean in a small open boat for more than & month, during which time they sailed over 1,000 miles, created a deep sensation among the com- munity and fell uke a pall over the officials oi the Navy Department, In the brief deiails that have reached here, and which in all proba- Dinty will be all that will be received for some time to come, it is thought by many that tales of horror are hidden. Among the higher naval oMcers stationed here are several who have repeatedly traversed the waters contiguous to the Sandwich and the adjacent islands, and are well acquainted with the character of the shouls on which the Saginaw was wrecked, These officers entertain serious doubts of the safety of that portion of the ship’s crew which remained on Ocean Island, From their description it appears to be a bleak, barren spot, exposed to the flercest fury of the elements, and wholly destitute of everything that would support life. Ifit be true thate quarter rations only were issued to the ship's company after the striking of the vessel, these officers say that many must have per- ished from starvation, as the boat’s crew were much more liberally rationed than their comrades, and yet their food was almost entirely exnausted in the month spent at sea. Further developments are, therefore, looke2 for with anxiety, and the depart ment has telegraphed to the United States Consul at Honolulu to transmit full details of the wrecking of the vessel and the fate of the survivors as soou as he can possibly ascertain them. It ts a matter of great surprise at the Navy Department that tue Saginaw should have been lost at that particular point, as Ocean island ts far remoyed trom the ordi- nary line of travel, and 13 at least a thousand miles from the Midway Islands, where the Saginaw Was supposed to have been engaged in taking soundings preparatory w the establish. ment of a@ coaling station for the steamers running between San Francisco and Japan, On the chart the French Frigate Shoals lie in a southwesterly direction from the Sandwich Islands, from which it is separated by parallel Imes of reef, so that to reach the scene of the wreck a vessel coming from tne Midway Isiands, which ie to the north of the Sandwich group, would be forced to make a long detour of several hundred miles, In the absence of any Knowa or supposed reason for the presence of the Saginaw at this point the de- partment ts inclined to the opinion that she became disabled in some way while at sea, and was forced there by stress of weather. The Saginaw was a small fourth rate sidewhesl steamer of 235 tons, mounting ten guns, with a crew of seventy-seven officers and men all told. She was Duilt at San Francisco in 1853, and her first cruise was to the East Indies, where she remained about two vears and five months, under the command ef Commander (now Rear Admiral) James F. Schenck, Since then she has always been siatiened with the fcets in the upper and lower Pacific, and about two years since sue was despatched, in charge of Com- mander R. W. Meade, to make @ survey of the Aieutian Islands, lying off Alaska. Subsequently she was sent to the Midway Islands on the mission which has se recently resulted in her destruction, The following 19a full list of her oMcers and crew as late as September 30, 1870: ~ OFFICERS. iAeutenant Commander Montgomery Sicard, of New York, commanding, Lienicnant John G, Lalbot, executive oMcer.
