The first meeting of this Committee wan held on Thursday evening, at the residence of their Chairman, and waa attended by nearly all the members. Alter organizing, by the appoint ment of Henry Hlllou as Heeretary, the Cualr man proceeded to call the attention of the Committee to a ptaclical discussion of the most f asllile method to secure, as far as possible, the object for which they were appointed. In doing bo, he said that the meeting of the Committee, although preliminary, was very Important, as ' It was necesaary at this time to settle upon a oenrse of action for adoption tendiug to carry Into effect the views of the meeting at Cooper Institute, from which the Commit lee emanated. The main object being to secure the election of Ocneial Grunt, tbe first I blng to consider whs how the Committee could aid in brlnelug about such a result. He then gave a brief outline of what he regarded as necessary for the Com mittee to do. First. He would avoid all conflicts with poli ticians, who might seek; to ue the Committee in behalf of candidates for Vice-President, or any other position, giving all their elloris in aid of General Grant aloue, upon the platform laid down by tbe meeting; that Is, his pint record of services to tbe country, aud a confi dence tbnt bis Judgment in tLe future, as In tne past, might be safely relied on to carry the Gov ernment through the many difficulties the country must necessarily encounter during ihe coming four years, Hecond. He would Issue a short business cir cular to all commercial men In tbe country, uiglng tbem to come out and do as had been done at Cooper Institute, not waiting for the politicians to lead, but give in advance of them such an expression of tbe public opinion In every locality as would leave no doubt as to tbe choice of the people for President, and thus, as it were, give embodiment to the general public sentiment ouUide of party men, and force the nomination of General Graut upon any polltl calconvenMon that might be held, either by He publicans or Democrats. The names of the various persons to whom he would address tbiscircularco tld be obtained from the list of business friends and connec tions of the membersof the Committee through out the country, so as to embrace every person or Arm of Importance, exclusively of a busi ness character, hdding such others to the list as might be deemed useful with whom to open correspondence. Mr. Stewart, In expressing his views of the course to be adopted, remarked that it would be perceived be avoided all connection with mere .politicians, while at the git me time no cause was. given them for cora-i plaint. In thus acting like men of business, they would be showing their fellow-citizens every where that they had a decided preference tor General Grant as a safe man to trust as chief magistrate, and then, as business men, ask their commercial frleuds to come nut In publio meetings and do likewise. In this manner it seemed to him they would lead, and eventual ly control those who now control tbe people, aud produce a lasting benefit to the whole country, in addition to setting an example for tbe future wblen might well be regarded as the beginning of a system to end in the people ex pressing, in all cases, in-advance of conven tions, their choice for leading public offices and officials. . In accordance with these views. Judge Hilton submitted tbe form of a circular letter, which, after earnest speeches by Messrs. Grlnnell, Klurges, Garrison, Cochrane, Hilton, Cooper, Dodge, Chittenden, and Winston, received the approval of tbe Commiltte, and was referred for adoption and circulation to an Executive Committee of five members, composed of Henry Hilton, JVinses H. Grinned, C. K. Garrison, William K Dodge, and John Cochrane, who were also authorized to proceed in the manner suggested by:Mr. Utewatt, by engaging head quarters and committee roms, opening cor respondence throughout tbe country with tbe business connections of the various gentlemen comprising tbe committee, and all others dis pose J to join in popular demonstrations of like character to that had at the Cooper Institute, so as to present the name of Gene, al Grant as the nominee oi ine people. Until suitable quarters can be rented, the Executive Committee will meet at the office of Its Chairman, Henry Hilton, Mo. 202 Broad way. FIRES. Pes ruetlom off a.

A correspond ent of tbe St. Louis Democrat says: "It is ru mored that this coal will be subjected to a critical test, to ascertain its availability for foundry purposes. Should it prove success ful, it may be of great importance to your in dustrial pursuits, and of still greater benefit to enterprises situated in tbe 'Great West,' and more remote from the coal monopolies of the Eastern States." The Turkish Government Is trying to turn to account its forests and mines, but the want of means of communication in the inte rior is an almost insurmountable barrier. So in spite of the great mineral wealth of the country, no one will take the mines. One forest district in Bosnia has been however sold, and is expected to yield $100,000. FINANCE" AND COMMERCE.
