TOWN -OUIFETING Pursuant to public notice, a very hirge meeting of the citizens of Pittsburgh and, vicinity assembled in the Diamond. . The meeting was organized by calling his-Honor the Mayes to the chair, end appointing - G. W.: Jackson, Hon. W. Pester, and CoL 'W. Robinson, Vice Presidents. John Wynne and John T. Whitten, Seeretaries. The chuirmin then stated the object of the meeting. Col. Robinson then read the following letter, which nas adopted by the meeting: His Excellency, FRASCIII R. SIIIINK, Dear Sir We implore you,in behalf of a mined city, in behalf of the thousands of helpless women and children, in the name of the Moss HIGH, and for the sake of every humane and benevolent emotion of the beast of man, to extend by the interposition of autbority vested in the Executive, the session of the Legistature, now drawing to a close, in order that the condition of this suffering and prostrate people may be laid before the general assemelv for the purpose of considering such suggestions for their relief as we cottfidently trustiwill meet the prompt and willing assent of the constituted authorities of the State. On motion of Col Robinson, the chairman appointed The following persons as a committee to memorialize the legislature, and to take into consideration all other measures calculated 'to benefit the sufferers. Hon Wm Porter, Hon R Bidd e, Dun Hoe. o Esq., Hon B. Patton, Col IV Robinson, Thos Bakewell, Hon R C Grier, S Magraw,Esq., GeoMiltenberger and Thos Williams, Esq. T Williams, Esq. then read the following address, which was unanimously adopted: To a, Honorable the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the Commonwealth. of Pentatylvania. The people of Pittsburgh, in Town Meeting assem bled, respectfully represent, that in the midst of their prosperity and security they have been overwhelmed bye catastrophe which has no parallel in the annals of this Country. The scourge of fire, in its direct form, has been upon them. The sun of Thursday, the 10th inst., which, on the morning of that day, looked down upon their streets on one unbroken scene of industry, of animation and of hope, threw its lan parting rays at eve over a picture of widespread desolation and de -1 spair. A hurricane of flame swept over their devoted Town, and so rapid—so irresistable—so overwhelm ing was its career that before night-fall—before its in habitants had leisure tocollect their faculties, or real ize the imminency of their peril, one third of their Ci ty, comptishag a vast population and an incalculable amount of wealth, was in ruins. They are yet scarce ly able to estimate the extent of the awful visitation which they have experienced. Enoejh, however, is known, to ennhle them to state that millions of property have perished in the confla gration. The houses of a thousand families have be desolated, end the inhabitants, in nearly every instante, stripped of their- all, and left without scarcely a gar ment to cover their nakedness, and without a roof to shelter them from the winds of Heaven. The rich and the poor have alike participated in the common calamity. Hundreds, who were surrounded with all the comforts and luxuries of life, on the morning of that fatal day: might have been seen, wandering at night, by the glare of the dying embers titalpsir late happy habitations, in search, perhaps, ofsbeir 'wives and children; and almost, if not altogether, without the means of purchasing even a CI ust of bread to supply their wants. Nothing—not even a vestige 4 1 01 th at t h e y pos.. ' seamed a few bouts before, save life itself, has been se ved, in one out an hundred cases, frosts the general ruin—and even that has been is some instances lost, and in some preserved, but by a precipitate flight from their burning dwellings. They were scarcly e ven allowed the nielarchoiy privilege of looking back' upon their tottering walls as they f1..-d before the breeth of the devouring element. If their calamity had been a partial one, the unassis- fed energies of our people would perhaps Lave ensur ed an early and On Ctllal remedy. Its eiferts, howeve r , are diffused so widely beyond the visible range of the 1 immediate disaster itself, and must necessarily so deep. I ly disturb the existing relations anti resources of our whole people, that they cannot but feel a conviction of their own present comparative helplessness and ineffi ciency under the astounding effects of so awful and un expected a visitation. They can do much, it is true, to alleviate private distress—little, however, torestort the sufferers or repair the ruin which is wound them. if their city is to rise again from her ashes within the course of another generation. it must be through the. instrumentality of other means than can be afforded from her own wasted resources. Under these circumstances, therefore, in view 'ttf the important and intimate relation which the people of Pittsburgh occupy towards the parent Commonwealth, and of the deep and vital injury which it must sustain from tho desolation of one of Its fairest cities as well as of the ample power of its Legislature to in terpose effectually in this great exigency for their relief, we have thought it fitting to invoke their aid in behalf of the suffering and destitue of our people. That they can do much is unquestionable. That they will I do all which they can accomplish, within the range of theirconstitut loved capacity, for such a purpose as this, , we will not permit ourselves to doubt. They may, we think, aid us both indirettly and di-1 reetly by such legislation as will be entirely consist ent with the present exhausted condition of the public finances. We will not, however, undertake to advise as to the specific means of relief. That we submit to their wisdom entirely to determine, and we according- : ly leave the whole matter to their hands. with the full assurance that a paternal government will nut be found wanting to its cbildren in the day of their extreme ' and unprecedented calamity. On motion, Resolved. That the farmers, millers, and agriculturists, of the surrounding country be re quested to send to the Mayor of Pittsburgh, such do nations of provisions or money as they may feel dia.., posed to give towards the alleviation of the sufferers. Oa. motion, Resolved, That the above committee be enabled to appoint sub-:ommittees to aid them, to ' put into execution such measures as may be adopted to carry out the object of the meeting. The old court house was then fixed upon as a de pot at which the Mayor should receive the donations of our fellow citizens from the country.

Newark Advertiser 54. Dreadful Disaster on the Hudson. LOSS OP STEAMER. SWALLOW. The N Y News of the 9th sags: Great excitement prevailed to the city yesterday, in consequence of the account brought down the North river in the morning by the steamers Rochester and Express, that the steamer Swallow had struck on a rock near Athens, and sunk, probably causing the drowning of several persons. At the time of going to press this motniag we have not any patticutar accounts from the scene of this dreadful accident, but the morning's boats will probably bring accurate information. The Swallow left Albany at the usual time, with, it is supposed, about three hundred and fifty souls on board. The night was pitchy dark, and the pilot be. coming beariideml, steered the boat so that she ran at the tap of her speed full on a shelve of rocks near Athens. The following, letter. ncidressed to the editor of the Tribune, published in the evening paper yesterday, Lives art appalling description of the scene: ST, AMER ROCRESTIM. Tuesday, 3 A M. Mr Dr•R FRIEND.—Yon may value a few lines from an eye witness, descriptive of the 'terrible acci dent which befell the Swallow last evening. A t about 8 o'clock, when going at a rapid rate, the boat struck on a small rock island abreast the town of Athens, and the city of Hudson. I was sitting in the upper saloon in conversation. At the first severe shock the passengers rushed below, but fears were calmed for a moment by the otrcry that we had only come in con tact with a raft. But our ears were speedily assailed by the appalling sounds of the rending of timbers, and the evident destruction of the boat; while the stern settled with frightful rapidity. Those who had"turn ed iu" in the after cabin, had barely time to leap from their berths, before the water was upon them. Yin can imagine the horrors of the scene at this moment, when more than three hundred souls were thus exposed in the midst of falling snow and almost utter darkness. As the water reached the boiling fires, • sheet of mingled steam, smoke end flame poured into the boat, illuminating the ghastly counte nances w ith a sudden glare of vivid light, and com pleting the consternation. The conviction that the cut se of fire was to be added to our other imminent perils, curbed the resolution of the stoutest hearts. But the rapid sinking of the boat extinguished the fires, and ell was darkness again. In less than five mihutes, by the blessing of God, the stern rested on the bottom, the water being above the windows of the aft saloon state rooms Several females were drawn out of state rooms by dashing in the windows; two almost exhausted—one very aged, and now lying on this boat in a precarious situation— were takenfrom the ladies' cabin by cutting through the floor. They had sustained themselves on settees, with only a few inches of breathing room for their faces. The bow had been forced high and dry upon the rock, and the boat, split open amidships, was left rising al most perpendicularly upward, covered with anxious beings clinging to the bulwarks. The remainder of the passengers were sadly grouped on the forward up. per deck, many bewailing theabsenee of dear comport tons, and actuated by the most dreadful apprehensions for their fate. By this titno the alarm had been thoroughly commit. nicated to the shore on either side. The bells of the churches began to ring, and tho river was soon covered with torches, waving in the fleet of boats that put off to our assistance; while the Rochester, which had found it difficult to get to us, and the Express, which had no N come up, were gradually approaching alongside. The sound of the bells pealing on the air, the shouts of those in the boats, the light of the waving torches, and the wailing grief of many on the wreck, constituted the features of this most impressive scene. In the course of an hour, all were taken off who re mained in the Rochester, the past seeming likes terri ble dream. lam approaching the city. It can Scarce ly but be that several are lost. Many leaped immedi ately overboard, in that pbrenzy of mind which pre cluded self-preservation in the water. The doors of! most of the state rooms were so sprung at once, as to be immovable, and examination will probably discover the dead within some of them. I can scarcely hope otherwise. . -, Z . f" , :_ , •.,: i,'t-Ilii‘‘i.,4:lll%. .

Then the Nativist* lalt, to the Whigs only an Assessor in the Second Ward, to mooch* the bitterness of defeat. We bays now al imed. them, the Natives, but a claim to a constable in the same Ward, nominated mid elected by thejaiat aerials of the Whigs and Nativists. Tbit may be considered' equal to about one-half of a trophy. Then lbw Nati*. lets had to yield to us fire and a half wards; now we allow to them not one, and to the whirs cob two wards;, Then Harper's majority was near 4000, now Massif meyer's approaches to 7000, 'hewing a gain am the popular vote of over 10,000. Haveranyer's mmajerhy over geld= is about 16,000. Indeed, thoreeasyme lacks but a few hundred rotes of having a majority over Selden and Harper combined. The late hour to which we have been detafied by our extraordinary efforts to procure full returns in season for this morning's paper, forbids any cloinmant to-day on this splendid triumph.
