The third story of Spring Garden Hall, although a very capacious one, was dense ly filled on Tuesday evening, Oct. 27tb, in consequence of a public call sipied ly many citizens, for the purpose of effecting, by concert of action, a redaction in the present high prices of provisions. The meeting was called to order by Thomas L. Price, on whoso motion Col. Wm. English was called to the chair. Upon taking his position, the Chairman said, ho trusted whatever might be done by the meeting, would be in a spirit of harmony and good feeling. The following additional officers were elected : Vice Presidents Sam'l Wright, Aid. W. G. Conrow, W. Neal and John 0. Brenner. Secretaries Rob't Bethel!, II. G. Leisenring. Messrs. II. C. Peck, J. It. Garrigucs and E. S. Rowan were appointed a com mittee to prepare resolutions for the con sideration of tho meeting. The committee retired, when Mr. Price, being called npon, addressed the meeting. lie said the ob ject contemplated by the call of the meet ing was a purely practical one, as he was satisfied that the price ws now paid for provisions was much above what we were now able to pay, much above wbat they were worth, and muoh above what we will be able to pay in future. As an individ ual, he was in favor of any reasonable means by which the object could be ac complished. Edwin Booth said the remark that we have fallen upon fearful times has been so often said, that it now has become a truism. We have nothing to do with the causes, but it is enough for us to know that we feel the eff-.cts that bear heavily upon us. Everything has been reduced, 25 or 50 per cent., except provisions, and we are charged more than was asked a short time Disguise it as yon may, unlesj many of our industrious and worthy citizens are helped along this winter, starvation, will stare them in the face The committee returned and reported the following resolutions : Whereas, in the present prostrate con dition of the commercial and manufactur ing interests of tbis community, involving the suspension of man; of our leading nicr- chants, and tho closing of our workshops and manufnetfrics, whereby thousands, uose soie aepeouenee is their daily labor, And whereas, in consequence of tbis anusual and distressing state of affairs, a rapid depreciation in the value of mer chandise, of labor, and of property gener ally, has been and is now beiog experien ced, which depreciation appears not up to this time, contrary to all reasonable ex pectation, in view of the vast resources of the couutry, to have extended to the ne cessaries of life ; Aud whereas, it is evident that at the nresent hieh nricei of crovisiona. it will soon bo impossible for a large portion ol our people to procure tho comforts of life, aid that many aro threatened with actual ""'" specuy remcay ce maue. .i,...r.,. Rsok'cd( That it ia ,liko ,te iaty Bnd interest of each and every member of the community, to uuite their efforts in rcsis- ting the present extravagant prices of the leading articles of food, aud in securing a reductive in the cost of living correspond ing wuu tne decreased value oi otuer mer chandise aud of labor. Resolved, That, in tho judgment of this meeting, a material reduction in the price cf the leading articles cf food may be in a Jo, and still leavo to the producer a fair return for his labor and capital to demand more than which is neither wise nor just. Resolved, That in order to bring the prices of provisions to a fair standard, wo pledge ourselves not to pay more than the annexed prices for the following articles: Butter, per pound S5c. Beef. Uc. Veal, 10c. Toik, 10c Mntloa, M 6o. Potatoes, per bushel, eoc And in case of refusal on the part of the dealers to sell at the above rates, we do hereby pledge ovrsolvcs to each otber,and to the community, not to purchase the above named articles for the thirty days next ensuing. Resolved, that a committee of five citi Xens be appointed to take the necessary measures in procuring provisions in large quantities direct from the country, to be sold at cost prices to the consumer, and to report at an adjonrned meeting. Resolved, That we call npon the au thorities to strictly enforce the existing ordinances relative to hucksters and shin ners, snd that the citizens be nrged to purchase tbeir supplies as far as possible direct from the farmer and the butcher, aod that a certified copy of tbis resolution be forwarded to Councils. Resolved, That we eall npon the eitixens throughout the entire city and county to nnite with us in th support of the above resolutions. Mr. Frio hoped that a foil and free ex pression of epinioa would be given on the resolutions. Mr. Sailor moved to take np the resolu tions seriatim. Agreed to. W. B. Wbittaker said the crops of the single State of Illinois affordod eight bush els of grain to ever man, woman, and child in the United States. This, certain ly, wag a strong reason why provisions should be reduced. Be bad been inform ed that there was 40,000 head of cattle in the West, ready to be transported to the Atlantic ci'tes If 30 dvj will Bt a cooiplish our purpose, let a committee be sent West to purchase provisions. John Sailor said be bad never paid over 17 cent3 for butter, or 9 cents far beef.and he could not favor the resolutions, as they fixed the prices out of his reach. Amos Phillips was opposed to the reso lutions, and thought the best course to pursue was to ameliorate the condition of those industrious men who have no money. Mr. Psic said that if the price of pro. visions was brought down, we would be better prepared to contribute to the relief of the deserving poor, lie considered the resolution fixing prices, one of humanity. W. B. Thomas thought the practical effect of the resolution would be, just iu proportion aa this meeting represents the citizens of Philadelphia, just in that pro portion will you enhance the price of mar keting. The best policy was to go to a farmer and get a pair of chickens at 50 cents a pair ; do so, but keep it to your self, and give out that you intend to pay two dollars a pair the next time. Then the chickens will be rushed in, and you can lay them and butter at a small price. George Emeritk said that in six West ern States beef had been quoted within a week at 2) cts on the hoof. If the devil ish banks would not loan money to spec ulators, things would come down. j Rev. Mr. Torrence was prepared to en dorso the resolutions, and live on mush and molasses for thirty day. He thought the farmers within 25 miles of this city did not receive the prices the resolution affixed to provisions. A friend, who said he was a Delaware county farmer, stated that he could not make butter for 25 cts. and people would have to do without it before he would fur nish it at that price. A number of gentlemen spoke with much warm'.h for and against the resolu tions, but they were finally passed. Sun. LITTLE REUNHL In the little village school which I at tended in my childhood, there was one colored child, and only one. Being a round-faced, bright-eyed little thing, she was rather a pet among us. But in all sohools there are some vicious, ill-tempered children, and ours was not exempt One boy in particular seemed to take delight in tormenting everything within bis reach, whether it was a ahy cat, a stray dog or nie soon became the mark for his coarse and brutal jokes ; and lam sorry to say a good many boys and girls, not bad-tempered themselves, would Iaogb at his abuse. It was thoughtlessness and love of fun in them, but it was none the less torture to Reonio's sensitive little heart One day, when be bad been more teas ing than usual, during recess, little Ren nie came to two of us older girls as we were sitting under a tree. The great tears were rolling down her cheeks, and her breast heaved with convulsive sobs When she could speak, she said, "Oh, Mary Lee, if I were to have my skin all taken off, would it come out white ? If I only could be a white girl, I would have it all taken off, I would, I would," she added, with a fresh burst of tears. "Why,hat has made you feel so bad?" asked Mary Lee in bcr kind voice. "John Jones says I shall be a black nigger as long as I live, and that every body will laugh at me, and call me black Quashie, and I dou't wan't to be black all my life ; I want to be white like you." As the bell had just called us to return to school, we took Rennic's little brown band in ours, begged her not to cry, and assured her that we loved her, and always should if she was a good little girl. The tears of childhood are soon dried, and by noon Rennie's face was as bright as ever. It was the happiness of this dear child early to seek and obtain the white robe of the Saviour's righteousness by faith in him. Ten years after this, one summer after noon, Mary Lee, now grown into a kind kearted woman, called forme to go with her and see Rennie. It was a long dusty walk, but in time we reaohed the dwelling in which poor Rennie lay prostrated by sickness. Her eyes lighted np with plea sure as we entered. She had learned to love Jesus in health, and now his pres ence filled her soul with peace and joy. She knew she eould not live long ; but her trust in Him led her to look hopefully into the future. We felt that Rnnie was about to joiu the blessed ones before God's throne, and looked npon ber as one hap pier and better than ourselves. She ask ed me to read a chapter to ber, and Mary Lee sang that delightful hymn, " How sweet the name of Jesus sound," and we came away. "Do yon remember," said Mary Lee, as we walked homeward with hearts softened by the scene, " bow Rennie wished she oould be white one day at school?' "Yes," I said, "I was just thinking of it" "And now," said Mary Lee, "she will be a bright, beautiful spirit in heaven, and wear the white robe of the redeemed.

Wm.H SrWASD in opposition to the proposed allowance of Credit for Duties on Railroad Iron. It was delivered, March 1st, 1855, and fore tells tbis year's financial bis tot y with most fearful snd signal accuracy. We beg all who believe our bard times to be acciden tal, unaccountable, or unavoidable, to take into consideration the following thoughts from Got. Sew ami's speech. "Mr. President, we are told by the Hon. Senator from North Carolina Mr. Bad ger that we must adopt either the tariff project before us or his amendmenr,becaute the railroad interest requires relief. " This brings me back to the precise question which I discussed here a few days) ago. I think, Sir, that the restoration of the business of railroad building to healthy state requires ns either to leave it to work out its own cure, or else to adopt a remedy very different from wbat is here) proposed a remedy which will atimalato production of the raw material and of fabrics by manufacture. Anything short of this will fail to give any ton to thai general financial system of the country, now so much deranged. The troubles with which we are eoatending arose from excessive importations. The project be fore us tends to reduce duties, and so to) encourage and stimulate imports still more. It is a fever of which we arc sick. Yon propose to add fuel to the fluue that is consuming us. " Let vi look backward fur instructions. In 1S24, ly excessive importations, by an unexampled eyfirgement of credits, mt had brought on great JUeal embarrassments. Property of every kind teas depreciated ; everybody wanted relief loans ; credit teat, paralysed. 1 he Bank of the United Statem exerted ilielf and gave relief; the trisit) teemed to have been passed. Importation were immediately resumed, credit teas again expanded. Wheat rose to two dollars per bui&el ; prices of all descriptions if proper' ty were inflated. The rtiiff obtained teat only temporary. The entlarratsmentt of 1S3 1 returned in 1S37, aggravated tenfold. And then came that fearful cent uhion which carried distress and ruin throughout thit broad land distress and ruin from which Sirwe, in lioiljast passed ihrouyn, Vut premonitory symptoms tf a crvsJiing pres sure, which it to come on. in 1357, or torn year not long thereafter. Let not this bo thought strange. It is near twenty years since the last revulsion. Commercial re vulsions come once in twenty years. The circumstances of our condition now corre spond exactly with our condition previous to tho last revulsion. Government then refused to stimulate production by a tariff of protection, and, on the contrary, stimu lated importation. It went on to the hitter end. " Government refuses to stimulate pro duction now by a tariff for protection, and gives fresh impulse to importation. The results must, unavoidably, be the same. Those who think otherwise rely upon the fresh contributions to our currency which arc derived from the gold mines of Cali fornia. I grant that those contributions may delay a commercial revulsion for S time, and may modify and break its force when it shall have come. But they can neither postpone it indefinitely, nor can they break its force so that it will leave the country harmless. What will be the limits of the influence of those contribu tions upon commercial revulsions in mere speculation. After the severe revulsion of 1S37, produced by excessive importa tions, Government returned to a system of protection in IS 12, and so restored the prosperity of the country. We shall re turn to the same policy, for the same pur pose, in the present case. The only ques tion is, whether we shall adopt that policy as a preventive, or wait until the distem per has become otherwise incurable. I am for applying protection now. Never theless, I stand alone. Congress is not prepared to raise the duties upon imports. All that remains fur me is, to do all that -I can to prevent the reduction cf those duties." Settle Accounts. "Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him.' Men in every grade of life should take th) advice ef Solomon, the wisest of mortals, and not "make baste to be rioh." W have no doubt that our fast bankers, mer chants, mechanics, and brokers, have con tracted the habit of thinking thai Solo mon's wisdom was good enough for bin time, but not applicable to ours. Thoss who are "wise above what is written," sooner or later discover their mistake. The fast business men of our day have, with whip and spur, snd generally with a full purse, John Gilpin like, ridden almost to the toll gs'e of destruction. Bat, their well spurred horses have, aa by a piece) ef excellent fortune, (rather should we sayf by the interference of a kind Proidence, been stopped in their headlong prognK, so as to save the lire, if not the garments aud swL-y limbs of itc nf the fat driers.
