From the Daily Advertiser, of Nov. IL.
In pursuance Of public notice, meet
ing Of the citizens Of this city, was held at
the City Hotel, in Broadway, last eve-
ming. The time mentioned in the adver-
tisements was seven O'Clock; and within
q few minutes after that hour, the As
sembly room was full almost to overflow
ing. Rarely on any public occasion have
we Witnessed larger or more respectable
assembly. The meeting was organized
by the unanimous choice of General
MATHEW CLARKsoN, as chairman. and
JoHs T. IRVING, Esq. as secretary.
The city recorder, the Hon. Peter A.
Jay, then rose and addressed the meeting
in 40 able, interesting, and highly impress
sive speech, in which he discussed aud
established, by serses Of clear and CO.
gent reasoning, the undoubted right Of
Congress, under the Constitution, TO limit
the existence Of Slavery, and TO insist on
a prohibition 10 the constitutions OF the
states hereafter to be formed against its
admission into sach states-and he then
went into train Of interesting and en-
phatic remarks on its character and Con-
sequeoces--its injustice and inhumsnity
its immoral and irreligious character and
tendency ;--and concluded by moving a
number OF resolutions for the considefa-
tion and adoption Of the meeting.
He was followed by John T.. Irving,
Esq. who in an aoimaied and feeling
manner, depicted 10 glowing celors, the
nature and consequences Of slavery, es.

THE FIRE.

Wilmington has experienced more aw-
ful calamities by fire, than almost any 9th
err place in the Union. Thrice, within
twenty years, has this devouriog element
laid to ashes The abodes Of her inhabitants.
Enterprise, industry, and the assistance
of her neishbors, gave her, measurably,
iresuscitation, until the recent pressure OF
the times Blended her down almost to the
sinking point. Embarrassments, 10 pc.
cuniary matters, had reached that state
which appeared to battle relief. Sickness
and death followed in the melancholy
