States Marshal Rvnders last, bot not least among
them-had consultation at the Collectors pri-
waite office, relative to the retention Of the United
states troops in the Custom House.
1.-The opinion was unanimous that their pres
ence was needed no longer, and, in short, that
the talked of attack and seizure upon the Govern
m.nt specie was not at all likely to be attempted
An order was AZ cordingly given to the officers in
command OF the troops to withdraw them from
the Custom house, and return TO thei' respective
headq sarters at the Navy Yard and Governors
Island.

The hungry meetings have extended to New
ark and Philadelphia, but are in a much more
| moderate tone than here, owing to the better
feeling and better sense manifested by Mayor
Vaux in the last named city. The resolutions
adopted in Philadelphia were follows:
"R,solred, That we meet together to devise
means for our mutual relief, and for the relief of
wives and children.
" Resoired, That will not stand by and
hear our children crying for bread, without the
means of relieving the cravings of nature at a
abundance of all the necessaries of life"
resolution was adopted thanking Mayor
Saux Ter the course recommended by him in his
late message TO Councils
From all accounts, Philadelphia is about as
badly of as New York letter on the subject

| master General, contains the following:
Senator RiUler has wrirten mo tb,, ba no,,o-
witnessed so sad prospect for the laboTers and
mechanics of PhladeI phia, as at present. and
concluded by saying ''that immediate commence
ment OF the work would afford employment to
many laborers and mechanics who would in this
way, be enabled to maintain their families du-
ring the winter. Nothing short of insur-
mountabte obstacle should. therefore, Il seems TO
me, delay the work longer

gloomy anticipations, and, like these gentlemen

through which they have to pass the coming
winter.
