The Herald's account Of a meeting Of the

| We make some extracts:
| A special meeting of this COMMITTEES was
summoned 10 be held at 1 O'Clock T. NJ, yes.
! terdav, at the heac uarters, No 81 Pine St
| The attendance OF mem bers was at first so
| small th%t the number necessary to form a
! quorum could not be- got together. At about
2 O'Clock, however, The meeting went into
| session.
Some resolutions were then introduced by
| Simon Draper, after which
| Mr.. Marshall regretted that ther was not a
| larger meeting but at the same time most cor
l utally Ct;Ecufrpd In the Senti tho
| olutions, which, he said, conveyed the sent
| ments OF ninety-nin GU. OF every hundred
! citizens Of New York.
| Moses GrInnell, ESQ thought that New
| York was now as ready as ever she was TO nse
| means 10 put down this rebellion. 1t seemed
| TO him that the time had cone when the great

| belief that the result would ba 30 at first; but
| although = iamentable occurrence. IL had not
| discouraged him, nor did be sac any reason
| why it should discourage any one else.
Capt. Charles II. Marshall said he fully
eoncurTed in the spgges lion that it was the
