MEETING OF THE CoAcHMAKRRs.-An ad-
journed meeting of the Journeymen Coach
makers Society was held last evening at the
'Delmonico," to take into consideration the
the President, Mr.. ID. d. Clark, in the chair,
and James f. Crown secretary.
The committee appointed at the last meeting
to confer with the bosses in reference to an
increase of wages, reported that they had had
conference with some of the bosses, but NO
definite Arrangement was made. The committee
the demands of the society were reasonable the
bosses would willingly pay the increase.
The order of the eveniug-the consideration
OF the resolutions offered at the last meeting
was taken up, the question being on the resoIu-
ton OF Mr.. Irving, offered es a substitute re-
questing the bosses to raise all wages below
two dollars per day to that sum- above that
sum, an advance of ten per cent; piece workers
to regulate their own prices, according to the
qnality OF the work. leaving it optional with
those whose wages have recently been raised
whether they make the demand or not, and re-
questing an answer on or before the 23d inst
Mr.. Irving said that some thought that ten
per cent. was not enough advance but it should
be recollected that the wages of nearly every
workman had been advanced within the past
TWO years and that the society was in its in
fancy and therefore could not well sustain q
strike. He believed that but few if any of the
members wanted a strike
Mr.. Mason moved to amend the resolution
by inserting IS per cent He thought 10 per
cent was entirely too small an advance, and
he believed that the bosses would give the
former as willingly the latter.
Mr.. CLARK Mr.. Brooks in the chair was in
favor Of the 10 per cent demand and thought
that the bosses would refuse to pay any more
The society should act with caution, and not
make demand which would cause a strike.
The bosses had thus far acted well with the
men, and had increased their pay so that now
the inferior hands receive Sl2 per week, while
two years ago the best did not receive above
that sum.
MIR. Mason did not think the demand for Is
per cent. would cause strike.
Mr.. Clark stated that its feet would be to
drive man ufacturing out of the city.
Mr.. Mason said that most of the work was
repairing, which could not be driven out.
MIR. Clark replied that great amount of new
work is being made here, and he hoped nothing
would be done to compel bosses to go to deal
ing in Northern work in preference to having
their work done under their own eyes.
Dir. Mason's amendment to insert Is per cent.
was lost
The resolution OF Mr.. Irving was adopted.
After the transaction Of some unimportant
business, the meeting adjourned.

WVsHINGToN, March II.
There is the best authority for saying
that no National Bank has been author
lied to receive subscriptions on account Of
the National 10-40 loan. Letters are in
preparation, and will be forwarded to
all National Banking Associations which
have been qualified and designated as de-
positories and financial agents, suthoriZ-
ing them to act as agents in receiving
subscriptions for the ten. forty loan. The
compensation allowed is one-fourth per
cent, out Of which the cost Of advertising
and all other expenses Of obtaining sub
scriptions must be betrayed.
Governor Brsmlette, Of Kentucky, and
ex-senator Dickson, Of the same State, are
still here. Their being with the President
is in regard to tbe draft. Those who profess
to be we'll acquainted with that subject
confidently say that no diiculty is sppre
hended in the execution Of the draft un-
der this amendstory enrolment act, in
that State, and that all proper measures
will be taken by the government to pre-
vent military excesses or any contrsven-
ton Of the rights Of citizens; and, more
over, they assert that Kentucky will fuc-
nish her full quota with prOmptness un-
der the draft.
For several days past our streets have
been more than ordinarily lively with the
movements Of troops Of all kinds.

A special 10 the Commercial dated Wash

The Secretary of State is undoubtedly
in favor Of an immediate and energetic
demonstration against the evident de-
signs Of the Mexican empire, and the
French in connection with the great re-
bellion. 1t is TO be regretted if such 8
demonstration is really to be made, that
it has been postponed until the moment
when its only effect must be to precipitste
US into fresh and most dangerous oompli-
cations.
The presence of feet Of nine CT ten
French frigates off the mouth Of the Rio

visei by telegraph this morning, has q
large significance in connection with this
question.

The Irish Emigration 20 the United States
The Cork Examiner gives remarkable
description Of the emigrsnts who are still
leaving that port in large numbers for the
United States. 1t says there are among
them some old people and young children,
but the bulk are stalwart young men, full
Of health and vigor, and young women
gaudily dressed, but their bad taste can
conceal their beauty, the activity, the
bounding health for which the Irish peas
ant girl has been 30 remarkable. Among
them all there is scarcely one to be seen
poorly sttired. The goods of each party
show that q small farmer house hold has
been broken up. Though hundreds have
OF times to wait week at Queenstown for
the steamer, there is very little drunken
ness among them, and seldom "spree 4"
though they are noisy enough sometimes.
The Examiner thinks that few Of the emil
grants sre recruits; there is none Of the
swsgger which so commonly betrays the
aspirsnts for glory and bounty. It is true
the passage is paid in many cases with
American money, but it is with the money
Of their relatives to whom they are going.
The Examiner denies that federal recruit
ing is in any important degree the stimu-
lous to Irish emigration, and adds:
| at arises out Of the condition Of the
country and the da1Siing, If not trust
worthy, prospects held out by the labor
market Of the Northern States" 1a'

orphan children of soldiers or sailors.
Instructions have been finished and is
sued to the several National Banks au-
thorized to act as depOsitsries Of public
monies, for receiving subscriptions to the
new 10 40 loan, and they will be prepared
to take them as soon as these instructions
reach them by mail. These bonds are not
yet issued, and are not expected to be
ready before at least the fourth of April.
Certificates Of deposit will be given, how
ever, at once, and the earliest subscribers
will Of course get bonds first, at present
prices. The gold interest on these bondsf
amounts to about eight per cent. Itis ex-
pected that the conversion Of currency in
to these bonds will have some effect in di-
minisbing the present plethora Of the
money market. Judging from the begin
ming already made, sales will be more
rapid than in the case of the fve-twenty
bonds. On the first day they were adver-
tised, and before any arrangement for the
proposed agencies for distributing thems
had been made, the sales amounted to
nearly million of dollars; viz; in or
ders from New York, S75 600; from Phila-
dslphis, S54, $500 and from Washington,
81, 900.
Governor Brsmlette, Mr.. Archibald and
Mr. Dixon from Kentucky are here, and
had an interview with the President this
morning, on the commotion in Kentucky.
Governor Bramlette's talk is not near SO
belligerent here, as. it was in Kentucky,
about the time he was preparing his sup
pressed proclamation.
No trouble is now apprshended and no
concessions will be made unless the Presi-
dent changes his ground.
COLONEL wooDFoRD.
Colonel Woodford of Kentucky, was
reported dismissed from the service few
days ago for his crazy speech at Lsxing-
ton. II really dismissed, he was again
restored, and is now under orders for
service on the recommendation Of General
Grant. 1t is bat proper to say that the
authority for sttributing his restoring to
Grants service is the Presidents own
statement.
