RIVER I,pRoyFafhErs AIERftNd.-The

OF the river improvement meet
ing, Saturday evening, was not what it
should have been, considering the magni.
tude oTsthe subject 70 our eitizeps Hon!
Thos. Sweeney was called 70 preside; o.
s. Long, OF the Register, was elected Sec
rotary. gsa Itr
The object Of the meeting was stated
by Mayor Jeiers. BE had received d
communication from Cincinnati urging
this city 70 send delegates 70 o convention
70 be held there on the Goth inst. to con.
slider the subject oflmproying the nAyiga.
tlonOf the!o Ohio river. Wheeling wasen.
ihled to Eve. deIegatesunder the prescrib.
Cd superintendent, aud each Insurance
company to one.
MIR. Tihgle "a. T } regretted to see SO
few Of our citizens IN attendance, and
chArilably attributed tito o lack Of inIors
nation on the subject, The President
thought d committee should be appointed
towait on our people with petition, or
other mode, ascertain their views
on the question, and report at an adjourn.
cd meeting.
/ MI. Reilly expressed his surprise that
those who arc perhaps moro deeply inter.
ested in the improvement Of theriverthan
any other class ofour citizens, viz: Steam.
boatmen, had not a single representative
present at the meeting. Our. city has not
yet grown independent d means OF com.
municstion with other parts Of the coun-
try, We must have railroads, and the
river should be improved so that we may
send our productions where they are
needed, and receive in return what our
necessities demand. Hemade the motion
that when this meeting adjourn 1t be to
meet at the court house next Monday
(this) evening. rs
Mr.. Reilly's motion was adopted.
Mr.. Botsford stated thdt a meeting Of
the several insurance companies in the
city was desirable, SO that they might aci
in concert with the manufacturer, mer.
and al others interested. He
therefore requested each insurance com.
pany TO send representatives to q meeting
to be held next Monday (this) afternoon
at 8 o'clock, at the office OF the National
Insurance Company, on Market street.
The meeting then adjourned.
1t is hoped by the friends Of the inn
provement of the river project that there
will be a large attendance at the Court
House this evening, It is supposed thai
the convention to meet in Cincinnati will
memorlalizs Congress. and the result may
beof vast Importance to the general basi
ness interests Of our city. II capitalist
could be assured of uninterrupted navi
cation Of the river nine months in the
year, there is scarcely a doubt but thai
our unsurpassed manufacturing advan.
tages would be speedily brought into
requisition. 9.1i- ~ r'
