Boston, Mass, April 4.-The Anti-in-
fation mass meeting in Faneuil Hall this
evening was decidedly a success in point of
numbers and interest. The audience was
large, and there was strange mingling of
representatives from every department of
life The rich and poor the well-clad and
meanly-clad, the merchant prince and the
day-laborer stood side by side. 1t was
surprising to notice the interest manifested
by hundreds of those, the roughness of
whose garb and appearance would not be
thought to belong to fnanciers; an interest,
too, not forced by the eloquence of The
speakers, but that was felt in the subject
matter discussed. The applause from these
len was frequent, bu alway in time, and
in the appreciation of every good and even
delicate hint was shown an intelligence
hardly to be expected among them.
A resolution was adopted providing for
a committee to cooperate with committees
in other places to resist initiation and to
promote return to specie payment; also
one protesting that the hostility of Boston
and New England to the pending Congress
sonal measures does not arise from self
interest Charles Francis and John Quin-
cy Adams, and Robert c. Winthrop were
among the Vice Presidents.
After some further addresses on the
spirit of the resolutions, which were adopt
ed, the meeting adjourned.
