Board or Trade —Last evening the Board of Trade held a meeting at their room to dis cuss the resolutions to lie offered at the meeting of the National Board of Trade soon to be held at Chicago. The met ting was called to order b.v President Hersey, and C. H. Haskell, Esq. appointed Secretary pro tern. The Secretary theu read the resolutions to be discussed, which have been passed by the various Boards of Trade in the country. Mr. C. H. Barker inquired in regard to the resolution referring to the shipbuilding inter ests, and called upon Hou. John Lynch for an expression of his views upon tbe subject. Mr. Lynch responded at some length, of which the following is an abstract: The National Board of Trade urged upon the •ammittee in Congress of which he was a mem ber, the passage’of a law transferring foreign built vessels to the Amerieau flag, as a mea sure calculated to increase American tonnage. This had weight with Western members of the committee who represented sections wanting cheap freights aud having no interest iu ship building. It was with difficulty that the'com mittee -were induced to take adverse action against the iullueuce of the National Board of Trade. But after full discussion, the policy of aiding American shipbuilders to rebuild Amer ican shipping, and the adverse policy of patron izing foreign shipbuilders and employing them to replace the shipping which they had de stroyed, was defeated, and our shipbuilders and our shipowners took courage and again com menced the restoration of our shipping. It is not so much the relief afforded by the remis sion of duties as the confidence created by the defeat of the free ship policy that has revived shipbuilding in our State and through tbe country. No American shipowner, having no interests in foreign shipping, favors ihe admis sion of foreign ships to American registry. He referred to A. A Lmve, Mr. Buck of Maine, •and others, who appeared before ihe special committee of Congress, and who thought that the policy of admitting foreign ships to the privileges of our flag would destroy the Ameri can shipping, because the controlling interest would be owned abroad. The whole interest of building a ship, said Mr. Lynch, is divided among a large uurnber of men, owners, me chanics and others. The Williams & Grow line has but one American owner, who is the agent. It is the same with the Cuuard line. Our own builders have been ihe sufferers. Let such measures pass as will transfer foreign ves sels to our [jflag a; d our own ships will be crowded out of the business, especially coast wise, which Itheyjuow do, within a year. As one r-sult, freights would godown. He did not believe the Bsston Board of Trade resolutions represented the sentiment of the mercha .ts of that city. All Amerieau shipowners were op posed to it. Hou. C. P. Kimball coincided with the views of Mr. Lynch, and gave an able review of the effect of the passage of such a bill upon the shipbuilding interest, especially in our own State. Maine cannot prosper without ship builaing. Mr. Hersey, A. K. Shurtleff, Esq., and C. H. Haskell, Esq., expressed their views upon the subject. v/u motion oi i»ir. juyucu, me umuwiug a*w lutions, adopted by the Portland Board of Trade, March 17tb, 1872, were reaffirmed: Whereas, the oity of Portland abides with the State of Maine in protesting against a pol icy so fatal to not only the interests of this city and State, hut disastrous to the real interests of the whole country, as that proposing the pas sage of a law admitting foreign ships to Amer ican registry, believing that nothing could be more disastrous to the shipping and commerce of Maine; therefore. Resolved, That the Board of Trade of the city of Portland, representing the business interests of the chief commercial metropolis of the Stale of Maine, hereoy enters its solemn nrotest, so calculated to prostrate one of the largest aud most important business interests of the coun try, and which would be a virtual surrender of our National commercial aud maritime inde pendence, and a humiliating confession of Na tional weakness that we as a patriotic people are not prepared to accept. Resolved, That with such National relief as cau be afforded by judiciary legislation of Con gress. in arranging for a drawback on materials entering into ‘the construction of vessels, we can compete with any other nation in the budd ing of ships, and with such relief our depleted merchant marine will soon be restored. The subjoined resolutions were also passed: Resolved, That the Board reaffirms its convic tion that all capitation taxes collected from or upou immigrants, whether imposed directly or indirectly, w ith or without color of law, ‘are un just aud odious, and ought to he abolished. Resolved, That we recommend the renewal of trade relations, on a reciprocal basis, between the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The meeting then adjourned. City Allair*.

Boston, Sept. 29.—The National Bank Ex aminer has discovered a defalcation in the Hingham National Bank of 810,000, and has closed that institution. The failure of this bank is in no wise connected with the panic. It is solely from the defalcation of Mr. Lovett, the cashier, who has appropriated more than §40,000 of the hank’s money for speculative purposes. Under ordinary circumstances the bank could get rediscount and proceed with their business, hut at this time that is an im possibility. Hank Examiner Needham, at the request of the directors of Hingham National Bank makes the following statement: The loss by the defal cation of J. C. Lovett, cashier, will amount to about §41.000. To meet the liabilities of bill holders and depositors the bank has deposited at Washington §140,000 and holds notes and other securities to the amount of §238,000, a large per centage of which will ultimately be realized on. The deposits and circulations amount to §211,500. There can be no question but that all the creditors of the bank will be paid and a large per centage of the original in vestments returned to stockholders. (Signed,) Daniel Needham, Natioual Bauk Examiner. Lovett is about 05 years old, and has been cashierever since the bank was established. A'alal Accident. W. H.

The Plague Stricken City. Terrible Destitution at Shreve port. A Cry for Aid Scut Forth. Shreveport, La., Sept. 2!).—'Within the last four days several of the most prominent and useful citizens of Shreveport have fallen vic tims to the epidemic. The population is fear fully thinned out by sickness and death. We uo longer have funerals. The hearses followed b.v one or two carriages dash through the streets like a section of artillery in battle, seeking a position. Then a few more hearses are drum med np, coffins shoved into hearses and driven rapidly to the cemetery. This is the case even with tlie most promiuent citizens. The How ards have opened an orphan asylum and are feeding about two-tbiids of tlie resident popu lation. Tuere are fewer deaths and new cases because there are fewer people. The physicians appointed a committee last week to investigate tiie origin of the epidemic, aud evidence has already been collected showing beyond a doubt a question that the fever was imported here from Cuba. Drs.Chapin, Hurmaud Davidson, who are here from New Orleans, are fully sat isfied on this point. The Shreveport Times of to-morrow will con tain the following appeal, which the Howard Association earnestly requests the press of the country to publish: To our fellmv citizens: Yellow fever, ar. epidemic which has already swept away more than 400 of the community, is still raging with unabated tury in our midst. We have now at least 700 sick, of all ages, sexes colors and nationalities, all or whom from the peculiar character of the disease require con stant and skilful nursing. In addition to this there are hundreds left without a cent aud with out employment. Amongst these are many women and little children. All must for the present be provided for and fed by the Howard Association, for there is no work to do and no money. The destituliou in our midst is as heartrending as the disease itself, and there is a fearful number of deaths. The drain upon the funds of the Association has thus far been enormous, and tbe liberal aid sent us by our sister cities nearly exhausted. Under these painful circumstances we are forced to make this general appeal to the country for aid. We have people amongst us suffering in wart aud dy;ng, from all sections of tbe Union and from all nations, and we feel that tbe great heart will respond to this appeal, extorted by a most dire necessity. Our own resources a:e nearly ex hausted. The wealthy are broken down aud tho poor are threatened with actual starvation. The sick that are dying are about to be deprived of the commonest comforts humanity can offer them. We a ppeal not to our fellow country, aut to our fellow man for aid. (•Signed,) L. E. Simmons, President Howard Association; D. P. Martin, Vice President; D. C. Fenner, M. D.; Thomas G. Allen, M. D.; J. S. Cutleff, M. D.; Nicker son Dalsell, M. D.; George A. Pike.
