Shortly after 11 o clock amne seventy five or one hundred gentlemen bad aissem Med representing various interests and branches of the ?rade The bnUsi vh called to order by Mr. Rnnutk >*m of the firm of Kecknagle and Schwab, 4A Cedar street, who nominated Mr. H B. ttaMTK. of the tins of Mew*. Haskell Merrick K Bull, No. 44 Cedar street as Chairman, and Mr lliw, ?r the Brm of Myer* fc Ttoan, ? H?"rty street as Secretary The Chairman, on taking hi? neat. krieCy returned thanks for the honor conferred on him, and then called on Mr. Reoknagle to <*plam the object* for which the meeting had been called. Mr Rkxxagu accordingly proceeded to state that the meeting had been called in order that an open And fair ex press ion of tbe views of those engaged in the drug basi net* might be bad with respect to the propriety and Tea sibUMy , at the present time, of recommending a shorten ing of the credit system from six mouths to any other pe noii whH'b might be thought proper by a majority or be persons engaged in the business. The immediate ob *ct of the call for the meeting at the present time was Mainly attributable to the severe financial and commercial crisis through which the country bad just passed, and which had uot yet quite spent it# fury. He thought that if tbe busiaess of tins country bad been on a cash basis, mstead of the credit system, the merchants throughout Lb* country would not have suffered half as much as ^,ey ETve done, nor would there have been halt the anxiety on tbeir minds as there bad been during th? two or three last Mtta JU ? was at present, mutt of the dealer. seek to %??cm credit atone, wtilch render, business much worse for the importers tlian it would otherwise be; but the im^ sorters of course, did not sutler as much from this evil ST u'e jobbers did, as they in dearly every case H4*li their goods to the jobber for city paper, but the job ^ u ho <t< al with country merchant* are in turn com Sounder the present system, to sell their good, in S^n for country jiper. which they were frequently com ^ed trough 'uHM-ssity to re dp * at maturity. He thought tti fhepr.lent wa., therefore, the proper time to ej&ct tmnrovement so ardently desired anions all class* * ol dealers in the city, if atany time They all knew that the business of the jobber will not sustain him unless he can procure his returns in time to meet his own engage ments consequently they were often obliged u? resort to SSr means in order to meet them, unless they were ah e J^nro. ure an extension of time on their paper. Especially srsrsrss like the present. 1 have no ESbuhere were some who did not s?B-r as much as th<?T neighbors in <-OD*e?iuonce of this system . and there ? 7?u" rry to say. some gentlemen who were of .hat this nbiect could not be carried out. but he thought it rather surprising that they could for a moment SSf so f? all could not help but know that there were ?ant difficulties, losses and disadvantages *?'n* from" a long credit svstom. which could not be the . as. . to ^considerable extent, if that system were reduced to a short lierKKl? say four instead of six month-, lor a man who is able to procure a long credit is much more apt to bu% up a larger amount of goods at a time than lie really want* orwmild.werc he confined U. a short pernio ?.t his engagements . and hence most Invariably he would b. more prompt w;ih his payments. It therefore m,, ck b m vcrv forcibly that there ought to be some re TJctKin in the credit -ystcm It could not be necesnary to establish, or attempt t*> establtah. a cash basis, but he tho. glii that tbe country wa.- now able to i>a\ on .borter cr<-dfts and with much more regularity than it ha^ lher< i to fcirr for whereat it had once been comparatix elj [>ooi an Ujinivsettled.it had now incr< ased in both wealth and not .ulation. so that at lh?> present time it was one of. if noi wraUhiest country in the world, and if there ever Was a turn when it was prepared to establish aoash batis. U certainly was the present. was aware, a.so that the rreat majority of the Jobbers, .is. in fact. ol the importers and wholesale dealers in the city, were in favor Of much AortercrediVs.it it could be brought about and ?arr ed ?v. There were some who urge that the Western dealer will not be able to buy ou four months, because it takes so lont a t ltu * I f 1 r the g ?>ds to r'-ach their destination after th"v are purchased in New York: that a shorter time than ?tt months would ruin them but h.' thought that a man living a long dietance away from the city bad no more r.ght to demand long credit, tlian any other nersoc It rested w :th th. m to mak- tlo-ir eng.ig.-m. uts m ac-ffdaii. e with the dutance they lived i rom this city : and he. for one dul not see w hy they should be allowed nxi.. privilege# than near by customers. Buyers from a distance were the .*.?? to test the means to pay for the external loss of time in tranxport.ng their g<s>d*. U a K.w York dealer went to Europe to buy anything, tbe dr.* r there will not entertain for a moment any sugges. %K>n or plea from him to make an allowance of time ui wlmh to meet hi- engagements and pay tor the goods, in eminence of the l< ng distance they had to be trans^ ported before tliev became available to the purchaser and L, did iiot ?? e why they a? New York merchant-, should make a tl fleren. e of time lor Western merchants He tboucbt. therefore. It tta?y went to work at <mw? ?*??? pr?

KIR*. A general meeting of all persons friendly to the estab lishment of a chapel in Paris for the benefit of American citizens visiting or temporarily residing tn that great city, was held last evening in the Mercer street Presbyterian church Tbe occasion was one of unusual interest, aa tt was known that Rev. I>r. Kirk, who has recently returned from Paris, would be present, and would communicate some interesting information es pee ting the commence ment, progress, (present condition and pros pects of the work, and also of the religious condition of Central and Southern Europe. The church wax crowded. and the proceedings were listened to with the deepest attention. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Bangs, of the Methodist church; after which Rev. I>r. Kirk was introduced, and addressed the audience substantially as follows:? It was, be said, pecu liarly pleastn* and gratifying to know that the Scriptures were more generally read throughout France than for merly. The influence of evangelical religion was rapidly extending, and a day of hope was dawning on the French people Yet, with all this influence, with all this extension of evangelical religion, it was much to be deplored that in many instances it was difficult to prevent the trades people from working on the Sabbath. This was found to be the cage in regard to the erection of a church, the men insisting upon beiDg employed on Sunday. The difficulty, however, was met at last and remedied ? the men were paid for ceasing from labor on that day. It was, in fact, found almost impossible to impress the French populace witfi an idea of the sanctity of the Sabbath. Yet they wen a fine people, trunk, simple, kind hearted, and where under the influence of true religion, they were almost everything that oould be desired. Thus much for the evangelization process among them, and now for the csUblit- luncnl of a church for Americans in Paris. The idea of erecting such an editlce originated with the speaker in 1KJ0. but he w .is at first in doubt as to whether lus field of labor lay in that city or in America. He was uot long, however, in deciding that the interests of religion demanded his exertion- and energy in Paris, and under that conviction he entered upon the work there. He had ascertained that the num ber of American visiters and residents in that capital was largely increasing, and of the latter no less than two hun dred ami fifty were students. In view of these facts he considered himself not only justified but bound by his religious obligations to prosecute the work in which he had eugaged. He regretted, however, to say that his efforts were met with coldness and discouragement by those who should have co operated with him. He endea vored to ariuii-e the religious feeling and respect of the Americans in Paris, and although he had succeeded yet the first he met threw cold water on bis endeavors < >11 conversing with Americans upon the subject lie was di reeled to llr Rv ans. who he was told had au interest in a church which nnght suit his purpose.-. The church was or guially the property fit Mr Luwombe, by whom it had been erected :uid who was desirous of connecting it with the Hrttish embassy. The building was some time after V ted for sale, and Kr Kvans offered to purchase it, ! British portion of the community were opposed to the .isposal oi it m this manner, on the ground that it was the property of the British government. I'nder theg.- cir cunisiances it was impossible at the time to arrive at any conclusion , at least until the arrival of the siieaker (I?r. Kirk) hi Paris. <>u his reaching thai < ity he had an inter view with l/ord Cowley, who Informed him of the state of leelmg on the subject entertained by the British commu nity. I/ird Cowley expressed his belief that it wus the property of his goverunu nt, and that the right of the last' tenant was merely nominal The building which is situated in the Rue d'Aguerse.tu. was ; nspectcd toy l>r Kirk, whose impre.-sion was rather un favorable regarding it. The building and the locality { were not of that description which be could ha\ e do.- 1 red. He learned that it would require some thousands of dollars for repairs. Further consideration ot the matter deter | mined brn on selecting another locality and on buildiug a I tiew edifice. The site selected for the purpose is in the | Rue d? Berry . near to the Barnere d'Ktoile. It was pur I chased from a lady with whom he had some difficulty in ' making it bargain, because ol ber demand for pin money, independent ol the price demanded for the ground. How ever, Oic land ?us obtained w.ilKmt tbe pin money. The site had been obtained, but the money was now re quired for the < rection ol a suitable edifice In this difficulty a pledge was obtain**! from the Amert< an churches for ?16.000. and w ith this amount the architect agreed to commence the work. He was inet by another difficulty at lb s static oT the enterprise ? he was informed that tor j eign congregations could not own churches in France, and 1 that even the t'atholic churches la that country were owned i by the government Oil due consideration he resolved on , owning (tie church himself, although, in accordauee with Ihe laws of France on the subject , the sum of $4 soo would be due to the government at bis decease, w hile the same amount should be |iaid at the death of each of his success ors. This was fixedly tbo code of Napoleon For the purpose | of meeting this difficulty In- bad Insured bis life for $4,fi00 all ol whx h had t>e?-n dsvoted U-tbe pai ment of the debt when d should t>ecoine due. At the t.me the speaker left Paris. ! the building was nearly finished and it promised to be a handsome ed i ties, and well adapted to the purpose. He was informed by a letter from one or its members that a I permanent minister lias not been decided on. Mr Hall officiate- uow For the coaptation of the edtfeehe aaked the aio'wtanre of all good Christians, and be fell that he would not make tbe apis-al in vain to Americans. The meeting was next addrn?sed by Rev. Mr T^io. of Philadelphia who presented a resolution in fa. or uf ' taking up a collects*! for the benefit of the work The I res"!uiiuii wajs adopted, after which the following were I read and also adopted ?

In an article tn this morning's Gtvbc you have so far misspprended my position as to designate the Information you received concerning the steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship tympany to be from the agent of the Board of New York Cnderwriters While I am empowered by va rious comjianies in New York to effect insurances ou ves sels and cargoes, the ]>osition numcd is more worthily filled by Oiptain John C. Hoyt, a shipmaster of many yearn experience and long in the service of the under writers, who also discharges the duties of United States Inspector of Hulls of StenmboaU for this district. My dnties are simply to insure upon such vessels as pass the inspection of that personage, by whose opinion 1 am guided and controlled, and with whom 1 am in daily con sultation. Other circumstances, of a like nature, create an equal intimacy with the principal shipwrights of this port, from whom 1 acquire information concerning vessels of all classcf whensoever desired. Both Captain Hoyt and myself, ag the representatives of important Interests, are allowed free access to the private report* required to be made by the captain and engineer of each steamer to the agents here, upen its arrival in this port ? a privilege of which we ava;l ourselves, and fur nishes us the same private information as is enjoyed by the agents themselves. Whenever a disaster has happened to any of the Paci fic Mail Comjiany's steamers that reach this port, the American agents and the surveyor for Lloyd's are invari ably called upon to survey the vessel, and in every in stance whatever repair? in* their judgment were roquired or suggested have beer made. All the vessels of tho com pony running from he-e to Panama have been docked at the Mare Island Navy Yard dock, where the I'nited States naval constructor l'i?s had the opportunity of examining their condition, the necessity of repairs and the manner in which the work has been jM-rt'ormed.

The overland fViVtul of (V<ina of the 25th of September, contains Ihe following rejiorts of the e ffects of the typhoon which lately raged < the coast near Shanghae, Formosa and Koo Choo. a .mi. sliced in the Hjciuld after the arri val of the Ytu ? rbilt. Charles C. I'i . a river pilot , writes to the Frirnrt <%f Cki'na. under date of l'ith of September, from Pagoda | anchorage, and says: ? Ha vine experienced a very severe I typhoon here, 1 take the opportunity of giving you some of the results of mv observations. The 3d of September ' set in with a fresh gale from northeast, with falling ba roineter Tin- continued until 4 A M. on the 4th. wind gradually veering to northwest, with heavy rain. At 10 A M. w i"nd veering to west northwest, blowing heavy. At 1 P. M abmit west, blowing terrifically for about three hours, gradually veering to southwest, up to 4 P. M . when it moderated, but continuing a strong gale until sunset. [From the Friend of China, Sept 19.] Prom Foo chow foo a gentleman writes us as follows ? Since I wrote you a few days ago we have had a storm more severe than the oldest inhabitant in F<>o '"bow can recollect . and I proceed to give you details. We had a strong wind during the night of September 3; the direction was north and northwest, barometer falling continually. About 11 A. M of the 4th. gale increased frequent severe gu?u increasing in force till 3 P. M , when the typhoon was at its height, direction of w ind shifting from north west to southweM. with heavy ram. the ihermoinet** only "8 degrees ? a fall of more than 10 in a few hours. The largest trees were rooted up or broken across, air filled with leaves, stick', tc . and wind howlmg b ar: ally. The barometer now commenced rising, and the gusts, though still frequent . rather less violent At M' M the wind had very much subsided, and it became practicable to go out and see the state of affairs. The American flagstaff was blown down, the Knglish Consulate rendered ? nml.abitabic . the greater portion of Messrs Wardell Hedge's new store levelled with the ground, and tuan> houses stripped of verandahs and with large gap* III the roofs. The scene at the great bridge was fearful, and it was there that the greatest loss ol Chi nese life occurred. large rafts of timber had broken , loose, and, entangling Willi them many ol the large salt Imals. had been daubed against the bridge, forming a floating wreck of perhapn a hundred yards in depth lie | low the bridge many of the milks, Ion has and small ' Ik gits dragged, fouled each other and became wrecks. The wind now rose again and continued daring the night, w ith heavy falls of rain, but the force of the wind was m'Hlitled considerably.

' The lecture of taet night waa merely introductory , and did not treat upon the soi^s peculiar to any one nation. The other lecturea in the course will be delivered respectively on Monday and Thursday next, the 7th and 10th of December The audience last night was Wrge, and seemed to appreciate tU? lecture keenly. Mr Maslfay is not very attractive either m ap pearance or manner. Be is a sm^ll man, with a good natured but not remarkably intellectual countenance. His stylo of delivery is rather monotouuue m tone, though distinct and somewhat impressive. He intro duced to the audience by Richard Burlew Esq.. I re"" of the Association, and WW very warmly received On the platform we observed Benjamin J l>**mg, Adam Nor rie, President of the St. Andrew's Society ,E. M. Arcbr bald, British Comal, Eraetue Broolu, Mr. Young, or tie Attrum- Howard Crosby, George Tuckerman, and among the audience the venerable Dr. Francis and other dis 'XSSKWta* his subject was poetry and song, an? it rnlght^eThat he would attach more ^par^ U, i hat subject than his audience had heen accustomed to nerVwai an old saying, that the currier thought there was uothing like leatherandif thtf wm so -and the doctor thought there was nothing J exalt it. It was difficult to define what song *a.< B we Tat^rA what was beauty wo would tl&d that ?t naJ :i different definition in different climates Some ^w 'tjordy n the wild mountain and ?hundenng wafrfaJl-^om^ em the niam and village ? others found it only in the fort st. t* too, in art , some recognized beauty alone in the works of'Ranhael or Titian ? some in the Butch school or in WiSKnd aome -among the pre Rap^litos And m female beauty the most refined and purified of all dWer cut nations had their peculiar estimates, trom the Hotten tot ^eAMlo^xoiT A similar diversity is to be louud m and so^r l'l*to said that poetry camo nearer to vital truth than history itself. Bacon thought the P">P?* element of poetry was fiction? lies : and one of the "C?nt fithers called it a wicked demon, because it filled the were nurelv fictions, yet surel) they w? rt not lies Etymologists defined poets as maker* Of norms hut we Should go back farther to nd JST lH>em- were. Poetry may exist in prose as well aTver^ We had examples of this McAerson s (Nj-iin in Sterne's Sentimental Journey ; the 1 "Ig"1" 8 l'roare-H Carlyle'. Krench Revolution; Emerson's Rr -av? hu<I Washington Irving's Sketch Book, as well as in (iene'siB the stories of Esther and Ruth, in Job, Eaekiel, and lerennah. An eminent l.ondon publisher once said that these lines contained more sublimity than Sbakepera, Milton, or Homer ? . _ , |x>ve flows like the Solwaj , And ebbs like its tide. The lecturer ridiculed mere verse and rhyme, called poetry, which had no more music in it thai t tic kmc of a clock or the rattling of a car . and no more sublimity or soul than the twitter or a sparrow ortko cackle of a goose. Tom Hood went beyond the gramma riAns and *aid that poetry wa* divided into three parta p Ze "m and woT^ Jerrold said thfctall which was noMproae was -worse. ? I*,gh Hunt's definition^ poetry a i,assion for truth and beauty combined In all I creat poets imagination and fan -y. which differed essen tiallv were found combined.

"trV were to teach and to reform to inspire the mm hie with dignity and the desponding with hope, to fill air men with a love or God and one another; to convert bad into good, good into better, for time and eternity. When w e found a man who said he did not understand poetry we might assume that he was deficient in intellect or education or a man who said that be did not like poetry, we might put him down as a hard, uuf'-eling man. whose esteem was confined to that ?ma.ll piece of clay hounded bv his own overcoat. l*t the ladies beware ol him for though he may he very kind before marriage ho lsnotlikelytoproveso after it. In defining the distinc Hon between poetry and song he would say that P^try did not appeal so directly to the public lieart.pe-ip'ewho toiled for bread may know Homer, \ irgil apd I ante by their immortal names, but know nothing of their works. Song is the m'*t intimate expression or human feeling It comes to the people in the field, the smithy and by the lawn It diminishes their griefs ami teaches them the nobility of labor and the dignity of man It Is as fri to the cottage maid and the poor man s wife as the .ji.een on the throne Tliere Is no period to remote that song* were not known whether among the Jews, Creeks.

'-As cheap as an old aong;" yet there were some old aougs which were priceless to the Anglo Saxon race, who rejoiced to o Rule Britannia," ' Hail Columbia," and "Yankee Boodle." The lecturer allude?l to Burn* ?*)nK"ft. ; Man 's a Man for a' that" as establishing all over tho world the value of an honest man and a gentleman George the Fourth , who wae called the first gentleman in Europe, once said that it was better to be a gentleman and no king than a king and no gentleman He 'earned that sentiment rrom his |>eople and they learned it rram their poets and songmaker* ? from Sliakspere, 1 op? and Burns " Sweet Home, w^as only second to Burns' great song The words were American , the song was English, being Introduced Into an opera bv Sir Henry Bishop but the music wi?

And iihall Trelanr die? i _w, evidences of the power of song in political affairs, lie dwelt at considerable length on the influence of B? ranger, who was the terror of the elder Napoleon and louis XVlll and at wls?e funeral l/>uis Napob-on ordered out 2 000 men. for fear that the people would be inspired to demand the rights of which he robbed them I? is Na 1 iioleoii dared to break his oath, and trample on the rights of thirty millions of people, but he dared not n>k the burial of an old song writer without calling out h?* guards and Touav.-* So that even Emperors thought a i?*>r song writer might be a somebody After alluding to i the worthh ssness of baeehanalinn songs. th< hxturer con I i luded by reciting a small original ballad, having rete rence to the power and influence of song, whwli was re 1 celved with much applauae.
