 At Pittsburgh, Peun, public meeting was held on the 9th inst, fOv the purpose of re- ceiving the Report of the Delegation from that city to Washington. We extract some

 parts of the Report, which recite the Presi- dents share Of the conference between him

 and the delegation :-

 "Our reception was courteous. After the ! usual common place remarks. the President proceeded 10 notice the existing complaints of ] pecUniary distress-" The bank had, without any necessity, cut of the usual facilities in the west by refusing to buy bills of exchange ex- cept on the eastern cties-there was no ne- cessity for this-the bank had ample means to relieve the ec0Mn1Wnity-ten millions Ofspe- cie; when MT. Riddle acknowledged before Congress that six millions were enough The hank had begun to distress the whole country by calling in too soon-to protect the State banks, directed the deposites to be re- moved to them--if the deposites had not been removed, the State banks would have been crushed before this time." @a Ii The President said-. the Bank was call ing 10 100 1ase. LOOK AC the re0uctbOO Sne mas

 made in the west, without any necessty-re- l fuses to buy bills Ofexebange on New Orleans. She has ample meaus to relieve yOu---ten ml-

 lions of specie-when Mir. Riddle acknowl.

 edged that six millions were enough" The

 chairman was going on to explain why, at | Pittsburgh, the reductions of tlle Bank were

 SO great; and why. for time, the cOmnuni-

 ty met those reductions. He said that the

 reason why there was no great cry of distress,

 before Mr. Wilkins left home. was, the intro.

 duciion of what was to US foreign capital, in

 the stock of new Bank, the principal part of which had been taken in Philadelphia. and

 the increased capital of the Bank of Pitts ] burgh. Mfr. Wilkins here interrupted, saying -"geotIrmen, yea have taken h wrong view of the subject--you in,pute your distress to the wrong callse-y0u blaMe the adnsinistra tion instead of the Bank. The Bank began to call in before the removal of the deposites."

 He was going on enlarging, when the chair. man stopped him, saying" MT. Wilkins. am not capable of making set speech, in re. ply to what you may say, and beg io be per.

 mitted to reply to what may be said as yau got along. in a conversational way. The val ue of the President's time will net permit long 1 speeches-Me have not much to say, and

 beg that we may not be interrupted" While saying this, the President said-" Mr. Vii.
