   We invite the attention of the Superintendents and Agents of railroads and steamboats to the proceedings of the City Council at its special meeting held last night. The action of Council is highly proper and will, we have no doubt, be concurred in by those who have control of the lines of transportation. There is much and just complaint both on account of the scarcity and rapidly advancing prices of provisions in the city. Some measures should be at once adopted to increase our supplies and by preventing monopoly, by speculators, to keep the means of subsistence within the reach of our people.
