CITY INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional City Intelligence tee Fn: Pa.'c
InCKEAKEt) Indowmkst Demanded for the
1'nh8Lvania IIomi'itai-. In obedience to the
special In Tltatioiie of the Committee of Contrl
knlora of the Pennsylvania Hospital, a number
f the leading citizens of this city assembled
t 4 P. M. yesterday, at the Hospital build
ings at Eighth and fipruce streets. The
tibjcct was to confer with the Managers and
the Medical Faculty In the effort lo maintain,
and. If possible, to Increase Us charitable work.
On motion of William Welsh. Esq., Samuel
V. Merrick, Esq., was called to the Chair. lien
Jam In H. Shoemaker, Esq., was appointed Se
cretary. Mr. Merrick stated the meeting was convenod
at the request of the managers of the Institu
tion to consider bow it may be supported. Sinco
Its creation, one hundred years ago, its active
works of beneTolence. with the great increase of
the population of this city, have outgrown Its in
come to the amount of about $20,000 per year.
Either the citizens must support Us operations
or the managers must contractile usefulness,
by closing some of Us wards.
Mr. William Welsh presented the following
resolutions:
Whereas, The Contributors to the Pennsylva
nia Hospital, at their lust anuuul meeting, ex
pressed the earnest desire that the Hoard of
ManHgcrs should neither allow the usefullness
of the charitable Institution to decrease, nor to
use the vested fund for current expenses, as its
Jiresent expenditure Is lur beyond the regular
iiconie of the hospital; therefore,
Jiesolvcd, That a vigorous effort be made to
procure subscriptions to the extent of 8-5,000 a
year, rayable annually for nvo years; also, to
add tduii.tiuu to the vested fund of the hospital,
by donations and legacies.
Jlesolvett, That each member of this meeting,
and the friends of the hospital bo requested to
aid in carrying into effect the foregoing resolu
tion. Mr. Dawson, President of the Board of Mana
gers, stated that the Income received from the
vested endowments Is 630,000 annually, while
$57,000 are annually expended. Thus, yearly
the Hoard bus had to make appeals to the be
nevolence of, the citizens, witu no prospect of
an improvement In its llnunce. For one hun
dred years It has stood alone in its work, un
supported by the city or Commonwealth.
Although the strictest economy 1h used In all
the expenditures, yet, with the doubled and
trebled increase In fuel, medicines, food, 5ic, it
is in) possible to discharge Us good work without
active efforts in Its behalf. If such aid be not
afforded, then the institution will bo compelled
to close its doors to the maimed and mangled
persons who are constantly received witnin Its
walls. As an instance of its unceasing care.il
in ay be stated that on Monday live persons,
scalded iu the lato boiler accident, were re
ceived. Pr. Addriett llewson, Surgeon at the JIos
pital, stated the great necessity for present uid
WHS to contrast the work of the llospltul In t he
past with its present operations and tho de
mands which will conjo up in the future. Fifty
years ago the speaker's father was elected Sur
geon iu the Hospital. Then surgical cases were
of rare occurrence, and attracted numbers of
medical men to observe the operations. Within
that space steam power hasbeeu developed, fac
tories erected, railroads built, population has in
creased in an enormous ratio, and thus acci
dents have been occurring beyond our means at
present of caring for thorn. The Institution re
ceives all who come within twenty-four hours
of the accidents occurring, without charge. Two
cases occur a day now, being four times as great
as in IMo.
East year the Hospital treated more of these
cases than the great charity hospitals of Boston
and New York combined. Furthermore, the
number of poor patients has Increased with the
ratio of the growth of the city. East year, of
these people, the Hospital has treated over ltiuO
cases, while the Massachusetts Hospital had S-'iO
cases. They spent S.jOO more thau the Pennsyl
vania 'Hospital, and the New York Hospital
$10,000 more. In salaries, our Hospital pays out
$150 more than forty years ago. The cost of me
dicines has been only doubled within the last
twenty years, owing to the strictest economy.
Twenty years ago, over two hundred pounds of
patent lint was used; last year, only twenty
pounds, the bnlance being oakum at fifteen
cents per pound, lint being five dollars, llaud
ages were also used to a less amount than
twenty years ago, by using the bandages seve
ral times over, after being washed aud disin
feet ed
The'increase in funds during the last twenty
years has been merely nominal, the increase
being used to pay the higher salaries in the In
sane Hospital. The present generation seems
to believe that this Hospital is rich beyond its
needs, evidenced by the liberality shown to
t.imr hilarities, and the want thereof to this.
Five hundred thousand dollars iu the future
will not be sufficient to meet thedemande upon
the Hospital by an Increase of population.
Hr Charles H. Meigs would have preferred not
to have appeared belore the present gathering
of leading citizens; but having been long con
nected with the Hosnital, he felt It his duty to
express seme of his thoughts on Its operations.
The bubject was a most serious one, in which
was concerned the dignity of the whole muni
cipality and the liberal ohrUliRult of our
whole community. He was deeply pained to
hear that some of the few beds now in use
might have to be closed by the great Increase
occurring in all the expenses of the institution,
through no fault of the administrators of the
lunds but by the great addition to all expendi
tures 'caused by the war. By the laws of the
United States, the puymentof $1 annually, ena
bles a seaman coming Into port to be received
Into the Hospital. ,
In 168.1, 800 people lived in our city. Jn 09
years 1752, there were 14,000 people in 20"O
houses. In this year, 1867, 750,000 souls living In
above 80,000 houses. From 1800 to 1820 the popu
lation doubled; from 1820 to 18-10 again doubled;
from 1810 to 1800 trebled. In 33 years, by tho
year 1000, It may undoubtedly be 2,500,000, and
perhaps 3,000,000. Thus means must be takeu
to provide lor these Inevitable needs of our
community; . , .
In 1755 some of our large-hearted citizens,
headed by Benlamiu Franklin, laid tne corner
stone of this Hospital, laying Us foundations
broad and wide aud strong, not for their age
merely, but for their dosoendants. Forty-flve
beds are here for the poor nick. New York, with
40 000 bouHes, has beds for 5000 poor; Philadel
phia, with 80,000 bouses, has only 45. It is a
jsbanie to her standard of religious morals aud
ClThere are two other hospitals established in
this city. They are valuable auxiliaries, but
they cannot for many yeurs to come take its
T1 ace. The proud slaud of Philadelphia above
other cities In medical instruction is largely
owing to the facilities of clinical instruction af
forded by such institutions. This is the refuga
of the better class of the necessitous poor, the
abjeel classes tlooklna to the Almshouse for aid.
They come voluntarily; it is no disgrace to
come, for they cauuot be dlsnraced thereby.
The late war has largely restricted the funds
of the Hospital and its means of doing good.
Many tall it I'eun's Hospital, belleviug that
William Penn founded it and richly endowed
it for all times. This belief that it is a rich ln
ntltution has prevented many from bestowing
upon it the douulions they award to others.
Never has any manager been clouted save he
had first paid his contribution fee of thirty dollars-
no doctor has been engaged unless tlrst he
has'paid thirty dollars, aud then freely given
his services lo heal the poor viotlms wiihout
hope or thought of rewurd. The speaker had
thus served for many years, uud hud thought
himself well repaid on his resignation by being
told the mauugers were well satisfied with his
services.
The onlv salaries that are paid are thoso given
intho uurvanls. the cooks, housemaids, iu.. in
the Hospital. The surgeons are well content to
give their valuable time and services freely, ex
posed to all the dangers of . contagion; but they
fiuvu a riirht. to usk that the public should
strengthen their hands and help them to keep
on wlih Hie creataud amid work.
In lh65 over two thousand poor patients were
treated and 812,000 expended. Then mutton was
bouuhtfnr l-' eenti. tier Douud and beef for 17
cents, while we eiilzen paid 10 to H cents for
mutton and 22 to 2S cents for beef. 1300 pounds
of tea, 80.000 pouuds of breud, 11,000 gallons of
milk have been used yearly, and sometime luu
TiouiitUof beef dail v. to make href tea for the
patients. AH were bought of good quality, but
economical!. Not a Denny's worth of these
article go to the physiclaus, while a larger
xiorllon ot IL fund appropriated to the medical
jiorary iuno is annually transferred to toe sup
nor I of the librair.
Philadelphia should repay every cent of that
outlay, and give out of her abundance to Us
Deeds.
Mr. William Wehthitated that Mayor McMl
ehnel r ad written a letter, heartily indorsing the
object of the meeting, ami stating his wish to
do nil In his power to further its purposes. Hp
would hem lily advocate the resolutions oflered.
Perhaps the managers in their real to do the
utniot-t good, had been n little too modest, and
thus the present meeting had been arranged to
aid them by presenting their Just claims to the
public. It was most sad in these Christian
times any should be rejected from the doors
owing to a lack of means to care for them. The
medical faculty has nobly given all Its means
and talents to care for the poor victims, with
out wish of reward. Tho public know little of
the wear and tear of medical life in these cases,
or they would be roost ready to bless them in
their struggles.
He felt sure that the nubllo would be glad to
come forward when conscious of the great need.
Philadelphia Is petulinr In having a larger
number of virtuous working poor than nny
other lurgeclty in the world, and for them this
ilospitul aflords a much needed refug in seri
ous illness. $25,000 a year would satisfy present
necessities, sncl If f 100,000 could be drawn off by
an ocean yacht race, plenty of money must be
at hand in a great community.
1 he resolutions were adopted and. on motion,
the Standing Committee was Increased to fifty
gentlemen. After the announcement of vari
ous subscriptions the meeting adjourned.
Tiie Merchants' Fund. The annual meeting
of this time-honored association was held yes
terday, at 4 P. M., at the rooms of the Hoard of
Trade.
Mr. J. C. Hand, President, filled the chair; Mr.
Hacon, Secretary. The reading of tho minutes
of the previous meeting was di spoused with.
The report of the 1 'resident was roa 1 by Mr.
Alwood:
It has been the grateful office of the Directors
of the Merchants' Fund at each annual meeting
to report accumulating evidences of the excel
lence of this charily. While such Is the record
ot the past, up lo the present hour no shadow
seems to rest upon the future. There are grati
fying proofs that there is gathering around the
association a deeper Interest and higher appre
ciation of its character and object, giving as.
Mil a nee that it will find a permanent home
among the institutions of benevolence which
reflect so much true honor on our city.
The past year has developed the usual
amount of destitution among those who for
merly stood in our ranks, and relief has been
given In such measure as circumstances seemed
to require. The donations have been four thou
sand and sixty-five dollars nn excess of about
live hundred dollars over the preceding year.
Sixteen are receiving regular aid at the pre
sent time. Of the claims of these we will only
say they are those of present destitution, In
firmity, sickness, age, and of au honorable
record in all their business lives. Each case
has lis own sad history of diBap pointed hopes,
earnest but unavailing struggles for recovery
from fallen fortunes, and a reluctant and pain
ful yielding to a condition of unavoidable ilo
pendance upon the help which this Institution
brings to the relief of such calamity. i
The amounts of these donations but poorly
express their value, how imperfectly can be
fully understood only by the recipients them
selves. These gifts are the acknowledgments of
the true deserving of Uiese unfortunate gentle
men, whose claims upon our sympathy are
rather hallowed than lessened by the alllictions
that have befallen them. They mean thut you
will not leave them on the battle-field of life,
neglected, wounded and forsaken. If you have
been spared their sufferings aud their fate, you
do not forget it has not been owing to your wis
dom or prudence, but to the kinder providence
of Him who "putteth down one and setteth up
another."
Three of the beneficiaries reportod at the last
anniversary have deceased during the year, at
the ages of sixty-eight, seventy-two and eighty-
three, in the case of oneof these respected gen
tlemenand he was long and well known as
most worthy of respect care was taken to con
ceal from him the source of the aid dispensed,
lest from the extreme sensitiveness which hud
marked his character, tae sense of the painful
contrast to his former fortunes would at once
have proved fatal to a frame weakened by para
lysis. All hough every publicity has been given to
the character and objects of the association, the
monthly reports of the Executive Committee
show that no proper object which has been
brought to their notice has been left without
attention and succor. In view of this state
ment, and kindred ones of preceding years, we
may well congratulate all who have contributed
to this blessed charity.
At the origin of the society the bonevoleneeof
Its design was sufficiently transparent none
doubled that but grave doubts were felt bymauy
as to its practicability. Although similar institu
tions existed in other professions it was new to
ourown. It was teureu that theclaims of apro
fession so numerous in its membership, and
proverbially exposed to such disastrous re
verses, would bo beyond any provision which
could be hoped for their relief. These reverses
are not less numerous or severe than were sug
gested in discouragement of the undertaking,
and during the thirteen years of the history of
this society they have come up to the lull mea
sure of any former average, aud yet it would
Bcem that few are left wholly dependent on any
public charity. Whatever may be the explana
tion, let us gratefully accept tho facts. They
show that with but a small fraction ot the
patronage daily expended by the Philadelphia
merchants upon other objects of benevolence,
there may here be earnerod up an adequate
provision for the reliefofour sutlerihg brethren,
to which they may look for aid when bereft of
every other earthly help.
The receipts nnd expenditures of the year are
exhibited iu the report of the Treasurer, James
15. McFarland.to whom the association lsgreatly
Indebted for the faithful aud gratuitous dis
charge of the duties of his laborious office. The
receipts from all source were twelve thousand
three hundred and nine dollars, eighty-nine
cents, and the expenditures, including new In
vestments, eighteen tuousanu tnree nuuureu
and sixty-nine dollars, fourteen cents.
The permanent luna oi me association
amounts to 802.Ot'0. and is invested as follows:
City of Philadelphia loans $25,000
United stales loans ai,w
State of Pennsylvania loans H,OoO
SG2.000
The Income from these investments aud the
payments from the annual members aniouut
ne the last year to$1035 constitute thesoclety's
means of carrying on Its work. In what way
tills work is prosecuted, and the class of persons
upon whom it was bestowed, will be seen by the
lollowmg copy oi one oi tne mommy reports oi
the Executive Committee.
To the Managers of the Merchants' Fund:
The Executive Committee report that since the
last meeting of the Hoard tu following orders
have been drawn on the Treasurer In behalf of
their beneficiaries, viz.: From No. 402 to No. 503,
amounting together to 8012 5O.
One new benenciary has oeen auaea to tne
list. This gentleman successfully conducted
the business for the period of twenty years
in this citv. suddenly overtaken ny the vicissi
tudes of trade in 1848, he surrendered every dol
lar of his property to his creditors. With strict
economy and unwearied Industry, he has been
able to sustain his family comfortably, until
t brown out of employment in October last.
Since that lime he has ..hud no income what
ever, and now, iu his sixty-fifth year, through
age aud infirmity, finds himself utterly depen
dent. The committee also report mat an additional
sum of 8100 has been appropriated to beueticlary
No. 511 in cousequeuce of his lncapaoiuty or
performing any labor, resulting from an attack
of paralysis. He is steadily but gradually be
coming more helpless, and has a large and
interesting ianiny uepcuaeut upon mo icauiy
earnings of their hands. Ills represented that
no more wormy case couiu ue preseuteu ior tne
exercise of our benelactions.
The committee nave aiso aimed iiuu to tne
appropriation lor the reiier or No. . They
have tatislactory iuloi'iuatlon that his present
situation is one of entire dependence.
His board, luei ana oiner uecfsuries are sun
,, no, l hv private hands. His wifs is so blind as
to be unable to do anything in the way of earn
ing support. Hisowu efl'ortB tooblain employ
mellt UUVe UeUll uuivnaiun uu, u mvico., luuq
far he has been aided by a few riuuds upon
whom be has no claim of kindrya. A guutle
man who is intimately acquainted with the
circumstances of this beneficiary, writes as f jl-luws-
"1 cannot conceive, ol a case (except
when accompanied by disability) that brings
with it a worthier claim upon your excellent
charity Ills friends will continue tocontribute
occuslonally to his aid, but they cannot assume
tne responsibility of his support, whilst your
ussislauce with theirs may unitedly be the
means to sustain above despair a good man,
who is. 1 believe, striving to bear with a Chris
tian resignation his allotment in this life,
which he regards as a dispensation oi tue .Di
vine baud for bis good,"
In a letter from this beneficiary, he says: "I
Bin now seventy-four years, and according to
the nature of things, cannot expect to remain
much longer. May (iod bless you, and all who
are connected with the Mcrchuuts' Fund."
The Committee would further report that all
Mn above mentioned beiii flciarlps have hcen
vlMted nl their lesidenres, nnd .- most, favorable
impression has been mnde of their desorvings.
We know not what to add to the appeal which
these simple tacts present in behalf of the Mer
chants' Fund. They cannot fail effectually lo
plead its cause In the henrts of the merchants of
Philadelphia. John M. Arrwoon,
President.

ufter which Rev. James B. Simmons delivered
an essay on the question, "What is the true re
lation between the cuurcli and the Sunday

attention. After other religious exercises the

Meeting of the Bar for Social Organi
zation. Last evening, at the Supreme Court
room, a meeting of Members of the Bar was
held to organize an association for social as well,
us professional Intercourse. About fifty gentle
men were present. Colonel James Page was
called to the chair, and Mr. McElroy was ap
pointed Secretary. Mr. Robinson, the author
of the call for the meeting, stated that the pro
posed combination of lawyers originated at the
late dinner of the Bar. His idea was not to
propose a benevolent association, but to form
something like a law reading-room sufficiently
convenient to the Courts, and better adapted In
Its hours for members than the present Law
Library.
The assocclation should also possess some
what of a social character, to unite the mem
bers in good fellowship. If a committee was
appointed to devise a form of ineorooration of
a professional and social order, to report at a
future meeting, tho matter would probably be
of interest to the profession. ,
Mr. Goforth moved that a committee of five
be appointed to consult with others in sympa
thy therewith, and lo present at a future meet
ing a plan or several pluns of organization. 1
Mr. Hagart stated that he bolleved higher
motives and purposes should Influence the
members In organizing au active law society,1
viz: For the purpose of social conference on
many law points now undecided, and for secur
ing uniformity on mooted points of practice. Thlsi
movement must start from the younger mem
beis, but it must have the active co-operation
of the older members. He would propose an'
amendment that the meeting adjourn for one
week, and that before its next session members
endeavor to influence abseut. and especially
older members of the bar, lo ullend uud take
part in the deliberations.
A gentleman suggested that the Society should
be instituted on a basis similar lo the Loudon
Law Society, which, under Lord Brougham's
presidency, sharply reviews English Jurispru
dence, ami suggests to Parliament needed
reforms which are generally ralihed. Philadel
phia should, through her Bar, exercise such a
salutary iulluence on our legal enactments.
Mr. Ji'iikitisou hoped (he motion would pre-
vail, that the entire bar. nnd not meroly the
younger numbers, might be enlisted in the
movement.
Colonel J. Ross Snowden stated that the Bar
wss accustomed to three calls. The banquet
was t lie first, nd on the present occasion was
the second, and the next would form the third.
He wished to promote the Just play ol the social
n fleet ions, nnd also to promote t he advancement
ot ail In useful knowledge. At the next meet
ing the senior, the Juntorsand the mlrt'llo nvn
nnnld be present, and all cotiid work together
unfettered by uny previous action.
The motion, being amended to appoint a com
mittee of nine, the Chairman and Secrotary
being included, wns ndopted unanimously.
The inn t lug then adjourned to meet at eight
o'clock on next Tuesduy evening. ,
Annual Repoiit of the Mercantile Li
ukaky Com pan y. The forty-fourth annuul re
port of the Mcrcanlilo Library Company was
presented to the stockholders last evening nl
the Library Building, on .Filth street, below
Chesnut.
From tho Managers' report. It appeatu that
five life members and eighty-two stock holdurs
have been added during 180, making a present
total of 67ti(i members and 401 subscribers. The
volumes added were, 110 by donation and 4fi87 by'
purchase, nt a cost per volume of $122, and a
total of 85271-70.
Inning the year 177,fi03 volumes were loaned;
in 1805, 109,211; In 1801, 101,410; In no previous
year was It above 90,000. Tho proportion of
novels read to other literary works is steadily
diminishing. The working expenses were
thirty-six per cent, of the Income; the expenses
lor books, thirty-seven ter cent., while twenty
four per cent, was expended for repairs and
uddeo to building fund. In lsfit) the flues were
12,(1.985. being $17h5 In 1S05.
A new cutalngue of the books Is In active
preparation, and will be published soon. A
plan lor the delivery of books at members' resi
dences, and lor enabling all to obtain the books
they desire, is under consideration, necessi
tating a larger supply of popular books, the sur
plus ol which in the future can lie sold.
During the last nine years the losses from
thelts Hie estimated at 4738 volumes. A mue.h
needed reform of rendering the most valuable
works of relereiico aocessiblo to all the mem
bers has been instituted, by placing all in a
gallery In the newspaper room, instead of being
locked up, as previously done.
The building fund now amounts to $10,8S0-65,
invested In United States securities. To in
crease it to the amount needed, vigorous efforts
on the part of all the members are needed and
requested.

Keterenca is likewise made in the report to the
extension of the road to the Park, showing the
advantages of that connection. In regard to
the Darby Railroad, nothing as yet had been
done towards connecting that road with this, on
account of the objectionaDle character of the
Gray's Ferry Bridge for passenger railway pur
poses. The report concludes by referring to the con
dition ol the road and Its equipment, all of
which Is In bolter condition than it has ever
been. The Board have endeavored to make the
rood, in all its appointments, compare favora
bly with the best in the city.

A Bold Highway Robbery. Third and
Lombard streets was the scene of a dating hiirh
waj robbery yesterday alternoon. An old lady
named McCaulley. who res-ides in Catharine
btreet, above Fourth, while parsing down Third
street, was pushed down at Lombard street,
and robbed ot United Stttes bonds which she
had in an envelope, the value of them being one
tbou--and dollars. She wa9 pushed so violently
to the pavement that before she could recover
fiom the ellects ot the fall and give the alarm,
the thieves had got too far oil' to be overtaken.
This robbery equals in daring that of the mes
senger boy of Messrs. Ridgway &' Co. several
months ago. which took place' on Third street,
above Market. The chief offender in that
felony, though arrested and bound over for
trial, fled, and escaped punishment.

ciett. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
held their annual nieetiuer at the Hall, Broad

of flowers was entirely creditable and satisfac
tory. Taking the floral scene into view witbin
the ball, and the clear moonlight glistening on
ihe newly-fallen and crisp snow that covered
everything out-doors, it really seemed like
blending the blo&souis of spring with the Irobts
of winter.
