FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1869. ftliaU Oar Foreign Trmle bo Kevlvetl? Thi subject of a direct line of ocean steam ships from Philadelphia to eome Kuropean port la one which has long been subjeot to a spaemodlo agitation. Every now and then the matter has been taken in hand, disouaaed in all its bearings, and regularly abandoned before a faithful and earnest attempt has been made to verify its practicability. If New York oity were out of the way entirely, or so far removed from ns as to render it very in convenient to transact our business with the Old World through it, the problem would Boon be solved by necessity. The greatest manufacturing city on the American continent, connected by well-managed railways with the West and Sonth, our intercourse with foreign nations has necessarily assumed enormous proportions; and yet at present nearly all of it seeks one channel, and that channel one whioh. is not more preeminent in any one thing than in its spirit of hostility to Philadel phia and all her interests. That there is any necessity for transacting neajly all our dealings with European nations through New York, no Fhiladelphian who has devoted any time and attention to the subject oan be made to believe, and no New Yorker can claim with a Show of truth. The natu ral disadvantages of Philadelphia as a great centre of foreign commerce were certainly not greater, as compared with the natural facili ties of New York city, during the early part of the century than they are at present. Yet as early as the year 1706 our foreign exports had attained the aggregate value of $17,513,8(50', while in 18G6 they amounted to only $17,913, 901, and in 18U7 to but $14,412,308, something more than half of the last named belonging to the petroleum trade alone. The highest figure was reached in 1S0G, when our exports were valued at $31,384,0!)1. By 1811 they had fallen below $10,000,000, and in three years only thereafter did they exoeed that amount previous to 18C0. Since that date they have fluctuated between that amount and $18,000,000. In the way of imports we have continued to hold our own since 1822, beyond which date the record does not extend. Starting then with $11,874,170, in 18G7 they amounted to only $14,470,507, but the amounts recorded In the years 182, 183G, 1839, 1853 to 1857 and 1859 exceeded that figure, the maximum being attained in 1854, when they amounted to $21,359,306. We append a table showing the fluctuations in the amounts at the dates named, as follows: Tear, 1791 1796 1801 1803 1803 1808 1810 1813 1822 1325 1830 1836 1343 1347 1854 1853 1860 1861 1863 18G5 1866 1867 Krporls. $3,4315,093 17,513,60(5 17,438,193 11,030,206 31,384,091 6,960,133 17,235,162 3,577,117 9,047,802 11,269,981 4,291,793 3,971,555 2,354,948 8,544,391 10,104,41(5 5,987,251 7,839,286 10,277,938 10,628,968 12,584,152 17,913 901 14,442,398 Imports. $11, 7 1,170 15,041,797 8,772,122 15,0(58,233 2,760,630 9,587,51(5 21,359,306 12 890,369 14 531,352 8,0!4 161 6,269,530 8,945,429 13,505,605 14,476 517 This record shows conclusively the facts Whioh we desire to impress upon the business portion of the community, that our inter coarse with foreign nationals regulated merely by their whims, that it follows no law of ne oessity, and that it can be inoreased to a figure commensurate with our wealth aui importance. We are gratified to learn that a serious attempt la about being made to remedy a state of affairs which is anything bat creditable to Philadelphia pride and enterprise. Messrs. Eager Brothers are about establishing a regu lar line of first-class steamers, to ply between this port and Bremen and Hamburg, in the North German Confederation, calling at Southampton both ways. If they reoeive suf ficient encouragement to warrant the enter prise, they will at once place four well-known ocean steamers upon the line, to make fort sightly trips, and as soon as ciroumstanoes will warrant it the number of vessels will be Inoreased so as to enable one to leave this port ecoe in eaoh week. The persons embarking in this enterprise will rely in great measure upon the emigrant passenger traflio for sap port at the outset. The Pennsylvania Rail road has tendered the firm material assistance, and an act is now before the Legislature pro viding for a subsidy of $5000 for each round trip, not exceeding fifteen in number, whioh shall be made within one year from the pas sage of the act. The true interests, not alone of the oity, bat of the entire State, demand that the aid thus asked shall be freely granted. It will be repaid to the people of the State, in a hundred ways, a hundred fold. The great essentials to the unequivocal suooess of the enterprise are regularity in the Bailing of the steamers and a certainty of the continuance of the line. These features alone will inspire oonfldenoe in our own merohants, and in shippers at many localities out side of the oity, who will find it cheaper al more eoave&Wnt to patrouia ft une starting from Philadelphia than from New York or any other Atlantto port. To en sure them both, the assistance requested from the Legislature is not only needful, but the hearty support and enoouragement of our own people, especially of the meroantlle por tion. Diligence on the part of the oity autho rities to keep the river free from all obstruo. Hods, and a systematic rednotion of oar wharfage and other ort charges below the standard of New York, will likewise be neoes sary. We trust that the State Legislature will respond promptly to tbe appeal made to them, and that the entire community will make a determined effort to plaoe the under taking on a safe and profitable footing. It will be like bread cast upon the waters, sure to return in after times. A Commission to Clean f he Ntreet. Mk. Samuel Johephu has introduced into the State Legislature an act to authorize the ap. pointment of a commission to olean the streets of Philadelphia. The parties to whom the job is to be given are not as yet earned. The bill provides that the e parties shall hold for two, three, four, and five years, and shall re ceive one thousand dollars a year as a salary. Now what are the duties of these oommis sioners ? By whom are they to be appointed f and what is the neoessity for their creation f As to who they are to be, it would seem that the Legislature is to name them. It would be a matter of Borne difficulty to flud out on what grounds the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania should undertake to give cut the cleaning of the streets of Phila delphia. Surely Councils, or some other local authority, are the proper persons to do bo. In matters which are so purely local, as the washing of pavements and the removing of piles of dirt, we can see no reason for the interposition of the Legislature. For doing what are these gentlemen to re ceive $1000 a year? The bill proposes that they shall advertise for proposals for a contract, that they shall make a contraot for five or ten years, and shall draw monthly warrants for the compensation of the oontrao tors. After giving the contraot for ten years, then the entire duty of the Commissioners, or three of them, will be to draw a monthly warrant. It seems to us, although $1000 per annum is not a munificent, iuoome, that it is a pretty dear price for the city to pay for the signature twelve times repeated of a Com missioner. There is no nsnassity whatever for such a board. It would be an expense without any advantage in return. It would be a useless encumbrance. But as it is evidently a job got up for certain parties to be named hereafter, we do not suppose that the benefit of the city was the object contemplated in its introduction. CliMfiue ol Site ol Public lliiilrittiff . Ykstbhy, by a decided vote of 32 to 19, Common Council passed a resolution chang ing the location of public buildings from In dependence Square to Penn Square. This action was oertainly unexpected, as it is hardly a week sinoe, by an entirely different vote, the same body agreed to put them in the former 'place. We do not kno'w what has caused this change, but it is one which, if any legal right t xiats to have them on Penn Squares, will not caaf e dissatisfaction. The old Independence Square is rather email for the size and form of buildings suggested by the Commissioners, and care should be taken to prevent a orowded appearance being given to the new pile. It is exceedingly questionable, however, whether Select Council will concur in the change. But speedy action is necessary, as before the sum mer is ended the work should have been com" menoed.

Do not Tbivli with Dakuks.-A single spark may kindle a flame that will consume a city, and small ailments neglected may end In fatal disorders Bearing this hot In mind, let the first symptoms of debility or nervous prostration be met promptly with Invigorating treatment. Foremost among the vege table ton lot of the age steods Hohtktteb's Stom aok Bittkhs, and whenever the vital powers seem lo languish, or there Is any reason to suspect that the animal functions essential to the sinter atlon and purification of the body are Imperfectly performed, this Invaluable Invigorani and antiseptic should at once be resorted to. Indigestion always produces weakness (sometimes It happens and this Is mora frequent )r the case In wlntr than at any other season that tbe appetite demands more food than the stomach can digest) though not more, perhaps, than Is required to keep up l be full strength ofibe frame. Tbe object, under such circumstances, Is to Increase the digestive capacity of tbe assimilating organ, so as to make It equal to the outy Imposed upou It by the appetite, and capable of supplying tbe building material of the system as last as It Is required This cbjtct Is fully accomplished by the use of the Bliters They tone and gently stimulate tbe cellular mimbrnne which secretes ihe gastric Juice, and the result is that tbe solvent Is mingled with tbe food In suftlclcnt quantity to convert all Its nourishing par ticks Into pure and wholesome elermnt. If, on the oilier band, there Is a dutioluucy of appetite, without aoy corn tjiOLdinn deficiency ol digestive power, tue eilna ol the tnnlo is to stimulate a delrn f r food.
