Congratulation! on your part that your own personal efforts have been seconded by a society of lad ms and gentlemen who have given practical utility to thought by the erection of a beautiful fountain in our city, from which tho pure stream of water flows that, will refresh the fainting traveller and make glad the poor beast, who, though mute, h a language of thankfulness which speaks tmi (he eye, and which, to the good and merciful master, is so easy of interpretation. The practicability of the object In which yonr efforts are enlisted commends itself to our entire community. A eneroua liberality has distinguished many of our citizens hi lb furtherance of great enterprises which are in every way . orthy ; bnt why, in providing for the destitute and the homeless, should we forget an object so worthy as that wnioh seeks to have always near at hand fountains of pure water, where the beast can be refreshed and tired man take his thirst II the tail of a sparrow escnpes not the eye of the Almighty, and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His, why should we who are but -mortals refuse to enlist our energies in a cause so praiseworthy!? I hope to-night, sir. Is but the beginning of good things, and that throughout the length and breadth of our city these fountains may be distributed. I trust that a generous rivalry will crowd the bet of donors, whose names, inscribed upon granite, will be banded down to posterity. I congratulate you, sir, and the society over which you preside. Surely there is every reason for great encourage ment. You have enlisted in your behalf fair ladies whose irentle natures feel for suffering humanity, and who, what ever their hands find to do, do it with their might. May your efforts be crowned with success, and may you live to ireaUae the fulfilment of the truth of the inscription so suggestive of the object of your society: "Let thy foun tains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the Btreets" Pr. Swann replied as follows Xudlow, Ladies and Gentlemen To say that T am Vvatif c dby this visit and complimentary address, would be very Inadequate expression of my feelings. 1 assure you, air, that I have listened to your remarks with more than Miliary interest, and thank you, in the name of the society I have the honor to represent, for the cordial sympathy ad support which you hare so feelingly and generously expressed in your address. In easting our eyes over the extended area of this great and growing city, with its population of over 7W,0U0 inhabi tant!, we cannot but feel impressed with the ample pro vieion that Providence lias made for lt prosperity and hap piness, and we should not, by any neglect of ours, permit these benefits to slumber unimproved, without an effort to bring them within the reach of all for whom they were intended. It must be admitted that one of the greatest and most dispensable blessings that can be conferred hjmki a com munity is an abundant supply of water, and although we enjoy this advantage to its fullest extent at our residences and public institutions, yet we cannot be unmindful of the foot that no provision has at any time been made for the thirsty and tired laboror, and the animals under his care, while promoting the commerce and business operat ions of our eity. During the hot months of summer, the suffering caused toy the absence of water in onr streets is beyond descrip tion, and those who have been unavoidably detained in town at this sultry season of the year have, no doubt, like myself, witnessed, with painful emotions, the exhausted horse struggling with his heavy burden over our rough pavements; his breathing fast and hard, and his limbs naduaily becoming weuker and weaker, until at last he fall to the ground, a victim of what we call cruelty and oppression. TCn many instanoes this may, no doubt, be true, but the responsibility falls not alone upon the persons having these animals under their care, for they are often in us suffering a condition as the poor beasts they drive. The wheels of business and trade are not under their control, and can not be stopped by heat or cold, and those interested in its onward progress should provide suoh means as will lighten their labor and afford refreshment to all en waged in it. It is the intention of the officers of the Philadelphia Fountain Society to remedy this evil, and to distribute along the streets and public thoroughfares fountains and troughs where both man and beast may refresh themselves, Md recover their exhausted energies. But in the execution of this great work, involving so large an expenditure of money and labor, the officers ' of the society expect the hearty co-operation and support of their fellow-citizens, trratiiiK to tuvlf on intaUi- eence and practical knowledge to calculate the benefits, oth to the tleuith and morals, that must result from so liberal a Supply of water during the summer months to the Wf.'.bg classes of our people. . " This society, although tiie first movement of the kind that has so far been inaugurated in this country, is not an original idea. In London a siniihir association was formed Home years ago, having among its officers some of the most influential and respectable gentlemen of thHt great city, who with laudable zeal and enterprise undertook the work of soliciting contributions, und druwing to their embrace a large number of subscribers. I need not say that the enterprise met with universal ap probation, and the society, according to a recent report, has erected one hundred and seventeen fountains und ninety-nine troughs, and although d ispersed and spread over an area of one hundred square miles, und subject to the in jury tlirough thoughtless mischief, wilful malevolence, und unavoidable aocident, to which such structures are every day liable, no injury has yet fieen sustained by any one of them, showing conclusively how universally the objects of the society are uppreciirted by a grateful community. At one of these fountains two thousand persons were aeen to drink in five hours. At unother in Bishopsgate nearly seven thousand drank in a single dny, and lit the Royal Bxchango, where three jets are constantly flowing, more than eight thousand have been known to drink in the same space of time. If these three fountuins which I have mentioned afford relief to more than seveuteen thousand thirsty people iu one day, how great must be the benefit bestowed upon the aggregate number who report to these fountains in other parts of London! Let us then emulate our transatlantic brethren in this noble work. Let us bring into more general use the waters of the Schuylkill. The same spirit of enterprise w hich di rected our forefathers in their efforts to raise that limpid lit ream from its sandy bed, and send it in -copious currents through the gilded halls of luxury and ease, will ulJ aid fu in bringing the same to our fountains, where the weary and overheated laborer and his hulf-fumished aniuiul may fin relief, and return to their toil with renewed life and vigor. Lotus eall upon our benevolent and Christian associu tkins who are laboring to elevate the moral condition of their fellow-man, und to bring him to a proper understand ing ef his spiritual accountability, and tell them that the most dangerous enemy to virtue is often fouud in Thirst, driving the thoughtless victim to places of debuuch, where, n the social converse of others, indulgence, oft repeated, paves the way to habits of intemperance und all the evils that follow in its- withering train; and, finally, let us invoke all our fellow-citizenc, of every' denomination and orced all who love order, good government, and a virtuous life to come to our uid, and snxtuin us with their means, their influence, and personal efforts In currying out the ob jecU we have in view. The officers of our sooiety ask no compensation for ttooir labor, and will receive none. Their motive is solely phi. lanthropio, and, a such, they confidently appeal to the friends of humanity to aid them in their meritorious work. Bo far they nave received the liberal encourage, nientof a large number of their fellow-citizens, mum of whom have not only become members of the societv, but have authorized fountains to be erected at their on ex pense. I thank you again for this visit und complimentary address. At the conclusion of the address Dr. Swann was warmly anil enthusiastically applauded. The speakers who followed were Ucv.

Klliott.A Dunn's Nkw Uankino HorsE Per. haps one of the most pleasant duties of a Jouruulist, in any city or town, is to record evidences ol the march of Improvement around him. Of laic i'liilu kjlplila has been extremely rapid In her progress, -not only In stretching away for squares blocks of new buildinKS, but also in tearing down business Klitiees from sites already comparatively improved, and erecting In their stead structures handsome, ornate, or massive. These improvement have all been carefully noted, and now again the grateful task is ours to score oue more In the already lengthy lint. For some time past the old, steady, and well-known banking firm of Messrs. Klllott k Dunn have had in course of construction a new Banking House, on Third street, below Chcsnut, directly opposite Tun venino Tklkuiupii orltoe. A few days since It received the last finishing touches, and yesterday was ccupiud by tho arm. This attractive lutlc building in In the Franoo ttallan atyl. moderately oni. It is eighteen feet wide by fifty tjf. deep, ftiui two H!orie jji tieigtit. The front In egectiled in marble, neiected frotl the Manchester quarries. Tho body of tho building In of brick. Thnflrstor principal "lory ha-? a cornice ap propriate to tho style, supported on ornamental brackets, connected at their springing by a well denned Btring-courso. Immediately over . this cornice rest tho window plinths of the second story. And the whole frontispiece is crowned by a highly ornate chief cor nico of elegant proportions, tastefully adorned with boldly carved rosettes. Tho centre of this cornlc-e has a graceful segment-broken pediment, with fluial In perfect keeping with It, as a finish to the whole, having its tympanum ornamented, with a circular cenirei ana two sm &nfiftl;Hr panoU neatly snnk moulded. The principal story, devoted wholly to the bank, is of easy access, being brit one step abgvft the side-walk. . Its front Is divided li;U) three open ings, namely window and two doors, the rormer ten feet Six Inches high, and thd two lat ter thirteen leet six Inches; all three are Ave feet wide, capped with elliptic heads, and have a broad rosetted band-moulding continued ronnd the whole of each opening. The spandrels have a well-defined shield ornament raised on each. The second story has three ornamental blocked antm, with long sunk panels between the blocks, dlvidlngthe front Into two sections, each having a window three feet six Inches wide by ten feet high, scmi-clrcnlar headed, and completely surrounded with a blocked Ivand flnlsh, with a highly wrought, boldlv-ralsed keystone and supports sunk-panelled (as are all the blocks), and Tpresenting a richness of effect with appropriate strength. Tho spandrels In this story have large rose ornaments raised on them. The under part of the facife forming the caps of the sections Is Indented and carved appropriately, having drops at regular intervals. Two highly enriched consoles finish the cornice on each end of the front, the caps or blocks of which havo carved wreaths on them. The doors and window sashes are of polished walnut; the glass, best French plate, in single sheets. The first story, fourteen feet four Inches high, occupied as the fiscal department of the bank, Is ki one room, with a private stair leading to the vaults In the cellar, and a stairway rising to the apart ments in the second storv. The first story or bank otllcc Is lighted In the rear by a skylight. The second story Is twelve feet six Inches high, divided into two apartments, together with dressing-room and water closet, and is lighted in the rear by three windows. The building is heated by hot-air generated from a furnace In the cellar, and carried to the flues by tin ilpe;and the gas through terra-cotta pipe. The icatlng flues rise In the second story the height of a table, and are covered with marble slatrn. The roof is covered with tin and painted. This bank building, as finished, goes to prove how much may lie done iu a small space, without at all crowding the front with apparently extraneous embellishment. Its architect was Mr. Samuel Hloan ; the marble work was done bv Mr. William Armstrong; the car pentering work by Messrs. Cook A Furman; the cabinet work and fixtures by Messrs. Kemp A Gar rison; and the gas-fixtures were put In by Messrs. Mlskey, Merrill A Thackara. It is sincerely to lie hoped that the business of tho firm will be largely Increased with their removal to the new location. Banqukt of the Gkkkn Him.

F., at the Corn Exchange notel, Second street, above Walnut, when the company, some 850 gentlemen, sat down to dis cuss the good things so bountifully provided, and the atfair passed off in the most pleasant and spirited manner. W. P. Gallagher, Noble Grand of the Green Hill Lodge, presided, assisted by Vice Grand W. Lewis. The Treasurer of the organization, T. M. Henderson, and W. n. H. Porter were also present. Wit, song, and sentiment were the order of the even ing, and titc festivities were kept up till a late hour. Mr. James D. Whetham, the oldest member of the lodge, in response to a toast to Odd Fellowship, gave an interesting history of the Order, interspersed with reminiscences of the Green Hill Lodge, which he said was instituted In 18fi6, aud at the present time numbers exactly ono hundred members, Mr. Wm. Gaus followed In a verv neat speech, in response to a toast "The Day we Celebrate," when Dr. Ridge, of Camden, N. J., took the floor to reply to the senti ment "Our Country." The Doctor made a most elo quent and forcible address, alluding to the many stirring incidents in the historv of our country, aud concluding . with a tribute, most beautifully ex pressed, to the "free and untrammelled Press" of our country. Speeches were also made by William J. Aldrich, John Pemberton, and Mr. Henry F. Butler. The address of the latter gentleman was given in re sponse to the toast "Woman," and its sparkling wit aud genuine humor fairly convulsed the company. Some fine singing was indulged in by Mr. Pemberton. ami the festivities concluded with the "Star Spangled Banner." Altogether it was a delightful reunion, and will long be remembered with pleasure by all who participated In It. Hearinos at the 1'entkai. Station. At two o'clock this afternoon, before Alderman Kerr, at the Central Station. Peter Miller had a hearing upon the charge of stealing a horse and wagon. It appears that he came to the station yesterday and confessed that ;.i hud stolen a team, the property of Robert Krvin, Forty-seventh and Market streets. Inquiry ascertained the facts of the confession to be true, and lie was held for a further heating. Also Daniel Price had a hearing npon the charge of assault and bat terv on Thomas Quade, at Third and Christian streets. Held In Sti0 bail. The notorious Hugh McAnauy, bailsman for the more notorious Jimmy Haggerty, oil'ered himself as bail iu this case, but the alderman very properly re fused to accept him, us his property is now iu the hands of the SlieriiV. Unknown Man Foim Dasokhoi'i.y iN.irKEP. Yesterday morning the police of the Seventh district picked up an unknown man at New Market and Margaretta streets, in an apparently intoxicated condition. He was removed to the station, where he remained in an unconscious state during the re mainder of the day. Towards eveniug a physician was called lu, who. on making an examination, lound a dangerous wound on the back of the head, which had evidently been caused- by his head coming in contact with a brick.

We have already pointed out the danger arising from a too enthusiastic discounting fit the effect' upon the earnings of our Western roads when thlseuter pii.e shall have been linislied. The Immense de cline In breadstuff's at the West, ranging from forty to lilty ler cent., should not be disregarded in mak ing calculation of the profits of our railways during the ensuing season, particularly as it mav more than offset the advantage to be derived from con nection with the l'acillc route.

If, on the other hand, It is the work of the cliques und combinations of Wull street, who have conspired to advance prices to make a market for their long-hourdod stocks, its su ss Is stupendous.
