8 CITY in YBLH U O II (J Qt tlTIZESVASSOCIATION. Annual Merlin- To-rinv Memorial t Conn ell. The.annual meeting of the mombers of the Citizens' Association for the Improvement ot the Streets and Itoads of Philadelphia was held In the Hoard of Trade Rooms at noon to-day. The annual report, of which wo published an abstract some days since, wag submitted and adopted. 'Ihe following memorial to City Councils was presented for the consideration of the members of the association: The Citizens' Association for the Improvement or the Streets ami Roads of Philadelphia, composed of many hundred of member, by Its olTlcers aid directors, respectfully represents to yoar honorable bothe: I tiat there has not been heretofore that active, efficient, and uniform Inspection of the work d.)ne and of the material used upon and la the contrac tion and repair of the highways of the. city of Ptitla delplna wh'.eh Iib true liderrsta demand. That t!i contractors for the construction and repair of high ways have taken advantage of the wait fir such proper Inspection, and have, shamefully disregard 3d th public interest, as well as the spirit aud trie litter of their contracts, thus cr.uiilijir haavy ex pense upon the city and serious losses upon our cl'liteim. That by reason of the want of such inspection, the wtatcnal nficd In the construction nnl repair aforo Haid has been largely unut for the purpose, and the work has been done In the most incillcient manner. Streets newly paved, and streets repaved, have in one year been nnflt for travel. Tnat the practice or ftn t'-iiirij cobble-stones hs been very connion. That the stones are too frequently pitched into posi tion. Tdat too olten no gravel is used at all, and rarely of the depth required by ordinance. Tint Batten have been used in violation of law, and without bclHg screened, mixed with cellar rubbagn, and even at the date of this memorial a pert of Federal street is being paved between Seventeenth and Eighteenth atreets without enrb. That this street lias been repaved several times within the past few years and Is iiuw being repaved upon a mud base at the ex pense of taxpayers. That gutters generally have been constructed in a manner dangerous to travel and injurious to the health of the city. Tht under their present mode of construction, (lltri accumulates therein, and cannot readily be cleansed by the washing or rains or by those whose duty It Is to clean the streets. That the streets of Philadel phia arc too narrow to justify the loss of space de voted exclusively to dangerous, unclean, and almost useless gutters, such as will always exist so long as the wretched system of paving with cobble stones is contlnned. Yonr memorialists have taken Into careful con sideration the subject of cobble-stone paving, and do not hesitate to pronounce such paving as dan gerous to travel and injurious to the best lnteiests ot the business ot Philadelphia. To the use or cobble-stone pavements do we largely attribute the lllthy condition or our streets; and although per haps cheaper In the beginning, they prove lniinitely more costly In the end. We ask ttiat the use of cobble-stones in the construction, renewal, and repay ing of all streets and cartways or twenty six foet and upwards In width be prohibited by rdluaace. Your petitioners also represent that citizens have been ordered to grade, pave, and euro sidewalks be fore there has been any plan of grades confirmed; that they have been ordered to do bo according to the confirmed plun of the city belore the street has been regularly and lawfully opened or widened bv processor law; that the railway companies utterly disregard their charter, and the laws and ordinances or the city of Philadelphia; that In violation or the recent wise and salutary ordinance or your honorable bodies, the Chesnut and Walnut Mreets Railway Company, at the date or this memorial, is using ashes in the repair of the streets between its tracks, of which due notice has been given to the Chief. Commissioner of Highways. Your memorialise turther represent that the records of the Citizens' Association show that the citizens from all sections of the city are pouring in dnily well-founded complaints of the shameful condition of the highways of Philadelphia ; that these complaints are invariably examined by a eareful inspector, and then a formal notice given to the proper authorities. When the complaint is against private citizens, they have upon notice In most cases remedied the evils complained of. Yonr memorialists respectrully submit that there Is a great want of skill and scientific care paid to tne construction and repair of our highways, and this is evinced in the want or specifications and lit the execution of the work; that the inspection during the progress of the work should be in the hands of careful and competent civil engineers and nnder the care of the Department or .Surveys, whose chier oillcerand surveyors have been placed in odlce by reason of their education as civil engineers. In this respect do the ordinances of Philadelphia, In the judgment of your memorialists, require altera tion. Y'our memorialists have caused two ordinances to be prepared, and submit herewith, which it is be lieved will to some extent remedy the evils com plained or, and we respectfully ask that they may be enacted by your honorable bodies. Yonr memo rialists beg leave to submit a petition lately made to the Court or (Quarter Sessions, and the complaints in its support against the several passenger railway companies, with the opinion or the court thereon, and we ask that Councils shall order lawful action thereon. Your memorialists rerer with deep regret to the fact that the community at large is dissatisfied with the manner in which the laws or the Commonwealth and the ordinances or the city relating to the public highways are executed by those upon whom the doty falls, and we, on behalf of our citizens, now appeal to you as the legislators of our city to take immediate and elliclent action In the premises, and we will ever pray. The memorial was also adopted. The follow ing resolutions were offered and passed: Hesolved, That the thanks of this meetina; be presented to the President and managers of this association for their important services during the past year, and that they may be en couraged to proceed with the Rood work com mitted to their management. Resolved, That the citizens be requested to continue and increase their support to this asso ciation.

George Morris, an English man, was found dead in bed this morniuir, in a iioue at Mount Airy. The acting Coroner was OLD JUS'S HOME. Annual lienor! mf the iHitanaera. The sixth annnal report of the managers of the Old Man's Home, situated at Thirty ninth streets and Powelton avenue, has just been issued in pamphlet form. The managers state that many persons have been, until recently, under the impression that all the respectable and unfortunate old gentle men of our city who need assistance are provided for by that excellent chailty, the Merchants' Fund Association, forgetting that men who have never been In mercantile business are just as liable to fall in any other pursuit they may be engaged in, just as liable, to grow old and inlirm, to lose lamily and friends, and quito as likely to need a shelter in their declining years, as those who have been merchants. Among the beneficiaries of the "Old Man's Home" are two who were once prosperous mer chants, one of whom is totally blind. Several have Lecn teachers, three were soldiers of the war of 1812. Iudeed, it Is well known that its bcnelits ate not restricted to the members of any particular trado or profession, and we hope that it Is destined to occupy a position which will enable us to receive under its roof many who do not fulfil the conditions which its present limited size compels us to impose. Now wo admit no one under the age of Eeventy, and yet we are well aware that age is not alnnys the true criterion by which the claims of an individual should be judged many men of eighty having more vigor than others of tixty or kss. We have frequently had applica tions from old gentlemen who were able and willing to pay a moderate compensation for their support, and who, having no near rela tives, and being tired of boarding-house life, were desirous to live where they might be sur rounded by genial society of their owu age, where they would be certain of receiving care and kind attention during sickness. The managers have for a long time felt the importance of erecting a more commodious buildirg. They have received during the past year peveral lcirncies and donations, amounting in nil to about c 18,000. Believing that the time had arrived for commencing this work, a special meeting was called in October last for the pur pose of considering the propriety of taking im mediate measures for building. A committee, consisting of one gentleman and three ladies, was appointed to take preliminary step3 by ob taining plans and spcci3eatious for a plain, sub stantial house, large enough to accoinmolata fifty inmates. An architect was applied to, and his plans having been approved, the work will be com menced earlj- in the spring. The family during the past year averaged 25, Including matrons and servants. The admis sion fee to the home is $150, and the conditions of admission are that the applicant shall not be less than seventy years of age, unmarried, and with no nenr relatives who are competent to maintain turn.

The directors' report notices tho erection of new bookcases in tue norm traiiery. cinci economy has been practised by the directors, and but few books have been added to the library. It is be lieved that the receipts of the comiug year will be greater tban tliev were last year, ana me library will, in consequence, be materially in creased. The reduction of the annual dues from seven to five dollars has not increased the re ceipts, us was expected. The treasurer's report shows a balance on hand of $s508-0, a large por tion of the funds received thus far having been used for u renewal of the insurance on the library for seven years. The mortgage debt of tbe iuctitulion remains inree mousauu aouars. A leuacy soon to be paid of one thousand dollars will leave only two thousand dollars to be raised for its Uonidation.

The annual meetimr of the Directors of the Boarding Home for Young Women was held at noon to-day at tho Home building. No. 1433 Lombard street. This institution was founded in 1805 for the purpose of furnishing board and the comforts of a home to working" young women at the mere cost of living. It was in corporated in 18'0, and is now in a flourishing condition. The report of the doings for the year shows that the home has been enlarged. and now accommodates noaraers. wncre De- fore it would only hold 23. It is always full. and more apply for admission tban can be accommodated. To meet the increasing wants, another home of the same character is now being started by the same lady who founded this. It is not thought desirable to enlarge the present home any further, as it takes away the borne leenng which it is tbe aim to foster among the inmates. The board of managers of the new home has already been formed, and a location is now being selected. 1 he new one will be located in an entirely different part of the city. The Home at No. 1433 Lombard street is en tirely under the care of members of the Pro testant Episcopal Church, though members of all denominations, of good moral character, are admitted as inmates. A large institution of a similar character, under the charge of no par ticular sect, is now also being started, and this is intended to accommodate a large number of boarders. The design of the church homes is different, and a small number In separate houses is there thought best. Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Deaf and Dumb Institution.

( The loan market is without a change or rutlle of any kind, but there is considerable movement in cold owing to l be ellorts of the Isew York manipulators for arise and the heavy shipments oi goia to iLurope in payment or me usual eprivg supplies.

"The general trade of the city during the past week waa uuetfia'aetory, and rather mora com plaint was head among the merchants, Host of whom anticipated that, with tbto let of Fibruary, ther would becousiiltrable buying asabiginuiug of the spring fade. The city hotel rtgistqs shov the prehcnce of a fair number of out-of-town merchants; but their purchases so far have lieeu continid to small lots. At the Cottun Ex change some Utile activity was felt after tit) news of the caplmlatittu of Paris, and particularly when the bullioi statement of the Hank of Eng'aud ou Thursday last showed a slight gain; but the Liver pool market continued furiously sluggist, aud speculation at tills point vat drooping at the close, with a thill market. In breailfctmra an active Itrjulry, bawd on the same influences, led to modtratelr large dealings, and on one day to an excited market, but toward the ud cf the week buyers refusal to follow the advancing prices of sellers, aui the market closed heavy and quiet. "In Wall street the unportaut news from Etrope has but trilling effect, comparatively. The truth Is, the spread of intelligence by the telegraph aui press has, so to apeak, produced a grand leveli ng of tue world sources of excitement and seusunm. The fall of Paris was ducounted long ago. our markets felt the Influence In advance, aud the event comes without abruptut-Hs or power to disconcert the even tenor of our financial and commercial ways. The Crat response, such as there was, came from the gold market, which answered with a ateady rue of about cue per cent In fact, the market was re luctant to move, and might, perhaps, have rema ned somnolent at tlie old figure of the mouth of Jaucary bad net eeveral prominent operators who are in me habit of initiating speculative movements overcome Its Inertia by purOiasIng several millions of gold. The street' took rnld lazily, in spite of this bril liant example, hm seemed content with small margins ; of profit, and hence each fractional advance brought om sellers. The legitimate de mand for gold lncki.y assisted tho operators who had gone in for a lancer riae, or the induferenoo of the markot generally would have saddled ttiem with their load. The heavy Imports since New Yaar'a, by occasioning a steady drnin of gold Into the Custom House, itrtdsh the at present only basis for the ad vanced figures of the premium. The German bankers took more Interest in the market than irstal, but followed no continuous policy, the buyers of one day having been the sellers of the next. The disappointment of the 'bulls' it the gain In the Hank of Kugland s stock of bullion and consentient refusal to alter the discount rata ptoducad a necllne on Friday, which wu ac celeraVd by speculative sales. Tho last days of the week saw an exact reversal of this movement on the report, whlrh wis tndiiBtrtonsiy circnlated In the fold Room, that (Jneral Datler, thn great An glopjoblst, at luast on the Alabama question, was to be tendered the place of Secretary of btate In Fre sldm Grant s new Cabinet "Tbe rates for money were steady throughout the Wf 1 1 at four to Ove per cent, where t he collaterals pledged were Government bonds, and live to aix pet rent, upon miscellaneous securities. In fact, the surply gradually increased at these rates, and toard the close some difflcnltv was fonnd la en deavoring to get better than Ove per cent, npon the active stocks or such as have a ready market every boor In the tiny. The best feature of the Ptson Is the greater facility with which commercial p per Is discounted, tie fact Indicating both a con fidence In the mercantile community and a full sup ply of money. Prime acceptances were taken quite freely at seven per cent, and where the paper was strictly excellent borrowers had to a low even a smaller 'shave.' The foreign exchanges were firm In the vicinity of the shippine point, but It remains to be seen whether the leading bankers have not been too timid about drawing, for the clrcnmatanoes on which rates were advanced during the week have been discovered to be in some degree Oetl tlous.''
