THE CITY OF PIULADETPIIIA. ANNUAL MESSAGE OF- MAYOR HENRY. [Concluded frcm yesterday .] The receipts of the Girard Estate Tor the year 18(53 were, $171,523 09, and the disbursements, $171,501 94, - or which the sum of $83,580 09 was spent for the maintenance of the College for Or phans. One honored pupils have been added to thq pre vious numbero! its inmates, and the buildings of the Institution ore filled to their reasonable capa city. Th* greatly enuanced prices of most articles of food and clothing will materially increase the cost of supporting each pupil, and as the generous founder of the College designed, rather to promote the libeial welfare of a limited number than to diffuse more scanty benefactions among the many, a prudent and ju*t policy must restrain the Direc tors* fr* m an/ effort to extend- its advantages be yond the present numbej of recipients. The rich coal lands belonging to this estate, after many years’ delay, promise an important income ir- m their leases. The disposal of taese valuable mining right: should only take place after fair and open competition, and to prelude ail nndue in fluence in obtaining preference for their leasing, the privilege of occupancy should be soldatauc tion in this ci r y after lull advertisement. The sui - brought by the heirs of Stephen Girard a ?*v • city for the recovery of a large portion oi these lands, af.er a decision in their favor by the common Pleas of Schuylkill County, was argued in May last, before the Supreme Court of the htaie, and the judgment of the inferior tribunal wafe xevtrstd, ihus securing this property from ht-iug diverted from the purpose for which it was devised to the City. The maintenance of the Blockley Almshouse With its average population of 2,490 iumates has r* quired an increase of expenditure equivalent to 21# cents for their individual support each week, or, the aiffereuce between $1 22# for each ihmate in J&62, and $! 44 during the present year. The expenses of the institution were $24 ,088 75, inad oitioa to its revenue of $15,203 97, derived chiefly from paj ments of fines and emigrant tax. The imposition of head-money upon the arrival of emigrants at this port has been ihe subject of much complaint by ship owners, and is, doubt less, impolitic in its tendency, yieldiog but tri fling income to the city; (the emigrant tax for 1863 amounted to $3,159 00, and was but $1,316 00 in the previous year,) and probably preventing many lrom being landed in the city who wouldother wise make it their destination. Should a line o steamship. l be established between this city and European ports, the propriety of abolishing this tax w ould be more apparent than from it» present comparative insigniacance. Tbe average population of the Almshouse was sixty less than in 18G2. The children's depart ment has one hundred inmates, and the advan tages ot its treatment have been marked. The Lunatic Asylum has-had 859 cases under its care, of whom 534 remained uncured at the close of the year. The statistics furnished by the Board of Health, as compared with those ot its preceding annual report, show bnt little change in the average rate of mortality-within the city. The interments were 15,768, being 691 more than the retnrns for 186-2, but deducting from the registries of both years, the number oi still-born, and also of persons who died ont of the city limits, the difference between the two periods in the ratio of deaths to the population is hardly appreciable. The mortality in 1863 being 10 to 435 inhabitants, and 10 to 432 in the yearpre ceding. This estimate is, in the latter instance, based upon the census of 1660,'bnt the other com putation includes the sopposedpopulation of Phila delphia during the year just closed. The registered birtns were 15,293, showing an increase ot 552, and the marriages that were re cflrded numbered 5,474, or, 812 mere than the pre vious annual statement. There was no epidemic or other Occasion re quiring quarantine regulations during the past season other than a formal inspection, although the arrival of foreign passengers greatly exceeded the emigration in 1662, as did the number of vessels that were visited. fiMany or the quarantine laws now upon the tatute Book have becomeobsolete, while others of them are ill acapted to existing usages, and it is theiefore recommended that such modiacat on of ti eir enactments as experience proves to be desira ble, should be sought during the present session of the Legislature. The subject of burialß within the densely peo pled ponions ol the city has been repeatediy pre sented by me lor the consideration and action of Councils, but X cannot refrain from agatn urging the prohibition of such practice as a measure of great Eanitarj value, and 100 well attested by the results ol s ientiflc research to admit any question as to its expediency. The benefits of vaccination have been afforded to 4,028 persons in accordance with the ordinance making provision for it by public expense. The Commissioners charged with the erection and management of a Municipal Hospital, have selected for its site premises on Hart Lane, in the Twenty-first Ward, belonging to! the citv, and have effected such exchange of property with the owners of adjacent land as will secure to the In stitution an entire square of ground. A contract has been made 'or putting up the necessary ac comodations for patients with contagious diseases, and the buildings will be completed duiing the present year. Appropriations amounting to ?50,- UOU have been made to the commission, of which $523 62 were expended for incidental purposes. The payments from the treasury towards the expenses of the Fire Department, have amounted to 568,069 19, which were mostly disbursed in the maintenance ol 36 steam fire engines, 33 hand en gines, 117 hose carriages, and 10 hook and ladder trucks. The ambulances, 33 iu nnmber, belong, ing to several companies, have continued to ren der valuable and humane assistance in carrying sick, and wounded soldiers upon their arrival in the - city, to their destination. The ability and piomptness of the Depart ment in extinguishing fires and preventing Wide-spread con llegrations have been made repeatedly apparent, and have sustained its repu tation for efficiency. The force of the Department has been increased by 9 steam fire-engines, adding, according to the present rate of appropria’iou, eighteen thousand dollars to its yearly expense. The opinion expressed in former messages, that the steam engines in service far exceed those required for the public security, is still entertained, .and the long continuance of the present system will in a great me,sure depend upon the exclusion of other companies applying to be located with steam ap paratus, and thus adding to the already onerous ccst of the Department. The commitments to the County Prison were 17,219, being 2,563 more numerous than those in the preceding year, of which Increase the propor tion of female prisoners largely preponderated. The 1 cost of the institution wasS52,U4B 81, showing the economy which continues to rule its present management. The revenue ‘amounted to 51C,322 37, from the proceeds of labor,and from the keep*of prisoners held under federal authority. Tiie amount expended for the Police Depart ment, was $433,226 20, being 51,933 62 less than its cost for the preceding year Ho addition nas b'ea made to the corps, although the steady extension ol population and improvement, particularly in the First, Fifteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty.second and Twenty-fifth Wards, demands a police super vision that is wholly impracticable to afford unless by withdrawing the patrol from their usual duties in the of the city. Since the reduction of the force in 1956, mope than 17,25) new buildings have, been put up within the mu nicipal hounds, but only twenty-one additional policemen have beeif authorized, and that specially lor new seryice in the harbor or ia the parks. The drill and discipline ot the force have made it com petent and reliable in any emergency where its' co-operative power shall be needed, but its num bers must be increased to enable its officers in their patrol capacity to offer reasonable protection to peiscns and property in the districts lately built up, and I, therefore, recommend that authority bs given to appoint, at least one hundred additional policemen, believing such measure to be demanded by every prudentand really economical considera tion of the public welfare. The construction of a new station in the'Seventh Police District was postponed In consequence ot the insufficiency of tte appropriation to meet the iB creased expense of building, but it is believed that more favorable arrangements will be made to accomplish that purpose. The arrests reported by the several Lieutenants numbered 34,059, which with 596 mads by the officers charged with the repression of vagrancy, and 551 by the Detectives, give the aggregate of 35,197, or 7,062 more than were made in the pre ceding year: - The classification ot these arrests and their com parison *wiih similar returns for 1862 afford the fol lowing results: j • Breaoh of Peace and disorderly ; conduct 14,093 16,819 Intoxication •(£•'.. 6,352 8,782 Assault and Battery 1,615 2,380 Larceny and Suspicions the: eofi i. 1,567 2, 157 Vagrancy 1,350 ,j ulo Misdemeanors.. 455 7U Passing Counterfeit Money —lB4 107 Disorderly Houses, 169 223 Corner-Lounging .. 352 170 Interference-with Officers 103 107 Beating Wife, **’ $q \ 72 Kiot, or inciting thereto o> Picking Pockets 2? - -4 8urg1ary.......

The total estimated de struction of value by fire amounts ly Stuo.ooo. of whieh-about $240,000 was coveted by insurance. Durmg the year 1863, it is known that one bun dled apd twenty-three persons out of he popula tion of this city were fatally or seriously burned by accidents from the careless use ot horning fluid, matches. &c., besides many cases that have never been publicly reported The necessity is daily becoming er<.aler for the passage o. an Act by the General Assembly of the S ale, to protect properly in this city trom the dangers attendant upon the storage and transpor tation of petroleum. The desite, of inoi*iduaf gain 6houid not be sufferei to jeopardize so emi nently tht* interests of the community, and the re str:c ions which lave been placed upon the hous ing and ealeof gunpowder, 3 might with few altera tions be advantageously and properly extended to this new commodity of aimost equal risk m its possession. The Police and Fire Alarm Telegraph parsed 46,302 messages over its wires, assisting araoog other valuable results, to restore 3,155 lost children to their homes, and 1,256 missing adults: to give 433 descriptions of counterfeit notes to store keepers, and to recover '1,141 stray animals, and 428 Jost vehicles An extension of the Fire Alarm to the engine houses yet unprovided therewith, will subserve the public interests and the conveni ence of members of tbose.companies appa ratus is kept there, and should be accomplished as soon as a wise economy will permit. Tfce Committing Magistrate authorized by the Mayor to sit at the Central Station,has heard2,oso charges, andin 21 other cases theproceedings were he d before the Mayor. * - The projected establishment of a House of Cor rection has from various causes been postponed from season to stason, until its actual construction appears hopeless, and yet its urgent necessity is greater to-day tban it ever has been. The great evil of the present time, that of intemperance only excepted, so far as relates to the police adminis tration of a large commui ity,is a want of parental restraint oyer the children who fill the streets and lanes, and who receive their first lessons in lawlessness and contempt for all au thority from iheir own homes. The experience of the last three years, warrants the assertion that more than one-half of the services of the police force have been required to protect the community from the petty depredations and mischievous pro pensities or practices of boys under fifteen years of age. For this class of young offenders, the disci pline of a House of Correction, would present wholesome terrors, while for that older and larger class who would eat the bread of idleness,although w r ell able to labor for their maintenance, such da institution would make of them producers instead of mere consumers The depor mentand service of the police fo-ce are constantly before their , fellow-citizecs, and whilEt I deem it due to its members to express Kn own entile confidence in their trustworthy and efficient performance of the duties with which they are charged, I willingly leave their repot i tion asa body, to the appreciation of the com mnnity whose property they have protected, and whose peace they have preserved uninterrapted, through scenes of imminent peril. I may not however, refrain from stating that when in June last a rebel invasion threatened an advance upon the capitol of our State, it was with mnch effort tnat by far the greater number of the police were stayed from hastening to join those who were ta arms tor the common defence. JUI who could possibly be spared with dne regard to the imme diate interests of the city, were permitted to volun teer their services, and whilst absent, they re flected credit upon their organization, bv their discipline end conduct. The Commission instituted m the month of April, ISGI, to superintend the distribution of pecuniary aid to the families of volunteers from this city, has during the last year disbursed 56)1,923 91 for such purpose, including SJ 44) io: the expenses incident to their trnst andhave made 2L0,b94 payments to families entitled to the relief piovided. The total amount distributed bv the Commission from its creation in 1561 to.tbe end 'Of|lB63, has been 51.620'.?h6 40 requiring on the part of ihoee who have shared in its labors, a watchfulness, patience and zeal, that cannot’be too highly estimate!. In July-last Councils appropriated half a mil lion of dollars toprovice lor the immediate defence of this city. Of that sum. 83", 93225 was expeud-d by the Mayor under lherequUuioneof the several Generals who were sue cessively detailed bv the Federal Government to superintend the erection of necessary foriilicaiions an a earthworks. The dis bursements were ctieily for the pay of laborers, and for tbe materials reqnired in the construction of-the defences, a part of the appr priation being med to defray the cost of a carelul topographical survey ol the ciiy and its vicinity The expenditures tor this object shonid be re im bnrsed to the City by the General Government; and it is believed that wh-n presented with the proper vouchers such payment will, in due time, be made. The claims ot the owners of property taken possession of for the sitesoi defensive works. haTe not yet be*n settled, but have been deferred in the expectation that the United States will as sume the whole cost incurred. The prompt offer by Prof. A. D. Bache, Super in'enden’ of the United States Coast Survey, upon the first alarm of danger to our City, of his own services and those of-the corps under his charge, and the zealous and untiring interest which he dis played at great personal inconvenience without remuneration, entitle him to the grat-ful remim of the Councils and people of Philadelphia. From the last named appropriation the sum ol SGGjCMi was also paid in bounties, of 525 each, to volunteers from this city for the defence of the State, who did not receive an equivalent from at y other fund. Since the commencement of this year claims for 53,050 for this bounty have been proven and paid. In December an ordinance was passed, appropriating 51,250,rai, to enconrage the enlist! n ent ol lecrnlts under the then recent call of the President, by- payments of 8250 to each volunteer who shonid be duly- credited to the quota of Phi ladelphia. A commission of five gentlemen was formed for the proper distribution of this fund The pay ments made prior to the ctsse of the year nmonh ed only to 556,000, bat under supplemen tary appropriations the - disbursements which hav e been made to the present date, increase that amount to 53,262,246 33. The report °f the Brigadier-General commanding ‘Home Guard.” gives an extended statement or the incidents connected -with the rebel invasion oi Pennsylvania, and their threatened approach to this city m June last, and also of the numbers, equipment*, and condition of the iniiitirv force under his charge. J . 'Within the last three years, repeated efforts have been made to induce the-citizens ol Philadelphia to organize for the protection of their City and State against the possible incursions of a desperate and vindictive foe. These efforts hare been attended with hut partial and spasmodic results; and, alter two occasions of alarm, within successive years this whole community has relapsed into the parai ly zing-apathy of fancied security, perhaps to be again aroused by dangers yet more startling than any which have heretofore occurred.

The growing tendency of representative bodies to authorise a profuse expenditure of public .money, which is to be mainly attributed to their unaccustomed dealing with sums of wealth that surpass tbe m st extravagant conceptions of former times, hut have become the famitiar con templation of to-day—should be sternly re inked •and cheeked and the utmost thrift that may com port wi'h the welfare of the commuuity shoulo shape every legislative • ac , Thirty- years hence, the generation, that is to iollow, must oe called upon for the prin cipal of the municipal debt which is now created The burden that >hall he thus devolved upon th*m for tbe sake of a lust war, will be their proper con tribution toward the cost of National prosperity and honor. But, letnot theimpiovidenee of those now charged with the.municipal government heap an indebte-dtesb upon posterity that should be honestly defrayed by those who had whatever benefits it has afforded. The record of Philadelphia, from the beginning of the war, that has for almost three years scourged ibis land, may justly call forth the pride of iis p-eople. From the first summons lor aid to sustain the national honor, no other community has re sponded with more alacrity to every appeal for the services of its volunteers, or for the contribu tions of its treasure. Ih no other place has the cheer of hospitality been more generously giveu to aU who merch under the flgg ot the Union, and no where has there been more kindly care for the sick or wounded defenders ot our country’s cause. Tbe excitement of popular commotion has never subverted the good order of tbe City, or aimed to despoil its wealth, and ti e hand of disloyalty has not been raised within its bonnds for impotent re sistance to the sovereignty ot Federal power. Tbe unfaltering patriotism and zeal wnich hith erto have distinguished this city, give assurance that its strength and wealth will be freely con tributed to our country’s need, nutil all resistance to ronstitntional authority shall be overcome, and tbe honor of the natoin be .completely vindi cated in its confessed supremacy throughout the land.

No iady shonid be wlthont them. We have letters si most every day from ladies of ths Highest respec- tability, telling ns they would not be without the French Periodical Drops for anything.

Ibe Meta.Hu- base of this- Paint is composed of ib*- Protoxide at:d Peroxide of Iron. Its proper* ties are su.b as to give iteuperiority overall others in the market for the purpose for which it is re commended. \- ✓ ' . It has been proved by thorough exposure, and by comparison with othe- paints, to be the only re liable Paint to resist the action of salt water and salt atmosphere. It is therefore especially recommended for ship bottoms, bulls, decks, boiler fronts, smoke stacks and eu-am pipes, For iron railings, fences, cars, railroad and other bridges, it is not excelled. It adapted for _ _ . VtETAL ROOFS.’ It is not affected by acids of gases, and is a per fect protector against rust on metals, and from dampness on brick walls. It mixes and blends readily with other paints, and by comparison to the amonntof surface a given weight will eor*»r, costs about one-half as much as other Metallic Paints. Wherever this Paint has been used, it has given. extiss satisfaction, which is, we believe, more than can be said of any other paint in the market.
