Mr. Hagen then administered the oath of office to the President, after which the new members were sworn in as Councilmen by the President. The members were then addressed by the Chair man as follows : Gentlemen of Common Council: —Again I am flattered by your confidence, which continues me the presiding officer of this Chamber. Entering upon this, my third term, gratefully acknowledg ing the kindness shown to me in the past, can I not look forward with hope that it will still be accorded me, and that together we will so per form the duties of our respective positions as to deserve the approbation and esteem of our fellow citizens. It is expected that we will take . good care of this groat city as far as in our province lies; that we will maintain her dignity; that the improve ments asked for—and they are of great magni tude—will be made so that they may not be re garded as merely great burthens of taxation, To insure a lull supply of water from the Schuykill, and to preserve its purity, a further extension of the Water Works has been com menced. As a sanitary measure alone, the im portance of this work cannot be overrated. A large sum will be needed for the purchase of land for Fairmount Park, and the necessary adorn ment thereof, ono advantage of which purpose, that of preserving the lenity of the water sup ply, outweighs every consideration of cost. It Is to be hoped that this measure will receive your hearty approval, and that the Commissioners of Fairmount Part, with the aid and co-operation of these Councils, will give to the city of Philadel phia a pack, the advantages and beauties of which may not only tend to the health and en joyment of our own people, but prove attractive to the many strangers visiting the city. We have long felt the need of a Reese of Cor rection, and there emus to be but little opposi tion on the ground of ntllity,—the difficulty lies in the choice of site. We have many advantageous situations offend to us. and there Is no doubt but that the ruceseity for such an institution will soon point out the spot and erect the proper buildings. Public buildluga for the accommodation of the Courts and their officers, the preservation of the records, and for the departments of the city, have long been wanted. Now that the measure has shaped itself. your aid will be required to hasten the completion of the proposed buildings. No argument will more fully convince you of their urgent necessity than a visit to the Court rooms and offices at present in use. Other improvements will claim your attention, and in all such measures a due regard to the beat interests of a great manufacturing and commer cial community should be your guide in the ex penditure of money. Of those who nave been fellow-laborers with me for the past year or more,l can bear testimony of an-ever earnest desire to promote the welfare of their constituents; and to you whom I meet for the first time upon this floor, I give a hearty greeting, believing that you also will make the public weal your highest ambition. That man's life is aimless who attempts to satisfy all men,--a Proper regard for the oath we have taken to dis charge our duties with fidelity is all that can be ratlike(' of ns. On motion of Mr. J. C. Martin, John Eckstein and Abraham Stewart were nominated and elected Clerks of Common Council. The election was made unanimous. On motion of Mr. Martin, James Zimmerman and Gavin Nielson were elected messengers. This was mlide by acclamation. The oath of office was administered to these gentlemen by the Chairman.

Most of our readers are al rcady.famillar with Mr., Bardeley's • name, and many know him personally as an aetive, cher getic and valuable member of City Councils. 'l6e same qualities that have , given • him, popa larity and reputation in politics have made; hie business a great success. • RiIMOVAL.-It wilt be perceived by an adver tisement in to•day's paper; that Messril.

This spactens and admirably constructed establishment will afford Messrs.

Bierwith & Rocholl, merchants, at No. 69 Pine btreet, were robbed on Sittirdo.y of a tin box containing $30,000 in bonds. Suspicion falls on three unknown young mon, who came into the office during the day to inquire about mat ters connected with Hamburg, Mr. Bierwith be ing a foreign consul at this pert: Tun matrix fact that Life Insurance has been most favored in the most intelligent cummimitles is exceedingly siguilicabh That alone is sufficient answer to the strange prejudice which leads some people co call the whole matter '•a humbug" and "a swindle." Any man le be laughs at Life Insurance pays a poor compliment while own Intel:act.
