It generally ; admitted,-I believe, that-Dr.' ; Thomas, B e nd-a :iterY distingulidied ' physician -in thieCityn hundred years ago- e deserves the credit of originating the 'movement which re- - salted - in the - fOundbig of the Pennsylvania: Hospital; yet it will not be the least disperage ing to his memory to inform the readeethat it was :main's , through the able. and wiseljedi rected efforts of his friend, Dr. Frankiih; that the success of this movement was, so early achieved.--, This inference, I- think, is con firmed - by the record of the - times, which in forms us—to ritiote a no less_valuable authority than Dr. Fraeklin's - own statement—that Dr. Bond came to lilut with the compliment that every one to whom be applied for subscrip tion inquired, q What does Franklin think about it 7 Have you colmulted him?" Frank lin, in answer to this, immediately subscribed, ' though, - eis -4 nit , letting the left hied know whit the right hand was doing," in matters of charity; had theirnot yet become an Obsolete scriptural - , injunction, the' amount subscribed forms no part of the record. - Franklin at once resolved to lend his beat efforts Mtge Rirthriricfce orthis humane en **else. - :*The press, •as: may be _ imagined, - was made the vehicle for "sectirink the favor , able attention , of the - public he its behalf, - --thougb it - seen became _ evident ; that private donations would: be inadequate_ to accomplish the undertaking..' Legislative arisietairce was accordingly invoked in its benelf, and it was, at this juncture that Franklih's auspicious labors were most signally,manifested. A-me morial was addressed to the iTravineial sembly, setting forth the niceebity for such an institution, end asking for a charter to the con tributors, and for pecuniary aisistanee. - This memorial was presented on the •23d of January, 1751,-and after melee hesitation, es - pedal's , on the pert of the - Country members, - a bill was Think pfislied on the 7th, of February, withouta dissenting yoke, incorporating "the Contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital." Wore it not for incurring it too protracted di gression, it greet dealt:eight...be said in reference to the history or the peerage ofthis act; a word or two in reference to ,it s however, seems to be indispensable. An objection made to this enactment by:members of the' Assembly Was,- that the coat of medical attendance would alone consume all the funds that could be raised for Sts support. ;This was promptly metby an Offer, on the part Of Dr. Lloyd Zachary, ander the two brothers Drs:, Thomas and• Phineas Bond, to attend the patients:gratuitously . for three years. -- AnothiT;Pbjectiern 'made, hoWever, and which was, perhaps, by- far the. more se- Tien in the minds of -members' from the corm trY, was, that - the ,appropriation asked for would beneft the citizens of the city exclu sively, and that it, would hence be an unfair tax epoitheir constituents. Here Priinklin's eagacity came brave)) , to • the ,reicue. , He called, upon , the opposition members to vote for a grant of two tnoneand - pounds, making it conditional that like amount was to be subscribed pi the citizens of Philadelphia. Doubting the possibility of raising ,ito large an amenntin the ,eity, 'for' this fpurpese, and being willing to aaseme a show Of benevolence at least, the country members assented to the - proposition aid ;passed the bill •.r appropri ating two thousand pounds, currency, towards the erection and furnishing of a build- , tug, to be-paid When an equal amount should be Subicribed by individuals to a permanent fund." 'This shrewd stroke'of policy on the part of Frenklire - ns the sequel proved, had the double effect of , securing the votes of the op position; and, it the 'same time; furnished to the citizens an inducement to give, rather than. lose the legislative grant, with,a degree of libe rality which probably no other incentive , could have procired.. 'lndeed, 'so marked eras the effect of this, upon, the public mind, that the act had been published but a very short time before are . abicemt considerably larger than the ono required by the_ charter had been sub , scribed, end the contributors e were in a condi tion to go to work:; , ' . -A meeting of theienumber Was accordingly held in the State' House for the purpoie of electing ?peers, and at wbicli time the follow ing nameCgeptlerimeweiceeboaen:as the first Boarder Managers of the institution : Joshua Crosby,„Benjamin tioines Bond, Samuel Heztird; Richard' Peto 'n rajsraiil Pem berton, -Jr., rSamuel Rhoadsi-- Hugh • Roberts, Joseph 7iferris, John Smith, Eyan Morgan, and Charles Norris.` The Brit treasurer `of the 'hospital'was John ,;, the first attending physicians, were Doctors Lloyd Zachary, Thomas and Phineas Bond; and•thetlret con suiting physielatai were 'Doctprs Grarime; Cad walader, lifoorre, and • - There are probably'none of our readers who will :not recognise- among this list of 'the venerated dead names long since femiliarly , associated -with the • history of our city and - State, and probably not a few wire will read. them over with an honorable pride , of having the names of their own-'-immediate' ancestors engraven upon the historic - page of our yenth ful city in so praiseworthy a connection.: Immediately after the managers wore elected,. an 'address was prepared by them, and for warded tie the proprietaries'of tire prevince ,- - : - then in England—Thomas and Richard Penn, owns of William Penn,) stating what' had been done, and, praying f e e the grant of a suitable, plat of ground Upon which to erect a building; In answer to this application, a charter was received from the proprietaries, conveying to _the corporation dot of ground lying on the -north side of Sassafras (now. Race) street, - -between Sixth and Seventh streeta—a portion ;of -the ground ,now included -in Franklin square. This grant, however, was 'not ac _ cepted by_the - board of managers, in' cern , sequence or an illiberal proviso which it was thought to contain. Notwithstanding this rejection, the idea of obtaining some, assist ance from the proprietaries was not aban doned ; in the meantime, however, the ma fingers went to Work to carry into effect the benevolent design of the subscribers by hiring a private house as a temporary hospital. ' The mansion occupied for this purpose was situated on the south • side of Market a short distance west of , Fifth street, was ihe residence' of Judge John Kinsey, and, with its grounds, oc cupied nearly one-third - or &square. • The rent paid for its use -by the managers yearly was forty pounds. "his - temporary hospital was opened in February, 1752,, and was used for that purpose for about four years.- The ground now Occupied and owned by the hospital was pnrcharred by the board in De cember' 175 e, for five hundred pounds, they having by that, time' despaired of receiving a suitable donation • ' from the proprietaries, though ilia duo to them to Bay that slaty feet of the present grounds, lying on Spruce street, were subsequently granted by them,together l with an annuity of forty pounds. Soon after this, preparations were commenced to erect a building. The part first built was the east wing, as it now exists, lacing 'Eighth street, and of which the corner-stonewas laid on the 28th of May, 1755, with the following ifisrip tion, prepared by Dr: Franklin :- •, IN TUE YEAR OF ORRIS?

LAN.Lits Fox, SALE.— THE ILLINOIS 0 ENTRAL RAILROAD OfeMPANY is now prepared to sell about 1,100,000 acres of choice Farming lands, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on long credits. and at low rates of interest. These lands were granted by the Government to aid in the construction of this Road, and are among the richest and most fertile in the world. They extend from North-East and North-Wist, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and Include every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, Interspersed with One groves, and in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates , alternating with beautiful prairica and openings. • The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the sir is pure and bra cing, while living streams and springs of excellent water abound. Bituminous Coal is extensively mined t apd supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being funneled at many pollute at 82 to j 4 per ton—and wood can be had at the same rate per (lord. Building Stone of excellent quality' also abounds, which can be procured for little more than the expense of transportation. The great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mould, from two to five feet deep, and gently roll ing; their contiguity to this road, by which every feel lily to furnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South, last, West. and the economy with winch they can be cultivated, render them the most valuable investment that can be found, and peosent the most favorable opportunity for parsons of industrious habits and email means to acquire a com fortable independence in a few years. Mow Is now the greatest grain market In the world; and the facility and economy with which the products of these lands can be transported to that market, make them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those more remote at government rates, as the addi tional odd of transportation le a perpetual tax on the latter, which must be borne by the Modneer, in the re duced price harm:elves for his grain, &a.

The fact that it does one-third more work in the same time, and does it better; that It Is the lout liable to get out of repair, being simple in its construction; that It makes the least noise, and that it is acknowledged on all hands that it is beet for a new beginner, has given the pro prietors a demand for it to such an extent that they aro obliged to delay the Oiling of orders in many cases for months. Over eight hundred are in operation in this city, and the case has yet to occur where a person who has purchased one has exchanged it for another kind. Taking into consideration, also, the fact that those who employ from 15 to 40 hands In their shops, doing the work for the manufacturers, without exception, use this machine in preference to any other kind, and al ways recommend them iu preference to others, it would seem unnecessary for the proprietors to advertise their excellence, or set forth their superiority.

For all lands upon which ashes are beneficial, the Marl more than a substitute. Professor Cook, in his annual report to tho Legisla ture of Now Jersey. says: "The value of them Marls Is best seen in the rich and highly cultivated district which has been Improved, almost made, by their use ; but it may be interesting to examine the causes of their great value in Agriculture, and to compare them with other fertilizers. For ()ample: The potash alone may be taken at au average of flee per cent. of the whole weight of Marl, a bushel when dry weighing eighty pounds, and in the proportion mentioned would contain four pounds of potash ; this is nearly as much as there is in a bushel of unleached wood ashes." And again-- it is probable that the great value of the Marl is to be found in the fact that it contains nearly all the sub stances necessary to make up the ash of our common cultivated plants. Price, delivered on board vessel, at the wharves of the company at Portland Heights, on Raritan Day, New Jersey, seven cents per bushel. Nor further particu lars, see circular, sent free of postage.
