Tim last advicos left it slightly doubtful whether the Congress really would assemble. Great preparations had boon made hi Paris for the reception and accommodation of the di plomatists. Since the treaties of Vienna w6re signed, in 1815, there has been nothing so much like a thoroughly European Congress as This—provided always that it take place. Tho Holy Alliance consisted of only the great Powers, but now it is proposed that th greater number of the European !OM rolgatles shall be represented, and have a voice, the Papacy itself included.

Naroutotes t itolley, so the . 133 that most inscrutiblo man allows it to be teen, appears very simple—viz, not to allow the Duchies to be saddled with their old rulers. England appears also much disposed to veto anyattempt to force back theso Princes upon an irritated and justly indignant race of patriotic men. Prussia's policy would be to oppose whatever would strengthen Austria, which such restorations would, and Austria, evidently sick of the contest, besides being nearly bankrupt, cannot desire to precipitate a now war by giving physical force nainst the The result of the war of 1859, we expect, will he to restore Independence to the Italian Ll'uchies, and to separate the Romagna from the estates of the Church.

ICorieepoudenee of The Pram] iVASIIINOTON, Jan. 25, 1.8130 Hon. Lawrence M. Relit, of South Carolina, oo oupled about two hours In a speech, one half of which was in review of Mr. Corwin'e effort of yes. tardily, and the remainder in defence and exposi tion of Southern principles. The latter portion was that nearest to the heart of the speaker, and more suited to his fervid powers. He was enthn• 'thistle for his nation, and sooner than yield its rights, would pull down the whole fabric of the Union. In this, he carried out the views of his colleague, Mr. Boyce. M'. Kettra manner is pe culiar. His brain, so to spook, is quite active and Impetuous, and his body, or rather its action, self possessed. His voioe tometiwes has an effective mellowness, but suddenly breaks into a shrill and bitter tone, which is not thoroughly articulate. his brain is of a metaphysical cast, and on matters of analysis he is much better than on matters of passion. Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, followed, but, rather suggestively, Unclaimed any Idea of indulging in any pyrotechnic displays of rhetoric. He desired not to castle the feelings of any, but to allay the excitement already existing. Branching into the Harper's Ferry outrage, be complimented Senator Hawn, who was on tho floor, and felt that the in vestigating committees of Virginia, and the Semite, having that affair in course of analysis, would con elusively prove that the agitation of leading Re publicans was wholly accountable for it. But Virginia would see that such disturbances should have an end. She had too blindly depended on the paternal care of the Central Govern. meat. Now she has buckled on her own armor. Ho announced himself as the author of the paper ,pledging metnbers to oppose, by all parliamentary expodients, the adoption of the plurality rule, He was proud of it as a Virginian, and was reedy to eat, drink, live, or, If need be, die on the floor, to prevent the plurality rule. I see by the report of the Regent of the Mount "tamers Association that the amount neeeatary for the oomplete purchase or the Potomac property has been raised and paid to John A. Washington, with the exception of about five thousand dollars. Surely the women of America have done nobly in putting their gentle generosity between the borne of Washington and desolation. Yet a couple of hun dred thousand dollars will be needed to restore and beautify the hallowed spot, and an income of sev eral thousand for its suitable ears and maintenance in future. The dilapidated state of our Washing. ton Monument rises before my vision and warns me that in all probability sotuothing more wilt be 'ne cessary than soliciting subsoriptions. The women of Amnion have done much, and done it gloriously; still I doubt not bat that the controllers and direc tors of the Mount Yemen Association will devise some practical means of raising the three hundred thousand &More nocesettry to prevent all their past efforts from falling foto uselessness, for want of funds to preserve that which they have purchased. It seems to me at this particular juncture, when all the country le looking towards this city and par ticipating to a groat extant in the wild notions pro pounded bore, that nothing better could be placed before the country and put Into the hands of fami lies than eomothing which might not as an anti dote. What could be better than the "Constitu tion of the United Stales," or the immortal "Fare well Address of George Washington," gotten up in an attractive style, which mould make it welcome to the parlor, and the boudoir as well as the li brary? Who could better offer this balsam to the wounded feelings of the country then the noble women who are striving to nave to posterity and for the Union—the whole Union—the home of the immortal chief, of the sage and hero who gave us the Union? None mild better interpose between the exciting rivalries of party than the Mount Vernon Aesoolation. By this moans they would confer a benefit on the country and raise the money which is necessary to complete their grand design. All parties emulate each other in homage to Wash ington. Yesterday, Corwin, oe the part of the North, invoked his name; to-day, as I write, Kola, on the part of the South, la boasting of their love for him. Men of all parties would purchase the Farewell Address. Then, again, a largo class of the people would not object, I think, to having a quid pro quo for their ostensible subscription for the putehaso of the home of Washington, or the elevation of the National Monument to him. We are a practical people. It has been the great ale ment of our success; and we cannot complain winch if even our patriotism takes or suggesta a practical torn. I firmly believe, by some such means no I bare suggested, tho National Monument could be capped In a short time; or the amount raised, through their excellent organisation, which the Ladies' Anoxia lion need for the continued preservation of the .Mount Vernon shrine, Apropos of Washington : preparations are being already mado for the Inauguration of the cquos trim statue by Chub Millson the 22.1 of the coming month.

Hocond Annual Message of Mayor To Me Spinet and Common Commie of Me City of Philadelphia : (insrt.multx : The communication of nu annual nintomont of the condition of the city, In relation to 114 government, (loaners, and Improvements, In obligatory upon the Mayor, nod with the fulfilment of that fluty hn may opportunely present such men• cares no ho domed expodlont for Ito welfare, and TOMY to events banging to the history of Its past your. The ailminletretlon of the municipal ordinances remains omberrasted from their frequent boon shiletielem, and the irregularity of their orisdietlon; few changeo Imbue been made In the r provisions since the consolidation of the oily. This perplexity will hi, remedied when the codifloation of those huts shell be completed by the experienced end Ale comtninsionern to whom It ix entrusted. The system of the munlelpni government of Phi lettelphin fells to centre in the Mayor the general powers needed for Its prompt and efficient adesini titration. If the several departmerde could he Owed In such relation to his offiee that he might regulate their functions, not by interference with the subordinate offleials, but through the respite- Dee chiefe, he might assure the responsibility with which he le now Improperly charged. Except so far as relates to the immediate supervision and di rection of the police force, n duty which might ad vantageoualy be devolved upon a thief toting under his control, the Mayor of Philadelphia to without authority to remedy any mal-administration whloh In his general care of municipal affairs be may die. cover, or to mimes the grievance forced upon his attention. The act of consolidation In requiring the Mayor to he vigilant and active in causing the lams end ordinances of the pity to be duly axe. outed," did not design that lie should exercise the mere functions of a Superintendent of Pollee, and yet it bee omitted to invest him with the power es- nettled tolticat4lsoharge of: th e duty Whiph It thus 'Oat& The` 'tiftehtnerrY titiosretVe&let, itt thee. of physical forces, requires ono regulating power; without which. however likely its various parts may be adjusted, there will be neither unity nor efficiency of cotton. A prosperous condition of the pity finances through the earlier months of 1859, was towards its close euooeedod by the usual embarraesment that has marked the end of each fiscal year, where not averted by any special relief. The influx of revenue from the payment of over duo taxes, and from other 1 , 01:170011 at the begin ning of each year. after discharging previous lia bilities, may, with current receipts, for a while defray the municipal expenses. As the receipts of the treasury gradually diminish, without any cot responding deoreaee in its disbursements, recourse is naturally had to temporary loans, in the futile hope that the contributions of tax•payers will of ford means to rotund those advances, and to dis charge the demands of its other creditors. But the account for each year, since consolidation, shows that at least twenty per cont. of its assessed taxes have remained unsettled at its termination; and such must continuo to be the case until some eye. tent shall be adopted for their collection that will induce payment In the earlier part of the year by judicious premiums, and afterwards compel it, through sufficient penalties. The aggregate receipts of the Treaeury during 1659, were $5,230,185.55, comprising besides ordi nary revenue, the proceeds of temporary loans, and also of portions of specific permanent loans. The balance. January 1, 1850, was $107,383.31, making the total amount with which the Treasurer was chargeable $5,427,568 76. The payments thereout, including return of temporary loan and due appropriation of the proceeds of the permanent loans, were 34.646.131.28. leaving in the Treasury, January 2, 1800, $761,430 48, to provide for the semi.annnal Interest on the funded debt, and towards the payment of that part thereof which bthjuet matured. By the annual report of the City Controller, It appears that the funded debt of the city of Phila delphia amounted to $21,010 486 56; of this debt $039,547 Sit mature during the present year, end for its repayment a loan of $700,000 was author ized by ordinance of December 10, 1859, which, with the available proceeds of investments of the sinking fend of ten millions, will be ample for the purposie.. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund hero now under their care, twelve dietinot funds, provi ded for the redemption of the city debt, to which will be added anew sinking fund for the recently authorised loan of $700,000. The credit to the amount of each of these differ ent funds on the 2d of January, 180, was as fol lows: - Siniong fund LnAml.

From the same source, $38,205.22 of the debt duo prior to 1850 was also redeemed, making a total of $115,171.21 paid during the past year from the proceeds of its investments. That the amount and time of maturity of the several municipal loans, most of which were ere cted before the consolidation of the city, may be definitely asoertalned, a system of registration has been adopted, under which no Interest can be paid until the presentation of the certificates of debt for endorsement, or, if that be Impracticable, until their accurate description be filed with the Tree surer. . , . The statement of the Controller exhibits en in debtedness of the city on the let January, 1880, fir ordinary liabilities, of $026,806.43, and swots for their liquidation, $591,184 56, in cash, besides $623,301.71 of the unpaid tuxes of SW, leaving en apparent credit of $287,700.00. This nominal balance must, however, be largely diminished for allowances to tar-payers end errors in assessment, the amount of winch cannot yet be accurately determined. The Receiver of Taxes, in addition to the usual ditties of his department, has, under the direction of Councils, been engaged In n condensation of the registry of taxes antecedent to 1419. After a careful revision of the records of the years 1851-5-6-74, the outstanding taxes for which upon the books of the Controller have been estimated at $831,291.81, it appears that the aggregate balancea of those years only amount to $318,815, of which, from various causes, $90,000 are but nominal ; thus reducing to $228,015 the suet to bo realized from such claims. The variance in the exhibits of these two depart ments Is occasioned by a want of cognizance on the part of the Controller of the allowances annually granted to tax-payers, and of the errors admitted by the City Commissioners for duplicate 1935083. ruents, the books of his department presenting as the outstanding amount for each year the differ ence between the sum of the gross duplicates and of their cash receipts. A ohnogo in the mode of assessing luxes is, In my estimation, not only desirable, but essential to the finanolni accefteitien of the city. Few of those elected assessors bare the requisite information to qualify them for the appraisement of real estate, but usually rely for their relates upon the valuation male by their predecessors in office. It not unfrequently happens that proper ties having a like recognised market value, IC lo• tested in different wards, vary largely in their as sessment, and thus, from the incompetency or par tiality of assessors, the citizen is liable to improper exactions, or may be unduly exempted from his just proportion of the public burden. Nor is the present system faulty In Its appraisement only, but also In its groat uncertainty of the location and di mension of the premises subject to taxation, and Is oven chargeable with frequent omissions of pro perty from any assessment whatever. The establishment of a board of assessment, in lieu both of the present board of revision and of the ward assessors, to be composed of at least fire citizens whose experience In the value of real es tate might enable them to adjust its fair appraise ment throughout the city, would, it is believed to a great degree, prevent the uncertainty and ine quality that now exist and afford but too valid onuses of complaint. The rate of taxes to be levied for the current year, by en ordinance of December It. Me, wile fixed at $1.75 on each hundred dollars of accessed valuation. The annual rate of taxation has never before been determined by Councils until after the general appropriations for the year have been granted, except in theyear 113,54, immediately upon consolidation. when aunts course was justified by the peculiar ciroumstanoes of the city. The Mayor cannot assume that the rate fixed by ordinance will not suffice for expenditures yet un specified, but if tbo supplies to the several spaniel pal departments were definitely ascertained, ho would be enabled to decide whether the revenue to ho derived from the tax levy will, with the other income of the city, prove adequate to the estimated demand upon the treasury. Having been thee precluded from the exeeelse of judgment upon the sufficianey of the , tax rate, and yet without the op portunity of assigning any legitimate objections te its approval. I have assented to the ordinsnen; but I cannot refrain from again urging aspen the City Councils the necessity for their utmost economy of appropriation, ft the credit and solvency of the city is to be maintained. From the report of the City Solicitor It will ap pear that the appropriations to his department amounted to $31,200, of which 27,363 23 have been expended. By his assiduous efforts, nett tbnso of his assist ants, $50,757.25 have been collected from manic!• pal claims, which, in 1857, yielded only $32,750.60, and in 1858, $38,893.66. The costs incident to the complete legal process on each claim amount to $l5 50, and are regarded by the owners of property sal jeated to municipal lieu, as undue exactions, In many cave where default In the payment of municipal claims is to be attributed to Inability rather than to wilful neglect, the imposition of these costa, to their full extent, is oppression. The subject merits the con sideration of Cm:molls, although the remedy must proceed from the legislative power of the State. Since the not of April 12,1059, the collection of registered taxes hat been transferred from the So licitor's department to that of the Receiver of Taxes, oeengioninz a modification in the arrange. meets of oath of these &pertinent& The practice by owners of suffering lions of re gistered taxer, and of municipal assessments for water pipes, paving. do., to he entered against their pronerty, and of repurchasing such property at sheriff's sale, discharged of those lien., fre quently for a sum less than the accrued legal costs, hoe become ro prevalent as to demand special legis lation. The annual loss thus ocnasioned to the re lame of the city cannot be definitely stated, but unluestionahly is of large amount. The liens of prior ground-rents and mortgages are protected from discharge upon sales for taxes or municipal claims, and when, as is frequently the case, such previous incurebrances equal the market value of the property, the city is debarred from the reoelpt of Ito revenge :indium judicial sale of the estate, parts with its supposed security there for, although Its expenditure In Improvements may have enhanced the value of the Imcum• TWO CENTS. branoes by whiob its claim ls defeated. If, with out effecting the validity of the prior !mum brances, the city might purchase all property sold by the sheriff, whenever its claim for taxes or nwossmcnts will not thus be realised, and might retain the titleos ithout liability for accruing rent or interest, thus preventing its farther alienation until snob municipal charges shall be paid, no lean or rovenue could be apprehended. There Wears boillit cocoon why the injudicious or fraudulent incumbranoe of real estate should, by absorbing the value thereof, he permitted to avoid the col lection of municipal revenue; bac in all such ellAr!! whatever Inconvenience or loss is to be ettf form! should till upon those who have caused It. and should not be shared by the whole com munity. The supervision of the Department of Surveys bee been given to the collimation of the four main culverts under contracts, authorised by the ordl !canoe of February 27, 1858. Of theme, the culvert in Vine, west of Nineteenth street bits been com pleted, and the ethers known as the Moore Street, the Cobookslok, and the Twenty-fifth street cut verb hare been advanced to nogreat extant as the peculiar diffieulties of each work and the unusual reins of the past season have permitted.

In addition to the progress of those main lines, numerous branch culverts or drains have been con strueted, in accordance with the provisions of the ordinanee of November 11, 1858, entirely at the cost of the owners of adjacent property, which to an extent of 22 832 feet have been reported to this department. The new drainage of various kinds provided (or the city during the past year amounts to 8 4-10 miles in length. The sectional surreys during the same period have extended over an area all 200 acres, comprising 220 miles of streets. The dedication of new streets to public use as the interest of property owners may dictate without regard to the adopted olßcial surveys, will, unless regulated by ordinance, wove the source of much future Inconvenience. No such dedication should he accepted by Councils until the Board. of Sur veys report neon its expediency and its pertinency to the general plan of mantel* improvements. An iron drawbridge over Frankfort' creek has been substituted for the old structure, affording greater security to travel and enlarged facilities for the passage of vessels. The lifarket•etreet, suspension, 710 d Girard-are nue bridges, whilst believed to be perfectly secure, will require for their better preservation the re pair* suggested by the Chief Engineer in his an nexed report. No effectual measures hare yet been adopted for the erection of the contemplated bridge over the Schuylkill at Chestnut street, although it has been long demanded for the public) convenience. The appropriation to the Department of Surreys in 1859, was 825,400, of which $23,787 87 have been upended. The disbursements of the Highway Department for the current expenses of 1830, have been $322,- 849 98, in addition to which $28,382 88 have been paid for the indebtednere of former years. Its receipts have been $21,277 00, or nearly 81.000 lees than the anticipated amount. The communication of the Chief Commissioner affords abundant eel. donee of the propriety of making the offiliel term of every disbursing dicer commence with the fiscal yenr. If, ashes frequently been the ewe, an undue proportion of the annual appropriation be expended by a retiring official, his suwessor muse either re strict the operations of his departmeut during the remainder of the year, or apply fee an ad iitionel amount. The expellees of the Highway Depart mast have, ever omen the consolidation of the city, been the source of complaint. The apportionment of the amid] appropriation among the several wards. according to their relative neseraities, and the further limitation of expenditures to periodical amounts, would, in a great degree, pre vent the unnecessary or extravagant employment of funds. The attempt to cleanse the streets of this city, under the existing system of contracts, continues to he a palpable failure, which is the only result that reasonably con bo expeoted. The law re quires thnt all contracts shall be awarded to the lowest bidders, and the benefit to be receired by the city will consequently be adjusted by the pau city of the Same for which the awards are made. The indefinite demands of the cleansing contract, at d the convenient labor that may suffice for iti nominal fulfilment, will always afford a recom pense, however small may be the consideration to be paid by the city; and the profits of the con tractor will inorease just as he reliea upon the rides to accomplish his work, or upon the cold to render It impracticable. The cleansing of the streets may readily be per formed during the night, after the hours of eon. tinuous travel, and by arrangement with the nume rous passenger railway companies the dirt could be carried, in suitable cars, over their roadways to the rural districts, where, far purposes of fertilisa tion, It would find a sale, by which the coot of its removal could be defrayed. Notwithstanding the large number of streets now occupied by passenger railway., but little advan tage has accrued to the city from the repairs to such highways by the several companies. The appointment of a superintendent of passen ger railways, whose duty should be to enforce the prompt fulfilment of their covenants with the city, to deemed advisable. Payment of the animal {i conic, which has been imposed by ordinance upon each car. has recently been refusal by some of the companies, and application has been made by them for a judicial decision of the right of the city to de mand such a charge. The revenue of the Department of City Pro perty. from rentals, ice , during the year 1859. was $27 239 95 ; the appropriations for its various pur poses amounted to $81.502 04 ; and its disburse ments to $8.2 830 73. The improvements at Fair mount Park and Hunting Park have been carried forward as effectively as the limited appropriations to those objects have enabled, and continual care has been bestowed upon the protection and adorn 'men! of the several public squares. The lot of ground adjacent to the west end of the county pri son has been re-dedicated es a public, square and parade ground, and when its boundaries shall be determined in accordance with the ordinance of November 21, 1859, it will require a mutable en closure and proper arrangements for its double purpose. The custom of using Independence Spare for public meetings might, with great propriety, be abolished, as a serious interference with its prefer. ration and culture. Although the Hall of Independence should be freely notessible to ♦testers, It is suggested that no formal reception of military, firemen, or other as notations, should be had there without the special permission of Cannells. The growth of the city may, in some degree, he computed from the annual statements of the build ing inspectors. The permits iemed for the erection of new buildings numbered 2 270, or 573 more than for the your 1959, making the total number of 8,433 permits granted Atone the organization of the department, J 3170 5. 1955. The revenue of this office is only' derived from permit fees, And Amounted to $6 Sl4 St, w hil s t it s disbursements were $T .535 55. The deficit in its accounts of 0631 74 is 01,528 73 less than the deb• (At of the previous year, the expenditures of tha two pears being alike The expenditures by the superintendent of city railroads, for the repair of the railway track/ own• ed by the city, amounted to $5,031.3.4, or $2 221 20 leas than the outlay for each purposes in 1956; while the receipte have been $14,7043 9.5. allowing an increase of $1,930 73 (vet those of the previous year. Tho removal of the track on Market vreet. between Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets, from the sides of the street to the former site of the market houses in its centre, has been auttiorired by Councils, but net yet perfected, owing to the late period of the year when undertaken. The de• mention of the market houses, east of Eighth street, now admits of a similar ro arrangement of the track on that T - 11.113n of Market street. which will tend to relieve the almost incessant postage nt care that incommode the neighboring stores and warehouses. The statistics of the Water Department for the past year are unusually gratifying, and afford con elusive evidence of the skill and effiedency with which Its affairs during that period have been managed. The quantity of water supplied by the several works amounted to 7.188 031,643 gallons, giving a daily average of 19,83 8 ,442. end showing en excess over the supply in 1858 of 329,805,889 gallons, or in Its daily quota of 900,239 The increase of the average daily stinnlyin 1859 over that of 1857, amounted to 2,329,124 gallons. The receipts of the department were 3514.128 19, being $OO 609 48 over the revenue of the preview' year, whilst its totot expenses were $205.862. 15, exclusive of the outlay upon the Frankford main. A new main for the supply of the first four wards has been constructed at a cost, with its connec tions of 3 , 120.098 75 and hes remedied the defi ciency of water heretofore experienced in those districts, not only upon the emergency of a confla gration, but even in the usual demands of house hold use. The expense of this improvement has been defrayed out of the proceeds ‘.4 the loan of $221,500, authorized by ordinance of March 17, 1859. A main has alzo been completed to Frankford, the cost of wbieh has been assessed upon owners of the properly along its line, but the payment de ferred until the first day of January, Lill, or the previous avail of its benefits.
