The Government Hospitals of the City. There are five Government hospitalsin this city. They are located as fellows: No. 1, corner of Broad and Cherry streets; No. 2, corner of Twenty-second and cal lowhill streets; No. 3, corner of Fifth street and York avenue; Ivo. 4, Twenty-third and Lombard street;NG. 6, Christian street, below Tenth. These buildings have a united capacity for the accommodation of about three ithoesand patients. El= The Sanitary Commission, in a recent report, gives the hollowing points which must be attended to in the conduct and arrengglit‘hi of army hospitals. Large publie build ings, such as churches, concert-rooms, atm public halls, are commonly employed as general military hospitals. It is often necessary to make extensive alterations to adapt them to their new use. Special regal d should be paid to 'ventilation. Ti e doors and windows usually require to be enlarged. especially in an upward and downward di rection; or numerous holes eix inches lmen" may be made through the walls near the Poore and ceilings, There should be doers and windows opponte to each et her, So as to allow the air to pass freely through in all direc tions. The patients should not he placed in stories below the level of the ground, or but slightly raised above it, us experience has shown that the upper Stories are much tuore salubrious The beds should be raised from the moor, being placed on Iron bedsteads whenever they can ire obtained. No two bedsteads shoran, be in con tact, end none should touch the Walls of the room. No amnecessary articles should be in the wards, as they oc cupy valuable space, and absorb noxious vapors. Caro Should - be taken that the windows do not open upon any receptacles of foul air. nesidts the principal hospital building there should Leaman detached houses reserved for special cases. Great attention should be paid to urains connected with the hospital, to prevent them from con- taminating the atmosphere. Patients who are able to rise from their beds should eat in tuijoining rooms or tents. 7/10 11 . 41115 of the hospitals should be divided into three classes, viz: surgical, medical, and convalescent. To every division of one hundred bede there should be at least one ward superintendent and six ordeily men. When the hospital is prepared, the compound fractures should be placed in the most accessible wards, and injuries of the same character should be placed in the same wards. When wine or spirits are directed, the surgeon should see thezt administered. To preserve the purity of the air, the wards should be frequently whitewashed with lime. The adjacent grounds should be well drained, and the sewers should be framently flushed. This is located at the southeast corner of Broad and Cherry streets, in the massive brick building (sanded in imitation of stone) formerly occupied as a freight depot by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company. It le the headquarters of the surgeolt-ill-Chief, and la the )largest of the sire bilildilllo. Its dimensions are 110 feet gry 150. It has been furnished with between five and six kundred belie, which are by no means crowded. The pick wards occupy the whole extent of the building, and every bed may be seen at a glance, there being no inter vening partitions. It is well ventilated by four shafts (formerly used as hatchways). Improved cooking appa ratus has been introduced, and also a dumb-waiter tor Rending food, etc., to patients on the upper floor. The following is a list of the omeers of the eatabhsh- Omit: Surgeon in charge, Dr. John Neill; assistant surgeons, Yarrow, Woodhouse, Harrison, Allen, and Her. M. Bellows; medical cadets, Messrs. George W. Shields, S. IL Corson, J. N. Corson, James Tyson, and W. R. D. .131ackwood; hospital stewards, John Patterson and Wm. /1. Evans. These gentlemen are now kept constantly employed in attending fo the numerous wants of their patieuta, Ott 'Wednesday last, 260 soldiers arrived here hem the vat- cue hospitals of Washington. The cars containing theta were run directly to the hospital door, thus avoiding a transfer at the Baltimore depot, which would have con istaned much time and must have entailed much danger upon the invalids. About a dozen of the men were so badly wounded that it was necessary to carry them in oa Ptretcbere. The othere were mile to walk. Their ail. =ants, for the most part, consist of rhenmatisms, colds, and bronchial affections. After being tarnished with a ripper, they were conducted to the sleeping wards and retired ' to TM. Orders having been received from Washington a week ago to prepare for the reception t f five hundred patients, it was thought that the remaining two hundred and forty would arrive yesterday or to.day. The object of the de. penmen% at Washington is to have as much vacant accommodation in the hospitals of that city as possible, in the event of an engagement with the rebels. The follow ing hospitals have been designated for the reception of the Washington patients Christian• street hospital, Fifth. street hospital, and Broad- street hospital. THE TWENTY. SZCOND.STREBT HOSPITAL. The hospital at the corner of Twenty-second and Wood Ittreets will accommodate about three hundred patients. It ie not as yet in operation. It ie four stories lu height. ale fast floor will be used as the dining.retn. It is Seventy-five feet by twenty-five feet. The kitchen (d 8 by 16 feet), bath-roorn, and water-closets are also upon this Moor. The second, third, and fourth Ito ire are the sick wards. They are each one hundred feet long and twenty five feet wide. They are well ventilated, cleanly, and heated by steam. THE FIFTH-STREET HOSPITAL. This building is five stories high. and will accommo date 250 invalids. The basement will be used as the kitchen, being furnished with cooking apparatus, hot water, etc. The system of ventilation, by means of ahem, has been here introduced. The following officers of this institution were appointed a few days since: Surgeon in charge, Dr. Meredith Clymer; assistant sur- Wens; De_ It. J. Dueglisoss, Dr. Wm. Ili. Breed; medi cal cadets, J. A. McArthur, C. M. King; hospital stew ards, Lea Nichols, Fred. Brown This is one of the hos pitals which have been ordered to be platen in readiness for the reception of the Washington invalids. THE TWENTY-TH/RD•STEEET HOSPITAL Is located (to be more definite) at Twenty-third and Lombard streets, in the building formerly ussil as a silk factory by Messrs. Lewis Sr. Brother. It is vacant as yet. It will acconunoilate from 200 to 300 patients. On the first floor are the kitchen, wash-room, apothecary department, and officers' rooms. Water-closets am! bath rooms have been introduced into the several wards. Cold and hot water has been introduced throughout the satire building, and proper rentilation is secured by Wall of gale:inked iron. ll= This establishment is otherwise known as Military Bospital No. 1, havirg been the first of the tive to open. It Lae now some sixty or seventy patients, and, contain ing but eighty beds, is nearly full. It is devoted to tho reception of invalids sent from regiments of eke city and 'Vicinity, or such as were too sick to accompany their regiments from the City. The following is a list of the officers: Surgeon in charge, Dr. John J. Reese; medical cadets, Mr. R. Kelly, Edward Brooks; hospital steward, Benj. Hallowell. DETIES OF MILITARY SURGEON'S. Ire principal duties of the medical staff of the army are comprehended in the two classes of military hygiene and military therapeutics. The former of these two class es, although it attracts much less popular attention thin the latter, is by no illefiLS inferior to it iu practical im portance. The statistics of armies clearly reveal the fact, that a much larger number of soldiers die from Iliseas«, 'Vomiting from unfavorable hygienic cireumetances, than I fromwoundsinlliebAl in battle. ,4 The duties of a mill Lary surgeon consequently involve a high degree of re • sponhibility. and upon their skilful and faithful perform ance the efficiency and 811411COSS of armies is largely de pendent." PREPARATION OF FOOD AND DRIVES The United States Sanitary Commission, in their re tort to the New fink Academy of Medicine, ou military 'hygiene and therapeutics, says: It is highly important, scot only that the supply of food should be ample, but that its quality should be good, and that it should be in Bach a form that it can be prepared for use as speedily and with as little labor as 'possible. There should be a regular allowance of meat and vegetables at dinner, whenever it is practicable to furnish them. Soldiers should not be confined for a long time to salted meat: bat fresh meat should always be allowed whenever it can be obtained. The use of fresh vegetables is of very great importance, as a means of guarding against scurvy. Fruits should also lie provided in their Limon, tither in P fresh or dried state. El= The medical cadets provided for by a recent act of Congress have already been appointed. Three of them are to be attached to each hospital, where they are re lauired to be alwa3 e in attendance. The cadets arein tact students of medicine. They are required to assist in drossing wounds, etc., and time have OIL opportunity ci becoming acquainted with the practical requirements of their prolession. At the same tame they are familiarized with the rules and regulations f the service, some of which are different in military from civil hospitals. The Government has provided them liberally with all the requisites of the position. They are furnished with quarters, cooked ratimie, light, heat, etc., and, together with the assittant surgeon, are to re side in the building. The lolloaine is an extract from a asetioa of Senator Wilson's hilt, read iu Congress in January lent, and pro iding for a reorganization of the medicaldepartment of the army; "There shall be nott exceeding one hundred medical cadets, who shalt not be less than eighteen, nor more than twenty-three years of ago at the time of entering, who shall be examined by a Board of Medical Officers, in ouch branches of medical and sanitary science as the di rector general may order, After three years of con. Liaisons medical service, and on their producing proper testimonials of character from the medical officers with whom the) have served, they may be examined for pro - , tion by a Board of Medical Officers of the army. They ye the rank, pay, and emoluments of the highest i non-commissioned officers of the army."

As the cireum stances of the murder are still fresh in the minds of our readers, it will be remembered that Maley was arrested tome wetks since on the same charge; but at the Iter ing the evidence elicited was not of sufficient strength to warrant his committal for trial, and he was subsequently discharged from custody. On Tuesday evening last he was again arrested in Twenty-second street, below Coates, by Chief Franklin and George H. Smith, of the Detective Police force. A hearing of the case was to have taken place at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, hut was postponed on account of the inability of the District Attorney to be present.

She re membered that John Connelly was killed on Wednesday evening ; I wits present when. Connelly was killed; I was on au errand in Pearl street, to ace a lady by the name of Mrs. Nugent; when I was coming home I saw two men standing at the corner of William and Biddle streets ; I never saw Connelly ; ono of the men said to the other good evening," and also, what did you go tell for 1" There was something else said ; I couldn't hear what, and then one of the men said o I'll let you know what I told for ;" I thought they were playing ; several blows took place before Connelly fell ; the two men then ran down Biddle street; I have seen John Molloy before. (Looking at ktelloy,) That Is the one before me that much IDS; I saw Molloy before often ; be is the one that done it • I followed the body of Connelly to his home, and afterwards went home ; I think Malloy had on dark clothes that evening. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Neil.—A man came out of tho tavern while I was standing there ; I stood there to bear what the fellows said; I was dose to them when the convereation referred to took place; I told this to all the neighbors; I did not know until lately that he ( Stelloy) wAe iirrerted. Bove the witness became confused, and contradicted herself in various instances. Mr. O'Neil went on with the cross-examination —I know that be (Connelly) was murdered, and I knew that Idelloy struck him the witness was here asked by Mr. O'Neil why she did not come and state these thinge to the Police authorities bolero 7 I didn't know where If was; I didn't want to get Into any scrape ; I spoke to Mrs. Grey about the mat ter ; ,be (Connelly) had on a light Kossuth hat; Molloy had on a cap; I am certain that Molloy bad a goatee; I have aeon Molloy often enough to know him; Connelly bad on lightish clothes. The witness was here dismissed, when Officer Smith entered with Mrs. Connelly, wife of the deceased, who was - clothed in mourning. Mrs. Connelly wse sworth lam the wife of John Con. now; I live in Oscar street, hall a square from where he was killed; I know the prisoner; I have seen him at our house; he was there the Tuesday before my husband was killed; he wanted him to go out with him; my hus band told him that he could not go, as he had to go over to West Philadelphia; he asked my husband if he would come to-morrow ; my husband said he did not want to; Molloy said "you never want to go when I want you to - " he (Connelly) said he wag going to West Philadelphia as an excuse for not going; I had been in Market street, and was coming up 'Wil liam street, when I saw a tassel in front of the tavern; I saw my husband fall in the street; I did not know that it was him at the time; I saw him on his hands and knees; I did not notice anything particular about him; I went and saw Mrs. English, and told some of them to pick the man up; I thought he was hurt; Mrs. English said it was my husband, and that be was killed"; I said .11e, if CAn't be my husband i he couldn't lay in the street; I thought that the man was intoxicated;.

Mrs. Connelly was cross-examined by Mr. O'Neil, but there was nothing of importance olicited except to corro borate what the had before said. District Attorney Mann asked that the defendant might be held to answer the charge at court, which was object ed to by Mr. O'Neil, who said the evidence was too mea gre for such a course. rdelloy was then committed by the Mayor to answer at court the charge of murdering John Connelly on the night of the Bth of January.

THE WOMAN'S HOSPITAL.—This noble insti tntion, located in a healthy and beautiful location, on North College avenue opposite Girard College, was leased leased in October last, and has been since partially fur- Ile first Patient Wad admitted on filo 16th of Number. There are as yet only five patients boarding in the house, but a daily clinic and dispensary are in operation, where, from 0 to 10 A. M., Patients unable to Inv are prescribed for and furnished with medicines free of charge. About fifty persons have already availed themselves of this charity. In addition to this, under the direction of the chief resident physician, a limited number of patients are visited and treated at their homes. The funds for sustaining the institution consist of indi vidual donations and subscriptions; and while the amount at present secured will necessarily circumscribe this cha rity within narrow limits the board feel ac mviction that the strong interest manifested in the enterprise will ra pidly place additional means at their disposal. They also hope to realize some incomefimm such patients as may be able Atpl willing to make pecuniary recompense for the benefits received from the institution ; and they believe that the accommodations and advantages are such as v.lll furnish inducements to this class to enter. - - . The want of an appropriate retreat, where, without violence to their sensibilities, women suffering from curable diseases could be received and accommodated while undel medical treatment, has long been painfully felt in this city. The intelligent ministrations of women are peculiarly needed in many of these cases, and the managers trust that this kospital will furnish a desi deratum which is not met by any other of our benevo lent institutions. Time° even partially familiar with the Renee at many of onr clinics are sadly aware that a large class of eases remains without any effectual remedy, Maly became the hufferers canned command rest, suitable food, and the 51:101bing surroundings indispensable to the full success of medical appliances. To all who are aware of these facts, and to those also who believe that educated and intelligent women are needed in relieving the sufferings and diseases of women, and that they are peculiarly fitted to aid in the tack, the managers appeal in confidence for the pecuniary nid needful to extend the benefactions of thus institution. tionation3 and subscriptions may be sent directly to the treasurer, Maria W. Horton, 320 South Fourth street, or through any of the managers. HIGH SCHOOL ALlThdrif MEETING. The Alumni organization met last night at the High Sell2ol building and transacted the usual buelness.

It such endeavors have been made, which ig very peggi hie, they have doubtless failed in tot°. Yesterday afternoon wo conversed with several of our most prominent hunoor merchants on Delaware avenue, who expressed comp'eto ignorance of any such negotia tions We were informed, however, that a few cargoes of live-oak timber have lately been sent to New York and Boston. There is very little live-oak in this city, we are Ha mmed, and none that can he spared for shipment. Our supply, for which we have depended upon the South, and more particularly Florida. has, of course, boon cut off by the rsirresbeible logic of events." The little, if any, at the navy yard has been atm ed there for years, its peculiar nature requiring years of seasoning. It consists of "knees" and heavy timber, and has en quotable price, from the fact that its commercial value depends upon its size, manner of seasoning, and other varying' circum atoms. In other ship timber we are informed that there is very little doing, either with our own or British ship builders. Nearly all of the shipwrights of our city are employe! at the navy yard. With the exception of one or two fortunate private yards, the business may be said to be coming to a stand-still. Again, the construction of so many iron lighters for mail servite is haying ternievcy to tkprami the tinnier market. There is one fact which is ever prominently before ship.owners and shipping merchants generally—that in case of a sudden termination of the war, mauY hundreds of vestels n net be thrown out of. Government employ, and freights must decline tremendously. And again, this species of property is such that, when idle, it is not only unproductive and expensive, but subject to constant de. ext. mt.re than any other. nom such facts as these, the supply of ship timber in this market has always been inconsiderable, and we are quite certain that, whether great or email, none of it can be spared to send to England. " THE PENNSYLVANIA VETERANS."— The soldiers of the war of 1812, having decided to form a company with the above title, for the defence of the cnnntry, a meeting was held on Tuesday evening, at the armory of Company U, Re erve Brigade, Market Street, above Eighth.

Dr. Seise' celebrity, as a scholar and finished orator, no less than the worthy object in behalf of which the lecture is to be given, will, no doubt, attract a large audience.
