A communication wasTeceived from the Mayor, stating that he had signed *• an ordinance to extend the hospi talities of the city to Col. Corcoran, 1 * which he did, after SnKb hesitationi owing to its indofinite manning! bat upon the assumption that the hoepltalitiee of the dtp will be extended, in tbiß instance, in etrict conformity with the requirements of the law. This communication caused a general smile among all the members, especially the Gontineutal-dinner coui •mittee. The Committee on Water repoHed a resolution io lay w ater-pipe in Clerk street, First ward. Also, a resolu tion to lay water-pipe in Fifteenth street, and other streets. Agreed to. The Committee on Girard Estates reported back the plan for widening Delaware avenue from fcpruce to South street, which was adopted by the ChatQbvFt tThe special committee, to make arrangements Tor the celebration of the 22d, made a report of what had bcon done by them on that day—that a »* dinner*' had been served up at the Continental at a cost of $1,060.50 to the city. The total amount is $1,999. On motion, the com mittee were discharged. Mr. Fox offered the following: An ordinance relative to the pajniMit of taxes for the > oir i»62 Whereas, in and by au act of the General Assembly of the CcmmnnwfcAUh of Pennsylvania, parsed the 17th day of April, 1861, entitled “A further supplement to an act to incorporate the City of P hiladelphta, H is en acted in thpf-e words, viz: “That there shall be an allowance to all payers of taxes, who shall ray the same in the year for which they MS Assessed, ftsfoltewe l Five per cent., if paid on or be fore the first day of April’, font per cent., if paid on or before the first day of June ; two par cent, if paid on or before ihe first cay of July. If paid attar the flrsi day of July, and on or before the first day of September, no deduction shall be made; if paid after the first day of September, and on or before the first day of October, an addition of two per cent, shall be a-lded to, and payable on the same; and if not paid until the first day of De cember, then an addition of five per cent . shall be added to t and payable on the tame.” And it is thus alio ihtrein f urther enacted, And the Councils of Philauelpliia shall have the power to allow* any other percentage forth? payment ef tftlGSi Of Add » B y other penalty for their non-payment during the cur rent year. And whereas the scale of allowance on early pay ments* and penalties for non-payment, therein desig nated, will not result io good to the city, inasmuch as, -whilst said act c- argea a penalty of two per cent, ir the (OSes bi* paid After the first Joy of September, aud oil or before the fmt day of October, there ib no penalty what ever if paid between the first day of October and the first day of December—thus presenting inducements to tax payers, after the first day of July, to abstain from pay ment nntH the mouth* of October and November, and affording no stimulus for payment in the mouth of Da ctmber, after the same has been reached, aud will, bo rides, operate with peculiar harshness and rigor upon our citizen?, at least during the present > ear. I. Because of the fact that the rate of taxation for this year is not evtn yet fixed, owing materially to the great amount of labor thrown upon Councils iu making up the annual appropriation bills for the various departments In tcc short a fipftce of time, by reason of the statute defer ring the organization of the new Councils after the elec tion in Ootober until tbe first Monday of January, and without which appropriation bills it is impossible for Councils to adjust the rate; so that now citizens will not be able to av*»l themselvesof toe five per cent, deduction. 11. Because oi the fact that our national necessities de mand the assessment of a heavy United State* tax in ad dition to thoßfl of our own State and city, aud it. there fore, behooves the city, in view of the increased,burden, to be aUenient with regard to tbe tax-payer as the most favorable circumstances of the case will possibly afford. 111. Because of tbe present extensive rebellion busi ness is paralyzed, thousands out of work, families suf feriDg, partly by a dearth of employment and partly by the absence of thirty-four thousand of our fel low-citizens, many of whom are heads of families aud lax-pa>ers, fighting in defence of the Constitution and Union; and thus large numbers are without the know ledge of tbe requisitions of said tax bill, exposed to its penalties; and even if the same be known, unable to avail themselves of its allowances, tbU3 working a tnauifestm juettav to many of those who bear the burden of the city Government: therefore, the Select and Common Councils of the city of Philadelphia do ordain: Section 1. That an allowance be made to all payers of taxes at tbe rate as heretofore, of twelve per centum per annum on all city taxes assessed for the year 186*2, paid by them prior to the first day of January next, and lb at the penaltU4 Of two ©Sist and five per cent, re spectively, authorized by said act of assembly to be added in cose of non-payment as specified, be, and the same are hereby, remitted. Two tills making appropriations for the payment of road damages in the First anu Eighteenth wards wore re ceived and referred. A resolution releasing tbe of A. W. Juvonal, late superintendent of the Girard Estates, waa to. Mr. Fox presented a comcuuuic*tiou from the Com missioner of City Property, inviting the attention of Councils to the room of the Court of Common Pleas, which is now In a most filthy condition. In connection with the communication, Mr. Fox of fered an ordinance to provide for the better drainage and ventilation of the buildings In Independence Square, at ft cost of ftliOOO Tho ordinance was agreed to. Mr. Fox a ! so offered an ordinance to purchase a piece of ground in Vaitruount Park yet remaining in private hand?, that the drainage now running into the Schuyl kill, above the forebay, may no longer exist. "Referred. (We learn that tbe cost of tho ground will be about $•250,009. The object of the bill is not toe immediate puschase ‘■•f tbe ground, but to prevent tbe erection of Rpy«ip ntive buildings upon the premiss by thus noti fying tlie owners of ihe intention of the city to purchase the property. At present there are Btables upon it, and tbe draiuage running into the Schuylkill ha» its effect ou the water A resolution was offered, requesting the Legislature to pass the bill repealing an act which allows five ner cent, to the Receiver of Taxes oh fIU outstanding taxes, Agrcvdto; 'Resolutions from Common Council approving of the of a Dumber of city officials were concurred iu. Ah ordinance, making au appropriation of $66.46 to pay Robert M- Carlisle for contested-election expenses, was concuried in. The resolution from Common Council relative to cleans • ing the strt-eta by the old contract system was read. Mr, WEtiMiY moved its indefinite postponement, which was lost. 9 The bill was then referred to the Committee on High ways of Select Council. fe-Mr. Dodcheuty offered a resolution instructing the Chief Commissioner of Highways to have the streets cleansed in the best manner possible, At the shortest notice, cud so continue to do until otherwise ordered. EeVfeMQ teetzibero arose and denounced In strong terms tbe “conflict system.” aud statel that they would never again rote to have the streets cleansed in this manner. Tjhey remarked they ftad hud a fair sample of tnia thieving ZjMteip. durirg tho last year, and would not vote the pub lie money awsy as it had been. The debate was continued for some time, and VfM &<* uninteresting as it was useless. Tbe resolution wa3 finally, tunended that a record of tho treats oeaiuedj number of men and horses employed, aud the expenses incurred, be kept; also, that tho disposition of the dirt and the price realized be reported. Mr. Wktiiebill uu.ved further to amend, com plrinte for the mm-conformance of the resolution be re poned to the Committee ou Highways, whose duty it shall then be to impeach the Chief Commissioner of Highways for neglect of duty. Mr. Fox whs opposed to this, as complaints of a trivial character, yet well founded, might be preferred. Ho ’.bought this would be inviting communications of com plaint from eltiitet.S. Mr. W’htiieiui.l finally modified his amendment, that if any well- found* d complaints are made the committee shall report the same to Councils. Mr. Me>jaky favored the amendment. If there was a negltct of duty Councils had a right to know it, and he, for one* would record his vote for the expulsion of any man who did not conform to fh? gtrivt tetter of tho Jaw. The amendment was finally agreed to, and the resolu tion passed The resolutions frem Common Conncil urging the Le gislature not to pass the act to provide for tire consump tion of gas, Ac., were concurred in. The Messrs. Ginnodo, Hegary, tVe tberil!* TJhler* and 'VYeav&T as & special &6Wtbities to con sider & ccimouuicMtiifu rvhitive to cleaueing the streets. The Chamber now resolved itaelf into a Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the bill from Common Conncil making an appropriation to the Con* tro'lers of Public Schools. Mr. Ford in the chair. After making some unimportant amendments* the com mittee rose* and reported the bill, which was thou agreed to. The bQI from Common Council to fig the tax rate for 2.862 was taken up. Mr. Wktherill believed that the rate of 2 per cent, was entirely too email. He exposed the blunders in the report of the committee* ana criticised it aaver&Jy. Ha moved to raise the rate to 82.25. Mr. Fox said that the main feature of deficiency Spoken of by Mr Wetherill, bting 9650,000, was an item of interest which bad teen carried for several ye trs, aad, in view of the present distressed condition of the times and country, be would carry that Item still farther, uutil peace and prosperity return, when we could bettor fasten these deficiencies upon an exhausted community than now. Outside of this item be believed that two dollars would he sufficient and leave a margin of afeoat £70,000 for emergencies. Mr. Mxgary hoped that Councils would see the neces sity of making the rate fully equal to the municipal ex penditures. The practice of making it tyy }yw, and then oklttg oat tbe deficiencies at the end of the rear by loans, was suicidal to the credit of the should be aban doned at once. The custom was inaugurated by political rascals for party purposes, and in the hope that the peo ple could be dtluded into the belie! that they would not have to pay the deficiences thns created at last. The pAoptowill not tamely submit to any such imposition. Hereafter the course of Councils will be closely scruti nized, and any attempt at the old political game of pay ing taxes by creating persnnial loans, will receive the condemnation of tbo people. “Pay as you go” is the golden rub, both t f corporations And of merchants. The further consideration of ehe bill was then post poned until the next meeting* when it will be tho modal order of the day. The Chamber then adjourned. COMMON COUNCIL. President Kerr in the chair* A communication from the Board of Health, in the foifn of a (reamlld and resolutions, urging upon Goan* cite the liCcenßity of remedying the condition of the streets, was preset,ted.

Mr. Quinn • moved a reconsideration of the bill. Agreed to. The report of the Committee on Legislation was read. It contained a resolution that the House bill for reduciug the expense of collecting unpaid taxes in Philadelphia would be beneficial to our citizens, and asking tbe Le gislature to pass it. The resolution was agreed to. The roport also elates that the bill for the better pro tac tion or gw consumers, and the passage of thesupplenuat of the North Philadelphia Plank-road ConipAny, were entirely unnecessary, aud lequeiting theJLoglslaturo not to pass them. The bill in relation to gas consumers pro vides for the organization of two new offices. Agreed to. Hr. Catthll presented au ordinance making a further appropriation for the building of OliMiuut-sti'cut bridge. Beferred to Committee on linauce The ordinance from tho Financo Committee, fixing the tax rate at P 2 on tho buudred* was taken up. Mr. llaapbr believed that if tho rata of two per cent, was adopted, there would be a deficiency at the end of tbe year. He said that the real expenses would be just $851,001 more than the estimate of the Finance Com mittee. Ha wished a rate fixed that would leave a margin at the end of the yearjft Mr. Frmhan said that the principle of true govern ment was to pay its indebtedness »s it occurs. He be lieved that the higher the tax, the less would be the ex penses. He was in favor of the highest tax-rate. The people then would demand Ices expense on the part ot the city. . . _ Mr. Lbigh thought there were good reasons to fix the rate at the highest amount, say 8*2.40. Ho was in favor of a rate that would bring the account out square at the end of the year. The first section'of the ordinance, making the tax-rate $2, was than passed • The second section was then passed. It apportions the amount as follows: Poor tax * ...16 cents.

Lewis and George Smith, citi zsj.s and tax payers, praying for a Speciri And perpetual injunction to restrain the City of Philadelphia from ply ing the cost of the late dinner by Councils to ihe Legis lature, at the Continental Hotel, was commenced and concluded, and the case held under advisement by the court. Tho main point of the complaint is, that tho appropria tion for the dinner is in violation of the 24tli bsgUgu af the act of May 23th, 1850, which provides that “it shall not be lawful for any department or committee of said city, or the officers thereof, or for the prison inspectors, to draw any moneys out of tho City Treasury, or to use any savings, or the proceeds pf the sales of any work or materials for or in any office, department, or prison, or any revenues whatsoever thereof, for any entertainment, oftljpg, drinking, or Bmoking ftirnuhed to any members or officers of said city corporation, department*, or officers thereof, or of said prison. In answer to this, it is contended that, since the year 1701, it has been the custom of the city to extend a dinner to tbe Governors and Legislature of the Common wealth, and instances were cited of dinners having been given by the city to Governor Penn, Governor Mifffin, end other eminent persons. That an act Of the Legislature, passed some years since, expressly legalized this custom, and that act was continued by th) Consolidation act. That the section of the Consolidation act which it is claimed has been vio lated was passed with a view to prevent the heads of departments, such as prison inspectors and others, from misappropriating tbe fund*, and had no reference to Councils, who represented tho corporation of tho city, and are not within the meaning of tho act. Hotv the Efficiency of the Eire DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE PROMOTED—The fol lowing plan has beeu suggested by a correspondent, in order to avoid delay and constituent loss in getting to work at fires, also tho great ©*pence of steam and hand fire engines, by entirely dispensing with them, and gene rally to promote the efficiency of the Fire Department: Atone, or more,or all the Water-works, have a hy draulic ram, forcing water from thoreservairinto a stand pipe, high enough to throw water over the highest houses. The water should be maintained automatically at the required level by a fio*t WUIWCtcd with & valve in tbe supply*pipo of the ram. From tho stand-pips the water Bbould flow through special mains, (one iu every third or fourth street would be sufficient,) connected with each other every eight or ten squares, to give a supply of wa ter from each side. At intervals, along the streets hav ing these mains, have fire-plugs, with several very large orifices. There eboultl be Immense hose, carried o l car riages* to be used the water from plugs far and near to the fire, where ordinary hose are attached (thus saving the expense of having mains on street). By this plan, in connection with a paid fire department, very little time would be lost, aj tbe large bos* carriages would be driven by horses to the nearest fifth (a&certnmed by the firemen fiom maps,) ami attach ot, and then to tbe fire, or vice versa, as would be quick est, the bose paying itself out, and the moment the fire is reached the small hose would be attached, and playing on the fire commence.

Uncertainty OP THE LAW.=Henry Schmidt has been held to bail to answer tho charge of stealing unfinished coin from the Uuited States Mint. The offence was committed about four years ago, when the offender was arretted and taken btforo United States Commissioner Heazlett, who investigated the charge, tinder direction of District Attorney Vandyke. The accused was discharged on the ground that As the offence did not come within the act of Concrest, he could not be tried in the United States Court. He was afterwards ar rested by the State authorities and held to answer the charge of larceny, and gave bail for his appearance at . court. Upon bis liberation he retired to a farm iu Mont* gomeyy county, where he remained until within a few days past, when be waß arrested on a bench warrant and held to answer as stated. Primary Schools.—That there are more primary schools, and better accommodations need ed, in certain of the city, is evident to every one. Some of tfaese schools are so crowded that pupils are required to wait for several months before they can be admitted, and when admitted are huddled together in small imventilated rooms, which proveß destructive to their health and learning. In nearly every school sec tion there are numerous Jar* e and suitable buildings, which could be obtained f?r this purpose at a roaionublfl coat, but for some reason or other this matter has been entirely neglected by the proper authorities. The young beginner should not be compelled to wait for months, w hen the time arrives for him to enter school. A suffi cient sum of money is spent each year for educational purposes to entirely remedy this great evil. Supreme Court— ln Banc —Present Learie, C. J., Strong, Thompson, and Read. McKeen’s Estate.

Tbe Rhode Island left with provisions and supplies on tbe sth of February, lor the vessels composing the block ading fleet, and sbe went os far as the Rio Grande, at which place she left the United States sloop Portsmouth, having in charge a large number of vesse's which had been prevented from entering the Rio Grande, they having contraband goods on board. The Rhoss Ivft the Rio Grande on the ist of March, and stopped at Key West oh her way home, but she brings no late news. During her absence sbe has supplied over one hundred United Rates vessels, and received fr m the various places at which 6he touched a large mail. As the ship needs but few repairs, her stay in port will be brief. The prisoners were transferred, yesterday afternoon* to MoyamenaiUjl Px-lecm, where they will remain till an opportunity occurs to remove them to Fort Warren* iu Bcston harbor. These men are mostly fishermen and pilots, intimately acquainted with the intricate navigation of the Gulf, and have been seized by the rebel Government and compelled to navigate its vestals, or htfo done so of their own free vriii, most probably the latter. The Rhode Island was lying at the lower wharf, yes terday, discharging her cargo of goods, captured from tbe rebel ship Magnolia and others in tbe guif stream, consisting of cotton, rifles, coffee, Ac. She will remain hero some ten days taking in supplies for the blockading equadro;*, after which she will again proceed southward. Some of the prisoners were ioAveyed to Uoyamenaiog 3 esterday afternoon, just as the Juniata floated into tho river. They looked somowhat depressed in spirits, but said nothing. Opinions Delivered.—Yesterday, in the Supreme Court, Chief Justicotiowriß and Justices Thompson, Strong, and Read, tbe case of Fallon vs. Fallon was decided, and tbe decree of the Common Pleas was affirmed, thus deciding that the writing in dispute was not an assignment for the benefit of creditors, ae that would, the court said, be an act of injustice to the credi tors themselves. The paper is interpreted to be a sale to the Duke of Rianzares* through the intervention of trus tees, and the price to be paid by him ia the auiouut of the debts, and for the payment of tbisjie has pledged tho pro perty sold and his own, other property also, by placing it in the hands of the defendants as trustees. The trans action Is, therefore, a sate with a security, anologoui to a mortgage for th« purchase money, rather than an assign ment tor the benefit of creditors* Duncan vs. Reed. Judgment reversed, and judgment that the plaintiff recover of tbe garnishee, Charles M. Reed, the sum of $10,952 96 and all costs, and that on the paj mens thereof by him ha be discharged from so much ol tho debt due by him to the defendants on the original judgment, on account of their 4?pQBit of ttVttVJ In his hands , and the record is remitted. Zellner’fl Appeal. Decree affirmed at the coats of tbe appellant. McKeen’s Eaecutors vs. Stewart. Decree affirmed with costs. Whitely vs. Breicig, Argued by Alexander E. Brown and Ji H. Oliver, Esqb , for plaintiff In error. The Court declined to hear A. H. Reeder and S. A. Bridges, Esq*., for defendant. HcKetn vs. Stewart. Argued by Marx, Goepp, and A. 35, Brown, Sees., for plaintiff in error. The Court de clined to hear ti. D. Maxwell vud P. Me Jail, Kaus., for defendant in error. Mnlu,HNi ... uiiu.i UtUbit 1 * Appeal. Argued by Mars and Ruuk for plain tiff in error, and J. H. Oliver, Esq., for defendant in error. Excitement at a Graveyard.—lt was rumored about Wedeekday afternoon that the corpse of a woman, which was said to have petrified, was at Uii Fraxsclsvllle burial ground, at the corner of Wylie and Perkiomen street, in the Fifteenth ward. The ru moT was pretty well circulated in that vicinity, and in a Bbort time some three hundred persons assembled about the graveyard. Demands to see the body were made, butthesextou steadily refused them Some of the people became quite infiiflQftQt At tho refold of the loxton. And ior ? * e ’ sr J? 4nntee i ll ** 6 a serious disturbance was threat ened. The presence of a couple of policemen, however, prevented an outbreak, and ttie crowd dispersed without having had their curiosity gratified. Erection of New Stores The old dwelling-house at Ninth and Chestnut streets, belonging to the Bnrd estate, will be demolished, in a few weeks, to make room for three handsome marble-tront stores. Two of the contemplated buildings have already been taken by parties who intend to occupy them. The Hon. Wm.
