Reading-room, on Twentieth street, to the veteran 4 29th Regiment P. V., on the sth inst.: Q./firers. Lion-Commisaioncd 01ficers, and Primates of the MTh Regiment: On behalf of the Lady Managers of the Soldiers' Reading•Roorn, I bid you a hearty and cordial wed- Milne to these rooms. This 15 an wanstial vacuole here. We have been long accustomed to receive here your Dick and wounded comrades, and to extend to them lush graceful hospitality as woman's warm heart alone knows how to otter to those who have been etticken down by disease and wounds Sa the service Of our colintiy. But our eyes are gladdened to day by the sight of a band of brave heroes, who -have passed unscathed through the terrible ordeal -of fire to which they have been subjected, and seem 'to us now robed only in the panoply of glory, who, faithful to the badge which distinguishes them, have borne is triumph the whim-starred flag of our coun try on the bloodiest battlefields of this great war. The mires of Philadelphia desire to testify their sympathy and admiration for you, their glorious brethren; ofyou, whose deeds of valor they have rea d of with swelling pride and gratittide ; of you, whom they have followed in your long 'aerate, your weary bivouacs, amidst the perils of the battle fields, with their most fervent pray er to the Giver of all Good, that he would be pleased to take under His tender care and sure protection those who had gone forth at the call of our country, to defend its Go vernment and protect ue in our liberties and homes." Soldiers of the gallant 29:h! we are proud of you as Philadelphians, as lovers of our country, and of freedom. As co-workers in our hum ble sphere in that great cause, for which you have periled your lives, we bid you a right hearty wel come. It lies been my lot to witness many magnificent military spectacles, the most brilliant, perhaps, being that of the entry into the city of Paris of that grand army which fought and conodered at Solferino. But no military display has ever awakened in me half as much enthusiasm as your welcome home on Wednesday week, as I saw you borne along in triumph by your proud countrymen—escorted lovingly by your valves sad your sweethearts. I thought of you at Winchester, where you received your baptism of tire ; of tee many battlefields in Virginia which your valor has helped to render il lustrious ; of that perilous hillside at Gettysburg where you stood between us and destruction. and when on that fearful Thursday night and Friday you hurled back in confusion - the rebel hordes or Johnston, and Rhodes, and Early ; Of that last fitting scene of the grand drama when, scaling the heights of Lookout Moun tain with a desperate gallantry that has few parallels in history, you planted, first among the foremost, the glorious banner of our coun try upon its sunnier. When I thought of all these things I thanked God that I had a country which was the mother of a race of heroes. And when I saw that dear flag, at once the inspirer and the witness of your gallant deeds, its glorious tatters AL emblazoned with Us story of your bril liant achievements, I felt as I had never felt before, that I had a country worth loving and living for, and I felt it was impossible to honor its heroic de fenders too highly, or to cherish them too tenderly. In such an hour I looced around for those who have told us that we have no longer any flag or any country, but the brilliant eunlight of your glorious presence had driven these wretched reptiles into congenial darkness and obscurity. As I thought of these degenerate sons of our dear common mother testing her bleeding heart while you had gladly naked your lives lest the breath of pollution should come nigh even as much as the hem of her garment, the deep curse of the poet upon him who is fake to his country in the day of her trouble mounted to my lips : "Per him no minstrel's rcptures awellt. - High though his title,. premi bis name. BouhdieAs his we.ith a, wish can claim. Despite those titles p wet. and help, The wretch concentred all in self, Shall forfeit fair renown. and. doubly olying.'slia 1 go down To the Tile dust, from whence he sprung, trawept. unbonored. and. unsang_" But We cannot forget that when we have spoken of your past deeds 'we have acknowledged only a small portion of the obligation we owe you. We understand that you return to your homes for a brief period only, to fill up in your ranks the places of those martyr. who have fallen at your side in the holy cause of our country, and that you are soon to go forth again, like giants refreshed, never to lest until you have planted your white-starred banner in the very citadel of the rebellion. For this noble self-devotion and telt sacrifice, for this glorious example, we have no words to thank you. As there can be but one highest motive for such de. votion— love of country "—so there can be but one adequate reward--the approval of your own consciences. But we cannot Ve restrain ed from telling you of our admiration and gratitude, nor from expressing our most 'ardent wishes that you may soon return to your homes, your brows crowned with garlands in which the oliive branch of Peace may be lovingly twined with the laurel of Victory, happy in the conscious ness of great duties fitly performed, held in perpetual honor and reverence by those in whose stead you have suffered, and last, ffut not least, welcomea by the approving smiles of those dear ones who Will tell you, in words which you see even now written in loving light in thirbright eyes and warm hearts br those who surround you, "none but the brave de serve the fair." We cannot doubt that with such a glorious past, and such ativauspicious future, your thinned rankswill be speedily filled with noble youth eager to share your illustrious name and honor. As the voice of our country calling for Mixer in its hour of need has never yet failed to find its responsive echo, so now, in answer to this last appeal to achieve the ruin of the hideous monster tottering to the fall, let a grand consentient, universal shout of devotion, in emulation of your noble example, come up from the great heart of her children, the sure harbinger of a glorious triumph and a speedy peace. sound the trumpet ! sound the are To all the aeneual world ororlaim One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name."

A =ceases from his Honor the Mayor was then read, returning, without his signature, the bill pro 'Mir", for the proper Cleansing of the streets and highways of the city. He says the re are too many contractors required, and the system makes it too much to their interest: As he recommended in a previous message, he still thought that Mils duty should be assigne d to the Board of Health; but if Councils should not think tide proper, a distinct munioipel department should be eroded for that PeThelle. air. filimono (U.) hoped there would be no action on the bill at the present time. He thought it ahould be postponed for at least one week. He Wanted to have month time to reflect upon the re. commendations of the Mayor. He was in the dark about this matter. He taw good features in the bill abet was pagan and some bad ones. Mr. KING (D.), said he wee opposed to the post poning of en action that would remove the ashes and dirt that have accumulated in the streets. He in was favor of giving contracts to the lowest bidder.

MnM Knee (D.), then moved to adjourn, which was agreed to. There being no further usiness be fore the chamber until five o'clock, the president that sUfes . ke n .d m a s re Tnzio recess sintim e. breasted (U.),said he wished to make a few remarks in regard to a nom yard at League Island, which would employ the time of the cham ber for a while longer. During the past summer a few men have purchased about a thousand acres of land on the Delaware front, below Cheater, and have exerted themselves to a great extent to gain from the Government the location of a navy yard there. Immediate action is now required from these Coun cils. He wished a 'resolution would be offered by some of the National Union members, is this chain. ber appointing a committee to take.this matter in ch Mr. arge. Gummi) (U.) said, at this particular time, those men whom we have sent to hold up the inte rests of the State look entirely too much to self. He thought that when a committee is appointed to investigate this matter they should closely scruti nize the acts of those whom we have elected to Con. glen. He hoped that Councils would rake some action upon it. Philadelphia has been very liberal in her tender of $300,000 to the United States. She is as well calculated for this purpose as any other city in the Union. He then offered atesolution sug gesting the appointment of a committee of three from both branches to visit Washington, and urge upon the authorities there the great advantage and importance of the acceptance of League Island, which this city has freely offered, for she location of a navy yard and national foundry..

Richd, Sparing, Armstrong, and Nicholson, were then appointed as the committee from Select Council. _ The bill from Common Connell making an appro priation of e 21,875 to the Department of the City Controller for the year 1864 was considered in a coin. mittee of the whole, and conut*red in *Mout amendment. The petition of the citizen. of the Second ward contesting the election of Mr. Karnali (D ) as a member of Select Council from that ward was taken up. Mr. Mum= (U.) said it was his belief that it the matter is postponed the petition will fall. Mr. Zeita (U.)jsaid, if there is amanifest desire on the part of the Democratic side to prevent the draw ing of a committee, they can do so by refusing to vote. Mr. KtMaRLY (D.) said, that in the appointment of a committee there is a choice of men. There are some he may object nd again there are some he may not object to. Ms is the only reason why he suggested the delay. The roll of members was then called, and the name of Mr. Bich° (U.) was not answered to, although he wax present. This was done in order to give an equal number of votes to both parties. The names were then placed in a box, and the fol. lowing gentlemen were drawn: Messrs. Baird, Davis, Hodgdon, King, Manuel, Marcus , Miller, Nicholson, Omerly, O'Rourke, Fouling, Sparing, and Weaver, from which the following committee of Mx were selected to decide upon the contested elec tion case : Messrs. Baird, Davis, Miller, Nicholson, Omerly, Fouling, and Weaver. These gentlemen werethen sworn by the President to form the duty devolving upon them faithfully. This committee then left, and returned Shortly, when Mr. Minl.nn (IL) said that the committee had organized, and appointed Mr. E.

A message was received from Mayor Henry, veto ing the bill making an extra appropriation to the Clerks oi Councils for extra services in 1863. The reasons urged for vetoing the bill were the same as hitherto given on Wile same subject.

Mr. Kann (0.) moved to postpone the bill for the present. Agreed to. A number of communications were received, the most important of whioh was one in favor of the re moval of the Fifthdpreoinct house, Nineteenth ward.

Submitted a preamble and reso lution relative to the seat of Isaac Leech, from the Twenty-fourth ward, setting forth that John B. McCurdy had been elected by A majority of the votes cast at the election held is October, 1862, and that a committee be appointed to inquire into the facts and report to Council. Mr. KERR (0.) contended, at some length, that this motion was entirely out of order ; that it Is too late to enter into a contest now. The time allowed by law in ten days; they have long p asse d away. There was but one certificate presented at the time the last Council was organized. The blunder com mitted was that the contest was not entered within the ten days. Mr. ECKSTEIN (U.), in reply, remarked that the certificate, as presented by Mr. Lewitt, was a base fraud; it was,in fact, AO aertifieate at all ; he had been informed by on, of the Judges that the certifl este hskd been made out for a constable, and as such he had signed - it. After this, the certificate was altered to Common Council. Mr. E. alluded to the trial in court, whichac i dted in the conviction of the judges, who were a rty to the fraud ; and upon this fraud the sitting me ber, Mr. Leech. still re tsina his seat. Mr. LOUGHLIN (O.). spoke against the resolution, and contended that it is entirely too late to contest; and, inasmuch as the gentleman from the Twenty fourth ward is not in his smat, he moved that the further consideration of the subject be postponed for one week. Mr. Fleawrslo re plied la opposition to Xt. Lough /W. Mr, Lamm% la r e st tureber reparoßia Wag oewardly to pass thin intionNtuing 'been** IN the member.

Mr. Bruges ( H.) now gave reason at some length. He desired to call the filtration of the mem bers to the fhot that this subject no limply the ap pointing of a committee to investigate a fraud, and report to this Chamber. Why should there be op position to this measure? Do the gentlemen of th e Opposition fear an investigetiont Do they desire a postponement, in order to allow the gentleman from the Twentrfourth ward an opportunity to object in person to an investigation ? Does this Council de• sire to grope in the dark? Do the members wish to close their eyes against truth f In conclusion, he hoped the motion would not prevail. The yeas and nays were ealled—ayel 1, nays 25 the Opposition refusing to vote. A quorum, how ever, bed voted, and the motion was lost. On the question to adopt the resolution, Mr. 881G1C413 spoke at great length, and taking a retro spective view exhumed from the record of the lest oouricil the fact that Mr. Duffield was expelled without notice ; not even was there decency enough manifested by the gentlemen of the Opposition to we ask is fappoint a committee of inquiry. Now, even in this coarseth one of groat, glaring fraud. all e appointment of a committee. This is fair. Be for one, was in earnest. He did not wish-to sit here to vote with any one who holds a seat by usurpation; he did not wish his good name tainted with being recorded with any one who holds a seat here by trend. Justice is certainly due that man. If the charges are untrue, let them be so Droved, and the name and character of the man will some out brightly burnished, and he as pure gold. If the charges are true, then why - should any one here, sworn men, whose oaths are registered in heaven, attempt to shield the fraud? The question involved in this subject is this, that if a great fraud has been committed, is there any justification in continuing that fraud ; can we, as honest men, close our. eyes against the truth / Mr. PAINTER. (0.) said that it would appear that the other side are the law-and-order party. Have they forgotten that, they have violated Isis? Have we not seen men thrown into prison for nothing/ They talk about law. Shame 4 What do the law and-order ;party desire? They want to turn Mr. Ideal' out. What thence hes he to prove anything at this late day/ This thing is predetermined; it is the intention to turn Mr. Leech out. Why don't they do it at once? Mr. Hasa (O.) moved to refer to the Committee on Law. Mr. P.oKezzni hoped this question would not pass, and that we either pass or reject the ram/anon. Aye. 1.1,-nays 23. A few of the Opposition, though In their meats, re ruled to vote. Mr. NICHOLS (O.) filmed to postpone until next Thursday, when it shill be made the order of the day—ayes 14, nays 22, The main question Was now moved—ayes 22, nays 13. The rineation was now taken on the resolution providing that the president shall appoint a coin. mittee of seven to Investigate the alleged fraud upon which Mr. Leech retains his seat, to have power to rend for persons and papers, and to report such action for Council as may be authorized by the evi dence elicited by the committee—ayes 22, nays 13. Mr. Karat (0.) on behalf of his colleagues, and by and with their advice and consent, submitted a pro test against the passage of the resolution. Mr. EVEHMAN (U) submitted a protest, signed by a number of the legal voters ,of the Twenty-fourth ward, salamr that a committee be appointed to in vestigate the gross fraud by which Mr. Leech holden a seat in the Chtimber. Mr. HEBB (0.) moved to lay on table. Lost. The protect was 'referred to the committee of seven, to be appointed by the President. Mr. FiVERMAN (U.) presented the credentials of John R. McCurdy as the member elect from the Twentyyfourth ward. Mr. Kenn (0.) objected to its reception, and that, as the order of business had already passed, it would require a twathird vote for its reception. The motion to receive was lost. The credentials will be presented at the next meeting in the regular order of business. A motion was then made to adjourn. Lost—ayes 10, nays 26. League Island Council now proceeded to the consideration of the bill from Select Council providing for the appointing of a joint committee to proceed to Washington to urge upon the Government of the United States the propriety of accepting League Island as a place for the location of a first•class navy yard. The resolution was concurred in, and the Prost. dent pro tern, appointed the following committee Messrs. Gray, Rafanyder, Billington, Kerr, and Crawford. Committee on the Leech Froud—lffessra. Briggs, Eelc srein, Mower, Taylor, Sulger, Wolbert, and Wil liamson. A resolution was agreed to referring the business of the old committees to the present standing com mittees. The Seat of Mr. Painter. Mr. ECKSTEIN (U.) offered a resolution declaring , ' the Beat of John S. Painter vacant. Mr. 'LOUGHLIN (o.) moved to adjourn. Not agreed to. The resolution offered by Mr. Eckstein was now read. It sets forth that John S. Painter Was elected all a member from the Sixteenth ward, and that he, having removed to the Tiventieth ward, forfeits his right to a seat here. The resolution instructs the clerk to strike the name of Mr. Painter from the list of members. Mr. Herm (0.) moved a reference to the Commit tee on Law of this Chamber. An uninteresting debate ensued on this, which re sulted finally in referring the resolution to a special committee of five, Mr. Eckstein chairman. Mr. Diemen (U.) offered a resolution relative to the drainage of the city, and to report a more proper system. Referred to the Committee on Surveys. Mr. HAYES (U.) oftbred a resolution of instruction to the Commissioner of Highways to report an ordi- nance providing for the opening of Ellsworth street to the river Schuylkill. Adopted. Mr. Bums (II.) offered a resolution providing for the change of the name of Columbia avenue, from Frankford road to Delaware river, to be called Han over street. Mr. BUMM said there are duplicate numbers of houses on Columbia avenue east and Columbia ave nue west; in fact, there are two Columbia avenues. Letters, package., and other things are often taken to the wrong avenue. Mr. Kann (0.) said the difficulty was in the num bering of the houses, and not the name of the street. Mr. WILLIAMSON (0.) said this is important to business people, and the resolution ought to pass, and thus remove the difficulty. Pending the consideration of the above, Council adjourned. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Supreme Court In bane—Before WoOdirord, C. J., and Strong. need, and Agnew, Jug tie.% The Pennsylvania Company vs. Ann Gothman, administratrix. Error to District Court of Alleghe ny county. • Chief Justice Woodward yesterday delivered an opinion in this cue. The policy is this instance stipulated expressly that it should be void and of no effect if the assured should neglect to ‘tlisclose the amount and nature of all encumbrances, or fail to obtain the consent of the Company to any encum. brance that should be executed upon the property insured, or any levy of execution upon it during the life of the policy. What is meant by this stipu lation about' consent" to encumbrances and levies is explained in the 6th clause of conditions, which requires the assured to give immediate notice of ail encumbrances to. the Company, to pay such addi tional premium as they shall determine, and obtain their written consent to the continuance or the policy. If property, either real or personal, is un encumbered when sured, but becomes encumbered or is taken in execution during the life of the policy, the premium is deemed inadequate, and the company must have the opportunity of charging an additional premium, and therefore the stipulation for notice of such inoumbrance or levy is a substantial and ma terial part of the contract. It does dot involve a question for the jury as to an increase of risk. The policy assumes that the risk is increased, and hence the necessity for an increase of premium. And this assumption on which the contract is based - is justified by all experience, for encumbrances diminish the in terest of the assured in the property, and levies dis turb his possession, and both these things Increase the risk. * * * * * * The policy in this cage was dated 25th July, 1860, but took effect from 20th June, 1860, for one year and wen upon hotel furnitdre, and upon a barn and stable on the premise.. Tian - it was shown in evidence that on the 19th June,lB6o, the sheriff had levied two executions amou nting together to near $3OO on the personal property, and on the 28th Jtily, 1860, another execution, amount not stated, was levied on the same goods, and that these levies were un disposed of when the fire occurred on the night of 28th September, 1860. It was shown also that in her application, Mrs. Gothman had Stated the en cumbrance on her real estate to be $3,000 on ten acres of ground, worth $lO,OOO, but that they amounted in fact to $8,173, and that the realty sold for $5,706,75. Upon this evidence the Company budated that Mrs. G. had been guilty of a bream of warranty in misrepresenting the liens on the real estate, and the court below got entangled in nice distinctions between warranties and representa tions. What had misrepresentations about real es tates to do with this insurance on tavern furniture ? The executions were liens on The goods insured, but the liens alluded to in the answer, to interroga• tories were not, for these were judgments merely, or other securities, which constituted only liens on the realty. If the ,interrogatory was broad enough to Include the liens of the executions, the answer must manifestly have reference to real estate, and, there fore, was irrelevant to a policy on personal goods, and, consequently, irrelevant to the Issue on trial. The judgment is reversed, and a venire facial de novo fie awarded. In the following cases, non pros. were entered: Allbright vs. Hoopes. Same vs. McKay. McCartney vs. Kilobenman. Harvey vs. Robinson. Donnelly vs. Cunningham. Bolasky vs. Worrell. Williamson vs. Worthington. Swain vs. City of Philadelphia. Child's Appeal, (Mini estate.) Nevin's Appeal, (Ne vin's estate.)

The counsel now proceeded at considerable length to sum up, end finally the commissioner admitted the fact that costs, pants, and vests had been sold by authority of Government officers, but that had no thing to do with this ease.
