The United States Sanitary Commis sion.—li»»t evening a large anembly filled tbe Academy of Mn.lo, notwHh.t.ndlng the aopleaiant weather, to te.tify the high appreciation of our oltlzene of that lneatimable organization, the United States Sanitary Commliaion, aa well as to show the Interest we take in the forthcoming fair, which, from present appearance*, is to be a gratifying suc cess. The platform was occupied bp the msmbers of the central board of the Commission, now ip I h® city, Mayor Henry, sod other distinguished groans. An excellent band of music interspersed the exercwea of the evening with music, and added much to tne interest of the occasion. M thp n>imf - Mr. John Welsh, of this city, He Introduced, aa the lirat orator of the evening, Kt. TJ._ Qi nieelr (\f jjtlfjllfl WllO WSS ifiSvpli A He saw that he did not intend to advooSe at 'jeEgth the claims of the United States SaSt.IT commission. Having been Inactive ope ration aince the commencement of the war, ita iteatucea and benefits were already known among the friends of the American soldier. It was gratl ivioff to him alto to state that he did not 1 be lieve'there could be found in the records of the world an instance where the Government of a country had addressed itself with more energy aud mote humanity to the wants of its soldiers than has been done by the Government of the United States. The Sanitary Commission had come to Its aid. and to one could doubt that it had done a noble and a great fservlce. It had these advantages: it organized the benevolence of the country; It united among its workers all classes of society, ana it had been marked by wisdom of management. He rejoiced to know that Philadelphia had »f a * a * e “ aolvcd to lend a strong helping arm to the Commis aion, and hoped that the efforts of her p* e °» 2-°2?5,* and children in the proposed fair would meet with a success commensurate with the benevolence which characterizes her patriotic SteM ou Colonel Streight wm tatrotta "d amid greet cheering, and .pokes. l0 T AMBS AND GUN-TUBMEN: It give* me pleuure to hnwith VOU to-night, end thank you for thle kind wcTOtton. YOU have met to .how your lavor to a noble organization, one which the aoldler, I ean sumre you, conatantly appreciate*. Thie appre ciation which you «how towards the United State* Sanitary Commission is especially grati fying to a soldier, spectacles like these I wit mess here nerve our aimies So redoubled en ergy. assurance, and confidence. It assures them Of the continued support of the people, for when you support the Sanitary Commission, you support she army. [Applause.] When you recall the ex tent of our armies, and their growing wants and numbers, you will have an idea of the magnitude of the labors imposed with generous self denial by the United States Sanitary Commission. The instances are not Jew where I have seen the tear of grati tude tjickle down the cheek of many a manly sol dier as he viewed or experienced the labor of love of the philanthropic society in whose behalf you are here assembled. We are engaged in a most gigantic struggle, which enlists, and must continue to enlist, tbe sympathies of the entire people. The private soldier is entitled to all your kind attentions. He deserves good treatment at your hands. Make him as comfortable as you can; aid him in sicknessj sus tain him In healths encourage him on the field and in the camp. He has to contend against DO weak enemy. On the other hand, the foe is determined, savage, and, desperate. With that fact before us, we should not hesitate to help on by all means in our power our gallant armieß. Besides contribu tions and sanitary stores, we need something more. Wo want leoiuits; and as the ladies have been so efficient in helping the soldiers by their grateful of ferings Of sustenance and comfort, I should Dfl hap* pv to know that they would assist our armies in an other way: and that is, by becoming, for a while, recruiting officers. [Laughter.] We mast have men. This war, I fear, will not close this summer. *We must prepare for a fierce conflict, and in no way can we better show our patriotism taan by filling up the depleted ranks of our regiments. Col. Streight was followed ia a very eloquent speech by Ktv. Dr. Bellows, president of the Com mission, In which he expressed his gratitude for the energy with which Philadelphia had already com menced to aid the treasury of the association. He predicted that the coming fair would eclipse, in point of receipts and grandeur, any that had yet been held in other cities of the Union. Mf. Murdoch was afterwards introduced, and ap propriately closed tbe exercises with a spirited reci tation of Brake’s “American Flag.” Pennsylvania Medical College.— The annual commencement of this great institution took place yesterday at the Musical Fund Hall.

Supreme Court In Banc-Woodward, Chief Justice, and Thompson, Strong, and Read, Justices. Opinions were yesterday read in the following oases: Br Woodwabd, G. J.—Fleming vs. Oulbert, Error to District Court, Philadelphia. In this case the Court say that “the only question for decision is whether the investment of moneys in bonds and mortgages by an attorney-in-foot, instead of remitting them abroad, as inatrust* ed, was fraudulent concealment, A majority of the Court think it was not. We hold that it was no more a fraudulent concealment than if the attorney had kept the money In his own pocket or bank ac count. A breach of duty it undoubtedly was. He ought to have remitted the fundi as directed: and because he was sueable for this breach of duty, the statute (of limitation,) which always acts on the remedy, and not the right, began to run when the action might have been brought. To arrest its pro gress, the plaintiff* should have shown a fraudulent concealment of the moneys, which, we think, was not done, by showing a safe investment of them.** Judgment reversed, and a venire de novo awarded* By Thompson, J. —Muhlenberg vs.’ The It.

The time has long since elapsed within which the election oould have been made without the right having been ex* ereised, and the company refuse its exercise now. Decree affirmed. Crowly vs. Hackman.

Mr. Gray offered the following: Whei'tas, The city of Philadelphia has offered to the General Government League Island, as a suitable place for a naval depot, forts, and arssnal. and itsfiitnation is such as will enable the United States Government to place there such armament as will effectually prevent any attack upon our city by marine warfare; and whereas* the city of Philadelphia has been profase in living-men, and money, and sustaining all measures for the suppression of the war against the Union, and has been more than once threatened with attack; and whereas, a marine attack would be impossible, if League Island were properly used for the purpoie of prevention and protection, and there is as much necessity for the samtory measure in order to give to our citizens a feel ing of security as there is for our encouragement of enlittments; therefore. Resotved, Ist. That the Councils of the city of Philadel phia feel that their city is undefended against an attack by sea-going vessels, and especially a steam marine,and they think their citizens have a right to demand from the General Government full protection and security against Buch attack; that league Island 1b the only point on the river which would make our city impregnable in this respect, and that, therefore, the United States ihould possess and promptly fortify it. 2d That the city is prepared to convey to the United States the fall ownership and possession of Leagae Island for 6ach purposes, and the Legislature of Penn sylvania has already expressed Us assent to sueh owner ship, whereby the jurisdiction of the United States may be fully maintained therein 3d. That the Governor and members of the Legisla ture, Senatois and Members of Congress, from this city and this State, be requested to urge upon the United States authorities the acceptance of League Island for naval purposes. 4th, That a sopy of these revolutions be sent to the Go vernor of onr State and members of both Houses of Con* giees from this state, and each member of the Legisla ture, The resolutions occasioned much debate, crowing out of the opposition of Messrs. Cresswell, Overman, Bluing ton, and others. These gentlemen avowed themselves heartUy in favor of the League Island elie. not only be* cause it would be beneficial to the city of Philadelphia but also to the National Government. They objected to the resolutions on the ground that they were not written with proper clearness. Mr. Billixgton raid he was mystified and muddled, and could see nothing in them hut a little lankee Doodle and a quantity o? spread eagle. Hr. Cresswell moved to refer them to a committee for revision, which was not agreed to. Mr. Brady then offered an amendment to the effect that Connells reiterate their demand for League Island, and providing for the appointment of a committee to draft a series of resolutions suitably expressive of the sense of the City Councils and the people of Philadelphia on the subject. * BMr. Evans advocated the amendment, and in the course of his speech said that he would make no bun combe speeches about League Island, for he was not a candidate for re-election in the Fifteenth ward next year. Mr. Loughlix was of the opinion that the discussion elicited by these resolutions was of a character as would gratify extremely the people of Chester and New Lon* don. He was in favor of League Island, and said that aU the opposition to that site came not from the Demo crats who last year voted $300,000 to give the Bite gratuitously to the Government, but from the Republi cans, both here and in the national councils. Fuiuer debate was cut off by the calling of the pre vious question, when the amendment was lost, and the resolutions of Mr. Gray were adopted, after the pream ble..by a vote of 28 yeas to Bnayr, had been stricken oak. Mr. Dillon offered the following, which was laid on the table: Wllereas, Tbe Councils of Philadelphia have appro priated nearly $5,000,000. and as our citizens have sub scribed nearly one million of dollars to en courage enlistments, and as 60,000 of onr citizens in answer to their country’s coll have enlisted in Philadel phia regiments; and whereas, we believe the proper quota of Philadelphia to be 45.200 men under the several calls of the President of the United States for troops from April 16th, 1861, to February Ist 1861, inclusive, aud as our city has already furnished several thousand volun teers in excess of our proper quota and is entitled to credit for said excess; therefore, be it Resolved, iiy the Select and Common Councils of Phi ladelphia. That the commissioners of the bounty fund be. and are hereby directed to discontinue the payment of bounty to all volunteers until the quota of our City id definitely settled. Mr. Cee swell called up an ordinance providing for the furnishing a room in the Philosophical building lor the use of the Coroner. Concurred in A bill from Select Council appropriating $25 to each veteran volunteer enlisting in the field and credited to the city* In addition to the ci y bounty, was taken up. Hr. LorGHLIN moved He reference to the Committee on Protection and Defence; he showed by calculations that the quota of this city was full, aud several thousands over full; that while other States readily ascertained their quotas, and were duly credited with the number of men they had furnished, the gallant State of Pennsylva nia, which had furnished more men than any other State, was denied that information. He would oppose the expenditure of the people’s money until that informa tion was furnished by the proper authorities. The motion to ief*r was lost, and the resolution was agreed to. _ a number of bills from Select Council were concur red in. Adjourned, PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRADE. ISRAEL MORRIS, ) JOS. C.
