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 -

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

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.”

THE .COURTS.
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. R.
Company. Certificate from Nisi Prius. It was op
tional with the oompl&lnant, by the terms of the
bonds, the subject of this bill, to have converted
them into the stock of the company any time before
the Ist July, iB6O. If the election were not made
within that period, neither at law nor in equity
could the company be compelled to submit to the
conversion by reason of anything contained in the
bonds. The option was forever gone, and could
only be renewed, or the right to exercise it be re*
mewed, by virtue of a new contract. 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.

Mr. Marcus (O. ) hoped not. as the time was short,
and Bachs county was paying $BOO. under which circum

Mr. Armstrong (O.j said we had conanienced this
thing, and ehohld go through with it. He considered
the volunteer system Car superior to the conscription!
and he therefore would always vote to give bonnties.
Mr. Davis (U.). was in favor of tbs bill, bat there was
one obj action to Us immediate pas age—we do no s know
what oar quota is, i oldiers who emist elsewhere than
Philadelphia lose the money pa.d ont weekly to the
families of volunteers. This he calculated at about fcl 53
per week, which would more than make up the differ
ence ol $5O between the bonnties of Philadelphia and
Backs county. He thought that a short delay, until oar
quota was determined! would do no harm; then he
would be willing to vote $4OO per man if necessary. ■

Mr. Briggs offered an ordinance increasing the salary

Befewed.
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.
