Wetrust that the Finance Committee of tbe CooncQfl will at onoe, as soon as they are able, lay before the pablio a foil and explicit statement of the city’s indebtedness, and of its general financial oondition. This is doe, aliko to tax-payers and bond-holders, because' it is essential to the enlightenment and satisfaction of bofii. We find, on inquiry, a very general anxiety among our oitisens for such a statement. . Very few are sufficiently woll posted io-dty af .: fain to knpw how the city really stands and what are the contingencieswhioh may add to its responsibilities. We have reached, a point in - oar career which makes it essential to stop, look around os, examine our position, and inquire thoughtfully about what is to come. - This one faot is unquestionable, however un jwdeoms-it may be: that the credit of the city abroad is not what it ought to bo. (The credit of the eomly is even worse than that of the city; bat of that in another connection.) Oar bonds ,• 'were quoted, not long since, as low as 69, and it is only of late that they hare improved to 75@ 76. Why_is this T The State bonds which pay . but -6 per cent seQ better than our 6 per cents.; while the bonds of other cities are soiling at 90092. We pay the interest on our bonds as promptly and as regularly as any other city or corporation—nay, as promptly as the State her self; and if this alone were keep our bonds up, we ought to staadas well in the stock market as any other debtor of the same class.— But we do not; and it behooves us to ask why, as well as to exercise sufficient self-respect to devise a remedy, If we can. The act of oar legislature imposing a limit .. upon our City indebtedness was a wise and Jodi* done one. It imparted confidence to lenders, by giving them an assurance would not (bocausewe could not) rush into reckless extrav agance as borrowers. So far as our own direct) - municipal affairs are concerned, we are estopped 1 from borrowing beyond the limit imposed, and,! to that extent, we stand upon a secure basis with' our creditors. We have sufficient material wealth: to serve them as a guarantee, and with that they ought to be content - _ But the legislature, which imposed this timjt, also authorised the dty to extend its credit to several of - the raUxuads leading hither. The power of the legislature to do this is not ques tioned; and inasmuch as the dty did not, of its own motion, transcend the limit put to its in debtedness, the primary fault, If any is to be found, lies with the representatives of the State. These representatives first set up a tine beyond wUch they forbid us to go in contracting debts; and afterwards, by various aots, empower us to lend our credit to sundry railroads by the issue ofour bonds in payment of aathoriiedsubscrip tions to their stock. In alTthis the*dty is not a transgressor. The hand~that drew the first tine of limitation, authorized os, for special purposes, to go beyond itr Time may prove, perchance, that some of these railroad subscriptions were not wisely ' male. We will not now say that they were not; ; bat it will not be imprudent in us to regard a /of that kind as a possibility, and to look forward'to the protection of tbe credit involved in those subscriptions as a contingency " that mop have. to be met, no matter how re mote. V . TSe Conneßs last year appropriated $68,000 for the payment of interest on tbs city debt, - but the Treasurer's report shows that tbe amount paid was $64,874 61. At 6 per cent this wonld . leave the principal of the debt $I,0?2,908; but < of this sum there were in the sinking fund bonds amounting to $24,797, making the prin cipal of the city debt incurred for municipal pur poeee $1,048,111. We not give this as tbe prtdtt amount, but as an approximation to it suf ficiently accurate for aQ present purposes. ItwiQ, perhaps, be some satisfaction to onr creditors to know that the cityA&i a sinking fund, . and that certain revenues are set apart for its maintenance. , With regardto the redemption of the city's bonds, sfl they mature, it Is meet to ny that the uniform practice baa been to tat© them tip with new leans when it was not possible to redeem theaootright Igat year the amount of beads maturing was $19,681 47. A new loan to this smonhtwuanthorixed to take op the bonds as ' they became doe, and with the'jprdeeeds of this loan, ($19,600) the earn of $17,806 64 of the : sdd losq was paid off- as it matured. The bol* j ■ aaee woold haTe bees paid had it been presented. I We presome that loans maturing in this and fol lowing yean can lw and will be met in a similar manner. - So far, at least, the city haspaid her 1 beads regularly, as they hare fallen doe; and 1 until she falls to do so it is not generous to cast I “ suspicions upon her. j .. Thsrailroad eobscriptions of the citr are as I . follows: : I Ohio & Pennsylvania B. B. $200,000 { Fitts..&6teobenrille-tio. 650,000 i Allegheny Valley do. | Pitts* & ConneUsriUe do .. 600,000. J Charters/Vallty do. .. .160,000 I $1,800,000 Of this sum, the bonds issued to the Char ties* road bare never bees used, and those ie toed to the Ohio & Pa. B. B. have yielded to' the city some $4,000 or $5,000 «.year over and above the regular Interest, for a year or two past The issues to the other three roads have / ‘ either all been oied or soon will, be in the aotive : prosecution; to completion of the work ’upon them. AH of them have heretofore paid the in terest on the bonds promptly, and all of them profess an ability to continue to' do bo. These axe about all the toots we are nOw able to present In this oonnection. As to the finan cial condition of the city, we oan giro only what .we are able to. draw from the report of *he Treasurerforlutyesr. Thetotalrevenuesof the year 1854 (exclusive of loans) was $129,- • . 859 78, and the expenses, (excluding interest and loans paid,) $75,119 79. The amount of . - city tax levied was $58,981 92, and water tar $51,960 57. The city wharves yielded SJ6,- 960 87, the gas works $3,320, the zauketa $6,- 281 87, and miscellaneous items shoot $25,000. : With these various sources of revemis.the hold • «rs of [city bonds will see that the city is by. no -’ Btaas hasbrnpt or devoid of resources. We mak* these statements from this, sources of t o all, - and-thoM interested will place such weightupon ' them as they think they deserve. Similar state.

We congratulate the estimable gentlemen who compose the ooiumitiee on this subject on the success of their disinterested and beneficient la bors, and trust that the entire community may properly appreciate and comdend them. The programme of the opening ceremonies, we are requested to state, will be announced in the city papers to-morrow morning.
