" The, debt has not been inereaud, and is now . withbithe menet:theta. of the' act limiting the City iridebtesiness, the small loan authorized by hist Comas having been purchased, and held bY thealnking fond, and the proceeds used in taking •up bonds then maturing to about the mmearammt, ineluding eme•or„ two small bonds now about ;the. • .There w ill' tothlng farther required for the Payment of the fended debt:Aeries the present year; bat some $71,800 will Wore due and play , able in 1856, commencing on the lath May, and extending .throurbout the rat, and which, if not solver provided for, illl reqnire therarly at tention of next Ceenene, by which time it is to be hoped the monetary affairs of the country . will be In a more favorable condi:en to negotiate new loans to take up the maturing bends than at . The linking fund to which the business tax is specifically set apart, now amounts to about $25,000, and will no doubt ere long, if properly cherished and strictly adhered to, exert a whole some influence on the city credit, in her future • negotiations to refund portions of the debt, se it from Aisne to time becomes due. 'Your. committee estimate the amiable revenue from all sources for the current year, (apart trom improvement tax,) at $186,290, as per ao oompanyingwehednle of assets,' relied on to pro . duce that amount,-about one-half of which will • be required to pay the intereat on -the the fcmiled • debt, and nearly all the balance to meet the as .. isertamed vants of the different governmental and other equally important departments of our city affairs, leaving but a comparatively small amount for water extension, engine and hose, . • and other necessary improrements In consequence of the late misfortune in the monetary affairs of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railread Company, the city will be deprived of • any immediate cash receipts from that quarter, how: Aruba a measure compensated for by a stock dividend of BO shares or $4,000 at its par value • —which, if thought advisable, can be disposed of for immediate use, or set apart as an additional ' item to the sinking fund. It-will be seen that the approptiating ordi nance herewith submitted by your committee, it of the outstanding warrants and tem porry loan, is somewhat in advance of the esti mated yearly income, probably_ not more than will be realised from incidental items Bateau _ starred in the schedule. The outstanding war rants and temporau loan, althbngh requiring a formal approptiation in apparent excess of the • estimated income, are in fact already provided for, and will no doubt be fully realized from the uncollected taxes and other outstanding dues of ' the list and previou years, the loan „being al - ready paid, and some -$lO,OOO of the warrants tattled by baek dividends on gas stock, in ad just:nut of accounts between the city and Gas Company, . There is yet ;mother interest connected with our city affairs, which it may not be improper in this connection to say a word or two about. It will be recollected that some $75,000 of the Present city debt was"contracted to rebuild the Aqueduct, under a special arrangement with the Mate authorities, by which -the any became the radiant of all the Aqueduct tolls until the . whole &menthe of her investment debt, interest, and expense of keeping the Aqueduct in re pair. alusuld -be refunded, resulting from which has, grown up what la - termed the Apeclud Ftwa r which appear' thus tar to have been used as e Ma. d orfamathel House of Refuge for such migrant city warrante as could not otherwise hive been provided for, and now actually holds in its posses ien some $32,900 of such financial - - offenders against the peace and quiet of many good citizens. The pretext state of the city finances ere no ` doubt quitaloW and meagre enough to satisfy the feelings of the moat economical among us, bail not found sufficient to satisfy all our wants - and aceompliali everything which osier more fa - - vocable eireumetauees rairh, tbe considered very desirabfe, it is nevertbalees hoped will be such , as to enable us to get through the year's busi.‘ - rmate without much real Mificulty. Ifthe projected law Inaegard to paythg for • pavements was carried out, it would probably afford m e ansaufficient to tinire some $150,000 of the, funded debt andthuretT relieve the Treasury fromthe payment of some $9OOO yearly interest, which, ;in connection with the largely increased - • rename shortly to be derived from our user . panted market and City -Hall buildings would • soca preseit our city affnirsin *gaits differtmt as . put. The committee think they hazard very little iu Paying, that once relieved from the balance — due the market association, the net yearly in :. coins derthed from the Markets; Water Works, and Monangehebe and Allegheny whams, to. getter with dividends on Gas stook and interest • _ one bonds held for the sale of real estate, would , eutheieut.to pay the interest on the whole funded debt of . the city proper—end the above mentioned items of corporate property are really worth as mucli or equal in value to the whole funded debt, .always and ever excepting Railroacr 'ascriptions. _ The committee would suggest that some more rigid measures be adopted to order to enforce a speedy collection of all outstanding taxes and - . other city dues, puticularly on old daplicree add all other arrearages of more thee oneyear's standing--and in conclusion feel that the, can not too strongly urge uponeatmcils the =pro , - priety -of 'permitting or making additional ap- L, propriaticone after even nthre . than all the esti ' mated Yeerly biomes is by ordinanee regularly act apart to its approtaistemes.

Our citizens naturally felt some curiosity as to the purioned a the great champion of Emancipation—the bold-hearted Kentucky opponent of. Slavery; and to this, as well as to the novelty of hearing anti.slaver7 sentiments from the month of a Southerner is attributable the unusually large audience of last evening. Mr. Clay is an earnest orator. But his enun ciation is very faulty. At times ,the half of sentence was lost to. the hearer by its too rapid utterance. He pose - oases, however, what his 11- lasaions namesake posiessed in so remarkable_ a - degree—the faculty of chaining the attention of 1241 &affiance. His gesticulation is nervous and etargetio, and at all times graceNl—being nat ural.. . _ _ Of the subject-matter of hie lecture (or rather oration, 'for such it was,) we have not room to speak to-day. -In one word, he drew &vivid pic ture of the despotisms of slavery - over the social, mental, physical and moral condition and being of blacks and whites both in the South' and the North, The epeaker advanced many nek ideas and displayed great and earnest ability- in the discussion of hie thenie.
