The past four years, fraught with so many anxieties, naye happily passed away, and with it has come the end and suppression of the rebellion; the clouds which sO obtcured the future of our country have cleared, and our city has emerged under cir- cumstances probably more favorable than any of its size in the country. During this time our expenditures have been continually increasing, not alone on account of the extraordinary circumstances of the times, common alike to all the cities of the country, but likewise to meet expenses inci- dental to the sudden increase and rapid ex- aken to er nt a bill of great attraction, panse of the city, and make those improve- en t er efforts to please during the | ments so essential to the convenience and com- ‘ime she h: engaged with Mr.Grover have | fort of our fellow- citizens, and so visible in all a8 been appreciated, she confident!

This. though I was very cautious, could not be avoidea, andis mainly attributable to the Want of consideration and cantion on the part of your bodies, and must, unless a greater caution on your partis hereafter had, lead to consequences of great embarrassment and the inordinate increase of the floating debt of the city. It arises chiefly from the disposition of indi- vidual members to please their constituents and the facility with which bills for improve- ments are hurried through your It may surprise you to know that there are Bow unexecuted acts enough to absorb the whole income of the Corporation for the next . a town.

We are woefully deficient in Charitable and reformatory institutions, The establishment of at least a house of Tefuge and reformation for vicious and de- praved youth in our midst is imperatively de- Mmanded by the ordinary claims of philan- thropy. Many of your fellow-citizens only await an Opportunity to move with you in thisenter. prise of benevolence. I therefore ask your &ction in this matter in such a manner as you may think best for the general good and the successful accomplishment of the object. Our only institution of a benevolent charac- ter is the Alms House; with it is connected an institution of a reformatory character—tne Work House. Neither of these now answer the purpose for whicn they were intended. The great influx of destitute persons into this city, In consequence of the rebellion, has filled to overflowing the Alms House, fand greatly increased the expense of maintaining i'. In the Work House there is a palpable want of some system et remunerative labor which will conduce to the health of the inmates and the support of the institution. There is, however, just outside of the city Himits an institution ior the deaf and dumb, founded by private charity, which I would commend to you for any aid in your power to atiord. Great credit is due the Intendant and commissioners of our Asylum. FIRE DEPARTMENT. The action ot your predecessors in the last Councils in organizing the Fire Department, and the system known as a paid Fire Depart ment has been satiefactory and deservedly gaining the confidence of the community. The orderly manner in which those compos- ing this department perform tbeir duty, when contrasted with the noise and confusion, and often times tumult and riot, incident to the old and abandoned yolunteer system, elicits general commendation, and gives wo the com- munity a reliet from the apprehensign of danger and a feeling of greater security. ‘The matter of the aecommodation of the fire- Men who are now compelled to remaiu at night and ali night at the engine honses, and who frequently risk life and limb in the dis- charge of their duty, merits your attention. The Fire Board were compelled for want of means to build new engine houses suit- able to the department under its new or- ganization, to avail themselves of such of the old houses as were most conveniently located and could be made most «yailable. These bave been repaired and altered so as to atford bunk room forthe men and stabling tor the borses. In the First District, the old Union Engine House being occupied by the Government, they were obliged to erecta frame building. In this district particularly would I urge you to build a new engine house. The Department consists of three steam fire engines, one hook and ladder truck and 6; men. It might be inereased by at least au additional steam fire engine to be located in the northern section of the city. Ivis very deficient in hose 202 000 feet, and the amount of tax dae thareon * is estimated at $175,000. How mach of ants tax will probably be realized is & matter diffi. cult to estimate, inasmuch as the Jaw gives the option of paying it in five annvel install- ments, with interest, or discharging it in tal? within thirty cays, with abatement of six per cent. for prompt payment. It is deemed safe to assume that $75,000 will be realized in the first year. This amount, whatever it may be, together with the accruimg water rents col- lected from those who use the water, consti- tutes the whole of our revenue for water pur- pcses, the stocks authorized by the act of Con- gress of March 3, 1859, being all issued. The revenue from water rents for the curremt year will be about $20,000; wherefore our avail- able water Income for the year may be assumed at $95,000 Doring the past year we purchased 15,61° feet of pipes, of six inches diameter, and 5,106 fret of pipes, of four inches diameter, at e cost of $22 (062.32; and 130 special castings, ata cost of $1,195.80. We laid during the sam» time 12.957 fee! of six inch pipe, and 935 feetef four inch pipe. The bills for laying the pipe have not all been handed in, but their Ageregate will not materially vary from $4,370.00, All of the six inch pipes not Isid as water mains last year were expanded .as branch pipes to the McOleliand fire puge, of which terty-nine were placed under the su- petintendence of the Water Department. ‘The Jaws for the laying of water mains which have been passed by the Councils and remain now onexecated wit! require about 51,350 feet of six inch pipes, and 4,300 feet of four inch pipes, being about6=! tons, which at the lowest market price at present $6,200 per ton, delivered at Georgetown wharves will amount to $12, To Jay these pipes at present contract prices Will cost $16,000. Stop cocks, branches, haul. © ing and incidental expenses will cost $1,000 More, making the total cost of execution of all the existing laws for laying water mains $74,222 00. Itis not expedient to execnte all of these laws thisseason. Many of them are for lines where the population is very sparse, aad the property notin condition to bear the burthen of additional taxation in the sparsely settled parts of the city, will be for & long time with- out corresponding benefits. It is thought that from the mass of these laws there msy be se- lected for present execution entirely: consist. ent with public interest, such as will require an expenditure of not exceeding 25,000 feet of pipe, and will cost in the same proportion as is indicated by the above estimate, £95,135 This will represent as large an amouat of work as is really needed, Q6d as much as can advantageously be done during this season. Moreover, if our operations are confined with- in the limits, instead of entering upon the next season, possibly embarrassed and looking for- ward to our revenues, we will most provably begin the season with sufficient funds in hand to make us independent of the markets, and masters ot all the chances ot the year. In view of the considerations above set forth, and of the fact that some streets are to be immediate- ly paved, and that pipe for those streets will be absolutely needed, I most respectfally Te- commend that the Mayor be authorized 1) 4n- and I would suggest that it be immediately | ticipate the water revenues to the extent of Tovided with at least four thousand feet more. | $30,0(0, or as much thereof as rey ON feel ‘o the chiet engineer and the gentlemen con. | sary for the immediate purchase of of six-inch stops and branches.

At the board there was an active demand for 5-20’s for ex- port, orders to buy having been brought by the steamer Damascus. Notwithstanding the im- proved quotations nt London, the price was weaker than on Monday, and quotations de- clined to 103K. Sixes ssl were 4 better, New issue 5.20’simproved !j. 10-10's were % lower. State stocks sympathized with the generally improved tone of the market; North Darolina 6s rose 1%, and Missouri 6’s %. Railroad bonds were quiet but firmer. The foreign exchange market was extremely dull. Gold eoutinnes unsettled in consequence of the scarcity of cash gold. The “bears” are borrowing freely to make their deliveries, pnying % percent. per day. They do thisin reference to buying, in the hope that after Saturday, the payment of the gold interest by the treasury will compel the “bulls” to dis- gorge the five millions they are now keeping out of the market. assage of that act the Councils have directed F street, from 5th,to 14th streets west; 4 street, from the canal to the City Hall; 5th street, from D to G streets north, and 6th street, from Mis- souri avenue ioL street to be paved. Being desirous toshow Congress that we were anx- ious to baye paved streets, and to do all in our ower to improve the condition of our city, so Ong ibe subject of Sopp laity f advertised all streets which were directed to be paved, have now already three under contract, and expect to commence the fourth in a few days. The manner of paving adopted is similar to that of Baltimore, and will add much to the improvement and beauty of the city. The powers given to the city by the act of Congress are very extended, and in the particular of pa- ving streets ehould be used with extreme cau- tior. In no evyent* should you use that power except at the instance of the property owner, unless public conventence and neces- sity demand it. An imoression prevails in the community that because power is given to the Corporation tolay ® tax on private property for paving streets that such improvement is solely at the cost of the property owner, and without cost to the city. No street can be paved without expense to the city, and great expense, too. This occurs from the paving of the intersec- tions, the flag footways and gutters being al- ways at the cost of the city. The system that we are now beginning in reference to our streets will doubtless prove a great blessing. If the property owner would enter into & calculation, he will readily see that he pursues the wisest course when he has the streets well paved, even at his own cost, rather than grav- eled,one day to be done again at short intervals, paying for it indirectly, as he does, through taxatiop, three or four times the amount it would cost if well paved at first, besides the Te Missotr1 ConstitutTion._The St Lonis Democrat of Saturday says : The Evening Despatch of yesterday pre-. tended to aye some information from Toler: son City fn regard to the official returns of the late election, and claimed that the ~ tion was defeated by several thousand votes,” ‘We are authorized to say that ils statemente are Withont foundation.
