SOUTHERN DISPENSARY.
According to custom, the Managers of the Southern Dispensary, lay before the public their Annual Report. In so doing, they lament the necessity of exposing to view the smallness of the sum derived from annual con- tributions, in an institution among the most useful ever devised by the spirit of benevolence. But for the aid lent by the occasional legacies of the charitable, the poor of Southwark would have been denied the benefit of an institution, to which they have long looked for assistance, in the trying circumstances of siekness, im- bittered by poverty. It cannot be too often repeated, that such charities are among the earliest applied to by those who are descending from competency and com- fort, into poverty and sorrow; that their benefits are sel- dom abused or misapplied; and that by the timely aid derived from them, many a sufferer is prevented from incurring expenses, which might render his poverty ir- remediable. It is hoped that those who are desirous of directing a portion of their superfluity, towards the re- lief of poverty combined with disease, will not wait to be personally solicited, but will enhance the value of the donation, by making it a free-will offering.
Donations and subscriptions may be addressed to R. M'Mullin, Treasurer, No. 161 Swanson street, or to any of the Managers.

The Managers of the Northern Dispensary, in pre- senting their Annual Report, wish to direct the attention of the publie, particularly to the circumstance that the benefit of this charity has been bestowed in 1150 cases of disease, at an average expense of 31 cents in each case. He who has languished on the bed of sickness, and has imbibed hope and consolation from the attention of his Physician, and experienced relief from pain, or renewed health from the use of his remedies, will highly appreciate an institution which thus cheerfully confers the same benefit upon thousands of the afflicted, and materially diminishes the amount of human misery. In the last report of this board, the formation of a Medical Library was advocated. Since that time some progress has been made in the measure, under a conviction that it is calculated to be of considerable service to the ob- jects of our charity, by the facility it affords their physi- cians of extending their Medieal knowledge. Owing to our economical arrangements, we have been enabled to do this without interfering with the main object of the Institution. But wedesire it to be expressly under- stood that dispensing inferior Medicines forms no part of our economy. Annual contributions, donations and le- gacies of the charitable, will be gratefully received by John C. Browne, Treasurer, President of the Kensing-

MR. HAZARD :-
With this you will receive an extract from my memo- randums, relative to the coldest mornings, commencing with the winter of 1824, and ending with this day. My observations were taken at half past seven A. M., ex- cepting a few at 8 A. M. from the same thermometer, placed in the same situation and exposed to the north. When the glass was as high as 20, I made no memoran- dum.

SCHUYLKILL NAVIGATION.
Annual Report of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill Navigation Company to the Stockholders.
The return of another year calls upon the President and Managers to render an account of their proceedings, with a statement of the affairs of the Company, and the prospects for the coming season.
The anticipation in the last report, of a handsome in- crease of the tolls of the Company has been fully reali- VOL. III. 4
zed, and every view of the subject leads to the belief of a great augmentation of its business and profits in the future; the increase has been gradual so as to warrant its permanency, to continue confidence in the usefulness of the work, and add daily to the.resort by traders to its conveniences, not only from the country on its borders, but from more distant parts ou the Susquehanna.
During the last year many substantial improvements and repairs have been put upon the work; parts which were early constructed, have been faithfully repaired, and will not again require expenditure for a considera- ble period, Works which had not been completed, have been finished, and much progress made in others which were referred to in the last report. Amongst the former may be named the extension of the navigation to Mill Creek, which is finished in a very faithful manner, and does great credit to the engineer and contractor, Mr. George Duncan; and amongst the latter, which are nearly completed, are to be found the.channels and the towpaths of Fair Mount and Flat Rock dams, and the extension of the towpath to Sheridan's Bridge from Fair Mount locks. The Canal at Plymouth has been widened and a new lock and feeder put in, so as to make the Canal available for water power.
The works generally have been improved in solidity, and few accidents have occurred to impede a steady na- vigation during the whole season.
In pursuance of the authority given at the last meet- ing of the Stockholders, the board has borrowed 102, 630 dollars, of which 54,630 dollars was taken at an in- terest of 5 per cent., and the remainder at 5§ per cent., the latter with a small premium averaging 1} per cent. The sums thus raised, were applied to pay for the afore. mentioned works and repair, for the purchase of Real Estate at Plymouth, 10,800 dollars; for damages 10,112 dollars 58 cents; for temporary loans 40,000 dollars, and for permanent loans 8000 dollars.
Anthracite coal, the use of which a few years ago was unknown, and of which in 1820, only between three and four hundred tons was consumed, has now become an article of the first necessity, and the consumption has advanced to upwards of 75,000 tons a year and is constantly increasing; so as to warrant the belief, that the demand will be fully equal in a few years to the means of supply, and thus afford a bountiful return to the Stockholders for the long privation of the income of their capital, advanced to forward a magnificent work, and one so important, to the State.
The quantity of coal which was brought to market last season, was
47284 tons.
And in 1827, only 31360
Showing an increase of 15,924 tons
or more than 50 per cent. which increase is very nearly equal to the whole quantity brought down in 1826, which was 16767 tons.
.. But valuable as this fact is, there is yet another source for the augmentation of the business, which is very en- couraging, and slow's the importance of the trade inde- pendent of Coal.
The whole amount of the tolls last year, was $87171
Of this there was derived from Coal, 46202
And from articles of Merchandise, Flour, Iron, &c. 40969
Which shows that the tolls on articles other than Coal, are nearly equal to those received from Coal.
In 1828, the whole amount of tolls was, as before mentioned, 87171 And in 1827, 58174
Being an increase of
28997
which is an advance of about 50 per cent. on the tolls of 1827.
· It may be observed also, that the tolls of 1828 are upwards of 100 per cent. more than those of 1826, which were 43,108 dollars.

The continued advance of the ascending trade is also
matter of great encouragement.
$23170
While in 1827, it was only
15284
Showing an increase of about 51 per cent $7886
The tonnage conveyed on the Canal in 1828,
was,
105,463 tons.
And that of 1827, was
65,501
Difference, 39,962
being an increase of 61 per cent. The tonnage in 1826 was 32,404 tons, so that the tonnage of 1828 is more than three times that of 1826.
Of the tolls, there was received from boats which na- vigated the Union Canal, the sum of 12,214 dollars and 65 cents, from which source a much larger sum may be expected the coming season, from the great improve- ments and exertions now making by its active and' en- terprising president and managers.
The income of the company from its Real Estate, and from its Ground Rents and Water Rents will, this year be, 12,426 dollars; the amount received last year, it appears by the accounts submitted, was 7618 dollars 94 cents, to which will be added the arrcarages 2500 dollars.
With this report, the Managers beg leave to present the following accounts, which they refer to as part of it, viz.
No. 1. The accounts of the company for 1828.
No. 2, A general account of the affairs of the Com- pany.
No. 3. A statement of the tonnage which ascended the Schuylkill Navigation in 1828.
"No. 4. A statement of the articles descending the .Navigation in 1828."
Upon the whole, the President and Managers see eve- ry reason to be satisfied with the prospects of the com- `pany, and believe they are not too sanguine in express- ing an opinion, that some return will be made at an early day to the Stockholders for their long continued patience and perseverance.
By order of the Board of Managers, JOSEPH S. LEWIS, President.

MEETING ON BOSTON PORT BILL.
Philadelphia, June, 1774. At a very large and respectable meeting of the free- holders and freemen of the city and county of Phila- delphia, on Saturday, June 18, 1774.
Thomas Willing. John Dickinson, Esqs. Chairmen.
I. Resolved, That the act of parliament, for shutting up the port of. Boston, is unconstitutional; oppressive to the inhabitants of that town; dangerous to the liber- ties of the British colonies; and that therefore, we con- sider our brethren, at Boston, as suffering in the com- mon cause of America.
II. That a congress of deputies from the several co- lonies in North America, is the most probable and pro- por mode of procuring relief for our suffering brethren, obtaining redress of American grievances, securing our rights and liberties, and re-establishing peace and har- mony between Great Britain and these colonies, on a constitutional foundation.
III. That a large and respectable committee be im- mediately appointed for the city and county of Phila- delphia, to correspond with the sister colonies and with the several counties in this province, in order that all may unite in promoting and endeavouring to attain the great and valuable ends, mentioned in the foregoing re- solution.
IV. That the committee nominated by this meeting shall consult together, and on mature deliberation de- termine, what is the most proper mode of collecting the sense of this province, and appointing deputies for the same, to attend a general congress; and having deter- mined thereupon, shall take such measures, as by them shall be judged most expedient, for procuring this, pro- vince to be represented at the said congress, in the best manner that can be devised for promoting the public welfare.
V. That the committee be instructed immediately to set on foot a subscription for the relief of such poor in -. habitants of the town of Boston, as may be deprived of the means of subsistence by the operation of the act of parliament, commonly styled the Boston port bill. The money arising from such subscription to be laid out as the committee shall think will best answer the ends pro- posed.
VI. That the committee consist of forty three persons, viz. John Dickinson, Edward Pennington, Jolın Nixon, Thomas Willing, George-Clymer, Samuel Howell, Jo- seph Reed, John Roberts, (miller) Thomas Wharton, jun. Charles Thompson, Jacob Barge, Thomas Barclay, William Rush, Robert Smith, (carpenter;) Thomas

After the first reading of the propositions that had been prepared for the meeting on Saturday the 18th inst., and before they were put up separately, the Rev. Dr. Smith made the following short address, which is pub - lished at the desire of many,
GENTLEMEN,
The occasion of this meeting has been fully explained to you, and sundry propositions read, which are now to be separately offered for your approbation or disappro- bation. But before you proceed to this business, it has been thought proper to submit a few things to your good judgment, with respect to the order and decorum necessary to be observed, in the discussion of every question.
It need not be repeated to you, that matters of the highest consequence to the happiness of this province, nay of all British America, depend upon your delibera- tions this day-perhaps nothing less than, whether the breach with the country from which we descended shall be irreparably widened, or whether ways and means upon constitutional grounds, may not yet be devised, for closing that breach; and restoring that harmony from which, in our better days, Great Britain and her colonies derived mutual strength and glory, and were exalted into an importance that, both in peace and war, made them the envy and terror ef the neighbouring nations?
While subjects such as these are agitated before us, every thing that may inflame and mislead the passions should be cast far behind us. A cause of such impor- tance and magnitude as that now under our' delibera- tion, is not to be conducted to its true issue by any heat- ed or hasty resolves, nor by any bitterness and animosi- ties among ourselves, nor even perhaps by too severe a recapitulation of past grievances; but require the tem- perate and enlightened zeal of the patriot, the prudence and experience of the aged, the strength of mind and vigour of those, who are in their prime of life; and, in short, the united wisdom and efforts of all, both high and low, joining hand in hand, and setting foot to foot, upon the firm ground of reason and the constitution.
Whenever party distinctions begin to operate, we shall give cause of triumph to those, who may be watchful as well as powerful to abridge us of our native right .- There ought to be no party, no contention here, but whe shall be firmest and foremost in the common cause of America Every man's sentiments should be freely' heard, and without prejudice. While we contend for. liberty with others, let us not refuse liberty to each other.
Whatever vote is known to be now passed, upon full deliberation, and by the unanimous voice of this great city and county, will not only be respected through all America, but will have such a weight as the proudest Minister in England may have reason to respect. But if it is known to be a divided vote, or adopted hastily on some angry day, it will only be injurious to our own cause.
What I have in charge to request of you is this-that if, on any point, we should have a difference of senti- ments, every person may be allowed to speak his mind freely, and to conclude what he has to offer, without any such outward marks of approbation or disapprobation, as clapping or hissing; and that if a division should be necessary (which it is hoped may not be the case this day) such division may be made in the manner desired by the chairmen, with all possible order and decorum.
The following is a copy of the Circular Letter sent by. the Committee for this city and county, to the differ- ent counties in this province.
Philadelphia, June 28, 1774.
GENTLEMEN :-
The committee of correspondence for this city and county, beg leave to enclose you printed copies of the resolves, passed at a very large and respectable meeting of the Freeholders and Frecmen in . the State-house Square, on Saturday the 18th inst. By the 4th of those resolves, you will observe that it was left for the Com- mittee "To determine on the most proper mode of col- lecting the sense of this province in the present critical situation of our affairs, and appointing Deputies to at- tend the proposed Congress.". In pursuance of this trust, we have, upon the maturest deliberation, determined upon the mode contained in the two following proposi- tions, which we hope may meet with the approbation and concurrence of your respectable county, viz.
"1. That the Speaker of the Honourable House of Representatives be desired to write to the several mem- bers of Assembly in this province, requesting them to meet in this city as soon as possible, but not later than the 1st of August next, to take into their consideration our very alarming situation.
2. That letters be written to proper persons in each county, recommending it to them to get Committees ap- pointed for their respective counties, and that the said Committees, or such number of them as may be thought proper, may meet in Philadelphia at the time the Re- presentatives are convened, in order to consult and ad- vise on the most expedient mode of appointing Depu- ties for the general congress, and to give their weight to such as may be appointed."
The Speaker of the bb& obliging and ready manner, had agreed to comply with the request in the former of these propositions; but we are now in- formed that, on account of the Indian disturbances, the Governor has found it necessary to call the Assembly to meet in their legislative capacity on Monday July 18, being about the same time the Speaker would probably have invited them to a conference or convention in their private capacity.
What we have therefore to request is, that if you ap- prove of the mode expressed in the second proposition, the whole or part of the committee appointed, or to be appointed for your county, will meet the committees from the, other counties at Philadelphia, on Friday the 15th of July, in order to assist in framing instructions, and preparing such matters as may be proper to recom- mend to our Representatives at their meeting the Mon- day following.
We trust no apology is necessary for the trouble we propose giving your committee, of attending at Philadel- phia; as we are persuaded you are fully convinced of the necessity of the closest union among ourselves both in sentiment and action; nor can such union be obtain- ed so well by any other method, as by a meeting of the county committees of each particular province, in one place, preparatory to the general congress.
We would not offer such an affront to the well known public spirit of Pennsylvanians, as to question your zeal on the present occasion. Our very existence in the rank of Freemen, and the security of all that ought to be dear to . us, evidently depend upon our conducting this great cause to its proper issue by firmness, wisdom and unanimity. We cannot therefore doubt your ready concurrence in every measure that may be conducive to the public good; and it is with pleasure we can assure you, that all the colonies, from S. Carolina to N. Hamp- shire, seemanimated with one spirit in the common cause, and consider this as the proper crisis for having our dif- ferences with the Mother Country brought to some cer. tain issue, and our liberties fixt upon a permanent foun- dation. This desirable end can only be accomplished by a frce communion of sentiments, and a sincere fervent regard to the interests of our common country. We beg to be favoured with an answer to this and whether the Committee for your county can attend at l'hila. at the time proposed. Signed by the Chairman.

MONIED INSTITUTIONS OF PHILADELPHIA.
[JANUARY
CAPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA.
An interesting document has lately been published in the New York Daily Advertiser, entitled " A statistical and comparative view of the monied institutions of the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, for the year 1828, showing the number of shares of stock, the amount of each share, and the product of each institu- tion from the 1st January 1828, to the 31st December 1828. Compiled from official sources, and personal in vestigation, by Thomas H. Goddard, accountant." The insertion of all the tables, would occupy too much space- we therefore insert only the table relative to Philadelphia; and also the one exhibiting the general compara- view of the capital of each city.
