MAYOR'S OFFICE, \ Savannah, Nov. 30, 1863. J Fmxow CmxsNB: I have the honor herewith to submit to you, pursuant to Ordinance, the “ Statement of cash re ceived and paid through the Treasury of the City of Savan nah, from lit Nov., 1U2, to 81st Oct.. 1853, Inclusive." It U not necessary for me to direct your attention spe cially to each Item ot expenditure; nor is it requisite that Ilihould Institute any formal comparison between the finan cial operations of the year Just closed and any or Its prede cessors. You will examine for yourselves the particulars of the Treaeurer’i Report, and require no explanation at my handa, except where marked differences present them- selves between the results now spread before you, and oth ers heretofore communicated. The principal heads of regular expenditure are tlw City Watch and Interest. The expenditure under the former head amounts, aa you will observe, to $30,205 00, which exceeds the expenditure of the fiscal year Immediately pre ceding It Tills excess grows out of the increase of the watch, rendered necessary by the extension ol the City, and which was ordered by the Board of 1851-2. Under the head Interest, you will find an expenditure of $88,632 40, an increase over the year before or more than $20,000. This large Increase arises from the issue of new bonds during tho years 1852 and 1853 for Water Work*. Railroads. &c.;-but a deduction should be made therefrom of the amounts received for back interest and premiums on bonds sold, say $8,285 21. Deducting this last amount from the gross amount, $88,632 40, above stated, you find the nett amount under this bead to b« $68,26719, against which you have the following offset: Dividends paid in cash— Central R.

Mr. Olay received bis election by a highly complimentary vote, against those wbt were greatly his seniors in age and political experience. He will enter the Sen ate one of the youngest, if not the youngest, of its members; but being possessed of suporior talents, and a modest appreciation ot the dignity of tho posi tion be is about to assume, we are of opinion, says the Advtrtittr, that ho will hear his blushing honors with becoming grace, and establish a basis for a un tloual reputation of no secondary rank. The Regatta To-Day. The first annual Regatta of the Aquatic Club of Georgia commences in our city this day. The follow ing are the prizes which will bo contended for, viz : Toe first prize, 1400. for eight oared boats, not to ex ceed forty-eight feet in Iongtb ; the second, $300, for six oared boats, not to exceed forty-three feet in length; tbo third, $200, for four oared boats, not to exceed Mr, Lawrence, of Cobb—To alter and amend an act to regulate the fees of tho county office* so far ns relates to Cobb County.

Of their qualities, or the skill of those who manage them, it is unnecessary to speak, farther than to say that who— aver leads them will attain no mean distinction.

The fragment of a broken orrery, the three balls, seem the emblem of something wrong in the planotary system—of course they didn’t plan it right or suob things would never bo. Did yon ever enter one or those dim be-curtained places, a pawnbroker’s shop ? We don’t mean as s nephew, io claim relationship, but merely as "a look er-on In Vienna.” Did the dealor in huinblu sorrows happen to be a friend, and did he permit you to look through tho lattice of hla shadowy confessional up on tboso who presented themselves at bis counter 7 And when they came in. ono after another, now a mere child, and now a tottering old woman, some times a well dressed young man. apparently with health and habits at par. and sometimes a miserable votary of vice In vice’s livery, dldn* yon begin to think there were a few chapters of the history or Immunity yet unwritten 7 Thousands or little bundles, all ticketed and num bered and booked, neatly packed upon shelves that ran away back into the darkness ; bundles, not one half of which will ever be reclaimed. Wbat stories are connected with some of them, that nobody but heaven and the pawnbroker knows. Wedding dres ses are there, that have been kept, year after year, as souvenir* of a better time, tin they could be kept no longer. Little did the blushing girl think, when arrayed upon that bridal morn, that the dress she wore would ever rejoice In such companionship.— And who knows that there are sbronds there 7— •'8hroud47” asks the pawnbroker, as you thought ont aloud, “ maybe yon don’t think so, but there is a shroud, a little sbroud, in that snug little bundle I touch with my stick, this minute, I loaned fifty oent*on it a longtime ago.” And bore in the sare—wedding rings and monrniog rings, seals with love’s devices on them, watches that are dead as the hopes of those who once wore them : rings that once encircled lUly fingers; watches that onoe boat in haughty bosoms. Many a woman makes a pawnbroker’s shop of the human heart. Bat there are pawnbroker’! shops, not indicated by the three balls. Many a human heart is a pawnbrok er’s shop, filled with lamentable mementos of better, brighter days—hearts, where may be found the wreoks of happiness and hope, pawned to supply the imperious present, whose pledges are never redeemed bat revert to the melancholy and remorseless past.

The fund although thus increased in yet far below the amount necessary properly to carry out the views of its founder. I trust that it will not ouly be allowed to continue accumulating by its owu Increase, but that tho City Council will from time to time, as heretofore, mako additions to It. If this bo done for five years longer, there will be at the end of that period a fund sufficient to establish on a sure foundation such a School as Mr. Msssit contemplated. You will perceive that the Market paid last year a reve nue of $3,024 62. after deducting all expenees, and alsu $700 68 spent in repairs. 1 believe that ii judicious tin prnvement or extension of the present Market will Increase tbis revenue, while it will greatly promote tho convenience of our people. The change can be made most easily either by carrying the building nut to the line of Congross-strcot. on tbo south, Bryan, on the north, or by adding a story. There are many other ways of accomplishing tho desired object, and it may be that some other plan than those Just suggested would, on examination, be found preferable, but no matter how it shall be dono. I believe that the citizen* of Savannah should have a better Market, and I believe that a comparatively small amount ol money prudcntly lnld out will giro them one. Che expenditures under the head Board ot Health, have Increased over the fiscal year 1861-62. This Increase Is, to some extent, attributable to the establishment of snow and better system for the relief of the *lek poor. We have reason to be profoundly thaukful for the entire exemption from epidemic disease which has distinguished our city du ring tue last season, so fatal toother communities,and, whatever may bo tho cost. It is the duty of your city au thorities to expend your money, nut lavishly, but freely fm the preservation and promotion of the health of our com munity. Tho Scavenger's Department yearly Increases in oxpense. nnd you will find to its Dr. fur tho last fiscal year $10.6U4 16.

I hope that attention will bo di rected to the subject by succeeding Boards, If you compare tbe receipts with the expenditures of the Jail you will Hud that the tatter exceed tbo former. Under almost any circumstances this fact should afford vou pleas ure, because it appears to tndlcute a decrease of crime iu your city. Ho far os crime is coucerned you may cbnllengr . comparison with any dty of the same population. But your Jell Is not only intended fur the custody of sup- , posed criminals, but for tne safe keeping and punishment : of disobedient servants. It has repeatedly been brought to ' public notice, by tbe Graud Juries of tbo county, that the t present Jail Is, by reasou of its defective construction, en-' tlrely unsuited to tbe uses for which it was Intended, and no better proof can be furnished in consideration of these presentments, then tbe fact that many masters are unwill ing to expose their servants to the dangers of such a resi dence, and prefer to lodge them, when necessary,!n the S rivato establishments. This has caused a considerable ecrease In the revenue of the Jail from this source, and the decrcaso will continue until a better building with its proper concomitant, a work-house, eball be provided. 1 am not aware that any further explanation of the ac companying statements is necessary.
