WANTS MoSEy We see it stated that
the City of Philadelphia has applied to the
State Legislature for loan as an immediate
necessity. The Psansysranian says the
amount required by the city to place her ii
nances even in respectable condition, is
a million and half. Ii the statement did
not appear so prominen', we should be in
clned to doubt its correctness, az in these
times of so much intense rivalry among the
cities, we suppose they are d;saclned to ex-
pose their necessities to the SCOTS OF UNI
