The Court held that the objections were not sufficient; that the fallure to return the books nt the time named by law did not vi- tiato the nasesament, and that the amotint of taxes certified by the Town Clerk to the Cnum.Y Board, with view to puylnfi tid clalms audited by the Board of Town Auditors, was a_valid 16vy, and that it waa not _a levy by the County Board, It was also decided Ini this case that, under the present rovenue law,the timo of mak- !\'(“ltx tho levy was not materlal, overruliog the Mix case.

The houso was crowded with a large and brilliant throng of Iadies and gontlemen, At tho conclusion of tha reading of the paper, snge tho Times , which was grected with hiearty applausc, Judge Daly safd that the mecting hail boen called at this heated season becauso it had happened that our Centennlal cclobration had brought together from all parts of the world the array of distingulshed gucsta which thoy had tho pleasure ol mretlnfi that evening, e would express tho rleuura‘ g felt, and which ho was certain that all would feel, at the sight of tho very large sudicnce resenb—which was more than they had a right to expect ot this ex- tremoly heated tern.—and tho gaatification the members of the Boclety felt at the presence among them of thelr distinguistied gucst, Dom Pedro @’ Aleantars, Emperor of Brazfl, [Luml opplauee.] Judge Daly then .reforred in com- & mentary terms to Dr. August Petermann, of otha, then present, and to Dr. A.

When the applanse had subsided, the name of the Emperor of Brazil as an honorary mem- ber of the American Geographlical Soclety was proposed, The motion was rul. by Judgo Daly, carrled unanimously and with applause, which awelled to a perfecet roar when the Emperor came to the front with his paper in his hand, and jua nrlo of easy dignity commenced toren what really proved to bo a sort of farcwell apeech to the American peoplo.
