PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.—An informal meet- ing of the Fenian Congress was held to-day at the Assembly Buildings. About 600 delegates were present. The chairman delivered an ad. dress, but the Congress will not be organized for business until to-morrow. This evening a large and enthnsiastic meet- ing was held in the large hall ofthe Assembly Building. It was largely attended by ladies and gentlemen. The Congress will be in session during the week,and its{proceedings will be of ahighly important character. The session will be secret. Excellent speeches in favor of the cause were delivered by Captain Welch, of this city, Mr. Mormon, of Chicago, and others, Much enthusiasm was manifested. A couple of persons attempted to disturb the meeting by obnoxions remarks to the askem- non ag but they were quiekly hustled out of the hall. FROM MEXIco. Reported Successes of the Juarists. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.—Reports from Mex- ico, state that a district of the State of Oajaca is in full insurrection against the Lmperial forces. ‘The Imperial journa] acknowledges that the success of the Jnarists there are really impor- tapi. There are also troubles in Sinaloa, from whence many French residents have been ex- Hed. p Considerable excitement has been raised in the city of Mexico by a murder and the speedy punishment of the criminals. Three men, named Urego, Penida, and Guer- Tiero, aseassinated a young citizen named Ju- lian Costella. Public indignation was greatly aroused by the circumstances of the case, and the Empe- ror ordered that the murderers should be tried and punished by @ military tribunal within forty-eight hours. This was done, and the three murderers were executed publicly in the same hour. The Trial of Emerson Ethridg:. Cairo, Oct. 15.—On the second day of the trial of Emerson Etheridge, the accused, who had been permitted to plead his own case, read a plea denying the jurisdiction of the Commis- sion, which the Court overruled, upon which Etheridge filed an exception to the ruling. He then plead not guilty to all the chi and specifications except the second specification and second charge, to which he plead guilty, and the court allowed him to introduce the whole letter from which the extracts was made. This letter is known as the ‘Dresden letter,” dated June 28, in whieh he made the declara- tion that Tennessee had uo law but force, and no ee to ch beer Lghiarloicacy = or Fi uta us’ jon entor yy the payonen a the ne; od ag After some evidence for the prosecution, the accused presented the Court with a written statement, whieh admits all the facts in the first charge, namely, the encouragement of resistance to the enforcement of the laws.

The recent local difficul- lies between the papers in New Orleans baye been satisfactorily adjusted.

The Legislature is about three-fourths Ke- publican. ——- +08 | FINANCIAL.—The New York stock maiket yesterday was dull and somewhat depressed by the firm feeling on the money market. Opera- tors see that they must calculate upon a7 per cent. movey market, and have to moderate their views of a rise accordingly. There is, however, a general confidence that prices will goup beyond present quotations, and this checks the “bears” from makiag any contracts, while it induces the “short” cliqnes to resort to every sort of means for keeping up a stringent state of the money market. Government securities are quiet. The de- cline of Five-twenties in London, and the pos- sibility that an advance in the Bank of England rate of interest to six per cent. may compel a further decline have produced a weakness in Five-twenties in which all other national se- curities sympathize. Old issue were ¥ lower: Seyen-thirties, Second Series, sold at 9 y. Gold continues dull.

Oct. 13th, 1865.— To the Board of Aldermen and Board & Common Council.—Gentlemen :—I would ad- vise, by way of precaution, that in all bills for improvements made ander the act of Congress of vitor 23d, 1665, the following words be incorporated : “And to defray the expense incurred under this act a special tax be, and is hereby levied and imposed, by authority of the act of Con- grees of February 23d, i885, on all lots and subdivisional parts of lots bordering on.” (Here particularizing the improvements.) “The sald tax or taxes to be levied, assessed and col- Tected in the same manner as is now provided for in the acts of May 23d and May Ath, 1853, for assessing and collecting the cost of laying foot pavements and paying carriageways. “Very respectfully, * RICHARD WALLACH, Mayor.” Referred to improvements committee. A communication was also presented from the Mayor nominating for trustees of public schools the following gentlemen : First School Districi—J. O. Wilson, J. S. Brown and J. P. Tustin.

W. Downey. A communication was also presented from the President of the Soldiers and Sailors Na- tional Union League, inviting the members of the Board of Aldermen to be present at the Meeting of their society on Friday evening next, at which time addresses are to be deliy- ered by sen mrp speakers; the invitation ‘was accepted. loyd presented the petition of sun- Mr. A. dry merchants asking the enactment of a law respecting pedlars and hawkers, Segre porweny by 4 bill requiring all persons who sel. goods by sample trom other cities in amounts ex- ceeding $50 to procure a license for the same; referred to the finance committee. Mr. Guhck, from the committee on finance, to whom was referred the petition of the Frank- lin Insurance Oo! ly; Teported back the same with 4 bill authorizing the Mayor to ac- cept $500 in full payment of taxes due the cor- peration from said company for the years 1864 and 1865. Mr. Gulick, in explanation of the bill, said the asseseor called on a member of the company for a statement of their amount of capital stock, which was given without knowing for what purpose, and that in the assessment were in- cluded $14,000 in U. 8. bonds, $14,000 in bonds of the corporation and a |: amount of other bonds below par. The petitioners claimed that the collector had no right to collect taxes on the government bonds, and laid the subject be- fore the Board of Appeal, but when they came to yp ded taxes they found that no reduction had nmiade. From the statements made it appeared that the company should justly pay taxes on $17,000, but were willing to pay taxes on $25,000 for each of the two years. The Chair regarded this as a very important subject, Measures were now being taken by parties who deemed themselves improperly Ascessed, to present bills to the Board of Alder- men for the revision of their assessments, and it was a serious question whether they had the right to revise ‘assessments without some ac- knowledgement from the Assessors that an error had been committed. He had already $15,000 involved in matters of that kind, which had been put in his hands to be disposed of, and the passage of this bill now would open the door to thousands of similar cases. In his opinion it would be better to obtain the opinion of the Corporation Attorney before legislating further on that subject. After discussion, the petition and bill were Tecommitted to the finance committee, with instructions to procure the written opinion of the Corporation Attorney touching the right of the Councils to revise assessments. Mr. Gulick. from the same committee, also reported a bill chpropsiating. $150 to defray the funeral expenses of Jacob Kleiber, late Mes- senger of the Mayor; passed. Mr. Cross, from the same committee, reported back the petition of Samuel Ourand, Mayor's clerk, for increased compensation in consid- eration of having to make the disbursements of the Metropolitan Police fund, accompanied by a bill increasing the annual compensation $300: which was passed.
