The action was brought under the 9th section of the city ordinance, which declares that the sexton of any church, having the care of the burial ground attached thereto, receives the body of any person without the certificate of the at- tending physician, or ifno physician was in attendance, then the certificate of some member of the family of the deceased, who was in attendance during @@o last. ill- noes, or ifinquest held, then the certificate of the coro- ner who held such inquest, shall be liable to pay a fine of $260 Iu this case it was alleged that the child wes in- terred before the certificate was obtained. The father of the child was called on the part of the prosecution to prove the:date of the burial of the deceased to show that it was anterior to the date of the certificate which was produced by the defendant ; but he could not remember Ube date of the interment, and tha vounsel for the prose tion not being prepared with any other testimony upon the point, @ nonsuit was granted, as it did not appear but the cortiticate might have been given previous to the interment.

The stock market opened very heavy this morning, and prices appear to be steadily settling down to the lowest depths. Under existing circumstances, we could hardly expect!a different state of things. There are many things weighing upon the market, and until some of them are cleared up and a little more confidence exists among all classes, there cannot be any material improvement in prices. A little good news from any quarter would have a very good effect upon the market, and give an impetus to prices, The advices from Mexi- coare considered rather favorable, and hopes are en- tertained that this is about the end of the fighting in that quarter. At the first board Harlem fell off 14 per coat, Long Island *{, Canton 34, Farmers Loan 4, Ner- mercial year, we have no doubt the aggregate will come pretty near one hundred millions of dollars. New Or- leans is, without doubt, the first exporting port in the country, about one half of the aggregate being shipped from that city. This will gives total shipment, for the country generally, of nearly two hundred millions of dol- lars for the year. ‘The import trade of New Orleans is also rapidly in- creasing, and we see no reason why it should not becomé avery important part of the foreign trade of that port. | ‘There is an immense market for foreign manufactures aud products in the valley of the Mississipi, and New Orleans is more favorably situated to supply that market than any Northern or Eastern city. The amount of duties received at New Orleans in the second quarter of 1847 was $375,983, against $327,624 for the correspon- ding quarter in 1846 ; showing an increase of $48,357 in 1847. This does uot, in reality, show the increase inthe importation, as these duties were received under two tariffs, that of 1842 and 1846, the average undef the for- | mer being about thirty-three per cent, and under the | latter about twenty-five per cent, which would have re- | quired an importation for the quarter in 1846 of $982,872, and in 1847, $1,508,932, | The following table, compiled from authentic sources, shows the amount of tax charged on a hundred dollars of valuation, for State, county, bridge, bu'lding, poor- house, road, school, township and corporation purposes | —the first and second years under the old tax law, the | present year under the existing law—in Hamilton coun- ty, Ohio.

It is true that the tax is more generally distributed under the new law than under the old, but the reduction in the rate is the principal point aimed at. In the event of the bill now before the Assembly of this State—New York— relative te the taxation of personal property, becoming a law, the rate will be very much reduced, and real estate holders very much rejieved.

A great quantity of light freight will reach market by these roads, which would otherwise remain in the hands of the producers. It is fortunate for all classes, particularly the produc- ere, that the improvement in prices for breadstufls bas been realized, even at this late day in the season, as it will give « great impetus tothe forwarding of supplies from the interior, and give us larger stock upon the suspension of navigation, than we should otherwise have had. The producers will be particularly benefitted by this, as it will induce them to bring out their crops, and urge them forward to market, instead of holding on un- til spring for better prices. Whatever stimulates the forwarding of breadstuffa this fall, is favorable to both consumers and producers; first, because it prevents a very extensive advance inprices now, and second, because every barrel of flour or bushel of grain brought of market before the suspension of navigation, will save something othe producers. Prices in the spring, after the opening of navigation, will, without doubt, rule very low, and many farmers will have couse to regret holding on #0 firmly to their surplus supply of breadstuffs.

Wasninoron, Oot, 20, 1847 The United States and Brazil, $c. | see it stated that the speech delivered by Mr. Tod: our new minister to Brazil,on his presentation to the Emperor, was prepared here by the government. This statement is entirely incorrect. The government had no previous knowledge whatever of its sentiments, and do not by any means approve of its tone. The speech was exceedingly mal-apropos, and if it were worth while, ! am very sure its sentiments weuld be disavowed by thig government. The construction to which it is liable, is an entirely erroneous one. Mr. Wise’s acts have been uniformly sustained by his government, and Mr. Tod , instead of receiving instructions to say or do aught that could reflect on Mr. Wise’s diplomatic conduct, was, on the contrary, n¢t entrusted with the conduct of negotia- tions touching the difficulty between the two govern - ments, That was very properly reserved for adjustment here’; so that any reference to Mr. Wise’s acts, was un- called for, and ill-advised. Mr. Tod was not sent out to disavow Mr. Wise’s acts, nor had he any authority to disavow them, as they still meet the warmest approval of this government. ‘The forbearance shown to Brasil in this transaction is Perfectly proper. Were she on an equality with us, it would of course be entirely misplaeed. As it ts, the mild ness with which she has been treated reflects the high ost credit on our government. In the whole affair, Brazil has played the small bully, knowing that the United States have no desire to en- counter enemies like her. The Emperor, as « matter of course, is a mere cypher.

Such excesses an Ma | Jor Lally complains of, are disgraceful; but certainly lees frequent in our army than in any that ever invaded an enemy's country. Considering the temptations to dis- order, the men have been remarkably orderly during the whole war, #0 that we can well afford that the ruflanly portion should be held up to censure.
