New Buildings in New York. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NINETEENTH WARD. ‘This ward lies in the upper part of the city— boundedon one side by Fortieth and Eighty-sixth streets, and on the other by the North and East rivers. Here the improvements are not upon 80 grand a scale as in any of the lower wards, on 93- eount of its being at so great a distance from the business portion of the city. Still, by the constant poise kept up by the blasting of rocks, one weuld imagine that building was going forward toa great extent. This ward being out of the firo limits, num- bers take the advantage, and build frame houses; these houses are generally small, and not much bigger than a shanty. They are built and oocupied by the working class of the Irish population. The Improvements, as regards laying ont and grading etreets, are Very Numerous. Second avenue will be soon completed ag far as Harlem. On the north side the improvemonts are very numerous, particu- larly in the neighborhood of Bleventh avenue and Porty: fifth street. The people complain here greatly against the Hudson River Railroad Co., for ranuing are twenty-five feet front, and four stories high. The firat stories will be occupied as ctores. T will be finished thie fall, and will cost about $4, each. Mr. Martin is building a dwe!ling house in Forty- ninth street, near Bleventh avenue It is a cheap house, and will not cost over $2,500.

To Jamzs Gorpon Bernerr, Esq — Dear sir—Permit me, Sir, to inquire through you, how far the erection of the new Italian Opera House is progrersing, up town. It isto be regretted ournot hav- ing one just now, when such an array of talent is amongst us, and which could, no doubt, be induced to appearin grand opera if opportunity and befithing ae- commodation were ready. As it is, we are compelied to sit through a dreary concert, made agroeabie and tempting only by a few scattered gems from such charming artistes as Sontag and Alboni. It is asad wistake, thie concert giving, on such an extensive scale; and when we reflect upon it, it is hardly the fair thing, when we know that in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Naples, &c., have ail their grand opera and ballet, for a comparative tithe to what we py for the gratification of hearing a single artiste fiom the vast ranks of those places. In London or Paria we find such an opera as “Tho with stea' erated ine boiler outside the bufla- ing, and be! ae surface of the ground The heat, Paget be gorse through steam pipes, in q @ generat ee Sal owriodto the several apartments through cavities im the brick walls, by which the ventilatton ofthe building will be much improved All the exterior wood work is cowplotely seps- rated from the interier by means of brick arches over the openings on the interior, instead of the common woeden jentals and farrs. The ceilings, and those parts of the walls which cannot be mado of brick, are mado three inches thiok, and mado solid, 20 as to approximate as nearly as possible to the solidity of brickwork, and avoid the injarious effect of yielding surfaces upon music. The principal hall is on the third floor, and will rtably seat three thousand persons. It is de- for ooncerte, lectures, &e , and measures about 75 by 133 feet, and is about 50 feet high. It has a single gallery, supported by 20 trusses, project- ing from the main piers in the walli—thus obviating the interference of pillars. The seats aro in the most oved form, with open cast-irow arm seroils on the aisles, and are numbered. They are elevated from the platform, s0 a3 to give ail a fair view of the singer or leoturer.

Ocr. 1L—The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York vs. Joseph Jenkins. —The piaintitts I~ sist that they are not liable to taxation, and e@ brought this action against the tax collector for wrongtully, as they contend, levying on their pro- perty, Corporations, it is admitted, aro liable to taxation on their ‘* capital’—but ‘* mutual’ insur. ance companies, like the plaintifis, it is argued, have “no capital? This ion, it seems to ma, is not zaintainable, in principle or in point of jew. The word ‘+ capital,” in ite general aceepta- nears the stock or fund on which an individual or firm or corporation trades or carries on business. (Case cf Mutual Insurance Company of Buffalo, 4 tock, 442) Where a fixed sum/in a given io- stance is expressly declared to be the capital, that sum, whether increased by profits or diminished by losses, is taken as the measure of taxation—not from any principle, but because such happens to be the wording of the particular act or charter. Such was the case of the Bank of Utica, in 4 Paige R, 399. All moneyed or stock corporations, de- riving an income or profit, are liable to tax- ation on their capital; and, of course, if that capital be not otherwise limited, on the fund upon which they do business. A corporation au- thorized by Jaw to make insurances, whether on fires or on lives, is 2 moneyed Rorpereiuny and may mako profits, although eo nomine it makes no peri- odical dividend. In the Mutual Life Insurance Co., who are the plaintiffs in this case, every customer, in proportion to the business he brings to the con- cern, is a stockholder—his shares, instead of being, - a ordinary corporations, exact aliquot parts pf the common fund, are graduated by the DigmiANt or , instead of being confined to a fixed invariable sum, grows with the growth of those premiums; the interest being, in the first instance, resorted to for the ent of losses The mere cireumstance that a portion of the common fund is liable to be withdrawn on the happening of a death, does not destroy its character as capital— the same result follows from death in the case of a private partnership, and from fire or ship- wreck the case of an ordinary insurance company. The company themselves, on their invitations to the publi obviously contem- plate their moneys and sec! ies ascapital. They syeak of their ‘stability and perpetuity” of their business, as founded on “‘an accumulated fund of a million of dollars, securely invested ia bonds and mortgages, &c.” And in the act of in- corporation, when directing the investment of the “‘premiums received for insurance,” it is provided that the real property ‘‘to secure such investment of capital, shall, in every case, be worth twice the amount loaned thereon.” The conclusiea then, is, that this ‘accumulated fund,” by what- ever name it may be designated, is the corporate property of the plaintiffs, and not the individual roperty of the stockholders or contributors. in the same sence and with the same qualifications as the capital of any moneyed corporation not found- ed on the mutual principle; and that the plaintiffs, therefore, are liable to taxation, in respect of such fund, in the same manner as any other corporation in respect of its capital.

Go The New Musical Hall in Boston—Tremont Temple. Boston, Sept. 28, 185 | Mn. Bannert:—Tho great interest which the | community has in the proper construction of rooms and buildings, designed for public purposes—deli- berative, religious or musical—induces me to ask your attention to some of the novel features of the new Tremont Temple in this city, which is now near its completion. The ignorance or indifference of architects so often and so injuriously disregard the fundamental laws of health, that an attempt, on however small e scale, to improve upom the pre- vailing modes of construction, deserves not only commendation, but to be held up as an example to others. The drowsiness, diseomfort, and uchealthit ness, of our public rooms and churches, are com- plained of with good reason; for in not one in® hundred cascs docs the question of health, ease, or vontilation, enter into the architect's estimate of the objects to be secured in orecting a building has made one promising attempt to reform 3 please give Boston due credit for so good a 1 bave received from the architect cf tho vow Temple, the details of its construction and ar- rangement, with a few of which I will supply you. _ The style of architecture is come moditication of the Italian. It occupies the whole ground of the old Temple, which wos burned in Mavch jast, and covers the entire lot, measuring 94 fect front and 126 feet deep, with the exception of a smali spaco | om tho north side and in rear for light. The front | je 75 feet high, and is to be ornamented with a ba- lustrade level with the second floor, rustic work on | the outer angles and about the doors, windows aud | niches, nd a deep cornice to crown the whole is to be carried back upon the davks of the | building to @ distaneo of fifty fect, giving an ua- Hl ja ly massive and imposing appearance. The walls vary from sixteen to thirty-six inches in thickness, and—whatis a Botlosable improve- ment--aremade hollow. This mode of constriction ; sa many edvantages over solid walle. First, from the same quantity of bricks a much greater amount of strength is secured: secondly, a perfect system © ventilation {roro all parts of the building is made practicable: thirdly, dampness is excluaed from the inmer walle, witich not only promotes health and comfort, bat by allowing the interior plastering to Ve laid directly upon the bricks, without the uso of wooden furrs and lath, seoures the building ogainst fire and vermin, and adds very decidedly to the musical qualities of the main room.

Scott from the hands of the committed Seo. Fe. -aweyivania and Obio terminated ~-v BGM Bpict last evening, and a very warm recop- tion was extended to him upon his arrival by the citizens of this portion of Kentucky. Considerable excitement, indeed, has marked his line of march through the interior of the two former States, and every little village bas turned out its scores, and every oity ita hundreds, to meet him. It would, however, be a very hazardous calculation to reckon upon the gain of a single vote, in addition to those which would certainly have been cast for bim, in consequence of his present trip, since those who have been called together are mostly the working whigs of the various districts, the women, who are not yet voters, and the children. You have been partially advised by telegraph of the movements of tbe Geveral since he left Cleveland for Kentucky. He went by railroad to Columbus, moetiog small pumbers of persons at the various stations along the route, addressing afew words to the different arsembleges wherever the train stopped At Columbus be was received with hospitality, and was compelled to address a meeting on the evening of his arrival, in the hall of the Neil House. This, you may imagioe, was very trying to the old General, who is no ora- ter, and to whom the delivery of a set address is a | task of no common magnitude. However. what ho lacks ag a speaker he makes up as a politici: for | he kisses. women, and even dirty nosed children, | with true congressional zeal, and with an affecta- | tion of complacency really astonishing to euch as are aware of his natural aristocratic notions, and his horror of anything plebeian. Indeed, the affair is | altegether well managed. General Lawson trav@s | in company with Scott, and his thin, spare form, | | contrasts well with the burly figure of the comman- | der-in-chief, and sets it off to advantage. From Columbus, Scott proceeded by stage to Ohilli- cothe, where a fair number of citizens areembled to greet him, and from thence, after a night's rest, to | Portsmouth, onthe Obio. At this place, which is ina | heavy whig county, (Scioto,) he remained overnight, | and wasentertained at the house of a private citizen | | where a party chanced to be on the books. A depu- | tation of Backeyes accompanied himon the boat the | following morning (Friday) to this place, where be | was received, as you have been advised by tele- | graph, in @ spirited manner. The town, as the | fos approached it, presented really a very pleas- | ing appearanee Nounrerous bonfires blazed from the varions eminences behind the | along the shore, lighting up the soy er | with much brilliancy, and set of admirably by the | | dark back- ground of the forest covered hills of Kea- | tucky. The buildings along the entire street front- | ing on the river were also illuminated, and belped to enliven the really impoaing scene. As the boat | | neared the shore, the cannons were fired, the beils | | were rang, and all the usual, methods of creating which bad accompanied him fron Lexington, The Scott Guards of Georgetown, and the Governor's Guards of Frankfort, were on the ground, and admirable order waa observed. The line was then formed and marched to the Capitol. Generals Scott and Wool, accompauied by the commute tee, ascended the steps— When the Hon. James Manian spoke as follows: General Scott and General Wool—In ascordanee with an act of Congress imposing upon you the important dat of selecting a site for an atyium for infirm and disable soldiers, you have visited this State.

Fatal as that day vas to our people the survivors perse- vered. and finally drove the savages to the FargWest, and now you behold a prorperous country, which alittle more than bi century ago wes @ vast wilderness.
