These citizens of the United States are the first ‘who have come to avail themselves of the tant advantages offered by the law in question, will be the first to receive the protection of the Ecu- adorian government in their enterprise.

The points submitted to the court by Messrs. Joseph Blunt and J. Miller, for the appellants, were that the nal property of she pemerne. wae smsoeent at 000 in e year 1853. That the rd of Supervisors leted the assessment roll on the Ist August, 1853, by which a tax was imposed on the badis of that assesament. The Legislature, on the 29th June, 1853, passed a law which took effect on the 19th aa 1863, by which the in- surance company were ubject to the same taxa- tion as if incorporated under the general la) tal of $100,000. Before the Supervisors had their duties the appellants objected to the assessment, and applied to them to reduce it to the sum which they refused todo. Application was then mace to the special term of this court for a mandamus, which was denied, and hence this appeal. The appellants con- tend that the Legislature, by a statute 29th June, 1853, enacted ‘‘that any mutual life insurance company incorporated eee the General In- surance law, on the 10th April, 1849, shall be subject to taxation as if it were incorporated with a capital of $100,000.’ This last law went into effect before the Board of Supervisors made their estimate and completed their rolls. They.were therefore bound to estimate that the personal estate of the insurance company subject to taxation was $100,000, and not $800,000, and not having ,000, lone #0, the action of the board was illegal and without juris iction, the tax exceeding the proper aum to be im- For the respondents, Mr. Dillon, the Corporation Counsel, submitted that the insurance company are tax- able “pom their assets, as their capital stock from which they derive an income or profit.

The persons assured are the corporators—the credits certificates of stock ; the stock is made up from agecumulations, antead of cash capital immediately subscribed and paid. That the assessors of the First ward having jurisdiction of the plaintiffs, their assessment was 9 judicial act, binding and conclusive, until it is reversed; that the Board cf Supervisors had no power to alter the assess- ment roll except in two cases, namely—1. When an incor- porated company showed to their satisfaction that it was not in receipt of any ee or income. (1 Rev. Stat. sec. 9;) or, 2. When the assessors had made an erroneous assessment, which in their judgment was cause for reduction, (Act of 1844, p. 384, see. 2; ». 1850, p. 188, sec. 28.) Upon these two points they act judicially, and their judgment is binding until it is reversed. They must then insert the assessment as mace by the assessors, or as corrected by themselves, £ Rev. Stat. p. 417, sec. 16.) That a mandamus is not the proper remedy to correct judicial errors. The court, under mandamus, can juire inferior tribunals to proceed and act, but cannot dictate what their judg- ment shall be—certiorari performs that office. Mr. Dillon also contended that the act of 1853 has not altered the liability of the appellant, who complain not of the taxation, but of the assessment, which, not being erroneous at the time it was made, the Board’ of Super- visors had no power tocorrect. To require the Super- visors to make this correction, is to make the act of 1853 retrospective, which it is not. The object of the aet wasto put mutual companies incorporated before 1849, on the same the act of 1849. companies are taxable upon their premiums, notes, and accumulations therefrom as capital; and that judgment should, therefore, be affirmed with costs.

There are districts in | California, ll as portions of the plains between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains, that literally swarm with grasshoppers, and in such as- | tonishing numbers that aman cannot place his foot | to the ground while walking there, without crushing great numbers. To the Indian they are a delicacy, | and are pane and eee sr fori in rego A piece of ground issought where they most abound, | in the centre of which an excavation is made, large | and Sep enough to prevent the insect from hop- | ping out when once in. The entire: old and ee male and female, | much of the adjoining grounds as they can, and with | each a green bough in hand, whipping and thrash- i ing on every side, gradually approach the centre, | driving the insects before them in countless multi- tudes, till at last all, or nearly all, are secured in the pit. In the meantime, smaller excavations are made, | answering the purpose of ovens, in which fires are | kindled and kept up till the surrounding earth, for a | short distance, becomes sufficiently heated, together | with a fint stone large enough to cover the oven. The Lory! ine are now taken in coarse after being thoroughly soaked in water for ments, are empticd in the oven and closedin. Ten or fifteen minutes suffice to roast them, when they are taken out and eaten without further propara- | tion, and with much ap, nt relish, or as is some- | times the case, reduced to powder and made into | soup. And having, from curiosity, tasted, not the | soup, but the roast, really if one could but divest | himself of the idea of oyster or a shrimp, with other preparations than | simply roasting, they would not be considered very | bad eating, even by more refined epicures than the Digger Indians. A Very Srranor Case.—About five Moo ago ‘ an old man named John Welch, aged 72 years, in | Richmond county, Ohio, was charged with murder- ing his wife, and was twice tried on the indictment in that county. At the first trial the jury were unable to agree upon a verdict; and upon the secoud he was found guilty of murder in the first degree. He obtained a new trial, and for the purpose of se- curing an re og antl the case was erate Knox county. The Mount Vernon Banner gives the following statement of the cireumstances, as proven last week on the third trial:—The deceased was found in the well of the prisoner, with her skull crushed through the petrus portion of the same; and several of the physicians who testified in the case were of opinion that the injury was done with y blow from a hammer, or some other heavy solid instrament.

M. ‘The stock market was quite active to-day, but prices fell off largely. Cumberland, Nicaragua, Reading“and Erie closed heavy at a decline ranging from one to two per cent. Considerable cash stock was offered, and sellers, at buyers’ option, were satisfied with a small advance. The rapid improvement in certain fancies within the past week or two, has brought out a great deal of stock, and those who came in at low rates have realized. This is no more than might have been antici- pated. It is good policy to secure » profit when you can, and wait for another opportunity to come in again at lower prices. Purchasers of Cumberland at 28 a £0 per cent would be very foolish not to realize at 37 a 39 per cent; and tho other fancy on the list. These -things are so uncertain, and at this particular moment the market is in such an unsettled state, that it would be wire to real ize, evin at a much smaller profit than that named above. The diffienlty with both bulls and bearsis, they 10 not ' { know when {o close up thelr time contracts. Tt is always in the power of dilbér Oke of the other to do it at thoir realized. Now we have an instance of this prculiarlty In Cumbei Coal stock. A great number of Holders— those who would have been glad, a few weeks sines, io have taken thirty five per cent for every share they had —were looking for forty per cent, and had mado up their minds to sell ot that point, In this they havo been éis- appointed. Had they not been quite so grasping, and sold at the highest point reached—thirty nine per cont they would have bagged a good profit and been now at Uberty to come in again at a much lower fizure, and kad o balance to their credit for future operations. This is only another confirmation of what we bave so frequently remarked—that outeidory bily on a rising market, and sell on @ falling one. The bears are in this particular just as bad as the bulls, They do not seem to know where to stop in depressing the fancies. The Tower any stock goes, the lower they think it must go, until the market turns upon them, and the margin in their favor suddenly disappear. Asa general thing speculators in fancy stocks in Wall street do not make so much money as the frequent flactnations in prices would warrant a locker on in believing. It is precarious business at the best, but very atiractive to those who have nothing else to do with their time or money. At the first board to-day, Clevoland and Pittsbarg Rail- read advanced 44 per cent; New York Central Railroad bonds, *{; Delaware and Hodson, 34; Parker: Vein, 34. 1» 38S Michigan Central Railsoad declined % per cont; Roading California, and became entitled to “ extra ,” for which he applied, under the act of Au 31, 1852, | | provided he had received an honorable discharge. | t was beld that, og he had fully complied with his | | firet contract of enlistment, and had a right to an honorable discharge if he had demanded it, his | | failure to complete a subsequent contract did not | deprive him of bis right to gratuity depending upon Railroad, 14; Harlem, \; Nicaragua Transit, 14%; Cam- berlnnd Coal, 1%; Hlinois Central bonds, $4; Canton Co., ‘4g; New York Central Railroad, 3; Erie Railroad, 4. ‘The upward movement in Parker Vein resulted in the sale of nearly five thoutand shares.
