Atretet to Swixpe THE OxNTRAL National BayK.—* Yesterday afternoon a genteel appearing Frenchman, twenty-eight years of age, named Edward Morcercau, appeared at the Central National Bank, Broadway, and presented to Mr, Charles E. Bogert a check for $780, purporting to have been drawn by Mesers. C. H. Murray & Co, by Samuel Swan, their attorney, on the First Ne- tional Bank of Jersey City, and made payable to the order of C. H. Murray & Co. . Bogert, on closely scrotipizing the check, discovered it to be a forgery, and detained Mercereau until officer McSally, of the Sixth precinet, arrived and.took him into custody. Morcerean was taken before Justice Dowling, where Mr. Bogert ap- peared and made an affidavit against him. ‘Samuel Swan, of 169 West Fourteenth street, attorney for Messra. C. H Murray & Co., testified that the check wasa forgery. ‘The magistrate committed the accused to the Tombs for Mercereau, who lives at 118 Prince street, says that the gentleman for whom he wasemployed guve him the chi and sent bim to the oank with it, Reoxiaes Driveec wx Fieve Avenve.—Late on Monday afternoon a man named Robert McDonald was out sleighing, and in passing through Fifth avenue reined his horse up beside one driven by another gentleman.

An officer of the Twenty-ffth precinct cautioned the reck- less driver to be more careful, when he replied that he war ‘bound to go through at all hazards.” McDonald was then arrested, end after lodging over night in the station house was taken before Justice Dowling, who fined him $10. The money was paid and MeDouald dis- charged. ‘RURBLTY TO Horses.—Captain Petty, of the Fifth pre- yesterday afterneon arrested Patrick Ferrell, driver on the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad line, for crnelty to animals, The Cay wears tbat Farrell was driving tour horses attached toa car overloaded with pas. sengers; that be lashed the horses in an unmerciful and in violation of Jaw.

COURT OF APPEALS—-SEPTEMBER TEAM, i865. , Regarding the Legal Remedies of porati Against Taxation on Stock and Deposited Securities. ‘The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, app-lante, 8 the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of New York, respondenis.—These actions were instituted to test the liability of these plaintiffs to be taxed on the eum of $100,000 deposited by them with the Comptroller of this State. The plaintiffs are a corporation organized under the !aws of the State of New Jersey for the busi- ness of life insurance, They had an office in the city of New York, and an agent there for the transaction of such business, Byan act of the Legislature of this ‘State, passed in 1851 {omen 95), all companies ing the business of life insurance within this State were required to deposit with the Comptroller of this State $100,000 in public stocks or ‘The Comptrolier was to hold such stocks, bonds and mortgages as se curity for the policy holders (sections 1 and 2). Under the provisions 66 is act these plaintiffs de} with the Comptrolier of this State $100,000; and this sum ean Dest Sevoaad. to toe pascamnens tate of the city of soe mee personal 3 thereon $1,383, and the defendants, or some of them, were pro- to correct the same. The above entitled action was im the Superior Court of the city of New York. The complaint ‘set out the foregoing facts and claimed that the said tax was erroneous and unlawful, and should be remitted or corrected. It also set forth that the Board of Super- visors had fesued their warrant to the defendant, James Nesbitt, to collect said tax and that he, by virtue thereof, levied upon the property of said tiffs; thatthe of the hen Collected, would be the pro- perty of the defendants, the Mayor, &c., of the city of New York. The complaint prayed that the defendants might be enjoined from collecting the tax, or from in- terfering with the propert levied ‘on; and that the court would adjudge that the Yetendants ‘be restrained from collecting or receiving the same, or for such further or other relief, or both,.as might be just. The defendants demurred to the complaint, en the ground that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Judgment was given for the defendants, dismissing the complaint with costs, and this judgment was affirmed at the general term, and the plaintiffs now appeal to this court, ‘The second above entitled action was commenced in the Supreme Court, and the complaint set out an assess- ment in the same manver and an imposition of a tax thereon in the sum of $1,556 44, for thé year 1867, and otherwise contained the same facts and same prayer as the complaint in the Superior Court. ‘The demurrer thereto gfounds; first, that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction of the subject of the action; second, that said court could not review by complaint and {junction the proceedings of subordinate tribunals created by and acting under e@ statute and clothed with the exorcise of poli powers; third, that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute acause of action. Judgment was given for the defend- ante on the demurrer, and the same was affirmed at the General Term, and the plaintiffs now appeal to this court. A. C. Bradley, of counsel for the appellants; R O'Gorman and A. R. Lawrence for the respondents. ‘OPINION. NARD, Justice. —The question presented in this case bas been passed upon by this court adversely to the plaintiffs, (14.N, Y. R. 584; Heywood vs. city of Buf- faio,) Assume, as the complaint alleges, that the assess- ment is illegal, the plaintiffs have or had at least two complete remedies at law. The assessment micht have been reviewed and corrected by certiorari, or have been stricken from the roll by mandamus, These remedies are adequate for the plaintiffs’ relief, ae there is abund- ant authority to show, cited by the learned counsel for the respondents. Where there are such remedies, fully adequate, the aid of a Coart of Equity cannot be in- voked. The case principally retied on by the counsel for the appellants to maintain these actions was decided in 1863, since the judgments were rendered in the courts delow, and is reported in 26 N. ¥. R., 303, the People vs. the New England Mutual Life Insurance Compan: That case was submitted on a statement of facts, agreed on by the respective parties under § 372 of tbe Code. In the court below the tax was held to be legal, and judgment was rendered againet the company for the recovery of the amount. Upon an appeal to this court that judgment was reversed and the assessment heid to be illegal. No obejction was raised to the determination of the question; on the contrary Doth parties asked the determination of the legality of the tax. Ip the case at bar the objection is specifically raised, based upon decisions of this court, that a court of equity will not la The lants cannot be alded by the decision in 26 N. Y. R. without overturning Lab anthority in this oe = nN respect soconsistent with that decision. It held by this court that the act of 1863 (Sees, L. ch. 463) for the ‘tion of Life Insurance Companies, aud in relation to the agencies of foreign com} repeals 80 much of chapter 51 of laws of 1851 as required the deposit by foreign companies of $100,000 with the Comp- troller; but it is nonecessary to go into the merits of this q ipasmoch as it appears from the decisions that no can be administered in ity where Temmedies at law are adequate for the attainment of jns- tice. judgment appealed from musi be affirmed SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM.

As if in contrast to the atmospheric condition of the day previous, dull, dreary and dismal as it was, “Old Sol’? made his appearance at an early hour yesterday, and shedding his benignant rays upon the snow covered streets and housetops of old Gotham, now fully mantled in the livery of winter, caused the crisp white covering to be gradually transformed into the most disagreeable condition of unmitigated slush. Bright, fleecy clouds ac- companied the god of day in bis diurnal mission, and the icy pendants that hung from the eaves, fringed awn- ings, or suspended from the skeleton arms of the now leafless trees or telegraph poles, all draped with coverlets of snow, acknowled, his influence, and drop, drop, drop fell the sidewalks, like improvised and tardy shower sprinkling wayfarers as they passed be- neath. A thawenot rapid, rendered walking everything but agreeable. ‘The SIDEWALKS were in some of the thoroughfares comparatively clean, Dut taken generally the attempts to free them of the aceumulations could scarcely be considered alto- gether successful. In some instances the snowbanks which lined the sidewalks in many of the principal thoroughfares presented the ap} ot hastily thrown up Dreastworks, in which sallyports were cut at different — it or in front of many of the stores. Between evading a laving from dripping awnings, feet wetting from Innomerabie pools of ‘litay snow water, and the danger of having one’s understanding carried from under him by too rapid locomotion on the treach- erous ice which covered pavements and flags, pedeatri- anism yesterday, to say the least of it, was a decided ‘THE STREETS, which previous to the storm were {un a most disgracefal condition, and for atime hid their filth beneath the covering of snow, are again beginning to exhibit them- selves in all their disgustingly dirty details. Many of the streets in the lower wards are eo completely blocked up that traffic through them is entirely cut of. The snow shoveled the sidewall is thrown dnto the middle of the street; garbage boxes, previously ‘filed, are rendered useless, and housekeepers scatter the refuse indiscriminately over the streets; culverts have become choked ; street corners and crossings are not un- froquently covered with half-melted snow, impassable to man or beast, and which oftentimes calls forth ‘a malediction more forcible than For days past the Second Avenue Railroad Company has hada number of men and carts employed at clearing its line and. route, and as if the avenue was not already sufficiently blockaded by cobble pavement stones on the sidewalks, the gathered snow ie heaped up at the junction of Second avenue and Fast Houston street to the height of eight or ten feet, effectually preventing all transitory traffic, and affording a prolific scource of atnasement to youngsters who, provided with sleds, soap boxes and stools, course down the sloping sides of this temporary snow hill. ©n Broadway, the siages, notwithstanding the assistance of additional horses, travel with difficulty and accidents are frequent.

SOUTN ‘The steamship South America, Captain Tinklepangh, arrived yesterday morning, from Rio Janeiro Dec. 25. ‘The Purser will accept our thanks for the prompt for- warding of our files and despatches. In Paraguay no fighting had occurred except some ar- tillery exchanges, Two Brazilian vessels had entered Lake Piris and bombarded the extreme right of the Paraguayan army, Nearly five hundred troops aud sea- men had been despatched to the Paraguay. A discovery of rich gold and diamond washings in Bahia had been made, The Peruvian papers are very hostile in their tone towards Brazil, and it is said a small body of troops has been sent to the frontier to. guard against aggressions, A mulatto slave had carried off the medal for sculpture m the provincial exposition, His statue was Cupid, He also received letters of manumissi on. ‘The keels of five monitors have been laid on the Tha das Cobras, their construction was formally inaugurated by the Emperor, Long continued rains had done much damage to the roads and railways of the empire. ‘Two hundred immigrants had arrived from New York, and four hundred more were expected. Although they ‘were hospitably received, complaints were made of the fact that those that had arrived were not agriculturists, which is contrary to the stipulations botweeu the com. pany and the government. The collection of troops by draft and subscription in the provinces was progressing with tolerable succoss. The cotton crop promises an increase, The United States steamer Juniata, Captain Almy, and the steamer Mohican, Commander Simpson, were at Rio Janciro December 25, All well.

As it was the first submarine telegraph in South America, and the first of any kind in- tended for commercial purposes, 1t was a really import- antevent. As far as] know, it was the first time in all the world where two tables were kept informed of each otber’s toasts and speeches, where toasts were reported one hundred and fifty miles away and called out rounds of applause "at so great a distance at the same moment. Yesterday the arrival of the English mat) was telegraphed from Montevideo, Americans were anxious to hear the news of the elections in the United States, but we had to wait twenty-four hours for that news. WARMONY AND UNITY OF PURPOSE AMONG THE PARAGUAYANB. The Paraguayan war goes on slowly, but its conse- quences are coming fast enough. It is erecting into im- portance that little garden of barbarism, and Lopez can- not fail to bear in future a prominence that he never had before, The prowess of the Paraguayan soldiery, also, was a thing not imagined. But they are maintaining a soldierly character not surpassed by tbat of any army in the world. Lopez has nothing to lose, for he cannot part with any of bis river bound territory. He does not use money to carry on the war, for they all live like a large family, and the patriarch carries the purse, but has no need to pay his children for their work, and they feed themselves, They are almost idolatrously attached to him and they are singularly unanimous in all the meas- ‘ures proposed by bim. For the last five months there bave been three Para- ghayans travelling through every part of that country as spiex No efforts were spared by them to corrapt efficers apd demoralize soldiers, and yet #0 cautious were they that they passed safely. They have recently returned, and they tel! a story of most marvellous adventures. It is said as the fruit of their mission that two hundred ‘men, not yet connected with the army, are enrolled as rebels, and are gathering additional forces.

Since the sailing of the French packet we have had an arrival from headquarters bringing dates to Decem- ber 8, The report of a battle on December 4 proved in- correct. The great floods had invaded the allied camps at Tuyuty, and neafly drowned out all in them. The most active preparations were going on for a battle. Marquis Caxias had received orders to move on Forts Curupaity and Humaita without delay, and it is said he intends to obey at all hazards. THE STATR OF DEFENCE of these two forts is alike, Chains are placed across the channel under the water; sunken schooners impede the channel; immense batteries are so placed as to rake the river for a great distance, and some of these are well covered, on a level with the water, and others on the sides and summit of a hill. Four hours’ bombardment at Curupaity produced no effect on the fort, and the tron- ciads hauled off to repair, These forts are also 80 de- fended landwards that land force can do but little against them, They are planned for such #-career at was Fort Fisher, but on the suppostion that in these waters there are no monitors and no invulnerable iron- clads. INTENSE HEAT OF THE SRASOW, The heat at this season is awful, and provisions are less abundant. The cattle are not tat and are overdriven, and the flesh soon taints under a scorching sun in damp air. ‘The slow progress of the war has sent down Argentine and Brazilian bonds in London; and for months these two governinents have desired to make a foreign loan; Dut there is no money in Europe ready for waste in this ‘war except at roinous rates, ‘The Brazilians have withdrawn their hospitals from Cornentes, and have established them at am island near the mouth of the river Paraguay, Cerrito, This is wise, ‘On the receipt of the news of a revolution at Mendoza, President be lender est hesitated ae remaining at tis or going goon determined to remain in camp, and General Pau- nero, of the Firat army ha wl ‘was sent, The forces of the rebels do not exceed twelve hundred, and are poorly armed, But the country is so drained of men that the recruits that can be gathered for ite suppression are few and far between, Still, there is not much trouble anti- cipated. ‘The last French packet took seventy-four cases of goods forexhibition at the Paris Fair of 1867 from the Argentine republic.
