Bot houses by concurrent resolution adjourned to- day until the afternoon of Tuesday next.

PETER MITCUKLL’S IDEA. Peter Mitchell came forward with a bill to regulate the practice of medicine und surgery in New York city, und it looks good sort of bill, as iu requires all physicians and surgeons to register their names and residences und the pumes of the col- leges from which they obtaised their diplomas with the Board of Health of New York city or with the clerk of the county where they reside, aud they mast also obtain certificates trom the Board of Censors of a chartered medical socicty, and a faiiure to comply with these preliminaries 13 0 be considered u misde- meanor., If this bill of Mitcholi’s willtend in any de- gree to suppress or wipe out tbe numerous frauds who, under the name of physicians, disgrace the pro- Jession aud do much misehiet, it will wot be intro- duced in vain.

COLLRCTION OF TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Senator Woodin after the executive session intro- duced a bill relative to the collectio: of taxes. It provides that a writ of certiorart may be allowed by the Supremo Court to review any assess- ment of real or personal property, and tw order a - sessment OF correction of assessment, The writ 18 to be applied for within fifteen days aiter the assessment roll has been completed, and in no event ts to stay the proceedings of assessors or the colicction of any tux “unless the Court allowing the saime so direct.” If a New or corrected assessment 1s allowed by the Court it shail have the same force as 11 made within the timo originally limited by jaw for making such assessment.
