What Political Events occurred in Rhode Island In 18427 The Tax on Petroleum,—A petition, largely signed by producers, manufacturers, and dealen in petroleum in this city, hac been prepared, to be lent to Congress, praying for tbe imposition of a duty or five cents per gallon upon crude petrole um, to be collected as the wells or place of produc tion, with a drawback of five cents per gallon on refined oil, when exported to foreign countries, Such a duty, they lay, will produce the amount of revenue from this article called for by the Govern ment, and at the same time not piaoe a higher tax than at preaent upon the home consumer. , Ye vents per gallon can he laid upon erode oil and not interfere with its export. Y A tax imposed, aa recommended, would, it la alaimed, operate aa a slight protection to home ma nutaoturea, This would be no moro than aimploiu'- tiee to the manufacturing interest. Some three hundred refineries have been built in the United States, Involving the expenditure of a large amount of money, and much effort and skill to Improve and peifeot the prooeisea of manufacture. The refining aapaolty in tide country la now full; equal to the task of working up the entire produotlon of crude petroleum; and why should they uot be employed in refining the entire portion of the production tent to foreign countries, instead of sending It abroad to furnish employment to the foreign manufacturer! At the present time many or our refineries are idle, which would doubtless be employed were the entire amount of petroleum exported first refined in this country. And ir a still larger tax should be placed upon refined oil, and none upon crude, a majority of our refineries must entirely cease operations, and become Worthless to their owners. in conclusion, urges the argument Si u , bettBr *# *“ Iron at the mines, than "}‘ converted Into spades-, better to tax KJPJ* ?■;to tax it in the • stationer’!

Judge Oadwalader declined to act In the matter because there was nothing before him in the case, except the libel, upon which he could act judicially. None of the evidence taken in the oas»had been submitted to him by the District Attorney, After considerable discussion between the court and counsel the case was finally postponed till next Friday.

[Before Mr. Alderman Dourheity.] Larceny of a Watch. A young man, giving the name of George Thomp son, hailing from the northwestern part of the city, was arraigned, yesterday morning, on the charge of the larceny of a watch, the property of Samuel Babb. The evidence developed the following inte resting state or facts: On Sunday evening, as Mr. Babb was walking along Sixth street, near Cherry, he observed defendant in conversation with a couple of females; just as he was about to pass the party, the defendant pushed one of the girls against him; about the same momeat Mr. B&bb felt Ms guatd chain give a sort or jerk, ana at onoe caught hold of the defendant, who had the watch in his hand, having broken it from the ohain. The defendant admitted that he took the watch, but only did it as a joke, as he intended to ask the owner “ what time it was,” so that he might find out that his watch was gone. The alderman replied that he 11 couldn’t see ” the joke, and, therefore, bound defendant over in the sum of $6OO to answer. [Before Mr. Alderman While.] How a Soldier was Robbed. Abram Patterson, one of the V. S. colored troops, hailing from Trenton, New Jersey, arrived in Phila delphia on Saturday night, and found himself In a short lime in the classic neighborhood of Seventh and St, Mary streets. Here he met with a colored man named Wm. Redding, with whom an intimacy sprung up over the exhilarating effeota of five-cent whisky. Redding conducted the son of Mars to the house of Wm, Wousley, at Eightn and Carpenter streets, where several other drinks were indulged in. The landlord, of course, kindly consented to lodge the soldier for the night. He and Redding were shown to a room. On Sunday morning, when Patterson awoke, he found his money, $220, missing, and also his newly-made companion. He subsequently informed Officers Bakerand Wm. Smith of the fact of the robbery, and they at once proceeded to the house of Wonsley. Upon ques tioning the proprietor and his wife, the officers took them into custody, and lodged them in the station house. Yesterday morning they had a hearing. The sum of sGowas found upon the person of JMra. Wonsley, In accounting for it, the said that Mr. Redding had given it to her huaband, and the hus band had given it to her. This money waa in tea dollar notes, Trenton Banking Company, and was identified by Patterson. The husband and wife were both bound over inthesnmof $l,OOO to answer at court, Fully Committed, Littleton Hubert, who waa arraigned a few days since on the charge of enlisting colored soldiers or ganizing outside of the State, had a final hearing before Police Magistrate White yesterday. The law In such eases is probably defective, as there does not seem to be any penalty attached to it. At the requestor the-court authorities, the ease was re turned to tbe (Quarter Session* for final adjudication. Another Arrest. Levi Holmes, charged with being one of the party of four men engaged in robbing the store of the Messrs Dallet on South wharves, was committed yesterday by Police Magistrate White, to answer at the present term of the court. Police Officer Injured. On Sunday evening, as Police Officer George Ben nett was taking a prisoner along the street near Mount Vernon and Sixteenth street, he was struck on the head With a brickbat and seriously injured. He fell insensible from the effects of the blow, and his prisoner escaped. The officer was unable to leave his room yesterday. [Before Mr. Alderman Devlin. 3 Disorderly House.

New Books—lnthe track of vessels bound from this poit and San Fraocbc© lie, what are called on some charts, “ Reed’s Kochs,” on others “Falmouth Shoals,” having been discovered by the U. S. sloop-of war Fal mouth, CaptainßeeJ, in 1860 These rocks lie, accord* lug to the statement of the discoverer, in If. lat. 3714, W. ion. 187 27, and about five days’ sail from San Fran cisco. But, tnongh lying thus directly in the track of vestela bound to that port, it is somewhat remarkable that they have never been teen by others. InISSS. Cant. Baker, of Ihe bark What Cheer, steered directly for the locality named, and ran very dose to tfce spot, if net di rectly over it, without finding any sign of land or shoal Last August the bark Yankee (on which at the time we were), also ran within two or three miles of the spot, without observing any Indications of the shoals. In October, Captain Redfield, of the San Francisco whaler Susan Abigail, reports having observed the rocks about mld-dny, but gives thdr totality eleven miles farther north, and three miles farther west. Now, if. as he itateß. there are only tin feet of water on them, they are very dangerous, and ought to be surveyed by somsGo* vernmenf vessels at once, and the exact position laid down, to prevent shipwrecks. While speaking of shoals. we may suggest an expedi tion, to determine whether the shoal laid down on the Admiralty Charts In N. Ist. 27 40, W. lon 14049, really exists or is only a myth. It Ilea In the track of vessels hound from San Francisco to this port, and it may have been on this or some other unknown shoal that the United States sloop-of-war Levant was lost thTee years ago. —Honolulu Commei'cinl Advertiser..
