Court of Common Pleas President Judge Allison. The Court this morning was engaged with the certiorari list. In France a dead body must be burled within twenty-four hours after decease.and a peti tion has recently been presented to the Senate praying that time should be enlarged to forty eight hours. Cardinal Donnet supported the petition, mentioned several cases of premature interment, and related a story which produced a prolound sensation, A young priest, in the summer ot 1820, fainted In tho pulpit and was given up lor dead. Ho was laid out, examined, and pronounced dead, the Bishop reciting the Be Profundi:) while the coffin was preparing for tbe body. Ail this while, and deep into tho nmht, the "body," though motionless, heard all that was going on, in an agoify of mind impossi ble to describe. At last a friend, known to the "deceased" trom infancy, came in: his voice aroused some dormant power, and next day the corpse was again preaching from the same pulpit. The Biilferer was the venerable Cardiial then telling the tale, and, in spite ot official reeistance, the Senate voted that the petition should be referred to the Minister of tho Interior for nction. The idea of the Frencu authorities is, that as the living and the dead are among the poor forced to remain in the same room, inter ment cannot be delayed. The United States Consul atTobasco, Mexico, reports to the Department ot Stale, under date of January 3, that the sla'u quobl the bellige rents in that section of Mexico Is unchanged; but the Consul is informed that hostilities have been w aged along ihe southern border of the State of Vera Cruzisinoe the issue of the Em peror Maximilian's pioclauiation, which has ld, in many instances, to the massacre of thoss who were so unfortunate as to be taken prisoners by either of the contending parties. The Consul informs tbe department thut in late explorations he has discovered tbe ruins of two ancient cities which have remained unknown since tbe days of the Conquest. The first, from the topogra phy of tne surround int country, tbeAMnsul is led to believe is the same that Cortes occupiel at the time of his invasion of Tobosco. The edifices, although in complete ruins, afford proof and incontestable evidence of the vastnetts and grandeur of the ancieut capital of Tobasco, which belore tbe Conquest was called Clntla. The ruins of the other city are situated in the northeastern portion of the State, nearly oppo site the present city of Lagunado losLermenos, and was known before the Conquest as Xtoola neas; aud the tradition connected wttJi it traces its origin to a period at least 200 yyvrs belore the Christian ra.

Nolan aud others vs. The Board of Assesporeol'the City ot Albany, defendants in error, at the suit nf Adam Van Allen, plnintifl in error, and other cases. The question presented was whether the shares of the stockholders in tho banking aso cintions created under the acts ot Congress which provide for tho crca'ion of national banks can be subjected to taxation by State authorities. Associate Justxe Nelson de livered the, opinion of the Court, holding that, shares held by individuals wero not a part of the capital of a bank, but must be regarded as per sonal property of shareholders, and as such subject to taxation by the 8ate within the pro viFlons of the Act of Congress But that the ludgment of tho Court below must be reversed, on tho ground that there was a discrimina tion between the shares of these banks and the capital stock of the State banks. Chief Justice Chase read a minority opinion, not being able to concur that a State had the power claimed, which was an indirect mode of taxing the national securities, which was not authorized, nor intendea to bo authorized, bV Coneresh. In the cases of Cuttinsr, Flsk, and others, the court hold that a broker isoharge-: able on purchase of securities made on his own account, and for his own benefit, the same as on his commissions when purchasing for others. rHlLADKinilA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES TO-DAf Keported by De Haven & Bra, Mo. 40 S.
