ErIORLY IMPORTANT RELATIVE TO TILE =Tex Lew.—The following* important communi cation, received by J. Fletcher Budd, assessor or the Third district, from Chief Commissioner Boutwell, explains itself : T.RBASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASIIINGTON, December 11, 1862. Sin: Mr. B. S. Walker, of the Girard Finishing Works, in your district, has submitted to this office a statement of the nature of the business in which lie -is engaged, by which it appears that the goods, finished by him are not his property, but that they belong to the manufacturers thereof, and that his business consists merely in dressing, refolding, and putting them in cases ready for the market. You will perceive by' section '76 of the excise law (page '72) that -it is provided,. "that on all cloths dyed, printed, bleached; manufactured into other fa brics, or otherwise prepared, on which a duty or lax shall ' have been paid before tb.e same were so dyed, printed, bleached, manufactured, or prepared, the said duty or tax shall be assessed only on the in creased value thereof." By this provision you will seethat for the work done upon the goods by Mr, IValker, they are subject to tax on:y on their value when finished, over their value when they left the manufacturer's and came into his hands. (See Post script.) The following regulation has been issued by, this office, in regard- to manufacturers and ern- OA ) part thereof, and employs another party to manu facture, make, or finish the goods, wares, and mer chandise, or articles, paying or promising to pay therefor, and receiving the goods, wares, and mer chandise, or articles, whether the parties are in the same or in different places, the party so employed may not eV required to' 'lnv the tax on the value thereof. 'Provided, Tbat at the request of the assessor or assist ant: assessor, the party emptoyed shall make . out a list, subscribed and sworn, which list shall state the number or quality of the goods, wares, and merchandise. or articles manufactured, made, or fin ished during each month, as may be required by law in each case, and, as near as may be, the value thereof, together with the name and usual place of business of the party for whom the labor is performed. If the parties have their usual place of business in the same district where the list is made out, then the tax 'due thereon shall be- assessed to the party for whom the labor is performed. But if the parties have their usual I)lftee of business in different dis tricts, then the assessor receiving such list shall transmit it to the assessor of the district wherein the party for whom the labor is performed has his usual place of business, to the end that the tax due on such list maybe paid by such party." By this regu lation you will see that Mr. Walker, not being the owner of the goods,'but simply all employee of the owner, is not liable 'for the tax which may be as sessetttlierbon, but that he must make monthly re turn of the amount and value of the goods finished by him, to the end that the tax thereon may be paid by , the owner thereof. Very respectfully, GEO. S. BOUTWELL, Commissioner. To J. FETCHER BUDD, Third District U. S. Asses sori Philadelphia, Pa. will notice that, if the tax has not been paid on the goods before they were so finished, then the tax is to be paid on their fiat value ; but if the tax was paid previous to finishing, then only on the increased value; in either case the tax is to tie paid by the owner of the goods, according to the foregoing regulations. G. S. B. Commissioner. BONDED GOODS BECEITED.—The follow ing are the goods received at the United States bonded stores, Front end Lombard, from January Ist to December Ist, 12: The sugars amounted to 9 1,990 . 1 hds., 1,022 tierces, 32L bbis., 1,252 boxes; liquors, 815 Casks ; coffee, 3,710 bags ; dry goods, 569 packages; cocoa, 642 bags. While these stores re ceive alFicinds of imported goods in bond, still they are the only stores in this port which receive bonded sugars. At various times during the year the ha portation of sugar was so large that the Patterson block was inadequate to hold all that arrived. S. & W. Welsh, and others, were therefore compelled to bond private stores to receive their own importa tions. A vast lot of sugars was imported and de livered by the custom house inspectors also, on cash permits, on the wharf. The present, we learn, has been the largest sugar season in this port for many years. At the request of Collector Thomas, the Secretary of the Treasury has permitted the stores to be used by the U. S. Marshal for the.warehousing apprized cargoes, several of which are now stored therein awaiting the action of the court. The like permis sion has been accorded also to the medical depart ment for the storing of army drugs, a large quantity of which is now on hand. The free sections of the warehouse have been rented by. New Yorkers, who have stored many thousand barrels of apples therein, prior to their shipment for New Orleans and other Southern points. Taking into consideration the state.of the country, the operations of this branch of the Government service, during the past year, have been most gTatifying. If the coming year is the re cipient of the same success, the Government will have no seriotts cause of complaint. RECENT DECISIONS UNDER TILE TAX LAW.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that persons who make ladies' dresses to order are not to be considered as manufacturers under the tax act. Millers are to pay licenses as wholesale or retail dealers according to the manner in which they make sales. ' . • °Wien carding machines, doing customer work for a community, are not considered manufacturers, and therefore are not required to take out. license. Farmers slaughtering a beef, and selling a part thereof, must pay a duty of thirty cents if the beef exceeds eighteen months old, and five cents if under eighteen months. Private boarding houses, known and conducted as such, need no license. Farmers buying calves and keeping the same until grown are not considered cattle brokers, and are not required to take license as such. Any person slaughtering animals, and selling the same, be they many or few, are auldect to the tax. Allman to wholesale liquors confers no authority upon the paity holding such license, to retail liquor. Nor does a Hemet() sell liquor authorize the sale of any other kind of merchandise. A farmer who sells - the •products of his own farm by travelling from house to .house is not a pettier. The milk of a farmer's cows is considered as among the products of his farm, and no license is required for the sale thereof. A person other than a farmer who•keeps cows and makes the sale of milk an occu. ration is not embraced in the above ruling, and will. be required to take a license. THE EXPEISDITURES OF COUNCILS.—The appropriation: of $22,150 made to the clerks of Coun cils for the current year will, probably, be all ex pended on the Ist of January. The municipal ex ,- penses of the past year have been very large, grow ing out of• the national difficulties. Soldiers have been buried at the public expense, swords have been presented td - distinguiahmsonerals, and testimonials costly and untqUe, have at various--uma - Veiii pre muted, involving considerable outlay. The funeral of General Smith cost the city, about $5OO, anda similar sum for the reception of General Corcoran. Other expenses of a like character have been in curred during the year. The repairs authorized by the. Committee on City Property-to Independence Square cost nearly $5,000. The supper to the Le gislatUre, at the Continental, on the 22d of February, entailed an expense of about $2,000. A. debt of $57,000 matured and was paid during the year. In 1354 tlie clerks. of Councils expended the sum of $120,000, and this when there were no great improve ments in any part of the pity. To the items of "in cidentals," in the appropriation of last year, the sum of $3,350 was credited, and the sum of $3,234.95 expended. The amount of extra appropriations made to the various Departments during the year is about 0270,000. - UNITED STATES STEAM SLOOP JUNIATA. —The final departure of this ship will be delayed for a few days, in : order to replace some parts of her machinery which were broken on the trial trip.

NEW RAILROAD LOAR%-;- . .We learn that the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, propose to issue a consolidated loan of $5,000,000, to take the place of their loans falling due in 1863, '64, 65, 66, 67, and 1870. It will be secured by mortgage on all the works of the companies, and will bear six per cent. interest. It is also provided in tha.mortgage that the English debt of about $2,000,000, now in the course of liquidation by a sinking fund, shall be completely - paid off by the year 1880, when this mort gage shall become the first lien on property which now yields annually a net income of a quarter of the whole amount of the mortgage. ----- - -- The companies-arc pruyarecrto — rigotiate for the exchange of the bonds of the Consolidated Loan for thoSe falling due in 1863 and 1864, or for the purchase of the latter. CONTROLLERS OF THE PUBLIC. SCHOOLS. —An adjourned meeting of the Board of School Controllers will be held to-morrow afternoon. The special business will be the consideration of the complaint against the : management of the 'Girls' High School, presented at the last meeting in a writ ten memorial signed by all the principals of theGiriss Grammar Schools. The subject is exciting conside rable attention in certain circles, and it is expected that the Controllers will authorize a thorough in estigation of the matter in dispute, The proposi-:. thin to reinstate geography into the list of home studies will also be considered: DEMAND FOR POSTAGE CITERENCY—The scarcity of small change still renders the demand for postage currency unabated. As the demand is mush greater than the supply at the present rate of pro duction, the Government win not be able to supply the demand within a year. When it is taken into 'consideration that only $4,000,000' worth has been Issued, thus leaving $36,000,000 more to be issued, someidea can be formed of the immense amount of small change which has been withdrawn from circu lation, and the necessity for prompt delivery of the remainder of the currency. PHILADELPHIA SUBSTITUTES.—The fol lowing-named Philadelphians were accepted as sub- stitutes at Camp Bradford ; near Baltithore, - on Mon day last : George Davis and John McLaughlin, for two drafted residenti of Anne Atunifel county; Joseph Quigley, William ..Neill, Benjamin Harris, George Wheeler, John Hughes, and William Smith, for drafted residents of Montgomery county. NAVIGATION. —The Delaware canal was Irozen up so firmly the early part of last week that :boatmen despaired of getting through with their 'last loads for the season. The mild weather, how ever, softened the ice, so that the ice-breakers could *break it up, and navig - ation was resumed on Sa •turday. Navigation has also been resumed on - the Lehigh canal, where the Ice at some places was about six inches thick. The Delaware river is clear of ice.' TAX IiECEIFTB.—The receipts from taxes this year will probably amount to over two million dollars—a larger amount than in any former period in the history of the city. Last year the receipts :amounted to $428,990 89, and in" 1860 to $67,716 18. 'COMMENCED Womc.—The work of laying the rails on the Broad-street Railroad has been com menced. The traok from Callowhill street to Girard avenue will be laid in the centre of the street.

Mr.' J.H.. Michener presided, and T. • B. Peterson, Esq., oflbred the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to : . Whereas, The Navy Yard, Broad-street, and Fair mount Passenger Railway Company have. secured a charter, purporting to authorize the construction of a passenger railroad, to commence at the corner of 'Broad 'find Federal streets, thence east to Front street, thence south to Wharton street, thence west to Broad street, thence up Broad to Spring Garden street, thence west out Spring Garden to Fair mount ; to be built as all other passenger railways are built in this city ; and whereas, an attempt is now being made• to by a single track, with three rails, from the corner of Broad and Prime streets, up Broad street to Girard avenue and thence down Girard;avenue, to with other streets, so as to connect the deot of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad, in Kensington, with the depot of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad at Broad and Prime, for the express purpose of transporting passengers and freight in large, eight wheeled cars, through Philadelphia without change of cars; a course of travel which would prove de structive to the interest of property owners on Broad street and Girard avenue, and would prove to be as great a nuisance as the long mule: teams on Market street: therefore, Resolved,. That we approve of the course of the committee in applying to court for an injunction • against the construction of the road, and that they be instructed to use all legal and honorable means to prevent the desecration of Broad street, the finest avenue in the county, for the benefit of a few specu lators. Raolvid, That a ' committee of ten be appointed to confer with a proper committee of Councils upon the subject, ,and adopt such other measures as will protect the tax-payers on Broad street, and other portions of the proposed line, from injury and cer tain depreciation of the value of their property, which would inevitably ensue upon the construc tion of the proposed railroad. The chairman appointed the following committee : Dr. David- Jayne, Amos Ellie H. N. Fitzgerald, Richard Peterson, Theodore H. Vetterlein, John H. Michener, T. B. Peterson, Amos R. Little, Thos: Smith; and Mr. Fox, when, on, motion, the meeting adjourned. ARRIVAL OF AN UNSEAWORTHY VESSEL, WITH HER. CHEW, AT THIS PORT.--A vessel known as the Niagara, and which formed a part of General Banks , expedition, put into this port on Monday night, and is now lying at the navy yard. This ves sel is not the famous frigate Niagara. of ocean-tele graph notoriety, bu t a vessel which was built in 1844 for service on Lake Ontario. She has no made, and her upper works are exceedingly light, and one ,111-I the men wouldylvave y shelter.srvei ! them intothe ocean But this is not the worst. The cross-timbers of the vessel are, it is . said,. rotten through and through, being a mass of black rot. The crew had a smooth sail from New York, which port they left on Saturday, and yet the captain was obliged to put the vessel inside the De laware breakwater to pump her out. She also took fire in the daytime, and a sea drove away her plank ing and gangway. The officers of the regiment instituted a thorou s gh investigation, and arrived at the conclusion that the boat was totally unfit for sea, and that the wisest course was to put into the nearest port and there await orders. There was no mutiny on board, but out of all the large number of old salts on the vessel, who belong to the regiment, there is not one but what pronouncea the steamer unfit even to carry freight. The lieutenant colonel has gone to New York to consult with Government officials there. The following is the roster of the regiment : Colonel, C. P. Messer, Haverhill. Lieutenant colonel, J. W. Lock, South Reading. Major, John Hodges, Salem. Surgeon, Wm. Cogswell,Eradford. Adjutant, H. A. Wentworth South Reading. Quartermaster, H. Degan, Malden. Chaplain, R. Hassale, Haverhill. . .

Twomen, calling themselves'William Smith and Philip. H. Hargrave, were arraignedbeforeAlflerman Beitler yesterday afternoon, at the Central Station; on the charge .of larceny. The following evidence was elicited at the hearing, which will be found in teresting to everybody, principally storekeepers, and .place them bn their guard against . such- sharp prac tice. We may here state thati upon being arrested in Comptroller street, -on Monday' evening, by OfiF cer Bell, of Limit. Goldey's division, they became very indignant indeed. One of thern,pulled out his Card and pencil, and demanded the name and num ber of the officer, threatening to report him in the morning to Mayor Henry. The officer, being backed up by a couple of storekeepers, took the prisoners to the Third-district : -station, .where they were de tained for a hearing. • , The dodge, practised by these men, was rife about twenty years since. It war-then practised with a. five-dollar note, and a lone female attendant of a store was generally selected as the person to be vie-. timized. To practise the game, which in police language is known as CI finfaniain&," requires con siderable skill. The operator must possess the qualities of a gentleman—must mimic indignation to perfection, as occasion may require. Both these qualities areossessed by the accused. • Wm. T.

I counted out ten dol lars in small notes, and one of the men picked them Up and said he wanted bankable money ; I thought he'd better go to a bank and get it ; picked up my money and threw it, back into the drawer, and at night found my account $5 short;'the prisoners came into my store yesterday on the same business, but they got no change ; they went to other stores in the neighborhood, and I went after them to put my neighbors on their guard. :A. M. Park, a son of the preceding witness, tes tified as to the identification of the parties who paid the store a visit last month. .•. . The defendants `were committed in default of $2,600 each answer at court. . A Man Takes a Coat. A colored man rejoicing irithe high-sounding name of Nathaniel Alonzo Bishop, was arraigned before Alderman Bottler yesterday, on the charge of steal ing a coat, the propprty of Michael Asher. It was in evidence that the. owner keeps a store in South street, near. Sixth. It was open on last Sunday eve ning, and while the family were in the back room, 'Nathaniel walked into the store, helped llimself to the coat, and escaped with it. He was contmitted to answer. Prairie Hens. The police yesterday arrested six young men, alleged to belong to a disreputable gang calling themselves "Prairie. Hens." They infest the north western part of the city,' on - the borders 'or the Schuylkill, and commit various unlawful acts. One of the party was liberated . from prison a few days since, and on Monday night they gave him a sort of ovation. They had plenty of .money.- It is thought they raised the fund under pretence of collecting it for ambulances for the firemen. On the person of :one of themwas found a - petition bearing.the names of a number of prominent citizens as having sub scribed various sums ranging from five to' ten dol lars. The following mined parties have subscribed. They are requested to call at the Central Station, this morning, for the identification of the prisoners : C. J. Wolbert, Win. B.

Common Picas —Judges Thompson - and - Allison. THE MAIs.:HAMIIS THE DUFFIELD CASE—REARING: The case of Thomas J.- Duffield vs. Thomas F. Adams, et al., members of the Common Council of this city, was' called up.yesterday morning. The. question raised is, as to whether a majority of the members of Council possess • the power to declare the seat of a member vacant without a regular trial on cause shown. By resolution of the defendants, mem bers of Common Council, passed Decembef4th;. the seat of Mr. Duffield was declared vacant, the alleged cause being that he was an officer of the United States. This resolution was passed in his absence, and without any notice to him, or any opportunity_ afforded him tb'show cause against it. _This-avAmmo— sensitivenesa_oi.the.....4.-kiru, mica recent acquire perhaps, be best accounted for by •the,fact that, if sustained the party which was de feated at the polls last October, by a majority of 3000, votes, will secure the rule of the city during the next fiscal year.. It is not likely, however, that it will succeed, and the action of the court yester day, in disposing of the motion to quash the writ of mandamus, issued on Saturday, was an , effectual extinguisher of the high hopes of many. Frederick :C. Brewster, Esq., 'called - up the. case yesterday morning, stating that proper service of the writ had been made, and that the petitioner was ready to go on. Henry M. Phillips, . Esq., - for the respondents, stated that there had been a motion made to quash' the writ, for the reason that there was nothing con tained in the suggestion justifying the writ; and that it contained matters which show, to.the court that it ought not to entertain 'jurisdiction to judge of the qualifitations'of a member of Councils. He referred to the Consolidation act vesting the .legislative power of the city in the Select and Com mon Councils. providing that the qualifications of members of Councils should be the same as are re quired for members of the Senate and House of Re presentatives oMhis State, and that Councils should in like manner as the Legislature judge and deter mine the qualifications .of Members.'' He then contended, at great length, the judging of the qualifi cations of members was a legislative act over which neither the judiciary nor the Executive could exer cise the slightest control, or review such action. His 'argument was a very _elaborate and skilful one, taking the broad ground throughout that Councils alone could determine the question of ' qualification, and that, no matter in what form they. did so. determine, it was not in the power of the courts to interfere, and that their responsibility was solely to the people: ' ' • • Mr. Phillips was followed by David T. Sellers, Esq., for Mr. Duffield. In noticing the motion to quash he stated that the defendants, in making it, admitted the facts set forth in the suggestion as true. As to the point raised he contended that power 'to judge of the qualification of Members given to Coun cils was simply a power to try the case of a contested election. It was in the section which applies to the • casesof contested election, and nothing else; that _the right to expel a member rests upon an express constitutional provision, and Councils have no such power ; that as the petitioner was qualified at the time of election, he is qualified for the term for which • he is elected except he should accept an office of a municipal diameter;and lastly, that the petitioner is not , an officer of the United States. Mr. Sellers' argument was a very able, one. He was followed by F. C. Brewster on the same side, and by Geo'. M. Wharton, Esq., in reply. • After a short consultation with Judge Allison, On the conclusion of Mr. Wharton's argument, Judge Thompson said that the court had no difficulty in determining the present motion. The Legislature could not create a municipal corporation beyond the reach of the law, and if they did, it Would be en lin constitutional creation. A. municipal corporation Was as responsible as any otherto the law and came - tinder the control of the courts quite'as fully. This ease. was one, where a member •o( Councils • had been deprived of his office without cause shown, in his absence, and without notice ' to him'; and the court had frequently held, incases of•corporations, where members had been expelled without regard to constitutional requirements, that a mandamus would' lie to restore him. They could-see no reason for an .exception in this case. The motion to quash was ` , accordingly overruled, and the defendants, on ap 'plication of Mr. Phillips, were allowed until 1034 'o'clock this morning to decide whet ter they would file any answer to the writ.
