THURSDAY, APRIL', 24, 1851.
Conoert on the Third of May
The "Allentown Brass Band," will give n
complementary concert, for the benefit of Anton
Professor of 1111).le, on Saturday even : .
ing, the 3rd at slay next. ISlr. Ileinicke's term,
for which he agreed to teach the Band, has al
;nest ended, and as soon as it expires he will
leave the place. Fie has been engaged while
here-in-teaching two Bands,and-their-progress
has been astonishing. Indeed we think there
are few Bands in existence, which have made
so great progress in so short n time, and this is
all owing to the excellence of the teacher. Let
there be a full turn out then of the lovers of
good music, and let there be such a crowded
house as will be a testimonial of the value of
hls services, and the respect we entertain for
him'as a musician and man. Programmes will
be published next week.

On Thursday the 3rd of April,.Mr. E. A.
Brown, moVed to irospend the Rules for the*,
purpose of faking up the Bill for the re-charter
of the Easton Bank. A division of the motion
was called, and it was determined by a vote
of 60 ayes and 30 nays, to suspend the Rules,
and by a vote of 52 ayes to 34 nays to take - up
the Bank Bill. Sir. Brown made a favorable
statement of the condition of the Institution, of
its excellent standing in the community, and
the desire of hi. constituents for its re charter.
Mr. Bonham, of Cumberland then got the floor,
and commenced a speech in opposition, in
which he discussed the currency question at
leng`h. He was followed by Mr. Roberts, of
Greene, on the same side of the question. In

the judges of the several courts of the Cotn•

The two prominent reasons which induced the
Executive to withhold his signature, are, that
the bill requires the associate judges of the sev•
oral counties to be "learned in the law,' (which
nem red by an error of the transcribers) and
secondly, that there is a direct conflict between
two of the sections which regulate the time for
holding the courts in several of the counties em,

A ssedsmcnt Law.
The new assessment law of this State, says
Thompson's New York Bank Note Reporter and
Commercial List, compels a fair and full valua
tion of tax4hle property: The following is the
affidavit which every assessor must place to his
nill instead of the evasive certificate heretofore
attached :
11" e, the undersigned, do severally depose and
swear, that we have set dawn in the liiregning
assessment roll, all the real estate, situated in
the (town or ward as the case may be,] accord•
log to our best information, and that with the ex•
coption of those cases in which the value of the
said real eAate has been changed by reason of
proof produced before us, we have estimated the
value of the said real estate, at the sums which
a majority of the assessors have decided to be
the full and true value thereof, and at which they
would appraise the same, in payment of a just
debt due front a solvent debtor; anti also that the '
said assessment roll. contains a true statement
of the aggregate amount of the taxable. personal
estate, of each and every person named in such
roll, over and . above the amount of debts due
front such persons respectively, and excluding
such stocks as are otherwise taxable, and such
other property as is exempt by law from taxa.
t!on, at the full and true value thereof, accord.
tug to our best judgement and belief. Which
oath shall be written on said roll, signed by the
assessors and certified by the justice, and shall
be in place of the official certificate now requir
ed by law, and every• assessor who shall wilful
ly swear false in taking 'and subscribing said
oath, shall be guilty of, and liable to the penal•. •
ties of wilful and curt opt perjury.
