The Assessor, in his report for 1856, did
not give the assessed value of houses and
buldings-this year he returns the valuation
of such property at $243,l54. This year he
returns money at interest at $ll6,39l, which
we suppose was included in tho item Of
Solvent Debts in the Report of 1855.

Nor DEclpED.-It is understood that the
Executive Committee Of Vigilance have been
for some time debating the expediency of res
ending the order Of expatriation issued
against Muligan, Duane and Others. The
present organization Of the city government,
it is contended, gives the committee the op-
portunity of fully disbanding and that the re-
turn of the men sent away could now be pro-
ductive of no injury to the body polite. The
matter, we hear, is warmly argued pro and

A Schoolmaster, not a hundred miles from

master. "Well taste is one, feeling two,
smelling three, two ears are five, two
