THx TAX Rolls FOR 1853 are now open for the inspec-
ton of the tax payers Of the city. Under the rule Of the
new Deputy Tax Commissioner, who went into Office last
September, an entirely now plan OF making out the maps
and rolls has been adopted, which cannot fail OF making
matters clearer than they have been to the tax payers.
The deputies have measured and noted the dimensions OF
each lot, with the number and character Of the buildings
tbereupon. All these particulars are put down in the
tax rou opposite the valuation Of the property, so
that the nature Of the assessment can be seen at a
glance BY any on; one q. all acquainted United with ,d the value

Of the improvements In property, 1t would be well
for the property holders TO take a look at these rolls,
so as to be able TO designate their property hereafter when
they come 10 pay their taxes. The value OF real estate
this year shows a large increase over last year. The valu'

Of the First ward, in the Second ward and q few other To-
caliies. In the Fifth and Third wards It has largely In

gtng In the earth, and other mysterious circumstances were
also related, which gavc.confrmation strong In the darkest
suspicion. Finally the Spauiard announced bis intention OF
proceeding 10 New Orleans, and n few weeks since he left
