and gives, compared with Messrs Pusey and
Brothers engine 724, say u, horse power,
instead of 81.
Now do not object TO paying my proper
proportion of water rent, but finding these
errors in my case, made by the agent whom
your committee have employed, have taken
the liberty of calling your attention to the
subject, hoping you will take such action in
tho premises as equity and justice demand
Taking Messrs Pusey & Brothers engine
as standard for comparison, think am
assessed 800 horse power too much, and that
seventy-nine dollars should be refunded to
me,
You must agree with me that the volume
of steam Cor water from which it is made)
that is used by an engine is no measure of
its horse power, and that this term should be
discarded from the ordinance, and another
adopted, which will more truly express the
consumption of water which is what we
should be taxed for, not the horse power.
The 10 inch cylinder engine in use at my
lower foundry, which uses but 394 cubic
inches of water per minute, takes the place
and does the duty of one, of liz inches cyl
inder, 4s inches stroke, making As revolu.
tions per minute, using steam under pres
sure of so pounds, the whole of the stroke,
and used 14l6 inches Of water per minute,
giving s5.95 horse power
If you will by the foregoing formula cal
eulate the quantity of water used in many
engines in this city, of the old construction,
carrying high pressure, and using the steam
nearly or quite the whole stroke, some Of
them blolcing cG half the time, you will be
amazed at the quantity of water used, and
with me be convinced that the results oh.
iaincd by your agent are entirely fallacious,
and see the necessity of revising the present
assessment that the rent may be more evenly
and equitably laid on the consumers of
Brandywne water Hoping the subject will
receive due consideration, l remain,
Yours very respectfully,

LETTER FROM DOVER.

DOVER, January 26th, 1866
A bill has been introduced in the Senate,
and printed, authorizing the State Treasurer
to seize the books and the real estate and
personal property of certain State Banks,
which have changed into National Banking
Associations under the act of Congress, and
to sell the said personal property and real
estate at public vendue The bill also au-
thorizes the Attorney General to take pro
eeedngsto procure a declaration of forfeiture
in the cases of certain other State Banks,
which have made the like change | pre-
sumo all this means, that those State Banks
which have become National Banks, have,
since the change, declined to pay into the
Treasury of the State, the tax imposed by
their charters as State Banks Those who
framed the bill have provided short cut TO
the end they seek to accomplish, and alto
gether the bill reads as if the Legislature is
about to 'smash things generally"
In connection with the subject of National
Banks, / would also mention that bill has
been introduced in the House, and printed,
taxing shareholders of National Banks one
half of one per cent. on the par value of
their Stock. 1t is conceded that the State
cannot tax the capital of the Banks as Banks,
and so it is provided in this bill for taxing
each holder of stock on the amount he holds,
and charging the State Treasurer with the
collection OF said Tax. There are various
opinions in regard to this bill, and when it
comes up for action it will be thoroughly
examined and compared with the act of
Congress in relation to taxing investments
in National Banks
| The following bills have passed.
An act to incorporate the Delaware City
Cemetery Company.
An act to incorporate the Thorough-farc
Neck Cemetery Company.
An act in relation to injuries or death
occasioned by unlawful violence or negli.
gence.
An act providing for the proof of the Or.
dinances of the City of Wilmington in the
Courts of the State.
An act to prevent certain animals running
at large in Brandywine Hundred.
An act TO incorporate the Nautilus Steam
ship Company.
An act to amend the charter of the City
of Wilmington, so as to enlarge the powers
of the City Council in the matter of drainag,
and paving Streets.
The following bills have been introduced
An act extending the limits of the City o
Wilmington to the Delaware River, an,
south of the Christiana Creek.
An act incorporating the Christiana Rive
Improvement Company,
An act allowing New Castle County t.
send five pupils TO the Deaf and Dunn
Asylum.
The act fixing the salaries of the Judiciar
is still in the hands of committee of til
Senate. The impression is that they vii

vented any action at that time. Ifprovision
had been made at that time, to meet it, there
would have been deduction of fifteen per
