SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER II.

THE COLLECTOR of State taxes for Shen.
andoah county has, under instructions from
the Auditor Of the State, made formal de-
mand upon Mr.. II. G. Dulany's agents in
this city. upon pain of another levy, for the
coupons rendered by them in payment Of
that gentlemaD's taxes, but the acceptance
of which was refused, q levy made upon his
property, and enough Of it sold TO pay his
tax bills, for which proceeding he
sued the State and obtained damages.
To this demand the agents: Messrs. Burke
& Herbert, have replied that they will return
the coupons when the tax collector shall
return the money he obtained from the sale,
and not until then, and that he can pro.
coed with another levy upon pain of another
suit for damages. That they will be sus
tanned by the courts there isn't the remotest
doubt. This case has already cost the State
twentytiv hundred dollars. How much
more it will cost, her State officers only can
tell. But why her tax payers, who have to
bear it, submit to it any longer, no body can
tell.

partment against Consul Withers at Hong
Kong, in connection with Certain abuses
growing ont of the discharge and shipment
Of American seamen at that place. An
American sailor upon being paid oil and
discharged from his ship, instead of going to
the American Consul, went to The British
Consul and placed himself under the
latter's protection, by which he not
only saved all fees, but when no
was ready to ship again he had
supply Of ready money Of his own
and did not nave to 90 in debt TO a board
Ing-house master. Consul Withers, it is
charged, not only declines to see and hear
complaints from the sailors OF the United
States: but If they persist in making their
demands he has them locked up for con.
tempt. Besides, the new Consul has been
reported for drunkenness, indecent and i'm.
moral practices, and abuse of his position in
making prisoners work for the amusement
