were accordingly handed over to the provost guard here.--Wash. Cor. Phil. Inq. Affairs in New York. The following is a summary of news from New York up to the 4th inst: The amount of the taxable property of the State has just been determined by the board of equalization. The board has advanced the aggregate valuation from $1,419,297,560, the figure for the last year of peace, to $1,441,767,430 in the present year of war — an augmentation of very nearly $22,500,000. The city of New York gains by a very much larger ratio; the valuation in 1860 being $550,078,788, and in 1861 rising to $571,078,798, a gain of $21,000,000.

w to report themselves for duty. Washington items — all quiet on the Potomac. Washington, Oct. 14. --There is nothing new from the lower Potomac to-day. Richard A. Lucas, belonging to this city, a minor, was brought before Judge Merrick to-day, on an application to be discharged from Col. Tait's First District regiment. The decision of the Court was that there was strong circumstantial evidence that the petitioner enlisted with the consent of his parents, and the applicntas, Seminole, and Anacostia are undergoing repairs, changing armament, &c., &c. Another case of habeas corpus, with the view of procuring the discharge of Richard A. Lucas, a minor, from the 1st District Regiment Volunteers, was before Judge Merrick this morning; but as there were indications that the boy enlisted with the consent of his parents, he was remanded back to his company.

nization is attested by general European practice, and should the war continue, appropriate rank will doubtless be authorized. In the Confederate army the highest grade is General. So here we may adopt the same title, giving that of Lieutenant General to commanders of corps d'armce.

M., to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Berrett's resignation, sent in since his release from Fort Lafayette, comes up for consideration. It seems that the corporation attorney, Mr. Bradley, in his opinion declaring it unnecessary to go into a new election now, in view of Mr. Wallach having been heretofore chosen Mayor pro tem. during Mr. Berret's " disabilty," admits that had the pro tempore selection taken place in consequence of "disability" arising from sickness of the actual Mayor, and the latter had subsequently died, a new elec
