AN OBiLUVLU. THi: Al VAI.OltKM KILL. On Wednesday evening, the committee of the w hole, in the. House of Representatives, to which had been committed a bill providing for an ad valorem sstcm of taxation, concluded their deliberation, and the bill with its amendments w ere reported to the House; but before a question, was taken thereon. i (he House adjourned. No amendi hvn na s. hot rornorate or no itir: i i i i sonal property, including lurniiUie, t;ver tne value ol one hundred and fjfiv dollar: all monjevs loaned at interest on simple contract, bond or mortgage; the capital of all merchants and exchange, brokers employed in this slate; all capital m i Motks'or the stocksof moneyed or other incorporations, shall be, and the same are hereby declared to be subject lo taxation, with exceptions hereinafter specified, to be levied and collected aation the property of different benevoent in(iMtion?, togethcer with certain exemptions in favor of rcvolalionary soldiers. An asesor fur each township is to be appointed to take a list of all taxable inhabitants and make anasUessment of the property within the same. It provides lor a pod tax on each male inhabitant over the aire of 21 and under 59 year. The f ixes cJ the present year are to be levied and collected as heretofore. The princi pal i!ieu-sion in committee of the i whole, took phtce on an amendment, ; Mi iking out tho amount of exemption ol personal property from taxation, and in lieu thereof inserting a provision practically designating the articles subject to taxation. While thisamendment was pending, considerable discus sion took place w hether hog one of our most important staple commodities should be subject to taxation. The principle argument in favor of designating the articles, wa the trouble of making out a schedule for valuation, of every minor article of personal property, and the difliculty thai w ould arise, in compelling the assessor to invade the private sanctuary of every man's dwelling, in order to fmd out the most trivial

articles that would he subject to tax

ation. It was contended on the other hand, that there would he a difficulty in disignating the particular articles, as w as already witnessed in the debate, rel ative to the item of hogs and that ihe man who makes a parade of splendor, by throw ir.g around him a large amount of personal properly, could not be reached by taxation, and consequently ihe provision would operate une qually. I he amendment w as not ailoptcd, and the first section of the bill stand a above stated. Another amem!mer.t offered by Mr. Crumc. created considerable discussion, providing for an exemption from taxation of all dwelling houses or other buildings, where the valuation shall not exceed two hundred dollars. Mr. llenkle offered an amendment to. Mr. Crume's amendment, so as not to include in the exemption, buildings in towns and villages. This proposition created considerable debate with regard to (he propriety of making a deference between the citizens of town and country. Roth of the above propositions also failed in the committee. No particular vole has been taken testing the stiength of the friend and opponents of the bill; bul it is given up, on all hands, that the bill will pass the House of Representatives bv a considerable majority. Mr. Wallace moved that the House concur in the amendment generally; when Mr. Brackenridge called for a division of the question, and that the amendments be acted upon separately! Mr. Bryan moved that the bill and amendments be laid on the table; which, after an animated discussion, was decided in the negative. The question recurring on the motion of Mr. Wallace to concur generally in the amendments, (he Speaker decided, that a division of the question being called for, the question would be fust put on concurring in the amendments separately when .Mr. Wallace appealed frcm Ihe decision of the chair and the question being put, Is the derision of the chair correct? it was decided in the negative, Ayes, 35, Noes 30. Before any further question was had, the House adjourned until 2 o'clock, 1 M. In the afternoon the House took up the ad valorem bill and concurred generally in the amendments made in committee of the whole. The fust section of the bill was amended in the House, by striking out U,c exemption of a certain atnouhi of properly and specifying the items of personal property to be taxed. nrfi'ajia Democrat, Jan. 1G. From the Indiana Journal, Jan. 23. In the Senate, Wednesday, (he hill providing an equitable mode of laying the taxes of litis state (in oilier word the ail valorem bill) was according to the previous order, taken up, and the Senate, in committee of the w hole proceeded to the consideration of it. Some discussion took place on a motion of Mr. Morgan to strike out the words "and improvements." the elfect of vhich would be to rxempt from taxation the improvements, except buildings, made on farms. The amendment did not prevail. The subject was again re sumed yesterday afternoon, but the ne eessity of closing our paper to meet the niaus precludes us from giving anv fur ther account of the progress made in the bul. A bill has been ordered lo he en grossed authorizing the Governor to subscribe on (he part of the stale for Jrve hundred shares, of the slock in the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis Rail Road Company, w hen the other part ol the stock shall have been taken by individual stockholders and ,$o paid on each share. What may be the fate of the hill we know not, but wc hope il may pass. Wc hope not. Ed. Times. un:s. The dealers in-this article have generally returned, and we believe, without a solitary exception, have made money. This fortunate state of the market will throw a considerable sum of money into circulation in Kentucky. We are informed that G0,000 hog have passed the Ivenhawa route 82,000 through the Cumberland Gap, and about 40,000 through Tennessee (o Georgia and Alabama making, in the aggregate, IS 2,000 head. Suppose half (his number to have been slaughtered and pickled for the New Orleans market, and wc have the grand total of 273,000 head taken from Kentucky this season. This number of hogs, supposing Ihem to average 200 lbs. net, and supposing the New Orleans market equal to the other markets, will furnish the handsome, sum of t:ro mil lions sti-en hundred and thirlu ihmiyand i ii . . j noiiars. l rom Ihe best mloi mation we have on the subject, we are inclined to believe our calculations nearly correct. What sum has iwohably been realized from the sale of horses, mules, and beef cattle, we have no dV,a for calculation.

From the Cincinnati Journal, Jan. X AMITI! Kit CASK. M. Bkmxeri) in casting my eye over you paper of (he Dili inst. 1 was peculiarly struck with an article oer which was the caption, 'Insult to a Cttisen nf Cincinnati."1 The case there de-! scribed was by no means a solitary one: for on that day, and at the same place, a number of just such aggressions, committed on several individuals, fell under my own observation. And now, sir, if the following statement will, in your apprehension, subserve the interests of truth, or tend to wake up the citizens of Cincinnati, to tlje ghostly usurpations of the Roman Catholic church,

it is at your disposal. Obeying the apostolic injunction 'to prove all things, I attended for the purpose of witnessing the ceremonies of the consecration of the Roman Catholic Chapel, on Fifth street. Having sanctified the interior of the building, the prosecution of bishops, priests, and 'aspirants for (he holy (?) 'ministry,' fully equipped, not. 'with the whole armor of God, but with mitres, crucifixes, censers, holy water, iv:c., performed the same ceremony around its exterior. During the ceremony, 1 stood in the public street. 1 observed, however, that as the procession drew near, many in the surrounding multitude look oiftheir hats, and frequently crossed themselves with greatapparcnt devotion. My pity was excited for (he victims of such ignorance and supetstilion v as could prompt these exhibitions of man-worship. Now the procession was passing before me: but my attention was tinned from the gaudy pageant by a rustling noise behind me, and I had scarcely turned myself in the direction whence it proceeded before my hat was forcibly torn from my head, by a gentleman, shall 1 call him? No! but by a bigot, whose whole appearance made it quite doubtful, whether his devotion to Bacchus, or his zeal for the pope, were predominant. This might seem to alford some excuse for the grossness of the insult. But let it be remembered that he was only imitating the example of a 'leading Catholic' who w as guilty on the same occasion of the same outrage. 1 observed others who were similarly treated ; but 1 shall leave them lo speak for themselves. In view of such facts the pertinency of your interroga tory, which closes the article alluded lo, must be obvious to every observer of the signs of the times. At a future time I may communicate other fads equally revolting to the re publican and christatn. Alexander Di now. Jan. IGih, 1835. NuwOrvi.K.ws. The Louisanin Ad vertiscr states that the revenue of -thai city is about 300,000 per annum, de rived from Ine shipping, steam and (bt boats, leae oirdrays and carls, grog shops, and on real estates, Sec. The income from grog shops alone is about 60,000, which sum added lo the rents of about four hundred houses, at 100 each on an average, attendance and sur port of the same al 200, each, amounts to the enormous sum of 300.000, tax paid, by the public for the support of a class of people w ho are a positive in jury to the community. But this is not all. The chief contributors to this fund are the slaves, who are not orly en couraged in drunkenness, but have strong inducements held out to Ihem to rob their masters, that they may been abled lo gratify their propensity for drink.'

JV. Y. Sun. JESUITISM. A catholic teacher, by fhe name of Murphy, some months ago, set. up a school in the town of Lawrenceburgh, Indiana. He promised most solemnly not to endeavor to exert any secta rian influence upon the minds of his pupil. Tilings went on well for a time: but one day, a mother was surprised to hear her little daughters giving a glow ing picture of (he excellencies of the Catholic religion. Inquiring of her

laughters where they obtained such

information, they confessed that their teacher bad furnished them with a Catholic novel to read in school, on condi tion they should not carry it home. This novel lauded the Catholic religion to the skies, and slandered the Protestants. deeply indignant, she sent me for the teacher, who confessed ihe whole. He was soon after sent away. 1 he above is only a specimen of the Jesuit arts which are practised by poMsh teachers lo beguile 1 rotcstant children; while Catholic children, being already secured, are left to grow up in that ignorance which Popish priests rive always cherished, in all countries, where Protestants have not created a mblic sentiment in favor of education. We trust our country will be saved from the tender mercies of Popish mests. Cm. Jour. Thiv day completes the two hundred md fourteenth anniversary of thelandingof the fathers at Plymouth. Htisl.

Extract cf a letter from a "cry respectable source dated Paris, Dec.
