C. T. B. The Ichneumon Sucking the Eggs of a Crocodile.—This singular animal bears a very elosn resemblance to tho weasel family, both in form and habits. It is about eighteen inches long from end to end. It feeds upon birds and rep tiles, as well as upon rats and mice. The most famous species id this creature is known in Egypt and the adjacent countries ns “Pharaoh’s rat." It is larger than a cat, but formed like a weasel. It is of a grey color, with along tail, small plowing eyes, and a pointed nose. A living specimen is to bo soon in tho London Zoological Gardens. Tho Ichneumon was one of the numerous ob jects of worship among tho Egyptians, probably because it was so useful in preventing tho in crease of crocodiles by destroying their eggs. These they Buck with grent avidity, and this is tho host way of preventing tho increase of any •vil—sunk it up in tho eggs. It is a natural enemy of tho serpent rnen nml exceedingly expert in seizing them by tho neck, sons to‘prevent any injury to^tsolf. Tho Ich neumon sometimes squats on its haunches, nml feeds itself with its fore paws like tho squirrel. The Ichneumons are often mill'd belli in Egypt and India, nnd employed to destroy ver min. When they sleep, they bring tho head and tnil together, and roll themselves into the shape of a ball. They can also dive and swim like the otter, being able to remain a long time under water. Surely God has made nothing in vain ! In connection with tho above sketch of tho Ichnuomon, which wo copy irom tho “Youth’s Penny Gazotto,” tho Rov. Mr.- IIamner has furnished us with the follnwing little fable, which ho is wont sometimes to uso to enforce his urguments in behalf of tho enuso in which ho is ongngod—tho moral culture of youth: The. Fable of the Tentyrites.—A crocodile of a prodigious size and uncommon fierceness infected tlie batiks of tho Nile, nnd spread des olation through all the neighboring country, and ventured to carry his incursions even into tho Island of Tentyra, and to bravo the people who bonst themselves tho only tamers of his race. Tho Tentyrites themselves wero struck with horror at tho appearance of a monster moro horrible than they had ever seen before, and endeavored with nil their art and address to surprise him, hut in vain. As they wero consulting together what they should do in those circumstances, on Ichneumon stepped forth, and thus addres^ld thorn : “I know your distress, neighbours, nnd though 1 cannot as sist, you in tho present difficulties, yeti can give you some simplo advice, that will bo of use to you in future, if you take it. A little prudence nnd precaution is worth all your courage: it may be glorious to over come a great evil, but tho wisest way is to pre vent it. You dispise tho crocodile while ho is smnll nnd weak, and do not sufficiently consid er tlint ho is along-lived animul, nnd that it is his peculiar property to grow ns long ns he lives. Y°u sec I am a poor littlo feeble crea ture, yet I nm moro formidable to tho croco dile. I attack him in his egg; and while you aro contriving for months, how to destroy one crocodilp, I effectually destroy fifty in a day. Bad principles might be. destroyed' in youth with the same facility, if taken in time. Our readers will not fail to appreciate, and, as wo trust, apply the moral. Chemistry of the Stars.—This singular head forms tho subject of an article in tho Brit ish Quarterly. The design of it is to show thut the forms of life existing in this world aro not repented in the other planets nnd heav enly bodies. The article is destined to bn read with unusual interest. Tho data from which it reasons, aro tho variety in weight superficial phenomena, forms and color of the heavenly bodies. It is shown to be impossible that a system of animal and vegetable life,resembling that of our globs, can oxist on many of them. Tho dry and rugged surface of tho moon, vol canic, yet without sen and withoutatmospnore, the varying quality of sideral light, and tho chemical poverty of meteorites or air stones, as faros their component substances have been discovered by analysis, are among tho data on which it is argued that tho stars aro not tel luric, that they do not resemble the earth in their composition, nnd, therefore, that life must be otherwiso associated and sustained on tho surface of those orbs, if it oxist at all, than on ours. Tho chemistry of the stars,it is inferred, must differ from tho chomistry of tho earth; tho grandeur of the universe and tho grandeur of omuipotoheo aro not obscured, but vostly t illus- tratod by this general fact of diversity, a di versity that is already seen to surpa-ts all pre vious thought and all possiblo conception. Yet there may bo as wide a range of vital as of chemieul diversity, and the rcusons of analogy is urged in behalf of the hypothesis that the stars are inhabited, are in no way invalidated by the discovery that they aro not,or that many tof them are not—ndaptod to the sustentii- tion of such living beings as dwell on tho sur face of our earth. Perpetual Motion Discovered'.—Almost.— A Mr. falter, of Livermore, has made a model machine, which has been in motion by its own power, upwards of a year; nnd it will go, says tho inventor, as long ns the materials of which it is constructed shall last. There is sufficient power in tho model to move common clock work. Tho inventor has secured a patient, and is now having a model made of polished brass. “1 hope you will bo able to support me,” said a young lady while walking out one even- ning with her intended, during a somewhat slippery state of the sidewalks. “Why yes," said the somewhat hesitating ewain, “with a little assistance from your fa ther." There was some confusion, and a pro found silence. Very Curious Case.—J.omlon Exchequer Court.—Connoljy vs ,Connolly.—This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, promoted' by the Rov. Mr. Connolly against his wife. Tho matter came before tho Court during the lust, torm when tho allegation presented on be half of Mrs. Connolly was directed bytheCourt to bo reformed. This hud been done, and a further allegation entered, which wag now like wise opposed b\ the husband, on tho ground thut it was exnctlv similar in substanco to the one or dered to bo withdrawn. The brief facts wero, that Mr. and Mrs. Connolly were born of Ameri ca parents, nnd married according to the ceremo nial of tho English Protestant Church ul Ameri ca. Soma time previously to October, 1333,and about four years after such marriage, they deter mined to becomo Roman Catholics, and for such purpose proceeded to Rome. Mrs. Coimnolly joined tho Romish Church at New Orleans, on their way; and her husband, on thoir arrivul in Italy, also abjured tlie Protestant religion, and joined tho Roman Cutholic Church. After wards they returned to Americn, nnd entered into a verbal agreement tlint each should livo a lifo of perfect chastity, which agreement has since been steadfastly adhered to. Tho aguin returned to Italy, where Mr. Connolly became a priest of the Romish Church, nnd Mrs. Connolly colored aconvont. Mr. Connolly was afterwards appointed chaplain to tho Earl of Shrewsbury, (a Human Cntiiolic Peer; upon which, in com pany with Ids wife, he came to England, whero she entered a convent at Derby. After the lapse of some years, Mr. Connolly left tho Church of-Rome, and applied to his wife, for the purpose of inducing her to do the same, nml to return to his roof. This, however, she refused to do, assorting tlint she qpuld not vio late the solemn onth she had taken upon entering tlie Convent of the Sacred Heart at Rome. Mr. Connolly, therefore, instituted tho present suit. Tho Court said it must take some considerable time to consider this cns. It was one of great importance to all parties, nnd it was a question whether tho parties,^not being natural horn sub- jocty, this count could exerciso its jurisdiction. [Ncnagh Guardian, Nov. 37. The Coast Survey.—Tho report of the Superintendent of the U. S. Coast Survey to the SocretaJy of tho Treasury in a rcconnoisanco of Hatteras Cove, on the coast of North Carolina, nnd of Bull's Bnyou tho const of South Cnrolina by Lieut. J. N. Maffit, U. S. N. assistant in the const survey, accompanied by sketches of tho couBt, has been puMiscd, and contains much in formation of interest mid valuo to sea-faring men. The cove lies to tho Westward of tho extreme point ofCnpo Hatteras and has been formed since 1845 bv tho exotnsion of the Capo. Since 1345, the S. W. spit of Hatteras has mudo out nearly 3-3 of a mile. Hatteras inlet is twelve miles to the Southward nnd Westward of tho Capo ami Bull’s Bay is about twenty-three miles North of Charleston on the const ofS. C. The following are tho sailing orders which accom panied tho charts. Tho report is dated Juno llth. 1840. Hatteras Inlet.—Hatteras Inlet hears S. 70 deg. W. ( W. by S. if S.) 12 miles distant from Capo llutterns Light-house. It is nasily known by a remarkable round hammock covered with trees on tho East side of the entrance. The breakers seldom entirely extend across the ontinnee, but at nearly all times muke on each siite, and between them lies the channel. Tho bnr should bo approached from the North ward and Eastwnrd. Keep in from 4 to 5 futhoms water, along the breakers, until up with tho opening. Tho course is N. W. by W. half of a mile, keeping tho Eastern breakers aboard, until tho house on the Enst point of the entrance is on with tho south edgo of tho trees on the hammock, when the course is N. W. half W. throe quarters of a mile, bringing tho house on the East point just open to tho Northward of tho trees on tlie hammock; then tho course up is N. W. by N. | N. three quarters of a milo to tho anchorage just insido of tho sand spits, which are bare at low water, and show at all times distinctly. The least water oil the bar is 14 feet at mean low water, to which the soundings aro reduced. Tho mean rise and tnll of tides is two feet. Thetidosand currents ure much influenced by tho winds.* Tho ordinary velocity in the chan nel is 3 knots. Tho bottom is hard sand, except a few sticky points about tho anchorage at the head of tho channel. Bull's Bay.—In making for Bull’s Bnv, bring tho N. E. bluff or point of Bull’s Island to bear by Compass N. W. and then run for it. When within three quarters of a mile of the l’oint, steerN.JW. until you pans it, then follow round the shore and anchor nt pleasure in soft bottom. In loaving'Bull’s Bay for the Sound bp careful not to keep away until you lmvo cleared tho out er spit, which bears S. E. by S. from tho Bluff Point of Bull's Island, <listant3^ miles. Outsido of the harbor the flood set’s N. E. nbout 1.3 per hour, nnd tho ebb E. by S. *| S. 1.4 miles, though much influenced by the winds. Note.— Tho N. E. Bluff or Point of Bull’s Island can bo seen 11 miles in good weather. Naval Intelligence.—The following is tho latest intelligence in regard to tho movements of the Pncific Squadron. U. S. store ship Southampton, Commander Handy, with Comninnder Long nnd Lieut. Emmons ns pnsssengers, arrived at Panama on the 28th December. Awaiting cxchango of officers. U. S. ship Treble was expected nt San Fran cisco on the 1st January. On tho 27th No vember she was still at Honolulu. Crew im proving, having lost 23 with scurvy. U. S. “Savannah,” Commander Johnston, at South Salita, Cal. Commander Jones was at the mines. U. S. “St. Mary’s” Commodore Voorhos; Executive officer Marcban, at Honolulu, via China, on Dee. 1st; all well. U. S. “Massnehusets,” Commander Knox, with the commission for the scurvy of a site for a navy yard on tho Pacific Coast, is at Honolulu, recruiting men and health. U. S. “Warren,” Commander Pickering, was at South Snlita. U. S. “Ewing," Cnmmndner McArthur, sur veying a site supposed to be good for a navy yard, near Sonoma. Rev. brig C. W. Lawrence. SUP An English ship of war stationed at Canton, recently destroyed four hundred pi- rates, thirty-two armed junks, and captured three hundred men. EF* Col. James Watson Webb, Minister to Austria, lias arrived nt Liverpool in the ship Yorkshire, en route for Vicna to ussume liis di plomatic duties at the Austrian court. SATURDAY, JANUARY Iff, 1850. 137^ For an important, circular from the Treasury Department, see first page. The Steamer Ohio.—W*e have seen a let ter from an officer of this steamer, written off’ our bar, which states that when off Cape Hnt- terns she encountered a severe gale of wind, in which she stove both her wheel-houses, and sustained other damage. She was compelled to lay to 48 hours. Death of Com. Connor.—Tho Washington Globe says, that Com. Connor died on Satur day morning, 12th inst., at Erie, Pa. We learn that by tho death of Com. Connor his rank will devolve upon Capt. Josiaii Tattnall, of this city, so recently honored by tho Stnte and his fellow-citizens of Snvnn- nnh for his meritorious services in tho Into Mexican war—his name being first on the list in the line of promotion. The lists of the ser vice do not furnish a name more worthy of the rank than that of Capt. Tattnall, whoso broad peimnt will over be a guarantee for the honor of our flag. Counterfeits—The Chaleston Courier no tices the appenranco of counterfeit $20 hills, on tho Commercial Bank of Columbia. They are numbered 85 and 44, and both lettered r.b Charles Toppon & Co., Phila., engrnvcr|. They are payable to J. Jones or hearer; dated, Columbia, May 1st, 1844 ; nnd. signed, J. A, Crawford, Cashr.; A. Blanding, President— their dato being about live years after the death of the President, Col. Blanding. The vignette is the Genius of Agriculture, surrounded with appropriate symbols. On the left is tho figure of Washington, and on the right a head. The signatures of President and Cashier arc en graved, not written. The Baltimore Sun states that counterfeit $;> bills on the Franklin Bank of that city are in circulation. The hills aro remarkably well executed, ami calculated to deceive tho most wary. The Bank is culling in the issue on that plate. fUF* Joseph Barker, the new Mayor of the city of Pittsburgh, was brought from the jail by tho Sheriff, on Tuesday morning last, and inaugurated Mayor of tho city, in tho pres ence of the Council and a largo concourse of citizens, to whom he made a phort speech, in which, among other things, he declared him self in favor of tho^suppvession of “Dogger ies” in the city. Tlie cheering is said to have been immense. Aftor the address, he handed in a list of his appointments of the officers of tho Corporation, and was conducted back to jail by the sheriff, to await tho receipt of the premised pardon of tho Governor. Mr. B’s election, as well ns his imprison ment, is to be attributed to a religious con troversy now raging in the iron city, and which is likely to result in another riot similar to that in Philadelphia a few years since. ESP Tho English are making efforts to es tablish tho cultivation of tea in the country beyond tho Alama, in India, and also to work tho copper mines of Delhi. EIP It is worthy of notice says a late Lon don paper that tho repeal of tho Navigation Laws lias rather improved than injured the home ship-building trade. All the yards wore full of orders, and it is said several would, of necessity, bo sent to America. Annexation of Canada.—On the subject of the Annexation of Canada to the United States, tlie London Morning Advertiser holds the following langungo which may be regarded as a very fair-expression of English opinion, in reference to tho matter: “Canada lias under consideration tho ques tion of severance between tlie mother country and the Canadian provinces. Tho conclusion is that England would he no actual loser were the threats carried into executiou, but an ac tual gainer. Tho maintenance of that part of our colonial possessions costs nearly three hundred thousand pounds annually.” Betting on the Cotton Crop.—Tho edi tor of tho New York Spirit of the Times says, he has received a lettorfrom a highly respec- tublo gentleman of Selma, Ala., in which tho writer says: I understand that tho cotton crop of this year is estimated by many in the city of New- York, at from 2,300,000 to 2,500,000 bales, and that they will bet on those figures. If so, I will bet from three to five thousand dollars that tho crop will come up to twenty-four hun dred thousand bales, and will place tho funds in tho hands of Robert Desha & Co., or Riv ers, Battle & Co., of Mobile, provided the like amount is placed in proper hands in New York. Disunion Petitions from the North.— The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society,never at a loss for something on which to lay violent hands, are engaged in circulating a petition for secession from tho Union. Homestead Exemption.—During the last few months, bills have pas-icif as follows:— Maine exempts a Homestead to the value of $500, and, in thcabsence of allomnstead, per sonal property to that amount. Vermont ex empts a Homestead to the valuo of $500; Iowa a Miucsota, 40 acres of land, or a lot; Cali- tornin, 200 acres of land, or a lot of land worth $2,000; Deseret, it is said, secures a home to every family. Georgia,Texas, Michigan, Wis consin, Pennsylvania and Connecticut had prc- viouslv enacted slmlar laws. The Contemplated New Coinage.—A writer in the Charleston Courier discoursing on this subject, alludos to the objection that has been raised to tho coinage of nine and seven cent silver pieces—viz : that they would be so near the same size as to render it difficult to distinguish one from tho other—and then pro ceeds toremark— This objection, Messrs, Editors, I think conld easily bo obviated, und, at the sumo time pre vent the increase of a difficulty thut we begin already to experience in determining the value of some of our old ten cent pieces ; many of which u.-o so much worn, that it is not easy to decide whether they are ton, twelve and a half, or nine centpicces. Todothis, let the valueof tho coin be stamped upon it in figures ns large as tho coin will allow and so deep that it will be quite discernible even though tho piece should have been worn to ono-third its original thick ness. I have heard it stated by a few persons, nrnlitmaybe the opinion of many more who have not reflected upon it, that the nine and seven cent pieces would not enublo payment of throo or four cents to bo made without the use of cents. This is a mistake, as the following cal culation will shew, If you want.to pay 1 cent, give a ten and receive a nine cent—if two cents, give a seven arid receive a fivo cent—if three cents, give a ten and receive a seven cent—if four cents, give n nine and receive a five cents— if G cents, give a 10 and a 5 and receive n 9 cent. —if 8 cents, give the same ns lust and receive a seven cent. It might often Nippon that just tho right, kind of coin might not be bad by both parties; would not the chances therefore, of making change be very much increased by issu ing, not only the nine nnd seven cent pices, but also the eight and six cent pieces,and by stamp ing them in the way I have before stated, would not their value (originully) bens easily known when they wero old us when new, and thu^ prove a lasting improvement to your plentiful silver coin. Many suggestions have been made on this subject, and many objections urged by thoso who, having been trained up in their youth to tho use of coppers aro now that they are old reluctant to depart from it. For our own part, we regard the copper cent as a relic of finan cial barbarism which should bo got rid of if possible. Tho cent has never been in popular use at the South, mid our people have suffered both loss and inconvenience rather than encumber their pockets with them. A coin that would supply their place in our circulation would certainly bo a great convenience to the public. Besides the new coins would be more effectual than any other means in driving out of circu lation the Spanish and Mexican small coins, thus forming tho basis of n purely American gold and silver currency. Like all other in novations, tho introduction of such pieces c.< tho writer describes would cncountor some opposition, and might be attended with some inconvenience until the public became familiar with them; but tlioy could certainly not, even at first, cause any more perplexity, or bo more inconvenient than our present heterogeneous currency. Our people have a happy) facility for “reckoning” money, which would soon relieve them of any temporary embarrassment that might be caused by the change. The Murders at Paterson, N. J.—Ar. rest of the Murderer.—The atrocious mur ders at Paterson, N. J., of which we made a notice in our paper of Thursday, have caused an intense excitement. The parties murdered wore old, wealthy, well known and highly es teemed. Judge Van Winkle lived long enough to make a full statement, in so far as ho was cognizant, of the murderous attack, nothaving died till Wqdnesdny night. Mrs. Van Winkle was almosqmstautly killed. The murderer' who is an Englishman, named John son, is nov^ in - prison, under the verdict of the coroner’s inquost. Wo give the following par ticulars from tho Newark Advertiser: “Judge Van Winkle states that he was rous ed from sleep between two and three this mor ning, by the screaming of his wife, who lay in the front side of the bed, nnd putting his hand upon her, it came in contact with tho head of a man. On raising up in bed, ho was struck on the head with a hatchet, but he jumped out nnd ran to the door leading to his servant’s apartments, crying murder. Before ho could succeed in opening the door, however, ho was attacked by tho murdorer, and in the scuffle his bowels were ripped open by a largo butcher knife, which caused him to sink insensible on tho floor. After this ho must have been cut, for his face was horribly mutilated, apparently by a hateliet. He describes the man as a small one, having on seemnigly a woolen shirt over his clothes. • “The servants came down after the escape of tho murderer and alarmed the neigebor- hood. Parties set oat in all directions. A ladder taken from the mill, was found standing by one of the garret windows. Tracks wero seen nt its foot and one party set upon the track. Mr. Ackerman started for the depot of tho Rantapo railroad, where in a few min utes ho saw a small man approaching with a woolen shirt over his clothes and a bag. He proved to be John Johnson, an Englishman. On coming up ho asked the road to Hacken sack. Mr. A. informed him it was the best way to take the railroad track part of the way, and said ho was going tliore himself, and pro posed to go into the depothouse to warntbefore starting. Both entered, hut Mr. A. left imme diately, and returned with a rope and an as sistant. They seized and bound him forth with. He had by this time taken off'bis wool- on shirt, which was wet with blood, nnd put it in the bag—which proved to be Judge Van Winkle’s. Johnson’s left arm was bloody and spots of blood were on his face. He alleg ed he had got bloody carrying in hogs the day before. The hatchet and knife were left in the bloody chamber. American News [from Abroad.—The French Capital Journal du Havre, states on the authority of a private letter from the United States, that the Cabinet ntVVashington has just admitted the justice of the demand for indem nity made by M. Poussin, which was the ori gin of the dispute with Mr. Clayton. [Reported for tile Daily Morning Mows.) IN THE SUPREME COURT, January Term, 1850. Edw’d, M. Prendergast:,- et al., j Plaintiff in Error.- I Statute vs. > of Litnita- Owen Folev, Administrator, I tions. Deff’t. in Error. J Per Cur.—Warner, Justice, delivering tlm opinion of the Court. At law, when the Statute of Limitation be gins to run, it nover censes, unless suspended by distinct legislative onnctincm. Equity, how ever, where there hns been fraud, takes hold of the person committing it, and refuses him the privilege’of tho Statute until it is discov ered. Both these principles are invoked by tho Plaintiffs in Error in this case. In tho year 1830, Daniel Foley, under pre tended authority from Prendergast, the father of the Plaintiff's in Error, sold certain slaves, and bocame tho purchaser at the sales he al so received certain dray moneys to a largo amount belonging to Prendergast. In the year 1832, the Executors of tho will of Prender- gast had a settlement with D. Foloy for the negroes, in ignorance of his having any other funds of Prendergast in his possession. The fact that he had such moneys was not discover ed until the year 1845, when the heirs to whom the property had been turned over by the Ex- cutors, brought trover for the negroes bought in at the sale, who were in possession of the Defendant. The Plaintiffs in Error contend that tho fraud was not discovered until it was ascer- ained that D. Foley had retained other moneys; but it is tho opinion of the Court that the trans actions wero separate, and that the Statute began to run from the time of tho settlement between D. Foley and tho Executors. We think that the rights of the minor chil dren were not saved by tho Act of 1817. Tho word “interest” in that Statute means a legal right, but as tho property was personal, tho legal title vested in the Executors, not in the children, and the title having been barred in the Executors, is equally so in the children. It is further contended by the Pluintiffs in Error, that as the Executors had appropriated the ronts and profits to the support of the chil dren, it was such an assent to the devise as vested tho title to the property in them. Wo think not, and that the harmony of tho law will be best preserved by holding tho legal title to be still in the Executors. The support and maintenance of the children out of tho estate cannot divest the legal title of the Executors- Upon all the points taken in the Bill of Ex ceptions, we affirm the judgment of tho Court below. R. M. Charlton, Henry & Ward, for I’lffs. in Error. W. &. W. F. Law, M. H. McAllister, for Deft, in Error. Wiliiam Crabtree, Plaintiff ip Error, 1 vs. VAward.- Thomas Green, Defendant in Error. ) Per Cur.—Nisbet Justice, delivering the opinion of the Court: Whero a motion is made to set aside the award of an umpire, the irregularity of one of the arbitrators cannot affect the award. The umjjjre may give his decision upon all matters submitted, though some of them have not been considered by tho arbitrators. Where a suit is for specific property and an award is rendered under a rule of Court, the record of the award passes the title. It is not necessary for arbitrators or an um pire to give any reasons for their decision. It is competent for parties to submit a ques tion to abitrators and agree to be bound by thoir decision though it is contrary to law, and such decision will bo final. It is only when an arbitrator, seokifig to fol low tho law evidently mistakes it, that tho award will bo set aside for mistake of law. It was tho duty of tho umpire immediately after the papers wero handed to him to pro ceed nnd make his award. If Crabtree wish ed to be reheard, it was his duty to make a demand upon tho umpire for a rehearing. Upon all points wc affirm the judgment of the Court below. Cohen, Law, and McAllister for P’lffs in Error. Charlton and Henry & Ward, for Def’t in Error. Tax Ordinance of the City of Savannah. The Mayor and Aldermen of the’ City of Savannah and the ham lets thereof, Pills, in Err., vs. Charles Hartridgo, Deft, in Err. Per Cur.—Lumpkin, Justice, delivering the opinion of the Court. Corporations can only exerciso such powers as are granted by the legislative enactments of their charter. Tho Act of 1787, $4, which is relied on by tho l’laintiffs in Error, contains an enumera tion of certain matters which are by that Act made the subjectsof taxation. Income is not included in this enumeration, and the general power attached to said section is not sufficient to include it. The Act of 1805 gives to the Corporation power to tax such persons and property only as were taxed by the laws of the State; income was not then taxed. The power to tax a fac tor, means a power to tax the factor as an indi vidual, not his income. The Act of 1807 gives the game power as the Act of 1805. Tho Act of 1825, $7, gives the Corporation power to tax polls and real and personal estate, for certain purposes. Even if income were included in real and personal
