NIGHT DISPATCHES. FROM EUROPE. BY ATLANTIC CABLE. Preach Oevtraaeat sad Mexieaa tkmrm- tloa—French Troops Uavlng Koine— Loadoa Market—Ketorm Meeting in Kaglaad—Liverpool Market Cotton 9** Tax on LlqnoB. Ill* operation ot that section of the tax law having reference to liquors is causing much dissatisfaction with a large class of our merchants, as well as the State authorities. A3 it cow stands, '.iquora are taxed every lime t£ey are sold, aad a number of ex pedients have been adopted to escape the payment of the tax, which can be done without violating the strict letter of the law. For instance, a merchant in the Interior of the State sends to a gentleman in this city an erder, which he sends across the river in South Carolina to be filled, making no re turn to the Collector, claiming that he only acted as agent, and bo on, until no one pays any tax but the retail dealer; thus defrauding the Stale and effecting a practical discrimina tion without incurring a penalty against •»' own liquor dealers, iodavor of an «tside "^his is so manifestly unfair to a large class of the merchants of theStAe and prejudicial to the commercial trade of our cities, that it is not to be doubted for a moment um Legis lature will correct the evil by prompt legis lative action. We understand that a petition for the re peal of the tax is being numerously signed by our merchants and leading citizens, and it Is to be hoped that the Legislature will promptly adopt such action as will relieve onr reviving commerce from the embarrassing effects of a law so discriminating, unjust and impolitic. Prospect op a General Amnesty.—The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette says : “There is a rumor and an impression existing among very intelligent gentlemen of every shade of political opin ion that before the assembling of Congress the President will issue a proclamation de daring a general amnesty, with a limited number of exceptions. The reasons for prompt action in this matter are so apparent that they may have induced the current be lief and report. I can trace the report to no authentic source, but am among tbose who believe it to be highly probable. Columbia and Augusta Railroad.—A vote of the citizens of Augusta on the question of authorizing the City Council to subscribe $100,000 to the stock of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad was taken on Monday, with the following result: In favor of tbe subscription, 537; opposed, 89. Tbe Chronicle regards the vote as authorizing the'subscrip tion, while the Constitutionalist, holds that the law requires a majority of the legal voters of the city to be cast for the measure in order to get the question before Council for con sideration. Railway Meeting in Bainbridos.—Tbu Bainbridge Georgian ot the 15th inst. says— Wc understand that the City Council of BaiDbridge, at their last meeting, appointed a c'lmmittee of nine of our citizens to matte renewed efforts for increasing the subscrip tion of our city to the capital stock of tb* Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad Company, and to that end a meeting of tbe citizens of Bain- bridge is called for this evening in the Court bouse, at 7 o’clock. In Candia the Turks have conquered the “Cretan Insurrectionists,” and, by way of showing the United States Government bow to act magnanimously, have granted oa the spot a general amnesty to the insurgents How poorly does tbe boasted Christianity of this country contrast with the humanity of tbe Mussulman!

Nov. 12th. 1666. j 7b (As Mayor and Aldermen . tt of the City or Savannah: Gentlemen—Your representative, Mr. Ruaeell, baa presented to the Legislature “ A bill to reorganise the Fire Department of Savannah,” accompanied with a resolution of your body requesting the Senator and Representatives to aid to ita passage. Upon a careful examination ot tbe bill, 1 find several important ob jections which will preclude my favorable action, and I beg leave to present them to you for your coaaldera- JliraL The bill, although not oxpreealy proposing an act of incorporation, yet approacnee it so closely as to indues me to consider it drat iu that view. Under the sixth eeotion 2d arttole of the Constitution of the' that* of Geoegla, tha power of the Legislature to lr- oofporal* la limited to certain kinds of incorporation. A Fir* Company to not on* of the excepted cases, aad the Legislature ta not therefore authorised to act. Tha tew leave* no doubt that thiate a private ooepo- ratten under tha definition given by the Ooda of Geor gia. te#ton» 108 to 1*36 Inclusive. Hthla lanot aa act of Incorporation, it is, in my judgment, a subject of municipal sebon alone, and therefore within fee control of the Board of Aldermen. Again, the fifth section of the KB proposes to repeal all lawa and partaoftewigtetogacuipaeato Alstonoe to tha Sa vannah Fire Company, except ao much as allows them to bold and control their funds. Tbe effeet of ■its clause would be. in mj Judgment, to annihilate fee existence of this company as a Fire Company; and that if It shell become a law, thl* company would have no future right or power.to set la their organised capacity to the extinguishment of fires. I cannot nut that snob wa* ttie Intention of Council, and if it e?. 1 in a court of competent Jurisdiction. The Council la of coo rae fully advised of ita own powers, and I do not propose to do more than simply state that, to my opinion, U»ie ia no sense for legislative iqj '■It 1. arrive from pasture Entertaining these views, I have thought tt wniy proper to reap)fea* to your resolution to advise yon of them, and as forming the reason why I cannot give Gnoaox b. Owns. The legal opinion of Hon. K. J. Harden, corporation (Money, was then submitted and reed; and fee cor poration attorney was, on motion, requested to lay hie views before Connell, after which Alderman Waring oflsrad the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the bill be referred to the corpora- tfoo attorney for amendment, and report the same to an adjourned meeting of Uena«lfor Tuesday evening into of Low Walter, of said maty.deceased! at 8 o’clock.
