The Finance Committee to whom was re | ;rrtd the memorial of Robert A. Al'en, j \\\C. o Driscoll, Charles F. Mills, Charles I Uirtridge and Joseph S. Fay, asking a re- I a j of the tax on Gross Commissions, pro- I visional income and salaries, beg laavo to report. That they have given the subject all due consideration, and find it impracticable al its time, to grant the prayer of the peti- Ilion evs. Jill the taxes of the present year were re duced twenty-five per cent, and in the cal culations and estimates upon which the re daction was based, the money to accrue from the subject of taxation referred to by the petitioners was taken into consideration. It a therefore manifest that if this tax be ffC r repealed the resources of the Corpora tion will be insufficient to meet the do mands upon the treasury, and the city be forced to increase its debts, and consequent.- lr its taxation. Can any portion of the emunity desire such a result 1 In addi tion to this your Committee may add that cany citizens have already paid this very tax u question. four Committee however deeply anxious a meet the wishes of the whole Community, and to calm all excitement and opposition, would recommend the prospective reduction of the tax in question, a general review and re-organization of City taxos ; and to carry out this view, that the aid, co-operation and advice of the petitioners be invited. Your Committee, therefore, trust that the Petitioners will come forward with the same spirit in which they have been met, pay the lax this year, and unite in the formation of such a system of taxation as will meet the sanction of all parties.

Three Strong Men , by Alexander Dumas. translated by Payette Rjbinson. JY. York: dJe Witt Os Davenport. When we first saw the title of this book, we must acknowledge that we trembled with apprehension : not that wo are cn stitutiouully timid, nor that Mr. Dumas gen erally possesses any extraordinary terrors in our eyes, but we immediately and naturally thought of the “ three Guardsmen ” and the “ three Mousquetairos,” and we shuddered at the idea ot our author dragging sacrile giously trom tho grave of time, those three redoubtable heroes Athos, Porthos, and Aiamis, and sending them inhumanly to haunt us once more : we have always had an idea, trom the description given of that triumviate by Mr. Dumas, that they were immortal and invulnerable : at ull events, if we were to judge the length of their lives from the length of their histories, wo should decide that among their other accomplish ments they had found out tho secret of the elixir vilte, and never intended to give up the ghost. But what could Mr. Dumas do ? 110 is bound to write a certain quantity for some journal, say the ‘•Couatitutionuel,”/or which he is paid by the line, und the talented scion of tho house of Pailleterie, penny-a-liner tho’ ho be, which is something equivalent to being an india rubber man, is completely at a loss what to do ; ho has expended all his incident on Messrs. Athos & Go.,and beauty of thought and language was always a trifle to which he would not descend. The Con stitutionuel is thundering in iiis ears for copy, the subscribers are calling on tho Constitu- Jionnel for Dumas: and so,tint gentleman re solves on wrating noi a historical novel, but one trom pure imagination, and we must say we thank him that we know this, for hitherto we have never been able to distinguish his romance from his history or his history from his romance. W o open tho book to give a specimen ; ah! here is a conversation: this is Alexan ders for to : “ The Nicholas sails well.” ‘•He makes his eight knots an hour.” “ It is your play, captain.” “ Double six ?” “ Yes.” *• There.” “Your turn, M. Valeuy.” “ I can play to that,” &c. for this highly interesting and instructive conversation, see page 31. Again on page 59: “ M. lo Comte is going away ?” “ Yes.” At what hour ?” “ Noon.” “ I shall then order the horses at eleven “ Yes.” u Monsieur goes alone ?” “ Yes.” “ Two burses then will bo enough ?” “ Yes.” i ho observant reader will see how fond our author is of the assenting inonosylulde, and tho reason is evident. Alexander, who ts a shrewd person, aud is paid by tho line, sees no reason why he should not in.ike a hue out ot ‘yes,’ as well as out of a dozen words: and so it has come to pass that the form ol M. Dutnas’s contracts with tue Parisian Purteleuilles causes him to be the most monosyllabic writer in tho world, but what thinks tho reader ol tho following touch of sentiment, on pago 57, it is on the return ot a loved brother and son, after an übseuce ol years, to a mother aud sister: he is excess, vely fund of this sister, (Blanche) for as our author says. “ this affection was so jealous, so suspicious, and so timid, that it shrunk ut tho approach of the least dan ger.” “ Blanche, my adored sister,*’ cried the young man, tukiug tho head of the young woman in his hands, • toll mo if you are happy.” •• Yes, indeed, I am happy, dear brother,” said Blanche. “ Then 1 am hungry.” Now we cannot say that wo soo nny rea son why the immediate consequence of a sister’s happiuess should bo the affection of a brothel’s appetite. Tho whole passage reminds us powerfully of tho nursery, rhyme— “ The king of France, with fifty thousand men, Marched up the hill and then marched down again.” In fact (for we have already spent too much time on this,) M. Dumas—like a child who builds a palace with cards, and after all his trouble finds it naught still but pasteboard —has writteu an vol without intention, order, or care, and finds after his labor that nonsense is the proceed. We fear that tho author of Monte Christo is on the path down hill, and that he will soon find that the Pa risian public will uot be satisfied with a novel conceived after breakfast, while he is picking his teeth, and written before dinner, correct ed after dinner and his siesta, aud published the next morning. O That’s the question : What i§ th© use of a seat of war to a standing arniy A man with an orchard full of ap ple trees, lately advertised for a lucky fellow with the fever and ague to shake his fruit down fur him.
