EQUALIZING OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS. ~Mr. Ego brought up the report of the Committee appointed to revise and equa- lize the assessment rolls for 1861 with two schedules showing the equalized value of property in these Counties. The Council went into Committee of the whole on the Report‘sMr. Parker in the chair. The Report statedâ€"â€" ‘ The Committee have had the said rolls under their consideration, and have pre- pared an abstract similar to that of the former year, showing the average value at which resident and nonresident lands have- been assessed in the several townships re- spectiVely; also «the aggregate quantities and value of both descriptions of lands in_ each township, with the total valueof tax- able property as assessed, together with a comparison of the number of acres assess- ed iii each township for the years 1860 and 1861; likewise the number in each as given by Government returns and the as- sessment of 1861., he would oppose any further legislatidn on required, it being understood that it is ed to the Burnside fleet. T the subject. ‘ In making the equalization, your Com- mittee‘do not promise any change from the value placed by the assessors on non-resi- dent lands, but have confined their efforts to lands assessed as resident lands; and, in so doing, have made the classification of the several townships :-â€"â€" Class 1.

For instance, the roll from York towuship was not added up.

LAST‘ week’s. Ecbnomist contains quite a gem in the way of criti- cism. It consists in’whai purports to be strictures on the closing para- graph in the lastof two articles on Thursday, Feb. 13. , _ the subject of "municipal reform? The council met yesterday at 10 o’clk, taxation,’ from which we make the following extract, in order to show that we are neither alone in the views we expressed on municrpal matters, nor singular in our, mode of stating them : “Until the law is so framed as_to induce men'who have a larger stake in a municipality to take an interest in its affairs, there will be carelessness in the conduct of its finances.â€" '1‘he amount of care will in most cases cor- respond to the amount of/interest which the Council has in the municipality. You cannot well curtail privileges already granted in the matter of the suffrage; but ‘alterations are possible which would give a prepon'erating influence to those who are most deeply inter- ested in the prosperity of a municipality.’ "’ AMERICAN SYMPATHY. ['1‘ ‘must no“ doubt be exceedingly gratifying to the people of England to obScrvc the general expression of sympathy made by the Americans towards their beloved Queen, in her present severe domestic afflic- tion, It is a cause of just pride to every British subject that they ac; knowledge; a» Sovereign, whose virtues command the respect and admiration of the civilized world, and whose SOII‘OWS and bereave- ments meet with "the; condolence even of a people, fiwbo politibally are not on the rnost‘frie'ndly ‘teiims‘ with her government. This spon- taneous tribute of reépect to the Royal Family of. England will un- doubtedly be comforting to our widowed Queen grieving the loss of her excellent husband; but it must be peculiarly gratifying, at a time when national prejudices and animositics have been aroused to the highest pitch by the possibility of war. Probably the American press and people are beginning to be ashamed of the persistent abuse of everything British in which thev have indulged; and -are now in- clined to pursue recently a more rational course. The London Times, a few days before the demise of the Prince, unfortunately made use of the fol- lowing language with regard to the Americans, which is-to be re- gretted, inasmuch as it can produce no good, and lends only to perpe- tuate the ill-feeling already existing between the two countries: “ The English people do not expect from America either courtesy or affection; respect for our Queen or sympathy for our Prince.” We think it was unfortunate that the leading English journal should thus, by~ anticipation, haVe repulsed the sympathiés'bf a sister nation. to adjudication before a Prize Court, al- though altering the character, would. not diminish the gravity ofthe offence. The despatch concludes with reference to Mr. Seward‘s declaration ,that, if the safety of the Union required it, it would have been right to have detained the Trent prisoners. In reply to this Earl Rmsel says Great Britain could not have permitted the per- petration of that wrong, however flourish- ing might have been the insurrection in the booth. , ,. _. It is rumored that the vessel which the Sampler engaged 'off Algiers was the Iroquois. No news of either.
