Tlio Commissioner of Internal Revenue has n Jresseil tho following to Sheridan Shook, Collect (I the Tliirty-secoiul district of Now York: Washington. August 23,18G5. Sm?I havo been informed that the opinion pi vails to nomo estent among the bankers nnd oi Jtci'? of your city that the provisions of the thi section ?if the act of March 3, 18(55, which roquix coUeetors to deposit daily in the Treasury i "moneys roceived by thcni for intoiial duties, sup?. ?Olio tho provision?) of section forty-four of the a of Juno SO, 18i14. which authorizes tho Oommi ?oner of Iutcrnai Revenue to remit, refund ai jay back all duties erronneously or illegal assessed or collected, or unjustly assessed, ? ?xccssivo in amount- and thorcforo tliat it will n iio in tho power of tho Commissioner of Intern "Revenue to pay back at n futuro timo the tax? which may bo hold by tho Supreme Court to liai "been illegally assessed and collected. A brief e: aynimition and comparison of the two t-:ectiona ri icrrcd to will show this apprehension to bo witl out foundation. The act of March 3, 1865, is a amondatory act, and repeals only auch provision of former enactments as aro inconsistent with th amendment. (See section 1C, to require daily d< -posits of all collection? by each collector, and nc inconsistent witli the provision authorizing the It funding of taxes illegally or in any manner im properly collected.] Tho authority conferrci "upon tho Commissioner to refund such taxes, b drawing his draft upon tho Collector of Interna Jtovenue, is inconsistent with the provision rcquir ing Buch Collectors to deposit all collections in thi Treasury. It becomes necessary, therefore, no to refuse rcpaymont in such cases, but to substi tuto another modo; and taxes collected erroneous 3y aro now refunded with as much promptness at iicforo tho act of March 3, 1805, took effect. Tin Bame section, 44, which authorized tho Commis sionor to ?iraw against moneys in tho hands of col lectors, authorized the Secretary of tho Treasurv to prescribe regulations under which taxes erro neously collected could be refunded, and these regulations have beeu changed to meet the re quirements of the amended law. Tho Commis sioner is now required to make application, from time to time, to tho Secretary to have the neces sary aumB placed to his credit with the Assistant Troaeurer at Now York, upon which ho draws in 2|ko manner as if the moneys were in the hands of collectors. It will be seen, therefore, that neither the ability to pay, nor the facility with which such "payments may bo made to tax payers, has been -impaired in tho slightest degree bv the operation of the act of March 30,1805. Very respectfully, WILLIAM ORTON, Commissioner. Tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue this morning made the following decision: Vessels are not regarded as merchandise) within the meaning of eection 99 of tho Act of June 30, 3804, and tho tax of an eighth of ono per centum imposed by said section upon tho sales of mer chandise is not to be imposed ou the oale of v?a sela. Tho following decision, was made in rega-*- t0 -ihc 6alc of photographs'. Where a party pays, ?ay th*eo dollars and scv enty-fivo cents for a dozen photographs or sun pictures, the person who sells or delivers the pic tures must affix a three cent stamp to eaoh. The pretence that the first picture is worth a dollar, and hence requires a live cent stamp, while each of the remaining eleven is worth but twenty-five cents, and consequently requires a two cunt stamp, is an evasion of the law which cannot be tolerated, In regard to dividends, tho Commissioner has rendered the following decision: It is held by this offico that all dividends declared by any of the institutions mentioned in section 120 of the Excise law, since the 1st of July, 18C4, are subject to the tax of five per contara, without re gard to tho timo when the profits upon Which such dividends arc based wero earned. The following in regard to blacksmiths was pro mulgated this morning: "Where a blacksmith's annual receipts, whether derived from new work done or from repairs (sec tion No. 94), or from increased value given to horse shoes partly finished bv more completely finishing them (section No. 95),"or from all those bouvccs combined, exceed one thousand dollars, he re quires a manufacturer's license; but receipts de rived from the mere act of shoeing horses should not be included in the amount, since the mere shoeing of horBcs is not a manufacture. -?? ?i?)t DcatH of tlie Oldest Boulogne Conspirator. A Paris letter to the London Times says: The oldest of the parties who wero engaged in the Boulogne conspiracy of 1840, Etieinio Laborde, died yesterday (July 30), aged eighty-four, in the Palace of the Luxembourg, of which ho was tho Military Governor. Labordo entered the Service in 1804, was lieutenant of infantry in 1811, went through the Gorman and Russian campaigns, in which he was twice severely wounded. He accom panied Napoleon to Elba in 1816, returned with him to France, and was present at "Waterloo. He was placed on half-pay at tho Restoration. He re turned, however, to active service after tho revo lution of 1830, with the command of the Forty first of the Lino, and with it mado tho campaign of Belgium. In 1834 he waB named Commandant do Flaco at Cambrai, but was placed on tho retired Hat hi 1838. Known to be warmlv attached to the Bonapartist causo, he was readily admitted as one of those ap pointed to execute the plot of 1B40. Ho was arrest ed with the reBt of the conspirators at Boulogne, and tried by the Chamber of Poors, when ho waa sentenced to two years* imprisonment, which the government allowed him to complete without diffi culty to a maison de saute at Cuaillot. In the 'or der of the day' issued on board the Edinburgh CaBtlo by Prince Louis Napoleon alloting their ?iarts to his associates, Laborde was designated as ieutonant-colonel in command of the artillery of the centre; and in tho general instructions ho wuh ?chargod with tho immediate formation of a bat talion of voluntsors whom ho was to nssemblo o n the Place d'Armes in front of tho Hotel de Ville of Boulogne.' 'Labordo was proposed as candidate for tho Constituent Assembly in 1848, but without success. He was more fortunate hi 1850, when he was elect ed in the Charente Inforieuro to tho Legislativo Assembly, where heftook' his soat and voted with the majority who wero opposed to republican in stitutions. On tho dispersion of the assembly on tho 2d of Dooomber, 1851, ho retired into private life, and some few years aftor was appointed to the pout which lie held till his death. Ho published, many years ago, an interesting account (called Na poleon et sa Garde) of tho journey from Fontaine bleau to Elba, the Emperor's sojourn thero, and his escape to France. A few weoks ago ho per ceived his end approaching. Tho Emperor paid him a visit before his departure for Plombi?res. It was about this timo that tho old man destroyed ?II the papers of a political character, and said to ho highly interesting, which he had in his poBsea ?ion. -. to ? - Fob the Ladies_A profound sensation has boon mado here by an English lady, the wife of an attache of the British legation, wlio has tho honor of introducing tho fashion of staining the eyelids end under the eye to a deep black, giving a strange ??pression to a pallid and othonnae ordinary face. Tlio ladies all exclaim in horror of such a barba rous fashion; but, aa I said before, such ia. tho fascination of crime, it spreads like an epidemic. At the ball, last night, six Indies wero Been with these frightful black oyos. The effect is such ae is supposed to rosu.lt from an election fight, a weoks spreo, or midden death. Whether tho pig auent iiwed is vulgar burnt cork, charcoal, or -" tho kokohl'8 jetty dye. Which give? the long, dark languish to tho eye," -which Mr. Moore tells us is used in the harems oi Cashmere, I ?m not advised; but If any of youi young lady readers aro anxious to ascertain, ? re fer thtm to tlie advortiaomont? of the ladv-enamel era, who promise at one sitting to mnko oiie * beau tiful fotevcr." Perhaps a noto to tho British lega tion would obtain a recipe for tho artiolo, If oui .vfivca anj sweethearts do not stick at this fashion, wo may noon expect to soo them dyeing theii finger nafw and tooth, and going the whole figure of oriental barbarisms.?'Saratoga iMler. ??

C, write, July, 18C5, as follows.? "The Phosphate of Luxe we purchased of you gives good satisfaction. Last year we applied fifty-ii vo (GG) tons to three hundred and seventy-?vo (S76) acres of land for cotton, say about (aOO) three hundred pounds pur acre. We rub bed the seed in the Phosphate, and also sowed it in tho drill with the seed at the time of planting. On a portion of the land we applied a top dressing of tho Lime at the second hoeing. Throughouttbe season the cotton plants itrew well?the leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and "NO nusr " was seen on the plantation. Tho ravages of tho army worm prevented us from realizing the benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, still tho largo number of ' partly grown bolls and forms gave some idea of what tho crop would have been could thoy have matured 41 though we saved a large quantity of manure on the place last year, our confidence in the valuo of your Phosiibato lod us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which wo used ourselves, and tho balance wan ' bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is look ing lini'ly, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a cloy sub soil, running near the surface ; the remainder is flat and Inclined to be sandy. The owner of the placo tells us that * ho did not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate we have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but the second season of cotton growing with un; huh, from'onr experience thus far, we do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime ae a inauuro well adapted to tho wonts of the cotton planter. " Notuebby, 8. O. October, 18C0 Professor J. J. M.Ar__? Dear Sir: I bought twenty bags of your Nitrogenlied SuperphoHpbato 'of Lime of 1 your Agents, Messrs. H. At N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, 8. C. (who solicited a statement of Ita offoct>0, *nd applied it to forty acres of my poorest cotton land. This land is on the public road, wkero its effects were seen. My neighbors, who are acquainted with the land were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed iu malting tho cotton than on my other land. Not apartide of rust was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while tho ni9t prevailed over every other portion of the crop. Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE Notb.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River. Tho Saluda bottom- are proverbial for producing largo quantities of cotton. COTTON. . . Columbia. 8. 0., October 18. 1850. Mr. J. J. M_r__?Dear Sir: In reply to your* of the 1st inst, I cheerfully state: I have used Mapes' Nitro, genized Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yield. I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, aa a pure and effective manure, ana would give it tho preference to any other in the market Yours, respectfully, TUOS. DAVIS. Mr. Charle. W. Mixon, of Edenton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover: In regard to Mapes'Phosphate it worked admirably for me, the product being fully equal If not superior to both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either tho other manures; but id: seemed to retain its color'and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was overseen where it was applied?all the land I planted in cotton being about tho same quality and strength. CHAULE? Vf. M?XUN. Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Berzella, near Augusta, 0?., August, 18-0: J. J. M_fes? Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate ha? been?, and ts now, superior in its effect?, where I have applied it on my cotton, to either l?t-manuro or cotton seed; and? as compared to the laud without manure in tho same field (lu my opinion the only true way to test it), it Is as four to one ln the number of grown bolls, and as ten to ouo in tho young fro it and forms, in favor of tho Superphos phate. This opinion la formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer suit myself, Thore is one result: * from its application, which, If It had nothing els? to recommend it, is of incalculable valuo, and that is, it does seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rmf. I have applied it to land that Invariably rusts cotton, and there is as yet not a sign of rust in it, while tho same*! __iu vi land Just adjoining is completely ruined by it already. This experiment confirms that made by Mr, Lomos, of 8. C, last year; and I am fully pornuadnd that any plant;, manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that case come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, raeloM and other garden plants, that have kept green. during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are as green and blooming as beautifully as in spring. I have written this as the result of my judgment from close observation. When I shall havo gathorod my crops it will give me pleasure to give you the result from actual weight and measure. Yours, GIDEON DOWSE. attract irom nctKiy uay-uooK: New Yonn, Octobor 29, 185i>. ? We have, in tho course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence or tho superior valnt> of Mapea' Nitrogeulzcd Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton fields of the South, whero Peruvian Guano had been used with partial success. Tho bolls have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per acre lia?, been larger, and what Is also of the greatest consequence, no nut it discovered In cotton fields whore this article it*, applied, to which may bo added its peculiar lasting power of fertilization, and its comparativo cheapness.

Mapes, Esq., New York?Dear Sir: I bought fonr tons of your 8uperplioephate of Limo for my cotton crop, also some guano, and have tried them sido by side on the samo quality of uni). Not apartide of rust was to bo seen whetoyour Superphosphate was used; ami I also applied stable manure on a portion of my land. Tho cotton hail the rust-when the latter wns used. The yield of cotton wus splendid when tho Superphosphate wa*> used, desnito tho extraordinary dry year. Whon I applied the other manure the yield was not good. I applied the Superphosphate at the rate Of 100 lbs. por acre, and believe it would have paid better it I bad put moro per acre.
