To meet the present wants of the House of Refuge, it is already under obligation to the widow of the deceased for tbe generous donation of towards the erection-of a separate building for Its female inmates, and $1,000 additional towards tbe purchase of furniture for said building.

The above sums, with the $6 000 ltf on hand from the Norfolk yellow fever fund, which was some time since donated to the institution by the Norfolk committee, will be sufficient to accomplish the very desirable Improvement its managers have Immediately In view. Important Decision of the Court of Appeals In the case of Fonke vs. Fleming Douglass, the Court of Appeals have recently made an Important decisio in relation to conveyancing under the new law, which is of general interest. The decision relieves the citizens of the State from the difficulty and embarrassment heretofore experienced ia construing the provisions of two conflicting acts of Assembly passed on the same day by the Legis- lature of 1856 one of said acts, the new conveyancing act, having also been incorrectly engrossed and printed, by the omission of several important amendments passed in both houses Tbe court expressly decide that no ajfidav it as to the consideration of a bill of sale or mortgage of personal property is now required; that such affidavits were expressly dispensed wiih by the conveyancing act 1856, ch. 154, sees.

123 and 142, and that the provisions of these sections are in no way repealed or affected by the act of 1856, ch. 113, passed on the same day. The court also decides, that where the engrossed bill and the published copy of a law correspond, it cannot assume they are erroneous, or decide the law to be according to the evidence of the proceedings of the Legislature, as furnished by the journals of the two houses. That an en grossed bill, according to the practice of our Legislature, is examined by a committee of the house inwnicn it originated, then assented to. as en grossed by both bouses, and signed by the Governor, with the seal of State annexed; and this Is better evidence what a law is than the journals of the two branches.

This decision, in relation to engrossed laws, will render It very desirable that the committee clerks of the Legislature should hereafter be intelligent and accurate penmen, and also very necessary that the engrossing committees of the two houses should perform their duties hereafter with the utmost care and deliberation. The Court of Appeals also decided in the nine CESft, that a temptrnry or tran'ient residence by a citizen of another State, in a county of this State, where his personal property is at the time situat ed, is sncn a resiaence as amounts to a compli ance with the provisions of the conveyancing act (1856, chap. 154.) requiring bills of sale as mort gage to be acknowledged and recorded in-the county where the party executing the same resides. Death of an Old Resident On Thursday af ternoon Mr. Isaac Taylor, died at his reiidence, on me miien roaa, aDout nve nines irom tae city, at the ripe old age of eighty-eight years.

The de ceaFed was born on the farm now occupied by Col. Solomon Hillen, and was the son of Joseph Taylor, who settled in Baltimore ceunty when Maryland was a British colony. At the age of fifteen years the deceased heard the call to arms of the patriotic men who dared to defy their opprer-sors, but was then too young to join in the struggle for freedom. At the age of eighteen he was joined In wedlock to Elizabeth Thompson, and lived with ber for forty-six years, when she died When tne secona war or inaepenaence required the strong a'trs end the stout hearts of all American citizens, Air. Taylor buckled on his armor, and in 1311 assisted in the defense of Baltimore at North Point.

At the age of twenty years he connected h'mself with tte Methodist church of which he was said to have continued an exunplary member. The church was then in Its primitive state In this country, and his zeal for the cause of religion mpde for him strong friends of Bishops Asbury, Whatcoat and Gecrge. In his earlier life nearly the whole of the land lying between the Harford and Hil'en roads belonged to the Taylor family, and with his own hands he felled the forre6t and cleared the land of the farm on which he lived and died. By his marriage there was no issue, and after the death of his wife Mr. Taylor spent the remainder ot nis aays in tne ramiiy or nis nephew, isaac Taylor, Jr.

He was a man of powerful frame and strong mir though in his youth the opportunities lot education were not such to afford him tbe means to cultivate it. His memory was retentive, and up to his latest days he could vividly describe the times of the revolution. The Contemplated Demonstration by the Oid- Fellcws.

Washington, Sept. 9. The Postoffice Department Is not in the receipt of any new assurances from the nominal contractor for carrying the California mails, to the effect that he will fulfil his" contract. The department has no information of the establishment of a line by him to perform the required service; but if he falls the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and the Panama Railroad Company, have offered to carry the mails from New Y'ork to San Francisco via Panama, for the postages, which are rising three hundred thousand dollars annually. Wells, Fargo Co have intimated their readiness to cany them, and Mr.

Vanderbllt, who now has a line of steamers, also stands ready to take them. The bid of the latter in ay last was to carry them for nine months, from tbe first of October next, from New York to San Francisco, for thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars, exclusive of the cost of transport by the Panarxa Railroad, which is now 8100,000 annually. This sum of S37.500 was to be doubled If carried by way of Nicaragua. Vanderbilt's bid for carrying from Nev Orleans via Nicaragua to San Fraicisco, for the nine months, was $150,000. The bid of the Pacific Mail Steamship In connection with the Panama Railroad, was 8199,000 for nine montbB' service from New YTork to San Fran cisco direct, via Panama.

They made no bid for carrying from New Orleans. Johnson's bid for carrying for the same time the mails from New York and New Orleans to San Francisco, via Nicaragua, was but $162 000.

The Will of George Brown.

In the several trusts i nderthe will, which Include a large proportion the estate, the following gentlemen are- named as trustees in each esse: David Ferine, George L. Brown, Wm. H.

Graham, Joan A. Brown and James Brown. Esas. A variety of newspaper statements respecting SDerifie ben nests or donations made bv the deceas ed for especial purposes connected with charitable Institutions, are erroneous. The will contains no bequests.

The donation (heretoforefjnentioned in Tte Sunl of $25,000 to the First Presbyterian church was made by canceling a mortgage to that nmr.nni the deceased held upon the new church edifice. It is understood that a donation of 620,000 was also made to Princeton College, jew jersey. The snm of Mr Brown's charities, however, Fever be fully known to the public, as he stu diously avoided any publicity or ostentation in thg testowal cf his bounties. To that trait in his cha- jcter may be attributed the absence of any bequests in vlS All that can with propriety be said in relation to bis Charitable dispositions is, that the lamented deceased Las left it in the power of one who knew his wishes and who shared his sympathies, to become the almoner of his charities at her ewn pleasure and discretion; and that the regular annual contributions to the institutions and charities in which the deceased wss interested, will, from her hands, be continued the same as if he were living.
