if the South succeeded,
ravado, in induoing Mr.
the Lecompton fraud,
: spectacle has been pre
irganization like that of
r being committed to a
support of tbatinfhmous
meat judgment of ninety
ldred Democrats in the
mgb the corrupting influ
’ patronage oftheFederal
Government, and the active exertions of its offi
cials, it is curious to note what an advance has
been made in the arrogance of the demands; and
the, boldness .of the positions, of the fanati
cal worshippers of slavery! They evidently
think with SAM Patch, «that some things
can be done as well as othersand since they
have seen the proud old Democratic banner,
which so long was wont to wave at the head
of its triumphant legions as. the ensign
of popular liberty, and the flag of
human progress and advancement, ohanged
■by those who were chosen to uphold
it; into ',a black .streamer of tyranny,
corruption, proscription, and infamy, with all
its proud old mottoes and inscriptions effaced
ajid their place supplanted by such devices as
“diown,with the rule of the people,” « The
Executive is supremo, and the guillotine must
fall , upon all heads which think not with
him ” —they are devising still lower depths of
degradation into which to drag those who have
already yielded so much to their dictation.
What Democrat in Pennsylvania in 1866 could
have believed that before Mr. Buohahan had
been President for one short year, he would
have made superhuman exertions to force
upon the protesting people of Kansas a Con
stitution against their will ? We know what
he' has' done. But who knows what is to
come next? We should not he more aston
ished if in the quick-coming Ikture a pronun
ciatniento should be issued, .or a coup d’etat
achieved, which would revolutionize the
whole Government, than we have been by
what has already occurred.
As a slight indication of what may be ex
pected if the subservient policy of the Ad
ministration is to be continued, we advise our
readers to peruse the October number of Be
Bow’s Review, which is a sort of organ of the
ultra sentiment of the South. The first article
is styled “African Slavery adapted te the
North and Northwest.” The writer, after
demonstrating to his own complete satisfac
tion that slavery is a very desirable thing in
the North and Northwest, and that the pre
sent commonly reoeived ideas on the subject
are entirely fallacious, proposes that inasmuch
as a Northern demand for slaves would en
hance their price, the African, slave trade
should be opened, and a cheap and in
exhaustible supply of labor be thus af
forded. The coolness and earnestness with
which the whole subject is discussed is really
quite' refreshing. The “ mud-sill” idea of
Senator Hammond is dressed up into a new
shape,, and we are told that « Jin uncouth
miscellany of Irish, Butch, and Germans com
prise the hired workmen of the North. The
majority of these are Irish, the genera «f
whom greatly unfits them for tho duties they
are employed to fulfil. They are as capricious
as only sons—lacking in principle, impatient
of control, disposed to choler and whiskey, and
in the main unreliable for the purposes of tho
houses and field.” The men thus described
we relied upon to a vory great extent to do
r he voting necessary to sustain the Itecomp
tonite vassals of those who draw these pic
tures. 'Will they doit on Tuesday next?
Another gem of this Review is an article
headed “Reaction and the Administration,”
ipparently written to praise our present rulers,
[n the course of this article the following po
utions, strange as they seem 'for the nine
teenth contury, are taken, viz: “That Calvin
■'very properly’ burnt a zealot for advocating
che idea that the world was governed too
much.” That “the Puritans of New England
showed much conservative good sense when
'hey hung dissenters.” And our present rulers
we commended on the ground that they
“practise a rigid rule, and adopt, as their guide
and motto, “the world is too WW/e governed.”
This is done soberly and seriously, not ironit
cally, and may serve as a slight indication of
what we are to expect hereafter if. tho, peoplo
of the United States evince a disposition to
endorse'the prostitution of the powers of this
Government to unholy purposes which wo
havo witnessed during the last year. 1
Gunpowder on Board.
Some days ago we' noticed that tho steamer
Hammonia, when at sea, on her way to thiß
country, had an acoident which wounded four
passengers (one of them very seriously), and
caused.so much injury to the vessel that it
bad to return to Hamburg to be repaired.
This accident was caused, we now learn) by
in explosion “in the after part of the ship,
rad it was found that the powder-magazine,
containing the vessel’s stock of blue lights,
dgnal rockets, and powdor for saluting, had
blown up. This magazine being situated under
the principal saloon , tho passengors of tho
ilrst-ciass cabins were tho principal sufferers,
as the poop decks were forced up by the vio
lence of the explosion.” Tho causo of this
oxplosion is unknown, bat it is attributed to
spontaneous combustion. Tho powder-maga
zine « contained forty blank cartridges for the
saluting fonr-ponnders, five dozen bine-lights,
and abont an equal quantity of signal rockets.
There was also some gunpowder in it belonging
to the French Government.”
'Bearing in mind that one of the canses
Of ,the. burning of the Austria was the
explosion of its magazine, a like casualty
on - board of tho Hammonia presents grare
subject ior deliberation. We know not how
or where the magazine of the Austria was
situated; nor what wore its contents. The
magazine of the Hammonia, belonging to the
same line of steamers, is reported as “situated
under the principal saloon,” and Herr Fuied
bioh Muller, (who suffered so severely that
both of his legs had to bo amputated, « with
but feeble hopes of his surviving the opera
tion,”) was sitting in tho smoking-saloen, im
mediately over the magazine, when tho ex
plosion took place. Tho passengers, as it
turned out, were' almost in as hazardous a
situation as if they had been unconsciously lo
cated over a barrel of gunpowder. The con
tents of the magazine were blank cartridges
for the saluting cannon, blue lights, signal
rockets, and “ also some gunpowder belonging
to the French Government.”
In future lot ns hope care will be taken to
place the magazine on some part of tho vessel
remote from that appropriated to the passen
gers, and more' especially, that it shall not
Contain any gunpowder, except the small quan
tity actually required tor firing signals. Blue
lights and rockets are necessary, nnder some
contingencies, but they must bo put where
their'explosion will be attended with the slight
est possible bad results. Unfortunately, what
is past Cannot bo reoalled, but there certainly
can be somo control, in the matter reforrod
to, over thp future of ocoan-Btoamers. Above
all, stringent orders will be given, we entreat,
that the system of smoking steerage passen
gers out of their berths, by throwing red-hot
iron into -tar-buckets, to fumigate and suffo
cate, will bo dispensed with in future. The
loss of the Austria, with hundreds of human
beings,'seems mainly, If not wholly, attribu
table to the carelessness with the tar-bucket
and the m agazine. The Hammonia narrowly
escaped a like disastrous catastrophe.
Hon. G. B, Adrian.
We. are glad to learn that tho Opposition
Convention in the district so ably represented
in tho last Congress by this gallant champion
•of Popular Sovereignty,' at their meeting yes
terday.. resolved to make no nomination, but
to sustain Mr. Adbiah in the present contest.
Ho had previously been nominated by the
anti-Lecompton Democrats, and we trust that
his election is now secured beyond a doubt.
OCy Col. Geo. H. Mamie, tho Democratic
candidate for Congres S in the Second district,
is making an anspicious canvass. He is sup
ported' not only by his own party, but by
many who, while differing from him on the
opinions Cf the past, warmly advocate his
claims because of his public spirit as a citizen,
and - bis known devotion to the interests of
Pennsylvania.

The Collins steamers are nob yet sold) though they
probably will be Id a few days* All the parties have is the
refuaul for a very short time. Nor h*s a company any
thing to do with them. If the ships should be bought,
they will he turned over to a company at a small ad

the would-be purchasers have not been able,to raise or

Brief, comparatively, as was the career of the Col
lins line, it was a brilliant one in the history of ihe
American marine. Substantially built, of noble pro
portions, beautifully finished, thoroughly appointed,
with perfect machinery, and commanded by seamen of
unsurpassed shill, these floating palaces deserved a
more auspicious destiny than that to which, in the
mutations of commercial affairs, they have been
obliged to succumb.
A frothy little rumor is floating about In the po
litical sea, that Mr. Comptroller Church is an aspirant
for the Governorship of Nebraska. It can have no
solid foundation. Mr. Churoh is in some respeots the
most popular man of the Democratic party in western
New York. He not only has great personal strength,
but trains in the same company with those gentlemen
who fora few years past have diotated the men and the
raessnros by whioh the Democratio party has been
governed Iq this State. The admirable discipline and
thorough knowledge of tho manual possessed by that
company have given them the power, and achieved for
them the victories that regulars always win over mili
tia, who have not learned the virtue of obedience. Mr.
Church's aspirations are rathor in the direction of the
gubernatorial chair at Albany than that at Nebraska,
and he is more likely, ultimately, to attain the former
than the latter.
A new musical notability la about to make her debut
amongst ns—Mademoiselle Emma Weills, a lady organ
ist, whose speciality Is the Alexandre organ,'upon
whioh Th&lberg made some trifling demonstrations
during his first concerts. The public however, sobbed
but little when the great Biglsmund discontinued its
nse, preferring hia manner of exploiting the piano. The
Alexandre is little more than a good-sized melodeon,
and if M’Ue Weills proves any great shakes upon it, she
will do that in reference) to which musical people are
jast now rather dubersome. Possibly she may have
come out aa an ambulatory advertiser of the Instrument.
If so, the musical critics, who are tho best-natured set
ef dissectors in tho world, (and the quiokest.) to whom
& fiasco is a god-sond, will be less courteous to her than
caustic. But the French Counter gives “good excla
mation” of her, so she will be treated like a lady.
George Law has been doing one of those clever things
which he is always prompt to do when occasion offers.
The exhibitors at tbe fair having determined to keep It
up, notwithstanding the destruction of the Crystal Pa
lace, atonoe set about to procure some suitable rooms—
amattor rather difficult to accomplish. Their intentions
having come to the knowledge of Mr. L., he addressed
them the following note by his representative, Mr
Ohsrlick:
To TUB COMMITTBB OP MANAGERS OP TUB AMERICAN IN
STITUTE :
Gbstlemzk : I am informed that you are in search of
a building to continue the exhibition, and that you
have been unable to procure one. I have a building,
corner of Eighth avenue and Fifteenth street, 100 feet
square, lighted on three sides, four stories high fire
proof ceilings, IS to 1& feet high, which I beg to offer
you, free of expense, for such length of time as you
may require for a continuance of the exhibition, with a
donat’on of $5OO towards defraying the expenses of such
continuation. Very respectfully,

Tammany Hall has issued its mandate that the \ ri
mary meetings for the election of delegates to the Con
gressional and County Conventions shall be held next
Monday evening. The following significant incident
occurred during the meeting of the General Com
mittee :
Mr. Charles A. May, of the Sixteenth ward, rose and
stated that charges had been made in certain of the
daily newspapers that that General Committee was ad
vancing the ends of Judge Douglas seoretlr and were
laying the wires to have him nominated at Charleston,
in 1860. To prove that this charge was unfounded, be
asked that the committee unanimously pass the follow
ing resolutions, which he offered:
Whereas, We have witnessed with great regrot the
course pursued by the Hon. Stephon A. Douglas, Sena
tor from Illinois, at the last session of Congress and
since its adjournment} and whereas, we can fiod no
justification for his course in opposition to the present
Administration, and particularly in opposing the ad
mission of Kansas as a State with the Lecompton Con
stitution: therefore,
Resolved, That we believe him solely actuated by a
selfish desire to revenge himself upon an Administra
tion which he fonnd too honest and too firm to lend its
entire power to subserve his ambitious designs.
Resolved, That we heartily condemn the action of
the said Hon. Stephen A. Douglas in opposing tbe great
party to which he owes his present honorable position
ss a Unltod Btates Senator j that we have no sympathy
whatever with him or his coadjutors in their present
treacherous movement, which only tends to distract and
divide the ooly national party whote measures and
principles are alone the conservators of the people's
rights and liberties* in whatsoever State or Territory
they may reside.
Resolved , That we take pleasure in reassuring our
present Chief Magistrate of ourabiding confidence in bis
perfeo* ability so to manage tin affairs of onr Govern
ment, both at home and abroad, as to cause the pros
pe itjand growth of the Republic.
Tne reading of these resolutions created great confu
sion, and evidently took tho leading wirepullers quite
aback, Foma were for laying them on the tablp imme
diately, but this they daredjnot do ; eoj after a scone of
great turmoil, the dangerous resolutions were referred
to a committee to report upon, which Is about the same
as killing them off altogether. There was evidently a
great desire to avoid voting on these resolutions.
This is the first pablio “ crushing out” demonstration
that has been attempted against the Senator from Illi
nois, and the manner In which It was disposed of tells
its own story to every man whose political molars have
been out.

market steady. Tennessee 6s rose #, and Missouri 6s

j-?or Tho Fress.l
Tbo Washington (Jmon announces the abroga
tion of the oontraot with Mr. Myers for tho supply
of the Bcotoh water-pipe, and Bignifioantly adds,
that “this matter, whioh has been a sore trouble to
some of our friends in Pennsylvania, will bo set
tled in a manner satisfactory to all parties, ex
cept the defaulting oontraotor.”
Had the award of this oontraot by a subordinate
offioer of the National Government been promptly
sot aside by bis superiors, upon tho ground of
its preference of foreign iron, in tho face of the
faot that Amorioan iron is oheaper, at nominally
higher rates, on aocount of its native superiority,
the notion of tho National Administration would
have been porfeotly satisfactory; but the oontraot
has been set aside' on no suoh grounds; It has
been forfeited by a failuro to comply with its terms
on tbe part of tho oontraotor—whether upon some
seoret understanding between the high contract
ing parties, or not, it is not matorial to inquire-
But this infamous award of a largo oontraot for
the supply of iron of foreign manufacture, at a
timo when the market is gluttod with American
iron, and when our forges and manufactories are
stopped, is not the only eridenoe of want of sym
pathy with, but of actual hostility to, the great
material interest of the State and of the Union on
the part of the National Administration. Their
flat refusal to advanoe money to the numerous con
tractors for supply of the iron required iu tbo con
struction of the publio buildings, upon terms as
liberal as before, at a time when evory iron bouse
in the nation was trembling before tho first burst
of the financial storm of 1857, is yet fresh in tho
remombranse of the parties aggrieved. NV posi
tive law stood in tho way of this substantial rollef
to the Iron manufacturers; the favor was refused
at the urgent iestanoe of Philip Clayton, tho satel
lite of Howell Oobb, both by the Seoretary of tho
Treasury and the President This, too, in the
face of tbe faot that these very contracts for
Amerloan iron, entered into by Mr. Gutbrio,
under the immediate superintendence of that
noble son of Pennsylvania, Maj. A. H. Bowman,
were chiefly instrumental in inducing a large
number of Iron-masters to vote for Mr. Buchanan,
and many more not to oppose him bitterly. The
advanoes upofi constructive delivery, solloited by
the iron manufacturers, had been made by Mr.
Guthrie, and other heads of departments, and the
refusal, uudor the oireumstanoes, could only bo
oonstracd as evidence of the hostility or indif
feronoe of tho men in power at Washington to tho
great industrial interests of Pennsylvania

A correspondent of the New York Evening Post
who has been reading “Spurgeon’s Gems,” is

Lancaster Agricultural and Jtlftclmnicul
Fair,
[Correspondence of Tbe Press ],
Lancaster, Oot. 7, 1858.
Mb. Editor : Thursday, the third day of the l
fair, opened in the morning by an exhibition and
parade on the track, of horses and other live Btook*
The array was grand and Imposing. Early in the
morning a heavy rain eommonaed falling, and up
until nine o’clock the expectations of our citizens
were considerably dampened. But aa the hour of
ton approached the clouds began to broak away;
and while I am writing thorp is every prospect of
a dear sky, The traok for the trial of the speod
Dfhorsos is in exoellent condition, and this after
noon a lively time is expected. The dust, which
yesterday was almost intolerable, is completely
settled, and the balance of the week, we have no
doubt, will be spont by tho visiters in 000 l com
fort.
The various departments of the exhibition ere
well filled. The mechanical department presents
many fine specimens of ingenuity, and the floral
and vegetable are riohly supplied with the pro
ducts of our fine county. The Hall of Fine Arts is
decorated with eyldenoes of the taste and skill of
our citizens, both male and female, and is an ob
ject of much attraction. The Btook on exhibition
is suoh as might be expeoted of Lancaster county;
deoidedly some of the finest I ever saw. par
tloulars I will give you in a subsequent eomaftMit
oation.
The president of this association is Joseph
Konigmakor, Esq., the woli-known and gentle
manly proprietor of the Ephrata Mountain Springs,
and tho managers are S. P. Spenoor, S. W. Beecher,
A. K. Bowers, Mark Connell, Jr., and Morris
Hoopes. These gentlemen have spared no pains
to make this fair alike oroditablo and beneficial to
the oounty of Lancaster. The sooiety. under their
auspices, has grown up, during the short time it
has had an ezistenoc, into one equal to any other
in the State. When we oonsidor'that it only ob
tained its charter at tho last term of theeburt.
and may be said to be only permanently organized
for a few months, it has far exoeeded thoir expec
tations The fair of lost year was only an experi
ment, and resulted in a loss to tho stockholders;
but now, as it has been fairly put to sea, with sails
well spread, we anticipate favorable winds and a
prosperous voyage. The spectators arc at this
time thronging into the fair grounds, and several
thousand are already present.
This fino agricultural region we know will be
greatly improved by tbe support of an agipatailon
of this kind. Our oltizens feel an interest fil its
prosperity beyond anything whioh have ever been
organized in their midst, and wc has reason to
believe, from present prospecte. that tho asseei&t’on
will oontinue to enlarge the space of its inflaeneo,
and that each returning year will add additional
interest to its grand and imposing exhibitions.

Extensive forgery of Tnrkish Paper
liloney*
[From the N. 7. Evening Post of yesterday.}
J. Hosford Smith, Turkish consul at this port,
yesterday mado an affidavit before tho Mayor, in
whioh he testified that ho hod received a despatch
from his Government, informing him that Mrs. Be
vastri, nnder tho assumed name of Madame Faif
man, a Moldavian, had arrived In Constantinople
with six hundred thousand “ caimes,” or pieoes of
paper money, of the value of twent/piastrespaoh,
and that, upon her examination by the authori
ties it appeared that this counterfeit money was
printed for hor in this city, by one Harrison, No.
80 Duane street. f
On this affidavit a warrant was Issued, and Wm.
L. 6. Harrison, with eight journeymen printers
and boys, was brought to tho Mayor’s pfiloe. (Mr.
Harrison gavo up tne dies, and caimet in his pos
session. They resemble in shape the old Conti
nental bills, hut are somewhat larger.
Mr. Harrison olalms to have done the work open
ly, without any intent to defraud. A woman
sneaking broken English called upon him some
time sinoe with a gonuine caime, as he supposes,
and asked if he oould got up suoh a bill. He
thought it was a label, or something of the sbrt,
and m good faith got up a fae-stmue, and openly
printed tbe bills. When too woman was about to
leave she informed Harrison that her funds were
exhausted, and gave him a note of $3OO for tho
balance duo him.
Mr. Harrison was held to bail in the sum of
$2,000.
Tho woman who was circulating this money, in
Turkey was first suspooted from tho faot that she
paid a custom-house offioer too liberally for over
seeing her baggage.
Whon she was searohed, tho bills wore found in
trunks with falso bottoms, and in a mattross.
Tho counterfeit is pronounoed perfect by Turks
who have aeon it here. It is the only paper cur
rency in Turkey, and, being without dato or num
ber, would undoubtedly havo passed without ques
tion. *
Tbe bill Is on Imperial groon papor, a oolor hold
sacred in Turkey, whioh the Government alone is
permitted to use.
On the top and sides of tho bill are the following
words in Turkish:
“To bo paid to the boater, without Interest,
twenty piastres.”
At the top of the note is the Sultan’s toga, sur
rounding whioh is a quotation from tho JSorab.
Underneath are the words : “Twenty piastres, pa-
Eer money, to be used in tho plaoe of gold, at tho
lank of Constantinople.”
At the base of the note is tho seal of the mint,
and on tbe book the seal of tho Minister of tho
Treasuro.
The toga isfeonsidered sacred, and is guarded by
the three highest offioiala in the mint whose sold
duty it is to watoh it.
Mr. Harrison was examinod this forenoon. Tbe
Tarhish consul and a Turkish gentleman were pre
sent. They expressed the opinion that this is tbo
beginning of a movement to flood the oountry with
tbo false money, and would have ruined tbe cur
rency had it not been detootod.
The Distrlot Attorney and Mayor were of opin
ion that Mr. Harrison printed the bills in good
faith, without knowing for what they were in
tended, and he was aooordingiy discharged.
Until rooently the penalty for uttering base
money in Turkey was death. It is now imprison
ment.
Sentimental. —There is a purplo half to
the grape, a yellow and crimson half to tho poach,
a sunny half to tho globe, and a better half to
man.

A Martin Rally at Broad and Rage
Stbbbts —Last night one of tbe larg* st and best politi
cal demonstrations of the present campaign, was made
by tbe friends of George H Martin, Esq., at tho cor
ner of Broad and Raco streets, in tbe Tenth ward.
No'wltbetanding the inolement vreathor, the atten
dance was immense, and the enthusiasm unbounded.
Mr Wflliam Dunn, in a speech of porno length, and
much ability, advocated the claims of Mr. Martin to the
consideration of tbe good and true men of all parties,
and clearly showed how the past history of the nominee
entitled him to a tr umphaut election.
Mr. Dunn was questioned a* to the ex&'t political
position of Mr Martin, and the replies of the speaker,
straightforward as they were, received great and pro
longed applause. A high tribute was paid to Douglas
ana his followers, anl those who seek to denounce him
were branded as worse’ban traitors. Democracy, the
speaker urged, could flourish on account of its records
of tbe past, and Its glorious d-eda of the present. It
needed tbe services of Douglas Wise, and Foroey,
and though some were insane enough to abuse these
men, who had grown gray in the Democratic
ranks, still the party was under obligations to them
that it would never be able fu'ly to repay. The speaker
continued at much length, and was greeted at frequent
Intervals with enthusiastic cheers. The efforts ot this
young aud el'quent speaker have been attended with
the best results. He breathes the right spirit, and
knows how to utter his honest opiniess without even
the slightest regard to those professed Democrats, tbe
bulk of whose speeches are made op of personal slang
and vituperation.
We learn tbatthe friends of Mr Martin are present
ing an unbroken front, and they deem his eleotion a
matter of certainty.
Coroner’s Inquests.—An inquest was hold
yesterday, by Coroner Fenner. In the case of Mrs. Eliza
beth Brown aged 48 years, who died suddenly, at her

An inquest was also held upon the body of Thomas
Ileley. who was reported to have committed suicide.
The deceased was in the habit of taking lar*e quantities
of laudanum for medioioal purposes, and on Thursday
night swallowed an ovordose. He was about 45 years of
Bge, and leaves a fumlly, residing at No 630 Pine
street. The jury rendered a veroict in accordance with
tbe facts.
The Second Congbessional District.— Tho
friends of George H Martin, Erq., tbe Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Second district, are making
the most vigorous efforts to secure his eleotion Mr.
Martin has always been a public-spirited citizen, and his
friends are to be found among the good men of alt par
ties, If eleoted. he will do honor to Philadelphia, ard
wil* be faithful to her every Interest On Thursday
night, an enthusiastic mass meeting of the Democracy
of tbe Seoond Congressional district was held at the
corner of Tenth and locust afreets, in the Eighth ward.
Resolutions highly complimentary to Mr Martin were
submitted, and were unanimously adopted. Eloquent
and able speeches were made by Mr. William Dunn, of
the Ninth ward. J. Cooke Loogstreth, J. H. Markland,
and ethers. The Democracy, when they havo good and
true men aa their Btandard-boarers, are invincible.

Between 11 o’clook Thursday night and 8 yesterday

A Eon, at No. 318 South Second Btreet, was entered by
burglars and robbed of trimmings, fringes, sewing riiks,
and other goods, amounting to $6OO, and perhaps more.
The entry was effected by cutting out a panel in the
back door, dr iwing bock the bolts, and catting tbe keep
er of tbe lock. The thieves bad got other goods ready
to carry off, hut were frightened off by the ringing of an
alarm bell in the store.
The e won a light burniog in the store at the time of
tho robbery, and a small iron grating in the front door
called a “thief detector,” but they did not avail on this
occasion.

good their escape. The gentleman was picked up and
conveyed to the drug store of Dr. Nebinger, in the

Zaifener, having been ascertained to be intended for
fraudulent purposes, and tho undoraigned having been
unwittingly used by her in printing the same, I hereby
deliver and relinquish tho same to Daniel 7. Tiemann,
as a justice of tho peaoe and Mayor of the city of New
York, to be hended over to tbo Turkish Government,
or to be otherwise disposed of.
0. L. B. Harrison, No 82 Duano street.
It has been agreed to put the following property
in tho Shoo and Leather Bank, soaleu with tho
Mayoralty and Turkish seals, to await the action
of tho Ottoman Government:
38 plates copper
20 seals of tho Minister of tho Treasury.
20 “Toombs” or signatures of tho Sultan.
Mr. Sedfayhen, a Turk, thought tho counterfeit
was a most perfect one, and would not have boon
deteotod, as there has novor boon known to bo any
counterfeit monoy in tbe Ottoman empire, tbo
<* Toorah” being kept aaorod. There is no cur
rency used but gold and this kind of paper money.
The value of a “oaime” in Amoncan ourronoy
is eighty oents, consequently tbe whole amount
takon in tho bands of Madaino Zuifoner would bo
equivalent to about $480,000.
Tho “oaimes” found on Mr. Harrison’s promi*.
ses wore those abe had dcoided to beimporfeot. Yot
Mr. SedrayhonandMr. Osoanyon—Turks—thought
they wore good counterfoils, and complimented
Mr. Harrison for tbolifperfeotion.
The punishmont in tho Ottoman Empire, for tho
crime of forgery, usod, some timo slnoo, to bo
death, tbo oriminal bolding tbe countorfoits in
thoir hands at tbe time of exocation. It is thought
that Madaino Zaifouor’s punishment will be fifteen
years’ imprisonment.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Money Market.
Philadelphia, October 8,1868.
Stocks were rather firmer to-day, and the transac
tions comparatively heavy. Reading Railroad stock
recovered from the decline of yesterday, and sold at
24i£ } and Pennsylvania Railroad stock closed at 46.
City fixes improved a fraction. The fancy stocks felt
{he goode fleets of the improved tone of the market.
The money market ie not ohanged, and the difficulty
of finding profitable and safe Investment for surplus
capital in paper is leading many to turn their atten
tion to real estate securities. We hear of several
sales or Qrst-olass mortgages at advanced rates, while
tho leading conveyancers are all busy effecting trans
fers of houses, stores, and building lots.
The Bulletin says that private sales of tho bonds of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company have been riftde at
86 per cent, showing a considerable advance over
former rates. •
The Union Bank of Tennessee has made a dividend of
5 per cent., payable' on demand at the Philadelphia
Bank.

The telegraph reports that a dangerous counterfeit
of the Bank of the Btate of New York has just appeared
In New York eity. Twenties, vig. an Indian girl
seated, leaning her arm on a rock, and looking at rail
road cars and steamboat, and city in the distance; oval
picture of ft locomotive oq the right end of the bill,
with twenty above it. Unlike the genuine, whioh has
for vignette two females.
Among the latest tricks of the counterfeiting frater
nity is that of getting the notes of a broken concern In
Nebraska, called tbe Waubeck Bank, which"tbey rea
dily alter to make fair imitations of the bills of a num
ber of the New England banks. This fraud is, pro
bably, perpetrated at or near Albany, and alterations to
resemble notes of the People’s Bank, of Roxbury
Granite Bank, of Boston, and the Market Bank, of
Boston, have already been put in circulation and de
tected.

(Correspondence of The Press.]
A new and very dangerous counterfeit 320 bill on the
Bank of the State of New York haa just been put In
circulation. The following is a description: Vignette
represents an Indian girl seated, leaning her arm on a
rock, looking at railroad cars, steamboat, and city In
the distance. On the right end is an oval picture of a
locomotive, and the figures 20 above it. It Is unlike the
genuine, which has two females for a vignette. The
above is Altered from a note of some broken bank, but
is extremely well done
Yours truly, Gwnwx A Day, New York.
Weekly Review of the'

The rfiovements In produce since our last review

stents, and BreadatutTs close dull at former quoUtions,
Bye Floor and Corn Meal being the only articles In
quired for. Baric has been in request at a farther ad.
vance, but buyers are now out of the'market Coal Is
dull, and prices about tbe same. Cotton has been in
moderate request at former rates. In Coffee, Sugar,'
and Molasses there has been a fair trade doing, and
prices, particularly for tbe former, are better. Hemp
and Hides no change. . Iron—There has been
very little -doing, but prices are without change,
head Is firmer. Lumber has been very dull.
Naval Stares of all descriptions come forward
more freely. Io Oils there is no change. Pias- <

CITY ITEMS.
Philadelphia Baptist Association.—A most
Interesting part of the anniversary proceedings of this
association was their, meeting, at the Bpruce-street
Ohurob, on Thursday evening. The hour was devoted
exclusively to concert and prayer. After singing the
hymn commencing
<( Happy the heart where graces reign,”
and a prayer by the Rev. William Watkioson, of Mana
yunk, the meeting was thrown open for general partici
pation, in the course of which several thrilling revival
incidents were elicited. Of the clergymen who took
p*rt iu making addresses, we noticed the Rev. Dr. Dow-.
liDg, of New York; Rev. John A. McKean, of this city;
Rev. William Austta of the Monongahela Association;
Rev. Mr. Warren, ot the American Baptist Missionary
Union ; and Rev. Mr. Day, of the Broad-street Church
The Broad-street Baptist Church, Broad and Brown
streets, has been chosen for the meeting-place of the
one hundred and fifty-second anniver. ary of the asso.
elation; the Rev. Howard Malcolm has been selected to
prepare the circular letter for the next annual meeting,
and the Rev. Henry Day to preach the annual sermon.
The association closed its sessions yesterday.
Great Economy in Coal —Wo understand that
Mr. J. S Clark, No.-10C8 Market street, above Tenth,
the present owner of a celebrated Improved patent
stove, invented by Mr. J. Silver, Is prepared to give
four thousand references to prove that sixty per cent
of coal has been saved throughout an entire winter by
using these admirable ceal air-tight gas consuming
stoves. He has recently improved this stove by placing
inside a retort, wbich adds largely to the combustion
of the carbon gas, without any danger of filling up the
holes as In other stoves, mado by experienced work
men. Tbis stove la also provided with an air-tight
door, which opens when it is too strong. In view of
these advantages, we think it would be good policy In
onr readers who are in want of stoves to call at 1008
Market street before purchasing. As already stated,
Mr. J. S. Clark ia now the owner of both the invention
and the recent improvements made upon it.
GreJt Day Among the Ladies. —A fair Satur
day, at this particular season, is alwajß sure to flood
with customers all retail stores, the merchandise of
which are of a rcady-to-vse character. Especially is
this true where the articles sold ate intended for the
ladles; nod now, in view of this, If the day proves plea
sant, what a bußy time our millinery folks will have be
fore it is over. Unfortunately, the opening day ”of
our friends, Messrs Lidcoln, Wood & Nichols, No. 46
South Second street, (Thursday,) was not propitious,
though, as we have since learned, the additional two
days well employed in bringing out such other
additions as will make their display to-day worthy of
every lady’s attention in the land.

M. Rector, of Arkansas, has been settled by the

the last goner&l election in Arkansas, in a bar
room, in Little Rock, wo believe, denounced Rust
in very insulting terms. Rust, having beard of
it, addressed a note toßeotor, demanding a retrac
tion, Ac. Rector replied that what be bad said
aboat Hast was provoked by what be under
stood Rust had raid about .him, and declined
to make an unconditional retraction. Bast re
joined th&t, not .knowing wb&t was tbe etiquette
in that case, and being careless about it at any
rate, he would state that he had never uttered
insulting language in regard to Reetor, and could
see no impropriety in then saying so. To this Reo
tor, under tbe decision of four referees, answered
that his insulting language about Rust was used
under misapprehension, .was uncalled for, Ac.
Qaite a sensible, 1 but rather oircumlceatery
