The draft was drawn in faser .of Dre Lukens, of the Dental ,College, and was ob. teased by one of, the defendants, who .was in. the halite& going to the post office and oolleoting the letters directed to parties at the college. The draft was payable at the Exchange Bank, New York, where it was 'presented, and after, acme objection was paid. The name of Dr. Lukens was counter feitwi, on the back of the paper, by one of the de fendants. The one who, drew it from the post office forwarded it to his companion, who suooesiod in basing it cashed: When t h e matter came to the knowledge of the - postmaster; efforts were at once made to have the guilty parties arrested. One of them, it was ascertained, was at the seat of war, enlisted in the Federal army. After considerable delay and difficulty, he was arrested and sent on to this city. ,Ehweral witnesses were examined yester day, but owing to the absence of one or two im portant witnesses, the case was adjourned for a few days. Toox NEW EltlE . -RAILROAD, COMPANY.—The property of this company is said to be in first-rate condition in every department. The company does not start free of debt, as many have supposed, but starts with the ability to meet the interest upon all classes of its mortgages prompt. Iy. Besides its mortgage debt there are two classes of claims against it. The first in interest is a balance of $377,180 of trustees' certificates of the fourth mortgage coupons; and the second, $165,672 of the same certificates made against fifth mortgage cou pons. In all, $542,832. This sum is a first lien upon the earnings of the road, and with a continu ance of the present blistness, there is a prospect of its speedy payment. The assessment scrip is to be paid next in order, and then the earnings are to be de voted to dividends upon the preferred stock. THE GHAT'S FERRY ARSENAL.—At the prevent time the different departments of the Gray's Ferry Arsenal present a very busy seem All the stork done here is pushed forward with all possible despatch, and the amount of labor per ormed in one month is astonishing. The depart._ meat under the chargoof Capt. Chas. A. Alligood hea been managed with economy and care, and many important reforms have been introduced since his appointment. The employees all speak in the highest terms of their new captain. About 900 per sons are employed at this arsenal, but, like our navy yard, the operations of the workmen are much retarded by the smallness of the grounds. ALMOST READY.—Jenks & Co., of Brides burg, have loeated most of their machinery, and will commence immediately the work of making rides. Had this firm made its arrangements two months ago it would have monopolized the manu facture of arms for the whole country. The ma chinery used is said to be very expensive, and the apparatus for-turning out gun stooks is highly unique and costly. In view of oar augmenting troubles with Great Britain, and the probable coming demand fof arms, a number of our manu facturers contemplate also entering into an ex tended manufacture of such weapons. PLOVIAL.—For the past quarter of a century the average fall of, rain per year has been 44.37 inches.

On Saturday they will hold another *mucus to nomi nate heads of departments. The number of candi dates is overwhelming. For the Chief Clerkship of Common Council, Philip Lutz and Wm. Meeser are prominent. For Select Council, Horace Martin, Emanuel Rey, J. 0. Tobias, William Curtis, and others, are mentioned. For the assistant clerk ship there appears to be also a lively contest. The reporters are quite interested in this office, as Mr. McDevitt—a prominent candidate—is one of their number. He him the beet wishes of the press gene rally.

Mr. Cullen, it will be remembered, was violently assaulted while assisting an officer to make some `arrests. His face and bead are considerably damaged, and he bee concluded that, although exe cuting the law may be a very good thing in theory, it hardly comes up to the standard in practioe. Mr. Cullen is a member of the Ellsworth' Zonavei. Cornwrzararr Ncrries.--d man named Au gustan Lawrence, bailing from Cincinnati, was arrested on Wednesday by Lieutenant Patton, upon the charge of pawing counterfeit notes.

Yesterday morning Judge Calwalader decided that the man ners were entitled to their pay, as they shipped without any knowledge of the intention on the part of the master to run the blockade. Loort To IT.—The chimney of - the building lately destroyed by die, at the corner GPl:formerly court and Hudson's alley, is in a fair way of coming down, at an early date, upon the cranium of some unfortunate paver-by. Bricks are continually fall litfrom the tell ,o and, inasmuch as hundreds of ters frequent this alley, it, is likely that if. the eager occurs more than one person will be injured. lii it nobody's duty to remove snob obetruotions ?

The number of applicants is large, and these, with their friends, crowded the building yesterday, much to the annoyance of the members of both chambers. SELECT BRANCH. Trim CUYLRU, president, la the chair. Mr. Bsztrox prorated a remonikrtmco against the lay. ing of railroad tracks on Sixteenth Street. Mr. BEMs, front the special committee in reference to establishing a line of steamships between Philadelphia and Liverpool, reported an ordinance that the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company guaranty stock of the Califor nia, Philadelphia, and European Steamship Company, enough to build one or more steamships; that any earn ings of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, accruing to the city, over and above an anneal six per cent. dirliend, be set over to sold company as security against loss on account of their guarantee of ea d clock. This resolution to remain in toes so long as their liability under said guarantee continues. Mr. Nahum was unwilling that the ordinance shoat be passed at this time, nud thought that it should be referred to the City Solicitor to inuulre into the legall. ty of the matter. Mr. DRAYTON spoke against the resolution, and urged that Councils should be cautious how they YOl.O for expenditures under the name of n improvements" to the city. These improvements wore generally nothing more than such in name. Mr. Baarow eloquently contended against tho argu ments that the member brought forward, awl allowed that it was through such reasoning that Philadelphia had long ago won its reputa•lon of being „ ono horse." After some further discussion, the matter was laid over, on 'notion of Mr. Meas.:ma - • • Mr. SMEDLEY introduced an ordinance appropriating $4,000 for the removal of mhos from the streets during January. The bill was agreed to, with a proviso, by Mr. Fox, that each supervisor report the number of loads of ashes removed, the coat paid so each party during the week, &c. Mr. Qum offered a resolution, expressing the sym pathy of Select Council for Mr. Joseph S. Riley, member from the Twenty-fourth ward, who if confined home seriously ill. Agreed to. Mr. MeTurren offered the following: Resolved, That the thanks of the Chamber aro emi nently due, and aro hereby tendered, to Theo. Cuyler, Teq., for th ei courteous, dignified, and impartial manner in which ho has discharged the duties of president of Se lect Council during the last official term, and their as surances of personal regard and cordial good wishes are respectfully tendered to him by,his fellow-members. Mr. Davis said he endorsed the resolution with all his heart, and he did not hesitate to give public testimony to the fact that Select Council bad seldom before had such an efficient president as Mr. Ceylon Mr. NEAL, in speaking upon the resolution, said there had never been In the chair of the president of Select Council one who had evinced more ability than the pre sent president. ills manners bad been courteous and agreeable to every member. • After some further speeches of a similar tenor, the resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Cirrunn thanked the members of the Chamber for their kind resolution. -During the term of his presi dency, no instance ever occurred where the Chamber ad journed without the transaction of all the basineas on the president's table. No one had violated the amenities of debate, and everything had gone on pleasantly. Ile hoped that the sundering of official ties would not be the sundering of social ties. A resolution of thanks was also tendered to the clerks and messengers of the Chamber. The bill for the removal of ashes was concurred In by the opposite Chamber, with certain amendments, which were agreed to. 'no Chamber then adjourned until Monday morning, at half oat D o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the new Councils. --COMMON COLINCIL, A communication from the Commissioner of Highways, calling the attention of Councils to the fact that the con tracts for street cleansing had expired, was rind and ordered to he laid on the table. Mr. MILLER promoted a - remonstrance from citizens of Germantown, against the purchase of 9 tot at the cor ner of Church and Dfungraso streets for a school-hoods. Tho Committee on Finance reported an ordinance to make an appropriation for the Superintendent of Trusts, which was passed. The Committee on Highways reported an ordinance, aPrreptititing $4,628 92 for street repairs fur the year 1861, which was lost after considerable discussion. The Committee en Wharves and Landings 'reported an ordinance, making an:abateineut of $1,600 in the rent of Green-street wharf. The consideration of the matter was indefinitely postponed. Mr. MEGARGEE moved that the thanks of Council be offered to Mr. ()barite B. Trego, for the impartial and efficient manner in which lie had presided over that body. Mr. Quinn sahl : I cannot deny myself the grati fication of seconding this resolution. Than the gentle. man referred to, never has any presiding officer better deserved, or bran hotter entitled to, the thanks of the members and the gratitude of the community for an ef ficient, faithful, and courteous discharge as well of the duties of prondent Council as those of a representative of the city of Philadelphia. Followed by nature by many choice gifts, he has enriched them by severe study and varied mental culture. Ills long career in public life has made the onerous duties of president to him an easy task. Familiar with every rule of parliamentary legislation, seldom, If over, has a question arisen which to him was difficult or obscure; keen to perceive, patient to bear, and prompt to decide; generally right, never over-positive; always ready, never hasty; firm, though not rigid; striet, but not severe; ever kind, still not too indulgent; careful of anther's rights and ever jealous or his owm, he always had a kind word to turn away wrath, and a ready joke to change the lowering storm into genial sunshine. Nor is it for his intelligence and capacity for the presidential chair that I prize the man so much, but more on account of that keen pomoption of right, and that intense lovo of Justice, which at once outtops and adorns all his other qualifications. he resolution was agreed to. Mr. Quinn moved that the thanks of Council bo offer ed to Mr. George F. Gordon, for the able manner In which he has conducted the business of his office. Agreed to. Mr. TREGO returned his thanks for the honor done him, and mid: In returning thanks for the compliment convoyed in the resolution which you have just passed, I am only complying with en established and usual custom. But, on the present occasion, I feel that more, much more, is due from me than a mere formal acknowledgment of the honor which you have thus conferred upon me. Ae your presiding officer I hare much else to thank you for. Your indulgence of my errors, your acquiescence in my decisions, and lour uniform kindness, oaurtesy, awl sup. port,. will be long remembered with a gratitude and thankfulness which the heart can feel but which words cannot express. And on this our final separation, per mit me to assure you that I entertain towards each and all of you the kindest feelings of personal respect and regard. MaYlour future lives be prosperous and happy, and may that merciful Being who watches over us all, guide, Prttect, and preserve you in his holy keeping. Mr Hann moved that the thanks of Council be offered to Colonel Wm. F. Small. Agreed to. The bill from Select Connell in regard to the collection of ashes from the streets during the months of January and February was taken up and agreed to. Adjourned sine die.
