There were twelve or more bands in

dtmerscon Manufactured Goods in En
daisg.—The Manchester Guardian, allu•
/leg to the American manufactured goods
dealt to England, which it numbers and di
vides into their respective qualities, says:
'Although the American price of the cloth
generally approaches in cheapness to that
of similar English cloth, there is only one
sample which equals or surpasses it in that
=aspect. No. 5, a sample of very beauti
ful sod well manufactured drill, appears to
be sold in the United States at 3ad. per
yard, (English money,) with eight months
credit; whilst the corresponding English
cloth—certainly riot superior, perhaps a lit
tle inferior, in quality— is worth, at the
present time, 3i-d. Indeed, these cotton
drills appear to be a fabric to which the
American manufacturers have paid mich
attention; and we believe the greater part
of the 400 bales consigned t) Mesere. Ba

These 400 bales were offered by auction

out ofxhe whole 400 bales, only about 14

chasers, at prices varying from 6d to bid
per lb. The undamaged goods were bought
la* at prices, varying from 9a- to 10.1-d per
1h; so that the sale throws no light on the
actual valve of these American fabrics in
the English market. Upon the whole, we
feel. disposed to say that, although these
receut attempts to procure a sale for Amer
ica:l cotton goods in this country show that
a progress itat- been made in the manuface

The Great Rebber of 1841Cloght.
Fru'n letteri received by the Caledonia
it see ins probable that the great robber of
1841 has been captured.
A letter from the Consulate at London,
addressed to the late Secretary of State,
Hon. H. S. Legare, states that on the 23d
of June, a fellow was arrested named John
S. Clinton, at the instance of Baring Bro..
there, & Co., for attempting to dispose of
three of the Treasury Notes which had
been advertised as stopped at the U. States
Treasury as far back as the Spring of 1841,
The letter adds that the culprit is probably
the notorious forger, who by altering cer•
tificates of deposite, procured by him of the
Commercial Bank at New Orleans, about
the 20th of March, 1841, soon after de
frauded of much' larger sums, the Bank of
Kentucky at Louisville, some persons in
Cincinnati, the Cashier of Girard Bank, in
this city, and Messrs. Little & Co., of New
York.
That person passed under the names of
Roger Dawson, Matthew Diaper,
Britton, and Parker. If we are not
mistaken, however. Cul. Edwards was i.
dentified as the swindler in most of these
cases. The felow suspected in the west
was represented to have a blemish in one
of his eyes, and a letter to a N. Y. broker
states that Clinton is about 38 years old,
slender, dark complexion, black hair a little
gray, dark eyes and a defect in one, probe
ably a glass eye, as six were f mud at his
lodgings. It says there is no doubt of his
being an American. At his lodgings the
officers fonnd traced on papers, a fac aim
ilie of the signatures of many American
cashiet tt, and also the acceptance of Baring,
Brothers & Co.
The three Treasury notes alluded to,
were originally made payable to C. W.
Beebee. The rogue however ob:iterated
that name, (by some chemical process,
which has nearly defaced the red engine
work impression on the backs of the Trea.
sury notes,) and the name of J. Muhleu
burg has been substituted.
The remaining five of the notes speci
fied in the list, together with four others,
were sent by Clinton through the Union
Bank of London, on the 3rd of June last,
to Messrs. Pickerel & Co., of New York
for collection.
Another Treasury note for 675 13 212,
payable to C. Maedister, was also t3ken
from Clinton.
Clinton has been thrown into prison for
forgery. It seems that there were found
also at his lodgings, the signatures of all
the signers of the Treasury notes no tracing
paper, with the signature of Mr.
ter, of this city, and one signature perfect
by mutilated, so that there cannot be a
doubt but his business is that of a forger

One of the most extraordinary cases of a sync
1.. f forgeries, committed by a merchant of this ci.
ty, in large business, and said to be wealthy, was
elicited to-day in an ex hilination before the Police
Court of this city.
The Batty charged was Mr. Charles Cole, Jr.,

wharf, and who resides in n s:itandid br ek ruin

the Rev. Mr. Young'r, in Summer ht. It is said
that he has generally had plenty of money at
command, and it was not long sin , e that he put
in, as silent pa:tner, the sum or $17,000 into the
firm of Kettell & Collins, 55 Commercial street.
He was foemerly President of the Mechanic's
Bank, South Baston, a Director o: the Freeutan'ar
and occupied several other positions of a high
mercantile character. He is about 45 years of
age, a man of plain appearance, and having the
appearance of an industrious, driving and active
merchant.
He was arrested by officer Tai 7 al): last night,on
a charge of attempting to cheat and defraud the
Massachusetts Bank in State street, of several I
sums of money by forging the names of respecta
ble merchants to several notes as is gnera or endor
sers, which notes were offered by Cole and disc
counted at the Bank.
Previous to this, and on yesterday ,Sheriff Free
man was put into his house with a writ of attach
ment covering the sum of $50.000, on a civil suit
of the Bank, far the same transactions—the a
mount of the forged paper being about €3OOO.
He appeared in Court this morning with his
counsel, Richard Robbins, Eau., and seemed much
cast down and dejected. There was also one
transaction of the same character with the Mar-,
km. Bank. Sa:ne of the officers of the Maasach th
setts B ink were present. Some of the individuals
whose names were forged, who testified to the
false character of the paper, and that it was left
for discount by Mr. Cole. Israel Lombard,Direc.
tor, James Dodd, Cashier of the Massachusetts
Bank, and Jona. Brown, Jr., Cashier of the Mar
ket Bank,and Samuel Mansur, merchant,l9 South
Market street, whose signature was forged, were
present and gave evidence. Samuel D. Parker,
Esq ,County Attorney, appeared for the Common:.
wealth.
The forged paper lying lc t' e Massachusetts
Bank was as follows: One note $492,16, purport.
ing to be signed by SamnA Mansur, and endor
sed by Cole, dated 14th February, 1843, payable
seven months , after date. On this charge he was
bound over to appear in this Court on the 29th
inst., in the sum of $2OOO.
One note purporting to be signed by Edward D
Peters & -Co., merchants, Central wharf, fur $5OO,
dated July 17,1843, payable in 4 months. Bound
over to the Municipal Court on the Ist Monday of
August in $2OOO.
One note purporting to be signed by Winsor
Fay, India wharf, for $l2OO, payable in 4 months
and dated May 6, 1843. Bound over to seine

, 1843, payable in 6 months from date.
Bound over to same Court in $2OOO. The
whole amount of bonds it will be seen is $9000.
He is said to have other paper out.
As to the origin ofthe present investigation,eirs
cam bium of suspicion occurred in the Massa
chusett Baok in relation to the Peters' note, and
Mr. Lombard took it yesterday afternoon to Mr.
Cole, who, on a close question'ng acknowledged
the note to be forged— :lad thus attention was di
rected to the other paper.
No cause is given for this strange conduct, and
the act seems to be one of sheer madness aid fol

TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1843
(The Spirit of the Age appears to
think that many of the petty thefts that
have been committed in our city, were the
acts of persons driven to desperation by
the want of the actual necessaries of life,
and that if they bad labor to procure the
means to live they would not be dishonest.
Perhaps the Age is right, but we think it
must be known to every one that our laws
provide ample means for the relief of the
poor and that none need suffer if they will
make their wants known in the proper
quarter. If thepfficers appointed to attend
to etch matters neglect their duty or heart
lessly refuse to relieve the destitute, there
are ways and means to compel them, and
as a last resource, an appeal to the well
known sympathies of our citizens is always
sure to bring aid and comfort to the poor.
We cannot believe that it is necessary for
any honest poor man to resort to robbing
cellars and pantries to get food for his fem.
ily. There are but few tint are disposed
to labor, who cannot find employment at
the present season, and if there should be
any so unfortunate as not to have sufficient
labor to maintain their families, there are
many honest ways by which they can seek
relief without resorting to stealing.
Our social system may have many evils,
but we think that holding them forth as an
apology for the midnight deeds of thieves
and house breakers, is the worst mode that
can be adopted to relieve the community
of such evils. The greatest evil that we
know of, is the skill with which these
thieves carry on their depredations,and the
cunning with whiei they avoid detection.
Our co temporary wants a radical:reform is
the social system, and we believe the best
way to commence that reform, is to mete
out to thieves the deserts of thieves,and not
to encourage them in their misdeeds; by
making the distress of honest poor mot an
apology for the misconduct of house break
ers.
MASONIC DISCLOSURES.—About the time
the blue nose Convention was
,held, it was
stated in several of the papers that some
awful disclosures of the secrets of the lodge,
had been made by a high mason, including
the songs and toasts that were customary
at their convivial gatherings. It was the
desire of the retiouncirr4 mason that his
disclosures should be made Rublie, for the
benefit of the world; and to ensure their
publication, he gave the information to N.
B. Craig, Esq. late editor of the Gazette,
and at present the blue nose ca diciate for
CongreSs, whose antimasonic zeal was sup
posed to be more ardent than that of any
other man in the county. The public has
waited long and patiently fur Mr Craig to
bring forth these disclosures. We know
that his time has been pretty much engros
sed in replying to the letters of Mr Brack
enridge, but as he has never yet made the
1 least reference to the disclosures, the . songs
or the toasts in any of his publications, the
impression is abroad that he intends to sup
press them er.ifely, and thus deprive the
world in general, and the antimasonic par
ty in particular, of some very important
information respecting the 'bloody lodge.'
Tbis is outrageous, and the blue noses
should not stand it. If Mr Craig will not
publish the disclosures made to him,it may
well be supposed that he has no sincere
friendship for the antimasonic cause, and
that he is endeavoring to propitiate the ma
sons by suppressing some startling disclo•
sures as to the doings of the lodge. It would
be well for the country antimasons to en
-1 quire into this matter, or they may discover
1 when it is too late, that they have been
supporting a secret agent of the 'blood
stained institution.'
Death for want of Food.—The Mobile
Register has a report of a coroner's jury
upon the death of a female named Lou
La , rd. She was a poorwidow,in bad health;
having a sickly child of five or six years of
age—both of them, it is supposed, having
suffered from the want of proper food, as
well as from exposure. The poor woman
it appeared, had slept the night previous in
an old mill in the lower part of the city;
and her stomach was found on examination
quite empty. Wheu she reached ate
house at which she died, she was unable
to articulate distinctly, and had been there
but a short time before she fell from her
seat and expired.
Minister to Brazil.—We learn, says the
Norfolk Beacon of yesterday, that official
information has been received here that the
Hon. George M. Proffit will take passage
in the United States ship Levant, Commo•
dore Page, which vessel is expected to sail
in about a fortnight for Rio de Janeiro.

to write democracy down, and made his
first demonstration in the Gazette of pa.
terday under the signature of "Stiff Bit."
Poor Mr Craig, he will find that the Dem
ocrats are a "good bit too stiff" to be sha
ken in their determination to knock the
noise out of the blue noses, by any of his
efforts. They will attend to their own bu
siness, and do it properly, and in accom
plishing that it will be found tbat they have
prevented antimasonry from "saddling"
the district with such a blind-bridled rep
resentative as N. B. Craig.
Practical Association.—The N. Y. Sun
says:—"Some years ago, Mr Joshw Hol
brook, the founder of Lyceums in this
country, projected the establishment of a
village, up(' the Lyceum plan in matters of
education, b.,t upon the principle of a joint
stock company in matters of property, en
suring to each family or individual all the
independence incident to separate or per.
sonal effort. We now learn that the peo •
ple of this village (the Lyceum Village,
near Cleveland, Ohio,) have steadily pro.
greased in the accumulation of wealth.—
What was at first nothing but a wilderness
tract of land, has been converted into a
fertile farm, producing an abundance fur
the supply of all the wants of the inhabi
tants, and yielding, in addition, an annual
income of fourteen per cent. upon the capi.
tal invested in the land by the stockhold.

nually increased in value, as buildings have
been constructed, and the laud improved."

The editor of the New York Sun spec.
ulster as follows on the future. Many of
our readers way rationally expect to con
tinue dwellers upon earth fur forty years,
and to them the following predictions wilt
be interesting:
In 1883, we shall see added to the Amer
ican Union, ten new States, and settle , -
ments will extend to the Rocky Monti-.
ains, with a considerable population in
Oregon. This vast extent of country will
be cultivated by a population of ninety mil
lions of free, intelligent people—such a
nation of men and women as the Sun has
never shone upon.
The city of New York will have a pop
ulation of more than one million, and lines
of packets, propelled by machinery so
much improved, that the passage to Eng..
land will be made in four or five days,
startinl every day, and the fare not exceed
ing twenty dollars.
With all this immense population on the
sea-board the most populous and powerful
portion of the Union will be the Valley of
the Mississippi, to same city of which the
seat of Government will be removed, while
the present national buildings at Washing.

Our trade with the whole world will
have increased in ntorortion, al , d about
this time, the Cuing trade, having become
of immense importivice, through the di -
plomatic intercourse about to be opened
by Nlr Cushing, will be carried on by i n
mense steam-ships. act, the Pacific 0-
ceau, and uo the Oregon river, across the
mountains by a rail-road, and so down the
Mississippi, to St. Louis, the probable
great centre of trade.
Those who shall, forty years hence, look
over the file of the New York Sun, for
1843, will be more astonishei at the truth
of these predictions, than are many now at
their app trent extravagance.
One of the convicts in the Auburn prison
lately managed to change his dress for a
suit of citizen's clothing; and after taking
a turn or two through the yard, walked up
to the door, w.tl: all the sangfroid imagi.
Liable, and signified to the turnkey, by a
smile and a nod of the head as visiters u
sually do, that he had taken a sufficient
view of the premises and wished to be off.
The door was accordingly thrown open,
and tipping his beaver very gracefully to
the turnkey, with the remark that "he inc,
tended visiting the prison to morrow in
company with some ladies," the convic
deliberately marched up the street, and ha
not been heard of since.
The late Dr. Southey,—The sale of the
household furniture; plate, and part of the
library of the late Dr. Southey, was very
numerously and respectably attended. In
the course of the sale, many very spirited
competitions took place; on which occa
sion, as it is usually the case, the article
competed for brought a price far beyond
that of its intrinsic worth. In one instance
an old screen, used by the late Laurete at
college, which was not worth more than a
few shilliegs, became an object of keen
competition between two members of the
deceased's family, and was eventually
knocked down at eleven guineas.

the present aspect of commercial affairs. The

Seem. —lt is a fact, established by all expe

banish the precious metals from our country. The
quantity of specie now :n the United States is
nearly double what it was when the charter of the
Bank of the United States expired. Scarcely a

a large amount of the precious metals. It is flow•

about $5,000 000, and there will probably be about
$5,000,000 more received before the imports are
closed for the year. These sums together make
830,000,000. Who, when this state of things ex

to deprive labor of its hard earnings, and fatten on
the wealth of toilsome industry? The people are
beginning to understand this subject covertly.

'WE MUST HAVE BANKS !'—This was the lan

without banks was an Impossibility, as the cour.-

have become brisk, and the farmers are able to
