On the counterfelt the number of the note is larger and less brilliant in color than the genuire. The imprint of the American Bank Note Company ut the top is also larger, the donble rule running from it is heavier, and tha terminal curve twice as large, while there isa diagonal shading at the joint of the imprint with the rule, which dees not appear in the genuine. On the right end of the back of the bill the “100” in the circles are inverted thus ot? Inthe genuine the « 100” in the circies on the leftend reads thus: +(01;” in the coun. they are thus: «100. The ontside circle 100 in the lower leit corner of the genuine tonches the lower border: in the counterfeit it dors not come within one sixteenth of an inch. The paper is also heavier and somewhat greasy in the counterfeit, and there are other slight differences, but the spnrious bill is so well execuied that several Wall street brokers ex- changed it without hesitation. TROUBLE IN UHINA—Serious Riot and Atiack on Missionaries.—A letter dated Fuh Chau, China, Jan. 22, which we find published in the Times of India, gives an account of some se- rious difficulties which had jus: occurred in thatcity. The trouble originated in the natives making noisy demonstrations against the mi sionaries by interrupting the religious servi Some of those guilty of these outrages were arrested at the instance of the missionagies, and the natives, excited at this action, attacked @ native missionary and malireated him out- rageously. Afterward they attacked the chapel of the Methodist Mission, then thatof the Epis copal Mission, and atterward thatof the Amer- ican Board. No injury seems to have been done to the persons of the foreign missionaries, aithough the wives of the native missionaries were outraged. At last accounts quiet bad been restored, and the foreign Consuls had taken measures to bring the offenders to justice. OPENING OF THB GREAT Farr in New York.
