The baggage master as! him to open the trunks, which he refused to do, and there ‘was no proof that the goods had been stolen as alleged, beyond Galmiche’s own word. Mr. CarniGan admitted that the charges of robbery were quite frequent, but did not think they amounted to much.

Yesterday Sergeant Brown and officer Keefe, of the Chief's office, succeeded in making a very important ar- rest and seizure of about $85,000 or $40,000 in counterfeit bills on the Union Bank of Providence, Rhode Island, and the Union Bank of Swanton Falls, Vermont. On Tucsday morning the above named officers received some infor- mation rogarding the residence of a forger named J. 3. Cowaden. Plans were laid for bis arrest, and yesterday they were successfully carried inte operation. The police repaired to the third story of No. 82 Duane street, where Cowsden had an office for carrying on the business. Without much ceremony they opened the door and se- cured their man, On searching the premises counterfeit bills sufficient to fill a bushel basket were diseovered se ereted in various parts of the room. A printing press, 0 couple of rollers, a number of dies, stamps, and othe articles necessary for counterfeiting were also seized. ‘The contraband property, together with the prisoner were immediately taken to the Chief's office in the Park Here Cowsden was committed to prison for examination by Justice Brennan. ‘The counterfeit upon the Union Bank of Providence, R. 1, is a beautiful specimen of engraving. The bill is un- like the genuine in vignette, &c., but it was meant by the engraver ho repesaaes a new issue, as the date of the fill- ing pe , 1856. The signatures of the President and Cashier are exceedingly well executed, and are cal culated to deceive most persons, The following is a fac simile of this new counterfeit:— Deca react ta saaeeMGOanee Tux Presipxnt, THE UNION BANK Dingcroxs $09. of: poner ¢Cicserre, Ruope Isnaxp Willpay fLikeness of on demand gieencaepnenrmeneng the late ai ‘Ktcroliencttciedy 6to } present § the bearer 5 bs on} Five jen!

Only $350 of the above counterteit was discovered, show ing evidently that it had just been prepared for cir- culation, and had not yet been pushed into the market to any extent. The counterfeit on the Union Bank of Swan- ton Falls, Vermont, is a ciose imitation of the above coun- terfeit, but it was in an unfinished state. The same plate was evidently used for both counterfeits. About seven or eight thousand of these bills, making an aggregate of nearly $40,000, was seized by’ the police. e ‘stoi’? lacked a good deal of finish, and would have had to have gone through «@ finisher’s hands before any utten:pts to put it iato circulation were made. But very few of the counterfeits on the Union Bank of Providence were put into circulation. The descent of the police was, therefore, a lucky occurrence for any number of shop keepers and green grocery men. Ina few days the city and the surrounding suburbs would be flooded with the trash, and many persons would be made to suifer in con. sequence, but fortunately for the public the arrest of tue alleged torger and the seizure of ail bis spurious bil!s and counterfeiting apparatus has prevented such a heavy fraud being committed, Cowsden, itis supposed, has accomplices in the busi- ness, for, in my ch confession of his guilt, he says that he has in the habit of manufacturi counterfeit bills for over a yoar past, aud al- ways had ready sale for em at he rate or ten and filteen cents each. The officers are vow endeavoring to ferret out a person keep- ing an office somewhere in Nassau street, who has been in the habit of finishing bills tor Cowsden. The lat- ter, it appears, did the rough “work, while the former put the Unisbing stroke to the article. A set of plates {or altering counterfeits from one bark to another was also discovered, and seized upon. The officers in this case are entitled to much credit for the successful man- ner in which they accomplished no ordinary task. Cowsden is a Western man, hailing from Ohio. He is about thirty-five years of age, and is not bad looking in appearance, According to his own contorsion, he must have been the means of putting an enormous quantity of counterfeit bills iato circulation in this 4 and through out the entire country. The name of Messrs. Tappan, Carpenter & Co. is forged to these bills, so as to give them the appearance of gonuine bills in every respect. Competent judges of money Lave pronounced the forgery upon the Providence Bank one of the best specimeas of bank note engraving they ever handied. Third District Police Court. DECISION IN THE CASE OF GARVIE V8. HANNA. Before Justice Wood. Ivry 9.—On the 2th day of May Mr. James Garvie pre ferred a complaint belore me, charging that he had been cefrauded of a large amount of property by William § Hanna. A warrant was issved for Hanna’s arrest, and upon his being brought before me he offered gy his coun- sel to waive an examination. Believing it, however, to be a magistrate’s duty, whenever the ends of public jus tice seem t> require it, to ferret out crime aad to piace ali the facts before the Grand Jury for their action, and re garding the present as acase in which it was evidently proper to endeavor to elicit all information that could be obtained, I declined the offer of counsel and proceeded to examine such witnesses as I could ascertain to be in possession of any knowledge in the premises, The result of the examination may be brietly stated -— It app: ars that the accused is a mechanic in the humble sphere of life, and possersed of no pecuniary means, re. siding, with bis wife and three children, inthe third story of a tenement hose tn Lewis street, in Unis city. and dé pending op iis daily mbor for the support of his family; and previous to the time he procured the trausfer of the property hereinafter mentioned the ‘mily were poorly clad, aud that “Garvie, the complai gave them Quney to purchase ¢ ug to the amovot of thirty- three coliarr. He (Munna) knew Garvie lutaately —haa often been recipient of favors from at Mr. Garvic’s the him, and treated as one of the famil; residence, coming and going when be pleased, and paying nothing for hie board, About the Ist of March last Gary came to this el d, stopping in Gold strect a fow days, he then, meeting Hanna, was induced by the latter to visit bis residence with him. There be remained a con- siderable time—-a period of some weeks—during which time, with le exception, he was continually intoxi- ated. During bis stay Garvie was induced by Hanna, while stupified with liquor, to execute a lease of ‘property atGien Cove, worth },000, for $1,000 per year, and a deed for the twohouses'and lows in 127th street, worth $4,000, and a bill of sale for one-third of tho bark J. Wall, Jr., and a bill ofenie for the sloop Freedom. For all of the'sa:d property anna paid nothing, and the evi- cence is conclusive that be had vothing topay. if we one stop further in the case we find it castactorlly peng procured Garvie LJ become bem § y giving money, saying, ‘Jimmy, go get a drink.” Uj the ‘whole of the evidence, I think it very clear that Hanna designedly procured Garvie to become intoxicated, and ry bim tae in Loy stato with the intent and for the purpose of obtaining his as i# proven in evidence. Ry bis own words, ened Garvie vp dronk; be bad bim all right; he had him jast where be wanted him. I cannot doubt that such trans- action ts an offence at common law, without reference to any statute. And were there no other circumetances im the case, I should regard it as my duty to hold the accused for the action of the Grand Jury. But in my opinion the facts tend to establish a conspiracy to defraud Garvie of his property. When he had been there eight or wine = Garvie, in a state of intoxi. cation, was taken to the office of Adams & Taylor, b; Hanna; ana on this occasion Mr. O'Donnell, who pre ousiy worked for Garvie, was in company with them. On reaching the office, Garvie being stopified with liquor, Hanna told Adams be wanted to speak to him privately. ibey lef the office, leaving Garvie and O'Donnell there, and Were absent some ten mit utes, turn, Adame, without any word being 4 Garvie, proceeded at once to draw a lease to Hanna the property at Glen Cove, Garyie sitting with his head down, a8 it asleep, and did not speak; and when the tease was finished, Haopa went and shook Garvie, and told bim the lease was ready. Adams then read the tease and Garvie signed it, and then sat down again. Adams then ed to Craw the deed for the Harlem property. ibat be instructions entirety Hanna, of Garvye’s property to Banua’s Hanna tis sole executor, f cannot ri professional acts, 90 conrider mere dive! papers of s was sleepy, liquor. alk, the suggertion to ake & will, and drawing the pa instructions the permitting a man in his condition to execate such instruments, and the reqnests of Adams to O'Donnell, at Glen Cove, toside with Hanna, are ail inconsistent with idea of mere acts.

I-—TROFTING. A most exciting trotting match for $1,0.%, p. p., came off on Tuesday afternoon, between b. m. Rose of Wash- ington and b. m. Lady Moscow, mile heats, best three in five, in harness. The desire to witness a contest between these two nags ealled out a large attendance. Rose of ‘Washington haa trotted but six races previous to the present one—twice with Mr. Nichols’ stallion American Eagle, winning both races; once with Ethan Alles, which she lost; then with a pacer, winning easy; then half mile heate with Belle of Saratoga, which she won in good time; and lastly with Blue Morgan, in which race she was again victonous. Her owner has been very carefui with her, and did not seem over anxious to force her into engagements, rather waiting for what he considered ‘sure things.’ This summer, however, he broke loose and matched Rose in five races—two with Lady Moscow, and three with Chicago Jack, for $1,000 aside. Although a winner on Tuesday afternoon, we did not think her per- formances reached the high expectations formed of her ‘by her backers, and that if she is A No. 1, she has yot to show it. Her second heat was @ very ordinary one, and those who bad been laying the heavy odds on her were very much inclined to “ hedge,” or buy off at a largo per centage. Lady Moscow is well known to ‘the sporting world. Her performances years ago with Lady Suffolk and Lady Sutton have been chronicied ali over the land; her re- peated mile heats in 2:30 and 2:31, and her two miles in 6.04, will never be forgotten. She was off the turf fora time—having met with an accident—but last summer she again made her appearance, and in a very good race de- feated Lady Franklin and Chicago Jack over the Union Course, in 2:37—2:37—2:53. This summer, having fallen into new bands, she again makes her appearance like an old and favorite actor, and hosts of admirers turn out to witness her performances. She was not herself, how- ever, on Tuesday, and did not make the fine points Ler friends expected to witness. For weeks previous to the day of the race, in all her private trials she had ex- bibited speed far ahead of the fine displays of her youth- ful days, which led her owner to believe her invincibie, and he backed her largely for her contests with Rose of Washington.

Amenican Ract Horses Gorxa to Evnors.—Among the passengers of the steamship Asia, which sailed yesterday for England, we noticed the name of R. Ten Broeck, the Napoleon of the American turf since the decease of Col. Jobnason, of Virginia, The object of Mr, Ten Broock's visit to Rurope ts to test the powers of the English race horse on Ergiish ground by actual experiment with those bred ia America. For that parpose he takes out with him Lecomte, Pryor, and the Olly Prioress—three of the fastest horses im this country. His horse Lexington, however, is left behind, for reasons best known to him- self. For the last century, England has been celebrated for the superiority of her racing horses, and it is to her principally that_we owe our fine stock. Most of our best stock staliians have been imported from that country, Ib ts contended by English turfmen that the horse in Eng- land has attained the maximum of speed, and that no foreign bred horses are eqaal to them. In order to solve this problem, Mr. Ten Broeck, confident of the powers of the American bred horse, goes to Eugland, and time will tell the result. We should mot be surprised were be to come off victorious—etranger things baye happened. As we have beaten the English in many things, why should we not beat them in racing alyo? It is woll known that the American trotting horse, whether owing to the sk ill of the driver orthe inberont qualities of the animal, is far in advance of anything in Europe. Num- bers are annually exported to England and France and sold at high prices, and will so continue until the breed- ing, training and driving of the trotting horse—an art by iteelf—is DUtter understood in those countries. We will, however, watch the movements of Mr. Ten Broeck im England, and keep our readers fully posted, made’ brush, and yokod ® CONWRCTICUT.

O, Toole, In addition to these parties, there was a large lobby iu attendance, and great excitement prevailed, as it was un- deratood the Committee weuld agree to affiliate with the softs, and also seud delegates to Syracuse. The press was not admitted, and the conduct of the bards in this particular compares unfavorably with the republicans, who ave very willing to admit the press. After some prelim‘nary business, Cas. A. May, of the Sixteenth ward, moved that a committee of five be ap- pointed by the Chair to report the name of one delegate und one alternate from the Assembly districts of this city to represent the hards in the State Convention to be held in Syracuse on the 80th inst. Joun B. Haskwws, from the Eighth ward, moved to amend so as to give the representatives of the diferent Assembly districts in that body the power to choose their own delegate and alternate. He argued that this busi- ness bad all been arranged in caucus to crush the less bg members, and for one deemed it undemvcratic. ¢ Kansas-Nebraska he supported from the start, because it gave the Vege authority over their local mat- ters; and referring the selection of these delegates to five persons was, to his mind, outrageous. J. Suenman Browxext, of the Ninth ward, took the same view, and denounced the proposed action. Axtiony Dvero was also opposed to this action. He thought it would ruin the democratic party. Mr. Haskin’s amend ment was lost, by a vote of 32 nays and 29 yeas. After considerable discussion Mr. May's motion was carried, by a vote of S4 to 27. A motion was made that no member of that committee should be appointed a delegate, and another motion was that no member of that committee be an oilice ho der wonder Buchanan, at which there was much laugater.

I was called to this place, from New Yorke, om Tus last, by inteliigence of the dangerous illness of may - child. yet living, but I fear hopelessly sick. Im any event, whatever may be the result, I shall not be im Baltimore on the 10th inst., and [ deem tt proper to give to you the earliest notice of the fact. As I cannot fulfil the commission conferred on mo by the old line whigs of Baltimore, Lam really pleased that its execution, in the alternative, has been entrusted te one who, at all times, and under all circumstances, haw borne bimself as a staunch and true whig. You and J can vote properly and couststently for Mr. Filmore, not as the nominee of the American party, but 4s a good whig, sound and conservative in his notions. I feel Well assured that Le will not proseribe any citizen om account of his religion or bis birth; and tne doctrines of the party who have selected bim as their standard bearer, as expounded by him, are essentially conservative, And even if there be in the platform of ‘tne American some political dogma which you and 1, as old iine whigs, cunnot entirely approve, yet, as compared with the other platforms, it 43 comparatively unexceptionable and really conservative. Under different circumstances I would take the liberty of expressing my views upon eertain topics which may come up, aud probably wil come up, for discussion in the Convention All that I can now say is that I feel well assured thas tbe se tiou of the Convention will be Productive of g00d. ih my best wishes and my respects, faithfully, Wa. scHLRY, (en On motion of Mr. Frutox, Dr. Joua L.
