INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS. Extensive Seizures of Whiskey Yesterday— Heavy Cotten Fraud—820,000 Involved— Meeting of the Tobacce Beard of Trade— The Distillers Again in Council. There was no meeting of the Metropolitan Kevenue Board yesterday, nor will there be until Tuesday next, ‘The following seizures were reported :— A Gustillery, supposed to be running illicitly, in Tre- mont, near Van Brunt street, Brooklyn, Turned over to District Attorney Tracy for investigation. One hundrea barrels of whiskey, at pier No. 1 North river, seized in consequi - es were sequence of bearing no distil: ‘Twenty-five barrels of whiskey and spirits were seized, the former at the Duane street pier and the latter at the Albany plier. The charges are, no bill of lading produced, and doubt as to the pay- ment of tax Twenty-five barrels of whiskey were found on pier 2) and detained on suspicion of non-payment of tax. An illicit distillery in Kent avenue, between Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, Brookiya, was also setzed and the property heid tor confiscation. This still was sita- ated in the rear of a dweiling hoase, and has for more than a year past evaded the notice of the officers, Yesterday afternoon Revenue Inspector Roilins seized 200 barrels of whiskey on the bark Harvest Home tying at Pier No. 18, East meer. The whiskey had been in- spected and was awailing transportation in bond to New Orieans, It is alleged tnateince the inspection of the liquor it has been tampered with, the contents of about six barrels having been drawn off. Inspector Koillins ob ained a search warrant (rom District Attorney Court- ney, of the Southern district, and will examine the other barrels on Mooday. Asis generally known an internal revenue tax per pound 1s collectable on ali cotton exported from this country, Twis tax is legitimately payable at the piace of ae) ut, im order to facilitate sales, the Treasury partment allows cotton to be shipped in bond from the South to Northern ports, and the tax to be collected at the warebouse when export is made. Not long ago a deficiency of about $20,000 was discovered between number of bales of cotton calied for by the books ot certain cotton warehouse in this city and the number of bales im store, An investigation into this discrepancy brought out the fact, as is alleged, that about three bun- dr d bales, belonging to dillerent parties and left on stor- age, had mysteriously disappeared, and are supposed to have found a European market without first paying the tax required by the Internal Revenue jaw, The warehouse in which this cotton was stored, was, with its contents, destroyed by fire a few montis since, and the threo hundred bales now alleged to have been surreptitiously removed were supposed to have been burned. Sach probable destruction of the cotton would have been ‘credited until now, had it not been, as is alleged, that when the parties owning the warehouse made applica- tion for the payment of their insurances the usual in- vestigation made by the companies was instituted, and resulted im the discovery that the presence in the warebouso at the time of the conflagration of the three hundred bales for which payment was claimed could not be proved by the books of the estab- lisnment. The principal party connected with this affair is now in Canada, The adjuster of the insurances has the matter in charge, and will, i( his sarmises as to the fraud is c rrect, bring the matier speedily belore the courts. A meeting of the Tobacco Board of Trade was held yesterday, and the bearing of the new order of the In- ternal Revenue Department debated, No specific ac- on was taken. ‘The opinion of dealers generaliy is that the Department wil! not force them to comply with the late regulations aa to bond! but will leave the warehouse system, a8 far as they are concerned, in satu quo. A spectal meeting of the Distill nd Rectifiers’ As- sociation was beid last evening at the republican head- rs corner of Groadway and Twent . A. Blaisdell, President, in the ch t ance was large. The committee appointed at the last meeting to vieit Philadelphia and confer with tho distil in thatcity as to acting in concert with (be trade fn this city, reported that the Philadelphia mann. facturers hal agreed to clog their distilieries for fifteen days, or for 8 jepgth of time as may bo required to bring the market price of whiskey ap to two dollars per gallon, The committee reported, also, that o society similar to the New York organization had been formed in Philadelphia, and that on tne day following its forma tion whiskey it up thirty cents per gallon in price. ‘The Committee on Seizures reported that {rom the 41h to the 11th instant 3,968 barrels of whiskey had come into this market from the West, Of this amount thoy bad cageed the seizure of 180 barreis for being impro- branded; had caused 1,012 barrels to be detained for investigation as to the payment of tax, and that the », 2,776 had been put in government warehouses under bond. Both re} rere accepted and the committees or: to cobti heir work, The Visiting Committee will start on Tuesday for Baltimore, Cincionati, Richmond and other cities, to urge the forming of associations lke that in New York.

No cases of sinall hoiders being in jon of the vogus bonds were found, and it is very that their introduction on the market is a fraud of such recent occurrence that they have not had time to be distribeted to auy extent, being still in fransitu in large quantities through the various leading bankipg-bouses, BXTENT OF THE FORGERY. The actual amount of the counter.ay issue is still a matter of speculation, no new data havlug been discov- ered yesterday to aid in arriv! at any more accurate judyment than that gained by light of the first in- formation published in yesterday's paper. But few packages trom the West were received yesterday, which circamatance is attributable no doubt to the disposition on the part of tne bolders of what tuey conceive to be bona fide securities to keep them in their possession until some definite action to be taken in the matier of the declared counterfeite 1s announced by the govern- ment, wuile the parties who have been engaged in “guoving” the bogus bonds will of course keep quiet Jor the present, it being too great a risk, now that suspi- cion ts on the gui vive, to attempt forcing apy more into Circulation. fi FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS, . Morrison & Putnam, brokers, received $4,000 yes- terday from a correspondent in Cincinuat, througa th , ip order to obtain the judgment of the govern- meat officials upon this point, Tbe clerks \here can- didly confessed their inability to decide with any de- gree of certainty as to whether or not they were bogus, «wo of them they said they thought were good, while the others were certainly counteriets, Betug but ill satisfied with this questionabie testimony as to their value, Messrs. Morrison & Putnam took the bonds to Jay, Cooke & Co.'s office, whose exper s declared them to be imitations, They were consequently returued to Cincinnati. A SLIGHT CLUE was obtained to the parties who have been engaged in circulating these bonds in the information received that a certain individual a day or two since presented $5,000 in Gve bonds to a banking bouse in Bullalo, where tuey wore regived, being subsequently ascertained to be coun- terfeits, The gentleman who received them states that be can furpish an accurate description of the inan by whom they were brought to the house, aud steps have been taken to ascertain his present whereabouts, Much interest ia felt as to what may be the .
