NEW YORK, JUNE 29.—A novel instance of the
infinite contrivances and combinations of roguery,
was this day evinced near the Albany basin. A
respectable man, with something more than 370
dollars of paper money in his pocket, a part of which
he had just received in town, in some way, while
engaged in business at the place mentioned, dropped
his pocket-book, or at any rate parted with it from
his pocket. Presently a cartman hslloed to him, and
asked him if he had not lost his pocket-book ?
Pt.:6llg his hand to his side, he instantly discovered
that he had. " Well," said the cartman, " I saw
that negro fellow going along yowler, pick one up."
The black fellow passed deliberately on his way till
the gentleman overtook him, as ke walked along,
deliberately overhauled the pocket-book, and finding,
as he says, only nine cents in money, coolly threw it
down. There appeared scarce a possibility that ha
could have disposed of the money undetected The
adroitness of the villany lay with the outman. who,
seeing the pocket-book fall, opened, rifkl, and threw
it down again, and then watching the next passer.
gm- who he concluded would very probably pick it
up, handsomely turned off the guilt from his own
shoulders ; besides, the carman immediately made
col, and is not known.

Letters from Bilboa of the °S:11 say, that the
greatest disord.r reigns in that city. A lolot against
the new system had been di,covered, in consequence
of which many persons were ;wrested: attioag these
