The infamous arts practised on Monday to 0
itel4 .
an artificial lift to the Funds have justly exctt
great and general indignation, and we learn Icit.
peculiar satisfaction that there is every °lry
grounded hope of the speedy and complete dete,/e
tion of the parties who planned and executed t"
conspiracy. Government are said to have ate
-
covered the principal agents employed in the lie:
farious imposition practised unon the public e' .
Monday last, and we have no doubt they have r!,l'
ceivedinformation sufficient toenable them to f°'
a pretty accurate opinion in what quarter this 1011 1 f

the Stock Exchange, after some discussion, tl`t,
come to a resolution not to cancel the barP,n
„s
made on Monday in consequence of the intorno:.
hoax practisesl upon the public, leaving the partil •
injured to such legal remedies as the disclosure.%
the fraud may admit. The Committee likewksof
resolved,, that a delegation, or select number
Subscribers, called `'The Committee for t_t',i,i
protection of property against frauds," shot 'l,
meet yesterday at twelve, o'clock, for the disc();
very and punishment of the principals and agel)
concerned in the flagrant imposition, the circueli

sittings, and from the information which biaa

but the result of the investigation will lead to.t.:„
detection and punishment, of the delinquents'
