A HEAVY FORGERY.
The New Orleans Bulletin of the Bth says
ligenee has been received here that an individual calling
credit
himself John P. Caldwell had forged a letter of
for twenty-five thousand dollars, from the house
of Maunsel White and Co. of this city, upon the bank-
ing. house of Brown, Brothers, and Co. in New York,
which latter firm is a branch of the English firm of that
name in Liverpool. Caldwell is supposed to be the
Englishman who forged certificates of deposits to it large
amount upon several banks of this city last winter." The
Intel-
Bee states that the letter of credit was sent from George;
town, D. C., based on a consignment of 1,011 bales
0'
cotton, it was paid.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—Two great forgeries have Jest
been perpetrated on houses here by a process somewhat
like that by which so large sums were obtained- some
months ago. In this case, one of the frauds practised on
the great house of Brown Brothers and Co., and
el
the
other on the agents of Fletcher, Alexander, and Co.,
England, each for about $25,000.

FOUR PERSONS BURNT TO ASIIES !—We have bee
furnished with the following details of a late horrible
catastrophe. The house of Sylvester S. Br't
on South Creek, about eight miles from this place', %-
consumed by. fire on the 11th instant,. at about plate',
e
o'clock at night, and four persons, viz., two sons °'
Mr. Brown, one aged 7 and the other 5 years-110131
Smith, aged 50 years, and a daughter of Ete'll,e,,
Campbell, aged 11 years. The persons burnt, ~,
are informed, slept up stairs, while Mr. Br°'''"
and his wife end a babe, who slept bel°w;
barely escaped without saving anything whciecer,
but their night clothes. Mr. Smith was a stone 010°11
formerly from Smithville, Chenango co. The fire cauri,
from a stove shanty, joining the house, very probel
near the staircase, which prevented a descent of the pee
sons up stairs—we must suppose there was no 103-
window large enough to admit of jumping through. se
All. the furies of faction are now turned 1°
vio°lent',-
at once. We are to have a long and
political struggle—breaking up of the old part his
and old friendships. There is a distinct object 'ni ibis
l
strife. The Claymen have hoisted the banner
Bank—the fight for a Bank and nothing else. of
The state of things at the approaching sessilo
Congress, will be extraordinary and exciting. rful
severance of old political friends will create a fe°'
be
war of words—and, probably, the Bowe knifewillae-
brought-in aid of the argument. That is the opi,—...i°l/tbe
liberately given in the late debate in the House ong.er
last week's riot, by Mr. Warren, of Georgia, and b
respectable. Members. The Abolition question, 'l9ss.t
must be met at the opening of Congress, and is the qv
thing to come up, will add much to the general elc`
ment and confusion.—New York Inquirer.

YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS.—The r
fever, we regret to state, continues to increase at .4.tio
Orleans. The papers of the 10th announce 35 dubs
tte
by yellow fever on the preceding day, and those
11th, 25 deaths by the fever, making 60 deaths in
days. nos
LATER FROM MONTE VIDEO.—By the brig -- orb
Ayres, Captain Lake, via Pernambuco,
from Monte Video to Jul 25th. The market vire
glutted with flour. No freightsof description /ve
any
offered. e-.
The Buenos Ayrean fleet of six sail, under Conillite.
we have rerrai
dore Brown, lay at anchor off the harbour of :'‘l!E.r.
Video, within gun-shot of the Monte Videan fleet en°

omodre Coe.
It was reported and universally believec that & :15.
diation had arrived by the British Packet, which ber
been offered by England, and had been accepted by wo.
Governor of Monte Video, and had proceeded to 13...11e11is
Ayres. Should this mediation be accepted by Ros"'" be.
was thought business would improve. Should it not .0
accepted, a battle would immediately take place betty
the two fleets.
