by Messrs q G.. 81 S. Rowland, for 81
7G0, and was paid. II was not till some
time after that any suspicious were enter
tained Of its genuineness but it being re-
marked that the paper on which it was
drawn was ola different quality to that
now used by Messrs. Rowland, and one Of
their clerks being in the Bank, he was asks
cd fit was good, but he could not answer
the question On returning to the Office,
however, he found 10 such check charged,
and on examining 1t was found 10 be for
gerry.
Shortly after this check had been paid
person called at the Branch Bank, and ex-
changed Union Bank for United States
Bank notes. We understand that the tel
Ter Of the latter Bank could recognize the
person were he to see him again.
About the same time, check, purport-
inp to have been drawn by Mr.. w. ii. As
pinwall, was presented at the Merchants
Bank. Suspicious being excited in the
mind of the teller, he sent to Mr.. Aspin-
wall, but he had drawn no such check.
1t will be remembered, that a short time
since, the store Of Messrs. Rowland was
entered by some villains, and sundry pa
pers stolen. 1t is supposed that the for.
geries have been committed by one or
more of the same gang for, doubtless, by
the documents which they stole, they learn.
ed that Messrs. Ilowland kept an account
in the Union, and Mr.. Aspinwall (who
lives with Messrs. Rowland in the Mer
chants Bank, and also were enabled to i'm
tate the signature so as to deceive one
! Bank. We hope no means will be left un-
tried by our police to discover the villains.
There were another case offorgery yes
| terday, which was neurly successful, and
which it is more difficult to account for.
The check Of Messrs. Spear, Carleton ~
| Co. for $500 dollars, was presented Mt the
| bank where their account is kept, and the
! ellcr was on the point Of cashIDg It, when
! 70 observed that the number was not filed
n. The signature, however, was pro.
lounced by the officers Of the bank 70 be
genuine, but while they werc consult
inC upon the subject, the person who
nresen;ed it was missing. No trace of the
.ogues has yet been discovered.

Yesterday at the North River Bank, a
heck for S7G0, signed Abm. Lefoy, was
rresented. Which underwent the eXamina-
son Of ;wo or three Of the officers of the
bank, and was finally paid. In this case
he rogue calmly waited the result, and af.
,er he had received the money, exchang-
cd tat the Fulton Bank. The extent and
VARIETY Of these forgeries are unprecedent-
cd in this city. and have caused no little
anxiety to be felt in our banks, that more
may yet be discovered.
