Peers. The prisoners will be exclusively

guards-25 of these guards will be chosen
from among the wOrkmen who most distln-

such violent censure upon him before the
Court of Peers. NJ Martin being Intercepted

was implicated in an affair of treason but who

A S,oindler.-We were yesterday forenoon
Informed Of an ingenious piece Of swindling,
by a man who called his name Henry G. Lev
engston, but requested not tn take any notice
oft in our paper, lest it might alarm the rogue
and lessen the chance Of the police officers in
arresting him. He had entered into negoti-
! alton with Mr.. Luke Kip, for the purchase Of
house and lot in Broadway. The price.
81 1000, was finally agreed on, but Mr.. Kip,
being unwell, and confined to his room, COM
mitted the management and contamination OF
the bargain to his attorney, Gen. BOgardas.
The hour was fixed on for the delivery ofthe
papers. aud the ayment Of the money. which
was before bank hours on Tuesday morning
last. Levengston represented to Gen. Bo-
gardus that he had sold a large quantity of
brandy to Mr.. Dennis NJ Carthy, who is well
known to be large wholesale dealer in all
kinds ofliquors and groceries, and asked If his
checks would be received 10 payment, to
WHICH OeH' DOSaTuuS repIeu uUst certainly
at the hour appointed, behold, my gentleman
appeared with the two bank checks, purport-
ing to be drawn by Mr.. Mccarthy, one for
$4,000, and the other for 81, 500, exartly $500
more than the purchase money for the house
and lot. AS the Banks were not open, and
he was DESTROYS 10 leave town that morning
on urgent business, he should esteem it as a
particular favor if Gen. Bogardus could give
him the balance that would be coming to him.
Mr.. Bogardus, not suspecting, from the gen
teel department, easy manners, and handsome
business-like address Of the fellow, that any
thing was wrong; and not doubling in the
least the ability Of tine drawer Of the checks
to meet them. unhesitatingly gave him his
check on one ofthe banks in this city for $3.50,
deducting his bill for making out the necessary
papers in transferring his property, and closed
the business. A few hours afterwards, on pre-
senting the checks to the bank for pay ment,
they were pronounced forgeries. The check
of Mr.. Bogardus had not been presented for
payment to the bank ON which It was drawn,
hut the fellow has succeeded in getting the
money for it of broker in Wall street, and
that is the last that has been heard Of him.
