.anoiher Forgery on The Philadelphia
Bank. In the course Of Thursday q
forged draft for Sc 900 was presented al
the counter Of the Western Bank ol
Pennsylvania, by person calling him
self Thomas Townsend, and paid. After
the closing Of the Bank, the fact of the
draft being forgery was discovered but
too late to arrest the individual who ut
tered it. The draft, as it now appears,
was drawn by the National Bank Of this
city on the 10th inst, upon the Western
Bank, to the order Of Thomas To,ensend,
for sixty dollars, and ingeniously altered
from that amount to sir thousand! The
number of this draft was G9, and two
others of the same Bank numbered 68
and 10 having been previously present
ed and paid, the paying teller had not
the slightest suspicion that any thing
was wrong. The person presenting the
draft endorsed his name upon it, in the
presence Of the teller, but whether it is
his real or assumed name, is left to con-
lecture.

/ 1t would seem that affairs in England
remain pretty much in siatu quo. The
Slavery Abolition Bill, which had pass
ed the House of Commons, had not
made its way through the House oI
Lords, at the last accounts, but was
dragging slowly along, and would very
probably succeed.
The Bank Of England question, was
not disposed Of The stockholders OF
the institution, had held meeting, and
had finally, though reluctantly, conclud-
ed to accept Of renewal Of their char
ter, with the notifications proposed in
Parliament.
The state Of Ireland was more tran
quill than usual so much so, that it was
contemplated to withdraw part of the
British troops stationed there. What is
meant by tranquility, we presume is,
that the people have had their lips clos
ed, and their hands tied, by the govern
mcnt, so that they either cannot, or dare
not speak or act
France continues much the same as
heretofore, not absolutely in a state Of
quiet, nor positively in rebellion but
the theatre Of agitation and une easiness,
which all the efforts, threats, anG promi-
ses Of the " citizen king" and his ad-
yisers, are unable to hush 20 rest.
In Portugal since our last advises,
there have been no decisive movements.
Don Pedro retains possession Of the

Don Miguel has established itself at a

Eng. in disguise.
The forces Of Don Pedro, under
Count Vile Flor, were watching the

The tumults in Switzerland had been

Judge from the details ofthc intelligence

are very far from being in a very settled
or enviable condition. 1t requires but
little Of the spirit of prophecy, to disco
yer that unless a general reform shall
take place, by which the people may be
of some part Of their burden,
some, at least Of the crowned heads,
must sit loosely on their shoulders, and
their governments, ere long, totter to
the fall.

NEWPORT.
ATTACK ON THE
BANK.

The n. Y. Commercial Advertiser oil
j Tuesday evening, contains a long and
most extraordinary document, purporting
to be paper signed by the President OF
the United States and laid before his
Cabinet, in relation to the conte mplated
removal Of the Government Depositcs
from the U. S. Bank. The paper is ev-
identity an expose from Amos Kendall, in
behalf Of his fellow Iaborers ofthe kitch-
en- Cabinet, and is little else than a new
hash Of all the stale and Oft repeated
calumnies, as to the conduct Of the Bank,
SD triumphantly put down last winter by
the Report Of MIR McDufIie. We will
venture to say that there is not single
suggestion in this paper which is not full
ly met in the report Of that gentleman;
and that this daring and unwarrantable
usurpation of power on the part of the
President, has not even the color Of an
apology TO extenuate its exercise. The
President in fact has nothing to do with
the deposites. The law gives to the
Secretary ofMe Treasury alone, the pow
er to remove them: and until Il good and
sufficient reason can be alleged by that
officer for so doing, it would be an M
PEAcHADLE offence even IN him to med
die with them. One thing, however, is
a subject Of congratulation.--Whoever
may suffer by this high-handed proceed
ing, it will recoil tremendously on its un-
principled authors. by the following
extract from the Commercial Advertiser

kct is briefly indicated. 1t will be seen

uced on Saturday and Monday. But

mt from what had been antc ipated by
,e stock-conspirators. Instead Of fresh
evclopements and astounding disclo-
ures, it was found that the President n
ad been reduced to the necessity of c
ashing up stale and olt-repeated calurn- -,
les of the Bank; and the consequence

PaienL tinned lead Pipes

Patent timed lead Pipes.-An article
under this name is mentioned in the Lon
don papers, which seems likely to su-
persede the use of all other metals which
hitherto have been employed for con-
duis. To lead alone, in pipes, cisterns,
&C. il is well known that the most scri-
Gus objections exist. For instance, the
action of air on lead produces oxide,
which water dissolvcs, and thus water
becomes poisonous. Similar deleterious
effects are caused by leaden pipes III
beer engines. 1t was to remedy these
evils that the Dew process oftinning lead
pipes was brought to perfection, and
Messrs J. s X. Warner, the patentees,
affirm that the additional cost for the i'm
proved article is very triAing.
