FoRLoRN HoPE.-Bennett, who, it
is now become evident, was identified
with the Courier and Enquirer transac-
ton, is Mr.. Biddle's last hope. He
was Struggled into the Pennsylvania,
and into the confidence of the unsuspec-
ting Democracy, as an honest friend of
the cause-one who had been betrayed
and deserted By his partners, Webb d
Noah. He is the Simon Of the Bank
who undertakes to introduce the wood
en- horse within the walls, and to effect
by perfdy, what could not be accom-
plished by force, and siege Of years.
This treacherouS instrument of Webb
and Biddle, has the impudence to pro-
pose, by his praise, to flatter the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet to adopt the views
of the Bank and permit its wishes to
give direction to the course of the Adj
ministration y
Mr.. Biddlc miscalculates the effect
Of the insidious operation of the cor
rupt press he employs. His tactics are
perfectly understood at Washington g.
will, ere long, be thoroughly exposed
to the whole country.-Every new in
stance of peridy and treachery, which
rises to the public view, only serves to
show the windings of the blind animal
which, although at work invisibly in
its dark vault, is still seen in all its
motons.-While he scufiles in the dirt,
to undermine and thro,c up inpediments,
as he imagines, in perfect security, the
hoe of the farmer hangs over him.
We should pity Mr.. Biddle, ifitwer
not for the heartless and useless way in
which he sacrifices the character of the
wretches, whose consciences he buys
for the benefit of the bank-When his
day of trial is at hand, he will be
haunted by these victims, and they
will, like the ghosts of King Richards
murdered, set heavy on his soul.

Forgery.-Yesterday a person pre-
sented at the Bank of Philadelphia, a
check for about IS, 800, purporting to
be from respectable broker of this ci-
ty. Nothing appeared on the face Of
the check or in the conduct of the per-
son presenting it, to excite suspicion,
and it was paid.
Another check, bearing the same
name, and for the sum of SO, 800, was
presented at the Farmers and Mocha
MICS Bank, under similar circumstan-
ces, and was similarly honored. After
bank hours, it was ascertained that
both checks were forgeries, and from
certain circumstances, it is feared that
other banks have also suffered by the
same depredator. We do not know
that suspicious have fallen upon any
individual, but the police have been
made acquainted with the circumstan-
ces, and win probably ferret out the
offender. -. S. Gdz.
