The N. Y. Journal of Commerce of Tsuea. day cOntnins an account of the arrest of three desperate villains in that city, who call them. selves James Wilson, Louis N. Smith. and Daniel Van Horn but it is ascertained thak these are not their real names. Under differ ent names they had been over and over again. in different State Prisons for almost every sort of crime. Wilson, alias WartOn, alias Nor. ton. alias Hils0n, alias Nelson. alias Vander- grif, seems to have been the chief of the gang. It is ascertained that those siains have car- ried on the trade of forgery to most extra ordinary extent iH N. York and other cities. Within very recent period they committed the following forgeries in N. Y.-purpOrting tO be drawn by the following persons on the North River Bank $500; Layfayette SI7OO, J. M. Secor; Tradesmen's $500, A. M. Mer-, chant Butchers and DrOvers' $500, P. Gass- ner Commercial Bank S2O0, A. Hart Judah: Leather Man. Bank $40, J. E. Benncr.- Some of these checks were not paid, and at this moment an unfortunate young lad whom those fellows sent to present check for pay ment lies tn prison, under charge of having forged it himself. The three villains were fully committed. It is stated that HlsOn vas discharged from the Massachusetts State Pri- son many years since. >s s-

We passed on. but were soon startled by some one calling after .us hurriedIy '' to stop" Itwas the fruit woman. Here," cried she, almost out of breath with her haste to overtake us. IT was mistaken in the price of the orange; it should have been four cents "' and she extended her withered hand containing the other two. was in- stantly reminded of Smollet's story of the beggar, who returned him the guinea. suppo-. sing it 10 have been through mistake. But could not help saying to myself "a greater than ihat IS here" The comparatively large sum of guinea might we'll alarm the princi. ples, of an upright mind, but the conscience that could be scrupul6us to the amount of d. paltry PENNY!
