EXTENSIVE FORGERY.-An hitherto much
respected Clerk, in the employ of Edward ID.
Peters, was on Thursday arrested by Consta-
BILE Sliute, on the complaint Of Mr.. William
q. Lnnibert for forging n check for S250O on
the Atlantic Bank, in the name OF Messrs.
Lambert a. Sade. On Saturday last, the
check was presented at the Bank, by Joshua
J.. Davis, a truckman, who received it from
the Clerk for that purpose. There was some
thing about the manner Of presenting the
check, that led the officer of the Bank to sns-
pect that all was not right, and, instead of
paying it, he notified the firm in whose name
1t was drawn. The signatures we're so well
executed, that the forgery might have escap-
ed the detection Of the firm, but for the cir
cumstance that in the course Of the business
Of the day. no transaction of the kind had ta.
ken place. Davis was unable to tell the name
of the person who gave him the check, but
gave such description of his person, as,coD.
nected with other circumstances, fixed the
suspicion on the Clerk. lie was brought up
for examination or Thursday afternoon, when
he consented to submit to the order of the
Court, without going into any evidence. lie
was then ordered to recognise for his appear
ance at the Municipal Court in the sum OF
$4,000.
1t is said, that he has been living beyond
his income, and, for the past fortnight, has
carried pistol about with him, undecided
whether to blow his brains out or resort to
unlawful expedients to eXtricate hmse If from
his pecuniary embarraSsmcnts.-B Boston Morn

H. DARING OUTRAGE AND INFRINGEMENT OF
LIBERTY.-We feel it our. duty to call the at
tention Of our fellow citizens. and every one
interested in the welfare Of our city, az well
as the preservation Of our personal liberty, TO
the following daring outrage, committed on
one Of our most reputable inhabitants, Mr..
Louis Kokernot. ..
! Mr.. X. visited the theatre on Sunday even
ing, and on his return about twelve O'Clock, to
his residence at the corner of st. Louis
street. and the Levee, whilst engaged in re-.
moving a barrel which obsructed his en-
trance to his own house, was attacked by
three of our city guard, who treated him as a
robber, and would not permit him to enter
his own premises, when his servant appeared
to open the door for him.! Mr.. X. gave them
every explanation in his power, and finally
,endeavored to pass through them, when two
Of the guardians of our lives and Liberties
seized him, whilst the third beat him most Sc
vorely on the face and head; at this period
his wife made her appearance, when those
valiant heroes drew knife upon her and
compelled her to retire. with her clothes coy
cred with the blood from the wounds her
husband had received from the persons he
pays, las every one does,} to protect him.
They called him thief and robber, and final
ly dragged him to prison, ten thousand
times worse than the far famed inqusition,
called iamiliarly the calaboose, where they
left him for the night to runinate on the lib
erty the citizens of Orleans sometimes enjoy.
We hope we shall not often have to call
the attention Of our citizens to such abuses
of a little authority which we are sorry to
say, are but of too frequent occurrence a.
mongst us. /
Mr.. X. was also basely deprived of what
money he had shout him, by these protectors
as he must suppose, as they were most ae-
tive in boarding his pockets and fishing ont
the contents Of them. The guard refused to
call the Captain, which Mr.. X. requested, as
he was personally known to bin, and would
have Immediately released him. The Cap.
tain was asleep IN the very next chamber
They then eollared him as they would an as
sassin, and dragged him into the prison, from
which he was not released till next morning
by the Captain himself. These worthless not
content with dragging Mr.. X. through the !
streets like felon, inflicted several blows
upon him whilst passing from his house to
the prison. How long shall these things last
which are and have been for long time
disgrace to our city?
Mr.. X. we are sorry to ndd, is under the
care OF the .physicians.- Bee.

Singular accident and extraordinary opera
iion.--Some days since while a young lady,
daughter Of of our most opulent citizens,
iendcavorng TO pick out knot In thread
with cambric needle the needle suddenly
broke in two pieces, and the pointed half was
sent with great force into her eye, where it
penetrased TO a considerable depth. The
dreadful pain In consequence can be better
conceived than described. Physicians were
Immediately sent for, and after trying in vain
gave up the attempt to eXtricate the needle,
which had forced itself through the exter nal
coat of the eye. DR. Scudder, the ingenious
oculist, was finally sent for,but not until fears
were entertained that the needle would pene-
trate into the brain and cause death, which
in all probability would have been the case.
The Doctor was given to understand that the
eye was considered as lost, and that the only
hopes of the lady's parents were, that the nee
die could be extricated, and the life of their
only daughter saved
DR.. Scudder Immediately proceeded to an
examination, and ut once pronounced that he
could eXtrcate the needle and preserve the
eye. He ordered an anodyne, and when the
patient was comparatively easy from its ef-
iects, made small ncision with a delicate
operating knife; then by means of powerful
magnet, he drew the needle so near the sur.
face as to grasp it with pair of "magnetised
tenacutum torceps," and as quick as thought
the needle was in the palm of his hand by
means of mild collyrium, or eye wash, the
inflammation quickly subsided, and the young
lady is completely relieved, aud is now as
buoyant and happy as if nothing had occurred.
Many of the instruments that Dr. Scudder
uses are OF peculiar construction, and Of his
own inventon.-.N Y. Star.

and across the black lines and writing the
words expunged by order of the Senate. 1t
was a new pen that had never been used for
any other purpose. The President received
it with much pleasure, and informed Mr. b.
that he should preserve it while he lived and
