The Journal of Commerce, of this evening,
contains most extraordinary leading article on
American Manufactures asserting that the

unwarranted by truth. What ought TO be, do
not here speak of, but what as.

FREDERICK COUNTY BANK.


The money stolen some weeks ago from this ins
tuition has heen recovered in New York with the e1
ception of $4,000 in gold which the rogue by com
PROMISE was permitted to retain in consideration of
surrendering the balance ofthe property stolen The
negotiation which terminated in this result was, il
appears, managed through the Intervention of law
yer of New York
We see it stated in the Baltimore Patriot that all
the money was recovered except twenty -eigh thou
sand dollars, under the following circumstances:
Some time ago, the directors of the bank received
comtnunica ion from person in New York named
Wiley who represented hinsefas lawyer, and stated
that he had professionally become acquainted with
such facts would enable him to the restitu-
tion OF the stolen property upon certain terms. DR.
VIM Bradley Tyler one of the directors of the Ere
derrick County Bank and VIM. Nj Beall Esq, the
cashier of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of
Frederick county, repaired TO New York and after
good deal of negotiation succeeded in recovering the
whole amount with the exception oe the sum above
stated We understand that the gold and the notes of
banks other than the issues of the robbed institution
were retained, and that the lawyer who the agent
in compromising the felony, charged a commission OF
some ten thousand dollars for his services No in
formation was given that could lead to u detection
of the robbers, although Mr. Wiley upon being ques,
toned upon that point by Dr. Tyler, said that he (he
