ARREST OF CorsEns.-High Constable Hays

counterfeit fifty and ten cent pieces was IN circu-
aton in the upper eastern section OF the city, and
having also ascertained that it uttered By men
occupying the upper part of house No. 259 Stanton
street, proceeded thithcr yesterday, accompanied
by Justice Malsell Mr. Osborne, clerk OF PONCE
and officers Tappan and i. f. Smith, In the 80
story of the house they found and arrested two

parts of the house they also found "a consideraote
quantity Of the material for making the coin-;he
tools or implements and uoulds, and over the fire
skillet containing quantity of the molten
metal. The High Constable and his assistants
marched the prisoners down to the police Office,
and they were lodged in prison for examination be-
fore the United States Court. Great praise Is due
20 the interchangeable High Constable and his aids
for detecting these counterciters of our national
: coin. and executing these important arrests
EASTWARD TRAvEL.-The stearsboats Wor-
cester and Cleopatra have been purchased by
Capt. Vanderbilt, who now runs the regular daily
line between TIL. city and Norwich, in connec-
ZION with the Railroad to Boston. Better boats,
better accommodations, better management or
fare no man can ask and we heartily commend
this line to public favor.
We regret to learn that the ruinous opposition
on the route to Boston is still kept up, at least
part of the time causing the fare to luctuate from
81 through to $3.50. 1, seems evident that the
latter sun, IS lower than distance of 240 miles,
part steamboat and part Railroad, can be run and
make a living business of it, and we could wish
that this ruinous rivalry were at an end. Is there
no way to adjust all differences fix the fare at
Just rate and keep it there.

FROM THE RIVER PLArg.-By an arrival at
Boston we have Monte Vidco papers to the lltFi
of June and letter of the 18th. The Govern
mcnt, under date of June l1th, ntimated its will
lngness to reduce or rcscind the l6 per cent. ex-
sting extraordinary duties on imports, and the D
per cent on domestic experts, provided the mer-
chants would come forward and subscribe "a sum
such as shall be considered sufficient to entte
them to the said concession" Eight days were
allowed them for this purpose, after which the
Government would determine whether TO rescind
CT not.
Monte Vdeo has been for some time past in an
ticipaton of an invasion by Gen. Oriba, at the
head of 0 900 men; bu: it appears that in Goa
sequence of the advanced state of the season he
has determined to winter his troops in Santa he
and commences his operations next spring. Come
when he may, he will meet with desperate re-
sistance; the Government having adopted the mos
decisive measures for the defence OF the State. lr
the event Of invasion, it is contemplated 10 eman.
cipate the Negro population, and it is said that
about 200 of them can be mustered to bear arms
added to which, are two thousand Europeans
Varcos, who have enrolled themselves fer one
wear, and about 900 natives. With such force
to contend with, there is very little probability OF
Oriba's success. Journal of Commerce.
