CURIOUS CONFESSION OF FoReERIEs-How TO
show UP ONEs SELF.-Moses Y. Beach, of the
New York Sun, confesses yesterday that he CON-
mitted four distinct forseries or falsicaiions the
text Of Governor Bouck's Message-marked and
numbered thus. " Clincher No. IL" clincher No.
e." clincher No. So" clincher No. f." This is
enc of the most maiue confessions of rogue that
we ever remember to have seen-and we doubt
whether any Of the heroes Of Sing Sing can parallel
IT. Beach certainly deserves the premium for
clinching himself
II appears also that somebody that Beach knows
very WELL tried to cheat two of his contemporaries,
the Tribune and Herald, as well as to forge and
falsify the Governors Message. The way was this:
On the night Beach received the message by EXPRESS
somebody sent at IL o'clock person to our Office
with copy, offering it to us exclusively at $3.50
We laughed at the demand and refused it--alle-
glns that NO one cared about the message-that it
was not worth dollar, yet if we had it exclusively,
we would give go for it. The person then offered
1t at $50 as the lowest price. Still we refused. At
last he consented to take $50 but when our agent
insisted that 1t must be exclusive, the man backed
out-and it appears went to the Tribune to try
similar game, but with no better success
The fact Of the matter is this, the laundering
bockhead, Beach, got stuck with his exclusive mes
sage to the tune Of S35O-and all the whistling he
has made about his express-hise enterprise won
deru sales, is merely to hide his chagrin at his ai-
lure In the trick to shave the Herald and Tribune.
This Beach is one Of the most arrant and consunl-
mate blockheads, ever placed at the head of news
paper. He has not sense enough to know when it
will do to perform bit of newspaper enterprise or
not Governor Bouck's message was not worth
button, if 1t had been received week in advance.
The public knew what it would be, and had no anx-
iety to read it in hurry. This we knew, from our
knowledge of the newspaper business-but you
could not beat such an idea into Beachs thick scull
by any kind of hammering hence, his silly blum
ders. Beachs ambition all along has been to imi-
tate us in newspaper enrerprise-but like the mon
key, Initiating his master shaving himself, he cuts
his own throat, and then chatters da like massa."
Beach's Sun, in consequence of the fellows igno-
rance is going down-and his two banks, Ulster
and Malone, will soon follow. The poor devil will
have to end life as he began lt,by welding the jack
plane, and mending old chairs and tables.
The ST. GEORGES SOCIETY BALL-The benevo-
lent ball given by this highly respectable Society
on Thursday night at Niblo's, was most magnifi-
cent affair. Upwards of three hundred tickets were
disposed of, and the company was one of the most
elite that ever assembled in any ball room in the
city. great number OF ladies' of surprising love-
illness, gave unusual brilliaHcy the joyous
English female beauty in all its charming variety,
from the round full form OF blooming womanhood,
to the blushng girl of seventeen, had its fascinating
representatives. Nor was there wanting goodly
number of worthy sons of old England.
The arrangements were admirable and reflected
the greatest credit the taste and judgment of the
Committee The ballroom was beautifully deco
rated with evergreens, and the very elegant trans
parencies belonging to the Society. At one end of
the room transparency illustrative of the Roy
al Arms of England, and at the other the arms of
the Prince of Wales At the sides were 'r~nspa-
reucies with the pep-~s OF the princes Royal" and
the a--,- the Society," with their motto "Be cha
rity our only boast, and shame our only fear.''
Dancing commenced at eight o'clock, and was
kept up with great spirit till three in the morning.
The supper was of unsurpassed excellence. The
whole occasion, indeed, was one of remarkable en-
joyment Unrestrained gaiety, marked even in its
exuberance, by the greatest refinement, was every
where apparent This has been the first ball given
by the Society, and from the splendid success which
has attended it, the Society cannot but anticipate
the brightest prospects for those in future.
We may add that the st. Georges Society has
uniformly been distinguished for their jealous and
efficient benevolence A great number of their dis
tressed countrymen in the city have been saved
from the extremity of suffering The Society some
time since sent one of the most estimabe of their
members as a deputation to the British Foreign Sc
cretay for the purpose of obtaining his cooperation
in measures for the relief and welfare of emigrants
on their arrival here We heartily wish the Socie.

WELcHs OLYMpIc CIRcUs.-Mr WEIGH has GER
tainly struck vein, and rich one too, and well
does he work it. On his first night the old Park was
literary jammed from pit to dome, nor was there
less number present last evening The fact ls it is
decided hitit draws-the people like t-and that it
is enough We have noticed here what is not al
ways seen at Circus, and that is the ladies they
have seen fit to give Mr. WEIGH the countenance of
their bright eyes, and his success may be consider
ed In addition TO the ladies' there were pre-.
sent last evening, gentlemen of every cas and pro-
fesion-Judges, aldermen, suPerintendens, law
yers, editors, managers, and every body, and
what is more, they all seemed delighted. As Ito the
of the performers it is enough to say that
they gave full and unbounded delight, as the inn
mense cheering testified, to the audience we have
named To please such audiences is praise enough.
WEIGH is carrying the town-Old Drury is on its legs
again.
CHATHAM TuKArRE.-Mr. Williams appears this
evening in three popular characters. The inimita-
